[Comprehensive] Did Zhixi watch pretty boys today?

That night.

The sound of rushing water stopped abruptly, followed by the rustling of clothes. Not long after, the well-dressed teenager opened the bathroom door.The tips of the red hair were wetted into locks, still dripping water.

Two sounds of "Du Du", it was the elderly housekeeper who knocked on the door. After getting permission, he poked his head in, his slightly cloudy eyes stopped when he touched the young man, and after two seconds he said as usual: "Young master, sir, come back I'm waiting for you in the study now... remember to dry your hair first."

"Understood, thank you Uncle Shibasaki."

"Ai."

The heavy solid wood bedroom door was closed again with a "beep".

Akashi Seijuro casually took a dry towel and put it on his head, rubbed it perfunctorily with one hand and turned on the phone screen with the other. It was a message from the person he had confessed to.

[The teachers and support staff of the entire office building have checked, and there is no suspicious situation; the monitor at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor was disturbed by some unknown signal for nearly 1 minute, so there is no picture data for that 1 minute, and it will be restored later usual. ]

[The flower pot popped up and dropped after that 1 minute. ]

Although the person who sent the message tried his best to speak calmly and carefully, there was still a trace of surprise leaked between the lines.

Akashi was silent, his eyes deepened a bit, the bedroom was so quiet that the ticking of the clock hands could be heard for a while, he stood up after a while, put the towel on the back of the chair, pushed the door and walked out.

In the huge study room, only a small light was turned on on one side of the desk.The dim light came from one side, casting a shadow on the face of the middle-aged man at the desk, making the man's expression more inexplicable.He folded his hands and supported his chin, leaned his elbows on the wide tabletop and looked at the boy in dark home clothes opposite him. After a while, he said, "Have you already thought about it?"

The voice was unexpectedly gentle.

Akashi Seijuro was stunned, and after the fleeting accident, he replied softly: "Yes, after considering all aspects, I think Miss Hanin is the best candidate."

"Hmm," Akashi Masomi twitched his eyebrows slightly, he picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat, and when he looked up again, his face remained unchanged, but there seemed to be an indistinct smile in his dark red pupils Concerned, half serious and half teasing, "Seijuro, what do you think of that young lady from the Xianyuan family?"

It was rare for his father to take the initiative to ask his opinion outside the business field - this realization surprised Akashi Seijuro, but he could probably guess what the man was thinking.

The young man, who was six to seven points similar in appearance to the man, lowered his head slightly, his eyes suddenly became a little gentle, "She is a very good person."

Akashi Masato raised his eyebrows in surprise, not entirely because of such unsparing praise, but because his only son, who has always been strict in words, didn't start with the words "in my opinion", and gave out straightforwardly. evaluate.

Not to express ideas, but to state facts.

He tilted his head with interest, waiting for the boy opposite to continue, "So..."

"So, I really want her to be my wife, father."

Passing through a misty forest, the humid water vapor in the air is gradually replaced by a burnt smell of burning branches. Layers upon layers of leaves are scrambling to catch the light of the sky. The forest is getting darker and darker, and a wonderful touch comes from the soles of the feet. Looking down, the feet without silk shoes are slightly sunken in the wet soil, soft, but hard wrapped with small stones.

She suddenly came back to herself——

……This is where?

Zhi Xi lowered her head and looked at herself again, she was still wearing the pajamas before going to bed, with a thin ribbon bow tied at the neckline, her hair that had not been blown too dry before going to bed was scattered behind her, and the ends of her hair were still damp.

... sleepwalking?This possibility was immediately denied by her. If it was sleepwalking, the outside world should not be such a blue sky anyway.

So it's a dream?Zhi Xi pinched her thigh, and the pain came immediately.

Zhixi was a little dazed, two possibilities were denied in a row, and only the most unlikely one was left—the sequelae caused by Saiki Kusuo's superpower deviation, which would make her body teleport after falling asleep.

