"Wh... what?" Hearing Xia Kong's words,

Sasada Tsunayoshi looked puzzled.

？

He recalled the situation when he came here earlier,

He asked again with uncertainty. "Don't joke around."

Seeing that he seemed to find it difficult to accept the truth, Xia Kong's eyes dimmed,

She turned her body to look at the lake,

She didn't say anything else.

Sawada Tsunayoshi frowned and didn't say anything else.

After a long time,

He couldn't stand the gloomy atmosphere of having someone beside him but not talking. Sawada Tsunayoshi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to eat persimmons?"

Xia Kong raised her head and glanced at Sawada Tsunayoshi,

She could see the nervousness in his brown eyes,

Then, he gently nodded his head.

"Then, then wait for me, I'll get it for you." Sawada Tsunayoshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief,

He ran to the house he had just pointed at.

It wasn't far away,

The persimmons were also placed in the yard to dry.

He took two from the shelf,

When he turned around, he found Xia Kong standing behind him.

After being shocked for a moment, Sawada Tsunayoshi quickly calmed down and handed over a bigger persimmon.

Noticing the difference in size,

Xia Kong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Perhaps it was because..,

Even if Sawada Tsunayoshi lost his memory, he still didn't change much.

"In the past, when I went to your house as a guest, you would also give me the bigger or more portion." She smiled wistfully,

She took the persimmon and told him about the past, "You also often brought me lunch boxes and bought me candy."

The small details that he didn't think much of when he experienced it were clear and touching now that he thought about it.

Therefore, when she told him, there was a warm light in her eyes.

— — It was a very attractive light.

Perhaps what she said was true.

Sawada Tsunayoshi thought so, clenched his fists slightly, and pleaded, "Um... please tell me more about what happened before."

This request made Xia Kong very happy.

She started from the beginning of their encounter.

Sawada Tsunayoshi listened attentively. He didn't take a single bite of the persimmon in his hand.

After listening, he stared at Xia Kong's face and asked curiously, "What happened after you arrived in Italy?

Haven't we kept in touch? "

"There is."

Speaking of their contact after Italy, Xia Kong's voice became downcast. "You called me on your birthday … We even agreed that you would pick me up at the airport."

After speaking, she thought of Sawada Tsunayoshi lying on the hospital bed and paused for a moment, "In the end, they actually saw you in the hospital … Auntie Sawada and Uncle were very sad."

— Sawada Tsunayoshi, whose breathing was weak and lifeless, and Sawada Tsunayoshi, whose eyes were wide open and had forgotten everything.

Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. Xia Kong lowered her head and let the bangs on her forehead block her vision.

Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes trembled. When he saw the water drop onto the persimmon in Xia Kong's hand, he was stunned.

She … cried?

Realizing this, Sawada Tsunayoshi, who came back to his senses, ignored the strange pain in his chest, and said in a panic, "Ah … that, Xia Kong, don't … I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"Ah Gang, are you an idiot?"

Hearing her trembling voice, Xia Kong bit her lip and tried her best to suppress the sour feeling in her nose. She grabbed the only thing in her hand.

The wet persimmons were oozing juice, staining the hem of her dress.

"Stop … it'll be hard to wash the clothes like this … Ah, no." What nonsense am I talking about?!

Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was flustered, held his head and complained about his stupidity.

Wait, now is not the time to complain!

Although he tried his best to think of what to do, his mind was still blank.

Sawada Tsunayoshi subconsciously grabbed Xia Kong's hand and stopped her.

There was nothing in her hand to use, but she was covered by warmth.

Xia Kong looked up at Sawada Tsunayoshi, her dark eyes full of panic.

… I'm so sad.

… I don't want to have this kind of emotion. This uncontrollable weakness will make a person strange.

"Let go …" After saying weakly, Xia Kong tried to break free.

However, Sawada Tsunayoshi held her even tighter.

"I'll remember …" He looked at Xia Kong and promised seriously, "So … so, please don't cry.

I … don't want to see you cry. "

The boy who used to look away first when they looked at each other suddenly didn't do that. Xia Kong was not used to being stared at by his brown eyes.

She tilted her head, wiped her eyes, and said stubbornly, "You're mistaken, I'm not crying."

The obvious cover-up made Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had just expressed his feelings, open his mouth and let out an "ah" in a daze.

Then, he let go of his hand and whispered, "Anyway … as long as you don't cry …"

This made him feel much better.

Sawada Tsunayoshi breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, Xia Kong's voice sounded in his ear, "So, have you decided to go back with me?"

He tilted his head and caught a glimpse of the girl's faint smile.

Why … was she smiling when her eyes were still red?

Was it because she wanted to bring him back to reality so badly that she held back her sadness and asked this question?

Suddenly guessing the answer, Sawada Tsunayoshi fell silent. He looked around the place that was temporarily called home, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes …"

He wasn't sure what would happen if he answered, so his answer was a little uncertain.

However, Xia Kong smiled even more happily because of this answer.

It wasn't that she didn't care about Sawada Tsunayoshi's state, but she felt that he finally chose to believe.

Xia Kong got up first and took Sawada Tsunayoshi's hand, "It's okay, Ah Gang, as long as we go back, everything will be fine."

After being willing to leave, they could indeed move together.

From the courtyard to the front door, Xia Kong saw Takashi Natsume leaning against the door.

Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't expect someone else to be there, so he clenched his fists tightly.

Xia Kong introduced him comfortingly, "I met him on the way to find you, Takashi Natsume.

Natsume, this is my friend Sawada Tsunayoshi. "

"Hello." Takashi Natsume greeted her in a friendly manner.

Sawada Tsunayoshi also responded, "H-hello."

"Speaking of which … I was in a hurry to find Ah Gang, so I blurted out that I wanted to take you back, but Natsume, you …" It was awkward to ask directly, so Xia Kong hesitated for a moment, "Are you sure that the Grim Reaper didn't lead you to this place?"

Takashi Natsume took some time to understand the meaning of the question. His eyes flashed, and he answered softly, "Yes … I didn't notice anything, and we were already here.

Um … so, please take me with you wherever you go. "

After confirming that they had the same goal, Xia Kong took a long time with the two teenagers to walk to the Japanese-style courtyard where they first saw the Grim Reaper.

The black-haired young man was already standing at the door. His calm eyes were only a little surprised when he saw Takashi Natsume, but he still drew his katana and opened the door.

During the process, he remained silent.
