[Net King + Black Basket] Seijuro, your mother calls you to go home for dinner!

"So, watch a movie?" Xun Li excitedly pointed to the huge poster on the opposite side of the busy street. The KProject movie that the children had been waiting for had just been released three days ago. The content... Xun Li hadn't seen it, but It is said that this film is full of passion and passion, and is most suitable for children to watch.

The inner core is a high school student Seijuro turned his head silently, expressing that he did not know Kaoru.

"Sleeping spell?"

That's clearly the cheating and ruining childhood series that Disney withdrew!

"Hobbit?"

Sorry he's not interested in sci-fi changed movies.

Xunli's proposals were all rejected by Seijuro, who has a picky taste. She touched her head helplessly and decided to use her real trick, "Since Xiaozheng doesn't want to watch movies, let's go to the bookstore?"

He was about to shake his head, but when he heard her proposal, he nodded abruptly, agreeing almost without hesitation.

This is good, my mother has a bit of taste.

Walking in the vast crowd, Seijuro rarely looked at the city he had lived in for more than ten years calmly. The newly built high-rise buildings are still an empty space. The mobile phone style is still a clamshell model, and few people are staring at the mobile phone screen while walking and typing on the keyboard.People at this time pay more attention to spiritual and oral communication.

Even the air inhaled into the nasal cavity is much fresher.

The largest bookstore in downtown Tokyo was exactly as he remembered it.Although he thinks that the amount of books in his home is comparable to a small library, for the intellectual development of this body, it is necessary for him to choose a few books to take home and put them on the desk.

"Here we are." Xunli took Seijuro to the second floor by elevator.He looked around and found that the readers around him were about the same age as him.

"This is... the children's book section?" The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, not letting his dissatisfaction be too obvious.

"correct."

"Mom, I want to go shopping by myself." Seijuro tugged at her hand, "Can you wait for me somewhere else?"

"There's a Starbucks on the first floor, I'll wait for you there."

The empathetic Kaori always thinks about leaving some private space for the children, which is one of the advantages that Seijuro knows and has always been grateful for.

Seijuro watched her go down the stairs, and after confirming that her back was completely out of sight, he turned and went straight to the fourth floor—this is usually the most unpopular floor, with only a few middle-aged and elderly people in the desert .

The bookshelves on the fourth floor are also less than those on the first three floors, and there are esoteric foreign original works and ancient Japanese anthologies that young people hardly touch.

Seijuro carefully selected a few books that he had heard of before but had no time to read, and folded them into a pile. Under the astonished eyes of adults, he moved them to the corner with difficulty, found a row of benches where no one was sitting, and opened them impatiently. The top one starts to read at the speed of ten lines per glance.

The time of quiet reading always passes quickly, as if the fine sand piled up into hills quietly falls from the hourglass, and finally there is nothing left, only empty bottles.

……

Kaori couldn't take it after spending half an hour at Starbucks, but she knew Seijuro was a complete bookworm who couldn't stop once he touched a book.She had no choice but to wander slowly to the third floor to pick out a few books to read (a good habit developed by being bored at Akashi's house), and floated to the fourth floor to find some foreign literature.

As a result, he caught sight of the conspicuous red-haired kid.

This was beyond her expectations, but also expected.

Xunli was going to sneak around behind him to scare him, but he didn't expect Seijuro to discover her existence when she was still a few steps away, and suddenly raised his head and bumped into her sight.

"Ah..." She turned her head in embarrassment, "So you are here!"

"Yes, found an interesting book."

"What is this? Chernyshevsky?" She struggled to spell out the long string of hard-to-spell names of Russian authors.After glancing at the title of the book, her expression changed suddenly, "Huh!? Even I have a half-knowledge of this book! No, no, the point is, will anyone pay attention to this kind of book in the 21st century?"

"It was rare for philosophers of that era to have such a deep understanding of 'serf emancipation'."

Seijuro accidentally said some unnecessary words, he quickly shut up, not daring to say too much.

Xun Li stood there in a daze for a long while, and it was the first time that he discovered that his clever and outstanding child was hidden so deeply.At such a young age, I even heard such incomprehensible and complicated words as "serf emancipation".

"But, but I still prefer Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment"... He once criticized Chernyshevsky's "What to Do" for its childish thinking." After the nonsense, she wanted to bite off her tongue.

Seijuro's eyes lit up, and he immediately straightened up and dropped the heavy book in his hand.He also didn't know that his mother was a hidden fan of philosophical novels.

