[Net King] Chasing the Light

In the comfortable and soft princess bed, Satsuki Asama suffered from insomnia.

I closed my eyes and lay quietly for a long time, but still couldn't fall asleep.All kinds of images are always flashing in my mind one by one.Mother's smiling face, mother's loneliness, mother's sick appearance, mother's back view... Also, Aunt Atobe's mother and son's hug tonight, Aunt Atobe's smiling face, and Keigo Atobe's reddish ear pinna with his head raised...

She covered her eyes with her hands for a while, and finally chose to turn on the light and get out of bed, put on her coat, and walked to the balcony.

——Recognizing the problem of the bed, there is really no cure!

As soon as the glass door was opened, a gust of cold wind poured in.She couldn't help shivering, and tightened her coat.

This time my mind became clearer, and I really didn't feel sleepy at all.

Looking around, under the moonlit night, the blue swimming pool is sparkling, the stars are reflected, and the star lake is as beautiful as it is amazing.

She couldn't help but look up at the starry sky.The quiet and dark eyes instantly condensed starlight into them, making them even brighter.

The crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the stars are shining brightly.

Who said that if you miss, just look at the stars, the stars will convey your thoughts...

And who said that with the death of every life, a star will rise in the night sky.This is regression.

She quietly looked at the starry sky, silent.

Now her last longing has also turned into one of the stars, hanging high.She just doesn't know which of these stars is her missing...

Keigo Atobe had just finished taking a bath, and he was sipping a glass of non-alcoholic champagne in his hand, which was his habit before going to bed for many years.

As the king of wines, champagne tastes mellow and sweet, with romantic hues and unparalleled mystery.

This is what Keigo Atobe likes to appreciate very much.

And drinking some champagne before going to bed can help soothe your mood and promote sleep.

He was in a good mood and walked towards the balcony with a glass of champagne.

The balcony of the master bedroom extends a little further than the balconies of other rooms on the same side, so it is also larger.There is a set of leisure tables and chairs for two on the outermost side of the balcony, surrounded by some potted plants, and there is a small closet against the wall on the right side, which contains a few books and financial magazines, etc., for his convenience.

He drank the last bit, put down the glass, took the magazine on the top of the cabinet, followed the pages of last night, and started to read.

It was also his pastime before bedtime.

His evening routine was always regular.

Homework, office work, gym, bath, drink some champagne, read a book, and then sleep.

He didn't put the book back in the closet until he felt a little sleepy, but this time he didn't put it on the top, but on the bottom—this meant reading it all, the next day, cleaning The maid will recycle it and replace it with the latest books and magazines by the way.

He rubbed his brows, and just as he was about to get up, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a soft sound from the balcony next door, revealing a faint yellow light.Presumably it was illuminated by the wall lamp in the bedroom.

He paused, subconsciously looking sideways.

——That girl, didn't she go to bed early?Why is it happening now?

Atobe Keigo frowned slightly.Can't help but think of the conversation between his mother and him when he was in the study earlier——

"Shayue sauce, she has only lived with Liuyi since she was a child. She has never felt the love of her father, and she has no other relatives." The mother sighed, with pity in her eyes, "I also blame Liuyi for being too stubborn. He is such a gentle person, but Unexpectedly, being stubborn is more ruthless than anyone else, and I really did not contact my family for 16 years, and raised my eldest daughter alone."

He frowned, knowing that the Liui that his mother was talking about was the mother of Sayatsuki Asama—Rui Asama, I heard that she was also the daughter of the famous shrine family, the Asama family.What he didn't understand was why his mother would tell him this!

After all, this is the Asama family's business, isn't it?

He looked at his mother questioningly, but saw his mother smiled at him, beckoning him to continue listening, "Although life in a small town is simple and simple, but a woman with a daughter, no man and no relatives, it is inevitable that people will talk about it behind the scenes, and sometimes avoid it." I can't stop the molesting of local hooligans... In order to give birth to Sayue-chan and raise Sayue-chan, Liuyi really suffered a lot. Fortunately, Sayue-chan has been sensible since she was a child. He is not mischievous when he leaves, and at the age of three or four, he can stay at home obediently by himself and take care of the house. When he is six or seven years old, he can even help his mother with housework and cooking until her mother comes home..." At this point, my mother couldn't help but raise her lips With a smile and a glance at him, Keigo Atobe was taken aback and turned his head away.

Well, Sayatsuki Asama is indeed a bit more self-reliant than him!However, he started to learn three languages ​​when he was three or four years old, and he was able to read all kinds of books fluently when he was six or seven years old. Could she? !

Although he retorted in this way in his heart, he had to admit in his heart that in his mother's narration, he had indeed changed his mind about Sazuki Asama.At least, this girl's independence and strength impresses him.

Ah well, it's pretty gorgeous!

"So, living in such an environment since I was a child, I didn't have much to talk to around. That's why Satsuki-chan was a little quiet and cold-tempered... In fact, she just didn't know how to get along with people. And she is very sensitive, and she is very sensitive to other people's thoughts. You can always see through." She paused, looking directly at him, "Mom and Dad can't take her to the UK to take care of, because that will only make her fall into a situation of being alone again. Then, Xiaojing, I am willing to help my mother Will you take care of Satsuki-chan? Didn’t Xiaojing like her sister very much when she was a child? Now, Satsuki-chan is her sister, you will help her and take care of her, right?”

He is silent.When I was young, I liked my sister, not because there was a cute baby next door. Although she loved to cry a little, she was afraid of the dark and thunder, but she was cute and cute... But now, Sayatsuki Asama is so big, she can’t be cute anymore , Moreover, the personality is so cold and not easy to get close to... Heck, how can it be compared!

