[Death Doujin] Ink dyed white smoke

After finally surviving the recuperation period, Moran Xianyi was finally able to return to work.

For three consecutive months immersed in the same busy life as usual, Moran Xianyi is actually very comfortable.Rather than staying at home and doing nothing, it is more suitable for her to devote herself wholeheartedly to work.

"Please help me deliver these documents to the deputy captain. It is urgent. Please ask the deputy captain to make a decision today and report to the captain." Mo Ranxianyi carefully watched the documents as he handed the documents to the subordinate who was standing by.

"Yes."

Just about to continue the work at hand, Moran Xianyi raised his eyes and saw his subordinates looking at her hesitantly, as if he had no intention of leaving immediately.

"What's the matter, Aoki?" Moran Xianyi smiled gently, waiting for the subordinate's answer.

Aoki looked anxious, and his tone seemed a little flustered: "Mo Ran four seats, you and the vice-captain..."

"Stop." Hearing the key words, Moran Xianyi interrupted his subordinates without even thinking about it, "It's nothing."

"But the deputy team..."

"Stop." Moran Xianyi rubbed his sore brows, and said a little tiredly, "I don't know what others said, but most of them are unfounded things."

Sometimes, Mo Ran Xianyi is not very happy that the celebrities in Seiling Court have no privacy. Although the center of the scandal has never been her low-key behavior, she has never thought about the deadlock with her vice-captain this time. will be rendered so enlarged.

Seeing that Aoki was still standing there and looking at him worriedly, Mo Ran Xianyi smiled back: "It's just a small matter, and I never thought it would become such a big trouble. Don't bother the vice-captain with this matter, this time It is indeed my fault, before I come to the door to apologize, I would like to ask you to hold your hands high, lest the vice-captain be disturbed by you and refuse to forgive me."

"Yes..." Aoki nodded hesitantly, and took another deep look at his four seats before leaving the official room.The relationship between the fourth seat Moran and the vice-captain is obviously good, but now there are rumors that there is a quarrel and the fourth seat Moran is about to transfer teams?

Right now, everyone in the Sixth Division is in a state of panic, fearing that if someone accidentally says goodbye to the sixth division, Mo Ran, the gentle fourth seater, will shake his sleeves.

When the subordinate left, Moran Xianyi slowly got up and left the desk, and threw himself into the sofa beside him in annoyance.

It was my own fault, and it was a big mistake──Moran Xianyi smiled wryly.

Not long after returning to work, Moran Xianyi noticed a slight change in his deputy captain: his facial expression was much softer, and it was difficult to find someone once he was laid off.

I heard from some subordinates that their unsmiling boss has fallen in love, and the object does not seem to be a lady from a wealthy family.

At that time, Mo Ran Xianyi laughed it off, but thought it was alarmist.

Until two weeks ago when she received an invitation from a friend, when she was waiting for her friend in an inconspicuous shop on Liuhun Street, she did not expect to see a shy and red-cheeked Ling Ling talking intimately with the man next to her— ─Crimson really.

Just about to go up to say hello, the man turned around, the familiar face, familiar figure, and that familiar voice──

"It's you, Mo Ran Four Seats."

Fei Zhen was still lovely as usual, blinking at her with big gentle eyes, showing a very happy and shy expression.

The fact came a bit suddenly, Mo Ran Xianyi just looked at the two of them in astonishment.

"Vice Captain... Is this what you are? Is that what your subordinates think?"

"Yes, we are dating." Moran Xianyi still remembered that when Kuchiki Byakuya said this, the expression on his face was satisfied and happy.

"Fei Zhen...it's not that she can't...but she is from Liuhun Street?" Mo Ran Xianyi saw her embarrassment the moment she glanced at Fei Zhen's face.

"Her status doesn't affect anything, I plan to marry her."

Mo Ran Xianyi was in a hurry, knowing that the other party's relationship had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't stop himself from saying more hurtful words.

"However, due to her status and health, she can't integrate into the life of Seireitei. Are you an enemy of the aristocratic system and want to marry a soul of Ruhun Street who is not welcomed by the nobles?"

