[Comprehensive] Escape from shame is useless

"From the results of this inspection, the situation is indeed much better than last time."

Dr. Midorima put down the examination report, and looked at the smiling Jasmine with some confusion.In just one month, the disease, which was difficult to heal by itself, has been relieved, which is a bit unexpected.

"Did something special happen?"

"It's special...does it count if you find a boyfriend?" She tilted her head half-jokingly.

Hearing this, the doctor also softened the contours of the corners of his lips, and put a smile on his cold and serious face.

"Forget it. Congratulations, Miss Kuroki."

After the last vigorous "run away from home" incident, Jasmine also offered to her parents to accept hospital treatment after returning home.Although they were very relieved, they didn't dare to ask more questions, for fear of saying something wrong and making their daughter who had stretched out her hand with great difficulty retract back into her shell.On the contrary, Jasmine also readily explained herself:

"It just dawned on me that some things don't help running away all the time."

She was afraid that Zhengjun would notice her thoughts, so she hid and evaded, trying to hide it until the end of time.Finding that he couldn't hide it anymore, he even fled to another world in a flash of enthusiasm.So what? I forced myself to the point where I had no way out, and I was forced to have a nervous breakdown, but even if I really went to the kingdom of the underworld, the pain in my heart didn't diminish in the slightest. Instead, it intensified and burned my soul out. the void.

If it wasn't for Zhengjun's recklessness, he would pull her back even if he chased Huang Quan, if it wasn't for him not letting go of her no matter what hurtful things she said, she would never have waited for the moment to fill the void.It will probably become a wandering soul, even if Miss Shiya is protecting her, she will eventually cling to her paranoia until she withers.

"Didn't my mother say that the side effects will disappear when the illness is cured? In fact, it doesn't matter if it doesn't disappear, just start again."

At first, she was indeed terrified by the side effects of the medication.But later on, what she was afraid of was no longer such a simple thing.In fact, there is nothing in this world that can hinder her from playing. As she once said, she can use her feet without hands, and can play the strings with her teeth biting the bow without feet.

What she is afraid of and worried about has always been the fact that "the piano will lose Zhengjun after the sound of the piano becomes ugly".

But now, this nightmare that has plagued him for many years, together with the mist of that day, turned into foam in the morning light.

She could finally raise her head and look at the future that she never dared to hope to exist.

"At that time, if I play the violin as bad as killing a chicken, my mother must not dislike me."

Holding her coquettish daughter in her arms, Yuelong suppressed the tears in her eyes and dragged her husband into the water.

"Okay, let Yaren accompany you to practice from the beginning. Anyway, if he is at the bottom, no one will laugh at you."

"Okay, okay, let's do it."

Heimu Yaren who was sold out of nowhere: ...

The original admission time was after Xing Zuo's school entrance examination, but for some reason, Jasmine also decided to postpone it by another day.

So I finished the second day of the exam, December 12th.

As in previous years, on this day, Akashi Seishomi booked a hotel banquet hall to celebrate the birthday of his only son Akashi Seijuro.Of course, it was said that it was a birthday party, but there were not many people who sincerely came to congratulate Seijuro on his birthday, and most of them took advantage of such a social occasion to connect with each other.If mother Shiori still had the feeling of celebrating a birthday, for Seijuro, this day is no different from an ordinary reception.

Even if the stars are shining on the banquet hall, and all the people pushing glasses and changing glasses are political and business celebrities, when talking and laughing, you can only feel false smiles and cold interests.Here, he's always representing Akashi, not Seijuro, even if it's a banquet to celebrate his birthday.

He didn't have any complaints about this, it was just another place where his father used to exercise his social skills, and as a chaebol, Yu Caosi, this was his due awareness.This is just an ordinary drinking party, his birthday is just a reason for adults to get together, nothing more.

"Seijuro, go to the lounge."

So when his father ordered him to do so just half an hour after the banquet started, he had no idea that such a big surprise would be waiting for him after he opened the door of the lounge.

"Surprise!" Jasmine jumped out from behind the sofa because she saw him walking in suddenly.

"Hey, are you scared?"

——The cold and colorless world suddenly became lively and lively.

"Why are you here?" Akashi asked, walking over and putting his arms around her waist.

When my mother was still there, she never missed his birthday party, and occasionally dragged him to do things together, which made my father blow his beard and stare.Later, the banquet became more and more boring, and the occasion became more and more formal, so it was no fun for her to come.

"Come to celebrate your birthday." She tiptoed and kissed his cheek lightly, then tilted her head and asked, "Why, aren't you happy?"

"No." He returned her a long and delicate kiss, and after kissing Jasmine's souls, he squinted his eyes and said, "You sneaked out of the hospital on the first day you were admitted?"

