In this life, we will meet again

Chapter 81 80. The end of the world (nearly 8000 chapters)

Dragging heavy steps, he turned the doorknob of the entrance hall.

Feeling exhausted, Kurosawa took off the stockings from her legs at the entrance and threw them away, then placed the ingredients she just bought on the table.

The empty jars on the dining table were not cleaned, the egg rolls cooked in the morning were ugly and unpalatable, and the potted plants in the courtyard seemed to be dying because she watered them too much.

She didn't listen to a word of what grandpa said about not watering potted plants too much, but now the lesson has come true.

However, even if I hate my own stupidity in my heart, many things still have to be done.

——"If it rains tomorrow, the plants in the pots will die faster."

she thinks.

The vast and clear purple dusk was dimly shimmering, and in the distance there was a child crying in the field, crying very loudly, and it seemed that he had fallen hard.

The chaotic Odawara was mixed with crows chirping in the distance, and today, she heard the slight breathing again.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree was sleeping on the sofa, and his thin chest, which only a young man had, rose and fell with his breathing.

Kurosawa Yaai knelt down beside him and stared at him. His skin seemed to be even more lustrous than that of a girl, and his unguarded face was like freshly baked dough, making people want to reach out and knead it.

There were only the two of them in this small house, and Kurosawa Ai felt inexplicably happy because he could enjoy the Baiyuan Fairy Tree to his heart's content.

From the moment you choose to chase without hesitation, your determination is like falling snowflakes, destined to be irreversible.

——So that you can always look at me.

——To keep it in my heart.

——It is best to hug each other tenderly in the middle of the night when the moon cannot be seen.

Next, just stay with him and completely fill in the blank space that happened during this period.

Find a good place to play, go abroad, whatever.

Branches on the roadside are fine, beautiful small stones are fine, and even dirt everywhere is fine, as long as they can fill the void that is the source of pain.
Anything goes.

At this time, Kurosawa Yaoai saw the phone hanging on the wall out of the corner of his eye. The indicator light there was flashing red, indicating that there was a voice message.

She frowned slightly, stood up, walked to the phone, and pressed the flashing red button——

"You have a new message"

The time of the message came when Kurosawa Yaoai was out shopping. Baiyuan Xianshu was probably still sleeping at that time.

She pressed the play button, and what came from inside was an extremely bitter middle-aged male voice.

"Mr. Baiyuan, I'm Ping Zhuo. I called from the spare number you filled in. I called you but you didn't answer. Did you drop your phone? Have you returned to Odawara? If you hear me , please contact me, Miss Mai has something to leave for you."

After the message was played, the living room returned to silence.

Kurosawa stood in front of the phone for a long time. She looked back at the Baiyuan Fairy Tree, as if she were putting something picked up from the darkness into her hand.

She pressed her finger on the "delete" button of the message.

It was clear that Qingqiu Mai, a living person, had disappeared from life, but she only had some painless feelings.

Maybe that woman was not important in his heart from the beginning.

Only the Baiyuan Fairy Tree sleeping soundly on the sofa was real to her.

Dusk dyed the interior walls orange, and the light beams were cut into pieces by curtains and other coverings, and fell on the floor in different shapes.

"Sorry, I slept for another day."

Suddenly, the voice of Baiyuan Fairy Tree pulled her out of her thoughts.

Baiyuan Xianshu leaned up from the sofa and rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers.

Mai Kiyoaki's existence is like an hourglass, falling with the passage of time, and news reports gradually return to the normal track of society.

Since Baiyuan Xianshu returned to Odawara, most of them have been sleeping.

Every day he looked forward to the night, and every time he looked forward to the dream.

Until now, I want to fall into a deep sleep during the day, and only dreams can make up for the unfinished things.

Baiyuan Xianshu looked at Kurosawa Yaoai. She was standing in front of the phone with a tangled expression on her face.

"what happened?"

"..." Kurosawa Yaoai was silent for a while, then said with a faint smile, "I watered the potted plants in the courtyard too much, and they might die."