"You've said too much, Moran Xianyi. No matter who I like, this is my decision. At least I can tell you that compared to the self-proclaimed noble lady, Feizhen is irreplaceable to me. If possible, I hope you will not appear in front of me for a while."

Kuchiki Byakuya's face was livid, and Mo Ran Xianyi understood that he had really angered him.

Probably since that day, Moran Xianyi has never seen him.The work of the four seats does not necessarily have to be reported in person, just ask the subordinates to help pass it on.

Afterwards, Mo Ran Xianyi reflected on himself for a long time.It's just that even she didn't understand how she could be so mean, and hurt people in order to hide the panic in her heart.

She likes Feizhen, and also likes her own vice captain.Why do people always behave so aggressively in the face of the fears they have always had in their hearts?

Mo Ran Xianyi took out a document from the coffee table, which was a letter of consent to be stationed in the present world.

Can go at any time, just let us know in advance for handover.

After the relationship became stalemate, this document that the other party was always unwilling to sign before could be obtained so easily now.

With a sudden pain in his heart, Mo Ran Xianyi closed his eyes, not even in the mood to laugh at himself.

She should leave the soul world for a while, relax, and learn to grow up.

I can't be so childish forever, making myself obscene for something I never thought I'd actually get.

If time cannot go back to the past, let it dilute everything.It was so light that even I forgot the heartache and reluctance I had had.

***

On the day when he finally made up his mind, Moran Xianyi got up early in the morning.

When a young and promising aristocratic youth falls in love with a beautiful and elegant aristocratic woman, it is a "good story" passed down by word of mouth among the aristocrats.

So, when a young and promising aristocratic youth composes a love song with a beautiful and gentle commoner woman from Liuhun Street?

Moran Xianyi can definitely comment on this: Big trouble.

Many years ago, there was a famous young nobleman who single-handedly married a woman from a declining nobleman.

Fortunately, his father was a sensible man, and he talked with the elders in many ways, and finally persuaded everyone to help his son embrace the beautiful woman, which became a good story at that time.

The young man in the story is the father of Moran Xianyi.

It was the dynamic past of her parents that Mo Ranxianyi had never participated in. She had heard a lot and seen a lot from her parents.

A mother who is not of noble birth, even if she becomes the matriarch of the family after marriage, is still under great pressure from the elders.

It's not that Moran Xianyi doesn't understand the reason why her father will take her mother to go out every once in a while; it's not that she hasn't seen the scene of her father hugging her secretly crying mother in the garden.

Knowing that the marriage between the nobles and the common people is always involuntary, why do everyone still go on this road desperately?

Now, even "he" has stepped in—stepped into this troubled road.

In the quiet corridor, several members of the Sixth Division didn't dare to breathe aloud, looked straight at their fourth seat and knocked on the door of the vice captain's room.

"Subordinate Moran Xianyi."

"Please come in."

"Excuse me." Through the sliding door, Mo Ran Xianyi couldn't hear the other party's emotions.Even though I was trembling in my heart, I still had to bite the bullet and open the door in front of me, which now feels like a heavy weight.

Gently closing the door to block the probing eyes of other team members, Mo Ran Xianyi turned around, and then looked into the other party's cold eyes that could not see any emotion.

The indifference and alienation in those eyes made Mo Ran Xianyi's chest suddenly tug.

"Vice-captain, do you think that...'I don't see you for a while' should come to an end?" Moran Xianyi smiled at Kuchiki Byakuya.

Kuchiki Byakuya glanced at her without any expression, then turned his gaze back to the documents to be processed: "It's time to stop for a while."

Mo Ran Xianyi clenched his fists and tried his best to maintain a calm face: "Vice Captain, this subordinate is very sorry for the rudeness towards you and Miss Feizhen. Are you...willing to forgive this subordinate?"

After finishing speaking, I bowed deeply.

Kuchiki Byakuya sighed after hearing the words: "There is nothing unforgivable, please raise your head, ink stains the four seats."

"I was the one who overreacted at the time, and your concerns are not unreasonable." Byakuya Kuchiki looked at her and said slowly, "But life's circumstances are sometimes unpredictable."

"You... have you really made up your mind?"

