Chapter 20 Vacation

Beneath, bee, bee.

"Please come in." Okamoto Dousuke, wearing a striped hospital gown, was lying on the bed, looking towards the direction of the ward door.

With a creak, the door handle turned and the door opened.

Kick~kick.

A familiar kicking sound was heard, and a young girl in an orange short-sleeved shirt walked in. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, with the ends of her hair slightly curled up. She looked solemn yet a little playful and cute, and she had a brown lunch box on her arm.

"You're here, Sister Tachie." Okamoto Dousuke greeted the approaching girl.

"Huh? Why are you sitting up? Doesn't your wound hurt anymore?" Hinata Tachie asked with concern while taking out delicious dishes from the food box and filling the table in front of Okamoto Dousuke.

"It's okay, Sister Tachie. I'm a doctor myself, and I know the specific situation." Okamoto Dousuke answered while looking at the food that Hinata Tachie placed on the table.

"Okay, eat quickly. I have to go see Captain Nakajima and Takuto later." Hinata Tachie urged.

Hinata Tachie stayed in the hospital for a few days and then was discharged.

She did not suffer any serious external injuries. Apart from being stabbed by the steel needle containing the lizard's gland fluid by the second Yang Cang, there were no other serious external injuries on her body. Most of them were various abrasions.

So Hinata Tateie was discharged from the hospital yesterday. In her words, she couldn't stand the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

After being discharged from the hospital, Hinata Tateie, who had nothing to do, started preparing lunch for Okamoto Dousuke.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, Okamoto Dousuke couldn't help but say, "Sister Tachie, this is too much. You must have gone to so many stores to buy it. It's too expensive for you."

"Hee, hee, hee" Hinata Ritie covered her mouth with her white and tender little hands and laughed.

"It didn't cost any money, I made all of these myself. Dousuke," Hinata Ritsu said with a little pride.

Okamoto Dousuke instantly felt that his three views were challenged. He didn't expect that Hyuga Ritsu had such a side.

Are these the children of a big family? They can fight in battles, take care of their husbands and children, and be good at both being a lady in the living room and a cook in the kitchen.

"Wow, it's delicious." Picking up the food with chopsticks and taking a big bite, Okamoto Dousuke couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Hinata Ritsu and praise him.

"I didn't expect that you could actually cook, Sister Lihui, and that your cooking was so delicious."

"It's nothing. This is a compulsory course in the family tradition. Girls must learn it from a young age. Especially girls from branch families." When talking about branch families, Hinata Tachie's tone paused for a moment, and then she continued.

"In the Hyuga clan, girls will be assigned a fiancé at the age of 15. So we have been learning these practices and skills of taking care of the family since childhood." Hyuga Ritsu explained with a slightly heavy look in her eyes.

"Eat quickly, because after you finish I have to go see Captain Nakajima and Takuto." Hinata Ritsu said as Okamoto Dousuke stared at him and couldn't help but urge him.

After saying that, Hinata Ritsuie sat down next to Okamoto Dousuke, with her white arms raised up, her elbows resting on her thighs, her waist slightly bent downward, her body leaning forward, her hands put together, supporting her head.

Hinata Tateie, who was sitting on the hospital bed, had her legs hanging in the air because of her height.

The two calves swayed back and forth, and under the midday sun, the delicate calves like white jade were particularly dazzling.

The clogs, which were tightly hung on the toes, made a scraping sound as the base of the clogs dragged on the ground as the jade-like calves swayed.

Use the big toes and middle fingers of both feet to pinch the remaining nose rope (the two herringbone-shaped ropes on the clogs) tightly.

With such force, the pink cardamom turned slightly white.

"Eat quickly, stop looking." Seeing that Okamoto Dousuke was staring at her, Hinata Ritsu slapped Okamoto Dousuke on the shoulder.

"Eat, eat. I have to eat more. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat after Sister Tachie gets married." Okamoto Dousuke said with a chuckle.

"I'm twelve years old this year, and now I'm a Chunin. If I can't be promoted to Jonin, the family should assign a fiancé to me when I'm fifteen. If I'm lucky, it might be the main family. If I'm unlucky, it might be a branch family." Hinata Tachie said with a tone of disappointment and helplessness.

Looking at the lonely Hyuga Ritsu, Okamoto Dousuke felt his heart move.

"Don't worry, Sister Ritsuie, you will definitely become a jonin. Not only will you be able to become a jonin, but you will be able to make your own decisions in the future." Okamoto Dousuke said firmly.

"Haha, thank you very much, Dousuke." Hinata Ritsu couldn't help laughing when he saw Dousuke Okamoto making a serious promise with rice grains on the corners of his mouth.

"Wait a moment." Hinata Ritie called out to Okamoto Dousuke who was about to bury his head in his food again.

He leaned over, stretched out his right hand and gently wiped the corner of Okamoto Dousuke's mouth.

Okamoto Dousuke looked at the girl approaching him and felt a ripple in his heart.

The girl's fair and clean face was getting closer and closer to him.

When Hinata Tachi's right hand passed over her lips, a numbing feeling surged from the corner of her mouth into her heart.

"Doujie, I brought you some delicious food!"

bump.

The door of the ward was roughly opened from the outside. A petite figure appeared at the door of the ward.

The purple dress makes Yukino look like a completely different person than when she's usually in a nurse's uniform. Yukino looks solemn and serious when she's in a nurse's uniform.

Now the purple dress makes the usually serious Yuino look more lively and cute. Even the sunlight shining in the room seems more warm in the vitality of purple.

The hair that was usually tied up and hidden in the nurse's cap was now tied into two ponytails. It seemed to sense the owner's mood and kept jumping and swaying behind the head.

Yuino appeared at the door carrying a plastic lunch box.

"You...you...you..." Looking at Hinata Ritsu who was wiping the corner of Okamoto Dousuke's mouth, Yuino suddenly began to stutter.

As if sensing its owner's mood, the two bouncing ponytails finally dropped quietly and rested quietly behind the head.

"So... Dousuke, you've already... eaten... ..." Looking at the table full of food, Yuino's speech was a little incoherent.

"Sister Yuino." Okamoto Dousuke called out.

"Oh, I'll go see if Dr. An Yuan has eaten. You should eat quickly. Doujie!" After saying that, Yuino closed the door.

Tap, tap, tap, listening to the footsteps coming from outside the door, Okamoto Dousuke couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.

"I didn't expect that little brother Dousuke is so popular." Hinata Tachie stood up and said with a forced smile.

"Colleague, that was my colleague when I was working in the hospital," Okamoto Dousuke explained, although he didn't know why he had to explain.

"Hmph!" Hinata Ritsuie ignored him.

"I'll go see Captain Nakajima and Takuto, you take your time eating." After saying that, Hinata Tachibana picked up the food box beside her, turned around and walked out.

"I'll go with you. Sister Tachie, please wait for me." Okamoto Dousuke said as he took two big mouthfuls of rice.
