Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 167 Like Quasimodo
In mid-February, it is already approaching the end of winter.

Signs of spring are gradually appearing.

New sprouts sprouted densely on the dry branches beside the road, and the entire Qingchuan River seemed extremely vibrant.

——This is also unique to Qingchuan.

After all, a severe rainstorm almost completely watered Qingchuan.

It has been two weeks since the heavy rain.

Haichao Yeai was sentenced and put in prison.

For a girl like Hai Tide, it is natural to get the judge's attention.

Haichao Algae also severed his relationship with Haichao Yeai - because Haichao Yeai married into Haichao's family, some real estate that originally belonged to Haichao's family was divided between Haichao Algae and Haichao.

Some of the belongings belonging to Hai Chao Ye Ai were also divided and used to treat Hai Chao Algae's injuries and future life.

The hospital selected is the best hospital in Qingchuan, and the doctors are also the best doctors.

The treatment method is proposed by doctors, which requires breaking the deformed bones, correcting the position, and allowing the bones to heal in the correct direction.

——And this is not only the ankle, but also the shoulders, arms, ribs and other places that require surgery.

Her pale skin was also caused by injuries in her body.

Until now, she has been lying in the hospital, receiving treatment.

Xia Tingfei brought a handful of blue hydrangeas. Most hydrangeas only bloom in June and July.Now they are all purchased in flower shops.

The petals are so finely broken that they look like stardust.

There is a dense blue halo on the edge of the petals.

Hydrangeas have no special meaning, they are just beautiful.

Under the hospital building, Xia Tingfei looked at Sakuma Qingmei.

There is always a small park next to the hospital for patients to walk and bask in the sun. She sat on the bench in the park and basked in the sun.

Qingchuan, which is approaching March, is completely cool.

It seems that the heavy rain made the sky extremely clear.

Xia Tingfei walked over and sat aside: "Did something happen?"

Although the seaweed crumbs are pitiful, Sakuma Kiyomi is not the kind of good old person.

Her personality is the same as her father's, both are extremely tough.

If there wasn't something wrong, she probably wouldn't have come to the hospital.

"The skin on Haichao Noai's arm was cut off."

"Oh, is that so?"

Xia Tingfei's tone was very calm and he was not surprised.

He had begun to suspect Qujian Ai very early on, even though there was absolutely no evidence - Qujian Ai's ability was completely impossible to tell others.

"So, let's ask the tide algae flakes if they know anything."

Sakuma Seimei tapped her knees with her fingers: "After all, my father is almost entirely devoted to this case."

"Didn't he find a clue?"

Xia Tingfei knew that old man Sakuma had found clues before, because he could catch the criminal quickly.

However, there has been no movement until now.

"It failed." Sakuma Seimei was silent for a moment: "The deceased who committed suicide on the Steel Bridge had a note on his body, which was a receipt from a convenience store. Based on the location of the receipt, my father determined the scope of the deceased's activities. Then Narrowed it down to a coffee shop.”

"I thought that the coffee shop was a friendship club. But it's not."

"The cafe has existed for a long time, and it has been recruiting female high school students to work. It is very famous in nearby schools, because the salary is high and it is relatively leisurely. So basically they will work in that cafe for a period of time, and they all There were no problems.”

"Other staff in the cafe did see the deceased, but the deceased was only working there. As for where the deceased went outside of working, they didn't know."

"Do you believe it?" Xia Tingfei put his palms on his legs. If Qu Jianai was in that cafe, the others would never be discovered.

The kind of charm that can distort the mind is the most terrifying controller.

Relying on ordinary humans, it is impossible to compete with her.

"We have left people there, but until now there is no news." Sakuma Kiyome said: "My father has already fainted once because of overwork."

"Oh. Is that so?" Xia Tingfei was noncommittal.

"So, I may not be able to help you with Quma Ai's matter." Sakuma Kiyome shook her head: "I am going to take over my father's job. The doctor said that if he continues to work like this, sooner or later he will die suddenly. of."

