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

Gojo Satoru is so enthusiastic and impatient today. Is he trying to celebrate his birthday?

It's ridiculous, he knows he never celebrates his birthday, doesn't he?

However, before he went out this morning, Gojo Satoru's cautious and eager look at him appeared in his mind.

No matter how hard he tried, that look seemed to be engraved on his brain, unable to be shaken off or forgotten.

Leaning his back against the window frame, Geto Suguru couldn't help but think of the past few years.

A few years ago, on his birthday, Gojo Satoru was acting abnormally. He wanted to do something but didn't dare to do anything. He could only timidly pay attention to his mood.

At that time, he should have wanted to celebrate his birthday, right?

However, I was concerned about my own mood and did not do anything.

In the future, they will live together for many, many years and have many birthdays. Does he have to see Gojo Satoru so nervous and expectant on every birthday?

Geto Suguru thought about the time when he celebrated Gojo Satoru's birthday. No matter whether he prepared a gift or not, no matter what flavor the cake was, no matter what his blessing was, as long as he showed some appreciation, he would be as happy as a child who got candy.

I'm really happy. It's because Gojo Satoru felt happy celebrating his birthday that I thought of doing something on my own birthday to make myself feel that same happiness, right?

Geto Suguru looked at the hill again, and a rare look of guilt and uneasiness that only a child could see appeared in his eyes.

"Mom, if I..."

Geto Suguru was a little speechless, but he felt that he couldn't go on like this. He had done many wrong things, and at least in this matter, he shouldn't let down those who wanted to be good to him.

Gojo Satoru rolled back and forth on the carpet, hoping that Geto Suguru would take the time to reply to him.

It was not until this moment that he understood what kind of feeling Xia Yujie had when he was so busy that he could not go home for a long time and Xia Yujie was waiting for him in this house alone with a mobile phone.

"What is Jie doing?" Gojo Satoru lay on the carpet, holding up his phone and waiting for a reply.

"Are you in a meeting? Exorcising a cursed spirit? Or giving a lecture?"

Just as Gojo Satoru was looking at his phone and wondering what Geto Suguru was doing at the moment, his phone suddenly rang.

The sudden noise scared Gojo Satoru so much that the phone fell from his hand and hit his highly superior nose. If he didn't have no shame, he felt that he would definitely bleed from his nose.

Gojo Satoru hurriedly picked up the phone and saw that it was Geto Suguru calling.

The shock he had just felt turned into happiness in an instant because of the name that appeared on the phone screen. Gojo Satoru quickly got up and sat cross-legged. He answered the call from Geto Suguru.

"Have you returned home yet?" Xia Yujie asked him.

"Yeah, I got back an hour ago. I had nothing to do at school, so I left early."

"Hey~ Night Moth actually let you go."

"Of course. I'm not the first-grade homeroom teacher now. There's no reason for him to monopolize my time."

"Has the grass by the riverbank turned green yet?"

When Geto Suguru asked this, Gojo Satoru couldn't control the smile on his lips. Even though he knew Geto Suguru couldn't see it, he still wanted to nod.

"Yes, yes, it might be because there are no trees there, the sunlight is so bright, and yes, there is also plenty of water. With such unique conditions, it should sprout and turn green early, right?"

Gojo Satoru couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to be busy until late today? What time can you come back?"

"You can go back as normal, but, Wu, can you come to Panxing Sect?"

"Huh?" Gojo Satoru was stunned. "Why? Did something happen over there?"

When he asked this, Geto Xia Yu didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Um...um...never mind. Wait for me at home. I'll be back soon."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yujie turned down the upcoming meeting with foreign representatives and postponed it to tomorrow afternoon, saying that he had something to do.

After putting on his coat and walking out of the gate of Panxing Sect, Xia Yujie turned into the small path leading to the back mountain.

Originally, he wanted to ask Gojo Satoru to go with him, but when the words came to his lips, he felt embarrassed to say it.

No matter how much time has passed, this incident and the parents involved in it are scars in his heart that will never heal.

In daily life, the two of them have a tacit understanding and will not bring up the matter proactively. As time goes by, if they want to talk about it again, it will become a bit obscure and difficult to speak.

Geto Suguru walked up the mountain slowly, and during this time he could also enjoy the scenery along the way.

The temperature this year is slightly higher than in previous years. Even though the beginning of spring is tomorrow, when you look up the mountain, you can see that the sunny valley has already turned green.

Just as Gojo Satoru said, spring always arrives first in places with unique natural conditions.

Maybe it will only take a month. When you look back after a month, the mountains and fields will turn into a pleasing green, and the mountain cherry blossoms in the sunny areas will also have plump buds.

As he went to higher and higher places, the wind in the mountains gradually became stronger.

The wind blew through the gaps between the evergreen trees, blowing coolly on his face. Geto Suguru raised his hand and touched his cheek, which was icy cold.

Geto Suguru sighed and continued walking forward, but at this moment he heard footsteps coming closer and closer.

Who could be here at this time?

Who came here without his permission?

Geto Suguru frowned, turned around and wanted to question the other party, but when he saw that the person running towards him was Gojo Satoru, he was stunned.

Gojo Satoru ran towards him with a worried look on his face. His hair was messy and he was wearing grey cotton sweatpants and a black long-sleeved T-shirt, which he only wore at home. He looked completely at home.

