The love that started when I picked up Mikey

"Don't look at it, let Sakuraba put the cake in the refrigerator first."

Outside the operating room, I patted Mikey who was sitting blankly. He looked at the cake in front of him with drooping corners of his eyes, his dark pupils were expressionless.

After arriving at the hospital, no matter what I told him, he didn't respond.

"Don't worry, Hanako will be fine."

When I said this, I was terrified. Hanako was hit hard on the head. According to the doctor on duty, the situation was not optimistic.

I really want to cry, but I have to bear it first, the murderer hasn't been caught yet, and Hanako's family hasn't arrived yet.

Mikey's mental state is very poor. I heard that his sister Emma died in this way.

I can only hug him and comfort him over and over again: "It's okay, it will be fine this time..."

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came and shouted: "Hanako! My Hanako!"

——It should be Hanako's father.

Hanako's mother died young, and she grew up in a single-parent family, so she loves her father very much.

"Uncle." I stood up and pointed to the door of the operating room with all my might, "Hanako is still being rescued."

"Hanako!" The man was so anxious that he went to knock on the door of the operating room, "Daddy is here!"

I quickly stopped him: "Uncle, calm down, don't disturb the doctors, Hanako will be fine."

"My daughter was fine when she went out, why are you resuscitating her now?" The emotionally out-of-control man grabbed my collar, his voice trembling, "Tell me, what did she do wrong!"

My mind was buzzing in a mess, and I didn't know how to comfort him, "I'm sorry..."

"What's the use of saying sorry?!"

"Let go of her."

Mikey, who was immersed in his own world, finally recovered, grabbed the man's wrist, and pulled his hand away from my collar.

"...This matter has nothing to do with Yuzubao."

His voice was very thin and calm, but there was a sense of emptiness that exhausted everything.

The grieving man roared angrily, "Who does that have to do with it?"

At this moment, the lights outside the operating room went out, and the doctor came out.

"Which one is the family member of the patient?"

The man staggered and rushed over.

"Doctor, is my daughter safe and sound?"

"Mikey..."

I held Mikey's hand, and found that his fingers were cold, his pupils were dull, and he was immersed in his own world again.

After rescue, Hanako was still not out of danger and was admitted to the ICU.

Sakuraba came to tell me that the person who injured Hanako was caught by the police.

I wanted to do it by myself, but Hanako's father and Mikey, who each pulled one of my arms, wanted to come with me.

It was a boy who hurt Hanako.

He sat in a chair with his hands in his pockets, with no repentance on his face.

Hanako's father recognized him at a glance, rushed over and beat him up: "It's you? You don't know how to learn well, why did you come to provoke my Hanako?"

The boy does not dodge or avoid, and his mental state seems to be very unstable.

"She betrayed me first!"

The two policemen at the police station immediately separated the two, and I soon learned the whole story from Sakuraba.

The boy's name is Abe, Hanako's ex-boyfriend and a delinquent boy.

Hearing the word bad boy, Mikey raised his eyes.

Sakuraba continued: "Because she couldn't stand her boyfriend's violent tendencies, Ms. Hanako proposed to break up, but she was beaten up. Fortunately, Abe only knew where Ms. Hanako was working, but where she was a student, so Ms. Hanako got Temporary safety."

After a pause, Sakuraba continued: "But Abe found Ms. Hanako tonight. After the two had a dispute, Abe--"

"That's why you can't take garbage!" Hanako's father fell to his knees on the ground with tears streaming down his face, "Hanako just won't listen, what do you say he will learn well..."

"Who told her to betray me first?" The boy Abe tilted his head, "You might as well die with me!"

"Shut up! You trash! Scum!"

The police separated them again, trying to appease Hanako's father. Sakuraba seemed to have something to say to me, but he hesitated several times.

I let go of Mikey's hand: "Mikey, I'm a little thirsty, can you help me buy a can of juice from the vending machine?"

Mikey nodded and agreed.

He walked slowly through the corridor and down the steps until he disappeared from my sight at Yiqiao.

The story of the entanglement between a bad boy and a school girl, from falling in love to killing a killer, is both infuriating and embarrassing.

I sigh deeply.

"It should be Miss Hoshino who told Abe about Miss Hanako's whereabouts." Sakuraba said again, "Abe seems to have a mental illness."

"Have a mental illness?" I frowned, "That Huazi had to ask for help as soon as she saw him, mental patients kill people—"

"Miss Fuyuzu!"

Sakuraba interrupted me suddenly, and I was still rambling about my panic about mental patients.

Seeing the panic in his eyes, my hairs stood on end.

It's broken, so Abe can stand behind me.

I turned my head slowly and saw that there was indeed someone behind me, but it wasn't Abe, but Mikey.

