Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 80 Patience

What causes you the most pain?

"Someone who has your whole heart and soul suddenly turns around and leaves, stopping loving you for no reason..."

What makes you happiest?

"He's back..."

……

The room was empty, and it was raining heavily outside the window. The rain pounded against the glass, but instead of a deep, reassuring sound, it sounded very sharp.

Feeling the chill covering her skin, Hojo Shione looked up at the window, but her vision was blurred and she couldn't see anything.

Is this a dream again?

Shadows, pain, rain...

I've had this nightmare countless times since I separated from Kiyoya.

Without realizing it, she seemed to have gotten used to it.

Huddled in a corner with her knees drawn up, she stared blankly at the window outside. Just like in her previous dream, gurgling mud seeped in through the window and soon covered the floor of the room.

Before long, the mud rose to her knees.

She felt as if she were sinking into a swamp, constantly sinking deeper and deeper, unable to escape no matter how hard she struggled.

Gradually, a feeling of suffocation welled up inside me, and I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

At times like these, Hojo Shione would lose track of whether it was reality or a dream.

Silent tears welled up in her eyes. She instinctively tried to find the antidote, but found she couldn't move at all...

It's okay, just bear with it a little longer, just a little longer and you'll wake up...

Hojo Shione comforted herself and closed her eyes tightly.

Suddenly, a gentle light pierced the darkness, the suffocation and pain disappeared, and the piercing sound of rain in my ears vanished completely.

Hojo Shione felt as if she were enveloped by a hot spring, the familiar and comforting scent lingering around her nose.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and a figure she had been longing for appeared in her sight. Unable to contain her joy, she rushed over.

"Qing Zai!"

"I love you……"

The dream vanished abruptly, and sunlight streamed through the curtains onto the girl's face.

Hojo Shione's eyelids trembled, still feeling the lingering happiness in her heart. Thinking about how she had just hugged the other person in her dream, a joyful smile remained on her face.

I tried to hug the other person tightly, but there was only an empty blanket.

She instantly snapped back to reality, and looking at the empty room before her, the smile vanished from her face.

Anxiety rose in her heart again. She sat up abruptly, instinctively wanting to call the other person's name, but could only utter a dry, broken sound.

"Qing Zai..."

Although the sound was unpleasant and faint, it was surprisingly effective; the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

Shiratori Seiya, carrying breakfast, stood in the doorway, looked at the pale-faced, terrified girl with disheveled hair on the bed, and smiled at her, saying:

"Waking up so early, why not sleep a little longer?"

"Holy crap..."

I thought you had left...

Hojo Shione opened her mouth, then finally smiled, her eyes welling up with tears of happiness.

Shiratori Seiya walked to her side, put down the breakfast, and handed her a tissue, saying:

"Actually, I could sleep a little longer; it's only a little past seven."

He paused, then took out the breakfast and set it out, saying:

"Remember to eat more fish and honey in your diet lately, and avoid spicy foods, although you should already be mindful of not eating spicy food normally. As for staple foods, drink more porridge..."

"Try to look at your phone less. I just checked with Fukada's agent, and the contract terms are basically fine. At most, you'll have to pay some compensation later. Then you can take a break, since you were planning to rest anyway, so it's not really a big deal..."

Listening to Shiratori Seiya's rambling, Hojo Shione felt as if the feelings from their past relationship had returned.

Looking at the boy's profile, she couldn't help but sit up in bed, hugging him tightly and rubbing her cheek against his, as if she never wanted to let go.

Feeling the other person's tenderness at that moment, Hojo Shione felt even more guilty.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

As long as I can be with Kiyoya, I'll be your slave for life, even if it means tearing my heart out.

If I let her keep hugging me like this, I probably won't be able to do anything else all day.

Shiratori Seiya patted her shoulder and said:
"Alright, let's wash up and eat first."

Upon hearing him mention washing up, Hojo Shione immediately realized that she hadn't showered since last night...

The smile on her face suddenly froze. She quickly let go of Shiratori Seiya and hurriedly tried to find her slippers on the ground with her head down.

However, the more anxious she became, the less she could find the other one.

Seeing this, Shiratori Seiya bent down, reached out and grabbed her ankle, and put the other slipper on her.

Hojo Shione blushed, a sweet look flashing in her eyes, and she quickly slipped into the bathroom with her head down.

A dozen minutes later, Shiratori Seiya glanced at his phone and said to the girl next to him who was eating quietly, "Rin said she's going to the station to pick up Auntie now, and she'll come over with Auntie in a little while."

