Breeze and elegant

My craft, although it is just a bowl of noodles, but the taste is not bad. "

Seeing the person standing in front of the table smiling at him, Byakuya Kuchiki walked to the table and sat down without saying a word, and took the chopsticks from Kiyoya Kuchiki.

Sitting down opposite Kuchiki Byakuya, Kuchiki Kiyoya clasped his hands together while holding the chopsticks, whispered "I'm starting", and started eating noodles.

Kuchiki Kiyoya lowered his head to eat the noodles, and Kuchiki Byakuya looked at the steaming noodles in front of him. It was just a simple bowl of noodles with soup, but it exuded an appetizing aroma.

After stirring the noodles in the bowl, Byakuya Kuchiki began to eat the bowl of noodles made by Kiyoya Kuchiki himself. The taste was not as good as that made by the cook of Kuchiki's family, but it still made him satisfied.

The dinner ended without the two of them saying a word, Kiyoya Kuchiki tidied up the kitchen and dining room, made a pot of tea for Byakuya Kuchiki, the two of them sat in the living room, but neither of them spoke.

"Baizai, do you know why I was adopted by Kuchiki's family?"

"Why do you ask this?" Byakuya Kuchiki looked at the person opposite, wondering why she suddenly asked this.

"Nothing, just suddenly curious."

Not suddenly, but always caring about the question Aizen asked not long ago, for unknown reasons.

At this time, the doorbell rang, and Kuchiki Qingya got up to open the door.

"You're here." Seeing the young man standing outside the door who had changed into casual clothes, Kuchiki Seiya smiled slightly, stepped aside and let Tezuka Kunimitsu enter. "A Tian didn't cause trouble for Aunt and the others, did he?"

"No." Thinking of the fox that he threw to his mother, Tezuka Kunimitsu frowned, "Ah Tian is very good." If he ignores his messy bedroom.

Probably also knew A-Tian's reaction, Kuchiki Kiyoya just smiled and brought Tezuka Kunimitsu into the room, looked at Kuchiki Byakuya who was sitting in the living room drinking tea and said: "Kunimitsu wants to tutor me in math, if Brother Byakuya is bored , you can go to the study to find a book to read, it's the innermost room on the second floor."

"Yeah." Kuchiki Byakuya replied with a single syllable to indicate that he knew it, but sat on the sofa motionless and drank tea.

Regarding this, Kuchiki Seiya could only smile apologetically at Tezuka Kunimitsu, and said, "Sit down first, I'll go up and get the book."

"Okay." Watching Kuchiki Kiyoya go upstairs, Tezuka Kunimitsu sat down in the living room.

The two people who have just met for a short time and whose personalities are too similar sit together and naturally have nothing to say. The silent atmosphere is a bit condensed, and the whole living room is so quiet that only the "tick" sound of the clock hands moving.

Byakuya Kuchiki drank his tea with a straight posture, while Kunimitsu Tezuka flipped through the book he brought.Kuchiki Qingya who came down from the upstairs saw such a scene.

Apparently, the silent two also heard footsteps, and they both looked up at Kuchiki Qingya.And Kuchiki Seiya went to the kitchen to get a cup for Tezuka Kunimitsu, sat down in the living room, and poured him a cup of tea.

"let us start."

"Ah."

Looking at the two people who have already entered the study mode, the neglected Kuchiki Byakuya frowned habitually, and his eyes fell on Kuchiki Kiyoya.

Watching her nod her head from time to time following the boy's explanation, or frown in doubt, and occasionally point out something she doesn't understand.In a daze, he seemed to see Kiyoya Kuchiki when he was studying in Mao many years ago.

At that time, Kuchiki Kiyoya, although she didn't need to study the basics anymore, was still studying the basic courses about Shinigami very seriously, and occasionally asked herself some doubtful questions.The life at that time was leisurely and contented, which he still remembered even after many years had passed.

Kuchiki Seiya is such a person, he always smiles gently and looks like he doesn't care about anything, but he is actually a very serious person.Treat everyone and everything seriously.

Although she has changed a lot in the past 50 years, her nature has not changed much.

After all, she was still the Kuchiki Qingya she knew.

After seeing off Tezuka Kunimitsu, Kuchiki Seiya took a deep breath and then exhaled, turned and entered the room.

Looking at Byakuya Kuchiki who had already stood up, he chuckled lightly: "Now, it's time to resolve the issues between us."

Walking past Kuchiki Byakuya, Kuchiki Qingya was about to sit down on the sofa, but Kuchiki Byakuya grabbed her arm. She turned her head to look at the man with a cold face, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Brother Byakuya doesn't want to sit down?" Would you like to have a good chat with Qingya?"

Kuchiki Byakuya frowned at the "Big Brother Byakuya" who could accentuate his tone, and looked at the person standing opposite seriously, the familiar smile on the familiar face, but with a bit of unfamiliar indifference.

"You are becoming more and more like a human being."

