[Tutor] Lick the dog until nothing is left

However, it turns out that Gang Ji is decades behind Li Baoen in terms of judging people, or maybe he doesn't fully understand Xia Li. He broke it in two, and she even knocked on the door of Sawada's house early the next morning, and sat next to Yamamoto with her schoolbag in her arms as usual.

The moment he saw her, he was full of surprise, but what followed was the joy of regaining what was lost.Does this mean that Xia Li forgave him and is willing to continue to stay as a friend?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but in order not to embarrass Xia Li, he did not show any difference from the past.The two of them forgot what happened yesterday in an incomparable tacit understanding, and everything seemed to be back to the original point.

Xia Li stopped all online interactions, and didn't intentionally say some flirty words to him, which made him heave a sigh of relief, thinking it meant she had given up.Unexpectedly, although Xia Li has a well-behaved appearance, she has a stubborn heart that does not match her appearance. Her silence is often not a retreat, but a secret observation waiting for further opportunities .

He didn't expect that she would take the initiative to find Li Baoen, and she would hide this matter very well. When he finally noticed something wrong in his daily relationship and went to ask the person concerned for verification, she finally showed her flaws, but He insisted that there was nothing special about the conversation between himself and Li Baoen, and strongly opposed him to find Li Baoen to find out the truth. Out of trust in his friend, he agreed, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Sure enough, not long after that, Xia Li was spotted by Li Baoen because of her inadvertently showing her talent as a warlock. The two of them made a secret deal behind his back. No one should know how he felt when he heard Xia Li say the word "illusion".

Shock, doubt, fear, disbelief... no matter which word seems to be able to describe it, but it is not accurate enough.He can more or less understand Li Baoen's plan to reserve family members for him wholeheartedly, but understanding is one thing, and being able to accept it is another.

No matter how many things he has experienced, Tsuna has always believed that friends around him should not be drawn into this dangerous world. He is grateful for the unprecedented happy time that Li Baoen brought everyone to him, but he has to Watching important people being seriously injured one after another because of him, even though everyone said he was willing, he still felt guilty for it.

Every scene in the battle for the ring is still fresh in his memory. It is precisely because he has personally experienced the cruelty, and because he has been forced to have a reason to fight, that he is unwilling to involve Jingzi and others, nor is he willing to take the fight to the next level. tell them the truth.

Everything started because of him. Without him, Brother Ping would still be the hot-blooded leader of the boxing department, and Yamamoto would not have picked up the long knife in the hand that originally held the baseball bat.Because of this, the daily life filled with gentle sunshine surrounded by friends has become what he cherishes most in battle.

And Xia Li is just an ordinary junior high school student no matter how you look at it. Maybe she has a certain talent that ordinary people rarely have, but this is not the reason to drag her into it.If possible, Gang Ji hoped that she would remain as she is now, be an ordinary person, as long as she is safe and happy every day, it is enough, there is no need to understand those terrible things that should not be understood.

He somewhat blamed Li Baoen for making such a move, and his suppressed anger reached its peak after hearing Xia Li say "this way I can get to know you well", as if he had been stabbed Similarly, when he looked at Xia Li who didn't understand anything, he felt remorse and guilt mixed with overwhelming anger, which almost swallowed him whole.

It even occurred to him at that moment that if only he hadn't known Charlie.Because only in this way, Xia Li will not be attracted by her own specialness, nor will she be invited by Li Baoen to step into this unknown world that originally did not belong to her.She was supposed to be the same as Kyoko Koharu.

Gang Ji didn't understand Xia Li like this, because she just wanted to understand him and get more involved with them, so she didn't need to use this method.As long as I think that because of myself, I have put a friend in a dangerous situation, anxiety and guilt will fill my body.The current Xia Li doesn't know what a terrible choice she made. If she regrets it one day in the future, will she hate him, or them?This is a decision that can completely change a person's life.

