[Fruit Basket] Her Royal Highness the Rabbit Princess

Looking at Xiao Tou who was at the door from time to time gently comforting Qi Sha who was already crying in her arms, and from time to time nervously coping with the inquiries about her and Jia's recent situation from everyone who came up to her, Hong Ye subconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.Really... it's Xiaotou, and Xiaotou hasn't changed at all, which is really great...

"Hongye-kun, don't you...do you need to go up and say hello too?"

Hearing Suzuha's question, Hongye came back to her senses, stood up and held out her hand with a smile, "Let's go together."

"Oh? Okay." After being stunned for a moment, Suzuha blushed and put her hand on it, and followed him to Xiaotou who was surrounded by people.

As soon as he saw Hongye, Xiao Tou, who was still trying to understand Ayame's leaping speech, immediately showed him a gentle smile that he was familiar with, "It's Hongye-kun, long time no see, how are you doing?"

"Well, I'm fine." Although I really imagined holding her hand or throwing herself on her body to act like a spoiled child, but because I know that no matter what my age or identity is, I am no longer the same as before, so Hongye just used excitement He said in a showy tone, "Xiao Tou, Xiao Tou, let me tell you, this is Suzuha, she is my fiancée!"

"Oh, really? It's really great!" Xiao Tou also became excited at this time, and held hands with him, jumping a few times on the spot.After the dance, she remembered Suzuha beside her, and subconsciously looked in her direction. When she saw Suzuyu's face, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then restored her original smile and bowed to her. Bowing, "Hi, I'm Toru Honda, it's the first time we meet, please give me your advice."

Because she had known from Hongye and other people's words that the two looked similar, Suzuha appeared very calm, and she also smiled and bowed to her, "Hi, I'm Himekawa Suzuha, after I also ask you to teach me a lot.”

After saying hello, Suzuha took a step back, allowing Hongye and Xiaotou to continue chatting.

When the banquet started, and the servants of the Kuomo family began to bring in the dinner, the people who had gathered at the door and chatted all returned to their seats, but they were still talking to the people next to them, or talking to the people across the air. people chatting.

Because the people of the Chinese zodiac have not met like this for a long time, most of the time for this meal is spent chatting, and by the end of the meal, it has been two hours later.

When the servants came in again to take away the food and put on refreshments, Momiji, who was taking a short break, remembered that Suzuha was an outsider, and there were many memories of everyone's chat that she didn't know and could not intervene. They all eat quietly while listening to everyone talking, unless someone asks her something out of curiosity, she will put down the bowl and chopsticks, and answer the other party's question with a smile and politely.And the most important thing is that the only one she knew was just talking and forgot to greet her.

Although she is alone, if Suzuha stays at home, it will be better than staying here now... Thinking of this, Hongye couldn't help but apologized and said: "I'm sorry, Suzuha must have been bored just now, right? Do you want us?" Let's leave later, let's watch the New Year at your house together, and bring Duoduo and Lei Lei with you?"

"No, I'm not bored," Suzuha smiled and shook her head, "Although I can't chat with everyone, I learned more about Hongye-kun from everyone's conversations, and I also saw Hongye-kun acting like a baby." It looks like a worthwhile trip.”

Her words made Hongye feel a little bit moved besides feeling his heart beat faster. He reached out to cover her hand, but before he touched it, he heard a deep female voice saying: "Ji Chuan Ma’am, can I invite you over here?”

Hearing what Keito said, Hongye quickly withdrew her hand, and watched Suzuha stand up like this, and walked to the seat of Keito. After all, what Keito said just now was "Miss of the Himekawa family" instead of "Himekawa-san" or " Suzuba-san", so no matter what, it's not easy for him to go up with him.

Kneeling and sitting in front of Ryoto, Suzuha saluted her the most, "Miss Soma, please forgive me for not saying hello to you when I came in just now."

"It's okay, it's just a family banquet, so there's no need for so many etiquettes." After she sat up straight again, Yuren said with a smile, "Yesterday, I only heard Hongye say that I would bring my fiancée over to let everyone get to know each other, but I didn't expect her to be Ji The proudest daughter of President Chuan. I heard that the lady of the Himekawa family is a talented woman. She finished her studies at the Austrian Conservatory of Music before she was 20 years old. She wanted to meet you when she was still famous in Europe. I didn’t expect to see you now. It was a surprise to meet Himekawa-san on this occasion."

Ignoring the exclamation from the side and the teasing words to Hongye, Suzuha nodded slightly, "Where, my little talent is not worth mentioning compared to Ms. Soma. I used to hear my father and brothers say, Since she was a child, Ms. Somo has been responsible for drafting the head of the Somo family and supervising the operation of various properties of the Somo family. Ms. Somo's outstanding ability and responsibility made my father and the three of us feel ashamed. Miss Mo doesn't see outsiders, otherwise she would have come to see you earlier and ask you for advice."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this on the rare New Year's Eve." Seeing the two talking in such an official way, and it is estimated that the two people will not be able to ask the gossip that everyone wants to know the most, so Zi Wu hurriedly opened his mouth to seize the right to speak "By the way, I heard that Miss Himekawa and Momiji met on a blind date?"

"Purple Wu!"

