After retirement I became a guardian of troubled youth

After the half-drunk and half-awake Hibari Kyouya forcibly hung up the calls from his four younger brothers, he began to dislike the smell on his body.

Hikaru Ueno watched nervously as he walked towards the bathroom, and followed him two steps behind.

Obviously not long ago, he looked drunk to the point of unconsciousness, but now he walks smoothly, without any trace of drunkenness.

Ueno Hikaru was lamenting Kyouya's powerful self-sobering ability, but then he saw the young man's figure flicker, staggering at the bathroom door.

Ueno Hikaru was startled, and quickly stepped forward to support him.

Hibari Kyouya held on to the door frame with one hand, with most of his body pressed against him, and turned his head to look at him in a daze.

Hikaru Ueno's hands were still around his waist, feeling the body temperature that seemed to be too high, he asked hesitantly, "Are you sure you can?"

He sent Gongmi to the bathroom in a half-slumped posture, and asked the person who was still a little dazed: "Do you need me to help you?"

After all, I also helped a certain child take a bath back then. If the house had not been demolished, those little yellow ducks would probably still be in the cabinet in the corner of the bathroom.

Although the age gap is a bit big, we are all the same species, and there shouldn't be much difference in form and method.

In Kyoya's current state, he was really worried about what accidents would happen to this person when he took a bath.

Hibari Kyouya stared at him for a while, said "No" coldly, then slapped his hand away, walked steadily into the bathroom by himself, and closed the door with a "snap".

The frosted glass quickly steamed with a layer of water mist, completely covering the appearance inside.

Hikaru Ueno stood at the door and looked at it for a while, then chuckled unconsciously.

If one ignores the bright colors around the pinnae of the ears before the door was closed, he might really be a little worried that he accidentally offended his grown-up brother.

After all, there are still some differences between when I was a child and when I grew up.

In the books that Ueno Hikaru read during this period, there are naturally many narratives that specifically focus on this difference.

For example, give grown-up children sufficient personal space, and don't interfere with their emotional state too much.

Of course, about the latter.

Hikaru Ueno has no such concerns at present.

These five younger brothers seem to have not yet reached the age where they have to talk about marriage.

He also doesn't want to be the kind of family member who is happy to urge marriage during the holidays.

As long as they can live a happy and stable life, nothing else matters.

But now, a certain younger brother may not be so "stable".

Ueno Hikaru glanced at the watch on the bedside again, and finally couldn't help knocking on the bathroom door to ask if there was any problem.

However, there was no reply.

The bathroom was quiet, except for the faint sound of running water.

Hikaru Ueno's hearing is far superior to that of normal people. Even through a layer of glass, he can hear even the slightest sound.

So he couldn't hear anything, and it seemed very wrong.

Hikaru Ueno frowned slightly, and after calling twice at the door without getting a response, he directly chose □□.

Hot water vapor filled the entire space, making it difficult for people who were stuffy to breathe.

The water in the bathtub overflowed and flowed down to the floor.

The young man lying in it didn't move, and slipped into the bathtub little by little, almost completely submerged in the water.

He was still hitting the outside of the bathtub with one hand, his fingers curled up, maintaining the gesture of holding something.

A limp, soaked towel lay on the edge of the sink.

Hikaru Ueno was stunned for a moment, his heart tightened, and he immediately stepped forward to fish the man out of the water.

Hibari Kyouya leaned obediently in his arms without moving at all, the water on his body kept flowing down, wet Ueno Hikari's clothes.

He was still wearing the evening dress that he hadn't returned in time, and it was wet and sticky to his body, making it even more uncomfortable.

But Hikaru Ueno doesn't have time to care about that right now.

Kneeling on one knee by the bathtub, he carefully looked at Hibari Kyouya who was motionless in his arms. He was relieved after confirming that the other party was just asleep, and stared at the young man's wet hair and eyelashes. After a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched the person's nose gently.

——Children who cause parents to worry unnecessarily should also be punished a little.

Hibari Kyouya hummed unconsciously, and rubbed back and forth in his arms, rubbing a wrinkle out of the wet evening dress.

This dress seems to be a gift from Gong Mi's unscrupulous boss.

It is said that the big boss brought a small sum of money from the treasury with tears in his eyes, and ordered a batch of clothes of different sizes with only differences in details.

