Nagasaki Suyo brought the plump and juicy apple in front of him, and the worry in her eyes was clearly visible. She had transformed from the big brown cat that loved to pant back into a docile and obedient kitten.
"Water, you can eat the apple yourself."
"Are you really not going to eat it? I ate a lot of apples before I could peel a nice-looking apple without the skin."
She felt a little unwilling. This was not just a simple apple, but an apple infused with Nagasaki Sushi's love. He actually didn't appreciate it. Was he going to make her angry to death?
Seeing the disappointment on her face, Nagasaki Yushin naturally reached out his hand and said, "I'll eat it. Give it to me."
"Forget it, you feel uncomfortable after eating. I'll pour you a glass of warm water."
Nagasaki Suyo restrained her willfulness and let a patient lying in bed endure her unreasonable behavior. If she told others about it, she would be drowned in scolding.
She came to the nearby water dispenser. The water dispenser in this hospital was still the old model that had not been replaced much over the years. It only had cold water and hot water, and there was no middle option of warm water.
This was not difficult for Nagasaki Suyo. She first poured half of the hot water into the paper cup, and then poured a small amount of cold water. She used her palm as a human thermometer to feel the temperature of the paper cup.
Nagasaki Yushin stared at her voluptuous figure, lost in thought for a moment. Was this still the controlling and overbearing Sushi he knew? How did she switch back to her true motherly form?
At this time, Nagasaki Suyo was unaware that her adopted son was slandering her great character. The only thing in her mind was the temperature of the water in the paper cup, which was just right and could be given to Yushin. She handed him the cup of water, which had been assimilated to her body temperature, with both hands.
"Thank you."
Nagasaki Yushin coughed lightly and said thank you, feeling a little uncomfortable with Su Shi, who had become a good wife and mother again.
Water flowed through his extremely dry mouth. It was the right choice to choose water. It felt like his throat was on fire. He couldn't just eat the apple casually. Even if it was cut into pieces, it was hard to swallow.
Nagasaki Suyo frowned. Thanking is a normal courtesy, but she keenly heard the other party's unfamiliarity. The closer they are, the stronger the sense of distance between them becomes?
She was overwhelmed by frustration and didn't know what to do. Just like the new cat she adopted, it wasn't born to be close to humans, and it took patience to gain the other person's trust. The problem was that Youxin had known her for so long, how could this happen?
Could it be that over the years, her progress in his heart has been at the level of a stranger? But the progress bar in his own heart has grown so long that it is invisible, and he is only one step away from embedding himself in the "path of a woman's heart."
In other words, the tree-lined path in the heart has long been waiting for a forbidden visitor, if external pressure allows it.
Shaking off the chaotic thoughts in her mind, she asked softly, "Are you feeling better, Youxin?"
"I'm feeling a little better. By the way, is Mu still at work? What's the date today?" he asked casually.
"She said your condition is quite complicated and went to see her mentor. I can't understand your medical reports, but I have a lot of money, so it should be fine. Take good care of yourself and you'll be discharged soon!"
Nagasaki Suyo told him Mu's whereabouts truthfully, but she did not express some of the worries in her heart, hoping that she was just worrying too much.
She was also aware of the story of Oedipus, who killed his father and married his mother. It was all about a sense of fate. It was originally just a simple prophecy, but in order to prevent the fulfillment of this prophecy, a series of stories happened, and in the end all the effort was spent on fulfilling the contents of this prophecy.
She didn't want Youxin to be the protagonist of this tragedy, and her worries would come true in circles. It would be better to say something nice.
The dusty original heart was wiped away and glowed brightly again. Her tenderness wrapped him up again like a vast ocean.
After going through so many simulations, she discovered that the tricks of the older generation of artists were still the most effective. The experience passed down to her by Renji Sushi was integrated at this moment, and the answer was Yasasi. Yasasi was the answer to the Japanese version. Who could resist the gentle offensive of a virtuous little woman over and over again?
Gentleness is a soft knife, but it is much more useful than a hard knife.
A hard knife represents the desire for control and possessiveness. It is dominance that is not popular and men are afraid of it. If you are not careful, your head will fall to the ground and blood will splatter.
The soft knife is different. It is the knife hanging over the head of the dice. With one cut, it can tear the bones and soul, and can even squeeze out the spinal cord of a hero.
Nagasaki Yushin sighed and said, "Is that so? I understand. Thank you for your concern. I never thought that I would cause you trouble one day."
"No trouble, what trouble is there? If one person always wants to bear it alone, then what is the meaning of family? Sometimes you can trust us more."
"No, I don't mean to distrust you."
