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

Seeing the child he raised showing such a worried look in front of him, Xia Yujie felt a pain in his heart like needles.

Although these two children have no blood relationship with him, they are just orphans he rescued from a remote mountain village that cannot be found on the map, but he has indeed watched them grow up, and they are no different from his own children.

Geto Suguru sighed and wanted to wipe the tears of the two sisters, but both his hands were occupied.

Standing on the street wasn't an option, so he could only comfort them by saying, "No, it's not true. How could I possibly hate Mimiko and Nanako? Even if I hated everyone in the world, I wouldn't hate you two."

"Where has Master Gouyu been for over a year? I can't reach him on the phone, and I can't find him. He just disappeared suddenly."

Geto Suguru didn't know why such a deviation occurred. It was obvious that the world after rebirth seemed to be somewhat different from the original world. He didn't know the whole picture and couldn't give an answer quickly.

then--

"Have you had lunch?" asked Geto Suguru.

Mimiko and Nanako were obviously confused by Geto Suguru's question. The topic just now was not about whether they had eaten lunch, right?

"Lord Xiayou..."

"Shall we have Peking duck?" Xia Yujie said to them with a smile while standing in the scorching sun.

Mimiko and Nanako looked at each other and nodded obediently, "Okay."

They are rebellious and eccentric, but they are always well-behaved when facing Geto Suguru. This has never changed since they were young.

Twenty minutes later, the father, daughter and their two children were already sitting in a private room in a restaurant in Chinatown.

While waiting for the food to be served, Mimiko and Nanako continued to ask Geto Suguru where the past year had gone.

Geto Suguru was also very curious. Why did he disappear for a year? What did this year represent?

It is now the summer of 2017, and he has not yet launched the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. So why did he disappear for this year?

Even he himself cannot give an answer to this question.

Should I tell my two daughters that I died and then was reborn, and that the me now seems different from the me you know.

It's impossible for anyone to believe such a thing, even I myself don't want to believe it.

However, because they were worried about him, the two of them always wanted to know what had happened in the past year that caused the beloved Master Gouyu to leave without saying goodbye.

Xia Yujie held his chin and thought for five minutes before he came up with a reason that didn't sound too convincing, and at least he managed to cover up the lie.

"Master Geto will go back with us, right?"

"Go back where?"

"Panxing Sect, our home."

Geto Xia Yu had been smiling at them, but when he talked about this, he shook his head unexpectedly.

"I don't want to go back, and I probably won't ever go back."

"Why?" the two sisters asked in unison. They didn't understand why Lord Gohyu, who was originally keen on running a religious group, suddenly changed after not seeing him for a year.

Xia Yujie sighed and said, "I was tired of that kind of life, so I didn't go back. I now have a new life and a new job. It's what I wanted, so please forgive me, both of you."

What righteousness, what family, at this moment, Geto Suguru no longer wanted to cling to these things.

He didn't want to care about what happened to the Panxing Sect. The other family members all had their own homes. As for his two daughters, their futures had already been found. As long as he kept a close eye on them, there would be no problem.

Now, he just wants to live an ordinary life and make up for the ten years he lost.

He doesn't have any big ambitions and may even be considered meaningless, but so what? It's enough as long as he likes and wants it.

It is very difficult to persuade the two girls to leave the protection of his wings, but fortunately, Geto Suguru has good eloquence.

They spent the entire afternoon in that box fighting for what they wanted.

When Geto Suguru suddenly realized that it was already dusk, he finally could not sit still anymore.

"No matter where I am or what I'm doing, remember that you two are my daughters. Now that you've grown up, you're no longer the little girls who used to hide behind me and look around timidly. You've grown up, your wings are full, and you can spread them and fly high."

Mimiko looked at Geto Xia Yu with some disappointment and asked him, "So, we have to separate, right, Geto Dad?"

This time, she didn't call him Master Takeru, but called him Daddy Takeru, just like when she was a child.

Xia Yujie's heart moved and became soft and messy.

He reached out his hands and stroked the sisters' hair. "Come see me when you miss me. We will always be a family. I just don't want to go back to the Panxing Sect. I just don't want to be obsessed with building a paradise for sorcerers anymore. Other than that, nothing has changed."

Since Geto Suguru said so, what else could they say?

Just as Geto Suguru loves them as a father, they also love Geto Suguru and hope that Geto Suguru can live the way he wants.

No longer wanting to be the vines that tripped Geto Suguru's feet, this time, they wanted to be the ones following him at a distance that was neither too far nor too close.

Because, they are family, shouldn't family members care more about each other?

Under their gaze, Geto Suguru left the restaurant carrying the tools he had bought. They noticed that Geto Suguru left in a hurry, as if he was rushing back to do something.

Fortunately, Geto Xiayou left them his phone number and address, so they can go to him whenever they miss him.

"Dad Takeru is back." Nanako suddenly smiled after watching Takeru leave.

Mimiko nodded, as if relieved, "Yes, Geto-dad is back."

Even if we no longer live under the same roof, as long as we know that the other person is living well in some corner of this world, that is enough.

They are already learning to grow up.

Before returning home, Geto Xiayou did not forget to go to the supermarket outside the subway station to buy food. When the aunt working at the supermarket's storage room saw the fishing net in Geto Xiayou's hand, she smiled and said that he was a good father.

Xia Yujie felt a little guilty, thinking that he had refused his daughter's request to go home. He felt that he was not a good father at all.

"Why do you say that?" asked Geto Suguru.

The aunt smiled and said, "I see you bought a net. Are you planning to take your child into the mountains to catch butterflies or rhinoceros beetles? It's rare to find a father who can play with his children like this these days."

Geto Suguru gave his habitual fake smile. He regretted so much that he asked such a question.

He couldn't imagine how his aunt would feel if she knew that two grown men, him and Gojo Satoru, were going to play with this thing.

On the way home, Geto Xiayou would look down at the two fishing nets in his hands from time to time.

He said to himself, "Isn't it really childish? Two grown men playing with this kind of thing, it's really childish, right?"

But now Gojo Satoru said that he has never played it.

Why haven't you played it? Because in the current timeline, there is no relationship with Geto Suguru, right?

Geto Xiayou smiled slightly, the red light of the sunset shone on his face, and the uncertainty that had just arisen from his constant self-questioning also became firm at this moment.

It doesn’t matter if they are childish or not, they don’t need to care about what others think about such a small matter.

Besides, everyone is so busy, who has time to care about them?

When passing by the cake shop, Geto Suguru did not see Gojo Satoru waiting there. After a brief moment of loss, he remembered that today was a holiday and Gojo Satoru must have thought he was at home.

All his disappointment was gone, and Geto couldn't wait to head home.

What he held in his hand was the surprise that Gojo Satoru wanted.
