On how to understand love

She recovered the next day, but she was still a little weak. Because of the sore throat, she just kept her mouth shut all afternoon, just nodding and shaking her head to answer other people's questions.

Even though it was already noon, no one planned to blame her, the captain went out again, and Yumi decided to go out for a walk with the dog after eating the love millet porridge from Lingtiezhai.

Youmi’s dog walk is very special... no collar or rope is needed, anyway, as long as she pats the puppy, the puppy will happily walk with her, sometimes Xiao Dengzhang will walk in front, and sometimes Youmi will walk behind Next to it, so sometimes Yumi walks the dog and sometimes the dog walks Yuya.

Yumi looked at the puppy. Its fur was roughly the color of the clothes Dengzhang was wearing, and the eyes were a little white, so Yumi thought of Dengzhang.The puppy has grown up a bit and gained a bit of weight. Compared with the thin and weak appearance when we met at the beginning, it is much fatter.

...So recently the captain always looked at the dog with disdain, and complained sullenly: "You are taking up more and more space."

It’s almost Christmas in this world, and the white snow is evenly spread on the ground. Because this is a residential area, no one deliberately clears the snow piled up on the roadside. The sparse footprints on it are deep and shallow, criss-crossing Follow a white road.

Yumi looked back at her own footprints, not shallow but not deep and methodical, but later felt a little bored, so she followed in other people's footprints.

The surroundings are very quiet, the sun is dazzlingly white, but it doesn’t necessarily have any warmth, and the surrounding area is still surrounded by cold air from the snow. The puppy and her are walking silently, and Yumi sees that they are about to reach the crowded shopping street. Then he stopped in his tracks: "Let's go back...?"

The mouth was a little hoarse, and the voice was soft and questioning, as if asking for the puppy's permission. The puppy obviously didn't understand, but he knew that it was a habit to stop when he came here, so he turned around. , and go back with Yumi.

While it is good to have friends, tranquility is also needed.

In such a cold winter day, the tranquility is so peaceful that only the slight sound of leather shoes touching the snow, rubbing the palms together, and then exhaling a mouthful of white mist, and being happy on its own.

Don't think about anything, just let it go.

Just like this, he listened carefully to the sounds around him, or he didn't think about anything and just looked at the road ahead.

Occasionally it is still possible to enjoy the peace of solitude.Yumi likes to walk the dog, although she doesn't know why, sometimes she is very happy by herself, and sometimes she can be very unhappy by herself.

She looked at her frozen red palms and rubbed them again.

Everything is still on the quiet and beautiful winter morning—

A trace of malicious and sharp murderous intent rose out of thin air, like a sharp arrow just shot from a hunter's bow, piercing straight into her heart.Yuya's relaxed footsteps stopped in place, and the uncomfortable feeling made her frown.

This person's baleful aura is cold and piercing, quickly rushing into her heart, and then spreading to her limbs, full of domineering and killer's coldness, as if telling you mercilessly: I am here, you are in danger.generally.

Yumi's footsteps stopped in place, she could escape from Yoshiku immediately, but the puppy was by her side.Yumi judged the situation quickly, and she probably sensed that the person was in that direction, so she immediately picked up the puppy with one hand, held it in her arms, and ran forward quickly.

The puppy didn't seem to understand the tension, and kept writhing restlessly in Yumi's arms. Yumi's speed couldn't dodge that person's attack at all, but once she didn't use Yoshiko, she couldn't touch the puppy. Puppies can definitely get hurt.

Suddenly, a sharp knife aimed at Yumi's calf and flew away. Seeing the murderous knife, the puppy broke free from Yumi's arms. Yumi wanted to catch it back but was a step too late. Strangely, he ran towards the knife and yelled fiercely, as if he wanted to shout the knife away.

"No!" Yumi turned around and immediately tried to grab it back, "It's very dangerous..."

...However, neither the puppy nor the weapon stopped.

In less than a second, the puppy's barking was abruptly stopped, and the puppy was hit in the abdomen by the attack, wailed a few times, and then fell down.The puppy half-closed its eyes, breathed hard, its abdomen heaved up and down, and the blood that flowed out soon stained the white blood on the ground red. Yumi immediately ran to the side of the puppy, but helplessly heard the puppy He whimpered a few times, and stretched out his tongue to lick her, but finally closed his eyes weakly.

