[Comprehensive] The eldest lady of the famous family

Akashi arrived at the Atobe house, and Keigo Atobe had just finished the video communication with Mao at this time, and there was an urgent matter outside that required Atobe to be there, he was worried about Mao, and he called the video to confirm that Mao's spirit was better before letting go heart, and expressed the fact that he could not go back immediately.

Mao didn't want to drag Abu's back, of course, he persuaded his brother to do his own thing with peace of mind, she was not in good health and let it be enough, but he absolutely didn't want to affect the people around him and delay the business.

Akashi came under such circumstances.

The maid came upstairs to ask for instructions, waiting for Mao's instructions.

"So fast..." Mao counted the time in a trance, knowing that Zheng Jun must have rushed over without stopping, and said, "Please come up."

She was still in the video call just now, but she didn't look particularly decadent and lazy at the moment, and she was quite energetic.

Akashi, led by the butler, came up and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Mao sat on the bed and looked towards the door with his head tilted. When he saw Akashi for the first time, he bent his eyes and cheered up and said, "Masaki-kun, you are here."

The sound is still weak, but it's much better.

The calm expression on Akashi's face was almost unable to be maintained. On the way, he called Mao, but he didn't get through. He guessed that the other party had something to do, but he was inevitably afraid that she would feel even more uncomfortable.

Seeing that Mao is still alive, Akashi has to admit that he feels lucky.

The servant came over with tea and water, helped to place the stool by the bed, and quietly retreated.

Akashi sat down and finally looked at Mao calmly and calmly: "Do you feel better? Has the fever gone?"

"Retired." Mao said in a low voice, with a nasal tone, "It's much better."

Hearing that her voice was no longer as clear as before, Akashi poured a glass of water from the tray, tested the temperature with his fingertips, and it was just right, so he handed it to Mao: "Drink some water."

Mao happened to be a little thirsty, so he drank half of the cup when he took it, and when he was almost drunk, without her talking, Akashi took the cup back wordlessly, and put it on the low cabinet beside him.

Magic.

How did Zhengjun feel?

Mao blinked, looking at him in surprise.

Akashi looked at her with some kind of hidden worry in his eyes, but he didn't show it, it was hidden very deep, he just said: "Cultivate with peace of mind, don't hurt your throat."

Mao said "Oh", hesitated for a while, and then said: "Didn't Zheng Jun want to talk to me?"

"I didn't intend to disturb your rest." Akashi paused, "I just wanted to confirm your current situation with my own eyes."

"Nothing."

It's because he cares about her.

She could still see it.

Akashi really didn't want Mao to talk too much. Mao originally thought he wanted to chat with the two of them as usual, but Akashi didn't start the topic for a long time, it was more like helping her to take care of her. The family doctor came once in the middle , Akashi's personal behavior made several servants present tremble with sincerity, for fear of poor hospitality, what's more, their eyeballs would fall out.

——Is the young master of the Akashi family taking care of the young lady himself? ?

If that's what he meant, it's no wonder he came here on purpose...

Mao took the medicine and felt a little drowsy. Akashi saw that she was not in good spirits, and asked to leave in due course.

"I won't send you off..." Mao slid down into the quilt, his voice became muffled, "I'll watch your game when I'm well...Come on..."

Akashi stood still by the bed, his body motionless.

For about two seconds, he stretched out his hand slowly, blocking the light above him with his arm, and he could feel the change of light and shadow even with his eyes closed.

Mao opened his eyes and looked at him. There were thin calluses on the inside of Akashi's fingers, but overall they were very elegant, the joints were clearly visible, slender and fair-skinned.

"?"

The hand finally landed on Mao's forehead, so lightly that there was almost no strength, and Mao felt a strand of hair being pulled away.

Akashi bent down slightly, his ruby-like pupils seemed to be soaked in the stream at this moment, with a sense of sparkling reflection: "Take a good rest and get well soon."

There was a sigh in his voice that Mao couldn't understand: "...Mao."