After sending Xia Li away, he couldn't wait to find Li Baoen and question him why he did what he did.Li Baoen knew it clearly. If he had told him about this from the beginning, he would never have agreed to let Xiali get in touch with this aspect, let alone learn illusion from Collom.

"Because it's her own choice. Don't say it as if I forced it." Li Baoen blinked innocently, and was not angry because of his yelling. With a meaningful smile, his pitch-black eyes pierced through his thoughts at a glance.

"I told her about the Mafia before I invited her to join, but she still agreed, so if she regrets it in the future, she can only blame her for underestimating herself and taking her turn. It's not until you come to bear all this for her."

"Besides, if you are only worried that she will get hurt because of this, then it's fine for you to protect her. After all, you are the BOSS. Isn't it the BOSS's job to protect family members and important partners?"

As if he had expected this conversation long ago, Li Baoen's attitude was always calm, and he easily kept his words in his stomach, and he didn't even forget to take a leisurely sip of the coffee in his hand.

Gangji was speechless for a moment. In fact, he knew after hearing Li Baoen that he had told Xia Li everything. The current situation could not be reversed no matter what. The matter about Xia Li seemed to be It's a foregone conclusion, since this is the case, there is no other way but to protect her.

In contrast, when facing Kyoko and Xiaochun who still knew nothing, he didn't know whether he was more nervous or more relieved, because there was one less person to hide, if he really wanted to say, In a way it was a good thing, but it didn't make him happy.

About a year has passed like this, and Xia Li's fog attribute potential has been fully developed. In the words of Li Boen, "it is comparable to Colom in terms of talent. If it is well cultivated, one day it may become a A high-level illusionist who is good at manipulating people's hearts."

Although this was a compliment, Gang Ji felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it, and couldn't help retorting: "Don't say that, Xia Li is not the kind of guy who likes to play with other people's feelings." She is not that kind of person at all.

"Because she is very sensitive in capturing people's emotions." Li Baoen smiled, did not continue to argue with him, and said lightly, "From this point of view, I actually quite admire her."

To be appreciated by Li Baoen is actually a kind of recognition to a certain extent, but compared to Yamamoto Heping, he seems to have never mentioned all the compliments to Xia Li to himself, for this reason Tsunayoshi also He once expressed doubts, but Li Baoen smiled slightly and told him: "With her character, the more she is not recognized, the more she will work hard. I did this to let her grow further."

No, it's purely because you like to see her cautious and cautious look every time she faces you...

Gang Ji refuted in his heart a little speechlessly, but he had to admit that Li Baoen's words were reasonable. Although he always liked to mess around, in fact he had his own reasons every time he did things.When it comes to understanding their group of people, Li Baoen is definitely the best, so whenever Gang Ji sees him saying these things behind his back, he can't help but think of something that is seen clearly. I burst into tears of bitterness.

So every time at this time, he is very grateful that there are girls like Kyoko in the world. The gentle and cute smile is like sunshine, as long as he sees it, he will feel warm, as if all the haze disappears in this smile gone.

If Xiali was to some extent the girl he admired, then Kyoko was the one he admired.Jingzi is different from all the girls he has met since he was a child. She will not look down on herself like others, nor will she deliberately laugh at him and want to see his jokes. When she meets him occasionally, she will always have a warm smile on her face Call him Sawada-kun, his clear eyes are full of bright light.

Whenever he sees Jingzi sitting next to him and smiling with his eyes bent, he will be very grateful to Li Baoen in his heart, because if it were not for Li Baoen's arrival, then he might not dare to talk to Jingzi until now, let alone being rejected by Li Baoen. She changed her name to A Gang-jun.It's just that although the relationship with her is getting better and better, Gang Ji still dare not express his inner feelings, let alone show half of it in front of Kyoko, for fear of being hated by the other party or rejected by her.

But as time went by, this feeling became more and more difficult to suppress, especially after seeing that the boys around Jingzi had not decreased but increased in the past two years, he couldn't help but have the urge to tell her, but He hesitated for a long time because he was afraid of failure, and finally got up the courage to confess to her when he graduated from junior high school, but it caused a series of things later.

