Being led by the boy all the way, he walked slowly on the spiral staircase.The injuries on his body were heavier than he imagined, and every movement involved nerves.Ze Li walked more and more slowly, breathing more and more heavily.After walking a dozen steps, the boy stopped and looked back at her.

"I'm fine, this little injury doesn't bother me." Having known each other for so long, she knew what he wanted to say without him saying it. Zeli insisted on speaking before the boy spoke, and she knew it was bravado, but, she I hope that in the youth's impression of her, she will always be the proud and majestic Zesang, who can despise him as a good-for-nothing and at the same time help him when he encounters difficulties.

Being able to stand by his side when the enemy strikes, though. . .Later, it seemed that he was helping her all the time.

The boy scratched his hair with his empty right hand, and smiled a little silly. "No... Zesang, um, I haven't seen you for a long time, I want to hug you, okay?" The boy blinked, his eyes were full of slyness, and he pretended to laugh like her tone just now, "This A little injury is okay."

"..."

== Ze Li looked at him silently with this expression, the young man smiled, seeing her silent, he assumed she acquiesced, blinked happily, and carefully stretched out his wristband.

There was an unidentifiable faint scent, which instantly covered the bloody smell that had settled in the dungeon for a long time.He knew that she had many injuries, so he didn't hug her hard, but just stretched his arms around her weakly.

If only you were not that grown-up who was always by my side.

Zeli reached out and grabbed the front of the young man's shirt, she lowered her head and couldn't help thinking.Tsunayoshi, if only the two of us had been in our intertwined lives since I met you.There is no Vongola X, no Takeshi Yamamoto, no Kyoko Uekawa, there is no so much helplessness and righteousness, if we are still in my house, dealing with everything from the outside in a panic, only each other, now Everything will be different.

I wouldn't be like this now.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the feeling of being carefully protected by An An was so clear, as if nothing bad would happen again as he said.

A boy's gentle voice came from above his head.

"Zesang, can I kiss you?"

"But now I and Yamamoto..."

"Just the forehead."

How can it be refused?Ze Li closed his eyes and stopped talking, feeling the temperature in front of him leave slightly, and then a cold, trembling kiss fell on his forehead.The young man hugged her lightly, his body trembling slightly, as if he was trying to restrain himself, finally he couldn't hold back and pulled her into his arms, Ze Li felt a burning sensation in his ears.

What kind of emotion can make this shiny boy so sad.

She clearly heard his voice sounding from her ears, with a little grievance, and a heavy, heavy determination.

"You're mine until you get out of here."

Zeli couldn't open his mouth to refuse him.

She saw the blood on her body rub against him, and there were spots of blood on the white shirt.

The boy looked up at the long spiral staircase for a moment, then bent down and hugged her straight across.Ze Li was thinking about something and didn't notice it, so he made a very embarrassing sound, which caused the young man to chuckle.

"Gangji, I can go by myself..."

"Hey, let me hug you one more time."

Although he didn't say anything, the sadness surrounding him was so strong that Zeli couldn't open his mouth.She nestled in his arms and looked at his soft side face, pursed her thin lips, and stopped talking.Ze Li didn't know what else she could say at this time, so she stretched out her bruised arms to wrap around the boy's neck in silence.The dim light came down, and there was no sound around, as if the end of the world would soon come, and both he and she would die here.

Why are you so sad.Because of me.Gang Ji, when will I no longer be your happiness.Zeli leaned over his shoulders, his eyes fell on the long stairs they passed behind, and he spoke in a muffled voice.

"Gunji, I'm heavy."

"Well, and it's heavier than before."

"Hey! I know I'm fat! But at this time, I usually say that nothing will sink, or that I can hold it even if I am a little fatter..."

"Well. No matter how fat you are, I can still hug you." The boy finally smiled, and slowly spoke above her head, his voice echoing in the empty stairwell, word by word, like a kind of promise to someone .

As long as you are willing to look back at me.

Climbing from the third basement floor to the dance hall on the first basement floor, there are singing and dancing inside. Crowds of young and old men and women are dancing on the dance floor. There is a four or five-year-old girl crying. The boy next to him looks like he is not much older. Coax her softly.I probably thought there would be a war, so hurry up and revel in the last bit of time.The young man stood at the open door of the ballroom, glanced blankly and then looked away, but found that Zeli was staring straight at the lively crowd inside, as if in a daze.

"Zesang, if you like it, let's play after the injury is healed."

