Chapter 510: What to do?
"Since you don't hate them, there's no harm in meeting them, right?" Xia Yujie's left hand rested on his knee, and his right hand was clenched tightly in a place where no one could see.
"I promise, they are all very easy to get along with and will never embarrass you."
"Ah... this, this... how about we talk about it later?" The girl on the other side mumbled a few words, then turned her head away and said unnaturally, "Anyway, after returning to Tokyo, we still have plenty of time to meet each other."
Then, as if she had just remembered, she asked, "Teacher, when are you going to go back?"
"Maybe a little later than you." Xia Youjie lowered his eyes, casting a faint shadow under his narrow eyelashes. He raised the corners of his lips and smiled faintly, "I received another mission that requires me to go on a business trip."
"Hey, another mission? Where are you going? It's not even New Year yet. It sounds like it's going to be hard."
On her face, there was genuine concern and sympathy, concern for their need to do the task, sympathy for having to work on New Year's Eve.
But... Xia Yujie always felt in his heart.
This is not enough.
This is far from enough.
If it were in the past, she would never have shown such an expression, and how could she be so polite to them.
As soon as she heard that they were going on a business trip, she would immediately fold her hands behind her head leisurely, cross her legs, and wave her hand impatiently to ask them to leave so that they wouldn't be bothering her all the time.
If it were in the past, when she knew she was going to meet Yuji Shoko and the others, how could she have chosen to back off just because she felt they were strangers.
If it were in the past...if, if, if...
"It could be tomorrow, or it could be that I won't remember it in my lifetime. Who knows?"
Every word spoken by that god was as clear as if it was being played in my ears through the radio.
"Are you still on a business trip in Hokkaido?" Suzuki Yuri asked curiously, "But then again, it seems like you guys have been right beside me these past two days, and I haven't seen the client show up."
The sole owner of the entrustment...
Xia Youjie glanced sideways at the gray bird beside the fire and thought to himself, isn't this the person who commissioned the task?
He hopes that they can maintain the gap between the two worlds for him like an honest and obedient laborer, but he also secretly wants to separate Lily from them. These two double standards are really the most appropriate description for him.
"The business trip is not in Hokkaido. It has to go abroad."
"Hey, overseas?" She seemed to have let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll be gone for quite a long time."
Why do you need to relax, take a deep breath, and be happy? Is it because you feel stressed when you are with them?
Because of these speculations, Geto Xiayou's mood became particularly bad again.
"In Europe." He lowered his eyes and answered calmly, "We won't be gone for very long, maybe one or two days at the shortest, three or five days at the longest, and no more than a week at the most, and then we'll be back."
"So..." He raised his eyes to look at Suzuki Yuri, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and said, "When that time comes, Yuri-chan, don't keep me at a distance again."
"Uh, hahahahaha... no way."
Every time she felt guilty, she would use this interjection, accompanied by -
Xia Yujie's eyes flashed, and he clearly saw her fingers entwined in her hair, circling around and around.
"Lily." After a long silence, he said, "When we return to Tokyo, the next time we meet - there is something I want to tell you, is that okay?"
"?" She blinked and asked in confusion, "What's the matter? Can't you say it now? Why do you have to say it next time?"
"It's not appropriate to say it now." He paused and said, "I want to find a suitable time."
It would be easier to bring it up after they had sorted things out and returned from Denmark than to bring it up now.
After a long time without a response, Xia Youjie raised his head and saw that the person opposite him had an indescribable expression.
Xia Youjie asked: "What's wrong?"
"Excuse me for being blunt." Suzuki Yuri grabbed her hair, "Teacher, if you have something in your heart that you want to say next time, don't mention it now."
"Otherwise, it really feels like setting a flag."
She looked at him with wide eyes and said seriously, "Don't you know that flags will reduce the success rate?"
"What success rate?"
"Those who said the teacher would never call on me in this class were called up, those who said they had to memorize a hundred words a day couldn't stick to it for a day, and those who said they would go back to their hometown to get married after completing this order were all dead!"
"So, take back what you said, take it back." She waved her hand quickly and said, "Tell me again when you have the chance next time."
Xia Youjie: "...Aren't you still setting a flag?"
I have to say that after so many years, her imagination is still as rich as that of ordinary people.
"However, seeing your attitude, teacher, I am really relieved." After teasing each other for a while, Suzuki Yuri stretched out her hand to the warm fire, looked at the stars lighting up in the night sky, and suddenly said with a sigh.
"Relieved...what do you mean?"
"A lot of things." She put her head on her knees and said comfortably, "Because you don't look very happy."
"I thought you were angry because I said I didn't want to meet your friends." She put her head on her knees and said comfortably, "You were angry..."
"Am I angry with you?" Xia Youjie shook his head and said helplessly, "That won't happen."
He rarely got angry with her. If he had to say it, it would probably be the last time he found out that she had sacrificed herself.
But what can I do if I get angry?
I can't bear to hit or scold them, so I might as well just forget about them all. Who knows when I will remember them.
He looked solemnly at the mountains in the distance. After the fireworks faded, gray mist floated in the sky. The embers cooled and fell to the ground. Even from such a long distance, he could still smell the faint smell of sulfur.
"Then what should I do..."
To you.
