[Free!True Haruka Rin Haruka] The end of the landscape [Multi-line ending]

After leaving Matsuoka's mother's ward, Jiang said he wanted to go home, so he left first.Nanase Haruka and Matsuoka Rin were led by a nurse to the reception room, where Brother Watanabe was waiting for them.

"Ah, I know, you must still have a lot of questions to ask." Seeing them sitting on the sofa, Watanabe Yamato pushed the plate on the coffee table towards the two of them, "I understand, I understand. But the meal also needs What to eat?... In this way, you can eat while listening to me!"

Watanabe Yamato thought about it, and finally... decided to start with his own family history.

Back then, he stayed in China with his father, but because of financial constraints, he stopped swimming for a while.But my father was lucky, and soon found a new job, and his life gradually stabilized.After entering high school, he re-joined the school's swimming department, and with his own strength, he was successfully admitted to the sports school that Mr. Matsuoka had attended that year. Finally, he passed many selections and became a member of the national team.After retiring, while becoming the gold medal coach of the national team, he and a few friends jointly invested to buy the closed club, refurbished it and opened it, and began to cultivate rising stars in the swimming world.Soon, he also found Matsumoto, who had retired and returned to his hometown, and invited him to teach in his club.

As for Yukino...

"I don't want anyone to give up their dreams because of injuries."

So, he decided to study medicine.

"After Yajian went abroad, we haven't seen each other for many years, and we hardly correspond. Well... I know he's still blaming me." Yamato Watanabe sighed, drank his tea, and deliberately pretended not to notice the glances from the man around him. Dao, "I can really understand his feelings. But later, when I found out that the villa I used to live in was for sale again... I went to buy it immediately. Anyway, there... After all, it was our former home. s home……"

The opportunity for the two to resume contact is precisely because of the descendants of the Matsuoka family... Rin Matsuoka.

After obtaining a doctor's degree in medicine abroad, Xue Ye became famous because he cured an athlete's spinal disease and helped him return to his sports career.However, he rejected invitations from several large foreign hospitals and returned to China to open this "Xueye Orthopedic General Hospital".But at that time, Watanabe only knew that his younger brother was back, but no one took the initiative to contact him, but kept a tacit distance in the same city.

In the end, Rin unexpectedly came to the door.

In fact, Xue Ye had been silently paying attention to this descendant of the Matsuoka family.So when he came to the door and took the initiative to make an appointment for an inspection, Xue Ye was surprised and wondered if Watanabe had told him something.He wanted to receive it in person, but because he was temporarily notified of an emergency meeting in the United States, he had to hand over the inspection to his assistant.

"...Actually, your condition was not serious at that time, but I didn't expect it to deteriorate so quickly." Speaking of this, Xue Ye pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, "When I saw that scene on TV, I I see, you definitely didn't take my assistant's warning to heart."

His expression couldn't be seen clearly behind the reflective glasses, but Rin could still feel the sharp gaze, which made him uncomfortable.

"Hey...! Let me tell you, you obviously violated the agreement, right? I said I would delete the diagnostic information—"

"Oh? Fortunately, it wasn't deleted." Xue Ye's glasses flashed, "If you delete it, how can I help that guy make a special training plan for you? Otherwise, you think you can really support it according to the intensity of your previous training game?"

The fact is just like what Xue Ye said, if the assistant did not listen to the patient's request, but contacted the professor in time and sent the diagnosis result by email... Xue Ye would not have called Watanabe for the first time in several years. He also scolded him head and face.

"No wonder Nanase-kun told me the wrong time..."

"Huh? I don't care what that is. I just want to ask, what are you going to do?"

……

"...That guy's decision makes me very upset, but I have no right to interfere. I am just a doctor, and I can only provide corresponding medical services according to the patient's requirements. Since the patient gave up the treatment, I have no reason to say anything. To It's not because of Mr. Matsuoka...for your father's sake, I didn't care about it long ago." Xue Ye said, crossing his arms on his chest, and sneered twice, "I also warned him a long time ago that doing so would be of no benefit to the patient. , the problem will only become more and more serious... Especially, you secretly added lessons to yourself, and you didn't follow the training plan that guy gave you." His words without a trace of warmth became more and more severe, "Originally, I I only promised to stabilize your condition, and the neurological drugs prescribed by the assistant will also have a certain effect. But you... don't appreciate it at all."

Hearing this, Rin was speechless for a moment.He wanted to refute, but the words came to his lips but couldn't come out.

He had no choice at all.If you can't make it to the finals...

"I know, so all the responsibilities must be borne by that guy." As if seeing through Rin's heart, Yukino snorted, and glanced sideways at the man beside him, "As your full-time coach, but Let you go your own way... the consequences of this kind of gambling can only be borne by yourself."

