Chapter 66 Return
After Yukimura left the United States, Jia stayed at school almost every day. Now that communication equipment has developed rapidly, he can receive news from different people every day.
Ryota: Jia~ I have entered the first army, but Akashi is super scary when he is training.
Jia: Because you didn't fulfill the required [-] points?
Ryota: How do you know (+﹏+)~
Jia: ==Xiao Zheng told me
Ryota: ...
Senior Fuji: I saw on the Internet that your research results have won awards, congratulations~
Jia: Thank you Fuji-senpai QVQ
Longma: I won the competition today, and the first place in the regional competition entered the national competition.
Jia: Congratulations, next time you come to the United States, let's compete.
Ryoma: I will come back during the summer vacation.
After Jia sent the text message, his hands paused for a moment, and he was inexplicably floating with Kise...
The date of summer vacation is getting closer and closer, but the past few days have been very busy, and Ryoma's words were temporarily put aside, but when the project came to the final stage, they finally relaxed a little.
Noel also suggested that after this time, we should go out and have a good time together. After all, this semester is basically spent here, and Jia originally agreed, but he didn't go because of temporary business.
"Is there any event today?" Kyroll drank the mellow coffee, glanced at Jia who was replying to the text message, and after receiving Noel's reply, Jia nodded: "But it doesn't matter if you stay here alone?"
Jia pretended to be puzzled and said, but he also saw Carol clenched the cup slightly, obviously a little upset, after all, he finally came to the United States: "Of course I'm fine."
And Jia Zao knew his temper: "Okay, I have already told my classmates that I have important things to do in the past few days, and I will not participate in this activity, and I will probably lie in bed for several hours after climbing the mountain one day. God doesn't know."
"Mountain climbing is so dangerous. As the heir to the royal family, you must not participate in these activities without ensuring safety." Carol educated Jia very seriously, but from his tone, it could be heard that he wanted to stay with Jia at home. He was happy, and Smith, who took out the snacks from the kitchen, also handed the drink to Jia: "His Royal Highness the Little Prince is also planning to return to England this time, and His Royal Highness will not have to worry about not being able to see His Highness the Little Prince in the future."
"I'm not worried." Carol retorted dissatisfiedly, but he was still very happy about the news that Jia would not stay in the United States in the future, and he pretended to be calm, "But it's okay to go back to the UK, and the royal family will not Arrange a new career plan for you, and you can slowly adapt to it for a period of time before you become an adult."
Jia smiled. Unlike Noel, he already knew that he would not stay in a research institute or school in the United States to continue scientific research. As Luo Er said, he will accept the arrangement of the royal family in the future, and this is the responsibility he will bear when he returns from the beginning.
During the summer vacation, he met Ryoma for a very short time, only half a day.
On the third day after Ryoma left, he packed up his luggage and returned to the UK. The graduation certificate had arrived in his hands yesterday. Noel continued to stay in school to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, and Jia had already returned to the UK with Kyroll by plane.
When he was very young, he also thought that he would be like those physicists. At that time, he would secretly flip through related books in the room. During that time, Carol’s discipline was very strict, and he was also afraid of These books will be reprimanded as boring things, so I will only take them out and read them carefully when I am alone.
This sentence is also a bit strange to say, in this house, he is basically alone and has no friends, but there are still countless pairs of eyes staring at your words and deeds. All the bacteria that do not meet the nobility are found.
And the nobles in people's eyes live in this kind of disguise, which is really ridiculous sometimes.
Carol is still the perfect man in people's eyes now, but as Jia grows up, this hungrily attention is also given to him a little bit, maybe they already know that Jia's title will not be shaken, so they no longer want to become The wife of the first heir, after all, Carol has not been too close to anyone in the past few years, which also makes people wonder if she is gay?
So Jia has become a favorite in the eyes of the nobles...
In the next two years, because he was too young to accept the royal family's career planning, he was free, but by chance, he received a courier from Japan.
It was a fashion magazine, and the tall and straight man on the cover was actually Kise, which really surprised Jia. The simple and exquisite V-neck sweater, spliced with a handsome shirt collar, put him on The youthful and vigorous sharpness is perfectly displayed.
"I didn't expect him to be a model." Jia chuckled and flipped through the magazine in his hand. Since he was on the cover, it can prove that Kise's strength is absolutely extraordinary, and now this handsome and sunny person like Kise is elegant The beautiful boy is indeed very popular with women.
Jia sat on the sofa and looked at the magazine seriously. He rarely reads fashion magazines, and naturally he didn't know how this company was doing. But for the sake of safety, he still asked Smith to investigate.On the surface, the royal family is paid by the queen, and the queen has reduced the number of members of the royal family who "pay salaries" in recent years. In fact, these have not had much impact on them, because everyone has more or less private property. It is not uncommon for other names to have some shares in many companies.
Even Kyroll himself is the same, and although Jia has not been in touch with this branch yet, eight years ago, when the Queen conferred the duke title on him, he gave him a certain manor in the suburbs, and other property Most of it is managed by Carroll, and all payments made by Smith must be reported to Carroll.
What Jia himself can control is the bonuses he got in school, the remuneration of part-time tutors, and the bonuses he got for scientific research projects, and the investment he and Akashi played together, but he knows nothing about these.In general, he will definitely not be unable to live because of lack of money now.
Smith quickly investigated the entertainment company that Kise belonged to. Jia didn't know much about the entertainment industry, but Smith was more experienced than him in these aspects, so he didn't see any big problems from it.
This also reassured Jia a lot. Smith remembered something and smiled happily: "Your Highness, next week is your birthday, and His Highness will arrange a banquet."
Not every birthday will be celebrated grandly, just because this time is his 16th birthday. Maybe it is the legal age of majority, but in the UK, 16 years old is given more meaning, such as getting married...
So in a sense, it almost became a simple blind date.
It's really a headache...
The 16-year-old Duke, this identity alone is enough to attract many people.
The venue of the banquet was finally set at a certain manor owned by Kyroll. The idle house has been carefully cleaned and decorated, and it has become extraordinarily eye-catching. The entire first floor is as bright as daylight. At first glance, it looks like a social reception. , just an extra layer of elegance and nobility that belongs to the aristocracy.
