78 Shocking! It’s amnesia!

◎Who extends the hand◎

I think it was left behind when I fell in the rain before.

The wound neither bled nor reached Chihoko Hanano's pain threshold, so she didn't notice it.

"This..." Hanano Chiheko quickly explained, "I just accidentally fell down a little bit, it's nothing serious."

It reminds me of Chihoko Hanano's strange state when I first met her tonight.

Matsuda Jinpei's expression was not very good. He looked at Hanano Chiheko but did not let go. "I hope nothing serious happened to you."

Seeing Matsuda Jinpei's expression was off, Hanano Chiheko quickly pulled her hand away uncomfortably and warned, "Anyway, don't tell them about this. I don't want them to worry. Oh, and by the way, keep the panda matter a secret for me, too."

This is someone I've given my all to, yet he's still full of secrets.

This is not allowed, that is not allowed.

Eight out of ten sentences were concealments or lies, and Matsuda Jinpei felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Matsuda Jinpei pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth and suddenly sneered, "You really have a lot of secrets."

During the more than half a year that Hanano Chihoko has been in the boxing gym, in order to prevent Jinpei Matsuda's sudden attacks and to defend and dodge in time, she has become very familiar with Jinpei Matsuda, to the point of being sensitive to him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chihoko Hanano took a step back defensively, but she didn't expect there was a railing behind her.

Chihoko Hanano's retreat not only failed to create any distance, but instead exposed her subconscious resistance.

With her lower back pressed against the railing, Hanano Chihoko could only steel herself and stare at Matsuda Jinpei. "It's actually okay, it's all a coincidence, don't think too much about it."

"How much do I want to?"

Jinpei Matsuda rested one hand on the protruding small pillar on the railing and supported himself with the other hand next to Chihoko Hanano.

From the outside, this move trapped Chihoko Hanano between the railing and Jinpei Matsuda.

"Once is a coincidence, twice is an accident, so what is the third time?"

Matsuda Jinpei lowered his head and looked directly into Hanano Chihoko's eyes. "Am I thinking too much about you? Or are you thinking too little about me?"

The ignorant Chihoko Hanano was reflected in Jinpei Matsuda's sky-blue eyes.

Hanano Chiheko's mind was already in a tangle, and she tried to unravel it for a long time, but it only made it worse. "Matsuda, what... are you talking about? I don't understand."

Do you really not understand?

Or... don't want to understand?

The anger that had been pent up in Jinpei Matsuda's heart suddenly dissipated.

"Xiao Zhenping, Xiao Hezi, what happened?"

Kenji Hagiwara's voice broke the stalemate between the two people at the railing.

Chihoko Hanano turned her head and saw Keimitsu Morofushi and Kenji Hagiwara waving at her.

"Oh, it's okay!"

Chihoko Hanano shouted over there.

Matsuda Jinpei pulled himself out of his emotions a little, loosened his hands that were holding Hanano Chiheko, took a step back, and no longer looked at Hanano Chiheko, "If you're alright, I'll leave first."

Then, without waiting for Chihoko Hanano's reaction, he ran towards Kenji Hagiwara and the others without looking back.

"Why!"

Chihoko Hanano always felt that Jinpei Matsuda had something else to say, but she had lost the opportunity to ask.

This feeling of being neither up nor down made Chihoko Hanano very uncomfortable.

Is this considered a breakup?

This was the first time Chihoko Hanano encountered such a difficult problem, and she didn't know what to do with Jinpei Matsuda.

At this moment, something cool suddenly touched Chihoko Hanano's cheek.

"Hiss..." Chihoko Hanano turned around and saw Furiya Rei holding a can of beer and looking at her through the railing.

"Fangya-kun?!"

Hanano Chiheko was surprised for a moment, "You didn't leave?"

"Well, I want to talk to you alone." Fūya Ling said softly.

Chat again?

Chihoko Hanano was suddenly overwhelmed.

