yo little strawberry

Arisawa Ryuki sat cross-legged on the sofa, casually threw potato chips into his mouth and chewed, "What, Orihime, why did you suddenly ask about Brother Kurosaki?"

Inoue Orihime sat obediently beside her, tilted his head slightly and said, "Hey, I actually discovered their little secret... I think Kurosaki Ichigo protects his younger brother like a hero, and Isshou But Jun is also silently protecting his elder brother. Long Gui, didn’t you know them since childhood, you should know what they were like when they were young, right?”

Hearing what Inoue said, Long Gui sat up straight with vigor, supported his chin with one hand, narrowed his eyes and began to recall the past.

"Don't look at how polite Isshou is now, he is also gentle and considerate to his brother Ichigo. In fact, when they were young, the relationship between the two brothers has always been very bad. I met Ichigo when I was about 4 years old. Come on, he was really small and weak back then. Haha, you know Zhi Ji, I was the first one to beat him to tears in the dojo! Within 10 seconds, he was crying."

Arisawa Ryuki's eyes showed deep nostalgia, she stared out of the window, her voice was a little low, "Why do you say that the relationship between the two brothers was not good when they were young, because Yishou was autistic when he was young, and the neighbors around Said he was a freak, because he never communicated with people, and even his family couldn't open his heart. He seemed to be resisting something, fearing something."

"Hey, Isshou-kun..." Orihime Inoue frowned, subconsciously tightening the hem of her clothes.

She doesn't understand why Yishou suffers from autism, but she definitely understands how difficult it is to live under the strange eyes of people around her.He is obviously no different from other people, but he insists on being regarded as a monster.

Arisawa Longgui sighed, with a helpless smile on his face.

"Although people around have a bad impression of Isshou, none of Kurosaki's family hates Isshou because of it, at least I think so. Because Ichigo has been very protective of Isshou since he was a child, and his parents love him very much. It's just... …I don’t know why, but Yishou still likes to close himself up. I even think that Yishou really doesn’t belong to this world, and doesn’t belong to anyone.”

Time seemed to stand still in the room, and neither of them spoke for a long time.Inoue lowered his head, unconsciously rubbing the hem of the clothes in his hands, his thoughts drifted away, until he heard Long Gui speak again.

"Ichigo is very attached to his mother. She is a beautiful young woman who is so exaggerated. She will talk to Ishou very gently. Although he doesn't go out often, that kind and gentle mother can always persuade Isshou to go out for a walk. , take a walk. Whenever this time, Ichigo will take the initiative to hold his hand. Only at this time, Ichigo will not cling to his mother. I think he may be like establishing a good attitude in front of his younger brother. image of."

Thinking of the Q version of Ichigo pretending to be a man, Inoue couldn't help pursing his lips with joy.

"Ichigo would be knocked down by me every time. Sometimes when I hit hard, he would cry. His face was full of snot and tears, and he cried very badly. But every time he saw his mother, he would cry. Immediately put away the tears and show a flattering smile. Ah, Ichigo really loves his mother."

Speaking of this, Ryuki Arisawa suddenly lowered his head and covered his forehead with his hands, as if suddenly recalling something painful, he kept taking deep breaths trying to calm himself down.

"However, when Ichigo and Ishou were nine years old, their mother died."

Inoue's eyes widened in surprise, looking at Long Gui in disbelief, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"What, what..."

Arisawa Ryuki shrunk his body in pain, hugged his head, his voice was hoarse with a hint of crying, "That was the first time I saw Isshou crying, he was like a wounded animal The wild beast roared like crazy in the rain, and I still can't forget the desperate eyes."

She took a breath, clenched her fists subconsciously, gritted her teeth to drive away the haze of unpleasant memories in her mind, and tried her best to make her voice sound normal.

"...Well, life has changed since then. Perhaps, his mother's death has caused him too much trauma, because I always feel that in his subconscious, his mother's death was caused by him. However, that day He obviously didn't go out with him when he went out. I think the death of his mother is equivalent to the end of the world for Ichigo."

Inoue, who had been silent all this time, looked a little pale, and she waited for a long time before slowly opening her mouth.

"No, Kurosaki-kun will not fall. Because he still has a younger brother who needs his care and protection. For Yishou-kun, the hopeless regret of not being able to keep his mother will make him cherish it even more. The only remaining relatives around."

A faint bitter smile appeared on Inoue's lips.She thought, this is probably the reason why the Kurosaki brothers have such a good relationship.

Because it has been lost, so it will know how to cherish it more than others.

The relaxed and leisurely days passed quickly, and June 6th arrived in a blink of an eye.

This day every year is quite serious and heavy for the Kurosaki family.Kazushou Kurosaki walked on the way to his mother's grave, looked up at the sunny sky, and suddenly felt an inexplicable melancholy in his heart.

It was also June 6th, why is it sunny today, but the day when the memory was stagnant, it was cloudy and light rain, as if the bottom of his heart was the hot tears shed from endless pain and regret.Why, why is it also on June 17th, there is such a big difference between the two...