"I think……"

"It's almost time. Has Xiaozheng picked out the book yet? Let's go check out!" She accepts it as soon as she sees it, and doesn't give Seijuro a chance to express her opinion at all.

"Today's Xiaozheng is too weird, has he been brainwashed by aliens? He looks like a staid old pedant for a moment... It's almost like being possessed by Masashi." She complained depressedly.

Seijuro lowered his head in discouragement, thinking that if fate could favor his mother and prevent her from leaving him so early, maybe they would become closer.

Just getting along with his mother for 11 years is not enough for him to explore the story of his mother, but the other party understands him so thoroughly.

Seijuro is born afraid of his thoughts and ideas being peeped by the outside world, but his mother, Seijuro cannot reject and resist her from entering his world.

"Where are we going right now?" He raised his head and asked.

Xunli carried the shopping bag containing the books in one hand, and took Seijuro's hand with the other.She had already thought about the next location, "I went to the bookstore with you just now, let's go shopping with my mother~"

Seijuro, who has zero love experience, has no experience in shopping with the opposite sex, but he knows that this is one of the experiences that male humans fear most.

Just treat it as a different kind of experience, he is very curious about everything about his mother, and he is willing to accompany her wherever she wants to go.

Xun Li went to several shops that he often went to, but he couldn't find any clothes he was satisfied with.After walking out of the clothing store, she paused and pointed to the restroom in the distance.

"Do you remember? I was going to the bathroom, and you were tricked by the strange sorghum here."

Seijuro tried his best to think back for a while, it seems that... this really happened...

He nodded obediently.

"I was really scared. Fortunately, I found it later." She curled her lips, her tone full of resentment. "It's the first time I realize that Xiaozheng is occasionally an uneasy child."

Seijuro glared at her with a deflated expression on his face.He really had no memory of the reason for being abducted.

During the shopping, there was an episode. Xunli went to a newly opened store and found Mai's agent Kiseyu standing at the cash register.After explaining, I found out that he is the agent owner of this store, and the one who helped design the clothes is his wife who is a professional designer.

"That's great~" The whole family is engaged in fashion work, Xunli is a little envious.In this way, 360 five-day clothes will not be repeated.

"Haha, in order to thank you for your patronage, I will give you a [-]% discount today."

"Hey, how embarrassing..." Xun Li still smiled and picked up a long-sleeved T-shirt closest to her with embarrassment on her lips. "Hey, there are different models?"

"This is a parent-child outfit."

An idea flashed in Xunli's mind, why didn't she think of buying parent-child clothes for the whole family before?I believe Masashi, who has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart, will accept it.

"I want three." She picked out three burgundy T-shirts of different sizes, with Q-version smiling faces of parents and children painted on them, and cartoon English letters of Father, Mother, and Son on the bottom.

"Mom!" Xunri yelled angrily as he took out his wallet before Seijuro wanted to stand up and stop him.

"What's the matter? Does Xiaozheng like this style?"

Naturally, Xun Li didn't know that the child who had always been obedient to him would not want to wear this kind of childish parent-child clothing, so he thought he liked it very much.

"..." Seijuro is at a loss for words. Although he is only seven years old physically, it doesn't mean that his aesthetics have also returned to seven years old!

"What a lovely dress, let's change it right away!"

Mom, you are really enough.

Seijuro, who was about to cry without tears, was pushed into the locker room by Xunli full of expectations. He just lingered in it for 5 minutes, but he didn't have the nerve to open the door.

Many red-eyed Obasan praised his new look in every possible way, and cast envious and jealous eyes at Xun Li, who was of course very proud.Seijuro touched his reddened face like a piece of burning paper.

Not to mention in Luoshan, when he was in Teiguang, the team members had to respect him, let alone look directly at him (looking down) or make fun of him rudely.

"Cuteness MAX!" Xunli covered her nose, "Xiaozheng took a selfie~"

He used to be blind and didn't notice the thousands of photos stored in his mother's cell phone photo album, 1/3 of which were secretly taken by him, and 1/3 were photos of his mother and him together.

A generation of young king Akashi Seijuro realizes with grief that he really doesn't understand his mother... Is it still too late to save his three views and his integrity?

The scariest thing was yet to come. Xun Li also changed into a parent-child outfit, a mother’s style. The two ran for three streets in clothes with smiling faces on their chests, and ran all the way to the gathering place where young people took pictures of Pika. They insisted on taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime Good opportunity to catch trendy photoshoot with my son.

Seijuro, who had sneered at little girls for half his life, was petrified, the lofty image of his mother in his heart collapsed into a mess, and the background sound of "Londonbridgeisfallingdown" was in an infinite loop...

