[Net King] Pilgrim

Machida sat on the bench in the waiting room of the surgery and was stunned for a long time, until the nurse came over to remind her that it was time for the appointment, then she suddenly returned to her thoughts.

The televised match had reached the point of fierce competition, so Machida calmed down, put on his backpack and walked to the consultation room.

A few months ago, she accidentally injured the fingers of her right hand. Although she didn't hurt her vitals, she had to rest for a long time before recovering.

At that time, she weighed and wanted to wait until the injury was almost healed before telling her family. As a result, Machida Jiu asked a few words during the video call, and came to the UK to see her worried, and lightly reprimanded her for being injured outside. Talk to family.So she was originally allowed by the doctor not to come to the hospital again, but in order to reassure her family, she did a few more reexaminations.

He knocked on the door of the consulting room, and pushed the door open in response.

It was a single consultation room, spacious and clean, with a pot of low green plants by the window.

At the table by the window sat a young doctor, wearing a light blue medical uniform, confirming the information with the computer.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked up and smiled slightly, "Morning." He spoke Japanese with a nice Tokyo accent.

"Morning, Dr. Amuro." Machida smiled politely, turned around and closed the door.

"How is your right hand feeling?"

"Movement is no problem, but the healed area is still itchy." She walked over and sat down, took off her backpack and put it in front of her. "My fingers are a little sore when it's cloudy and rainy."

A large part of the reason why Machida Kazu's right hand injury was not particularly serious was that she was lucky to meet Kaede Amuro when she was accidentally injured.

With limited conditions, he still calmly and professionally treated her as an emergency, went to the hospital together, and helped translate a bunch of medical terms that made her extremely dizzy.

Later, when she went for a follow-up examination, she saw him again, and learned that in order to facilitate her to see a doctor, he applied to take over her follow-up treatment.

It was at that time that Machida learned that Kaede Amuro was a British-Japanese-born man who grew up in Yorkshire. He graduated from the University of Glasgow School of Medicine, and was already a well-known surgeon at a young age.

Machida's first impression of him was that there was always a bit of rebelliousness in his gentlemanly demeanor.

Amuro Feng lowered her head and carefully checked her hands, "It's still in the recovery period, itching is normal, and the weather here is a bit humid."

He straightened up, and tapped his fingers on the keyboard, "The wound is actually not serious, just follow the doctor's advice several times before, take care of it..." He stopped suddenly, and turned his eyes, "Add one, less practice Qin."

Machida pursed his lips.

He smiled and continued to stare at the computer and type, "It's okay to practice moderately, but you should avoid overworking your hands during the recovery period. Your fingers are about to callus."

You have to listen to the doctor, she nodded in response.

Amuro knew that she was good at musical instruments because she asked him during the first reexamination whether the wound would affect his finger playing after the wound healed.

After listening to it at the time, the first sentence he said was not to answer yes or no, but to ask her in surprise, did you study music?

Because there was a slight deviation in the choice of majors for the exchange student program, she only explained in a general way that she had moved from music to drama, but she still practiced piano.

When he heard this, his eyes stayed on her face for a few seconds, and he said in a tone that seemed to bet on his doctor's name, as long as she followed the doctor's orders, she could still play the piano in the future.

After a pause, he asked again, is it a piano?

She said piano and guitar.

He nodded and said nothing more.

Such simple life-like dialogues will be present in every review after Machida Kazu, and Kaede Amuro often goes to the school library to search for information, and when the two happen to meet in school, they will also chat briefly.

Mostly Kaede Amuro started the topic first, talking about daily trivialities, such as her life when she was studying in Japan, why she went to school in England, where she traveled during the holidays; he also talked about the differences between England and Scotland. Customs, because the mixture of his own life experience makes those stories sound very vivid.

He speaks properly and never oversteps the rules, which makes people not feel disgusted at all, so Machida Kazu does not reject his initiative to talk, and sometimes asks him something out of politeness.But only polite.

Kaede Amuro's upbringing in dealing with people is very proper. When he asked her naturally "Do you have a boyfriend", Machida also answered naturally, no.

Then his next sentence nailed her in place, "Then can I treat you to a movie?"

He didn't even say that in the hospital, he waited until the time and place were right before asking, unobtrusively.

It was only then that Machida realized that in the first impression Kaede Amuro left on her, the rebelliousness in his bones had gradually subsided, and the rest was only a gentleman.

She understood what such an invitation meant.She is no longer a young girl in junior high school. She was also a person who often showed up in school because of performances in junior high school. She met many suitors and heard various ways of confessing.

But her answer was only one from beginning to end.

terribly sorry.

With a little smile in his eyes, he asked her, "What's the reason for the refusal?"

She was silent for a few seconds, "I have someone I like."

This time, Amuro Feng smiled with relief, without any offense, and his expression looked a little difficult.

He said that he had envisioned several possibilities of being rejected, and if he was not available, did not spend enough time with her, or even if he was not her type, he would have a way to deal with it, but she just mentioned the most difficult one.

Machida Kazu could only sincerely say again, I am really sorry.

She didn't suffix it with words like you're good, or you'll meet better girls in the future.Comparing my heart to my heart, if I stand in An Shifeng's position, knowing that someone has already occupied the other's heart, and then hear those pale comforting words, it will be like stabbing her in the heart.

Amuro shook his head lightly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and stood in the quiet campus buildings.

At that moment, he had to admit that he envied and even envied the man Machida had his heart attached to.

But he didn't ask much in the end, he wouldn't ask questions that involved other people's privacy, and the tone of her refusal made it sound like she would never give anyone else a chance except the one she cared about.

But at least let him finish what he wants to say.

