Amethyst Fascination

Standing at the door of dormitory 201, the young man bit his lip, his eyes a little dazed.

Echizen Ryuya, that's how the man who claimed to be his brother introduced himself.But the smelly father and mother never mentioned such a person, and he didn't remember such a brother at all?

But he can be sure that this person must have existed in his memory, because the way this person eats oranges is very special and familiar.

He looked down at the golden-red orange in his hand, which was given to him by Echizen Ryuya when he left.He remembered the look in Long Ya's eyes when he left, although he still had a lazy smile on his face, there was an indelible sense of loss in his eyes.

The word "brother" made him think of another person, the person his father once mentioned to be his brother, his current lover.

So, somehow, he finally reached the door of Yukimura's dormitory.The boredom and panic in my heart can only be calmed by being with this person.

"Echizen? Why are you here?" When Fuji opened the door, what he saw was the young man's delicate face, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

He hasn't talked to this child for a long time. Ever since he found out that this child was dating Yukimura, he has been avoiding meeting this child alone. A precious child.

Biting his lip, the boy lowered his head and asked softly, "Is Senior Yukimura here?"

An ordinary question turned the joy in the ice-blue eyes into undisguised sadness.A faint smile was stubbornly raised on the corner of his lips, and Bu Er stepped aside a bit, motioning the young man to go in, and said softly, "He's inside."

"Ryoma?" The person who was reading seriously with his head down, was attracted by a real sense of presence. Yukimura looked up at the young man standing beside the bed, with a gentle smile in his amethyst phoenix eyes. "Is there anything wrong with me so late?"

"Well, it's okay, I'll come over and take a look." The handsome face was a little pale, and the young man frowned involuntarily.This person is not in good health recently, it is better not to disturb him with some irrelevant things.Turning around, the boy was about to leave, "I'm going back, you should rest early."

Frowning slightly, Yukimura was sure that the boy had something to hide, so he lightly clasped the boy's wrist the moment he turned around. "Wait a minute, I'll take you back."

"No need." Wanting to refuse, but swallowed all his voice when he saw those slightly deep purple eyes, the boy lowered his head and followed Yukimura out of the dormitory.

Standing at a secluded corner of the dormitory, Yukimura quietly looked at the boy's slightly dazed face, and asked softly, "What's wrong, Ryoma?"

After a moment of silence, the boy lowered his head and said in a low voice, "After practice with Senior Tokugawa today, I was attacked by that bearded man."

Is Byodoin Phoenix?With a deep knot between his brows, Yukimura looked at the boy carefully, and after making sure that there were no injuries on his body, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked softly, "Why did he attack you? Are you injured?"

Shaking his head, the boy said in a low voice: "He came very suddenly. If Senior Tokugawa hadn't helped me block it, I might have been injured. Later, someone helped me hit his ball back, and he left without saying anything. gone."

Hearing the faint panic in that immature and hoarse voice, Yukimura knew that the child was quite frightened today.With a slight pain in his heart, he stretched out his hand to hug the young man into his arms, gently stroking his sweaty hair, and asked, "Who is the one who helped you hit the ball back at Byodoin?"

Yukimura was sure that the reason for the child's gaffe was not only the inexplicable hostility of Byodoin, but also the person who fought back the ball from Byodoin.

"He said, his name is Echizen Ryuya, and he is my brother." The little hand gently grabbed Yukimura's lapel, the boy raised his head, with a trace of helplessness in his eyes. "But I don't remember him at all."

Echizen Ryuya?

With the same surname and too similar first name, Yukimura estimated that this person is really inextricably linked with the boy.But why does this child not remember at all?

After thinking for a moment, Yukimura asked softly, "Do you want to call Rinko's mother?"

"No." He quickly rejected Yukimura's proposal, seeing the slight surprise in his purple eyes, the boy turned his head and muttered awkwardly: "Stinky dad will definitely laugh at me."

Thinking back on the father-son relationship, Yukimura chuckled helplessly. "Then don't think about it for now, everything will be discussed tomorrow."

It's right to think about it, nothing is more important than tomorrow's game.The boy blinked, handed the orange in his hand to Yukimura, and said, "This is for you to eat, I'm going back to sleep."

Gently holding the tangerine that was still slightly warm, Yukimura thought for a while, then simply peeled off the skin, took out a piece and brought it to the young man's lips, and said softly, "Eat it together."

Opening his mouth to eat, feeling the sweet taste between his lips and teeth, the boy squinted his cat's eyes in satisfaction, and muttered inarticulately: "That guy Echizen Longya is the same as Smelly Dad, he doesn't peel oranges when he eats them. I tried it once." , It’s really hard to eat.”

Fingertips froze slightly, Yukimura pursed his lips, bent down and kissed the lips with a little orange juice.The tip of his tongue painted a beautiful lip line, wantonly enjoying his own sweetness, he sighed vaguely: "Ryoma, don't think about it."

He raised his arm hesitantly, and finally wrapped it around Yukimura's neck lightly, the boy's delicate face was flushed red.Suddenly, I felt that it was nice to have this person by my side.

Sending the boy back to the dormitory, Yukimura did not go back to rest immediately, but walked out of the dormitory building, trying to sort out his slightly chaotic thoughts in the cold night air.

First of all, why did the Byodoin Phoenix attack Ryoma's child?

If Byodoin had the heart, he should have collected all of Ryoma's information since he returned to the base in the morning, and learned that Tokugawa attached great importance to Ryoma.Even if Ryoma has a certain strength, it is insignificant in the eyes of Byodoin.If you think about it this way, the problem is not with Ryoma, but with Tokugawa.In other words, Tokugawa's excessive attention to Ryoma is the inducement for all the inexplicable actions of the Byodoin Institute.

