[Volleyball Boys] Youth to be continued

Yu Wei did not expect that he would be sent to the hospital by his uncle.

Compared with the school's health room, the disinfectant here has a strong and pungent smell.

This is also Yuwei's first visit to a large hospital for medical treatment, and all kinds of examinations made her a little confused.She could only cooperate with all her strength, and by the way "persuade" her uncle to go to school to attend classes and check things. She has no problem alone.

But my uncle was still worried, so he asked the school for leave to stay with her, which made her very embarrassed.

Compared with getting sick, Yu Wei was more afraid of causing trouble to others.

So, when she was told by the doctor that it was pneumonia... Her first reaction was, "Excuse me, do I need to be hospitalized?"

The doctor nodded, "Yes, you need to stay in the hospital for observation."

Whether it is bacterial pneumonia or viral pneumonia, the treatment methods are different for different types, and it needs to wait for other inspection reports before it can be determined.But now, due to the low blood oxygen saturation, Yu needs to wear a mask to inhale oxygen.

Before lying down, Yu Wei specifically said to Takeda Kazutsu who looked worried, "Uncle...cough cough...please...cough...don't tell anyone else about this matter."

Takeda Kazutsu was startled for a moment, then nodded, "Well, I understand."

"And...cough..." Yu Wei smiled apologetically at the nurse, and continued, "Uncle, let's go to school...cough cough...I'm really fine..."

If you want to convey, you must make it clear in advance.

Although it was her first time in the hospital, she thought she could handle everything well.

Don't let my uncle tell other people, because I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

She knows Karasuno's friends very well... She probably will worry about her after knowing.

Spring high school is approaching, everyone's studies and training are very hard, even if they are self-indulgent... She doesn't want anyone to be distracted by it.

The same goes for uncle, she knows how busy he is usually, so...

"Xiao Hai, I know what you want to say, don't worry, uncle knows how to arrange time."

"..."

Ok.

Yu didn't understand that although Takeda Kazutsu seemed easy to talk, but sometimes he was extremely stubborn, so he stopped talking and obediently put on the oxygen mask.

Chapter52 Facing the Lonely Girl

This evening, Karasuno volleyball club training.

Since neither Takeda-sensei nor Yumi appeared, everyone couldn't help asking why.

Supervisor Wu Yang said, "Student Aoi has some matters at home, Mr. Takeda is working with her, so I asked for leave."

Although what he said was somewhat ambiguous, it was inconvenient for everyone to ask if it was a private matter.

Only Tadashi Yamaguchi noticed something was wrong, which came from his good friend Hotaru Tsukishima.

The boy frowned after hearing Supervisor Wu Yang's words, as if he knew something.

"Yue, are you..."

"I am fine."

Before he finished asking, Tsukishima Hotaru immediately shook her head.

Tadashi Yamaguchi knew Tsukishima Hotaru very well... If he refused to speak, it would be useless to ask.

While silently caring about his friend, he quietly...followed him after the training was over.

The boy was the same as usual, after leaving school, he was walking in the direction of the Karasuno Town Citizens Gymnasium, but...

At a certain corner, he stopped suddenly.

"Do you think I don't know that you are behind me?" The tall man turned his head, and a cold light flashed behind the glasses.

"..." Tadashi Yamaguchi was terrified, and immediately walked out from the corner, "Yue, you misunderstood... I, I am actually looking for Shimada-senpai."

Tadashi Yamaguchi has been practicing floating ball with Makoto Shimada, the OB of the Karasuno Volleyball Club... He is right, the fruit and vegetable store where Shimada-senpai works is indeed going in this direction.

but……

"Then why are you sneaking around?"

"Uh."

Because he was discovered, Tadashi Yamaguchi had no choice but to follow him... so he had to part with the boy normally at the intersection that was about to arrive at Karasuno Shopping Street.

"Moon, goodbye."

"Ah."

Tsukishima Hotaru is too sharp, it may be impossible to follow him today...

Tsukishima Hotaru, who successfully got rid of Tadashi Yamaguchi, stopped after turning a corner, and after confirming that his friend had left, he turned back the same way.

Because, the Wuye General Hospital he wanted to go to was just on the way when he came here.

*****

"Mr. Takeda, this is the hospital's regulation, and it must be signed by the immediate family members."

"But……"

"Sorry, I hope you can practice with the patient's immediate family as soon as possible."

"..."

Because I asked Takeda Yitetsu in advance, Tsukishima Hotaru quickly arrived at the floor where the respiratory department was located.

However, just as he was about to go to the ward, he accidentally heard the teacher and the nurse "arguing" about something.