"It's okay. The one in the courtyard is the copper money grass. It can absorb more water than you think, and it is also much stronger than you think." Baiyuan Fairy Tree got up from the sofa, walked to her side and said with a smile, "It seems Copper Money Grass is stronger than me."

Kurosawa stretched out her white fingers to touch his sleep-red face and asked, "Then how much more can you suck?"

Baiyuan Immortal Tree took a breath, even though nearly a week had passed, his mood still could not calm down.

Those who cannot be filled by the river of time are because there is a hole in the bucket in their hearts, and no matter what is added, it cannot be filled.

Seeing that he suddenly fell silent, Kurosawa's lips revealed a slight smile, but his slightly opened eyes were filled with confusion.

Her expression was extremely lonely, like a girl who knew she couldn't be the ultimate comfort.

"Pingzhuo sent a message." Kurosawa said.

"Principal Pingzhuo? How did he know this place?"

"He said he found it from the alternate address and contact information you left."

Kurosawa reminded herself to keep a normal mind, but she couldn't help but speed up her speech and tuck her long hair behind her ears.

"It's not that I wanted to eavesdrop. I thought it was some advertisement, so I wanted to delete it."

"It's okay if you shake your love."

Baiyuan Immortal Tree touched her head, his eyes passed over the girl's lightly blushing cheeks, and he pressed a message with his fingers.

He was stunned when he heard Dean Pingzhuo say that Mai Qingqiu had left something for herself.

Then I thought of Kurosawa's hesitant action while standing in front of the phone.

Did she delete this message?

"Shake love, thank you for your hard work." Baiyuan Fairy Tree said.

He had an unprecedented deep love for Kurosawa Ai in his heart, and an admiration he had never had before.

Maybe he should stop passing on his negative emotions to her.

Kurosawa Yaai lightly bit her lip and whispered, "Hey, it's good that you know."

Baiyuan Fairy Tree held her neatly manicured nails with pink luster, stared at her cheek affectionately and said, "Shake love, I like you."

Kurosawa's eyes widened, and in order to cover up his burning cheeks, he lowered his face slightly, leaving half of his cheeks flushed.

"I know this, so why are you saying such disgusting things now?"

"Shao Ai, aren't you shy?" Baiyuan Xianshu said with a cheerful laugh that he hadn't seen in a long time.

"No, how is it possible."

"Is that so? Your face is so red, and your ears are too. It seems like you can bleed with just one bite."

Kurosawa's face turned red and he glared at her: "Don't laugh so disgustingly!"

Even so, Baiyuan Immortal Tree still hugged her slender waist and kissed her on the forehead.

There was a soft feeling on his forehead, Kurosawa's delicate body trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with dazzling light.

"I want a kiss," she murmured, her lungs exhaling hot moisture.

"kiss?"

Kurosawa raised his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "My lady cooks for you and waters the potted plants. I even have to go out to buy the ingredients. Those old men and women are very annoying. Can't I kiss you when I do these things?"

Her expressions are extremely rich, and she must be the only one who can see Kurosawa's rich expressions.

"Then do you want to stretch?"

".up to you."

"If you like it, I'll stretch it out."

"Then, then I want it"

Kurosawa's honest confession made both of them blush.

Her big eyes kept blinking, as if a beautiful butterfly had fallen on her long eyelashes, and her breathing was trembling slightly.

The playful game between the eagle and the chicken is like being cast by a witch in a fairy tale book, everything is so natural.

◇

In the mild spring heat, Somo Bay shines softly, and the sea surface sparkles like a gem.

Baiyuan Senshu and Kurosawa Ai returned to Fujisawa Station the next day, and he contacted Dean Pingzhuo on the day he left the message.

Pingzhuo first comforted him for a long time, and finally asked him to contact Qingqiu Mai's parents and tell them that the things were there.

After calling the phone number, it turned out that Qingqiu Mai's parents didn't have a good tone towards him, and they just said hastily that the things should be left in Qingqiu Mai's apartment.

It was the apartment that Kiyoaki Mai had given him to live in.

When they talked about whether they had a key, when they heard Baiyuan Immortal Tree say yes, they were silent for a while, and finally didn't say much.