Not only the aristocrats and friends who are usually close to each other came and went to celebrate, but even the dignitaries of the parliament and business circles attended. It can be seen how grand this banquet is, but if they really know the inside story, they understand that this is a blind date for His Royal Highness the British Prince.
Maybe after becoming the prince's wife, when the prince inherits the throne in the future, then... the next thing is self-evident.
Jia toasted with Carol and the distinguished guests who came, and heard most of them praised his academic success, or happy birthday and other polite words, Jia tried his best to make the expression on his face more calm and elegant, It's just that he hasn't drank for a long time, and now he has downed several glasses of solid wine at once. Jia didn't drink much before, and now his mind is really dizzy.
"Antoine, this is Mrs. Rizal." Carol smiled lightly and introduced a beautiful woman to Jia. The woman with exquisite and elegant makeup smiled and gently shook Jia's hand: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Antoine He is really getting more and more handsome, I wonder if there is anyone he likes now?"
Rizal's blunt words made many people stop their movements and listen to their conversation with their ears pricked up, but even if Jia has someone he likes now, it doesn't mean that he will be able to get married in the future.
"Naturally there is someone I like in my heart." Jia said with a smile, and Carol was also interested, but he had never paid attention to his son's relationship history, and Lisa also smiled complacently: "It's a pity, Lisa I liked Antoine when I was in school, but it’s also good to hang out as friends.”
This Lisa is Mrs. Rizal's daughter. She doesn't hide what she means when she smiles, which is in line with her straightforward personality.
Jia drank a little too much wine, so he greeted Carol and went out to get some air. The temperature outside was a little lower than indoors, which also cleared his drowsy mind. With his hands on the balcony fence, Jia Take a deep breath of fresh air.
He has also thought about it these days. There are still two years before he becomes an adult, and after staying in England for so long, he may be a little bored of Carol.
Or maybe he should go back to Japan to see...
Jia slowly let out a breath, in addition to the dizziness caused by alcohol, there is also confusion about the future.
What kind of future will he have?Will he be like Carol in the future?Will there really be a result between him and Akashi?
All kinds of problems are intertwined, making people unable to make a choice...
"Your Highness, we meet again." Jia turned around in surprise when he heard this familiar voice. The man's facial features were deep, and the way he smiled with the corners of his lips raised gave off a feeling of spring breeze. It was Martin Freeman. , they met once many years ago.
Jia obviously did not expect that Carol would invite him to this banquet. He still remembered that the photo with the other party was still intact and hung in the room. This meeting really surprised Jia.
"Happy birthday." He picked up the wine glass and touched Jia's crisply: "Thank you."
The breeze on the balcony made people a little drunk after drinking, Martin Freeman said with a smile: "I still can't believe that day, His Royal Highness took the initiative to take a photo with me."
"Because your performance is really outstanding." Jia admired sincerely, but the next second her voice subconsciously lowered a little, "and if it's not etiquette to even pursue your favorite actor, then go with your favorite actor." Is it impossible for people to be together as a reality?"
"Prince Palace..."
"You can call me Antoine."
Martin Freeman didn't refuse either, but he was surprised: "I thought Antoine's words just now were just bluffing, but I didn't expect that he really had something in his heart."
"It can be regarded as half-truth and half-false." Jia frowned, smiling, "As a birthday present, can I have a small request?"
"Please say."
"May I give you a hug, Bilbo..."
Martin Freeman was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Of course there is no problem."
As he spoke, he stretched out his arms and hugged Jia. The boy's figure was very slender, which was completely different from Kyroll's tall. He had heard that His Royal Highness was dumb when he was young, but people at that time probably didn't think of it now. He will be the envy of everyone.

On the day of the birthday party, the VIPs naturally brought a lot of rare gifts, but parties similar to blind dates also followed one after another. Except for the one on the first day, Jia, who really couldn't stand the atmosphere, could only politely decline the fact that he was not in good health recently. good.And one day, Jia, who was idle and bored, took advantage of other people's inattention, and left the UK by plane alone. Carol, who discovered this later, didn't let Smith follow him. One's own independent space is required.
"Your Highness, will it be dangerous to let His Royal Highness the little prince stay in Japan alone?" Smith directly expressed his worries, and Carol thought for a while: "You remember to contact Akashi, Antoine is probably going to Japan now, other There is no need to send people to follow."
Smith agreed, but he still couldn't be as calm as Carol in his heart, and His Highness was a little too abnormal this time. If it were before, he would definitely not be the first person to worry.
But compared to Smith's anxiety, Jia, who flew to Japan, sat on the seat and stretched in a relaxed way. This feeling of freedom is really good.Because there are still eight hours before the arrival time, the boy in the blue sweater put on a blindfold, his slightly long and slightly curly hair was pulled aside to reveal his clean forehead, this time he just came here with a simple schoolbag on his back , In order to avoid other people's sight, except for some necessary documents, I didn't even bring out the suitcases. If it is a necessity, I can just buy it when I arrive in Japan.
The author has something to say: update ~ lying dead in bed with a cold today
Today "Return of the Dead" has been updated~ Go check it out~
first battle
Today's weather is very good. Jia, who had a peaceful sleep on the plane, walked out of the airport with her schoolbag on her back, and stretched out her hand to block the bright light outside: "Today's weather is really comfortable."
The warm wind makes people can't help dozing off, which is very suitable for traveling.
Jia pulled out the navigation from his mobile phone, frowned and thought in confusion: "The school closest to the airport should be... Seirin? It seems that I heard that Vulcan is also in that school recently, and the address is... Let's forget it. "
Jia's sense of direction is not very good, so after taking a look at the complicated traffic routes, he decisively gave up the plan of walking. After all, it is very simple to stop a car on the road and take a taxi.
Japan has also changed a bit in the past few years. For example, the doors of taxis open automatically, and the surrounding greenery is more abundant. The field of vision is also wider because of the emerald green color, and even the mood is much better.
