[Net King] You are also called thick-skinned?

After meeting Atobe that night, Xi Miu had an extra task every night before going to bed—to make some small pastries that could satisfy her hunger and put them on the dining table in the living room.She also painstakingly found an all-round viewing angle to ensure that someone walking into the living room can see the food on the table at a glance.What she thinks is that whether Atobu eats or not, it will not prevent her from conveying this heart.Moreover, before Atobu gave her a clear answer for a day, it would be more impressive for her to do more things.

As she expected, another week passed, and the pastry she made had not been touched once.Although a little discouraged, Xi Miao also knows that this kind of thing cannot be forced, not to mention that the other party is the arrogant Keigo Atobe, she can only take a protracted war.Matsumoto Yumi was very appreciative of the food she made. Every day, she snatched the pastries she brought back to school as snacks so as not to waste them, and said with a happy face that this was the best snack she had ever eaten.Not to mention, the wonderful craftsmanship was passed down by her mother, and she cooks Hangzhou dishes superbly.

A week passed like this, and one day, when Xi Miao had dinner and was watching TV with Xi Ling in the living room, Atobe came in from the outside.She stood up in amazement, thinking she had read it wrong, looked at the wall clock on the wall, then at the man walking in by himself, and asked in surprise, "It's so early today?"

Atobe glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, didn't speak, and went upstairs steadily.The butler Oki who followed him in couldn't bear it, and explained to Ximiao with a smile, "A few days ago, the Japanese subsidiary had some problems. Now that the problem has been solved, the young master naturally doesn't have to work overtime."

The big wooden butler is a very kind and gentle old man. Although he is not as eager to welcome the future young lady as other servants, he has always been polite to her.Xi Miao has always liked this old man, he reminded her of her own grandfather, so whenever she talked to this old man, she would unconsciously soften her voice.At this time, when she heard the explanation from the big wooden housekeeper, she understood, and couldn't help but looked at the cuddle thoughtfully. It wasn't until Xiling called her a few times wronged that she came back to her senses and sat back to watch TV with her sister. .

After that day, Atobe returned home obviously earlier than before. Although it was still irregular, it would not be late until the early morning.This time Ximiao knows the reason. The girls in the class have been saying recently that the Japanese high school men’s tennis competition is about to start. This year is the last year for Atobe and the others to lead the Hyotei Tennis Club. The seriousness can be said to be against the sky. , A girl whose boyfriend is a member of the tennis club even broke the news, not to mention the first-choice players, even the young men in the tennis club couldn't bear it, and they all cried and cried in front of the huge and cruel training volume.

After Ximiao learned about this, she thought for a while, but still did not interrupt the supper every night, but replaced the small pastry with steaming food, and made it every day by estimating the time when Atobe came back, and then sat on the sofa in the living room Watching TV while waiting for him to come back.Atobe is just indifferent to her behavior like this, facing her smiling "You are back" every day, just glance at her lightly, say "um" insignificantly, and go upstairs , Play big cards and play smoothly.After many times, Xi Miao also learned to shrug his shoulders in a self-explanatory way. After watching him go upstairs, he walked briskly to the dining table and ate the supper he made. Enjoy together.In the end, Xi Mi decided to decide the supper menu according to her own preferences. Anyway, Keigo Atobe seemed to follow a procedure, and the food still had to go into her stomach in the end.

Whenever she enjoys delicious food, Xi Miao can't help but be thankful that she has a figure that can never eat fat, and maybe also thank her for the continuous targeting of her since she joined the support club, which allowed her to gain Minister Sato who got plenty of exercise.

Their minister, Sato Mina, looked at her as a thorn in the flesh, and tried her best to make things difficult for her.Xi Miao was puzzled at first, but after Matsumoto Yumi's popular gossip, she finally realized it. However, the sudden realization was followed by depression.She was actually put on the candidate list for the Ice Emperor's school beauty. The most powerful competitor is Mina Sato?It is true that Xi Miao knew that she looked good since she was a child, but in the Hangzhou area where there are many beautiful women, her appearance is really not top-notch, and she would become a rare animal here.

However, no matter what, for Xi Miu's always gentle and calm personality, as long as Sato Mina does not touch her bottom line, then everything is still negotiable. Anyway, if you do more exercise every day, you will benefit from it.With this healthy attitude, Xi Miao continued to live her small life heartlessly.Until one day, when she was waiting for Atobu in the living room as usual, until her eyelids were filled with lead, she still didn't see the figure that she had gradually become familiar with these days.

At this time, she was the only one in the empty living room. Xi Ling had been driven back to sleep by her long ago. Xi Miao hugged the pillow and sank cross-legged into the soft sofa. She cheered up and looked at the wall clock on the wall. It was all 11: I'm 30, and I haven't come back yet. Do I have to stay in the company to deal with something today?She yawned a little, and just as she was dazedly thinking about whether she should continue to wait, or simply go back to her room to sleep, she heard a sound of steady footsteps, and a figure she had been waiting for finally slowly appeared At the door, Xi Miao couldn't help but roll her eyes, stood up and said with a little surprise: "You're finally back."

Atobu paused slightly when he entered the door, looking at the beautiful girl with a tired face but still a light smile, her brows were slightly frowned, and a certain emotion flashed in her eyes.However, this gaffe was only for a moment. In the next second, he walked in with his hands in his pockets, and asked without any emotion: "Why are you still here?"

"Uh," Xi Miao said embarrassedly that if he appeared half a minute later, she might have gone back to her room. After thinking about it, she said, "I didn't expect that you would come back so late today." This is the truth, if If she had known, she wouldn't have been foolishly waiting in the living room.One must know that what she did was just going through the motions with a mentality of repaying gratitude + increasing impression points, and never thought that she would really spend so much heart and soul to welcome him back every day.If you really do this, let alone Atobe, even she feels awkward, even if it's a wife's duty, it's nothing more than that. When the time comes to say that she doesn't care about Atobe, who will believe it?

