age is not a problem

After a big night of trouble, the matter was finally resolved.In fact, the ending is still the same as in the past, Kidd failed to steal the gem, and the police failed to arrest Kidd.

"So we must deploy sufficient police force next time! This time is simply too dangerous!"

"Didn't you deploy a large number of police forces before, and you were still tricked by that stinky thief Kidd... It's not as good as this kid wearing glasses. Every time he is there, at least the gems can be guaranteed not to be stolen! "

In the hall, Nakamori Ginzo and Suzuki Jirokichi, who had been stunned before, fought again after waking up.

Conan, whose eyes narrowed into his signature half-moon eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to the fact that the two uncles had to pinch a few times every time Kidd's affairs were over.

On the side, Mrs. Suzuki, who was also awake, was shocked when she found out that Kidd was disguised as her daughter tonight, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief after calling home to make sure Sonoko was safe.

After receiving the intact "Tears of Akahito" from Kiyomi, Mrs. Suzuki stared at the gemstone for a while, then walked up to Akashi.

"Seijuro, this jewel... Take it back, it should belong to you."

Akashi looked at the gem, but finally shook his head: "No, this is what mother gave to your aunt..."

"Actually, that's not the case." Mrs. Suzuki interrupted suddenly, which also attracted the attention of other people in the hall. Everyone looked over, "Why was this gem called 'Red Heart' in the first place? You know why."

Conan, who used a light source to illuminate the six-shot starlight of this ruby ​​in front of everyone, nodded, "Well, I know, because the six-shot starlight of this ruby ​​looks like three overlapping hearts, that's right. Bar?"

"That's right." Mrs. Suzuki smiled, with both melancholy and nostalgic smiles, "Hey, Seijuro, why did your father and mother get married back then, you should know by now... I didn't want to talk to you too much about this before, because you were too young, and I really didn't want you to face these things at a young age. But now, Seijuro has really grown up."

Akashi, who is no longer a child, or who is much more mature than his peers, will naturally not avoid these things, and said in a calm tone: "I know, it's because of the family marriage."

"That's right, it's a family marriage, just like me back then. Back then, our father, your grandfather, married our sisters to Suzuki and Akashi, the two big chaebols." Recalling the events of more than ten years , Mrs. Suzuki couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Father, you clearly promised that Shiori and I only need one person to fulfill the obligation of family marriage. I have already married Suzuki Shiro, why do you force Shiori to marry into the Akashi family, just let Shiori Marrying a man I didn't know or understand before!

Well, Tomoko, this matter has been settled with the Akashi family, and it is impossible to change it... Besides, the family marriage may not be bad, don't you and Shiro live happily now?

There is no comparison at all!Shirou is a gentle and honest person, but Akashi Masaki is different. That man is notoriously ruthless in the circle, just by looking at his methods in the mall... and Shiori has been physically ill since she was a child. No, how can you have the heart to let her face such a man day and night in the future!

"That was the most critical period of my father's career. No matter how much I tried to dissuade him, my father still insisted on marrying Shiori to Zhengchen, and insisted on marrying the Akashi family."

Mrs. Suzuki's eyes drooped slightly, and she looked at the ruby ​​in her hand again:

"After marrying into Akashi's family, Shiori's situation is exactly the same as I thought. She really wants to live a good life, but she still can't melt Zhengchen's heart. This gem is Shiori's in Seijuro you just now I bought it when I was born, because the six-ray starlight of this gemstone presents the shape of three overlapping hearts, and I heard about the history of this gemstone. It was built by the Duke for hundreds of years. Gemstones are entrusted to express the heart-to-heart of a family of three... Shiori really strives to be a good wife and mother, and hopes that the family can be happy. However, the greater the hope, when faced with disappointment, only It will be even more painful...Shiori was once disappointed and even resigned to her fate. Probably when Seijuro and you were in kindergarten, Shiori stayed with me for a few days, watching me and Shiro, Ayako, and Sonoko's family. In my daily life, I saw envy in her eyes. Later, she gave me this ruby, and she said...Compared to her, I am more suitable for this ruby. But she is more suitable for holding this ruby. It's like a hopeless sustenance."

