Restricted Death

Chapter 79 Farewell Kiss on a Rainy Night

The final examination was successfully completed, and the graduates of the Spiritual Arts Academy also received admission notices from various teams.

The members of the student union gathered together for dinner.

The izakaya was bustling with activity, almost entirely occupied by students from the Spiritual Arts Academy.

Xin drank a lot of wine, and the members toasted him one by one. Many people talked a lot during the conversation, and some students who were classmates with Xin felt a little sad.

Xiubing was rarely drunk, so he didn't have to worry about whether he could get up tomorrow.

There are no classes tomorrow, and there won't be any in the future.

It is worth mentioning that Hitsugaya also took the final examination and will graduate in the same class as Nobuyuki.

Hinamori was very excited at the beginning, but her eyes were red throughout the whole process.

It was very difficult for her to accept the fact that Shin and Hitsugaya left at the same time. She drank a lot of alcohol and even hugged Shin's arm in front of everyone, looking like she was crying.

After some comforting, Nobuo finally handed the case over to another girl, asking her to help send Hinamori back.

It started drizzling outside.

Xin stood under the eaves, feeling the cool air on his face. He reached out and rubbed his cheeks hard, and then he felt a lot more awake.

Farewells kept ringing in my ears as members left one after another.

"President."

Rukia stood beside him at some point, and by then everyone had left.

The tavern behind them was still lit with a gentle warm light, but it had also become deserted. They were the last group of people.

Xin glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

Xin suddenly reached out and took her into his arms.

Rukia's body stiffened for a moment, then quickly relaxed again. She was petite, her cheek pressed against Nobu's chest.

"President...are you drunk?"

She asked in a buzzing voice, but Xin didn't respond, just hugged her tightly.

Rukia slowly climbed her hands onto Shin's back, quietly feeling his body temperature.

"President, I can't bear to leave you."

She buried her head in Xin's chest, and her voice was muffled by the fabric. Hinamori had said many such words during the meal just now, but she only dared to say them out loud in this situation.

Rukia's fingertips dug into Shin's school uniform. She hugged him tightly with all her might, greedily sniffing in Shin's scent, as if if she let go, they would never see each other again.

Feeling the force on her body suddenly lighten, Rukia slowly raised her head, but a strand of hair hung in front of her forehead, swaying blurrily. She found that the president was also looking down at her, and his pupils were the stars closest to her.

She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she suddenly tiptoed, but Xin lowered his head first, as if the whole night was falling.

Her lips were like rouge jelly condensed from night dew, and would break at the slightest touch.

The light filtering through the window lattices wove a web on their faces, the rain slid down the eaves into a transparent cage, the hazy street lights in the distance flickered, and the night wind blew in with water droplets, and Rukia also felt greedy for the coolness.

She felt the president's eyelashes scratching her eyelids, and the subtle itch penetrated into the deepest part of her heart. His soul was sipping her blood, as if trying to be reborn through it.
The raindrops are like a veil covering the whole world.

Rukia felt that it was already past her time to go home, but she really didn't want to leave, so the two of them just snuggled together without saying a word.

In the end, it was Xin who broke the silence.

"Which squad do you want to join in the future?"

Rukia shook her head slightly: "I don't know."

She really hopes that the president can ask her to go to the Fourth Division. As long as the president says so, she will definitely be willing to go and will also find a way to do it.

Shin gently played with Rukia's slightly wet hair and said with a smile: "I thought you would say you wanted to join the Fourth Division. Am I feeling a little too self-satisfied?"

Rukia pursed her lips tightly, her mind in a turmoil, perhaps because of the kiss just now, or perhaps because of the president's question.

Momoko also wants to go to the Fourth Division... She suddenly wanted to say this, but swallowed it back when it came to her lips.

Rukia didn't want the president to think that she was a jealous person. Her feelings were just like her, not warm or passionate.

Like the rain falling from the sky at this moment, clear, calm and dense.

Nobunaga breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You should go back now."

"..."

"Why, are you planning on staying out all night?" Xin teased again, "I don't mind, but I'm also worried that someone from the Kuchiki family will come and cause trouble for me tomorrow."

Rukia's face flushed red, but she still held the president's hand tightly and refused to let go.

Xin leaned over and kissed her forehead gently.

"Let's go."

Rukia finally let go of Xin's hand and walked into the deep rainy night. She looked back frequently and saw that the president was still standing there, under the eaves of the izakaya, standing in the warm light, until the lights in the izakaya went out.

The next day, Xin didn't say goodbye to anyone. After changing into the distributed Shinha uniforms, he went to the Fourth Division with Qinglu.

The environment of the 4th Division's barracks is beautiful and is second to none among the Gotei 13.

The team flower is gentian.

It means a tribute to the tenacity of life.

After arriving here, a member of the Fourth Division was immediately responsible for receiving him. This person seemed to recognize Xin and looked at him frequently.

"You are the Tachigawa Nobuyuki, right?"

"it's me."

"I saw you speak at the Spiritual Arts Academy's cultural festival."

He smiled and offered his hand to Nobu, "Hello, I'm Iemura Yashichiwa, the fifth officer of the Fourth Division and the vice-captain of the First Advanced Rescue Squad."

"Hello, senior." Xinye was very respectful.

Iemura smiled and said, "I've heard of your name a long time ago. Vice Captain Kotetsu has been paying close attention to you."

“It’s all just empty reputation.”

Qinglu also took the initiative to introduce himself at this time: "Iemura-senpai, I am Qinglu."

Iemura wears glasses and has short golden hair. Although he is a fifth-rank official, he has a gentle demeanor and is very likable.

He took Xin and Qinglu into a spacious room where a lot of people had already gathered, all of them were new members of the Fourth Division.

Since they were graduates of the same class, there were many familiar faces among them, and some even came forward to greet Xin and Qinglu.

After bringing them here, Yi Jiangcun left. Many people gathered in the room and whispered.

Xin stood there steadily, while Qinglu seemed a little excited.

"Nobu, what do you think Captain Unohana of the Fourth Division is like? Rumor has it that she's beautiful, generous, and very gentle. Haven't you met her?"

"Ah, I've met him once, and the rumors are true." Xin replied casually.

After waiting here for a while, two figures suddenly walked out from the inner room. The new members instantly quieted down and stood in an orderly manner.

Unohana Retsu, wearing the captain's haori, walked slowly to the front of the team. She had a gentle and peaceful smile on her face, and she was as beautiful as the rumors said.

The Fourth Squad is a medical team that advocates benevolence and compassion. No matter whether it is a comrade or an enemy, they will provide medical treatment if they are seriously injured. This is the code of conduct of the Fourth Squad.

Unohana Retsu's gentle appearance makes people feel at first glance that he is a person with great compassion.

However, Xin knew clearly that deep within the roots of compassion of the captain of the Fourth Division lay thorns thirsty for blood.
