Only Gojo Satoru doesn't know

Yuuki has been walking with Gojo Satoru all the time recently. Except when they are on missions, they always go to eat together and exchange experiences in the development of spells.Inseparable as ever.It seemed that Xia Youjie, You Ji's real boyfriend, was a little embarrassed.

His nerves were constantly tortured by Yuuki's actions, consuming his mind.Especially as time goes by, he and Yuki get more and more time together.

An uncontrollable sense of irritability kept rising and rolling in his heart.

Only time is passing by, but the relationship between him, Yuki, Gojo Satoru and the three of them seems to be frozen.There is neither retreat nor advance.

"Yuuki has never been in a relationship with anyone for more than three months." Satoru seemed to be still in front of him as he was slurring his words with a lollipop in his mouth.

When he heard these words at that time, did he ever think that such words would one day be like a knife to his death?

"It's already winter." When Xia Youjie went to Niigata for a mission, it was snowing in the sky there.This short, suffocatingly beautiful place in Kawabata Yasunari's works entered winter at this time.

He and You Ji dated at the end of Xia Tian, ​​but now it has snowed.

It will be three months soon.

He recalled Yuuki's attitude towards him, and didn't think he could be the special one among her boyfriends.

Speaking of which, has Yuuki ever been special to anyone?Oh, she's special to Satoru.But this special is not his, nor does it belong to anyone except Wu.

Thinking of this, he hated You Ji a little bit, since he just had such a playful attitude, and didn't seriously want to fall in love with him.Then why did he confess to him at that time?

I was also an idiot who agreed to confess at that time.

However, however...

Xia Youjie stuffed this curse spirit into his mouth expressionlessly.What a disgusting and familiar smell.

When he was with You Ji, he never felt that the curse spirit was so unpalatable.But when he was alone, he felt that the smell of the curse spirit was more annoying than before.

He didn't like the taste of the strawberry chocolate sundae either, it was too sweet and greasy, it was entirely Wu's preference.

"Jie, you don't seem very happy recently. Is there something on your mind?" You Ji sat opposite Xia Youjie, calculating something with a pen and paper.Seeing that Xia Youjie hadn't moved, she stopped what she was doing and asked him softly.

The frown was furrowed, and there was no fake worry in the eyes.Every time Xia Youjie saw You Ji's expression, he couldn't help being a little puzzled. Is this her true feelings, or just a disguise?

"You Ji, we are boyfriend and girlfriend now, right?" He didn't continue to eat the sundae, but picked up plain water and drank it.

"Of course." Yuki replied without hesitation.

Xia Youjie put down the water glass in his hand, and looked at her fixedly, "But I think you treat Wu much better than me, whether it's the way you get along or time. You treat Wu much better."

time.Unless time can be turned back, even Xia Youjie himself does not believe that he can replace Gojo Satoru in You Ji's life.

After hearing this, You Ji fell silent, tapping her fingers on the notebook.

Xia Youjie thought she would laugh and fool around.But Yuuki was thinking about something unexpectedly.

An inexplicable panic came to my mind all of a sudden, what would he do if You Ji proposed to break up at this time?

He didn't want to think about it.

Fortunately, You Ji did not break up with him. You Ji ordered a cup of hot tea, and slowly told him a story while holding the teacup.

A story about her past.

He had heard bits and pieces of this story from Gojo Satoru, and glimpsed bits of it from Yuuki, but he never knew it was like this.

……

"Ah... ah, how could this be." He could hardly speak.

Why did Yuuki have to encounter these things?Why would You Ji be treated like this while living under the blue sky and also being a conjurer?

He even suddenly felt that it didn't matter how nice Yuuki was to Wu, it was clearly the best thing that the pain could end sooner.

"I'm sorry... I," he couldn't help covering his face with his hands, unable to look at Yuuki.

"...Speaking of which, it's actually the first time I've mentioned this to others." Yuki smiled, holding the teacup and letting out a long breath.

"I hate that past, so Jie, you have to forget it quickly." She tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, but she looked vulnerable for no reason.

The steam of the tea steamed upwards, You Ji hugged the cup, lost in thought.He didn't know what to do, he just looked at Yuuki without speaking.

Suddenly You Ji smiled, looked at Xia Youjie with moist eyes and said to him, "Jie, make a contract with me."

"contract?"

"It's my technique, don't you think it makes more sense?"

Meaning... Xia Youjie couldn't answer this question. To be honest, since this summer, he didn't quite understand the word meaning.