Hikaru Ueno didn't understand.

Peng Gelie is such a big company with such a wide range of business that even Gongmi's company can only be regarded as a vassal. Don't they even have the money to buy these dozens of clothes?

So where did their money go?

Is it used for war?

Hikaru Ueno thought about it endlessly, while wiping Kyouya from head to toe, and finally wrapped it in a large bath towel and placed it in the middle of the double bed.

After growing up, Hibari Kyoya is very well-behaved after falling asleep. It seems that she no longer has the special function of "automatic sleep state warning" when she was a child. She has black hair, smooth eyebrows and eyes, and the lower half of her face is huddled in the soft white quilt. The whole person looks very well-behaved.

The hem of the evening dress was still dripping water. Hikaru Ueno looked down at the dress for a few times, changed them silently, and carried the clothes out of the room.

Gong Mi didn't want him to meet Pengo Li's big boss.

But he always has to apologize for ruining the clothes made by others with "huge sums of money" so painfully.

I borrowed a pen and paper from the front desk, sat down on a table and chair a little outside, stared at the neatly folded clothes for a while, and wrote slowly.

In the next second, a voice from behind stopped his movement.

There is a sense of distant familiarity in the gentle voice, which makes people feel a little nostalgic unconsciously.

He turned his head to the right in surprise, and met a pair of watery brown eyes.

The young man in formal attire bent slightly, lowered his head and looked at him, both surprised and happy, he hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Brother Guang?"

Hikaru Ueno stared at him for a moment, startled.

The mature and gentle man in front of him overlapped little by little with the face of a child in his memory.

"... Tsunaki?"

"It's me." Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, and sat down on the chair opposite him naturally, his eyes inadvertently skipped the wet clothes, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised, but it seemed that the whole person's temperament was more cordial softened.

Hikaru Ueno asked, "You work here too?"

He hadn't expected that the fate between Kyoya and Tsunayoshi could last for so long.

What is it called in the book.

"Childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart."

Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled and gave an ambiguous answer: "That's right."

Hikaru Ueno nodded, not caring about his ambiguity, and then asked: "Then what do you think... your boss?"

"Huh?" Tsunayoshi Sawada was stunned, "What's wrong with him?"

Hikaru Ueno: "...squeezing employees?"

Kokichi Sawada:"……?"

"...ignoring disharmony within the team?"

Kokichi Sawada:"……??"

"and also--"

"Okay, okay, don't say any more." Tsunayoshi Sawada covered his face in grief, took out a small note from his pocket, and handed it to him, "Actually... I am."

This time it was Hikaru Ueno's turn; "...?"

"However, I definitely don't have any malice towards Kyoya-san." Tsunayoshi Sawada smiled helplessly, "It was only because he was someone I could trust 100% at that time, and his personal ability was very strong, so I... relied on him so much. he."

Sawada Tsunayoshi held the cup in both hands, rubbed the side of the cup lightly, and continued to smile wryly: "I also know that brother Kyomi has worked very hard these years. Without him, Pengo Lie would definitely not be what he is now. look..."

Then, Sawada Tsunayoshi told Ueno Hikaru about the past years between him and Kyoya in great detail.

This time, the eye-catching cherry blossom tree was not included in his story.

Some are just two children who stumbled and grew up.

……

The younger brother with a discerning eye can find that after returning from Italy this time, Ueno Hikari's attitude towards Hibari Kyouya has changed greatly.

Three meals a day are ready for others to send over, get up early in the morning to send people out, and will wait in the living room no matter how late at night, to say welcome home to Gongmi.

Even Kuroba Kaito, who is the youngest, has never received such treatment.

When the elder brother changed from Duan Shui to an unconscious "double standard", the four younger brothers picked a sunny night and rarely got together.

Where there are double standards, there will be resistance.

Isn't it just relying on actual actions to sell miserably?

Among these people here, which one is weak in action?

With a serious expression on his face, Osamu Dazai pulled out a deck of playing cards from his pocket.

Kuroba Kaito: "?"

"It's up to you to decide the order of your actions." The young man smiled at Yan Yan, with a faint confidence in his eyes, "Leave it to fate~"

Kuroba Kaito hesitated for a moment, his index finger flitted across the cards, flicked one of the cards lightly, looked at him with a half-smile, and asked, "Are you sure?"
