Cherish the time

After the exam on November 28, Taya and Tani went to Shinto's house together.

Shinto Mitsuko welcomed the two of them in, "Are you looking for Xiaoguang? The child seems to have a fever and is lying on the bed now."

"Excuse me." The two said "excuse me", changed their slippers and walked to the second floor.

Entering the room, Shinteng Hikaru was holding a bag of ice cubes, and the water droplets that liquefied on the bag wall soaked into the pillow cover along the hair.

His golden bangs were glued together by water and stuck to his cheeks. His eyes were closed, his brows were tightly frowned, and his lips were chapped. It was obvious that he had a high fever.

"Oh——the fever is so severe." He Gu sighed with admiration, "It's really lucky that you can still finish playing chess."

Taya Ryo glanced at him, went to Shinto's bed and sat down.

Shinto Hikari, who was sick, was languid, and his dying appearance made him lower his eyelids, and he could only look at a small area in front of his eyes.

Seeing the two of them, He Gu fell silent for a while, sat on the chair in front of Jinteng's desk, and looked at the sleeping Xiao Guang quietly.

The sound of Shinto Mitsuko opening the door broke the silence in the room, "Come on, thank you for coming here, let's have some drinks." She stuffed the honey milk she brought into the hands of the two, and sat down on Shinto's bed On the side, "I had a low-grade fever this morning, and I persuaded him not to go, but this kid insisted on going..." She helped Jin Teng comb the messy forehead hair, "Oh..."

Ryo Taya looked up at Shinto's expression, "...Xiaoguang is very powerful."

"No matter how powerful you are... you can't take your body seriously." Shindo's mother was obviously very dissatisfied with his behavior of playing chess regardless of his physical condition. ..."

Ta Yaliang took a sip of the warm honey milk, the fluff around his mouth was stained with a circle of small white foam.

Shinto Mitsuko sat for a while, cheering herself up, "Don't talk about it, Xiaoliang is having dinner here? And this kid—what's your name?"

"Eh? Hello, Auntie!" Hegu Yigao, who was sitting on the chair with his chin resting on the back of the chair, sat up straight in a panic, "My name is Hegu Yigao——!"

"Oh... Xiaoguang often mentions you at home." Shinto Mitsuko stood up with a smile, "Can you stay for dinner tonight?"

Kazuya looked at Taya Ryo for help.

The green-haired boy didn't receive the message in his eyes at all, he just smiled and looked at Shindo's mother, "Then excuse me."

"Well, you guys have fun, just call me if you need anything."

After Shinto Mitsuko walked out of the room, Kazuya quickly sat next to Taya, "Are we going to have dinner here tonight? - I haven't told my mother yet."

"There is a phone call downstairs." Ta Yaliang looked at his face and directed calmly, "You go first, and I will call after you call."

He Gu looked at him silently for two seconds, and finally resigned himself to looking for the phone - his family is cooking his favorite dish tonight!

Satoshi Fujiwara sat on the floor in the corner, quietly looking at Toya who was sitting by the bed.

——This kid... is real...

——I am very concerned about Xiaoguang.

Looking at the green-haired boy's slightly frowning eyebrows, Zuo Wei's violet eyes flashed a hint of tenderness.

Ta Ya Ryo sat quietly for a while, stretched out his fingers to poke Fujimitsu's flushed cheek.

The high temperature coming from the fingertips made Taya Ryo tremble involuntarily.

"Hmm..." Hikari Shinto snorted, slightly turning his head to avoid his fingers with some discomfort.

Ta Yaliang looked at his expression, and then climbed up the furrow between his eyebrows with his fingers, and followed the direction of the eyebrows bit by bit, smoothing the uncomfortable creases for him.

The sound of He Gu and his mother acting coquettishly and cutely fighting for food was faintly heard downstairs.

"..." Maybe it was the coolness of Taya Ryo's fingertips that took away some of the discomfort caused by the high fever, Shindo Hikaru opened his eyes a little bit in a daze, "...ア..."

"You're awake." Seeing him waking up, Ta Yaliang showed a hint of joy, but quickly hid it, "Do you want a drink?"

"No...cough cough cough cough cough——!" Shinto Mitsu just said two words, and then began to cough, with a huge resonance in his chest, as if he wanted to squeeze all the air in that slender body at once. As if it came out, it was so heart-piercing that it made the listener worry.

Ta Yaliang was frightened by the sound of his coughing, and suddenly forgot what to say to him, so he could only stand over and pat him on the back.

Shinto Hikari coughed for a while, finally stopped, smiled at Taya Ryo, and lay back by himself.

Ta Yaliang helped him pick up the ice bag that fell on the bed, and put it back to its original position.

After all this tossing, most of the annoyance in Ta Yaliang's heart went away—he was actually full of anger when he came, but he couldn't tell whether the anger was directed at Xiaoguang who refused to rest or I couldn't understand Shinto's physical condition.

——It was obvious that his expression was not right, why didn't he insist on persuading him to go back.

"...Why are you here?" Shinto Hikaru lay back softly, his whole body was buried under the quilt, only a flushed face was exposed outside.

"...I..." Before Xiaoliang could answer, Hegu's voice rushed in, "I'm done calling! ——Hey Xiaoguang, you're awake!"

"Hey...you're here too..." Shinto Hikaru looked over Xiaoliang's thigh, and looked towards the door, "...Didn't you still argue in the morning to go back for dinner tonight?"

"..." He Gu Yigao immediately lost face, "Hey! Can you not mention this?"

"Haha...—cough cough cough cough..." Hikari Shinto managed to calm down the 'cough' event that was accidentally triggered by the chance of 'laughter', "Don't be too sad...! There is always something to eat..."

"But eating one more time is one time...!" He Gu muttered in a low voice, "How did you do this?"

"I don't know either..." Hikari Shinto's voice was hoarse and uncomfortable, "...Give me some water..."

Ta Yaliang consciously handed over the honey milk in his hand.

Hikaru Shinto took a few sips, and a few drops of milky white liquid hung on his chapped lips, "...I don't know too well, it's just like this when I woke up early in the morning."

"Could it be beating the quilt?" He Gu Yigao laughed and teased, "Such a big man..."

"..." Shinto Hikari glanced at him—given his red eyes and weak appearance—so in Kazuya's view, this was more like a limp coquettish rather than a vicious threat.

"Yo, you really look like a little girl."

"...The next time you play chess, you can say this sentence again."
