Chapter 50

As mentioned before, during the years that Amamiya Rei was in the hospital, he would occasionally teach other children who were also seriously ill and staying in the hospital for a long time how to read and study. They might not be much younger than Amamiya Rei, but they would all be very obedient and cute and call him "Teacher Amamiya".

He was also very happy to see the children recover and leave the hospital one by one, but sometimes things happened that he didn't want to see.

Like, there's no way I can save him anymore.

Amamiya Reisheng followed the girl in a wheelchair and quickly went to a ward. There were already many people standing outside the ward, all of them were the child's family members. His parents were sitting at the door crying bitterly, and when they saw Amamiya Reisheng coming, they looked up at him.

"It's Mr. Amamiya..." The woman choked up, "Komatsu is inside with the children, you should go meet him..."

Amamiya staggered to his feet and pushed the door open with the girl.

The ward was very quiet. The children in hospital gowns gathered around the bed without saying a word. Even their tears were quiet, as if they were afraid of disturbing the person lying on the bed. When Leisheng Yumiya came in, they raised their hands to wipe away the tears on their faces and called him softly, "Teacher Yumiya."

The young man fixed his gaze on the hospital bed.

He was a boy of about thirteen or fourteen, considered older among the children. At this moment, all the equipment on his body had been removed, and he looked particularly clean. The boy was lying on the bed with his eyes slightly closed, breathing weakly. After hearing the voice, he opened his already cloudy eyes, turned his head with difficulty and looked at Amamiya Keisei.

"Old..." The young man moved his lips and a sound came out from his throat.

When Amamiya Keisei walked over, the children consciously made way for him and pushed their chairs to the side of the bed.

"Xiaosong," Amamiya said in a stern voice, "I came to see you."

"Teacher Amamiya." The boy raised his lips with a weak and soft smile to the young man. "I heard that you were in a coma for several days and just woke up a few days ago. I was so worried... I'm glad you're okay."

Amamiya Leisheng opened his mouth and half-closed his eyes to hide his expression: "You, you will be fine too."

Zhisong frowned and said, "Ah, it's okay. I know. I'm leaving soon."

One of the children could no longer hold back her tears and sobs came out of her mouth.

"Don't cry," he said softly, "You will all recover from your illness, and you will be happy when you are discharged from the hospital."

"And Amamiya-sensei... things will definitely get better too."

Amemiya Leisei reached out his hand, gently stroked the other's cheek, and lifted the hair that was blocking his face. Perhaps it was a last burst of energy before death, the boy's originally pale face brightened a lot, and even his speech became smooth, as if he had endless energy.

The boy's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Hey, teacher, I feel more comfortable than ever before."

"There is no IV drip on my hand, and I am not on a ventilator. Of course, there are all kinds of tubes that I can't even name..." Zhisong smiled sweetly, "I feel so relaxed and comfortable."

"So don't worry, I will definitely go to heaven, and then, then I will become an angel. I think angels are so beautiful."

The boy's voice gradually weakened: "Of course, maybe I will be reincarnated as a healthy child, and then continue to be my parents' child, and Mr. Amamiya's student, and then become friends with everyone, and when I grow up, I will marry the person I love."

He closed his eyes, still smiling: "So everyone should live well, wait for me in ten years, and then I will be back..."

The children were already crying. Amamiya Leisei put his hand on the boy's back, looked at him calmly, and said, "Yes."

"Everyone will live well, including me."

That day, Amemiya Leisheng stood outside his ward for a very long time, so long that the patient had been wheeled out. The room was temporarily sealed off, waiting for someone to come and clean it, and for the next person to move in.

He leaned against the wall, tilted his head back, and stared at the light on the ceiling with hazy eyes. The light dazzled the scene before his eyes and seemed to clear his mind, leaving his thoughts blank at the moment.

In the hospital, someone would die almost every few days. Amamiya Tadashi had witnessed this many times, including his students. This was not the first time he had to say goodbye to a child he knew, but this time he felt particularly sad.

He had never wanted to see Tsushima Shuji so much as he did now.

He didn't want to see the other person jump from a tall building when he grew up, nor did he want to see the other person lying in bed sick and injured like him, and he couldn't imagine the other person dying.

Will there be a day when, in a corner that he can't see, Shuji Tsushima will also take the same path?

Yu Gong Lei Sheng closed his eyes.

[System, I want to go back.]

[Huh?] The system looked confused, [But not yet...]

"I've been repairing it for three days. No matter what, I won't collapse as soon as I return, right?" Amamiya Ruisei said calmly, "I can repair it slowly when the time comes."

The system hesitated: [But...]

[Just answer me, can you?]

[Yes, you can,] the system said vaguely, [but if you go back now, the vest will continue to be the original state for a while, and it will take at least a few months, which is a few days here, to recover. It will be very difficult, right? And host, aren't you afraid that you will vomit blood and faint as soon as you go back, and scare Tsushima Shuji?]

Amamiya Keizo lowered his head: [I thought, considering the state Shuji-kun was in before I left, maybe if I tortured myself a little, it would help him divert his attention. Don't think too much.]

System: [Hmm... Host...]

[Send me back.]

[Okay,] the system sighed and agreed, [By the way, since the progress has reached 50%, the host can go back and forth every once in a while, but be aware of the speed of time flowing in both worlds.]

The system gave a few more worried instructions, and only sent Amamiya Ruisheng back after he returned to his ward.

When Amamiya Ruisei opened his eyes, it was already night here. There was no light on in the room, so it was very dark. He blinked a few times drowsily to ease the dizziness brought by traveling through the world.

Perhaps the main body has already adapted to its heavy weight, and the condition of the vest has become the same as the main body, so there is nothing strange about it.

Amemiya Leisei tried to move his body. Maybe it was because he had slept for more than three months, so he moved very stiffly. He struggled to prop up his body and sat up, and his arm touched the cup on the bedside table.

The glass fell to the ground and shattered in an instant. The loud noise made the lights outside the room light up, followed by the familiar voice of Shuji Tsushima.

"Mr. Amamiya?!"

Someone rushed in, not even turning on the light in the room, and rushed directly to the bedside. His tone was filled with endless joy: "Are you awake? I'll go call the doctor and be back soon."

"Wait, wait a minute." How could Amamiya Reizo dare to see a doctor right now? What if he scared Tsushima Shuji because of the sudden drop in his physical data after waking up? He quickly reached out and grabbed Tsushima Shuji's wrist, "Shuji-kun..."

"Ouch!" A muffled groan of pain came from the dark room. Tsushima Shuji instinctively withdrew his hand and said nonchalantly, "Then I'll go get a small lamp. Sir, you just woke up and can't look at too strong light..."

"Shuji-kun."

Amamiya Reisheng retracted his fingers, feeling the sticky liquid in his palms and the smell of blood coming from the other person, and said blankly: "You are injured? What happened?"
