"Are you addicted to flipping through windows?"

In the middle of the night, the silver-haired man in a black cloak skilfully rolled into the ward of the Fourth Division, and this was what greeted him.

The moonlight that came in through the open window was dimmed because of the man's entry. The girl on the bed woke up because of this, and she was very sleepy while talking.Because the wound was on his back, Aoki could only lie down aggrieved.

"Don't you think it's more romantic to turn over the window?" Ichimaru Gin quietly landed, raising a hand to cover the ward with an enchantment, "Just kidding, I can't spare time in the morning because of my busy work, and it's not too bad to swagger into the fourth team at night." suitable."

"Oh, you can joke." Aoki buried half of his face in the pillow, closed his eyes, and muffled his voice.

Ichimaru Gin folded his hands and looked at the girl with her back turned to the sky. The ward was warm, and Aoki was not covered with a quilt.The man suddenly reached out and lifted the hem of Aoki's clothes.For fear of strangling her, the belt was so loose that it almost seemed untied.

"What are you doing—" Sensing Ichimaru's movement, Aoki suddenly raised his body and turned his head, unfortunately, he pulled the wound, and his whole body trembled in pain.

Ichimaru Gin held the hem of Aoki's clothes with one hand, and hung the other hand awkwardly in the air. He didn't know the exact location of her wound, so he didn't dare to hold her down.Under the patient's clothes, the girl's entire back was wrapped in bandages, and the white cloth strips did not go into the waistband of her trousers.Aoki fell back on the bed, blood slowly oozing from the bandage.The blood traced the shape of the wound, a long and narrow strip, from the left shoulder down to the waist.

There are ingredients in the wound medicine to help sleep, and Aoki was completely awakened by the pain: "Have you seen enough?"

Ichimaru let go and put down the hem of his clothes: "It's quite serious."

"It's not serious, will I be in a coma for two days?" Aoki almost wanted to roll his eyes.

"Why don't you use a mirror?" Ichimaru Gin asked such a question without answering Aoki's mouth.

Before leaving the virtual circle, Aoki didn't dodge or evade, and forcibly took a blow from a certain one.

Aoki paused for a moment: "I don't want to always live in the mirror, I'm not sure I can pretend to be injured."

"Even if you don't have confidence in Aizen, you have to have some confidence in yourself. Little Aoki, you look like you were pretending to be dead in the worm's nest." Ichimaru Gin squatted beside the bed and looked at Aoki at the same level, "Are you trying to use self-harm? Erase the guilt? It’s too naive, Xiao Aoki, it’s impossible.”

Aoki met the man's gaze: "Ah, so you have done it before? You seem very experienced."

Ichimaru Gin simply lay face to face with Aoki on the edge of the bed: "Little Aoki has thorns all over his body today, no wonder Watanabe Takashi begged me to find a way to comfort you. He said that there is nothing right about you .”

"It's getting up." Aoki narrowed his eyes again, "Watanabe wouldn't say that."

"Hey, Xiao Aoki really knows Watanabe-kun, I'm jealous."

"You took the wrong medicine, right—how are they doing?" Finally, he couldn't help asking, and it was self-evident who they were.

Ichimaru Gin paused for a moment: "Watanabe could barely walk, and went back to the first team to practice. Kuchiki Byakuya couldn't get out of bed, so he tried to walk around, and was scolded by Captain Unohana. Of course, the worst thing is you, almost Split in two."

Aoki looked at Ichimaru, and Ichimaru raised his eyebrows to look back. At the end, the man asked: "You didn't show mercy when you attacked, right?"

"Not at all." Aoki replied.

Kuchiki and Watanabe's injuries must be severe, otherwise the play would not be able to continue. Aoki Qingtong hated the god of death, so it was impossible to act lightly.

"I only left them a sigh of relief." Aoki said calmly, "Tell me about the follow-up."