After getting out of the car and paying, Jia smiled and thanked the driver uncle. This new school, which was established in recent years, has no settled history, and you can feel the brand new and vigorous atmosphere when you get closer.
Seirin is very lively today. Not long after entering the school, he saw a full crowd, and the noisy voices continued to emerge: "Students, come and take a look at our basketball club. Freshmen will get a free water cup when they join the club. Don't miss this opportunity." Lost will never come again, but each person is limited to one, hey brother, you have taken too much!"
His slogan almost didn't make people burst out laughing, and Jia naturally noticed that the person who was holding a trumpet and shouting desperately from a high place was indeed very energetic.
While Jia was sighing, he was surprised to see the person who had filled out the form with a very drawn expression on his face, and was a little pleasantly surprised: "Vulcan..."
As soon as Jia opened his mouth, he was squeezed and fell to the ground by the people next to him. After hearing the voice, Vulcan turned his head and glanced around, twitching his eyebrows puzzledly: "Why did I hear Jia's voice just now?"
When Jia, who was pushed directly to the ground, finally stood up, he couldn't see Vulcan's figure: "Where did he go?"
Jia tried his best to find the tall boy from the crowd, but in the process of pushing and shoving, he couldn't find any results at all.
When he took out his mobile phone, he found that the screen turned black unexpectedly, and it turned off automatically when it was completely out of power. Place to live first.
Otherwise, you can still call Xiaozheng, today is really a bit unlucky.
Jia, who was carrying the backpack, gasped in pain. Just now, his shoulder was bumped violently. People were busy coming and going, so naturally it didn't matter.
"How can I find a hotel without a mobile phone?" Jia suddenly thought of this even more headaches. In the end, he had no choice but to search for hotels along the street aimlessly. There seemed to be no place to stay in this area. When he landed, a suspicious voice came from behind: "Yukimura?"
Holding the basketball in one hand, Heizi looked in surprise at the person who had been away for three years and appeared in front of him: "When did you come back?"
"I just arrived in Japan today." Jia was obviously relieved to meet someone he knew when he was so at a loss, "It would be even better if you could take me to a nearby hotel."
"hostel?"
After Heizi listened to Jia's explanation, his initial confusion disappeared.
"Akashi-kun seldom stays in Tokyo after graduation, and now he doesn't have a car to go to Kyoto." Kuroko calmly explained to Ka on the way home, "Then Yukimura will stay at my house today. It's not there, so don't be embarrassed."
"Thank you, Heizi." Jia smiled and expressed his gratitude, but he also had some doubts in his heart, "But did Xiaozheng continue to study in Tokyo? I thought you would all choose the same school, after all, you used to play basketball together on the same basketball team Also very good."
Heizi's footsteps paused for a moment, he pursed his lips, his eyes seemed a little lonely: "It may be that everyone pursues different things, after all, we are not like the people we were three years ago."
Jia was a little puzzled, but she didn't ask further, perhaps because of something wrong in Heizi's tone.
Heizi's home is an ordinary Japanese-style small building. His family has gone out for some business these days, and they probably won't be back in a short time, so the house is quiet because only Heizi is left.
"Yukimura is staying in my room temporarily." Heizi simply packed his things, and Jia put the bag on the desk, still a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to bother you, if I had prepared in advance, it wouldn't be like this sorry to bother you."
"Don't worry, because Yukimura helped me a lot before."
It seems that Heizi has never used honorific words to Jia since middle school. Thinking of this, Jia smiled: "Then Tetsuya will also call me Ka in the future, and we can be regarded as friends."
"Yeah." Heizi agreed after thinking for a while, but he thought about what happened three years ago. Later, Jia left Japan suddenly, and he had no chance to meet Jia. Although now is a good time, Heizi suddenly didn't know How do you say, "That..."
Jia, who connected the phone to the power source, heard Heizi's hesitant voice: "What's wrong? Is there anything you can't say?"
"Do you... still like Akashi-kun?"
If it was just a momentary impulse three years ago, then he should sort out his thoughts now, and in his eyes, Ka and Akashi are not suitable, and his desire to control is now a bit scary.
Jia did not expect Heizi to remember this incident. It seems that the scene at that time made him remember deeply. Jia looked at his puzzled eyes, and his mood was not as impetuous as it was three years ago. He was unexpectedly calm and smiled lightly: "I think Tetsu should not read the news much, right?"
"News?" Heizi didn't understand why Jia mentioned this, and replied honestly: "I usually only watch basketball games like the NBA."
Jia also understood, just looked at him: "It doesn't matter whether I like it or not. In other words, even if I don't like Xiaozheng, it won't affect what I want to do, and just because I like him doesn't mean we will be together."
Heizi couldn't figure it out: "I still don't understand."
"You'll know when you meet someone you like."
Jia smiled, then tidied up his things, and Heizi also prepared new toiletries for him,
The puzzled Heizi also had doubts in his heart. When he dug out the news of the last few days from the computer in his study, he couldn't find any other adjectives to express his feeling at the moment besides shock. Jia was actually from England. prince!
The real prince is not a fictional character in fairy tales at all, but from the appearance, except for the deep and delicate sense of mixed blood in the facial features, Jia does not have the arrogance of being a nobleman at all.
"I really can't tell."
It's just that after the shock, he also somewhat understood that even ordinary families might not be able to accept their relationship, let alone people in the royal family.
However, unlike what Heizi thought, Jia’s concern was not this. It was one thing for the royal family not to accept it. After the last blind date banquet, he also knew that he couldn’t continue like this.
Maybe he no longer cares about the royal family three years ago, or maybe he is really not suitable to stay in the circle of nobles, or maybe there are other reasons.
×
The next day, Jia woke up very early, which may also have something to do with sleeping.And Heizi read all the relevant news yesterday, and his sleep time has been reduced a lot, so he also had obvious dark circles when he woke up this morning.
But when he got up and walked out of the room, he unexpectedly smelled an aroma, which was the aroma of fried eggs.
Heizi saw Jia who was calmly making breakfast in the kitchen with a shovel in an orderly manner, and Jia, who was concentrating, did not notice Heizi's arrival, and was fully preparing the food with all his heart.
