Youth long companion

After the farewell, Bai Niaoquan bid farewell to everyone in the Hai Clan with a lot of thank-you gifts, and returned to the shore, first going to the mountain of Yuzhi.

I heard from Seto Zhihui that Yuori was staying to take care of her yesterday, but Tenjin suddenly had something to do and called her back.

Thinking of this, Bai Niaoquan quickened his pace and flew up the mountain, only to see Yuzhi walking out of the mountain on the way.

"Koizumi, why are you back? Aren't you still in good health?"

After speaking, he stopped and walked back with Bai Niaoquan, pulling her to sit down in the room and chat.

"It's almost ready." Bai Niaoquan didn't refuse Yuzhi's concern, and sat down as she wanted, "I'm here to tell you that I'm going back to school."

"Why don't you take a break? Why are you in such a hurry to go back to school?"

Seeing that Bai Niaoquan's face was still a little pale, Yuzhi couldn't help but persuade him.

"I have important things to do tomorrow." Izumi Shiratori said with a smile, but she also knew that if she wanted to extend her vacation by one day, she just had to make a phone call to report that she was safe and then ask for leave. Akashi, who knew the situation, would not refuse .

Just thinking of the agreement with Akashi, she didn't want to break her promise.

Yuzhi didn't know much about the human world, and a lot of news came from Bai Niaoquan. Seeing her say this, she hesitated for a while, and stopped persuading her.

"In that case, wait a moment, I have something for you."

Thinking of this, Yuzhi took out a box from the house, handed it to Bai Niaoquan, and said, "These things are for you."

Bai Niaoquan took it, opened it for a look, and saw that there were many rare medicinal materials and cultivation resources on the top layer, and was a little surprised.

"These...I can't ask for it."

Saying that, the hand holding the box handed the thing back.

These things are not only usable by her, they are very precious to any special ability user, even if they are not suitable for her, they can be exchanged with others.

And in this case, there will be more involvement between them.

Yuzhi stopped Bai Niaoquan from moving, shook her head, looked at her as if she had seen through everything, and said, "These are all prepared for you."

Bai Niaoquan pursed his lips, always feeling that when we meet again this time, something seems to have changed.

Yuzhi's attitude towards her is not the same as when they reunited, as if nothing has changed from two years ago, and the eyes that look at her seem to know everything.

Bai Niaoquan tightened his hand holding the box, struggled for a while, hesitated, and said: "We..."

"I already know, two years ago."

Yuzhi suddenly spoke, interrupted Bai Niaoquan's words, and said calmly.

Bai Niaoquan froze for a moment, and met Shang Yuzhi's eyes in surprise.

"My lord has already told me."

Yuzhi continued.

Two years is just a short span of time for her, but it is two years that cannot be ignored for human beings. Koizumi's appearance has changed a lot from two years ago.

When she first found out about this, she was surprised by Koizumi's real situation, angry at the arbitrary arrangements of the gods, and hated Koizumi for giving up so easily.After calming down, she also knew that the gods did this to protect her, and finally realized how much she had taken for granted two years ago.

I take it for granted that Koizumi’s lifespan is the same as those with special abilities, I take it for granted that Koizumi will want to be with me as much as I want to be with her forever, I think Koizumi will choose her in the human world and the world beside her, and even He took it for granted and went to the gods to ask how human beings can be angels. He made the same mistake as the gods and arranged Koizumi's future life arbitrarily.

Although there was no time to tell Koizumi about all this, what he did was to arrange everything.

Now that she knew everything and Koizumi's choice, she thought about it for a long, long time.

She respects Koizumi's choice.

It's just that it ended like this, that she didn't contact her like this, and was forgotten. She was not reconciled, so...

"Although our lives have not been equal in length, I hope we will remain friends while you are here."

"I……"

Bai Niaoquan has some concerns, the gods...

"It doesn't matter if we can't see each other often, I want to be friends with you, is that okay?"

Bai Niaoquan's heart tightened, and his eyes were slightly sour.

