Enchantment high degree favorability acquisition log

Xia Youjie seemed to have changed a lot.

His voice was low and mature, and it sounded a little different from before.

Time has passed so long, I have become an outdated old man.

Nanako called him teacher in front of him, did Xia Youjie, like Gojo Satoru, choose to stay in the college to teach?

——It's a bit of a surprise, but it's also good.

I lowered my head, staring at the floor tiles in front of me, my mind full of messy thoughts.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Xia Youjie patiently asked again.

"...No, no need, I'm fine." I still lowered my head, but I still endured the pain in my ankle and struggled to get up.

It should look awkward, but that's okay.

I wanted to look up at his current appearance, but I was too timid to feel close to home. After hesitating for a while, I decided to leave first.

At that time, a glance from a distance is enough.It is enough to know that you are all doing well.

——Now you are just strangers, and I have no position to bother you anymore.

I gritted my teeth, held back my tears, turned and walked out of the convenience store.

"Hey..." Nanako made a hesitant voice.

Moving on, I only blamed the high heels on my feet for limiting the speed, so I had to stumble.

I quickly left the convenience store, and seeing that I was about to step into the rain again, a hand suddenly grabbed my wrist.

"and many more."

I froze, not daring to look back.

Xia Youjie also seemed a little surprised that he made such a rude move.

"Feel sorry."

He apologized to me gently, but the strength in his hands did not relax at all.

"Can I see your face?"

It's really strange for another person to say this sentence, but Xia Youjie has the ability to take such words for granted.

"But I don't know you." I mumbled.

Xia Youjie was silent for a moment, then suddenly repeated: "Sorry."

Then I felt an irresistible force pass from my wrist.

Xia Youjie took my hand without refusal, and dragged me in front of him.

"Eh?"

I made a sound of panic.

Xia Youjie looked at me blankly.

The past is like water vapor, steaming here, and I can finally see what he looks like now.

It turns out that Xia Youjie has really changed a lot, the original greenness has all faded away, but his facial features have become more clear and meaningful, like a well-painted ink painting, with long hair half tied and half loose, wearing a high school uniform.

——He did stay in the college as a teacher.

I suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if I was being pricked by needles all over my body, and my sense of shame reached its peak.

"I, I'm leaving."

He wanted to shake off his hand, but Xia Youjie was only stunned for a moment and quickly recovered.

He held my wrist firmly, not letting me leave, then turned around and said to the two jk.

"The teacher has something to do, you go back first."

"Oh." Nanako nodded in a daze, couldn't help but look at me twice more, and finally dragged Mimiko away reluctantly.

"I really have to go." I was a little anxious.

Xia Youjie took the initiative to let go of my hand at this moment.

"I'm sorry." He smiled at me softly, the corners of his eyes curled up as if they were drawn with pen and ink.

"My students are too reckless, can you give me a chance to apologize for them?"

3 minutes later, I was sitting alone in the corner seating area of ​​the convenience store.

Holding a cup of warm black tea in his hand.

It was already early morning, and even the clerk was hiding in the warehouse to catch up on sleep. Xia Youjie didn't choose to wake him up, but paid the bill at the self-service checkout machine beside him.

"hand."

He unwrapped the iodine and cotton swabs, and held out his hand to me in a very natural tone.

I handed it over obediently.

He held my hand in the palm of his hand, and the movement of the other hand was light and quick. Without causing any discomfort, he put a Band-Aid on the wound on my palm that had been treated for me.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

I lowered my head and stared at the black tea in front of me: "Thank you, but I really have to go."

Xia Youjie didn't speak, he threw the used cotton swab into the trash can: "Change your shoes, I'll take you back."

"Huh? No need..."

"Do you need me to change it for you?"

I pursed my mouth, sat on a chair, bent over and changed my high heels into the slippers that Xia Youjie had just bought for me.

"Let's go."

Xia Youjie got up to take the umbrella.

—He didn't recognize me.

Yes, all memories related to me have long been erased.

