102 Chapter 102

"Do you...want to leave?"

Jinpei Matsuda's gaze fell on Chihoko Hanano.

Chihoko Hanano followed Matsuda Jinpei's gaze with a sense of purpose, and saw Kenji Hagiwara lying in front of her.

Although Hagiwara Kenji's arms and legs were wrapped in gauze, he did not have any serious auxiliary equipment such as oxygen cylinders and plaster boards.

"Don't worry, he's fine, just some scratches and a slight concussion," Matsuda said.

Chihoko Hanano couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Anyway, thanks to your equipment, you saved Kenji's life."

Jinpei Matsuda stood up and bowed deeply to Chihoko Hanano with a solemn expression.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Chihoko Hanano wanted to help Jinpei Matsuda up, but her arms were not long enough and could only touch Jinpei Matsuda's curly hair.

So, an act of humility somehow turned into a pat on the head.

Matsuda Jinpei: ...

Chiriko Hanano:…

This was the scene that Rei Fūya saw when he walked in.

"Why are you here too?" Hanano Chiheko withdrew her hand angrily and asked Amuro Toru as if nothing had happened.

"You're still talking."

Matsuda Jinpei, still feeling apprehensive, said to Hanano Chihoko:

"If he hadn't contacted me to keep your story a secret when I found you, you'd probably be surrounded by reporters from all the major media outlets by now."

"I always thought Zero was mysterious, but I didn't expect you to hide things from us even more than he did."

Chihoko Hanano blinked and responded with a silly smile.

Amuro Toru coughed lightly, "Alright, Jin Ping, you know how difficult this is."

Upon hearing this, Matsuda Jinpei's gaze flickered between Amuro Toru and Hanano Chihoko for a moment. He opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. He pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth. "I'm going to get a bottle of water. You two can chat."

After Jinpei Matsuda left, the world returned to peace.

Toru Amuro handed the medical report he had been holding to Chihoko Hanano and whispered, "Many tests showed abnormalities, and many of them are complications of depression."

Hanano Chihoko took the medical record and saw the various items marked in red. She scratched her head in annoyance. "It's nothing, really. It's just... uh, work. You know, work makes people depressed."

Toru Amuro looked at Chihoko Hanano for a long time without saying anything.

Chihoko Hanano lowered her eyes, then raised them again and remained in a stalemate with Toru Amuro without blinking.

After a while, Toru Amuro finally compromised, sat down beside Hanano Chiheko's bed, and took Hanano Chiheko's hand, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Chihoko Hanano smiled and shook her head.

"Thank you." Amuro Toru looked at Hagiwara Kenji beside him, "If..."

"Hey, why do you all have to do this again?"

Hanano Chihoko pinched Toru Amuro's fingertips and said with a smile, "Kenji is also my friend. This is as it should be."

As Toru Amuro stared at Chihoko Hanano while she spoke, his lips turning sickly pale, and a sense of sourness inexplicably filled his heart.

"Hezi..."

Toru Amuro suddenly leaned down, and when he touched her, Chihoko Hanano quickly closed her eyes.

When she came back to her senses, Hanano Chiheko felt a chill on her forehead.

Hanano Chihezi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she clasped her fingers and said, "I'm fine. You're usually so busy, don't worry too much about me."

Amuro Toru freed Hanano Chihoko's hand and said, "I've tried my best to block the news. They're still on a mission over there, so they probably won't notice us in the short term."

Hanano Chiheko understood something and said, "I'll be discharged tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Amuro Toru frowned.

Seeing this, Hanano Chihezi smiled softly and said, "Silly boy, if I need it, I can go over there and apply for hospitalization myself."

At the moment, there is really no other good way.

Of course, having said that, Chihoko Hanano still felt that she could hold on a little longer.

The next day, when Chihoko Hanano returned to the laboratory to work as if nothing had happened, everyone was talking about the violent explosion that had happened yesterday.

"Hey, Kazuko, you know..." When Hanano Chiheko approached, Igawa Nako took a closer look and froze in her tracks, "You..."

Miyano Shiho, who was standing next to Igawa Nako, also looked over when she heard this.

"Are you sure you went home to rest yesterday?" Miyano Shiho asked with a serious expression.

"certainly!"

Hanano Chiheko said with a guilty conscience, "But there are always surprises. I found a very difficult game tonight, so I stayed up all night."

Igawa Nako was immediately led astray by Hanano Chiheko, "What kind of game is so addictive?"

Hanano Chihoko's eyes immediately lit up with a blazing fire, "Angry Birds!"

Igawa Nako:......

Miyano Shiho: ...

Fortunately, she managed to fool him. This was what Hanano Chiho thought until that night when Miyano Shiho came to her door.

“I really was playing games.”

Chihoko Hanano leaned against the door frame with her hands, an expression that said, "If we're sisters, trust me."

Miyano Shiho did not refute, but just stretched out her hand.

Hanano Chihoko didn't understand what Miyano Shiho meant, "What?"

"If you play on your phone, there should be a game record."

Miyano Shiho said slowly.

"Record..."

Hanano Chiheko smiled apologetically and said, "I deleted it."

Miyano Shiho continued: "Give it to me, I can recover."

Hanano Chihoko's face turned pale, and then she took Miyano Shiho's hand and said, "Sister, life is not so serious~"

"So what on earth did you go do?"

On the sofa in the living room, Miyano Shiho drank a sip of the water poured by Hanano Chiheko and continued.

"Ah, this..." Hanano Chiheko looked at Miyano Shiho, and remembered something she had always wanted to ask. Her eyes flashed for a moment, and she walked straight over and pulled the curtains.

Seeing this, Miyano Shiho's expression became serious, "What's going on?"

Hanano Chihoko prepared herself mentally for a moment, then sat down on the coffee table in front of Miyano Shiho. She took a deep breath and said to Miyano Shiho, "Did you know that the Miyano couple once had an adopted daughter?"

Mentioning her deceased parents, Miyano Shiho's heart tightened. "Why are you asking this?"

Hanano Chiheko was still feeling uneasy. She sat up straighter and looked at Miyano Shiho. "Hanano Chiheko, it's actually me. I'm the adopted daughter of the Miyano couple."

Hanano Chihoko's words hit Miyano Shiho like a hammer on the head, and without any warning, she was stunned. "W-what?"

"Really, you have to believe me." Hanano Chiho eagerly wanted to hold Miyano Shiho's hand, but she dodged her.

Miyano Shiho stared coldly at Hanano Chihoko, "You'd better not be kidding."

really……

As Gin's sister, this sudden "recognition" is most likely to be misunderstood as having ulterior motives.

Chiho Hanano suppressed her anxiety for the time being and recalled the habits and preferences of the Miyano couple, which made Shiho Miyano look a little better.

Chiho Hanano struck while the iron was hot and explained the part about Gin to Shiho Miyano.

After learning everything, Miyano Shiho was stunned for a long time and murmured: "So this is how they died..."

Chihoko Hanano felt very uncomfortable. Telling it again would undoubtedly relive her nightmare.

When Miyano Shiho came to her senses, she found that her eyes were wet.

After Miyano Shiho adjusted her mood for a while, she looked at Hanano Chiheko again and asked, "Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?"

"I want to get you out of here."

Hanano Chiheko swallowed and said, "Do you... want to leave?"