Various emotions roiled in his heart, and finally, Bai Niaoquan blinked, and said in a low hoarse voice: "It's an honor."

"This is an agreement!"

Yuzhi showed a faint smile.

"Well, it's an agreement."

Bai Niaoquan nodded firmly.

Holding the box, Bai Niaoquan bid farewell to Yuzhi with a happy smile and returned to school.

It's already afternoon, and the basketball team probably hasn't started training yet.

Looking at the school gate, which she hadn't seen for two days, she suddenly had the illusion that she hadn't seen him for a long time.

Opening the basketball club studio, Bai Niaoquan didn't know how much preparations had been made for the practice games of the basketball club in the past two days, so he simply took out the idle books in his schoolbag and read them.

But she overestimated her own energy too much, after watching for a while, her eyelids became heavy, and she threw herself on the table and fell asleep.

Vaguely, she seemed to smell a particularly pleasant fragrance, which made people intoxicated, and unconsciously fell into a deeper sleep.

This sleep was very dark, and when I woke up again, it was already dark.

"Hmm~" Bai Niaoquan rubbed his eyes in a daze, and sat up straight, but felt something slipped from his body, subconsciously grabbed it, picked it up, and found that it was a large school uniform jacket.

Before he had time to realize who it belonged to, he heard a very familiar voice from beside him.

"woke up?"

"Akashi?" Shiratori Izumi shook his head, feeling a little more awake, looked over there, and saw Akashi playing chess quietly by himself. "what time is it?"

"It's ten o'clock." Akashi said, "Why don't you rest at home if you're tired?"

Bai Niaoquan scratched his head, smiled silently, and did not answer. His smooth black hair was already messed up by sleeping, but now it was even messed up by her.

Akashi didn't hear the answer. He looked back at Shiratori Izumi, and saw a few funny red marks on that pretty face. His eyes fell on it for a few seconds before moving away. He said, "Since you're awake, I'll take you back."

"Is the work done?" Seeing the darkness outside, Bai Niaoquan didn't expect that he would sleep until ten o'clock in the evening after such a sleep.

"Yeah." Akashi nodded, and walked out the door first, "Let's go!"

Seeing this, Shiratori Izumi followed Akashi and got into the car of Akashi's family.

But how did the driver come in such a timely manner?

This thought flashed through my mind, only to be interrupted by the sound of the car door closing.

The car started, and only Shiratori Izumi and Akashi were left in the back seat. The slight shaking of the car was like a baby's cradle, which made people relax unconsciously, and the drowsiness struck again.

Akashi was looking out of the window quietly, when he suddenly felt his arm sinking, his head was about to lean against his arm, and there was a tendency to slide down.

He tilted his head for a glance, felt the steady breath coming from his arm, and stood still for a while, then moved his arm slightly, shifted his position, and pulled out his arm supporting Bai Niaoquan's head, letting the pillow rest on the bed. On his lap, so that the other party can sleep more comfortably.

But soon Akashi felt that he had done a wrong thing. The other party had slept more deeply, and even adjusted his position unconsciously to make himself sleep more comfortably, but the result was that the warm temperature penetrated through the thin film. His clothes were stained with skin, and his steady breathing was always blowing to his legs like the wind, itching, making the whole leg feel very wrong, even his heart felt wrong.

After a while, Akashi felt short of breath, sweat dripped from his forehead, and he pulled his tie to feel better, but after a while, he felt that the temperature inside the car was too high, so he subconsciously opened the window, but the next moment Seconds caught a glimpse of Bai Niaoquan's figure from the corner of his eyes, and immediately closed the window again.

Time became hesitant at this moment, it seemed to be extremely fast, and it seemed to be extremely slow.

In such hesitation, I arrived at Shiratori Izumi's house.

"Master." The driver in the front seat reminded in a low voice.

Akashi immediately returned to his normal expression, and pushed Shiratori Izumi's shoulder expressionlessly, his voice was extremely calm, "Izumi, wake up."

