Not a childhood sweetheart

Mouth, closed again feebly.Ukitake suddenly recalled the meeting at Asakawa's family. When he knew that Wufuyu had been reduced to a kabuki, what was his mood?Surprised, heartbroken, complicated, in fact, there is still contempt...otherwise why would my heart ache.

"Huh." The girl snorted softly, "I know, you nobles think that 'drunkness' is a brothel, and the women in it must be singing and joking." When Aju said this, her little hands unconsciously He clasped the edge of the chair firmly, his knuckles turning white. "But even if everyone else is like this, Miss is different. Aju hasn't been here for a long time. I don't know how Miss came here, and I don't know what she has experienced to be able to play such a sad role in almost her true colors. Snow Maiden."

When Aju was speaking, the woman on the stage had already spun round and round, her steps were still steady and neat, and her black hair fell down and circled in the air one after another.The eyes are desolate, but the face under the veil is expressionless.

"Miss is not like other people here. She will not ignore others, nor will she get angry at others. She has always been so indifferent, without emotions. So that Aju sometimes wonders, is it because It’s because the lady doesn’t like this place. After getting along with the lady for a long time, I realized that she just can’t express it sometimes. Miss Dongxue likes this place. When she smiles to outsiders, her smile can’t be seen. But to the people here, she just smiles from the heart. I am very confused about how to do it." Aju continued to swing her legs, looking at the dancers on the stage with rapt eyes.Clearly the attention wasn't on her dance moves.

"When Madam asked me to learn dancing from Miss, I was not happy. I thought I was a good dancer. I didn't understand Madam's intention until I saw Miss Dongxue herself and her dancing. Unfortunately, I am I will never learn it in my life." After saying these words easily, Aju shook her head, putting aside the regret and helplessness in her heart.

"Ma'am?" Fu Zhu knew that it should be the lady proprietress of this shop, so she asked for confirmation.

Hearing this question, the girl just looked back at him and gave a nonsensical answer: "Madam is Madam."

I thought the conversation would end here, but I didn't expect that after watching the dance attentively for a while, Aju suddenly said: "I heard that the lady is good at singing and dancing, but I have never heard her sing before."

An unintentional sentence, the listener has a heart.Fuzhu's long-term memory is not very clear, but he still vaguely remembers that childish voice and some sporadic fragments.

"庭(にわ)に咲(さ)き初(はじ)めた太颜(ゆうがお)に水(みず)を打(う)ってあげたら

The crystal water drops hit the first blooming sunset in the courtyard

游(あそ)びに出(で)かけていた猫(ねこ)が帰(かえ)ってきたわ「おかえり」

The kitten playing outside stepped into the entrance and said "Welcome back"

ほら见(み)ごらん云(くも)のさざなみ

Look at the ripples of the clouds in the sky

Apricot color (あんずいろ)やむらさき沉(しず)む太阳(ゆうひ)に染(そ)まってキレイ

The setting sun, which presents apricot yellow and purple purple, brings a touch of beauty to the sky.

まるで梦(ゆめ)か幻(まぼろし)

It's all like a dream."

The little girl is wearing a heavy kimono, and her crisp voice still has a childish voice. The high-pitched part will become softer and softer because she can't sing well, and it will break if she tries hard.

This was Asakawa Kirityu at that time.It’s true that she wasn’t a good singer, and her voice was mediocre, but at that time, Fuzhu loved to listen to her singing so much, and sometimes her siblings would complain that “the ears have been damaged again.” Hurt" expression, and Wudong, who was really hit, would go on strike and stop singing. At this moment, Ukitake will go into battle in person, and persuade her with kind words, until she is praised like the sound of nature, Miss Wudong will be flat Mouth, continue to sing, but the voice will be a little lower than before...

At that time, Asakawa Kirityu was so cute.

Immersed in memories all the time, Ukitake didn't realize that the performance was over until the applause and cheers broke out.After Wu Dong left the stage, he and Aju hurriedly followed the detour backstage.

Someone offered flowers, someone gave gifts, and when Wu Dong returned to the backstage preparation room, there were already a meter-high pile of gifts at the door.A little headache, but also a little proud, women are all creatures made of vanity.

"Oh! The young lady has gained a lot again." Aju screamed in a fuss, completely different from the slightly deep look when she was talking to Fuzhu before, and she drove them away while attracting other people to come to help. "Miss and this young master go out first, it's too messy here, after tidying up, Aju will call you again."

