Thirteen brothers urged me to get married

58.

late at night……

The bustling Tokyo gradually fell into a deep sleep, the neon lights were still flickering, but the bustling vehicles and pedestrians stopped a lot.

The residential area is quiet and silent, the moonlight shines through the curtains in the room, and the cold light creates a weird atmosphere.

On the bedside table, the small night light exudes a warm orange light, faint but warm.

It's just that not far from it, there seems to be something emitting a faint blue light, which is weaker than a night light and colder than moonlight.

Xuezhi fell asleep, unaware of the strangeness of the outside world, just like the Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale.

The stretched eyebrows and slightly upturned lips indicate that she is having a sweet dream.

The blue light at the head of the bed flickered slightly, and the already weak light became weaker and weaker.

The Sleeping Beauty on the bed frowned slightly, and the eyeballs under the eyelids rolled, as if she was about to wake up.

Finally, the faint blue light went out.

Sleeping Beauty also opened her eyes.

"It turned out to be a dream." Xuezhi thought in a daze.

In the dream, there seemed to be a large blue light surrounding...

"Surrounding...what?" Xuezhi couldn't remember, but only vaguely remembered that the light was beautiful.

Xuezhi finally woke up completely: "Ah, it's like this again, when I woke up, I forgot what dream I had."

It's like she had a dream that she cared about before, in which a voice seemed to say four words to her. She always felt that those four words were very important to her, but she couldn't remember them.

She looked at the notes, paper and pens on the bedside table, and felt that she had prepared for nothing.

I forgot everything before I picked up the notebook and wrote it down, isn't it just a waste of preparation.

"But, I still care about it." Xuezhi sighed softly, and picked up another item on the bedside table that caught her attention.

The one she saw in the utility room was given to her by someone who gave it to her.

The stone flakes inside the Amulet are very thin, with blunt edges, similar in size and thickness to the flower cards, but wider than the flower cards.

Its shape is not special, the only special thing is the pattern on it.

The pattern is the same color as the stone flakes, so it should not be painted later, but more like it was formed naturally at the same time as the stone flakes.

Xuezhi tilted the stone flakes, and under the night light, she could barely see the patterns of the patterns by relying on the shadows. Compared with the embroidered patterns on the guard, she confirmed that they were indeed the same.

"It's kind of like..." Xuezhi tried to describe this pattern.

"Like a drop of water falling on the surface of a calm lake, the ripples that spread out from that drop of water."

Xuezhi thought this way, then shook his head quickly: "No, the arcs around the middle circle on the stone slab are not connected."

Suddenly, her heart moved, she leaned over to pick up the remote control not far away, pressed a button on it, and the curtains slowly opened.

The room without the barrier was illuminated by moonlight.

The warm light of the night lamp was squeezed into the corner by the cold light of the moon, and shrank into a small ball beside the bedside table.

In the night sky, the stars are scattered, as beautiful as a picture scroll.

"The patterns on the stone flakes are like the night sky shot through super long exposure."

Xuezhi raised her hand, and the stone flake in her hand was embedded in the middle of the window, as if it was integrated with the night sky outside the window.

Gives a sense of eternal romance.

Such a feeling emerged in Xuezhi's heart.

-

When Xuezhi woke up again, it was not yet six o'clock in the morning.

The sun has not yet risen, and there is fog outside, and it is dark, it is the time of dawn.

"The weather doesn't look too good today." Xuezhi turned over under the quilt, lying on her side and looking out the window.

In fact, he couldn't see clearly, but what Xuezhi wanted to see was not the mist that filled the window.

Her gaze seemed to see a farther place beyond the fog.

"I seemed to have a dream last night."

"In the dream, there is a quiet lake, and there are dark clouds in the sky. A drop of rain falls, creating a ripple on the surface of the lake, which slowly spreads outward until it disappears."

"There is also a bright night sky. The stars scattered everywhere draw arcs in the sky, which is more beautiful than fireworks. But it is eternal and unchanging, unlike fireworks, which are fleeting."

Eyelids are getting heavier, Xuezhi thinks she may need to sleep again.

But at the moment when he was about to close his eyes, he saw something beside the empty pillow.

Xuezhi woke up suddenly, opened his eyes, and saw the guard next to the pillow and the stone piece pressed on it.

"Ah, so it wasn't a dream."

She finally remembered that it was not a dream, but she woke up from a dream yesterday, in the middle of the night with extremely active thoughts.Because of a series of associations generated by this omamori.

Xuezhi sat up from the bed, rubbing the surface of the stone flake with her hand, the pattern on it was like the dark pattern embroidered on the clothes, and only at a certain angle could one get a glimpse of it.

Perhaps someone should ask someone what the pattern above means.

Only then can she solve the mystery of the guard.

I always feel that there will be unexpected gains.

Xuezhi made up her mind, and soon thought of someone.

"I don't know if he's awake at this time. Maybe he hasn't slept yet?"

She picked up her phone and sent a message, and she received a reply soon after.

So she didn't delay any longer, put the stone back into the guard, got up and took a shower.

Before going out, Xuezhi picked up an exquisite gift box from the desk and placed it at the door of his second brother Youjing.Inside was a birthday present she had prepared early.

