[Tutor] Lick the dog until nothing is left

I often realize one thing.

Although there are only a short 24 years, there are already many memories worth cherishing without knowing it, and most of these memories have a common background, that is Nishimori Town.

We were born here, met here, and parted from it, but in the end we will return here, back to this city that gave us a miraculous encounter and still tenderly guards this memory.

There are clear skies and lingering clouds, brilliant sunrises and colorful sunsets here.

There is me, there is him, and there are all friends who share a common bond.What exists here is both "us" and "everyone".

And now, right where this story begins, we are together.

Even though I have liked him for so many years, I still think that I am not a perfect good person in a certain sense. I often have a lot of bad thoughts, but they are bound by my own morality, and there is no Opportunities can be realized.

I thought I would spend my whole life wandering in self-loathing and perseverance, but then I found that as long as I was around Tsuna, those dark thoughts would disappear unconsciously.He is like a light, illuminating all the corners of my heart, imperceptibly leading me to the right path, and step by step to become a better self.

This may be one of the reasons why I have persisted all these years.

After returning home and lying down for a long time, my mind was always blank. I took out my phone and wanted to send something so that I could share with others my messy mood at the moment, but at the end I gave up and clicked on the familiar rabbit profile picture , After searching for a long time in the favorites, I found a suitable emoji package, and sent it to him with a flick of my finger.

Then before the other party could reply, I jumped forward as if I had done something terrible, buried my face in the pillow, and the groundhog's screams rolled and played in the depths of my heart. There seemed to be a piece of hot magma hidden in it, and my whole cheeks were flushed, and I foolishly laughed twice at the darkness, feeling that no matter where I was in my heart, it was sweet.

With a buzzing sound, I quickly turned over and pulled the phone in front of me.

[Male God: Haven't you rested yet? 】

[I always like tuna: I can't sleep, I'm thinking of you! (/ω＼)】

[I always like tuna: [Give you my heart.jpg]]

Gangji was quiet for a while, and just when I couldn't help but want to send him a shock, the screen suddenly flashed, and it was he who dialed directly.

I straightened up and sat up on the bed, cleared my throat nervously, and only pressed the answer button after confirming that my voice was normal.

"Hey, what's the matter?" I coughed lightly, trying to make my tone sound similar to usual.

"Natsu-chan."

He called me on the other end of the phone. The background sound was a bit noisy. It seemed that Lan Bo, Feng Tai and Yiping were talking, and there was also the voice of Nana’s mother asking Li Baoen if he wanted more food. I turned my head immediately. The corner of his mouth curled up, "Haven't you guys finished your meal yet?"

Accompanied by the sound of chairs being mopped, these voices gradually became inaudible. Gang Ji seemed to have walked to another room, and after a while he heard his voice with a smile: "Lanbo is going to get the plate." I accidentally tripped over the wire of the rice cooker, and everyone had to wait until the new rice was steamed before starting."

There was an image in my mind in an instant, and before I had time to laugh, I heard him ask over there: "Would Natsu ちゃん want to come over?"

"Eh?" I was taken aback, and subconsciously stretched out my fingers to grab the flat sheet twice, forcibly pulling out a conspicuous bulge on it.

To be honest, I still don't have a real feeling about my relationship with him. To explain it in a more popular way, it is the so-called "like a dream".

So when he proposed such an invitation, the first reaction in my mind was, do I want to meet my parents?Although he soon woke up and knew that he definitely didn't mean it, but even so, he would still feel nervous and apprehensive. It was rare for him to feel awkward about going to see Aunt Nana just after the relationship was confirmed.

On the one hand, I really miss what he says and what I do, and I can't bear to refuse every request of him; on the other hand, I feel a little shy about it.Under the pressure of two thoughts, I simply threw the whole question back to him, half looking forward to half apprehensive, wanting to refuse but still greeted: "Is it not too good? Why don't we go there next time?"

My original intention was to let him give an affirmative reply to give me some confidence, but after hearing my words, Gangji actually thought about it carefully, and then told me: "Hey, it's inconvenient Is it? If that’s the case, then next time, Natsu-chan, get some rest earlier.”

I:"……"

I'm sorry, I was wrong, you ask again, I'm definitely not hypocritical.

