[Toho Ninrui] Walk with you

Night, no wind.

In the dimly lit study room, candles flickered on and off without anyone paying attention.

Ito Ren leaned back on the back of the chair dejectedly, his palms powerlessly covering his eyes.

give up……

He finally gave up...

Whether it is hard work, freedom or oath.

Slightly exert force on the back, and while exhaling deeply, the slightly stiff body is tilted forward into a posture of palms covering the forehead and elbows supported.What keeps changing in my mind are the blue eyes shining with sadness and determination, the moon-white figure that never looks back, and the temperature of another person coming through the fabric of the clothes...

Forget it! !

Shaking his head violently as if avoiding it, Shinobu Ito suddenly felt astringent in his mouth.Habitually, he stretched out his hand to the teacup to moisten his throat, but in the end it was empty.

"..."

The momentary sense of loss left Ito Shinobu stunned for a while.Staring blankly at the empty palm for a long time, the young general finally put his hands over his eyes and let out a low laugh in frustration.

Once vowed to return Ling Yang to the world, once promised to unload Qu Xirui's burden as Ling Yang's stand-in...

The results of it?

The young general slowly closed his five fingers that couldn't grasp anything: "Ha, I'm really useless... Rui..."

Little by little, he buried himself in the crook of his arms, and the nickname he had never called slipped gently on the lips of the young man, which was so natural and smooth that it should be taken for granted.

"Rui..."

It seems that by repeating that name over and over again, you can pretend that the person hasn't left.

There is still a figure of Yuebai busy in the garden, and there is always someone who brings hot soup and water when he forgets to eat and sleep...

Rui...

It turns out that it only takes a moment to get used to a person and forget him, but it takes a long time...

"Shin." Just as Shinobu Ito was immersed in the chaotic thoughts, Yohji Miyazaki gently pushed the door and walked in.

"Get out." The hoarse voice ordered coldly.

"Forbearance." The lieutenant who followed the general all year round remained unmoved: "Go find him."

"..."

"Whether it's the end or the beginning, you always have a choice."

"..."

********************************

"…………"

When a certain general finally plucked up the courage to come to the Valley of Others under the persuasion of a capable general, what greeted him was an empty valley and a small building.

The flowers are still blooming, the grass is still luxuriant, the birds are singing on the branches, and the animals of all colors are happily shuttling through the bushes-this is a typical scene that can only be seen when someone is absent.

"…………"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but a certain general always felt that the small building looked down on him with incomparable sympathy.

Depressedly, he turned his head and prepared to go back home, but was startled by the person standing silently behind him.

After seeing clearly who was coming, the young general abruptly pulled out half of the precious sword and put it back into its sheath, a surprise accompanied by a little nervousness: "Senior Luo."

Luo Siyao obviously didn't care about his emotions, raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Come to see Rui'er?"

"Yes."

"He's not in now."

"I know."

"I won't see you again."

"……I know."

"Then you're still here?"

"I just want to meet him and make it all clear."

"And then?" Luo Siyao looked at him coldly: "Take him back to that golden birdcage?"

"No, his decision to stay or stay is up to him." Shinobu Ito said without hesitation, "I will accompany him."

Luo Siyao looked at him in surprise, and after thinking for a long time, he finally said, "You know, boy Leng, Rui'er is our most important child."

His voice is very soft, as if a gentle elder is explaining to a child who is about to travel far away. If you ignore the murderous words: "If it wasn't for his insistence, do you think you are still alive to this day? It was the first time I saw Ruier look so sad, and since then I vowed not to let him show that expression again. When we met again, he was still crying, do you think I will still believe you?"

"No more, I will spend my whole life protecting Rui's smile." The young general looked at the poison doctor without any fear, his eyes were steady and steady: "Vows will always be broken, so I will not I swear. If you are willing to believe, please give me one last chance. Shinobu Ito's life is here, as long as you feel unqualified, you can take it away at any time."