When Xia Li expressed her heart to him on the rooftop for the second time, even though she knew that she said this in a joking tone because she was afraid of being rejected by him, he still couldn't help but stopped her and told her All her truths.

In all fairness, Xia Li has indeed grown a lot in the past few years. Although she pulled out the banner of chasing him with great fanfare, it was only for others to see on the surface. Restraint, or being careful, for fear that such a move would be disliked by him.

Looking at Xia Li like this, maybe because of the same situation as himself before confessing, Gang Ji understood the meaning behind all her actions this time, he doesn't hate this kind of Xia Li, just like he doesn't hate the general manager It's the same as Xiaochun who talked about marrying him, but because of the latter's carefree personality, he would often treat Xiaochun's words as a joke and ignore him, but he couldn't do it when facing Xia Li.

It was because of this that he thought that this time, no matter what, it would be better to speak clearly, because in this way, with Xia Li's somewhat arrogant personality in the past, she would definitely know the true meaning of what he did. The person she likes should do what she likes, and she can't be careless and take chances.

But even so, after saying those words, Gang Ji couldn't help feeling a bit bitter in his heart, because he also knew that once these words were spoken, Xia Li would no longer be able to stay by his side no matter what. .Unlike when he was in middle school, this time he couldn't convince himself that Xia Li could still be his friend, he knew from his heart that it was impossible.But he had to do it no matter who it was for.

It was a certain day in May. The weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly. The brilliant golden color sprinkled the whole land, and it also sprinkled on Xia Li's hair, which was as smooth as midnight, with tiny halos.

Xia Li stood in front of him, with both hands curled up in front of her eyes, but she couldn't stop the tears sliding down her eyes, accompanied by sobs that could be heard clearly even though she tried her best to suppress it, it made Gang Ji's heart feel like it was filled with tears. Like lead, it sank little by little.

This feeling of breaking the other party's mind was really uncomfortable. At that moment, he even had the absurd urge to take back those words, but they both knew that this was impossible.And he also clearly understood that since he had chosen Kyoko, he had to do so, even if it would hurt Xia Li.

The hands hanging on both sides clenched bit by bit, Gang Ji's mouth was full of bitterness, the guilt and regret in his chest were intertwined, and finally turned into firmness.He forced himself to harden his heart and didn't get close to her, hoping to let her see her choice clearly. At the same time, he sincerely hoped that one day in the future she could find someone who really liked him, at least not like him, even if she saw When it came to her tears, she still chose to stand where she was.

When he got home that night, he received a text message from Charlie.The content of the text message is very long, and there are many typos in it. It can be seen that the person who sent the text message was upset and didn't even pay attention to the typo.

Xia Li's true nature will only be fully exposed at this time, but at the same time, it is a little different from what he imagined. She repeatedly emphasized in the text why it became like this, and the wording obviously has no effect on his future today. Everything pierced through the actions spread out in front of her and she felt very at a loss and bewildered, followed by shame and anger.

Accompanied by the sentence "Don't meet again in the future" as the ending of the text message, Tsuna sighed, deleted the typed three words of sorry, and changed it to a simple "OK", but just pressed the send button When he realized that he was rejected by the other party, Xia Li blocked him clearly, but for some reason it made him feel even more guilty.

Suddenly one person was missing from the fixed small group, and everyone soon realized that something was wrong, and it was at that time that he suddenly realized that Xia Li had many mutual friends with him without knowing it.

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Gang Ji hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell her that he had rejected Xia Li, for fear of hurting her again.Because of this, the boys all thought that he had done something that offended her, and urged him to go to Xia Li to apologize. It's okay to bow to Charlie, my friend.

In desperation, Gangji pretended to look for Xia Li a few times. Although he knew it was impossible, he always had a little hope in his heart, but Xia Li didn't seem to want to see him. Every time he went to her class to find him She always hit a wall.

