Saan

The dazzling smile of Momiji made Ashura feel very intrusive.

The action of Gu Zuo smiling and stroking Hongye's head made Yaxiu feel even more obtrusive.

- You see, he will gradually alienate you.Because of Hongye, he smiled happily?

Who is speaking in my heart? !Ashura seemed to roar in his heart.

No one responded.

"Ash."

whose voice?Light and faint, as if floating from a far away place, bit by bit penetrated into the bottom of my heart.

"Ash."

When he came back to his senses, it turned out that Gu Zuo was calling him.

"Yes", respectfully received the handbook that Gu Zuo handed over, and Yaxiu once again returned to the status of deacon.

"I seem to be a student." Gu Zuo took out a mobile phone from his backpack again, "I might as well ask this school for a leave of absence, anyway, I'm late now."

To make matters worse, Gu Zuo didn't even know where his teachers, classmates, or home were.

"I'll do it," Yaxiu took the phone from Gu Zuo's hand, walked a few steps away and began to search for the phone book in the phone.

Hongye looked at Gu Zuo, then at Yaxiu, and found that except for Gu Zuo's clothes, which had somehow changed into school uniforms, he and Yaxiu hadn't changed at all, they were still dressed in the previous world.

"A new world...?"

Seeing Hongye lowering her head and talking to herself, Gu Zuo couldn't help but feel guilty, "Hongye..."

"Huh?" Hong Ye raised her head and immediately smiled at Gu Zuo.Although Gu Zuo couldn't be sure if this was Hongye's best smiling face, it could fill the depths of his heart with the warmth of spring and sublimate it into a comfortable mood.

It's incredible... Gu Zuo was relieved to see that Hongye wasn't depressed.

"I've already asked for leave." Yaxiu came over and returned the phone to Gu Zuo, and made a 'please' gesture, "Let's go."

"Walk?"

Hong Ye, who was as puzzled as Gu Zuo, asked, "Hey!! Where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going home." His thin lips instantly showed a mischievous narrow smile, and Gu Zuo and Hongye looked at each other—go home?

Of course, it can't be Gu Zuo's original home, or Hongye's home in the fruit basket.

Yaxiu stopped the taxi and opened the door to let Gu Zuo in.Hongye squeezed beside Gu Zuo, like a clingy child.

Yaxiu frowned, finally sat in the co-pilot's seat, and reported an address that Gu Zuo had never heard of.

Although Gu Zuo saw neatly placed Japanese yen next to the driver's seat, which seemed to be used to give change to customers... but Gu Zuo had no money with him.

As if knowing what Gu Zuo was thinking, Yaxiu stared at him in the rearview mirror, curling the corners of his lips.

For some reason, Gu Zuo gradually felt relieved when he saw Yaxiu's smile, and watched the scenery outside the window fly away with Hongye.

Perfect Deacon is really foolproof.

After the car came to a complete stop, Ash took out Japanese yen from his jacket pocket to pay the rental fee. Gu Zuo and Hongye followed Ash into a low-rise house not far away.

"It should be here," Yaxiu reminded Gu Zuo, "Master, please check your bag for the key."

Hearing what Yaxiu said, Gu Zuo began to search the bag seriously, except for books, pencil cases and the like... Sure enough, there was a key in the interlayer.

After taking the key from Gu Zuo, Yaxiu opened the door smoothly.

"It's amazing!!" Hongye opened her shiny brown eyes and looked at Ashue adoringly, "How did you know that?!"

Of course, I found Gu Zuo's classmate from the phone book, and wanted to return the phone to the original owner in the name of picking up the phone, and then got the home address——Axiu just smiled at Hongye, "It's a secret."

The house is not big, apart from the kitchen, bathroom, and hall, there are only two rooms left.

Probably because all the curtains were drawn, the room looked dark and messy, and there were two black and white photos on the wooden cabinet in the hall, which seemed to be posthumous photos.

Gu Zuo walked over and opened the drawers one by one. On the first floor were things like incense.The second layer is…

Hong Ye came over and together with Gu Zuo opened the passbook found on the second floor.The amount is not large, 15 yen.

At this time, Yaxiu had already skillfully removed the curtains, and found brand new sheets and towels out of nowhere.

Gu Zuo and Hongye rummaged through other drawers, but they were all useless daily necessities. By the time they walked out of the hall, the other rooms had already been completely new.

Ash even wiped the corridor so it was shiny—Hongye couldn't help biting her fingers, "I can't help at all... woohoo."

As the master, Gu Zuo had nothing to do, so he could only pick up the backpack and study the textbooks inside.

"Axiu...really amazing...Are you a magician?" To Hongye, the speed of Axiu can only be described as 'miraculous'.

"...This level is enough." Gu Zuo sighed, "Axiu, don't be too luxurious."

He really didn't want it. After a while, when he came back to his senses, Yaxiu had already replaced all the ordinary wooden furniture.

"Yes!" Yaxiu replied, although he was not very satisfied, but the young master had already opened his mouth, it seemed that the rectification of the room could only be finished.

"Zo..."

Before Hongye could open his mouth, Ash had already grabbed him, "Master, it's time for lunch, please allow me and Kuo Mo-kun to prepare Chinese food for you."

"Huh? Me?" Hongye pointed at herself?cooking... eh?