His hand was held tightly, and his adoptive mother's eyes gleamed with doting love, a familiar yet strange sight. Has the Yamato Nadeshiko's Nagasaki Suyo returned for a limited time? With high stats and powerful mechanics, even the hardest-hearted would be softened by her inner warmth, or perhaps even hardened.
"It seems like it's been a long time since we sat down and had a good chat like this. Well, I was too busy when you were little, and I was too arrogant when you grew up. I never had this opportunity. I'm sorry."
Nagasaki Suyo stared at his pale face, and her heartache and guilt erupted like magma from an active volcano, burning her cold and hard skin and removing the disguise she had developed over a long period of business.
The identities of the patient and the family member were swapped, as if the one who was sick was not Nagasaki Yushin, but Nagasaki Suyo. She rarely showed her weak side and confessed her past mistakes.
Nagasaki Yushin wondered what was going on. What had he been doing before? Chatting with you every day was like the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union, fighting till the end. A stone can be warmed up when put into the arms, but he had been warming up the stone for so many years, only to find out that it was not a stone, but a hedgehog, which would sting you a few times even if it was warmed up.
However, the other party has begun to repent, and he doesn't want to interrupt. If it is a game, it would be the stage where the villain boss is reciting words, stacking buffs and raising flags. The righteous protagonist must not act rashly. He must let the villain explain his glorious and lofty ideals and various difficulties, and then he can kill the villain with one blow and make him kneel down and cry bitterly.
"Mother is so busy, it's normal for her to not have time. As for being rude, it's probably just another way of expressing love. It's a bit radical, but I can surprisingly sense the good intentions behind it."
He picked up the conversation very promptly. He was not afraid of you reflecting on yourself, but he was afraid that you would not continue to reflect on yourself. Who would make up for the lack of guilt for him?
You have to forgive her and take the initiative to find excuses for her and help her save face. In this way, Nagasaki Suyo will definitely think, "Wow, why am I so bad?" The adopted son not only did not scold her or get angry, but also spoke for her kindly. A patient is comforting a healthy person, and she must be given enough guilt education.
"No!" Nagasaki Suyo turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye.
"I'm always throwing tantrums and throwing tantrums. I don't have any good intentions. I'm just an unqualified and incompetent mother. You're always taking care of me, even though it's me who should be taking care of you!"
She bit the apple to hide her awkwardness.
There was no one else here. They were the only two chatting in the entire ward. Their figures connected with the mottled shadows of the trees outside the window looked like a monster with bared fangs and claws. The relationship between mother and son had never been so harmonious, at least on the surface.
"And if you really think I have good intentions, then you wouldn't have rejected me when I advised you not to study medicine and not go on an overseas assignment. You simply didn't take my words seriously. Isn't it better to live a comfortable life without worries?"
Nagasaki Suyo also figured out that something was wrong. What he said sounded better than what he sang, with one sweet talk after another, but his actions were completely the opposite. Wasn't he mocking himself?
"Why am I going to your unknown university instead of the University of Tokyo? Just so I can take time off to go home and take care of you when I don't have classes at school? Do we have to be tied together to live together?"
"I wouldn't have met Mu if I hadn't gone to Todai. So, can you give me the youthful campus romance I'm missing? Todai has so many benefits, how can you deny them all with just one overseas assignment?"
Nagasaki Suyo was choked by his string of words, then suddenly an idea flashed through her mind and she blurted out, "I have a lot of college student uniforms in my closet too!"
After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth, realizing that she had said something out of turn. She turned her head and saw Nagasaki Yushin looking at her with extremely strange eyes, which made her want to find a crack to crawl into and not want to see anyone anymore!
"Just kidding, haha. Youxin wouldn't have missed it, right? It's cosplay. With your mom's figure, wouldn't it be easy for her to cosplay a college student?"
She patted the short skirt above her knees, and the two slender and smooth long legs under the skirt were very dazzling. It was completely impossible to tell that she was a woman of this age. The years had only left charm but no traces on this woman, and she had an enviable baby face.
Nagasaki Yushin complained in his heart that you'd better be joking, otherwise this guy with strange tendencies would have been arrested earlier. Genji's adoptive mother was just a mortal who was not born under modern laws.
"It would be weird if you took it seriously. I should say this joke is weird from the beginning to the end. Let's skip this topic. It's boring." He tactfully omitted this part.
"Don't you need to check on the company lately? It doesn't seem very reliable to leave everything to someone else."
The new question he raised made Nagasaki Suyo's eyebrows droop suddenly. She sighed, and the bitterness and sadness of the first half of her life were condensed in this sigh.
In the early days, she relied on her talent, and the entire business market was a huge Monopoly game to her. When the money exceeded a threshold, money actually lost its meaning in her eyes. Human needs are limited. She can only eat three hamburgers a day. Even if she has money for 300 or 3000 hamburgers, she cannot enjoy the happiness of so many hamburgers.