"I like it very much, but I don't want to come here again. You see they bullied me like this." She lowered her head and retracted into the boy's arms, and said aggrievedly, which made the boy laugh.

"Then I won't come." The young man paused, and Ze Li felt as if he lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her hair. "Don't worry, nothing will happen to hurt you in the future."

"You are—Pongorie X!" Xu Shi was so conspicuous at the door that someone recognized him.An old man in his fifties walked over anxiously on crutches, with gray hair.He came over and was startled when he saw the woman covered in blood. The two came up from downstairs again. He quickly understood everything.The old man stopped half a meter away from the two of them, and looked at the young man with eager and desperate eyes. "Honorable Tenth, I am Caesar's father. Maybe you forgot, when you first came to Italy a few years ago, I had the honor to meet you at a banquet. Oh, you are still so young, it is nothing like that..."

The old man fell silent. He saw the coldness in the eyes of this handsome man in front of him.

People who have lived for more than 50 years are always better at judging the situation than ordinary people. In Palermo, which is known as a gentleman, the old man bowed his knees humbly to the young man, "Your Majesty, the old man knows that the mistakes my son made cannot be tolerated." Forgive me, the old man is willing to accept the punishment together with the nine members of the family, and ask King Pengelie X to forgive the sins of other members of the family."

The music stopped abruptly, and everyone on the dance floor stopped. The people in fancy clothes looked at this young man who was like the proud son of heaven and remained silent.

Someone pushed through the crowd and came over, it was a young and handsome young man, he knelt down behind the old man.

"As the son of the chef, I am willing to suffer together, and ask Pengel X to forgive the sins of other people in the family."

The lady in a gorgeous dress also came over, and she lifted her skirt and knelt beside the young man.

"As the wife of the head of internal affairs, I am willing to suffer together, and ask Pengele X to forgive the sins of other people in the family."

The crowd became commotion, and soon, many young and old men and women knelt down one by one.Kneeling in front of the young Tsunayoshi Sawada.

"—We are willing to suffer together, and ask Pengele X to forgive the sins of other people in the family."

The young man was expressionless, but his slightly trembling hands made Zeli understand that his heart was far less calm than his appearance.

She was equally shocked.Ze Li clearly remembered the faces of these people. These were the people she would kill in the future.

She remembered that in the evening, blood was flying, some people were shouting, some were crying, and some were roaring.

The little girl who had just wiped her tears ran over, and the four or five-year-old girl had just reached the boy's waist.She boldly grabbed the corner of the boy's clothes, tears were still shining in her big eyes.

"The leader uncle is a very good person. He never speaks loudly to me. He never gets angry when I sneak to him to get candy. Brother, I beg you to forgive him. Uncle just did something wrong for a while. Brother, can you talk to him Talk it out, maybe he didn't mean to do it."

The young man held Ze Li firmly in his arms, and silently glanced at the hundred people kneeling in front of him. After a long time, he spoke slowly.

"Sorry, I can't make any promises to you."

"Gangji." Ze Li stretched out his hand and tugged at the boy, making him turn to look at her, with obvious sadness in his eyes.She worded it carefully, "Maybe you can go and talk to King Pengele X."

"Is Zesang pitying them? You just said that they bullied you like this." The young man was sullen and didn't smile, but seeing her soften immediately, he smiled and hugged her His arms tightened unconsciously, but he turned his head and looked elsewhere. "I don't know what I think ten years later, and I don't understand how he feels about losing Uegawa Kyoko. But my words... I don't want to forgive anyone who has hurt you."

The young man ignored the person kneeling on the ground, hugged her, turned around and went up the stairs without looking back. After walking a dozen or so steps, he saw Ze Li's head bowed and silent, so he spoke slowly.

"Comparing your heart to your heart, if Zesang saw me killed by them, would you still want to forgive them?"

The scene she saw on the top floor of Mirufiore flashed before her eyes. Zeli's arm around the boy's neck stiffened suddenly. Regardless of the pain, she subconsciously pressed her body against the boy, wanting to get closer. Get closer, so close that she couldn't get any closer, and she pressed her fingertips so hard that they almost dug into the boy's skin, which was only wearing a thin layer of shirt.

I once watched you die before my own eyes.

"I'm going to send them all to hell."

It got colder as you went up, and when there were only a dozen steps away from the first floor, Zeli heard the sound of someone crying erupting from below.

She said nothing more.

Pushing open the door of the castle, both of them were stunned.

It actually snowed.

