You were really cool just now.
Gojo Satoru paused for a moment.
He turned to look at Tu Bai, his eyes blinking behind his Sunglasses.
Tu Bai had a serious expression on his face.
Gojo Satoru was stunned for a moment, then smiled so widely his eyes curved.
Is that so?" he said, his tone returning to its usual lazy manner. "Then reward me tonight?
Tu Bai's face turned red in a moment.
What reward..
Gojo Satoru reached out and put his arm around his shoulder, pulling him closer to his side.
"What do you think?" He leaned close to Tu Bai's ear and whispered something.
Tu Bai's ears turned bright red.
He pushed Gojo Satoru away and quickened his pace to walk forward.
Gojo Satoru was laughing behind him, laughing in an incredibly obnoxious way.
---
By the time he returned to the Apartment, it was already dark.
Tu Bai came out after showering, his hair still dripping with water. He glanced at Gojo Satoru sitting on the Sofa; that man was holding a Mobile Phone and sending a Message, appearing to be handling some business.
He quietly slipped into the bedroom, crawled under the Pillow, wrapped himself into a ball.
He closed his eyes.
Pretending to sleep.
I'll drag it out as long as I can.
Footsteps came from the Living Room, getting closer and closer. The Bedroom Door was pushed open.
Tu Bai closed his eyes even tighter.
The Pillow was lifted slightly, allowing a draft of cold air to seep in, followed by the movement of someone lying down.
It was quiet for a few seconds.
Then a hand reached out and touched his waist.
Tu Bai's body stiffened, but he still did not move.
That hand began to scratch him.
Starting from his waist, the fingers moved incredibly fast, making the itch so intense that Tu Bai almost cried out. He bit his lips, enduring it.
But that hand became increasingly excessive, scratching from his waist to his armpits, from his armpits to his neck.
Tu Bai finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
Hahahaha—Stop, stop scratching me—
He rolled around laughing, trying to dodge that hand. But Gojo Satoru pulled him back and continued to scratch him.
Pretending to sleep?" Gojo Satoru's voice carried a hint of laughter, "Hmm?
I'm not pretending anymore, I'm not pretending anymore—" Tu Bai laughed until he was breathless, tears even pricking the corners of his eyes, "Let me go, hahahaha—
Gojo Satoru stopped.
But that hand was still on his waist.
Tu Bai lay in Bed, panting heavily, his Eyes wet, his face flushed from laughing too hard. His Hair was messy and scattered across the Pillow, the buttons of his Sleep Pants had somehow come undone, revealing his collarbone and a small patch of his Chest.
He just looked at Gojo Satoru like that.
Gojo Satoru was also looking at him.
Those Blue Eyes stared at his face, slowly moving down to his collarbone, down to his Chest, then back to his face.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
“Baby,” Gojo Satoru spoke, his voice a bit hoarse, "Where is the promised reward?"
Tu Bai's face turned even redder.
He reached out, grabbed the pillow beside him, covered his face with it.
A muffled voice drifted out from under the Pillow: ".. I don't know what reward."
Gojo Satoru laughed.
He leaned down, snatched away the Pillow, tossed it aside.
Tu Bai's face was revealed, his eyes wide open, with a few teardrops still clinging to his eyelashes.
Gojo Satoru leaned down and kissed him.
Tu Bai froze for a second, then closed his eyes.
——
When he woke up on Day 2, Gojo Satoru was already gone.
There was breakfast on the Nightstand, along with a Note:
[Off to Jujutsu High, will be back in the evening. Get some good rest. By the way, next time you pretend to sleep, remember to breathe and don't hold your breath; it's too fake. ——Satoru]
A rabbit was drawn at the bottom, making a middle finger gesture.
Tu Bai looked at that Note, stunned for a few seconds.
Then he crumpled the note into a ball, tossed it aside, buried his face in his Pillow.
His ears turned bright red.
---
In the afternoon, Tu Bai's Mobile Phone rang.
He picked it up to look; it was an unfamiliar number.
After a moment of hesitation, he still answered.
Hello?
There was a silence of two seconds on the other end, then a man's voice came through.
“Tu Bai, right?”
Tu Bai frowned. "Who are you?"
Me.." That voice laughed, "Weren't you looking for me a few days ago?
Tu Bai's hands suddenly gripped his Mobile Phone tightly.
Terrible
"That useless Mahito is truly unreliable." Tu Yi muttered to himself, his voice filled with frustration.
Tu Bai said nothing.
Tell Gojo Satoru, that he's being too much of a brat!
The Phone was hung up.
Tu Bai gripped his Mobile Phone, stunned for a long time.
Then he dialed Gojo Satoru's phone.
Senpai—
I know." Gojo Satoru's voice came from the other end of the Phone, sounding a bit heavy. "Someone just sent me a Message. Shibuya.
Tu Bai opened his mouth.
What is the date today?
"October 30th," Tu Bai said.
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the Phone.
Tomorrow," Gojo Satoru said. "He will be there tomorrow.
Tu Bai's heart sank.
He wanted to say something, but Gojo Satoru spoke first.
Xiao Bai, stay at home tomorrow; don't go anywhere.
But—
No 'buts'." Gojo Satoru's voice was very calm, but it was unnervingly calm. "This time, listen to me.
Tu Bai gripped his Mobile Phone tightly.
.. Understood.
After hanging up the phone, he sat on the sofa, staring blankly outside the window.
Tomorrow.
October 31st.
Shibuya.
Chapter 58
Evening on October 31st.
Gojo Satoru stood at the entrance changing his shoes, wearing a Black Jujutsu High Uniform with the cuffs tightened and the trouser legs tucked into his boots. His usual Sunglasses had been replaced by a black Blindfold, covering most of his face.
Tu Bai leaned against the Sofa, watching him.
Gojo Satoru changed his shoes, walked over, came to a halt in front of him.