"...It's meaningless, and it's pretty good." Confusion flashed through his long and narrow phoenix eyes, but he stretched out his hand.

He stretched out his hand and concluded a "contract" with Yuuki.

"[Bai Fu] [Le Tian], everything will be fine in the end." The mantra flowed between the two, You Ji looked at Xia Youjie, with a soft and warm smile on the corner of her mouth.With just one click, the technique was connected between the two.

He shook his hand and felt the heat on his chest.That's it, is it such a simple operation that can be connected together, imprisoning You Ji's life?

This is too sad.

"The one I connected to you is [Le Tian], and it's actually not good for you." She looked at Xia Youjie apologetically, as if she was embarrassed.

"I know about this kind of thing." Xia Youjie smiled, not taking it to heart.

Yuki buried her mouth in the teacup, gurgling and spitting bubbles, her eyes were a little distracted.

What she didn't tell Xia Youjie was that once the technique was successfully connected, she could vaguely sense his emotions through this connection.No matter how far away.

Originally, she didn't establish this connection with Jie just because she thought it was unnecessary, but now... Yuuki frowned.But now that it was winter, she needed more spell power.Otherwise, it's not easy for Baihui to fool her.

Thinking of Zhen Baihui, Yuuki couldn't help but sneered in her heart.

When it snowed even in Tokyo, Yuuki returned to the house of truth on time as expected.

Zhen Baihui was lying half dead on the brocade bed like the last time she came, and there were even a new pair of eyeballs in the eye sockets that had been empty when Yuki left.

Youji stared at those eyes, and Baihui gritted her teeth, "These are my sister's eyes, they are her relics, you won't even be upset about this?"

"How come?" Yuki smiled, "It's just a little bit of nostalgia."

"Missing? What do you have... Cough, cough, cough." The itching of interest from the depths of her lungs interrupted her words, making her cough unbearably.

The continuous coughing sounded like she wanted her to cough up her lungs, and she didn't let her go until she coughed up blood.

"Shu... Shushi, [Momofuku], [Momofuku] ah..." Zhen Baihui covered her mouth with one hand, and held You Ji tightly with the other hand.She struggled almost like a ghost.

"Don't be so anxious, you're coughing up blood on me." Yuki squeezed Baihui's wrist forcefully, twisting her hand to hold her down.

Yuuki smiled, "It will be fine soon."

With the circulation of the mantra, Baihui gradually stopped struggling, and she had never felt so comfortable.

The pain subsided along with the unbearable itching, and she felt that all the strength she had lost due to the disease had returned to her body.There is no place in the limbs that is not comfortable, and there is no place where strength is not flowing.

"This is amazing." She murmured looking at Yuuki, "Your ability is much more powerful than I imagined."

Did my sister have such a feeling in the last days of her life?

Yuki looked at her and just smiled easily.It's not as scary as what she said before, "What you transmit is your own vitality".

"Okay, what about what I want? As you, it's been a long time and it's time to get it." Yuuki stretched out her hand with the same smile on her lips.

Zhen Baihui gritted her teeth looking at Yuuki, and took out a booklet from under the pillow and handed it to her, "Of course I got it. But I don't know why you want this thing? Black stuff doesn’t even count.”

You Ji flipped through the booklet, and smiled with satisfaction, "You don't need to worry about it, I have my own use."

"By the way, Baihui, do you want to know a secret?" You Ji said to her with a smile while drawing something on the booklet with a pen.

At this time, Zhen Baihui had already stepped off the bed, she moved her limbs wantonly and stretched her body.Hearing Yuuki's words, she couldn't help frowning, "Forget it, I just want to live. Knowing too many secrets is not helpful for living."

"Oh, is that so? That's really a pity." Yuuki said, a bit of regret actually appeared on her smiling face.

"I wanted to tell you, what are the functions of [Baifu] and [Letian]." She smiled softly, but her voice made Zhen Baihui shudder.

[Momofuku] and [Lotte]?Aren't these the two types of the technique that You Ji was born with?

Momofuku can only be connected to one at a time, which can provide that person with mana, enhance attack, and even share the damage that person suffers.But Lotte just connects two people and can transmit spell power without other effects.

She knew this kind of thing when she was 15 years old, but why... You Ji still said that?

Zhen Baihui instinctively felt that she couldn't ask this question, so she smiled dryly, "I can continue to add to that list for you."

Yuuki smiled.

She looked up at Baihui, showing a smile that made Zhenzhen Baihui feel like she was alive after a catastrophe, "A wise choice."
