Blue Files, there are 100 days left until Mr. disappears

"Hoshino!!"

He rushed forward quickly, even though his steps were a little shaky and he almost tripped to the ground due to his staggering movements, he still ran forward.

The husband held his breath and stared deeply at Hoshino's face, making her feel a little uncomfortable:

"Ah... Sir... your eyes are a bit scary..."

After a while, he let out a trembling breath as if he had been forgiven.

Even though his head was still dizzy and swollen, Mr.'s moving lips and trembling hands could no longer be contained or stopped...

"Hoshino..."

He whispered her name, stretched out his hand, gently held Hoshino's waist, and let her chin rest on his shoulder.

The long-lost warmth in his arms seemed to condense the greedy laziness in the bed on winter mornings, like an airless greenhouse. The stuffy heat was mixed with nostalgia, making him just want to close his eyes and stop caring about the world.

"Sir, you suddenly become so enthusiastic when you come up, hahaha..."

Kotori Yu Hoshino smiled awkwardly and scratched his cheek with his index finger, but his face was as red as cooked shrimp.

The two temples beside her ears swayed gently in the wind, causing ripples in the girl's heart.

"Sir, sir... If you keep hugging me like this, uncle, I will be a little embarrassed..."

The girl continued to argue incoherently, but her voice became smaller and smaller, until it was as thin as a gnat.

I don't know where the strength came from, but the husband's arms still wrapped around her waist and wouldn't let go.

Hoshino couldn't see her husband's expression, but they were connected. The guilt, cherishment and fear of her disappearing again in his heart were all clearly conveyed to her.

Hoshino lowered his head, a sad smile flashed across his face:

"I'm worrying you, sir."

"No more words, no more words... As long as you can come back, everything will be fine."

This is good, Hoshino thought.

She really didn't know how to face her husband,

Even as smart as she is, she can't find a topic to talk about for a while.

And today's husband, uncharacteristically, did not suppress his feelings, holding her in his arms and refusing to let go.

On the contrary, Akane Kuromi stood silently behind her husband, staring at Hoshino intently.

Having her younger brother see through her little thoughts and being held tightly by her sweetheart, Kotori Yuxingye felt hot all over. If she stayed there for one more second, she felt like her cheeks were going to burn.

Hoshino pursed his lips.

Even in the hospital bed, even in front of my beloved descendants,

But for everything about my husband, after experiencing the great difficulties of life and death, and witnessing his crazy actions to save me at the expense of his life,

She couldn't suppress or hide everything about her husband, and her heartbeat accelerated.

Take a deep breath.

Hoshino raised his head and saw Baizi and the others rushing towards the door.

Facing the worried juniors, she raised a gentle smile:

"Well...how should I say...I'm back."

"Senior Hoshino!!!"

The girls behind him exclaimed in unison, making Mr.'s back feel warm with the smiles and tears that were about to overflow.

The husband wisely released his arms around Hoshino and retreated to the corner.

He crossed his arms and smiled, letting the little bird swim in the starry field, and was overwhelmed by the lovely juniors who were crying with joy.

"Senior Hoshino, oh, I, I thought I would never see you again..."

"You will no longer be allowed to act without permission in the future, senior... you must at least discuss it with us!"

Smiles, tears, hugs, preaching,

Countless warm things and beautiful memories are like a torrent, flowing over the head of Xiaoniao Yuxingye.

The little body that had just woken up from a deep sleep could not withstand such a passionate scene.

"Sir... I feel so uncomfortable... I can't breathe..."

Kotori Yu Hoshino, who was pinned down by Shiroko and Akane, reached out to his husband in great embarrassment for help.

The gentleman smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Speaking of which, Hoshino-san, this is the second time you've decided to solve something alone without consulting us, right?"

Hoshino read the gentleman's mouth shape with his eyes, and his face suddenly turned pale:

"That's what I said, but there was nothing I could do at that time, sir..."

"Look at how worried they are. Don't you understand the consequences of leaving without saying goodbye? There is no need to say more. Just enjoy your 'punishment', Hoshino-san."

"Woo~"

Hoshino lowered his head as if resigned to his fate, and then the entire wooden bed was almost crushed by the children of the Countermeasures Committee.

Like chicks longing for a bird's nest, the juniors hugged Hoshino tightly and tried their best to burrow into her not-so-wide arms, causing Hoshino's face to turn red and white, and he didn't know what to say.

Hoshino indulged in this warmth that was so crowded that it made people breathless, and never wanted to leave.

"Okay, okay... don't cry, uncle, I am also easily affected by emotions..."

Hoshino muttered to himself.

During her days in Abydos, she had endured a long period of loneliness, so long that she thought her heart was as solid as stone and would not cause any more disturbances.

It wasn't until this group of warm juniors broke into her life that her frostbitten heart began to slowly melt.

Many persistences that they think are unbreakable are always melted completely in silent places.

When Hoshino volunteered to sacrifice his life so that they would no longer be troubled by debt, she realized belatedly how much weight these lovely juniors held in her heart.

Just as she had never thought that her husband would fall, she also could not imagine a little bird Yu Xingye who would no longer devote himself unreservedly to his descendants.

