Chapter 14
Although some minor incidents occurred, the fishing work still has to continue.
Amamiya Raisei and Tsushima Shuji followed the locals and spent a pleasant time fishing. The young man looked at the blue mackerel that were caught and tried to grab one and hold it up to look at it, but was almost slapped in the face by the tail of the energetic big fish.
"This fish is really bad." Amamiya Reiichi scolded the fish, then turned to Uncle Tonami and shouted, "Can I have this one to eat?"
"Okay!" The uncle grabbed the fish's tail and slammed its head against the deck of the boat, knocking it dizzy. He took a bag, filled it with some water, and handed it to Amamiya Leisei.
Amamiya Raisei took the bag, shook it, and said to Tsushima Shuji, "I'll eat this tonight. It's so big, I don't think I'll need any extra dishes for dinner."
Tsushima Shuji was speechless and even wanted to say it was childish.
They were busy going back and forth in the lake and on the shore, and later the fishermen had no time to pay attention to the tourists. Amamiya helped for a while and then sat there panting, his clothes soaked. He simply stopped making trouble and watched them catch fish, sighing that he had very little physical strength.
Tsushima Shuji was just a child, so naturally he didn't need help. He just held the big fish with a blank face, his expression as if he was a mackerel floating in the air.
A little bit different, but a little bit similar.
Amemiya glanced at the boy twice, turned his head away and smiled secretly.
"Sir," Tsushima Shuji didn't know what Amamiya Rei was laughing at, but it was something very disgusting. He glared at him gloomily, then pointed at the big fish in his arms and said aggrievedly, "It's heavy."
Great, how can a cute little boy and a dying fish look alike?
Amemiya's heart trembled, and he was overwhelmed by these coquettish syllables. He almost vomited because of the blood rushing up. However, he was afraid of scaring the people on the boat, so he suppressed his emotions.
"Then I'll take it." The young man's tone was strange, and he seemed to be floating when he spoke. He reached out to take the bag, and he looked weak. "There's still some time before dinner, do you still want to walk around?"
Tsushima Shuji looked at the big fish, then glanced at Amamiya's wet pants and clothes, shook his head and said, "No, let's go back first. Your clothes are wet, and you'll catch a cold easily when the temperature drops later."
Amamiya Rei sneezed at the right time. He raised his hand to rub his nose, took two deep breaths, and compromised: "Okay, then let's go out for a walk after dinner. I asked Uncle Tolang, and he said there will be a night market tonight."
They got ashore and before leaving, Amemiya Keisei took a look at the place where the woman had fainted. There was no one there. He guessed that she had been taken away. He didn't care too much and went back to the hotel with Tsushima Shuji.
After giving the fish he brought back to the servant who came over to deal with it, Amamiya Leisei stretched his body and slipped away to the hot spring in the room.
The hot spring room is different. The hot spring is available 24 hours a day, and there is a basket of fresh petals and eggs next to it. Not only can you soak in the rose hot spring, but you can also cook a hot spring egg.
Amemiya shouted with joy, then simply took off his wet clothes and went to soak in the hot spring.
The hot spring pool with only one person in it didn't seem small at all, and he could even swim a few times in the water. However, he couldn't swim, so he could only float on the water, paddle a few times, and then roll back to the shore.
"Gulp gulp..." Amamiya Reizo buried the lower half of his face in the water, having a lot of fun playing with the water. He had forgotten whether he had ever soaked in a hot spring when he was a child. Anyway, he treated this time as his first time and felt curious about everything around him. He picked up his mobile phone and searched how to make hot spring eggs, then took a small basket, put the eggs in the water.
He soaked for so long that Tsushima Shuji came over from the next room and knocked on the sliding door of the hot spring: "Sir? Are you going to faint in the hot spring?"
Amamiya Reiichi coughed lightly, then checked the time and realized that he had been soaking in the water for almost an hour. He was almost soaking wet, so he quickly got out of the water and grabbed his yukata: "Okay, okay."
He came out carrying the hot spring egg, completely forgetting that it was red, and directly scared the boy.
"Sir," Tsushima Shuji blinked, "did you boil yourself in there?"
"No, I won't die if I cook it."
The heat made Amamiya Reizo feel a little dizzy. He reached out and pressed Tsushima Shuji's head, then shook his head: "Okay, I'm a little dizzy. Let me rest for a while and eat an egg."
He staggered to the table, not having a proper sitting posture, and sat casually with his legs crossed. He patted the seat next to him and said, "Shuji-kun, come and do it too."
Tsushima Shuji was also holding a hot spring egg, and he and Amamiya Keisei seemed to have a very good understanding.
The boy sat down in silence. Before Amamiya Reisheng could get over his dizziness, the boy took the egg from his hand, peeled it in a few seconds, and put it to Amamiya Reisheng's mouth.