……

Mao asked for leave the next day as a matter of course, and he hasn't fully recovered yet, and the drowsiness caused by the medicine is getting worse.

Atobe repeated the nagging process of mother-in-law and mother again before going out in the morning, and all the servants listened carefully with the rigorous attitude of "rarely seen in a thousand years".

At noon, Atobe's phone call and Akashi's call came back almost one after another. As soon as Atobe hung up, Akashi's caller ID popped up on the screen of Mao's phone before he could put it down, as if he had hit it right.

"Zhengjun?"

Mao picked it up and called out first.

Her voice is no longer so hoarse, and it has a sweetness like biting cotton candy.

It seems to be much better.

Akashi asked, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"Not yet." Mao's voice was soft and light, like a night breeze, "I got up a little late today, so I didn't reply to your message in time... I'm sorry."

It was Akashi who inquired about her physical condition, and the wording in a well-regulated manner should have taken into account that she may not have woken up yet, so she did not use the method of communication.

"It's fine."

"This medicine is so annoying..." Mao muttered, and yawned shallowly, as if scratching an itch, he stroked the beating heart in Akashi's chest, "It's easy to get sleepy after taking it..."

"Are you going to rest?"

Mao lazily replied: "...want to sleep."

Akashi called her softly: "Go to sleep after lunch, Mao?"

The other end responded vaguely, and after a while, no substantive words came. Akashi was a little stunned and carefully recognized the gradually steady and even breathing sound. He didn't move for a long time, and naturally he didn't hang up. communication.

She fell asleep.

Akashi stood still for a moment, then murmured very softly, almost inaudiblely: "Good dream."

He hung up the communication and called Atobe's phone instead. First, he gave some polite "diplomatic rhetoric", and then cut to the chase, explaining the food and other precautions before completely ending the "lunch break." important events".

The housekeeper who answered the phone was a little ashamed: just based on the posture of my young master and the young master of the Atobe family... Fortunately, the lady just has a cold.

Naturally, the loyal housekeeper told Master Atobe who came back from school about this matter in detail, including the notice that Akashi came to visit yesterday, which was timely enough.

Of course Mao didn’t know that the order of the Atobu at that time was “As soon as Akashi has a problem, you rush in directly.” Although I admire the young master’s eagerness to protect the younger sister, the order to “rush in directly” is really too... They are not Specially trained agents!And the opponent is also that Akashi anyway!

Fortunately, the young master of Akashi's family was well-measured, and he grasped the time of stay and the scale of behavior very well, and won the praise of many servants invisibly.

So when the butler told the story of "Master Akashi's family called to explain what today", although the wording was still unbiased, but in the tone, it could be felt that it was extremely subtle, trying to help explain Akashi's behavior tendency.

"Akashi is really powerful." Atobe glanced at the butler coldly, seeing that MAX had reached its ultimate effect at this time, and this glance instantly spanned decades of survival time gap, as if the real importance made the butler follow his heart Rin, Atobe was in a bad mood, and his face was more inclined to be expressionless, "It took you two days to tidy up all of you."

"Master, you are joking." An invisible bead of sweat slid down the butler's forehead, and he calmly sought an explanation, "I just told the truth about Master Akashi's actions, and I didn't have any other thoughts."

Atobe didn't bother to speak.

Lengheng didn't even want to give it.

Akashi is such a fox.

Let Atobe say why he is so sure that Akashi has some kind of feelings for Mao and not other emotions that are enough to make them more tit-for-tat. One is that Akashi Seijuro, the heir of the Akashi family, has no need to do this. What they have is enough, flattering others—same as Atobe—it is impossible for them to do it in this life, at most it is to maintain a friendly social circle; the second is that Akashi really spent a lot of very intuitive Time is on Maou. For them, people who are really unimportant will not waste time. After all, what they don’t like about elite-trained children who can’t wait to split it into 24 copies a day is that they can’t even spend 1 minute. Will not separate, because there are more important things waiting for them.

