[Death Doujin] Ink dyed white smoke

Three weeks after the large-scale false attack on Liuhun Street, the reconstruction work in the disaster area has gradually come to an end with the efforts of various Shinigami units.And with the passage of time, the world of corpses and souls is about to usher in the last cherry blossoms of this year.

Mo Ran Xianyi leaned lazily on the side of the colonnade, quietly watching the clumps of white camellias in the courtyard that finally bloomed before the end of spring, feeling a little dazed.

Soon after her injury improved, she asked someone to go through the procedures for leaving the hospital and return to her home to recuperate.Originally, he wanted to spend more time with his grandfather, but Moran Zongyilang was coaxed by some old friends to participate in an impromptu tourist activity on the way, accompanied by the housekeeper Suzuki.

Although the family members in the house take good care of Mo Ran Xianyi, after all, there is still a big gap between the two parties in terms of identity and age, so naturally they cannot get along without any barriers.Therefore, during these days of convalescence, except for the occasional friends who came to visit her, most of the time she could only stay alone in the courtyard and be bored in a daze.

Touching the pot of white camellia next to her with her fingertips, which has not yet planned to bloom, Moran Xianyi felt a little worried.

Camellia is not an easy variety to take care of. It took Moran Xianyi a lot of effort to successfully plant these clumps of white camellia in the courtyard.

"Hey... what's the matter with you?" Mo Ran Xianyi murmured to the white bud, "You are like this, how can I take you with me when the time comes..."

"Where are you going?"

Moran Xianyi thought seriously, but was temporarily stopped by a lukewarm question.With a slightly reclining body upright, Moran Xianyi showed a faint smile to the visitor.

"Good day, Vice Captain."

This is not the first time that Kuchiki Byakuya walked into Moran Xianyi's private courtyard, but every time he saw this piece of pure whiteness, he felt an indescribable sense of loss.

"Where do you want to go, Moran Four Seats?" Kuchiki Byakuya walked slowly to Moran Xianyi, and sat down on the side of the corridor naturally.

Mo Ran Xianyi smiled at him, not intending to hide it, "This subordinate wants to visit the present world."

Kuchiki Byakuya looked at her seriously when he heard the words, with disapproval in his eyes, "Haven't you given up on this idea?"

"Vice-captain, you understand. There are some things that subordinates can't let go of." Mo Ran Xianyi held back the smile on his face with a firm expression, "Grandpa also agreed to this matter."

"In what name are you going to get the approval of the superior?" It is not so easy to go to the present world through the world-transmitting gate.

Moran Xianyi staggered up and walked into the living room, came out with a document in his hand, and handed it to Kuchiki Byakuya, "Captain Ukitake is willing to reserve a spot for his subordinates."

Kuchiki Byakuya quickly browsed through the content, then raised his eyes to Moran Xianyi, disagreed with her thoughts, "I disagree."

"It's only been stationed in the present world for a few years, the vice-captain. The No. [-] team is still able to operate normally without a seat officer." Besides, it doesn't mean that he won't come back.

"Moran Sixi, have you forgotten the lesson from a few weeks ago?" Byakuya Kuchiki's tone seemed a little stiff.

Mo Ran Xianyi smiled slightly, and stroked the wound that had only fully healed not long ago with his right hand, "I remember, how could I forget?"

"In that case, you..."

"If the pain is still like this, then, no matter how many springs, summers, autumns and winters have passed, what should we do about the wound that still cannot heal?" Mo Ranxian looked at Kuchiki Byakuya firmly, "The subordinate is not afraid of parting, but the subordinate cannot Accept leaving without saying goodbye. Especially that person is such an important existence to me."

"Even if you come to this world, you might not be able to find her." Byakuya Kuchiki said coldly, "And you shouldn't take this risk."

Mo Ran Xianyi understands what the other party means, but the matter of belief has never been changed by himself, "The subordinates understand, just want to try to find an answer."

"So what if you find it?" Byakuya Kuchiki was somewhat disapproving.

"Subordinates... want to change." Moran Xianyi said softly, "If you just blindly get stuck in the past, it won't work, so you need an answer."

Hearing this, Kuchiki Byakuya frowned in a rare way, and after a little deliberation on what to say, he spoke, "Ink dyed the four seats, actually... you are doing pretty well as you are now."

Moran Xianyi narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said jokingly, "Are you praising your subordinates?"

"Yes."

Kuchiki Byakuya's straightforward response surprised Moran Xianyi.

"Surprised?" Looking sideways at Moran Xianyi, Kuchiki Byakuya asked calmly, and looked at Moran Xianyi and nodded hesitantly at him.

Sighing as if he hadn't heard it, Kuchiki Byakuya stood up, and slowly approached the camellia bushes in full bloom in the yard.

With his back facing Moran Kanyi, Kuchiki Byakuya bent slightly, and touched the soft petals of the camellia with his fingertips, "I understand your wish, let me think about it for a few more days."

"Thank you very much, Vice Captain." Mo Ran Xianyi breathed a sigh of relief.Regarding the matter of being stationed in the present world, she can only discuss it with Byakuya Kuchiki who knows the inside story.If she doesn't get his approval, she won't go there rashly.