Yishou once asked himself countless times in his heart, if it wasn't because of his self-enclosed back then, would his gentle and kind mother not have to die.At least, he can remind her that he can even act coquettishly and keep them at home instead of going out shopping in the rainy weather.He can even tell his brother Ichigo not to trust the girl by the river who is about to commit suicide.

In short, as long as he is willing, he can avoid this disaster no matter what.This tragedy took away the life of his mother who cared about him and loved him in this world.And he, apart from endless remorse and self-blame, couldn't do anything.

Just like now, he obviously hoped that it would be cloudy and rainy today to mourn the lost relatives, but the reality is that the sun shines on the earth, and that dazzling light seems to want to illuminate every darkness deep in his heart.

Damn it, the darkness deep in his heart might not be eliminated in this lifetime.

It was the remorse engraved in the bottom of my heart, the ridicule of my ridiculous and stupid behavior back then, and a kind of self-salvation of myself in the previous life-he is no longer the former him, and the current him is Kurosaki Kazushou.

"Isshou, are you okay?" Ichigo looked at Isshou whose face was getting paler and paler, and couldn't help striding forward, looked at him worriedly and said, "Is it because you walked too fast and your body couldn't take it? Your Your face is ugly, should you take a rest?"

Hearing Ichigo's words, Kurosaki Isshin, who was walking at the back, immediately ran to Ishou's side, "Oh my little baby, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Could it be that this bastard kid took possession of you again last night?" Your bed? Alright, let’s see how I can help you teach him a lesson!” As he spoke, he kicked Ichigo away, “You bastard, are you bullying my baby again?! I Just to put it bluntly, yesterday you asked him to apply the ointment for you, so you didn’t feel at ease!! See if I don’t beat you up!”

"Don't talk nonsense!! I asked Yishou to help me with the medicine. It's been like this since I was a child! You are jealous, and Yishou never cares about you! Also, don't put your damn hands on him You didn’t wash your hands when you went to the toilet just now!!” Ichigo stood up like a fighting cock, and he stretched out his arms to protect Isshou behind him, “Isshou, don’t be afraid, I will will protect you."

Yishou held his forehead helplessly, "Stop fighting you two, if you want to fight, don't fight in front of Xia Li and Youzi..." He turned his head and looked at his two little sisters worriedly, "Xia Li, don't fight with Dad , Brother, you’ve learned it badly. It’s wrong to fight, so don’t imitate them…”

Just when Isshou was earnestly teaching the two little Lolis not to learn to fight, Yishin behind him had avoided Ichigo's attack and rushed towards them.

"Ah, let me hug my lovely children, let me kiss you... mua..."

Before Yishou could react, Xia Li next to him kicked someone hard with a beautiful roundabout kick.Seeing his father rolling down the slope like a meatball, the corner of Yishou's mouth twitched.

Hey, his sister is really merciless.

"Don't worry about him, let him climb up slowly by himself later." Ichigo curled his lips indifferently, and habitually hooked Isshou's shoulders, "Did you not sleep last night? Smells bad."

Yishou was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly turned his head and met those bright eyes, "Brother, at this time of year, I feel like..." He paused, lowered his head hesitantly, and stopped looking at Looking at those clear and energetic eyes, "Brother, please leave me alone for a while."

After speaking, he pulled down the arm that was on his shoulder, turned around and ran away quickly without looking at Ichigo.

Ichigo stared blankly at the direction where Isshou disappeared, his originally bright eyes suddenly became dull.He lowered his head and muttered to himself: "...you don't need to blame yourself at all. Because, the one who really killed my mother was actually me."

If he hadn't willfully ran to the river to save people, his mother wouldn't have died.Obviously his name has the meaning of protecting, and he obviously wants to protect his mother, but in the end, what did he do.

"The whole family is centered on mother, but I have completely taken away this center."

The dense bushes, towering trees seem to cover the entire green space, blocking the glare of the sun, leaving a large area of ​​shade.Yishou walked aimlessly on the forest path, subconsciously trying to hide himself, just like he locked himself in the room when he was a child, shrinking in a dark corner like a dirty little animal.

It's just that now no one will hold him tenderly in his arms, comfort him in a low voice, or touch him.No one can use his most tender love to touch and warm him a little bit.

Yishou felt that his eyes were a little astringent, and his eye sockets became hot, as if some kind of liquid was about to gush out.He sniffed, trying to suppress the urge to shed tears.

Just when Yishou unconsciously hugged the big tree and secretly shed tears, there was a rustling sound from the bushes behind him.Nearly a month of training has greatly improved his physical fitness in all aspects, and he tensed up almost instantly, putting himself on combat alert.

The rustling in the bushes was getting closer and closer, until a pair of familiar clogs appeared in sight, and Kazushou collapsed as if he was relieved.

"...The store manager, why are you here?"