This is really possible, now that half of the mother's request has been met, that guy Akashi has fallen during the running-in period, and it is estimated that he has no intention of rejecting this marriage.

After all, it's Mao, so there's no way anyone wouldn't like it.

Atobe conceived with such a cold face.

In fact, what he wants to say is: It's useless, as long as Mao doesn't like it, the invisible "stick" in his hand can hit the mandarin duck pond directly at any time, driving the fox Akashi far away.

When Atobe was so slanderous, the fox Akashi Seijuro he was guarding against was communicating with Mao for the second time today.

Apart from text messages, the number of communications today has also increased. It is obvious that Akashi is worried because of Mao's illness.

Mao felt this, felt a very strange emotion, she had never experienced it before, so it was also novel.

Suddenly, I thought of Akashi's words before: "Mao, it's good that you remind me. '

She originally thought it was Akashi's request to remind him of his behavior when getting along, but now it seems that it means more than that.

She probably didn't say such things in front of other people, she reminded her or something...

Akashi's narration on the other end of the phone stopped abruptly, and Mao responded in time: "What's wrong?"

"Sorry." Akashi paused for a moment and said, "Not many interesting things today."

Restless, there seems to be no problem on the surface, only Akashi himself knows how depressed he has been all day, maybe others will still think that he is concentrating on it, but he himself knows that it is actually a dual-purpose.

"I think everything is very interesting." Mao thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Masaki-kun, are you not very happy today?"

"It's not that I'm unhappy... maybe that's what I should ask." Akashi's voice was clear, and he tried his best to be gentle at the moment, as if he was afraid of disturbing anything.

"Mao, are you in a bad mood?"

He felt it.

Just as Mao was amazed at Akashi's keen insight yesterday, now even if he is not face to face, he can ask this sentence sharply.

Mao didn't know how Akashi did it.

But the first reaction was very clear, the part Mao didn't want to be spied on, she quickly replied: "No."

Akashi was silent for a while.

Zhengjun is very measured and knows how to detect people's hearts.

Mao had every reason to believe that Masamune would be clever enough to avoid this topic.

"Is it because of illness?"

Akashi asked.

Mao's hand holding the phone seemed to be able to feel the non-existent electric current, and it became a little stiff and unknown.

She did not speak.

Akashi was not in a hurry, following the silence, the subtle movements and footsteps from his side were clearly heard in Mao's ears.

"...I don't want to talk about it, Masamune." Mao announced in a low voice.

She declined to speak in depth on the matter.

Akashi understood what she meant.

"I'm sorry."

Akashi graciously changed the subject, and ended this unpleasant stretch without any hesitation.

Mao didn't want to talk to him about it, and on a deeper level, Mao couldn't trust him to this point.

This realization is not very pleasant.

……

Mao was all right in two days, after all, it wasn't a big problem, when Xu Wanghuan saw her, he almost cried and pounced on her, but fortunately, Feng Jingye stopped him in time after weighing the timing and occasion, otherwise Mao would still It is really possible to be embraced by him in the public, and then boarded the exchange group or private chat window of each family's peers without any suspense.

Xu Wanghuan was going to visit her on the first day, but he was called to drink tea by his grandmother Xu Wang Jingjiang. "Not going well" Huan is very picky. Huan has always walked on thin ice in front of her, so she couldn't rush to Mao in the first place. Two days later, Mao told him that there was nothing wrong with him, so he didn't have to worry about it and prepared for the "opening of the male public relations department" " Matters.

When Mao returned to school, the male public relations department had already been arranged.

The decoration is extremely luxurious, and the Xuwang family never skimps on money. Basically every decoration is airlifted back from various places. Even young masters and ladies from aristocratic families will be dazzled for a while. Feng Jingye has been holding documents since the opening With a clip and a pen, I don’t know what I’m recording when I write and draw. When I got close, I found out that it was financial expenditure and a non-stop perfect future operation plan.

Mao: "..."

Perhaps this is the flow of IQ.

