[Tutor] Lick the dog until nothing is left

Tsuna Yoshi found Shirley one winter.

At that time, the weather was already very cold, he was wrapped in a snowstorm, and his breath was full of icy cold wind.

He stood on this strange land spanning countless mountains and seas, but he seemed like a returning traveler who was close to his hometown. He just stopped in his tracks and stood at a position that was neither far nor near, looking into the distance. her.

"I once told Xia Li that I would invite her to China as a guest."

It's just that no one thought that it would be in this way.

The wind on the side sighed softly, kept the unspoken words in his heart, raised his head and asked him: "Aren't you going?"

Gang Ji paused and paused, with rare hesitation in his eyes, but finally clenched his fists and walked over.

He watched Xia Li's figure getting closer and closer to him, and the anxiety in his heart gradually increased as the distance shortened. He couldn't help but began to think about what he should say when she saw him.

Those meetings that he had anticipated, and the words that had been lingering in his heart for a long time, suddenly disappeared the moment he saw her. It was as if he had returned to his boyhood when he was not good at talking. .

He saw that Xia Li, who had always turned her back to him, withdrew her gaze from looking at the sky, sensed his footsteps, and turned her head to face him without warning.

Suddenly, he saw those dark pupils, as if he had fallen into a quiet and soft night sky, and the early winter sun was the stars in his eyes.

Just when he was intoxicated in this starry sky that only belonged to her, Xia Li in front of him looked at him and tilted her head: "Who are you?"

The strangeness and defense in her eyes made him wake up instantly, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.He had envisioned many scenes about the reunion, but he never thought that she would forget him.

There seemed to be a very light sigh coming from his ear, accompanied by a gust of wind, the wind in a red robe landed lightly and stood beside him.He subconsciously looked at the other party, but saw Feng had put on a gentle smile, and said to her: "This is Sawada Tsunayoshi, your lover. He has been looking for you for a long time."

The wind didn't know that they had broken up.But Gang Ji was caught off guard, but he couldn't stop him.Looking at Xia Li's curious gaze, he clenched his fists slightly, unable to tell the so-called 'truth'.

Their gaze wandered between the two of them for a moment, but Xia Li was the first to laugh: "No wonder, no wonder you look at me with that look."

As if she had solved some great doubts, her smile shone brightly in Tsunaji's eyes.

He saw her standing up from the wooden chair, her gaze looking up at him was as clear as ever, but there was no longer the blazing and bright love in her eyes, but only a touch of curiosity.

He hadn't seen such a look in his eyes for a long time.This reminded him of the distant past. In the union that once belonged to them, he pushed open the door of the studio on a sunny afternoon and saw Miyagi Xiali for the first time.

At that time, who would have thought that the two of them ten years later would end up like this.

Feng said that when Xia Li was sent to him, she was already like this.She lost all her memories, and also forgot about him. She could only vaguely recall the past, but she no longer had the same feelings as him.

She no longer remembers the small town named Bingsheng, the sunny rooftop, or the snowy long street at night in winter.

"Maybe... it's the revenge of the Ring of Hell." Feng sighed.

Is it revenge?Maybe.

It's just that it's not only her who took revenge, but also him.

Pushing aside all matters related to that world, Gang Ji stayed in China.He didn't borrow to live in the courtyard of the wind, but found another place, but he would knock on the gate of the wind every morning, get up and leave at sunset, and it was like this day after day without interruption.

Gradually, Xia Li got used to his presence. Occasionally, when the wind wasn't blowing, the two of them could get along together, sit opposite each other, and spend their leisurely and undisciplined time.

Maybe it's because the love for literature in her bones has never dissipated, and Xia Li, who has lost her memory, has become very fond of reading poetry.At first, she just read it silently, and later shared the words and sentences she liked with him. In this way, Gangji also read poetry with her, and through this simple exchange, she regained the traces of laughter in the past.

""I want to live with you, in a small town, and share endless evenings.""

Charlie smiled as she read.She raised her head and bumped into a patch of brown eyes, as if this person was always watching her and never looked away.

She looked at Gang Ji Qingjun's face, the vague outline in her memory gradually became clear, and finally became his appearance.

Suddenly thinking of what Feng had said, Xia Li raised the corners of her lips and closed the book.

"Hey."

she called him.

"Are you really my boyfriend?"

He was stunned for a while, and before he could answer, he heard her say again: "I don't think so. Otherwise, why did you come to see me so late?"

Gangji was dumbfounded.

If it was before, he might still explain, but now after the silence, he chooses to admit his mistake and apologize.

Wrong is wrong, no amount of reason is in vain.Like someone who misses.

After hearing his sorry, Charlie fell silent.He unconsciously stroked the paper of the poetry collection with his fingertips, lowered his eyes, and saw the long sentences printed on the pages that hadn't been turned for a long time.

"What can I do to keep you?"

"I give you the streets of poverty, the sunsets of despair, the moon of the shabby suburbs."

"I give you sorrow for a person who has been looking at the lonely moon for a long time."

He gave her endless loneliness and sorrow.

But enjoy her prosperity and warmth.

So far, there is no excuse left.

"What kind of person will Shirley-chan fall in love with?"

he heard himself say.

Without the shackles of past memories, what kind of life will Xiali choose today?

He once wished so much that she could become an ordinary person, but now, this wish has come true.

Even in this way.

Xia Li stood up and walked to the window, and stretched out her hand to prop up the carved wooden window sill. The outside breeze was filled with coolness, disturbing the warmth of the room.

Looking out the window at the cloud top covered by the sky, she seemed to be in some kind of contemplation, and her voice softened, "I don't know. But he must be a kind person."