Was it intentional to bring these two people together on purpose?Fuzhu is not sure, Wudong doesn't care.Anyway, it was just another tangled conversation.

Thirtyseventh

On the silent corridor, people coming and going couldn't help but cast their eyes on Yayoi Wudong and Ukitake Shirōro standing by the wall, most of them were drunk prostitutes, so they looked at Yayoi Wudong, the blue-haired There was more envy and jealousy in Yukino's eyes, and the eyes of Ukitake Shishiro, who was more than 20 centimeters taller than her, were full of provocation and inexplicable ambiguity.

"Cough cough. Let's change the place." Being stared at by the people coming and going, Wu Dong felt a little uncomfortable, coughed twice, looked up at the side faces of the people around him, asking for advice rather than asking.

"Okay." Fu Zhu took out a short jacket, lightly draped it on her shoulders, and agreed with one word.

It was prepared in the preparation room to keep out the cold, looked at the jacket on his body, Wu Dong rolled his eyes, and did not refuse his kindness.

When the two finally stopped, they were near a utility room in the empty courtyard of "Drunk".

"It's quieter here, and no one usually comes here." Leaning against the wall, Yayoi Wufuyu closed his eyes wearily, and suppressed a sneeze that was about to be sneezed.

It seems that I have caught a cold.

"Hey, Shishiro, if you have anything to say, let's say it quickly, it's a bit cold here." Yayoi Kirifuyu shivered as he tightened the jacket he had put on himself just now.

"Wudong. I love you." After hearing Wudong's words, Fuzhu didn't know what to say, so he hugged the person whose face was pale from the cold, and used his body to warm her, shield her from the wind, and confess his love own mind.

"Don't mess around." Unexpectedly, the short woman didn't appreciate it, and pushed him away forcefully, her dark eyebrows frowned slightly. "It's windy here, you're not in good health..." Before she finished speaking, her light-colored lips were engulfed by two other light-colored lips, engulfing the words.

kiss.The slightly short woman had to stand on tiptoe in order to absorb oxygen, while the tall and handsome man cared for her waist with one hand and supported her head with the other, he lowered his head and gently kissed her cold skin. tongue.Four green eyes looked into each other's eyes like a pool of water, neither looked away nor closed their eyelids.

"Aju should be sorted out, let's go back." After the kiss ended, there was no embarrassment or shyness, and Yayoi Kiritsu was surprisingly calm.

"Wudong." This time she didn't allow her to change the subject, Ukitake took the hand of the woman who turned to leave, and said with sadness, "It is mother's will to marry Asakawa."

Hearing this, Yayoi Wufuyu was shocked, as if he didn't understand, he asked again: "Auntie, she passed away?..."

"En." Fuzhu's affirmative answer made Wudong a little hard to accept for a while.The woman who was always smiling, who had always been on good terms with her mother, who did not stand up to drive her away even back then, but who acquiesced in her husband's behavior, died.

Aunt Fuzhu has always been kind to Wudong.Although Yayoi Wufuyu resented the entire Ukitake family for cutting off her last way of life, it was Asakawa who resented her the most. Her resentment towards Ukitake was nothing more than her willful waywardness in wanting to keep the last connection between her and them.

Everyone lives to protect themselves. It is understandable that the Ukitake family made such a decision back then. If they really helped themselves, it would be difficult for Ukitake to gain a foothold among the nobles. The growing Asakawa family imposed on them Stress drives people crazy.This is what Wu Dong came to realize after spending a hundred years "drunk" alone. Since then, she has sadly discovered that the so-called resentment has disappeared, and the last bond between her and Fuzhu has disappeared.

So she let herself think that she still hated the Fuzhu family, but until she said the last sentence, she knew that she could no longer lie to herself.

"I'm sorry." I'm sorry to mention this topic, Wudong's headache is splitting, is it because she really has to accept the reality and can't deceive herself anymore, or because of something else, she doesn't know.All she knew was that when she slid slowly down the wall, the last thing she saw was his Shishiro.Unlike the boy in memory, he has white hair but the same green eyes.His mouth shape was calling her name, but it was a pity that she fell asleep without hearing his voice.

When he woke up, he saw Aju with an anxious face.

"Miss has a fever, why do you still go out to have a hair dryer!" With a reproachful tone, the girl frowned and replaced the wet wipe on her forehead.

"Have you got a fever?" Wu Dong only felt that he was sweating all over his body.
