"Oh, Zhixi, are they all your friends?"

Zhi Xi, who was about to help Chuan Xijia, paused and turned around.

It was a middle-aged couple, and there was a slender young man standing beside them.The three of them were looking at him, and the middle-aged man at the head saw her look over, with a smile on the end of his eyes, deep and shallow lines swaying all the way, "It's been a long time since we saw each other, does Zhixi miss Dad? "

The lady next to him covered her lips and smiled lightly, shaking the man's arm lightly, "How old are the children and still asking these questions."

The noble lady has the same long coffee-colored hair as Zhixi, obviously it has been meticulously cared for until the end of the hair is shiny, and the eyes are even more similar, and Zhixi has a feeling that she is looking at herself in the mirror. Feeling the illusion, he opened his mouth in a daze, "Dad, Mom..."

……

Who are you all...

"Oh, it feels like our Xiaozhixi has grown a little taller."

"We haven't seen each other for two weeks. What nonsense are you talking about?"

It can be seen that the relationship between the husband and wife is so good that honey is mixed with oil, and you put your daughter aside in a blink of an eye.Some people around recognized them, they couldn't wait to come forward to chat, and even praised Zhi Xi and the young man, their attitude was quite different from before.And the young man exchanged a few words with the people around him, then walked towards the wine table.

Zhi Xi swallowed nervously if she felt something.

"Mr. Xianyuan," Fujiwara Anko spoke first, "Long time no see."

The young man stopped, "Miss Xing is beautiful tonight."

"...Thank you, Mr. Ren." Fujiwara Anko took advantage of the situation and changed her address.

Zhi Xi, who was acting as the background board, said: "..."

Although I don't know what the relationship between the two is, but Fujiwara Anko's ears are definitely red, Zhixi looked away, looked at the young man with a handsome and gentle face, paused for two seconds, and said hesitantly: "Brother, brother..."

She yelled very frightenedly.

The young man raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his thin lips became playful, "What trouble did you cause again? Let me guess, it has something to do with Seijuro? What trouble did you cause him?"

Zhi Xi: "..."

What kind of impression did Hanyuan Zhixi make on the people around her in the past? !

"Mr. Xianyuan was joking, Lingmei has never caused me any trouble."

Not many people came to this reception today, but most of them were very important in the fields of their respective family businesses.Even so, most of the guests present were most concerned about the situation of the Akashi Zaibatsu—they had received news before they came that the head of the Akashi Zaibatsu and their only son would attend the small reception held by the Morita family tonight.

Because it was different from his father's starting point, Akashi Seijuro arrived one step ahead of Akashi Seishi.People like him are eye-catching everywhere, which is why he didn't communicate with Xianyuan Zhixi just now.He had just greeted the Xianyuan couple who had just arrived at the scene, and walked over here, and timely rescued that "Xianyuan Zhixi", "I am usually at school, and I am taken care of by my sister a lot. "

It's intriguing to say that.Xianyuan Ren gently shook the champagne in her hand, and a familiar smile overflowed in her eyes: "Seijuro, you and I don't have to be polite, no one knows better than me what kind of character Zhixi is. We were used to it since we were young. The place doesn't look right."

Zhi Xi, who was sipping cakes from the side, froze.

Akashi took a glass of orange juice from the waiter's plate and handed it to her, with a look of concern in his eyes: "Eat slowly, don't worry," after watching the girl take a sip with a strange expression, he turned back and picked up the sip of Hanyuan Ren. Words: "Your sister is lively and lovely, I have the intention of being close to her, so what I said just now is completely from the bottom of my heart."

Zhixi shook her hands and almost spilled the orange juice.

Xianyuan Lian gradually stopped her smile, narrowed her long and narrow eyes, seemed to be thinking about something, and seemed to be confirming something, after a long while, she said: "It seems that I, as the elder brother, need to find some time to have a good chat with my parents About the sister-in-law."

Zhi Xi struggled and stretched out a hand to interrupt the conversation between the two: "Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Xianyuanlian smiled and patted her head, and controlled her strength properly so as not to mess up her hairstyle, "Don't be afraid, brother will protect you."

His appearance is very different from hers. The young man has black hair and black eyes, his eyes are as deep as water in a cold pool, and like a thousand-year-old black jade, but when he looks down at her, his gaze will be stuck in a gentle and indifferent At the junction point, Zhi Xi's mind was in turmoil.

——Brother is so cool, although I don’t know what he’s talking about, but it’s nice to have a brother!

On this side, Akashi Seijuro had a panoramic view of the girl's reaction, and a smile slipped across his ruby-like eyes.

"Then, I will seriously discuss this matter with my father."

Even with the company of Fujiwara Anko, the reception was too boring for Zhixi. In the first half, she could happily pick up those delicate foods to fill her stomach, but in the second half, she couldn't do more to "control her body shape" eat.And Fujiwara Anko and Xianyuan Lian——Zhi Xi boldly guessed that the two were either a couple or engaged—they found a corner there, talking about something, and posing intimately.

Bored, Zhi Xi finally ran to an arched balcony, holding on to the railing to enjoy the breeze.

There was a dull pain in the lower abdomen, and the familiar feeling of falling became more and more obvious. Although she had already padded things on the ground to prepare for it not long ago, at most it could only prevent her from embarrassing herself in public.The night was already dark, and the night wind made her tremble uncontrollably, she reached out her hand to touch the row of goose bumps on her forearm, and sighed.