After the nurse left, Hotaru Tsukishima immediately stepped forward, "Takeda-sensei." He looked down at Kazutsu Takeda, who was much shorter than himself, and from this angle, the gloomy mist on his face seemed to float above his head, "What happened? What's wrong?"

"...Tsukishima-kun." Takeda Kazutsu looked up at him, then sighed softly, "It's about injecting antibiotics. Because Xiao Hai is underage, he needs the consent of his immediate family."

So why not ask her parents?This sentence quickly floated through Tsukishima Hotaru's mind. In his consciousness, this is not a difficult task.

But Mr. Takeda was very conflicted, "Xiao Hai's mother is currently abroad, as for her father... Xiao Hai specifically told me not to say anything."

why?

Tsukishima Hotaru also frowned subconsciously as if infected by Takeda Kazuttsu's sad expression at the moment.

In fact, yesterday he wanted to ask... why does Aoi Yumi, who is only 16 years old, live alone, where are her parents?What about siblings?He remembered her in the idol days, and every time he introduced himself, he would say "from Miyagi Prefecture", so, where did the family in Miyagi Prefecture go?Is it only the uncle teacher?

"Tsukishima-kun..." probably because the question on Tsukishima Hotaru's face was too obvious, Takeda Kazutsu explained after thinking for a moment, "The situation of Xiaohai's family is more complicated, I will talk to you later when I have time."

I have time to listen now——Tsukishima Hotaru really wanted to say this, but because she noticed something else, she suddenly changed her words, "Wait, Takeda-sensei... You said, Aoi needs antibiotics?" Just now He did mention this.

"Well, the doctor just warned me in advance." Takeda Kazutsu's tone was a little heavy, "If the high fever persists, you may need to inject antibiotics."

In other words, it hasn't reached that point yet, right...

Although Tsukishima Hotaru has never been to the hospital, she also knows that the hospital is very cautious about the use of antibiotics, unless it is a very serious situation.

"Then Aoi, how is she doing now?"

"Xiaohai is quite energetic today, but he coughs when he speaks."

"Then, is she resting now?"

"Probably not..." Takeda Kazutsu knew Tsukishima Hotaru's intention, and smiled helplessly, "However, I still suggest Tsukishima-kun not to go in, because I promised Xiaohai not to tell other people about her illness. But I told you... If she knows, she will be angry." At this point, Takeda Kazuki paused, and then reminded——

"So, Tsukishima-kun, just pretend not to know."

*****

The next day.

Yu Wei did another blood test and breath test. According to the doctor, he has improved to a certain extent, but because he still has a low-grade fever intermittently, he needs to continue to rest and observe.

At her insistence, Takeda Kazutsu accompanied her to finish the examination early in the morning and left the hospital.

Her psychological pressure was finally reduced.

The only inconvenience is probably the matter of dragging the drip bottle to the toilet... Because her blood vessels are thin, the speed of the drip is set very slowly. It is impossible for her to bear it until the end is over, so she consulted the nurse After that, he left the ward by himself.

Fortunately, all the facilities in the hospital are sound, even if he is alone, there is no big problem.

However, it was probably the first time she entered the hospital, and she was used to walking at her own pace every day, and suddenly felt empty in her heart, and she couldn't explain why, it seemed that there was a place suddenly vacant somewhere in her heart, and Above that position, there are many unknown emotions floating... The shapes are scattered, the outlines are blurred, and even the colors cannot be recognized.

It wasn't until she passed a certain ward after going to the toilet that she happened to see a girl acting like a baby to her mother, and those emotions seemed to become clear all of a sudden.

"Mom, I don't want to take medicine, it's so bitter..."

"Miki-chan, as long as you take these medicines obediently, mom will give you a candy~~"

"Then I want strawberry-flavored fudge~!"

"Uh-huh."

Yu never had such an experience.

In her memory, her mother was always unhappy, with a worried look, thinking about how to get the approval of the Aoi family, and even said to her, "Hawei, why are you not a boy? If you are a boy, you will alright."

Yu Wei, who was very young, didn't know why her mother said that, she just tried her best to cooperate with her mother, showing a cute side in front of the elders of the Qingjing family.

However, her obedience did not bring much help to her mother—the mother was still unhappy and always quarreled with her father. Later, her mother took her away from home. It should be autumn, on a rainy night, in the dilapidated In the hotel, Yu Wei said to the crying mother, "I will definitely earn a lot of money in the future, and then give my mother the best life."

She knew that her mother's favorite thing was money.

But before she could earn money, her mother abandoned her.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"Takuro is obedient, when the illness recovers, mom will take you to Tokyo, to Disneyland, okay?"

"...Woo, good."

It's a sight I've never noticed before.