What's going on today? Why do everyone want to talk to her?

Although Chihoko Hanano was complaining madly in her heart, she nodded timidly on the surface.

In order to prevent the tragedy that just happened to Matsuda Jinpei from happening again, Hanano Chiheko humbly suggested, "Can we find a place without railings to talk this time?"

It was obvious that Rei Furuya didn't quite understand what Chihoko Hanano meant, but he still nodded in cooperation, his expression a little unnatural for a moment.

"I know a place that's quiet and perfect for chatting, but..."

Furuya Rei reached out to Hanano Chiheko, "I need you to come to my side."

Chihoko Hanano looked at Rei Furuya's hand, then at the railing, smiled with relief, took Rei Furuya's hand, jumped up and turned over.

"Where are we going?"

In the quiet night, waves surged up.

The place where the fireworks were set off was not far from the beach, but it was at a distance so the sound of the sea could not be heard.

Unlike now, Chihoko Hanano can clearly hear the sound of the waves coming.

Ever since arriving at the beach, Chiheko Hanano has been feeling a little strange.

Furuya Rei paid attention to Hanano Chihoko's condition and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, nothing."

Chihoko Hanano forced a smile.

Jōgō Rei opened his mouth, but in the end he just tilted his head back and drank the half bottle of beer in his hand.

The two walked slowly along the beach, leaving two parallel rows of footprints.

Suddenly, Furuya Rei said to Hanano Chiheko who was standing beside him, "Kazuko, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me."

Hanano Chiheko paused, then said nonchalantly, "I'm fine."

Still not working?

I don’t know if it was the effect of alcohol, but Jiang Gu Ling’s steps became weak and he felt like a kite floating in the air, without any center of gravity or traction.

In an instant, Fūya Rei was eager to get something from Hanano Chihoko, even if it was just an illusory kite string.

Furuya Rei stopped and grabbed Hanano Chihoko's wrist, "Kazuko."

Chihoko Hanano's heart started beating faster, and she looked up at Rei Furuya.

"Can you at least...call me 'Zero' again?"

The darkness made Rei Furuya's voice a little stiff, a completely different feeling compared to his ease during the day.

Chihoko Hanano's expression changed.

In the moment of silence, Chiheko Hanano caught a glimpse of the boundless sea beside her.

In her memory, the night Gin brought her to the beach, the moonlight was as beautiful as tonight.

"Wakko."

Furuya Rei couldn't help but speak again, "I thought that as long as I worked harder, everything could be made up for."

Fūya Ling's voice was low and hoarse, and was somewhat dissipated by the waves.

Chihoko Hanano suspected that there was something wrong with her hearing. Otherwise, why could she not understand what Rei Furuya said even though she vaguely heard it?

No, that's not right. Hanano Chihoko didn't understand what Jinpei Matsuda said either.

Could it be that the fall he made, or the one when Gin knocked him down, damaged his brain?

Just when Hanano Chihoko fell into deep self-doubt, Furuya Rei already thought that Hanano Chihoko meant to refuse him, and his hand holding Hanano Chihoko tightened unconsciously.

Chihoko Hanano regained consciousness and the moment Rei Furuya said something, she quickly covered Rei Furuya's mouth.

Furuya Rei's words suddenly stopped and he looked at Hanano Chihoko with wide eyes.

If Hanano Chiheko were given a choice, she would not want to use this trick to deal with two people.

But as the saying goes, one trick is enough to save you, Hanano Chiheko has to admit that manually muting the microphone is really useful!

"Mr. Furuya, please don't say anything yet." Hanano Chihoko used the tone of coaxing a child, and her expression showed deep doubt about her own intelligence.

"I seem to have some brain problems today and am not suitable for dealing with some complicated issues. So if you have something important to say, can we talk about it another day?"

Chihoko Hanano finished her words without taking a breath, then looked at Rei Furuya anxiously for his reaction.

