[Comprehensive] Reasons for not being in love

As a result, at the hospital that day, Tomei didn't ask any questions.She only knew that her overly serious appearance once again scared Eita Saijo to tears.Looking at the big boy who was a little taller than herself and still crying, she almost suspected that the mind of this young man of the same age as her was still ten years ago.

However, Eita Saijo did not tell the whole story related to the project, which does not mean that Teiko's Christmas activities will not be carried out.The delicate and frail (?) Vice President Saijo was unable to continue to be in charge of this project, so the responsibility naturally fell on President Koga who had just recovered from a serious illness.

Although the sponsorship of the event was settled by Akashi with a game of chess ten years ago, the process of discussing the event with the LW club still has to go through it symbolically.

In the evening, it was rare that my cousin Jibu was also at home, and the two had dinner together.Facing the excellent big cousin sitting opposite him like a luminous body, Tomei seemed to have not seen it, and was in a daze to himself, his mind was full of activities.

LW's sponsorship is of course not a problem, but Tomei has been thinking about what he should say when the handover is over.She herself was surprised that she, who has always acted competently and prudently, was a little nervous about this kind of thing.The reason is very simple, because the president of LW, Yokoyama.She knew that under normal circumstances she would not be able to meet directly with LW's President Yokoyama, but whenever she thought about event planning, she couldn't help but think of Yokoyama's expressionless and cold face.

No way, she was too impressed with the President.

After completely portraying Yokoyama's face in his mind, Tomei couldn't help frowning and trembling.Then, Atobe, who was sitting opposite her, also moved slightly.Atobe, who was always secretly watching his cousin's every move, naturally immediately noticed Tomei's abnormality.

"What's wrong with you?" Atobe asked raising an eyebrow.

Dong Ming paused, then looked back at his cousin.Although there are some things that can be said to ask her cousin to give her some advice, Tona, who is used to being independent, still chooses to shake her head slightly, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about school activities."

Knowing Toname's serious and persistent character, Atobe didn't say anything to her, he just raised his hand and brushed his hair, as if all his attention was on it.Although in fact he was very eager to help his cousin, but he still showed a rather indifferent face and said: "If you need help, just tell me."

"Ah, I really have a question I want to ask."

"Huh?" Atobe raised his eyebrows again.

"By the way, cousin, are you familiar with LW... President Yokoyama of LIGHTINGWORKS?"

"Yokoyama from LW..." Atobe held his chin and pondered for a few seconds, as if he finally remembered this person, "Akashi is familiar with that Yokoyama. Why? Is there something he needs to do?"

"It's not like asking him for something." Hmm...just inexplicably afraid of this person.

Of course, Tomei chose to let it disappear in his mouth for the latter words.If I let my cousin know that I am a little afraid of Mr. Yokoyama, I will definitely be said "Why do you have such unglamorous emotions" or something like that.

Speaking of Akashi, Atobe naturally thought of another thing: "Tomei, if you are free on the weekend, come with me to Akashi's house."

"Huh... eh? Eh?!" Caught off guard by his cousin's sudden topic, Tona stared at Atobe with wide eyes in surprise.

Akashi?Are you going to Akashi's house?

So suddenly...

Just the mention of this name made Tona's heart beat subconsciously faster.No matter how you say it, she originally had admiration for Akashi, but after the past ten years ago, her feelings for Akashi are even more deep-seated.

"Ah what?" Atobe glanced at her in disgust, "You really don't look gorgeous like this."

"Oh... um..." Dong Ming uncharacteristically didn't complain about her cousin and talked about gorgeousness again. She lowered her head dumbly, hoping to hide her expression.

Well, she admitted that she was really emotional.

She imagined countless times when she and Akashi in this time and space would meet next time, and what kind of attitude the other party would have towards her after meeting.Maybe it might really have to wait until the day of the Christmas event.

Tomei knew that the Akashi Seijuro in this time and space was not the one ten years ago, and the other party's concept of "Koga Tomei" was just "Atobe's cousin".Maybe the love between Kaori Fujii and Akashi ten years ago was really just an overly beautiful dream.

"Tomi, are you listening to me?"

"what?"

Seeing his cousin's confused face, Atobe couldn't help but touch his forehead, and even felt a little frustrated.What's wrong, that cousin who always likes me ignores me repeatedly.

"Going...to Akashi's house, what's the matter?" Tomei carefully restrained his emotions, trying to make himself look the same as usual.

Atobe glared at his cousin impatiently, but had to repeat what he said before: "I told you before, I will pay a visit at home, and I haven't formally thanked Akashi, have I?"

After hearing Atobe's words, Tona nodded knowingly.

That's right, I want to express my gratitude to Akashi for sending himself to the hospital.It's just that Atobe took the initiative to propose this opportunity to meet with Akashi directly.

