"Mr. Skylark, these are afternoon snacks."

Just looking at the way Mr. Yunque sat in the room and stared at the courtyard, Qianqiu could feel that he was in a good mood at the moment.Compared with the low and gloomy atmosphere before, it is obviously much more relaxed now.Of course, part of the reason is that she now thinks that Mr. Skylark is not as scary as he imagined.

As long as the doubts that have been clogged in his heart no longer become obstacles, Mr. Skylark does not seem to be too scary.It stands to reason that he saved himself, moved out of his residence unconditionally, and provided the most exquisite food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is enough sincerity.

Qian Qiu put the tray on the table, and followed Mr. Skylark's eyes to look at the courtyard.

Winter has come to an end, and spring is coming with the reveal of the buds.This room full of forest green also began to become vivid, although the spring is cold, it can't stop the whole garden from being alive.

"Today is yokan?"

Being interrupted by the question, Qianqiu turned her head to meet Yunque's calm eyes, and nodded modestly, "Yes."

The yokan served in a celadon vessel has a light warm honey color, smooth and even, like a perfectly cut jade.This appearance reminded Hibari of the box of yokan that was rejected.

The sweetness and gentleness of the entrance linger on the tip of the tongue, and the taste of red bean paste invades the taste buds a little bit, but it will not feel overly sweet.With a cup of hot tea, it is the most suitable refreshment in the afternoon.

Skylark nodded slightly, holding the teacup in his palm.

"What a cute doll..." Qianqiu picked up the tray after placing the refreshments, but her eyes fell on a bird doll placed in the corner of the table.Petite and exquisite but lifelike, the small body seems to contain the arrogance of soaring into the sky.Although it doesn't look particularly expensive, nor does it look like Mr. Skylark's style, but such a streamlined shape is unexpectedly suitable for the solemnity here.

Qian Qiu stretched out his hand and tapped the bird's beak lightly, feeling that this cute little thing looked very friendly.

"I never thought that Mr. Skylark would like such a doll."

It must be placed on the desk case of the weekday office, and it must be given special attention-especially in this place with simple furnishings.There are almost no other furnishings in this room, but the presence of this little bird adds a bit of vitality.

"Looks like you value it."

Qianqiu raised his head and glanced at Lark who was gracefully putting the yokan into his mouth, but the other party froze his arms and raised his obsidian-like eyes slightly.

She was taken aback for a moment, then quickly looked away and covered her mouth when she realized something, "I was talking too much..."

—she doesn't remember.

Skylark looked at Qianqiu steadily, swallowed the yokan that melted in his mouth, and replied flatly, "This is from you." As soon as he finished speaking, he was satisfied to see the calm expression on the woman's face. chapped.

"Huh? Yes, is that so..." Qianqiu lowered his head in embarrassment, and glanced quietly at the doll quietly placed on the table.It was obviously something that I personally gave away, but now I have to go back and ask the source, I am really ashamed.She rubbed her forehead, looking at the spotless and clean bird.

Has she ever given Mr. Skylark a gift before?

...can't remember at all.I just thought that this little bird looked very kind, but I didn't expect it to be sent by my own hand.And Mr. Skylark seems... very serious about it.

This looks like an ordinary doll, and any furnishings in this mansion are much more expensive and prettier than this doll.but why? ——Qianqiu, who suddenly had such an idea, lost his mind, looked at Skylark suspiciously, scratched his cheek in puzzlement, and muttered to himself.

Skylark yawned shallowly, covered his mouth with his hands, and raised his beautifully curved eyes, "I just think it looks good." Seemingly seeing through Qian Qiu's random thoughts, this sentence explained Qian Qiu The extra thoughts were suppressed abruptly.

"...That's right. But would such a crude doll be placed here..."

"Since it's mine, I don't allow others to talk about it." Those eyes, like the night sky, were shining with a dark blue ocean, but his calm and watery tone was like a stone falling into Qianqiu's heart, and ripples began to ripple slightly from the center.

Qianqiu saw those beautiful eyes cast a deep glance at himself, and then shifted his gaze to the yokan on the plate.

"As long as Mr. Skylark likes it." I don't know why, after Qian Qiu heard those words, his mood suddenly brightened, and the arc of his mouth couldn't help but bend.The smiling face looks very happy.

At that time, what kind of mood did you have——?She thought that at this moment, she seemed to be able to understand the feeling of giving this gift at that time.

Qianqiu couldn't help but think of what happened in the kitchen before, her cheeks burned like a girl's.She subconsciously stretched out her hand and waved it on her cheek, but when her eyes touched that handsome face, it seemed as if she was stuck with honey.The inexplicable joy in the heart slowly spread with the other person's every frown and movement. I have never felt this way before, but at this moment, it seems to be catalyzed by a few words, and it is gradually fermenting.

"What are you doing?" Skylark glanced at the sudden action of the chestnut-haired woman beside her, and said expressionlessly.