"In this way, Xiaozheng's cute appearance can be preserved forever." Er Kongxun pretended to be an idiot.

Seijuro turned to face the wall for a few seconds, he seriously doubted whether his mother's inner core had also been replaced or if he was just so stupid and cute but he never noticed it.Seijuro, who is the second-best mind in the school and no one dares to be the number one, felt that it was very necessary to go to the drawer in the locked room of his mother after wearing it back to see if there were many shame/shame/objects related to himself hidden in the bottom layer. .

destroy!Must be destroyed!

As the saying goes, ideals are full, but reality is cruel.Seijuro was abducted into the store under Xunli's gentle suppression, and he made a few stiff movements in front of the camera helplessly, including a gesture of fighting for love with her, which is a masterpiece.

Afterwards, Xun Li happily added stars, flowers and other messy frame decorations to the photos.Seijuro has an extra pair of rabbit ears on top of his head...

Seijuro swears that this is the most embarrassing moment in his life.

"The smile is a little unnatural, Xiaozheng is not in shape today." She took out the finished product from the machine and looked at the photo stickers. "Come again next time!"

Seijuro expressed his dissatisfaction in his heart without saying a word.I just ask Xun Li not to say that she is going to put it in her wallet...

"Would you like one to stick on the pencil case?"

"No, I don't need it anymore." He trembled faintly, which made his hair stand on end more than what he imagined!He has experienced the vicious taste of his mother, and it is simply miserable.

On the way back, Xunli had a whim, and wanted to take the Shinkansen and then take the bus home, saying that it was to cherish the time alone with Seijuro.When I arrived at the gate of the house, the red clouds in the sky had faded away, and it took about ten minutes to walk to the gate of the mansion.

Carrying the book bag for a long time made her arms faintly sore, and I don't know how Seijuro noticed it, so he asked him to carry the book himself.

"How can this be done? It's too heavy." The good parent, Xun Li, shook his head, "Besides, I'll be home soon."

"But……"

"Xiao Zheng's body is still too thin."

"I will grow again." Although he was a little disappointed with his height.

"You need to exercise more." She urged earnestly, "Although there are always strengthening exercises and taking courses such as fencing and equestrian, but you must cultivate a more common sports, so you may be able to join the school club for development. "

Seijuro immediately thought of basketball and his original intention of learning basketball - not only was his mother once the head of the women's basketball department, but she also constantly inspired himself to take basketball as a hobby when he was a child, so as to enrich his little free time.

To be honest, the first few years when I first started playing basketball, I was really happy.It's just that as time went on, something changed.

If he had never learned basketball, would his fate have changed in the future?I won't...

Xunli noticed that the child became a little silent, so she took the initiative to pat him on the shoulder to signal him to regain his senses.

"What are you thinking about?"

"basketball."

He unexpectedly revealed what was in his heart without any precautions!Seijuro's expression was natural, but there was already an uproar in his heart.

As the former head of the basketball department, Xun Li was stunned for a moment, and excitedly grabbed Seijuro's hand——

"You agreed? Learn basketball?"

"I……"

"I'll tell Yashi tonight, if he doesn't teach you, I'll fight him!" She confidently patted her chest to assure.

Seijuro pulled the corners of his mouth narrowly and smiled, feeling ridiculous for his previous thoughts, even if he went back to his childhood, he could not change his future destiny.

Unable to change his life, he couldn't help but spurn his weak self.

Seijuro saw his father nine years ago at the dinner table. At this time, he is like the image of a strict father in the future, but he has an unusually gentle attitude towards him as a child.Seijuro once resented him. He didn't even keep a single photo after his mother left. On the anniversary of his mother's death, he could only study like crazy, not letting himself have a moment of free time to think about it.

Can't understand why Masashi is so calm about his mother's death.

He raised his head and stared at Masashi again with some indifference in his eyes.Since Xunli left, the relationship between him and his father has also dropped to the bottom.It was as if the last bridge connecting the world of the two had collapsed.

Masashi had noticed Seijuro's abnormality tonight, but he didn't say anything, and left the restaurant to go to the study after dinner.In a sense, their habit of keeping things in their hearts is very similar.

At the flick of a finger, the hour hand pointed to nine o'clock, and it was time to go to bed.

Seijuro came out of the bathroom and stood in front of the bedroom door on the third floor without stepping in for a long time.

With both hands hanging by his side clenched into fists, he was thinking, after tonight, would he return to the indifferent and cruel nine years later?

"That does not work……!"