Observing the direction in which the leaves grow, Zhixi vaguely recognized the east in this lush forest, but this did not help her situation at all. She kept looking around trying to find any familiar things, But no idea.

It's so strange, even if it's Qi Mu-kun's sequelae of superpowers, it shouldn't lead to such a weird result...

A faint sound came from the nearby woods.

Zhixi cheered up, focused on judging the source and content of the sound, and instinctively lowered herself down to hide her abrupt pink pajamas in the bushes, only revealing a pair of eyes to look out.

The sharp and ear-piercing sound of metal colliding, and the more intense smell of burnt branches were getting closer to the woods where she was, and she could even see the smoke floating not far away.

"You have no way out, die!"

It was the arrogant and rough voice of a man.

What seemed to be his answer was a sharp gasp.

It seems very bad... Zhi Xi held her breath nervously. If this was a dream, the illusion around her would be too real. She had never captured so many details so clearly in a dream.

Something seemed to cut through the air, the sound of hunting air tore through the woods, and hit her where she was, and the scorching temperature followed--Zhixi rolled on the spot and avoided it, turning her head in shock I went there, and was horrified to find that it was a fireball about half a meter in diameter.

Fortunately, no one seems to have noticed her... Zhixi tiptoed to avoid a few broken branches, and found a new place to hide. From this angle, she could clearly capture what happened a few meters away: it was a The boy, who looked no more than ten years old, had mud and wounds all over his body, and his strange clothes were torn in several places, so he was in a mess; in front of him was a young man who was about to approach with a short knife in his hand.

"Yo, can't you run anymore? - I told you earlier, you have no way out!"

The young man whose smile was difficult to make people feel good about said that he raised the short knife in his hand high, while Zhi Xi, whose heart was already jumping to the throat, noticed at that moment that there was a shaped knife not far from her feet. It was a strange dagger, before she had time to think about it, she grabbed the handle of the dagger, turned over, skimmed the bushes low, and rushed towards the young man behind him.

Wow, what the hell am I doing! ?

In less than a second, Zhixi had only this thought in her mind, but it disappeared after she met the boy's eyes. The young man heard the sound of piercing the sky behind him, and after a very short hesitation, he chose turned his head——

The embarrassed boy hooked his mouth and actually smiled.

In the next second, some kind of energy that Zhixi could not see suddenly filled the entire space, the boy's black hair fluttered and fluttered, and the hem of the tattered clothes fluttered accordingly. Zhixi saw that he seemed to stretch out his hand and made a strange movement, The young man flew out suddenly and hit a tree trunk not far away, making no more sound.

Immediately, only she and the boy holding the strange dagger were left in the woods, looking at each other.

"..."

"..."

Zhi Xi threw away the dagger and raised her hands, "I, I have no malice!"

The boy stared at her tightly, squinted his eyes, and made no sound.

What happened to this woman who appeared suddenly? She was wearing inexplicable clothes, and she was barefoot.

The most important thing is that he can't perceive the slightest chakra from her.

Could it be that it is an enemy who is already strong enough to control Chakra freely... The boy suddenly lowered his waist, and subconsciously groped towards the back with his hand, but it was in vain—the last handful of kunai had already been used just now. Lost.

As soon as Zhi Xi saw his posture, she was so nervous that she didn't dare to vent her anger, she just shook her head desperately, "I really didn't mean to harm you... I just wanted to attack him..."

——If you know that this kid is so powerful, what kind of hero does she have?

The boy was not in a hurry to speak, but took a few deep breaths silently, recuperating the disordered inner breath caused by the depletion of Chakra, and only opened his mouth vigilantly after the sweet smell in his throat was slightly suppressed. : "Who are you? Why did you appear in our territory?"

territory?

This noun, which she only saw in history textbooks, made Zhixi's brain stuck, and she noticed the slightly strange tone of the boy when he spoke... It was like the tone of people who communicated many, many years ago.

"--Say."

Before waiting for an answer, the boy suddenly took a step forward, his voice suddenly sank.