"Huh?" Bai Niaoquan felt someone calling him in a daze.

"Wake up!" Akashi pushed again.

This time, Bai Niaoquan really heard it, opened his eyes, and finally woke up after a few seconds.Out of the corner of his eyes, he accidentally saw Akashi who was looking at him expressionlessly from above. He was startled and got up immediately.

Seeing the scene in front of me and the information flooding in, my heart was so excited that it was about to jump out, my body was stiff, and I started to apologize subconsciously, "Ah, Akashi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry."

But I didn't expect that the more she apologized, the darker Akashi's face became, with different-colored eyes, he coldly stabbed Shiratori Izumi, "Get out of the car."

Seeing Akashi's face look so bad, Shiratori Izumi's heart skipped a beat.

Oops, I'm so angry!

Because I pillowed his leg just now?

After much deliberation, this was the only reason, and Bai Niaoquan apologized again as he opened the car door and got out of the car.

What was exchanged was the scene of the car door slamming, ruthlessly closing, and driving away quickly.

After that day, the practice match was easily won, but Akashi's attitude towards her was particularly indifferent. Shiratori Izumi felt that it was because of what happened that day that Akashi was offended, especially guilty, so he followed Akashi's intentions, but he didn't expect her to be more like this , Akashi looked more angry, which made Shiratori Izumi especially puzzled, thinking over and over what he did wrong.

Akashi looked at Shiratori Izumi's face that didn't understand anything, the corners of his mouth were pursed straight, the expression on his face looked very cold and hard, his whole body was heavy and depressed, causing everyone in the basketball team to tremble completely Don't dare to be presumptuous, and make Akashi angry.

Mibuchi glanced at the abnormal Akashi, then at Shiratori Izumi's guilty face, walked quietly to Shiratori Izumi, and asked in a low voice, "Koizumi, did you quarrel with Xiaozheng?"

"It's not a quarrel." Bai Niaoquan was also a little distressed, "I did something wrong and made him angry. But I have already apologized. I don't know why he still doesn't seem to calm down?"

In fact, Akashi is really seldom angry, as long as he doesn't step on his bottom line, Akashi is very gentle, whether it is the previous Akashi or the current Akashi.

Murasakihara, who stepped on his bottom line last time, is still afraid of Akashi, and dare not fight Akashi at all.

But... that guy Murasakihara, if he hadn't detonated the bomb, Akashi wouldn't be what he is now.

Bai Niaoquan thought of the scene in the first two days again, and he became angry when he thought of that guy. Although he knew that the guy had a childish personality, innocent and simple, but because he had a childish personality and didn't understand so much, the words he said were just right. Makes people even more angry.

"What did you do wrong?" Mibuchi looked at Shiratori Izumi with some surprise, with Shiratori Izumi's behavior, he couldn't think of what Shiratori Izumi did wrong that made Akashi so angry.

Bai Niaoquan woke up from those unhappy memories in an instant, and when he heard Mibuchi's words, his face was a little reddish, and he was very ashamed.

In fact, she felt a little ecstatic about what happened that day, this was the first time she and Akashi were so close, so intimate.It's a pity that she fell asleep completely, and when she woke up, she was flustered by Akashi's displeased expression, and her mind was filled with the expression of the other party looking at her coldly, which instantly extinguished the little joy , for fear of being seen by the other party and loathing her even more.It's not like she is so comfortable at work, but when she meets Akashi, she will always be timid and hesitant to move forward.

This uncontrollable feeling is really scary sometimes. She doesn't like it, but she can't control it. As time goes by, it becomes more and more unstoppable.

If it was the former Akashi, she might have mustered up the courage to confess, even if she was rejected, she stopped thinking, cut off her own thoughts simply and neatly, and it would be good to get out as soon as possible.But the current Akashi made her unable to see his intentions in that way at all, and made her afraid that once she really confessed, she might be rejected in the next second.

