Only Kōyū and Aoi remained in the ward, lying on the bed.
The only sound in the ward was the steady breathing.
Very quiet.
Guangyou used up a lot of energy today and is very tired.
In addition, it's already quite late.
Logically, he should have fallen asleep quickly, but he didn't.
Ai, who was lying next to him, was in the same situation.
Lying next to Kyou, Ai felt a little uncomfortable.
She's just a girl who's never been in a relationship before, so it'll probably be hard for her to adapt in a short time.
Even with her previous experience, lying next to Guangyou still made her heart pound.
The curtains in the ward were not drawn, and the starry sky outside was clearly visible through the window.
Under the bright moonlight, Ai could clearly see Kyou's profile.
Are you asleep?
Kōyū suddenly opened his eyes, startling Ai, who was secretly watching him.
Ai rolled her eyes at Hikaru and scolded, "Even when I'm asleep, you wake me up."
"hey-hey."
Guangyou chuckled twice and suddenly said, "I'm so excited that I can't sleep because I think about the girl I like next to me."
"Don't overthink it, I just..."
Before she could finish speaking, Guangyou interrupted her, his tone sounding like he was coaxing a child: "Okay, okay, you just don't want to sleep on the floor, you don't want your spine to suffer."
"Good to know."
Such obvious arrogance made Guangyou's lips curl up.
Guangyou turned his head to look at her and asked, "Since you can't sleep anyway, how about I tell you a story?"
"good."
Kōyū's suggestion was agreed upon by Ai.
She's still not at peace, so listening to stories is a good way to pass the time.
"A long, long time ago, there was a carpenter who made a puppet named Pinocchio..."
As soon as the story of Pinocchio began, Ai knew the ending, since everyone knows the story of Pinocchio.
However, she did not interrupt Guangyou, but instead pretended to listen attentively.
By chance, Pinocchio developed self-awareness and could move and talk freely.
"By accident, Pinocchio discovers that his nose grows longer when he lies..."
"In the end, Pinocchio used this skill to make a name for himself in the city's brothels."
After saying that, Kōyū looked at Ai and saw that she was still looking at him expectantly, so he said, "The story is over."
"it's over?"
Ai was stunned; she knew the story of Pinocchio.
The beginning was about right, but she was absolutely certain that the last sentence was not part of the story of Pinocchio.
Moreover, she didn't understand what the final ending meant.
The story ended in a daze.
Ai looked at Kousuke with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is the meaning of the ending of this story?"
"Ahem, it doesn't mean anything."
Guangyou didn't dare tell Xiao Ai that he had just driven a car.
"Forget it, you simply don't have that talent."
Ai couldn't help but complain, still not understanding what the ending of the story meant.
"Let's just go to sleep, it's getting late."
After saying that, Ai closed her eyes, looking like she didn't want to be bothered anymore.
Guangyou smiled slightly, reached out to pull the blanket up for her, and said softly, "Alright then, I hope we'll meet again in our dreams."
After doing all this, Guangyou yawned, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep.
A few minutes later, a cold voice suddenly rang out in the quiet room.
"Kuangyou, I like you too."
Guangyou wasn't asleep; he woke up instantly after hearing those words in his drowsy state.
Turning to Ai, he asked, "Ai, what did you just say?"
Could you say that again?
Ai didn't respond to Kōyū's question; she remained the same as before, seemingly already asleep.
"She's asleep."
This wasn't something Ai said to him when she was sober, and Kōyū couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, something is better than nothing, and Guangyou quickly adjusted his state.
He looked at Ai's peaceful sleeping face and smiled, "It's so good to have you."
With a satisfied smile, Guangyou drifted off to sleep.
The silvery moonlight shone on the hospital bed, and the girl's trembling eyelashes reflected a faint luster.
Her previously closed eyelids were now open, and her jewel-like, ice-blue eyes were fixed on Guangyou.
Ai said softly, "Me too."
After saying that, Ai looked at Kōyū sleeping for a while before lying down to go to sleep.
Throughout the day, the words Kwang-woo had said to her kept replaying in her mind.
As she reminisced about yesterday's date, she gradually drifted off to sleep.
If anyone were present, they would notice that the two sleeping people had the same smile on their lips.
...
A few hours later, a golden ray appeared on the horizon.
Then, this golden ray spread rapidly to the surrounding area.
In just fifteen minutes, the entire sky was dyed the same color.
Sunlight streamed through the windows, filling the entire ward.
"Um…"
Feeling the sunlight on her face, Ai let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes.
She slept very well last night; even though she only slept for six or seven hours, all the fatigue from yesterday was gone.
When she opened her eyes and saw the situation, a blush quickly spread from her neck upwards.
At that moment, Kwang-woo put one hand on her shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
Her head was resting on Guangyou's chest, and one of her arms was wrapped around his waist.
She definitely initiated the action; she knew it clearly.