The bond in front of her that she thought was fate or fate,

After struggling and twisting and turning, no one can leave anyone behind.

The sacrifice that was staged twice was her foolish and hopeless attempt to cut off this bond so that she could walk alone without any worries——

The desire for self-destruction hidden in her heart, in the name of noble sacrifice, constantly gnawed at her vitality and belief in life, and finally pushed her supposedly warm heart into the darkness isolated from the world.

Then he was dragged back with all his strength by his husband and juniors.

There are too many things that Xiaotiao Yuxingye can't figure out himself.

She once thought that she knew her juniors fairly well, and she would always add a few words of emotion to her husband when he was working until midnight.

But now, she finally realized it.

She is powerless to comment on her husband, her descendants, their past and the path they will take, let alone change it.

"Hoshino-senpai is not allowed to leave anymore! Even if I have to fire on you, I will wake you up!"

Akane cried the loudest, clutching the collar of the little bird Yu Hoshino and refusing to let go.

Hoshino smiled lightly, a look of gloom and regret flashed in his eyes:

"Okay, uncle, I've realized my mistake, and I won't do anything stupid like leaving without saying goodbye again~"

She gently stroked Kuromi Akane's head, her eyes filled with indescribable tenderness.

With thoughts swirling around him, Hoshino raised his head and looked at the somewhat deserted corner.

The husband was still standing two or three meters away from her, with his arms folded, leaning against the corner with his eyes closed and concentrating, his eyelashes fluttering, fluttering up and down with the calm rhythm of his breathing.

For some reason, even though she knew her husband didn't stay away from her on purpose, seeing his silhouette reflected on the white wall, Hoshino still felt a sense of bitterness in his heart.

Just because Hoshino is very similar to her husband, she will understand——

Sir, he is a person who is more accustomed to being alone than she is.

Hoshino pursed his lips and closed his eyes tightly.

After a while, she breathed out gently, looked at Qianxiang's eyes still filled with tears, and said softly:

"I want to talk to sir for a while. I'm really sorry...can you give us some space?"

"I promise, I won't do anything weird."

Chapter 043: Day 058·Odyssey Ocean Academy④

"Snapped"

The door of the infirmary was forcefully closed behind the husband, bringing with it a gust of lonely wind.

Although Baizi and Akane had their doubts, Hoshino's persistence and the serious look on her face showed that her plea to talk to her husband alone was serious.

So they left a private space for Hoshino without hesitation.

The lively atmosphere in the room fell silent again, and the restless hot air also dissipated without a trace as they left.

Hoshino sat upright on the bed, holding a corner of the down pillow with his slender fingers. He smiled sweetly at the corner of his mouth, but the enthusiasm in his eyes dimmed, making it impossible for his husband to see what she was thinking.

The gentleman couldn't help but touch his cheek.

He still remembered that day when Bai Zi slapped Hoshino hard in the face because of the siege.

That slap made his face immediately swell, but the guilt in his heart was shamelessly relieved.

He sometimes thought that if Bai Zi hadn't insisted on seeking an explanation from him, the guilt in his heart would never have been resolved or even alleviated.

During the year he met them, he always tried his best to provide them with the most adequate material protection.

But he tried to care about the delicate and sensitive hearts of girls, but in the end he found that he still knew too little about them.

They were brave, kind, and exuded youthful vitality in every gesture. Compared with people like him who were born in darkness, they were simply flowers growing in a different world.

It is precisely because the teacher understands that this world is not perfect, so his actions often exceed the students' expectations. He always intends to use his own strength to carry away all the darkness that they cannot see, so that the students can be free and happy with the sunshine all over their bodies. bloom.

However, they were also watching him and worrying about him.

Until even the joy, anger, sorrow and joy were allowed to be arbitrarily affected by his state.

Growth is a ridiculous siege.

People inside are desperately trying to get out, and people outside are desperately trying to get in.

The teacher and Hoshino are both guardians who take care of the children of Abydos, and the two of them are bound to have more in common than the other children and the teacher.

But now that I think about it, it seems that he never had a good conversation with Hoshino.

Take a break from the busy schedule in the old school building, visit the aquarium, and buy her favorite whale pillow...

They share each other's happiness and joy,

But regarding the darkness lurking deep in their hearts, both Mr. and Hoshino tacitly concealed it from each other, neither letting each other see it, nor asking each other to get into it.

but,

When the two of them were alone in this suffocatingly silent infirmary, this unspoken non-aggression pact had come to an end.

"Sir~"

Hoshino suddenly called him with a sweet voice.

The gentleman opened his eyes and looked towards the bed.

The pink-haired girl stared at him with a smile, her eyes narrowed into a thin line.

Then he raised the pillow in his hand,

"Snapped!"

He slapped the gentleman hard in the face.

The piercing sound of the wind, carried by the girl's delicious body fragrance, hit her face. Apart from her nose being a little sore and numb, it was not a particularly embarrassing experience.

The gentleman blinked awkwardly, took the pillow off his face, and hugged it to his chest.

Hoshino lowered his head, his smile still undiminished, but her small shoulders were trembling at the moment, as if even breathing was a luxury.