He on the other end of the phone didn't light up the telepathy with me at all, and when he spoke again, it was another matter.

"Just now I received the news from the headquarters. The boss of the Gilurone family seems to be seriously ill. The itinerary for returning to the voyage the day after tomorrow will be changed to tomorrow. Li Baoen wants to go back and visit him as soon as possible."

"Is it so sudden?" I was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that something seemed wrong, "What is the source of the serious illness? Could it be human-made?"

The Gilurone family is an ancient giant with the same history as the Pengelie family. Although it has gradually declined with the evolution of the times over the years, its remaining power cannot be underestimated.Moreover, Arya, the leader of Gilurone, is the owner of the big empty pacifier among the seven children of the rainbow. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for anyone to get close to her and use some dirty tricks.

"It seems to be the reason for the sudden deterioration of the body organs, whether it is artificial or not... Jiliurone has not given any information yet." After the sentence "Be careful not to stay up late" and so on, the chat came to an end.

"...So, I have to go to the station early tomorrow morning, and I have to go back to Tokyo before I can take the plane. The journey will probably be very bumpy, Natsu ちゃん, try to rest as much as possible tonight, so as not to be too tired when you go back. By the way, Things need to be tidied up! Don't leave anything important, or it will be very troublesome at that time, so I can only ask Senior Kusakabe to help us with international direct mail..."

There were some rare ramblings between the words, which were not quite the same as his usual performance. I couldn't help laughing when I heard it, and deliberately teased him: "ツちゃん talks a lot today, are you nervous about talking to me?" ah?"

…………

Tsunaki was obviously silent for a while, and his voice sounded again after a few seconds, and it sounded a little bit lacking in confidence: "Nervous or something... It seems a little bit, but the name Natsu-chan is what happened?!"

I suppressed a smile, tried not to change my tone too much, and answered him in a natural way: "Because you call me Natsu ちゃん, I'll call you ツちゃん if you're polite. Or you want me to call you Tsunaちゃん is also possible.”

Having said that, I suddenly wondered what Kyoko called him when he was with him.Since they are already a couple, it should be a change in nickname, right?

With this in mind, I simply asked out, Gang Ji seemed to be taken aback, and hesitantly replied: "It should be...about the same as now?"

I was immediately dissatisfied: "What do you mean? Don't perfunctory me!"

"No, it's mainly because it's been too long, and I can't remember this kind of thing." Tsunayoshi explained with a smile, and at the same time did not forget to calm my emotions, "If Xia ちゃん cares, you can call me whatever you want. , I have nothing to do with it."

These words were very pleasing to the ear, and I was immediately coaxed into a smile. The two of them said a few more words that were not nutritious, and finally they said good night to each other, ending this boring and scary phone call.

I was alone holding my phone, laughing foolishly at the blacked out screen for a while, clicked on the calendar and looked again and again, and drew a big red circle on May 5th.

From now on, besides my birthday, there will be another day that I must remember.After that, the [-]th of every month will become an exclusive anniversary between us.

If I hadn't been sane, I'd have opened the window and told everyone he was mine.It's a pity that I'm not a person who likes to show off much in essence, or when I really get something I care about, the desire to show off is not as strong as before.

So I rolled around and around on the bed, but I never told any of my friends about my relationship with Gang Ji, and I didn't even post one on Moments.

If possible, I hope this world can be as small as just me and him, so that no one can bother us, and we don't have to face so many right and wrong anymore.

But fantasies are just fantasies after all, neither I nor him are people who can indulge in feelings casually.

In this world, there are too many problems that need to be considered and solved, and being able to hide in Taoyuan Township with him is just a dream of mine after all.

On the day when we returned to the headquarters, it started to rain lightly in Palermo. The continuous rain covered the entire field of vision. Looking around, it was hazy, and the gray sky was oppressive for no reason, which seemed to indicate some kind of ominous warning.

As soon as I returned to the Consultant Manor outside the door, I immediately called up the past documents on the computer, picked out all the parts related to the Gilurone family, and spent a night reading it carefully, feeling more and more uneasy.

