[Vampire Knight] Keys

"excuse me."

A gentle knock on the door caught the attention of the elderly woman half lying on the hospital bed. She put down the photo album in her hand and politely responded, "Please come in."

The door of the ward was gently pushed open, and an elegant boy with blond hair and blue eyes walked into the room unhurriedly with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. After seeing the peaceful face of the woman as expected, he smiled and said, "Miss Sha Lai, Today's spirit is also very good." After that, he carefully placed the bouquet on the bedside.

"Thank you for your concern." The woman showed a kind smile and asked with concern: "Is Mr. Yitiao's work in the Senate going well?"

Hearing this, the boy nodded slightly, "It was really difficult at the beginning, but now I can basically handle it, but Mr. Zhui Sheng's unyielding persistence sometimes makes us feel very difficult to follow. decision."

"That's right." After hearing what he said, she showed an extremely helpless expression, "Those two people didn't intend to bring me the good news I was expecting before I died. They were indeed unexpectedly stubborn." Said At this point, she suddenly stared at his youthful face very seriously, "Speaking of which, it's time for Mr. Yiyi to find someone."

"Eh?" Hearing her sudden nomination, he couldn't react a bit, and then pointed to his chin and asked, "Me?" How could it be pulled to his head.After seeing her affirmative look, his eyes narrowed into a nice arc, and he said with a smile: "I'm still young, so I don't need to think about this too eagerly."

"It's really unbelievable. It's been half a century since then, but you still look the same. It makes me feel like it just happened yesterday." She said very Feeling flipping through the photo album on the quilt that records the past, sighing from time to time: "Do people at this age like to miss the past like me?"

With a slight smile, the boy replied vaguely: "Probably." Probably because the creatures hovering around him are basically creatures called "vampires", so he can't quite understand the exclamation of human beings.

Flipping through the pages of the heavy photo album, she generously shared her past with him, and he listened carefully to her narration.

When she flipped through the memories belonging to her high school years, his eyes froze for a moment and then continued to freeze on a fresh smiling face.

After staying for more than ten seconds, when she raised her hand and was about to turn to the next page, he reflexively held down the album to stop her movement.

She was stunned by his sudden movement, and after recovering, she followed his line of sight to find the girl in the corner of the album.He was dressed neatly in a high school uniform, with pure black long hair casually draped over his shoulders, setting off a flawless and delicate face, with a well-placed smile that was comfortable and attractive at the same time.

Noticing his ecstatic gaze, she couldn't help covering her mouth with a smile, and then asked, "She's pretty, isn't she? She's a super popular senior in our daytime department. She seems to be called..." Before she finished speaking, she Scratching the back of his head a bit anxiously, sure enough, as he gets older, the corresponding memory fragments will disappear.

"Sugawara." He quickly filled in the missing memory for her.

"Yes," the woman suddenly realized, "it's called Sugawara." However, after remembering, her questions came one after another, "Do you know the senior sister? I always thought that the students of the night department like the appearance association would not be interested in the day department. What about the people and things you care about?"

Thinking about it, he gave an ambiguous statement, "Miss Sarai also said just now that Sugawara is a very special existence, right?"

So, it's not surprising that he knew about the existence of the girl in the photo?That's how she should understand what he said, right?But when she clearly noticed the inadvertent tenderness in his eyes, she denied her previous guess.

"It's just that I didn't expect her to have such an expression, so I couldn't help but look at it for a few more seconds," he admitted. The girl in the photo has a very unique charm, which can make him look at the whole vampire. The beauty queen of the world can still remember her face deeply.

Looking away from the photo, he was startled to realize that the woman was staring at him with a weird look.He said shyly, "Sorry, I've talked too much."

"No, not at all." She shook her head slightly to deny his self-blame, and then she sighed and said with a little regret: "Didn't Mr. Yi not find it out? You don't just admire her, I see it in your eyes." What I got was more of a feeling called 'like'."

"Like it?"

After finishing the conversation, he bid farewell to the old woman and walked alone in the corridor leaving the hospital, but the subjects surrounding the topic lingered in his mind like a spell.

like?It's a question he hasn't been able to answer all these years.

He, Tuoma, has been influenced by the concept of "pure blood" since he was sensible, and was fascinated by its powerful temperament. The class worship nature shared by vampires can be clearly seen on the body.Over time, when dealing with the term "pure blood", he became no longer as sensitive as he was when he was a child, and he naturally accepted the attraction of pure blood without the ability to resist.At the same time, he also ignored an essential question-what is liking?

Until one night 54 years ago, Bai Ou passed away in the chaos of war. He was completely liberated from the cage of pure blood, and the unusual relationship officially came to an end.

That is, on the same night, he went to meet the girl in the photo in person.

At that time, he was asked such a question: "Do you like me?"

He didn't answer her question, to be precise, he didn't know how to answer it at all.How much of the feelings that have been unconsciously manipulated by the purebloods is true and how much is false, he can't judge.

That night, he who didn't know what true liking meant could only let go helplessly, watching that long pure black hair disappear from his face, and then, he never met her again.