Hearing the joy in Moran Xianyi's words, Kuchiki Byakuya just shook his head secretly, pretending to be admiring the flowers, and didn't intend to pour cold water on her again and again.

"Speaking of which, how did you come here, Vice Captain?" The wind in late spring was still a bit chilly, Mo Ran Xianyi clasped his robe tightly and looked at the back of his Vice Captain, asking curiously.

Turning slightly to one side, Kuchiki Byakuya asked back unhurriedly: "Moran Sixi, do you like flowers?"

Mo Ran Xianyi nodded, although he didn't understand what the other party wanted, he still answered honestly: "I like it."

"Then..." Byakuya Kuchiki paused for a while, and then said lightly, "Are you interested in viewing cherry blossoms?"

Moran Xianyi stared at him with wide eyes, looking a little unbelievable, "If my subordinates are not mistaken...if my subordinates are wrong, please correct me. Uh...well, is this an invitation? " Carefully confirm.

"You're not mistaken, this is indeed an invitation." Byakuya Kuchiki couldn't laugh or cry.

"When?" Moran Xianyi was still out of the situation.

"Now. Everyone is waiting in the dead wood house."

Mo Ran Xianyi immediately got up when he heard the words, and complained in his voice: "Vice Captain, you have learned badly." He even learned how to surprise her by surprise.

Kuchiki Byakuya raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not express any opinion on her statement.

Watching Moran Xianyi hurried back to the bedroom to make preparations for the door without saying a word, Kuchiki Byakuya walked slowly to the corridor, picked up the document of being stationed in the present world, and put it into the inner pocket of the outer robe.

It's not that he doesn't understand Moran Xianyi's mood, but he just let this woman go to this world alone...he is worried.

Since he promised his grandfather to protect her well, he had to do it.Isn't the incident three weeks ago a painful lesson for me?He will never allow it to happen again.

He no longer wants to see the obvious bravado of his fourth seat, and he hopes that her smile can come from the heart.

"Vice-captain, my subordinates are ready." Moran Xianyi changed into a pure white kimono embroidered with a camellia flower pattern with silver thread, and her long straight black hair was loosely tied up, making her look elegant and decent.

"Yeah." She didn't expect her to move so quickly. Although Kuchiki Byakuya was a little surprised, he still calmly took the pale pink robe held by the servant beside him and put it on Moran Xianyi.

It was just a simple polite gesture, but it made Mo Ran Xianyi's heart throb, and his cheeks were involuntarily stained with a blush.

It's just this rare style, Kuchiki Byakuya didn't intend to stop and admire, "Let's go, don't keep them waiting."

Mo Ran Xianyi lowered his head to cover up his flushed cheeks, and followed up obediently after a soft 'yes'.

On the way to the Deadwood mansion, the interaction between the two was not very lively, but the atmosphere was still very harmonious.

As Moran Xianyi was recovering from a serious injury, Kuchiki Byakuya deliberately slowed down so that she could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Watching cherry blossoms is Oikawa's idea, right?" Holding a finely crafted Japanese umbrella, Moran Kanyi asked casually, already [-]% certain in his heart.

"Yes."

Mo Ranxian smiled self-containedly, "A few days ago, when the group of non-stop guys came to visit the sick, they complained to their subordinates that the cherry blossoms in Seireitei withered early this year, and I'm afraid they won't have a chance to appreciate them."

"The Kasumi cherry blossoms in Kuchiki's mansion are the same as in previous years." Kuchiki Byakuya responded with a little pride.

"The last cherry blossoms of this year still choose to bloom in Kuchiki House." Mo Ran Xianyi frowned, "I will finally be able to see it with my own eyes later."

"Haven't you seen it?" Kuchiki Byakuya was a little surprised.

"No chance! I read the introduction on the Seireitei Communication." Using the shadow under the umbrella, Moran Kanyi subtly concealed the instantly stiff expression.

It's not that Kuchiki Byakuya didn't notice the subordinate's intentional movement of lowering the umbrella, but he knows that silence is better than sound at this time, and it's due courtesy not to ask why.

"Deputy Captain Kuchiki! Ink dyed four seats! Here, here!"

Mo Ran Xianyi pursed his lips and smiled, looking at the bouncing, noisy and unruly team members of the No. [-] team in front of the gate of the Kuchimu house. They turned their heads slightly, and what they saw was the serious expression of their own vice-captain.

Alas, someone is going to be in trouble!

Moran Xianyi raised the corners of his lips, handed the umbrella and robe to the servants of the Kuchiki family who were waiting on the side, and watched his subordinates being reprimanded coldly by Kuchiki Byakuya.

"Vice-captain, this subordinate wants to find a place to rest for a while, is that okay?" In the end, still unable to resist the subordinate's pitiful expression asking for help, Moran Kanyi softly interrupted Kuchiki Byakuya's re-education of etiquette to them.

Knowing that this was Moran Xianyi's method to divert his attention, Kuchiki Byakuya glanced at her expressionlessly, then waved his hands to let the subordinates who were facing the enemy leave.

