Thirteen brothers urged me to get married

48.

The banquet of Akashi's family was no different from the banquets of other families that Xue Zhi had attended before.

There are people coming and going, drinking and drinking, or true or false friendship with perfect etiquette, filling the banquet hall.

The only real interests are buried under their smiles, and only occasionally a little truth is revealed between you and me.

Xuezhi bit the bullet and walked around with Yachen, saying hello to people she knew, and getting to know people she didn't know.

After doing this, she finally ended the long torture, and had a chance to find a corner to take a breath.

There will be a long wait, waiting for Patriarch Akashi to speak at eight o'clock, waiting for him to finish his business, and then waiting for the banquet to end.

Xuezhi hid behind the curtain of the balcony and yawned softly.

She's sleepy again...

She had already had a good rest at home for two days on Thursday and Friday, but for some reason her exhaustion did not decrease but increased instead.

The meet and greet between Chun and Azusa on Wednesday, at the end of the meeting, really met an accident as Zhou Fangzun said - criminals planted a bomb in another venue not far away.

Fortunately, Barbara was alerted and tracked down in advance, and people from the Metropolitan Police Department came in time, and a terrorist attack case was killed in its infancy.

Finally, the bomb was successfully ruled out, and the criminals were successfully captured.

With such a thrilling and exciting way of meeting, but without putting that one person in real danger, it unexpectedly attracted widespread attention. In a sense, it was a blessing in disguise.

It's just that from the beginning to the end, Xuezhi's emotions were always tense.

Zhou Fangzun's affairs, the criminals' affairs, and her worries about her younger brothers combined together, causing her emotions to fluctuate in a short period of time.

By the time the matter at the problem meeting was completely over, it was already very late.

In the late autumn night, the cold air and the cold wind intertwined, even if it just blows a little bit, it is enough to trigger a flu.

The exhausted Xuezhi went home without even wanting to eat dinner, and went back to her room early to sleep, only to be found to have a low-grade fever the next morning.

After being sick at home for two days, Xuezhi's condition has improved a lot, but her face is still pale. Before going out today, she carefully applied blush and lipstick to save her complexion.

It's just that she is still mentally ill and doesn't want to socialize with anyone, she just wants to be alone.

No, after fulfilling the basic etiquette, she couldn't wait to escape from the crowd, and hid in the balcony alone.

The enclosed balcony is filled with glass, in front of you is the feasting and feasting of the bustling metropolis, and behind you is the feasting and drinking of the small upper class society.

Xuezhi hid in the gap between the two, reaping a short period of peace.

is really short.

She hadn't had more than 10 minutes of alone time on the balcony before someone found it.

With a tall figure and short hair of the same color as hers, it was Shintaro Midorima.

He opened the curtains, took half a step forward and let the curtains fall to block his figure and also block the sight of the banquet hall.

It's just that he didn't take a single step forward.

He seemed a little nervous, and he struggled for a while before opening his mouth: "Xue Zhi, I heard that you have been sick for the past two days, are you feeling better?"

Xuezhi was not in a good state of mind. Seeing that he was a familiar person, he did not insist on social etiquette. He leaned against the window and slightly tilted his head and said, "It's okay? It's recovered."

Hearing what she said, Shintaro Midorima couldn't figure out what she meant.

Is it because you don't feel well and don't want to talk?Or do you simply not want to talk to him?

Shintaro Midorima has sent messages to Xuezhi these days, and noticed the time and frequency of her reply. It is not difficult to see that she seems to be alienating him.

But he didn't quite understand why this happened. They had a good chat before, and the distance between the two of them was so close that they could call each other by name.

Maybe by going ahead and letting things take their course, he could see further promise in their relationship, and finally get what they wanted.

But everything seemed to come to an abrupt end here.

"Is it because I was too obvious on Mt. Takao, let her see my thoughts, and made her resist?" Midorima Shintaro couldn't help but reflect on his every move.

Perhaps, it does seem too intimate.

he thinks……

He stood at the junction of the balcony and the banquet hall, and after a long silence, he said, "Well, you have to take good care of yourself."

"Thank you, Shintaro." Xuezhi said this, with a standard social smile on her face, and her voice was light and ethereal, which got into her ears and quickly disappeared.

Midorima Shintaro turned and left.

Xuezhi thought for a while before realizing that she seemed to have forgotten to reply to Midorima Shintaro's text message a few days ago.

There was also no reply to text messages from Ryota Kise and Seiichi Yukimura.

This made Xuezhi a little tangled up. When I didn't think about it, I could feel at ease, but now that I think about it, it always seems a bit impolite not to reply.

But once answered, there will be more questions.

Xuezhi was very tangled.

……

Just when she was struggling in her heart, the balcony where she was sitting welcomed the third guest today.

And it's one of the people Xuezhi doesn't want to meet right now—Ryota Kise.

It's not any other reason, such as not replying to text messages or something.

cough……

Mainly because of Kise Ryota's status: a big star with a high degree of nationality.

Many girls in the banquet hall were his fans, and the arrival of Ryota Kise completely attracted the attention of his fans.