Facing the pair of data, Zhenyang had a slight headache. She didn't have elite knowledge in this area, and even if she could only understand it, she understood how superb business acumen Feng Jingye had shown in a short period of time.

"It's amazing, Feng Jun."

You can say what you think, and Mao is not stingy with his praise.

"It's nothing worth mentioning." Feng Jingye responded modestly, without any special fluctuations in his expression, he reached out and took out a few sheets of paper from the folder, and handed them to Mao, "Although it's rude, but the position is As for the mascot, I think you are the best candidate to a certain extent, here are several operation plans for Miss Atobe, and you can choose the one you like.”

"You don't need to be so polite, that kind of honorific can be omitted..."

Mao opened the plans and plans about himself, and after a long silence, he said, "Actually, Feng-kun doesn't seem to be very polite to me... Is this the so-called 'superficial effort'?"

To this, Feng Jingye responded by simply pushing the rimless glasses on the bridge of her nose, and then said with a gentle smile, "Don't worry too much, Miss Atobe."

It's not that the plan is too much, "You must wear cute clothes when you have club activities, and sometimes you need to obey the overall arrangement" and so on... It seems impossible for Feng Jingye to be as polite to her as she is on the surface Mark "maid mode", "sister mode" or something...

Mao carefully raised his head and glanced at Feng Jingye, who was as immobile as a mountain and writing like a fly, thinking in his heart that he must not let his brother know about this, not at all, otherwise this future new star in the business world might encounter It was the first big hurdle in his life.

Teiko is going to hold a school festival recently. This kind of activity can be regarded as indispensable in all middle schools, but the time is sooner or later. Unlike sports festivals, the few schools that can be held are basically front and rear. After all, the most suitable time for exercise is only a few days.

Teiko was earlier than Hyotei and Sakura. Mao was very excited when she heard the news. She wanted to go to the ordinary Japanese school festival for a long time. Obviously there is no hope for Sakura. at Regal.

The only thing that is unfortunate is that the basketball club is in the semi-final stage, and the school festival is here again. Akashi, who is also the captain of the basketball team and the vice president of the student union, is extremely busy during this time What's even more frightening is that Mao learned that Teiko recently had a section exam that was included in the year-end total score evaluation. Even if Akashi is an ultra-high-performance core processor, it will be exhausted sooner or later.

Since the male public relations department is still in the trial operation stage, Mao doesn't need to stay there every day. After school on Monday, when he learned that Akashi was still handling things at school, Mao took the initiative to bring snacks to Teiko.

She didn't tell Akashi in advance, and there were no unnecessary questions in the short conversation just ended, she just confirmed from Akashi that he is still in school.

The last time I came, I went straight to the basketball club and didn't go to other places to have a good time. Mao didn't find a map of the school's area distribution in front of the school gate, so he looked around and asked the staff on duty in the security room.

"The second room from the left on the fifth floor of the administration building..."

Mao has a good sense of direction, and he found it smoothly. When he went upstairs, he was a little out of breath because of the rush, but just as he reached the fifth floor, his phone rang.

The screen clearly displayed: [Zheng Jun].

Mao: "..."

This... Could it be that Zhengjun's ingenuity played a role again?

For a while, Mao was in a complicated mood, and she didn't dare to accept it—God knows she didn't do anything bad!

After hesitating to pick it up, Mao walked furtively to the second room on the left.

"Zhengjun?"

When he picked it up, he yelled, which is Mao's habit of talking on the phone.

She thought that there was no problem, and she didn't want to hear Akashi's strange silence, and then came a questioning voice: "Where are you now?"

Mao: "..."

Mao: "I... no."

Hearing that she was so obviously guilty, Akashi gestured to the people around him, and immediately opened the door, meeting Mao who was about two meters away from the door.

Mao clearly saw a trace of surprise in Akashi's eyes, very quickly and thinly, because Akashi immediately said: "It really is here."

That tone was quite memorable to Mao, and there was a sense of being caught for granted, but it was Akashi's determined but smiling tone that embarrassed Mao without warning.

