Touched by a ghost, I choose death

The Chinese race gradually declined after entering the [-]th century. After the abolition of the Chinese race system, many Chinese races disappeared, but there are still many descendants of the Chinese race who are active in the political and business circles.

Qiye attended the tea party with her stepmother.The owner of the tea party, Xianyuanjia, was originally a Chinese, but now he is active in politics.Almost all the guests invited are the famous families of high society.

The welcome guests scooped up water and cleaned their hands, and then admired hanging paintings, flower arrangements and various treasures in the tea room, including Karatsu-yaki pots and calligraphy by eminent monks in Kyoto... After everyone admired them, they were taken to the tea room for a formal seat .

Qiye sat on the soft tatami, staring at the tea man who came with water.After she knelt down and saluted, she started serving tea.Her technique was rigorous, she burned incense, warmed the cup, and her face was calm and calm.

Then Qiye turned her gaze to the other guests, some of whom seemed to have met once, presumably they were familiar from attending other banquets before, while some were very strange to her.After scanning around, she finally saw a familiar figure.

Akashi Shiori and Akashi Seijuro sat in the positions of host and guest, while Akashi Shiori spoke to the wife of the head of the Kanin family calmly and calmly.

In fact, almost all the people present here are wives and descendants of famous family heads. The topics of chat among middle-aged women always revolve around dressing, tea ceremony flower arrangement, and of course the most important thing is husband and child.

"Ms. Akashi still looks so young."

"Ms. Hosokawa is also well maintained."

"I heard from my daughter that Akashi-kun in the class next door has always been the number one in the grade. It is said that he even won No.1 in the East Japan Piano Competition some time ago."

"The husband is so outstanding, and the son is also so outstanding. It is really enviable," a certain lady said with a look of longing, and her face changed slightly. "It's not like that brat in my family who only knows how to play every day."

"You are joking. I heard from a friend that your child won the No.1 karate competition some time ago."

……

Seven nights tasted the refreshing and elegant jade dew, leisurely ate delicate refreshments, and quietly listened to everyone's conversation.

Really boring conversation.Flatter others to a certain extent, and then show off appropriately inadvertently.

Will she become a housewife who cares for her husband and raises her children in the future?

Although it seemed a long time ago, Qiye faintly felt that he didn't want to be this kind of person in the teahouse.It's not bad, it's just that she doesn't want to, but she can't say what she is willing to do in the future.

Maybe time will tell her the answer.

Qiye silently ate purple taro-flavored snacks, then noticed her stepmother gently patted her thigh, looked up and saw the other party tilted her head and gave her a wink, Qiye, who instantly understood the meaning, followed the other's gaze looked over.

The wife of the owner of Xianyuan was smiling brightly at her at this time, but what she said made her choke instantly: "Speaking of which, my son often mentions you in my ear, saying that there is a girl named Qiye in the next class , beautiful and courteous, with excellent grades, and won a grand prize in a piano competition some time ago."

As soon as the words were finished, everyone looked at her with a hint of humor in their eyes.

so awkward.No idea who her son is.Qiye swallowed the piece of wagashi lightly, adjusted his facial expression, and thought quickly in his mind.

Speaking of which, recently there was a boy named Xianyuan who confessed to her in the next class, and she refused.Although there are many people with the surname Xianyuan, but thinking of Mrs. Xianyuan's ambiguous smile at this time, Qiye feels that she might as well not know anything.

It seems more embarrassing.What should I say?

Facing everyone's ambiguous and curious eyes, Qiye felt like a stick in her throat.

She hated this feeling very much, pulling two strangers together.To be honest, she has never been in contact with the son of the Xianyuan family, so she really doesn't know where the other party's love comes from.Maybe it's just so superficial.After all, what does his liking have to do with her?

"Hehe, Qiye in our family tends to be shy, Mrs. Xianyuan laughed at me." The stepmother at the side spoke at the right time.

"Young, you can understand."

"I can't help but think back to my student days..."

Amidst the jokes and sighs of the ladies, this topic has finally come to an end for the time being.

Qiye breathed a sigh of relief silently, and secretly glanced at the stepmother sitting beside her.

In fact, she knew the embarrassment that her stepmother was usually caught between her and her father.On the one hand, he wants to be nice to her, because he wants to integrate into this family, and moreover, he wants to gain a good impression from his father.On the other hand, the two are not related by blood after all. Although Qiye seems to be respectful to her on the surface, she is still uncertain about Qiye's attitude and thoughts towards her.I dare not be too strict, and at the same time, I am not very close.

But this time thanks to her rescue.Qiye thought silently in her heart, and at the same time she was extremely looking forward to leaving this place of right and wrong.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Akashi say something to his mother and Mrs. Kanin, then got up from the tatami, walked around in a big circle, and finally stood in front of her.

"I just got permission from my mother and the master, do you want to go out with me for a walk?" His gentle voice is even more like the sound of nature at this time.

Qiye's dim black eyes instantly lit up, she nodded, then handed him her hand, and stood up with his help.

After walking out of the Japanese room, feeling the fresh air and bright sunshine outside, Qiye breathed a sigh of relief, and gently patted her sore and numb thighs from sitting on her knees for too long.

"Thank you, Masamune." She narrowed her eyes and thanked him.

