[Comprehensive] different hearts

The so-called coincidence is nothing more than that.

Ten minutes ago, Akashi promised his father to attend the meeting with President Miura tonight, and shortly thereafter, he received a call from Nagayama Rina.

Li Ming has never been an emotional person, or in other words, in front of him, she is always committed to playing the stereotype of "the daughter of a family", and it is not common to express her needs clearly and seriously like this.

Akashi was undoubtedly surprised by Rina's sudden request, but the task assigned by his father is not something that can be shirked at will. He thought for a while, and then asked: "What's wrong?"

"Well, I'm sorry for calling suddenly and making such an impolite request. Is Akashi-kun busy now?"

"..."

The Yongshan family is a family of officials and eunuchs. The Japanese National Assembly has only a history of more than a hundred years, and its family members have occupied a seat in the National Assembly for more than [-] years. The education received is not like that of Tang Woxue.

Although Akashi didn't refuse, she was keenly aware of something wrong from his slight silence, and she was about to make a concession gracefully.

Yongshan Liming never made "passing" behaviors, even in front of him, he would not act like a baby or express his thoughts too much.Akashi looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the study. There was still an hour before the agreed time for the meeting. He pondered for a while and asked directly: "Where are you now?"

"Eh? Tei, Teiguang. If Akashi-kun is busy, you don't have to come here. It's not... important."

After speaking, she was suspiciously silent for a while, and then absently completed her own words.

"...I have an important meeting later. I will arrange for Mr. Inoue to pick you up at the other house on the Sumida River. There is a tourist area nearby. You can ask the butler to accompany you around. I will come back as soon as possible." Akashi said A decision has been made, and when he said this, he had already left the study and walked downstairs.

The housekeeper and the driver have been waiting for a long time.

"Well, don't bother, we can talk about it next time. Sorry to bother you."

But the girl retreated. Strange to say, she is not someone who chooses to give up when encountering difficulties. On the contrary, Yongshan has a strong reputation. Under his gentle and quiet appearance, there is a stubborn and unyielding disposition. problem, back off right away.

"You have something to tell me." Through the phone, he could see through the girl's hesitation hidden in the nonchalant words. He slightly lowered his eyelids, and said in a clear tone, "Since this is the case, don't hesitate anymore, I will wait for you. But The premise is that you at least have the courage to convey your thoughts in person, rather than trying to fool them over the phone, otherwise, I won’t listen.”

"...Well. Then I'll wait for you." After a while of quiet breathing, the girl responded softly.

·

In the end, she somehow chose to compromise.

After the call was over, Li Ming looked at the call records displayed on the phone screen, and suddenly fell into annoyed and entangled emotions, but thinking of the conditions that he agreed to because of his emotions, the feeling of regret did not seem so unbearable.

Because, that was by no means an "insignificant matter" as she claimed, she had something important to tell Akashi-kun.

Not through the mobile phone and network cable, but standing in front of him and telling him personally.If this cannot be achieved, then her decision and even her awakening are just a child's house wine, meaningless.

Inoue is the driver of Akashi's family, and Li Ming is not familiar with the driver of Inoue.Unlike his cousin with a flamboyant personality, Akashi is by no means introverted, but has a restrained and calmness that many of his peers can't match. Coupled with his emphasis on personal privacy, even in the past, Rina didn't know much about the Akashi family. Not much.

Akashi didn't deliberately have reservations about her, but she never went to spy on the Akashi family's affairs, and Akashi would not ask her about the resolutions related to the Yongshan family. Interactions between families will be involved.

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.The relationship between the two has no direct connection with the family, and she and Akashi's love can exist as an independent family, which may be worthy of her gratitude; but equally, both she and Akashi should be very clear that pure love does not necessarily In the end, let alone her, at least Akashi is absolutely impossible to escape from the responsibilities of the family. From this perspective, Rina's concept of "future" is vague.

She only had a vague impression of Inoue, and she had no idea about the rest of the Akashi family.Akashi gave her number to Inoue, and after successfully contacting her, Inoue picked her up at the back door.

Except for the simple conversation before getting in the car, after getting in the car, Li Ming has been very quiet. She turned her head to look at the scenery passing by outside the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Inoue had met this Miss Yongshan several times before, and he was deeply impressed by her pretty appearance and kind and gentle temperament.I remember that when she was in middle school, she was often with her young master, and Inoue once thought that the two were dating - of course he didn't have the courage to ask, but in high school, he didn't often see the girl next to the young master.

Inoue has been working in Akashi's house for a long time. Although he doesn't know who this Miss Yongshan is, even he can tell that the young master treats this girl unusually.Otherwise, the young master would not have taken the time to ask him to meet the lady and take her to the other house on the Sumida River before the important meeting started.

