Dong Hua pursed her lips tightly, and sat on one side of the dining table with her head lowered. She looked up at the man on the other side uneasily, but accidentally met his gaze, and then buried her head even more like a frightened little animal. Low.

"Afraid?" The man slowly cut a piece of steak, "It's a proper thing to be afraid. The main house is no better than Kanagawa. You have followed the old man since you were a child, and the rules will inevitably be loose. Starting today, I will hire two more etiquette tutors. You Study hard, the only daughter of the Xiyuan Temple family can't be shy like this!"

In the end, his tone inevitably contained anger and disdain.

Dong Hua felt as if the tenderest piece of meat in her heart had been twisted hard, her chest was throbbing with pain, the hurt from her loved ones would always go deep into her soul, she almost shed tears, but Dong Hua clenched her teeth tightly, sternly Enduring the impulse, he let out a breath slowly: "I understand, Father."

"What? Do you have other things?" The man frowned and asked, noticing her fluttering eyelashes and eyes that drifted over from time to time.

"I," she finally plucked up the courage to look her father in the eyes and cleared her throat, "I want to ask my mother if she doesn't eat together?"

The moment the words came out of her mouth, she knew that she had said the wrong thing, because her father's already irritable face suddenly dropped to freezing point after hearing her words. The little girl who lived in the main house in Kyoto for the first time was at a loss and nervous, she moved She moved her lips, but nothing came out.

The man put the knife and fork on both sides of the plate, and there was a subtle ironic smile in his eyes: "Your mother is not feeling well, so, you can go and deliver the meal to the room."

Donghua's immature eyes lit up, and it was obvious that she had long wanted to be close to her mother: "I, can I?"

"Of course, you are her daughter," he said meaningfully. "She is in the dance room on the third floor. Go."

The maids standing with their hands down at the side heard a certain word, and exchanged glances in puzzlement and shock.

.

"Thank you, Dad!" Dong Hua wanted to squint and smile at the man - her grandmother said that her smile was the cutest, but the curve of her lips was half drawn, and she remembered her father's rule of "every lady's happiness and anger are not visible". Rong was stiff for a moment, but still pursed the corners of her mouth with lingering fear.

The man frowned, ignored the little girl's facial expression, and just knocked on the table: "Call."

"I'm sorry," Dong Hua said with a shiver, "Father."

The man didn't leave after eating, and was still sitting at the dining table. Donghua was puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask him, and now there was something more important than "father's abnormality", so she bowed to the man With a bow, he picked up the plate anxiously and excitedly, and went up to the third floor.

Dong Hua stood behind the door panel, her palms were sweating because of nervousness, she moved her icy fingers slightly, and tapped on the door panel lightly, her voice was not much louder than that of a newborn kitten: "Master?"

The slow and long piano music in the dance room stopped, and Donghua could even hear the woman's approaching footsteps.

coming!

The little girl pursed her lips, trying to prepare a smile for her mother.

The door was opened, and before Donghua's smile could be revealed, it involuntarily dissipated—she saw that her mother's sweaty face was just as impatient as her father's...or more so than her father's.

Don't mom and dad like to laugh?Dong Hua blinked helplessly, trying to organize her facial expressions.

"What are you going to do?" She looked down condescendingly.

Dong Hua held up the plate tremblingly: "Master, would you like to eat something?"

"No," she answered bluntly, making one wonder if she had thought about it, "From now on, you are not allowed to approach my dance studio, even standing at such a distance from the door; and - who are you, Is it a maid? Would the eldest lady of the Xiyuanji family do such a thing?"

I am the young lady of the Xiyuanji family, but I am also your daughter...

The little girl lowered the plate nonchalantly. She didn't dare to be wronged like ordinary girls, so she could only bow deeply: "I'm very sorry, my lord, I understand."

When she sent the plate back to the kitchen, her father had already left. Donghua stood blankly for a while, and then suddenly responded after being reminded by the maid beside her, but she didn't want to go back to the room, and walked slowly Go to the back garden.

It was the flowers in April, but the back garden was black and white. Walking in the winter flowers, I didn't find anything wrong.

Walking around a corner, she squatted down with her arms folded. Is the wind in Kyoto so much colder than Kanagawa?Dong Hua blinked, but her eyes were red hot from the cold.

The icy cold wind blows non-stop, as if to take away all her body temperature, Donghua hugs herself, almost thinking that she has become an ice sculpture.

After an unknown amount of time, a shadow suddenly fell in front of her, and the strong wind was also blocked. Dong Hua warmed up, and she raised her head in a daze, but she couldn't see anything clearly, only a soft glowing figure and A cloud of indistinct red.

Donghua instinctively wanted to stand up with her knees supported, but she didn't want to have been frozen for a long time, her hands and feet were numb and exhausted, and she was about to fall if she tilted her body.

Before she could exclaim, she was firmly held in the arms of the person in front of her.

——so warm...