However, facing his mother's scorching gaze, he still nodded his head and said, "Ah, I will try my best." Anyway, there are housekeepers and a lot of maids and servants at home, so she shouldn't bother her. To myself, isn’t it just that there will be one more person for dinner, anyway, the dining table is big enough; it’s not that there is one more person in the next room, anyway, there are enough rooms; isn’t it that there will be more people going to and from school in the future, anyway, the car is spacious... It’s really not good, give her It's not bad to arrange a car alone!

Thinking about it this way, it seems that one more person living together has no effect on him!Only then did he nod in satisfaction, the corners of his mouth raised.

"Xiaojing really, the self-proclaimed 'Master Ben' is not in line with aesthetics, don't just learn from your father!" Thinking of the arrogant appearance of his son who followed her husband and called himself "Master Ben" in a serious manner when he was young, I don't think it's funny. .This self-proclaimed person has now been promoted to "Master Ben" spontaneously!She glanced at him, and couldn't help but confess, "Shayue-chan is more sensitive, please take care of me, she is a girl after all, and she just lost a loved one, you should be considerate and take care of her... Well, I Let Butler Aida pay attention to you, if your mother finds out that you have a bad attitude towards your sister, hehe...Xiao Jing, just wait for your infancy to explode!"

The smile on his face froze, this threat is really not gorgeous!He suddenly felt that his status in this family had been lowered... an inexplicable sense of crisis!

"Ala, Xiao Jing, don't be jealous," the mother's voice was a little teasing, she stood up and took him into her arms, comforting him as she did when she was a child, "Xiao Jing will always be Mom and Dad's baby!"

His ears couldn't help turning red, and a cross appeared on his forehead.

——It’s so unglamorous!In fact, she just wanted to take the opportunity to tease him!Ah well, he has seen through her tricks!

Later, he didn't know how that conversation ended.In short, he was really relieved when his mother said that he was going to see Satsuki-chan.

——It's hard for my father to bear my mother's character!

Keigo Atobe shook his head helplessly. It is really unbelievable that such a serious and meticulous father, and such a teasing mother, such two people with very different personalities have been in love for 20 years.

He stood up and approached the balcony railing, because it was longer than the balconies of other rooms, so he could see her balcony from this position.

Sure enough, what caught my eye was the girl's long hair blending with the night, and her silent side face when looking up at the starry sky.

——It turned out to be just wearing a thin coat and standing up to blow the air!

Atobe Keigo couldn't help but frowned, could he be so careless on the night of early February?Could this be her independence to take care of herself?

"Ah, you're still up so late?" He slightly raised his voice.

Asama Satsuki was startled by the sudden sound, Qingji's pupils shrank, and she turned her head reflexively to find the source of the sound.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the young man crossed his arms and crossed his chest, looking at her leisurely.

The eyebrows and eyes are luxurious and the temperament is public.

She breathed a sigh of relief, then closed her eyes, seemed to hesitate for a while, and then whispered: "Atobu...brother."

If it wasn't for the quietness at night and his super hearing, Keigo Atobe could hardly hear her last address clearly.Seeing her lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, he felt inexplicably that she was being shy...

My mother said she just didn't know how to get along with people, and now it seems that is indeed the case.She just covered up her shyness with a cold and expressionless face...

——Ah, what a... dishonest girl!

The corners of his mouth were raised in joy, and after responding lightly, seeing that she was still standing on the balcony without any intention of going back to sleep, he raised his eyebrows and said, "If you can't sleep, I suggest you drink some champagne, non-alcoholic... . . . you have it in your parlor closet."

Asama Satsuki was a little surprised.Judging from the boy's attitude towards her tonight, although it is not that he hates and rejects her, it doesn't seem to be very good, at most it is an ordinary courtesy.But what she said just now, she felt that he seemed a little...concerned about her?

——Probably due to poor sleep, hallucinations!

She bit her lip a little, and when she raised her head again, she nodded to the boy on the balcony next door, and smiled, "Okay. Thank you for your suggestion." After a pause, she grabbed her coat tightly, "Then, good night." Turn around and plan to go back to the room.

"Don't laugh if you don't want to laugh." Keigo Atobe frowned, and said in a deep voice to the girl's slender back, "Don't care about that superficial effort." The young lady of the Atobe family doesn't need to force a smile, because others don't have the qualifications .

"..." Sayatsuki Asama paused, then went back to her room without looking back, closed the sliding door of the balcony, and drew the curtains.

It turned out that she was hallucinating.This boy is still so rude!Actually despise her smile, does she have an ugly smile?snort!

She sat in front of the dresser, slightly bent her lips in front of the mirror...

Obviously a very standard arc!

She pulled her lips again, until the corners of her mouth were about to twitch before she lay down on the counter in discouragement.

——A smile without a smile is really ugly...

She got up and walked towards the reception room, and she saw a few bottles of wine in the closet. She felt that they had thoughtfully arranged, but she closed the door without hesitation...

Although it says alcohol-free, she'd better not try it.On the first day at Auntie Atobe's house, if you make a joke, you will be humiliated!

Turning around, he picked out a novel from the bookcase on the other side, and leaned on the bed to read it slowly.

Before I knew it, drowsiness hit me.

——Sure enough, bedtime stories are easier to fall asleep.

She thought lightly, put the book beside the pillow, snuggled into the bed, and closed her eyes.

Soon fell asleep.

But Keigo Atobe, who is separated by a wall, has inexplicable insomnia!

He was lying on the bed, unable to figure out why the back of the girl felt a little angry when she went back to the room and closed the door at the end?

Where did he say something wrong?Or, is he missing his regular sleep time and hallucinating?

——A creature like a woman is so incomprehensible that it is not gorgeous!

baffling!
