Shugo Chara: Be happy today too

——.

Time lapse before night falls.

The Kūkai family.

"I am back."

Kong Hai took off his shoes and walked into the house. When he saw Yun Hai in the living room, he was slightly stunned: "Oh? Third brother, where are the other brothers?"

Yun Hai was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, playing the game console. Hearing this, he looked up at Kong Hai and said, "Kong Hai is back. Big brother and the others took Ren Dou to the exhibition hall and will be back later."

As he said this, he lowered his head and immersed himself in the game again: "Dinner is on the table, go and heat it up yourself."

"Oh."

Kong Hai first put his schoolbag back in the room before coming out to heat up the meal. While waiting, he took out his cell phone and looked through the photos of Aoki An that he had just taken.

Looking at the girl's smile in the photo, Kong Hai couldn't help but smile as well.

After hearing a 'ding' sound, he skillfully brought out the food and sat at the dining table to eat.

Yunhai finished the game and put down the console: "Speaking of which, Konghai, why did you come back so late today?"

"I went for a walk with An." Kong Hai ate without raising his head, and thought again about what Kabei said last night and the trip to Aoki's house after school today.

Another star, four years...how many things about the girl were there that he didn't understand.

"Dating again?" Yun Hai curled his lips, feeling a little speechless at the young couple's clinginess, "Don't always go out with your girlfriend. When will you bring her home and introduce her to us formally?"

Although Aoki An had come to visit once, Konghai and Aoki An were not dating at that time. Instead, they came to visit as friends. So even though Yunhai had met Aoki An before, he wanted to get to know him formally again.

"She's a little shy." Kong Hai replied absentmindedly, and then asked, "Third brother, what kind of people do you think will suffer from depression?"

Yun Hai was stunned for a moment, and thought for a moment: "Maybe they all have some psychological trauma that has led to mental illness?"

"So if suddenly one day, all the familiar people around you disappear and the environment becomes very unfamiliar, and you live in this situation for four years, will it leave you with serious psychological trauma?"

"?" Yun Hai crossed his arms and tilted his head. "It depends on the personality of the person. Some people are very concerned about unfamiliar environments, while others feel that it is a new beginning. But why do you suddenly ask this?"

"I asked as soon as I thought of it." Kong Hai frowned. Yi'an's personality should make him not care about the environment and adapt very quickly, right?

But it's hard to say. After all, both his parents passed away that year, and his brother's frequent absence from home might have made Xiao Xiaoan feel abandoned by his family.

He got up, cleared and washed the dishes, then went back to his room to take a shower.

Then he lay down on the bed, looking at the various photos of Aoki An smiling and sleeping faces that he had pasted on the wall not far away, and couldn't help but be absent-minded.

Psychological trauma?

Having experienced it, it left an indelible psychological trauma, so cognition is distorted, so depression?

Healthy Ann, experienced, and then became injured Ann = the original star became another star?

In fact, Kukai didn't quite agree with Utaha's statement: the brother and sister were orphans or something. If they weren't his biological sister, how could Takuya be so nervous about An?

So he felt that the sentence might mean becoming another star, just like a sentence that was often said in the middle school years: I am no longer the same person I used to be.

If An can return to her original state, would that mean she has completely recovered from depression?

Just like An now, he has become more and more able to express himself, becoming more and more cheerful and more and more confident.

My first reaction to his praise changed from evasion and denial to a confident, confident and slightly humble response: "Compared with Kukai's football training, these are nothing."

Let An be free and truly happy, let An be the lively, cheerful and smiling girl she used to be, just like An's three guardian angels - all these ideas have been realized one by one, but Kong Hai still feels it is not enough.

Kong Hai was unable to resolve the past of hiding the girl, and he always felt that something was missing. This last step was like a huge ravine that prevented An from completely reaching the other side, causing An to have repeated attacks.

[The day before the chorus performance, Aoki Yasu suddenly called him and asked him to come to the Holy Night Academy in advance. He told him about Yamabuki Saya coming to cause trouble and about his sudden nausea and discomfort...]

An had another somatic attack and was unaware of it.

[…I don’t know how to describe it. That vague feeling of nothingness is like there is an unbridgeable abyss between me and the world around me.]

"Kong Hai, if I say I'm not..." The girl hesitated, and finally looked away without daring to speak frankly, and changed the subject, "Kong Hai, can you accompany me to walk in the school woods?"

Kong Hai couldn't help but pick up his phone to send a message to An saying that he missed her. When he saw that there was no reply, he remembered that An would only look at her phone after completing her "daily tasks".

Immediately, I couldn't help but take out the photos I just took today and look at them.

Gentle orange light, childlike balloons, enthusiastic children, and the smile of the silver-haired girl.