"You dote on them too much." Byakuya Kuchiki refused to comment on Moran Kanyi's policy of educating his subordinates.

"After all, it's a rare event, and it doesn't hurt to let them make trouble for a while." Moran Xianyi smiled gently, and followed Kuchiki Byakuya slowly to the inner courtyard where the Kasumi cherry tree was.

As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, Moran Xianyi looked up and saw rows of rosy cherry trees with different postures. The pink sakura trees in full bloom on the branches swayed with the wind, and occasionally withered, they drifted away with the wind, rolling up the courtyard full of beauty.

Without waiting for the people around him to express, Moran Xianyi walked forward unconsciously, stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the Xia cherry tree closest to him.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in contact with cherry blossom trees so close…

Moran Xianyi was a little emotional.

She likes flowers, all kinds of flowers.

It's just that from the year she lost her parents, she no longer approached any cherry trees.For her, the season of cherry blossoms will only make her feel endless sadness.

Moran Xianyi once thought of 'hate', but probably in this life, while avoiding cherry blossoms, she still can only be attracted by them irresistibly?

"It's obviously a flower seed in early spring, but it blooms in late spring. It's called the last cherry blossom in the world of corpses and souls." Mo Ran Xianyi murmured, feeling the approach of the person behind him, "Hey, deputy captain."

"Ok?"

"Perhaps... maybe the subordinates can come to visit next year?"

Kuchiki Byakuya couldn't see Moran Xianyi's expression at the moment, but brushed the cherry petals from her hair in a natural manner.

"Yes." If it was this woman who really loves flowers, the garden would surely be much more colorful.

Hearing this, Mo Ran Xianyi turned around lightly, looked up at his vice-captain, and smiled happily, "Thank you, vice-captain."

She believes that after she completely overcomes the timidity caused by the past, she will be able to usher in growth.At that time, if there is still a chance, she must tell him the story about the cherry tree──

And about those likes.

As the initiator of the event, he had to stay behind to carry out the task. As a result, Oikawa Kage, who arrived at the Kuchiki mansion at the latest, stepped into the inner courtyard, and saw his boss and young lady smiling tenderly at the Kuchiki vice-captain. There is no shyness, just the so-called 'confirmed' expression that he has seen for many years.

"Hey, Oikawa! It's hard work staying behind." Aoki saw him standing alone in the corner thinking from a long distance, as his best partner in the sixth team, he naturally had to go forward to say hello.

Shrugging his shoulders, Ji Chuanjing laughed at himself helplessly: "I am born to work hard, and even if I draw a lot, I will win the lottery."

Seeing the bitter look on his friend's face, Aoki felt embarrassed to add insult to injury, "It's you, what are you doing here alone in a daze?"

Ji Chuanjing raised his jaw towards the place where Moran Xianyi was, "Research what conditions must be met so that we, Moran Sixi, can smile at us like flowers."

"Hahahaha, Oikawa, you really love to joke, and Moran's four seats are always smiling to everyone, so what conditions do you need?"

"I don't know if I should be envious of your thick lines, making the world so simple." Oikawa smiled and waved his hands, "Okay! I've been busy all morning, and I want to be arty once in a while. Let's have a drink under the cherry tree, Enjoy the view?"

Walking slowly with Aoki to the gathering place of the companions, Oikawa mirror did not forget to pay attention to the relationship between Moran Kanyi and Kuchiki Byakuya.

As a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Moran Xianyi all the way, Ji Chuanjing has always seen clearly.

The little sister he has been protecting and guarding since he was a child has gradually grown up, and how could he not know her little thoughts that are easy to understand?

Therefore, even if he knew Moran Xianyi's ambivalence towards Sakura, he still had to try to beat the side drum, and only hoped that Moran Xianyi could live happily under his umbrella.

Whatever she likes, he will try his best to get it for her.

It has nothing to do with Fengyue, he is just protecting her and please her as an elder brother.

"Captain Kuchiki, the rosy cherry blossoms in your mansion really bloom more beautifully than the cherry trees anywhere else!" Just like the young master that woman determined to believe, he was noble and unique.

Oikawa Kagami toasted towards Kuchiki Byakuya, shouted cheerfully, and was not surprised to get a cold stare from his vice-captain.

It's just that what he cared about was never Kuchiki Byakuya, but the woman who always looked at all this calmly and smiled at him gently at this moment.

"Yes, Xianyi thinks so too."

Moran Xianyi's gentle voice drifted into Ji Chuanjing's ears, with a smile in his voice.Even people who are not very familiar with her can hear her happy mood.

This is enough.

Oi Chuanjing looked up at the pink cherry blossoms in full bloom, closed his eyes and felt the faint fragrance blowing in the breeze.

Moran Xianyi once asked him, what is happiness?

In fact, his happiness is very simple, that is to let his eldest daughter and his precious little sister get the happiness she wants.

It is his responsibility to let Mo Ran Xianyi maintain a consistent smile.

In other words, when Mo Ran Xianyi led him out of the abyss he thought he had, she became the only truth in his life.

Moran Xianyi is the sweet load in He Chuanjing's growth process──

And he loved it.