When I left the Pavilion of Dawn, the time of dawn had passed.The sun can be vaguely seen rising in the sky, and the sun dispels the dense fog. It turns out that today is a good day.

Yukimura Seiki's apartment is not very far from Kichijoji, and it takes about [-] minutes by car from Yukimura.

This was her first time at Yukimura Seiichi's house.

Yukimura Seichi was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, but Yukie didn't express his intention in a hurry.

It wasn't until after breakfast that Yukie took out the guard and put it in front of Yukimura Seiichitan.

"Have you ever seen the pattern on it? Or something like it?"

Yukimura Seiichi asked casually while observing the pattern of the guard, "Why do you want to ask me? The pattern on it looks like a magic circle, but I'm just a painter."

"Eh? Like a magic circle? I think it's more like an overexposed night sky." Xuezhi leaned over to take another look at the pattern.

She nodded her chin and thought: "If it is a magic circle, it should be more chaotic, right? There will be triangles interspersed in the middle, which seems to be called stars?"

"In the overexposed night sky, every arc is parallel, but look." Yukimura Seichi sent Mimori towards Yukie, "The inner and outer arcs are connected in the middle."

"Eh? I thought I didn't pay attention when it was embroidered." Yukie took Yukimura Seichi's hand and took out the stone piece from the ward.

"So there are stone flakes inside?" Seiichi Yukimura moved the finger holding Mimori.

Just now when Xuezhi was taking the stone flakes from inside, her fingers accidentally touched his.

Xuezhi looked at the stone flakes intently, not noticing the unexpected contact just now, nor the subtle movements of Yukimura Seiichi.

"Well, I found it suddenly in the utility room. I don't know when, and I don't know who gave it to me."

As Xuezhi said, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Really, it can be seen from the above that the two arcs inside and outside are indeed connected."

She brought the stone piece in front of Yukimura Seiichi: "Can you see it? There are dark lines on it."

Yukimura Seiichi stretched out his hand to cover the back of Yukie's hand, and easily wrapped her hand in his own.

He applied lightly, and after changing the angle, he saw the dark lines on the stone slab.

Xuezhi's fingertips stuck on both sides of the stone slab trembled slightly, but Yukimura Seiichi didn't seem to notice.

He held her hand firmly and focused on the thin flake of stone.In order to see the dark lines on it more clearly, he moved closer.

His breath gently brushed against her palm, and when she couldn't help but want to retract her hand, he let go of her hand first.

"There seems to be something else on the stone, just wait for me." Yukimura Seichi got up and left.

Xuezhi watched his back leave the living room, and slowly tightened the hand holding the stone.

"An accident?" she wondered uncertainly.

When Seiichi Yukimura returned to the living room, Yukie was fiddled with the omori and the stone flakes with his head down.

She heard the voice and looked back, and saw what he was holding in his hand at a glance.

"Magnifying glass?" Xuezhi was slightly surprised.

Of course he wasn't surprised that Seiichi Yukimura had a magnifying glass in his house.

It's just that I didn't expect to be so surprised before.

"Sure enough, it's because I didn't observe carefully, and I didn't find any other clues on the stone flake." Xuezhi reflected silently.

Yukimura Seiichi smiled and raised the magnifying glass in his hand to her: "This way I can see more clearly."

He picked up the flake of stone, adjusted the angle, and found a new discovery through the magnifying glass.

"Above these arcs on the pattern, there are some patterns, which seem to be some characters." Yukimura Seichi said with some uncertainty.

Xuezhi didn't expect such details, and asked him quickly, "What's written on it?"

Yukimura Seichi shook his head, and handed her the flake of stone and the magnifying glass: "I can't recognize it, it's a text I haven't seen before."

After reading it, Xuezhi also found that she didn't know the words on it at all: "It's strange, although I can't read it very clearly, but I feel that these words are completely disorganized, some are as complicated as pictographs, and some are as simple as English. letter."

Yukimura Seichi nodded in agreement: "Sure enough, it's more like a magic circle."

Xuezhi looked at him speechlessly: "Why are you having trouble with the magic circle? This is basically two different things from the magic circle, magic girl Yukimura-chan."

Yukimura Seiichi was not angry at being teased about the magical girl, and said with a smile, "It's just a metaphor. In short, this thing is likely to be a mysterious thing. You can find someone with supernatural powers to help you take a look."

"That's the only way to go." Xue Zhi lay on the armrest of the sofa, her whole body limp, unable to lift a bit, "It feels more and more troublesome."

Yukimura Seichi looked at her with concern: "What's wrong? Are you in any trouble?"

Xuezhi thought for a while, but still didn't tell Yukimura Seichi what she was investigating.

They didn't know each other four years ago, so this matter must have nothing to do with him.

Up to now, there is still a cloud of fog in front of her, and there is no need to bring in irrelevant people.

Xuezhi said in a nutshell: "It's not too much trouble. I'm just checking one thing. It's a bit complicated, but it's not dangerous."

"Should." She added silently in her heart.

Seeing that she didn't want to go into details, Yukimura Seiichi didn't ask, but just smiled and told her: "Okay, then you should be careful when you check."

"It's not safe to look at the mysterious side involved," he thought.
