Chapter 266 Cold War
Chapter 266 Cold War
Unlike the enclosed balcony downstairs that is separated by floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the balcony on the attic is basically open except for the connecting door.
When cleaning the apartment, the housekeeping staff tacitly agree not to come up to this space.
Gojo Satoru quickly and efficiently installed the anti-theft door, which had been completely blocked, and all the locking holes were blocked.
Now I have to open it myself.
Without even looking at it, he stretched out his index finger and released dark blue cursed energy.
As a fist-sized hole was burned at the door handle, the door was blown open by a strong wind with a "clang".
The temperature shown in the weather forecast is still continuing to drop, reaching minus ten degrees Celsius today.
The news media called it a snowstorm that occurs once in fifty years.
Along with the goose feather-like snowflakes that drifted in came a biting cold.
There was nearly twenty centimeters of snow outside, and this was a balcony on the fifteenth floor, so it was even colder than the outside.
The most bizarre thing is that there is a small flowerpot in the corner. The plant in it has just sprouted tender yellow new buds. It is not covered by the falling snow and is still growing tenaciously.
“I actually have to raise it this way.” Gojo Satoru muttered twice, “I almost forgot.”
"What is this?" asked Xia Yujie.
"That lottery machine." Gojo Satoru pouted and said, "Xiaoji, it was the second one drawn."
"Since this is a gift from Kiri-chan, why are you putting it here?"
"It's the seed's growth environment requirement!" Gojo Satoru answered in a loud voice, "It says that it needs to grow in a closed space and can't be disturbed too much."
"When the cold winter is over, it will bloom beautiful flowers on its own."
Xia Youjie: ".......You are really obedient."
Gojo Satoru pushed the door open completely, walked out and stood by the railing, looking at the lit building in the distance.
"........"
Seeing that Geto Suguru had not come out yet, Gojo Satoru turned around and looked at him in confusion.
"...Let's chat here." Xiayou Jie pointed at the thick snow pile and asked, "Are you sure?"
"I remember that you are not the kind of person who is afraid of the cold." His question did not give up Gojo Satoru's plan. Instead, he glanced back and asked in a questioning tone, "Or do you think it would be better for us to go downstairs and talk in front of Kiri-chan?"
"Forget it." Geto Xiayou withdrew his finger, closed the door with his backhand, and walked to Gojo Satoru.
It is true that you are not afraid of the cold.
This level of cold is like an appetizer to the sorcerer's strong body.
Even asking them to lie shirtless in the snow and chat would do no harm.
But for Gojo Satoru, the warmth here didn't seem to be something he wanted to ignore, but something he wanted to embrace.
Is this what you mean by wanting to be blown by the wind so as to calm your head?
The snow fell harder, but the wind stopped, and everything became quiet and deserted.
It was an atmosphere for conversation, but now that they were here and standing there, Gojo Satoru began to remain silent again.
A pair of blue eyes were staring at somewhere perhaps thousands of miles away, and no one knew what was going on in his mind.
Then Xia Youjie can only be the one who speaks first.
"So what exactly happened between you and Kiri-chan just now?"
“She ignored me!” As soon as he started asking, Gojo Satoru couldn’t wait to yell, “You saw it too. She totally ignored me.”
"She didn't even look at me, nor did she talk to me." He slapped his hand on the railing in a complaining manner, without any shame, and it made a crisp sound of collision. "And when you sat over there, she even moved towards you!"
"You're becoming extremely disgusted with me!"
"Ah." Xia Youjie said without emotion, "Don't I really dislike you?"
"It's different!" Gojo Satoru said, "Can't you tell?"
I noticed it, but I was too lazy to say anything to him.
Kiri-chan is usually too nice and has never really been angry with him. She spoils him too much, which causes Gojo Satoru to sometimes unconsciously take his course.
It's good to get angry with him, so that this guy doesn't have any sense of boundaries.
"Won't you give me some advice?"
"......." He looked at Gojo Satoru in confusion, "Why should I give you advice?"
"Because Kiri-chan is angry."
"I'm angry with you, not me." He shrugged, "She was smiling at me just now, why should I help you."
"Hey, little eyes, you're going too far." Gojo Satoru said, "You're totally taking advantage of someone's misfortune."
"......You deserve it for her to ignore you." Xia Youjie said decisively, "You should get down on your knees and apologize as soon as possible."
Gojo Satoru widened his eyes a little, but did not refute.
Three seconds later, he angrily dug his fingers into his hair, combed it back, then leaned on the railing and said irritably: "There's no way."
“So angry.”
"So I asked what happened." Xia Youjie asked, "but you didn't tell me."
"I don't know where to start."
"It's definitely something too extreme."
Gojo Satoru opened his mouth, looking a little guilty, but his guilt was also somewhat justified.
It’s so typical, almost the same as what I guessed.
Even though Geto Suguru has no memories, I always feel that this would be the expression he would make.
After a moment of silence, Gojo Satoru spoke up, "The ring has been found."
Xia Youjie's hand paused slightly, and he turned his head suddenly to look at him: "Found it?!"
"It's under my name. It was probably taken from the former Gojo family and placed with me."
"That......"
"But it turned to ashes right in front of me." Gojo Satoru said calmly, "I couldn't see any clues at all. It was fine one second, and disappeared the next second."
Disappeared...?
Geto Xiayou listened in silence.
"It's like a roller coaster of emotions, isn't it?" Gojo Satoru said with a mocking smile, "And she didn't seem surprised at all, nor did she seem to care much."
"It was as if she knew something like this would happen." He continued, "When I asked her, she said nothing, like a saw-mouthed gourd."
"She clearly knew that she could die at any time," Gojo Satoru said, "but she refused to stay in the prison gate."
"Very...very, very stubborn. So stubborn that I'd rather leave everyone behind and die." He looked at Geto Suguru, "Don't tell me you won't be angry."
Xia Youjie slowly loosened his tightly clenched hands and exhaled a breath of white air, "Then what did you do?"
"........."
"Satoru."
"I remember that I had an argument with her." Gojo Satoru's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but turn away a little, "But I didn't say anything hurtful."
"I didn't say anything hurtful." Xia Youjie asked expressionlessly, "Then why is she so angry?"
“I think he said he wanted to curse her or something.” Gojo Satoru said unnaturally, “And then, he used a little force…”
"What?!" Xia Youjie raised his voice in disbelief, "Say it again."
"We're not fighting, and we're not really cursing." Gojo Satoru blinked and explained, "It's just..."
"Okay, you don't have to say anymore." Xia Youjie took a deep breath and gestured to stop, "I don't want to listen anymore."
"Jay."
"If you keep talking like that, even I'm going to hit you."
