Jingle bell, the school bell rang. After straightening her somewhat disheveled hair, my wife Yuno walked out of the classroom.

The access control time at home is very strict. If you are even one minute late, the result will be terrifying when you return home. It is so terrifying that just thinking about it will make your body start to tremble slowly.

But when the reporter was supposed to be rushing home, my wife Yuno suddenly stopped and turned on her cell phone with a click.

The green shell like a lawn was opened, and my wife Yuno carefully read the message from Liu Mengchao word by word through the light reflected by the screen.

"get out of class is over, please come to the back of the teaching building. I'm under the fifth tree from the bottom. Please call me when you get there."

Call him...gate...cage...abused...

My wife Yuno couldn't help being stunned. She didn't know what to do. Should she risk being locked in a cage to see Liu Mengchao, or should she go home obediently.

Although her mother was very harsh on herself, Yuno always felt that her mother was just sick. If someone cured her, she would still be able to have a happy family.

But... why did the steps suddenly stop?

My wife Yuno stared blankly at the messages on her phone, her fingers moving involuntarily. She pressed lightly on the keyboard of her phone.

The screen lit up.

"July 29th.

After I said goodbye to Liu Jun at the school gate today, I have been thinking about him all day. I always feel that I am very happy when I am with him. I am so happy, so happy. I really hope that I can see him at a glance after school.

.”

"Yuno. Aren't you going home yet?"

The classmates next to me kindly walked past my wife Yuno and said hello to my wife. However, my wife Yuno did not respond with a smile as usual. She just turned around and walked towards the back of the teaching building.

Even though I will still be locked in a cage tonight, I still want to see Mr. Liu. I can’t explain why, but my wife Yuno vaguely feels that Liu Mengchao suddenly wants to meet me, and there must be something important, something very, very important.

.

Thinking of this, my wife Yuno couldn't help but walk faster and hurried through the teaching building.

"One...two...three...four...five..."

The fifth tree from the last.

My wife, Yuno, stood there, dumbfounded. She looked back and forth under the tree. After finding that Liu Mengchao was nowhere to be found, my wife, Yuno, counted from the beginning again.

One...two...three...four...five...

Lesson 5: There is no one under the tree.

Whether it is the fifth-to-last tree from the left or the fifth-to-last tree from the right, there is no sign of Liu Mengchao. There is no message left by him.

I... was deceived...

I didn't feel anything else, I just felt cold. My wife Yuno couldn't help but raise her head. The sun in the sky had already set. It had fallen to a place where she couldn't see it, and it also took away the sunshine she loved.

Leave no trace of light behind.

"Why did you lie to me..." With trembling hands, he took out the mobile phone from his pocket and opened it with a snap. My wife Yuno looked at the name on the screen and pressed it tremblingly.

Call sign.

Suddenly, like lightning in the night sky, the phone rang not far away from me. I raised my head in disbelief. My wife Yuno closed her eyes and slowly walked in the direction of the sound. This

For once, she did not rely on her eyes, but relied on her ears to listen and move in the direction of the ringing. She walked very slowly, for fear of accidentally missing the message left by Liu Mengchao.

"ah!"

Staggering, my wife Yuno stared blankly at the person who appeared under her.

Liu Mengchao was lying on the grass. His arms were pillowed under his head. He was breathing evenly and there was no snoring.

"Liu Mengchao..." My wife Yuno knelt down. She squatted beside Liu Mengchao and looked at his sleeping face, rising and falling slightly with each breath.

The soft shouting did not wake up Liu Mengchao. My wife, Yuno, raised her head and looked around. The fifth tree from the right was where she was.

Discovering this, my wife Yuno stood up curiously and walked to the tree. Suddenly she found Liu Mengchao lying there, not going anywhere.

Then why didn't you see him just now? She smiled and shook her head, her pink hair swaying gently behind her. My wife Yuno gave up thinking about this question that she couldn't think of an answer to, and simply sat next to Liu Mengchao. She held up her hands

He sat down holding his knees, listening quietly to Liu Mengchao's breathing, and then raised his head and looked up at the stars.

Because of the access control, my wife Yuno has never seen the starry sky outside at night. The starry night sky is indescribably quiet and peaceful, and when the starlight shines down on me along with the moonlight, there is actually a sense of

Feeling warm.

This feeling is very comfortable, so comfortable that it makes people want to close their eyes and hum softly, humming a song that I don’t know the name of but it is the song that I want to sing the most, and sing to the people I want to listen to.

