[Comprehensive] The posture of rebirth is not right

chapter31

On the day of the funeral, the weather was fine.The warm sun shone on his body and felt comfortable, and the breeze blew past him, just like his mother's gentle and watery personality.

As he remembered, the mourning hall was arranged in the front hall.Looking up, all the reflections in the eyes are pure white.His mother's portrait hangs in the center, smiling at the pedestrians who come and go.

There were many people attending the funeral, most of whom admired the prestige of the Akashi family or some collaborators.After those people said some ceremonial words in a symbolic manner, they retreated to the hall on the other side, picked up glasses of red wine and spoke in official accents, chatted with people they knew well, or used this to get acquainted Some dignitaries.

Akashi didn't pay attention to the expressions of each of them, and knelt in front of the mourning hall blankly, recalling the warmth of the scenes of the past life mixed with the present life.My mind is like a movie with the play button pressed, and even many forgotten memories keep popping up.

He didn't know how long he had been kneeling, but he only remembered what the steward had said to him, and then he got up and stood quietly aside.Listening to those people saying some seemingly regrettable words such as mourning that the dead cannot be resurrected.

He couldn't help thinking that in that life, he also looked at those people with such cold eyes.Seeing them expressing their sadness with sad expressions one second, and smiling at each other in the corner the next second.

He was very angry because he didn't understand anything at that time.Why don't they feel a little bit sad, why do they have to smile so happily, why do they have to attend this kind of funeral with a fake attitude.Only later did he gradually understand that human beings are such a creature.

What's more, they have nothing to do with the Akashi family except for the relationship of interests. Why should they be sad? They can see that it is enough benevolence to attend the funeral with the surname "Akashi".

"Young Master, Master asked me to take you there." The housekeeper who appeared at an unknown time stood in front of him and pulled him back from the endless memories.

He nodded, and followed the tired-looking housekeeper out of the front hall and into the courtyard.At this time, his father and Chong Ye had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Father." He walked up to the two and called his father softly.

"Seijuro, you two go to the restaurant to eat first, and go to bed early after eating." Akashi Seitomi was also haggard, his eyes were bloodshot red, and even his voice was hoarse.

"Yes." Akashi did not reject his father's kindness, restrained his emotions, and walked towards the side door with Chong Ye.

After walking a few steps, Akashi stopped, turned his head and said to Akashi Masami, "Please also rest well, Father."

When I first heard this sentence, Akashi Masomi was obviously stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was Akashi's concern for him.The grief caused by the death of his wife was also comforted a little.

"Seijuro has grown up." Seeing his son's back going away, Akashi Seishomi said with emotion, his tone full of pride and relief.

'Shiori, look, Seijuro has grown up. '

Yes, the once small and well-behaved child has faded away, and has grown into the sensible and considerate appearance he is now

Akashi Masomi's thoughts drifted back to when the child was young.But I found that the child liked to act like a baby to them before he was three years old, and would occasionally cry and complain that he didn't like to learn those things.But most of the time, the child is seriously studying the lessons of enlightenment education assigned by him.

After the age of three, the child seemed to have changed into a different person overnight, extremely obedient.Don't act like a baby to them anymore, no matter how much you learn, you won't cry.It gave him the feeling that he suddenly woke up and understood the responsibility he shouldered, which made him feel relieved.I am relieved that the child understands everything he has to bear alone, and I am relieved that the child understands his good intentions.

There were so many gaps until the kid went to Italy at the age of six.He can only guess what he has experienced from a few words from his wife when he is free from work.He didn't understand the world of the mafia, but he was still faintly worried after hearing the overwhelming news.

When the child returned to him again, he realized that as a superior, he had a very thorough grasp of people's hearts, and he was unable to see through his son's true thoughts buried under the calm surface. The distress of that child.He has always understood that he owes him a childhood he never dreamed of.

Chong Ye was even more worried when he saw Akashi who was as quiet as the previous few days, he was afraid that Akashi would not be able to bear such pain.But looking at Akashi's calm expression, he didn't know what to say for a while, full of comforting words.

After quietly finishing dinner, Chong Ye finally made up his mind, and immediately took Akashi back to the cherry blossom tree in the back garden.Akashi did not resist, allowing Chong Ye to be pulled.

"Xiao... Xiaozheng?" After hesitating for a long time, Chong Ye spoke anxiously.

Akashi raised his eyebrows and looked at Chong Ye who was hesitating to speak, expressing that he was listening carefully and quietly waiting for Chong Ye's next words.

Seeing Akashi's obedient baby, Chong Ye's comforting words were stifled in his stomach.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Chong Ye's tangled appearance, Akashi guessed what Chong Ye wanted to say, but he still asked.

"Xiaozheng, if you are sad, just cry out, don't hold on so hard."

"I know that Xiaozheng has always been strong, and he has taken on everything by himself. But I don't want to see Xiaozheng working so hard. Oh, how should I put it, I am older than Xiaozheng, and I can be regarded as Xiaozheng's brother. Xiaozheng also needs to rely on me once in a while. I don’t want to see Xiaozheng who is obviously very sad but has been stubborn.” Chong Ye eagerly wanted to express his inner thoughts to Akashi, and he did not write a single word of his inner thoughts. Said it all.

Hearing Chong Ye's concern, Akashi was slightly touched.Besides his father and mother, he also had Chong Ye by his side.Akashi raised his head slightly, and met Chong Ye's gaze: "No, I didn't push myself hard."

Not crying does not mean not being sad, only Akashi himself knows his true inner thoughts.Although he has experienced it once, he still can't do it, and can only say things against his will.That woman was not only his closest mother, but also the only person who supported him through his boring childhood and stayed by his side. How could he not be sad.

