[The summer sun is so blazing that even if the sun has just risen above the horizon, the temperature is still very high. You will sweat after walking in the sun for a while.]
[Nakajima Reina hadn't experienced this kind of heat for a long time, so she felt fresh. She had seen the garden scenery very familiarly in the ward, but after changing the angle of observation, the scene that should have been familiar suddenly became unfamiliar.]
[You push her to the flower branch and let her smell the scent of pollen. She smiles.]
[Walking to the end of the garden, you circled from the other side and stopped at the pavilion in the middle of the garden. The pavilion roof cast a cool shadow. You and Nakajima Reina sat in the shadow. The girl looked outside, and you looked at the girl.]
[Nakajima Reina's sight gradually moved away from the garden. She looked further away. To the southeast of the garden, she saw a small hill standing under the blue sky. The hillside was lush and green, and the sun was hanging on the top of the hill.]
[She was first surprised that there was a mountain nearby, and then she was surprised that the mountain was facing her window, but she had not noticed its existence before.]
[Tell her that it is Xiaodou Mountain.]
[The sun rose higher, and the sunlight became stronger. You pushed Nakajima Reina back to the ward.]
[Sitting back on her bed, the girl looked out the window. The familiar garden was back, but what occupied her mind was the unfamiliar perspective.]
A short memory scene appears.
"How do you feel?" Nan Youxi rested her elbows on her legs, supported her chin with her palms, and looked at the girl on the hospital bed.
"It's very hot. I haven't sweated in a long time." Reina Nakajima's answer was very realistic and resonated with people.
"Are you going tomorrow?" Nan Youxi asked again.
The girl hesitated, she didn't know whether she should go out.
"It's settled then." Nan Youxi stood up. The girl did not object, which showed that she wanted to agree.
[It was already late, you said goodbye to Nakajima Reina, returned the wheelchair to the nurse, and left the hospital. ]
[The nurse on duty at the front desk knew all the patients in the nursing home. When you and Reina Nakajima went out, she recognized you at a glance. She looked through your visit records and found that you were not visiting Reina Nakajima.]
[How did you get together? She was curious.]
[She didn't tell this to Nakajima Yohei. This unmarried nurse in her thirties still had the fantasy ability of her teenage years in her heart. She secretly observed you and Nakajima Reina, and transformed your every move into a love story in her mind.]
[Halfway through the summer vacation, the temperature has completely reached the highest level of the year, and you and Reina Nakajima still go to the garden every morning. ]
[That day, you pushed the girl back from the garden. Your back was wet and the girl's forehead was sweaty.]
[You told the girl that it was getting hotter in the morning, so why not go out to see the scenery at night. But Nakajima Yohei is here at night, so you can only use the short period of time after Nakajima Yohei leaves and before the end of visiting hours.]
[In order to accurately grasp the time when Nakajima Youhei left, you exchanged LINE with Nakajima Reina. ]
[Nakajima Yohei usually leaves half an hour in advance. This half hour is your time for night tour. ]
[During the first night tour, Nakajima Reina saw the darkness outside the door from the hall and tensed up, feeling a little nervous. But when you pushed her into the darkness, her nervousness quickly dissipated.]
[She looked at the shadows of the buildings in the dark, and the moon and stars in the sky. She could also see such scenes in the ward, but the feeling was completely different. The feeling of being wrapped in shadows and enveloped by the night was something she could not imagine no matter how hard she tried to imagine it while sitting in the bright ward.]
[While taking a short rest in the pavilion, Nakajima Reina stood up from her wheelchair. ]
Memory scenes emerge.
"It feels a bit scary at night," said Reina Nakajima.
"Then hold my hand tightly." Nan Youxi placed his right hand on her shoulder, palm facing up.
He stood behind the girl and couldn't see her face. He didn't know what she was thinking. He only knew that after five or six seconds, the girl put her hand in his palm.
It was a very slender and soft hand, and Nan Youxi held it tightly.
"Can you help me?" Nakajima Reina raised her head and looked at the chin of the boy standing behind her.
Nan Youxi continued to hold the girl's hand with one hand, and placed the other hand on the girl's shoulder to prevent the girl from losing her balance.
Reina Nakajima's body was not yet unable to stand, so she got up from the wheelchair smoothly, took two steps forward, and stood next to Minami Yuxi.
It was the first time she was so close to the boy, their shoulders were almost touching, the heat of his body seemed to penetrate the air and shine onto her. She smelled a fragrance, a mixture of men's shampoo and shower gel, and her heart beat faster.
"Have you been to that mountain over there?" She looked at the outline of Xiaodou Mountain in the dark and asked Nan Youxi.
"I haven't been there, I've only heard of it. The mountain isn't very difficult to climb. You can reach the top in more than half an hour."
“I see.”
Reina Nakajima looked at the hills in the distance, wondering what she was thinking.
"I have something for you." Nan Youxi took the girl to the corner of the pavilion and took out a plastic bag from under the bench in the pavilion.
Reina Nakajima opened the bag, and inside the bag were many snacks.
"The doctor didn't say we can't eat these, right?" Nan Youxi took out potato chips, Baumkuchen, Pocky cookies and a bottle of soda.
"I only said that the hospital's nutritious meals should be the main focus." Nakajima Reina didn't need Minami Yuki's advice, she found an excuse for herself.
"To be on the safe side, you eat some and give me the rest."
Nakajima Reina picked up the potato chips first, and the taste and flavor she had forgotten when she was a child returned to her tongue. She wondered, since when did she only eat the hospital's nutritious meals and fruits
She looked at the young man in front of her. If it weren't for him, she would have forgotten the world outside the ward.
"Would you like to try this?" Minami Yuuki held a Pocky cookie in her mouth and looked at Nakajima Reina. The long stick-like cookie swayed up and down between the boy's lips, as if urging her.
Two people eating a stick of Pocky together is a classic romance scene. Nakajima Rena has seen it many times on TV, but she never thought that this scene would happen to her.
She hesitated for a moment and raised her slender neck.
At this moment, her eyes jumped over the boy's shoulder and saw the bright lights of the sanatorium building.
She thought again of the boy in her memory named Minami Youxi who accompanied her every night even though she didn't know what he looked like.
Her neck drooped again and she did not bite the biscuit in the boy's mouth.
