"But..." Her soft lips parted slightly, the ending of the word dragging out with unquestionable determination. She turned nimbly in his arms, holding his face in her hands, and gently caressing the area around his eyes with her fingertips.
"I'm here."
Those eyes that were always indifferent were now filled with seriousness, reflecting his stunned expression.
"No matter how bad your future is, as long as I'm here—" She gently kissed the corner of Gojo Satoru's eye, her tone firm, "it will definitely be the best future."
“Because I’m a genius.”
Her lips were soft and warm, like a light feather, gently falling on the corner of his eyes, her movements so gentle that they were almost pious.
Then, she kissed his nose slowly, each touch was carefully cherished. Her breathing was trembling, and she herself was holding her breath for this moment.
Finally, she pressed her lips against his, fitting perfectly. Her fingertips caressed his eyelids, and her voice was soft, almost possessive, with a tenderness that spoke: "Six Eyes... My Six Eyes."
Her whisper was like a sigh and also like an oath, and every syllable was soaked with unspeakable attachment.
"A hundred years from now, the Six Eyes will no longer be Gojo Satoru."
She only recognized Gojo Satoru.
These eyes only glowed when they were on him, attracting her gaze.
She reached out and pulled the stunned boy into her arms, running her fingertips through his soft hair and gently pressing his head against the crook of her neck. His breathing was a little rapid, and his warm breath brushed against her collarbone, causing a slight shiver.
She stroked his back again and again, her palms against his slightly tense spine, her strength gentle but firm, as if to soothe all his anxieties.
"Before you learn the reversal technique," she said in a soft voice, with her unique tolerance, "let me protect you for a while."
She tightened her arms and hugged Gojo Satoru even tighter, as if she wanted to knead him into her bones and blood.
"Try harder." Her lips pressed against his ear, unyielding. "Resist your fate."
"I will always stand by you."
No matter what choice you make, I will unconditionally support you.
…
The boy took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently as he tried to calm the throbbing that threatened to burst through his ribs. His fingers hanging at his side unconsciously clenched and unclenched, his knuckles turning a faint bluish-white.
"This..." His voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down before he could find his tone again. "Is this your belated confession?"
The last part of his voice trembled slightly, and he raised his eyes, his gaze flickering, looking at Hipper expectantly. He tried hard to suppress the curve of his mouth, but he couldn't hide the light in his eyes.
You never would have thought that someone who is usually reluctant to say a word more would be amazing when it comes to saying sweet words...
"Hmm?" The girl hummed softly and patted the top of his head. "Didn't I tell you that?"
When have you ever spoken so sweetly, a dull person like you?!
"No!" He would only speak briefly, shortening each sentence to a few words and never opening his mouth unless necessary. "Don't you know what's going on?"
The girl just blinked and looked back at him, neither denying nor explaining.
"It's not a confession, it's an agreement."
…
You might as well not have said that! Can't you just make me happy for a little while?
Fool!
Just like before, just a few words can stir up his mind, whether it is desire or anger.
Angry.
So obvious.
Feeling angry.
She reached out to poke him out of curiosity, but he turned his face away and refused to let her touch him.
"I'll talk to you when I'm no longer angry."
Even when she's angry she's so cute.
She couldn't help but smile and covered her mouth, which made Gojo Satoru dissatisfied.
"The next part is about love." Hipper pointed at the solar plexus and winked at him. "You have to recite the whole thing, okay?"
Cheated him again!!
This time, I can't be at a loss about what she says and act so concerned and happy.
Yet, his eyes still hinted at a hint of anticipation, silently urging her to speak quickly. He longed to hear words of love from his lover, to hear her express her affection and admiration for him. Before she even opened her mouth, her heartbeat was already unsteady.
I can't stop my imagination and can't suppress the smile on my face.
I really want to listen to it!
Seeing enough of his anticipation, Hipper took his hand, slipped her fingers into his and interlocked theirs.
"Since I was born, the stars have dimmed." She looked past the person in front of her and looked somewhere in the void, "I have never seen a truly bright star."
"Until December 7, 1989."
"Wu." Xipo called his name softly, twisting their clasped hands. "You are born."
Words alone couldn't describe her feelings, and at this moment, she wanted Gojo Satoru to see the world as she saw it.
"The world of genius, let's take a look together."
See what I see, get what I get.
"The field expands—"
The world before me suddenly collapsed, like a page crumpled by an invisible giant hand, shattering into crystalline dust. As the last ray of light faded into the vortex of nothingness, even the high-hanging sun and moon collapsed into a molten stream of gold and red, slowly dripping along the shattered cracks of time and space.
Only the ancient stars still moved, their cold light trails sometimes rising like new shoots breaking through the earth, sometimes falling like dead leaves. In this interval of silence, the girl's call penetrated the dust of time and space, carrying the chill of first melting snow, gently vibrating his eardrums.
"Simulated Universe."
