The autumn rain is bleak, and the courtyard is deep.

The cut flowers in the bottle are vying for pistils in the warm room, and the strong fragrance of flowers and fruits fills the air, giving the girl who has not returned home for a long time a sense of a world away.

"elder sister!"

As soon as she finished changing her shoes at the entrance, Wu Yue was hugged by the little boy who swooped towards her.

She was stunned for a long time before she said with emotion: "Long time no see, Qiantang..."

Liyin on the side had just guided the distinguished guests to the living room, and when she heard her daughter's words, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she was afraid that she would be seen losing her composure, so when Qiantang dragged Wuyue into the corridor, she quickly wiped her face.

"Yeah, yeah, I ran out without an umbrella, and my face was covered with rain!" She wiped her restless hands on her apron, smiled awkwardly, and immediately rushed to make tea for the gentleman.

The girl who saw everything in her eyes didn't want to expose it.

Let the younger brother pull her into the living room and move all the toys in front of her.

The hostess of Kanna's house poured Aizen a cup of hot black tea. After a few greetings, she hurried into the kitchen with her long-lost daughter for cooking.

The checkered glass sliding door was closed.

The boiled curry paste was bubbling and bubbling.

"I knew I would see you again..."

Liyin chopped an onion and threw it into the pot. I don't know if it was because of the irritating smell of the vegetable. She lowered her head and suddenly started crying.

"Qiantang has said it many times...one night last summer, he saw you in a strange ancient costume...standing in the corridor..."

The smell of onion is so strong that Wu Yue can't help but feel his nose sour.

She handed her mother a paper towel to help stir the curry sauce evenly, "Children are amazing, do they have memories at such a young age?"

"It seems that that night...it was really you..." The middle-aged woman wiped her tears, almost unable to lift her head.

"Well, the exam came that day. I thought I could apply to come to this world with better grades, but I didn't expect..." The blond girl frowned slightly, as if her thoughts began to go back far away, and suddenly, she smiled panicked She said softly, and comforted her mother, "But it's okay. Although I took a long detour, I'm still back..."

The calm explanation made Li Yin even more uncomfortable. She forced a smile and said, "It's true... I'm back, it's good to be back... I didn't expect that there are really other worlds..."

She wiped her tears embarrassingly, and took her daughter's hand again, "I'm sorry... I'll be quiet first... Your father went to buy a honey cake and is on his way back... It's really inappropriate for Mr. Aizen to stay outside alone , you go out first, there is nothing to be busy here..."

Wuyue nodded, washed a basket of fresh fruit, put it on a plate, and brought it to the living room.

The distinguished guests from afar have already taken off their coats and are enjoying themselves with the children at home.

He doesn't seem like a person who likes children, but the picture of him holding Qiantang standing in front of the photo wall and identifying family members with him makes Wu Yue almost convinced that he is really a good elder who is gentle, respectful and thrifty.

"Who is this little girl?"

"It's my sister!"

"What is my sister eating?"

"Strawberry! My mother said that my sister likes strawberries the most!"

The childish voice fell, and the brown-haired man looked at her and smiled in a blink of an eye, pointing to a photo on the wall and saying, "So you really like eating strawberries..."

Hearing the irony in Aizen's words, Muzuki looked at him speechlessly, and the moment he put down the fruit plate, he suddenly remembered the orange-headed boy related to "Strawberry".

He also lives in Karakura Town, the distance between the two is not too far away, if you find a way to secretly inform him...maybe...maybe...

You can take her away.

But the family is here, if Ichigo really shows up, things will only get worse, right?

For a moment of deep thought, Wang Xuquan seemed to see through her mind, and suddenly appeared beside her, whispering:

"Are you thinking of Kurosaki Ichigo? If you want to see him, you can only say it's a pity... Last time Grimmjow went out privately to trouble him and almost killed him... Now Kuro Saki Ichigo, in order to tame the void in his body, he is currently undergoing special training at the secret base of the Masked Legion... After finally returning home to find hope, the result is just fetching water from a bamboo basket, no moon, you must be very sad, right?"

The familiar tone of voice reminded the blond girl of all the things she had tried and pulled with him when she was in the world of corpses and souls, and her fingers clenched into fists before she knew it.

