[Comprehensive] Reasons for not being in love

The meeting of the two young business elites Atobe and Akashi was not a business negotiation without emotion.After all, the two are old friends who have known each other for many years, and they have lost a lot of polite scenes.

Tomei thanked Akashi earnestly and politely, but Akashi only replied in a tepid way that she should not worry about it.He said that after all, he was helping Atobe's younger sister, and it was just a matter of little effort.

This is pure concern for his friend's sister, but Toname feels a little chilled when he hears it.But the fact is exactly like this, there is no relationship between Akashi and Koga Tona beyond "friend sister".

The etiquette of thanking him ends here. In fact, Atobe brought Tona to Akashi. In addition to asking his cousin to thank him, he simply wanted to see this friend who is as capable as himself. How is it going.

Akashi himself doesn't seem to care much about the troublesome thing about Akashi.But Atobe doesn't think that way anymore, yes, he does have a little bit of the mentality of watching a good show.

Of course, it is easy for Atobe's friend Akashi who knows everything about him to see through this thought.The red-haired young man with a gentle appearance just raised his eyebrows indifferently, and asked in a calm tone: "What? Atobe, are you free enough to have time to pay attention to my gossip?"

Seeing his thoughts, Atobe still smiled calmly, raised his hand and casually brushed the broken hair on his forehead, "I heard that the one from the Ichinomiya family is a bit troublesome."

Akashi nodded, his attitude was still lukewarm, "It's a bit troublesome."

"I heard that you and her are engaged?"

That troublesome thing was the marriage between the Akashi family and the Ichinomiya family.

"Oh? Where did you hear so much?"

Akashi's appearance of having nothing to do with himself did not show the reaction Atobe wanted to see at all.A good show is impossible to watch, although Atobe also expected that Akashi would react like this.So, he had no choice but to add tepidly: "This is my concern for you as a close friend."

In response, Akashi snorted coolly and said, "It's not up to other people to control my marriage."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something again, squinted his eyes and looked at Atobu for half a second, and then continued: "Are you here in advance to learn from me what will happen in the future?"

The implication is that Atobe may encounter the same situation as him in the future, and suddenly be inexplicably arranged for a fiancée who he has no feelings for at all.

Atobu twitched his eyebrows when he heard the words, and snorted dissatisfiedly, "Hmph, I'm not so inferior."

The words between these two equally powerful people are full of mutual hatred, and Dong Ming, who is sitting on the side, can't help but feel embarrassed.In addition to embarrassment, the content of the conversation between her cousin and Akashi also made her terribly concerned.

Of course, Tomei grasped the point of the conversation—that Ichinomiya Yuki was Akashi's fiancée.

That's right, in this time and space, she is just Koga Tona who has nothing to do with Akashi Seijuro.

Thinking of all the things between Fujii Kaori and Akashi ten years ago but now nothingness like a bubble, Tona's chest felt unwilling and sour.So, she clenched the teacup in her hand and poured herself a big gulp of freshly brewed Ceylon black tea, which naturally burned her mouth.

"Pfft...so hot!"

The conversation between Atobe and Akashi was interrupted just like that, and both of them looked in Tona's direction at the same time.

Knowing that he was impolite, Tomei bowed his head and apologized in a low voice.

After confirming that Tomina was not burned, Atobe, as an older brother who cared about his younger sister, knew that Tomina would not be able to sleep at night when he was exposed to refreshing things.Such as coffee, such as tea.But that's not the point. Tomei has always paid great attention to this, so he would never take the initiative to drink tea by himself.

Thinking back to the road from Akashi's house, his always well-behaved sister's abnormal behavior was definitely due to something on her mind, and the uncle had already seen it.

But my sister refused to speak out, and neither did Atobe.In addition to the question about love that was mentioned in the car earlier, Atobe naturally thought of Yokoyama, whom Tomei had only mentioned a word to him.If the latter is what bothers my sister, he can help.

Atobe frowned and quickly thought about all the possibilities, and finally asked lightly, "Tomei, why do you want to drink tea?" Rou's tone was full of worry and concern.

"Ah? Uh...um..." Tona faltered and touched his lips with the back of his hand, and didn't even bother to think about perfunctory words.She was so distracted that she completely forgot that she was holding black tea in her hand.

Akashi's gaze also fell on Tomei, and his red eyes just stared at him calmly.

