On how to understand love

Yuya and the captain sat down on the roof of a shopping mall. From this angle, you can see the shopping street and the surrounding areas at a glance. Yuya sat on the top floor, huddled in a ball, and looked at Hitsugaya Toshirō. , which is almost spherical.

He sat on the edge of the roof, leaning against the railing, sending a text message for the report.Occasionally, he would turn his head to look at Yumi, and when he saw her, she was still sitting there without saying a word, quietly.Compared with being on duty on the rooftop with Matsumoto, he really felt what 'tranquility' is.

Yuya wrapped her arms around herself, looked up at the sky, and then looked down at her fingers.

Later, because of the peaceful atmosphere for a long time, she fell asleep very quickly.Into a peaceful dreamland.

. . .

Runlin'an border, a wooden house in the forest.

Aiya is sick.

She was covered with a thick quilt, and there was a window next to the bed. She only needed to turn her head slightly, and she could see the greenery and forest outside.She was groggy because of the fever, and she turned her head in a daze, staring at the green outside the glass. After 10 minutes, because her hands and feet were cold, she couldn't help shrinking into the quilt, staring blankly at the ceiling.

There are green vine leaves clinging to the wall, summer is passing and autumn is coming, and the flowers are showing signs of withering, and they will probably fall down in a short time.Looking at the dilapidated outer wall, You Mi half-closed his eyes, feeling sleepy but unable to fall asleep.

"Ah Bai... Where are you...?" Yumi said with a slightly disturbed voice, her voice was a little hoarse, weak and sickly.

Probably because of the first illness, she was a little uneasy, her eyes were watery, and she felt that she could shed tears at any time.

"It's in the next room." Although there was a distance, and Yumi spoke very softly, he still heard it, and quickly answered Yumi's question. Unlike Yumi, his voice was full of energy and With a comforting tone.

"Abai... what are you doing?" Hearing his voice, Yumi seemed to be relieved, turned slightly sideways, stretched out her hand to the quilt, and pinched the quilt with soft movements.

"...I'm not doing anything." Abai looked at the report in his hand, and when he heard Yumi's voice, he chose to put down the pen. ...It doesn't matter if you write later, he turned his head and looked at the outside room with a smile.

"Abai...can you come...beside me...?" Yumi's voice trembled slightly, she closed her eyes and forced her to speak, which made her throat a little uncomfortable, and the feeling of being dizzy was uncomfortable , she half opened her eyes, looking at A Bai's room.

"Come now, wait a minute." His voice was much louder than hers, but it was obviously gentle and comforting, which made her feel very at ease. There was a soft smile on his lips, looking Very satisfied.

He put the pen well in the pen holder, and picked up something to press the report so that it would not be blown away by the wind.He stretched, then got up from the chair, opened the door, and went to Yumi's bedside.

Seeing him, Yumi seemed to be very happy. Although she was weak, she still said to him with a child-like satisfied smile: "Ah Bai... let's talk."

He reached out and touched her forehead, then took off the towel on his own, changed the cold water, wrung the towel dry, and gently lifted her bangs to put the towel away: "Okay, I want to start from here." You start." Ah Bai squinted his eyes, almost laughing so much that his eyes curled up, this child is so cute when he is sick.

"...Ah Bai... where are you going?" Yumi squinted her eyes, and asked him weakly, watching him turn around with a look of anxiety.

……

He turned around and moved a chair beside the dining table, then sat down beside her bed, and said with a gentle and doting smile, "...it's right beside you." He reached out and patted the back of her hand lightly.

"Ah Bai... what are you looking at?" Yumi's eyes were a little slack, she wanted to sleep but didn't want to fall asleep, with a limp smile and curvature, she seemed to like Ah Bai sitting next to her and talking to herself.

"Just looking at you." He knew that Yuya was a little uneasy because of her illness, so he comforted her.Although Yumi didn't have the strength to see his expression clearly, she knew that Ah Bai's face must be full of tenderness and tolerance.

Ah Bai smiled, Yuya is really cute and cute.

He patted the back of her hand lightly.

…………

……

The atmosphere was quiet, and then Yumi asked again.

"Where will Ah Bai...go?" she asked.Ah Bai always needs to go out to work, will she be left behind suddenly?

After listening, he suddenly sneered, and then stretched out his hand to wrap Yumi's small hand:

"Not going there.

...always by your side. "

——After hearing the most reassuring answer, Yumi smiled with eyes bent, full of satisfaction and cuteness: "...um..."

He coaxed her until Yumi fell asleep, then carefully left and continued to write his report.

…………

……

Yuya saw Abai sitting beside him sickly.

"Abai...what are you doing..."

"Well, by your side."

"Abai... talk to me."

"But...I'm... going to leave now."

Seeing Abai's smile suddenly blurred, Yumi stretched out her hand to grab the edge of the bed, but only caught air.

Abai...can you stay with me?

...I'm sorry, goodbye...Yiya.

. . . . . .

Yumi woke up suddenly, and was a little surprised to find that she was in a completely different situation from the old house, surrounded by the roofs of tall buildings, and she was sleeping on the ground, but she was unconscious.

She felt empty inside.

As the cool wind blew, she suddenly felt that two places on her face were particularly cold. She reached out to touch her face, and it was wet.

Did she... just... have any dreams?

When she sat up, she saw that she was covered with a coat.

There was still a residual warmth on it. She was stunned, and when she sat up, she felt that the corners of her eyes were dry and uncomfortable. She stretched out her hand and rubbed it, but she still felt that the place near her heart was empty, and she really wanted to shrink up and find it. to fill that void.

She was trembling slightly like a small animal.

"Asai, put on your coat."

