[Net King] The continuation of the dream

When Mist was lying on the bed at dusk and evening, he still felt a little dazed.

Obviously his initial plan was to spend the night in the escort chair, but he heard his minister say that the chair is uncomfortable to sleep in, and he might catch a cold or something. He didn't realize it for a while, but he was brought into rhythm, and finally turned into the current situation. Sleeping in the same hospital bed with each other...

The young man in Kyoto lay stiffly, feeling inexplicably nervous and regretful - Yukimura-kun is going to have surgery tomorrow, so he should have a good rest, his behavior may disturb the other party's rest.

...Fortunately, the beds in the single ward here are quite big, and it's not too crowded to sleep two puberty teenagers.

Sunset and evening mist's thoughts were a rare confusion, until a sudden chuckle broke the somewhat dull atmosphere.

"Yukimura-kun?"

Yukimura Seichi's smiling voice sounded: "Is Xiao Xi acting a horror story?"

Sunset and evening mist inexplicable: "What?"

"The body is frozen and motionless, if it is not for breathing..." The words are not finished, but they are meaningful.

Sunset and Xiwu felt hot on his face, and said with embarrassment: "Sorry..."

"Aren't you used to it?"

"...I just feel that Yukimura-kun is bothering you."

Yukimura Seichi said: "No, it's boring to be alone in the hospital at night. I'm very happy that Xiaoxi can stay."

The time is actually still early.The two talked slowly, and the embarrassment of the young man in Kyoto gradually disappeared, and he became more at ease.

"It's already nine o'clock." Sunset and Dusk reminded me warmly.

Although it was not time to go to bed according to the usual schedule, the other party was a patient after all.

Yukimura Seichi said with a smile: "But, I can't sleep at all."

Sunset and Xiwu raised his heart slightly: "It's because of me..."

"No," the blue-haired boy directly cut off the other party's self-blaming words, "I slept too much during the day."

"Is that so?"

"So, Xiao Xi thinks of a way?"

At dusk and at night, the mist was a little confused: "What... method?"

Yukimura Seichi said with a smile: "You can tell a few jokes."

...do not understand the logical relationship between the front and back.The Kyoto boy couldn't help but fell silent.

"Oh, it seems that Xiao Xi can't tell jokes."

Ri Mu Xi Wu hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is a man who has no money to buy vegetables, so he eats plain rice in front of an eel shop every meal..."

Suddenly there was a puff.

The young man from Kyoto paused and hesitated: "Kun Yukimura?"

Why did the other party laugh before the joke he said got into the topic?

"Hehe, the first time I heard this joke was before elementary school."

Ri Mu Xi Wu said blushingly: "I saw this joke in a monthly magazine not long ago, I thought..." I thought it wasn't a very popular joke.

Yukimura Seichi replied: "Maybe the editor of the monthly magazine is from the same era as Xiao Xi."

"..."

The blue-haired boy suppressed a smile—although he wasn't amused by a joke—and changed his tone: "Okay, don't embarrass Xiao Xi anymore."

No, Rimu Xiwu suddenly said: "There is a family of Rimu who named their newborn baby Ji, and the registrant wrote it as Rimu Rimu." (蜩 is the same pronunciation as Rimu)

Yukimura Seiichi was stunned for a moment, but suddenly realized, he laughed: "Where did Xiaoxi see this?"

Sunset and Xiwu muttered: "...I made it up temporarily."

The sound is like a mosquito.But it was still clearly and distinctly heard by another person.

"puff--"

Sunset and evening fog are a bit embarrassing.But... Yukimura-kun is smiling so happily, maybe this joke is okay?

Yukimura Seichi couldn't help laughing: "So Xiao Xi compares herself to a coward?"

"……what."

"It seems that Xiao Xi has also inherited the talent of Kansai people in making cold jokes!"

"..."

After a while, Higurashi and Xigiri couldn't help but say again: "Xingmura-kun thinks...is it really funny?"

"It wasn't too funny at first, but when I thought of Xiao Xi making up such a cold joke in a serious manner..." Yukimura Seichi's tone was obviously smiling, "I couldn't help it."

The young man in Kyoto was silent for a while, thinking helplessly in his heart: Forget it, it would be good to make Yukimura-kun happy....

Yukimura Seichi had laughed enough, and suddenly sighed softly: "Now I can't sleep anymore."

"What's the matter, Yukimura-kun?" Higurashi and Xiwu couldn't help worrying.

Perhaps it was the surgery day, the always calm young man from Kyoto could no longer maintain his calm state of mind.

"I laughed so much, I lost my sleepiness," Yukimura Seichi said innocently, "It's all because of Xiao Xi's joke..."

"..."

After a while, the fog made a sound at dusk and evening, and tentatively suggested: "Why don't you listen to light music for a while?"

"Light music?"

"Well, it helps sleep."

Yukimura Seichi smiled and said, "But what if I want to hear Xiao Xi sing more?"

At dusk and evening, Mist was slightly dazed.

"Since Xiao Xi won the karaoke contest, she must be a good singer, right?"

The young man in Kyoto unconsciously thought of the song he sang in the Chinese Karaoke Contest for Teenagers in Kansai Middle School, and was a little embarrassed... Imagine singing "Boundless End of the World" in a quiet ward at night, the picture is really amazing ...