"Not at all." She clung to him in an excuse, "I told the doctor that I'll be hospitalized tomorrow. Oh, anyway, it's only a day away, so it won't matter."

"Didn't we agree?"

December is indeed a special month for them.Today, the 12th is Akashi's birthday, and in a few days, the 20th will be Christmas and Jasmine's birthday.In this way, the new year is coming soon, followed by a series of holidays.

Because she was reluctant to part with this series of holidays and activities, Jasmine also wanted to push the admission time to mid-January at first.But I couldn't hold back everyone's desire to make her recover sooner, so I finally decided on the 1th.But today, she suddenly told him that she had pushed it off for another day.

"I don't care. Zhengjun's birthday only comes once a year. I can't let you go. Mom, Dad and Uncle Zhengchen agreed. We are 4 to 1. You alone object to it!"

"..." It's not an illusion, I always feel that she has become a lot more "bold" after returning from Huangquan.

"So, Zhengjun, happy birthday~" Jasmine, who had been complacent for just two seconds, suddenly became coy again, "Then, about the birthday gift... Well, it's not convenient here..."

Would it be inconvenient here?that would be—

Seeing that Jasmine also shyly twisted her hair around, and peeked at him shyly, Akashi's thoughts about what he should have and what he shouldn't have filled his mind in a mess.

So it was only when Jasmine dragged him into the car that he suddenly realized that he had just escaped from the birthday party his father had hosted for him.

The feeling of releasing so many pigeons in one breath is really sour, but he ran away, and he couldn't escape his father's reprimand if he went back, and Jasmine was also punished for nothing.It's better to make a mistake and make a mistake. When she is admitted to the hospital tomorrow, her father will not be able to scold her if she wants to.

Because he never regarded Zheng Chen as a father who loved his son, until the car stopped at his door, he never considered the possibility that his father was actually Jasmine's accomplice.

It's the same even if Zhengchen finds an excuse for him to meet Jasmine.

After entering the house, Jasmine also mysteriously pushed his back into the dark dining room.The moment the lights came on, the salute also crackled.

"Happy birthday, Akashi/Akashi-kun/Little Akashi/Akashi!"

A few guys with colorful hair were standing beside the familiar long table.

"Shintaro, Ryota, Atsushi, Daiki, Tetsuya, Momoi, my wife... are you all here?"

To be honest, he was a little surprised.

"That's right, Little Jasmine also said that she would hold a birthday party for you little Akashi, so we all came." Huang Lai hurriedly said.

"There are delicious ones!" Ziyuan added.

"That's right." Momoi agreed with a smile.

But other people are not so easy to get along with——

"I heard that you don't have any friends to accompany you on your birthday every year? It's so pitiful~" Qingfeng spread his hands in a daze.

"I just came here just because tonight's original arrangement was canceled unexpectedly." Midorima pushed his glasses.

"I came here purely because I was worried about Kuroki's physical condition." Heizi emphasized the sentence very seriously.

Yuno looked around and smiled, "I said that I really want to celebrate your birthday, do you believe me?"

"Really, can't you be more frank now that you're all here?!" Jasmine also stomped her feet angrily. This group of arrogant and arrogant people is hopeless!

"Ah, I know."

Hearing the nonsense of these guys, Akashi showed a knowing smile instead.

This familiar feeling of tension is right. They are not the kind of teammate who cherishes each other now, but a relationship where they are about to become opponents and their beliefs collide with each other in the arena next year.But no matter what, at least they are friends who have been together day and night for two years, and their superficial rhetoric and inner truth can already be translated into the correct answer in his mind.

"But thank you for accepting Jasmine's invitation."

As everyone present knows well, although everyone is stubborn and unwilling to admit it, they really came to celebrate Akashi's birthday from the bottom of their hearts, otherwise they would have refused when Jasmine mentioned this to them last week up.

The disagreement of ideas on the basketball court did not affect the friendship between them.Off the court, they remain close friends.Maybe they didn't know how to get along with each other at the beginning, but on this special occasion, no one deliberately brought up the scar that lay between them, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, as if returning to the original appearance.

It doesn't matter if it's only temporary, seeing everyone laughing and laughing like before is the best hospital admission gift for Jasmine.Seeing Wuyue crazily complaining about Mr. Qingfeng, the smile on the corner of her mouth is even brighter than last time, presumably she thought so too.

The problems between them can only be solved by themselves, but there is something she can do.

When she first decided to hold a birthday party, Jasmine was also very apprehensive.Every year on this day, Zhengjun's schedule is fixed. Everyone has to go to class during the day, and there is a banquet at night. She can't find any free time to insert it.If it was her before, she might have been stuck since this step.