"Is this edible?"
Jia was startled by the sudden sound, and Heizi appeared almost silently. Fortunately, he didn't shake his hands so much that he threw the pot away.
Curiously, Heizi poked the tender egg with a fork, expressing his shock: "I didn't expect you to be able to cook, don't you have servants?"
"Servants also have time off."
Hearing the surprise in Heizi's plain tone, Jia put the sliced meat in the pot on a plate, shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "Sometimes a person learns to make some by himself, and I see that there are still some ingredients in the refrigerator, so I put them in by the way. The lunch box is also ready."
After speaking, he handed the packed lunch box to Heizi. Heizi, who only ate bread at school these days, also happily accepted the rare dinner. I have to say that Jia’s craftsmanship is very good. With a fried aroma, the freshly baked toast is also very soft.
The bento at noon is considered the most delicious meal he has had in the past few days, and after knowing that he ate bread every meal, Ka also said that he would stay here temporarily during this period, so he did not inform Akashi of his return.
Heizi was in a good mood, but this good mood almost disappeared when he met another person in the basketball team.
"Little Heizi~ I'm here to play with you~" The hormones emitted by Kise, who is wearing the Haichang school uniform, naturally attracted many people, which made the basketball club very lively today. Heizi glanced at that The luminous body on the side, but Kise was quite popular when he was in Teiko, and the current situation is not so surprising.
"Don't be so cold." Kise put his arms around Heizi's neck, saying "we have a very good relationship", and smiled brightly: "Obviously we were all bullied by Akashi in Teiko."
Heizi shook off his hand directly: "I was not bullied."
"Little Heizi, you hurt me too much by saying that." Kise wiped away tears as he spoke, but cheered up in the next second, "Rather than staying in this kind of basketball club with little strength and reputation, Xiao Heizi might as well be with you." I went to Haichang together, and it happened that we could continue to play basketball as before, and then kill Akashi and the others one by one.”
The corners of Aida Reiko's mouth twitched as she listened to Kise's whimsical words. At the beginning, her favorability, which had risen because of Kise's appearance, instantly dropped to a negative value, and black air radiated: "What is strength and fame, this damn bastard."
"calm!"
When Vulcan heard that Kise was a member of the "Generation of Miracles", he directly launched a challenge without thinking, but he was made even more excited by Kise's perfect imitation. Such a person is worth defeating.
The perfect shot made the girls around scream again. Obviously, they are all loyal fans of Kise, as can be seen from the photobook in each hand.
"So I said—" Kise spun the basketball handsomely, and then threw it directly to Heizi, with a dazzling smile on his lips: "Xiao Heizi and I are the perfect partners, and no one else is important."
Heizi raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
Huang Lai thought that he was a little relieved, and immediately nodded without hesitation: "Of course."
Heizi who got the answer also took out his mobile phone and sent a text message, Huang Lai came over strangely: "Little Heizi, who are you texting? It can't be Xiao Qingfeng, right?"
"No." Heizi shook his head, then seeing Kise heaved a sigh of relief, "I just told Jia not to go to Haichang, the others are not important anyway."
"So that's the case." Kise nodded reflexively, but after thinking about it briefly, he also realized that something was wrong, as if he didn't notice anything, "Wait!"
Heizi saw that Kise's expression changed several times in an instant, and finally froze in disbelief: "Little Heizi, did you mention 'Ka' just now? He has already returned to Japan?"
And the Vulcan on the other side frowned, is it just the same name?

Akashi was in training when he received the call from Smith.
The other team members suddenly sensed a change in the atmosphere around them, and they turned their gazes to the smiling Akashi: "I always feel that something is wrong with the captain today, and it seems to have become more... scary."
"Today's training ends early."
The team members holding the basketball watched Akashi put on a coat and walked out of the basketball court in a little dumbfounded, their faces were a little ugly along the way.
——That guy actually stayed in Tokyo for so many days without saying a word.
He walked out of school and took a private car directly to Tokyo along the expressway. Naturally, the speed was much faster than usual, but when he was in the car, he kept calling Jia's number, but unexpectedly there was no answer.
Here, Jia, who was studying how to get to Kyoto, sent a text message to Heizi and got on the bus. As Jia originally expected, he arrived at Luoshan before five o'clock, and the training of the basketball team was not over at this point.
When Jia found the basketball court, there were only a few scattered people inside. They noticed the unfamiliar faces, stopped their movements and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Sorry, I'm looking for someone. Is Akashi a member of the basketball club? I'm his friend."
They looked at each other: "The captain has gone home."
home?
Confused, Ka expressed his gratitude and walked out of the basketball court, but he took out his mobile phone and saw countless missed calls, not only Akashi, but also Kuroko, Kise and Kagami.
He immediately called Akashi, and it took a while to connect. Before Jia could speak, Akashi came with a slightly displeased voice: "Where are you? Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"
"I..." Jia didn't know how to answer, although he wanted to say that this was a surprise, but Akashi seemed very angry now, and his voice lowered unconsciously, "Kyoto, I originally wanted to go to Luo Shan looked for you, but they said you had gone back."
Akashi was unexpectedly silent. Jia thought he was angry and a little anxious, and Akashi's tone became helpless: "You wait for me on the basketball court, don't run around."
He knew very well that Jia had no sense of direction, and it would take a long time to find him if he walked around casually. It was not that similar things had never happened before.
But now we can only ask the driver to turn around immediately. When he returned to Luoshan, it was already six o'clock, the sky was dark, and almost all the people in the school had left.
When Akashi ran to the basketball court, Ka was sitting on the stone steps with his mobile phone in his hand. After waiting outside for almost an hour, he also felt a little cold, and when he was about to move his hands, he stopped unexpectedly.
"Is it cold?" Ka, who heard the voice, raised his head, and Akashi just stood a few steps away from him. The lights on the campus were also turned on at night, and the reflected light carried an indescribable warmth. The faces seem to overlap with those of the teenagers who came looking for him years ago.
In fact, Akashi's temper is not very good, and the number of times they quarreled because of disputes in the past few years is not too small, but most of them are not the first to compromise.