I was thinking wildly while walking beside Xia Youjie.

The slippers under my feet were about ten times more comfortable than those stiletto strappy high heels, and even the swelling and pain in my ankles became weaker.

As if aware of my vague resistance, Xia Youjie just quietly helped me hold the umbrella the whole time, without saying a single unnecessary word.

I can no longer behave like a thousand miles away.

— After all, I actually miss him too.

Outside the umbrella is non-stop, the sound of pattering rain, but inside the umbrella is quiet and humid.

An umbrella divides the world into two halves.

In this case, other senses are suddenly magnified infinitely.

I didn't realize until this time that Xia Youjie actually wore perfume.

It is a faint sandalwood aroma, mixed with the light mint smoke on his body, reminiscent of a certain autumn and winter afternoon.

-Sandalwood with cedar notes.

The top note should be fresh and lively citrus, and the bottom note will calm down and become a steady woody fragrance.

In a trance, I recalled that I once bought Xia Youjie a perfume with the same tonality when he celebrated his birthday.

But at that time, Xia Youjie didn't have the habit of spraying perfume at all, and his clothes always smelled of lavender detergent, which had never changed for thousands of years. The birthday present back then could only be aggrieved and left in his room to shed ashes.

——Time is amazing, it can make a person who doesn't touch perfume at all change his habits.

Unlike the embarrassing and embarrassing scene I imagined, my mood along the way can even be described as peaceful.

It's useless even if you don't admit it, it's hard for me to raise my defenses against them.

When I passed a certain store, I couldn't help it, and pretended to inadvertently check the makeup on my face with the reflection of the glass.

——Better than I imagined, the makeup is basically flawless, but the tear mole that was dotted with eyeliner just now fainted a little because of the rain.

Uncomfortably, I wiped it vigorously with the back of my hand.

But because he couldn't see clearly enough, he couldn't wipe off the tear mole, and instead rubbed the fragile skin under his eyes painfully.

I don't believe in evil, I raised my hand again and wanted to try it.

Xia Youjie suddenly stopped him.

"Let me do it."

He held the umbrella in one hand, and gently pinched my chin with the other hand, and then used his thumb to help me wipe off the ink dot disguised as a mole.

Xia Youjie then withdrew his hand.

I am a little embarrassed: "Thank you."

"It's okay, you don't need this in the first place." His voice was smiling.

I blushed.

It's so strange, in my impression, Xia Youjie couldn't be so warm to someone he met for the first time.

Because it was only the first day of work, I didn't have the financial strength to move out alone, so I had to ask Xia Youjie to take me to the vicinity of the knotweed house.

Holding an umbrella, he seemed to want to say something to me, but he hesitated.

I didn't leave in a hurry. At this time, I felt a kind of calmness.

"Thank you for taking me home, goodbye." It's better to say thank you first.

After Xia Youjie sent me to a place out of the rain, he stopped.

"Goodbye."

He kept looking directly at my face, as if he wanted to remember my appearance carefully.

I looked at those agate-like purple eyes, and suddenly I was a little dazed.

At this moment, the door behind me suddenly opened.

"Deer... huh? Who is this?" Knotweed held an umbrella in his hand, and seemed to be planning to go out.

He looked at me, and then at Xia Youjie not far away.

My attention was instantly diverted: "Are you going out?"

"No, I was a little worried because you didn't come back so late, and planned to go out to find you. Who would have thought it would be such a coincidence." Polygonum cuspidatum answered me with a heartless smile.

"Hey, is that gentleman your friend?"

I looked at Xia Youjie who was standing there, his throat seemed to be blocked and became obscure.

"...Well, it doesn't count." After all, to the current Xia Youjie, I'm just a stranger I just met once, and if I say that I'm a friend, he might feel uncomfortable.

After hearing my words, Xia Youjie's temperament suddenly changed subtly. I vaguely noticed it, but I couldn't describe it.

"Ah, that's it."

Knotweed scratched his head blankly, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little chilly.
