Chapter Eighty-Seven: Once Upon a Time

In the evening, the streets of the 13th arrondissement are filled with the emotional laughter of the students, especially at the entrance of the school, which is constantly pouring out of the students' campus.

Akita couldn't help but smile on his face as he looked at the bustling campus gate, and looking at the scene in front of him, for a moment Akita's thoughts seemed to return to his junior high school days.

Although not much time has passed, that memory seems far away to Akita.

"It's really a youthful age!" Akita suddenly let out a sigh of "old", and as soon as the words came out, Akita also realized that he was too "worried about the new words", and turned his head to Zhizhi on the side and smiled.

At this time, Zhizhi's eyes were also staring at the campus in a daze, and he didn't care about what Akita had just said, and Sesame beside him was concentrating on fighting the lollipop in his hand, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Akita.

Seeing this, Akita waved his hand rather wryly, and then turned his gaze back to the campus and said to Zhizhi, "Why do you suddenly want to come back to see your alma mater?"

Zhizhi said softly: "I just remembered a lot of things. ”

Akita said: "I think I miss my teacher and classmates, but now that everyone is going their separate ways, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get together in the future..."

Zhizhi shook his head and said: "Some partings are destined to be inevitable, meeting is fate, and you will not regret it if you cherish it in that fateful time." What about you, did you have any nostalgia when you were in middle school?"

Akita smiled bitterly and said, "Me? Haha, no, life in junior high school is a dark time in my life, and I remember that the first thing I looked forward to when I woke up every day was to graduate this morning." ”

Zhizhi was silent, she remembered Akita when she was in junior high school, he was still quite obese, and he wore a pair of heavy glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he was not outstanding in the class in terms of appearance and academics, and his personality was honest and introverted, so he naturally became the target of bullying by others.

It's really hard to miss such a miserable life experience, but a look of loneliness immediately appeared on Akita's face.

"But it wasn't useless at the time, after all, I still have a very good friend..."

The person Akita was talking about, Shiba, too, knew it, but she also knew that it was now a crumbling mass of ashes.

Looking at Akita's lonely appearance, Zhizhi couldn't help but feel a little distressed in her heart, and subconsciously reached out to hold Akita's hand.

A warm current surged into Akita's heart, and Akita showed the same smile to Zhizhi, and the two of them didn't need to say much, everything was silent.

The sesame seeds on the side were still eating candy, and they had forgotten the purpose and mission of their stalking.

Time passed in a flash, and the flow of people after school quickly dispersed, and the rest of the students who left one after another were students who had finished club activities.

Akita bowed his head and pondered for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say to Zhizhi, "You... Is it the first time I've seen Hugo today?"

Zhizhi couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and just wanted to deny it, but she met Akita's serious blazing gaze, so Zhizhi's words were swallowed.

With a sigh of relief, Zhizhi said to Akita, "You come to another place with me." ”

Akita wanted to continue asking, but looking at Zhizhi's expression, it seemed like he was going to give himself an answer there.

Soon, Zhizhi took Akita and Sesame to a dimly lit alley, and there was still a little sunset in the alley. However, it is sparsely populated, and there is no sign of anyone.

Zhizhi paused slowly, and let out a long and deep sigh of relief, although the incident had long passed, the terrible memory was always as vivid as if it had just happened.

Zhizhi has not been here since the accident that night, but today when she saw Hugo again, she decided to come back.

"Maybe I've met him," Zhizhi murmured softly.

Akita frowned and said, "Is this here?" Zhizhi nodded, and Akita's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle even more.

Seeing this, Zhizhi smiled and said: "Don't be cranky, it's true that I met him here, but it's not as you imagined, Hugo he saved me here." ”

Yes!

Akita couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this.

His voice caused Sesame to notice, looked up at Akita, and then said very dissatisfied: "Second sister, where is this? It's so dark and terrifying!"

Zhizhi glanced at Akita rather complainingly, and then said to Zhima in a harmonious voice, "No problem, let's get out of here." With that, he motioned for Akita to leave here.

The two of them walked so slowly that Sesame Seed, who was eating, walked in front, and Akita and Shibashi were like a couple walking on the street, leisurely watching over their children in the rear.

"Hugo he... Saved you?" Akita asked softly again, and Shiba-shiba nodded.

"It was a dangerous night, and if he hadn't shown up at the right time, I would have died on the spot. ”

Although Zhizhi's demeanor was very calm when she recounted this memory, she couldn't help but be shocked when she heard it in Akita's ears, and her face looked extremely pale.

Zhizhi smiled faintly and said, "Fortunately, everything has passed." ”

"In the time since, I've been looking for him, but the results have not been satisfactory. After a long time, it began to fade away. I have acquaintances who work in the Metropolitan Police Department, so I know that there were no casualties during those days, and I feel a lot more relieved. Don't want to be in today... Hehe, it really surprised me. ”

Akita said in a low voice, "I see, so why didn't you identify it by calling up the student's information in the first place?"

Zhizhi said: "At that time, I was very emotionally unstable, and I had no intention or ability to discern it, so I was not forced to do these things out of concern for my health and safety. But when I met him again today, all the memories in my mind were instantly awakened, although his current image was not much different from before. ”

Akita couldn't help but grin when he heard this: "That's true, Hugo has a strong strength, no matter what danger he faces, he should be able to get out of the way, and now it seems that this is indeed the case." ”

Zhizhi looked at Akita quietly, and suddenly asked him, "Akita I want to ask you a question, I hope you can answer me truthfully." ”

Akita looked stunned, then nodded.

"Hugo he... Isn't it like you..."

Zhizhi's question is not clear, but the intention is clear, and what she asks is whether Hugo is a new human.

"Uhh

But his hesitation speaks for itself.

Zhizhi nodded, looking up at the already dark sky.

"And so it was..."