The young man blinked, was stunned for two seconds, and then took a bite of the boy's hand.
"Why do you suddenly want to peel eggs for me, Shuji?" Amamiya Leisei chewed something and asked vaguely, "Do you want to repay me for peeling the crab shells for you at noon?"
Tsushima Shuji: "Of course not, it's up to you if you want to eat it or not."
Amamiya frowned in grievance: "Shuji-kun, you have changed. At first you only called me Mr. Amamiya in a cold and polite manner, but now you have become disrespectful to your teacher."
Tsushima Shuji rolled his eyes at him.
Maybe it was because the heat from the hot spring had not completely dissipated, but Amamiya Ruisei felt his head was a little bloated. He ate his eggs while looking at his students in a daze.
This child was very good-looking when he was young. There must be many girls who like him after school. He will be even more amazing when he grows up. Amamiya Ruisei recalled the appearance of the head of the Tsushima family and felt that Tsushima Shuji might look more like his mother. He looks really gentle when he pretends to be gentle.
It’s just that the child is still in the rebellious period, with a unwillingness to admit defeat in his eyes, so he will be bitten if he is not careful.
Amamiya Leisei laughed out loud and reached out to pinch Tsushima Shuji's face: "Shuji, children should smile more. Don't have a stern face and frown all day long."
The child immediately frowned and said nothing.
"Pfft..." Amamiya Raisei grabbed Tsushima Shuji, laughed twice, and said, "Little boy, laugh twice."
Shuji Tsushima gave a fake business smile.
"Sir, do you know that you look like a gangster now?"
"Sorry, sorry."
Amamiya Leisheng let go of his hand and rubbed his face: "After all, the child is very cute, I can't help but tease him."
As if being praised for being "cute", Tsushima Shuji asked, "Have you seen children want to play like this?"
"No, no, how could that be? Only people who are familiar with each other will play together. If you don't know them, you'll just go up and play with the child. You'll look like a peddler." Amamiya Leisei muttered, "But I'm only familiar with Shuji-kun, and he's usually too serious. He's not fun to play with."
“…Is there any teacher like you?”
"Students really like me. Those old-fashioned teachers are not liked by students."
Amamiya Reizo made an excuse, sighed, and felt his mind clear up a little. He said, "Okay, I'm fine. I've finished eating the eggs. Let's go have dinner."
Tsushima Shuji also sighed, and like a little adult, he looked at Amamiya Ruisei helplessly: "Come on, sir, dinner is ready, just go and eat."
He came to find someone just to inform them to have dinner.
They did not leave the hotel, but ate directly in the hotel's own restaurant. The fragrant mackerel was placed in the center of the table, surrounded by several piles of side dishes. Amamiya Reizo walked over with shining eyes, went to the side of the big fish and smelled it.
The chef's skills are great, and the food he makes is so delicious that it makes your mouth water.
Amamiya Reizo looked at the fish head with its eyes open, and for some reason he thought of Tsushima Shuji who was holding the fish in the afternoon. He suddenly felt a chill, and he shuddered to get rid of the picture in his mind.
They enjoyed the meal very much. After finishing the whole fish, Amamiya Ruisei still felt unsatisfied and asked for two more dishes. While he was eating enthusiastically, Tsushima Shuji, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly spoke.
"Sir, are you popular among the students?"
Amemiya Reisheng looked at him in confusion and said, "Yes." Didn't he just say that?
"Is that so?" Tsushima Shuji continued calmly, "You said I'm the only younger child you're familiar with. Is that because all of your students are college students?"
"Well, not really..."
Amamiya Leisei gnashed his teeth and said, "I also have students who are the same age as Shuji-kun."
He mumbled and explained, "Before - when I was still in the hospital, because I was the best student, I often gave lessons to the children in the hospital."
"These days, there are still many children whose diseases are difficult to treat. They live in the hospital and have nothing to do all day. I go to give them lessons, tell them stories, and teach them how to write." This was the case when Amamiya Raisei was alive. Ten years ago now, there must have been even more children falling ill in the hospital.
"They are very cute. When they are not sick, they are full of energy and will surround me and call me 'teacher, teacher'. When I see them, I feel full of strength and can go back to taking medicine and getting injections."
Tsushima Shuji tilted his head.
Amamiya Leishou grinned: "But I can't see them now. I feel happy to see Shuji-kun so energetic."
Tsushima Shuji seemed to have misunderstood what he meant by "can't see". He blinked and lowered his eyes. He hesitated and wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to comfort people. He could only call out helplessly: "Sir..."
"Hmm?" Yu Gong Lei responded consciously, "What's wrong?"
Tsushima Shuji closed his eyes, his expression seemed to be entangled in something. He looked over the mist rising from the hot dishes and cast his eyes at Amamiya Ruisei who was sitting opposite him.
"teacher."
The little kid shouted.