Hearing what he said, Hongye, who was still in place, quickly stopped him. After all, he knew that Suzuha was easily embarrassed, but Suzuha was beyond his expectation, and replied in a very calm tone: "Yes, It’s embarrassing to say it, because I rarely had any male friends since I was a child, so right after returning to China, my father started to arrange blind dates for me, and we got to know Hongye-kun.”

Finding that she was willing to answer, and answered in detail, Zi Wu continued to ask, "Then... when did Miss Himekawa and Hongye fall in love with each other?"

"Oh? I don't know what Momiji-kun thinks," said Suzuha, her face flushed slightly, and she turned her head slightly to look at Momiji, "But... I should have been from the first time I saw Momiji Jun Shi fell in love with him..."

"yeah?!"

Hearing what she said, everyone was surprised, even Hongye, the person concerned, and blushed, making other people, especially the duo of Ziwu and Lingnv who feared that the world would not be chaotic, all surrounded Hongye. to ask him how he feels.

Seeing that everyone was not as reserved as before, but chatting happily and harmoniously, the person who was a little worried that everyone would reject this gathering was relieved, and continued to have the so-called bureaucratic dialogue with Suzuha.

After being asked all the questions about their relationship and promising everyone that they would definitely be invited to the wedding at that time, everyone let Hongye go and returned to their seats to continue having refreshments.

Just when Hongye breathed a sigh of relief, the only one who was still beside him, Le Luo, suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Hongye, you... really like that Himekawa-san, right?"

Her question made Hongye frowned in confusion, "Well, what's wrong?"

"You don't like her because she looks like Xiaotou, right?" Seeing that the smile on his face disappeared, Le Luo quickly added, "I don't mean anything else, it's just because you said You guys are getting married soon, so I just wanted to make it clear!"

Knowing that she also asked this question out of good intentions, so after sighing, Hongye looked at Suzuha who was covering her mouth and chuckling, and said softly: "Although it was because of her resemblance to Xiaotou at first. , I have the idea of ​​continuing to associate with Suzuha, but later in the process of getting along with Suzuha, I gradually discovered the difference between the two of them, and I really fell in love with Suzuha, so... Le Luo you Don't worry about me, although it's a few years late, but I will be happy like everyone else."

"That's good, since that's the case, I wish you happiness."

Seeing the way he looked at Ling Yu, Le Luo was sure that his feelings for Suzu Yu were true, so he didn't ask any more questions, instead he got up and went to chat with Yi Ling next to her.

Since Suzuha was still talking to the people at this time, Momiji, who couldn't disturb them, could only sigh while walking to the corner of Xiaotou where the most people were, joining their conversation to pass the time.

After ten o'clock, the most powerful person in the Kusama family finally announced the end of the banquet, and everyone began to pack up and prepare to go home. Momiji also walked to Suzuha's side, and stretched out her hand to hold the girl who had been kneeling for a long time. Ling Yu got up and said, "Do you want me to take you home directly? Or, do you want to play with Duoduo and Lei Lei at my place?"

"Sorry, I have to go home now." Suzuha smiled wryly and took out the phone and shook it at him, "When I was chatting with Ms. Yuren just now, I received a text message from my brothers, and they said they would make up later in the morning. Got to the plane, and now I’m back in Japan, so let me hurry home and watch the New Year with them.”

The only thing that can be filled later is the economy class seat. In order to accompany Suzuha for the new year, or to reduce the time spent with Suzuha and me, did the pampered young masters of the Himekawa family deliberately squeeze the economy class...

Hongye didn't know whether to admire their sacrifice or to grit his teeth, so after digesting the news, he could only sigh deeply, "Then I'll take you back and wish Mr. Zhi and Mr. Wu a new year. "

"That..." Suzuha continued with some hesitation: "My brothers said that they have sent a car to pick me up, and they also said that New Year's Eve can only be spent with the family, so don't bother Hongye-kun. Today Hongye-kun should I'm tired too, let's go to bed early, and we can talk about New Year's greetings tomorrow."

After being silent for a while, Hongye suddenly smiled, "Since this is the case, then next year the two of us should be able to celebrate the New Year alone, right?"

"Huh?" Looking at him who was smiling for a long time in puzzlement, Suzuha realized what he meant, and lowered her head blushing.

Knowing that she understood the meaning, Hongye nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to the door and wait for the bus."

Ling Yu nodded slightly, and then followed him to the direction of the gate, but because she knelt for too long just now, she staggered a few steps because of her weak feet.

When she was about to fall to the ground, Hongye hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her, but for some unknown reason, she suddenly pushed his hand away and fell to the ground just like that.

"Suzuha, are you okay? Are you injured?"

Just when Hongye was about to help Suzuha get up, she moved back to avoid his hand, stood up by herself while leaning on the wall, and then smiled at him, "I'm fine, I'm sorry to let Hongye-kun You are worried."

Looking at the very reluctant smile on her face, Hongye couldn't help frowning. He could barely regard her dodging when she fell just now as being accidentally pushed by her, but for her obvious just now He avoided the action, but he couldn't give an explanation that could convince him, except for one, that was that she didn't want him to touch her.

After a long silence, Hongye said to her nervous face, "That's good, let's go."
