Chapter 155 I Won't Leave
"Xiao Lan! Yu Bai! I've packed the mini cakes!"
Sonoko Suzuki's voice was clearly audible, carrying an undeniable penetrating power. Upon hearing the name, Wataru Date abruptly looked up at Yu Bai.
The moment Yu Bai heard Sonoko Suzuki call his name, he knew things were about to go wrong.
Sure enough, the next second it was Ida Kou's voice.
"Yu Bai? Didn't you say your name was Feng Yue before?"
There was a hint of urgency in Ida Ko's tone. Ignoring the presence of his colleagues, he strode up to Yu Bai, his eyes fixed on him.
"Uh... actually, Toyotsuki is also my name."
Knowing that he was beyond saving, Yu Bai gave up the struggle.
That's right. At the volume of Sonoko Suzuki shouting as she ran, only a deaf person could not hear her.
That's it, let's leave it at that. I'm tired, I'm giving up.
At this moment, Xiaolan cautiously asked from the side, "Um, Mr. Date, do you know Yu Bai?"
"Yes, Brother Ida. Calm down, don't scare the child."
Date Hang's eyes were slightly red as he stared intently at Yu Bai, as if afraid the other might suddenly disappear. Those around him were puzzled by Date Hang's agitated reaction.
Inspector Megure also noticed Date's unusual behavior. He stepped forward and gently tugged at Date, since Yu Bai looked like an ordinary student at the moment, which was in stark contrast to the tall Date who was wearing a police uniform.
"I……"
When questioned by his superior, Inspector Megure, Date Wataru was momentarily speechless.
How should he explain this?
He said that Yu Bai looked exactly like the friend he had been searching for, and even had the same name, but they were different ages.
Or does he suspect that Yu Bai possesses the ability to live forever?
These thoughts flashed through his mind, but he quickly realized that he couldn't say them.
He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, Inspector Megure would treat him as a mental patient and take him back to the hospital.
At the same time, Date Wataru, who was very clear about Yu Bai's protective abilities, was afraid that revealing them would bring trouble to his friends and attract prying eyes, thus putting Yu Bai in danger.
"It's nothing, Inspector Megure. Actually, I've known Inspector Date for a long time, but we haven't seen each other for so long that Inspector Date is a little excited."
Just then, Yu Bai spoke up to help Date Hang out of the predicament. He didn't intend to hide it any longer; since there was no way to avoid it, Yu Bai had already decided to give up and die sooner rather than later.
"Squad Leader Date, it's been a long time. But now's not the time for catching up. Here's my phone number, let's keep in touch by phone later."
Yu Bai smiled slightly at Date Kou, took a tissue and a pen from the counter by the door, wrote his phone number on the tissue, and then handed it to Date Kou.
Ida took the tissue, looked at the phone number on it, quickly memorized the number, and felt a little more at ease.
"Okay, I'll contact you tonight. You must answer the phone!"
Yu Bai nodded: "Don't worry, since I ran into Squad Leader Date here today, I don't plan to keep it from you anymore. Contact me tonight."
After speaking, Yu Bai pulled Bu Yue away from the dessert exhibition.
……
Nighttime Tenshukaku
"Okay, I got it. So my old flower shop is still in business. Great, see you at the flower shop tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Bai looked at the phone screen with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
After the dessert exhibition, Yu Bai and Bu Yue returned to the Honmaru.
As expected, not long after, Ida Ko called.
During the phone call, Itako excitedly told Yu Bai that he had told the other four people about meeting Yu Bai and invited Yu Bai to meet them at the flower shop he had bought the day before.
Moreover, it was because of this phone call to inform the other four that Date Wataru learned that Furuya Rei had met Yu Bai some time ago and even got his phone number, but had kept it a secret from him.
Oh, no, Furuya Rei still told Morofushi Kagemitsu. In the end, it was him, Matsuda Jinpei, and Hagiwara Kenji who got hurt.
Bah! Those two childhood friends who were "in cahoots" actually managed to keep the fact that they found Yu Bai a secret from the three of them!
It was a wrong payment after all.
Ida Wataru decided that when he saw those two guys tomorrow, he would find a reason to spar with them.
Afterwards, Ida Hang talked to Yu Bai for a long time. It was then that Yu Bai learned that after he left, the five of them had been managing his flower shop and had never let it fall into disrepair.
Sometimes they still get together at the shop in their spare time, and now Morofushi Kagemitsu has transformed into Kawakami Anya and become the new owner of the flower shop.
In Date Wataru's words, it's as if only in this way can it feel like there's still some space left.
It seems that all traces of Yu Bai disappeared after that explosion.
Only this flower shop remains, preserving those beautiful memories.
"Hey~"
Yu Bai sighed softly, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Fengyue, let me go with you tomorrow."
Bu Yue, who had overheard Yu Bai's phone call, said he also wanted to go along.
He didn't care at all that Feng Yue left him to see someone who had no friends. That's right, he didn't care at all.
He just wanted to see what those five people looked like.
"Is...it okay?"
Yu Bai, who originally wanted to refuse, changed his mind after looking up and seeing the disappointment on Bu Yue's face.
He discovered that ever since reuniting with Bu Yue, Bu Yue had become like a cat suffering from separation anxiety, unable to be separated from its owner.
As soon as its owner is out of sight, it will meow anxiously and scratch its claws everywhere, feeling uneasy.
Yu Bai felt that Bu Yue's mentality was not good, but he also knew that the reason why Bu Yue was like this was because of his departure a thousand years ago.
"Not a month".
Yu Bai called out softly, and at the same time extended his right hand, gently grasping the right hand of the black-haired deity.
Bu Yue raised her gaze, her dark eyes deep and distant, like the long, boundless night outside.
But in this deep darkness, a figure is now clearly reflected, the irreplaceable treasure in Bu Yue's heart.
"We are both gods, and we have a long time to spend together. In the days to come, we will spend many wonderful times together. So, don't be afraid, trust me, okay?"
Yu Bai's words were full of sincerity and power; he hoped that through his words, he could give Bu Yue enough sense of security.
Feeling the warmth from the back of her hand, Bu Yue pursed her lips slightly, and her thick eyelashes trembled involuntarily.
"it is good."
"So when you see Class President Date and the others tomorrow, make sure you get along well with them."
"……I try my best."
……
Bu Yue: It doesn't matter whether I go with them or not, I just want to see the friend that Feng Yue mentioned.
Yu Bai: (Completely unable to resist the cute cat's disappointed expression.) Bu Yue, I promise, I will not leave.
Bu Yue: (Eyes shining) Good.
