[Death] and listen to the singing

"Speaking of..."

"What?" Although Konghe's bento looks too... girly?cute?childish? ?In short, it doesn't fit Ichigo's style, but overall the taste is good. Ichigo shared half of the meal, ate some first, and then pushed it to Gin.

When Byakuya saw this, he frowned, and just about to say something, Ichigo didn't want to cut him off decisively, "Baizai, I've always been like this at home, I'm used to it, don't say anything like being too skinny and eating so little. , I'm taller than Bai Zai~~ Don't frown all the time, it's easy to get old."

This at home of course refers to the Kurosaki family. It is really not easy for such a father to eat a meal in peace. Only when he is at Kuchiki's house will he obediently eat all the food he should eat under the supervision of someone. Lose.But when someone is not someone at the moment, Ichigo is very conscientious in maximizing the use of his current advantages - he is very familiar with Byakuya's habits→knows the meaning of every look in his eyes→knows what behaviors he will find uncomfortable with him→ Block his mouth before he opens his mouth → do what he likes → complete it!

Ichigo thought so beautifully, Bai Zai, who was still in his teenage years, could only grind his teeth angrily, then bowed his head and ate in silence.

Ichigo grinned cheerfully, enjoying the comfort of "finally no longer being eaten to death by someone" for a long time. His long-standing wish finally became a reality. Ichigo was in a good mood, and turned to Silver with a bright smile, "Silver, What were you trying to say just now?"

"Ah, it's nothing. In fact, I just wanted to say that it's the first time I saw Kuchiki's shriveled appearance~~ Kuchiki has always looked like he's aloof and difficult to get close to. Ichigo and Kuchiki got on good terms all of a sudden. It's really gratifying Congratulations, congratulations~"

"Okay, okay?! What kind of word is this! It's a friend, a friend!" Ichigo blushed half of his face, his orange hair stood on end, and his whole body seemed to jump up from the ground, like Fried cats are just as fun.Although we have not been together for a short time with Byakuya, but because of this, they are often teased by bad friends. People like Ichigo who are not very thick-skinned are being teased thinner and thinner, so that now I hear The sensitivity of similar words is beyond the limit.

"Little Ichigo, I didn't say anything else~ Isn't it good to be good friends~~~ It's up~~ Where did Xiao Yihu go?~"

"Don't pay attention to him, the more you react, the more he will tease you." Bai Zai said bluntly, still eating the weirdly red bento with the usual elegant movements that ordinary people can't bear to smell the spiciness in the nose.

Yin had a sly smile on his usual fox face, "Oh, come to think of it, Kuchiki is eating at the academy for the first time today, right?~"

"Huh?" What's going on?what's the situation?What is the first time?

Gin slightly opened his squinted eyes, revealing a little bit of blue light, "Hehe, Kuchiki only has half-day classes in Mao in the afternoon since he entered school, and it is said that he receives personal guidance from his grandfather at home in the morning~~"

"Eh? Can Mao's students only have half-day classes?"

"Ordinary students are not allowed~ For example, I~~~ But as the Kuchiki family of the four nobles, they will not have any objections to making requests to the academy. As expected of the temperament of the nobles~ I feel that studying at the academy is boring. It's more meaningful to waste time in theoretical class than to receive special training from the family, right Kuchiki?~"

"Then why did Byakuya come to the academy today?" Ichigo looked at Byakuya who had been silent since Yin spoke, very curious.

Ichigo didn’t know how Byakuya spent his childhood. He took it for granted that Byakuya had an iceberg-like personality when he was young. Such a personality was indeed difficult to make friends with at the same time, but later found out that the little iceberg didn’t actually exist. On the contrary, it is a super interesting little volcano. Such a personal friend should be completely fine.Sure enough, it was because of his noble status...

"Hehe, that's why I said it~ Because I'm 'good' with Xiaoyihu~~ Kuchiki finally has a friend, so I came back to apply for a full-time class?~Congratulations~~"

Finally have...friends? "Silver, aren't you Bai Zai's friend?"

"What kind of friend, how can a commoner have the nerve to climb up to the young master of a noble family~ isn't it Kuchiki?"

"Didn't you say we were friends before..." Ichigo looked at him incredulously, and hesitated a bit when speaking.

"No, I'm talking about Ichigo, Ichigo is my friend~~~"

No one spoke for a while, Bai Zai still focused on chewing the food silently, and didn't even give them a look.Ichigo opened his mouth, but finally chose to give up.The air suddenly froze.

