Feeling the sudden coolness on his cheek, Zenin Kiyoshi subconsciously turned his head, only to see a generic brand popsicle being held in Toji's hand at some point.
"Here."
There were some cobwebs on the street lamp, and insects were circling around the blue and white light. Even at the risk of their wings being burned by the light bulb, even knowing that they might be entangled in the cobwebs, they still would not leave the cool blue and white light.
Toji's slightly dull and awkward voice came, like the weather on this summer evening, with an indescribable awkwardness and enthusiasm.
Zenin Kiyoshi looked at the extremely awkward appearance in front of him, suddenly smiled, and then reached out to take the popsicle:
"When did you go to buy it?"
"Just now, when you were daydreaming."
"Thank you."
Zenin Kiyoshi took the popsicle handed over by Toji, a faint smile on his face.
Seeing this, Toji seemed to have gotten rid of a big burden. He let out a sigh of relief, the movement was extremely obvious.
"Why did you suddenly think of buying me ice cream?"
Zenin Kiyoshi's question came, making Toji a little embarrassed to answer for a moment.
But countless facts have proved that being direct is always the best way to solve problems.
"Didn't I make you cry, you brat? I thought it was a bit bad, so I bought a popsicle to compensate you..."
When Toji said these words, his two hands were swaying back and forth restlessly. This was the first time he had revealed his heart in front of someone else. This feeling was very strange for him, as if he had shed all his outer shells, leaving only the most primitive thoughts.
But Toji unexpectedly found that he did not hate this feeling. In fact, he even liked it a little.
But he knew even more that he could probably only do this in front of this brat Zenin Kiyoshi. At least he himself knew that he could not reveal his heart in front of anyone else.
And to this, Zenin Kiyoshi just smiled and then said:
"Actually, I didn't cry, at least not in my heart. But just like the knee-jerk reflex, sometimes the body cannot avoid some of the most basic pain. When a person is hit on the nose, they will cry. When they eat chili peppers, they will cough. These are just the most basic physiological conditioned reflexes. Don't worry about it too much."
"So you mean your tears today were not because you were wronged in your heart, but because your body couldn't bear the pain and cried?"
Hearing Toji's summary, Zenin Kiyoshi nodded, unwrapped the popsicle, and looked at the two intertwined popsicles inside, just like the popsicles that Naruto and Jiraiya ate in Naruto.
As he broke the popsicle apart, a few ice chips fell and quickly melted on the ground. He said to Toji:
"It's not a problem if you understand it that way. Here, you can have half. I can't eat that much myself."
Looking at the popsicle handed to him, Toji did not refuse. He reached out and took the earthy yellow popsicle, then said:
"You brat are really strange. If I had eaten this kind of thing when I was a child, I would never have thought of sharing it with the people around me."
"Delicious food, if you taste it alone, it always feels like something is missing, doesn't it?"
"I don't feel that way. What flavor is this?"
"Mango flavor."
"What about yours? It looks green. Is it watermelon flavor?"
"Honeydew flavor. I like this flavor."
"Oh~ I'll try it next time."
Hearing Toji's words, Zenin Kiyoshi touched his head and suddenly said with a smile:
"What, are you going to hit me again?"
Looking at Zenin Kiyoshi who was holding his head and smiling, Toji suddenly couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth. He raised his hand, pretending to hit the other party, and then said:
"Maybe."
Under the street lamp, the shadows of the two were stretched very long, intertwined like thick ink.
And in Suguru Geto's house on the other side, he looked at the can of coke in his hand that had completely lost its coolness, but Zenin Kiyoshi's smiling face kept appearing in his mind.
Although it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, Zenin Kiyoshi's smile really felt like a brilliant light to him, imprinted in his heart, and he couldn't forget it.
Every time he recalled that scene, the faint taste of coke would subconsciously appear in his mouth.
Ice coke, it was a sweet, spicy, and sour taste, much better than the taste of the Cursed Spirit orb.
He lived in a basement very close to the school. This was the best house his parents could find for him. It was about six square meters in total. Besides the basic bathroom, there was a bedroom and a desk.
Because the house was in the basement, it always had a faint musty smell.
In addition, the recent rainy days in Tokyo have been continuous, and water droplets always appear on the walls. The clothes cannot be completely dried, and are often air-dried, filled with a strange smell.
The light in the basement was very dim. Although Suguru Geto was not a picky person, he also felt a little uncomfortable and depressed living in this environment for a long time.
But in this basement dominated by cool colors, there was now a can of bright red, sun-like can.
Suguru Geto felt a little strange. It was just a can of coke, but it always occupied an unshakable position in his thoughts.
Every time he touched that can of coke, the young man's smile would involuntarily appear in his mind.
Next Saturday, I must go there to see him.
He still had many, many questions he wanted to talk to that young man about.
The path of a hero is always lonely.
This was something Suguru Geto had always firmly believed in before, but today, after seeing Zenin Kiyoshi, he felt that his thoughts might have been a little wrong.
The things in books really can't be fully believed.
He muttered a sentence, then cleaned the cloth bag that absorbed water vapor, wrapped himself in the slightly cold and damp quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.
The musty smell around was still pungent, but with something to look forward to in his heart, everything would get better.
At the same time, on the other side, a silver-white-haired young man sat on the windowsill. His dream-like eyes looked at the bustling Tokyo, and he couldn't help but recall the face of a certain young man.
He was the first person to say thank you to him, and he even gave him a can of coke.
News also came from home. That guy was actually detected to be a sorcerer. Maybe he could even become his classmate in the future.
Then I'll see if I can extort that can of coke back.
Gojo Satoru smiled, and his sunglasses almost fell off his face.