"I know."

Xia Tingfei stood up, picked up the blue hydrangeas, and prepared to leave.

"Qujian Ai, we can't find any trace of her at all. If it weren't for your photo, those looking for Qujian Ai would almost doubt whether there is such a person in the world."

"Of course there is."

Xia Tingfei shook his head and ended his exchange with Sakuma Qingmei.

The ward for sea tide algae is in a special ward building, just to the side of the consultation building, connected by a long corridor.

Hinazuki Kana sat by the window and basked in the sun.

——As one of the few friends of the seaweed, the task of taking care of the seaweed naturally fell on Hinazuki Kana and Xia Tingfei.

The seaweed flakes were lying on the bed, with steel frames fixed to their legs and feet.

The light made her skin extremely white. She tilted her head and looked at the bright sun outside the window.

"Is marriage confirmed?"

"Huh?" Hinazuki Kana glanced at the tide algae chips.

——Of course she understands why Haitide Algae asked this.

But even if you know it, it doesn't mean you accept it.

——If it were an ordinary person, he might say something nice to deceive her because of her current pitiful appearance.

But Hinazuki Kana wouldn't be like this.

She flipped through the library book in her hand: "It's not confirmed yet. This kind of thing will only be formally discussed after graduating from high school. However, what I can confirm now is that our relationship is very good, and it is a good relationship for us. First pick.”

The words are full of confidence, which is a declaration of strength.

It is a declaration of victory.

Let the sea tide algae flakes feel a slight tingling in your heart.

"Didn't I already know about this kind of thing?"

"I want too."

She whispered the words of challenge.

Hinazuki Kana's eyes suddenly became dangerous. She would never give in to this kind of thing.

"Oh"

She responded dangerously, flipping her fingers and closing the library.

"Do you think you have a chance?" Hinazuki Kana touched the smooth surface of the library book: "Maybe you think you have this chance, but maybe you are self-righteous."

"If there's no hope for the No. [-] pick, it's okay to be the No. [-] pick."

Hai Tide Algae said softly, looking at the dazzling sunshine outside.

My skin feels hot.

"I, think the second pick doesn't matter either."

She repeated this once: "After high school, you must become a security guard. Then, you must be guarded by someone."

"After all, he can easily provoke other girls."

"In order to prevent this from happening, how about letting me, the second overall pick, guard it?"

His eyelids drooped with seaweed flakes——It always felt a little shameless to say such words in front of the number one person.

No one can speak voyeuristic words justifiably in front of him.

But she opened her eyes firmly and looked at Hinazuki Kana.

Hinazuki Kana's expression was not full of disgust and hatred as she thought, but a kind of desolation. "I don't need you to do such boring things." Hinazuki Kana opened the book again: "The trust between him and me is stronger than the world."

"I would never doubt him, I believe in him."

"He can have me anytime, anywhere."

"No matter when and where, no matter what he looks like. Even if he is reviled by thousands of people, or is about to die. I will hug him and accompany him."

"Like Quasimodo embracing Esmeralda."

"I seem to have lost." She looked at Hinazuki Kana.

Hai Tide Algae clearly understood that he had lost.

She seemed to still be stuck in stagnant reality, but she had already stepped onto a high ladder.

But even so.

How could I possibly give up?

"I am the second in line."

She said these words like a declaration.

It's also like a sad attributive.

"It's so sad." Hinazuki Kana sighed and turned the pages of the book.

She no longer talked to Hai Tide Algae, and Hai Tide Algae also lost the desire to talk.

Just quietly looking outside at the coming spring.

"It's so warm."

He sighed, with a hint of sadness in his words.

dong dong dong.

After knocking three times, the door was pushed open.

Xia Tingfei placed the hydrangeas in the vase. The bright blue petals looked like stardust with a halo of light.

"very beautiful."

Tide algae looking at hydrangeas.

"Thank you."

Xia Tingfei placed the vase on the bedside table, and you could almost smell the scent of the flowers.

