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

"Since your surname is Gojo, is this a change from an outsider to a righteous person?" Xia Yujie suddenly found it interesting.

Gojo Satoru also found it interesting, "Yes, yes, that's right, this shows that you have abandoned evil and turned to good!"

Geto Suguru sighed slightly. Gojo Satoru always seemed to be able to come up with various reasons.

"You're freezing, are you stupid?"

He took off his coat and put it on Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru accompanied Geto Suguru to his parents' grave. Geto Suguru was wearing warm clothes, so he gave him the coat and he didn't refuse.

"You finally remembered that I was cold, so you should have put clothes on me. Otherwise, if Auntie saw it later, she would be angry that you didn't take good care of me."

Xia Yujie was speechless, "That's my mother, why should she side with you?"

Gojo Satoru was thicker-skinned than a city wall. "Hehe, because I'm cute, uncles and aunts like me."

Xia Youjie: "..."

"Jie, when you came here a few times in the past, did you introduce me in another identity?"

Standing in front of Geto Suguru's parents' grave, Gojo Satoru asked Geto Suguru a little awkwardly.

Xia Yujie was puzzled, with three question marks popping up above his head, "What identity?"

"Uh..." Gojo Satoru stammered, "Like, husband, wife, or something."

Xia Yujie stared at him for two minutes before he suddenly realized, "You mean..."

"Yeah," Gojo Satoru nodded. "My parents have already tacitly accepted that you and I are in a relationship. What about you? Have you explained me to them? Have you told them that I'm not just your lover now, but also the one who will be with you for the rest of your life?"

Gojo Satoru spoke frankly, but Geto Suguru's face inexplicably turned red.

"What are you saying at my parents' grave?"

Gojo Satoru pouted, "Suguru Jie, you're not going to deny it, are you, you scumbag!"

"Scumbag, scumbag?"

The two childish guys quarreled in front of the grave of the Takeuchi couple, their faces red with anger. Thanks to Gojo Satoru, Takeuchi was no longer as reserved as he was at the beginning after the quarrel.

He can talk to his parents more naturally and can also face the fact that today is his birthday.

"From now on, I will celebrate my birthday every year because someone will want to say happy birthday to me, send me birthday wishes, buy me delicious strawberry cake, and let me blow out the candles."

Geto Suguru faced the grave without a tombstone and tried to let go of the past for the first time. Just as Gojo Satoru said on the way here, the sinful Geto Suguru had died on Christmas Eve 2017, and the one standing in front of the grave now was their son Geto Suguru.

Gojo Satoru smiled beside him. He was even happier than Geto Suguru.

He said to Geto's parents with a smile, "Didn't I tell you on this day, 18 years ago, that I would always buy Geto a birthday cake? I bought one today. On the way back from here, we'll pass by a dessert shop. I ordered a huge strawberry cake, and it will be densely packed with birthday candles."

Gojo Satoru counted on his fingers, "Jay was born in 1990, so now he's... wow, he's already a 34-year-old uncle. I need to light 34 candles."

Xia Yujie was furious. "How dare you, a guy who is only two months older than me, look down on me because I'm an older man!"

Gojo Satoru displayed his shameless spirit and said, "How old am I? I'm only in my twenties."

Geto Suguru: “……!”

At this moment, Geto Xiayou suddenly felt a hand on his face, and that hand was gently and tenderly stroking his face.

He turned around in surprise and saw a rather incredible scene.

He felt that he saw his father and mother. Compared with more than ten years ago, his parents had not aged at all and still looked the same as before.

The person he was once very afraid of in his dreams unexpectedly appeared before him in the form of a spirit on such an evening, when the devil's time was approaching.

[Xiaojie has completely let it go~] Mom said with a smile.

Xia Yujie stared blankly, seeing his parents smiling at him, but it was not the same as the last scene in his memory. They did not look angry, painful or frightened, but smiled again.

"You should have let go of the past long ago. Don't keep looking for us to atone for your past sins. We understand your original difficulties and the great cause you want to achieve. Your mother and I see it clearly."

[The one who did the wrong thing, Xiaojie, paid the price with his life on Christmas Eve 17. Now you can live a new life with a clean conscience. We forgive you, so please don't come to us too soon.]

"Dad, mom..."

【Live the life you want. We will always love you, my child.】

The spirit turned into golden light, and these star-like lights floated towards the sky with the afterglow of the setting sun.

Geto Suguru kept watching until he finally came to his senses when he felt Gojo Satoru's hand on his shoulder.

He heard Gojo Satoru say, "Because the bondage formed by Jie's pain and obsession has finally been broken, your parents can now finally escape from the world and become Buddhas. This is a good thing."

It turns out that not only I can see it, it turns out that this is not an illusion, Gojo Satoru can also see it.

He nodded. "Yes, they both liberated themselves. They... became Buddhas."

After staring at the direction where the light faded for a long time, Geto slowly came to his senses. He looked at Gojo Satoru a little confused and asked him, "What did you mean by 18 years ago today?"