The puppy's body was stiff on the snow like this, and the splashed blood was particularly eye-catching on the white snow. Yuya saw the puppy's soul popping out immediately, and before he even glanced at Yumi, that small body grew bigger It turned black, and a bone mask soon appeared on her face. Youmi took a few steps back in astonishment, and saw the puppy growing into a monster as tall as a street lamp. Jumping to the top of the nearby roof, looking at the puppy, panting lightly.

The grinning, red animal eyes looked maliciously at Yumi, who was much smaller than it, and the dark red light stared straight at her, inside the mouth full of sharp animal teeth Spit out a mouthful of heavy moisture, which turns into a conspicuous white mist in winter.

Yuya hadn't recovered from the shock, she and the puppy who seemed to have grown up in an instant stared at each other for a long time, and then she put her eyes on that person's position... that person was waiting for the puppy to become empty. It was gone, the 'feeling' that belonged to that person had long since disappeared completely, and Yumi had no time to think about whether that person had hidden his aura or really left... because she couldn't ignore the heavy and heavy hair beside her. With the sound of oppressive breathing.

She had no choice but to turn her head to look at the motionless Xu, the horrifying and ferocious lines on the bone mask facing her fiercely, Yumi felt her feet trembling, her hands were hanging by her side, she was powerless to move the Zanpakuto When he came out, he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth to say the puppy's name.

…Life can pass so quickly.

Just so fast.

Just a moment ago, he was still a cute puppy, wagging his tail and following her feet, and would still bark cutely when he saw her, begging her to play with him while whimpering.Yuya was wondering why the puppy broke away from her at the last moment and ran towards danger.

Then, Yuya slightly lowered her head to look at her trembling hands.

Why can't these hands protect it?

She was trembling, and could hardly straighten her back. Yumi felt her vision blurred and became clear again. She felt a heat in her chest, which made her very uncomfortable. It was her own mistake that caused the puppy to be caught instantly Killed, and because of her mistake, the puppy's soul became empty, which made the puppy struggle and suffer so much.

She didn't feel the feeling of the puppy coming back to life when she saw the head.

Because she is her, her ability can make her feel the sadness and pain of the puppy, the feeling as if suffering on the tip of a knife made her unable to control herself for a long time, she looked weakly at the head in front of her, and lost her mind The monster-like face reminded her of the lively and lovely puppy.

It was my own fault.

It was my own fault.

It's all her fault.

Yuya's legs trembled.

A few seconds later, the head suddenly raised its head to the sky and let out a long growl. The cry was deafening in her ears, and she felt the surging anger and sadness again. She stood on the spot, and saw that head raised his right paw, and then swung it straight down toward her——

That paw swung a gust of icy wind, and the wind quickly penetrated into the cuffs of her clothes, and the bone-chilling coldness of winter quickly penetrated into her heart and then spread to all her limbs, she just stood there stiffly looking at that Claws, she thought that the sharp claws would tear her body apart like this, but when she swung halfway down, the animal claws hung in the air like this.

Seeing the claw that was close at hand, Yumi regained consciousness a bit, and seeing the sharp claw that paused and hesitated, she finally recovered her mood and jumped up to avoid the attack from the other end, distanced the distance, and quickly turned the lamp Zhang dialed out.After froze for a while, she chose to untie her Zanpakuto.

When she saw that the head was retracting her attack, Yumi's eyes widened, and she stared blankly at the way the head turned around to attack her. Dengzhang followed after her, but it was different from usual , Deng Zhang was silent, just said: "Asai Yuya, cheer up."

Yumi couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence. She avoided the attack slowly and bluntly. Dodged, but, she stood where she was, watching the ghost approaching.

The head made a strange roar, and she heard the distressed screams, and she knew that the head was in pain and pain, just like her.She couldn't separate the head from the puppy. She knew that it was her own mistake that caused the death of the puppy, and she also knew that it was because of herself that the puppy became what it is now. She worked hard.

"Yumi! Get out of the way!" She heard other people shouting, telling her to get out of the way.

Dodge... dodge?

Why do you want to dodge, how do you dodge the puppy, the puppy obviously wants to play with me.

She stood there dully.