After a moment of silence, he said: "In fact, since I first took over your treatment, I hid my selfishness. Of course, I just wanted to help as a compatriot at the beginning, and you were injured because of saving others. Slowly, I just care about you."

"If it started, I think it was when you said you were good at playing the piano. You know, what a pair of hands means to a surgeon, just like I know what a pair of hands means to a performer. .”

He suddenly smiled helplessly, "At that time, I even thought, how hard this girl must be to save her own hand. Later, I found out that you don't specialize in playing, and I was relieved, but Even so, I want to do my best to make your hand heal as soon as possible."

"Yi, I like you very much. You are a girl that people unconsciously want to get close to. Because being close to you makes people feel very warm."

"I hope you can always live such a bright life. I hope you are happy."

Amuro Feng's confession ended here, and he never mentioned this matter again.

He thought, since he was not the one she chose, he should withdraw decently. If he insisted on taking a step forward, it would only cause trouble for her.

He didn't want her to be bothered.

Amuro Feng entered the last line of information on the computer, and continued to instruct, "Oh, and remember to apply the medicine for removing scars."

Machida nodded, "Okay."

"That's all. Do you want to make an appointment for the next review? It can be longer." He flipped through the calendar on the table a few times and turned to look at her. "Or it's okay not to review again, as long as you are careful Follow the doctor's advice. I know you came here a few more times to reassure your family, but you don't need to worry too much, you've recovered very well."

Machida looked at his right hand and thought for a while, "Then don't make an appointment, I'll be more careful, and school will start soon, I should be busy for a while, so I won't come."

She thanked Amuro Kaede.Not only on the level of medical treatment, but also every follow-up visit after refusing him, he still maintained a pure doctor-patient relationship with her in the hospital, without excessive pursuit and stalking, and did not make her feel uncomfortable.

She raised her eyes and said sincerely, "Thank you."

It should be the last time to be able to seriously thank him for the opportunity.She stopped coming to the hospital, which almost meant that they would never see each other again, only by chance at school later.

An Shifeng looked at her, his eyes were filled with emotion before his pupils were filled with emotion, many words rolled in his throat, but he couldn't pick out a suitable one.

For a moment, he just smiled, "You're welcome, pay attention to your body."

Machida picked up his belongings and got up to leave, closing the door gently.

The moment the door closed, the pen spinning in Kaede Amuro's hand stopped, and the tip of the pen drew a few ink spots on the worksheet.

The cold air of winter comes after one after another, the sky is clear and the wind is blowing hard.

On the way back to the apartment, Machida stopped by the supermarket to buy some food when he remembered the empty refrigerator in the kitchen.

When I entered the house and changed my shoes at the entrance, I heard the sound of water splashing from the direction of the bathroom.

She stood at the door and looked into the room. The door of the bedroom closest to the entrance was wide open, and she could see the suitcase spread out on the floor of the room at a glance, and some clothes were turned out beside it.

Machida went straight to the kitchen and began to organize the refrigerator. Ten minutes later, I took a glass of water and walked to the living room.

The bathroom door was opened at this moment, and Janice came out barefoot, wiping her hair, with dark circles under her eyes, and a plain shirt, showing her frail figure, and greeted her with tired eyes and voice.

Machida sat on the sofa and smiled at her, "How are you doing, did you take a photo with Santa Claus?"

"The snow in Finland is so heavy... I took a lot of pictures with the sled dogs." Janice went back to the bedroom to get the hair dryer, and then went to the bathroom.

Janice and Machida are students at the same school. She is a third-year chemistry major. She is a Malaysian-Chinese. She lived in Japan for two years because of her family's job transfer when she was a child, so she can speak Japanese very well.At the beginning of the new semester, the two happened to be roommates. They were the same age and had overlapping life experiences. After getting along for a few months, they felt that they hit it off.

"Where did you go this morning?"

"Hospital."

Janice poked her head out of the bathroom, "How are you recovering?"

"not bad."

"That's good. Will you go for a review later?"

"I won't go, I'm fine, and I'm still busy at the beginning of school."

Janice went back to the bathroom to connect the hair dryer, leaned against the bathroom door to dry her hair, and chatted, "You said you and Kenneth have been alone so many times, why didn't anything happen?"

"..."

Kenneth is the English name of Kaede Amuro. Janice had accompanied Machida for a reexamination and knew that he was the receiving doctor.

After taking a sip of water, Machida felt that it was necessary to say, "I rejected him."

Janice was startled, and turned off the hair dryer, "... When did it happen, why haven't I heard from you?"

"...Before the holiday." Machida put a water glass on the table, and said in a calm and unafraid tone, "That's all for now, don't mention it any more."

Janice nodded, expressing her understanding, this kind of thing is really not easy to talk about.

I couldn't help but say a few words at the end, "I just think...it's a pity, an elite like Kenneth has a good appearance, and I haven't met him so I can't be sure, but judging from his word of mouth and the packed venues in the school Judging from the lecture, it should be worthy of further understanding..." She stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, "Ah Yi."

Machida looked at her suspiciously.

"You don't really dislike men, do you?"

"..."

Janice threw away the hair dryer, ran over barefoot and knelt on the sofa, "Did I hit the mark?"

Machida raised his hand and gently pushed her forehead, "I think you memorized the periodic table of elements too much." After speaking, he remembered something, "By the way, how about your internship?"

Janice's major was studied for five years, and the curriculum stipulated that she would spend a year in another city for an internship in her senior year. "It's decided, go to Zurich."

"when are we leaving?"

"It's the middle of the year. Why, can't you bear me?"

Machida glanced at her.

Janice put her arms around her neck, "Don't deny it. Since you are so reluctant to part with me, then I will give you a chance to stay with me for a while." After that, he picked up an apple from the table, "When I finish handing in my thesis, weekend Go to the bar tonight?"