Kuchiki Qingya seemed to have heard a very funny joke, and laughed out loud with a "puchi" and said, "Look at what brother Byakuya said, I am now..."

"You are the god of death!" Kuchiki Byakuya thought about her words, raised his left hand and brushed Kuchiki Qingya's cheek, slender fingertips inserted into the hair on the right side, and finally landed on the cool earlobe.Looking at her with serious eyes, he said firmly, "You are the god of death, you have been in the past, you are in the present, and you will be in the future." Following his words, a wave of spiritual pressure that was not inferior to his came overwhelmingly, and it was so familiar that you wanted to It is impossible to forget, it belongs to Kuchiki Qingya's Reiatsu.

After a brief absence, Kuchiki Kiyoya took a step back to avoid Kuchiki Byakuya's hand, lowered her head and chuckled, "As expected of being the head of the Kuchiki family, you even know this. Then you should also know that I am no longer the A simple god of death." Kuchiki Qingya raised her head and looked at the person in front of her, the smile in her eyes gradually cooled down, "Will the Kuchiki family and even the world of souls accept this kind of Kuchiki Qingya? Will you, who is dominated by the Kuchiki family, accept it?" ?”

The left hand that had been left in vain touched the cool cheek again, and the voice was still firm: "As long as you are Kuchiki Qingya, nothing else matters."

——As long as you are Kuchiki Qingya, nothing else matters.

——As long as I am Kuchiki Kiyoya, is everything else unimportant?

Feeling the temperature on her cheek, for a moment, Kuchiki Qingya felt the urge to cry, but in the end she laughed softly.Whether it's happiness or ridicule, even she doesn't know, maybe there will be more ridicule.

"Byakuza, you're always like this, say something that will misunderstand me, and do something that will misunderstand me." Kuchiki Qingya subconsciously raised the corners of her lips, but the sadness that came from the bottom of her heart made her unable to laugh anymore . "Since you don't like me, don't be so nice to me." Because I was afraid that I would fall into it again and be lost forever.

"Qingya..." Kuchiki Byakuya wanted to refute her words, and wanted to say that he came to her not out of guilt, but seeing the face that no longer smiled, he couldn't utter any words to refute.He never bothered to explain, but at this moment, even if he wanted to, he couldn't explain it.

"Byakuza, I won't go back with you." Taking Kuchiki Byakuya's hand away, ignoring the sense of loss in his heart, the corners of Kuchiki's elegant lips curled up into a perfect arc, "50 years is not enough for the god of death. It may not be a big deal to say, but it is half a century for a person. For me, 50 years is enough to make me forget my liking for you and make me fall in love with others."

The temperature in the palm gradually dissipated, and Kuchiki Byakuya, whose sense of loss in his heart had not completely dissipated, felt inexplicably cold when he heard Kuchiki Qingya's next words.

"Bai Zai, if you came to take me back and told me these words just because of guilt in your heart, then please take it back, I don't need it now. You have also seen that I am living a very good life now." Kuchiki Qing Ya smiled seemingly relieved, "So, Bai Zai can go back with peace of mind, I can take good care of myself."

Kuchiki Byakuya couldn't see what Kuchiki Qingya was thinking at this moment, just like many years ago, he couldn't guess what was going on in her heart when he looked at her gentle smile.It is clearly by your side, and you can touch it with just raising your hand, but there is a feeling that you can't hold it no matter how far you stretch out your hand.

The hand that was stretched out again was dodged, but it was still stretched out there stubbornly and never retracted.

"Bai Zai, go back. I will live better in the world without you."

As always, with a gentle smile, gentle but decisive words.

——Would you live better in a world without me?

The hand that was stubbornly stretched out in mid-air was raised, and it landed on the top of Kuchiki Qingya's head, and rubbed it.

"Take good care of yourself."

With a cold voice without a trace of extra emotion, Kuchiki Byakuya turned and left while clenching the hand that was still warm.

——If you think so, then, as you wish.

Watching Byakuya Kuchiki leave, until he couldn't feel the other party's Reiatsu, the perfect smile he had maintained cracked little by little until he was gone at all.

When Kuchiki Byakuya didn't come, she always hoped that he would come, but now that he came, she persuaded him to leave.Now the other party left as he wished, but it made her feel so uncomfortable.

Sitting on the floor with his back against the sofa, Kuchiki Qingya buried her head in her arms, the empty living room was so quiet that only the "tick" of the hands of the clock could be heard.

Only she knows which of what she said before is true and which is false.Time can take away many things, but it never took away her love for that person.

It would be great if she could come earlier, even if it was a few days earlier - even though she knew this idea was ridiculous, she still couldn't help thinking about it.

"If you want to cry, just cry."

Ah Tian suddenly appeared in the living room, looking at Kuanmu Qingya who was sitting motionless on the floor, but he didn't get any answer to his words, but he didn't even make a single movement.

"Ah Tian, ​​stay with Guoguang from now on."
