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

Geto Suguru stared blankly at Gojo Satoru's face in the mirror, with a hint of surprise still on his face.

Seeing Geto Suguru's reaction, Gojo Satoru laughed even more happily.

He leaned against the low cabinet, stared into Geto's eyes, and reminded him, "From now on, when we encounter danger together, Mr. Geto only needs to take care of himself and don't worry about me. If one of us must protect the other, it should be me who protects you."

Geto Suguru stared at the face in the mirror for a long time. Although Gojo Satoru said this with a smile, his eyes were very firm, which showed that he was serious.

After opening and closing his mouth several times, Geto asked him, "Why must you be the one to protect me? Is it because you are the strongest?"

Gojo Satoru shook his head, denying Geto Suguru's statement about being the strongest for the first time.

"No," he said, "being the strongest is something you say to others. I can't deceive myself by saying I'm the strongest in front of Mr. Getsu."

Xia Yujie reminded him suddenly, "You told me two or three times before."

"Hahaha~" Gojo Satoru laughed, "Getsuyu-san has a really good memory. That's just something I'm used to."

Geto Suguru was leaning on the low cabinet with his hands, staring blankly, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"If you only focus on becoming the strongest and spend your time pursuing this one unattainable goal, you will lose more. When your attention is completely focused on this one thing, you will often ignore other things or people."

Geto Suguru's eyelashes trembled as he thought of Gojo Satoru who had just mastered the reversal technique.

He couldn't describe Gojo Satoru's state accurately at that time, but he was visibly in a state of excitement. All the nerves in his body were excited, clamoring for the owner of this body to reach a higher level in ability.

Whenever Gojo Satoru has time every day, he would take himself and Nozomi to look at some of his new abilities. By applying the reversal technique to other techniques, he would get new techniques effects.

That was something he could never comprehend or understand no matter what. The teenager at that time could not comprehend it, and he did not understand it until he died ten years later.

Geto Suguru thought, if after being slashed twice and kicked away by Fushiguro Shige, he was stabbed in the heart or brain again by the opponent, at the moment of death, would he be able to understand the mystery like Gojo Satoru?

But no, so when a series of things hit and consumed him, Gojo Satoru, who was fully devoted to the proficiency of reversal techniques, seemed to be in two completely different worlds from him.

There is a transparent barrier between these two worlds. They can see each other, but their hearts are getting further and further apart.

If he hadn't been so obsessed with becoming stronger at that time, he would have been able to divert his attention and give himself a little attention.

If I didn't get so stuck in a rut and told him about the troubles in my heart.

If that is the case, if we don’t immerse ourselves blindly and relax appropriately when it is time to relax, wouldn’t there be all those problems later?

Geto Suguru thought his thoughts were a little funny, and he also thought Gojo Satoru's words were funny.

To be honest, no one would be distracted by doing other things when faced with the opportunity to improve their strength, and the same goes for me.

"To say something like that, you're obviously too young."

"I'm speaking the truth."

Geto Suguru didn't say anything else. Gojo Satoru sighed and became serious for a rare moment.

He said, "Actually, I really like Mr. Getsu, so I want to protect the one I love."

Even though the topic had been diverted to other things, Gojo Satoru still wanted to tell Geto Suguru what was in his heart.

Geto Suguru, who was in a daze, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this. He looked at Gojo Satoru in the mirror. Gojo Satoru was lowering his head and looking at something, and their eyes did not meet.

Xia Yujie heard Gojo Satoru continue, "You know, I have a very bad personality. So bad that I don't have many friends. No matter whether it's my seniors or my juniors, they don't seem to like me very much. And there are very few people I like either. Apart from my lovely students, I like Mr. Xia Yu very much."

After he finished speaking, Gojo Satoru glanced at Geto Suguru. In the mirror, Geto Suguru's wide-open eyes slowly returned to their normal state, and his narrow and slightly charming eyes dimmed in an instant.

Xia Yujie blinked a few times and lowered his head again. The corners of his mouth curled up bitterly, full of mockery of himself.

Humph~ What are you thinking about?

The so-called liking is the liking between friends with similar meanings, just like those students of Gojo Satoru, it’s just this kind of liking.

Geto Suguru thought it was funny that his heart beat faster just by hearing the word "like".

"So, because I like you, I want to protect you," Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows and moved closer. He said to Geto with a hint of joking, "If Mr. Geto wants to protect me at all costs, I will think that Mr. Geto likes me too."

This time, Geto Suguru still didn't say anything, and Gojo Satoru didn't try to guess what Geto Suguru was thinking.

My eyes returned to the red and swollen area on Geto Suguru's shoulder. A small part of it was coated with medicated oil, which gave it an ambiguous and healthy shiny luster under the soft light.

Gojo Satoru shook his head. "That won't work. For a new injury, especially one like this, it's best to apply ice on the first day. This will reduce the extent of the hematoma. Glass said that this will help the capillaries close early, and the area of the hematoma will also be reduced."

Geto's muted response, "Is that so?"

"Well, Mr. Geto Suguru, wait a moment. I'll get some ice."

After Gojo Satoru finished speaking, he walked out of the bedroom. Geto Suguru stood in front of the low cabinet with a listless look, maintaining the same posture as before.

He felt that he had done something unnecessary. The other party was Gojo Satoru. Was there anything in this world that could hurt Gojo Satoru, who possessed a technique with no lower limits?

Why should I go to such lengths to protect him?

[My existence is still meaningless to Wu, right? ]

Can't protect him, can't catch up to him, can't be him.

A flash of lightning flashed outside the window, and a few seconds later the thunder came as expected.

A huge thunder exploded at the window, startling Geto Suguru so much that he couldn't help but shudder.

He looked at himself in the mirror a little dazedly, wondering if he had almost gotten into a dead end again.

He exhaled slowly, pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile, and whispered to himself: "Didn't we agree not to let our imaginations run wild, Xia Yujie, don't let your imaginations run wild."