The man really hasn't changed.

Their rigid relationship will not change in any way.

Knowing that he is the root cause of all dangers, why did you lure wolves into the house and ask him to stay? Is it because you also have hopeless expectations for him?

"You think too much, why would I want to see Ichigo, isn't that clearly asking him to die?" Restraining her fluctuating emotions, the girl suddenly smiled, "Today I just want to have a simple birthday, the rest , didn't think about anything..."

"Is that so..." Lan Ran sat down on the sofa with a gentle smile, and handed Qiantang an apple cut into the shape of a rabbit. When Wuyue pulled the little boy to her side, his calm expression suddenly changed. cold.

"Wuyue, I reserved for you an extremely important position beside me... Are you really, don't think about it?"

"No, thank you." The blond girl refused very simply, "'Extremely important' is not 'most important'. This kind of position is not worth considering."

The eyes of the two scraped swords and swords in the void, as if a bloody storm had already erupted in the hidden corner of the brain.

During the confrontation, Aizen suddenly laughed, "In this case, you should enjoy the hard-earned parent-child time today... After all, Karakura Town, which is a heavy spirit land, is about to fall..."

"Qiantang." Sensing that the topic had changed, Wuyue immediately dismissed the little boy beside her, "Can I go get my sister a bottle of milk?"

The cute child blinked his big eyes, obeyed the girl's instructions, and ran to the kitchen with an apple in his mouth.

There was silence all around, and the sound of rain became louder and louder.

The amber eyes were full of storms, "What did you say just now..."

"Oh, didn't I tell you before?" Aizen put down his teacup, smiling leisurely, "The town of Karakura has a population of 10, which can be used to make the king key, which is the key to the spirit palace of the soul world... you You only need to know these things, and the rest...you will see the result when the time is right...so for your parents and relatives, it is better not to easily refuse the question I just raised..."

Facing the naked/naked threat, Wuyue did not show the impulsiveness and anxiety when dealing with him. On the contrary, he was extremely calm. After a moment of silence, he smiled and replied:

"It doesn't matter, I just found out that after I passed away, Ichigo would often visit and condolence to my parents. For me, he helped me protect all the most important people and things... ...So...you can do whatever you want, there will always be someone who will stop you, but it's not the turn of such a useless me..."

Unable to get the expected reaction, Aizen's eyes lost their brightness a little bit, and the smile on the corner of his lips also began to freeze, "Aren't you afraid that I will do something now?"

"Why should you be afraid?" the delicate girl asked nonchalantly, "Although you are not a good person, you are not so bad as to take a knife from an outsider."

The sentence that was neither a compliment nor a contempt made Aizen show a bit of embarrassment.

"Do you trust Kurosaki Ichigo so much...so trusting that you have to give him the only chance to stop me..."

"Don't think so complicated, I just feel that even if I agree to your conditions, you are just exaggerating and letting my family go, and the other 10 people still have to sacrifice for your so-called 'righteousness'. This kind of thing happened Our family is not at ease, so we might as well give it a go and wait for the judgment of fate... But then again..." The girl focused slightly, her palm grasping the handle of the fruit knife. It has nothing to do with this world, but you are willing to pour disaster water into another world for your own selfish desires. This approach is wrong... So it doesn't matter whether I struggle or not, because you will not succeed, absolutely, you will not succeed. "

Facing the girl's stern words, the haughty man smiled contemptuously, "Oh? Since you asserted so, let's wait and see... Let's see who will be able to see the sunshine of the next spring after the winter is over..."

As soon as the man's voice fell, there was a sudden "click", and the panicked sound of opening the door broke into the room, and a tense and high-pitched "I'm back", completely disrupted the simmering atmosphere between the two.

Wuyue, who was fighting with the king, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly put down the fruit knife in his hand that had assassinated the opponent countless times in his mind.

As soon as the host, Kanayu, walked into the house, he happily explained the honey cream cake that he had waited in line for two hours to buy, and the red wine specially prepared to welcome the distinguished guests.

Hearing his father's voice, Wuyue got up quickly, almost echoing "Welcome back" together with Qiantang who ran towards his arms.

