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

When Geto Suguru returned, Gojo Satoru had already finished get off work.

When he heard the sound of Geto Suguru unlocking the door, Gojo Satoru rushed out of his room like a rabbit.

The moment he saw Geto Suguru, Gojo Satoru cried out loudly, "Mr. Suguru, where have you been? I feel so strange not seeing you when I came back."

Xia Yujie was puzzled. He opened the door and took the things he had just put down into the room. He asked Gojo Satoru: "What's so strange? I have legs, so I can go everywhere."

Gojo Satoru followed closely behind Geto Suguru into the house. He pouted, "That's true, but we always went home together before. Even if we didn't go home together on weekends, I would see you at home. This is the first time I haven't seen you since I came home. I'm inexplicably worried about you."

Xia Yujie turned around and looked at Gojo Satoru, smiling and asking, "What's there to worry about? How can a grown man like me be kidnapped?"

Gojo Satoru hesitated to speak, avoiding Geto Suguru's gaze and whispered, "What if we get kidnapped by some weird person? Monsters can possess people."

"Haha," Geto Xia Yu was amused by Gojo Satoru, "I've only heard of things like possession in urban legends and ancient stories."

After he said this, Gojo Satoru stopped talking and pursed his lips, looking like he was worried.

However, his attention was soon attracted by something that Geto Suguru placed against the wall.

His eyes opened wide, he stretched out his long legs and walked to the wall.

He pointed at the pair of fishing nets and turned to look at Geto Suguru. Geto Suguru was scorching hot, biting a hairband in his mouth and trying to re-tie his hair. It was really torturous to have long hair loose in the hot summer. It was indeed more comfortable to tie it all up.

"Hey, this, this, did Mr. Getsu buy this today?"

While concentrating on tying his hair, Geto Xia Yu answered him, "Didn't you see everything?"

Gojo Satoru was very excited, revealing the unrestrained joy of a child. "So, this thing is used to catch cicadas, right?"

Xia Yujie snorted and laughed, "Ah, you're right, Wu Ke is really smart. He has never caught cicadas, but he knows the purpose of the net. Maybe he bought it to catch butterflies?"

"Mr. Getu, stop teasing me. What grown man would like to catch butterflies? That's something only girls like, right?"

Xia Yujie tied his hair and went to the kitchen to get some water. He washed his hands and face under the faucet in the kitchen sink. The heat from running around for half a day finally subsided a little.

The water soaked his face, the front of his clothes, and the bangs on his left forehead. Water droplets dripped from the ends of his hair. He felt an indescribable feeling, a little...

Gojo Satoru seemed to be in another place, with scorching sun, lush green shade, blue sky, brightly colored jerseys, running figures, bouncing basketballs, and beads of sweat sliding down faces and arms.

Full of the flavor of youth.

Geto Xia Yu didn't wipe the water droplets off his face and hair. He shook his head indifferently and poured himself a glass of ice water to drink.

Her slender white fingers held the glass, her lower back leaned against the sink, a playful smile on her lips.

"Satoru, you're stereotyping me."

As he spoke, Xia Yujie narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. He said, "Ever since I was a child, I loved butterflies. If I was lucky enough to see one, I would chase it for a long distance, always wanting to catch it, but I could never catch it."

"Later, my family bought me a net. Now that I had the tools, I couldn't bear to catch them. They were so beautiful, and I couldn't bear to let such a beautiful life perish in my hands."

He used to be a very kind person, but in the end...

"..."

Gojo Satoru didn't know what to say, so he just listened.

Raising his eyebrows, he withdrew his gaze from Geto Suguru's face, picked up the net and swung it twice, feeling pretty good.

He easily changed the subject, "Mr. Getsu bought it just for me?"

This question seems a bit redundant, but Gojo Satoru wants to ask it.

He has never lacked attention from others, but the Gojo family pays attention to him because of the Six Eyes, and more people pay attention to him because he is very strong. He is the one who broke the balance between sorcerers and cursed spirits in the world of curses.

However, he knew that Geto Suguru's attention to him was different from that to others. It was purely because they were friends, and out of a promise he made to his friend.

Geto Suguru leaned on the kitchen counter and looked at Gojo Satoru's eyes looking at him. His eyes were as blue as the sky, and there was a light of hope in them.

Being looked at with such expectation, Geto Suguru felt a little embarrassed.

He coughed lightly and nodded slightly, "Ah, didn't I promise you before that I would go cicada hunting with you? I am a man of my words."

Gojo Satoru was very satisfied with this answer. He was a straightforward person. He would smile when he was happy and make a sour face when he was unhappy.

Now he was very happy, and his smile was so bright that it could light up the entire living room.

He was waving his net against the wall like a child. He seemed to be talking to himself, but in fact he was asking Geto Suguru, "Are the cicadas flying high? Can I catch them with this short net?"

Xia Yujie chuckled, "Of course, after all, Wu is very tall, almost 1.9 meters tall, right?"

Gojo Satoru hadn't measured it, so he looked up at his head, which was shaking like a rattle.

"I don't know. I haven't measured him for a long time," he asked Takeru. "How tall is Mr. Takeru?"

"As for me," Geto Xia Yu recalled the physical examination before joining the company, one of the items of which was height measurement.

He squinted his eyes and thought carefully, his voice soft, "I think it's... 186 or 187."

"Ah~" Gojo Satoru was very happy to get this answer. He ran to Geto Suguru in two steps and held Geto Suguru's arms with both hands to help him stand up straight.

"What are you doing?" Geto Xiayou didn't understand what he meant, but saw Gojo Satoru standing in front of him like a straight poplar tree.

He looked into the other's eyes until Gojo Satoru released his arm and raised his hand to gesture above their heads, then he suddenly understood what the other was doing.

"Huh~" Geto Xia Yu couldn't help laughing, "I say, Wu..."

"Mr. Getabu, don't move. If you move any more, I won't allow you to move."

"That's really childish behavior." Geto Suguru complained about him.

Gojo Satoru disagreed with this assessment, saying, "If I were a child, I would use chalk to draw marks on the wall to measure my height. Obviously, I don't have that."

Xia Yujie agreed with him, "Yes, yes, you didn't. You have grown up, Gojo-sensei."

"Jie..." Gojo Satoru called out Geto's name in a discontented tone, "Don't laugh at me."

Xia Yujie couldn't help but laugh. He denied it flatly, "How could I have that?"

Gojo Satoru called his name, but Geto Suguru didn't realize anything was wrong.

In his mind, this was a very natural thing. They should have called each other by their first names intimately, not their last names, not their full names, just that name.