"Yes." Concise and clear.

Mo Ran Xianyi lowered her eyes and pulled the corners of her lips slightly.

There are many unexplainable things in this world, but most of them are helpless.Letting go of his clenched fist, Moran Xianyi let out a long breath, raised his eyes and smiled and said, "My subordinates sincerely bless you."

Kuchiki Byakuya has a lot of miscellaneous things these days, and has no time to take care of the gossip outside. At this time, there seems to be a faint shadow under the eyes of the smiling subordinates at the table. It seems that the two people's deadlock has indeed added a lot of pressure to her. .

"Is there anything else?" Putting the annotated document aside, Byakuya Kuchiki looked at the woman in front of him.

Mo Ran Xianyi nodded gently when he heard the words, and handed over several documents that needed to be signed by the deputy captain after a brief explanation.Although the two sides had been in a stalemate for a while, the tacit understanding remained, and the last document was quickly processed.

It's finally here.

Mo Ranxianyi paused the hand that handed out the document, then took a deep breath, and said clearly, "Subordinate Mo Ran Xianyi—the former fourth officer of the sixth team—will be transferred to the thirteenth team from tomorrow. Six seats."

Looking at the other party's slightly surprised gaze, Moran Xianyi bowed deeply: "Deputy Captain Kuchiki, thank you for your care during this time."

"Moran Xianyi!" Kuchiki Byzai said slightly annoyed.

Although it was an application for posting in the present world that he approved in a fit of anger, he never thought that this woman would be directly transferred to the [-]th Division.

"Deputy Captain Kuchiki, the official notice of the transfer will probably come down later." Mo Ranxianyi looked at the other party with a very firm look in his eyes, "Captain Kuchiki also supports his subordinates to go to other places to see the world, and now they have paid off. Wish, you should be happy for me."

Kuchiki Byakuya snorted, and responded coldly: "There is no need to be happy. Since you have made up your mind, it is useless to talk about other things. Please do it yourself."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and continued to deal with the work at hand, never looking at Mo Ran Xianyi again.

Of course Mo Ran Xianyi understood why the other party was angry, but she had her own considerations.

The incident of Fei Zhen made her see clearly her immaturity, and the panic and jealousy caused by her excessive inferiority complex were magnifying the ugliness in her heart.

If she continued to stay by this man's side, she would involuntarily have more hopeless hopes.

How painful is this?

So she decided to leave, despite how much it seemed like fleeing.

It's enough to get his forgiveness before leaving.

Quietly exiting the vice-captain's room, Moran Xianyi knew clearly──

Now, there is no possibility for them.

***

The members of the Sixth Division had learned from Moran Xianyi earlier that she was about to transfer to another team, but they all had a tacit understanding not to mention it in front of their vice-captains.

Although he was reluctant, he could only sincerely bless this gentle superior.What's more, there is still a chance to meet each other just by changing teams.

In the month since she was transferred to the [-]th Division, Moran Xianyi had a good time with her new colleagues, and the two bosses were notoriously friendly, which greatly saved her the effort to re-adapt to the environment.

"Although Xian Yi gives the impression that you are always a bit indecisive, but when you really want to do something, you are so vigorous and decisive." In the thirteenth team's chief officer's room, looking at Mo Ran Xianyi who was sitting upright, calm and with flowers, Yi Yi Shi Nanao pushed the glasses and commented.

When her team leader had nothing to do, she went to Yugantang to chat with Captain Fuzhu. She thought she had nothing to do, so she stopped by the official's room to meet her friends.

After carefully trimming the redundant branches of the work, Moran Xianyi gently put down the flower scissors, raised her eyes and smiled at Nanao Ise, while washing her hands and said: "The environment here is very good, very quiet."

After finishing speaking, he got up and went to the cupboard to prepare refreshments for the other party.

"At that time, the news that you applied to Captain Kuchiki for team transfer got out, and I heard that the teams with a shortage of clerks were still trying to steal people, and I didn't expect you to appear here without saying a word after a few days. Nanao Ise took a sip of tea, "Don't talk about other people, even I suspect that Captain Ukitake has done you any favors."

