return trip

Ichigo’s room was arranged in the place closest to Rukia. Although the butler of the Kuchiki family looked serious, he was very enthusiastic about entertaining the guests. The servant who came to tidy up the room made the bed carefully and asked Ichigo if there was anything else. needs.Ichigo looked at the furnishings in the house, which seemed inconspicuous at first glance, but upon closer inspection, he knew that these things were of great value.She couldn't help feeling that the Kuchiki family was really rich.

That night, Byakuya sat on the main seat, with Rukia and Ichigo sitting on either side respectively. The butler folded his hands on his stomach, bowed to Byakuya, and then retreated through the front door and closed the paper door.

On the dining table, there was only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding lightly. Ichigo was used to the excitement at Haiyan's place, but he was not used to it for a while, so he couldn't help but adjust his kneeling posture, lowered his head and took a bite of the rice, and then looked up to find Byakuya in front of him. look at her.

Ichigo sped up his eating speed a little, thinking to himself that it should be over soon.Byakuya seemed to have finished eating. He put down the bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth. He naturally saw that Ichigo was impatient. According to her personality, eating with Haiyan would not be quiet. What to say, looking at it this way, the two really look alike.

"If you don't find it troublesome, you can have food delivered to your room." Bai Zai said.

Ichigo couldn't help asking for it, he couldn't help jumping up and said: "Really?"

Rukia swallowed the rice, covered her face and suppressed a smile.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, it seems that you are very unwilling to eat with me." Byakuya stood up and looked down at her.

Ichigo muttered: "Who would want it, really..."

This sentence was naturally heard by Byakuya, he felt his chest suffocated in vain, and finally only took one look at Ichigo, and opened the paper door under the moonlight, leaving only Ichigo and Rukia behind.

Rukia put down her chopsticks and winked at Ichigo: "Ichigo, you are the only one who can make big brother look like this."

Resting his chin on his hand, he said depressedly: "What I just said was the truth, Bai Zai must have seen it himself, it's too strange to lie."

Rukia clenched her fists and coughed twice, and said seriously, "You know, even a man like Big Brother sometimes wants to hear something different."

"Okay, okay," Ichigo yawned, "Then you talk to Byakuya."

Rukia shook her index finger: "Only you can say." She stared at Ichigo and suddenly realized a problem.She walked around the table to Ichigo's side, and looked at her: "Ichigo, you can't feel it at all, can you?"

"Feel what?" Ichigo folded his hands on his lap and looked at Rukia suspiciously.

"Do you feel that brother has changed recently?"

Putting his fingers on his chin as if thinking, "It seems that I am not as arrogant as the first time we met."

"Idiot Ichigo, how can you say that about big brother!" Lu Qiya immediately retorted, and quickly realized that Ichigo didn't understand her meaning at all, and she herself has no experience in this area, let alone remind others of it It's all about it, she said cryptically, "In short, elder brother is a very, very good man."

Ichigo has heard a lot of praises from her, and he has long been used to it, and rebuttals will only make her continue to talk a lot, so he just follows her words and saves trouble: "Okay, Byakuya is That kind of people."

Lucia only thought she had heard it, and felt honored in her heart, put her hands on her hips and said, "That's it."

Bai Zai who hadn't left at the door stopped, and he heard a few words of their conversation, his chest throbbing made a muffled sound, and disappeared into the melting moonlight in a blink of an eye.

In the early morning of the next day, Ichigo had developed the habit of getting up early, and he couldn't change it for a while. He was about to go out for a walk, and the maid who had been waiting at the door got her permission and came in to help her tidy up. When she got dressed, considering that she was still recovering from her injuries, she just put a light and loose bathrobe on her and simply combed her hair.With people under the eaves, Ichigo couldn't refuse too much, so he just let them toss.

The maid was very satisfied with her results, and adjusted the neckline for Ichigo, and couldn't help but say a few more words: "The material of this dress was specially selected by Kuchiki-sama, and it feels as comfortable as running water."

Ichigo felt deeply, she thought of Byakuya's cold face, even so, she was really careful in these matters.

"Thank you."

The leading maid bowed down in trepidation and withdrew accordingly: "Miss Ichigo is serious, this is what we should do."

Both Haiyan and Zhibo were worried that she was not used to resting at Kuchiki's house, so they came to visit Ichigo after breakfast.

"Ichigo, is your body feeling better?" Shiba asked softly.

Ichigo nodded: "It will be fine soon."

Haiyan patted her on the head: "Anyway, we should rest for two more days."

"By the way, Haiyan, can I ask you something?" Ichigo asked.

Seeing that she was injured, Haiyan felt a little guilty in her heart, and naturally responded to her request: "It's okay, let's talk, Ichigo."

"About Aizen's letter, I was a little curious when I heard it from Himori. I wonder if I can borrow it." Ichigo recalled all the encounters with Aizen before, and he seemed to have no privacy in front of the other party. It can be said that his eyes seem to have insight into everything, and he can see everything about her.Although the credibility of that letter is not high, but in any case, I want to know what kind of content will make Chisenmo misunderstand to such an extent.

"Well, it's not difficult. I'll ask Captain Fuzhu and Chief Captain to mention this matter." Haiyan agreed without hesitation.

There were soft footsteps outside the door, and Haiyan didn't need to guess who was coming.

"Haiyan took the first step, Captain, it's all your fault. If you didn't walk so slowly, we must be the first ones to see Ichigo." Before Matsumoto entered the door, the voice of complaint came first.

Dongshiro looked at her speechlessly: "You are the one who procrastinates, Matsumoto."

