Awakening

Knowing that those students who have been missing for several days have all been found, the leadership of Teikyo University and the Officials of the Tokyo Maritime Safety Administration finally felt relieved.

At the main gate of a large public Hospital in Kagoshima City, many reporters were piling around to get an interview. Because this was the Hospital where the authority put those students and tourists who were on the missing ferries.

At the Hotel where the Teikyo University students were staying, outside the third floor’s balcony, two people, a young man, and a young woman were talking.

“Where is Amy?”

“She completed the general check up in the hospital this morning, and now she is sleeping in my room?”

“I know my brother would come back safely.” Kazumi walked up to him and then gently leaned on his arm.

“I am sorry, for letting you worry about me.”

“I am okay as long as brother is safe and well.” Kazumi looked up to him and smiled.

But then, she suddenly remembered something. She stared right into his eyes, “Brother, I have something to ask you.”

“About Naoko?”

“Yes.” Since several days ago, when Naoko took a plane from Tokyo to come here especially to inquire about the news of her elder brother, Kazumi immediately knew that the relationship between Naoko and her brother was not as simple as the relationship between student and teacher.

“As you might have guessed it, she is you future sister in law.” Lei Yin said straight-facedly.

Although she already guessed it, hearing his answer, her heart could not help but turn cold.

“When did this happen?”

“Two years ago. I didn’t mean to deceive you. It’s just Naoko has not sufficiently prepared to meet you yet. Even Maeda only knew it by chance.”

Kazumi did not say anything. She was still digesting the impact of this news.

After a while, she said: “Then what about Rumi? You should have known of her feelings toward you.”

Lei Yin slowly leaned on the balcony railing, “She is just a child. I know she has some degree of goodwill toward me. But girls at her age having a certain degree of goodwill toward the opposite sex is very common. I have yet to tell her this in order not to affect her study. After all, she is trying hard to prepare for the college entrance exams so I don’t want her to be distracted by other things.”

Kazumi nervously took his hand and said: “Brother, that’s not true. The feelings that Rumi has for you is definitely not as simple as you think, she is....” Before she finished her words, Lei Yin’s phone suddenly rang.

Lei Yin pulled out his phone, looked at the caller’s name, and immediately pressed the answer key.

“I am on the balcony outside your room. I am going back there, wait for me at the room.”

After he put his phone back in his pocket, Lei Yin apologetically said to Kazumi: “Naoko woke up, I need to go back.”

Kazumi has to nod her head.

When Lei Yin walked into her room, “Lei!” When she saw him, Naoko immediately rushed into his arms, her two arms firmly clung onto him.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m right here.” Lei Yin put his arms around her and gently comforted her with a soothing voice.

“I, I just had a nightmare, dreaming that you were washed away by the sea, but when I woke up and can’t see you....” Naoko tearfully looked at him.

After he picked her up and then sat on the bed, Lei Yin put her in his arms and gently stroke her back, “Don’t worry, I have come back.”

Smelling the familiar breath of her lover, Naoko began to slowly calm down.

“Lei, I am really scared. I was afraid you won’t come back again.” Naoko said, as she gently sobbed. A few days ago, she saw the news that there were visitors missing at Kagoshima because of a storm. At the time, she had a very bad feeling about it. So she hurried to call his cellphone, but couldn’t get through. By the time she came here by plane, she knew from his sister that his ship was caught in a storm and went missing. In the past few days, she and Kazumi have to helplessly endure the torment of burning-like worry. With each passing day, her heart would become a little bit desperate. This sense of never ending despair almost made her suffer a relapse.

At this time, all words were powerless. Lei Yin can only hold her in his arms tightly, letting her feel his presence.

After she recovered, Lei Yin kissed her left cheek, “Hungry? Come with me to eat, ok?”

“Em.” Naoko gently complied near his ear.

After several people sat down, two people, Takeda and Take Asasei were unblinkingly staring at Naoko. Lei Yin had to cough a bit loudly before the two people reacted and quickly pretended to look at the menu, and did not dare to look up again.

He turned to the flushed Naoko and said: “What do you want to eat?”

“Why don’t you choose them for me.” Naoko did not dare to raise her head and whispered.

“What about the steak? The black beef here is quite famous.”

“Ok.” Naoko docilely replied.

Lei Yin also said to the nearby Amy: “Kid, what do you want to eat? You also want the steak?”

The little girl immediately opened her mouth: “I don’t want it.”

“Don’t you usually like to eat the beef steak here? Forget it, what about their package meal?”

“Ok.” Taking advantage while Lei Yin did not pay attention, the little girl gave Naoko, who was sitting on the other side of Lei Yin, a single glare.

After finishing their respective meal, Takeda said: “Masashi, did your family know that you were missing?”

“Yes, I heard from Kazumi that after they heard the news yesterday, they immediately phoned her and planned to take the plane today. But on the phone, I managed to urge them not to come.”

“I never thought this kind of thing could really happen. Fortunately, you came back safely, Kazumi was worried about your safety for days.” Take Asasei said.

“Gee, being drifted on the sea and cast away on a deserted island, that’s a really exciting adventure. If I knew this would happen, I would have sat with you on that boat.” Takeda’s face revealed a regret expression.

“If this happens to you, you wouldn’t be smiling like that. Where is Yoshikawa?”

“He went to the hospital to accompany Haruko. But I heard that Haruko’s family came to visit her, so that guy probably won’t have a chance to visit her in her ward.”

When they were talking, the other students who were also eating at the dining hall, couldn’t help but, once in awhile, involuntarily focus their eyes on Naoko.

The sudden appearance of this beautiful woman around the “human weapon” made all of them jealous. Compared to her, Narimura Haruko and Mingyu Jizi were obviously significantly inferior.

The gap between them was not just in the appearance or figure, the main thing was, they lacked her indescribable mature feminine character and style.

The skin on her exposed hands and feet were smooth and creamy, and her face was stunningly beautiful. Her elegant and reserved temperament was completely incompatible with her hot body. Coupled with her gentle and supple attitude, all of them firmly attracted everyone’s attention.

Not only the boys who were envy and jealous of Lei Yin, even the pretty girls felt a great sense of threat.

“Who is that woman?” Mingyu Jizi who sat at a distance asked.

“I don’t know, maybe she is Gennai Masashi’s sister.” A boy sitting next to her answered.

“Humph, a seductress.” Mingyu Jizi said with a sneer.
