Chapter 11

The days passed quickly, and not long after the flower garden was full of blue hydrangeas, Akashi was called by his parents.

His parents arranged for him to go to a school in Tokyo, and Akashi was calm as usual, not at all like a child who was away from home for the first time.

"When to set off?"

"After a week, I hope you can get used to the environment a month in advance."

a week?Akashi looked at his reflection on the water surface of the teacup, and thoughtfully tapped the wall of the cup.

To be honest, he didn't feel much about leaving home. His parents would definitely prepare a residence near the school, and the servants who served him would do their best so that he would definitely not cause any inconvenience in his life.As for the person with the title of "parent" in front of him, Akashi smiled faintly. Apart from being the one who gave birth to him, this pair of men and women seemed to have no other special meaning.

The only thing he cares about is that person.

If Heizi could accompany him, let alone Tokyo, even other planets would be fine.

"I understand, father, mother." Akashi sat upright on his knees and bowed to the men and women in the upper ranks. His elegant posture made it hard to believe that this was a five-year-old child.

Back in the room, Heizi was lying on the window sill reading a book, his side face was against the light and he couldn't see clearly, but he had a sense of elegance and tranquility.What he was reading was an ancient language document, and because it was an annotated version, Akashi could barely understand it.

"People are like a lonely boat leaving Pu'an, gradually drifting away and becoming unfamiliar."

Akashi read it softly, Kuroko was immersed in his thoughts, and didn't pay attention to the people around him. Akashi's voice suddenly sounded beside him, startling him, "So it's Masamune...has he come back?" It was very low, and no one noticed him behind him, and almost forgot the feeling of being called out suddenly.

Akashi knelt beside Heizi, skillfully resting his pillow on the back of his figurative hand, "Tetsuya's expression was very serious just now, what were you thinking?"

"It's nothing, it's just a normal daze." Kuroko closed the book, blocking Akashi's sight. "The Tale of Genji" is considered a masterpiece, but there are too many unhealthy adult descriptions in it, and he doesn't want this child to see it.

Heizi put "The Tale of Genji" on the top shelf of the bookcase.For him, that height was just within reach, but for the five-year-old Akashi, it was insanely high, and there was no other way but to use a ladder.

The height problem is Akashi's sore spot. He once went to kindergarten for two days under the arrangement of his parents. As a result, no matter male or female, there were almost no children shorter than him in the class. negative value.Since then, he has never wanted to go to kindergarten again.

Now, Heizi's actions hit someone's sore spot, "Zheye! Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't put the book on such a high place?"

"When Zhengjun grows taller than me, you can read that book."

"Why? I'm already five years old!" Akashi was unhappy. He thought he had always been strict with himself, and he didn't let go of his metabolism. Although he was only five years old, he possessed much more knowledge than many 15-year-olds. .Heizi laughed dryly, of course he understood the meaning of Akashi's words, and he didn't want him to read "Genji", not because of the difficult poems, songs, history and humanities, but because of the naked eighteen prohibitions in it!

Heizi is a serious kindergarten teacher. Although many children nowadays are too precocious to look at directly, it is good to save a flower of the motherland.If possible, he hopes that Akaji will come and see.

In any case, it is too early to read the eighteen bans at the age of five...

"There are some not-so-good contents in that novel, and it's too early for Zhengjun to know."

"For example?" Akashi raised his eyebrows, with the air of "tell me clearly".

"Well, for example, there are some... pictures of men and women loving each other... Zhengjun has grown up and has someone he likes, so it's not too late to watch..."

"Now I have someone I like."

Now, I, have, like, of, people.

The news was so explosive that Heizi was stunned for a while before he could react.Akashi propped his chin, looked at him with a smile, his red eyes were bright and dazzling.

Is it just a kid’s joke, or is it an illusion, or is it really a puppy love? Now there is still a question of who is the object of the puppy love? Who killed a thousand knives and abducted Zhengtai? It is a disaster on earth. He must destroy him on behalf of the Juvenile Protection Law!

In an instant, tens of thousands of mud horses roared past Mr. Heizi's heart.

"Zhengjun, you still don't know what true liking is, and puppy love..." is wrong.Just as Kuroko was about to say this, Akashi found out a children's picture book and asked Kuroko to read a story to him. The appearance of a good baby makes people can't bear to reprimand him.

At night, the two of them embraced each other to sleep, Akashi lay beside Heizi's ear, staring at this untouchable person.

"Do you really like it, I will prove it to you."



When he was in the third grade of elementary school, driven by curiosity, Akashi found the "The Tale of Genji" and read it while Kuroko was not in the room.He has an excellent memory, and he didn't miss any of the eighteen forbidden scenes that should be paid attention to.

From a certain point of view, Akashi's knowledge enlightenment in this area also benefited from Kuroko, but the latter didn't know it at all.

This is all for later.



As the day to go to Tokyo approached, Akashi became more and more anxious.He asked Heizi similar questions several times, "Has Zhe thought about leaving this city?" "How would Zhe feel if he stayed away from here?" They will all show a nostalgic expression, disapproving or disapproving.