Shiratori Izumi looked hesitant, she didn't want too many people to know that she liked Akashi, after Miwa Kimura found out last time, she restrained herself a lot.If he told Shibuchi what happened yesterday, with his keen mind, it would be too difficult to hide his thoughts.

Shibuchi is a considerate person, seeing Bai Niaoquan's hesitant look, he didn't ask any more questions, but speculated according to their personalities: "Since I feel that I did something wrong, I apologized, but I haven't been forgiven yet. That means you may be apologizing in the wrong direction."

"The direction of the apology?" Bai Niaoquan frowned and began to recall yesterday's scene.

Why is she apologizing?

It was when she woke up that day that she found Akashi looking at her coldly, expressionless, and after that she found herself pillowed on Akashi's lap.

She had never been so intimate with Akashi, and when she saw Akashi's cold expression, she subconsciously thought that Akashi was unhappy with this matter, so she quickly apologized, hoping that Akashi would not think that she did it on purpose.

But after she apologized, Akashi seemed even more angry.

Bai Niaoquan was contemplating here, Shibuchi couldn't wait for Bai Niaoquan to recover and delay his training, so he went back to the field to continue training.

Here, Bai Niaoquanzai recalled it carefully, and finally found the focus of the matter.

She may have misunderstood, Akashi's cold expression was probably not displeasure, but because he didn't know how to show it?

On weekdays, Akashi always looks at ease, making her almost subconsciously think that Akashi is omnipotent, but she forgot that Akashi seldom gets along with girls. Based on her understanding over the past three years, the relationship between Akashi and girls Most of the models are those who work together like her and Momoi, and the private ones are at most being confessed and given gifts, but they are all rejected by him. It is very likely that he has never experienced the scene like yesterday.

And her subconscious apology made people feel that Akashi was extremely stingy, especially since she, who had been with him for several years, subconsciously thought that Akashi was such a stingy person.

So the possible reason for Akashi's anger could be because of this?

Bai Niaoquan guessed.

But now I have apologized several times, which made Akashi even more angry. If I apologized because of my guess, what should I do if I made a mistake?

Bai Niaoquan hesitated.

Just dawdling like this, trying to restrain my mind and focus on basketball training.

But it was still because of concentration that the efficiency dropped a lot. Fortunately, there was Kimura's help, so things didn't delay.

In the evening, Bai Niaoquan deliberately dawdled for a while, and stopped in the basketball club meeting room with the materials in his hand, and knocked on the door with hesitation.

"Come in." Akashi's voice was calm and cold.

Shiratori Izumi squeezed his fists nervously, opened the door and went in, and saw Akashi dealing with the basketball club at a glance.

"Akashi, here are today's materials." Shiratori Izumi handed the things to Akashi, sneaked a glance at Akashi's expression, and saw that he was still expressionless, and felt even more disturbed.

Akashi took the things, put them aside, and continued to deal with things, without even looking at Shiratori Izumi during the process.

Bai Niaoquan couldn't help opening his mouth, but he lacked courage, all words were locked in his throat.

It was probably Shiratori Izumi who stood there straight and motionless, interfering with his sight. After a long time, Akashi was the first to speak, "Is there anything else?"

The tone is cold, not as polite as treating other people at all.

"Akashi, do you have time this weekend?" When Shiratori Izumi saw Akashi's eyes look over, his heart tightened and he immediately went all out to ask.

Akashi was taken aback for a moment, he thought Shiratori Izumi came to apologize again, every time he saw him before, he always had that guilty and annoyed expression, as if it was a wrong thing to sleep on his leg that day, and he regretted it very much.

what does that mean?

Regret contacting him?

So regretful as if it had never happened?

Either way it made him feel bad.

So no matter how much Bai Niaoquan apologized, it would only make him angry.

Seeing Akashi looking at her unexpectedly, Shiratori Izumi moved his fingers beside him, and said, "It was the time I wanted to invite you to play at the bottom of the sea last time. I already found a good place."

Do you still want to go now?

