CHAPTER 441: CHAPTER 313: SHALL WE SQUEEZE IN AND SLEEP AT THE HOSPITAL TONIGHT?_2

But even if she turned into a yandere, I don’t want her to leave my side.

A deep dream, sinking deeper and deeper...

...

There’s nothing happy about being in the hospital, but being fed by a beautiful girl is definitely something to be happy about.

One bite after another, one bite after another.

Hanamaru Hanabi held the chopsticks, piling the meat and vegetables with rice, recalling what her father had said on the phone.

She really worried that his condition would suddenly worsen.

But even if he were to lie in bed forever... unable to sense the outside world anymore...

"Sakura-kun... Hanabi will take care of you for a lifetime..." Hanamaru Hanabi said this with her head down after feeding him a bite.

Uesugi Sakura was chewing the food in his mouth, "Why say something so sad when everything is fine? It’s not like we’re acting in a movie."

"Sakura-kun’s illness... can’t be cured..."

Doctor Nasu is a professor at Tokyo University Medical College, having served as the dean of the medical college. Whether in medical knowledge or practical experience, he’s at the top level in the country.

Many patients made miraculous recoveries under his skilled hands.

If he says it can’t be cured, then it’s indeed a very tricky situation.

"Rest assured, just a little rest, and there won’t be any problem getting discharged."

"Mm..." Hanamaru Hanabi replied absent-mindedly.

Uesugi Sakura looked at her unhappy little face and said with a smile, "If I become paralyzed, unable to walk, and can’t give you happiness, Hanabi should find someone else."

"No, I don’t want to!"

"But if I’m paralyzed, I can’t give you anything, and you’d just be watching over me, helping me with troublesome tasks like going to the bathroom, wiping my body, pushing my wheelchair outside to see the sun—even though I have no reaction... Then I’d grow old day by day and no longer look handsome like when I was young."

"Sakura-kun, don’t talk about those things..." Hanamaru Hanabi muttered as she fed him another bite of food.

"Alright, I won’t say anymore."

Uesugi Sakura quickly ate the food she fed him, keeping his mouth busy.

"The flowers at the head of the bed, are they all from Hanabi?"

"They’re from everyone."

"Everyone?"

"Sakisa, Rika, Rie, and Sakura-kun’s classmates have all come by."

"I didn’t expect that I’m actually quite cared for."

"Sakura-kun just isn’t easy to approach for strangers."

"Quite the opposite of you, so in some aspects, we’re complementary."

"Sekine also came to send... Hanabi wanted to refuse... but he was sending it to Sakura-kun... Sakura-kun is still sick..."

"No need to mind him."

The mealtime was pretty peaceful, Aei and Chiaei were doing homework nearby, while two ladies came into the ward holding two little ones to visit him.

Hanamaru Hanami, upon meeting, immediately wanted him to hold her.

"This little one seems to really like her brother-in-law." Uesugi Sakura laughed and put the little sister-in-law on his lap, holding her with his hands under her arms, letting her little feet step repeatedly on his legs.

The little sister-in-law was too energetic, unlike his own quieter sister.

Mrs. Hanamaru: "Little Sakura looks pretty good in spirits; the other day, your sudden headache really scared everyone."

"It’s fine now." Uesugi Sakura smiled.

Mrs. Uesugi: "Your dad came to see you yesterday, still puzzled about how you could contract such a disease when you were so healthy."

"It might be hereditary." Uesugi Sakura paused, then replied.

"Both your maternal and paternal grandparents didn’t have it, and upon further inquiry, they found out your great-grandmother used to always complain about headaches during her life."

Grandfather’s mother...

This relationship is a bit distant, isn’t it?

Could it still be passed down?

Uesugi Sakura didn’t mind this illness much; even if modern medicine couldn’t cure it, there was a system that could treat it.

It’s just that he never needed to use the system, and using it would drain everything.

To change the treatment medicine, he still had to do tasks to earn points.

Mrs. Hanamaru: "Doctor Nasu said your illness may relapse, so Sakura should still be careful in the future."

"It’s nothing; with a good mood, the illness naturally fades away. Perhaps in a few weeks, everyone would forget about this incident."