Upon hearing this, Hojo Shione stopped drinking her porridge, picked up the paper and pen on the table, and wrote:
"Kiyoya, are you going back today?"

Shiratori Seiya glanced at it, pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice:
"Well, after all, Auntie is here to take care of you, and I'd be in the way. Besides, I need to take Mio back with me..."

After a pause, looking into the girl's watery eyes, Shiratori Seiya said:
"Besides, you need to give me time to think things through, don't you?"

Hearing him say that, Hojo Shione nodded, and after a moment of inner struggle, wrote on the paper:
"Actually... I don't have to get married. That shouldn't count as you breaking your promise, right?"

Upon seeing this, Shiratori Seiya remained silent for a moment before shaking his head and saying:
"Let's talk about it later. Don't think about these things for now. Just focus on getting better."

Upon hearing this, Hojo Shione wrote again: "I'm full."

Once Shiratori Seiya had read the words clearly, she pushed the breakfast on the table aside, took out a hard candy from the table and put it in her mouth, then got up to block the door and drew the curtains near the corridor.

She slowly walked up to Shiratori Seiya and sat on his lap before he could speak.

Pressed down by the girl's snow-white legs, and with the alluring scent of her virginity filling his nostrils, Shiratori Seiya frowned and instinctively tried to push her away.

However, seeing the pleading look in the girl's eyes, he stopped what he was doing.

She gradually drew closer, her breath becoming rapid.

Finally, her cherry lips pressed against the boy's neck, slowly moving upwards...

…………

About an hour later, Hojo Suzune stood at the door of the ward with her mother. Shiratori Seiya, who had been waiting there, stepped forward and said:

"Aunt……"

He had met Mrs. Hojo a few times and had even eaten at her home; they got along quite well.

However, this time she looked at Shiratori Seiya with a complicated expression, hesitated before sighing and walking into the ward.

It goes without saying that the other party wanted him to leave, and Shiratori Seiya could naturally see that, so he could only smile awkwardly.

But Hojo Suzune wasn't blind; she was trembling with anger and couldn't help but shout:
"Mom, what do you mean?!"

Upon hearing this, Shiratori Seiya quickly pulled her aside and shook his head at her.

"Qing Zai..."

Hojo Suzune's eyes reddened, and she reached out to tug at his sleeve, her eyes filled with heartache.

"Alright, take good care of your sister. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Hojo Suzune opened her mouth as if to say something, but Shiratori Seiya did not linger and quickly left.

The two entered the ward, closed the door, and waited until they could no longer hear his footsteps before walking calmly to Hojo Shione's bedside.

Ignoring his mother beside him, he raised his hand and waved it forcefully.

'Snapped! '

A crisp slap echoed in the air.

Hojo Shione was stunned by the slap and stared blankly at her. Mrs. Hojo was also taken aback for a moment, then reacted and quickly pulled her aside, saying sternly:

"Lingyin, are you crazy?!"

However, Hojo Suzune pushed her mother away, climbed onto the hospital bed, and stared at the girl with eyes full of hatred, coldly saying:

"Are you satisfied now?"

"You must be feeling really smug right now, right? You think you've won a huge victory, don't you?"

"Do you think you're incredibly amazing? Do you think you earned all of this yourself, and that what you did was absolutely flawless, right?"

"You must feel really good taking advantage of Kiyozai's kindness to make him feel guilty towards you, right?"

Hojo Shione's pupils trembled, and she opened her mouth as if to say something, but could only make soft 'hoarse' sounds.

However, Hojo Suzune showed no sign of stopping; in fact, her voice grew even louder.

"Do you really think everyone else is stupid?! Do you really think you're the only smart one?"

"Do you really think Kiyoya knows nothing?"

As she spoke, she shakily took out her phone, pulled up her chat history with Kiyoya from the previous night, and shoved it in front of Hojo Shione.

"Take a good look! Take a good look!"

"He clearly knows everything, but he still pretends he knows nothing..."

Who do you think you are?

"You think you're the only one who likes him?"

"You think you're the only one who's been enduring all this time..."

"Why should you... let him suffer such injustice..."

The girl's voice was choked with sobs as she questioned him, tears streaming down her face.

Hearing her words and looking at the chat history on her phone screen, Hojo Shione's heart skipped a beat, her eyes glazed over, as if struck by lightning.

"Kiyoshi, she's clearly lying to you!"

"It doesn't matter anymore..."