Back in Fujisawa City, Bai Yuan Senshu first came to his apartment and cooked a meal for Kurosawa Ai.

Sliced ​​tuna tossed in olive oil, braised radish with meat, tofu hamburger steak, and ramen with vegetable tofu egg roll.

I was busy making various dishes, and when I came back to my senses, there were already seven or eight dishes on the table.

"What do you think of a boy who is obsessed with cooking and is so beautiful?" Baiyuan Xianshu asked.

Kurosawa sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV, as if to make up for the energy lost in Odawara, without even speaking.

"It's better than girls who can't do it." He continued to ask.

"What do you mean?" Kurosawa Yaoai suddenly turned his head and glared at him.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree was not afraid at all now. He looked at her with a smile and said, "Do you want to kiss her?"

".nerve!"

Now whenever he says "kiss", Kurosawa Ai will turn red and ignore him. The more he talks, the more she will get angry.

It’s my safe word.

"Okay, come and eat." Baiyuan Immortal Tree said while sitting on the chair.

Kurosawa Yaoai then pouted silently, blushing and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to kiss?"

"You have to come over before I can kiss you."

"." Kurosawa stood up and came closer, sat next to him and spread his hands, saying, "Okay, okay."

"Eat first." Baiyuan Xianshu handed her the chopsticks.

Kurosawa raised her hand and hammered his shoulder unhappily and said, "I'm in place! Hurry up!"

".How willful."

Baiyuan Xianshu never thought that she would like kissing so much.

Although in Odawara, he often used the excuse of "come over for a kiss" to lure Kurosawa over to her, but in the end she would get angry if he didn't kiss her, and she still had to take action.

If it were a few years ago, he would never have imagined that Kurosawa Ai would look like this in front of her boyfriend.

He even regarded kissing as a daily task. Baiyuan Xianshu and her lips were close to each other for a few seconds and then separated.

"Have a meal."

"Ah."

"Are you going back to Tokyo?"

"What about you?"

"Am I already in Fujisawa?"

"never mind?"

Kurosawa Ai ate the vegetable tofu egg roll without any complaints.

"It's impossible to say it's okay, but I try to let it go as much as possible."

He was grateful to Kurosawa for his love from the bottom of his heart. He considered himself not a strong person. Without her by his side, he might have become like before and lived a confused life.

Kurosawa put a piece of stew into his mouth and chewed: "As you said, I will go back today, and they are urging me."

"it is good."

The food cooked today was very good. Baiyuan Xianshu quickly put away the empty plates and washed the tableware.

After the completion, the two sat together, and the sofa sank toward the center due to their weight.

On Kurosawa Ai's legs were the complete collection of videos he had brought before.
"Watch one more movie, and then I'll go back." She said softly, and the sunlight streaming in followed her long legs and outlined delicate lines.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree looked at the space between her two white thighs in ecstasy, and said absently:

"Then what do you want to see?"

Kurosawa Yaai couldn't control the raised corners of his mouth and said in a teasing tone: "H movie?"

Baiyuan Immortal Tree couldn't help but chuckle: "What, the two of us can perform that kind of thing."

The result was an elbow strike from Kurosawa.

"Don't laugh so disgustingly!"

"I didn't."

In the end, the two watched the classic love movie "Titanic" until the light outside became extremely gentle.

Kurosawa put on his coat and his snow-white arms poked out from the cuffs.

"I'm going back." She walked to the entrance and put on her shoes.

"Be careful on the road." "Fairy tree."

"what happened?"

"My mother asked me where I was these days, and I said I was with my boyfriend." Kurosawa Yoai forced himself to be calm, pretending not to notice the heat gradually gathering from his cheeks.

Baiyuan Xianshu was stunned for a while and found that she was peeping at his expression.

"Well, say hello to Auntie for me."

"She asked me to take you back to Tokyo for fun, so if you are free someday, please let me know as soon as possible."

".Row."

"But you don't have to worry, it's enough as long as I'm here, no one dares to speak against you." Kurosawa told him in a proud tone.

"You look like you are destined to win." Baiyuan Immortal Tree looked at her energetic profile and said with a smile.

