[Net King] Take away my heart

"You are the one who was involved in the car accident between the underage girl and the lawyer... Akiyama, right?"

I never expected to be recognized by complete strangers in a foreign land.

It was the weekend, and Chiya and I, who had obtained permission to go out from the hospital, went shopping in the Japanese community near the hospital.It is rare to come to a place with a sense of hometown, and Chi and I are very happy.Chi also prepared a big shopping bag, saying that he would buy a set of props for making sushi to go back.

"Sushi? Do you make it yourself?"

"Yup!"

"Can you do...?"

"I can't learn it... What kind of doubtful eyes do you have!"

It's just that I can't imagine Akaya cooking food.Chi also said that if he stays here for a long time, he will miss the cuisine of his hometown very much. Although he can also eat the taste made by foreign chefs in expensive Japanese restaurants, he always feels that he is not in harmony with that kind of restaurant.

"Just look down on me, wait until I make it...cut!"

In a fit of anger, he ran to the other side to find props for making sushi.

As a result, I could only stay where I was and look around aimlessly, wondering what to buy?Ah, by the way, I want to buy books. I've been reading books recently, all in English.It would be great if I could have some Japanese books to refresh me, just thinking about it, just when I was going to look for a bookstore——

A man stopped me in Japanese.

Because it is in a Japanese community, it is not surprising that there are people who speak Japanese.The person who stopped me was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. I think he was already very sure when he stopped me—that’s why he spoke directly in Japanese instead of English.

"Sure enough, you are right." The man observed me and approached me, "So you hid in the United States?"

I don't know how to react.Qiushan Jiayin is indeed my name, but the words "event" and "hiding" in the man's mouth make me feel very strange.

"Don't be afraid, I'm a reporter." He said, "Although it has been many years, the reports I read are still fresh in my memory... Are you a classmate of the lawyer's son? Because you agreed to communicate with the lawyer Got into his car, only to be discovered by his son... The son thinks you have ruined his family, not only did not help you who were dying at the scene of the car accident, but also tried to kill you there..."

There was a chill down my spine, and I suddenly wanted to run away.But the man who claimed to be a reporter stared at me closely, and I was afraid that as long as I moved, he would chase after me.

"What a wonderful event with ups and downs. It's a pity that I couldn't interview you in China back then. I didn't expect to meet me here... Are you traveling alone?"

All I could do was shake my head, keep shaking my head, and start backing away at the same time.But when the man saw this, he pushed forward even further, and only then did I see the strange interest in his eyes.

——"What are you doing!"

Just when I was cornered, Chi also came back.As soon as he saw me and that strange man, he dropped his shopping bag and rushed towards us almost without thinking.

I feel helpless, especially the helplessness of being alone overseas, in a strange environment, and being harassed by people I don't know at all.So when Chi Ye rushed over to protect me and blocked me with my body, I also subconsciously hid behind him and held onto his sleeve tightly.

"What do you want from her?" Chi Ye stared at the man ferociously, "Go away if you have nothing to do!"

"Oh...don't be nervous, don't be nervous..." The man looked at us and smiled, "Are you Japanese too? Me too, everyone is Japanese, so it's okay to have a rare chat. You belong to this lady." Friend? Do you know who she is, the famous Lihai Dayuan|Gum murder case four years ago..."

"Shut up!" Chi Ye yelled, "Go away, bastard!"

I shuddered, not only because of Chiya's roar, but also because of the words that came out of that man's mouth.

Li Haida... Aid | Glue... Kill... These horrible words make me shudder, I can't seem to remember the pictures related to them, but I always feel as if I have heard of them somewhere.

One of Chiya's hands covered my hand holding his sleeve.He held my hand as if telling me not to be afraid.

"If you dare to say one more word, I will call the police." Chi Ye's eyes turned blood red, "Or I will beat you here until you don't even know the way back. Choose yourself!"

The man panicked.I think he wasn't scared because of what Chiya said, but because he saw Chiya's eyes, he was so frightened that he turned around and left immediately without daring to say a word.

"Red also..."

I didn't let go of my grip on his sleeve.

Chi also turned around slowly and looked at me with his still bright red eyes.

"Are you okay...?" Although his eyes were red like blood, Chiya still gave me a gentle gaze, "Did that bastard do anything to you? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone Those who run away here by themselves are all to blame... I should have stayed by your side...!"

He squeezed my hand so hard that it almost hurt me.

"It's okay, he didn't do anything..." Through those hands, I could feel Chiya's slightly trembling body, "Chiya, thank you..."

I knew Chi was angry too, his eyes only turned red when he was very angry and emotional.During the time I have been in the United States, I have not seen his eyes turn red.

At this moment, Chi Ye, who has committed an old problem because of me, makes me feel very sad.

"It's okay, really... just said a few words..." I looked at Chiya and said, "Chiye, your eyes..."

"...!!... Sorry! Did it scare you?"

As if realizing it just now, Chi also let go of his hand suddenly, and jumped away from my eyes.

"I, I get excited...!" He said in a panic, "It's been a long time since I saw that guy bullying you...! Sorry, it's scary...?"

"No……"

How can it be terrible.

Chi is not scary at all.

