After a temple fair, Tong-kun and I once again walked to Runlin 'an's business street. I felt that there were fewer pedestrians. I looked around strangely.
"What's wrong?" Tong Jun asked. After hearing my question, he smiled and said,"Because the decorations and stalls that were set up during the temple fair are gone. It had been getting colder and colder recently. If this continued, it would feel even colder.”
"Yes, I am." I nodded in agreement and told him that the weather had been cold for the past few days.
"Hmm? Could it be that it was very cold on the day of the temple fair?" Tong Jun widened his eyes and leaned closer to me."I'm sorry, I didn't notice.”
"Eh…it wasn't cold at all back then. Everyone is gathered together…"
A few days ago was the first time I knew what a temple fair was. Hitomi brought me, Bai Zai, Ye Yi, and Urahara, who was used as a cover, to the temple fair at Liuhun Street. Although there were many people and my younger siblings were very clingy, Tong Jun still found an opportunity to run away with me.
Her face was a little hot. Not only because he was now facing me with his side profile and his breath swept across my forehead, but also because I recalled the day of the temple fair when he held my hand tightly and the two of them hid on the roof to watch the fireworks. Although we had the chance to shake hands before, I felt particularly nervous at that time.
" That's true." Tong Jun smiled naturally." They were very close at that time."”
Then, he moved closer to me as if he was trying to block the wind for me. I almost cried out in grief.
"Hmm? Your face is very red. You're feeling cold again. Don't tell me you've caught a cold?”
"No, it's okay. I'm not sick!”
" That's good…" Tong Jun smiled reassuringly.
I took half a step back and walked behind him. He had to keep a distance from this dangerous creature…
"Ah Chu…Ah, no, it's 'Shi Ren'. I said that the little girl who looks after the shop is very cute! Why don't we go in and take a look?"
I didn't say anything and followed him into the shop gloomily. While Hitomi was happily chatting with the little girl behind the counter, my bored gaze swept across a little boy squatting in the corner of the door.
Although he was young, the strength of his spiritual pressure far exceeded the standard of ordinary souls. His silver hair also made me feel quite close to him. I immediately stared at him.
"Hey, hey?" After a while, Tong-kun placed one hand on his waist and the other on his chin. He bent down and narrowed his eyes at the two of them."Is it a child you know?" Almost at the same time, the child and I answered at the same time.
"No more than you and that little sister.”She said without turning her head.
"Spoiled Peach, don't talk to suspicious people you don't know.”The little boy frowned and let out a cold breath. His eyes also stared at me without moving away.
Now I know why the shop is so deserted, even though there is a cute girl in charge of it. We are the only two customers here, and we are all scared away by this little flower protector. Tong Jun must have seen that their business was too bad, so he had the idea of patronizing them. He had always been such a kind and good person.
"Sigh…" Being given a double cold shoulder, even Tong Jun, who was full of enthusiasm, lowered his face listlessly."Little girl…" He leaned on the counter and winked at the little girl."I think your little samurai is a very cold person. It must be difficult to get along with such a boring guy. I know-"
He had offended two people with just one sentence. Noticing the little boy's darkened face, the girl called Xiao Tao laughed and said,"It must be an illusion caused by the color of my hair! Xiaobai was not cold at all. He was just a little shy.”
Hair color…" Am I cold too…"
"What the hell is 'shy and shy'? Also, don't call me Little White!"
The little boy and I looked at each other and saw the same vein on each other's forehead.
Tong Jun and the little girl laughed together."These two people are really alike!"
" You," Tong Jun threw me a fluffy, soft cushion and said with a smile,""I was also deceived by your cold appearance. You don't like to talk and think things through carefully. However, you love to criticize others, are extremely proud, and act coquettishly. You have a vicious mouth but a good heart. It's just that your cold face scares everyone. I've long since caught your true nature.”
Seeing my expression, he pretended to be shocked and waved his hand repeatedly."Things that I already know are like food that I've eaten. I can't possibly spit it out again, right?”
This time, not only was the little girl laughing her head off, but even that stinky little brat was laughing at me.
Sensing the sudden drop in temperature in the room, Tong Jun looked around and said timidly,""There are too many people who know me. It's not a good idea to kill me, right?”Seeing that I was still silent, he said,"Actually, it's also a kind of happiness when others know your secret, right?”
Then he stretched out his fingers and rubbed the deep wrinkles between my eyebrows. I could only snort at him.”
He changed the topic while he was ahead and came up to her with a smile."Hey, what do you think of this bird-shaped cushion?”
Was this a bird? No matter how I looked at it, it was just a round ball with eyes. However, the little girl nodded at me affirmatively and said that this was a "cute version" of a nestling.
"Look, it suits you very well!"
Which part was suitable? Looking at Tong Jun's smiling eyes, I swallowed my inner criticism. This kind of bird that doesn't look like a bird is more suitable for you.
" Cute " was completely incompatible with me, but this " Seabird Brother " seemed to be unusually persistent about everything related to " birds ". I could only nod silently, which made him clap his hands happily." Then, this is it! It looks like a very warm cushion. With it around, you won't feel cold so easily!”
I didn't expect him to still remember what I said earlier. With an inexplicable warmth in my heart, I said to the little girl,"Excuse me, how much is it?"
"No, I'll buy it." Tong Jun smiled and said,"But in exchange…you can leave it at my house."
"Can I put my special cushion in your house?”I said speechlessly.
"If not, it will be very troublesome, right? Moreover, this style is more suitable for my house than yours. Alright, it was decided.
He just decided on his own. This was very common for him. I was already very used to it.
"Thank you for coming!" After the little girl collected the money, she took out a cute pink paper bag and a silk ribbon of the same color. She carefully placed the cushion and said to me with a smile,"Miss's lover is really gentle!”
My scalp tingled as I said,"No, not lovers, childhood sweethearts."”
But that damned brat interrupted,"It's not much of a difference anyway…"
"It's completely different!"
"Then, shall I become a real lover?”
After being glared at by me, Tong Jun shrunk his neck and stuck out his tongue."I'm just joking."
Seriously…don't show such a cute expression! I blushed and turned to look at the door. I happened to see the little boy nodding thoughtfully. Brother Seabird, do you know that you're setting a bad example for children?!
"Sorry to keep you waiting." The girl handed me the wrapped paper bag with both hands.
After thanking her, I walked out of the shop first. At this time, Tong Jun muttered to himself behind me. With a face that seemed to burn, I had never wished so much that I didn't have the power to hear everything as I did then.
"…However, it won't be long.”My childhood sweetheart said with a small ambition.
