Lark's

wall, and quietly left.Maybe I knew then that I wouldn't go back there.Instead of saying goodbye to them soberly, it is better to say "goodbye" miserly.

"Mr. Arnold is like God to me. He taught me how to survive."

It is also because of this that when Mr. Arnold leaves, I feel at a loss.

But after all, it passed.Just like the departure of anyone in the past, even Mr. Arnold has become a thing of the past.

I turned around and looked at Hibari Kyouya again.He didn't know when it started, and he looked at the book with his eyes half down.He rested his chin in one hand, as if he wasn't listening to me.Only Yundou nestled on top of his head, blinking at me.

His temper never changed.I sighed softly, "But you are different from Mr. Arnold."

No one's back will make me think that I should move forward instead of staying where I am.

except you.

I stared at his unchanging side face, thinking of the New Year that year, I can still see him standing across the road looking at me expressionlessly.

What was I thinking at that time?

I couldn't help smiling: "You gave me a new life."

Hibari Kyouya paused when he flipped through the book, his gaze still stayed on the page, still refusing to look at me.

He just spoke with a sleepy nasal voice, and his tone was as flat as ever:

"It's noisy."

I smiled and, like before, stopped talking.

21. One...

After Hibari Kyoya was discharged from the hospital, her life returned to normal.

I thought Yundou needed to be kept like an ordinary pet, but I didn't expect that the little guy prefers to forage by himself.It is usually the first to wake up, flapping its wings and flying to the yard. When I get up early to make breakfast and feed the fish in the yard, it will lazily land on my shoulder, already full of wine and food.

Only when Hibari Kyouya passed the corridor, the little guy would lazily spread his wings and fly towards him while singing the school song of Nishiki High School.Although he decided to keep it, Hibari Kyouya didn't take special care of Yundou.Even when the little guy took the initiative to stick to it, he often just glanced at it, and walked to the front hall without changing his face.

Fortunately, Yundou is not so clingy to him.Before lunch time, it would always come back for a walk alone, stop by the window lattice of the kitchen, call "skylark" a few times, and ask me for some rice grains in the fermented rice.No matter how many times I correct it, the little guy can't learn to call me by my name.It seemed that he only had the lark in his eyes, and he knew that even if he called it wrong, I would give it rice grains, so he just called it that way.

I don't care about the little guy, and I won't correct it after a long time.

It's just that the dull days didn't last too long.Every morning when I take out the trash, I have to check the mailbox. Most of it contains leaflets, which is not surprising.Today, I found a blank envelope containing half a ring and a small note.

"Please be sure to give this to him."

An unsigned sentence seems to be written without thinking, but the amount of information is quite rich.I took a closer look at the half of the ring, not surprisingly, I recognized it as Vongola's ring.

It seems that not only the candidate for the leader, but also the Guardian of the Cloud chosen by the tenth-generation Pengelie family has a lot to do with the early days.

I squeezed the ring and looked at it, and couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

It was originally Mr. Arnold's thing, but after more than a century, it will finally return to Skylark's hands.

Although there is only half of it, it can still be seen that the shape of the ring is very different from what I saw at the beginning.At that time, it looked too luxurious, and it was inevitable to be ostentatious when worn on the hand.Therefore, Mr. Arnold always wears it only when necessary, and even sharply criticized the aesthetics of the design of this ring.

Shaking my head, I put away the note, put the ring back in the envelope and went back to the house.It happened that Hibari Kyouya had arrived at the entrance and was about to go to school.

"Mr. Gong." I handed him the envelope, "I found this in the mailbox just now."

He glanced at me, and without taking the envelope first, he threw me the uniform jacket in his hand.I was a little stunned, caught the coat, and watched him take the envelope, "Don't you take your coat to school today?"

The dew is heavy in the morning, and it is the time of changing seasons. He always catches a cold easily in previous years.I just went out like this, and I don't wear a knitted sweater like usual, so I feel a bit chilly.

Hibari Kyouya didn't answer either, just poured out the ring from the envelope, looked at it with raised eyebrows, then looked up at me: "Who gave it to you?"

I shook my head, "No signature."

He didn't just give up like before, but looked at me blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled me to him, took out the note I stuffed there casually from the inside of my belt, and quickly glanced at the paper on it. content.I'm a little surprised, but not too surprised when I think about it.

Having experienced the incident with Obsidian, it's time for him to learn to pay attention to details.