"—I, I don't know! Uh..."

Zhi Xi was surprised to find that her body was gradually becoming transparent. The boy obviously noticed this too, and his complexion became more and more ugly. He rushed forward and grabbed her right wrist, with such force that she couldn't hold back her convulsions. Take a breath.

Zhi Xi's whole body was shaken, and she sat up from the bed in shock.

On the ivory white bedside table, it showed that the time was not yet seven o'clock.

... Sure enough, it was a dream.

She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, not sure if it was because of the dream that haunted her all night, her body felt very tired, she walked to the cloakroom to change into the ironed school uniform, Zhi Xi froze while combing her messy hair.

A faint red mark appeared on the right wrist.

It was exactly the same place where he was caught by the boy in the dream.

Not daring to think about it anymore, Zhi Xi went downstairs after sloppy washing, a man with a handsome face was sitting at the dining table, looking at her leisurely.

"Morning." He said.

"Well, good morning brother."

The constriction in those obsidian-like pupils was too strong, Zhixi sipped milk, and originally planned to bite the bullet and pretend not to see it, but she had to give up after three seconds: "Brother... Is there something?"

Xianyuanlian looked at her sister's face back and forth twice, and came to the conclusion that "she put on makeup today".

Sure enough, it is because...

"You and that kid from the Akashi family have gotten very close recently?"

Ren Xianyuan took out a napkin to wipe off her fingers, and asked slowly.

Zhi Xi paused, "Ah, Akashi-kun? He is teaching Chinese recently."

The young man frowned: "Isn't your Mandarin the best?"

"Uh... still want to improve a little bit."

Xianyuan Lian was noncommittal, snorted softly, and said: "He is at the door of the house now, and said that he will pick you up from school in the future."

Zhixi's hands trembled, and she almost knocked over the plate containing the bread. With lingering fear, she pushed everything in front of her away, and then asked in surprise: "Why?"

"How do I know...he has a heart."

After Xianyuanlian finished speaking, she went upstairs with a weird smile on her lips.Zhi Xi looked at the table in front of her and was no longer in the mood to eat. She was always reluctant to let people wait for her, so she grabbed her schoolbag and went out.

Outside the door, a red-haired boy in school uniform was standing in front of the car. When he saw her coming out, he paused, and the smile on his lips deepened slightly, "Good morning."

"Morning, morning, Akashi-kun." Zhixi walked to the front of the car in two or three steps, watched him open the door and gestured "please" to her in horror, and couldn't help asking: "Uh, why is Akashi-kun?" Will you suddenly propose to pick me up...?"

He also sat in and closed the door, "I just did it because I wanted to. Is Zhixi unwilling?"

"Uh, no no no."

"That means you are willing?"

The tail sound raised slightly.

Why did this person suddenly make a joke!Zhi Xi was shocked, subconsciously tucking the messy temple hair behind her ears with her fingers, but when she just lifted it up, she realized that the red marks on her wrist hadn't faded, so her movements suddenly became very embarrassing.

Akashi chuckled, leaned over slowly, and straightened her disobedient hair, "I can't see you like this, it makes me feel like I'm bullying."

When the young man leaned over, his body was full of cold breath, he got a little closer, and the corner of the collar of his slightly stiff shirt lightly brushed her cheek inadvertently, leaving a slight itch.

Zhixi grabbed Akashi's hand that had not been withdrawn.

The car moved smoothly on the road.

She stared fixedly into the pair of crimson pupils, without dodging or avoiding, her voice was soft but loud: "You know?"

"Know what," Akashi let her hold on, "about the flowerpot?"

The girl bit her lower lip tightly and said nothing.

With a slight movement of his fingers, Akashi slowly broke free from her confinement—she didn't exert much strength at first—moved her fingers down and stroked her jaw, "Let go, don't bite it."

He added, "You don't have to hide it from me, I told you, right? It's okay to rely on others once in a while."

He always wants to protect people in the palm of his hand.