Kurosawa Yaai cast her eyes on him with a nonchalant expression, threw her bag on the floor, stepped forward and said:

"One more kiss before you leave."

"Just one bite?"

"Those two."

"I'll give you another bite, three bites?"

"It sounds disgusting."

".It's so hard to deal with."

Baiyuan Immortal Tree bowed his head politely, stared at her cherry-colored lips and kissed her.

This time the kiss was deeper and longer, until the breathing in the real sense could not be maintained, and the two separated.

◇

Baiyuan Fairy Tree took a bath and went out before the sunset.

Qingqiu's parents said that the things she left behind were hidden in the door of the dressing room.

The temperature in Fujisawa at this time is around 25 degrees, which is quite pleasant, and the streets look like cats taking a sweet nap.

After walking across the Sakai River Bridge, the cherry blossoms have drifted away with the river, leaving only the fresh green on the branches.

The river under the bridge sparkles unparalleledly in the setting sun.

Baiyuan Xianshu's heart palpitated, and he didn't even dare to stay on the bridge longer to avoid arousing more memories, and immediately rushed to the downstairs of Mai Qingqiu's apartment.

To be precise, it was downstairs from the apartment she had previously lived in.

Going up the elevator, you can feel the cold air as soon as you reach the corridor. The moment the door lock opens, it seems that the temperature has dropped a few points.

Baiyuan Xianshu stood holding the handle of the security door for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to push the door open and enter.

There weren't many changes in the room, it was exactly the same as when he left.

I didn't dare to stay here too long, and I didn't even want to close the anti-theft door.

Immortal Baiyuan came to the locker room, he had never entered the locker room when he lived here.

After all, for someone like him who is not very particular about clothes, there is no need for a changing room.

When we came to the changing room, we saw a tatami floor and a refreshing fragrance. In the empty changing room, there were three books and three doors wide.

Baiyuan Xianshu opened the sliding door in the middle.

What came into view were several cardboard boxes.

On one of the cardboard boxes, there was a small black object.

Baiyuan Xianshu curiously picked up the small object and found it was a recording pen.

He opened in confusion.

"Ah, I didn't expect you to use the dressing room, Xianshu. It's really surprising. I thought you wouldn't come here at all."

——? !

Qingqiu Mai's gentle and slightly naughty voice fell into her ears, as if she was casting her sights on the Baiyuan Fairy Tree that was opening the door at this moment.

"Congratulations on discovering the gift I gave you. Do you still remember when I said that I would give you a gift when you were admitted to Fujisawa? I wanted to give it to you in person, but suddenly I wanted to tease you to see if I would be found so close to you." , it seems that you are not as stupid as I thought."

The scene in her mind was switched again, to Mai Kiyoaki sitting here with a voice recorder, looking at several cardboard boxes and smiling briskly.

She always maintained a gentle and pleasant smile, and her long black hair and cherry-colored face seemed to appear in front of her eyes, soft and beautiful under the touch of light.

"Don't be too impatient to open the cardboard box. Now you have to listen to me and take your time step by step, otherwise I will be angry when I come over and find that it has been opened."

Qingqiu Mai's words sounded like a warning, but there must be a gentle smile on her lips, because even if the sun and the moon flew by, her bright smile would never disappear.

Baiyuan Immortal Shu blinked his eyes, and when the hot liquid slid down his cheeks, he realized that he had already burst into tears.

"Do you see the small box on the far left now? Open it. Please pause after saying this, because your movements can't keep up with my words."

Baiyuan Xianshu paused the recording as she said, and also discovered a small box on the far left.

He stared blankly at the cardboard box without blinking.

After taking it apart, I found that there were a bunch of wards, and there were no duplicates. They were not praying at the same shrine.

Kyoto Ninwaji Temple, Kyoto Oha Shrine, Seimei Shrine, Tensui Shrine, Tenmangu Shrine, 33 Gendo Temple
Bow and arrow protection, birthday flower protection, appearance protection, academic protection, health protection, business protection, good luck.
But something seems to be missing.
He subconsciously continued playing.

"If you find that there is no love guardian, it's because the Suzuran guardian of the Tokyo Grand Shrine is placed with me. You won't mind, right?"

