The bosses cry and put down the butcher knife

On the morning of the weekend, Oda Miyuki left the house at the appointed time.

The address given by Hong Jiaodong is located in the city center, and it is a well-known general hospital.Considering the status of Flame Hero Andeva's NO.2 hero, Oda Miyuki was not surprised at all.

However, no matter how good the treatment is, the place is still a cage to guard the "patients".

After Oda Miyuki got out of the car, he looked up and saw a boy with half red and half white hair sitting on a bench beside the hospital.In this era of sexual diversity, his hair color is still very eye-catching.

I don't know if he felt the power of his gaze, or just raised his head out of habit—the frozen eyes met Oda Miyuki's, and after a moment of stupefaction, he said something.

Although there was a distance, Oda Miyuki could still tell that the other party was talking about "Oda-san".

As a 16-year-old boy who can be rehearsed in a small theater with his inner drama, but has a cold and inarticulate appearance, Hong Jiaodong greeted him after meeting him, and then walked quietly to the hospital first.

Regarding his mother's situation, after Oda Miyuki agreed to meet, he explained everything in detail.

Oda Miyuki didn't deliberately find words. Although she could feel some changes in herself after the "reunion" with Fyodor, it didn't mean that she suddenly became a familiar chatterbox.

Just like the encounter in the shopping mall a month ago, the two entered the hospital in silence, walked through the outpatient clinic in silence, and saw the young and beautiful young lady in the outpatient clinic in silence.

The young lady at the outpatient clinic obviously remembered Hong Jiaodong, and greeted him warmly: "Come and see your mother."

Hong Jiaodong nodded politely, so the young lady in the outpatient clinic shifted her gaze and landed on Oda Miyuki.

Then she froze for a moment.

Of course she remembered the appearance of Hu Leng, when the mother and son walked together and took a walk in the garden to bask in the sun, there was a sense of serenity that came from the blood, almost gentle.

And the girl standing next to Hong Jiaodong... Although there are many differences in the details of the facial features, at first glance, it looks like a girl version of Hong Leng.

Probably too surprised, the young woman after the outpatient service didn't say anything.It was just that while doing the routine registration, he subconsciously smiled at Oda Miyuki.

The girl blinked and replied with the same smile.

Hong Leng lives in a ward building not far from the outpatient building, which is strictly speaking a convalescent area, not a special ward for certain types of patients.Oda Miyuki walked in following the familiar Hong Jiaodong, and took the elevator to the fifth floor before stopping.

The moment the elevator door opened, they saw people waiting for the elevator on this floor.

Oda Miyuki: "..."

Hong Jiaodong: "..."

People outside: "..."

"Nakura... no, Orihara Rinya, why are you here?"

After a short silence caused by looking at each other, the girl's eyes widened.

Orihara Lin also stood outside the elevator door, his expression was a little surprised, but he quickly returned to his usual appearance.He shrugged slightly, and said in a natural tone: "Of course I came to the hospital. I don't have anyone to visit."

Oda Miyuki: "..."

The girl's eyes fell on his lap, and the wheelchair that was inseparable from Fang Meng disappeared.The standing posture of the young man looks normal, as if he has never been disabled, nor has he been sitting in a wheelchair solemnly pretending to be a girl.

"Some time ago, I suddenly felt that the idea of ​​not wanting to recover has become boring." Of course, Orihara Lin did not miss her gaze, "And, because 'there is no way to escape alone, and he was killed by some strange thing', this I don't want to accept this kind of result at all."

Oda Miyuki thought for a while: "If you want to imply that Dazai 'did something' to you, I will pray for you every year during the Obon Festival."

Orihara Rinya: "..."

As an excellent intelligence dealer, he certainly knew about Oda Miyuki's "personality" and changes in his personality.

But understanding is understanding. When he casually probed and got the result that met his expectations...he was still stunned for a few seconds.

It's like someone who occasionally feeds a stray animal, but never intends to adopt him.One day he suddenly discovered that the animal had found a host, but he was not at all happy for her.

