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

the first time?

Xia Yujie pursed his lips unconsciously, "Is that so?"

seems like it.

Rinko nodded. "I asked other teachers, and they said you never asked them to help you either. To be honest, before this, I always thought you were a weird person, Teacher Gouyu, but now I don't think so anymore."

After Rinko left the office, Geto Suguru was the only one left in this not-so-big office.

The office was surprisingly quiet, with only the sounds of the computer running and the air conditioner roaring.

The computer screen went into automatic blackout because it hadn't been used for a few minutes. Xia Yujie held his chin with one hand and looked out the window. This was the second floor, the blinds were open, and he could see the broad, green leaves of the plane tree outside.

The sight of green seemed to remind him of the long tree-lined avenue within the Jujutsu High School campus. That was where he and Gojo Satoru first met, and it was also there that they agreed to catch a lot of cicadas together when they had time.

Last night, they made such an agreement again and looked forward to fulfilling it as soon as possible.

While drinking the coffee bought by Rinko, Geto suddenly realized that the other party was a very noisy person. A cup of coffee seemed to have brought the two of them closer. The woman who had never chatted with him before began to be curious about his private life at this time.

"Teacher Getsu, are you happy today?" The other person smiled at him while holding a coffee cup.

Geto Suguru, who was drinking coffee, was stunned, blinked a few times and looked across.

Rinko smiled at him and said, "Teacher Geto seems to be in a particularly good mood today. Since I saw you this morning, I noticed that you have been smiling all day long."

Being suddenly pointed out by the other party, Xia Yujie felt a little uncomfortable, "Really?"

Rinko nodded. "Every time I relax my eyes and look away from the computer screen, I can see you smiling. Before, I always saw you with a slight frown on your face."

In private, Geto Suguru is actually not very good at chatting with the monkeys. He meets his colleagues every day, and they are different from those who are classified as students. He can't do it with ease.

"Yesterday, I met a friend I hadn't seen for a long time."

"Wow, are they really close?"

Xia Yujie thought about it while holding the cup of coffee, then nodded, "Well, we haven't seen each other for ten years."

"Ten years?" Rinko was surprised. "Did he go abroad during that time?"

"Huh?" This idea was something that Geto Suguru had not expected.

Rinko smiled apologetically, "Because you seem so happy, it means that he/she means a lot to you, right? If that's the case, how could we not have seen each other for ten years if we're both in China? Whether it's in Tokyo or somewhere else, as long as we're in China, we should be able to see each other if we want, right?"

If you want to see her, you can still see her - this sentence was like a sledgehammer hitting Geto Suguru's heart, making his breathing disordered for a moment.

For ordinary people, they can see their friends whenever they want, but for him, he had to endure it for ten years.

During those ten years, he had thought about secretly going to see his friends at the technical college, to see his closest friends whom he cared about the most, but he stubbornly held back.

In order to let go of the past, he made a huge sacrifice. He would rather miss the other person secretly in the dead of night than look at her. He was so stubborn that it was incomprehensible.

Mimiko and Nanako once asked him who Gojo Satoru was, a person he didn't know how to describe.

Faced with a person who was as brilliant and dazzling as the sun, he had envied, felt inferior to, indulged, and had a sincere relationship with her. Even though they were in different positions, he had never wanted to hurt such a person.

That's what he once wanted to be.

Those less than three years were a very beautiful time in his life. He was even reluctant to talk about it when others asked him about it. It was like a treasure that he had carefully hidden away, and he was reluctant to show it to others, leaving it for himself to ruminate and savor silently.

How did he answer the two children at that time?

"He's my only true friend." Just like he was telling Rinko now.

"Best friends, then the relationship must be very good, how come we haven't seen each other for ten years?"

He replied the same way as he did to Mimiko and Nanako, "We just had a fight."

"Is that so? Then, Mr. Gouyu, you must explain things clearly to your friend this time. Friends, especially close friends, are very rare. What problems can't be solved by two people? Just talk it out."

"Yeah," Xia Yujie responded softly. He looked out the blinds again and said with a smile, "We'll meet again this afternoon and have dinner together. Those conflicts no longer exist. This time, we shouldn't be apart for so long."

Geto Xiayou couldn't wait to get off work. After getting out of the subway, he went to the supermarket to buy the ingredients needed for dinner.

The onions, potatoes, carrots and chicken were all chopped by the supermarket. He also spent some time in the spice section and bought some curry.

Today's fruit is a few strawberries. I still remember that Gojo Satoru loved eating strawberries when he was in technical high school. At that time, when the two of them went on missions together, Gojo Satoru would always buy various snacks to eat, under the pretext of replenishing the consumed physical strength and relieving stress.

Whenever he buys snacks, he will give priority to those with strawberry filling. If it is a strawberry cake, he will cunningly eat the strawberries on his piece of cake in one bite while he is not paying attention.

Before I could condemn him, he would show weakness first, "I think it's about to fall. It's better for me to eat it than for it to fall on the ground, right, Jay?"

There are countless such bizarre reasons, and Geto Suguru can't seem to say anything except sighing.

If you think about it carefully, he seems to have always been very accommodating to Gojo Satoru. Because they are friends, he is willing to accommodate him in this way, to the point of doting.

Later, he realized that it was not just friends that made him willing to unconditionally accommodate others. It was not just for this reason.

By the time he found out, it was after they had separated. They were in two different positions, unable to continue being friends, and felt awkward about each other's identities.

Fortunately, he was reborn when Gojo Satoru was twenty years old, and when Gojo Satoru did not know Geto Suguru.

If you don't know him, you won't know that there was once a curse master named Geto Suguru in this world, and you won't know that the person he regarded as a best friend became a curse named Geto Suguru.

And he ended the curse with his own hands.

Such pain will never happen. Gojo Satoru will still be the bright and cheerful Gojo Satoru with a bad personality but who is not annoying. He does not have to go through the pain of growing up, and he can laugh as wildly as before.