Watanabe didn't speak, and Rin had nothing to say.He was silent, and slowly put down his chopsticks, a wry smile gradually appeared on his lips.

Xue Ye was right.But what if things have come to this?Life will not come back.What's more, even if he did it again, he might still gamble everything and fight hard...

"... Rin has worked very hard, please don't negate his efforts casually." Haruka suddenly put down his chopsticks and spoke.

It's also a calm voice, but completely different from Xue Ye's emotionless voice.Rin's heart warmed, and he couldn't help but put down the bowl and chopsticks, stretched out his right hand, and held the left hand hanging by Yao's side.

Seeing this, Xue Yeya couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, she seemed to laugh slightly.But it could also be an illusion.Then he cleared his throat and spoke again:

"Speaking of which, Mr. Matsuoka, when I come back this time, besides borrowing the relationship of my friends in the medical field to come here to treat Mrs. Matsuoka in the name of expert consultation, there is one more thing." He paused, took off his glasses and wiped them. Shit, "Remember what I said, I decided to study medicine in the first place. So..."

He raised his head, this time without the obstruction of the glasses, his sharp gaze fell directly on Rin's body.

"Maybe your problem can still be helped."

Rin was stunned.Haruka opened his eyes wide.

"What... what do you mean—"

"It means that there may be a chance for you to return to the game and continue to compete!" Watanabe replied, "Actually, I want to ask you about your situation after I finish dealing with the matter at hand. Who knows? After searching around for a long time, I found that he was actually hiding here...! Well... Anyway, I rushed over right away and showed him your medical records. He studied it carefully and said... maybe there is still a way."

"...Yes. However, there are risks." Xue Ye nodded, and his penetrating gaze went straight into the pair of red pupils, "Of course, any operation has risks, not to mention that this is a relatively advanced technology that has not yet been clinically applied." The precedent of this... Ah, you don't understand so much. In short, the best result is that you can continue to be your gold medalist. As for the worst..." He paused, "I can only guarantee that I will Do your best."

Looking at the flickering eyes of the young man, he paused, and then added something expressionless.

"I declare in advance that because this operation is still in the experimental stage, I will not make any written promises, and you will be responsible for all the consequences. Therefore, you have to think carefully. Whether you want to do it or not is up to you to decide."

Rin didn't speak.Neither answered right away nor pressed for details.Yao looked at him sideways, his eyes flickering slightly.

***

After the meal, the two young men watched Watanabe drive Xue Ye out of the hospital.Because Matsuoka's mother has woken up and her condition is no longer serious, Xue Ye's mission here is considered complete, so she must rush back to Kyoto as soon as possible...to help my brother deal with the club.

Xue Ye's explanation for this move was: "I don't want to see some idiot sell the villa again. For this, I can consider helping him."

In fact, Xue Ye is already the largest shareholder of the club.

In fact, in the past few years, he has been secretly entrusting people to buy shares in the club.This incident caused great damage to the club's reputation. Members withdrew one after another on the grounds of "unfair treatment" or "health insecurity". After the shareholders drove Watanabe away, they couldn't settle, and gradually withdrew their capital and transferred to other places, leaving only Matsumoto. Waiting for a few veterans to still guard the industry.Xue Ye took the opportunity to buy a large amount of shares and quietly became the first shareholder of the club.

However, Watanabe suddenly discovered the above-mentioned process when he brought people back to Kyoto, and he couldn't help shouting, "If I knew it, I wouldn't have to travel around the world to raise money——!"

But that's all for later.

"As for your answer," before leaving, Yukino looked at Rin and left a sentence, "I'll give you time to think it over carefully. Give me an answer when you return to Kyoto."

After that, Matsuoka Jiang came back and said that the room at home had been cleaned up, and Rin and Yao went back to rest first, and she continued to stay in the hospital to accompany her.Without further excuses, the two of them walked back slowly under the moonlight.I don't know if he is still immersed in the successive changes tonight, or he is thinking about the answer to Yukino, Rin has been silent all the time, and Haruka has been speechless all the way.The two just held each other's hands and returned to their long-awaited home.

That night, Rin had a dream.

In the dream, he returned to his childhood, and saw that figure again on the dusk pier that he used to go to almost every day when he was a child—the skin with a healthy color like wheat, short dark date-colored hair, and cheerful eyes...

It's still the same as in memory.

is his father.

——Yo, Rin!

Are you here to pick me up?

He watched his father jump off a boat, holding two big fish in his hands, and smiled brightly at him.

He was only stunned for a moment, then immediately trotted up to meet him, and plunged into his father's arms.

——Hey, don’t you hate the fishy smell on my body the most?It's rare to be so active!

Did something happen?

His father held the fish in one hand and led him forward with the other, but he couldn't speak.

The footsteps stopped suddenly.

——Hey, Rin.