Standing up holding Akashi's extended hand, it was so warm that people clenched it a little bit, Jia smiled: "No."
The author has something to say: update~
Ryota: Jia~ I have entered the first army, but Akashi is super scary when he is training.
Jia: Because you didn't fulfill the required [-] points?
Ryota: How do you know (+﹏+)~
Jia: ==Xiao Zheng told me
Ryota: ...
Senior Fuji: I saw on the Internet that your research results have won awards, congratulations~
Jia: Thank you Fuji-senpai QVQ
Longma: I won the competition today, and the first place in the regional competition entered the national competition.
Jia: Congratulations, next time you come to the United States, let's compete.
Ryoma: I will come back during the summer vacation.
After Jia sent the text message, his hands paused for a moment, and he was inexplicably floating with Kise...
The date of summer vacation is getting closer and closer, but the past few days have been very busy, and Ryoma's words were temporarily put aside, but when the project came to the final stage, they finally relaxed a little.
Noel also suggested that after this time, we should go out and have a good time together. After all, this semester is basically spent here, and Jia originally agreed, but he didn't go because of temporary business.
"Is there any event today?" Kyroll drank the mellow coffee, glanced at Jia who was replying to the text message, and after receiving Noel's reply, Jia nodded: "But it doesn't matter if you stay here alone?"
Jia pretended to be puzzled and said, but he also saw Carol clenched the cup slightly, obviously a little upset, after all, he finally came to the United States: "Of course I'm fine."
And Jia Zao knew his temper: "Okay, I have already told my classmates that I have important things to do in the past few days, and I will not participate in this activity, and I will probably lie in bed for several hours after climbing the mountain one day. God doesn't know."
"Mountain climbing is so dangerous. As the heir to the royal family, you must not participate in these activities without ensuring safety." Carol educated Jia very seriously, but from his tone, it could be heard that he wanted to stay with Jia at home. He was happy, and Smith, who took out the snacks from the kitchen, also handed the drink to Jia: "His Royal Highness the Little Prince is also planning to return to England this time, and His Royal Highness will not have to worry about not being able to see His Highness the Little Prince in the future."
"I'm not worried." Carol retorted dissatisfiedly, but he was still very happy about the news that Jia would not stay in the United States in the future, and he pretended to be calm, "But it's okay to go back to the UK, and the royal family will not Arrange a new career plan for you, and you can slowly adapt to it for a period of time before you become an adult."
Jia smiled. Unlike Noel, he already knew that he would not stay in a research institute or school in the United States to continue scientific research. As Luo Er said, he will accept the arrangement of the royal family in the future, and this is the responsibility he will bear when he returns from the beginning.
During the summer vacation, he met Ryoma for a very short time, only half a day.
On the third day after Ryoma left, he packed up his luggage and returned to the UK. The graduation certificate had arrived in his hands yesterday. Noel continued to stay in school to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, and Jia had already returned to the UK with Kyroll by plane.
When he was very young, he also thought that he would be like those physicists. At that time, he would secretly flip through related books in the room. During that time, Carol’s discipline was very strict, and he was also afraid of These books will be reprimanded as boring things, so I will only take them out and read them carefully when I am alone.
This sentence is also a bit strange to say, in this house, he is basically alone and has no friends, but there are still countless pairs of eyes staring at your words and deeds. All the bacteria that do not meet the nobility are found.
And the nobles in people's eyes live in this kind of disguise, which is really ridiculous sometimes.
Carol is still the perfect man in people's eyes now, but as Jia grows up, this hungrily attention is also given to him a little bit, maybe they already know that Jia's title will not be shaken, so they no longer want to become The wife of the first heir, after all, Carol has not been too close to anyone in the past few years, which also makes people wonder if she is gay?
So Jia has become a favorite in the eyes of the nobles...
In the next two years, because he was too young to accept the royal family's career planning, he was free, but by chance, he received a courier from Japan.
It was a fashion magazine, and the tall and straight man on the cover was actually Kise, which really surprised Jia. The simple and exquisite V-neck sweater, spliced with a handsome shirt collar, put him on The youthful and vigorous sharpness is perfectly displayed.
"I didn't expect him to be a model." Jia chuckled and flipped through the magazine in his hand. Since he was on the cover, it can prove that Kise's strength is absolutely extraordinary, and now this handsome and sunny person like Kise is elegant The beautiful boy is indeed very popular with women.
Jia sat on the sofa and looked at the magazine seriously. He rarely reads fashion magazines, and naturally he didn't know how this company was doing. But for the sake of safety, he still asked Smith to investigate.On the surface, the royal family is paid by the queen, and the queen has reduced the number of members of the royal family who "pay salaries" in recent years. In fact, these have not had much impact on them, because everyone has more or less private property. It is not uncommon for other names to have some shares in many companies.
Even Kyroll himself is the same, and although Jia has not been in touch with this branch yet, eight years ago, when the Queen conferred the duke title on him, he gave him a certain manor in the suburbs, and other property Most of it is managed by Carroll, and all payments made by Smith must be reported to Carroll.
What Jia himself can control is the bonuses he got in school, the remuneration of part-time tutors, and the bonuses he got for scientific research projects, and the investment he and Akashi played together, but he knows nothing about these.In general, he will definitely not be unable to live because of lack of money now.
Smith quickly investigated the entertainment company that Kise belonged to. Jia didn't know much about the entertainment industry, but Smith was more experienced than him in these aspects, so he didn't see any big problems from it.
This also reassured Jia a lot. Smith remembered something and smiled happily: "Your Highness, next week is your birthday, and His Highness will arrange a banquet."
Not every birthday will be celebrated grandly, just because this time is his 16th birthday. Maybe it is the legal age of majority, but in the UK, 16 years old is given more meaning, such as getting married...
So in a sense, it almost became a simple blind date.
It's really a headache...
The 16-year-old Duke, this identity alone is enough to attract many people.
The venue of the banquet was finally set at a certain manor owned by Kyroll. The idle house has been carefully cleaned and decorated, and it has become extraordinarily eye-catching. The entire first floor is as bright as daylight. At first glance, it looks like a social reception. , just an extra layer of elegance and nobility that belongs to the aristocracy.