"Chi also protects me, I am very happy." I tried to relax and put on a smile, "Fortunately, Chi is here."

He was silent for a moment.

"Senior...!" Suddenly, Chi Ye came over and hugged me.

"I will take good care of senior... I will definitely... never leave you again..."

If it was in the past, such a hug in public would probably have attracted a lot of criticism.But maybe because this is not Japan but America, maybe because we are far away from home, maybe because we are no longer bound by the past, it just seems to happen naturally.

"Akaya... are you calling senior again...?"

This time he didn't answer me.

I still felt a little embarrassed, so I just closed my eyes.But I know that Chi Ye's behavior has always been heartless, and I know how much he wants to protect me. His voice has been conveyed to my heart through his powerful arms.

You Chi is also really great.I silently thought, if it goes on like this, it doesn’t matter even if I don’t remember those things before, as long as this is enough...

I am being protected and cherished by others, and that vacant life has been filled by another thing unconsciously.

So, I don't need to go past anymore.

In order to keep me from being too bored in the hospital, Akaya would bring me his school textbooks from time to time.

"How is it? Is it very profound? I can't understand it at all!"

When he said this, Chi Ye always had a very proud expression on his face. It is true that he is already a college student. He not only received more and better education than me, but also took care of tennis while going to college. practice, and never forget to work hard to become a professional player.

Chi is also very powerful, and much stronger than me, I think so from the bottom of my heart.

Chi also majored in literature in college. It may be difficult for outsiders to imagine that he would choose this boring and profound course when his grades were worrying in junior high school. However, Chi also said that the subject he was best at since childhood was actually Mandarin. His only subject of interest.

"Because I think this way I can get closer to you..."

The careless Chi also said that he often couldn't figure out what I was thinking. I said I wasn't thinking about anything, but he didn't want to believe it.

"You used to like to tinker with those poems, didn't you? At that time, I patronized playing tennis and didn't know anything about those things... So at least I want to work hard now. Maybe I can understand your thoughts after studying this major. ..."

I don't know why Akaya is trying so hard to understand my thoughts.

I'm not hiding anything from him or having any secrets, the most traumatic experiences of the past have been faded to almost nothing in my mind, and now I just want to get back to normal, like everyone Just live a normal life.

If I have to say that there is something Chiya doesn't know yet, it's about my plans for the future—but that's just a fleeting, unrealistic thought.

"Jiayin, do you want to stay in the United States and go to college?"

The doctors and nurses in the hospital have treated me very well.From being unfamiliar with the environment and having difficulty in communicating at the beginning, to now being able to chat freely without any obstacles, it is all thanks to their care.

One day, a nurse who took care of me suddenly mentioned this matter.Since it was something that had never occurred to me before, I hesitated and replied, No idea, maybe.

Staying in America—it seemed like a big deal to me.I came here to seek treatment, unlike those who came to study abroad, because of the aftereffects of a car accident, I failed to receive systematic education from high school to university. My English is based on the foundation of my junior high school and the communication after I came to the hospital. accumulated.I didn't have the confidence to sit with people who went through formal education all the way to college, and I was worried about my memory, which could go awry at every turn.

"Haven't you memorized this dictionary by heart?"

When I was admitted to the hospital, the nurse said that if I can memorize the dictionary from beginning to end, it means that my memory can be restored.

The dictionary has been torn apart by me, and it is full of corners I folded and notes I wrote down.Although I didn't get back the memory of the car accident in the past, I remembered a lot of new things.New language, new environment, new friends.

...maybe I could really try to stay here and go to college?

Life in the hospital has its share of monotony.Except that I can go out with Akaya on weekends, usually I can only stay in the hospital and find things to do by myself.Books are the best companions when you are alone. I have read many, many books, tirelessly and tirelessly, and spent a fulfilling life with the company of books.

These days are not in vain. While my memory is supported by drugs, it also has the hope of further recovery from these studies.

It's a pity that I didn't finish high school and enter university. I really want to make up for this regret. I also want to walk into the sunny university campus like Chiya to meet the challenges of more unknown things.

With this impractical but exciting little dream in my arms, I began to look through the textbooks brought by Akiya.

In one obscure text after another, I gradually had a visible goal.

I think that this goal cannot be told to Akaya for the time being.

"Chiya, can I visit your school?"

Chi also seemed surprised when I made this request.

"D-Of course!"

Surprised, but happy.Chi also took me to his university and said that I would be welcome anytime in the future.

"Why did you suddenly think of coming to my school?" He asked as he walked by the side of the road.

"Nothing... just want to see."

Chi also showed a puzzled expression, but I continued walking.

"I really don't understand you..."

He lowered his head and muttered sullenly.

I asked Chiya to borrow some textbooks for me. Even though there are still many things I don’t understand at this stage, I still insist on reading them.

I understand that it is definitely not easy to stay here and go to university. I will face many problems, language problems, health problems, and more importantly, the most practical money problem.

Before I am fully sure that I can overcome all this, I can only try my best to catch up with Chi Ye.I hope that one day I can walk into it again not as a visitor, but as a member of this school, as a classmate of Akaya——

Before that, I'm afraid Chi can only continue to mutter.
