Black Basket - The World's No. 1 Idiot's Guide to Growing a Man

The fireworks are still blooming, the dazzling and colorful colors are in full bloom, and then fall again. There is only a moment of beauty, but it makes the tourists feel refreshed. It is not until the end of the fireworks display that everyone slowly disperses.

"It's almost one o'clock," Qihai first asked to go home: "Sorry, I can't accompany you, my mother has called me several times to urge me..."

"Alright, we've finished watching the fireworks, and it's almost time to end." Wei also took out his mobile phone and dialed the number: "I'll call a taxi, you guys wait."

Heizi watched Wei Ye walk aside to make a phone call, and then turned to Kise who was still in a daze: "Kise-kun, what happened?"

"Ah? Ah...No, nothing happened." Although Kise was denying it, from Heizi's point of view, Kise's emotions were really easy to distinguish, it was like writing 'I am' on his face with a black marker pen. Have something on your mind' same.

Heizi glanced at Yuiya who was on the phone not far away: "About Aoki-kun?"

"...No." Huang Lai responded in a low voice, and went into a daze again.

Kise's attitude was obvious, and he didn't want to talk about it.

Heizi and Qihai looked at each other, one turned his head, the other shrugged, they didn't ask any more questions, pretending they didn't see it.

The group went back in two taxis. Heizi said that he would take Qihai home, and Yuiya and Kise were naturally going the same way. The two sat in the back of the taxi, sitting shoulder to shoulder, but they didn't talk to each other at all. , and the driver, probably a little tired from driving late at night, did not speak. There was a lot of noise outside just now, but the silence after entering the car made Kise feel a little awkward.

The driver drove very steadily. After driving for a while, Wei also moved his body and leaned against the window with his eyes closed.

Kise peeked at it, thinking that Yui was probably tired.

After playing all night, Wei Ye didn't stay up all night, so it's only natural that he couldn't hold on.Kise thought.

But it's not good to fall asleep like this, you'll catch a cold.

Kise twisted her fingers, but didn't have the courage to cover Yuiya with the coat she had already taken off.

If Yui didn't fall asleep, and opened his eyes to reject his kindness... Kise just thought about it, and felt that he had better not act rashly...or he would definitely cry.

From the end of the fireworks show, Wei also didn't say a word to him, and cast a look... Occasionally, when he accidentally met his eyes, Wei also just nodded slightly.

If it was the normal Yuiya who looked at him... he would probably look elsewhere as if he didn't see it.

Kise once asked why he was more enthusiastic towards strangers. At that time, Yui also said that nodding to strangers is just polite.

...just being polite.

Ha...just for a while...became a stranger?Just for a while... wait—what is he thinking? !

Even if he is not a lover, Wei will never treat him as a stranger... No way!

But no matter how Kise comforted himself, the three words "stranger" still lingered in Kise's mind.

He couldn't help but secretly stared at Weiya's side face again.

Maybe it was because of the energy-saving lamps in the carriage, he always felt that Yuiya's complexion didn't look good, he was pale and looked a little sick, without any blood color, and with the black hair hanging down his cheeks, he looked weaker and weaker.

Huang Lai looked uncomfortable, and finally couldn't help but move closer to Wei Ye: "... Wei Ye?"

Not hearing Yuiya's answer, Kise heaved a sigh of relief for some reason, but when he wanted to cover the other party with his clothes, he was rejected.

"No need." Wei Ye's tone was alienated.

Huang Lai hesitated, and quickly withdrew his hand: "Wei Ye! I'm just afraid that you'll catch a cold—"

"I know," Wei Ye opened his eyes and looked out of the window, his eyes were so clear that he probably hadn't fallen asleep at all: "Thank you for your kindness, but there's no need."

...Sure enough, it was rejected.

Kise was about to cry, but she still suppressed her frustration and put her clothes back on her body. What she was thinking about was how to get Yuiya to look at him, or get angry at him... at least don't be so lukewarm It's hot...so worrying!

Kise was still thinking about how to strike up a conversation, when suddenly he heard Yuiya beside him whispering: "Snow."

Snow?

Huang Lai looked out of the window, only to realize that, at some point, the sky began to snow like goose feathers, flying all over the sky, occasionally falling on the window sill of the car, looking carefully, it looks like a dandelion, fluffy A small group of children together, very cute.

"It's snowing," Wei Ye was surprised by the snowflakes all over the sky, and said to himself, "It's actually a white Christmas this year."

Kise thought about it again, only to realize that white Christmas represents auspiciousness, and it means good luck for the next year.However, in recent years, it has gradually been regarded as one of the romantic factors by lovers, and has become dispensable.