In fact, Ichigo really doesn't think Gin has much respect for Byakuya, a noble young master. When he calls Byakuya, he doesn't add honorifics, but the word "Kuchiki" dryly, and he doesn't have much respect when he talks about the Kuchiki family. admire.Ichigo didn't know that when Gin was the captain of the third division, he only called Byakuya "Captain Kuchiki". difficulty.

Even for Aizen, the attitude of clearly respecting and lowering himself, always standing behind Aizen, but there is always a sense of incongruity that cannot be dissipated, Ichigo always thought it was Gin that was as unfathomable as Aizen Smile, now he knows that maybe this person is not all that everyone sees on the surface.

Just that sense of incongruity, what the hell is it?

"Hey, Byakuya..." Ichigo observed Byakuya cautiously, and then opened his mouth slowly.

Bai Zai chewed the food in his mouth carefully before returning to him, "What are you doing?"

"What Silver said, is it true?"

"Which one are you referring to?"

"what?"

Bai Zai reminded him patiently, "Does it mean you have no friends, or is it about applying for a full-time class?"

It was just a very common sentence, the speaker's indifferent tone seemed to not care about anything, but it hit Ichigo's heart hard. At this moment, there was a dull pain and soreness in his heart, which Ichigo couldn't explain clearly.

It's no wonder that when I said that I regarded him as a friend before, there was a strange light on the young man's pale and not sickly face at that moment.Is it joy from the bottom of my heart...?Just because of such a simple sentence?

Bai Zai, is this your childhood...

"Hey, what's your expression? Are you laughing at me?!"

What? !Ichigo was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss.

After hearing that sentence, Ichigo unconsciously showed a sad expression, but in Bai Zai's eyes, it was sympathy and pity. The proud noble young master, even in the face of this person who unconsciously wants to get close and very much looks forward to becoming friends The orange-haired young man can feel completely different from ordinary people from him. It is not flattery, fear or disgust, but simply treats himself as an ordinary person. The guy who said "we are friends" is not annoying, even delighted.Bai Zai doesn't need sympathy and pity from him like this.The haze flashed across his eyes, and his face sank.

These two words are not in the dictionary of nobles.

Just as he was about to turn over and leave, he was firmly fixed by a sonorous and forceful "No!"

Turning his head involuntarily, he saw Ichigo staring at him with an extremely serious and firm expression, his amber colored glazed eyes intertwined with his dark and deep eyes, and he heard the man saying so word by word , "No, it's not. I just think it's really great to meet Bai Zai." It doesn't matter if it's the you in adulthood or the you now.

It's not to defend myself, but the simplest and most straightforward words are more likely to resonate in my heart than any great truth. Such frank and sincere words make people unable to doubt the authenticity of them. I just feel that if it is this person, it is okay to believe him.

The noble young master who has always been a loner is not as high as he imagined.He hasn't experienced enough, he doesn't know how to hide his emotions, he doesn't know how to be calm, he is still just a innocent boy who hasn't grown up yet.I can't control the enthusiasm for the youth's heart. Under the shackles of the noble name, I just waited for someone, stretched out my hand to myself, and said to myself "I'm glad to meet you" so ordinary, but he never said it from anyone. words heard.

So I tried to make a friend, but I never thought about making a deep friendship.Nobility's reservedness is a terrible and tasteless existence, I don't like it, but in a noble family, I have to give up a lot in order to maintain the glory of the nobility.

"I'm very happy to be Bai Zai's friend. Bai Zai, how about you?"

why?With just one sentence, he wanted to break through all his defenses.

When we first met yesterday, we had a fight. He said he was an opponent, but he easily persuaded him to become a friend.I really like the feeling of staying by his side. I feel the warmth of my long-lost home. My grandfather only teaches me on time every day, and I am also busy with things in the team, so I don’t have much time to accompany me. The young master who is allowed to be raised as an heir is too close to his family.And my father spent less and less time at home after the death of my mother, the only chance to see each other was dinner at night, even so, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren ate in silence, and the nobles kept the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping .

How long has it been since you spoke to your father?

When this person smiled at himself, it seemed that when his mother was still alive, he always liked the scene of smiling gently at his father. The expression was full of love and gentleness, and the atmosphere that no one could blend in made him envious, but also I like it very much.

Looking at this man's smile, a faint warmth surged uncontrollably in his chest, reminding him of his long-dead mother, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help following his wishes.

"Me too, Ichigo."
