Feeling the pain, Shigure Tsukino took something out of his pocket and sniffed it.

While enjoying the stimulation of the drug, he put the new face he had just found on his own face.

When he had finished everything, Shigure Tsukino wiped the blood off the scalpel gracefully and looked down at the body lying in the toilet pit.

He bent down, lifted the boy's chin, not caring about the unrecognizable face, and kissed the pair of black eyes passionately.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Take a guess.

Brother, how long will it take me to gain your trust this time?

Xie Shuyi has not woken up since then and has been examined by doctors many times.

His special ability has always been activated passively, and the wounds and medicines on his body have long disappeared with the passage of time.

Since it has nothing to do with external injuries, it is most likely a psychological problem.

The doctor suggested that someone familiar to Xie Shuyi talk to him more, but did not recommend someone from the detective agency.

Since he has shown his rejection of Dazai, the people in the detective agency will most likely be no exception.

Their talking might actually irritate Jie Shuyi, making him even more reluctant to wake up.

The doctor suggested that it would be best to find someone that Xie Shuyi trusts the most and is closest to.

When Odasaku pushed open the door of the room, he saw the young man lying on the bed at a glance.

In four years, all the flesh that Odasaku had worked so hard to grow seemed to be gone, and he even became a little thinner.

He pulled a chair over and sat beside the bed. He took off his coat before entering the room, fearing that the smell of smoke on his body would make Jie Shuyi uncomfortable.

The shirt inside was wrinkled, showing how hurriedly its owner put it on.

Odasaku sighed, "How could you make yourself so embarrassed?"

No emotion could be heard in his words, but the heartache could not be hidden in his eyes. He lowered his voice for fear of disturbing Jie Shuyi.

His eyes fell on the boy's hand which was injected with glucose. Since he had not woken up for a long time, he could only rely on these things to maintain the necessary nutrition.

Odasaku lowered his eyes and carefully placed Jie Shuyi's hand, which was receiving an IV drip, in his palm.

Feeling the coldness of the boy's fingertips, he didn't dare to hold it too tightly, just wanting to pass on the warmth of his palm.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have let you go back to Yokohama to study."

Out of Odasaku's sight, the fingertips of Xie Shuyi's other hand moved.

"Dazai told me a lot of things you didn't tell me. Since when did you start hiding these things from me?"

Odasaku sighed softly, "I'm already halfway through writing the novel. I really want to finish it quickly and show it to you. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Oh right. You has been getting more and more noisy since he entered sixth grade. Whatever, it's getting more and more of a headache for me."

"Kosuke said he missed you. Without you, no one can wake him up. He stays in bed all day and is late every day. But this kid has always had good grades."

"A boy confessed to Sakuraku. The boy came to our house with his mother's ring. I was stunned at the time. The diamond was as big as a pigeon egg."

......

"I found a good curry shop online. When you wake up, I'll take you there."

Odasaku kept talking like this, and from beginning to end, the topic never mentioned Jie Shuyi's experience during this period, and even the gentle reproach was just mentioned in passing.

It was mostly just elaborating on the changes in him and his family over the past six months.

It seems that nothing has changed, and yet it seems that everything has changed.

Outside the door, Dun put his ear against the door and listened secretly, making faces and trying to find the best posture.

Dazai sat on the sofa. Although he didn't say anything, one could clearly feel that his tense mood relaxed a lot after Odasaku came.

"Go back and have a rest. Odasaku is here to help." Dazai closed the book, grabbed Atsushi's collar, and pulled the child out of the hotel.

There was a faint smile on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking before he left.

Odasaku helped Jie Shuyi smooth the loose hair on his forehead and carefully smoothed the quilt for him.

His movements were very gentle. Having raised children for several years, he was not unfamiliar with taking care of people and had even become skilled at it.

He held Jie Shuyi's hand tightly, and Odasaku's voice seemed to choke.

"Don't be afraid, we are always here."