Fūya Rei's purple-gray eyes reflected Hanano Chiheko's anxious face, and after a moment he took away Hanano Chiheko's hand that was covering her mouth.

"So what is considered an uncomplicated problem?"

"It is recommended that addition and subtraction beyond 100 not be mentioned."

Chihoko Hanano looked very sincere and didn't mind at all the conversation between the two, which should have appeared in elementary school students' word problems.

Furiya Rei blinked and asked, "What is 84-57?"

"Hmm... uh..." Hanano Chiheko's mind was spinning rapidly, and suddenly an idea flashed, "27!"

Suddenly, Fūya Rei let out a soft laugh.

Chihoko Hanano was feeling rather smug at first, but when she saw Reiko Furuya smiling, she became a little flustered.

There's no way around it. This is the natural guilt ordinary people feel when facing a top student.

"Isn't that right? This shouldn't be the case..."

"No." Furuya Rei put his hand to his lips and stopped laughing after a long while. "I just think Kazuko is very...interesting."

Hanano Chihezi finally understood what was happening and pinched her waist, saying, "You better be praising me!"

"I'm sorry, just now... I was inconsiderate and a little impatient." Jiang Gu Ling adjusted his mentality in time, and when he spoke again, there was no trace of his previous anxiety.

Although I didn't understand what Hanano Chihoko said later, I could clearly hear the part where she was asked to call my name.

Seeing that Furuya Rei's expression had relaxed, Hanano Chihoko felt relieved for no reason.

Excluding objective variables such as brain short circuit, Chihoko Hanano could feel that she seemed to be instinctively avoiding the following words of Furuya Rei.

It was like an abyss. As long as Chiheko Hanano dared to step onto it, it would bring her eternal damnation.

So... just keep it as it is.

What's more, this current "original situation" is what Chihoko Hanano originally intended to risk her life for.

Chihoko Hanano knows how hard it is to come by.

Vodka was still waiting on the side of the road. Chihoko Hanano didn't want Rei Furuya and Vodka to meet, so she said goodbye to Rei Furuya across the street.

"Um...I'm leaving now."

Although it was not explained clearly in the end, Chihoko Hanano still looked somewhat unnatural when facing Rei Furuya.

"Yeah." Seeing that Hanano Chiheko was worried about something, Rei Furuya's ahoge hair stood up again, and he subconsciously reached out to Hanano Chiheko.

Almost in an instant, Chihoko Hanano dodged away like a frightened kitten.

The outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and before Furiya Ling had time to feel disappointed, in the blink of an eye, Hanano Chiheko pretended to be busy with something and lifted her hair, which happened to reveal the slightly red earlobe that had been hidden well.

Fūya Rei tilted his head to check the color to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

Chihoko Hanano had her head down to begin with, and at most she was just looking at the shadow cast by the street lamp on the ground. She mistakenly thought that Rei Furuya was looking closely at her, and in a moment of not noticing, her hand had already left marks in her sleeve.

"Haha, bye then!" Hanano Chiheko stiffly performed a series of exaggerated movements, turned around and ran away very fast.

Furiya Rei watched from behind as Hanano Chiheko ran away. While he was pleased with the results of the training, he remembered that Hanano Chiheko was insincere, and his smile gradually faded.

Vodka was still yawning in the car when he saw an unidentified object approaching rapidly.

Vodka quickly took out his gun, and saw the unidentified person open the car door and get in extremely quickly.

"Koheko!"

After Vodka recognized the unidentified object, he quickly retracted his gun, but couldn't help but worry: "Is there someone chasing us?"

Hanano Chihoko covered her face and curled up into a ball, "No... Oh, let's not talk about this, let's go back first."

Vodka asked around but couldn't get any information, so he had to give up, start the car, and take Chihoko Hanano to the hospital.

After Chihoko Hanano came back, she did not go directly to see Gin, but went to another ward.