Listening to his aunt's narration, Akashi just remained silent, but his clenched fists couldn't stop trembling slightly, obviously trying to suppress his emotions.

From a very young age, he had to attend various banquets of the so-called high society with his parents.At the banquet, the parents have always been the model couples among the others, and everyone is full of praise for the two.Whether in front of him or in front of outsiders, the two of them looked so respectful to each other.

However, as he grew up, he gradually became aware of the delicate relationship between his parents.Maybe mom and dad really don't love each other as much as they seem... When this idea suddenly appeared, and the facts seemed to confirm this idea little by little, he felt unprecedented fear in his heart at that time.

But no matter what, he loves his mom, and even all these years he insisted on playing basketball, initially because of the mother brought the game into his life, so that he can take the breathless homework that his father arranged for him. A moment of relaxation and freedom can be obtained under the heavy pressure given.

But his mother left him after all, in the summer when he was in the fifth grade of elementary school.

The day he attended the funeral was a nightmare he would never forget.

"But..." Mrs. Suzuki, who was narrating eloquently, changed the topic and smiled helplessly, "Later, after a few years, the things Shiori and I said in our hearts were a little bit different. until one day she told me...she loves conscripting officials not just because of the responsibility of being a 'wife'."

Sister Pengzi, Zhengchen is actually a very interesting person, but he likes to hide himself too much.

The same is true for Xiaozheng. He obviously loves Xiaozheng so much, and wants to be more gentle with Xiaozheng every time...but he just can't express it. In the end, he holds a zombie face to his son every time.

If you use a word that has been very popular in the past two years to describe it... Zheng Chen is actually a boring man.It looks like he puts on a paralyzed face every day, but in fact he has a lot of inner drama, and I'm afraid that if he continues like this, one day he will become dizzy.

But these words seemed to touch a certain nerve in Akashi, and he raised his voice in a rude and rare way in front of his elders: "But father... he treats mother..."

"Then do you know that for the past two years, your grandfather has been putting pressure on your father to get him to marry a new wife?" Facing her only nephew, Mrs. Suzuki's tone was slightly tinge The sternness of the elders.

Akashi was stunned for a moment... Since his mother passed away, there was no mother to build a bridge in between, and the relationship between him and his father has become more rigid than before in the past few years.And he has never thought about this matter, he has never thought about how attractive a father who holds power and wealth and is also in his prime is to the women in this circle.

"To be honest, until now I still feel that Shiori would have been happier if she had married another man, but...at least, she loved someone worthy of her love." Mrs. Suzuki said with a light smile, while laughing As he spoke, two teardrops overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and he raised his hand to gently wipe them away.

She will never forget that scene. That day, after receiving the news that her sister was critically ill, she rushed to the hospital like crazy, but she was still a step late and could not see her sister for the last time.

The moment she pushed open the door of the ward, she saw that arrogant red-haired man whisper something to Shiori, and it was the first time she saw that man cry.

Then, Shiori smiled and closed her eyes in his arms.

Later, that scene was replayed countless times in her mind, and she finally learned what the man was talking about from his mouth movements.

A sentence that couldn't be more vulgar but finally said it - "I love you."

Fortunately, it is not too late.

I remember later, at Shiori's funeral, he also said to her...

I will not marry anyone again, and Seijuro will be my only child.

A person's life is indeed too short, and I don't know much about love, so my life...is only enough to love Shiori.

I know that Shiori is gone, but I will not do such a stupid thing as dying for her, because I still have Seijuro... I will love her every day in the future, and watch Seijuro for her. Juro grows up, until we meet her again in another world in the future, because she just took my heart with me, and took that world with me.

Heh... Sure enough, when a sullen person expresses his heart, he can earn more tears...

After chuckling bitterly, Mrs. Suzuki stepped forward and put this jewel necklace on Akashi's neck:

"This jewel is also a good match for your family...and, you know, why did Shiori fall in love with this 'tears of red eyes' at a glance...because, she said, 'Seeing this If you look at this jewel, you will think of Xiaozheng's beautiful ruby-like eyes. Moreover, since this gemstone is called "Tears of Red Eyes", let this "pupil" shed tears for Xiaozheng Well, Xiaozheng will have a smile on his face every day.'”

