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

"Wu is a sorcerer, right?"

Gojo Satoru hummed irritably in confirmation, "So what?"

"Satoru said his technique has repulsive force, isn't that right?"

Gojo Satoru looked suspiciously at Geto Suguru's smiling face, which looked like it had no good intentions. "So?"

Geto Xia Yu patted Gojo Satoru's head through the cage and said soothingly, "Then activate a technique. With the head as the center point, repel the force in all directions. This force will definitely be able to break the cage open."

Gojo Satoru shook his head. "No, I don't want to. I want to catch cicadas today. This will break the cage. If it breaks, where will I put my cicadas?"

Geto Suguru sighed, and there was an inexplicable hint of pity in his eyes as he looked at Gojo Satoru.

It seems to be saying, how cruelly this child was treated when he was a child that he never caught cicadas, and why he still has such a deep obsession with this matter when he grew up.

"Next week, on my day off, I'll buy you another one, okay?"

"No, I want to catch it today."

Geto Suguru was also surprised by Gojo Satoru's stubbornness. He didn't understand. "It's just waiting another week. It's not like we won't catch him anymore."

Seeing that he couldn't get it open for the time being, Gojo Satoru simply sat down on the ground.

He lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he whispered, "Come back next week, it will feel different."

Geto Suguru didn't quite understand, so he squatted down in front of Gojo Satoru.

The glasses had fallen completely off and landed in an ironic gesture on the wire mesh of the cage.

Gojo Satoru's slender eyelashes, like white swan wings, drooped down, covering his pupils. He pouted unhappily and muttered, "When I was little, I couldn't play as freely as the other children in the tribe. Because I was born with six eyes, they were always very strict with me.

At that time, I was young and immature, always wanting to play with other children of the same age. Whenever this happened, those who were responsible for teaching and taking care of me would say to me -

Just train for two more hours and you can go play.

As long as you master this set of movements, you can go and play;

As long as you follow the standard etiquette, you can go and play.

I was told I could go play as long as I did what I wanted, and it was the same story every time, but I was scammed every time."

Gojo Satoru pulled out the grass beside him out of boredom. "If I tell them about how they lied to me, they'll feel embarrassed and agree to let me go out and play for a while, but Jay..."

Gojo Satoru raised his eyelashes and looked at Geto Suguru, who was listening to him intently. He said, "When you desperately want to do something but don't get it done, the feeling of doing it again after a while is completely different. I don't like to make up for it."

Geto Suguru looked at Gojo Satoru through the fine grid of wire mesh. Gojo Satoru certainly wouldn't cry when he thought about the betrayal he had suffered in his childhood, but the other person's expression at the moment made him feel more uncomfortable than crying.

So what if you are a chosen one? As long as you live in this world, you will inevitably encounter unpleasant things.

"Is that why you actually went to Sendai that day to buy the Kikufuku you promised me?" Although he was smiling, there was an unknowing trace of heartache in his eyes. "Because you were always treated perfunctorily and deceived as a child, and people always broke their promises to you, so now that you've grown up, you value this so much?"

Gojo Satoru pursed his lips, his expression changing as he said nonchalantly, "Isn't it normal for adults to keep their promises?"

Having said that, he did not refute Geto Suguru's guess.

"That's right, since that's the case, I have to be a man of my words." Xia Yujie said, showing a gentle smile to Gojo Satoru. His tone was very gentle, coaxing Gojo Satoru, "Gojo, close your eyes."

"Huh?" Gojo Satoru was stunned, not understanding what Geto Suguru was going to do.

Xia Yujie urged him, "Hurry up, close your eyes."

"……oh."

Gojo Satoru blinked his eyes. Although he didn't understand what Geto Suguru wanted to do, he closed his eyelids obediently because he had absolute confidence in him.

Geto Suguru liked Gojo Satoru who was so obedient. He raised his right hand and filled it with cursed energy, so breaking the cage was a piece of cake.

Gojo Satoru is protected by his unconditional loyalty, so Geto Suguru is not worried that his actions will hurt him.

Only after he took down the tattered cage and held it in his hand did Geto Suguru breathe a sigh of relief.

He originally said that he would no longer use cursed power, but because of Gojo Satoru, he broke the rules he set.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now, Satoru."

Gojo Satoru slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was the cage in Geto Suguru's right hand, which was so tattered that it could not be repaired.

This time, Gojo Satoru's roar startled the birds perched on the tree trunk.

The Lion's Roar almost pierced Geto Suguru's eardrum. Gojo Satoru jumped up and grabbed Geto Suguru's shoulders with both hands and shook him.

"You said you understood me, but how come you broke it the next second, Jay, you bad guy!"

Geto Suguru was glad that he was still in his prime. If he were in his seventies or eighties, Gojo Satoru would have shaken his bones apart.

"Satoru,"

No matter how wildly Gojo Satoru roared, as long as Geto Suguru called his name softly, he would calm down instantly.

"What?" The person was still angry.

Geto Xiayou placed the broken cage on the side of the winding path, in the most conspicuous place.

He straightened up and continued to walk inside. Gojo Satoru didn't know what was the point of Geto Suguru continuing to walk inside after the cage was gone.

"Hey, Jay, where are you going?"

Xia Yujie rolled his eyes at him and said, "Of course I'm here to catch cicadas with you. Where else can I go?"

Gojo Satoru looked at the cage that was so tattered that only a pile of wire was left, and then looked at Geto Suguru who was walking forward without looking back. Finally, he made up his mind to chase after him.

"The cage is broken. Where can I put the cicadas after I catch them?"

Geto Xia Yu looked up at the trunks of the big trees on both sides, carefully observing where there were cicadas lying on them.

"Don't worry, there will always be something to pack."

Gojo Satoru was half-believing and half-doubting, but gradually let it go. Geto Suguru had never lied to him. Since he said he had something to hide, Gojo Satoru wanted to believe him.

Once he became open-minded, the fog and clouds dissipated. He didn't need to be obsessed with how many he caught. Just two would be enough, one for him and one for Geto Suguru.

If we must compare the loudness of chirping, let these two compete. Just treat them as the best chirping masters among thousands, and treat them as the strongest cicadas in the entire forest.

However, Geto Suguru did not spoil Gojo Satoru's fun. When Gojo Satoru successfully caught the first cicada and happily showed it to him.

Without saying a word, Geto Suguru took off his long-sleeved sports T-shirt neatly.

Gojo Satoru, who was holding the cicada, was so frightened by his action that his soul almost flew out of his body. He loudly demanded, "Why are you taking off your clothes for no reason? You're not going to take a bath!"