The fluctuations in the bank card numbers were not as thrilling as her weight, which affected her image in front of her adopted son and could also be used as bragging capital in front of Xiangzi.
Every time her weight came out, Xiangzi would analyze it over and over again, and when she found that all the weight was concentrated where it should be, she always looked like she had lost all hope in life. A peak is a peak, and there is a hopeless gap between it and ordinary peaks, like a chasm.
"You've already had an accident. That little business is just that, it doesn't make any difference whether it exists or not. I've put so much effort into running it for so long, but when I heard you fainted, my head suddenly buzzed, and I realized that I've wasted half my life."
"Every day you're by my side, conversion rate, closing rate, all those indicators are meaningless."
Nagasaki Suyo paused and continued, "It's when life becomes unbearable that I realize many things don't matter anymore. I even regret not knocking you out and sending you home. You can stay home and use my card to pay your salary. Mom's bank card is your bank card."
"Why do you suddenly want to make a lot of money?" Nagasaki Yushin asked curiously.
She curled her lips. "There's nothing to hide. It's just a clichéd story about a man who abandoned his wife and daughter, a man who thought making a lot of money would win everything, and a naive girl who was so foolish as to think money could buy smiles."
"Who is that girl?" he asked cautiously. This was a minefield and might be the truth behind this simulated world transformation.
"It's me. I was able to make a lot of money at a very young age. It was amazing, right? But this ability brought trouble to my family. The Ichinose family left. For that little bit of money, I defended my mother's family name. That's how I became the Business Queen Nagasaki Suyo."
"Honestly, that scumbag isn't even half as handsome as Yushin. Mom has such bad taste that she's attracted to him. He's such an irresponsible and selfish bastard with no morals. I don't even know how anyone can like him."
Nagasaki Suyo was slandering that social scum while staring at his face, which made him feel a little uneasy.
"If you could start over again, maybe divorce wouldn't happen." He was quite curious about the concept of God - the undivorced Su Shi.
Nagasaki Suyo's eyes widened, she stretched out her hands and made an X, saying, "Da-me, I'd rather kick him out and let Youxin be my dad. It would just be harder for you to work part-time. There's a saying in the East: the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"
"No, no, no, don't make some jokes carelessly, and that's a famous line from the popcorn movie Spider-Man..."
Nagasaki Yushin felt a little tired.
153. Here you go
The chat didn't last long, and the bad news came quickly.
When Nagasaki mother and son put aside their past conflicts and talked to each other, Mu called Nagasaki Suyo out.
The girl in front of him lowered her head deeply. The sparse bangs on her forehead could not hide the guilt on her face. She was waiting for Nagasaki Suyo's judgment like a sinner.
Mu knew very well that it was her problem. She had not taken good care of her boyfriend. If she had been tougher at the time, she would not have watched the tragedy happen. She was shackled and did not have the courage to risk her life. She was far inferior to Toyokawa Yushin.
Be it scolding or cold violence, she is mentally prepared to face the storms of the world.
Even so, she had to tell the truth as soon as possible to give Su Shi a chance to buffer and to give Su Shi time to say goodbye to Nagasaki Yushinori.
If the truth is revealed after death, the world will definitely be ruined. She firmly believes this. After all, the most painful thing is not getting out of despair, but the moment when hope is shattered by one's own hands. That is the lingering shadow. What people sigh about is not the dead end, but often the regret for the endgame that seems to have a chance.
Being able to escape from the gates of hell but not being able to do so will hollow out a person's heart. All the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness in a lifetime will be consumed by a sigh of regret. Although you may appear to be living a good life, you have actually been trapped in that period for a very long time.
It is better to just tell them directly about the inevitable death. After venting your sadness, you can say as much as you want to say and do as much as you want to do before the important person leaves.
Countless expected scenes did not appear. Mu, who was waiting to be scolded, could not help but look up to see what was going on. It was impossible that Nagasaki Suye had learned the fast and slow swords, and he could only attack her face when she looked up.
The scene that came into view was not as dark as she had thought. Nagasaki Suyo just stood there in a daze. One could get a hint from Suyo's frown and rolling eyes: Don't make a noise, she is thinking.
When Nagasaki Suyo heard that her adopted son would not live long, the first emotion that came to her mind was not collapse and pain, but an urgency that could not be expressed in words.
What's the urgency? This is self-explanatory. It's not something that should be told to outsiders. Niche things should be enjoyed in a small range. There's no need to share them to get a pair of silver bracelets for free.
She was unwilling to accept this. She had raised the cabbage for so long, and it would be destroyed if it was destroyed a few times. She didn't even get a chance to eat a hot bite of it.
