Curse Back to Five Summers: Best Friends Are an Excuse for Couples
Chapter 3 So close yet so far
Geto Suguru was reborn. After dying on Christmas Eve in 17, he was reborn on New Year's Day of that year.
On New Year's Day, snow fell throughout the Tokyo area, and he opened his eyes in the vast expanse of white snow.
He was lying in the snow in tattered clothes, and his frozen body gradually regained consciousness after he regained consciousness.
Geto Xiayou sat up in a daze. It was a small alley where no one passed by. The dim alley was slightly brightened by the embellishment of white snow, which also allowed him to see the surrounding environment clearly.
The right arm was still there, the heart was still there, the clothes were torn, but the body was intact.
It took him a long time to confirm that he was not dead, but he was clearly dead. What was going on?
Geto Suguru was very confused. His memory stopped before his death. He remembered that he was seriously injured and was killed by his best friend Gojo Satoru.
His memory was sporadic and he couldn't remember many things, but he still remembered that person.
The bright guy who enriched his adolescence, the guy who was only a few months older than him but always seemed like a child who never grew up, the guy who always said that they were the strongest, but in the end he was the only one who was the strongest.
He forgot a lot of things, but he had a feeling that he could no longer live the same life as before, could no longer go back to Panxing Sect, and could no longer be with those curse masters.
Whether this world is the world of sorcerers, the world of monkeys, or the world constructed by all things, it no longer matters to him.
Although it was short, everything he wanted to achieve in his life became a fantasy. He could not make the monkey disappear completely from this world, and it was impossible for him to build a world with only sorcerers.
After waking up in the snow, he thought for a long time, so long that his limbs were numb from the freezing snow, but he still couldn't think of a way to start over again.
If he can neither save weak humans nor the poor sorcerer, then what is the meaning of his existence in this world?
He didn't know what to do meaningfully, but he was alive. He couldn't do something like committing suicide. Since he was alive, he might as well live on.
but--
The face of Gojo Satoru reappeared in his mind. He was his only close friend. Even after he defected from the Jujutsu High School and did so many things that made people despise him, he was still regarded as his only close friend. He was his only friend in this world where he couldn't laugh.
He first met this friend in 2005, when he had just entered Jujutsu High School.
In April of that year, he met the boy on the path inside the Jujutsu High School.
What’s your feeling at first sight?
When recalling it, Geto Suguru couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile that he himself hadn't even noticed.
That was the first time in his life that he had seen such a good-looking person. Among all the men and women, he was the best-looking.
On the way here, the teacher who recruited him told him about a classmate he had not met yet, saying that the other party was a bad-tempered and disrespectful guy, but no one told him that this bad guy had such an excellent appearance.
However, at that time, Geto Suguru was very disdainful of this. As a boy, why would he need to be so handsome?
However, at that time, he was nervous and his words and actions were inconsistent.
People always become cautious when dealing with beautiful things, such as a flower that has just bloomed in the morning dew, or a crystal ornament that will shine brightly when illuminated by the sun. This is true for objects and people.
It is said that this young man comes from the Gojo family, one of the three great families in the world of curse, and is the owner of the six eyes.
Compared with such people, Geto Suguru felt that he was too ordinary. He was born in an ordinary family, his parents were ordinary people, and he was the only sorcerer in his family for several generations.
No matter how you look at it, the gap is huge. It should be difficult for two people with such a huge gap to get along well, right?
Geto Suguru was already prepared to ignore Gojo Satoru. If he was a difficult person to get along with, he would just pretend that he didn't exist and ignore him. But what he didn't expect was that the guy who seemed like a child of destiny took the initiative to call him when he passed by.
"Hey," Gojo Satoru, who was standing on the roadside with his back to him, stared at the tree trunk, but spoke to Geto Suguru who was passing by. He asked, "Are you the new first-year student?"
Geto Suguru looked around and nodded slowly after making sure that they were the only two people here.