Just half a month ago, the leader of the emerging Jesso family in the Mafia world went to Gilurone in person to discuss with Arya about merging the two families, but Arya refused.After that, Arya's health suddenly deteriorated, and she couldn't get out of bed at all until a few days ago. Fortunately, she ordered someone to bring back her daughter in advance to inherit the family. Chaos is enough to glimpse.

But even so, all of this still seemed too coincidental, and I couldn't help but search for information about the Jesso family again.This young and energetic family has been developed by Dongfeng with box weapons. It only took a few short years to expand and become stronger. It is one of the families with the strongest development momentum in recent years. Nothing more than its leader dared to invite Arya to merge.

The mouse stayed on the name of 'Branjeso' for a long time, and I subconsciously manipulated the cursor to make a circle around this line of words, and my brows gradually frowned.

The Jesso family has mastered a considerable part of the box weapon resources in the current mafia world, and has also spent a lot of money to build and purchase many high-end rings. Their ambitions cannot be underestimated.If he is really allowed to annex the Jiliurone family, then its growing power will be comparable to that of the current Vongola. By then, the entire pattern of the dark world will be broken, and a new struggle will surely be set off.

I pressed the center of my eyebrows a little irritably. The continuous rainy weather these days has made it impossible to open the windows indoors, so the air is stagnant and dull, and I feel unbearable after staying for a long time.So I simply stood up. The moment I got out of bed, I felt a little top-heavy, and I almost fell down. Fortunately, I helped a cabinet in time to stand up straight.

Sucking my nose hard, I felt a stagnant feeling deep in my nasal cavity. I realized that I seemed to have caught a cold, but I didn't take it seriously. I shook my head, opened the door and walked out, intending to relax. Changed his mood, but didn't want to run into an old acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time, so he was stunned for a moment.

"Miss Lal?" I opened my eyes wide in surprise, "Why did you come back at this time, what happened?"

"It was that fellow Riboun who told me to come back."

Lalmirch, who was dressed in a dark brown military uniform, frowned tightly, without the slightest smile on his face, and even omitted basic greetings. The calm expression on his face made me subconsciously have a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after hearing her next sentence, she said: "The news came two hours ago, the leader of Kiriurone... and Dakong, who is also the child of the rainbow-Arya, died of a serious illness and passed away this morning."

From this moment on, the situation changed suddenly.

I raised my head and looked out of the window. The trees grow especially lush in the season approaching midsummer, and I can see the verdant green, and the whirling Lin Tao faintly comes from it.The low-hanging sky was covered by dark clouds, and the top of my head extended all the way to the distance, and finally disappeared in the endless distance.

Arya's funeral was scheduled for three days later.At the same time, the chief succession ceremony of her only daughter Yuni was held together.

As if they were going to hold up the last face for their old friend who passed away, all the Rainbow Sons except Verdi rushed to the scene at the same time, and everyone changed into black clothes for a rare occasion, and stepped forward one by one. The last bouquet of flowers in my life.

Mamun was suspended in mid-air, looking down at the black and white photo with Arya's portrait printed on it, his tone seemed to be mocking and sighing: "What a ridiculous and sad fate, I seem to have seen the end of our future."

Libun didn't speak, he took off his hat, and stood in front of Arya's grave without moving for a long time.

I came with Gang Ji, and the current situation made me subconsciously feel that this place is not suitable for staying, so after the worship, I used the excuse of going back to the car to get something, and quietly retreated from the dark crowd.

Stepping on the stone path full of green weeds and wildflowers again, I inhale the fresh air full of earthy fragrance. I raised my head and glanced at the sky that has not yet cleared. A small drop of rain just fell on my eyelids Up, along the arc, it diffused into the eyes, bringing a sore feeling of discomfort.

This time the original excuse became true. Seeing that the rain had stopped for a while and it was beginning to fall again, I hurried back to the car to get an umbrella, and hurriedly wanted to rush back to the cemetery, but I was on my way. On the way, I saw a small figure.

Youni squatted on the side of the path with her back facing me, the snow-white cloak behind her was flattering, and the edge fell into the mud, stained with a different color, but she didn't realize it, her thin body was covered by the wide hem , more and more lonely and precarious.

I stopped hesitantly, looked at her back, and opened my mouth hesitantly, but didn't call out her name.

Today is actually the first time I saw Yuni, the new ruler of Giurone, but in my opinion, she is a little girl who looks a little thin at first glance.

