"Izumi, do you still remember what you promised me? Are you still not coming back?"
On the phone, Bai Shijing's voice sounded a little resentful.
"Sister, I...hiss!"
"Huh? What sound?"
"Ah, um, um... I accidentally touched my toe, it hurts a bit..."
"Why are you still acting like a child? Seriously. Be careful."
"I will always be a child in front of my sister."
"Yeah, that's right." Bai Shijing nodded in agreement first, and then asked: "I don't care, anyway, you have to come back before the exam, otherwise, I will ignore you. Hum!"
Hearing this question, Izumi Toru did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and looked at Jinguji Kiyohime.
He turned on the speakerphone, so Jinguji Kiyohime could hear it.
At this moment, Jinguji Kiyohime could not speak, so she could only express her agreement with a few words.
Izumi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He reached out his hand and gently stroked Jinguji Kiyohime's hair, and after a while he answered:
"Okay, I will go back."
"Well, that's settled then."
Bai Shijing hung up the phone.
The next moment, Izumi Tetsu suddenly pushed Jinguji Kiyohime down on the bed.
Facing his wolf-like appearance, the girl giggled.
However, the smile on her face was quickly replaced by another expression.
In order to punish the girl for deliberately teasing him while he was answering the phone, Izumi Toru did not show mercy to her.
Jinguji Kiyohime frowned, bit her lip, and looked at Izumi Tooru pitifully.
She wanted to open her mouth to plead, but she couldn't say anything except a muffled moan.
The small boat swaying in the stormy waves was finally swallowed by the sea.
The girl's thoughts sank into the silent bottomless sea, and her soul wandered back in the warm water.
Think nothing, think of nothing.
Izumi Toru held his face with one hand, lying on his side, admiring the girl's peach-like face at this moment.
Fingers gently caressed her satin-like shoulders.
Jinguji Kiyohime, who had been in a daze for a long time, finally recovered.
She turned her head, mouth closed, with an expression of grievance and complaint.
"My lord husband, you, you bully people~"
Izumi Toru touched her puckered lips with his finger and said, "Kiyohime, you are getting cuter and cuter now."
"Humph, you would say something like this, I'm angry!"
Jinguji Kiyohime seemed to want to pretend to be angry to scare him, but the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.
Izumi Toru slid his fingers to her chin, raised it slightly, and then kissed her.
The girl put her hands on his shoulders cooperatively and closed her eyes.
After the kiss ended, Jinguji Kiyohime slowly opened her watery eyes.
"My lord husband."
"Um?"
"I, like the way you looked just now."
Izumi Tetsu was stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but become excited.
"What kind of look?"
"Oh, that's it..."
The girl was a little embarrassed, so she put her head into his arms and hid.
But Izumi Toru didn't intend to let her go just like that.
He half forcefully raised Jinguji Kiyohime's face and stared into her shy eyes.
"Qingji, what did you say just now? I care about it very much. What do you like about me? Hmm?"
"...It's just...it feels like I want to die like that...I like it..."
Forced by Izumi Toru to say embarrassing words, the girl covered her face and was about to cry.
However, she still said it.
"Dead?"
Izumi Toru repeated this sentence, always feeling that there was a shadow lingering in his heart.
He obviously loved Jinguji Kiyohime every day and lived in this warm world of two people like a real couple, but he felt that Jinguji Kiyohime was becoming more and more urgent.
He thought again of the girl's request that night in Hakone.
[My husband, please kill me like this...]
"Qing Ji."
Jinguji Kiyohime found that Izumi Toru's voice was a bit dull, which surprised her.
Putting down the hands covering her face, she looked at him with a strange expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Will you be happy if you die in my hands?"
The girl was stunned for a moment.
Then, she put her arms around his waist and rubbed her face against his chest.
"If your husband is in pain, I will not be happy."
"……Um."
"Um."
Jinguji Kiyohime did not answer directly, but Izumi Toru had already heard her hidden meaning.
In other words, if it weren't for the pain it would cause Izumi Toru, she would have felt happy to die in his hands.
But why?
Why are you in such a hurry?
His hand was slowly stroking her hair. Suddenly, he seemed to have touched something and his hand paused.
Lowering his head gently, Izumi Toru discovered that there were two more long hairs in his hands.
The hair in her hand glowed with an abnormal yellow color.
Just like the ginkgo leaves piled up in the yard, they have lost their original freshness.
This is……
Jinguji Kiyohime nestled in Izumi Toru's arms with a happy smile on her face.
Although the girl had to pay a huge price for this moment of happiness, she had no regrets.
She wants the warmth of the present more than the future that is too far away to see clearly.
Moreover, in this way, her status in his heart must be higher than that of Igarashi Mika.
When she thought of this, she felt extremely satisfied.
Yuhua, this is the only one I want.
sorry.
When the girl was feeling proud, Izumi Toru shook her shoulders.
"Qing Ji."
"Um?"
"You are a little dirty, go take a shower."
Following the direction of Izumi Toru's finger, Jinguji Kiyohime looked down and her face turned red.
The delicate belly button has a large area...
She hurriedly climbed up pressing Izumi Tetsu's chest, then jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I hate it!"
"hey-hey……"
The proud and arrogant laughter of Izumi Tetsu behind her made her face even hotter.
When the girl's back disappeared from the bathroom, Izumi Toru's smile faded.
Through the frosted glass, he glanced at the shaking figure, and then moved his gaze to the girl's dressing table.
Every morning, the girl would dress up there for a while.
Moreover, when Izumi Toru wanted to admire it, she used various reasons to drive him away.
Could it be that there are more secrets hidden there?
He actually didn't want to pry into the girl's deliberately hidden secret, but if this secret was related to the future of the two of them, that would be another matter.
Opening the drawer of Jinguji Kiyohime's dressing table, Izumi Toru found an unlocked box inside.
This seems to mean that Jinguji Kiyohime is waiting for Izumi Toru to open the box and discover her secret.
With tension and uneasiness, Izumi Toru opened the box carefully.
A large ball of hair lay quietly inside, like a weed that had lost its life.
Something was flowing out of his body, and he felt a little cold.