This girl may not be aware that the other house on the Sumida River is equivalent to the second house of the Akashi family in Tokyo for the Akashi family. The Akashi family has a lot of real estate in Tokyo, some of which are for investment, and some are for the convenience of high-end purchases. An apartment, but that can only be said to be a temporary place to live, not up to the point of residence.

Although the villa on the Sumida River is smaller than the main residence in scale, it is no less important than the branch residence of the Akashi family in Kyoto in terms of importance.

Rina really didn't know the importance of the Sumida River's other residence to the Akashi family.The scenery in front of the car window slowly changed to a lush broad-leaved forest road. After the butler in the villa recognized the familiar license plate number through the surveillance, the carved iron gate was automatically ordered to open to welcome.

The housekeeper Takagi who had been waiting for a long time welcomed her politely. When he received the order from his young master, he was as surprised as Inoue, but he was a professional housekeeper after all. It's obvious, but it does its job flawlessly.

It was almost evening. After preparing a rich dinner for Li Ming, Takagi asked Li Ming if he needed to accompany him to visit the garden. After receiving Li Ming's tactful denial, he took Li Ming to the temporary guest room on the second floor.

"The young master will be back in about an hour. Miss Yongshan, please take a rest here. If you need me, there is an internal phone in the room." As the butler of the Akashi family, Takagi couldn't find any mistakes in his actions.

"Thank you, I will trouble Mr. Takagi then." Rina also responded politely with enough etiquette.

After Takagi bowed and left, Rina breathed a sigh of relief.She wasn't stage fright, but it was only natural that she would feel a little uncomfortable when she suddenly went to an unfamiliar place, especially this kind of private property.

She looked around, the room was clean and tidy, the furnishings were meticulous and exquisite, in the center of the room was a soft and comfortable bed, there was not even a single wrinkle on the quilt, there were small landscape paintings on the snow-white walls, and bookshelves hanging on the walls in twos and threes There are classics and social science books that can be used to pass the time.

On the bedside table is the internal landline Mr. Takagi said.Standing in front of the window and looking out, it is summer, the garden is full of foliage and greenery, the manicured gardening and the sparkling Sumida River branch in the distance complement each other.

Fingertips slid across the spine of the book one by one, and Li Ming pulled out a book that interested her, sat on the sofa, and put a pillow under the book to read.

The sofa is on the sunny side.She had been shopping all day today, and she was already a little tired. Coupled with the fact that the sun was lazily shining on her body, before she knew it, the words in front of her eyes became blurred as if they were smeared by water. He tried hard to open his eyes, but sleepiness prevailed in the end, he put the book by his hand, fell onto the sofa with a pillow in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

As night gradually turned cooler, Rina never slept deeply. When she slowly raised her eyelids, the sky outside the window had already dimmed, blurring the outlines of the objects in the room.She heard a slight movement outside the door, thinking that her puppet cat was playing tricks on Mr. Housekeeper again, Li Ming moved her body that was a little stiff from the cold, and moved to the door, trying to let the puppet cat in.

"Please wait a moment! Mrs. Heimiya..."

When she opened the door a little, she vaguely heard a voice eagerly stopping, but she didn't react for a while, and the door was already opened.

"Huh?" Appearing at the door of the room, the graceful and elegant woman looked at the girl with messy hair in the secondary bedroom in surprise, and uttered a puzzled syllable.

Looking at each other, Li Ming's first reaction was to retreat to the room and close the door.

After holding the doorknob for two seconds, Rina's drowsy brain finally understood the situation.

——Wait, this doesn't seem to be her room!

The talks went deeper than expected, and by the time the talks were completely over, it was already too late.Akashi bid farewell to his father on the grounds that "he still has some personal matters to deal with". When he came to the car, the driver who had been waiting for a long time leaned behind him slightly, opened the door, and meticulously reported the notice he had just received to Akashi.

"Master, Mrs. Heimiya has gone to a separate residence on the Sumida River."

Akashi paused slightly.Mrs. Heimiya's full name is Ritsuko Hiramiya, and her old surname is Akashi. She is his aunt and father's sister.Because of the blood relationship and marriage relationship, the two families have close contacts, so she often returns to the main house as a guest.

The other house is far away, and it is usually left unoccupied there. Regarding Ritsuko Hiramiya's sudden visit, Akashi thought of several possibilities, but he was still closer to the "accidental" view.

"I see." Thinking of his aunt's overly troublesome personality, Akashi sighed silently, responded lightly, and decided to return to the other house immediately.

—Hope there's nothing wrong.

The author has something to say: When writing this chapter, I asked my friends: Which is more important, work or a girlfriend?

Jiyou (firm): work.

...so Akashi chose to go to work (not for this reason