Hongye, who thought she could be useful, immediately nodded excitedly, "Sure!"

"red…"

Gu Zuo could still say the words to keep Hongye, Hongye had already rolled up her sleeves and followed Yaxiu to the kitchen with great momentum.

"I shouldn't have gone..." Gu Zuo sighed heavily, if he worked with Yaxiu...

Sure enough, after half an hour passed, the frustrated Hongye followed Ashura step by step.

"I, I... I didn't come in handy," Hongye cried out with a wow.

"I understand", Gu Zuo stroked Hongye's soft blond hair, no matter what Yaxiu did, he could make others feel ashamed - this was deeply realized when he was painting with Yaxiu last time.

Although Gu Zuo is not said to be a painting genius, he is also good at painting as a hobby.Yaxiu, who was exposed to a brush for the first time, was able to draw shocking works the moment he picked up the brush. (see episode)

There is probably nothing in this world that Ash can't do, right?Gu Zuo thinks so.

"Master", Yaxiu sat on his knees and filled a bowl of rice for Gu Zuo, and the tableware was already neatly placed in front of Gu Zuo.

"Enjoy, then."

Ash was sitting on the tatami, at the other end of the dining table.In such an atmosphere, Hongye also sat upright and ate with full etiquette.After the meal, Yaxiu went out to do some errands, this time Hongye didn't volunteer to help.Presumably he also realized that he was just a disservice to help.

"Hongye", Gu Zuo spread out all the textbooks in his backpack on the table that had already been tidied up, "Come here and read together."

Gu Zuo didn't want to struggle with Yamato Republic of China's studies alone, especially since he was completely ignorant of Japanese language forms such as rakugo.

"Hey", Hongye smiled and sat down next to Gu Zuo, looking full of energy.

"If...you can never go back to the original Cuomo's house, will Hongye feel lost?" Gu Zuo asked softly, "I have cleared away the curse."

The family members who could already hug were lost again.

Gu Zuo has always cared about Hongye's mood, but he couldn't bring it up because of Yaxiu's presence.Ash, probably doesn't have that kind of emotion.

"Zuo Zuo, are you very concerned about this matter?"

"Of course!" Gu Zuo quickly answered, caring very much! !

Hongye has no way to see his family anymore, even if his curse is lifted, he will no longer be able to touch the embrace of his mother who has longed for more than ten years, let alone live the life of ordinary people he imagined.

It is possible for Hongye to be with Gu Zuo all her life, wandering in different worlds, and may have many friends, but it is also destined to be separated.In this life, he will never be able to see those brothers who shared the same curse with him again. Perhaps in the long life, the old people will fade with time, even if he remembers the cherished time when he was sick and sympathetic, the faces of the old people will gradually dilute.

All that remains are empty memories.

And for the members of the Kusama family, the disappearing red leaves will also become memories, and maybe one day they will disappear in pursuit, and it is even difficult to remember, and there is no trace of existence anymore.

"So what about Zuo Zuo, is it like this every time? Every time I meet a different partner, and then leave amid doubts, without even a chance to explain, does Zuo Zuo feel lost?"

Facing Hongye's rhetorical question, Gu Zuo also fell into serious thinking.

"If you don't feel it, it's impossible, so you avoided getting involved with everyone from the beginning." The memory of being abandoned in the early years made Gu Zuo very indifferent to everything. It is the inseparable warmth of true possession.This is Gu Zuo's fatal injury, he understands it very well.

So when Yaxiu became the deacon, Gu Zuo always kept a distance from him.It will neither make Ashura feel that he is alienating him, nor make him feel that he is too dependent on him.

"But I...have personally experienced leaving the world I am familiar with, and I feel that Zuo Zuo is so pitiful." Hong Ye started to cry, obviously talking about Gu Zuo.

Tears dripped on the back of Gu Zuo's hand, which surprised him, "Me? Poor?"

Could it be that what was wrong with Hongye before was not because of herself, but because of - Gu Zuo?

"Keep a distance from everyone like this, one world and one world... Except for Ash, no one can stay by Zuo Zuo's side, no one can talk to him... Can't hug... Zo Zuo like this...", Hong Ye covered her face, but You could tell by the shrugging of his shoulders that he was crying even harder.

"I'm sorry...it's so embarrassing to let you see me crying", Hongye's big tears couldn't be stopped no matter how much she wiped.

"It's okay." Gu Zuo took out his handkerchief, he still wanted to hear Hongye continue talking.

"I, I feel so sad when I think of Zuo Zuo's words, so...so." Tears blurred his vision, Hongye approached Gu Zuo, and said softly at a very close place, "I decided to stay with you By your side, forever!"

The red leaves are attached to the ear, as if telling a secret.Gu Zuo felt in a daze that the voice that blew past his ears was simply the most beautiful voice in the world.

Gu Zuo's eyes were filled with dazzling gold...it was the hair of Hongye, the wind that passed through the window with a squeak blew away the scattered bangs of Hongye, revealing his porcelain-like skin.

A pair of brown eyes filled with tears were shining, and the reddish tip of his nose twitched.

Gu Zuo stroked the red leaves again and again with his slender fingers, a certain part of his heart was very warm... as if surrounded by soft clouds.

'Thank you...Momiji. '