After Shiratori Izumi finished speaking, he stared at Akashi steadfastly, trying to see the emotion in the other person's eyes.

But Akashi was very successful under the elite education of the family, and he hid his emotions perfectly. He just lowered his eyes, stared at the information in front of him, and nodded for a long time.

However, his long silence caused countless thoughts to flash through Bai Niaoquan's mind. On the one hand, he persuaded himself not to think too much, but on the other hand, he couldn't help thinking too much.

Why was Akashi silent for so long?

Are you unwilling?

Is it because I promised earlier that it is hard to go back on it now?

……

She doesn't like this pessimistic mood, but she can't control it.

Sometimes I really want to have a kind of magic, so that I can know what Akashi is thinking.

After that, Shiratori Izumi suddenly found that the air-conditioning around Akashi had disappeared, and there was no longer the cold, depressing feeling that the entire basketball team was cautious.

This made Shibu even deliberately ran over and whispered in Bai Niaoquan's ear, "Are you reconciled with Xiaozheng?"

Shiratori Izumi shook his head, but he clearly felt that his relationship with Akashi had returned to what it was before.

Seeing Shiratori Izumi's dazed appearance, Mibuchi was also a little dazed, and then he could only guess that Akashi himself calmed down.

Soon the day came to the appointed weekend, Shiratori Izumi changed into a beautiful long dress early in the morning, his long black hair hung loose on his body, curled up slightly, with a calm breath, and then Makoto Okada One drove off and arrived at Akashi's house.

Akashi is always the most punctual person, Shiratori Izumi didn't wait long, and saw Akashi's figure, probably because he thought he was going to swim in the water, Akashi was rarely seen wearing a slim casual outfit, the whole person was tall and relaxed , completely attracted Bai Niaoquan's attention.

After getting in the car, Shiratori Izumi asked Makoto Okada to drive to the designated location.

"Here." Shiratori Izumi handed Akashi a Huhuguo, and took one himself, like eating fruit, and swallowed it in two mouthfuls.

Akashi stared at this fruit-like thing, it seemed strange that such a fruit-like thing could allow ordinary people to move freely underwater, but he ate it like Shiratori Izumi after a while.

Shiratori Izumi couldn't help but be moved by Akashi's trust, stretched out his hand, and said to Akashi, "Let's go!"

Akashi looked at Shirato Izumi and then at the hand stretched out in front of him, held it, and followed Shirato Izumi step by step into the sea.

If it weren't for the obfuscation technique performed by Bai Niaoquan on the two of them, people who saw this scene would have thought it was a scene of a pair of desperate mandarin ducks about to commit suicide, and immediately called the police.

It feels strange to gradually watch myself sinking into the bottom of the sea. Even if I know that I will be fine and can breathe freely, but my body and my own perception of the world make Akashi unable to help but take a deep breath, hold his breath, and just It's like diving into the sea.

Feeling the increased force from his hands, Shiratori Izumi felt a little strange, and subconsciously looked back at Akashi, and saw Akashi holding his breath in the sea, which made Shiratoriquan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The sound spread through the sea water and clearly entered Akashi's sea, and Akashi finally realized that Shiratori Izumi can indeed breathe and move freely on the bottom of the sea, otherwise he would have been choked by the water with such a laugh.

But Akashi was still a little nervous, seeing Shiratori Izumi smiling like that, couldn't help but increase the strength in his hand, and squeezed the hand he was holding.

"You can breathe, try it, it's fun." Bai Niaoquan didn't want to be too funny, moved his fingers, and gestured.

Akashi trusted Shiratori Izumi very much. Hearing what Shiratori Izumi said, he took a tentative breath, and suddenly the cold sea water entered his mouth along his nasal cavity. The feeling subconsciously made Akashi think of suffocation, and he had to spit out with the same reflex. Go, but was choked, suddenly coughed, and his face became a little pale.

"Are you okay?" Shiratori Izumi was startled, and when he saw this, he quickly stepped forward and patted Akashi on the back, only to see Akashi lower his head and touch his nose.