I made an appointment with Akashi for the weekend, and as time went by step by step, Tomei became a little anxious.

As a cousin, Atobe, of course, took Tomei's reaction into his eyes. He was as smart as him. Combining the time before and after, and after a little speculation, he understood the reason for Tomei's current emotional change.

"Didn't you meet Akashi before?" Atobe was very puzzled by Toname's anxiety, "Is that guy so scary?"

Yes, that's right, Atobe thought that Tona was afraid of Akashi, after all Akashi's always cold face was indeed daunting.

Thinking of this, Atobe couldn't help being narcissistic again, heh, it really is my uncle who is close to the people.

Tona opened her mouth to say something, but she silently closed her mouth after seeing her cousin once again falling into a narcissistic atmosphere.

Forget it, even my cousin wouldn't understand.

On the day of the weekend appointment, Tomei's mood began to be complicated again.Sitting in the car with Atobe on the way there, she felt restless.

If there hadn't been a space-time jump that happened ten years ago, maybe she wouldn't have been so nervous, at most she would have been blushing at the male god from the perspective of Akashi's fan girl.But now, it's different from before.

"Tomi, is there something on your mind recently?"

Atobe of Insight MAX still asked the question, since his cousin was discharged from the hospital, it seems that something has been wrong.He squinted his eyes and looked at Tomei's soft side face, the latter's beautiful thin eyebrows were slightly frowned.Sure enough, the kid must be hiding something from him.

Atobe really felt that there was definitely something wrong with his cousin. He thought about it for a while, and tried to say: "Tomei, are you...are you in a relationship?"

"Eh?!" Toname's reaction to this was particularly strong, her eyes widened in astonishment, "No...no."

She didn't even realize that her voice was obviously raised when answering this question, which is a typical manifestation of guilty conscience.

Atobe's tone sank, "What? Was I right?"

"What the hell...how is it possible!"

But it is indeed as Atobe said, if she really has nothing to hide, there is no need to react violently to unwarranted words.

However, it is impossible for her to say that she fell in love with her cousin's good friend (?) called Akashi ten years ago, right?

"Ah? Is that so?" Atobe supported his chin and looked at Dongmei meaningfully.

"Cousin, what do you mean by saying that you don't believe me at all!"

Seeing that his cousin had a vague tendency to explode, Atobe chose not to confront the other party here, and turned to another person: "The other party is the child named Saijo?"

"what?"

"Didn't you visit him in the hospital a few days ago? You skipped class."

Skipping class is indeed a jaw-dropping thing for honor student Tona Koga.But Tomina went to see Eita Saijo just because he wanted to know if this person who had a connection with him ten years ago knew something different!

"How could it be him!" Tomei shook his head violently, throwing away his imagination about Eita's romantic partner...it's terrible.

Dongmei felt that it was impossible to argue, and there was...

"Cousin, why do you know so much?" She knew exactly where she skipped class and who she met.

"That's the guardian's responsibility."

"Oh? Really? Isn't it gossip?"

"Tsk, my uncle is just fulfilling his guardian's responsibility by the way."

Tomei knew that his cousin was too arrogant, and wanted to tease him a few more words as a counterattack for being regarded as adulterous in his every move, but it was a pity that the car had already arrived at Akashi's house in a blink of an eye, and it was firmly parked at the door.

The mood that was still relaxed just now tensed up again. In the enclosed space, Tomei seemed to have heard his own heartbeat that was getting faster and faster.

Atobe had already opened the car door and went down, looking down at his cousin who blushed as if she was holding her breath.

Atobe: ...that idiot.

It was so obvious that I thought I was covering it up well.

After recovering from his cousin's voice, Tomei got out of the car in a panic.By the way, through the reflection of himself in the car window, he sorted out his appearance without any mistakes.

Atobe watched Tomei's every move, and couldn't help frowning: This silly kid didn't pay so much attention to his image when he saw me before.

Just as Tomei was thinking about what he should say when he saw Akashi later, the door opened quietly, and it was Akashi himself who came out to greet him.

Akashi was wearing a gray formal suit that set off his slender and upright figure, but his gentle face showed a slight indifference.

Facing Atobe, Akashi nodded in greeting, and then, his red eyes turned to Tona who was standing beside Atobe.He also didn't speak, just nodded his head as a salute.

Akashi's eyes were as expressionless as ever, as if Tomei was just an insignificant person.

Dong Ming saw this look, and it was not without feeling that he was disappointed.But so what, she is really not an important role for Akashi now.

She sighed, and assumed a dignified gesture without losing courtesy.Bowed his head, bowed his body, and saluted Akashi: "Good day, Akashi... sir."