"Open all permissions and start sharing mode."
As a developer in the field, Hipper's approach to simulating the universe was different from others. While others used the simplified version, or the visitor mode, hers was the beta version, or the GM mode.
After the authority was transferred as she instructed, a virtual screen emitting azure fluorescent light appeared in the real world, separating them.
The world loses all its colors, revealing its true appearance—everything within sight is constructed from data.
A message appeared on the virtual screen in front of me: [Are you sure you want to start the memory?]
A. Confirm
B. Confirmation
There is no option to refuse.
Behind these two options lies the only path to the world of genius.
Hipperto held his hand in the air and clicked the confirmation button for him.
"Take a closer look at the world in my eyes, and you in my eyes, how dazzling and brilliant you are."
The world shines because of you.
Her cheeks were still flushed, the effects of the medicine still spreading. Her eyes, reflecting the data stream, were filled with tiny glimmers. She looked at me so quietly, her gaze lingering and long.
This memory belonging to Hipper, which sealed the starry sky on December 7, 1989, now reappeared before his eyes.
The whole of Japan shrank beneath his feet into a miniature sea of lights, neon lights glittering like stars. The night sky above, however, was deadly and gray, with only a single crimson star hanging in the void, emitting an ominous blood-red halo that swallowed up all the surrounding stars.
That red star was Hipper—he was absolutely certain of it.
In the boundless loneliness, she took Gojo Satoru's hand and walked forward, walking under the starry sky and stepping on these cities.
"Once you've adapted to the darkness, suddenly seeing strong light will stimulate your tears." Hipper stopped under the red star, raised his hand and pointed to the starry sky in the southwest, shaking his arm to signal him to look up.
The moment he looked up, a blue star suddenly lit up. Its dazzling light dissipated the darkness, and the surrounding stars came to life, flickering faintly as if infused with life.
The blue star was so bright that it stung his eyes and made him cry. Only then did he suddenly realize that the star Hipper was pointing at was himself.
"Is it dazzling?" she whispered. "This light is what I saw when you came into the world."
From now on, your light will dominate the night sky—all the stars will dim, only you will shine brightly.
Time flows, memories flow. Since that year, the night sky has gradually become brighter with sparse stars. Although they are not as dazzling as the blue stars, they are no longer like the past - the eternal night without light.
The red star hangs high above Tokyo, the blue star shimmers in the night sky of Kyoto. One blazes like a flame, the other is as still as the abyss, gazing at each other from across the ages.
The girl spun around in the starlight, tiptoed to kiss his lips, and her smile melted into their intertwined breaths.
"You are the first star."
"You are the guiding light, the direction, and the beacon."
You are all light-seeking creatures, destined to fly into the flame of fire.
"Like a moth to a flame, I will never rest until I die." Hipper chuckled and stepped back from his lips. Her blue pupils were like a mirror, reflecting his face. "I wonder if I have the honor... to dwell in your glory forever?"
Two pairs of blue eyes met silently. His Adam's apple moved slightly, but the tremor silenced all words.
His lover's love was like a flood, and he was drowning in it, at a loss.
From the slight trembling of the man's eyebrows, the shivering of his fingertips, and even the flickering of his eyelashes, Hipper could sort out the information he wanted from these details.
Gojo Satoru's eyes and heartbeat, every tremor, was a silent response - OK.
His palms suddenly felt cold.
Lowering my eyes, my heart stopped beating——
A silver ring lay quietly between the lines of her palm, the ring loop endlessly rotating like a Möbius strip, still retaining her body temperature.
"If it brings you peace of mind..."
Before she finished speaking, the silver ring had already branded Gojo Satoru's ring finger. The warmth of her fingertips and the coolness of the metal were engraved into her blood.
"So that when you see it, you'll remember me." She smiled brightly, "Remember the person who put the ring on your finger, remember the person who—"
She stretched out her left hand, and on her ring finger was another wedding ring.
"The genius who made a promise with you."
"Like is too shallow, love is too profound." She took Gojo Satoru's hand holding the ring and kissed it. "Then let's be obsessed."
When the girl looked up, twisted stars welled up in her eyes. "I am completely fascinated by you."
This silver ring is a covenant, a key, and an edict—
The contract is branded into the blood, the key turns the door, and the decree resounds through every moving data in the simulated universe.
She invited Gojo Satoru once again, still madly and nonchalantly, "Want to join us? Let's turn the world upside down."
Their fingers fit tightly together, and the rings collided with each other, making a clear vibration - a resonance more precise than a heartbeat.
Just like the light streaks that burst out when the orbits of two stars resonate.
"The strongest and the genius—"
The boy's mouth corners were raised, his eyebrows were curved, and he was full of vigor and vitality.
"The two of us—"
A brilliant smile bloomed on the girl's face, and her eyes exploded with stars like the Milky Way pouring down.
“It’s the perfect match!”