In fact, after choking and coughing twice, Akashi was surprised to find that the feeling of suffocation did not appear in his imagination, but he breathed as freely as he did on land. It was just because the temperature of the sea water was low that he was a little uncomfortable for a while, but soon this happened. The discomfort is also gone.He seemed to be born on the bottom of the sea, free and easy to breathe.

"I'm fine." Akashi waved his hand, and subconsciously touched the throat where the voice came from.

After going through the initial fear of water, Akashi played better and relaxed than Shiratori Izumi, who was the first to enter the state. After a while, he slid his hands and feet, and swam gracefully like a mermaid to the coral area on the bottom of the sea. Observed from a distance.

The sun shines on the ocean over there, and all kinds of corals show brilliant and colorful colors, which makes people unable to take their eyes off them.

Bai Niaoquan smiled and followed the other party, and was not in a hurry to urge him to the place he had set. He just stopped him and handed the other party a necklace with a round bead strung on it.

"This is for you." Bai Niaoquan said.

"What's this? Pearl?" Akashi's expression, which always looked a little indifferent, showed obvious curiosity for the first time.

Bai Niaoquan shook his head, "No, this is an alternative protective barrier. As you know, not all seas are safe, and there are many poisonous things."

As early as when preparing to go into the sea, Bai Niaoquan prepared this, in case it was those poisonous snakes and poisonous fish in the sea.Those may not be very useful to her, but it is fatal to Akashi, an ordinary person.

Akashi also reacted instantly, and put it on his neck, but just after putting it on, he swam for a while, because the necklace was too long, it was about to float out.

"Wait, let me adjust the length for you." Shiratori Izumi hurriedly swam behind Akashi, grabbed the chain of the necklace, a halo of light appeared in his hand, and the seamless chain shortened by a short amount of time. Circle, now the necklace can't be taken off by hand.

"All right."

Hearing the sound from behind, she swam for a while, turned around and saw Bai Niaoquan floating in the water, with a necklace like his hanging around her neck.Previously, she thought it was the ring and necklace she always wore around her neck, and didn't pay attention to it, but now she found that beads were floating out of the necklace, not a ring.

Shiratori Izumi found that Akashi stared at his neck for a long time, then touched his neck subconsciously, only touched a necklace, and there was nothing strange about it.

"what happened?"

"Where's the ring around your neck?" Akashi asked.

"Here." Bai Niaoquan pulled up his short sleeves, pointed to the armband on his arm covered by the fluttering sleeve, and explained: "It can be changed in size at will."

Akashi was a little unexpected, but also expected, looked at the very delicate armband, and took a long time before looking away.

"Are you going to the deep sea?" Shiratori Izumi asked seeing that Akashi hadn't turned back to look at the coral group.

"The original location was the deep sea?" Akashi asked.

"En." Shiratori Izumi nodded, seeing that Akashi had no objection, he stretched out his hand again.

This time Akashi hesitated, not understanding why Shiratori Izumi seemed so persistent in holding hands today.

Shiratori Izumi saw Akashi staring at his outstretched hand, but didn't hold it all the time. He seemed to understand Akashi's doubts in an instant, and said, "The deep sea is far away from here. I need to use some special methods."

Although the words were not very clear, Akashi understood, and put his hand on Shiratori Izumi's.

Shiratori Izumi pulled Akashi and went downstream, the speed was really fast, except for the two of them, it was almost impossible to see everything swimming around him.The scenery outside the window, like a high-speed racing car, stopped soon. It was probably specially selected by Shiratori Spring. In the dark part of the deep sea, the surroundings also radiated light, until the bottom of the sea gradually revealed a warm light.

The huge castle, the protective cover exuding warm light, all kinds of marine life and humanoid sea people swimming around in the protective cover, everything looks so dreamy, but it also faintly exudes a huge oppressive force, especially It was when they swam close to those sea tribes and saw how huge those sea tribes were.