On the hospital bed, Masakazu Shibata was still in a coma, but the ventilator had been removed.

Chihoko Hanano sat down beside the bed and looked at Shoichi Shibata who was still receiving an IV drip for a while.

Mrs. Aoki came forward and said, "Miss, it's time to go to bed."

Chihoko Hanano looked at the clock and found that it was already past twelve o'clock without her realizing it.

Hanano Chihoko asked Mrs. Aoki, "By the way, have you informed Shoichi's family?"

Mrs. Aoki shook her head. "We didn't find his family, we only found this."

Mrs. Aoki handed it to Chihoko Hanano. Chihoko Hanano picked up the paper and saw that there was only the address of an orphanage on it.

Hanano Chihoko glanced at Shibata Shoichi on the bed in surprise, "He's... an orphan?"

"That……"

Chihoko Hanano paused and suddenly didn't know what to say next.

With Shibata Shoichi's carefree, sunny and cheerful personality, how could it be...

As Hanano Chiheko was thinking, Shibata Masakazu's eyelids trembled rapidly and he began to mutter something incoherently.

Hanano Chihoko quickly grabbed Shibata Shoichi's arm, "Shoichi!"

Shibata Masakazu was still trapped in the nightmare and couldn't get out. His breathing became more and more rapid and heavy.

“Run!”

Shibata Masakazu suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the ceiling for a moment.

"Shoichi!" Hanano Chiheko's face lit up with joy, and she waved her hand in front of Shibata Shoichi's eyes, "Can you see me?"

Shibata Masakazu's eyes gradually focused as he stared at Hanano Chiheko. It took him a long time to react, "Kazuko...it's you. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Looking at Shibata Shoichi in front of her, Hanano Chiheko suddenly felt sour in her heart, "It's okay, we are all okay."

"But..." Shibata Masakazu fell into thought again.

"Wakko."

A familiar voice sounded, and Hanano Chiheko's eyelashes trembled and she turned her head.

Gin, dressed in black, was standing by the door, and had been watching them for an unknown amount of time.

"Brother?" Hanano Chiheko stood up. "Why are you here?"

"Come here." Gin stretched out his hand towards Hanano Chihoko.

In an instant, Chihoko Hanano actually remembered the image of Rei Furuya reaching out his hand to her.

Hanano Chiheko closed her eyes, clearing her mind of distracting thoughts, "But Zhengyi..."

Mrs. Aoki said, "He just woke up and it's not appropriate for him to take in too much information. Why don't you go back and rest first?"

Chihoko Hanano looked at Masaichi Shibata again. Shibata was still in the same daze as before, obviously still a little confused.

Hanano Chiheko really didn't want Shibata Masaichi to be provoked again, so she leaned over and said to Shibata Masaichi, "Then you should have a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow."

Masakazu Shibata looked at Chihoko Hanano and nodded.

Chihoko Hanano walked out the door, holding Gin's hand, and the door closed behind them.

Chihoko Hanano paused, turned around and looked at the closed ward door, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

The next moment, Chihoko Hanano was pulled away by Gin.

Gin will be recuperating in the hospital for the next two days, and Hanano Chihoko doesn't want to go back to the empty home, so she just stays in the hospital.

Anyway, I have to go there in two days... Hey, where should I report?

Forgot again!

Chihoko Hanano even suspected that she had amnesia.

hiss!

It can’t be Alzheimer’s!

Chihoko Hanano had previously noticed that the proportion of young people suffering from Alzheimer's disease has increased sharply in recent years.

No way! No way!

Midnight always gives unhappy people plenty of negative space. The more Hanano Chiheko thought about it, the more depressed she became. She reached out from under the quilt and knocked her head randomly.

"What are you doing?" Gin's voice suddenly sounded, scaring Hanano Chihoko.

Going to bed early and getting up early will prevent you from getting Alzheimer's disease, but writing at night will make you too excited to sleep [chin on hand]
