Infest

Turning his face slightly to look at the beautiful scenery of the courtyard, his expression was so calm that he seemed to be enjoying his daily afternoon, "I'm not as good as Luanye, sometimes I can't express my feelings, clumsy and unreliable."

After a pause, Blackbird slightly bent his fingers and tapped on the tatami, his expression suddenly became more mocking at that moment: "But, I'm not so stupid that I can't even consider the basic pros and cons."

"Pros and cons?" Xingruo Kazuki seemed to have heard something funny, "If you inherit the Xingruo family, then you will not only have those from the Guochang Lu family, everything from the two families will become yours. "

Black Bird stopped, looking at Kazuki who was full of confidence in surprise, "...how did you know?"

Guochanglu Dajue is not the king of silver, everything he owns that will age and die must have a home. After Chili and Luanye leave, everything is destined to be left to Blackbird to inherit.

But this kind of thing, not many people know.

The old man seemed to feel that he had grasped a certain point, and his expression became confident again: "Sure enough. Don't you want it? Fortunately, everything on Ruojia and Guochang Road? As long as you become the owner of the family, you can own everything and become the owner of this country. The top guy."

He thought that he could convince Blackbird, just like when Ranye said that he would go back and think about it, but fortunately Kazuki didn't know that it was just Lucky Ruoye's perfunctory to him, so he thought that no one would reject this proposal.

"It should be said that when the time comes, everything in Guochang Lu's family will be the owner of the family, right?" He really thought of himself as an idiot.

Putting away his sleeves, Heibird fixed his gaze on the cuff of the cuff: "I didn't inherit any other advantages from Xingruo's family, but I inherited stubbornness twice, because my mother, besides Apart from being strong, the biggest characteristic is sticking to one’s own point of view.”

"So it's the same for me. If I make a certain decision, maybe even Master Guochanglu can't persuade me, but it's because I've never bothered to make a choice by myself, so he has been taking care of me and pampering me." Hei Bird was silent for a while, recalling that when Guochang Lu Dajue stood in front of him, he had the unique sense of security of a king, as if as long as he trusted him, everything would pass.

Perhaps at that time, a seed was planted deep in his heart, and he knew that this person would become his king in the future.

"Crack." That was the sound of a teacup breaking.

Fortunately, Ruo Kazuki frowned, seemed dissatisfied with everything he heard, and even threw a teacup over, staring at the expressionless black bird, reprimanded in a tone of hatred: "Can't you Do you make your own decision? In the future, you will be in charge of the entire Xingruo family!"

Sure enough, he is a weak person with no advantages at all!

"I made a decision a long time ago, because I knew that this day would come." Compared to the old man's anger, Blackbird's expression was calm, "Whoever you decide to find as the next Patriarch, it has nothing to do with me, because I, until death They will never go back to Xingruo's house."

Fortunately, Ruo Yishu finally broke out: "How dare you..."

The sudden ringing of the bell interrupted him.

Patriarch Xing Ruo, who stuck his reprimand in his mouth because he was obsessed with upbringing, turned his head angrily, and Black Bird said "I'm sorry" and stood up, took two steps towards the courtyard, and left the tea room: " Hello, Mr. Pedestrian?"

"Mr. Xingruo... Are you still at Xingruo's house?" The voice on the other end was very hesitant, and the black bird glanced at Xingruo Kazuki who seemed to be angry, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth in a good mood: "What's wrong? "

"Can you come back right away? Someone found a body in Tokyo Bay near Kagutsu Meteor Crater." Jin Chengzhai was silent for a while, and finally decided to continue, "I was just sent back, and my identity has been confirmed. , yes... fortunately, if the leaves are scattered."

28Key (key)

On the day her mother died, she held onto Luanye's hand tightly, as if she wanted to use all her strength, and said, "Take good care of your brother and sister."

Heibird can still clearly remember the blue veins on the back of her hands, which stood out against her pale skin.

Chi Li's tears streaming down his face, Luan Ye's silence and his own bewilderment formed the impression Hei Niao left on that day.

Afterwards, Luckily, Luan Ye kept his promise, and after coming to Guochang Lu’s house, he still put the carp and black bird first besides the king of gold, and would accompany them to the playground and so on in his spare time. place, like any dutiful older brother.

To put it bluntly, this is very similar to the tenderness of Kanin and Kanin Erasho, who are careful and guard their family members as protectors.

Until half a year ago, something happened that Blackbird couldn't understand and couldn't bear.

