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

Geto Xia Yu sat on a chair to change the dressing. He took off his shirt and revealed his upper body covered with scars.

Gojo Satoru folded his arms and watched from the side, watching the nurse carefully cut the bandage knot with scissors, watching her untie the bandages circle by circle, until the hideous wound on Geto Suguru's left abdomen was exposed before his eyes.

The man who was originally standing against the wall lost his ease when he saw the sutured wound that looked like a centipede. He lifted his back from the wall and stood up straight.

The length of the wound was about the same as an adult male's palm. The stitches made by the doctor were clearly visible. The constant changing of the dressing had dyed the skin near the wound yellow, which was completely different from other parts of the body.

The swelling of the wound has subsided, but there is still some blood clots that have not yet dispersed, and the sutures make Gojo Satoru frown.

With some not-so-pleasant memories in his mind, he now seemed to be unable to bear the sight of things like sutures.

The cotton wool held by the tweezers was gently wiped back and forth on the suture. It was a little painful but more of an itch. Xia Yujie frowned slightly, raised his head and focused his attention on the wound.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Gojo Satoru frowning. He could tell at a glance that Gojo Satoru was in a very tense state.

Xia Yujie forced a smile and waved his hand at him, "Satoru should go out first."

He said this, but Gojo Satoru stubbornly didn't move, "No need, I'm here with you."

"But I feel a little uncomfortable with you here, so why don't you wait for me on a chair in the rest area outside?"

After Geto Suguru said this, Gojo Satoru hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Only Geto Suguru and the nurse were left in the small room, and the nurse asked Geto Suguru a lot of questions.

"Who was that handsome guy just now? Is he your brother?"

"No, they are friends."

"So it was really about you that he came to inquire about..."

Hearing this, Xia Yujie was stunned, "What do you mean?"

The nurse threw away the cotton wool, thought carefully, and said, "A few days ago, your friend came to inquire about someone injured and seeking medical treatment here. He wasn't very clear, and after he mentioned the name, we weren't sure if it was you or someone named Xia Yujie. Doctors have an obligation to maintain patient confidentiality, so no one told him. Later, he left unwillingly."

After saying that, the nurse smiled again and said, "This kind of thing has happened before. If your friend wasn't so handsome, I probably wouldn't have remembered him at all."

"When exactly?"

The nurse thought about it carefully and said, "About... around the evening of a week ago. I wasn't sure if it was to inquire about you, so I didn't tell you the first few times you came."

Geto Xia Yu frowned slightly, and he suddenly felt that things were becoming a little strange.

A week ago, it should have been when Gojo Satoru sent me a message saying that he was going on a business trip. Did he already know that he was injured at that time?

He knew about it, but he didn't tell me or ask me. He just pretended to know nothing and went on a business trip?

Xia Yujie felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

When Geto Suguru came out after changing the medicine, he saw Gojo Satoru sitting in the rest area from a distance. The man was sitting there with his legs apart, his elbows resting on his thighs, his hands folded, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The Gojo Satoru who was sitting there now seemed to be two different people from the Gojo Satoru who was chatting and laughing on the way here. To be honest, the Gojo Satoru who was sitting there now, exuding an aura of keeping strangers away, really looked like the Gojo Satoru who he had only met twice in his memory and who had just celebrated his 29th birthday.

He is mature, steady, has a strong aura, and has grown into a reliable adult.

However, that Gojo Satoru was not the same person as the one in front of him now. That Gojo Satoru was living well in his own world, not...

Geto Xiayou stopped thinking about it, he had other questions he wanted to ask.

"Satoru," Geto Suguru walked over, stood in front of Gojo Satoru and called him.

Gojo Satoru slowly raised his head, and when he saw Geto Suguru, his expression relaxed and he immediately stood up.

"Is it done?"

"Ah, we can go now."

"The day after tomorrow, I'll come with you to change the dressing after I get off work."

Xia Yujie shook his head. "No need. I can come directly after get off work. I don't need you to accompany me all the way."

"I'm fine, I..."

"Really, there's no need," Xia Yujie smiled, grabbed Gojo Satoru's sleeve, and urged him, "Let's go, aren't we going to buy food for the whole day tomorrow? If we don't hurry, the supermarket will close."

Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru had a good understanding. On the way to the supermarket, the two of them didn't say anything. They picked and chose and took a lot of things that the other person liked to eat. Gojo Satoru paid first and walked out with the shopping bag, leaving Geto Suguru with his wallet in a mess in the wind.

Gojo Satoru was willing to carry the not-too-heavy shopping bag, and Geto Suguru was too lazy to argue with him, so he just walked beside him empty-handed.

There was still no one on the way back, but they did not use this time to question each other.

The journey was unusually silent and quiet. Even after returning home, neither of them spoke first.

After washing and taking a shower, Gojo Satoru, who had been clamoring to borrow Geto Takeshi's bathtub to take a bath, completely forgot about this matter. He took a quick shower and couldn't wait to go to bed and wait.

When Geto Suguru dried his hair and entered the bedroom, Gojo Satoru was already lying on his side with one hand on his chin, looking like a drunken beauty.

Seeing Geto Suguru standing at the door without moving, Gojo Satoru smiled, patted the empty space next to him generously, and beckoned Geto Suguru to come over.

Xia Yujie grinned, a little disgusted by his familiarity, and warned him, "This is my bedroom and my bed. It's not your turn to be so generous."

As soon as he walked over, Gojo Satoru came over, making Geto Suguru very uncomfortable.

"What are you doing? If you don't behave yourself, I have the right to throw you out."

"Hmph~" Gojo Satoru snorted indifferently. "Go ahead, tell me. I'm giving you a chance to be honest now. Tell me where your injuries came from, what happened to the deleted call logs and messages on my phone, and about that mission."

Gojo Satoru's words were so clear that Geto Suguru had nothing to say.

Gojo Satoru has always been smart. He actually doesn't need to ask Geto Suguru for confirmation of anything. Just relying on these clues, he has pieced together the entire process of the incident with an accuracy rate of nearly 90%.

However, he just wanted to hear it from Geto Suguru himself. He wanted to know what kind of mood Geto Suguru was in when he did this.

However, Geto Suguru remained silent.

Geto Suguru lowered his eyes and said nothing, precisely because he knew that Gojo Satoru knew everything, so he felt that there was no point in saying anything.