Not only the aristocrats and friends who are usually close to each other came and went to celebrate, but even the dignitaries of the parliament and business circles attended. It can be seen how grand this banquet is, but if they really know the inside story, they understand that this is a blind date for His Royal Highness the British Prince.
Maybe after becoming the prince's wife, when the prince inherits the throne in the future, then... the next thing is self-evident.
Jia toasted with Carol and the distinguished guests who came, and heard most of them praised his academic success, or happy birthday and other polite words, Jia tried his best to make the expression on his face more calm and elegant, It's just that he hasn't drank for a long time, and now he has downed several glasses of solid wine at once. Jia didn't drink much before, and now his mind is really dizzy.
"Antoine, this is Mrs. Rizal." Carol smiled lightly and introduced a beautiful woman to Jia. The woman with exquisite and elegant makeup smiled and gently shook Jia's hand: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Antoine He is really getting more and more handsome, I wonder if there is anyone he likes now?"
Rizal's blunt words made many people stop their movements and listen to their conversation with their ears pricked up, but even if Jia has someone he likes now, it doesn't mean that he will be able to get married in the future.
"Naturally there is someone I like in my heart." Jia said with a smile, and Carol was also interested, but he had never paid attention to his son's relationship history, and Lisa also smiled complacently: "It's a pity, Lisa I liked Antoine when I was in school, but it’s also good to hang out as friends.”
This Lisa is Mrs. Rizal's daughter. She doesn't hide what she means when she smiles, which is in line with her straightforward personality.
Jia drank a little too much wine, so he greeted Carol and went out to get some air. The temperature outside was a little lower than indoors, which also cleared his drowsy mind. With his hands on the balcony fence, Jia Take a deep breath of fresh air.
He has also thought about it these days. There are still two years before he becomes an adult, and after staying in England for so long, he may be a little bored of Carol.
Or maybe he should go back to Japan to see...
Jia slowly let out a breath, in addition to the dizziness caused by alcohol, there is also confusion about the future.
What kind of future will he have?Will he be like Carol in the future?Will there really be a result between him and Akashi?
All kinds of problems are intertwined, making people unable to make a choice...
"Your Highness, we meet again." Jia turned around in surprise when he heard this familiar voice. The man's facial features were deep, and the way he smiled with the corners of his lips raised gave off a feeling of spring breeze. It was Martin Freeman. , they met once many years ago.
Jia obviously did not expect that Carol would invite him to this banquet. He still remembered that the photo with the other party was still intact and hung in the room. This meeting really surprised Jia.
"Happy birthday." He picked up the wine glass and touched Jia's crisply: "Thank you."
The breeze on the balcony made people a little drunk after drinking, Martin Freeman said with a smile: "I still can't believe that day, His Royal Highness took the initiative to take a photo with me."
"Because your performance is really outstanding." Jia admired sincerely, but the next second her voice subconsciously lowered a little, "and if it's not etiquette to even pursue your favorite actor, then go with your favorite actor." Is it impossible for people to be together as a reality?"
"Prince Palace..."
"You can call me Antoine."
Martin Freeman didn't refuse either, but he was surprised: "I thought Antoine's words just now were just bluffing, but I didn't expect that he really had something in his heart."
"It can be regarded as half-truth and half-false." Jia frowned, smiling, "As a birthday present, can I have a small request?"
"Please say."
"May I give you a hug, Bilbo..."
Martin Freeman was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Of course there is no problem."
As he spoke, he stretched out his arms and hugged Jia. The boy's figure was very slender, which was completely different from Kyroll's tall. He had heard that His Royal Highness was dumb when he was young, but people at that time probably didn't think of it now. He will be the envy of everyone.

On the day of the birthday party, the VIPs naturally brought a lot of rare gifts, but parties similar to blind dates also followed one after another. Except for the one on the first day, Jia, who really couldn't stand the atmosphere, could only politely decline the fact that he was not in good health recently. good.And one day, Jia, who was idle and bored, took advantage of other people's inattention, and left the UK by plane alone. Carol, who discovered this later, didn't let Smith follow him. One's own independent space is required.
"Your Highness, will it be dangerous to let His Royal Highness the little prince stay in Japan alone?" Smith directly expressed his worries, and Carol thought for a while: "You remember to contact Akashi, Antoine is probably going to Japan now, other There is no need to send people to follow."
Smith agreed, but he still couldn't be as calm as Carol in his heart, and His Highness was a little too abnormal this time. If it were before, he would definitely not be the first person to worry.
But compared to Smith's anxiety, Jia, who flew to Japan, sat on the seat and stretched in a relaxed way. This feeling of freedom is really good.Because there are still eight hours before the arrival time, the boy in the blue sweater put on a blindfold, his slightly long and slightly curly hair was pulled aside to reveal his clean forehead, this time he just came here with a simple schoolbag on his back , In order to avoid other people's sight, except for some necessary documents, I didn't even bring out the suitcases. If it is a necessity, I can just buy it when I arrive in Japan.

first battle
Today's weather is very good. Jia, who had a peaceful sleep on the plane, walked out of the airport with her schoolbag on her back, and stretched out her hand to block the bright light outside: "Today's weather is really comfortable."
The warm wind makes people can't help dozing off, which is very suitable for traveling.
Jia pulled out the navigation from his mobile phone, frowned and thought in confusion: "The school closest to the airport should be... Seirin? It seems that I heard that Vulcan is also in that school recently, and the address is... Let's forget it. "
Jia's sense of direction is not very good, so after taking a look at the complicated traffic routes, he decisively gave up the plan of walking. After all, it is very simple to stop a car on the road and take a taxi.
Japan has also changed a bit in the past few years. For example, the doors of taxis open automatically, and the surrounding greenery is more abundant. The field of vision is also wider because of the emerald green color, and even the mood is much better.
After getting out of the car and paying, Jia smiled and thanked the driver uncle. This new school, which was established in recent years, has no settled history, and you can feel the brand new and vigorous atmosphere when you get closer.