Later, she saw someone landed in front of her. The snow-haired boy was holding a Zanpakuto. He turned his head and looked at her. Seeing the tears on Yumi's face, he was stunned for a few seconds.

Later, he reached out and patted her face, just lightly, lightly.

His hands were warm, and when he touched her cold face, all her disordered emotions were instantly calmed down.

As if in a lifetime, the color of the world faded instantly, so that she couldn't hear other voices, and could only see the boy in front of her clearly.Suddenly, Yumi's vision became clear. She saw the captain's worried eyes and the pain in his eyes.She looked at the captain silently, her body froze there, she was only slightly surprised and doubtful.

It was as if all the colors were lost, only the bright emerald green eyes of the young boy in front of her were left, soft and firm, and the power was gradually passed on to her just by the mere meeting of the four eyes.Yuya panicked like a small animal, and he could see everything in his eyes. Tears welled up in her pale white eyes, but after turning around her eyes a few times, Yuya quickly held back the tears and pressed them down.

She heard her thumping heartbeat and regained her composure.

She didn't know what to do, really didn't know.

But you, the captain, have appeared, but she still doesn't know how to save her.

But after all, he was relieved.

Yumi touched her face, then took a deep breath, and after standing still, she reached out and grabbed the captain's sleeve.

"...Captain, I want to fight."

Hitsugaya Toshiro opened his mouth, and then nodded when he saw Yuya's firm and clear eyes.

He moved a position, and Yumi took a deep breath, then walked forward and stood in front of Xu.

She saw the ferocious hair clearly, took a deep look, and then got ready, holding the lamp tightly.

That head seemed to only want to attack her, Yumi avoided several attacks with some difficulty, and quickly moved to the face of the bone mask with Shunpo, she froze her body in the air, she hesitated Looking at the mask, it was as if she was staring at the dark red eyes under the mask. Later, she raised her hand and used a lamp to split the mask into two.

At that moment, she saw the time spent with the puppy in the past, the scene of the puppy looking up at her full of hope, flashed out at that moment, and disappeared in a flash.

After the mask shattered, the inflated body of Xu was gradually sucked in by Deng Zhang, and the spiritual seeds of Xu were absorbed with the support of the exhausted, and finally, the soul of the puppy appeared at the place where Xu disappeared, but Seeing the dying, Yumi immediately flew over and squatted in front of the puppy to pick it up.

The puppy looked at her with watery eyes as usual, and the dog's paw rested on her hand, breathing and looking weak. Yumi squatted on the ground like this, and smoothed the puppy's fur for the last time , touched the puppy's head for the last time, and then raised the Zanpakutō, hoping to bury the puppy with his own hands.

"Wow..." Ruofusi's barking sounded pitiful, but Yumi vaguely felt that the puppy would cheer her up again.Her hand was frozen in the air, and the puppy got up and licked her palm with its tongue, and then leaned into her arms.

After blurring, the puppy's soul was forcibly pulled back. The soul was damaged and very weak. Yumi didn't dare to delay. She rubbed the puppy's ears, her voice choked up: "...goodbye."

"Wow." The puppy answered Yuya with a weak bark as if he knew everything.

She gently placed the seal on the puppy's forehead.

Then kneel on the ground, watching the puppy's soul turn into a butterfly, and then fly towards the sky.

…………

……

After a good minute, until she could no longer see the butterfly, she stood up, put the lantern back into the scabbard, and stood there in a daze.

How can life disappear so fast, so fast.

Everything about the puppy in her mind, from meeting to getting along to the last moment, was like a revolving lantern. She only remembered how fierce the puppy was at the previous moment, how happy and lively, and then in a flash, its blood Sprinkle eye-catchingly on the ground, blooming unforgettable roses on the snow.

Does it hurt?It must be very painful and hard to be pierced through your small body by such a knife. I am really sorry, very very sorry.

Why can't even protect my favorite puppy with my own hands.

Why, even though she has worked so hard, is the previous training still in vain? Sure enough, she can't protect anything?Have you ever grown up?Why, I can only watch the puppy look weak and painful, why can't I do anything.

She fell to the ground in a daze again, staring blankly at the cold body of the puppy lying on the ground in the distance.

The soul has flown away, leaving only the cold and stiff corpse.

She looks at the puppy.

...was her fault.