"Hey, that's making careful preparations for going out, how can you say it's procrastination, the captain is too good."

"Whatever you say."

Several people said hello to each other, the room was big enough to accommodate them without seeming crowded.

Ichigo asked Toshiro, "Is Hina Mori okay?"

Dong Shilang was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that the first question she asked would be about Chu Sen.She was still wearing bandages, which were wrapped around her body, making her look too thin. Dongshiro lowered her voice: "She's fine, but you are, are you okay?"

"It's fine, me? Of course I'm fine," Ichigo looked at his eyebrows that were close together. He heard that he and Chisentao had a good relationship, and it must have troubled his brain because of this incident, so he continued, "You also Don't blame yourself too much, no one thought that things would turn out like this. There is one more thing I didn't have time to say before, Dongshiro looks very stable, very reassuring."

"You... are really an idiot," Dongshiro has been able to see what kind of person she is during the short time he spends with her. She always wants to protect the people around her, and even has kindness towards strangers.He smiled slightly, his eyes firm, "Also, don't call me Toshiro, call me Captain Hitsugaya."

"After all, it was my uncle's choice... Cough cough, my throat suddenly hurts, cough cough cough." Haiyan covered her mouth and started to pretend to cough, Zhibo patted him on the back with concern, Matsumoto was keenly aware of the meaning behind his words Meaning, judging by his reaction, he definitely hasn't told Ichigo the truth yet.

Matsumoto leaned over to Shibato and asked, "Have you not told Ichigo about this yet?"

Zhibo let go of Haiyan, smiled and shook his head.

Toshiro frowned slightly, his emerald eyes were as clear as pools of water, he moved his sitting position, and nodded to Ichigo: "Anyway, thank you for forgiving Hina."

Haiyan and Matsumoto turned their backs, and whispered: "When Yihu returns to the [-]th Division, I will personally tell her about it. How do you think she will react?"

Ichigo pricked up his ears to listen to what they were talking about in a low voice, and seemed to hear his own name, she made a gesture of silence to Toshiro, Shiba even looked at her dotingly, and didn't intend to expose her.Ichigo crept up behind the two of them, covered his mouth and nose with his hands so as not to make a sound, and leaned closer to listen to what they were talking about.

Seeing her like this, Shiro Dong thought it was funny again, with Matsumoto and Haiyan's vigilance, they must have spotted her a long time ago, and they still don't know what to say to punish her.

"Haiyan, actually, I think there is a more suitable candidate than Bai Zai." Matsumoto held the hot tea in his hand, took a sip and began to dislike the strong tea taste, Bai Zai's taste.

Haiyan continued following her topic, and Ichigo was still wondering about the candidate, and his face was almost pressed between the two of them, when Haiyan continued to ask: "That depends on whether Ichigo is willing or not." Ichigo glanced at Haiyan , looked at Matsumoto again, why would you like it or not?

Matsumoto is full of confidence: "Our captain is definitely a reliable person that Ichigo can entrust, and Ichigo can be assured that he will come to the [-]th squad."

This sentence made Ichigo's jaw drop in surprise, she looked at Toshiro reflexively, the man walked up to Matsumoto with folded arms in annoyance, and reprimanded: "Matsumoto!"

Matsumoto pretended not to hear, and said with a smile: "Captain, you look like you are enjoying it."

Toshiro felt that his head was too big, and it was pointless to argue with her, so he sat next to Shibazu and stopped participating in their conversation.Zhibo nodded to him, she is an extremely wise woman, Dongshiro knows this well.Shiba said softly, "Captain Hitsugaya, although it's rude to say this, you do look a little happy."

"……"yes.

Matsumoto joined in the fun and continued to add fuel to the fire: "Captain, your ears are red."

Toshiro sighed, and said to Ichigo, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Ichigo waved his hands, resting his hands on his head, and laughed at Toshirō's rare embarrassment: "That's what he looks like, Toshirō—I made a mistake again, it's Captain Hitsugaya!"

The smile is probably really contagious. In this room, Shiro Dong was filled with a little joy in his heart, which diluted a lot of the displeasure, anger, and helplessness brought about by these days.

"Ichigo, those were just jokes, don't take it to heart," Haiyan immediately clarified with Ichigo after the joking time with Matsumoto was over, "After all, Ichigo is still young, and we have plenty of opportunities to choose slowly. Don't worry too much."

"But speaking of it, has Ichigo ever had a boyfriend?" Matsumoto asked.

Haiyan looked at Ichigo eagerly upon hearing this, the other three people in the room also looked at her, Ichigo wiped his sweat silently: "No."

"Great, then our captain will have a better chance. Then both of us will have a beautiful first love." Matsumoto said happily.

"Although this is not something to be happy about, it somehow makes people feel at ease." Haiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's also very strange to say this. A cute child like Ichigo is still alone. It's very suspicious." Zhibo expressed his opinion.

Haiyan suddenly became nervous: "Ichigo, you won't hide something, will you?"

"Stupid Haiyan, I'm really annoying. Well, let me think about it, there were indeed some weird people in the school who said they wanted to fight with me, but every time they made an appointment at a cafe or something like that."

"Then you shouldn't have gone?"

"Of course I didn't go. After I had a fight with them at school, I never bothered me again."

The corner of Haiyan's mouth twitched: "It's really your style."

The author has something to say: I found out that I wrote a short extra car for Pu Yi before... I suddenly found it, and it was so obscure that there were almost no cars. I will pick a time to see if I can post it. If not, emmm, let’s talk qwq