At this point, he finally knew Xia Li's plan. She really didn't want to associate with him anymore, so no matter what others said, he didn't go to her anymore. He wanted to respect her thoughts.

Such a choice may be a good thing for them.

...Although she knew it in her heart, it couldn't stop Tsuna from being troubled by this matter.After all, it was the first time in his life that he encountered such a thing, and the way he handled it was too immature. Soon, Jingzi found out that something was wrong, and asked him privately what happened.He had no way to hide it from Kyoko, so he had to selectively tell some of the truth, but even so, Kyoko guessed the real reason, so he turned around and asked Yuji and Yamamoto to find Xia Li, wanting to be alone with her. talk about it.

But after fulfilling his wish and meeting Xia Li, Jingzi was always in a depressed mood, and the friends around him gradually realized something, and as time passed, they stopped talking to him about going to find Xia Li.

Gang Ji didn't know what the two of them said, and didn't know if it had something to do with him, but he just felt that with Xia Li's departure, there seemed to be some kind of delicate balance between the three of them.Fragile, but also solid.

As Kyoko's heart knot gradually unraveled, the two soon got together. During this period, Bao En received a letter from the head of the external consultant of the Italian headquarters, that is, Tsunayoshi's father, Iemitsu Sawada, saying that it was recently There may be retaliation against Pengo Lie. For safety reasons, they should be careful when they are far away in Japan, especially pay attention to strangers who suddenly appear on the street.

Gang Ji couldn't help but questioned, and when he learned that this so-called action was a joint revenge by several small families in order to avenge their leader, his heart became very complicated, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for the relationship between Peng Gelie and the mafia. Once again, things repulsed.

It happened on the way out of school, and I don't know where the other party got the news that the ten generations of Pengelie were in Japan, and they sniped very precisely to their location, facing the man in black who obviously had bad intentions , Tsunakichi stopped Kyoko behind him, and Yuji and Yamamoto took the lead, but the other party had a large number of people and was obviously not a vegetarian, so they quickly fell into a disadvantage.Seeing this, Tsunayoshi, who was still debating whether to expose herself in front of Kyoko, no longer thought about it so much. He gritted his teeth and took the death pill, and the situation reversed instantly.

As the flame on his forehead gradually extinguished, facing Kyoko's astonished eyes, he had to choose to confess everything and told her everything about the Mafia.Kyoko's expression was shocked with disbelief, but he didn't say anything, he just forced a smile at him, and hurriedly left with the excuse of thinking about it.

Looking at her gradually disappearing back, Gang Ji suddenly thought of Xia Li for some reason, and did not know what kind of mood Xia Li chose to accept when she learned the so-called truth from Li Baoen.

And will Kyoko's choice be the same as hers?

He couldn't help but cautiously sent a text message to Jingzi, asking her tactfully if she was scared by what happened today, and said that she would understand even if she said unacceptable words in the end.It's just that Kyoko didn't reply to him.

After a night of fluke and uneasiness, what he waited for the next day was not Kyoko's reply, but the news of her disappearance. This made Tsuna panic and thought that Kyoko was taken away by yesterday's gang.

Knowing from Liao Ping that Xia Li was the last person who had contacted Kyoko, he hurried to Xia Li's home and told her about Kyoko's disappearance. It was him who was willful, and the two turned Bingsheng upside down together, and finally found Kyoko who had been sitting there alone all day in a corner of the park when it was dark.

The moment he saw her, Tsunaki forgot everything in an instant, rushed over desperately, and came to Kyoko, lowered his voice as if he was afraid of scaring her, and asked her why she was here, Hurry up and go back with him, Brother Liao Ping is still looking for her.

Kyoko shook her head, stood up and said, "Don't bother Ah Gang-kun, I can do it myself." Then she turned and prepared to leave.

