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

That night, Geto Suguru couldn't sleep as usual.

In fact, since the beginning of summer, the sudden increase in workload has almost taken up all of his time. People often feel tired when they are busy, and fatigue is a very good sleeping pill.

Compared with the winter and spring when he was just reborn, his sleep quality has improved a lot. He drags his tired body home every day. Standing for a long time makes his calves swollen. Unlike when he exercised every day before, he has to admit that this body is really a bit delicate.

I dragged my "delicate" and tired body to make a simple dinner, ate it alone in silence, then took a shower, and finally climbed into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Good sleep allows him to concentrate on being a qualified lecturer during the day. The speaking talent he acquired in his previous life as the leader of the Panxing Sect actually allows him to make a living after his rebirth without having to use the ability to exorcise cursed spirits, which is also good.

A human's monthly salary was too little for him. It was so little that when he first received his salary, he repeatedly confirmed it for a long time. He stared at it for so long that the words displayed on the ATM machine became blurred, and he still couldn't believe it.

When working as a sorcerer, the salary is very considerable, and the monthly salary is even determined by the number of cursed spirits exorcised, their strength, and the number of business trips.

Even when he was still a student in a technical college, he could earn a considerable amount of money because of his outstanding task ability and special level.

Later, after taking over the Panxing Sect, the amount of money that passed through his hands was astonishing.

He almost forgot how much money an ordinary person could earn every month. Fortunately, he had a strong ability to adapt and accepted this situation in just three months.

He earned an average salary and did an average job. His family members used to do the same thing, but later...

Many things tormented him and prevented him from sleeping. Later, after gradually adapting, he was able to fall asleep without relying on drugs.

However, he met Gojo Satoru very suddenly, and the other party happened to move into the room next to his.

This completely disrupted his pace and caught him in a rapidly spinning vortex, where he couldn't hold on to anything, but was letting go of something, and then he began to feel restless.

Gojo Satoru, his best friend Gojo Satoru, the guy who was known as the strongest sorcerer of the time, the guy who finally ended his own life.

If it weren't for the age discrepancy, he would even suspect that the other party had deliberately come to find him in order to completely kill him, the evil curse master.

However, it seems that this is not the case. It seems that it is just a coincidence that Gojo Satoru lives next door to him.

During dinner, Geto Suguru tentatively asked him why he moved here. How did Wu answer?

He said: "I am not very happy living in school. There are no classmates. It is very boring. The juniors are too serious. My personality is not popular with them."

He added: "I happened to see this house when I passed by. At that time, there was a rent sign outside. I have always kept it in my mind, thinking that if I can move out of school one day, I must rent one of the rooms. It's very quiet here, isn't it? You can see the river and the forest when you open the window. The environment is great."

"Besides, it's relatively close to my school. It only takes about ten minutes to get there by bus."

Yes, when I decided to rent this place, my reason was similar to Gojo Satoru’s.

Gojo Satoru seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said excitedly, "When it's midsummer here, there must be a lot of cicadas in the woods."

"Eh?" Xia Yujie, holding the chopsticks, was stunned by his jumping thoughts for a moment. He repeated: "You mean cicada?"

"Ah," Gojo Satoru nodded like a chick pecking at rice. He pouted and muttered in distress, "I don't remember who told me that cicadas live underground before they shed their shells. At night, they crawl out of their holes and climb up trees. They can't fly at this time, so they're easy to catch. Who told me that?"

He frowned, but soon laughed again. His hearty laughter sounded like surging waves, one higher than the other. The waves rolled heavily over Geto Suguru's heart, making it extremely wet.

His existence seemed to have been ruthlessly erased, but not completely.

No one remembers him, but the memory of him exists in another form.

"Do you still like catching cicadas now?" asked Geto Suguru.

Gojo Satoru thought for a moment and nodded, "I didn't do these things when I was a child. My family wouldn't let me do such things anymore. Actually..."

"..." Geto Xia Yu looked at him quietly and listened to him continue.

"My family was very boring, so my childhood was also very boring. It wasn't just the cicadas. Later I realized that I had never done many things that were very common to others."

"Uh," Geto Suguru suddenly didn't know what to say. This was something he didn't know before.

The Gojo Satoru that existed in Geto Suguru High School's memory did not say much about himself. As a close friend, Gojo Satoru avoided talking about it, so he tacitly agreed not to ask about it.

Everyone has things they don’t want to talk about. If others don’t want to talk about it, don’t ask. Stick to the bottom line of your interactions with each other.

Now, after being reborn, Gojo Satoru told these things to him, a stranger.

Geto Suguru couldn't explain his inner feelings at the moment. He couldn't deny his friendship with Gojo Satoru. Perhaps there were some things he didn't want to tell his friends, and telling a stranger would make it easier for people to speak up.

"When June or July comes, let's go catch cicadas together and see whose cicada sings the loudest."

When he came to his senses, Geto Suguru had already said this.

Gojo Satoru had finished his meal and put down his chopsticks to look at him. Geto Suguru also looked at him. The two looked at each other for a long time, and then Gojo Satoru smiled and nodded.

He still looked nonchalant, like a frivolous little ruffian.

"Okay, okay. I've never caught one before. I must catch a lot at once. There will always be one that screams the loudest. I will win."

Geto Xia Yu lowered his head slightly, but finally couldn't help laughing.

Catching cicadas is probably only fun when you are a child. Few adults like this kind of thing anymore, perhaps because they are busy, perhaps because they dislike it as childish, or perhaps they have simply developed other hobbies after passing that age.

He really couldn't imagine two grown men going to the forest to catch cicadas with a net and a cage. It must be very funny, right?

The two of them were about to do again what they had done in their youth, but their moods were completely different.