Dong Hua blinked blankly, then flinched in his arms unconsciously, and the man also cooperated to hold her tighter.

The scent of grass and trees is accompanied by a reassuring hot temperature, like a hot spring after a long journey in the ice and snow, which makes people squint their eyes and feel comfortable.

She was like a kitten who was kicked around every day, suddenly being hugged and pitied by someone, she kept rolling like a double grievance, Donghua's tears finally fell, and she rubbed on the man's shoulder : "I, I'm so cold..."

"Cold?" Akashi heard the faint voice, and immediately looked at the girl in his arms.

After Donghua saw him, she stared at him with tears in her eyes for a while, and then, as if all her strength was exhausted, and as if she saw someone she could rely on in her subconscious mind, she instantly lost consciousness and passed out on the ground again.

She is still in a coma, it should be just a dream, Akashi looked at her tightly frowning brows, slowly stretched out his hand, and stroked her cheeks and eyebrows with warm palms, after a few strokes, her brows really relaxed , and turned to shrink even more heavily in his arms.

Akashi pulled off his coat in a posture that would not disturb her, and wrapped it tightly around her body, brushing against her cold skin unavoidably, his gaze sank, then stood up with a cold expression, and hugged the girl Walked out of the small storage room.

Dong Hua lay obediently in his arms, her slender fingertips that were usually pinkish were now pale, they rested softly on his shoulders, her cheek was pressed against his chest, the young man's steady heartbeat came through, It was like a song that reassured her extremely.

"Ah——! Dong Huahua! Is she injured?!" Yuanzi ran over with red eyes, looked at the girl's snow-white cheeks that had no trace of blood, eager to touch her, but didn't dare, and was at a loss for a while.

Akashi frowned, and hugged the girl in his arms even tighter: "No, there is no scar on her body; Suzuki-san, she is very mentally ill, please keep her voice down."

With Donghua in front, Sonoko didn't dare to speak loudly anymore, and in a hurry, he didn't even care about the faint disapproval in Akashi's tone, just nodded frequently: "Okay, okay, then please take her back."

·

Dong Hua slowly opened her eyes. She cried a lot before, but now her eyelids are sore and red hot. The scene in front of her eyes is the ceiling of the hotel, surrounded by soft bedding. His voice was startled: "Trouble... Cough! Pour me a glass of water, please."

Yuanzi, who had been guarding the bed, immediately stood up: "You're awake!! I'll pour it for you..."

The red-haired boy sitting on the other side of the bed moved much faster than her. He poured a glass of warm water neatly, and then gently supported Dong Hua's shoulders, letting her sit up halfway with his arm, while pouring the water Feed it to her lips.

A set of movements was coherent and swift, Yuanzi was dumbfounded.

Donghua's eyes were sore at first, but she just rested with her eyelids half closed, she took a small sip of half a cup with his hand and didn't notice any abnormality, until she raised her eyes slightly: "Thank you little... Akashi-kun?!"

Under her surprised gaze, Akashi sat down very naturally: "Well, how do you feel now?"

The dark, sticky and suffocating feeling seemed to still pierce the bones, Donghua flinched unconsciously, and then slowly shook her head: "It's nothing—is it Akashi-kun who saved me?"

The red-haired boy didn't answer immediately, but stared at her for a while, then nodded after a while: "It's a little effort."

Conan, who had just come back from the police, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he entered the door—it was so easy to say, looking for someone with a sullen face at that time was going to scare people to death, young master.

She was not in good spirits yet, and after talking for a while, she became tired again. Akashi was keenly aware of it when she blinked frequently for the first time. He stood up and patted her shoulder lightly: "Tired? Okay?" have a rest."

As soon as the tiredness came up, a pillow was handed over to her. Donghua covered her mouth and yawned a little: "Okay."

She looked at Yuanzi: "I fell asleep?"

Yuanzi's complexion was very subtle, she gritted her teeth and nodded: "Go to sleep."

Then she took a hard look at Akashi, and her voice was low enough that she couldn't suppress the anger of "the Chinese cabbage will be taken away": "Akashi-kun? Please come out, I have something to tell you."

Akashi was noncommittal, and followed her out of the room.

"Akashi-kun, do you really want to pursue her?" Sonoko said straight to the point, too lazy to make excuses.

"Of course," he raised his eyebrows, "isn't it obvious enough?"

"On the premise of getting married?" Yuanzi changed her focus, she looked out the window, her tone was a bit sad, "Dong Huahua won't let her go if she believes in it, if you have the idea of ​​'playing around in school', I advise you not to provoke her! She...she can't bear to be abandoned like this. "

The last sentence almost vanished into thin air.

"I don't intend to be that rude either." Akashi met her dazed eyes.

The author has something to say:

The days when I first arrived in Kyoto from Kanagawa was the most helpless period for Huazai. Subconsciously, I could let Akashi appear. In fact, I already relied on him... Although I haven’t found it yet =w=