The well-mannered middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a long time when he saw her, then he turned his back, sat on the floor, took off his leather shoes, and put on a pair of sandals and slippers.

Suddenly he realized something was wrong again, and hurriedly took a pair of indoor shoes suitable for spring and autumn from the cabinet.

Wuyue couldn't see his face, but his flustered hands and feet and trembling shoulders had already told her too much.

"Dad, it's raining...is there a traffic jam?" She stood in the corridor and asked tentatively.

The man sitting in the porch took a deep breath, turned to face her, and replied with a smile: "Yeah, it's a good thing to go out early... Ah, by the way, today I have a special chestnut cake, let's make dessert after the meal... ...I've bought so many that I can take them home for you...uh, I mean..."

"Okay." Wuyue interrupted him, pursed her lips, and laughed, "Thank you, I'll take all I can't finish, it's hard to find anything in this world over there."

Yuichi stepped into the corridor, passed by his daughter with his head lowered slightly, "Is that so... that's good, that's good... no matter where you are, take good care of yourself..."

"En." The blond girl nodded, and heard her father's shallow or heavy footsteps, as well as a few unintentional sighs.

He was as tall as before, but he was much thinner and haggard. The suit that used to fit him was a bit empty, his back still had wet marks from the rain, and his hair was messy.

This is not the best manners in hospitality.

Wu Yue felt a little sad.

The long-lost greetings were over, and Liyin in the kitchen intentionally reminded the man who had just returned home to tidy up before rushing to the living room to greet the distinguished guest.

The two men greeted each other politely and introduced themselves.

After some chatting, the topic of chatting changed from the weather to cooking taste preferences, and then jumped directly to the question about Wuyue.

After hearing the guest's evaluation of his daughter's "smart, tenacious, pure and innocent", Yuichi suddenly became a little excited, and even held the other's hand and said solemnly:

"Mr. Aizen, thank you for saving our family Wuyue, thank you for bringing her back... Seeing that she is safe and sound, we as parents are relieved. I never dreamed that there would be a chance to see you again. This is really great Yes! As a father, I have an unfeeling request..."

Speaking of this, Yuichi cleared his throat deliberately, and asked solemnly: "I hope you will always care about her and protect her like this, don't let her cry, don't leave her alone, let her live without parents and friends." I feel lonely and sad in this world, thank you, please take good care of Wu Yue..."

The overly sincere and eager words made Aizen feel a little hesitant and embarrassed.

"Yuichi!?" The hostess who did not know when he appeared suddenly yelled loudly, ignoring the guest's surprised expression, she pulled her husband aside again and again, and reprimanded in a low voice, "We don't know who he is, so why don't you take the risk? How embarrassing he would be if he misunderstood if he said these words rashly in front of others!"

Immediately afterwards, she turned to Aizen again, and apologized to him implicitly, "I'm really sorry, my husband mistook you and Wuyue as lovers, he was a little excited, and said some abrupt things, please don't take offense..."

The brown-haired man didn't care about it, he just smiled slightly, "There is no such thing, I can understand this kind of misunderstanding because I love my daughter dearly."

After that, he added some tea to the teacup. When he toasted the cup, in the lingering mist, he caught a glimpse of the blond girl walking with the bowls and plates, and heard her explain to her parents:

"Mr. Aizen and I are the landlord and the tenant. I have always been under the umbrella of others and have been taken care of. Taking advantage of today's birthday to invite him to my house for a meal, it should also be a repayment for his kindness."

The girl's voice was light and crisp, without any extra emotion.

The couple next to them suddenly understood, nodded again and again to show that they "understood the situation", and immediately began to set up Chinese food and invite guests to sit down.

Aizen also politely agreed, and then walked to the dining table, but her wandering eyes always followed Wuyue's footsteps back and forth inadvertently.

When he finally put the dipping dish in front of him, he spoke softly to hold her back who was about to turn around and leave: "Wuyue, is this your final decision... decided to stop our relationship in the 'room' Such insignificant phases as 'lord and tenant'..."

With amber eyes half-downcast carelessly, the girl answered lightly, accompanied by the sad sound of rain outside the window:

"Yes, let's stop here, I seem to be...a little tired..."