But even so, she has already shouldered all the responsibilities at this age, which always reminds me of the former Tsuna, but he has partners, teachers, parents, and all kinds of people who help and help him. company, but Yoni is alone now.

Thinking of this, I finally made up my mind, stepped forward a few steps and walked behind her, raised the umbrella over her head, and called out 'Yuni' softly.

The girl in front of me moved slightly, and turned around in the next second. I was caught off guard and broke into her wide and deep blue eyes like the ocean, which clearly reflected my appearance from the bottom of her eyes.

Those are a pair of extremely transparent eyes, as if they have the power to penetrate people's hearts. Many mature adults do not have such eyes, but at this time they appear in a child who is only 13 years old.

I stared at her in a daze for a moment, but it wasn't too long, because soon she bent the corners of her eyes, showing a quiet but bright smile.

"Why is Miss Xia Li here? Is the funeral over?"

"Not yet."

I knelt down, ignored her first question, and asked curiously, "What is Yoni doing here?"

Actually, what I really want to know is why she didn't go to her mother's funeral, but hide in such a place by herself.But maybe it's because the child's eyes are so special that I subconsciously put these questions in my heart, and pay more attention to her behavior at this time than these, which makes me more or less concerned.

Hearing this, Youni staggered a little to the side, with a gentle smile on his lips: "It's a flower, I'm protecting it from the rain."

In the gap where the stone slabs meet, a white cosmos grows tenaciously, standing proudly in the pattering rain.This was originally a flower that can be seen everywhere, but Youni showed a very different cherishment. With her fingertips gently stroking the soft petals, the smile on her face became warmer little by little, and her eyes were calm and peaceful. And distant, seems to have some nostalgic look.

"I made an agreement with my mother to give her such a bouquet of flowers on her birthday." She said softly, the smile on her lips became softer, "So, you must protect it."

So this is ah.I couldn't help but fell silent, and then my eyes fell on the weak but tough flower. For some reason, I felt that the image of Youni in front of me overlapped with it a little.

After a while, I sighed softly, raised the corners of my lips and smiled at her: "Miss Arya must be very happy if she sees it. Because Uni has grown up."

"That's right, Yuni-chan has grown into an excellent successor to the Son of Daizora~"

The voice with a smile that suddenly broke in was soft and hoarse, but it was a strange timbre that I had never heard before.However, before I could react, I saw Youni stood up first, the smile on his face faded in an instant, facing the other party, and called out a name that I was very familiar with.

"Bai Lan." She said softly, "Why are you here?"

Brandon... Jesso? !

I suddenly came back to my senses, stood up and looked at the person coming.In the misty rain, he was the only one who was as distinct as Youni. He was dressed in a snow-white suit, making his figure extraordinarily straight, but at this moment, he had one hand in his pocket, and the other hand was holding an umbrella. It seemed completely careless, incompatible with the solemnity of this cemetery.

The young man named Bai Lan always had a warm smile on his face. He greeted me friendly after seeing me. The inverted crown tattoo under his left eye was extremely eye-catching.

"Hey, it's our first time meeting, the young lady next to Gangji-kun." When he smiled, his eyes would bend into a beautiful crescent shape, obviously it should be very pleasing and harmless to humans and animals, but when placed on him, it showed something for no reason imperceptible violations.

"Today is a great day for Yuni-chan's successor family, of course I'm here to congratulate you^^"

I frowned when I heard this, but Youni didn't change his expression at all. Looking at him, his expression was still calm, and he said lightly: "The succession ceremony will officially start at night. If Mr. Bailan is interested, you can participate at that time. I On behalf of the Gilurone family, you are always welcome."

"Oh, it's a pity, I have something to do tonight, I'm afraid I will disappoint Uni-chan." Bailan rolled her eyes, and her tone didn't sound like a pity, "But I prepared a copy for Uni-chan. Great gift for celebration, you should like it... Well, of course, you don’t need a gift in return, but if Uni-chan changes his mind and wants to merge with my family, I’ll be very happy ^^”

These words did not conceal the purpose of appearing here at all, they were completely explicit, but Youni did not even blink his eyes, and still refused decisively.

