The taxi was driving slowly on the black and smooth asphalt road with few people.This place avoids the hustle and bustle of the city, but it is a rare tranquility and comfort.On both sides of the road are European-style residences, with beautiful white bricks and tiles, clean floor-to-ceiling windows, and a small garden, which is very suitable for people to live in.

In this place where every inch of land becomes gold, it is indeed of great value to actually open up a secluded residence here alone.The taxi was parked by the side of the road, Zao got out of the car and walked slowly to the gate of the yard.

At this time, it was getting late, the light was already weak, the sky was dark gray and dense, almost blocking all the sun, and the air was cold and humid.

Zao subconsciously glanced at the house number, which clearly wrote the name of the owner of the house.

Zao mustered up the courage to ring the doorbell.

"Why would anyone come here at this time." The owner of the house put down the newspaper in his hand, put on his coat, and glanced out the window.

"Are you?" The door opened, and a strange black-haired girl stood in front of her. She didn't look like a student of Hyodi in her school uniform.

Zao raised her head and looked at the handsome man with a stern face in front of her.

"Uncle Sakaki, my name is Sakakizao."

In an instant, the expression on the man's face changed slightly.

The living room is spacious and bright. The floor is covered with dark and thick solid wood floors. Dark blue curtains block all the light. The furniture in the room is European and retro, and the crystal chandelier in warm orange tones sets off the tranquility and luxury of the whole space.

Zao was sitting on the dark leather sofa, and Sakaki Taro was sitting opposite, leaning on the sofa with one hand, looking at Zao.

He didn't have much impression of this niece. He studied abroad in the early years, and after returning to China, he also vaguely heard about her family's situation in the family, and he only knew it with a simple description.As for Jujube, I saw it a few times at family gatherings a long time ago. It is small and white, no different from ordinary children, except that it is very courageous, and everyone laughs when it sees it.

Due to his cold personality, most of the children don't like to be close to him, but Zao is the only one who is not afraid of life, and dares to ask him for candy.

It was only later that I found out that it was a relative's child.Because the blood relationship is not particularly close and there are few contacts, so gradually I don't remember it.It's just that I didn't expect this child to find himself.

Is it because you want money?Sakaki Taro guessed in his heart.

"Zao, what do you want from me?" After a long silence, Sakaki Taro broke the awkward situation.

"Uncle Sakaki, I need your help." Zao said the simple and clear words word by word, especially in the closed and quiet environment, Zao's voice was extraordinarily clear.

Without any foreshadowing, Zao confides her needs straightforwardly.

For a moment, Sakaki was also shocked.It was hard for him to imagine that a young girl would come to his house alone to ask for his help.Even if there is something at home, it should be the parents who are the elders, not her.

"If it's about money, I can" Sakaki just wanted to say that I can help appropriately, but the girl shook her head.

Zao raised the corners of her lips for a moment, feeling a little bitter.

"Uncle Sakaki, I provoked someone I shouldn't have provoked."

"Who?" Sakaki's eyes tightened suddenly, his expression was as cold and serious as an ice sculpture, and he walked slowly to the window, straightened his body, and lifted the curtains, the outside of the window was dark, compared to the dark and empty night in the past, At this moment, the black clouds are rolling, and the clouds are thick.

Not a good day.

"It's Akashi Seijuro, the heir of the Akashi Foundation."

Suddenly, the hand holding the curtain became stiff, he turned around, and suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was a little strange.Most of the pale and delicate facial features were covered by black bangs, and the face was not very clear.

Sakakitaro's eyes gradually turned cold.At this moment, the breath in the originally oppressive space stagnated, and the slightest breath became particularly clear.

Sakaki Taro put his arms around his shoulders and slowly walked up to Zao.

"Zao, do you know what it means to be the heir of the Akashi Foundation?" Sakaki Taro felt a little unbelievable, which simply exceeded the thinking of normal people.

"I know." Zao nodded.

Therefore, Zao did not come here with absolute possibility.After all, just as Tiger Igarashi said, Akashi is someone who cannot be offended.However, Zao is not reconciled, even if there is still a glimmer of hope, Zao hopes to try.

for a long time.

Sakaki Taro didn't even speak, he glanced at Zao who was also nervous.As he has entered middle age, he has naturally experienced many things, but he did not expect that Zao would encounter these things at such a young age.

If he left it alone, Sakaki Taro didn't know what would happen.

"Zao, let me think about it first." Sakaki Taro said and went upstairs.The footsteps were sonorous and forceful, stepping on the hard stairs step by step, Zao's mood was also up and down.

Zao breathed a sigh of relief, her tense body immediately relaxed as Sakaki left, Zao leaned on the soft sofa as if without bones.

Zao stared blankly at the coffee table diagonally across from him, feeling empty in his heart.Zao didn't dare to think about anything, and didn't dare to look forward to anything, for fear that the more she looked forward to, the more sad she would be.

"If, if I go back, maybe it will be easier." Zao smiled wryly, her tears had dried up, but the soreness in her nasal cavity was still uncontrollable.

Akashi's mansion in the outer suburbs of Kyoto.

Luxurious and extravagant, the red-haired boy is lazily lying on his side on the sofa, his eyes are like a quiet lake, without a pair of waves, but the darkened color in the middle of the pupils faintly reveals the madness hidden under the calm surface.

"Kiryuzao, no one is willing to help you, you will come back eventually." The boy sighed softly, his eyes determined.

Sakaki Taro arrived in the study and thought about it for a long time, and now there were a few more wrinkles between his brows on his meticulous expression in the past.

After thinking for a long time, he finally picked up his phone and dialed the number.

"Supervisor Sakaki, it's so late, do you have anything to do with me?" There was a young man's rebellious voice on the phone.

"Atobe-kun, I want to ask one thing."

When Sakaki Taro went downstairs, it was really late.It was dark outside, and the ground near the window could be seen wet by the light, and it seemed to be raining lightly.

Jujube's nerves were tense for a day today, and after a rare relaxation, he felt extremely tired.In a daze, it seemed that someone was touching his shoulder.

Zao's eyes narrowed the thin slits, and the eyes that had been closed for a long time felt that the light was particularly strong at this moment.When you meet Uncle Sakaki's eyes.

Zao stood up abruptly, and said shyly, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep."

Sakaki didn't say a word, as usual rigid.

Zao seems to have guessed the answer. "Uncle Sakaki, I'm sorry to disturb you so late. It's getting late, so I'll go back first." Zao stood up and straightened her clothes a little.Although, at this point, it is difficult to take a taxi to the city, but there is no need to stay anymore.

Opening the door, a biting cold wind mixed with cold rain blew in, and Zao couldn't help shivering.

"Wait a minute." Sakaki's voice paused, and Zao stopped.

"I'll report to Bingdi next week, and I'll take care of the school transfer for you." The voice was neither soft nor heavy, and Zao couldn't speak for a moment.

Uncle Sakaki, thank you.
