The two walked out of the community side by side, and the ground was already clean and white.
"You haven't been in a good mood today," Kasugawa Shugo spoke first to break the silence. He exhaled and brought the person who had been staring at the snowflakes back to his senses, "Because of that man in the morning?"
"Well..." The answer was a little vague, Tsukiyama Chaoli avoided his sight and muttered, "I don't know why, I feel that the other person is very close... I can't describe the feeling, it's just like... It's the same feeling when I first saw you and Xiao Wu."
The young man's mandarin orange eyes were stained with a smile, "I have this feeling too, and this feeling is very accurate, isn't it? Aren't we like a family now?"
In fact, the word family is not accurate. Sometimes he even feels that he can hear the thoughts of the other two people, a strange sense of connection, as if he has a soul.
"And that's it," Tsukiyama Asari laughed at the word "family", his black hair half wet from the snow along the way, but he didn't care. He took out his own coins and pulled out a photo from the pocket, "Look at this... doesn't it look a bit like her?"
It was an old photo, and because it was often touched, the face was a little blurry, but you could still see that he had black hair, and his eyes were not a bright color.
"Yes, there are some. Have you been thinking about this today?"
"Well, after all, I have heard my parents say since I was a child..." Tsukiyama Asari bit his lip and then sighed, "But he should be over 30 years old, and that person looks very young, only in his early twenties."
He cares about this matter a lot, even though he has never been with this relative he has never met.
Kasugawa Shugo did not say this, but Tsukiyama Asari seemed to have heard it and responded, "Of course I care. Mom and Dad have been looking for him for so many years. If we can really find him, it can be regarded as fulfilling their last wish." As
he was talking, he suddenly felt a strong gaze from the side. Kasugawa Shugo was staring at him motionlessly.
"...What's wrong?" Both of them stopped.
"Nothing, I just feel," he retracted his gaze and put his hand on the shoulder of the man who was much shorter than him, "Chao Li has really grown up."
He can now calmly talk about things that he used to avoid.
"What?" Tsukiyama Chaoli stretched out his hand to push him away, but failed. The other party came closer relentlessly and said earnestly in his ear, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you find him."
"...Don't make such a big promise easily, future police officer," Tsukiyama Chaoli's breath was blown to his neck as he spoke. He felt itchy and dodged to the side with a smile, "What if you don't find him, it will be just bragging."
"You will definitely find him--" Kasugawa Shugo let go of the boy who kept shrinking to the side, and the smile retreated from his mouth. He pursed his lips, his expression serious, "Believe me."
"Yeah, of course I will believe you."
After saying that, the boy who always liked to express his feelings directly was a little embarrassed. He turned his head away, "If you don't go get the express, the store will be closed."
"Oh no-" Kasugawa Shugo looked at the time on his phone screen, and was horrified. He pulled the man and ran to the nearby express station, "Only five minutes left-"
As expected, this man was still a big idiot, and he couldn't be serious for a few seconds.
After being dragged along and picking up the express, Tsukiyama Asari leaned against the door of the express station and panted slightly, while Kasugawa Shugo stared at the box in his hand and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"This is for you," the other party held up the express box with a surprised expression, "and it wasn't sent by mail. Someone delivered it to us when we were at the amusement park in the afternoon. They said they were going to give it to you directly, but no one was at home, so they asked the staff at the express station to keep it for you."
"What does that person look like?"
"I asked, and the staff said that the box was placed on the table when they were organizing the express rack," seeing the other party's expression, Kasugawa Shugo added helplessly, "The surveillance at the service desk broke down at noon and can't be checked."
"..."
Tsukiyama rolled his Adam's apple up and down and spoke with difficulty, "Do you feel that this is very similar to... the beginning of a horror movie, a mysterious and unknown express delivery, maybe there is something cursed inside..."
"Stop talking," Kasugawa Shugo shuddered along with him, and reached out to cover the mouth of the man who was still speaking with a strong sense of déjà vu, "Open it here, if it's something weird, just throw it away."
"I opened it."
The box felt very good. It was obviously a black box, but it shone under the light. Maybe it was because of the gold powder mixed in the paper pulp, so the area was not large. He opened it and first saw a dagger shining with cold light.
"&*%#@!" Tsukiyama shook his hand inside, letting the thing inside and the snow hug each other warmly.
"Have you offended any bitch recently?!" It was Kasugawa Shugo who reacted first and dug out the dagger from the snow. "Which bitch is so rich that he would threaten someone to send him such a good dagger."
He had learned about related cold weapons when he looked up information, and recognized the knife at a glance. It was very good. Both the shape and the gloss were completely different from those that could be bought in the store. The blood groove was very deep and the blade was sharp. It must have seen blood.
"This is," Tsukiyama Asari's focus was on the other side. When he knocked over the box, he saw a piece of paper flying out. He took a few steps forward to pick it up and turned to the side where the words were written. "Saibei Yun... keep it well..."
Holding the dagger carefully, the young man leaned over to look at the paper. "Is this all you wrote?"
"Yes, that's it. Is this its name?"
Tsukiyama Asari stretched out a finger and carefully touched the surface of the dagger. "It turns out that the dagger also has a name."
"Well, many people will name their weapons," Kasugawa Shugo narrowed his eyes and chewed on these words. "This name sounds like it has some origins in China... What are you going to do with it?"
"Take it home."
"Ah?!" Kasugawa Shugo almost slipped and he poked the other person's head with his free hand. "Do you know why so many people die in horror movies?"
"Because there are people like you who are good at seeking death by bringing everything home."
"But," Tsukiyama Asari displayed his rhetoric skills, "its name is so elegant, it should not want to be associated with horror movies, and it looks so polite."
...
The 1.80-meter-tall man opened and closed his mouth, with no idea where to start complaining about this sentence. In the end, he actually let the other party put the dagger and the note in a box and took it home.
"I'm telling you, Tsukiyama Asari," before entering the room, Kasugawa Shugo gritted his teeth and whispered the other's full name, "If I really become the male supporting actor in a horror movie, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."
"Don't worry,
don't worry--" "Hold the black box away, it looks unlucky when it's dark."
"My hair is black too..."
"No, can these two be lump together?!"
Downstairs in the apartment, the black-haired man looked at the warm yellow light that had never been extinguished, and threw the cigarette that had long been extinguished into the area in the middle of the trash can where cigarette butts were specially placed.
I clearly said I would quit smoking.
The snow seemed to be stopping soon, and I should go back.
The dagger in the sleeve of my wrist was pressed against my skin through a layer of protection, and Yutani Mia moved her fingers slightly.
I'm sorry, I sent your brother out, don't blame me.
I really like writing about the relationship between Asari and Shugo. When the two of them are together, it feels like the gentle Asari becomes childish, and the noisy Shugo becomes gentle.
No prize for guessing the name of the other dagger.
