It has been raining bitterly for a long time, accompanied by cold wind, it can be said to be quite tortured.Braving the rain all the way, until Wuyue stepped into the gate of Yiyong's house, the rain was still continuous.

Wuyue raised her hand to wipe away the rainwater falling from the corner of her forehead, secretly thanking herself for not making the decision to wait until the rain stopped before coming back.

Otherwise, I don't know when I will be able to start my journey.

After walking so far in the rain, May was drenched from head to toe.The thin clothes were wet and stuck to the body, and even the shoes were full of water. Every step I took, I could feel the water coming out of the soles of the shoes.

It's not a comfortable experience.Enduring the discomfort all the way, Wuyue didn't want to bear it anymore, she simply took off her shoes and socks, and stepped barefoot on the same wet ground.

After trotting all the way to the eaves, Wuyue was finally able to catch her breath.Putting the wet shoes away, she was not in a hurry to wring out the dripping hair, but first untied the bandage on her left arm.

The wound on the left arm pierced by the broken blade is now in a scab state, and the bandage is mainly used to prevent her hands from messing with the wound.At this moment, the whole body was soaked, and the bandages were naturally unavoidable.Wu Yue really didn't dare to see how bad her wound had become, so she lowered her hand and let her sleeve cover the wound.

Tighten your fist, then loosen it again.She could feel how stiff her palm was.Although no one told her about the specific injury of her left arm, now she still has some idea in her heart.

Must have hurt a nerve.

She didn't want to think about such "boring" things.I started to wrap the untied bandages into a ball, and looked around on May [-]th.It was so dark that she couldn't see any lights leaking from the room.

Yoshiyuki... he shouldn't be at home, right?

Realizing this, Wu Yue was inevitably a little disappointed.She has made complete psychological preparations, and she knows that this time she will be able to communicate well with Yi Yong.

But he was not there, and Wu Yue had no idea when he would be back.

"Ugh……"

May sighed softly, pushed open the door, and stepped into the house on tiptoe.She had already softened the sound of her footsteps, but it still didn't escape the little ears of the coal ball.It rattled over, rubbed its furry cheek against May's leg affectionately, and meowed softly several times.

"Okay, stop sticking to me." Wuyue scratched its chin, "Your face is going to be wet."

But the briquettes are still relentless, sticking to her side.There was no other way, Wu Yue had no choice but to carry it into the nest, and finally got rid of this overly sweet burden.

After changing out of the soaked clothes, taking a shower to warm up her body again, Wu Yue sat in the main hall holding a cup of hot tea.Not surprisingly, as long as you wait here, Yi Yong will be able to see her as soon as he returns.

Then, she wants to have a good chat with Giyuu...

"Master Shuizhu won't come back tonight!"

Unknowingly, the crow reappeared, stood on the edge of the window sill, opened a pair of small black eyes, and quacked at Wuyue.

"Master Shuizhu, he has gone..."

"Go away, go away!"

May, who had no mercy and politeness at all, directly interrupted the crow's words, not wanting to listen to it at all.However, the crow will not shut up so easily.It was about to continue chattering, but it saw Wuyue facing towards the window with a sullen face, and waved her hand gently to hit it.She closed the window as soon as it flew off the window sill.

One person, one crow, separated by a window thousands of miles away.

"Fly away, I don't want to talk to you stinky crow."

May's voice came out from the gap in the window, and the crow instantly frowned and jumped outside the window, impotently and furiously.

"Hmph! Even though I'm a coward, you still blame me? I'm helping you!" it screamed, "Hmph! I'm leaving!"

Thank goodness for being able to get away quickly.

May said goodbye to her crow in her heart, and continued to sit patiently on the tatami.

After a while, she changed her posture and became half lying on the tatami.Finally, the whole body collapsed.

Thinking that the tatami mat was a bit hard, she pulled out a few soft cushions and put them under her body, and bent her arms to rest her head.This position is a little more comfortable.She continued to wait, showing unprecedented patience.

The crow was really right, Yiyong didn't come back tonight.

After waiting all night, no one was found, and Wu Yue didn't feel sleepy at all.

Just a little headache.

During the day, he fiddled with some things to barely fill his stomach, and May continued to repeat the unfinished work of last night—sitting on the tatami mat and waiting for Yiyong to return.But now she was no longer alone, because the briquettes were by her side.

Like May, it went from a sitting position to a half-recumbent position, and finally to a full prone position.

But during the day, Wuyue still didn't see Yiyong.