"It seems that you are not very good at communicating with them."

A clear and slightly cool voice sounded from behind, and the end of the sound melted into the boundless night.

"It can't be helped, you know me," Zhi Xi turned around, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "They are not my family, and talking about it will only make more mistakes."

"So," he walked towards her with the lights in the hall behind him, "where's your family?"

"I don't have a family." Zhi Xi watched with flattery as the other party unbuttoned her suit jacket and put it on her body, and unconsciously scratched the edge of the material with her fingers, "...Thank you."

Akashi nodded, and just said, "This is what a gentleman should do."

"Is Akashi-kun a gentleman?"

He tilted his head, "What do you think?"

Zhi Xi lowered her head again, the coat on her body still carried his body temperature, and there was a faint scent of cologne.She looked at the pattern on the marble floor, and for a while, "Will Akashi-kun care about this? My image in the eyes of others... something."

"You're really cunning," Akashi sighed with a smile as if helpless, "I don't really care about this."

"Then I'll just say it straight," the girl looked relieved, and looked straight into his eyes, "Akashi-kun in my eyes is a very smart person."

Akashi was slightly taken aback.

This evaluation was completely beyond his expectations.

"Really?" He narrowed his eyes and said softly, "I thought you would think I was cold-blooded after what happened just now."

Zhi Xi paused, "Well... At that time, I complained so much in my heart-I swear I will say it."

She explained cautiously again: "Because Ms. Oikawa mentioned you at the time... I thought you would come out, uh, to rescue her."

"Why should I save her?"

"Eh? Although it is true that there is no such obligation..." Zhixi was surprised by Akashi's reaction, and added carefully: "Because at the time, everyone seemed to think that I was bullying her...something. "

When the girl said this, there was still a slight smile at the end of her eyes—she was always smiling, as if she had never encountered any disappointment in her life.Even in the embarrassing and delicate situation not long ago, she was still able to lighten the atmosphere with a few words.Akashi Seijuro withdrew his gaze, took two steps forward, and leaned against the fence with her.

"I thought……"

After a while, he tried to speak.

"what?"

"No, nothing."

Akashi turned his head and looked at her quietly.

He also thought that the cold-blooded she was referring to was blaming him for not coming out to speak for her just now, but he didn't expect that she cared about another person from the beginning to the end.

"...I was thinking to see how you would deal with other people's hostility, so I didn't show up." After a while of silence, when the night wind blew again, Akashi spoke slowly.

Such an explanation of his inner thoughts is extremely rare for him, let alone to such a person who is not familiar with him, but at this moment, Akashi found a more prominent problem. On Zhixi, her temple hair was blown by the night wind, and fell down again.

She was obviously just an ordinary girl, but if she had to say something was different, it was probably that face that was more eye-catching than most of her peers.

But she was full of contradictions all over her body.

Zhi Xi waited for a long time without waiting for the next text, so she had to answer by herself: "I didn't handle it very well... This is the first time I have encountered such a thing, and I didn't really react at the time."

"No, I think you've done a good job." Akashi praised the girl without hesitation, and stared at her seriously with pure red eyes, "I'm just curious about your inner thoughts."

"I have no idea."

Zhi Xi wrapped his coat tightly, and took a deep breath, "That's a bit of a luxury for me, because what I have to do is very clear, so I never just think about what I want to do, and that's enough."

Is it really?

As long as the task is completed, there is no need to think about other things, just go on like this... Is this enough?

She shook her head and put these thoughts behind her, "Actually, Akashi-kun, I wanted to keep a distance from you at first."

Akashi looked at her without saying a word.

"Well, I know that someone like Akashi-kun can definitely see it - so your reaction is to approach me, just like now." Zhixi leaned in front of Akashi, and met the beautiful and stunning pair of shoes without any shyness. Eyes, biting each word softly, "Why do you deliberately approach me? Because there is a so-called marriage contract between us? ——Speaking of which marriage contract really exists?"

Akashi is a very extreme person—extremely restrained, extremely bland.His eyes seldom show emotion, or people like him seldom allow his eyes to show emotion, so most of the time, he is indifferent, with a pair of red eyes that are obviously passionate but full of emotion. There is always a pool of ancient wells and deep springs, and you can't see the end.

So when he met Shang Zhixi's eyes suppressing countless churning thoughts with such a pair of eyes, his extreme innocence would only give birth to more colorful colors in her heart.

She was so close that he could smell the faint fragrance of her body, was it perfume or cosmetics?

"does not exist."

Akashi was silent for a few seconds on purpose, until he saw the girl began to bite her lower lip subconsciously, and a little "nervousness" gradually appeared in her eyes, before answering the question, "The reason for approaching you is, I want to know what your purpose is."

Marriage contracts really don't exist - so far.

But in the future, maybe.

Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief.

She slowly stood back up straight again, "I don't have any purpose, just because I like Akashi-kun so much, so I want to be the president of your support club - is this purpose okay?"

Akashi sighed softly, not commenting on her half-truths, "Kanin Ren - your 'brother', he is not easy to deal with."

"Well, is this reminding me?"

"If you don't want to be sent to the police station, or a mental hospital, be careful."

He was obviously more nervous than anyone else, but he still insisted on not letting him notice.

Inexplicably, Akashi Seijuro felt something similar to "unbearable" in his heart.

As for other things, take your time later.