The snow was falling profusely all over the sky, and large flakes of condensed snow could be seen in the field of vision, perhaps it had been falling for a long time, and the ground had already accumulated about a knuckle thick.

It is the first snow of this winter in Palermo.

Zeli couldn't help but feel joyful in his heart, as if he could forget so many troubles in an instant, "Gangji, let me down, I want to go out by myself."

The boy had a gentle smile on his face, but he pursed his lips and pretended to reject her seriously. "No, you have to listen to me before you leave this gate."

Ze Li felt a little depressed, and raised his hand to pinch the boy's fair and tender cheek. "Hmph. Gangji, you're pretending to be serious."

The young man frowned slightly in pain, but smiled with a good temper. "Just enough to make you obedient."

The world is very still.

There was no sound, no shadow, and no wind.Snow fell quietly all over the world. The young man held Zeli in his arms and walked towards the gate step by step. The whole world seemed to be just the two of them.

Ze Li'an nestled in the boy's arms safely, as if whenever she met him, she would enjoy his kindness to her with peace of mind.She chatted with the young man casually, and listened to the creaking sound of the young man's leather shoes on the ground in relief.

"Gangji, why did you come, I have nothing to give you."

"I don't want anything. I just know I have to get you back."

After hesitating for a moment, she thought about it and chose a sensitive topic that both of them had to face.

"Tsunayoshi, I was the one who killed Kyoko Uekawa."

"It's her who thinks she's smart first."

"But she might not have died if it wasn't for me."

"Zesang, you are so stupid. I understand why you did this. In fact, you succeeded in hurting King Vengley X, but you are also in pain."

You know again. . .

Zeli twitched his lips, and looked at the gate a hundred meters away. There were many people outside the gate, people in various clothes, many mafias, including Vengley and Stuart.The distance was very far, but she still recognized Takeshi Yamamoto and Tsunayoshi Sawada who belonged to this era at a glance.

Those two figures have been deeply embedded in my mind.

"Gangji, have you ever thought about what would happen if I became a stubborn, stubborn woman who couldn't even recognize you when you were not by my side?"

"I'm just always very worried that something will happen to you. You can't cook, I'm afraid you'll burn yourself, you can't drink and always want to go to the bar, I'm afraid you will be abducted by bad guys, and you will easily run away with a man I don't know I'm afraid you'll get into a fight and get hurt..."

"...Aren't you worried that I will be with someone else?"

"Worried, very worried." The young man sighed helplessly, "But when I saw you, I came here and saw you, and I felt that as long as you feel happy, you think that what you have is the happiness you want. It doesn't matter if I can stay by your side in that name."

It's very close to the gate.There were still more than [-] meters to go, and the wind and snow were so heavy that it was almost blinding, but Zeli could clearly see Takeshi Yamamoto with an anxious face outside the European-style iron gate.He was wearing a windbreaker, a hat, and a scarf she had chosen for him around his neck. His body was as straight as a silhouette.

Zeli smiled and asked the last question.

"Gangji, what do you think is the worst ending between us?"

"...I didn't think about it."

Approaching a little bit, and about ten meters away from the gate, Zeli tugged on the young man's collar, motioning him to let her down.

"Are you sure you want to go by yourself? You don't have shoes on."

"Well, it's okay. I want to step on the snow, and I feel like I haven't seen snow in a long time."

Nothing can bring the feeling of winter more than snow. As soon as Ze Li's feet landed, he immediately felt the blood clots falling down, mixed with the blood from the wound that was too deep to reach the scab. The bright red color quickly soaked a small piece around it.

As soon as he took a step, he staggered, and his legs had no strength.The young man quickly put his arms around her waist, his long hair fell from his ears, and Zeli's expression was completely hidden under his hair.

Zeli was hugged by the young man by the waist, facing down and staring at the snow several tens of centimeters away with her eyes wide open. She saw the blood dripping from her forehead into the white snow. A transparent liquid fell down the tip of the nose.Seeing that she wanted to laugh, she stretched out her hand and wiped her face indiscriminately, and Ze Li straightened up.

"I can, Tsunade."

The boy let go of her hand when she stood up straight.Looking at her with no expression, she was stubborn, persistent, and staggered forward step by step.There was blood all over the place.

Takeshi Yamamoto stood just outside the iron gate, watching her struggle with a complicated expression, behind him were hundreds of mafia.

Ze Li pushed open the iron door tremblingly, using almost all his strength.Takeshi Yamamoto was standing two steps away in front of him, Zeli withdrew his hand on the iron gate, raised his face and looked at him.