Wuyue didn't want to be a pessimist, but facing such a hopeless wait, she couldn't help wondering if Yiyong was avoiding her.

Is it because you know you're back?In order to avoid the embarrassment of meeting each other, that's why you don't want to go home?

No way... She was thinking that she was not a scourge, and she would not oppress Yiyong to the point where she could not return home...

The more Wuyue thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she couldn't lie down anymore.She even guessed how Yiyong would know that she was at home-it must have been told by Yiyong's Crow!

This speculation is justified.After all, her own crow has a way to know that Yiyong will not come back last night, so the crow of Yiyong will know that he has come home. Isn't this a normal thing?

Well……

May's heart was slightly shaken, she was not sure if she really should wait here for Yiyong to come back.After weighing it over and over for a long time, so long that even the briquettes fell asleep on her lap, she finally made a decision.

She is willing to continue waiting here, at least she will not leave here today.

If you really can't wait for Yiyong, then set off to find him.

No matter what, she must meet Giyuu.

After making up her mind, all of May's patience returned in an instant.She sat up straight again and continued to wait.

The sky gradually darkened, and being indoors, the surroundings became darker even faster.May lit a candle and placed it in the center of the low table, lest she accidentally knock it over.

The coal ball stepped on the edge of the low table with its two front paws, stretched its body, and stared at the flickering firelight. It was reprimanded by May a few times before it got off the table.

The firelight was not pretty at all, and it couldn't understand why May stared at it for so long.Anyway it is tired.

It paced around a few times, trying to choose a favorite location and have a good sleep.Wandering around and wandering around, finally returned to May.It fell to its legs, curled up its furry body, closed its eyes, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.Wuyue quietly stretched her hand into its soft belly, just as a hand warmer.

However, why hasn't Yiyong come back yet?

Gradually, the sleepy breath emanating from the sleeping briquettes spread to May.She yawned several times in a row, and each yawn pulled out the inevitable fatigue from last night, as if reminding her that it was time to sleep.

no.can not sleep.

How could she be in the mood to sleep without waiting for Yiyong to come back.

Now her heart is almost filled with sorrow.Even though she had rehearsed what she should say to Yi Yong hundreds of times in her heart, she always felt that there was something wrong with the words in her heart.

So I reconceived and polished these words over and over again.

what--

She yawned again.

can't sleep...can't...

His mind was about to drift away, and his body swayed uncontrollably from side to side.Shaking and shaking, plopped, and fell on the tatami.

May fell asleep.

The fire was still flickering, the candle was almost burnt out, and the unpleasant smell from the burning wick filled the room.

— My house is on fire.

This is the first thought that popped into the mind of volunteers who stepped into the house.

He was a little nervous for a while, and looked around hurriedly, just wanting to know where the fire started.

He didn't see the large groups of flames, but only a small cluster of candles in front of his eyes.

And May curled up sleeping on the ground.

Yi Yong was stunned for a moment, subconsciously thinking that he had misread.He stood there in a daze for a long time, but he didn't dare to approach.

He thought May would never come back.

But she did come back.

A burst of complicated emotions entangled in his chest, and it was hard for Yiyong to breathe.

Wanting to approach her, wanting to reach out to her, Yiyong thought a lot, but did nothing, just took the candle on the table and blew out the fire.Then he opened the window again to let the bad smell go away.

In this season right now, the sky is dawning very quickly, and Yi Yong vaguely remembers that it was still dark when he entered the door, and it is already dawn at this moment.

That's no need for candles, he thought.

However, he couldn't figure out how Wu Yue could fall asleep in such an uncomfortable environment.She also slept quite peacefully on the ground of her dojo earlier.

Is this a good thing?Giyuu couldn't think of an answer.He only knew that it must be very cold to sleep on the ground wearing only such a thin piece of clothing and nothing covered.

Otherwise, it wouldn't curl up like a cat.

Yiyong sighed silently, brought a thin blanket from the room, and laid it gently on Wuyue's body.He did not forget to cover the briquettes sleeping beside her with a handkerchief.

Although the handkerchief is really thin, it's better than nothing.

Inadvertently, Yiyong discovered that Wuyue's sleeping posture was very similar to coal balls—they were all sideways, curling themselves up into a ball.But Briquette likes to cover her face with her paws, and May just keeps her hands by her side.

You can hear her steady breathing, and you can also see her long and slender eyelashes trembling slightly.

The soft long hair was messed up by sleeping.Yi Yong stretched out his hand subconsciously, wanting to smooth her long hair.The moment his fingertips touched the hair, Yoshiyuki's heart was stung inexplicably.He immediately withdrew his hand and gave up this slightly presumptuous idea.

let's go.It's time for him to sleep too.