Tears welled up in Xie Shuyi's eyes, and his tightly closed eyes began to tremble. When he opened his eyes, a face came into his sight before his watery black pupils could focus.

Odasaku stood up in surprise, looked at the tears in Jie Shuyi's eyes in panic, and helplessly took a tissue to wipe them for him.

Then he asked nervously, "Are you thirsty? Let me get you some water."

Xie Shuyi tilted his head and looked at the busy uncle, his eyes revealing numbness. He could not distinguish between reality and dreams, but was still willing to believe that the person in front of him was real.

Because the uncle is special, whether it is true or not, he will never keep the uncle waiting.

He curled the corners of his lips into a pale smile.

"Why... are you here?" Xie Shuyi hadn't spoken for so long that he could hardly make a sound.

He cleared his throat and was about to speak again when someone suddenly helped him up.

Looking at the uncle's face so close to him, Xie Shuyi subconsciously shrank back and closed his eyes.

But the scene in the dream did not appear again.

The warm cup of water was pressed to his lips.

Xie Shuyi opened his eyes in a daze. Odasaku was bending over, carefully feeding him water. As if he noticed his gaze, the uncle smiled.

Before Jie Shuyi could react, his body had already opened his mouth subconsciously.

When the dry throat feels the moisture of water, the thirst that was not strong originally is like a ignited flame.

Xie Shuyi drank up all the water in the cup in just a few gulps.

Seeing him drinking so fast, Odasaku patted Jie Shuyi on the back and said, "Don't drink water so fast next time. Be careful not to choke."

Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly pulled forward by a strong force. Odasaku could only lean forward, half-kneeling on the bed with one leg, still holding the cup in his hand, feeling somewhat helpless in the arms of Jie Shuyi.

"What's wrong."

He was surrounded by a tight hug. Jie Shuyi shook his head and said nothing. He just hugged the uncle a little bigger and tightly.

Odasaku did not push him away. He put the cup on the bedside table and moved the IV stand forward. He didn't know what the child wanted to do, but he was afraid that the child would get hurt.

Jie Shuyi didn't say anything. He took a deep breath and smelled the familiar scent. He felt that all the pores on his body were opening up, madly sensing the person in front of him.

Xie Shuyi hugged him tightly, as if he was holding the last piece of driftwood he could catch. He buried his head in the uncle's shoulder, breathing hard, and the tears in his eyes could not help but fall.

Odasaku paused for a moment and pursed his lips. He could feel the fabric on his shoulders being slightly wet with water.

He hugged Xie Shuyi's back slowly and carefully. He was thin enough to feel the outline of his shoulder blades, but he didn't dare to use force.

"I won't leave."

There was no response, but Odasaku was not anxious. He lowered his voice and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for half a year, but you have become more clingy."

Comforting people is not Odasaku's strong point, but when facing Jie Shuyi, he always relaxes unconsciously.

He is not good at preaching, but he is willing to accompany, willing to listen, and willing to pass on his body warmth to Jie Shuyi.

Xie Shuyi's body stiffened, and he seemed to realize that he had made a fool of himself, and his face turned red.

I felt that my hands on the uncle were like a big octopus, holding on to him tightly.

Xie Shuyi quickly withdrew his hand and sniffed. He lowered his head and tried to block the uncle's sight with his slightly long black hair, as if he didn't want to be seen in such an embarrassed state.

"You...why are you here?"

It was the same question as before, but this time the voice was much clearer, and even a little choked.

Odasaku finally saw the child's face. His thin lips were tightly pursed, his eyelashes and slightly red eyes were stained with transparent tears, his long black hair was a little messy because of the hug just now, and the whole person looked pitiful.

Odasaku straightened his face and gently helped him push the loose hair on his forehead behind his ears.

"You haven't told me you're safe for more than a week. How can I not be worried?"

Xie Shuyi's pupils shrank, "I'm adding to the trouble again..."

"But that doesn't matter anymore." Odasaku interrupted him.

He held the child in his arms, but this time he took the initiative.

"I just happened to miss you, too."
