It's your turn... Allen, Mikasa, and Armin. "

"Brother Akashi!!" Armin shouted happily, his blue eyes full of joy of reunion.

"Brother Akashi, why are you back?" Alan inevitably felt a little guilty, after all, he was thinking about Akashi just now, but the next second this person appeared at the gate, which was a little shocking.

"It's a long story...can you let me in first?" A thin layer of snow had already fallen on Akashi's shoulders.Seeing this, everyone hurriedly let him enter the house and sit down to warm up his body.

As soon as he walked into the room, Akashi noticed the celebratory delicacies and someone who was drunk and lying on the side of the table and fell asleep, the helplessness in his eyes was fleeting.

"Brother Akashi, I'll get you the tableware." Allen said.

"Drink some hot water to warm up your body first." Mikasa said.

"Let me go to the room and find you some clean clothes." Almin said.

Looking at the three people who are becoming more and more sensible, Akashi unexpectedly has a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"You guys, while I'm not here, you really ate a lot." Akashi took off his wet coat, wrapped it tightly around the blanket that Almin brought from the bedroom, and teased them.

"It's the New Year's Eve dinner. Whatever Yue and Sister said, we must have a hearty meal..." Armin explained weakly.

After hearing this explanation, the curvature of the corners of Akashi's lips actually looked a bit bitter: "Is... is she still angry?" Turning his head, the person's slightly red cheeks from being drunk looked very clear under the light.

"Of course." Almin and Alan were still hesitating whether to tell the truth, and Mikasa said everything straightforwardly: "This year, Yue and sister have not had a good life. Although they didn't say it, but in the end She is the one who suffers the hardest."

The eldest, the most should bear everything.So she shouldered everything and brought the three of them to the present.

"It's my fault." Akashi still remembered the day he left, neither Yuewa nor Mikasa came to see him off.

"Why don't you even send back a letter, Brother Akashi!" Perhaps it was because of the alcohol that Armin lost control of his emotions.

"If you send a letter, that guy..." He raised his hand and rubbed the hair of the person next to him, "he will cry."

In the most difficult and painful times, all her pretense can be smashed with just a little care.

"Then why did you come back at this time? Isn't it closed?" Allen asked.

"The military academy does not have a mandatory requirement to stay in school at the end of the year, and besides... I miss you all."

Say everything frankly and silence the room.

"Then when will you go back?" Mikasa asked.

"Tomorrow I will patrol the city, so I will leave at noon tomorrow."

"That's great..." Mikasa breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at the person sleeping on the table, and narrowed her eyes in relief.

"While the dishes are still hot, Brother Akashi, you can eat some. This is all Yue Hejie's craftsmanship." Seeing the end of the heavy topic, Allen hurriedly broke the strange atmosphere, and put the dishes in front of him Recommended to Akashi.

"Yes, yes, you will regret it for the rest of your life if you don't eat it!" Almin echoed.

Akashi looked at the juniors who were vying to recommend his favorite dishes, pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Well, I will try it all. But first, let me send this idiot who accidentally fell asleep here back to the bedroom go."

Seeing that the three of them knew each other well and didn't stop him, Akashi lightly picked up the sleeping girl lying next to him.

Feeling like you lost weight...?

Putting the girl's body on the bed, Akashi covered her with the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, and left with some reluctance.

How long has it been since such a scene, Yue He?I will never repeat the tragedy of that time again, absolutely...

He stood up and turned to leave.

"I'm sorry... Akashi..."

When he looked back, his rose-colored pupils locked on the defenseless sleeping face behind him, full of shock.

You, you are really an idiot... The one who should say sorry is obviously me.

Akashi leaned down, brushed the broken hair from the girl's forehead, and kissed lightly.

Sorry to put you through so much alone.From now on, I will never leave you alone...

The girl had never seen the melting tenderness in the boy's red pupils that seemed to be overflowing.

I haven't seen Juju for a year. You really are enviable.

Opening his eyes, the sunlight from outside the window came in softly, his brain was in a daze, and he couldn't remember what he did last night at all.

The black-haired girl got up from the bed, the quilt slipped off her body, and her thin shoulders immediately felt the chills around her, full of malice. She tried to pull her quilt to warm her shoulders, but found that the quilt was being held by the people around her. tighter.Looking sideways, Mikasa was sleeping beside her sweetly.