【You are too careful about everyone around you, Jasmine too, that's why you developed the habit of ignoring yourself. 】

[Appropriate willfulness is one of the ways to gain a sense of security, Miss Kuroki, you don't have to be so cautious. 】

Both Miss Shimi and Dr. Midorima once said that she can act like a baby, but she should be willful.

So this time, with the mental preparation of being scolded by Uncle Zhengchen, she mustered up the courage to mention this plan to him.

"I want to find some friends to hold a private birthday party for Zheng Jun, so can I cancel the birthday party?"

"No." The serious middle-aged man refused the proposal without even raising his head. "The invitations have been distributed a week ago, and it is impossible to cancel them."

The dull hair on Jasmine's head also drooped.Ah, sure enough, no matter how you put it, this kind of request is too overwhelming...

Before she could open her mouth to apologize, Zhengchen casually flipped through the pages of the book and added a sentence: "However, during the banquet, people feel unwell and leave early, it happens from time to time, and it happens suddenly, even I can't predict it before it happens. .”

kindness?What do you mean by that?

After three turns in her mind, Jasmine also realized that this older and arrogant person who was never willing to show any sign of caring in front of Zhengjun, actually agreed to her request so simply, and even helped her make up for the specific implementation plan. When it was over, I was moved and admired immediately.

"Thank you Uncle Zhengchen! You are the best!"

After solving the biggest problem of this event, Jasmine also became worried about the other members of the basketball team.

Yuno's side was not that difficult, after all, although she said she disliked Zheng Jun, she actually maintained a very close relationship of trust with him.Otherwise, if you are bullied by her every day, why hasn't Zheng Jun completely blocked Yuno?And Yuno clamored every day to kill Zhengjun, didn't he still live well?The relationship between them is better than anyone thought.

Of course, neither of them would admit it.

As for Zhengjun's teammates - the problem is a bit bigger.

According to the description of her classmate May, an insider spy, they are almost in the cold war period. It's okay not to see each other every day. When they meet, even ordinary chats can feel the oppressive atmosphere that is about to come.

Under such circumstances, knowing that Jasmine would also hold Akashi's birthday party, Wu Yue said that it might turn into a world war.

But to their surprise, everyone agreed—after finding a lot of reasons—including Heizi, who thought she would definitely not be present.After knowing this, Wu Yue cried again on the phone, this time happily.

Anyway, it's great that everyone can be happy with this birthday present.

"They wouldn't have come if you hadn't come forward."

After everyone had had enough trouble and ended this rare birthday party, Akashi suddenly said this on the way to send her home.

"Why?" Jasmine couldn't react.

"The last time you went to Diguang suddenly, they were very worried about you. It was just that the situation was complicated at that time, and I did not agree to their visit request." Just phone calls and emails are not enough for worried people.What's more, her appearance at that time was too abnormal, and no one could feel at ease when she didn't see her.

"Did Tetsu say that from the beginning? I came because I was worried about your health."

"That's not it!" She didn't like Zheng Jun's cold face when he mentioned the matter of friends, and felt that there was really no relationship between them.She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned on his shoulders, emphatically repeating: "Everyone is here to celebrate Zheng Jun's birthday! Maybe there are some elements of worry about me, but I am definitely really happy for you!"

"You said yes."

Feeling his perfunctory, Jasmine raised her head unconvinced.

"Everyone is holding a birthday party for you, aren't you happy?"

Akashi dawdled at her puffed cheeks again, and said, "Of course I'm happy with the gift you took so much trouble to prepare for me."

Not realizing that there was anything wrong with his answer, Jasmine also sat back on her stomach in satisfaction, and started talking about what things to bring to the hospital to relieve boredom.

He closed his eyes and listened carefully, occasionally interjecting a few sentences. The warmth brought by the person in his arms made his thinking a little dull.

Uncontrollable emotions, a brain that was struggling, he'd always been afraid of losing himself.Now I finally understand after giving up struggling, this feeling is called peace of mind.By her side, he didn't need to erect a high wall, he didn't need to be covered in thorns, he could expose all his fragile and soft parts.So indulging in it is as sweet as it is.

The car rounded a corner, and the driver was so skilled that the big lean was barely felt.Even so, Akashi's body still tilted towards her, his head slid down against her side face affectionately, and fell into the hollow of her neck.

"Zhengjun?"

The soft breath hit the side of her neck, itching a little.Jasmine also turned her head to look at his defenseless sleeping face, unconsciously showing a soft smile.She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek: "Good night."

Before the sound came out, it dissipated in the air without a sound.

Happy birthday, Zhengjun.