Fortunately, I didn't lie to him, and there was no signature on the note.After he saw it, he didn't say anything, he casually put the ring in his pocket, let go of my hand and went out the door.

At noon, Yundou flew back from Binzhong as usual, but he didn't leave after asking for rice grains as usual.It squatted on the window sill and tilted its head to peck the feathers under its wings. When I brought lunch to the front hall, it fluttered its wings to follow, landed on the table and circled around the plate containing the side dishes.

After the meal, I gave it some snacks, but it accepted them one by one, but did not leave.

I just let it run around the house and left it alone.When it was time to prepare dinner, before I entered the kitchen, I received a call from Kusakabe Tetsuya: "That's right, Ms. Ito... There is something special about today, so the chairman probably won't go back for dinner." He was a little noisy , whistling past like the sound of the wind, probably standing on the roof of the school, "Maybe I will go back later at night... Although the chairman didn't say anything, I think I should tell you."

"I see." I replied, without asking why, "I'm sorry, Mr. Caobi."

Maybe he didn't expect this kind of reaction from me, he hesitated for a while, then said goodbye to me, and hung up the phone.After dinner alone, I took the cookies and went to the lobby to watch the news.Yundou stood by the plate and lowered his head to peck at the biscuit crumbs from time to time, but he was quite quiet.

I looked down at it by chance, but couldn't figure out what kind of bird it was.So I took my laptop and searched on the Internet.After looking at the pictures of various birds one by one, I spent a few hours without knowing it.I remembered that when it was time to take a bath, I still couldn't find a bird similar to the kidney bean.

So I packed up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

It was past eleven o'clock, and I was thinking that Kyouya Hibari might not be going home tonight, but I vaguely heard footsteps in the corridor from the bathroom.

Not just one person.

I didn't have time to dry myself with a bath towel, so I put on my bathrobe and was about to go out to have a look, but I bumped into Hibari Kyouya just as I walked up the corridor.He probably didn't expect me to be in the bathroom, and when he saw me appearing dripping wet, he immediately frowned.

After all, he was a little out of his composure.

"Mr. Gong." I glanced at the blond young man who was following him, brushed back the dripping hair, and bowed slightly by the neckline: "I thought you wouldn't come back tonight."

"I haven't finished my sentence yet, Kyouya—" The blond young man who hurriedly followed him finally stopped, and soon noticed me, with a surprised expression on his handsome face: "Eh? You are..."

The leader of Gabrielone's family?If I remember correctly, it should be Vaulting Madino.

"Mr. Gabrione." I bowed again to greet him, and I briefly introduced, "I am Mr. Gong's housekeeper, Ito Toki."

His subordinates followed and ran into the house, shouting "BOSS" from a distance, it was considered abrupt to rush in at night like this.

"Ito..." Dino Gabrielo was taken aback for a moment, but his expression became even more unbelievable, "So, you are the senior that Reborn mentioned?!" He paused, and quickly looked at me, " I didn't expect such a..."

Kyouya Hibari turned around suddenly, and with one swing of the duckweed crutch in his hand, he swung towards him, interrupting his words.Gabrielone narrowly avoided the blow, obviously still a little bit taken aback. "Get out." Hibari Kyoumi's tone was much colder than usual, and he was very dissatisfied with their intrusion. "Who allowed you to come in, herbivore. Do you want to be bitten?"

Gabrielone smiled helplessly, but took out the long whip that she carried with her, as if she was ready to fight: "Stop beating at home, Gongmi..."

It was the end of spring, and the wind at night was still cool. I waited behind Hibari Kyouya, and it was not good to just leave.

I thought it was inevitable that I would catch a cold, but I didn't expect him to say in the next second: "Ito Toki."

I raised my head, just in time to hear him drop a sentence: "Go back and get dressed." Then I rushed towards Gabrielone without looking back, and quickly pulled up the duckweed crutch in my hand.

I couldn't help smiling, I nodded, and gave a slight nod to Gabrielone's subordinates as farewell, then turned and went into my bedroom.

I can probably guess why he threw his coat to me in the morning.

22 two

During the few days when Hibari Kyouya didn't come back, I had a relatively leisurely life.

It just happened to be Yu Fujita's birthday, so I made a cake and some small desserts and sent them to Fujita's house, and received a gift from him in the evening.The life of a third-year middle school student is very busy. I rarely saw him, and found that he lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, he is in good spirits.

"I'm about to graduate from junior high school, Youjun, please work hard."

"Well, I will definitely!" He replied, as if thinking of something again,