Seirin is very lively today. Not long after entering the school, he saw a full crowd, and the noisy voices continued to emerge: "Students, come and take a look at our basketball club. Freshmen will get a free water cup when they join the club. Don't miss this opportunity." Lost will never come again, but each person is limited to one, hey brother, you have taken too much!"
His slogan almost didn't make people burst out laughing, and Jia naturally noticed that the person who was holding a trumpet and shouting desperately from a high place was indeed very energetic.
While Jia was sighing, he was surprised to see the person who had filled out the form with a very drawn expression on his face, and was a little pleasantly surprised: "Vulcan..."
As soon as Jia opened his mouth, he was squeezed and fell to the ground by the people next to him. After hearing the voice, Vulcan turned his head and glanced around, twitching his eyebrows puzzledly: "Why did I hear Jia's voice just now?"
When Jia, who was pushed directly to the ground, finally stood up, he couldn't see Vulcan's figure: "Where did he go?"
Jia tried his best to find the tall boy from the crowd, but in the process of pushing and shoving, he couldn't find any results at all.
When he took out his mobile phone, he found that the screen turned black unexpectedly, and it turned off automatically when it was completely out of power. Place to live first.
Otherwise, you can still call Xiaozheng, today is really a bit unlucky.
Jia, who was carrying the backpack, gasped in pain. Just now, his shoulder was bumped violently. People were busy coming and going, so naturally it didn't matter.
"How can I find a hotel without a mobile phone?" Jia suddenly thought of this even more headaches. In the end, he had no choice but to search for hotels along the street aimlessly. There seemed to be no place to stay in this area. When he landed, a suspicious voice came from behind: "Yukimura?"
Holding the basketball in one hand, Heizi looked in surprise at the person who had been away for three years and appeared in front of him: "When did you come back?"
"I just arrived in Japan today." Jia was obviously relieved to meet someone he knew when he was so at a loss, "It would be even better if you could take me to a nearby hotel."
"hostel?"
After Heizi listened to Jia's explanation, his initial confusion disappeared.
"Akashi-kun seldom stays in Tokyo after graduation, and now he doesn't have a car to go to Kyoto." Kuroko calmly explained to Ka on the way home, "Then Yukimura will stay at my house today. It's not there, so don't be embarrassed."
"Thank you, Heizi." Jia smiled and expressed his gratitude, but he also had some doubts in his heart, "But did Xiaozheng continue to study in Tokyo? I thought you would all choose the same school, after all, you used to play basketball together on the same basketball team Also very good."
Heizi's footsteps paused for a moment, he pursed his lips, his eyes seemed a little lonely: "It may be that everyone pursues different things, after all, we are not like the people we were three years ago."
Jia was a little puzzled, but she didn't ask further, perhaps because of something wrong in Heizi's tone.
Heizi's home is an ordinary Japanese-style small building. His family has gone out for some business these days, and they probably won't be back in a short time, so the house is quiet because only Heizi is left.
"Yukimura is staying in my room temporarily." Heizi simply packed his things, and Jia put the bag on the desk, still a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to bother you, if I had prepared in advance, it wouldn't be like this sorry to bother you."
"Don't worry, because Yukimura helped me a lot before."
It seems that Heizi has never used honorific words to Jia since middle school. Thinking of this, Jia smiled: "Then Tetsuya will also call me Ka in the future, and we can be regarded as friends."
"Yeah." Heizi agreed after thinking for a while, but he thought about what happened three years ago. Later, Jia left Japan suddenly, and he had no chance to meet Jia. Although now is a good time, Heizi suddenly didn't know How do you say, "That..."
Jia, who connected the phone to the power source, heard Heizi's hesitant voice: "What's wrong? Is there anything you can't say?"
"Do you... still like Akashi-kun?"
If it was just a momentary impulse three years ago, then he should sort out his thoughts now, and in his eyes, Ka and Akashi are not suitable, and his desire to control is now a bit scary.
Jia did not expect Heizi to remember this incident. It seems that the scene at that time made him remember deeply. Jia looked at his puzzled eyes, and his mood was not as impetuous as it was three years ago. He was unexpectedly calm and smiled lightly: "I think Tetsu should not read the news much, right?"
"News?" Heizi didn't understand why Jia mentioned this, and replied honestly: "I usually only watch basketball games like the NBA."
Jia also understood, just looked at him: "It doesn't matter whether I like it or not. In other words, even if I don't like Xiaozheng, it won't affect what I want to do, and just because I like him doesn't mean we will be together."
Heizi couldn't figure it out: "I still don't understand."
"You'll know when you meet someone you like."
Jia smiled, then tidied up his things, and Heizi also prepared new toiletries for him,
The puzzled Heizi also had doubts in his heart. When he dug out the news of the last few days from the computer in his study, he couldn't find any other adjectives to express his feeling at the moment besides shock. Jia was actually from England. prince!
The real prince is not a fictional character in fairy tales at all, but from the appearance, except for the deep and delicate sense of mixed blood in the facial features, Jia does not have the arrogance of being a nobleman at all.
"I really can't tell."
It's just that after the shock, he also somewhat understood that even ordinary families might not be able to accept their relationship, let alone people in the royal family.
However, unlike what Heizi thought, Jia’s concern was not this. It was one thing for the royal family not to accept it. After the last blind date banquet, he also knew that he couldn’t continue like this.
Maybe he no longer cares about the royal family three years ago, or maybe he is really not suitable to stay in the circle of nobles, or maybe there are other reasons.
×
The next day, Jia woke up very early, which may also have something to do with sleeping.And Heizi read all the relevant news yesterday, and his sleep time has been reduced a lot, so he also had obvious dark circles when he woke up this morning.
But when he got up and walked out of the room, he unexpectedly smelled an aroma, which was the aroma of fried eggs.
Heizi saw Jia who was calmly making breakfast in the kitchen with a shovel in an orderly manner, and Jia, who was concentrating, did not notice Heizi's arrival, and was fully preparing the food with all his heart.
"Is this edible?"
Jia was startled by the sudden sound, and Heizi appeared almost silently. Fortunately, he didn't shake his hands so much that he threw the pot away.