Can't she drink tea too?Unknowingly, some vague fragments in his mind were evoked, and Akashi frowned slightly.Tomei's habits and facial expressions made Akashi feel familiar, although he hadn't had contact with Tomei a few times at all.

Ever since Akashi had a formal meeting with Tomei for the first time since Teiguang, he felt that there must be something related to this girl in his memory fragments.

Akashi pondered for a while, it really is an illusion, right?The other party is just Atobe's cousin.

"Are you okay?" Akashi, the host, also opened his mouth, caring politely.

Hearing this, Tomina was slightly taken aback, raised his head and quickly looked back at Akashi's red eyes, and immediately looked away again.She shook her head and said in a low voice, "Well... I'm fine."

"You look bad, I'll ask the housekeeper to take you down to rest."

The command-style speech is so overbearing that there is no room for refusal at all.

After Akashi finished speaking like this, he didn't look at Tomei's expression again, and waved to call the housekeeper, asking the latter to lead the girl to rest.

Atobe also acquiesced in Akashi's approach, and he still wanted to ask Akashi about Yokoyama, and he didn't want Tona to know about what he wanted to do to help, not to mention that Tona's face was really bad.

Seeing his younger sister's weak and haggard appearance, Atobe inevitably regretted that he shouldn't have brought out his younger sister who had just recovered from a serious illness.

Although he was terribly worried, Atobe didn't say any more concerned words to Tomei, and just watched the girl leave the reception room with the housekeeper of the Akashi family.

Naturally, Akashi saw all of these things, and it was unexpected that Atobe, who was always proud and narcissistic, turned out to be his cousin.I'm afraid no one will believe this, right?

Akashi pretended not to see Atobe's worried expression, and invited Atobe to take a seat again.The two began to sit face to face in a serious manner again, drinking tea, and talking back and forth without topics.

Tomei followed the butler along the way, she was out of shape, her mind was filled with Akashi, just like Sara once said to her, the IQ of a girl in love is about zero.The ridiculous thing is that she is now back to the state of silent unrequited love.

There was no heating in the corridor, and Toname hugged her arms and rubbed them up and down. In fact, it wasn't that exaggeratedly cold, it was just that she was naturally afraid of the cold.

After walking a certain distance, Tomei remembered that his coat was still left in the reception room.So she went around again, and then she walked to the door, the conversation between her cousin and Akashi in the reception room made her stop.

"Are you really going to marry the one from the Ichinomiya family?" This is Atobe's question.

"It's just marriage, the old man will be happy." Akashi's answer was casual.

Atobe sneered, "Is this what you said about your marriage not being controlled by others?"

"It's just a formality, not to mention there is no suitable partner now, right? The Ichinomiya family is a good choice." A good business choice, not a marriage.

"What about after that?"

"Just get married, it's not difficult to leave."

"Is this your attitude?"

"how?"

Atobe paused for a few seconds, and finally shook his head with a grin, "It's nothing, your business has nothing to do with me."

Akashi's tone was terribly indifferent, such a Akashi, it feels like he's not him at all...

Dong Ming felt chills again when he heard that, the person said domineeringly a moment ago that no one could control him, but why did he have such an attitude towards marriage?Does he not like others at all?Then what are his feelings for Fujii Kaori?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Akashi did not say anything about "like" to Fujii Kaori, but just blindly took the latter as his own, and strongly declared that the other party belonged to him.Could it be, is it really just a simple desire to possess|possess?

Tomei's knock on the door interrupted the conversation in the reception room. After she pushed the door open, Atobe and Akashi naturally looked at her.

"Well... I forgot to take my coat, I'll come back and get it."

She twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and pretended that she hadn't heard anything, and walked straight to the coat rack where her coat was hanging.

Even Tomei herself didn't know if she was influenced by the words Akashi said, just a few short steps away, Akashi's indifferent and ruthless voice kept echoing in her mind.

It's all about getting married, and it's not difficult to leave.

To say something like this... He must not be in love with someone, right?

Thinking of this, Dong Ming felt dizzy in his brain, and his vision began to turn gray.She blinked hard to try to wake herself up, but it seemed that she had stepped on cotton, and the coat rack seemed to be getting further and further away from her.

Finally, after taking a few soft steps, he fell straight to the ground in front of Atobe and Akashi.

The last thing Tomei heard was his cousin's worried call.