"I do not know."

He always answered like this, with a very soft voice, as if talking to himself, and as if sighing slightly.

In fact, Tetsuya is still nostalgic for everything before his death, right?Parents, relatives and friends, colleagues, and... lovers.

Even though he didn't say anything, Akashi was clear.

More than once, I saw Heizi staring at the hydrangeas in a trance. Before reading a book, the sentence "A person is like a lonely boat leaving the shore, gradually drifting away and becoming unfamiliar", isn't it a reflection of his heart?Death separated him from everything in the past, and he could only see everything he loved in the past drifting away.

Akashi knew he couldn't be in a hurry, Tetsuya was inextricably linked with everything in his life, and forcing him to cut it off rashly would only cause him pain.But as the day approached, he couldn't restrain his anxiety.

Kuroko is very sensitive, and within a few days he noticed something strange about Akashi.On a windy afternoon, Kuroko read picture books to Akashi as usual, and at the end, he asked the doubts in his heart, "Zheng-kun, is there anything you want to tell me?" Kuroko's eyes were still beautiful sapphire blue, crystal clear clear.

Akashi lowered his eyes, not knowing how to answer.

Tetsuya, your "past" is over, and your "now" is only me.

But if you really say that, it would be too selfish and cruel.His Tetsuya did not take the initiative to let go of the past, but was helpless under the pressure of death.

"Tetsuya, can I go and see? The place where you are buried."

Heizi was a little surprised, he had watched the child grow up, and this was the first time he had brought up this idea.

His tombstone is easy to find. Enter from the main entrance of the largest cemetery in the city, go right all the way to the top, and you can see a big cherry tree.The tombstone closest to the cherry tree is engraved with "Kuroko Tetsuya".

After getting out of the car, Akashi walked in front, and Kuroko floated beside him, reminding the red-haired child to watch his feet and not fall down from time to time.The new nanny followed obediently, helping the young master with things.Today was her first day on the job. She thought that the young master would definitely go to the zoo or playground when he went out. When she heard that he was going to the cemetery, she was really shocked.This five-year-old young master is really different!

Kuroko directed Akashi to go to the destination, and when he was approaching, Akashi kept an eye out and told the nanny to wait where he was and not to approach.He pretended to wander aimlessly, first wandered around the big stone monuments of "Monument to Great Man" and "Monument to Public Servant of the People", and then walked towards Heizi's tombstone.

Unexpectedly, there were already people there.

The dark-skinned man was wearing a police uniform, and he didn't know what was wrapped in a rough cloth in his arms.He squatted beside the cherry tree digging the soil, and Akashi watched from a distance, feeling that the man seemed to want to bury something.

"Want to help?" Akashi asked, and the police department opposite did not raise his head, "No need." His tone and voice were stiff.Akashi just asked casually and didn't insist.He walked to Heizi's tombstone, staring at the photo on it.After the man dug the hole, he carefully put the cloth bag in his arms into it, filled it with soil, and made a simple tomb.

After finishing all this, the man took out a copper bell from his pocket and placed it in front of Heizi's tombstone.

"Azhe, I got dog plague a few days ago on the 2nd, so... I'll bury it next to you to accompany you."

The man's cell phone rang, and he was inexplicably impatient, so he took it out and pressed it.I wanted to press to hang up, but accidentally pressed it to speakerphone by mistake. The woman's coquettish voice broke the tranquility of the cemetery.

"Dahui-kun~where are you?~" Before she could say the second sentence, the tall man canceled the speakerphone and switched to a normal call.The man uttered a few syllables of "ah", "ha", and "oh", as if he was a little impatient with the person on the other end of the phone. He left after not staying for a long time, and his tall and straight figure disappeared at the end of the stone road.

"Tetsuya, do you know anyone?" He would come to visit the grave, so he must not be a stranger.

Picking up the old bell in front of the tombstone, Heizi replied softly, "A friend."

This is the bell he bought for No. 2. At that time, No. 2 was a puppy. He remembered that No. 2 liked this bell very much, jumping around the room, and the sound of jingling was light and pleasant.

People are like a lonely boat away from the shore, drifting away and becoming unfamiliar, Heizi recited this sentence silently, just now he looked at Qingfeng's back, and felt that it was terribly strange.Parents, friends, pet dog, everything is changing, only he remains in place, guarding the memory of the past.

He's really, really long gone.

Long enough that no one, not even a dog, needed him anymore.

"Tetsuya, come with me and get out of here, okay?"

"……it is good."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Akashi's eyes lit up.Holding Heizi's hand, for fear that he would regret it, "I'm going to Tokyo to go to school soon, Tetsuya will come with me. If you don't go, I won't either!" Looking at the expectant little face, the dog The grief of passing away has also been resolved a lot.Kuroko patted Akashi on the shoulder, "I will be by your side."

On the way home, Akashi walked ahead in a good mood - he could elope with Tetsuya!

Heizi followed him, step by step—it was the first time for a child to leave home to go to school, and he had to be accompanied by his parents no matter what, so it was probably like this?