"Ah, that should be it."
"Hmph~" He heard Gojo Satoru's happy laughter.
Just when Geto Xia Yu was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, Gojo Satoru suddenly whispered to him, "Come closer."
"Huh?" Xia Yujie was stunned, and his wrist was grabbed by the man the next second.
Gojo Satoru gave a slight pull, and Geto Suguru stumbled to his side without any preparation.
His body collided with Gojo Satoru's back due to inertia, which made Geto Suguru obviously unhappy. His voice was slightly distorted, "Hey, you..."
"Shh--" Gojo Satoru pressed a finger on his beautiful lips and gestured to Geto Suguru to look.
Following his gaze, I saw a cicada lying on the mottled tree trunk under the shade, in the process of shedding its shell.
"Well...there are a lot of them wherever there are trees."
"Eh?" Gojo Satoru was startled. "So you've seen it before?"
Xia Yujie nodded obediently, "When I was little, I would catch them with my friends and put them in the mosquito net, but my mother would get angry and say it was noisy, so she wouldn't allow us to do that. So we stopped catching them later."
Gojo Satoru sounded a little disappointed, and Geto Suguru felt a little embarrassed looking at his disappointed expression. This kind of thing must be very boring for this person, right?
That was the first time since he grew up that Geto Suguru felt inferior when facing someone.
In his hometown, Geto Suguru never knew what it felt like to be inferior. He was good at studying, good-looking, and good at fighting. He was very popular both near his home and at school.
Moreover, he was born with the ability to manipulate curse spirits, which is very rare in the curse world. He was truly a child of destiny. Therefore, he had never felt inferior until he met the young man in front of him.
It was obvious that this young man did nothing. He was just standing there nonchalantly. He didn't have the temperament of a young master from a wealthy family at all. He also didn't rely on his family or his innate advantages to suppress him. However, he still felt a small and unfamiliar sense of inferiority in his heart.
He didn't know why he was like this. There was no reason for him to feel inferior, but he just had this mentality.
For a long time, Geto Suguru didn't understand why this inferiority complex was quietly growing in his heart.
He heard Gojo Satoru say, "I've never caught a cicada before, and this is even my first time seeing one. It would be boring to do it alone without anyone to accompany me, right?"
"Ah?" Xia Yujie was a little confused, but he saw that the guy's face changed from disappointment to a slight sense of loss.
Could it be that... the disappointment just now was not because he was bored, but because he had never done it before?
"That..." Geto Suguru was still a little embarrassed, feeling as if he had just judged others by his own standards.
But when he thought about being on the same level as this guy, his relationship seemed to become closer, so he couldn't help but say, "Do you want it? This thing will crawl out from the ground and climb up the tree at night. It can't fly at this time. When you see it, you can just pick it up. It's very simple. If you want it, I... I can accompany you."
"Really?" Gojo Satoru turned around and looked at Geto Suguru with disbelief.
It was not until this time that he took a serious look at the young man in front of him. His fair and clean face was very delicate, and his narrow and long almond-shaped eyes and a wisp of bangs hanging down on the left side of his forehead made him look a little softer, and he looked soft and easy to bully.
As for height, he was half a head shorter than himself. He had heard from Teacher Yega that this guy was a few months younger than him.
"Hehe~" Gojo Satoru grinned, his eyes as clear as the sky narrowed, "Then it's settled. After the sun sets, we'll catch it together."
Geto Suguru could not forget the smile on Gojo Satoru's face at that time. He was different from the bad young master from aristocratic family that his teacher described him as. Not only was he not bad, he was actually quite approachable.
That smile is as high as the sky and as bright and brilliant as the sun, making people feel so close and yet so far away.
Their friendship may have begun on the night they went to catch cicadas. It was pitch black, stars appeared in the sky, and the night light came on. From their holes in the earth beneath the trees, cicadas, still unmolted, slowly crawled out and climbed up the tall tree, attracting the two young men...