After only one day of contact with his mother, Seijuro already realized that something was different.Pressing his forehead against the cold door, he tried hard to suppress another thought hidden deep in his body.

He was struggling and roaring.

Another Akashi Seijuro who has been frozen for a long time wants to break out of the cocoon to replace him who has the current control of the body.

"Stop dreaming." A cold smile floated on his lips, "I, who is above victory...how could I let you out so easily?"

"Xiao Zheng? Why don't you go to sleep?" A soft female voice sounded from behind, Seijuro's face changed, and he quickly stood still.

"I'm about to go back to my room." After saying that, he turned and opened the doorknob.

Anyway, there were still three hours left, and he had a strong premonition that he would return to reality after tonight.

Thinking of this, he started to feel lost.

Is it about to end?Is this the last look?Maybe I won't be able to see her again in the future, even the photos...

I can no longer feel her breath, and can no longer be held in her tender arms.

"!" Seijuro suddenly grabbed the clothes around his heart, and the indescribable pain almost exploded in his head!

Xunri could see his weird movements and subtle facial changes, even though she didn't know what happened, she wouldn't ask until Seijuro asked.

"well enough?"

"……Um."

"Does Xiaozheng want your mother to sleep with you?" She joked casually. Anyway, there are not a few children in Shang Elementary School who still share the bed with their mother, and Xunli doesn't think it's anything to be ashamed of.

He turned his face away in embarrassment, never saying that he really had a strong desire to keep her.

At her instigation, Seijuro and she lay face to face on the same big bed.With a mind of 16 years old, his face was slightly red, and he deliberately placed a pillow between them.

Xun Li was amused by his adult-like behavior, "What's the matter, I often hugged you to sleep when you were a baby."

"..." This made him even more embarrassed.I really have nothing to do with my mother.

"Well... good night." She turned off the bedside lamp, leaned over to remove the pillow, and left a feather-light good night kiss on Seijuro's left eye.

She didn't know that Seijuro was on the verge of collapse at this time.He covered his mouth tightly with one hand, not wanting her to hear his choking sound.

Obviously, she was almost completely forgotten... Fate brought him back to his childhood, it was simply too cruel.

——The stronger the king on the surface, the weaker his heart is.Only in front of the closest people can he remove the disguise.

Seijuro wrapped his hands around Kaoru's neck, buried his head deeply in her neck, and curled up his body like he did when he was a child.

The nostrils are full of the smell of mother.

"Whether it's this me or the other me in my body, I respect and love you so much..."

He closed his eyes in relief.

……

When Seijuro opened his eyes again, he was standing in the locker room with complicated emotions.In his hand was the sweat-soaked T-shirt he had just taken off.

"ended."

He stood silently for a while, then picked up the towel in the cabinet and walked towards the bathroom.

When he changed into clean clothes again, Seijuro had completely recovered from the trip through time and space, and he was no longer thinking about his mother in another world.

He lowered his eyes, and suddenly found a few small pieces of paper falling from his pocket.He squatted down to pick it up, and turned it over to see——

"It's actually..." Lying quietly in the palm of his hand was a photo of him and his mother.

However, the place on the left belonging to the mother is empty, as if this person never existed.Only the young Seijuro made a heart-shaped gesture, and the other half of the heart was missing.

A shadow quickly passed through his squinted eyes, and suddenly, the heavy sadness brought about by loss and parting gnawed at his heart... But Seijuro is not someone who is easily defeated.

"Goodbye, now, it's time to face reality."

He crumpled the photo stickers into a ball and threw them into the trash can in the corner.

The author has something to say: ↓BGM stamp

※This chapter is quite sweet, and the ending is a bit cruel=3=Due to the space, Dad only showed a small face.The next chapter enters the third volume! (Poor volume name not yet thought of)

※Before, there was a little angel who wanted to know how the seven-year-old Xiaozheng would feel in the 16-year-old world and found that his mother was gone... This meme can be there! w (Can blue wave rockets be used?)

I originally wanted to use OOR's Notes'n'Words, the phrase "causeeverythingaroundyouisalittlebitbrighterfromyourlove" is so appropriate, but I couldn't find the link, so I had to use OOR's AllMine, I always feel that the lyrics are so shameful=/////=

"I'm finally tired and broken / Nothing I do / I'm left with a shell / Nothing feels right without you / Days without you / Only clouds and rain / Wait until tomorrow / I will Always waiting/Just because you're my one and only..."

After lunch, Xunli suggested to do something else. Since it is called a two-person world date between mother and child, more interaction is the key to improving the relationship~ (The relationship value has already been full, hey QAQ)