She didn't wear shoes, but she was only covered by a thin long dress, which was obviously not hers, and the bottom was so long that it almost covered her knees.She suffered a lot of injuries, dark spots seeped on the long clothes, and blood dripped down her bare, exposed calves. She walked a few short steps, and there was blood in every footprint.

She looked up at him, there was no joy, no excitement, no grievance, no resentment in her eyes.

Takeshi Yamamoto felt distressed. He looked at the girl in front of him that he had liked for a long time, and looked at her eyes as clear as sea water, but he couldn't see the bottom.

"It hurts, why are you so pitiful. Don't run around alone in the future, be good."

He took two steps forward, took off his windbreaker and wrapped it tightly around her body, fastened his belt, and then he was a little at a loss... standing in front of Ze Li.

"Do you still remember when I asked you, if one day, you would stand against Tsunayoshi Sawada for me?"

She looked up at him, just saying that, but she didn't mean to blame at all, there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth.At that time, Wu, you said that this kind of thing would never happen, but once it happened, the crack would be deep in the bone.

"Ali. I'm sorry." Takeshi Yamamoto raised his hand to caress Zeli's blood-stained cheek, but his hand paused in the air for a moment, seeing that she didn't dodge.

Gently stroked it up, and then the wrist was grabbed by a small blood-stained hand.

"What is this ring?" Zeli raised her eyes to look at him, or rather her gaze was fixed on his face and never left.Takeshi Yamamoto smiled, but he was inexplicably serious and bitter.

"It's a wedding ring. I'm getting engaged. . . . to a girl from the Boernes family."

So what are we now?

Then what am I?

Zeli held Takeshi Yamamoto's right wrist, and couldn't help rubbing her fingers against the inside of his wrist. She took a breath, but didn't know what expression to put on other than a smile.

"Awu, I want to love you well."

She thought it might be the first time in her life that she spoke in such a low voice.

Although she doesn't like it very much, she cherishes this relationship very much. She believes in her like that, and she believes that he will not make her sad, make her cry, or leave her.

Takeshi Yamamoto gently pulled his hand out of her hand, looking at her with a complicated smile.

"Ali, I, Ganga and Kyoko are middle school classmates. We grew up together and spent the best time of our youth. Kyoko is dead, and Ganga is like this now. I can't blame you for anything, but... "

Zeli smiled, but said nothing.

She saw Takeshi Yamamoto's mouth opening and closing. After knowing him for so many years, she understood what he wanted to say, just like whenever there was a boy by her side, she felt that she didn't have to be afraid of anything.

"Let's break up, Ali."

I have always shrugged off other people's concerns, proudly straightened my back and turned around.

Even when I left crying with tears streaming down my face, I never let the person behind me see it.

Never bothered to cry hysterically.

——Ali, if you feel scared and sad, just do things according to your own ideas.It doesn't matter whether you are escaping, going your own way, or any kind of willful impulse.If I am here, nothing that makes you cry will never happen again.

"Who said that I will always be by my side, who said that nothing will happen to make me cry again?"

— stay with me.I beg you.stop crying.I will give you whatever you want.I'll make you a princess, Ali.

"Who said you should take good care of me and hold me up like a princess?"

——Ali, I bought a small house in Paris. It is laid out according to the idea you told me a few years ago. You will definitely like it.

——You once said that you wanted to go to Kanhai in Kanagawa. Now that I have time, you can go whenever you want.

——Ali, no matter what, as long as you want to do it, you can do it boldly.I'm watching you from behind.If you can’t do it, just tell me back and I’ll help you.

"Who said he would help me do all the things I want to do, travel the world with me, and fulfill all my dreams?"

——Awu, you won't leave me, will you?

—Well, I'm not leaving.

Vision gradually blurred, Ze Li covered his mouth in the heavy snow, stood up stiffly, and tried his best not to look so humble.

"Awu, where are you going to leave me?"

She remembered that on the shore of Venice, that person resolutely confronted Tsunayoshi Sawada, blue flames burst out of his body angrily, and he said, Gang, I don't mean anything.I just want to protect the girl I like.

Ah Wu, why do you have the heart to leave me alone through this winter?

The author has something to say: I have worked so hard to write. .You don't want to bully me QAQ

My heart was broken when I wrote this chapter, 27 is such a young man.

When I wrote the last few lines, I couldn't help thinking about the past.It was midsummer when I broke up with him, and that day, on Qixi Festival, I was curled up under the blanket but felt cold.
