Curse Back to Five Summers: Best Friends Are an Excuse for Couples

The early summer of 17 seemed to come a little earlier than in previous years.

From late spring to early summer, the weather is always gloomy, like a sponge soaked with water, and it rains from time to time.

Geto Suguru's apartment is located in the most inconspicuous place at the end of this residential area. It is a two-story building with a yard.

After getting off the bus, walk along the dusty cement road beside the river bank. The end is at the bottom of the mountain. After going up the slope, the two-story wooden building with an independent courtyard is hidden between the trees and the mountain.

It's a little out of the way, but it's quiet enough and the air quality is good, so he lives there comfortably.

That afternoon, as he was walking back in the sunset, he met his landlady, Ms. Kaneko, on the cement road beside the river bank.

The kind, plump old woman recognized him from a distance and waved to him warmly.

Geto Suguru was very surprised by the sudden appearance of the landlady.

You know, the landlady doesn't live nearby. The house she rents out belongs to her daughter who lives abroad. She herself lives far away from here. If there is nothing going on, she will never show up.

This is the understanding that Geto Suguru has gained in the past six months since he rented the house.

The rent wasn't due yet; he'd paid for three years in one lump sum, and he hadn't received a call from the regional manager, indicating nothing major had happened at home. So, all that remained was...

Geto Xiayou had a bad feeling, so he walked over quickly and heard the landlady say that a new tenant had moved into the empty room next to his.

Xia Yujie's expression was complicated for a moment. After the landlady exchanged some pleasantries, she patted him on the shoulder and reminded him before leaving -

"Get along well."

Do you get along well?

Xia Yujie glanced in the direction of the two-story building. From this low position, he could only see half of the roof through rows of staggered trees, and it was red.

He now seems to have lost the ability to get along well with others. Although he does his job properly and has to interact with many people every day, those are things he has to do to support himself, and they are not what he likes.

Being forced to work with monkeys every day was already unbearable for him. After get off work, he had to meet strangers in the same yard, who might even be monkeys. He felt really tired.

"It would be great if I could make a little more money. If I could make enough, I could rent out the empty room next door, or even buy this house outright."

Of course, this was just his own imagination. He knew clearly that he couldn't do it with his current ability.

It would cost a lot of money to buy this house.

Of course, he had a way to get enough money to buy the house in a short period of time, but he was different now. He tried to stay away from his previous self and the world he lived in as much as possible.

He wants to start over.

He does not rely on his identity as a sorcerer, does not rely on exorcising cursed spirits for others to improve his own strength, does not rely on his eloquence to cheat the monkeys of their money, but simply occupies a place in this world like an ordinary person, like a busy monkey.

This is what he thinks now.

It's funny to say that, I obviously hate monkeys, but in the end, I still live like this, haha~

Geto Suguru stood on the river bank for a long time. He looked at the shimmering water reflecting the setting sun, which looked like golden sand flowing. However, such a beautiful scenery could not soothe his irritable mood.

He exhaled heavily, and after a long time he smiled slightly.

He tapped his cheeks lightly with his slender fingers, pulling his muscles and turning up the corners of his mouth. This was a standard fake smile.

When he faces most monkeys, he always reveals this kind of smile, which is warm and gentle, but not a smile from the heart.

"Just get along, Jay."

he said to himself.

It only takes five minutes to go uphill, but today it took him more than ten minutes.

There is only one house in this area, with a brick stone wall and a wooden fence gate. Roses are planted at the base of the stone wall. I don’t know how long these flowers have been growing here. They have intertwined roots, lush branches and leaves, and are growing well.

Now, the branches have become longer, climbing up the low wall and then hanging down along the wall into the yard.

Pink and white roses are dotted among the tender green leaves, which are extremely beautiful.

However, today, Geto Suguru had no intention of appreciating these beautiful flowers.

He pushed the door open, and at this moment the window of the empty room on the second floor was also opened from the inside. He subconsciously stopped and raised his head, and happened to meet the eyes of the head sticking out of the window.

The man coughed a few times in an exaggerated manner, his tongue lolling out like a big dog. He leaned forward to breathe while complaining, "It's so choking. How long has it been since it was cleaned?"

Xia Yujie was stunned when he saw the man's face.

With short, smooth silver hair and a delicate baby face, he appeared in the window, looking like a big dog but also like a naughty cat.

The other person took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Geto Suguru looking up at him. He was obviously stunned, but then he laughed.

The black round sunglasses on his nose slid down slightly, revealing his clear blue eyes. He squinted his eyes and smiled, then waved to the man in black who was standing on the small path paved with red broken bricks in the yard downstairs.

"Hey, I'm Gojo Satoru, the new guy who just moved in. I'm twenty years old, please take care of me."

Xia Yujie stared at the person in the window with his eyes wide open in astonishment, until the other person asked him what his name was, he suddenly came to his senses.

He heard the young man muttering.

"The man in the suit and tie, is he a company employee?"

"..."

"Or a teacher?"

"..."

"A lawyer, a salaryman, or do you simply like dressing like this?"

Gojo Satoru was muttering to himself, chattering loudly.

"That..." Perhaps realizing his own loss of composure, Geto Xia lowered his head in a hurry. When he calmed down and raised his head again, the fake smile that seemed to be engraved on his face forever appeared again.

"Satsuyu Takeshi." He smiled and said, "My name is Suguru Takeshi, and I'm currently a lecturer at a certain firm."

The person at the window looked at him and heard Xia Yujie continue to say, "Please take care of me."

A gentle smile, a soft voice, even though it is early summer, it makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze.
