Stand by me

(43)

Because of Yamada Ryosuke's disordered work and rest, he often slept through the good time of the day, but woke up alone in the middle of the night.When he sees the bed companion looking at him with open eyes, he will get angry, "Why don't you go to bed? I will ring the bell if I need it, and I don't want to make the person who takes care of me tired because of my illness." Already." It took a long time to explain to appease him.

The day before the operation, Ryosuke Yamada slept next to him, and Yuxiang Nakajima sat on a chair, listening to the cicadas chirping on the sycamore tree in the yard, and the screens rustling under the breeze.He looked at the furry head protruding from the soft quilt, the already long bangs were scattered behind the ears, and the dim light at the head of the bed was like silky satin, wrapped in Yamada Ryosuke face.

Yuxiang Nakajima stood up and took a deep breath, like a fish out of water for a long time.Not a brief coma after being injured, but a dark sleep.At this age when you should enjoy the fruits like early autumn, you plunge into the dark night.When can we wait for the real dawn?

Yamada's body moved, subtly conveying the message of waking up.Nakajima Yuxiang quickly closed his eyes, tomorrow is an important day, he didn't want to make Yamada Ryosuke angry at such a critical moment.

"... Yuxiang?" In the darkness, Ryosuke Yamada didn't react for a moment, and he called him dully after a while.

The call seeped into the empty space of the night, Yuxiang Nakajima felt colic in his heart, and pretended to snore unnecessarily, but fortunately, Ryosuke Yamada didn't see him through.

Then he opened his eyes and was surprised to see Ryosuke Yamada curling himself up in the bed and crying softly.What Dad said came back to his mind, he knew Ryosuke Yamada was tired, tired of it all.Apart from life and death, there is no big deal.No matter how strong a person is, they are so vulnerable in the face of death.

Nakajima Yuxiang hugged him across the quilt, and the sobbing stopped. "Ryosuke, no matter what happens, I will be by your side, so you don't have to worry about anything." Yuxiang Nakajima said.Yamada Ryosuke's hand holding the quilt was in sight, making people feel cold and pale. Nakajima Yuxiang took a breath, and slowly covered his hand.

"I know. You go to sleep." The hand with slightly cold fingertips shook it back with warmth.

The operation was scheduled for the afternoon, and when it was almost lunch time, Ryosuke Yamada said that he wanted to eat vegetarian noodles. "I'll go buy it." Dad volunteered to say.Seeing his father open the door and go out, Nakajima Yuxiang let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.Dad is getting old, and he can't stand this kind of scene. He has to go to the window every 10 minutes to get some air. He looks more nervous than them. Yuxiang Nakajima is really worried that something will happen to him.

Ryosuke Yamada pulled Nakajima Yuxiang's arm in the same way, and said: "Don't feed me when uncle is here, I will eat by myself later." After hearing Nakajima Yuxiang's "um", he Looking at Yuxiang's face happily, who would have thought that this person who smiled so sweetly cried like a tearful person last night.

After buying plain noodles, Dad put the lunch box on the table, Nakajima Yuxiang pulled up a chair, and sat down beside Ryosuke Yamada's bed.Seeing him flicking the noodles in the box a few times, his fingers trembled a little, and the noodles caught in the air fell back in a flutter.

Nakajima Yuxiang glanced at his father, grabbed Ryosuke Yamada's hand, and gently pressed the chopsticks tightly in his palm.

"Let me come." Instead, it was Dad who brought the lunch box to feed him, and said, "Why doesn't Yuxiang help Liangjie?"

Seeing this scene, Nakajima Yuxiang happily smiled at Ryosuke Yamada with his hands on his cheeks.

Ryosuke Yamada blushed, raised his head in embarrassment and smiled at his father, "Thank you uncle...I slept too long during the day, and suddenly I'm not used to it."