The sad and bewildered Xingruo Blackbird has been thinking since that day that he will be the one who killed Luanye with his own hands.

In the end...that guy just died?

The buzzing sound in his ears was amplified, and everything around him became a bit blurred, making Blackbird feel cold all over. No matter how warm the sun was shining on his body, he still couldn't feel the heat.

Black Bird's expression was blank for a second, and the joyful mood that had been caused by Kazuki's anger dissipated without a trace in an instant. He frowned and lowered his head, realizing that his hand holding the terminal was trembling slightly :"What happened?"

Jin Chengzhai heard his trembling voice, and his voice softened a lot: "Natural death, the body was left beside the Kaguto crater. Because it was too strange, people were sent to investigate, but nothing was found."

Even though he was only 29 years old, it seemed as if his lifespan had really expired, and even the state of death was still as neat and elegant as before Xingwaka Ranha was alive, and it looked like he was just asleep.

"……yes."

Responding briefly, Blackbird didn't raise his head, but just stared at his own toes, looking from behind, he seemed to be thinking about something.

But if you observe him carefully, you will find that the black bird is trembling almost all over now, with such a slight amplitude, it seems as if the whole person has just been fished out after being thrown into cold water, but soon, he took a deep breath. He raised his head in one breath, and his tone was still unbelievably relaxed as before: "I see, then please ask Pedestrian Lord to pick me up."

"I'm on my way now, and I'll be at Xing Ruo's house in 2 minutes."

After finishing the call, Blackbird slowly walked back to the tea room.

Facing the old man who restrained his anger but still had sharp eyes, his expression was a little depressed, as if he was recalling something, then he lowered his head and tightened his fingers:

"You didn't come when my father died."

Black Bird's light tone made the old man in front of him frown slightly, but because the topic that Black Bird suddenly brought up was too sensitive, he just picked up the tea bowl in front of him, trying to ignore the guilt brought by Black Bird's words.

"You were not there when my mother died."

I don't know if it's his own illusion, but luckily Kazuki noticed that the eyes of the grandson in front of him, who he defined as gentle and weak, gradually took on a temperature as cold as ice. When he took a sudden look, that sharp gaze was very similar to that of him leaving home. The eldest son and third son who were decisive and indifferent before.

"When the carp passed away, you still didn't come." At this point, Black Bird slightly bent down and looked down at Kazuki Xingruo who was still sitting upright, with an undeniable strength in his expression, "Then the funeral of Chaoye , please, please, don't come out."

If Blackbird sees this old man, he is worried that he will do something excessive. Even now, the golden flame that has not been used much is ready to burst out in his chest.

"...Luanye?" Hearing the name of the eldest grandson he admired, Xingruo Kazuki was slightly taken aback, as if he couldn't react, "He... died?"

Blackbird didn't answer his question directly, but took two steps back, and said in a cold tone, "You probably don't understand the bond between us and the Guochang Lu family, right? Grandpa."

Because it was the first time he heard Blackbird call him "Grandpa", his expression softened a little, and just about to continue asking about Luanye, Blackbird interrupted him:

"Whether it was the help that my father provided to our family when he just passed away, or the way my mother brought us back to take care of us after his death, Mr. Guochang Road obviously did not have that obligation, but he still did something that we are grateful for. At that time, where are you?"

"Wait……"

"When Master Guochanglu gave us everything, you left us young behind in order to vomit, and only after knowing the identity of your mother did you want to let Luanye come back, but you pretended that you didn't have that granddaughter Chili , Half a year ago, you didn't even think about attending her funeral, so why do you now ask me, who has never met me, to be the head of Xing Ruo's family as a grandfather?" Hei Niao is in a very bad mood now.

But he still maintained a calm expression, and even spoke softly with a smile on his face, his tone was as subtle as a whisper: "So, from today, I will sever all ties with Xing Ruo's family."

During the whole process, luckily Kazuki didn't have time to say anything.

Hei Bird left the tea room after saying "Farewell" and returned along the same route as when he came. When he learned that his eldest grandson had passed away and watched the master choose to distance himself from him, Kazuki was silent. Looking at the back of him as he went away, that thin figure carried unpersuadable stubbornness, just like the few people who had left.

One by one, they were all like this, acting recklessly to the point that as the head of the family, he was powerless to stop them.

The stubbornness and obstinacy made the old man not want to keep them. This time, he just sighed softly, crumpled up the stack of documents beside him, stood up and stuffed them into the trash can.
