After heavy rain, I didn't change my soaked clothes in time, and I didn't take a hot bath for too long. Yoshikawa, who was tragically damaged by the wind and rain, felt a little dizzy on the way back and fell down soon after I got home.

It's right.

Drowsy, wake up and sleep.

She was taken to the hospital for examination by her parents, prescribed some medicine, and then continued to lie down after she came back. The first day of the weekend was in a daze, and it was already late at night when she woke up again.

She replied to Soya and Akane Kirino who was far away in Kanto, but she couldn't hold on for too long and soon fell asleep.

Another night passed, and Yoshikawa woke up due to some movement, and his cell phone was still in his hand.

“Um…”

She looked out the window habitually, trying to judge the time by the sky, but soon found that it wouldn't work.

"It's so dark... By the way, it's still raining..."

Press the phone to turn on, and it is past 9:30 in the morning.

There are still several unread messages.

[23:05]Xian: Put down your phone! Rest! Don’t reply to me!

[01:39]Xian: Is Hongzi still awake?

[07:58]Xian: Good morning, are you feeling a little more comfortable today?

[07:59]Xian: Have a good rest.

[07:31] Zong Gu: Good morning, how are you doing?

[07:46] Zong Gu: Is the eldest lady still awake?

[09:23] Zong Gu: I'm here to visit the disease.

“…”

Looking at the latest news, Yoshikawa, who was sleeping a little confused, was stunned for a moment before he realized.

"Visiting the disease?!"

"Hongzi--"

Suddenly, my mother's shout came from downstairs, "Are you awake? Zong Gujun came to visit her - huh?"

I don't know what happened, but the sound below stopped abruptly.

But Yoshikawa understood that Soya was already here.

She pricked her ears and listened for a while, sat up from the bed, turned her head and looked at the mirror in the closet.

“…”

Can't see clearly.

"Glasses……"

After fumbled to find the glasses, the girl inside was sweaty and had a bit haggard face. She flipped her pillow for a day and two nights, and her short hair was also messy.

“…”

Can't see anyone.

Although I still have a kind of pathological beauty at this time, or my foundation is too good, even if I am a little haggard, it will not affect my beauty...

But I still can't see anyone.

After thinking about it, Yoshikawa fell back to the bed and pulled the quilt under his eyes. Without time to wash or tidy up her face, she planned to pretend to sleep and fool her.

In the living room downstairs, Mrs. Yoshikawa looked at the petite girl who came in with Soya, and suddenly felt familiar.

This feeling seems to come from a very distant memory.

"This kid..."

Mrs. Yoshikawa looked at Soya, "Is it Soya Kun's sister?"

“…”

Sogo pursed his lower lip, "No, she is my classmate and Yoshikawa, Asakiri. She is seventeen years old this year."

"Ah, you are the classmate Chaowu that Hongzi often mentions... Are you one year older than Hongzi?"

Looking at the petite and childish girl, Mrs. Yoshikawa felt a little incredible, but the feeling she had just now still couldn't get rid of.

"Have I met Aoki somewhere?"

“…”

He looked up at Wuling and looked at her for a while, and nodded.

"Where?"

She shook her head again, "I don't remember."

Mrs. Yoshikawa felt a little regretful and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she walked to the stairs and shouted.

"Hongzi--"

Still no response.

"Madam, if Yoshikawa is still resting, there is no need to disturb her." Soya said, putting down the condolences in his hand, "Let's come again in the afternoon."

"Hongzi probably didn't hear it."

It is rare that Soya came to visit his daughter. Mrs. Yoshikawa didn't want him to go back like this, so she went straight upstairs.

"I just had a little fever. She had been sleeping for a day and a night. It's time to wake up. Sogo Jun and Chaowu came up together."

“…”

The two looked at each other, and Zong Gu raised the condolences on the table again.

"Go up."

"Um."

When Mrs. Yoshikawa disappeared at the corner of the stairs, he asked in a low voice: "Mrs. Yoshikawa said that he had seen the bell, when did it happen?"

“Twenty-six years ago.”

However, over twenty years have passed, the past is still vivid in my mind, and I remember Chaowuling clearly.

"There is heavy rain in summer and the Kamakawa is surging. Mrs. Yoshikawa, who was a college student at the time, fell into the water. My teacher and I happened to be nearby, so I asked someone to save her. I talked a few words later."

“…”

Zong Gu was stunned.

"Ling still remembers what happened so long ago."

She looked over, "Mrs. Yoshikawa's old surname is Motohashi, which is rare in Kinki. Perhaps it is a junior of my old friend, so I left a little impression."

"Yeah……"

The two of them soon came upstairs, but Zong Gu did not continue asking.

Mrs. Yoshikawa sat by the bed, touched her daughter's forehead, felt the temperature, stared at her "sleeping face" for a few more times, and turned around and said:

"You don't have to be polite, come in."

"I've been disturbed..."

"Hongzi will probably wake up soon, I'll go pour the drinks."

"You're welcome, I'll sit for a while and go back."

Mrs. Yoshikawa just smiled, looked at the familiar ones again, and turned around and went downstairs.

Watching her walk out of the room, Soya looked at Yoshikawa's boudoir.

The space is not big or small, and the furniture inside can be seen to be carefully arranged. Although there are many objects like dolls, they are not messy. There are computers on the desk, and there are two bookshelves next to them, which are stuffed with various types.

Teaching aids.

He walked to the bed, Yoshikawa fell asleep sideways, covering most of his face under the quilt, his eyes closed.

"It's already the third day, I'm still sleeping... It seems that I'm really sick."

The short hair covered the side face, the girl breathed smoothly, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"However, the message I just sent out is 'read'."

“…”

She immediately opened her eyes, flipped her body, and stretched her hands out of the quilt, and hit her weakly.

Zong Gu easily grabbed her fist, clenched it and shook it twice, and smiled at her again.

"Good morning, Miss Yoshikawa. How is your health?"

"Don't come to the girl's room casually...oh, is Ling here too..."

After going upstairs, Asakiri didn't speak. Yoshikawa saw her at this time and subconsciously squeezed his hand out first.
