[SD] Go to college, Shou Mitsui!

Why don't you get it together? "

The juniors from the basketball club also chimed in: "That's right, we're here to help too. I can help in my mother's shop at night!"

"Me too, Dad promised me that if I get good grades this semester, I will give me a pocket money!"

"And me and me!"

"I can help too, Sakuragi-kun," Haruko said, "I saved about [-] yuan from working part-time last summer!"

"How dare I use Ms. Haruko's money... I'm really... thank you so much!"

With everyone's enthusiastic donations, Sakuragi can only be grateful.

"I," Rukawa twirled the basketball with his fingertips, and suddenly said, "It's not a problem to squeeze out [-]."

Regarding Rukawa, Sakuragi looked suspicious: "Liar, are you so nice?!"

"Don't forget it, I don't bother to care about you."

"..."

In a trance, it seems to have returned to the time two years ago.

They made jokes and quarreled with each other, and the high school life in Xiangbei was performed in this gymnasium every day with different splendors.

Even if things are right and wrong.

It would be nice if Miyagi and Akagi were also there.

In order to pursue Caizi, Miyagi desperately entered Waseda University with her.

Akagi had a meeting with Mitsui when he came back from the holidays. While complaining about the difficulty of studying at Tokyo University, he couldn't help but miss the days when he could play freely in high school.

We are scattered all over the country, but we still have a friendship with Xiangbei.

Mitsui also visited coach Anzai, but they hardly talked much.It seems that with graduation, all that can be said has been said.

"I'm not your coach anymore. There's not much I can teach you." Coach Anxi said kindly

"Mitsui-kun, I'm old," the white-haired old man sighed, "Not everyone can play basketball all their lives...I just hope that you children can find a way out that suits you."

They've all found their way out, and each is doing well, at least in Mitsui's opinion.

The winter in northern Hunan is no different from other places. Only after leaving the school gate did Mitsui truly feel that this place no longer belonged to him.

He breathed into his palm and turned to the right.

Just then, a voice behind him stopped him.

"Hey, mistress!" Sakuragi ran from a distance, "Your letter!"

"letter?"

Suddenly, something that I had deliberately forgotten came back to my mind.

My heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, your letter," Sakuragi handed the paper to Mitsui, "Why are you so careless, didn't you come to Xiangbei just to get the letter?"

——No, I just want to come back and have a look...

"I received this letter last month. You haven't come, I almost forgot..."

——Impossible, it is impossible that there will be a letter in the mail...

"Letter..." Mitsui stared blankly at the pink envelope, which read: Sender, Mizumi Kana.

"What's wrong with you, mistress... Hey..." Sakuragi's voice got farther and farther away.

Kana...

——Kana is dead.

The raindrops hit the umbrella vigorously, and Mitsui walked in the torrential rain holding the umbrella.

That day, he met Kana's father at the hospital.This hospital, which is not far away, is passed by every day when Kana is sent home.

The middle-aged doctor wearing glasses politely led him to his office.

"Kanai died," he said, "on December 25th, two years ago."

It's Christmas...

"Then let it go... well, forget it, there are some things you probably won't believe." Dr. Asano hesitated to speak.

"Those letters were written in advance by her."

"She knew she would..."

"Yes, she already knew..." The doctor rubbed his hands awkwardly, "I'm actually not her father."

The doctor pinned "Asano" on the name tag on his chest.

Dr. Asano said: "Yes... 12 years ago, one day, an abandoned baby appeared at the gate of the hospital... Yes, Kana has no parents, she was thrown at the gate of the hospital, because maybe her parents also knew that this child Not long to live..."

Kana actually lives in the hospital, she has no home.

"Kanai's disease is very special, it is a family hereditary disease. After testing, we learned that the males in this family may be healthy, but they have invisible genetic defects; so once they give birth to a daughter, they will fully inherit this disease. Such a defect, she will die very early. Kana is a girl, and we all thought at the time that she would not live long."

Kana often said: "I want to grow a little dick and become a boy!"

Mitsui thought of the practice match with Lingnan, Kana cried and said that he wished he was a boy...

She knows everything.Indeed, it would have been nice if she had been a boy.