Atobe glanced at her, still with a neutral tone, "I remember, I never asked you to wait for me to come back."

By saying this, she also included her previous actions.Xi Miao smiled disapprovingly, "You never asked for it, but it's up to me to decide whether to wait for you to come back." The implication is that this has nothing to do with you. would say such unreasonable words.

However, she didn't say it, it doesn't mean Atobe doesn't know.He looked at the girl with a faint smile on his face, and suddenly smiled inexplicably, turned around, and went straight to the dining table, "The company has a meeting today, so I didn't have time to eat dinner."

Xi Miao was taken aback, and immediately understood what he meant, and trotted over, "Wait, the porridge is cold, let me warm it up for you." After finishing speaking, she quickly returned the already cold porridge to the pot, He took it out again, put it in front of the trace department, and sat down opposite him by the way, and said with a smile: "Meicai and lean pork porridge, this preserved vegetable is brought from my hometown. "Second Office," said, pointing to the plate of dim sum on the table, "This is green tea cake, it's very filling." After the introduction, he stopped talking, took a cup of hot milk by himself, and sipped drinking.

Atobe didn't talk to her either, he seemed to be really hungry, he picked up the spoon and started to eat slowly, his movements were graceful, his expression was calm, and his face was calm, Xi Miao blinked, it was the first time he knew that it turned out that Men can also have such artistic beauty when eating.The two sat face to face without speaking. The empty living room was silent, but it was strangely not embarrassing.After Xi Miao drank all the milk in her hand, she finally couldn't help but said, "Mr. Atobe, the day after tomorrow, you will have a preliminary round, right?"

Atobe looked up at her, and gave a low "hmm".

The other party's indifference didn't dampen Xi Miao's enthusiasm for speaking. To be honest, she was used to it, so she frowned and said with a cheerful smile, "I'll go cheer you on."

Atobe was slightly taken aback, looking at her.The girl's fair and small face had an indescribably gentle feeling under the light, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and there were two small dimples looming on her cheeks, and Atobe's heart suddenly skipped a beat.He unconsciously took the water glass next to him and took a sip.

Xi Miao ignored his silence and continued, "Although, I know that many people have cheered for you, but I still want to do my part. I sincerely hope that you can win. No, I believe you I will definitely win." After training so hard every day, how could it be possible not to win.Xi Mi couldn't help thinking of the scene when she went to watch their training in the past few days. It was the first time that she sincerely admired this young man with improved figure.

How many responsibilities and expectations did he shoulder on his shoulders?

If he agreed to help her, then she would also become his responsibility.Xi Miao suddenly felt a little unbearable, but she could only ignore this unbearable, all she could do was try not to cause trouble for him.

At this moment, Atobe finally stopped being silent. He cast a faint glance at Miracle, who was a little dazed, and raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You don't need to talk about this kind of thing?" After finishing speaking, he stood up , said "It tastes good" and left.

Xi Miao looked at his walking figure in a daze, and it took a long time to react, and she couldn't help smiling.

It's really rare that he talked so much to her today.Perhaps, they can spend these three years in peace, like two strangers living under the same roof, and when the time comes, they will take their own trains and leave, away from this short intersecting time.

Even if Atobe never gave her a clear answer, Ximi felt that he would not let her go.

As Aunt You said, this child has always been cold on the outside and warm on the inside.

On the evening of the second day when Xi Miao confirmed that the future is full of hope, fate played a trick on her again.When she walked downstairs on time as usual and was about to have dinner, before she reached the corner of the stairs, she heard a sob of grievance.This familiar voice made her heart tremble, and she panicked immediately, and went downstairs in three steps at a time.The scene in front of her made her stunned for a moment, and she saw Xiling standing by the sofa, lowering her head and wiping her tears aggrievedly. For some reason, Atobe, who came back very early today, was standing in front of her, with cold eyes and a look of disgust. look at her.

Xi Miao suddenly felt her mind go blank, walked up quickly to embrace Xi Ling, and asked softly, "Xi Ling, what's wrong?"

The little girl hugged her tightly, whimpering softly in her arms, like a wounded kitten, crying so hard that Xi Miao's heart was broken, "Sister, I'm afraid..."

Xi Miao's first reaction was, what did Atobe do to her?

After her parents were gone, Xi Ling was her lifeblood. Normally, she would be worried when Xi Ling flattened her mouth, let alone crying so heartbreakingly now?She looked at Atobe, who was frowning expressionlessly, and said in a tense voice: "Atobe-kun, it doesn't matter how you hate me, but Xiling is just a child. You bully A child, won't he have a disturbed conscience?" After speaking, she couldn't help trembling her voice.

Atobe didn't seem to expect that she would accuse him so much, and he frowned even tighter, "Ximiao Kazama, in your heart, is this the kind of person I am?"

Facing his gloomy eyes, Xi Miao's heart trembled for no reason, she closed her eyes slightly, and said nothing.

Time seemed to stand still at this second, and the servants stood far away, not daring to come over to get involved, so for a while, only Xi Ling's occasional uncontrollable sobs could be heard in this space.Suddenly, Atobe let out a low laugh, and there was a hint of mockery in the deep laughter.Xi Miao looked at him in surprise, only to see him lift his chin slightly, and said expressionlessly: "I am really crazy, to think that I can get along with a woman like you calmly."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and strode away without nostalgia.Xi Miao watched him go further and further away, unable to tell where the emptiness in her heart came from.

Perhaps, something that she had worked so hard for so many days was completely shattered at this moment.