Curiously, Heizi poked the tender egg with a fork, expressing his shock: "I didn't expect you to be able to cook, don't you have servants?"
"Servants also have time off."
Hearing the surprise in Heizi's plain tone, Jia put the sliced meat in the pot on a plate, shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "Sometimes a person learns to make some by himself, and I see that there are still some ingredients in the refrigerator, so I put them in by the way. The lunch box is also ready."
After speaking, he handed the packed lunch box to Heizi. Heizi, who only ate bread at school these days, also happily accepted the rare dinner. I have to say that Jia’s craftsmanship is very good. With a fried aroma, the freshly baked toast is also very soft.
The bento at noon is considered the most delicious meal he has had in the past few days, and after knowing that he ate bread every meal, Ka also said that he would stay here temporarily during this period, so he did not inform Akashi of his return.
Heizi was in a good mood, but this good mood almost disappeared when he met another person in the basketball team.
"Little Heizi~ I'm here to play with you~" The hormones emitted by Kise, who is wearing the Haichang school uniform, naturally attracted many people, which made the basketball club very lively today. Heizi glanced at that The luminous body on the side, but Kise was quite popular when he was in Teiko, and the current situation is not so surprising.
"Don't be so cold." Kise put his arms around Heizi's neck, saying "we have a very good relationship", and smiled brightly: "Obviously we were all bullied by Akashi in Teiko."
Heizi shook off his hand directly: "I was not bullied."
"Little Heizi, you hurt me too much by saying that." Kise wiped away tears as he spoke, but cheered up in the next second, "Rather than staying in this kind of basketball club with little strength and reputation, Xiao Heizi might as well be with you." I went to Haichang together, and it happened that we could continue to play basketball as before, and then kill Akashi and the others one by one.”
The corners of Aida Reiko's mouth twitched as she listened to Kise's whimsical words. At the beginning, her favorability, which had risen because of Kise's appearance, instantly dropped to a negative value, and black air radiated: "What is strength and fame, this damn bastard."
"calm!"
When Vulcan heard that Kise was a member of the "Generation of Miracles", he directly launched a challenge without thinking, but he was made even more excited by Kise's perfect imitation. Such a person is worth defeating.
The perfect shot made the girls around scream again. Obviously, they are all loyal fans of Kise, as can be seen from the photobook in each hand.
"So I said—" Kise spun the basketball handsomely, and then threw it directly to Heizi, with a dazzling smile on his lips: "Xiao Heizi and I are the perfect partners, and no one else is important."
Heizi raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
Huang Lai thought that he was a little relieved, and immediately nodded without hesitation: "Of course."
Heizi who got the answer also took out his mobile phone and sent a text message, Huang Lai came over strangely: "Little Heizi, who are you texting? It can't be Xiao Qingfeng, right?"
"No." Heizi shook his head, then seeing Kise heaved a sigh of relief, "I just told Jia not to go to Haichang, the others are not important anyway."
"So that's the case." Kise nodded reflexively, but after thinking about it briefly, he also realized that something was wrong, as if he didn't notice anything, "Wait!"
Heizi saw that Kise's expression changed several times in an instant, and finally froze in disbelief: "Little Heizi, did you mention 'Ka' just now? He has already returned to Japan?"
And the Vulcan on the other side frowned, is it just the same name?

Akashi was in training when he received the call from Smith.
The other team members suddenly sensed a change in the atmosphere around them, and they turned their gazes to the smiling Akashi: "I always feel that something is wrong with the captain today, and it seems to have become more... scary."
"Today's training ends early."
The team members holding the basketball watched Akashi put on a coat and walked out of the basketball court in a little dumbfounded, their faces were a little ugly along the way.
——That guy actually stayed in Tokyo for so many days without saying a word.
He walked out of school and took a private car directly to Tokyo along the expressway. Naturally, the speed was much faster than usual, but when he was in the car, he kept calling Jia's number, but unexpectedly there was no answer.
Here, Jia, who was studying how to get to Kyoto, sent a text message to Heizi and got on the bus. As Jia originally expected, he arrived at Luoshan before five o'clock, and the training of the basketball team was not over at this point.
When Jia found the basketball court, there were only a few scattered people inside. They noticed the unfamiliar faces, stopped their movements and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Sorry, I'm looking for someone. Is Akashi a member of the basketball club? I'm his friend."
They looked at each other: "The captain has gone home."
home?
Confused, Ka expressed his gratitude and walked out of the basketball court, but he took out his mobile phone and saw countless missed calls, not only Akashi, but also Kuroko, Kise and Kagami.
He immediately called Akashi, and it took a while to connect. Before Jia could speak, Akashi came with a slightly displeased voice: "Where are you? Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"
"I..." Jia didn't know how to answer, although he wanted to say that this was a surprise, but Akashi seemed very angry now, and his voice lowered unconsciously, "Kyoto, I originally wanted to go to Luo Shan looked for you, but they said you had gone back."
Akashi was unexpectedly silent. Jia thought he was angry and a little anxious, and Akashi's tone became helpless: "You wait for me on the basketball court, don't run around."
He knew very well that Jia had no sense of direction, and it would take a long time to find him if he walked around casually. It was not that similar things had never happened before.
But now we can only ask the driver to turn around immediately. When he returned to Luoshan, it was already six o'clock, the sky was dark, and almost all the people in the school had left.
When Akashi ran to the basketball court, Ka was sitting on the stone steps with his mobile phone in his hand. After waiting outside for almost an hour, he also felt a little cold, and when he was about to move his hands, he stopped unexpectedly.
"Is it cold?" Ka, who heard the voice, raised his head, and Akashi just stood a few steps away from him. The lights on the campus were also turned on at night, and the reflected light carried an indescribable warmth. The faces seem to overlap with those of the teenagers who came looking for him years ago.
In fact, Akashi's temper is not very good, and the number of times they quarreled because of disputes in the past few years is not too small, but most of them are not the first to compromise.
Standing up holding Akashi's extended hand, it was so warm that people clenched it a little bit, Jia smiled: "No."