It means that she came to see her boyfriend justifiably, and she doesn't know why she has a guilty conscience...

Akashi put away his phone and walked towards Mao, he was in a good mood, which can be said to be a rare sight in Akashi Seijuro who has always been calm, like a blossoming iron tree: "Why are you here?"

Mao was still holding a snack in his hand, after the "Sudden Appearance" plan died, his whole body was in a bad mood, as if he was a flower bud, he pursed his lips, and whispered, "Let's come and see you."

Akashi looked at her and smiled: "Aren't you happy to be found out?"

"..." Mao puffed out his mouth unconvinced, and finally decided to ask, "Why do you find out immediately every time?"

Akashi didn't understand for a moment: "Every time?"

"That's right..." Mao hesitated for a while, as if he was making a fuss, he refused to elaborate, and replied in a general way, "It's all before."

Akashi probably knew what she was talking about.

The bottom of his heart seemed to be filled with many warm things, he explained: "This time is a coincidence."

this time.

That means it was seen before.

A crushing feeling came over me.

Mao looked at Akashi resentfully, and handed over the snack in his hand: "Here you are."

The other hand stretched out, it was a slightly larger portion: "This is someone else's."

She intended to come to visit and didn't want to bother too much.

"Thank you." Akashi took the two snacks and called her to stop, "Mao, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Mao wanted to shake his head, but he was already at the door, so it seemed a bit of a loss if he really left like this?

In the end, Akashi led Mao into the student union room. The Teiko Student Union did not have a separate lounge, but the area of ​​the private room was quite spacious. The moment Mao entered, the sound in the room suddenly stopped.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Mao, and then moved to Akashi's side, counting back and forth, as if playing a silent movie, and finally, as the president, Higashitani was the first to come back to his senses with the advantage of his age and experience of strong winds and waves: "Akashi, this is...?"

With that tone, the soul of gossip is almost overflowing.

On the other hand, Akashi was very calm throughout the whole process, and there was no difference in his answer at this time: "My girlfriend."

Mao bowed towards them generously: "This is the first time we meet, I am Mao Atobe."

"welcome!"

"You, hello."

Amid the miscellaneous greetings, Akashi put the dim sum on the table, and handed the slightly larger portion to Donggu: "Do you want dim sum?"

No need to think about it, I knew it was brought by my girlfriend!

While envious and jealous, Donggu took out a piece of snack and bit it down fiercely.

"...Huh?! This dessert is so delicious!" Donggu couldn't help but marvel after taking a bite, "Did you make it yourself?!"

"It's for takeout." Mao blinked, "It would be great if it suits your appetite."

Donggu blushed suddenly, it was a rare experience to be treated like this by a cute girl of this level: "You are welcome!"

Others came over to taste it, and they all gave quite favorable comments.

The girl at the desk who was helping to sort out the files secretly gasped: I heard that Akashi has a girlfriend, but the last time I came here, I was only in the basketball club, and it was already after school, so it was nothing. Not to mention, the basketball club is located in the rear of the whole Diguang.

The girl's cleaning action slowed down, and she couldn't stop looking at this little girl carved in pink and jade—it turns out that the girl that the omnipotent Akashi-kun likes is like this, so...cute, right? !

is that a lie!Do you like this type? !

However, if you take a closer look, you can see the special features of Akashi-kun's girlfriend. Regardless of the delicacy of the whole body, the girl can only recognize that the scarf around her neck is a limited new model of a certain brand that just appeared in a magazine last week... ...The girl vaguely remembers rumors in the school that Akashi-kun came from an extraordinary family, a family worthy of Yu Caosi's level. Although I can't figure out why such a young master of such a family would come to such a common school to study, some people think this is just a rumor. After all, Akashi himself never I didn't say anything, but now it seems... It's really rich people who are in love.

The girl glanced at the scarf a few more times, completely unaware that she had been noticed, and couldn't help but secretly took out her phone to take a sneak shot, when Akashi's voice came to her ears: "Ishikura, from the External Relations Department Have you got the information?"