As if to answer the confusion in Baiyuan Xianshu's mind, the voice of Mai Qingqiu came from the recording pen again.

This immediate reply made Baiyuan Xianshu think that Qingqiu Mai was staying beside him, looking at the guardian in the box together.

——Why would I mind?
"Put it back when you've seen enough. You can take it away when I'm here. You can open the box below."

The recording pen was placed on a cardboard box in front of Baiyuan Fairy Tree, as if Qingqiu Mai was still sitting beautifully on it, motionless.

According to the instructions of the recording pen, Baiyuan Xianshu opened the cardboard boxes behind one by one.

"When you were in high school, you often said that your mother didn't buy you a game console, and you often went to your friends' houses to play. I don't understand what boys like to play, but these game consoles and discs should be enough for you."

"Don't complain that these are homework books, but they are also good topics that I have been looking for for a long time. You don't want us to not be admitted to the same university because of an accident, right? But don't worry, I will finish it with you."

"Wear these clothes well, don't always say "I don't pay attention to clothes", just take it as I see that you will feel better when you wear new clothes, and you don't want me to be in a bad mood, right? "

"Of, of course, if you want me to wear some other clothes, I can show you them too, don't get carried away and laugh."

Baiyuan Immortal Tree raised his arm to wipe the tears from his face and cried: "I'm not laughing, don't take it so seriously, you"

The cardboard boxes were opened one by one according to her instructions. There were no particularly valuable gifts in terms of money, or even ordinary ones.

"Well, now open the last carton."

Baiyuan Immortal Tree followed the instructions and looked at the last cardboard box.

The cardboard box was very small, almost the size of the palm of a hand, but even so, it was a rare thing for the Baiyuan Immortal Tree.

When I opened it, I found that it was just a folded piece of paper.

He unfolded the paper and found that it was a table with basic business information such as name, place of origin, and address.

The pictures on the paper are the familiar sky and sea, Enoshima and Sagamo Bay.

Baiyuan Xianshu's breathing slowed down for a moment. He looked carefully and found that it said "Marriage Application" written on it.

It was a marriage application form from Fujisawa City, and in the column of "the person to be the wife", there was the name of "Mai Kiyoaki" written in a ballpoint pen.

"Xian Shu, there are some things I'm embarrassed to say in person, but..."

Even though Qingqiu Mai was hiding in the recording pen, she still couldn't hide her shyness.

"I love you and want to marry you in the future, right here in Fujisawa, right in Enoshima."

After the words fell, no matter how much time passed, there was still no sound from the recorder.

Baiyuan Xianshu held his breath, as if a figure of Qingqiu Maifa appeared in front of him, illuminated by the dim light in the dressing room, with a gentle smile still on his face.

At this moment, Baiyuan Immortal Tree could not feel happiness at all, and even forgot what happiness was.

◇

long night.

In the room where the lights were turned off, the moonlight fell into the window without the curtains, forming a long shadow.

The shadow of the foot of the bed, the shadow of the cabinet, the shadow of the empty vase, the figure sitting on the floor with bowed head.

Baiyuan Xianshu held the "marriage application" with dull eyes, his heart could not calm down, and his pure mood could not be calmed down at all.

——It would be better if I died.

Baiyuan Xianshu looked out the window, Qingqiu Mai must be waiting for his response, she was looking forward to it
"."

The big hole in his chest continued to expand, and countless emotional debris was eroded by the hole.

"How is this."

Baiyuan Xianshu felt like his throat was being strangled and he couldn't breathe, and he once again suffered from the departure of Qingqiu Mai.

When he held his chest, the "Application" squeezed in the middle screamed as it was being squeezed.

He suddenly felt disgusted with the blood and consciousness existing in his body. Rather than feeling pain for existence, he felt sad for his own existence.

The Baiyuan fairy tree stood up staggeringly, and the blue sky outside the window was dotted with countless small stars, like an invitation to play sent by the starry sky.

The impetuous mood gradually settled in the soft moonlight, and when he regained consciousness, Baiyuan Xianshu found himself on the balcony again.

