It was morning when Akaashi came the next day, and Hezuki had just finished breakfast and was in the process of infusion.

There was a polite knock on the door, and the young man with rose hair opened the door and walked in, dressed neatly in a Western uniform, holding a bouquet of peach snow mountains in his hand.

Heyue: "...?"

Heyue gave him a confused look.

Peach Snow Mountain, a new rose variety cultivated by Lex Voorn of the Netherlands, is an extremely high-end cut flower in Europe. It is currently used in important ceremonies such as royal coronations and weddings.

Akashi directly gave her a big bunch of hair. What does that mean?

"From Kurosawa Ayaka to Hoshikawa Tsurugi, it is an important milestone for you. There is no major ceremony. This is just a celebration for you."

Akashi Seijuro placed the bouquet next to the hospital bed and sat down on the chair brought by the bodyguard.

Heyue: "..."

Very good, this flower is very fragrant.

She picked up the note pad beside her and quickly wrote "Thank you".

Akashi Seijuro took another black gift box from the bodyguard and handed it to her.

The gift box has exquisite dark patterns, a low-key dark purple satin ribbon tied with a bow, and a holiday princess pinned on it.

Perhaps in case Hezuki refused, Akashi Seijuro added, "This is what Aunt Saori left for you."

Heyue's long eyelashes trembled, and an inexplicable sense of emptiness swept over her heart.

She couldn't tell what she felt like, maybe it was sadness, maybe guilt, maybe regret, it was enough to stop her thoughts.

She often wonders whether her leaving alone in the fire was a kind of abandonment and betrayal for her mother——

In such strong blood, she abandoned her mother and ran into the night alone, leaving her in the endless fire.

The police did not find the mother's body.

This means that the mother may have turned into a handful of ashes in the explosion, scattered in the cold sea water, and may have been used as food by some fish.

Whenever he thought of this possibility, Heyue felt a chill spread from Tianling Gai to his limbs, even the seams between his bones were cold.

She left behind the person who cherished her most, this is an irrefutable fact.

At this time, the young man's clear voice interrupted her thoughts, "Open it and take a look."

Heyue lowered her eyes, pulled out the ribbon, put the holiday princess aside, and slowly opened the gift box.

What comes into view is an exquisite crown. Many pink diamonds are like dots of stars, surrounding the largest pink diamond. The pink diamond reveals a little clear purple, is cut into a suitable shape, and is embedded in that place. Among the circles of blue diamonds, there is a cat outlined with broken diamonds below.

Fantastic colors and styling.

For Heyue at this age, she is too cute.

"This is Aunt Saori's 8th birthday gift for you."

Akashi Seijuro met Hezuki's blank gaze and explained, "She bought this pink diamond at an auction. She drew the design herself. At that time, she was contacted by the master sculptor with the help of her father, so it's something They are all temporarily stored at Akashi's residence in Kyoto."

"The master sculptor had the design idea when your accident happened, and he didn't continue it after that. The things have always been left at my place."

"It just so happens that your 17th birthday is coming soon. I asked him to rush it out and adjust the size according to your age. Let it be your coronation gift from aunt."

Akashi Seijuro looked at her, obviously expressionless, but he still showed some tolerance in his tone.

Heyue had to admit that although this young man was the same age as herself, his mind was much more mature than hers, whether it was teaching her to play chess in a strict manner when he was young, or he calmly asked and proposed himself after receiving her news half a year ago. suggestion, or perhaps he came here with this crown as a coronation ceremony to congratulate her on her new life.

The Hoshikawa Residence in Kyoto was already in Ueshima's name and had been renovated by him. Heyue didn't want to fight for it, so he simply gave up the inheritance and let Akashi take over as his villa.

As for the paintings left by Saori Hoshikawa, they were basically brought to the island and sold. Tsuruzuki did not investigate who the buyer was, and she was not interested in where the money was spent. All of them were left to Genji Morio, who should be investigated. Trace.

She just got her name back, but from today on, she bids farewell to the past completely and will only look forward.

Akashi Seijuro told Tsurugi about the properties that Hoshikawa Saori left in Kyoto. Since the accident that year, all the profitable ones were taken away by Hoshikawa, while those that were not very profitable were bought by Akashi. In the past few years, he has owned Helping to take care of it.

Heyue had no intention of getting it back. She didn't have the ability or the intention. Since the explosion ten years ago, her fate had already shifted.

If there hadn't been that explosion, with her talent and the teachings of Saori Hoshikawa, she might have embarked on the path of art, become a gentle and dignified lady, become a painter like her mother, and marry a man who is the same as her when she reaches the age. The man who treated each other with respect was probably the Akashi Seijuro in front of him.

After all, Akashi and Hoshikawa had already acquiesced to the plan of marriage back then. Seijuro and Tsurugi knew from that time that their future partners would be each other.

But Heyue is no longer the little princess who was admired by the stars. She gave up painting and embarked on the path of scientific research. In the future, she will continue to move forward on this path, with her ability and the attention of the National Police Agency. To this extent, her future partner is likely to be a reliable police officer from the police system, which is equivalent to a marriage.

Of course, she didn't care who her future partner was.

As for the verbal "engagement" back then, both Heyue and Akashi Seijuro tacitly agreed not to mention it again.

After Akashi Seijuro got the news about her, his help to her overtly and covertly in the past few months was considered to be a consideration of the friendship between the two families. He Yue did not want to take advantage of him.

Heyue put the gift box aside and expressed her thoughts in the label book.

Akashi Seijuro's expression didn't change much. In fact, he had already anticipated her plan.

The boy nodded in agreement with her suggestion, and then mentioned another matter, "You still have your yard in the Kyoto mansion. If you need to rest, you can come to my place."

He is currently studying at Rakuzan High School in Kyoto. If Heyue goes to Kyoto to recuperate, it will be convenient for him to take care of her.

Heyue shook her head, lowered her head and wrote a few words on the note pad: [Thank you, no need, I still have to go to class]

Akashi Seijuro looked at her quietly, not knowing what he thought of. His expression became slightly gentler, and the curve of his lips relaxed a lot. "If you need anything, please contact me directly and I will pick you up."

Heyue did not refuse anymore and nodded in agreement.

Of course, she wouldn't actually let a high school student pick her up.

Akashi Seijuro asked her again, "I heard that you are going to MIT next year. Is it confirmed?"

Heyue nodded, and there were a few more words on the note pad: [Confirmed, will not change]

Her expression was solemn and firm, and her eyes were as bright as stars, adding a bit of vitality to the already pale, slender and broken person.

Akashi Seijuro did not continue to ask her about her specific arrangements, but just nodded, "I understand."

His eyes were still calm, with some subtleties that Heyue couldn't understand. For a moment, something flashed through her mind, but for that moment, she didn't catch it.

Heyue was in a daze for a few seconds, and when she came back to her senses, the eyes of the young man in front of her suddenly turned one golden and one red.

Heyue: "...?"

Beautiful... colored contact lenses?