"You know what? I once had a dream."

Xia Li turned her head with a smile, the sun fell on her side face, and she became gentle for no reason.

"In that dream, there was darkness all around, but I was not afraid, and kept walking forward, as if I was looking for something."

"I was walking unconsciously in the dark passage, but I was attracted by the warm light that suddenly lit up, so I walked towards the light, but at the end of the light, I met a little girl."

"She waved at me and called my name, but I couldn't remember who she was, I only felt a familiar breath on her body."

"We walked together in the dark, I don't know how long we walked like this."

"Eventually, she stopped and I kept walking. I looked back at her and she didn't say anything, just stood there and smiled at me."

"She said it was over."

As the words fell, Xia Li opened her eyes and woke up from the dream. From that moment on, her world changed color.

She forgot many things and lost a lot of memories, but she didn't feel sad or panic.She even thought it was fine.

Standing in a strange country and looking at the strange scenery, she felt unprecedented peace from the bottom of her heart.

She likes these flowers, these trees, and life here.

She can feel that this is the life she should have.

As for those forgotten people and things, in such a peaceful daily life, it seems that they are not so important.

I just don't know why, but occasionally when I look up at the sky, I still feel sore pain deep in my heart.It was as if someone stayed there once, and used a knife to melt the opening in her heart, leaving a scar that never healed.

She kept thinking about who that person was, and how he would appear.Or, will he show up?

And the answer to all this was finally revealed when Gang Ji came to her.She saw him, as if she had found some very important answer.

Gang Ji looked at Xia Li who was standing facing the light in front of her eyes, and stretched out her hand to cover the open pages of the book, and also covered the pale moonlight left in her heart.

He smiled at her, his eyes filled with soft light.

Xia Li who has lost her memory is different from Xia Li who likes him, he has known it from the beginning.

But... that's fine.At least, she's still here.

If all he brought her was pain, then from now on, those blank memories should be filled with happiness.

Time flies.

The increasingly cold weather can't resist the sparks spreading in my heart, nor can it destroy the obsession in my heart.

On Christmas night, he invited her to the streets.The street has long been covered with star-like lights, and the tall Christmas tree is covered with rays of light. They walk among the crowd, laughing and playing together to watch the fireworks.

He watched her put on red antlers, closed her eyes and made a wish by the colorful water, and watched her standing under the Christmas tree and waving to him, covered with scattered stars.

He looked at her and smiled.

It was a smile he hadn't seen in many years.

Xia Li, who was not far away, seemed to sense something in her eyes. Looking back among the crowd, she met his smiling eyes.

She was still holding a string of silver ribbons in her hand, but she forgot to hang it on the treetop.

Tsuna came over, took off her scarf as she walked, and put it on her open neckline.Then he reached out to take the ribbon in her hand and returned it to the tree instead of her.

His figure enveloped her, and Xia Li vaguely smelled a familiar smell from his body, which was the scent of pine wood stained with floral fragrance.

After doing all this, Gang Ji naturally held her hand, Xia Li hid her slightly flushed face under the warm scarf, neither of them spoke, just walked along the long street like this.

keep walking forward.

It turned out that as long as it was like this, it would be fine.

As long as you simply hold hands and walk side by side on the winter street, even if you don't say anything, you will feel warm.

It turns out that as long as this is the case.

From time to time, Xia Li's eyes would fall on his neck, which was swayed by the cold wind, and finally broke free from his hand before passing by a shop full of Christmas wreaths.

He was forced to stop, and when he heard her telling him to wait here, he turned around and ran into the shop.

Through the transparent glass window, he saw her being crowded by the crowd to the window, looking down for something.Looking at her concentrated eyes, he felt the long-lost peace and tranquility in his heart. He just stood there obediently, as if waiting for her to return.

Xia Li raised her head as if feeling something, and the two looked at each other, and they couldn't help smiling.

She hooked her fingers towards him, her lips moved slightly, and Gang Ji subconsciously walked towards her direction and stopped in front of the glass window.

He saw her stretch out a hand, and the palm fell against the window.He couldn't help stretching out his palm, and pressed against her through the window.

The cold window melted the warmth of the palms, but the two of them were completely inseparable, as if his broad palms really grabbed her and gave her all the warmth.

The same illusion made them smile the same way.They looked into each other's eyes, as if seeing the world in each other's eyes.

Xia Li walked out of the shop and tiptoed to put on the newly purchased scarf for him.Tsunayoshi lowered her head obediently, feeling the warmth from her between the drooping eyelashes.

So close, it's like she's never been away.

"All right."

Charlie patted him, ruffling the back of his hairy head.

Gang Ji raised his head in a good-tempered manner, but suddenly a drop of cold snowflakes fell from the tip of his nose. When he looked up, the night sky had already been covered by flying snow, like dandelion seeds floating down.

Xia Li stretched out her hand to pick it up, but he took it and pulled her into his arms.Through the heavy coat, she listened to his heartbeat, whispered in a barely visible tremor: "When did you find out?"

He buried his head into her neck and shoulders, tightened his arms and hugged her tightly, his usual clear voice became hoarse, and muffled like a wronged child: "Just now... just now... through the window, look at me eyes."

Charlie laughed.

She lowered her eyes in his arms, "So, have I waited for you?"

In the next second, her body was straightened, Gang Ji put her arms around her, and placed a soft kiss on her brow.

This kiss crossed her brows and eyes, crossed the bridge of her nose, and finally landed on the soft lips.

A drop of warm tears slid down his cheek and stopped on her neck.

"Do not……"

she heard him say.

"It was I who waited for you."

The night wind blows quietly, blowing across the snowy long street in winter night.

——"True End"——