"This disease is very slow, and we still can't understand its origin. Kana is indeed growing up, but as she grows up, her internal organs are weakening day by day. In order to avoid excessive stimulation, she cannot do strenuous exercise. , and can't eat irritating food...Maybe, this approach has worked, Kana, she actually passed her tenth birthday."

"But even she knew that she would die soon. Because on the second day after her birthday, the test showed that her blood also started to have problems. If it continues, she may not live for two years. I think, instead of letting her live a dull 12 years, it's better to let her go to school and have fun with her peers..."

"Kanai is very smart, and her intelligence is absolutely no problem in high school. The principal of Shonhoku is the uncle of my wife, and it is very close to the hospital, so it is easy to take care of her in case of illness..."

"Then she met you," Dr. Asano said, "Kana has been locked up in the hospital and doesn't know how to interact with others at all. You are her first friend. Thank you for taking care of her."

Mitsui shook his head: "I didn't do anything for her, but she has been giving me tutoring."

The middle-aged doctor continued: "You have exposed her to something she has never seen before. She is very happy, and besides, she likes you very much."

"Because she doesn't have parents by her side. We are all doctors and we have to take care of other patients. It's impossible to care about her in everything. Kanai probably likes you like a father or brother..."

"She originally hoped to finish high school and then go to college, but one day she told me that she knew that even if she went to college, she would not be able to graduate, so she might as well put all her dreams on others."

"She devotes all her energy to tutoring you, and hopes that you can go to college on her behalf. This is her hope."

"Those letters, she wrote twenty, and asked me to send one every month. She said, after sending these letters, you will probably forget her... She wants you to think that she is still alive, because to It seems easier to forget a living friend..."

Mitsui heard Dr. Asano ramble a lot that day.

A few days later, he asked De Nan to come out for a drink and mentioned this incident.

During the dinner, De Nan couldn't help but said: "Xiao San, I heard something... from a wife who came to repair the car."

"what?"

"The dean of that hospital is also surnamed Asano. That Dr. Asano entered the dean's house as a married man, and even changed his surname after he entered the family. Before he entered the hospital, his surname was Mizumi."

Mitsui was taken aback: "Really..."

"The family has a healthy son."

"Is that so..."

"This kind of parent is really unqualified!"

Mitsui didn't know what kind of mentality Dr. Asano had when he said "I'm not her father".

He might be guilty, let's hope so.

Mitsui's mind was in a mess.

On the way back from Xiangbei to the university, he repeatedly thought about many things in the past.

Kanai said that he had helped her drive away the little gangsters, but he couldn't think of it until now.

Kana gave so many concise review materials, which really came in handy during his college entrance examination.

Kana's emotions should not fluctuate too much, but he is still desperately cheering him on the basketball court.

Kana's health is not good, I thought it was just that...

I have encountered such a sickly little sister in my life, like weeds growing tenaciously from the concrete floor, adding a touch of green to the pale ground.

Mitsui didn't dare to open that letter after he left for a long time.The intact envelope, once opened, won't it be torn...

Throat is very uncomfortable, as if something is choked, and I can't cough.

My head hurts...

Unknowingly, I came to a strange place.

The rain is getting lighter.

This is not a station, but an open-air basketball court. The basketballs scattered in the rain are not picked up.

In the middle of the orange basketball, there is a lump of black stuff.

Mitsui rubbed his eyes, and then he saw clearly that it was a very small child, about six or seven years old, with long curly black hair, and his facial features should be European.

The child was holding the basketball, staring at the basket in a daze while soaking in the rain, thinking about something.

It looks like a black hairball from a distance.

"Hey, you're going to catch a cold, go home quickly."

Mitsui's umbrella reached over the kid's head.

I have to say, seeing this kind of kid who doesn't take his body seriously, Mitsui couldn't help but meddle in his own business.

"No, because I'm too young to ride alone," the boy replied.

"Then let me take the car with you. Where do you live?"

"Rice Flower Market." The child said lightly.

The rice flower market is located in Tokyo, thousands of miles away from Kanagawa.

"This is too far away! Why did your guardian let you come here alone..."

"Not alone, I came with an uncle I know."

"Then what about that uncle?!"