"How's your body?"

"Fortunately, the ankle is now like a normal person."

"Where's the arm?"

"Arms too."

The surgery is almost done, you just need to continue to rest and it will be fine.

It will probably take some time before I can get out of bed and walk.

If the restoration is almost complete, the iron frames can be dismantled, but if the restoration is not good, it will be difficult.

Xia Tingfei nodded to the seaweed flakes and walked to Hinazuki Kana again: "What is it?"

"Isn't it obvious? It's the library version."

Moving a chair and sitting next to Hinazuki Kana, Xia Tingfei looked at Hinazuki Kana: "You can go back and rest, and take a good bath and sleep."

"It doesn't matter." Hinazuki Kana flipped up her hair and looked at the library book in her hand: "I just came here to read it when I have free time."

After saying these words, the two stopped talking.

It seemed like he had nothing to say.

But Hai Chao Algae understood that there was no need for the two of them to say anything.

Just being together with each other, there is an inexplicable sense of harmony.

Like a family that has been together for a long time.

"I'm so envious."

Hai Tide Algae was very envious and blinked.

"Have the flowers outside bloomed yet?"

"No." Xia Tingfei shook his head: "Only green buds appeared on the branches, and it will still take some time before the flowers bloom."

"Hydrangeas are from florists."

"So that's it." The tide algae looked at the hydrangea and said, "The weather outside is so good, it must be very clear compared to the sea water."

What is the relationship between weather and sea water?
Xia Tingfei said: "When I came, I didn't go to the beach. But maybe it would be very clear. When I came, I heard some people discussing that they wanted to go to the beach. Although I didn't understand why I wanted to go there in this season. Play at the beach.”

"Probably because it attracted a lot of tourists before, and then I want these tourists to continue to stay here and spend money." Hinazuki Kana said: "When I was at the Public Security Bureau, someone discussed this issue."

"After all, Qingchuan is considered a tourist city."

"However, in normal times, tourists are only sparse and normal."

The three of them chatted endlessly under the sun at noon on Sunday about nonsense topics.

Probably, this is some kind of youth.

Youth - this kind of topic is a bit far away from the three of them. After all, they are sensitive and delicate, but they have encountered that kind of unusual thing.

For them, youth has long lost its aura.
Therefore, this kind of life that can enjoy the midday sunshine like ordinary people is precious and rare.

dong dong dong.

A series of rapid knocks on the door disrupted the conversation of the three people.

"Please come in."

Hinazuki Kana spoke.

The person who came in was Naoko Ueno, who had black hair and black eyes. She looked at Hinazuki Kana and Xia Tingfei in surprise.

But then he covered it up.

"Sure enough, are you here too?"

Naoko Ueno sighed, looking very distressed.

Xia Tingfei was noncommittal and would only look at Naoko Ueno.

Hai Tide Algae didn't understand what Naoko Ueno was doing, and she blinked.

"call"

She exhaled deeply and took another deep breath.

Naoko Ueno finally spoke: "I came today to apologize."

She looked a little unhappy: "But it's definitely not that I admitted my mistake."

"Things like that happen, and I never think it's just me who's wrong."

The smell of gunpowder was strong, but Xia Tingfei and Hinazuki Kana just watched with cold eyes.

"Today I am just apologizing for things that may have caused your physical injuries." Naoko Ueno said: "But, as expected, I still don't like you."

"Although, you are very pitiful."

Naoko Ueno said this and took out the gift hidden behind her back.

It is a box with a bow tie. It looks very nice and has the atmosphere of a female high school student.

Placed it on the seaweed bedside table.

He called Xia Tingfei out again.

The two of them stood in the corridor. Naoko Ueno looked at Xia Tingfei: "Have you been busy with such things before? Is that why you don't have time to take care of Nishimiya's affairs?"

"Probably." Xia Tingfei looked at Naoko Ueno: "Now, isn't she very good?"

　Happy Tanabata.