A familiar voice sounded behind her, with a heavy and steady voice, which was obviously the same as usual, but now she heard it, and felt that the captain's voice was comforting and warm for no reason.

Yumi turned to look at the captain.

Hitsugaya Toshiro looked at her with a slight frown, there was some kind of incomprehensible emotion in his eyes, she stared blankly at the captain for a while, Hitsugaya Toshiro paused, the tears on her face were clear It can be seen that he pursed his lips and asked her with a smile: "Can I sit next to you?"

Yuya nodded slightly, then moved to let him sit down.

He sighed slightly, then sat one meter away from her, bent his knees, and casually looked into the distance.

Yuya didn't speak, just looked down and remembered the captain's coat.She didn't understand why it was on her body. After thinking about it, she picked up the coat and handed it to the captain.

He looked at her cute and cute look, sneered, and said, "It's almost winter in this world, you should put it on."

Yuya blinked, it's winter...

She didn't feel cold, but the captain asked her to wear it, so she put the coat on awkwardly.

Because it was so big, her shoulders were not big enough to hang the coat, and she suddenly looked petite.

Toshirō Hitsugaya looked sideways at her.

She didn't seem to know how to wear a coat, and her hair was also wrapped in it, making it seem like she had cut her hair short in an instant. He pointed out: "Asai, you forgot to take out your hair."

Yumi thought about it.Then he clumsily put his hands behind his back.Get your hair out in an awkward pose.

Hitsugaya Toshiro looked at her.

...what a worrisome idiot.

He turned his head and looked back.

"Asai, were you dreaming just now?"

Yumi thought for a while, stretched out his hand to touch his face, and thought about it seriously for a long time.

Then she nodded.

"What kind of dream?"

She also thought about it, and said softly: "...don't remember..."

…………

……

Not long after, Hitsugaya Toshiro glanced at her: "Are you hungry?"

Yumi tilted her head and looked at her captain.

"Let's go to eat together, I know a good restaurant."

Yumi watched her captain stand up, she froze for a second, then followed the captain.

. . .

This is a ramen shop on the side of the street. The shop is small, but its appearance is warm and lovely.He stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain blocking the door, let Yumi in first, and then followed him.

"Two bowls of chashu ramen." He said to the boss.

The boss glanced at him and paused: "Oh! It's Hitsugaya, long time no see!"

Hitsugaya Toshirō nodded with a smile. He would eat ramen at this restaurant in the real world when he was on vacation.Perhaps because of his special appearance, people in the store can easily remember him.

Yumi blinked, it was her first time in such a special place.

The only type of restaurant she's ever been to is an izakaya.

The boss glanced at the cute and cute Yumi, then smiled and asked the captain: "Girlfriend?"

He smiled: "No, they are friends."

The owner smiled brightly.

... You Mi paused and looked at the captain.

Does the captain consider her a friend?She suddenly felt a little happy.

He looked at her with a helpless smile, Yumi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, then turned his head back and hung his head in a daze.

……

…………

"Asai, is there anything you want to eat? They sell oden here, it's delicious."

"Kanto...boiled?" Yuya had never heard of this word, and tilted her head.

"Want to try it?" Seeing her curious look, he asked her with a smile.After a pause, he added, "This meal is my treat."

... Ayumi was stunned, thinking for a long time.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard him say to the boss: "I want eggs, radish and Chikuwa's oden."

Yumi was a little overwhelmed, and anxiously reached out and tugged at the captain's sleeve: "Eat, I can't finish eating..."

He suddenly became interested, and smiled confidently: "I will share half with you."

Yuya was still a little anxious, but when she saw the captain's smile, she blushed and hesitated for a long time, then turned her head again.

When Yumi was depressed, she felt her head sinking, and when she raised her head slightly, she saw the captain put his hand on his head with a smile: "Asai, you will feel better after eating delicious food."

Yumi couldn't understand, but still nodded.

The captain's hand was warm.

She paused, and suddenly remembered that when she was troubled by that sound in the Urahara store, when the captain came to cover her ears, his palm was also very warm.

Seeing her staring blankly at him, he didn't feel embarrassed, but rather amused.

Yumi suddenly smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, which looked very cute: "Thank you, Captain."

He paused, "Why?"

Yumi thought for a while, then frowned in distress, and counted in a low voice: "Last night, the captain helped cover...ears, and then, he treated me to red bean buns... just now, the captain lent me a coat...after...please me Eat ramen...and Kanto...Oden..."

Yuya suddenly looked enlightened.

...It turns out that I need to thank the captain so many times...

She paused, then took out another candy from her pocket, which was given to her by Tie Zhai, and she gave the candy to the captain: "Here, to the captain..."

He stared at her clumsy look and froze for a while.

Seeing the hand she stretched out, she was cautious and trembling, and the cute way of thanking and giving Candy actually made him feel full of warmth.

...Feels like...hearing your own child call yourself 'Daddy' for the first time.

... No, there is definitely a problem with this phenomenon.

Hitsugaya Toshiro stretched out his hand, took her candy, felt her icy fingertips across his palm, he seemed to feel a cold electric current rushing straight to his heart, paused, watching her shrink back hand, a little lost in thought.

After a long time, the sound of the store manager putting the bowl of ramen on the table brought back his consciousness of traveling far away.

"Asa... Asai, thank you." He looked at her.

You Mi paused, and shook his head quickly: "The team, the captain... helped me a lot, and also... treated me very well..."

At least it hasn't been a long time, except for Ah Bai, no one cares and loves her so much.

Hitsugaya Toshiro put the candy carefully into his pocket and shook his head.

"Let's start eating noodles, it's delicious." He looked at her with a smile.