Now an expert who is well-versed in the quality of cabbage told her that the white and tender cabbage she was growing was about to die. Her first thought was just two words - eat it while it's hot.
What's wrong with giving her pleasure before she dies? In the past, I took advantage of her sometimes and skirted the line, but I never dared to cross the line. Now she is dying, it will be too late if I don't do something!
The attraction that Nagasaki Yushin has for her can only be described as the limited-time discounted eggs in the mall tempting the grocery store aunt. She has long been attracted to him. If she hadn't been worried about so many people gossiping about her behind her back, Mu would never have gotten his turn. She would have long since become an outstanding Dumas in the Nagasaki family.
She often wiped and cared for her adopted son, who was raised healthy. Mu was probably a different person when she was a female college student. She had experienced all the explosive power and endurance hidden under the loose pajamas, but she was still staying in the free function area.
It's a complete waste for a petite girl like Mu to use such a large electric phantom motor in a human shape. It's a waste! I guess she'll be lying on the bed in a few seconds, groaning and saying "I'll come back next time."
She knew clearly from previous simulations that only her natural body was the most suitable choice, able to achieve a good cycle of input and output, enough to make both of them completely satisfied physically and mentally.
At that time, I was still very young and immature in every aspect, but I was able to fight against Youxin on equal terms. It felt like the strongest spear attacking the strongest shield.
Now, after years of precipitation and God-given development, if a beautiful woman in her twenties has a body as soft as butter, then she should have reached the realm of great success that can corrode bones. This evolved body can 100% defeat the monster Changjiu Youxin if he has not exercised.
But the limitation of her identity stopped her from being the final weapon of the simulated CG decisive battle. After Youxin became an adult, the feeling of being unable to use her strength became more and more obvious. He was alive and well right under her nose, not avoiding her even when taking a bath or sleeping, but she just couldn't act rashly. The wind could come in, the rain could come in, and she could only stop it.
Even just once, but really going all the way to the end? With this kind of perseverance and determination, she believes she will succeed in everything she does.
Lust knows no gender. This statement sounds outrageous, but it is actually true. Everyone has a love for beauty. When they see beautiful things, they will feel good about them and want to get them. She just made a mistake that everyone makes.
"Didn't Mom hear clearly?"
Mu asked worriedly, and Su Shi finally woke up from the depression that was beyond Mu's wildest imagination. He had fallen into it so carelessly that even the outline of the plan was almost constructed.
Nagasaki Suyo slapped her forehead, looked away guiltily, and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"Well, no, I heard it clearly, but it would be pale if I said anything now. I just wanted to do something more for Youxin before he died so that I wouldn't regret it."
"I understand. As long as I can help, you can use me as much as you want. After all, it was me who caused such a huge disaster."
Nagasaki Suyo looked at her in surprise, and held back the words she wanted to say to comfort her. She did not reject her kindness, and asked her daughter-in-law to help, which seemed to have a different meaning.
Her voice was even. "Let's talk about this later. I have to spend more time with Youxin. As for the doctor..."
"I'll take care of it." Mu took on the responsibility without hesitation.
Let Yushin and his mother spend some last time together. She has occupied Nagasaki Yushin for too long, and it is time to return her to her rightful owner, let the mother and son put aside their past grudges, talk things out, and reconcile.
Nagasaki Suyo touched her head, and under Mu's gaze, she walked into the ward with graceful steps.
"What did the doctor say?" Nagasaki Yushin was reading a comic book that the nurse had secretly brought to him.
Nagasaki Suyo fell silent. She suddenly realized that she had fallen into Mu's trap. Mu, who was so proud and ignorant just now, let her and Youxin be alone. Now she realized that she was the simple-minded little girl.
How could she tell such a cruel truth? Telling her closest relatives about his death was tantamount to a merciless torture on her own heart.
Just as she was racking her brains to figure out how to help the patient understand the fact that death was approaching, the sound of a comic book closing caught her attention.
Nagasaki Yushin sighed, put the comic book on the table, stared at her youthful and beautiful face, and spoke.
"I understand. It seems the condition isn't very optimistic. But don't worry, Mom. I will accept the outcome calmly no matter what it is."
Nagasaki Suyo stared at his indifferent expression. Based on her many years of knowing him, she judged that what he said was true. So why did he accept his own death so calmly?
"Why? Youxin, you're going to die, why are you still so optimistic? It's just you and me here. No one will blame you if you cry in your mother's arms. There's no need to be so stubborn."
She opened her arms, welcoming him to bury his head in her arms at any time. After all, there is a saying that the only places in the world where you can cry are in the toilet and in your mother's arms.
He shook his head and did not do the embarrassing thing of lying in her arms and acting coquettishly. Instead, he calmly analyzed his life this time.