Yukimura Seichi didn't hear any response, so he sighed again: "Sure enough, I'm asking too much, I'm hated by Xiao Xi..."

Sunset and Xiwu regained consciousness in an instant, subconsciously said: "No..." His tone paused slightly, "The songs that participated in the competition before are not suitable for singing in hospitals... What do you think of folk songs, Mr. Yukimura?"

"Listening to folk songs occasionally is also a good experience," Yukimura Seichi replied, "So, Xiaoxi agreed to sing?"

Sunset and Xiwu didn't reply directly, but suppressed the voice, lowered the tune of the music, and sang softly: "AmbrunnenvordemtoredastehteinLindenbaum..."

The gentle singing voice, the lingering accent unique to Kyoto, lacks the desolation and sadness of the original song, and adds a little more lingering affection.

a long time.

Seiichi Yukimura said, "Is it Schubert's "Winter Journey"?"

Sunset and Xiwu responded, and explained: "The fifth song is "The Bodhi Tree".

"This is the first time I've heard the libretto version."

"It may be that the pure tone version of "The Bodhi Tree" has spread more widely," the young man from Kyoto explained softly, "My teacher said that "Winter Journey" was originally written by Schubert based on the 24 poems of Mill. Created a vocal suite."

"Really? My understanding of music is not as good as Xiao Xi's."

Sunset and Xiwu smiled slightly, and didn't say much... He knew so much because he had a special teacher who taught him all the time.

"Xiao Xi's sense of music is very good," Seiichi Yukimura changed his words, "If you don't become a tennis player, you may be able to make some achievements in music."

Ri Mu Xi Wu said modestly: "The teacher has not been very satisfied with my performance."

"It seems that your teacher expects a lot from you."

"what."

"Xiao Xi seems to like German music?"

"...It's also a habit, right?" Sunset and Xiwu Hui said, "When I started learning the cello, I was exposed to German music."

"So, Xiao Xi's German is very good."

"Actually, my oral English is not very fluent," Ri Mu Xi Wu said shyly, "Singing and speaking are still a bit different."

"But Xiao Xi's Chinese is really good, right?"

"Well, influenced by my grandfather... Qianliang also has a special liking for China, so she started learning Chinese since she was a child."

"It's really amazing, Xiao Xi."

"...Compared to Yukimura-kun, it's still far behind."

Yukimura Seichi laughed again: "Are we two flattering each other?"

"..."

Sunset and Xiwu changed the subject: "It's almost ten o'clock...sleep?"

"But I still want to hear Xiao Xi continue singing..."

"Then, just sing the last song?"

Yukimura Seiki was slightly curious: "What will Xiao Xi sing this time?"

"Gute Nacht."

--Good night.

It's not yet dawn.Sunset and evening mist woke up as usual according to the biological clock.

It's too early.

The young man in Kyoto hesitated for a while, and made some calculations in his mind. He didn't get up immediately, and stared at the ceiling with his eyes open. After a while, he recalled the chapter on shooting rituals, and began to meditate and "train his mind" as usual.

Suddenly someone poked her cheek lightly.

Higiri opened his eyes, and subconsciously lowered his voice: "Yukimura-kun, you're awake."

"Good morning, Xiao Xi."

Ignoring the slight touch of "Good morning" in his heart, the young man from Kyoto returned his greeting and got up lightly.

"Are you going back?"

"Ah, I have to go back to morning training."

Sunset and evening mist were quickly cleaned up, and they turned their eyes to the boy on the bed: "Please, Mr. Yukimura, take a good rest."

Seiichi Yukimura sat on the bed with a smile on his face: "Be careful on the road, Xiao Xi."

The young man from Kyoto nodded: "See you in the afternoon." Lifting the backpack, he thought of something, put down the things again, and reached out to untie the tie...

"Xiao Xi?"

"This is a protective object given by Master Kongchi of Kinkakuji Temple, which can protect the wearer's life in peace and prosperity."

Yukimura Seiichi looked very determined: "I can't accept it."

Sunset and Xiwu smiled warmly: "Just ask Yukimura-kun to keep it for a day."

Yukimura Seiki frowned... It wasn't that he didn't want to accept this person's kindness, but that he accidentally knew that this bodhi pendant had been worn by the other person since shortly after he was born.

Sunset and Xiwu didn't know how to persuade the other party—although it was impolite to force, but it was hard to control the desire to find some peace of mind... Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a voice from the person on the hospital bed.

"Okay, I'll take care of it for Xiao Xi for a day."

Sunset and Xiwu were stunned for a moment, a little puzzled why this person suddenly changed his attitude, but...

He pursed his lips and smiled, and put the bodhi pendant in the opponent's palm.

——It’s good that Yukimura-kun is willing to accept the things.

"However, please ask Xiao Xi to keep one thing for me."

"what?"

Yukimura Seiichi stood up, walked up to the confused boy, and opened his arms...

Sunset and Xiwu suddenly opened his eyes wide, instinctively wanting to struggle, but also thinking about the body of the sick person, and eventually his whole body became stiff, letting those arms be trapped around his waist——

Solid, powerful.