His hands tremblingly caressed the gem on his chest, it was obviously a cold thing, but Akashi felt a warm feeling in his chest, just like when his mother hugged him when he was a child.

On the side, a group of Rainbow Boys were also infected... Just look at Ziyuan, who is so excited that he is chewing potato chips so fast.

"Kose, what are you doing...Here, wipe..." Midorima handed a tissue to Kise who was beside him, and turned her head arrogantly.

"But I'm really touched, Xiaoluma, haven't you been moved..." The easy-going and funny Kise Uchiri is actually not a person who is easily moved, but usually he is really moved. The little tears burst out uncontrollably, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, are you crying too?"

Kise's somewhat surprised tone instantly attracted everyone to look at the red-haired boy in the center.

And Akashi just closed his eyes naturally and opened them again, and replied with some helplessness: "...not at all."

Knowing that the nephew should not lose the dignity of the captain in front of his teammates, Mrs. Suzuki also joked: "However, things like gems are more suitable for women, especially such gem necklaces, so... Seijuro will definitely Find a girl as good as Shiori, and give her this 'red heart'."

As soon as this remark came out, the colorful teenagers immediately booed, each of them was imagining what kind of attributes the future "Ms. Akashi" should have... and then the thinking became more and more outrageous.

Akashi: "..."

Although he was even more helpless, but looking at this group of messy teammates, the corners of the red-haired boy's mouth raised an almost indiscernible arc.

Qingmei and Conan, who had already retreated to the corner and whispered, smiled helplessly as they watched the group of junior high school students turn the atmosphere from moving to noisy.

"Mother...is really great." Qingmei said with a sigh.

In fact, the reason why I want to help Akashi guard this gem tonight is because I have indeed been taken care of by Akashi for so long, and on the other hand...

She thought of the mother who was as warm and tolerant as the sky she met in Bingsheng that day, the soft smile and endless love in her eyes every time she mentioned her son, and when she talked about her son's long-term The sadness and loneliness of not being able to be by my side.

Conan asked curiously: "Speaking of which, I have never heard you, Asakawa, mention anything about your family, such as your mother?"

"I am the only one in my family. My mother passed away when she was with me." Qingmei said lightly.

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Conan said apologetically, feeling that he had made a bad start and reminded the other party of bad things.

Qingmei was very relieved, "There is no need to apologize, it's not a taboo topic... I once didn't understand my mother very much. But then I gradually realized that the so-called mother probably means that even if she is no longer with the child, However, it is still possible to give guidance to the children when they face a fork in the road. Because the moment the mother's hand pushes the cradle, it is already influencing the children, planting an initial seed in their hearts , and then... quietly waiting for it to germinate..."

……

At this moment, in Tsuna's apartment——

Gang Ji was in the study room and was making a video call with the Italian headquarters. The person on the screen was his teacher, Li Baoen, the consultant leader outside Pengelie's door.

"The other terms with the Malthus family have been negotiated, and you haven't had any major problems, right?" Li Baoen asked his disciple.

Gangji nodded, "Don't worry, I can handle everything here."

"By the way, I have carefully investigated the history of the gemstone called 'Tears of Red Eyes', although later people put strange labels on this gemstone, such as 'cursed gemstone' and the like... …However, at the beginning, the reason why the first owner of this jewel, the Duchess of Malthus in the [-]th century, did not live to reach the adulthood of her son was actually because she fell into the trap of an enemy, and then the Duchess wanted to protect The son just died."

Slightly stunned, Gang Ji smiled and said:

"It really is 'Red Heart'..."

……

The author has something to say:

The influence of the family, especially the mother, on a person is self-evident... Then, what kind of family is it that can raise such a wonderful Qingmei~ Haha, the future will reveal little by little.

But there is no need to speculate on conspiracy theories, fake death theories, etc. Qingmei's parents have passed away, and they did not die of any conspiracy, but their death did have a great impact on Qingmei, and even once Negative, but okay, as Qingmei said in this chapter, "I used to not understand my mother very much. But then I gradually realized that the so-called mother probably means that even if she is no longer with her children, she still You can also give the child guidance when the child faces a fork in the road." Later, it still brought positive power to Qingmei.