"Aizen led people to rescue you who lost consciousness, and at the same time dealt with the man pretending to be Tsuchimikado, and sent the rest to the fourth team, so that you will have one less person from the virtual circle back to Jinglingting, This person is Aoki Qingtong who sneaked into the team and returned to the Soul Realm, and escaped without anyone noticing."

"The members of the expedition team woke up and reported that Aoki Qingtong seemed to have the ability to control Xu. In this way, everyone thought that the artificial building in Xu circle was related to her. Now, the important thing is not to study that building, but to search Aoki from Soul Soul Realm. Of course, they can't find it."

Ichimaru silver shrugged: "I admit, this is a good way to confuse the public. But, Xiao Aoki, isn't there an easier way-kill all the expedition members."

"Byakuza Kuchiki is the grandson of the captain of the Sixth Division. He is the next head of the Kuchiki family, the head of the four great nobles. Takashi Watanabe is the person that the captain likes. If these two people have accidents at the same time, will Jing Lingting let it go? The future troubles Infinity. Gin Ichimaru, I don't believe you didn't think of that."

"What I thought of," Ichimaru Gin smiled, "Little Aoki, you are reluctant to kill them."

Aoki raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically: "In order to work for Aizen, would you kill Matsumoto Rangiku?"

In Ichimaru Gin's memory, this is the first time that Aoki explicitly mentioned Matsumoto Rangiku. The man couldn't help being taken aback, and then smiled wryly: "Oh, does Xiao Aoki want to quarrel to vent? I'm sorry, I can't bear to have a fight with Xiao Aoki. Noisy."

Aoki turned his head and didn't look at him: "Then go quickly, I don't want to see you." It's not that he doesn't want to quarrel with her, it's obviously that he doesn't want to drag Matsumoto Ranju into it.The girl admitted that she felt a little sour in her heart.

But she has no position to be jealous of Matsumoto.

The pain on her back was gradually swallowed by the medicine, Aoki was drowsy and sleepy again, she let down her vigilance, and suddenly felt that death was nothing, probably...it would be very easy.

Aoki admits that she is decadent, she is negative, please, forgive her, this is the first time she swung a knife at her own people, it feels really uncomfortable.

For the first time, she felt disgusted with herself for the first time, and for the first time, she found that she was not as easy to accept Aizen's worldview as she thought.

Aoki, who had relaxed his vigilance, could not feel the existence of Ichimaru Gin at all, and was half asleep and half awake.

Ichimaru silver did not leave.

"If you tell me to go, I'll go, it's too cheap." Ichimaru Gin curled the corners of his mouth, playing with Aoki's hair scattered on the pillow.

"Little Aoki, don't be like this, but Watanabe asked me to coax you back, and I agreed." With his hair down, Ichimaru stroked Aoki's head, and put his hands on Aoki's head gently.

"Don't be like this, little Aoki, once you become decadent, even I feel that I can't hold on anymore." Ichimaru Gin knew that no matter how much Aoki relaxed his vigilance, he would not fall asleep in this situation.

His words are his ambiguous and biggest showdown.

Sure enough, Aoki replied sullenly: "Then how are you going to cheer me up?"

"Well—" The man's shadow cast on the wall became shorter again, "How about a good dream?"

The silver-purple-haired man was lying on his side on the bed, one hand passed under Aoki's arm to support her and let her turn sideways, the man's lean and long arm looped around Aoki's back, supporting her other shoulder, On the premise of not touching Aoki's wound, he hugged her.

The man's actions can't be described as being gentle.

Aoki buried her head in Ichimaru's arms, her voice shook the man's chest, and she complained sullenly: "You're too thin, Ichimaru Gin, you're in a panic."

The man spread a smile that no one could see before: "Alara, then please make me some more meals for Xiao Aoki after he recovers from his injury."

The moonlight outside the window is cold, but indoors, the shadows merge into gentle arcs. In the dark night, they warm each other with their body temperature.