Ishikura who was called was the girl herself. Her back stiffened and she almost thought she had been discovered, but seeing Akashi-kun's appearance seemed to be the same as usual, Ishikura hurriedly lowered her head and rummaged through a kind of file. , Confirmed after a while: "Yes, I didn't take it."

"Thank you for making an extra trip."

Akashi even smiled at her very politely.

Shi Cang was fascinated by this smile, and only after walking out the door did he narrowly come back to his thoughts: This should be just a coincidence, didn't he see her intention...?

Inside the house, Akashi poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Maou, and asked softly: "It will be over soon, can you wait for me for a while?"

"Yeah!" Mao nodded happily, "I'm treating you today."

Akashi didn't refute, but he didn't agree directly: "You can think about where you want to go first."

Mao looked up at him with his head up, his eyes moved, showing a sly and agile expression: "Thank you just now."

This thank you was very light, and it was extremely concealed.

After all, in Mao's opinion, no one else should have seen that Akashi was doing it on purpose.

Akashi rolled his eyes, and put the book he brought over in her hand: "See if anyone is interested, you don't like me going to get something else."

Diguang is different from his elder brother's Ice Emperor. Ice Emperor has a special student union room for his elder brother alone.

Mao glanced roughly, and asserted that these were Akashi's own books. If she was really so self-willed and picky, it would be hard to bother Akashi in Teiko, where there is no independent storage shelf.

This is against the original intention.

Mao then took a copy of "Leda and the Swan", opened it, and it was indeed the original.She had read this collection of poems before, but she didn't understand it very deeply, and it would be interesting to read it again now.

In the room, besides Akashi, the president Higashitani, and Ishikura who just sorted out the materials, there is also a man wearing glasses who is similar to an accounting clerical position. The three of them are discussing the follow-up matters of the school festival. Looks very busy.

Mao looked at it, got up to pour water, one cup for each person, including Ishikura who just came back with the materials, a total of four cups.

Akashi was dividing the field, and immediately noticed Mao's intentions, fearing that she would be burned, his eyes shifted for a moment, but he didn't really go to take over.

Mao gently put the cup on the side of the table and the rest of the people noticed it at this moment. Donggu was really surprised and couldn't help saying: "Akashi, your girlfriend is also amazing!"

People who are poor in words sometimes have this problem when they praise others. They don’t know what words to use to describe them, and they are afraid of offending the people they meet for the first time, so they have to choose the most eclectic “stick”.

Maou couldn't help laughing, with a smile on his lips, and the ending sound raised: "Senior is also very good."

Donggu was embarrassed by the praise.

Akashi picked up the paper cup, the water temperature was just right.

He took a sip, and the suitable temperature rushed through the atrium.

"Ah, I'm really going crazy, there's still—!"

At this moment, the accountant and clerk sighed while leaning on his forehead, and suddenly found that Mao, who was beside him, had raised his head from the book and was staring at him intently, and the second half of the sentence was stuck in his throat.

"It's almost over." Akashi handed him the form at hand, took a piece of paper from Ishikura, glanced at the table, and breathed a sigh of relief, "The only thing left is the confirmation of the invitation letter. It's not difficult."

Mao found that when Akashi focused on something, he always had a kind of calmness that could affect others, and no matter how overwhelmed he was, his emotions would dissipate invisible, and then he calmed down.

There is no need to rush to finalize the invitation letter, today's matter is over.

Akashi walked to Mao's side, his brows and eyes relaxed: "I kept you waiting for a long time."

"No." Mao shook her head, closed the book in her hand, stood up, and got closer to Akashi, she said, "I want an invitation letter."

Akashi glanced sideways, "Huh?"

Mao continued: "I want to come to the school festival too, is that okay?"

Akashi bent his lips: "You don't need an invitation letter."

Mao looked at him silently.

"I'll take you in."

Akashi said.

Mao then nodded obediently: "Okay."

The three people watching: "..."

dog!

What a dog!

Reject dog food, love singles!
