Awakening

Chapter 192 Return Part 1



At this time, someone gently knocked on the door. He opened the door and saw it was Naoko. Her hands were holding a tray filled with breakfast.

“Lei, good morning.” Naoko gently smiled to him.

Receiving this kind of smile from a beautiful woman in a bright morning sun, Lei Yin felt peace in his heart.

“Where’s yours? Don’t you eat?”

“I already ate.” Naoko helped him straightened the bed sheet while replying to him.

After putting his bed in order, Naoko quietly knelt next to him, watching him eat breakfast.

“What time is it now?” After eating his breakfast, Lei Yin looked up and asked.

“About 9:30 A.M..”

Watching her ready to take the cutlery, Lei Yin held her hand, “Don’t bother with this, sit down and let us talk first.”

Naoko obediently sat in his arms.

“Did you enjoy this vacation?”

Naoko leaned her head on his chest and said: “Yes, I haven’t gone outside of Tokyo for a long time, and this makes me comfortable.”

Gently stroking her hair, Lei Yin said: “This time, there are many people with us. Next time we have the opportunity, we will go somewhere else to play, just the two of us.”

“As long as I can be together with you, it doesn’t matter even if we don’t go outside.” She put her arms around his waist and pulled herself toward him even more.

Smelling her faint delicate fragrance, Lei Yin has a soul-stirring feeling. And can’t help but tightly hugged her.

A while later, after this gentle and quiet moment was over, Lei Yin asked: “How many days have we stayed here?”

Naoko thought for a moment and then said: “If I remember correctly, there should be thirteen days.”

“So it’s almost two weeks, we should go back in two days.”

“Okay, after all, bothering people for too long is not good.”

Looking at her mouthwatering lips, Lei Yin could not help but lift her chin up and kiss her. As in the past, Naoko was gentle and slightly shy to respond to his request. Suddenly the room became tranquil again.

In the evening, Lei Yin called Brin alone outside.

In a place where there was no one else, Lei Yin pulled a piece of paper from his pocket. He then gave it to Brin along with a paper bag, “Take this.”

Brin was a bit puzzled by the things in his hand. “Mr. Gennai, these are....”

“There is a prescription written on the paper. Buy the medicine according to that prescription and injected it to your brother. Remember not to let him taste any blood or raw meat, and never let him go. You need to tie him in a bed, otherwise, there would be trouble if he runs out and kills people.”

Brin excitedly said: “Can this drug really make my brother return to normal?”

Lei Yin shook his head, “Your brother’s gene has been transformed into a half human, half animal. There is no way to bring him back just by relying on drugs. This drug is similar to a powerful sedative, and should be able to suppress his animal nature. But if this drug can’t control him anymore....” Speaking to this, his expression became very serious.

“Use ten times the dose on him so he can pass away without feeling any pain.”

Brin’s eyes were red, “Is there really no other way?”

“In today’s medical level, genetic change cannot be reversed. They’re like cancer cells which are impossible to turn them into normal cells. The best treatment is to kill or remove the diseased tissue. Moreover, even though you can successfully suppress the animal part of him, he may not think like a normal people anymore. In the end, what’s best for him is up to you to decide. For him, maybe death is a relief. There is some money in the bag for you to buy him the medicine.” With that, he slowly walked away.

Brin looked blankly at his back. After a while, he squatted on the ground and cried like a child.

When he returned to Takeda’s home, Amy and a few of Takeda’s younger cousins were playing ‘catch the firefly’ in the garden.

Hearing a couple of children’s frank and innocent laughter, Lei Yin felt a bit depressed because the matter of Brin’s brother was still heavy in his mind.

As if sensing something, Amy instinctively turned her head back just as he walked in from the outside. She immediately rushed and hugged him with great excitement.

“Lei, play “catch the firefly” with me, okay?” The little girl endearingly said.

“Ok, but you must let Naoko play with us.” Lei Yin touched her head and said.

Hearing the name Naoko, Amy suddenly pursed her small mouth and said, “No.”

Lei Yin gently pinched her face, “Didn’t you promise me yesterday to get along with her?”

Hearing his words, the little girl showed a distressed expression.

Seeing her frowning like an adult, Lei Yin almost couldn’t help laugh out loud.

After thinking for a moment, she finally somewhat reluctantly said: “Okay then, but you have to help me catch a lot of small insects, ok?”

“It’s a deal.” With that, Lei Yin outstretched his right hand toward her.

After making a big show of high-fiving with him with a serious face, which was very rare, Amy then smiled again.

Naoko’s gentle character and beautiful look can be said as lethal to people of all ages. Other than Amy, Takeda’s several younger cousins soon like this attractive and good-natured big sister. They all gathered around her, asking her to help catch the firefly. But the little girl happily wrapped herself around Lei Yin, asking for his help. The garden soon became very lively.

After they played for a while, Takeda and Yoshikawa came from the outside, each held two watermelons.

“Hey, we have watermelons here.” Takeda raised his watermelons and exclaimed.

His several younger cousins immediately gathered around him.

Lei Yin said with a smile to Naoko: “Sometimes, several imps in the garden is a good thing, at least it’s pretty lively.”

Naoko smiled, turned around and looked at them. At this time, Lei Yin did not see the hint of sadness in her eyes.

When he walked into the hall along with the other people, Lei Yin’s phone suddenly rang.

After he looked at the caller id, Lei Yin deliberately slowed down and answered the phone.

“I know, I’ll talk to you again.”

After he hung up the phone, Lei Yin revealed a thoughtful expression.

No matter where he was, Naoko’s eyes would silently follow him. Therefore, his expression this time also fell in her eyes.

After waiting for him to catch up, Naoko pulled his hand and asked him in a low voice: “Lei, what happened?”

Looking at her slightly worried eyes, Lei Yin held her hand and said: “Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal, don’t sweat about it.”

Seeing that he was not trying to comfort her, Naoko felt somewhat relieved.

“You always like to worry about things; I don’t know what to do with you.” Lei Yin held her waist as they walked to the Hall.

While walking, Naoko leaned her head against his shoulder.

At lunch the next day, Lei Yin said to Takeda: “We have stayed for many days here, it is time for us to go back.”

Takeda, who was eating his lunch, immediately looked up and said: “Why do you want to go so soon?”

“Not too soon, we have been staying here for almost half a month. I want to go back to see my family.”

Takeda doubtfully said: “This is not because of my cousin Kanoyama isn’t it?”

“That’s nonsense, if it is because of that, I would have left earlier. Why would I wait until now? I have discussed it with Naoko, we are going to go back tomorrow by plane.”

Takeda looked very disappointed, “Why don’t you stay for a few more days, there are still many fun places in Kyoto that you guys haven’t seen yet.”

“Please, don’t say I never got a chance to come here. Next summer, I am going to stay here until you force me out. As a reciprocity, don’t you have any interest to stay in my place?”,

Takeda curled his lips, “Bah, what good is there in Tokyo? When summer holiday ends, we have to get back there anyway. Why should I advance this suffering? By the way, have you booked your tickets? Yoshikawa and I will send you to the airport.”

“I have. It’s tomorrow morning’s plane.”
