It was already the next morning when Aoki woke up, Shimaru was leaning against the wall wrapped in a black cloak, his back was hunched and his head was lowered, lifeless.

At this time, Aoki has no major problems, there are only a few handfuls of Reiatsu scurrying around in his body, which is within Aoki's tolerance.She crawled out of the quilt and almost reached out to feel Ichimaru's breath.

The movement of Aoki woke up Ichimaru, the boy raised his head slightly, and the pale face of the girl was in his sight: "You seem to be fine." He said in a low voice sickly, "It's the most annoying thing for two patients to touch each other. gone."

Aoki untied the cloak that was wrapped around Ichimaru's body, and wrapped herself in it. She knew that the reason why Ichimaru put on the cloak was because he had no energy left to control the Reiatsu.Although nothing could be seen on the black cloak, it felt wet to the touch.

Ichimaru silver's injury was aggravated because of himself.

This realization made the girl bewildered.She took out the bandage from 28's purse by feeling in her hands.

Why do you want to be nice to me?Why should you care about me?

Aoki didn't understand.

Just like she couldn't explain why she cared about Ichimaru Gin.

"Your tone is so arrogant." Aoki said.

"It's rare to act coquettishly to little Aoki." This time, Changichi Maruyin slumped on Aoki's body weakly, "Be gentle, it hurts."

"I'm already very light." Aoki said anxiously, taking a deep breath, she slowed down her tone, "Be patient, there's nothing I can do."

Ichimaru hummed obediently, with a soft tone, really acting like a baby.

After a while, he said, "Oh, it feels so good to be cared about."

Those warm cares are like hugging each other for warmth in winter nights, and the unbearable hardships imposed on the body are forcefully ignored.It seems that with religious extreme nobility and purity, white flowers bloom in the dark.

He laughed, and added in an unpleasant way: "Isn't that right, Xiao Qingmu?"

Aoki was busy making movements with his hands, but did not answer.

Ichimaru Gin picked it up by himself: "Acquiesced? Shy?"

After wrapping up the bandage, Aoki threw a few basic treatments he knew on Ichimaru and said ghostly: "Ichimaru sick, why are you in such good spirits?"

"Because my spirit transcends my body—I lied to you. Because Xiao Aoki is here."

Aoki withdrew from the cloak and wrapped it up for Ichimaru: "Are you hungry?"

"Sleepy."

"Then go to sleep."

"Can't walk, Xiao Aoki hug me?"

"Back, carry, hold, choose one. Or roll on the ground."

Ichimaru sighed, "I'll do it myself."

Aoki glanced at him, and supported Ichimaru's sides from behind like a toddler: "That's it."

Antonichimaru fell asleep, and Aoki replaced the mirror door with his own.The boy in the bed turned over and adjusted to a comfortable sleeping position: "Byakuza Kuchiki came here yesterday."

"Huh? Then?"

"Standing stupidly downstairs in the dormitory for a while, I went back without doing anything." Ichimaru said, "If you're worried, won't you ask a girl to take a look?"

"If he does that, we will be in trouble." Since the teacher asked her to rest, Aoki simply slacked off, sitting cross-legged by the window and flipping through books.

If we had to put a positive definition on her behavior, we could say she was guarding Ichimaru.

"That's right." Ichimaru responded dispensably, and then fell silent.

Aoki glanced at the young man who fell into sleep quickly, and then looked at the book he was flipping through in his hand - "Selected Works of Healing Ghost Dao".

Well, let's be an experiment, Ichimaru Gin.With your injury, it couldn't have been worse.

The pain lingered on his body like a gangrene relentlessly. Ichimaru Gin slept very restlessly, mentally exhausted, but his body prevented him from taking a good rest.Finally fell asleep, and was dragged out of the dream by the pain again, drowsy, ups and downs, half-dream and half-awake, always seemed to be able to see a faint glow green light covering his body.

Treat ghosts?The color seems to be quite advanced.

Who would waste Reiatsu on himself like this?

In fact, I already have the answer in my heart, but my confused thinking can't give the name.

The body responded faithfully, and the pain gradually weakened.

By the time Ichimaru Gin fully woke up, the time had passed from early morning to evening.

Aoki Qingtong lay sideways beside him, curled up into a ball as if feeling cold.It was midsummer, but sleeping in a shady dormitory without a quilt would catch a cold.

It was midsummer, and the extra quilts were put away.

Ichimaru Gin curled the corners of his mouth, and sometimes the two patients were not so annoying when they touched each other.

The boy lifted the quilt and covered Aoki as well.

The girl who felt cold in her sleep subconsciously leaned towards the hot place, and finally stuck to Ichimaru's chest.

The torn wound no longer felt much pain when touched, Shimaru Gin put his arms around the girl, and whispered: "Thank you." He knew she couldn't hear.

He was very curious about what expression Aoki would have when he woke up and found himself in his arms—probably, it was expressionless shock again.

Sleeping until midnight, Aoki's Reiatsu suddenly became disordered.Ichimaru Gin was awakened, and then Aoki also woke up. The girl woke up and saw Ichimaru's face close at hand, without any discomfort, and said a word: "There may be something wrong with Kuchiki Byakuya's Hajime."

Ichimaru: "...Aoki-chan? Are you awake?"

Aoki Qingtong sat up, not aware of the ambiguous posture between himself and Ichimaru: "I had a dream a few days ago, dreaming that 28 was gone. After waking up, you appeared and told me that 28 returned to his world. And Now, I dream that Byakuya Kuchiki is swallowed by a piece of pink-white light, and when I think about it in reality, I can only begin to solve the problem."

Ichimaru Gin didn't get up, but put his hands on his head: "When you first arrived at the virtual circle, 28 was already ready to leave, so he asked me to hand over the Zanpakuto. He was afraid that you would not be there when he left. Wake up." The boy denied the connection between the girl's dream and reality with such words.

Aoki's attention was drawn away: "Then why didn't he leave?"

"Maybe I want to see you again."

They won't stop for each other, which doesn't mean they don't have reluctance in their hearts.

Ichimaru quietly waited for Aoki to come back to his senses: "When it comes to 28, there is one more thing, don't take off the piece of jade he gave you."

Aoki covered her heart subconsciously, the jade given to her by 28 has been worn next to her body, and it has long been soaked by her body temperature: "I know."

At this moment when there was nothing to say, a violent Reiatsu came from afar.

Aoki suddenly turned his head in the direction where the Reiatsu was coming from, and Ichimaru raised his eyebrows to look at Aoki: "Byakuya Kuchiki... the Reiatsu went berserk?"

"Little Aoki, when did you have the ability to predict?" The boy raised his eyebrows, his face darkened, "Go, don't let others get there first."

Aoki paused before answering: "With my current spiritual pressure, I can't suppress him."

"Then take off your mask, Kuchiki Byakuya has already seen Hajime in the mirror." Ichimaru sat up.

"But the newly admitted students have never seen it before, so they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

"Ten thousand, I have no choice but in case I can still help you." Ichimaru Gin lightly pushed Aoki down, "Go quickly."