Mo Ran Xianyi raised the corners of her lips, and said with a soft smile: "How can there be any benefits? Isn't it just to find a place where you can cultivate yourself."

Ise Nanao looked up and down at the indifferent woman in front of her. When she smiled, the corners of her eyes were slightly curved, and the arc of her mouth was still so polite and impeccable.

She was seriously injured in a false attack last time, and when several members of the Women's Association went to visit together, she also laughed like this.This made Ise Nanao couldn't help but recall that Matsumoto Rangiku once looked at Moran Kanyi who was not far away at a party and muttered in a low voice──

Laughing as if it would disappear at any moment.

Obviously, as the future head of the Moran family, he has a proud net worth, but his behavior is so low-key and unobtrusive, even cautious to an almost humble level.

It is simply a complex of contradictions.

"I only came here for a chance to be quiet and to see the world in this world. Everyone is thinking too much." Mo Ran Xianyi lowered his eyes and poured himself a cup of tea, "Before receiving the invitation from the sixth team , I was thinking between the fourth division and the thirteenth division, and now I am just returning to the original track."

"So, you've been transferred for a few months. Is the time for your assignment in the present world fixed?" Ise Nanao asked casually.

"Well, Brother Zhiba has already informed me. We will leave in a month."

"How long are you going?"

"Five years, but you can apply to come back once a year." Moran Xianyi looked at Ise Nanao's surprised expression after hearing the words, and smiled softly, "I haven't left yet! Has Nanao already missed me? ?”

"Don't be silly." Ise Nanao's lenses reflected for a while, "It is said to be an application, but you will definitely find it troublesome and not come back."

"Qixu is the one who knows me." Moran Xianyi narrowed his eyes with a smile, "But don't worry, I have made an agreement with my grandfather for three chapters, and I will definitely come back when I should come back."

"That's good." Ise Nanao pushed her glasses, then changed the subject, "Hey, have you heard about your former vice-captain?"

Mo Ranxian froze according to the smile on her lips, she knew it.

Of course she knew about the major event that caused a sensation in the entire Lingling Court a few days ago.

That proud and conceited man, in order to marry Fei Zhen who was born in Liuhun Street, did not hesitate to conflict with his family.Although the family reluctantly agreed to it in the end, there was a lot of trouble and everyone knew about it.

Ise Nanao scrutinized Moran Xianyi's expression without any trace, and asked tentatively: "The big wedding day is scheduled to be a rest day one month later, will you attend it?"

The wedding of Kuchiki's family, a great nobleman in the Soul Realm—although the woman is not very popular with the nobles—is a major event in the life of the next head of the family after all, and it will definitely be a success.

"Grandpa has indeed received the invitation." Mo Ran Xianyi lowered his eyes and did not directly answer the other party's question.

"Many people can't get the opportunity to attend, but you said it lightly."

Trying to suppress a trace of sadness, Moran Xianyi let out a long breath, got up and walked to the window, looking at the sparkling river not far away: "Qixu, you are famous for being good at perceiving people's hearts in Death God. How can you escape your eyes with a little thought. Don't test me anymore!"

"In order to become a true member of the Moran family, I have done my best. But I am not a genius, and my aptitude is also ordinary. I will never become the elegant and luxurious head of the noble family like my deputy captain. As long as I stay by his side for a day, I can't help but yearn for it, but it's unrealistic." Mo Ranxianyi unconsciously stroked his right abdomen, "Qixu, I've been chasing his back for too long, so long... so long that I even It's terrible to forget what I was supposed to be. So taking this opportunity, I want to live for myself just once, even if it's only five short years."

Listening to Mo Ranxian Yiyun calmly expressing her heart, Ise Nanao's heart twitched for no reason.

Moran Xianyi has always given people the impression that she is a young lady who has no desires, but it's not that she doesn't want anything, but she never dared to say it.

The silence between the two lasted until the captain of the [-]th squad, Kyoraku Shunsui, personally came to the chief officer's room to call Ise Nanao back.

And it was only after leaving that Ise Nanao was able to vent her forbearance just now.