Kong Hai silently set it as the screensaver for his mobile phone. He didn’t know why, but he just liked this kind of scene so much and couldn’t get enough of watching it over and over again: An An was an angel surrounded by children!

For some reason, the moment his thumb touched the screen of the phone, Konghai inexplicably thought of Miya who was also surrounded by a group of junior students in the Holy Night Academy today.

[“Thank you, Senior!” “Miya-senior!”]

[“Maybe he can’t let go. He can inadvertently influence the people around him to help. I guess this is the charm of Miya.”]

Unconsciously, you can influence the people around you to help...

When Kong Hai thought of the words he blurted out, his eyes suddenly widened.

In Guardians, the scenes of Aoki An being hugged by Miya, held by Rimo, and protected by Amu flashed through my mind one by one. Even Nadeshiko, who has left, had a good conversation with Aoki An.

The child who got the balloon smiled at Aoki An. There are many people helping An, and more and more people are needed to help An.

Regardless of whether An felt lonely during those four years, she needed such an innocent smile to heal herself.

If only he could know An's past, if only he could gain An's complete trust and make An tell him the things she dared not to say.

Then, those healing smiles can be perfectly imprinted on the root of Ann's pain and erase the traces.

This was not the first time that Kūkai had such a strong impulse and desire. Before the earth was born, he naively wanted to challenge various sports activities when passing by the window display, and he had the same strong thought and feeling.

But this is the first time that the desire is accompanied by a little bit of prickly or thorny heartache.

If I could do a little more for Ann...

Daichi, who had been playing football to amuse himself, saw Kong Hai lying motionless on the bed. He felt a little strange and flew to Kong Hai's side: "Ku Hai, what are you thinking about?"

Kong Hai suddenly came back to his senses, reacted, then sat up and scratched his head helplessly: "I was thinking about An, hahaha, I got lost in thinking without realizing it."

Dai nodded, "That's true. Aoki's matter is indeed too difficult to grasp. It's too complicated."

Kong Hai had rested enough, so he got up from the bed and started his "study task" - doing today's homework.

One obvious benefit of being with an introverted student is that it will subtly influence the people around you to become introverted as well, with the exception of Yameng's homework.

Kūkai did not dwell too much on Aoki An's affairs. When he figured out the situation and the goal, he decided to do a little more for An, which was more than he had done before!

If possible, he was eager to find the embryo that Yui had always wanted and give it to An to fulfill his wish.

So, when it was time to go to bed and rest late at night, Kūkai fell asleep with such a strong thought in mind.

So much so that when he saw the new guardian egg on his bed in the early morning of the next day, his mind went blank for a moment.

Daichi heard the noise of getting up, flew out of the guardian egg sleepily and confusedly, and yawned: "Kukai, it's still early now, even if we have to go and meet Aoki..."

As he spoke, his words stopped abruptly when his eyes fell on the guardian egg in the middle of the bed.

Daichi immediately showed a shocked expression: "New...new guardian egg?!"

"Ah." Kong Hai responded in confusion and took the guardian egg in his hand.

I saw that this guardian egg looked extremely similar to the earth. The earth only had a simple five-pointed star pattern, a golden star on an orange background, while the new guardian egg also only had a simple sun wheel pattern, a golden sun on an orange background.

The only difference is that one of them is completely blue, and the other is completely white, which are completely different and opposing saturated colors.

Dadi was slightly stunned, and after a while he found his voice again: "Ku Hai, have you had any new dreams recently that I don't know about?"

"No." Kong Hai touched his chin. After quickly accepting and adapting to it, he brought the guardian egg closer to Daichi to compare it. "It looks similar to your egg."

Dadi:……

"Nonsense, we are all Shugo Chara born from Kukai's heart." Daichi couldn't help but complain, "The most important thing now is to figure out why a new Shugo Chara was born."

"Hmm... I don't know." After thinking for less than two seconds, Kong Hai shook his head decisively. He was not good at thinking about things.

But… "This guardian egg gives me a good feeling. I feel motivated as soon as I see it."

As he said this, he touched the new guardian egg with some joy. He didn't know why, but just looking at the pattern on the guardian egg made him feel very happy.

Seeing this, Dadi placed one hand under his other elbow, and placed his other hand under his chin in the shape of an "eight", sitting as if thinking hard:

"It's impossible that there are no new dreams... Then what was Kong Hai thinking about before he went to bed last night?"

"Thinking about Ann."

Kūkai blurted out without even thinking.

Dadi:……

Dadi:! ! !

He stood up immediately in shock, stunned: "No way! Could this be..."

"Huh?" Kong Hai reacted for half a second, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, "!!!"
