When Xia Yujie returned, at the door of the lounge, only Jialiu Nishiko was smoking a cigarette silently.

"You rarely smoke when you're not upset." He looked at the glass fingers, the scarlet spot was slightly dazzling in the night.

"Are you sad?"

"Yeah." Jiaru Nishiko lit a cigarette and let the ash be blown away by the wind.

She said frankly and bluntly, "No matter how sad it is, you have to get used to it sooner or later."

"Glass." Xia Yujie put his hands to cover his eyes and leaned weakly against the wall, "You are really so calm that it's scary."

"Gota is jumpy, and you like to overthink." Ieiri Naoko said calmly, without any fluctuation in her tone, "If I were like you two, she would only blame herself more."

"Why does the parting scene have to be so life-or-death?" she said, "Isn't it enough to know that she can live well in the other world?"

"............" Xia Yujie did not respond.

".......Speaking of Satoru, where is he?" Geto Xiayou looked around but did not see Gojo Satoru.

"I don't know where he went." Ieiri Naoko said, "Master Zenin has been looking for him for a long time, but he can't find him."

When Gojo Satoru really wants to hide, it would probably be difficult for anyone to find him.

The last thing Xiayou Jie saw was Gojo Satoru sitting on a tree in an open space behind the teaching building, near the forest.

It was already night, and the full moon was in the sky. The light-colored hair glowed silver under the moonlight.

He lay asleep on a big tree, his long legs poking into the dense leaves, as if they had grown out of it.

"Hey, Wu." Xia Youjie called him from below, "Come down quickly."

Gojo Satoru's ears twitched and he glanced downward, but he ignored him.

He had no choice but to climb up easily and sit on the other side of Gojo Satoru, separated by a tree trunk.

"If I hadn't found this place, how long would you have stayed here?"

"Go away, Jie." Gojo Satoru said listlessly, "I'm not in the mood to fight with you."

"Am I in the mood?" Geto Suguru made a throwing gesture towards him, and Gojo Satoru reached out to catch it.

I opened my palm and found a small ring.

The perfectly cut dark green gem was inlaid in the center of the tiny diamonds, reflecting in the pale blue pupils, emitting a dazzling light.

"What is this?" asked Gojo Satoru.

"Teacher Zenin gave it to you as an apology." Xiayou Jie looked up at the sky and stared at the distant moon. "She said she was sorry to disappoint you."

"........At this time, you still call me Master Zen?"

The two people looked at each other in silence, and saw the understanding in each other's eyes.

"Her real name is Lily, right?" Xia Youjie sighed helplessly, "Her acting is too bad."

"Yeah, I don't know who she thought she had fooled."

Gojo Satoru also complained, "What a fool, maybe he's even smug about it."

A secret lie was finally revealed, but there was no trace of joy on the faces of the two people.

In silence, Xia Youjie suddenly pointed to the brightest morning star and said, "How many billions of light years do you think it will take to reach that star in the sky?"

"......"

"What we are seeing now is probably the scene from hundreds of millions of years ago, right?"

"......"

"If I could touch it, it would be a miracle, right?"

"That's enough! Jie." Gojo Satoru sat up angrily and shouted at him, "I don't want to hear this."

"So what do you want to hear?" Xia Youjie asked calmly and restrainedly, "Do you want me to be angry with her with you? Or do you think I should defeat her with you?"

"Satoru, isn't it about time you matured?"

"You know it very well in your heart. She said she came from another parallel world."

Xia Youjie continued in a calm tone, "From that time on, you should have known that we were destined not to be able to keep her."

"......"

Gojo Satoru looked at Xiayou Jie steadily and said pointedly, "Jie, you are really good at putting on airs."

"Hmm." Xia Youjie smiled, "Pretentious? Maybe."

"You're leaving, and you're not the only one who's sad."

"Her eyes were red, too."

"So?" Gojo Satoru asked, "Does this change the fact that she left everyone behind and ran away by herself?"

"This is the adult world." Xia Youjie recalled the conversation they had in front of Tenriko's tombstone that day. She told him about the difficulties and trivialities she encountered in life.

Then, as if mocking herself or pleading with the heavens, she said with emotion: "Why do the important people in my life always leave me?"

It was not until that moment that Geto Suguru finally glimpsed the fragile and fragile side beneath the strong appearance.

"Life is full of accidental meetings and separations."

"Maybe it was just an ordinary day, until a long, long time later, when I think back, it turns out that day was the last time we saw each other."

"From the beginning to the end, she has always been tolerant of us." Xia Youjie sighed, "This time, please tolerate her as well."

Gojo Satoru stared at the ring on his hand for three seconds, then suddenly jumped down the tree without saying a word.

The huge impact force created a hole in the ground.

"Jay, where is she now?"

"At Zenin's house, are you going to go find her?"

"Ah, yes." Gojo Satoru looked up at the moon that had risen to the center of the sky and said through gritted teeth, "I absolutely, absolutely cannot accept such an apology."

*

When Gojo Satoru arrived at the Zen temple's house, it was late at night and the moon was gradually setting in the west.

Fushiguro Shijiro was leaning against a horizontal tree trunk, with several wine bottles lying around him in a mess.

In one hand he held a puppet, and in the other a half-drunk bottle of sake.

Gojo Satoru's six eyes swept around and only saw Fushiguro Shinobu.

"Where is she?" asked Gojo Satoru.

"Ah, she's gone." Fushiguro Shier raised his hand and took a sip of wine, pointed vaguely at a certain place, and said, "You came at an untimely time. She just went home."

It was so plain that it seemed like this was not a farewell forever, but just a brief goodbye.

"........."

Fushiguro Shiori glanced at Gojo Satoru, who had a blank expression and was not moving.

"You little devil, you're really interesting."

"What do you mean?"

He didn't answer the question, lazily threw away the wine bottle, walked to the refrigerator and opened a bottle, "For my sake, I am also your teacher."

“Who wants you to be a teacher?”

"Ha." Fushiguro Shigeu said unhappily, "You are indeed a brat who is still wet behind the ears."

"Don't speak in that tone, and don't flatter yourself."

"Let me give you a piece of advice." Fushiguro Shige stood up and slowly walked to the other side along the gravel road in the middle.

"You can say compliments or insults without thinking," he said, "but you can't say words that really hurt others."

"If you are not careful, it will become a sharp weapon that stabs yourself and others at the same time."

"And you don't always have a chance to redeem yourself."