The singing voice is very light, light and soft.

The most important thing was that it sounded really good to Liu Mengchao, so he laughed.

There were still traces of sweat on Liu Mengchao's head when he was thinking during the day. He opened his eyes slightly and found that there was no dazzling sunlight, but the faint moonlight shining on his face.

It feels good, especially when the people around you are humming softly.

"It sounds really good." Liu Mengchao said with a smile, but he still didn't get up. He was lying on the lawn with his arms under his head.

"Are you awake?!" Hearing Liu Mengchao's voice, my wife Yuno immediately leaned down and looked at the boy in her eyes with hope.

"Um."

Liu Mengchao responded slowly. The scene of raising his head from the ground and looking up at the stars is really beautiful. My wife Yuno's pink hair hangs down from both sides, being blown slowly by the night wind. It seems like she is dancing in the wind.

From the willow branches, a little bit of silver starlight leaked out from among the pink hair, and sprinkled it carefully on her face.

"Doesn't the access control matter?" Liu Mengchao asked softly.

"Hmm..." Shaking her head, my wife Yuno also responded softly.

Looking at each other and smiling, Liu Mengchao worked hard to get up from the ground, without brushing off the dust on his body, and sat directly next to my wife Yuno.

The two people leaned against each other and looked up at the sky.

"I said..." Liu Mengchao felt the person behind him smiling and said, "If you are locked in a cage at night, I will rescue you, okay?"

"Mother……"

Are you worried that I, a killer, will kill your mother? Hearing the voice of my wife Yuno behind him, Liu Mengchao shook his head and laughed.

"I will find the key and let you out secretly. This is a secret between the two of us workers."

"Um!"

He nodded heavily, because his back was to Liu Mengchao and he didn't have to worry about his expression being seen, so my wife Yuno blushed fiercely.

"Then..." Liu Mengchao breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Let's go?"

"Okay..." My wife Yuno stood up and turned around to look at Liu Mengchao behind her. The boy's figure under the night sky was swaying slightly, as if he was drunk.

"What’s wrong with you?"

It was only then that my wife, Yuno, noticed Liu Mengchao's face. It was a little pale when he just fell asleep. Now it is even whiter.

"Excessive use of my brain." Liu Mengchao smiled and pointed at his head, "But don't worry, I am more or less a genius."

genius?

This was the last thought of my wife Yuno. She could not remember the rest clearly. She only remembered that she supported Liu Mengchao and walked slowly on the way home, and then listened to him chattering about what if a person becomes a spirit.

Splitting may lead to obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Smiling and shaking her head, she eliminated these messy thoughts from her mind. For the first time, my wife Yuno felt that being locked in a cage was not a bad thing.

Yes, it's not a bad thing.

On the way back, I felt a little dizzy until my mother scolded me and put me in a cage. My wife, Yuno, didn't even recover.

The dark scene around her didn't seem to be a scary thing in Yuno's eyes. Instead, she felt a sense of expectation, just like the sleeping beauty in the fairy tale sleeping in the castle, waiting for the prince to come to her and kiss her awake.

Breathe...breathe...

Liu Mengchao stood in the courtyard of my wife's house, with the gravel paving beside the pool under his feet. Now Liu Mengchao felt that his mind was like these gravels, split into dozens of small pieces.

This kind of dizzy feeling is no stranger to Liu Mengchao. The sequelae caused by forcibly empathizing with the opponent's main god in the afternoon are now being eliminated bit by bit.

Liu Mengchao took the mobile phone out of his arms and opened it with a "click" sound.

"July 29th.

I sent my wife Yuno to school.

Then I used the empathic method under the tree to forcibly simulate the emotions of the opponent's main god, and further judged her thoughts: to use my wife Yuno's time and space jump in the previous week to kill myself. Unless I stand by and watch Yuno now,

Otherwise, the breakup between me and Yuno from last week will be inevitable.

Then, in order to avoid the sequelae of empathy, I slept under a tree in the school for a whole afternoon. It turns out that the enhancement of the hidden figure in Assassin's Creed is still useful. Unless it is broken, no one can discover me.

After returning home with Yuno, the next step is to fulfill our promise. To be a prince who kisses the princess awake."

Liu Mengchao moved his fingers quickly, recording what happened to him throughout the day.

There is still one year and one day left...

Liu Mengchao looked at the time on his phone that jumped to July 30, and shook his head gently. His plan was going well.

With a click, the door was opened.