Speaking of which... I seem to have drunk too much last night...

Gently put on the plush sweater placed by the bed, put on a thick coat, and went to the kitchen to wash up and prepare breakfast for the little ones.It's part of her routine, and she's used to it.

Walking into the front hall, I was surprised to find that the table for dinner last night had been cleaned up. Yue He, who was originally pleased that the younger brothers and sisters had grown up, inadvertently glanced at the bench next to the table when he turned around. It seems that something has been placed.

She walked over in her slippers, and the scene in front of her eyes became clearer and clearer.

In the end, she stood where she was, not daring to move a step, but the flickering fluctuations in her eyes trembling with surprise betrayed all her emotions at the moment.

"Hmm—" The boy lying sideways on the chair suddenly woke up, and opened his rose-colored pupils. As a result of long-term training, he instantly noticed the existence of another person in the front hall.He sat up, moved his stiff shoulders due to the awkward sleeping position, and greeted the girl in front of him softly: "Good morning, Yue He."

How long has it been since she heard this sentence?a year...?Rather, it's just a habit of more than ten days, a dependence of more than ten days, which makes people so unable to extricate themselves, how terrifying is this man in front of him.

"Good morning, Akashi." Concentrating all the emotions in his heart, Yuehe greeted the person in front of him lightly, then turned around and went into the kitchen to wash up, and started his busy day.

Seeing that the other party didn't want to talk to him, Akashi just sighed inaudibly, put on his coat, folded the blanket that Alan and Armin gave him last night, sent it to the bedroom, and then turned to sleep again. Walking around into the kitchen, standing in a small space, staring at the figure who had already finished washing and was cutting vegetables for breakfast.

Yue He had long noticed the eyes staring at her from behind, but she was stubborn and unwilling to turn her head.There are some things that she really doesn't want to admit at all.

"When I came back last night, you had already drank too much and fell asleep, so I didn't wake you up to tell you that I'm back."

Steadily moving the kitchen knife in his hand, he chopped the cabbage on the chopping board.

"I drank some wine with Alan and talked for a while, and it was late. I thought that since I came back, it would be better to see you anyway."

Pour the chopped cabbage into the sink, turn on the faucet, the sound of splashing water seems to want to isolate the girl from the outside world.

"I see." She heard the young man behind her say this.Obviously, the faucet has been turned to the maximum, and the kitchen is already full of the sound of running water... Why can his voice still be heard so clearly in his mind? ! "I'm going to patrol the city later, so..."

--I'm leaving.

really!Yuehe stopped what he was doing, and clenched his fists tighter and tighter under the icy running water.

"You, it's always like this that always makes me feel very angry." Yue He threw the cabbage in his hand into the sink, turned around, his dark eyes were filled with unknown emotions: "Talk to yourself After doing so many things, you clearly said that you want me to protect your home... Come and leave as soon as you say, do you take this place as your home?"

Although she really didn't want to be separated, a year's time also made her understand a lot.The little girl who was obsessed with Akashi Seijuro's company and protection back then was just indulging in selfish and short-sighted thoughts.It wasn't that she was afraid of any danger to Akashi outside, but that she was afraid that she would be unable to do anything without Akashi.

How would an eagle learn to fly if it didn't have the awareness to fall off a cliff countless times?

This year, Yuehe felt that she was gradually able to understand Akashi's thoughts.At the beginning, she was too naive, thinking that she could arrogantly trap Akashi by her side, but she forgot that Akashi was never someone who was at the mercy of others.She understood and was relieved.Although I occasionally miss the relaxed and comfortable life in the past, I never complain about such a life.Because, at least she is not a useless little princess who has been living in an ivory tower.

But for a whole year, there was no news from Akashi.He lost contact with them.

Now, does he no longer need the destination he talked about back then?

Now, has he forgotten what he swore to protect her back then?

Is there any value in protecting such a home?Is this kind of home still the home in his heart?

There is no answer.Even if she spends her whole life, she still can't figure out the mind of the person in front of her.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." She watched that delicate face get bigger and bigger in her pupils, her head was gently rubbed, and a gentle call came from her ear: "I'm back."

"..." The girl who got the answer trembled all over her body. After a long time of brewing emotions, she adjusted her expression before raising her head. The corners of her mouth were raised, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks.