"Scared me to death, I thought it was that Abe. But Mikey, you bought it so soon?"

His hands were empty and he had no juice.

"...I didn't bring any money."

"Then I'll give you the money—"

He squatted down and hugged his knees, his face was very pale.

"Mikey, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Is your stomach hurting? Or do you have a fever?"

During my long list of questions, Mikey closed his eyes and leaned on my shoulder.

"...I want to go home."

He must have remembered the attack on his sister Emma that year, so he was very depressed.

"Okay, we'll go back right away." After confirming that his body temperature was normal, I temporarily handed over the matter of Hanako and Abe to Sakuraniwa, and decided to take Mikey home first.

On the way to the hospital, he drove me here on Babu, racing all the way, almost scared me to death, but now he looks like he's lost his mind, so I can only ride the bike.

"Can I really ride? I don't even understand Takamaru..." I asked again uncertainly.

Mikey didn't say anything until I started the engine and he climbed into the back seat.

As fast as he drove on the way here, I drove as slowly on the way back.

Tokyo in the early morning is not as dry and hot as the daytime. The wind blows hard from all directions, and even the residual heat from my body is wiped away. I am a little cold, and I can't help shivering.

Mikey hugged my waist even tighter, and he called me in a low voice: "...youzubao."

"I am here."

"Shouldn't be associated with bad people..."

It's over, he replaced me and him into Hanako and Abe.

"Don't think about it." I tried to convince him with an example, "Hinata and Hanagaki-kun are dating, the latter is not bad, and Apa-kun's girlfriend Yumi has liked Apa-kun since she was a child."

"Shouldn't be associated with bad people..."

Seeing that I couldn't convince him, I could only tell the truth: "Abe is mentally ill, so he is dangerous. A normal delinquent boy has poor grades, loves to be handsome, and is no different from ordinary school boys."

Besides, Abe must have been instigated by Hoshino Nami. This nasty woman, who couldn't do anything to me, actually did it to my friend. I will never let her go!

"So don't think about it, Mikey, you are just sentimental and not mentally ill..."

Mikey didn't say a word until he got back to Sano's house.

I parked the motorcycle in the shed, locked the yard door, and thought about whether to install a power grid to prevent Nami Hoshino from assassinating Mikey.

Before I could finish my plan, Mikey discovered that his African hedgehog, Momotaro, was missing.

The cage was wide open, but Momotaro was no longer inside. He searched around in the warehouse and found Tianming in the yard, but he still didn't find Momotaro.

I wanted him to rest quickly, so I said, "Momotaro will come back when he's hungry."

"I want to find it."

"You go to bed first, I will ask Sakuraba to send someone to look for it tomorrow—"

"Momotaro is gone!" Mikey became emotional, "That's something I'm raising!"

"I know you raised it..." I was so sleepy that I almost couldn't open my eyes, and I have to go to class tomorrow, "I promise you, I will find it for you—"

Plop.

Mikey jumped into the koi pond in the yard right before my eyes.

"Hey, Mikey, come up!"

The koi in the pool were disturbed by him, and he pushed aside the leaves of the lotus to look for his hedgehog.

Soon, the pool was messed up, and the two lotus flowers that finally bloomed became residual lotus.

Mikey still hasn't found Momotaro.

"Don't look for it. I'll ask someone to look for it carefully tomorrow. If I can't find it again, I'll buy you a new African hedgehog, which is exactly the same."

Mikey has only had the hedgehog for more than 20 days, and buying a new one to replace it is the best way to heal his injuries.

"I do not want!"

What does he not want?

Does he not want hedgehogs, or does he not give up looking?

Mikey's anger actually made me very calm. I squatted numbly by the pool, looking at the young man in the water. I heard my own voice, word by word, like a stone falling into the water.

"Mikey, I don't know how to get along with you. Don't punish yourself with other people's mistakes, okay?"

It was bright daylight, and we hadn't slept all night, leaving each other with dark circles under their eyes.

In the end, I dragged the wet Mikey up from the sink, and threw him directly on the bed regardless of whether he was dirty or not.

... Forget it, I'll change the sheets and quilt cover later.

"Sleep well all day and don't go anywhere. I'll ask Yingting to take me to school, and he will bring you food afterwards. If you feel bored, just watch TV, or you can ask Mr. Santu and Mr. Jiujing to play cards."

I turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, grabbed a taiyaki pillow and stuffed it into his arms. After thinking about it, I leaned over and kissed his forehead, "Dear Mikey, see you tonight."

Mikey ignored me, and the atmosphere was still tense, so I had to liven up the atmosphere.

"Dear Mikey, please wash up deliciously tonight and wait for my king to come back... I'm lucky for you."

He was finally willing to hum.

However, Mikey was destined not to wait for me this night, because my mother came back from France early and cut me off at school.