Tsunayoshi more or less guessed that she might still be concerned about what happened yesterday, the expression on her face became a little helpless, and she chased after her and said, "Namori Town may not be safe recently, let me see you off, Kyoko ちゃん."

I don't know where it touched the emotion that Kyoko has been suppressing all this time. Anyway, after he finished saying this, Kyoko's reaction immediately became a little fierce. She backed away trying to avoid him, while shaking her head: "Really? No need, I just, just don't know how to face Tsuna-kun! Tell me such a thing all of a sudden, Mafia or something... I never thought that Tsuna-kun would have anything to do with them, so--"

"It's okay, Kyoko-chan."

Looking at her with a bright smile in the past showing such a painful look, Gang Ji's heart became more and more sour, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand to hug her.

Feeling Kyoko's warm but thin body in his arms, a never-before-seen fiery emotion filled his entire chest.He hugged her and whispered firmly in her ear: "I will definitely protect you, Kyoko-chan."

He will definitely protect her.

So, don't be afraid, and don't give up on him because of it.

Kyoko seemed to be soothed by his words, and her emotions gradually became peaceful. The two walked out of the park holding hands. Tsuna realized that Xia Li was no longer here, and her steps froze.

Kyoko on the side sensitively sensed that something was wrong with him, and asked the reason curiously. After learning that Xia Li was also looking for him with him just now, she suddenly thought of something, and asked softly after a pause: "Xia Li ちゃん she ...do you know about this too?"

"...Well." Gang Ji hesitated for a moment, and told the truth about what she knew, thinking that she didn't want to hide anything from her, and at the same time told Xia Li about joining in. When she heard this, Kyoko fell silent immediately.

After a long while, she sighed softly, said with emotion and envy, "That's great, Xia Li ちゃん."

Kyoko didn't say why it's so good, and why it's so good, and Tsuna didn't ask, but he just felt that something was changing, but he didn't know what it was.

This sudden turmoil seemed to pass just like that, and the two of them returned to their previous appearance. Kyoko still smiled gently and carefully made bento and chocolates for him, as if nothing happened before, and Tsunayoshi cooperated with her, Also make a look the same as in the past, tell yourself not to think about it anymore.

However, fate likes to joke with people so much, and maybe in a sense, even if you get something that doesn't belong to you for a short time, you will still lose it in the end.

When traveling to Italy, the hostile forces that had been released earlier remembered their appearance, secretly planned for a period of time and then made a comeback. This time, the goal was very clear, because the iron fort-like Vengley headquarters could not be breached, so So he changed the target of revenge to the still young Peng Gele tenth generation, that is, Gang Ji.

This time both Jingzi and Xiaochun were implicated, but an opportunity was found in the middle. Tsuna originally wanted her to escape with Xiaochun, but Jingzi chose to let Xiaochun go first, and she was preparing to keep up. It was discovered, so the two were pressed to each other's lair together.

Since it was a retaliation, it is needless to say what happened. Tsuna was beaten up because he prevented them from touching Kyoko, and the blood oozing from his forehead stained the floor.In the voice of Kyoko crying "Agang-kun", for the first time, he did not rely on external force, but entered the super-death mode with his own will. The golden-red flame illuminated the entire room, and the burning high temperature Melted the pistol on Kyoko's temple.

After persevering for a while, the rescue from Pengo Li's headquarters arrived quickly. The pink dress that Jingzi put on before going out was now covered with mud and dust, and her face was covered with half-dried tears. Qingqing's eyes were bloodshot, and he only had time to give him a hasty smile before being taken down by Biyangqi who rushed over urgently.

Jingzi was seriously frightened in this incident, which was different from the one in Bingsheng. At that time, she could still be called standing in the protection seat and watching the whole process, but this time she actually experienced the whole process personally. One thing, so the degree of blow is not the same.

Although Gangji's injury looked terrible, but fortunately the fire of death qi was ignited in time, and he did not suffer further damage. After seeing it, Li Baoen also said that he was lucky this time, otherwise it would be very likely The one who was sent back was a Pengelie tenth generation missing arms and legs. After hearing this, Gang Ji couldn't help being afraid for a while.