Those children who acted like a baby because of illness, seemed to stretch out their hands into the air full of pungent disinfectant smell, and pulled Yu Wei out of the independent and strong protective shield that he had been shaping all along.

Yu Wei could clearly see the emotions in his heart—sharp shapes, deep outlines, and gray colors, with pungent and sour.

When she returned to the ward, she met the nurse bringing in the medicine and food, and carefully said which medicines should be taken before meals and which medicines should be taken after meals. She smiled habitually and watched the nurse leave politely. , and the moment he put the pill in his mouth, tears welled up in his eyes.

It's strange, why are you crying?There is no reason to cry, she is not sad.

It's strange, is this medicine so bitter?Just drink water quickly.

That's strange... It turns out that the taste of tears is also bitter.

These bitter, warm liquids kept coming out of the eyes, as if out of control.

When he came back to his senses, Yu Wei sniffed, and suddenly noticed a person standing at the door of the ward.

"Uh..." When she looked over, her expression froze on her face, "cough..." To Tsukishima Hotaru who appeared here at this time for some reason, she said awkwardly, "cough...cough I'm crying... oh..."

After speaking, she was a little anxious to look through the tissues.

Unexpectedly, the boy took a few steps forward and put the tissue box on the bedside table directly on the small table set up in front of her.

"Your nose is running out."

"..."

Yumi really wanted to ask, Tsukishima-kun, don't you go to class?

I also want to ask, why do you know I'm here?

However, the boy did not give her any chance to ask.

But after she finished blowing her nose and drying her tears, she turned and left without saying a word.

? ? ? ? ?

Countless question marks appeared on Yu Wei's head.

...What is this man doing here?

...a lunch break...a walk?

But it didn't take long... Just when she took two mouthfuls of porridge and felt no appetite and put down the spoon, the boy returned to the ward again.

"Qingjing." His eyes were still blocked behind the glasses, and his tone did not fluctuate, "Didn't Yinju's setter come?"

Eh?

Yu Wei froze for a moment, then quickly shook his head.

What's the situation... How did Grinding come here?

In other words, you must not let Grinding know about this, otherwise...

"You...don't say it." Yu Wei looked at Tsukishima Hotaru vigilantly. Although she didn't know the purpose of his coming here, she had to stick to her "belief". "Please...don't tell anyone."

"..." The boy didn't reply, but raised his chin slightly, as if he was examining her.

Yu Wei was stared at by him a little hairy, and continued to speak against the sore throat, "It's just... just a small cold, and in two days...cough cough..."

"Oh." The boy suddenly interrupted her, "Are you going to say that it will be fine in two days?"

clever!

Yu Wei nodded frantically.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the corner of Tsukishima Hotaru's mouth seemed to twitch slightly.

It was probably because Yu Wei was really inconvenient to speak, and the two of them had nothing to say... The boy left after a while of silence.

This time, he never turned back, never again...

...until, at night.

Hami, who was about to have dinner, noticed that Tsukishima Hotaru had appeared in the ward again, she straightened her back uncontrollably, and smiled awkwardly and politely at him.

"You don't need to talk." The boy noticed her opening her mouth, and immediately stepped forward to stop her, and then put a few notebooks in front of her before Yu shut up, "This is the class notes for the past two days, you are bored You can take a look at it.”

"..." Yu Wei didn't expect that he came to deliver this, he felt grateful but also a little helpless... It's too inhuman to be hospitalized and study!

But Tsukishima Hotaru said, "Aren't you going to be the first in the grade?"

"...Mmm." Yu Wei responded softly, and the helpless emotion disappeared immediately.

He was right, even if she was sick...she couldn't lose her goal!

"Thank you... Yue... Cough..."

"Please really stop talking."

"..."

Okay, don't say it, definitely don't say it!

Yu Wei shut up with a wry smile, and saw the boy leave after saying "bye".

He should, just come to deliver a note.

It seems that the next monthly exam...it will be impossible if you don't take the first place!

*****

Tsukishima Hotaru, who left the hospital, received a call from Kuro Tetsuro on the way to the Karasuno Town Citizens Gymnasium.

【Hey】

[Yuezi, how is student Aoi doing? 】

[No comment] Tsukishima Hotaru lowered her face, [I'm going to die]

[Hey...wait, Yuezai] Heiwei's tone was a little anxious, [Sorry, because there are three-party talks in the past two days, so I haven't told Grinding about this yet]

[Whatever you want] Hotaru Tsukishima is obviously angry, and doesn't even bother to say honorifics, [I don't think the three-party talks are as important as this matter]

Heiwei on the other end of the phone paused, 【...Yue, you are not against Aoi...】

【I'm going to hang up】

[Wait...] Heiwei answered in a hurry again, [I'm sorry, Yuezi, I just think that girls like Qingjing are easy for boys to care about... You think, if she is beautiful and excellent, if she is sick , even the hard-hearted Yuezai should be tempted]

...with a heart of stone.