"I'm just very happy." Qianqiu responded with a bright smile without hesitation, her eyes glowing like the warm morning light, "I don't know why, but when I heard Mr. Skylark say those words, I suddenly felt very happy. It's like being affirmed."

Something seemed to flash in the eyes of the phoenix flying obliquely into the temples, and she turned her face slightly.

Skylark calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, then replied unhurriedly, "It's really a boring illusion."

Dining with me like this, and ordinary conversations, have never happened before.Only Cage Island Qianqiu can sit here calmly, not afraid that he will get angry. In the past, the servants left in a hurry after putting down their meals, as if they were extremely afraid of their superiors.

But he doesn't hate it, and even thinks it's good to keep going like this.Whether it's the past, present, or future, Chiaki Cageshima's smile is like a warm light, softening the cold room.

He has had enough of the food made by herbivores for a week, and it seems to be something worth looking forward to to be able to enjoy the dishes of Cage Island Chiaki again.Such a flat conversation is also very satisfying.Such an atmosphere even gave Yunque a warm feeling. An Ran's woman, her hearty meal, and those eyes full of adoring little animals were like light feathers softly tickling her heart, touching her heart every now and then. with.

I have been in the sky for a long time, and this moment of chatting is like a home where I can completely relax.The words that are obviously silly are okay, but they are as cute as a soft and sticky animal.He has enough self-esteem and enough relaxation at the same time.

--cute?

Qian Qiu seems to be used to getting such a bland answer.

It seems to be a very pleasant thing to be able to chat with ordinary people like you and me now.Suddenly, Qianqiu felt that this kind of life seemed to have lasted for a long time, unknown familiarity.Although Mr. Skylark always speaks sarcasticly and doesn't talk much, but that alone is enough to satisfy him.

Don't be afraid, whether it's people or life, or memories that can't be retrieved.

The stability of the status quo is good enough.

"Miss Qianqiu, I have your letter."

There was the sound of Kusakabe outside the door.

Since that incident, Moldo was secretly executed, and a more trustworthy courier was replaced here, and Qianqiu's letter was delivered through Caobi.

"Thank you, Mr. Kusakabe." Qianqiu reached out to take the letter, and smiled happily after seeing the signature on it.

"It's Grandma Sophia!" She cheerfully opened the letter and couldn't wait to read it.

Skylark seemed to have a little impression of this name. Most of the letters in this mansion came from this person named Sophia, and he also had a somewhat vague memory of this old man.But when he raised his head, he found that the joy on Qianqiu's face had dissipated, replaced by a gloomy expression, and the sockets of his eyes seemed to be slightly red.

"how?"

"It's the letter written by the aunt next door...Grandma Sophia is sick..." Qianqiu sniffed quietly, holding back the tears that were about to come out.She grinned helplessly, and gave Yunque a questioning look, "Mr. Skylark, can I... go back to Venice?"

——Are you leaving?

Should it be said that the remnants of the Greet family have not been completely wiped out? ... Or is it still very dangerous outside now, a weak herbivore like you can only die if you go out? ...Or, the rumors have not been resolved and the situation outside is very unstable...?

These seem to have been resolved under the leadership of Pengelie and the Fengji Consortium, and Cao Bi used this as a reason to appease the restless two siblings.

So what reason should be used?

……do not go?

"Cage Island Chiaki, do you understand your situation?"

"……what?"

"I think you have probably forgotten what I said before. This is the world of the mafia. As long as you have a little relationship with this place, you will never escape for the rest of your life."

Qian Qiu's expression darkened as expected, but there was no fear.She clenched the letter in her hand and nodded lightly, "I knew a long time ago that this place is actually not peaceful. I knew it the first time I saw Mr. Skylark..."

——Is this selfish?

"But Grandma Sophia is the only one... the letter of request at this moment must have been sent for this purpose. Even though I know it's dangerous, I'm still going to have a look."

"I can send someone to take care of it."

"No!" Qianqiu suddenly raised his head after hearing Yunque's words, and his lips turned pale, "Grandma Sophia needs me... and the danger outside has almost subsided, right? I miss the place where I grew up... ...want to go back..."

Skylark saw nostalgia and worry in the woman's eyes, emotions he couldn't understand.I never look back at the past, and I never worry about myself. It seems that I have never had such emotions for anyone.

That's right...now there is one.

He glanced at Qian Qiu indifferently, and the other party clenched his fists especially nervously, and the thin letter paper became crumpled, looking very worried.

The little animals miss their hometown and want to go back there——

She can't stay here long.She is not suitable for this world... and cannot tolerate such a thing happening again.

At this moment, this unwavering face was secretly turbulent, not because he didn't see Long Dao Qianqiu's expression of forbearance.With such an expression like an ice pick piercing straight into the heart, it's not that she doesn't know the meaning of the old man named Sophia to her, and it's not that she doesn't know that it is impossible for such an ordinary person to be involved in this world, without consciousness and meaningless.There is no ability to survive.

Most importantly, she will lose her current smile for this.

So……

"Caobi, pack your luggage for Cage Island Qianqiu."