Even though he told himself so in his heart, Yiyong still didn't move his footsteps, he was still sitting next to Wu Yue, his eyes fell on her sleeping face, unconsciously, the corners of his mouth raised a small, imperceptible arc .

When she wakes up, she probably won't be able to look at her so well.

The sunlight outside the house penetrates through the gaps in the windows and falls not far away within reach.Not wanting the light to disturb the sleeping cat and people, Giyuu closed the window again.

Looking back, he noticed that the bandage on May's left arm had come loose.

It's not so much loose as it wasn't fastened in the first place.

Before, she asked Yi Yong to help with the bandages.Looking at the rough bandage knot, she probably tied it with one hand this time.

Yiyong guessed that when she fell asleep, she probably always moved her arms unconsciously, and now even her sleeves were almost rolled up to her shoulders, and the loose bandages were naturally far away from their original positions.

There is really no way.

Yiyong sighed helplessly, gently raised Wuyue's left arm, and started to help her untie the bandage and wrap it up again.He made his movements softly, not wanting to wake up the sleeping Wuyue—rather, it was because he was afraid that Wuyue, who woke up, would see him, so he didn't dare to wake her up.

"Well……"

Wuyue sighed lightly, and moved her limbs.Inadvertently, her finger hooked onto Yiyong's hand.

"Huh..." Yi Yong heard her say in a daze, "Ice cubes...?"

The ending sound rises slightly, which is obviously an interrogative sentence.

Yiyong panicked suddenly, thinking that Wu Yue would wake up.After being frozen in place for a long time, Wuyue still didn't move, it seemed that she was still asleep.

The panic turned into confusion.Giyuu, who was deeply puzzled by May's sleep talk, thought about it for a long time, and felt that May in his dream probably used his cold hands as ice cubes.

He gently took his hand away, and said to May in a low voice: "It's not ice."

His hand only moved away for a second, and Wu Yue's warm fingers hooked up again.

"Ah...it melted away."

It wasn't that the ice cubes had melted, it was just that her hands were slightly sweaty.

Yiyong brushed back the broken hair that fell on her face, then withdrew his hand again, without saying anything, and left quietly, as if nothing had happened.

Until waking up, Wu Yue didn't know what she missed.Even when he saw the blanket covering his body, he froze for a moment in a daze.

……Eh?

She scratched her head, and the bandage tightly wrapped around her arm made her feel something was wrong again.She glanced around hastily.

The doors and windows were closed, just as they were when she was awake.The candle on the table was obviously still a bit long, but it was already extinguished.The handkerchief fell crumpled on the tatami, stained with a few black cat hairs. Wu Yue remembered that this handkerchief was for volunteers.

As for himself, he was covered with a soft blanket, and the bandages on his arms were also tied in the way Yiyong is used to.

She sat alone for a long time before she finally figured out this very simple fact - Yiyong has returned.

She hurriedly sat up and ran straight to the direction of Yiyong.However, she had just taken a step when she suddenly stopped.Slowly, she took back her steps, turned around and returned to the place where she fell asleep earlier.

The tatami was still warm, retaining her body temperature.

Wuyue folded the blanket and held it in her arms. She didn't forget to pick up the handkerchief that fell on the ground, and vigorously shook off the cat hair that was stained on it. Then she started walking again and walked towards Yiyong's room.

It was still light at the moment, Wuyue couldn't make sure if Yiyong was asleep.She sneakily opened the door a little, and peeked inside.

Seeing the raised figure in the bed, Wuyue knew that Yiyong was still asleep at the moment.

Then wait a little longer.

Gently closing the door, Wuyue sat cross-legged by the door.The blanket was on her lap, and the handkerchief was on top of the blanket.She stroked the tightly tied bandage, her mood was surprisingly calm.

It seemed that after waiting for a long time, and it seemed that it was only a blink of an eye, the door behind him finally opened.May stood up hastily.

The moment he met Yiyong's eyes, Wuyue saw the surprise in his eyes.

Obviously, he didn't expect that he would appear here.

But he quickly looked away, staring at the corner of the door frame, as usual.

In fact, Wu Yue didn't like his little move very much.

call--

Take a deep breath.

Itsuki stuffed the handkerchief and blanket into Yoshiyuki's arms.

Then, solemnly told him the words that had been hidden for a long time.

"Mr. Yiyong, I want to have a frank and honest talk with you."