Hearing this "evaluation", Hotaru Tsukishima's mouth twitched.

【Heiwei San】The next moment, he finally used the honorific, 【You are right, I really care about it】

Shrouded by the dark sky at this moment, the boy's expression was dim.

In contrast, his voice was exceptionally clear and decisive, falling into the night.

——【If your setter doesn't come again, don't blame me for taking action】

*****

at the same time.Tokyo, Lone Claw's house.

"Grinding, there is your package, I put it on the coffee table."

"Ah."

After finishing the day's lessons and training, I thought that the package I received was a prize for the game lottery, and I planned to read it after dinner...but because my mother said next, "It was sent from Sendai." What?" and immediately walked to the living room.

【Miyagi Prefecture・Sendai City】

Grinding took a look at the postmark, then carefully opened the not-so-big package.

The kraft box comes in a small pink box with a white heart on it.

As if anticipating something, he took a deep breath and lifted the paper cover of the small box.

The next moment, a small, fluffy...

"What a cute cat, is this made of wool felt?"

The mother's voice came from nearby, her grinding eyes fixed on the three-colored cat in the box, and she gave a soft "hmm".Although I don't know what wool felt is, my mother should be right.

"Grinding, there is a card." Mom pointed to the lid of the pink box.

Only then did the boy realize that there was a card in the cover, which was also pink.

"Dad, Grinding just laughed." The mother returned to the kitchen, and said excitedly to the father who was serving the meal, "He received a wool felt of a three-coloured cat. It seems that someone made it by hand."

"Really?" Dad raised his head curiously, "Could it be a gift from Grinding's girlfriend?"

"Hey, do grinding girlfriends really exist..."

"Why don't you ask mom to see if there are any photos or something."

After receiving Dad's instructions, Mom returned to the living room with a smile, and saw her son putting the card back into the box, closing it, and hugging the box in her arms.

"Grinding..." She pretended to ask casually, "Did it...was a gift from my girlfriend?"

The boy nodded, with the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, "Yeah."

It's rare to see her son in such a good mood, so the mother took advantage of the opportunity to express her thoughts, "Grinding girlfriend, mother and father both want to know what he looks like..."

They all made things by hand and gave them to him. It seems that this girlfriend should be three-dimensional instead of Two-dimensional.

The mother who thought this way was looking forward to Grinding's response.

——[Ding Dong]

But... the doorbell suddenly rang.

"and many more."

Mom immediately turned around and walked out.

After a while, a familiar voice came from the door.

"Auntie, good evening, excuse me, I have something to do with grinding."

"Xiaotie, come in, come in." Mom greeted the black-tailed Tielang who came suddenly with a happy face, and asked in a low voice in the hallway, "Xiaotie, have you seen Grinding's girlfriend?"

"..." Heiwei Tielang froze for a moment, then nodded with a complicated expression, "Yes, I've seen it."

"Hey... that's great."

With the certification of her childhood sweetheart, the mother finally believed that her son's girlfriend was a real person.

What does this girlfriend look like?She was so curious.

"Grinding..."

but……

After a while... Heiwei Tielang who walked into the living room didn't know what he said to Grinding.

The mother noticed that the good mood that was originally overflowing on her son's face suddenly disappeared.

It seemed that a low air pressure suddenly enveloped the boy's head, and in an instant, the mother's heart also tightened.

"……What's wrong?"

"Mom, I'm going to Miyagi."

Eh? ? ?

what's the situation? ? ?

Even Dad poked his head out of the dining room in surprise, and saw Momo turn around blankly, ready to go to the second floor.

"Wait, grind."

Mom stepped forward to stop him in time, her eyes sank, and she asked seriously, "Can you tell mom what happened?"

"..." The boy was slightly startled, and stopped, "Yu Wei is sick, I have to go see her now."

Yumi?

"Grinding, the Yu Wei you're talking about is..."

It was the first time Mom saw such grinding.

Although this child is not lively or cheerful, he never complains to them.

This child who always lives in his own world and rarely opens his heart to others.

At this moment... incomparably intense emotions were gathering in his eyes, melting into the air.

"Mother."

His eyes were determined and his tone was solemn.

——"Yu Wei is the person I have identified, who I want to spend my whole life with."

To Be Continued

The author has something to say: This chapter has three themes: Yuwei's inner loneliness, Yueyue's psychological changes, and her determination to grind.

In fact, the determination to grind has been expressed a long time ago...but this is the first time I said it in front of my family (Old Hei was also frightened

It would be great if it could be communicated.
