Chapter 426: Chapter 289: Then Go and Say It (4000 Words)

Three days had passed since the incident with Shan Yuanmu Yuzi, and in those days, the Beichuan family’s home had seen its fair share of events.

Just a few days back, Dubian Kyoko, who had awoken from her coma, finally managed to walk with ease after two weeks of rehabilitation training.

This comforted Nakajima Michika, who hadn’t spoken much about it but was deeply concerned.

"Beichuan really is amazing," Nakajima Michika said heartily as she took a sip of her drink.

Yes, without Brother Temple’s qi therapy, Dubian Kyoko wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.

After all, the saying goes that bone and muscle injuries take a hundred days to heal, and Dubian Kyoko’s injuries from the car accident were more severe than just bone and muscle.

Being able to walk within two months was honestly a medical miracle.

"It’s a shame Sakura couldn’t come today, the doctor said she still needs rest," Nakajima Michika said with a hint of regret.

"Speaking of that, didn’t I tell you not to drink beverages?" Beichuan Si sternly took the drink from Nakajima Michika’s hand.

This older young woman really didn’t care about her own health, when her issues were currently the most serious.

"What does it matter, I’m happy today!" Nakajima Michika retorted, not backing down as her face flushed.

Then—

Beichuan Si reached out and pinched her cheeks.

His eyes shimmering, he spoke calmly, "I could rip this careless mouth of yours right now."

"Sorry, sorry!!!" Nakajima Michika cried out inarticulately.

After hearing this, Beichuan Si let go, frowned disparagingly in front of Nakajima Michika, and went to wash his fingers in the sink.

"..." Nakajima Michika.

Nakajima Michika’s lips twitched and her head shrank back, no longer daring to bicker with Beichuan Si.

She grabbed a glass of water, gulped it down indignantly, looking frustrated yet fearful.

After the water, it was time to eat.

Nakajima Michika glanced at the table.

Today, Beichuan Si prepared an abundant variety of dishes, even including the tempura he wasn’t fond of.

Though the young man with the icy demeanor rarely uttered blessings, in his heart, he was genuinely pleased for Dubian Kyoko.

Thinking this, Nakajima Michika eagerly reached out with her chopsticks toward a piece of shrimp tempura.

Snap—

Beichuan Si knocked her chopsticks aside, his expression unchanged, "Fried foods aren’t good for your current health."

"Uh..." Nakajima Michika stammered, her face turning red.

Just as she was about to speak, Beichuan Huili, seemingly deep in thought, asked from the other side,

"By the way, Brother Temple, I heard Kyubei recently has their annual camping activity, right?"

Beichuan Si put the shrimp tempura into his bowl, replying nonchalantly, "Is that so?"

He never paid much attention to school events, attending only if he couldn’t avoid it.

"They hold it every year, these camping activities," Beichuan Huili said, touching her head.

Why did it seem like her elder brother, who had spent more time in Kyubei than she had, looked as if he was hearing this for the first time?

"What’s it about? Tell me," Beichuan Si asked.

"Um, it’s like a study intensive camp," Beichuan Huili responded, feeling her chin and then pointing with her chopsticks to the calendar on the table, "It’s April twenty-second today, and the forest camp starts from the twenty-fourth until the morning of the twenty-seventh when we return. You know what day comes after that, right, Brother Temple?"

"Golden Week?" Beichuan Si raised an eyebrow.

Talking about May, that would inevitably be the Golden Week starting on April twenty-ninth.

It’s a chain of small holidays, similar in concept to China’s May Day holiday, but Japan’s Golden Week starts not from May.

Beginning with Showa Day on April 29, continuing to Boys’ Day on May 5, these seven days are known as Japan’s Golden Week.

As it includes public holidays, many people go shopping or travel.

These seven days significantly boost Japan’s economy, hence the name ’Golden Week.’

Moreover, this year’s Golden Week was different from before, since a new holiday act and subsequent compensatory holidays were confirmed, this year’s "May Golden Week" is from April twenty-seventh to May sixth.

"That means this year’s Golden Week is not just seven days off, but a luxurious ten consecutive days," Beichuan Huili said with excitement, her tone growing fervent, "Ten days of holiday! It’s like having another spring break!"

Beichuan Si glanced sideways at Beichuan Huili, thought for a moment, then spoke, "What’s the use of ten days off? You’ll still just laze around at home, wishing you were back in school."

"..." Beichuan Huili, after hearing this, instinctively wanted to retort, but no matter how much she thought, she couldn’t refute Beichuan Si’s words.

Because he was telling the truth.

Firstly, her five best friends were all traveling with their families, so spending the holiday together was out of the question.

Besides painting and doing homework during those ten days—

It seemed she really had no serious matters to attend to.

From the moment Beichuan Si spoke, until now, Beichuan Huili’s excitement had transformed into a weary expression, all in the span of just a few words.