Next, Tokugawa Kazuya will have a fierce battle with Byodoin tomorrow, why should he take the risk of injury to protect Ryoma?

This is not difficult to explain.Whether it is personally sending Ryoma to the cliff for training, or a contest with Ryoma after his return, or inviting Ryoma to practice with him today.Everything points to the same answer. In Tokugawa Kazuya's heart, Ryoma is a different existence.Perhaps, Tokugawa is to Ryoma just like Tezuka was.

Third, who is Echizen Ryuya?Is he really Ryoma's brother?

I lived in the Echizen family for a while, and no one in the Echizen family ever mentioned Echizen Ryuya, and even in Ryoma's oolong album, there was no trace of this person's existence.If Echizen Ryuya is really Ryoma's older brother, why did everyone in the Echizen family wipe out his existence?

Therefore, the most important thing to pay attention to now is Echizen Ryuya who rescued Ryoma from Byodoin.

After sorting out all the doubts, the bell to turn off the lights at the base just rang. Yukimura walked slowly along the way back, and met Tokugawa at the corner.

Standing under the streetlight, watching Tokugawa frowning slightly after seeing him, and passing by without saying a word, Yukimura said softly, "Thank you for protecting Ryoma, Tokugawa-senpai."

Pausing slightly, Tokugawa looked sideways at the junior high school third-year student who was two years younger than him but was no less imposing than anyone else, and responded lightly: "No, I just did what I had to do." thing."

What to do?Tokugawa's most natural answer made Yukimura raise his eyebrows, and smiled gently: "There will be a fierce battle tomorrow, Tokugawa-senpai should not do something reckless, otherwise the loss outweighs the gain."

Turning around, the deep purple eyes and the amethyst phoenix eyes looked at each other quietly for a moment, and Tokugawa said in a cold tone: "I love Echizen very much. So I must not see him being affected by anything within my power. harm."

The frank answer and calm eyes made Yukimura's smile gradually disappear, and his usual soft voice faded, "Tokugawa-senpai, it seems that your words are not suitable for me."

Still looking at Yukimura calmly, Tokugawa's straight lips raised slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I will not let anyone have a chance to hurt Echizen. If Byodoin wants to hurt Ryoma, I will definitely defeat him tomorrow." he."

Looking at Tokugawa for a long time, Yukimura suddenly smiled. "Then, please do your best, Tokugawa-senpai. Good night."

Sitting by the window, Long Ya stared at the silver pendant in her palm, with a hazy smile on her lips.

He still remembers that on the day he left the little one ten years ago, his father Nanjiro hung the necklace around his neck and said to him: "No matter where you go, you are Ryoma's brother. No one can change this The truth, Longya."

Gently opening the cover of the pendant with her fingertips, looking at the immature and delicate face in the small frame of photos, Long Ya picked up the orange that was put aside, and took a bite.The bitterness of the orange peel and the sweetness of the pulp give off a special taste in the mouth, making the handsome eyebrows condense and stay between the eyebrows.

For ten years, every day in the ten years, he ate oranges in a way that ordinary people couldn't understand, staring at the child who was engraved in his heart from the first moment he saw him.

No matter how hard the past ten years have been, as long as I see this child, my heart will always be sweet.It's like after tasting the bitterness of the orange peel, there is always the sweetness of the pulp to soothe.

But tonight, why did the sweet flesh lose its familiar taste, and my mouth was full of the bitterness of orange peel.

That kid, don't remember him.

Why forget a person, can forget so simply, so thoroughly?

"Little one, you are so ruthless, just forget me like this." Long Ya murmured vaguely as her fingertips caressed the chubby little face in the photo, deep amber eyes filled with deep disappointment .

You forgot every day we got together, you forgot that you kept calling "brother, brother" after me every day, you forgot the day I left, you cried and chased the car and finally fell down.

Lowering her head, letting her dark green hair cover her lonely and sad face, Longya unwillingly picked up her cell phone and dialed Nanjiro's number.Hearing the familiar ruffian voice, he asked, "Dad, do you remember me?"

"Stinky boy, you're finally willing to call after you've been gone for ten years." With a slight smile, Nanjiro rubbed his messy hair, his eyes fell on the family photo on the low bedside cabinet. "I am your father, how could I forget you."

There was a slight smile on the corner of her lips, and her eyes lingered on the young man's small face. Long Ya smiled hoarsely: "But little one, forget about me."

Slightly startled, Nanjiro was silent for a moment, then laughed softly: "Ryoma had an accident before the national competition and lost his memory. Although he remembered it later, there may still be some memories missing."

"Really? I remembered everything else, but did you forget about me?" A deep laughter escaped from her lips, with a little bitterness, Longya sighed softly: "Dad, if you could have kept me back then, How nice it would be."

"Longya..." Frowning slightly, Nanjiro had an undisguised distress in his eyes, because of the laughter that concealed deep disappointment.Taking a deep breath, he smiled and said, "Go play tennis, let him recall the past."

"I will. Goodbye, Dad." Although he still couldn't let go, Long Ya felt a little encouraged by Nanjiro's explanation.His eyes rested on the palm of his hand again, he smiled slightly, and whispered to himself: "Little one, I will remind you of me."

On the other end of the phone, the moment Nanjiro hung up the phone, there was no smile on his face.Looking at the bright smiling faces of the two sons in the photo, helpless pain flickered between their brows.

Nanjiro didn't tell Longya that Ryoma, who was only four years old, would wake up crying every night in the month after he left; nor did he tell Longya how stubbornly Ryoma was after that month. Destroy all objects related to him, deliberately forget.

Even the only photo on the bedside was secretly kept by Lunzi without telling Ryoma.