In fact, nothing has changed, but in this matter, he can't find the fun of observing human beings that should exist.

So in the end he said: "Also, Xiao Shen. As the caretaker of my neighbor, I will send you a piece of information for free. If you want to protect the people around you like in the past, you'd better face your ability again as soon as possible."

After saying this vague sentence, the young man walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.

Before the elevator doors closed, Oda Miyuki and Hong Jiaodong walked out.Two seconds later, the metal gate closed from both sides.

Those dark red eyes looked at them from behind the door, and then closed into a tight line.

"Your friend?" Hong Jiaodong asked.

Oda Miyuki nodded, then shook his head not too neatly: "A liar."

So Hong Jiaodong fell into deep thought.

The little friend stopped talking, and the girl skipped this topic.Until the two walked along the corridor and reached the ward where Hong Leng lived, Hong Jiao Dong suddenly said:

"Next time I see him, do you want to punch him? Scum doesn't deserve your attention. Like your boyfriend last time, he looks better than this."

Oda Miyuki: "..."

Oda Miyuki reacted for a while before realizing what the other party said.In an instant, all the thunder came in her mind, she froze in place for half a minute, and finally said:

"He didn't lie to me, he was a neighbor. I pretended to be a girl before, but I almost regarded him as my best friend, so I was very angry."

He added: "Besides, he was admitted to the hospital at that time. Now that I think about it, it may not really be appendicitis... maybe he was beaten by someone. And no one went to see him. Seeing how miserable he is, I think it's okay. .”

This time it was Hong Jiaodong's turn to be unable to react, his mandarin-colored eyes were full of confusion.In the end, he finally showed a dazed expression, as if to say "so there is such an operation".

Oda Miyuki looked at him for a while, then turned his head nonchalantly, and knocked on the door beside him.

Bang the door of the ward.

Oda Miyuki had imagined Hong Leng's appearance, or before coming here, Hong Jiao Dong had already sent her a photo.

But when she saw the real person, she suddenly thought——

It turns out...it looks like this.

Hong Jiaodong is the youngest son in the family, and he was over 25 years old when Hong Leng gave birth to him.However, when the woman stood between the hospital bed and the aisle and looked over with a smile, she looked at most in her early thirties.

She has the same snow-white long hair as Oda Miyuki, and the same smoky gray eyes.This color also continued on Hong Jiaodong's body, occupying half of his genes.

When these three people stand together, if there is a fourth "outsider" here, they may feel sincerely——

Blood relationship is really a very strange and beautiful thing.

"May I call you Miyuki?" the woman asked cautiously.After seeing the girl nodding her head, her eyes softened even more, like a stream melting in spring.

Hong Leng looked at the girl in front of him, and didn't mention those people and things that would make people feel emotional.Oda Miyuki was a little nervous at first, but after chatting for a while, he calmed down unknowingly.

She thought, what kind of scumbag would allow such a woman to sink into such an ending?

Regarding the past story of the Hong family, Hong Jiaodong did not tell too much detail, but it was enough to make Oda Miyuki feel angry.That kind of emotion has nothing to do with kinship, and it is something that anyone who is on the average line of three views and conscience can empathize with.

And that doesn't have to be experienced.

But they didn't talk about it, they just talked about interesting things in memory, campus and daily life like a very ordinary visit to the elders.Later, when he talked about Hanyuan Haruka, he showed a mysterious smile to Oda Miyuki, and went to the drawer next to him to get something.

Oda Miyuki glanced at Hong Jiaodong, whose expression was not surprising at all.

So after ten seconds, Oda Miyuki saw a set of photo albums.

With the continuous development of electronic photography, almost only old photos from decades ago still exist for this kind of plastic case book.The book in Hong Leng's hand was brand new, and after she opened it, the photos inside were different in color tone, but the gloss was very bright.

"This photo was sent by Ah Yao and that person." Without waiting for the girl to ask questions, Hong Leng turned to the first page, pointed to the top one and said, "Sorry, I hope to find more photos Here it is, but in those years I had very little contact with Yao."