Since his little sister seemed sleepy, Uesugi Sakura had to return her to his mother.

"I’m relieved to hear you think like this, Sakura." Mrs. Uesugi soothed the little girl to sleep.

During the remaining time, Uesugi Sakura took the opportunity to help Chiaei with a few math and science problems for entrance exams.

Public and national schools generally aren’t as good as private ones.

Even elementary students face the pressure of not being able to advance to good middle schools.

Enrolling in private tutoring is prevalent, and typically from the fifth grade, if you want to go to a good school, you must sign up for cram school classes.

"Little Sakura, rest peacefully."

"Goodbye, brother."

"Mm, goodbye."

Time gradually moved toward midnight, leaving only the two of them in the room once more.

"Hanabi, you should go back to sleep comfortably; I don’t need anyone to look after me now."

"No way... What if Sakura-kun suddenly gets a headache again?" She looked like she couldn’t bring herself to leave.

"Then where will you sleep?"

"It’s fine to lean and sleep by the bedside..."

"Not good, I’ll give you the bed, I’ll sleep by leaning." Uesugi Sakura didn’t want her to lose sleep because of him.

"But Sakura-kun is the patient..."

"But I care more about your comfort." Uesugi Sakura said.

"If Sakura-kun really doesn’t mind... we could sleep together..."

"The hospital bed is too small!" Uesugi Sakura looked at the bed beneath him, then at her, "Sleep squeezed together?"

The girl once used to blush at the thought of sleeping together, but now they slept together regularly. Although there were no overly intimate contacts, there was no resistance to it either.

She was just worried.

"I won’t... squeeze Sakura-kun, will I?"

"It’s not like my limbs are injured, and you’re so petite," Uesugi Sakura lowered his head to measure the width of the bed with his hands, "Squeezing together.... shouldn’t be a problem."

"It’s already 11 o’clock; it’s time to sleep." He glanced at the pitch-black night outside the window.

Patting the bed, he signaled for the girl to get on.

"Hanabi didn’t bring any pajamas..."

"Sleeping naked is fine too, I don’t have any extra hospital attire."

"..."

"Still, sleep with your clothes on..."

Uesugi Sakura glanced at her dress: "Even though the dress is thin, it’ll be hot crammed in together at this temperature."

"The air conditioning can be turned on, right?"

This is a private room with its own bathroom, so of course, there’s air conditioning.

"Mm, indeed... that’s fine then."

Turning off the lights, the two squeezed onto the hospital bed with great difficulty.

In the pitch-black darkness, other than the moonlight passing through the curtains by the window, nothing was visible.

Due to their different heights, Hanabi’s head could only reach his neck.

...

...

...

"Hanabi, your heartbeat is so fast, and your face is really hot, are you having a fever?"

"No... no, it’s just... too close..."

Uesugi Sakura moved slightly, and Hanamaru Hanabi immediately made a small, shy sound.

Since they were sleeping face to face, when he moved.

Little Hanabi dared not speak, and Uesugi Sakura also showed no signs of speaking.

"..."

The air fell silent again, time quietly flowing in the night, just when he thought Hanabi had adapted to being held by him.

"Sakura-kun..."

"Mm, haven’t slept yet?"

"Sakura-kun’s..."

"..."

"Don’t worry, it’ll be alright in a while." Uesugi Sakura hugged her back.

Hanamaru Hanabi buried her face in his chest, her little hand pressed against her face, listening to his steady heartbeat.

"..."

Her little belly was very soft; he could feel it.

"Sorry... it’s still the same as before..."

"No, it’s okay..."

"Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for you? Shall we sleep back to back?"

"No... " Hanamaru Hanabi clutched the clothes on his chest, clinging tightly like a little deer in his embrace.

Uesugi Sakura’s side was a little numb from the position, he moved slightly; feeling the soft sensation against the girl’s small belly made him unable to relax, increasingly heated by the sweet fragrance.

What to do?

Forget it, just stay like this.

Little Hanabi made no more noise. As a man, he couldn’t very well mention it again.

Later that night, he gradually fell into a dream.

In the dream, there were soft, delicate little hands of the girl soothing his soul.