Xuezhi leaned on the window sill and looked out the window, thinking about the possibility of jumping and surviving healthy.

Well, this is the 66th floor.

Yukie sighed inwardly, and heard Kise Ryota say something similar to Midorima Shintaro in an energetic voice.

He said: "Xiaoxue, Fengdou said you are sick, I am so worried about you, are you okay now?"

Xuezhi nodded and said, "It's pretty good, don't worry."

She just wants Huang Seliang to leave too soon, and she will find a hidden place after he leaves and continue to stay alone.

Kise Ryota is not as easy to retreat as Midorima Shintaro.

It was not easy for him to find a chance to see Xuezhi, but anyway, he still hoped to stay with her for a while longer.

"Fengdou was absent-minded during training the day before yesterday. The teacher in class reminded him several times but it didn't work. He was afraid that something was going on in his mind, so he asked me to comfort Fengdou."

Kise Ryota was explaining why he knew about her illness, "Otherwise I wouldn't have known you were sick, are you too tired?"

"There must be this reason." Xuezhi nodded.

In fact, this is only a small part of the reason, but the specific reason is not easy to explain, so she simply followed what Kise Ryota said.

"Ah, then you should take a good rest." Kise Ryota seemed a little anxious, "Would you like to go to the lounge to rest?"

Xuezhi rubbed her temples and rejected his proposal.

In fact, if someone else suggested it, she might accept it.

But Ryota Kise, that really won't work.

Otherwise, maybe he led her to the rest room, and they would make entertainment headlines.

"How should I let him know that the biggest obstacle now is him Kise Ryota?"

Xuezhi was a little distressed.

Kise Ryota's enthusiasm did not get much response from Yukie, which made him a little frustrated: "Am I a little noisy?"

Yukie looked at Kise Ryota in surprise, she didn't expect him to say that suddenly.

It didn't feel like the Kise Ryota she knew.

Although she occasionally dislikes Kise Ryota, the only thing she dislikes is that he is too popular and attracts too much attention, and she just doesn't like being stared at by strangers.

In her mind, Kise Ryota is always full of enthusiasm, always full of vitality, always young and enthusiastic, and is a perfect friend.

At this time, Xue Zhi saw that Huang Lai Ryota was a little depressed, in order to comfort him, she decided not to pretend to be healthy anymore.

Instead, he showed a slightly weak smile: "It's because I just recovered from an illness and my body is a little weak, not because of you."

Unexpectedly, Huang Lailiang became even more depressed. He looked so guilty that he wanted to grab the wall with his head: "Ah, I didn't know you...I still dragged you to talk so much, I was so stupid."

"I... I'll go to Akashi and ask him to arrange a separate lounge for you. Just stay here and wait."

He said in a panic, seeming a little sad, but he still didn't forget to take care of Xuezhi's emotions, "Don't worry, I won't come over later, and I won't cause trouble to you."

Xuezhi stared blankly at Kise Ryota leaving the balcony, feeling that she seemed to have done something wrong just now.

Originally, she just wanted Kise Ryota to stop self-doubt, but she didn't expect that it would directly cause him to start to blame himself deeply.

"Oh..." Xuezhi sighed.

She looked at the night sky, knocked on her forehead, and felt that she was not only mentally weak, but even her mind was not clear.

……

Kise Ryota keeps his word.

Xuezhi didn't wait long on the balcony, and then someone from Akashi's family came to take her to the lounge.

It's just that this member of the Akashi family was a bit unexpected. It was not a servant or housekeeper of the Akashi family, but Akashi Seijuro himself.

Akashi Seijuro's gaze was as gentle as ever: "Yuezhi, are you okay?"

"Ah, it's actually pretty good." Xuezhi was a little uncomfortable, and felt a little guilty about his coming, "You are so busy today, and I have to trouble you, I'm really sorry."

Akashi Seijuro shook his head in disapproval: "There is no need to be embarrassed. To me, your matter is very important."

Xuezhi was stunned, not understanding what he meant by saying this at this time.

Akashi Seijuro did not continue on this topic, but turned around and motioned for her to follow: "Let's go, I will take you to the lounge."

Xuezhi stood there without moving, and said with some hesitation: "Actually, it's not necessary, it's the same for me to rest here."

Akashi Seijuro looked back at her, and Yukie felt that she felt tolerance from his gaze.

Well, it's like a landlord looking at his silly child.

Landlord? Akashi Seijuro said flatly: "Staying here will only cause troubles."

Yukie thought of Kise Ryota who had just left not long ago, and had to admit that Akashi Seijuro was right.

She wanted to say that she could stay on another balcony, but she thought that Akashi Seijuro had already arrived, the trouble had already been caused, and it would be most convenient to follow him, so she didn't bother anymore.

She finally raised her heel to Akashi Seijuro: "Well, maybe you're right."

Akashi Seijuro took the elevator with Yukie and directly pressed the top floor.

Xuezhi couldn't help but twitch, the top floor... is usually the presidential suite, right?

Just go to the lounge, don't you need such a big fight?

Xuezhi felt that the cold she had recovered from had a tendency to recur.Otherwise, why would she suddenly feel a headache?