"Ah~ I wanted to take a few hours to celebrate your birthday, but then I saw you ignored the day like nothing happened, so I didn't dare. In the end, I came here and talked to my uncle and aunt for a while."

Has Gojo Satoru been thinking about celebrating his birthday since then?

He remembered that Gojo Satoru at that time was the busiest since they met, so busy that they only met twice a month. In such a busy period, this guy actually took a few hours out of his schedule to sneak back from another place, just because he wanted to celebrate his birthday?

What happened back then is all in the past, and Gojo Satoru is not someone who dwells on the past.

He smiled and raised his hand towards Geto Suguru, shaking the yellow diamond ring on his left middle finger for Geto to see.

"This pair of rings was actually my birthday gift that day. Even though I gave it to you later, it can still be considered a birthday gift, right?"

Geto Xia Yu didn't know what to say. He could only look at him with tears in his eyes, unable to utter a single word.

Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow, feeling very proud of his own romanticism.

He shamelessly leaned close to Geto Xia Yu's face, stared at his handsome face, and asked him in a mean way, "Are you so moved that you're about to cry?"

The person who was about to cry didn't want to cry anymore after being asked this question. "I'm not going to cry at all."

"Ah, I really envy you, Jie. I envy you for having such a good lover like me~"

Can you die without boasting?

but--

Geto Suguru took off the ring on his middle finger, and his action made Gojo Satoru unable to laugh anymore.

The panicked people thought he was angry and hurriedly begged for mercy and apologized to him.

"No, don't take it off. I was wrong, isn't that okay? I've already put it on, why should I take it off?"

Gojo Satoru's voice was filled with a hint of despair and tears, "Jay, you can't joke about this kind of thing. It's not funny at all."

A blue diamond ring sparkling in the sunset was handed to Gojo Satoru. To Gojo Satoru's surprise, Geto Suguru smiled gently at him.

The smile was genuine and refreshing like the first spring breeze.

"...Jay?"

Following Suguru Geto's hand, he also handed over his left hand.

Geto Xia Yu looked at Gojo Satoru and laughed heartily. He said, "Please put it on my ring finger for me."

The world seemed to have become a vacuum, and no sound could be heard. Gojo Satoru looked at the person who was smiling at him stupidly, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"……Aha?"

Xia Yujie pursed his lips and smiled even more, urging: "I don't want to be a scumbag, so since I'm committed to you for life, I should change the ring to another finger, right?"

"...Ring finger...?"

Gojo Satoru's cautious look was really interesting, but at this time, Geto Suguru didn't want to tease him.

If you play a prank on your life partner in front of your parents' grave, will they come to you in your dreams and teach you a lesson?

"Ah," Xia Yujie nodded, "ring finger."

On Geto Suguru's birthday, the person who had the most wishes fulfilled was Gojo Satoru.

The birthday cake was bought, birthday wishes were sent, and the birthday gift that was once hidden from the public appeared where it should have been. Even Geto Suguru himself was completely redeemed.

On the way back, Gojo Satoru still couldn't hide the happy smile on his lips. He touched Geto Suguru's shoulder and couldn't help but say to him.

"Jie, I feel so happy. Very, very happy."

Xia Yujie smiled and asked him, "Why?"

A happy person shakes his head. If he had a tail, it would definitely shake like a propeller.

"After my rebirth, I got everything I wanted. Whether it was you, revolutionizing the world of spells, or protecting my companions, if these were my dreams, they have all come true."

"Am I your dream too?"

Gojo Satoru nodded, "Of course, Jie is my dream, the most beautiful dream in my hasty life."

Other dreams are always accompanied by bloodshed, but this dream is the only one that gives him nothing but love.

Gojo Satoru hugged Geto Suguru's arm and rubbed against him like a kitten, "Geto Suguru, can I make a promise with you for the next life?"

"Huh?" Geto Xia Yu laughed so hard at this. "We've all been reborn once. Do you think we'll be reborn again? We might even be reborn as animals."

"I want to become a cat, Xiao Wu, Wu Mi, Wu Jiang, or even a snow leopard."

Geto Xia Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll turn into a fox. When we meet in the next life, Wu must not forget me, a fox with strange bangs."

This is the love of my life, how could I forget it?

Gojo Satoru nodded hurriedly, and the two of them looked into each other's eyes and smiled.

Laughing, Gojo Satoru pressed him again, "Jie, do you feel happy?"

Geto Xia Yu tightened his arms and nodded solemnly, "I'm very happy, so thank you for saving me, Wu."

Starting over again, Gojo Satoru was finally not left behind. He caught up with his best friend, and they went from being best friends to being lovers. His abandoned cat effect, and Geto Suguru's mental illness, they were reborn and redeemed in each other's love.

"I like you," one couldn't help but confess.

The other one responded, “Me too.”

The setting sun gradually went down the mountain, the afterglow was warm and yellow, the shadows lengthened, and the love and happiness between the two of them always accompanied them.

on the way……