Bailan suddenly turned into a bun face, and said disappointedly: "Don't you really think about it? If Kiriurone and my Jesso family are reunited, and with the power of the son of Uniちゃん Daizo, we can definitely become The strongest family in Mafia, Vengley or something, don’t need to pay attention at all.”

I couldn't bear to listen, so I took a step forward to stand in front of Youni, held her hand and said, "Since Mr. Bai Lan is so confident, why don't you use your own strength to develop the family and surpass Pengo Lie? Instead, Kiriurone must be involved? Could it be..."

I hooked the corners of my lips, "Is Mr. Bai Lan also a person who likes to take shortcuts?"

"That's right, you got the answer right." Bai Lan looked back with a smile, showing no sign of anger, "Because I was taking shortcuts from the very beginning~ But in the final analysis, these shortcuts are all my own. It's different from you, this... Shirley-chan?"

I was stunned, and couldn't help thinking about when he had been standing there openly and overhearing my conversation with Youni, but before my thoughts could spread, the smile on the corner of his lips widened a little, At the same time, the eyelashes trembled slightly, and the violet-toned pupils were clearly revealed in front of my eyes.It was clearly the bright color that was the complete opposite of Yuni's, but there was an icy cold light permeating the bottom of his eyes.

Bai Lan was obviously smiling, but his eyes were full of coldness. He just stared at me like this, his tone was still very soft.

"You said, if it's something that doesn't belong to you, even if you get it for a short time, how long can it last?"

His words seemed to be implying something, and I couldn't help but tremble when I met that gaze, I always felt that he seemed to know something important.Although I don't know what exactly that refers to, but I don't know why Tsuna's face suddenly appeared in my mind. This uncontrollable thought made me suffocate, and even my heartbeat was disordered for half a beat.

I forced myself to turn my attention back to Bai Lan in front of me, took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and retorted resolutely: "It makes sense, since this is the case, I also hope that Mr. Bai Lan understands that Gilurone and Dakong pacifier, Even Yoni himself was never your thing."

As soon as I finished speaking, I said 'I'm sorry', and I turned around and walked towards Arya's cemetery with Youni. He quickened his pace, and the feeling of being watched slowly disappeared after he turned a corner.

Youni was very obedient from beginning to end and let me hold her. When we saw the funeral crowd, he finally moved. He broke away from my hand and raised his head and said, "Come on, Miss Xia Li, he is waiting for you." I'm following you."

……Eh?

I opened my eyes wide and saw her smile at me, turn and walk towards the members of Giuriurone's family.

Immediately after that, there was a rush of footsteps, Gang Ji pushed aside the crowd, and hurried towards my direction, seeing me in a daze, he immediately showed a nervous expression.

"Suddenly it started to rain again, your cold hasn't healed yet, don't make it worse..."

As he was talking, he stretched out a hand to touch my forehead, and at the same time he didn't forget to touch himself, tested the temperature of the hatchback, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at me in relief: "That's great." No, there is no fever, otherwise the situation will be serious."

One after another incidents happened one after another, and I was still immersed in the conversation with Bai Lan, but at this moment, after feeling the warm palm temperature from him, which obviously did not belong to me, my restless heart was finally at last. Re-settled at this moment.

I raised my head and looked at him, looked carefully at his eyebrows and eyes, and kept all the concern and warmth in my eyes, and couldn't help but bend the corners of my eyes.

No matter what he has experienced, at least everything in front of him is not fake.

He is right in front of me, I can see it, touch it, and even reach out and hug him.

【If it's something that doesn't belong to me, even if it's obtained for a short time, how long can it last? 】

I don't know the answer to this question.

But I clearly know that it has nothing to do with the past and the future, but only focuses on the present moment.

At this moment, the person in front of me really belongs to me.

It is enough for me to know this.

The author has something to say: ツちゃん (Tsu sauce), here is the Kyoko called 27 (Tsu-kun) ten years later in the future chapter. It is really very intimate. Only Nana’s mother called him that in the whole animation.

I've been waiting for a long time, and I always feel that after entering the background of the future war, the more I write, the more I feel heavy _(:з"∠)_ and the Bailan you want is finally here! (?)

Thank you Xiaotong and Putao for the two cute mines, for being kind!