Look up and look at me.

He hesitated for a while, then raised his head obediently, and his father was also bending down slightly, looking at him seriously.

—Are you still feeling sorry for me, kid?

This is not like you, who usually look domineering.

Rin still didn't speak.He just stared at the person in front of him without blinking, as if he wanted to firmly engrave this almost blurred figure in his mind.

--I see……

Do you know all about it?

His father looked at his face, and suddenly smiled slowly.He stretched out his empty palm and rubbed Rin's fiery red soft hair vigorously.

——As I said, maybe when you grow up, you will understand...

So, you have grown up.

The father smiled, and suddenly lifted the fish up to him.

—Hey, see the big fish I caught?It's so hard to get it, it's so big.

It's a pity you don't like fish.

Saying this, the father laughed and took the big fish away, and rubbed his hair again.

——I want to tell you that I really love this kind of life.Even if this is completely different from my childhood dream, it is also the ideal life I am pursuing.

All in all, I have never regretted this decision.At the same time, I have never regretted the efforts I have made.Maybe I did not realize my original dream, but this process of sweat and youth itself is my harvest.

Your father and I are definitely not a loser!

After a pause, his father stretched out his thumb and wiped Rin's wet eyes.

--Silly boy.Manly man, don't cry at every turn.

For me, everything is worth it, no matter which way it is, it is my own choice.Whether it was in the past, as an athlete, training hard day and night for rankings and medals, or now, living in the name of an excellent fisherman, a reliable husband, and a great dad...it's the same.

Nothing to do with anyone.This is the life that really belongs to me.

Rin blinked, tears still falling uncontrollably.And the father's words continued.

——It’s still the same sentence, Rin. "When you are confused, stop and ask your own heart."

Figure out what it is you really want.Do you really want to do this from the bottom of your heart, or is it for some reason or another.

I have always believed that the best can only be achieved by doing what you love from the heart.Only when you experience the joy that is impossible in doing anything else, will you have the energy and enthusiasm to go on without hesitation.

Rin, I hope you can find your own "dream", not the hope, expectation or blessing imposed on you by anyone else.I also hope that this "dream" can become your guiding light, and lead you to find what truly belongs to you, the meaning of life.

Ask your heart...?

Find out your true heart and find your own... true "dream".

His father's words echoed in his ears, and Rin seemed to understand a little bit.He wiped the corners of his eyes, raised his head again, and wanted to say something to his father...

Nothing in sight.The surrounding scenery that was covered with yellow due to the setting sun was also fleeting, including the tall and burly figure.

……

He woke up.

The morning breeze in the clear autumn slightly lifted the curtains, and the pale light lightened the darkness of the room.

This is my mother's room.

Rin just lay there straight, staring at the familiar ceiling in a daze.After a while, he raised the back of his hand across his face, feeling wet.At this time, a slight breathing sound came from the side of his ear with a warm breath, he was stunned, and turned his head away.

It's... remote.

Yao nestled on the side of his neck and fell asleep peacefully.

Rin stared at this sleeping face ecstatically for a long time, his eyes gradually changed from floating and restless to gentle and stable.Finally, he turned sideways, stretched out his arms to hug the lover beside him, brushed away his black and soft hair, leaned forward lightly, and kissed him.

***

The evening before leaving Sano, Nanase Haruka supported Rin and came to the foot of Myojin Mountain again, in front of the tombstone on the high cliff by the sea.After letting go of Haruka's hand, Rin stepped forward alone, staring at his father's tombstone in silence for a long time, then stretched out a fist and lightly touched the slightly cold stone tablet.

From beginning to end, Rin only said one word.

"Back then... sorry. But I thought, I finally found it. Thank you, Dad."

After a while, Rin took Yao's arm and led him towards the edge of the cliff.

It is the hour of dusk at sea.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed half of the sky orange, and seabirds spread their wings and shuttled among the clouds, making long calls from time to time.The tide of the sea covered with a little twilight is surging, accompanied by the sound of the waves hitting the rocks, the ups and downs show the eternal vitality.

The two stood facing the setting sun and sea breeze like this.After a long silence, Rin let out a low laugh.

"Hey, Yao," he covered his forehead with his hands, and looked towards the end of the sea and sky, "is it beautiful, this scenery?"

"……Um."

"It's the setting sun. But," Rin said thoughtfully, "Tomorrow, the sun will rise from here again, and a new day will always start as usual."

Haruka looked at him in confusion, and Rin happened to turn his head too.The four eyes met, and Yao felt a heat on his face, and could not help but subconsciously look away.The next moment, Rin's arm came up and hooked his shoulder.

"cold?"

"Ha, it's nothing, let's go back." Rin leaned close to his ear, and said with a smile, "Anyway, it starts tomorrow, so I don't want to sleep too late."
