Zongman: Hong Kong's black ceiling but autistic, what should I do?
Chapter 52: A Belated Apology
Yosano Akiko took the dirty Mori Yuki home, prepared hot water for Mori Yuki, and let Mori Yuki wash herself while she searched through the closet for clothes that would suit Mori Yuki.
Yosano Akiko found the clothes she wore when she was ten years old in the corner, and roughly compared them. They should be similar.
Yosano Akiko put her clothes outside the bathroom and called out to Mori Yuki inside:
"Xiaoxue, I've found some clothes for you and put them outside. You can wear my old clothes first, and I'll take you to buy new ones tomorrow. I'll help you take out the old clothes you wore before and throw them away. Don't wear these tattered clothes anymore!"
Mori Yuki was still a little dizzy in the bathroom. When she heard what Yosano Akiko said, she just responded reflexively. Her brain had not yet understood what Yosano Akiko meant.
Yosano Akiko was afraid that the things Mori Yuki brought with her would be hidden in her clothes and thrown away with her, so she pinched her nose and searched through the pile of stinking clothes.
A piece of transparent plastic paper neatly folded into a block, a rotten orange with bugs crawling inside, a piece of moldy unknown meat, a used chopstick with wooden thorns...
Yosano Akiko felt that her previous guess was completely wrong. It seemed that Mori Yuki had been wandering for a long time and had even fallen to the point of "stealing" garbage from the garbage truck. There must be nothing precious in it.
Yosano Akiko sighed at the pile of garbage. Just as she was about to pick up all the "junk" and throw it into the trash can downstairs, she suddenly felt something fall out of her clothes.
Yosano Akiko picked up the object on the ground and took a closer look. It was a snowflake brooch carefully wrapped in bubble wrap.
"Looks familiar..."
Yosano Akiko looked at the brooch and thought carefully, and suddenly remembered that when "that incident" happened two years ago, Mori Yuki seemed to have a snowflake brooch like this on her chest.
Thinking about what happened two years ago, Yosano Akiko felt a little depressed.
Yosano Akiko lowered her eyes and continued to search through the "junk pile" that she had originally planned to throw away. After confirming that the other things were broken and rotten garbage, Yosano Akiko asked Mori Yuki in the bathroom:
"Xiaoxue, besides the brooch, do you have anything else that's important? If not, I'll throw them all away!"
Mori Yuki in the bathroom had regained consciousness, and after hearing Yosano Akiko's question, she responded:
"All..." All are important, all are my treasures, don't lose them...
"Okay, nothing else important, I'm going to take out the trash, I'll be back soon."
Yosano Akiko's cruel words reached Mori Yuki's ears from outside the bathroom.
"Um...bye."
Mori Yuki lowered his head and said goodbye in a low voice. It was unknown whether he was saying goodbye to Yosano Akiko or his "treasures".
When Yosano Akiko came back, Mori Yuki had already put on her clothes and came out of the bathroom.
Yosano Akiko carefully pinned the snowflake brooch on Mori Yuki's chest.
Mori Xue is now wearing a gray shirt, a loose white knitted sweater, and black tight trousers.
I don’t know if it’s because Mori Yuki has been wandering outside for a while, but Mori Yuki, who is already eleven years old, is even smaller than when Yosano Akiko was ten years old, so Mori Yuki now looks like she is wearing loose clothes that don’t fit her at all.
Yosano Akiko's eyes were slightly red. She looked at Mori Xue, took Mori Xue's hand, brought Mori Xue to the dining table, opened the bread she had bought from the convenience store, handed it to Mori Xue, and said distressedly:
"You must be starving. Come eat quickly. I've been busy lately, so I've only used bread to make do. This is all I have at home. I'll take you to eat something delicious tomorrow."
Yosano Akiko watched Mori Yuki take the bread from her hand and chew it obediently. She patted Mori Yuki's head and said:
"I'll take you to the mall to buy some daily necessities tomorrow. I'm currently studying under a highly respected teacher, and sometimes I also help him and other colleagues with some part-time jobs, so I have enough living expenses. Xiaoxue, tell me if you see anything you want tomorrow.
Tomorrow afternoon, Mr. Fukuzawa will be back, Xiaoxue, I want to take you to see him...is that ok?"
Although Yosano Akiko knew that Mori Yuki would not refuse anyone's orders, just like she completely obeyed her angry words two years ago, she still asked Mori Yuki's opinion.
Mori Xue nodded and continued to chew the bread.
Yosano Akiko stood up, went to the kitchen, poured a cup of warm water for Mori Xue, placed it in front of Mori Xue, and said:
"Drink some water, don't choke."
Sen Xue picked up the water cup and took a sip, then continued to gnaw on the bread in her hand.
Yosano Akiko looked at Mori Yuki and he was still the same as before. He would only move when she said something. She secretly sighed in her heart that Xiaoxue had not changed at all.
Yosano Akiko watched Mori Yuki finish her bread, and finally couldn't help asking the question she had been wanting to ask:
"Xiaoxue, what on earth have you been through during this period? Why did you end up in the garbage truck?"
Mori Yuki looked at Yosano Akiko, thinking about how to use her poor language system to describe the many things that happened in the past two years, and then slowly said:
"Experiment... Boom Boom... Nanami... Village Chief... River... Cat..."
"..."
"...Is...Is that so? Xiaoxue has had a lot of experiences in the past two years..."
Although Yosano Akiko did not understand what Mori Yuki said, she could roughly guess that something happened in the laboratory that caused Xiaoxue to escape, and then she wandered all the way and met herself.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxue..."
Yosano Akiko looked at Mori Yuki's somewhat thin face and sighed with heartache.
Mori Yuki shook her head and suddenly noticed that Yosano Akiko had become very serious.
"Jingzi?" Do you have anything to say?
Yosano Akiko looked at Mori Yuki and said to her seriously:
"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry. I apologize for what I said to you two years ago. At that time, I was just... forget it. I was wrong and there was no reason. I failed to adjust my mentality and hurt Xiaoxue who cared about me.
I have always felt guilty for the past two years. After being rescued from the confinement room by Fukuzawa-sensei and others, I have been immersed in pain and regret. However, Ranpo-sensei told me that I would definitely be able to see Xiaoxue again and apologize to you in person, so I have been waiting until now with this expectation.
Xiaoxue, it doesn’t matter if you don’t forgive me. I’m willing to do whatever you want to do to me.
I know that Xiaoxue, you don’t understand emotions very well now, so my apology and promise will always be valid. When you are able to understand emotions in the future, I will be willing to bear it even if you dislike me and hate me.
I... woo..."
Mori Xue watched as Yosano Akiko suddenly covered her face and started crying, so she quickly jumped off the chair, ran to Yosano Akiko, hugged Yosano Akiko, and patted Yosano Akiko's back with her right hand:
"Jingzi, don't cry...forgive me..." Jingzi, don't cry, I forgive you
"Wow, Xiaoxue, thank you, woooo..."
Yosano Akiko hugged Mori Yuki back, but her tears couldn't stop flowing.
Yosano Akiko cried until late at night before she slowly stopped.
After calming down, Yosano Akiko's cheeks turned slightly red, perhaps because of the crying she had just done or because she had revealed her vulnerable and embarrassing side in front of Mori Yuki.
Still a little shy, Yosano Akiko said nothing. She stood up, took out the spare bedding from the cupboard and put it in the guest room. After tidying it up, she asked Mori Xue to rest.
After confirming that Sen Xue was not secretly laughing at his behavior, he breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the bedroom to rest, and looked forward to tomorrow.