The smile on her face faded, and she looked a little dazed.But soon came back to his senses, and looked at the girl in front of him again.

Oda Miyuki lowered his head, looking at the deliberately enlarged photo.

That wasn't even a serious group photo, it was more like a popular photo sticker more than ten years ago.It's just a photo of the person's chest on the Internet, and the picture is barely the size of a palm.

Above is a young man and woman, the woman doesn't even look 20 years old.Therefore, she is very similar to Oda Miyuki, through the freeze frame blurred by time, she is like Oda Miyuki from another era.

She is Haruka.

And the man standing beside her, whose name is not known, has similar short light-colored hair.The light from the side of the photo just reflected his expression. Apart from the well-shaped outline, the clearest part of the whole photo is the pair of gentle, gray-brown eyes.

It seems similar, but also like a pure stranger.

Oda Miyuki's hand stayed on the surface of the photo for a moment, and then slowly moved away.She tentatively turned over this page, and the first one that came into view was a chubby little girl sitting in a stroller.

The girl opened a pair of ignorant eyes, staring at the direction beyond the camera.There are two hands on the frame outside the car, and a white-haired girl who looks about ten years old in a pink and white tutu skirt is trying to put one hand in.

"This is a photo of me when I was ten years old, and Ayao on it has just turned six months." Hong Leng smiled a little embarrassedly, "Look at the picture on the right, it is when Ayao was ten years old—isn't it very similar? ?Like twins."

"But Ah Yao's personality is not at all like mine, and luckily...forget it, there's nothing to assume."

Newborn babies, young girls, young girls, mature women.

Oda Miyuki flipped through those thin pages, and saw the photos that became clearer and brighter.At the same time, he saw his own face in the reflection of the plastic surface.

Newborn, ignorant, struggling, sinking, or metamorphosis.

This seems to be the past that everyone must experience and the future that must be chosen.They used to stand there, they used to walk through those places, and then turned their heads with a smile.

Oda Miyuki suddenly felt that something had entered her eyes.

……

……

"In the future...does Aunt Leng have any plans?"

The two came out of the hospital, and Oda Miyuki asked the boy beside him.In the past few years, Hong Leng's mood has stabilized long ago, but it is obvious that from the beginning to the end, she has no chance to choose her own destiny.

This is sad as a "gift".

When Oda Miyuki realized this, she suddenly understood—why her mother, whom she had never met before, chose to elope in such an aggressive way to escape from that family.

It's also a choice.At that time, the rights they had had only this level of "choice".

Hong Jiaodong was silent for a while: "After I graduate, I will pick up my mother and I will take care of her. Maybe my brothers and sisters have their own ideas, but no matter what, she shouldn't continue, or be forced to——go back To the so-called 'home'."

What a gentle thought... with a natural, juvenile determination.

"Aunt Leng's personality must be 'ice'." Miyuki Oda thought for a while, "There are still two years before you graduate, has Mr. Jiao Dong asked Aunt Leng what he would like to learn in these two years?"

For Oda Miyuki's natural change of title, Hong Jiaodong was slightly taken aback.Then he realized what she said, with a dazed expression on his face.

This expression is really worth 300 taels of silver here, Oda Miyuki sighed, imitating the tone of the old teacher and said: "Classmate Hong, Mr. Hong, Mr. Jiao Dong—you won't be the same as your father, will you?"

"No..." Hong Jiaodong said subconsciously, but after half a word popped out, he stopped in a daze.

"Buzz."

Hong Jiaodong was lost in thought, and Oda Miyuki was staring at him, so the two stopped on the side of the road unknowingly.When Oda Miyuki felt a faint vibration, it took a few seconds to realize that it was his cell phone ringing.

She took something out of her bag, opened it and took a look: it was a text message from Sakunosuke Oda.

There are no redundant words on it, only an unfamiliar address.

The girl's expression changed slightly.

This way of sending letters... was agreed upon by them, and it represented a certain meaning.

'There is a small probability of unknown danger, locate the contact'.