Only then did he realize that Fujisawa City was also surprisingly quiet. He could not hear the roar of car engines or the impact of steel objects.

In the realm of complete tranquility, Baiyuan Immortal Tree's brain was groggy, and the sound of the wind blowing through his ears was like a drummer beating a big drum hard.

Baiyuan Xianshu put the "Application Form" into his coat pocket, stepped on the potted plant in the corner of the balcony, and stepped on the slender railing.

He chose the easiest way to end it.

He still couldn't accept the world without Kiyoaki Mai.

"But. I love her."

The barely remaining consciousness in his mind made Baiyuan Xianshu utter these words.

Baiyuan Xianshu will remember Kurosawa's tenderness and character that is only open to him for the rest of his life.

However, the tenderness she brought was also taken away by the night wind.

Baiyuan Senshu took a shallow breath. He thought that his longing for Qingqiu Mai had been diluted a lot in the company of Kurosawa Ai, but it turned out that was not the case.

——I’m still afraid of the future without Kiyoaki Mai.

As if hearing the approaching footsteps of death, Baiyuan Immortal Tree slowly closed his eyes. He hoped that he could pass out when he fell, so that it would not be painful.

"Fairy tree—!"

At this time, a rough wind blew by, bringing a panicked sound.

Baiyuan Immortal Shu's brain suddenly came back to his senses, but as a result, his focus had already been handed over.

"Uh--!"

He subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab back, but in the end he only grabbed the railing, and his whole body hung outside the balcony.

"Fairy tree! Fairy tree!"

What fell into her ears along with the wind was Kurosawa's voice. She fell down at the entrance and rolled to the balcony with a look of horror on her face.

Kurosawa stretched out her hands to hold Baiyuan Immortal Tree's arm tightly. Her hands were as cold as snow.

Her sudden appearance made Baiyuan Xianshu's brain instantly empty. Why is Kurosawa Ai here?
The same question as at Dongxue Station that day emerged in his mind.

——Why does Kurosawa's love always appear when he never expects it?
"Why do you have to do this! You clearly said it was okay before you left!"

"Do I have to sacrifice my most important thing to protect other precious things! Can't I!"

Kurosawa Yaai used all his strength, almost half of his body was hanging outside the railing, shouting and crying bitterly,
"Baiyuan Immortal Tree! What do you want me to do -!"

The cold air stung her nose and her lungs hurt, and tears dripped down the tip of her nose.

At that moment, Baiyuan Xianshu showed a resigned expression on his face.

"Shake love, let it go. I'm sorry. I'm not qualified to let you do this."

Kurosawa Yaoai's little face was flushed with force, the corners of her mouth were bitten and bleeding, and her slender arms seemed to be torn off at any time.

"I'm sorry, grandpa! I will exercise hard! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I will really exercise hard! I'm sorry! I'm too weak, sorry!"

"Anyone can do it! Please! Come and help me! Anyone can do it! I beg you! Please! Please—!"

"Come and help me! Come and help me pull it up! Please! God can do it too! Please!"

Kurosawa Ai's heart-rending cry could not reach anyone. It was like the sound of an old whistle, carried by the wind to an unknown corner.

"Shao Ai, I'm sorry for saying that you are selfish and willful. In fact, I will always be more selfish and willful than you."

Baiyuan Immortal Tree did not dare to use force. He was afraid that with just a slight exertion, Kurosawa Yaoai would be taken down by him under the reaction force.

"Shut up, shut up! Shut up! I beg you! I really beg you! Come back! Come back!"

Kurosawa Yaoai had already cried to the point of tears, but she gradually lost her strength, her body was constantly being taken out, and the overloaded grasping made her body tremble violently.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree's heart throbbed, and the trembling was also transmitted to him.

In an instant, Kurosawa shook Ai's body and finally brought it out.

Like a bluebird with broken wings, it folded its wings and fell in the blue sky, silently setting off waves of fluff in the white dandelion field.

——Even if Mount Fuji erupts, as long as I am with you, I will laugh until the last moment.

The night is like a velvet curtain in a theater, slowly falling.

The calm and peaceful night sky was completely destroyed at this moment.