"Everything will go smoothly next year," Kise couldn't help but whispered, "Everything will be fine."

"...I think so too." Wei Ye finally turned his head and glanced at Kise, his tone was flat and somewhat similar to that of Heizi: "...In the next year, everything will go smoothly for me."

As if trying to convince himself, Yuiya deliberately repeated Kise's words.It's a pity that this sentence clearly expresses the longing for the future, but there is no expectation in Wei Ye's tone.Rather than saying it is a blessing to oneself, it is better to say it is an exhortation to oneself.

I'm sure everything will be fine.

Everything will be fine.

Kise didn't notice that Weiya's tone was wrong, looked at Weiya in surprise, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

Yui also talked to him! ! !

Is Wei not angry with him anymore? ?

Or, Wei Ye was not angry just now, but was just a little tired, so he didn't speak?

Kise tried to say a few more words, Wei also perfunctory as usual, but Kise gradually calmed down.

Very good!

Kise thought happily.

Wei is not angry either!It's still the same!It's still a little cold...but that's okay.

It will be restored tomorrow.

Kise laughed foolishly for a while, then suddenly remembered that the Christmas present he had prepared hadn't been given to Yuiya.

"Yuiya!" Kise took out the wrapped box from his pocket: "...this is a Christmas present."

Wei also paused, then took it: "...can I open it now?"

"Of course!"

Wei also opened the box and found that what lay inside was a mobile phone.

The small and exquisite limited-edition brand phone, just by looking at it, you can tell that it is very precious.

"...Why did you send me this?" Wei Ye asked.

"The phone you are using now is too old... so I want to take this opportunity to send you a new one."

Weiye's original mobile phone was completely broken when the delinquent boy locked him in the toilet cubicle to shower him with water last time.I didn't have time to repair it, and I was too lazy to buy it, so I found an old mobile phone that I didn't need at home and used it reluctantly. There were many minor problems, but no major problems.He thought that Kise didn't notice that he changed his phone, after all, he didn't tell Kise about the water splash until now.

"I noticed when Yuiya's cell phone was replaced. I thought it was probably broken, so I kept saving money... After taking out all the wages I earned from working part-time for the past two months, it was enough." Kise felt embarrassed Scratching her cheek: "... Wei Ye... Do you like it?"

Wei also thought for a while, then returned the phone: "...Return it."

"Eh?!" The unexpected answer made Kise almost jump up.

"I can't accept such a valuable thing." Wei Ye put the mobile phone together with the gift box in front of Huang Lai, and said decisively: "If you can't return it, just keep it for yourself."

"But Yuiya, you never disliked the precious things I gave you before..."

"Didn't you find out?" Wei Ye rubbed his eyebrows: "...In the past two years, I haven't used the things you sent me."

"..." Kise shrugged his shoulders.

Found.

It is because of the discovery that I change the way of seeing you off every year. The more you send, the more precious you are, thinking that there will always be something you like...

Kise held the gift box, a little aggrieved.

It seemed that no matter what he did, he couldn't make Wei Ye happy.

Like giving gifts.Whether it's Christmas or Yuiya's birthday.Every year, Kise expects that Yuiya will be happy when he receives the gift. Similarly, every year, Kise is frustrated and cannot see Yuiya's happy expression after receiving the gift.

"I've put away the things you gave me in the past two years... I'll find a chance to return them to you next time." Wei Ye didn't notice Kise's grievance, and turned his gaze back to the heavy snow flying outside the window.

"...I don't want it," Huang Lai sniffed and said sadly, "I don't want it."

What does he want to do for the things he doesn't want.

Although he sent those gifts with the idea of ​​making Yuiya happy... But if Yuiya is not happy when receiving the gifts, then what else is there to do.

"Throw it away." Huang Lai said angrily, "Anyway, you don't like Wei Ye."

Wei Ye ignored Kise's childishness and opened the car window a crack.

The cold winter wind blew in with snowflakes, and after dispelling the gasoline smell in the compartment, Wei closed the windows again.

Unwilling to be ignored, Kise glanced at Yuiya, who took out his old mobile phone and was looking at the screen. The gentle look on his face made Kise feel very dazzling.

"...What are you looking at?" Kise couldn't help but asked.

"Qihai's information, she has been sent home by Heizi, and reported her safety."

"……Oh."

... Seven seas, seven seas, seven seas again!

Kise looked anxiously at the gift box in his hand.

...It was obviously unpacked, but it was returned in its entirety.
