Chapter 436 Coquetry
Time: March 2018, 10
Location: Inside the Yumenjiang Villa
Event: Fushiguro Shiori didn't reply to my letter
I pressed the lock screen button.
Let’s not talk about the reason why he didn’t reply to me for now. I have more important things to do.
It turns out that these days, it’s useless to rely on anyone else, and in the end you still have to rely on yourself.
Xia Youjie sat by the bed and looked at me, just like a violinist playing the strings, a pianist strumming his black and white keys, a dancer dancing under the lights, and he was looking at me intently.
There is no sunlight inside the prison gate, and neither the sun nor the moon can shine in. However, a bright lamp is hung at the top, imitating the setting of the sun and the moon, changing the brightness every three hours, and changing the color tone every 12 hours.
I have to say that all aspects are considered very considerately.
At this moment, the warmer light dimmed, and the cool light sprinkled on his side face outlined by the black hair, passing through the screen window, casting wisps of shadows. He was clearly smiling with his lips curled, but for no reason he reflected a sense of brokenness and loneliness.
I couldn't help but think of the rainy night before I left in the first week.
In the early spring that was half cold with winter, the drizzle fell like transparent needles and threads. The wind blew through the empty forests. Birds called a few times, bringing only distant echoes. Xia Youjie stood in front of the lonely village, and seemed to be looking at me with the same eyes.
Then, he smiled and said to me, "How about one last goodbye hug?"
Most of the time, I felt that he was unhappy.
Even now, when he said "I want you to stay" as if he was about to turn evil, and imprisoned people with his yandere-like willfulness, I can still feel the sound of the quietly flowing water in his heart.
What on earth were he and Gojo Satoru thinking?
I do not know.
Until now, the reason why I can still sit here and communicate with them so rationally is simply because I trust them and believe that they will never hurt me.
But, that’s all.
What if, they themselves are hurt and an incident like last time happens again, and I am locked up in the prison, what should I do then?
Thinking of this, the anger that had risen up in me subsided a lot without me noticing.
They have become irrational, and at this time, I have to stay calm.
If the hard one doesn't work, then use the soft one.
I put the phone back on the table, walked up to him and opened my arms.
Xia Youjie looked up at me, was slightly stunned, and paused for a moment, as if he didn't react to what I was doing.
Two seconds later, he quickly stood up and hugged me, and the scent of wood instantly filled my body.
As if separated by such a long distance and time, we once again walked back to the forest.
"I thought you'd be angry," he said quietly.
"I am indeed very angry." I closed my eyes helplessly and said, "But you are right. We haven't seen each other for so long. As friends, we should hug each other, right?"
The separation ended with a hug, so asking for another one when we reunite doesn’t seem too much.
Hearing what I said, Xia Yujie increased his strength a little.
One of his hands was across my lower back, and his left hand was placed on my shoulder blade, which was getting tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to crush me into his own flesh and blood. The cramped space made it almost impossible for me to feel anything except breathing.
I don’t know how much time has passed in this silence.
"Jie." I called his name, "Can't you really let me out?"
His movements froze, his chin moved slightly on my head, and then he shook his head silently.
"Jay——"
His hands loosened slightly, and the breathing sounded heavier in my ears. The heartbeat from the touching skin was slowly getting faster. I heard him mutter in a low voice: "I used the bottle of shower gel that Wu bought for you."
"Why... don't you choose the bottle I prepared?"
It sounds like he's a bit disappointed.
Me: “...........” Why does his focus always jump like this? Was it because what I just said was not clear enough, or was he deliberately changing the subject again?
And does it matter who prepared it? When I get out, I'll pour both bottles over their heads, and then kick them all out for a winter swim in Tokyo Bay.
"This is not important." I took a deep breath, continued to brew my emotions, hugged his shoulders back, lowered my voice, and said in a very pitiful tone, "Let me out."
"If you don't let me run around, I definitely won't run around." I vowed, "Look, if you're worried, I'll just stay in the technical college, and if I really need to go out, I'll definitely let you guys follow me."
"If you're worried about me getting hurt, I'll go find Nitro every day and stay in her infirmary."
"What do you say?" I gritted my teeth and squeezed out two tears. I looked up at him and our eyes met. "Look, the prison gate can only accommodate two people at most. You can't appear by my side anywhere, right?"
"Then are you willing to let me stay alone in the prison gate?"
This was the same trick he used on me in Act 3. I wonder how effective it will be after I apply it to my own situation.
"Please." I said in the most miserable, pitiful, and helpless voice I could think of in my life, "Jie, please."
His stiff body moved, and his breathing became a little shorter, as if he was wavering.
possible!
My eyes lit up, and I continued to pull his sleeve and shake it, staring at him eagerly and begging: "Although there is everything here, no one is here."
"I've been away for such a long time, and I really want to see them. Can't you let me go out to see them—"
Xia Youjie raised his hand and covered my eyes with his slightly cool palm, interrupting the words I had not yet finished speaking.
"Go me," he said, "Lily, I might have to go now."
".......Huh?" She blinked in confusion, her eyelashes brushing across his palm, "Wait a minute......"
"I finally understand why Wu ran away so happily." He muttered to himself in a low voice.
"No." I pulled his hand down and asked, "You know what you know."
"Sorry." He tilted his head back, closed his eyes, sighed, and said helplessly, "Just act coquettishly," and I seemed to be unable to help but want to let you go.
"Then let it go!" I said hurriedly.
"But I really can't let you go out now." He still said firmly, "So, I may have to break my promise."
"Let Satoru come in and keep you company."
"Hey, Xia Youjie, you stay here and don't change anyone else!" I pulled his hand hard and used all my strength to keep him in place.
The feeling they gave me was like I was the brave warrior who finally reached the depths of the maze and faced the big boss. I finally used my trump card and almost depleted the boss's health bar, but then I found out that there was another one. And every time one of them was about to die, he would run out to heal, and then the other one would come over with full health and continue fighting with me.
If this isn’t cheating, then what is? It will keep going on and on like this, and I will definitely be the first one to die!
"If you dare to leave, don't come back!" I jumped up and yelled in anger.
"And Gojo Satoru, don't let him in either." I said, "Both of you get out of here."
"I don't want to see you anymore!"