Under the piano training and basketball training, the relationship between the two is obviously getting closer, and under Shiori's instigation, they also changed their address for each other, from the polite and alienated "Akashi-kun" to "Zheng-kun".And Akashi also called her "Seven Nights".

"It's nothing," Akashi smiled, "Let's go."

Leaving halfway is the privilege of children.So the two children who escaped from the tea party began to wander around the courtyard of the courtyard.

In front of Kazuki Camellia, Nanaya stopped in her tracks.

The pure white flowers are more brilliant against the backdrop of green leaves, like a pure and noble woman, which makes people fascinated inevitably.

Realizing that the other party stopped, Akashi also turned his head to look at Nanaya, only to feel that her face was full of wonder and nostalgia at this time.

"Do you like camellias?" He walked over and asked softly.

"Well, I like it very much," Qiye nodded, hesitated for a while before speaking, "Actually, this is my mother's favorite flower when she was alive."

"Although I've never seen her before, sometimes I miss her very much when I think about it. Then I tell myself that I must remember her," she paused, "If I don't remember, maybe no one in the world will remember her."

Maybe his father still remembers it, but Qiye always felt that his father, who reunited soon after his mother passed away, might not have that deep love for his mother.Moreover, he is now living a peaceful life with his new wife, so he probably has very little time to miss his deceased wife.

Akashi looked at Nanaya with a sad smile, and didn't speak easily.

The two continued to walk in the courtyard, and when they passed a rose plant, he stopped: "Don't reject roses just because you like camellias, Qiye."

Qiye was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the blooming roses, the flowers were more eye-catching than the camellias.

Akashi's words were a little unclear, but she understood what he meant before she asked.

Today's stepmother's perfume smells like roses.

Akashi is as perceptive as ever, isn't he afraid of making her unhappy by talking about such a sensitive topic?Qiye turned her head and thought for a while, as if she didn't have any bad emotions after understanding what he meant.Perhaps it is precisely because of understanding that I dare to give such advice.

"It's not considered rejection now," Qiye pursed her lips, and finally sighed softly, "But maybe I will try to like it in the future."

The two continued walking along the path, and saw a pavilion ahead.After discussing, they decided to take a look in the pavilion, but when they got to the pavilion, they saw a box of shogi on the stone table inside. It seemed that the chess player should have left soon.

Qiye glanced at Akashi, saw a hint of excitement hidden in his indifferent face, and couldn't help but smiled and said: "Want to play a game? Zheng Jun."

"Oh?" Akashi raised his eyes, "You can also play shogi?"

"That's right. If you are level, there probably won't be a situation where "the fool will succeed himself." Qiye tilted his head, took out a tissue to wipe the stone bench, and then sat on it.

The first game between the two started in this Japanese-style courtyard.

A few minutes later, Nanaya scored a chess horse, and heard Akashi chuckle softly: "Your chess skills are better than I imagined."

"So I'm not very good in your heart?" Qiye raised her eyebrows, unmoved by the other party's "flattery".

Akashi made a move, then raised his head and looked at her with a smile: "No, it's better."

Qiye was slightly stunned, and a glance fell into his bright red eyes, which were as hot as flames, but full of tenderness.

The heart skipped an untimely beat.

She took a breath, tried to block out the distracting thoughts in her mind, and focused on the chess game.It was her turn to make this move, how should she go?

After thinking for a while, she put down the chess piece, and seeing Akashi's next move, she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

The move just now was a bit flustered, there was obviously a better way, and it also created a good opportunity for him to attack, I really want to regret the move!

One move is one game, especially in front of Akashi, it is really difficult to win the game after making a wrong move.

When Akashi was about to become king, Nanayo said awkwardly: "I admit defeat."

Maybe it was because he finally met an even-matched opponent, Akashi seemed very interested.

"This kind of tactic is simply," Qiye said silently, "to win by any means."

She seriously suspected that the other party's compliments just now were intentional!The purpose was to disturb her mind, but she didn't expect that she escaped the first wave or failed to escape the second wave.What the hell is this tactic supposed to be called, a beauty trick?or something else?In short, she was too weak to be recruited!

"It's not a tactic, it's a strategy." Even though he didn't mean it at the time, Akashi couldn't help joking along with her thoughts when he was a little annoyed at the usually indifferent Nanaya.

you win.

Qiye felt that she was not as good as the other party in terms of eloquence, and suddenly thought of a sentence that her classmates often said-"Why do the weak fight!?"

"Just joking," Akashi looked at Nanaya who was speechless and stared at the sky, and chuckled, "What I just said was the truth."

However, the damage done to her heart has been irreparable.Seven nights silently slandered.

"Let's play chess again if you have a chance. It's getting late today." After tens of seconds, Qiye calmed down and returned to her usual indifferent and elegant self.

Akashi nodded, and the two packed the chess horse into the horse box, and walked out of the pavilion side by side.

"Graduation is one year away, has Nanaya thought about where to go to junior high school?" On the way back to the tea room, Akashi asked seemingly inadvertently.

"Probably choose between Diguang and Bingdi." Qiye tilted his head, "But you should choose to go to Diguang."

She knew a little about these two schools, and also knew that Diguang was a giant in basketball.

Akashi nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If there is no other arrangement, how about going to Teiko with me, Nanaya."

"Let me think about it." Qiye didn't give an answer immediately, but began to think in his heart.

She should agree, because she suddenly felt that walking side by side with the boy beside her was very good. (Please support the original version for the rest of the content)