"Xiao Zheng!" Chong Ye shouted angrily.He didn't believe Akashi's words at all, what could Akashi's appearance be called stubbornness.

"Chong Ye, thank you, I'm not very sad." Akashi smiled at Chong Ye, he didn't know his mood at the moment.

sad?Sad, but not that kind of emotion.No one can do anything about this established life and death.Because she left this world with a smile at the last moment, and because she didn't want the people he cared about to be immersed in this kind of sadness.

"Because, mom doesn't want to see me sad." Akashi said reminiscently, then lowered his head again, and a muffled voice came from his mouth: "It's also because I am Akashi Seijuro."

With such a simple sentence without any embellishments, Chong Ye completely understood.Not only because he lived up to his mother's good expectations, but also because as Akashi, he didn't allow such emotions to exist.Not everyone can bear the proud surname of Akashi.

The things Akashi shouldered, the responsibilities he shouldered were far more than he imagined.If Akashi is not strong, who will be strong for him.Chong Ye thought, probably there was no one there.

What's more, they are still members of the elite assassination team - Balian.Those emotions that shouldn't exist have already been discarded, and the lives that passed away in their hands also obeyed the arrangement of fate.

"Xiaozheng, I said I would be by your side, and I will definitely be by your side. Xiaozheng will try to rely on me in the future." Watching Akashi, Chong Ye said firmly, as if addressing the world. swear.

"Okay." Akashi agreed.

Another simple promise, it is destined that the two will be entangled together, no matter what, they will cut off the constant fetters.

After the funeral, Akashi Seishomi gave some simple instructions to the housekeeper, and then went to work.Trying to use work to cover up and numb himself, the education of Akashi has become more stringent.

The entire Akashi family is still the same as usual, except that there is one less hostess and one more chef.

Akashi has no complaints about the courses arranged by Akashi Seiyuki.He didn't feel bored at that time, and he doesn't feel bored now.

Only Chong Ye looked at the more arduous schoolwork than before, and complained for Akashi.However, after seeing Akashi's normal expression, Chong Ye remembered that those homework were simply a piece of cake for the talented Akashi.Akashi wouldn't take these things seriously.

Chong Ye has always felt that Akashi is the one he admires the most. Although his grades are not too bad under Akashi's guidance, they are far from as good as Akashi's.In addition to the fact that his schoolwork was aggravated, Chong Ye found that Akashi had become more gentle and liked to laugh more.

At least when getting along with others in normal times, the aura that Akashi used to exude from time to time seems to have faded away, leaving only gentleness.Only Chong Ye knew that Akashi became more restrained and self-sustaining, hiding that part of his personality, the gentler he was on the surface, the more alienated he was in his heart.

Chong Ye never understood why Akashi changed suddenly, but he vaguely felt that it might have something to do with Akashi's mother.

After the last exam for the elementary school promotion, when it was necessary to apply for the school, Chong Ye didn't know how to choose among the many junior high schools, so he had to hand over the choice to Akashi.

What Chong Ye didn't know was that Akashi was also hesitating.

"Teiko." Akashi stopped when he saw the words 'Teiko Middle School'.The tone is full of nostalgia, but also has an unpredictable feeling.

"Xiaozheng wants to choose Diguang?" Chong Ye, with sharp ears, immediately moved over.

"No, it hasn't been decided yet." Akashi handed Chong Ye a piece of paper, on which were written three prestigious schools in parallel.

Chong Ye opened the introductions of those schools, and the popularity of these schools was about the same.One school is a century-old school with rich experience in teachers; the other school is an aristocratic school with first-class teaching equipment and teachers who are currently masters and doctors; the other school is not as good as the first two schools. , but there are also a lot of talents sent to major colleges and universities every year, and they just fight their way out.

Seeing Akashi's hesitation, Chong Ye opened Teiko's profile again.Although Diguang's teaching quality is a little worse than those of the three schools, it is surprising that it is a basketball giant.

"Xiaozheng, choose Teiko." Chong Ye suggested to Akashi, pointing to the words 'basketball giants'.

"Don't Xiaozheng like basketball very much? Then go to Diguang, maybe there will be teammates that Xiaozheng wants."

Chong Ye guessed secretly, after all, it was a giant basketball team, so there must be many basketball talents.With Akashi's ability, of course his future teammates can't be too bad. His heart is full of expectations for junior high school life.

"The teammate you want?" Akashi murmured, and figures flashed in front of his eyes. There were teammates from Teiko's time, and there were teammates from Luoshan's time.In fact, compared to a talented team like Miracle, a team like Luoshan is what he wants.

"Yeah, Xiaozheng, you see, this is a giant basketball school. There must be many talented people in basketball who choose this school."

"I really want to see Xiaozheng galloping on the court."

Chong Ye said with longing, as if he had seen Akashi's match.

"Okay." After hesitating for a long time, Akashi picked up a pen and wrote the four words 'Teiko Middle School' on it.

It wasn't just because of Chong Ye's words that shook him, but in the final analysis, it was because of his mother's words.

'Mom likes Xiaozheng playing basketball the most. 'This sentence has been lingering in his ears, entrenched in his heart, indelible.

Seeing that Akashi had filled out the school, Chong Ye also picked up the pen and wrote the same school.

During the few days of vacation, Akashi and Chong Ye received a call from Xanxus, and then they were packed and thrown into a broken valley in the west of Sicily, which was nicknamed: Trial.

It wasn't until the school was about to start that Xanxus sent them back to Japan with a wave of his hand.