She was unwilling and unable to tell Mo Ran Xianyi a too uncomfortable fact──

"My deputy captain..." Ise Nanao chewed these words that sounded natural in the past, but sounded so sad now.

Xianyi, do you know that you have torn your heart in two?

***

One month later, Kuchiki Byakuya's big wedding day finally ushered in.

Moran Xianyi and his grandfather Moran Soichiro attended the wedding banquet together.

Listening to the chatter between grandfather and old friends, Moran Xianyi just smiled politely from the sidelines.

From a distance, Moran Xianyi saw the two newcomers, and also saw their happy and shy smiles.She couldn't tell her inner feelings, but today she just wanted to wish them sincerely.

When Kuchiki Yinling led the two newcomers to this table to toast, the eyes of Moran Xianyi and Kuchiki Baizai met for a moment, and Moran Xianyi naturally congratulated.

Due to the large number of guests present at the meeting, and everyone was already drinking in full swing, no one noticed that the grandparents and grandchildren of Mo Ran's family had quietly left the meeting not long ago without disturbing anyone.

In addition to Kuchiki Byakuya's big wedding day today, it is also the day when Moran Xianyi left the world of souls and went to the present world.

For the ordinary Grim Reaper who was not invited to the wedding banquet, the wedding was just a topic of conversation after dinner.What is really important to them is to say goodbye to their friends who are about to travel far away.

"Residency in the present world is different from being guided by seniors in the past. You have to take care of your health." Ise Nanao urged, pushing her glasses.

"This is your favorite candied plum. Eat one whenever you miss me. If you don't have any, let the handover team member come back and let me know, okay?" Moran Xianyi is her best friend, and Matsumoto Rangiku is very sad that she is about to leave In the world of corpses and souls, it is very reluctant to perform tasks in this world alone.

Hugging with friends one by one, Mo Ranxian felt the warmth from them.

In the end, it was her grandfather's turn to love her the most in her life.

Mr. Moran looked at Moran Xianyi kindly, and gently stroked her face with his right hand. The eyebrows and gentle temperament were inherited from the excellent son and daughter-in-law.

The girl's thoughts are easy to understand. She is hesitant about taking over as the head of the family, and she has one-sided admiration for the boy of Kuchiki's family. How could the grandfather who raised her up single-handedly not understand?

Moran always understands everything.It's just that some people and some things always have to be figured out by themselves to usher in growth.

Staying in the world of corpses and souls, the pressure of Mo Ran's surname was too heavy, which made her have no time to take care of other things.Now that she has been stationed in the present world for five years, it may be a good opportunity for her to re-examine herself.

And that's why he didn't stop his granddaughter from leaving.

"Girl, I have nothing to explain." President Mo Ran smiled, and then patted his granddaughter on the shoulder, "Just remember, old man, I will always be your backing; and girl, you will always be my pride .”

Moran Xianyi heard the words, and hugged her grandfather who always gave her full of love and respect: "Grandpa, I will take good care of myself, and I will often write to you."

When stepping into the world-transmitting gate, Mo Ran Xianyi's heart was terribly calm.

"Thank you for your blessing, Miss Moran."

"Thank you also for saving Madam's life and bringing her into my life."

These were the words Kuchiki Byakuya said when he responded to his congratulations tonight.

And it was at that moment that Mo Ran Xianyi finally let go.

If time goes back to that fateful day, and she is given another chance to make a choice──

She clearly knew that she would still make the same mistakes again.

Once again fell in love with him deeply, and then missed again.

Fortunately, there is no if, this pain is enough.

As soon as he set foot on the land of the world, Moran Xianyi tore off his hair bundle with the surprised eyes of the soldiers on standby, and picked up the Zanpakuto to cut off a large section of hair neatly.

The hair is not as far as the shoulders, and the head is a lot lighter.

She smiled politely at the team members beside her, saying that in the next five years, she will live a good life for herself only once.

It would be great if the heartache and reluctance of the past can dissipate along with the hair.

"The current sixth officer of the Thirteenth Division, Mo Ran Xianyi, inspects the mission in this world, and the team in charge begins to move!"

After finishing speaking, he and the two subordinates assigned to him quickly left the place.