Because he was thinking about Kyoko's situation in his heart, he started to run to the hotel where the other party was staying after two days of self-cultivation. For some reason, he always had some bad premonitions. It was engraved in his mind, making it difficult for him to completely rest assured.

After persistently slamming the door seven or eight times, Tsuna Kichi finally saw Kyoko, looking at the girl in front of him who had obviously lost weight in just a few days, he opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say a word , There seemed to be something blocked in the throat, and it was swollen and uncomfortable.

In contrast, Jingzi seemed to understand something, her expression was no longer as gloomy as before, and after calling him in, she thoughtfully poured him a glass of water, and then said: "I'm sorry, A Gang-kun. The next words are what I thought about for a long time before I decided to tell you, because no matter how I persuade myself, I can’t pretend that all this happened, so... I may let you down. "

Having said that, she paused for a moment, as if gathering up some courage, and continued after a while.

"...After hearing what you said about Xiali ちゃん, I thought I could be like her, but when I faced it, I suddenly realized that I couldn't be as strong as I imagined."

"And I, who is so cowardly, only cries when encountering things, and can't do anything, what qualifications do I have to be with Agang-kun? I really envy Xia Liちゃん, because I can't do it like her." Bravery, as long as it's for Gang-kun, it doesn't matter what kind of change it is, but I can't."

"Because as long as I think about being with A Gang-kun, I will experience similar things that day countless times in the next day, and be forced to become a different self from now, and I will feel very scared..."

"If one day, I become Kyoko Sasakawa who holds a gun anytime, anywhere and doesn't care about life and death, then am I... still Kyoko Sasakawa?"

"I am really selfish with such thoughts, I have been thinking about my own affairs... But I am really afraid, afraid that one day this terrible conjecture will become a reality, I have no way to accept me like that, and now I have no way to be with Ah Gang-kun anymore."

"So, let's break up." The tears that had been welling up in Kyoko's eyes since she spoke finally fell, but she tried her best to put on a smile as usual, and said with a choked voice, "What Tsuna-kun needs is Xia Liちゃん." girl, not like me, like me..."

At the end of the speech, it was completely lost in the end of crying.Tsunayoshi looked at Kyoko who was crying and wiping her tears with her hands, and for some reason felt that the scene in front of her was the same as Xia Li back then.

It's really strange, he was crying because of two completely different things, but why did he seem to be in the same mood?

Bitterness, guilt, remorse... In addition to this, there is also the powerlessness of everything in front of you.

Back then, in order to make Xia Li give up, he had no choice but to talk about the matter, which eventually caused Xia Li to cry on the rooftop. He stood by the side at a loss, not knowing what method to use to make her not so sad.Obviously he didn't want to hurt her, but he became the one who hurt her.

And now, Kyoko was sitting in front of him crying, and he was still by her side, but he couldn't do anything except hand her a handkerchief.He couldn't feel those pains instead of Kyoko, and even those memories themselves were brought to her by him.He clearly said that he must protect her, but let her experience terrible things in front of him. The fragile promise can never afford the relationship between two people. The final result is that the promise was not fulfilled, and the relationship also fell to the ground. , can never go back to the beginning.

In a trance, I thought of the text message sent by Xia Li at that time, and the phrase "Why did it become like this" was repeatedly mentioned in it.And now, it was finally his turn to ask this question.

Why is this happening?

What is the reason for the relationship between him and Jingzi to come to this point?

If he had known that it would end like today, he would not have confessed to her in the first place. In this way, she would never experience such a thing because of his own reasons, and he would not be like this now, between regret and love. In the midst of suffocating sadness, he managed to smile, just to respond to Kyoko's words.

【So let's break up. 】

"……it is good."

it is good.

The author has something to say: Thanks to Qiu Zhongci, Xiaotong, and Lilizi, the three lovely mines, for being kind!