No, how come he suddenly appeared here dressed like this?

Wait, are those slippers on his feet?

"Satoru?"

Geto Suguru stared blankly at the person who came in front of him. After Gojo Satoru saw Geto Suguru standing there well, the worry on his face gradually disappeared.

The man, whose breathing was a little heavy due to running all the way up, let out a long breath, and the next second, his tone immediately became lighter.

"That's great. I thought something happened to you. I'm relieved that you're okay."

Geto Xia Yu looked Gojo Satoru up and down, feeling somewhat helpless. "You came out just because you were worried about me?"

It was only then that Gojo Satoru noticed that he had forgotten to change his clothes.

He scratched his hair nonchalantly, "Ah, you suddenly stopped me from coming again. I really didn't plan to come, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, so I used teleportation to come to Panxing Sect."

Gojo Satoru pouted, "I couldn't find you in the Bankei Cult. That vicious-mouthed Miss Suda said you went to the back mountain, so I followed you all the way here. Ah, no wonder she looked at me with such disgust, was it because I didn't change my clothes?"

Just because you were worried about him, you even forgot to change your clothes and rushed over?

At this moment, Geto Suguru suddenly felt fortunate that Gojo Satoru was wearing home clothes. If he had been taking a bath at that time, eh~

I can’t imagine that scene. I’ll probably be arrested as a gangster, right?

"...Why did you think of coming here?" Gojo Satoru knew what was on the mountain, and guessed why Geto Suguru appeared here, but he was not very sure.

However, he then heard Xia Yujie whisper: "Today is my birthday, I should come and talk to my mother, right?"

"Ah—today is Jay's birthday. What a coincidence! I ordered a super-large strawberry cake from a dessert shop near our house. I can... use it to make..."

His acting was so poor that one could tell at a glance that he was lying.

"Well," Xia Yujie did not expose or object, but continued along with Gojo Satoru's words, "It can be used as a birthday cake, haha, what a coincidence."

After carefully observing Geto Suguru's expression and realizing that he wasn't being sarcastic but was genuinely smiling from the heart, Gojo Satoru's heart finally settled down.

"That's right, what a coincidence. Speaking of which, when Jay first called, he wanted me to come over here. Did he want me to come with you to talk to them?"

Geto Suguru didn't say anything, but his silence said it all.

"Why should I be embarrassed to say such things? Isn't this as it should be? In the past few years, Jay has also taken time to come here, right? Why didn't he invite me? I talk so much, and my uncle and aunt will definitely like to listen to me."

Geto Xia Yu lowered his eyes, his crow-feather eyelashes trembling. He was silent for a long time before he had to tell Gojo Satoru, "No matter what, I will feel ashamed to do this, but this time..."

Gojo Satoru looked at him expectantly, "What's wrong this time?"

"Satoru," Xia Yujie never had the courage to look up, "This time, I want to truly let go."

"..."

Gojo Satoru looked at Geto Suguru in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that such words came out of Geto Suguru's mouth.

Geto Suguru, who had been troubled by this matter, pretending to be fine on the surface but actually cared a lot about it and even felt guilty about being happy, suddenly told him today that he was going to let it go.

Let go of the guilt and sin, let go of the pain and self-blame, be willing to sincerely accept and embrace the world again just because you are still alive, and be willing to reconcile with him.

Gojo Satoru opened his mouth. He felt that what Geto Suguru did was absolutely right, and he wanted to praise him.

However, at this moment, Geto Suguru was like a child who had done something wrong. He stood there with his head hung low, and he looked as if he was about to break.

It was not easy for Geto Suguru to be able to say such words and to start over. Perhaps it was not until this moment that Geto Suguru had his true rebirth.

"Jie..."

The mountain breeze blew past them, and the little squirrel hiding in the treetops poked its head out to take a look.

The crow folded its wings and landed on a branch in the dusk light, but the sparrows scattered because of its sudden appearance.

Gojo Satoru stretched out his arms and embraced him in his arms. His big hands stroked Geto Suguru's back through his coat and cassock to comfort him.

"They must be happy that you finally figured it out. What happened has already happened, and so much time has passed. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not forgive you. But since they are your parents, then they will definitely forgive you."

Geto Suguru leaned on Gojo Satoru's chest. Through a thin layer of cotton cloth, he could feel the echo caused by the vibration of Gojo Satoru's chest when he spoke.

"Now that things have come to this, live your life well. That sinful Geto was killed by Gojo Satoru himself on Christmas Eve 2017. You, full of sin, have already paid the price of your life for your actions. Rebirth is a new beginning, and it's time to write off the past."

Rebirth means new life. The sinful Geto Suguru died on Christmas Eve 2017. Is he new now?

"Hey," Gojo Satoru let go of Geto Suguru, put his hands on Geto Suguru's shoulders, and said, "If you don't think this is enough to make you a freshman, you can consider changing your name, such as Geto... Geto..."

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with another name that suited Geto, so he simply said, "Why not take my last name Gojo? Gojo Geto is not bad either. Taking the husband's last name is very common in Japan."

"I'm not marrying you..."

"What's the difference between our current situation and marriage? Of course I can take your last name as Gosho. Isn't this just changing your name so you can have a complete new life~"

This is clearly nonsense, isn't it?
