Childhood sweetheart
The male protagonist: Zhan Yushen
The female protagonist: Zuo Shanshan
Chapter 7 "I'm sorry!"
With great difficulty, Dong Yufei finally waited for Shanshan's return at bedtime and hurriedly bowed deeply to her. , to express one's apologies.
"Gah? Why are you apologizing to me?" She had just said goodbye to Zhan Yushen. Shanshan's heart and soul was still in the romance of watching the night scene, and she was a little overwhelmed by Dong Yufei's sudden behavior.
"If you still remember some of the things I said before... then please erase them and don't take them to heart." She has never been so upset like now. She was so wrong.
"Why did you say that suddenly?"
"I was wrong. Although a long-term love can easily end like this, you and your little brother are definitely not included in this situation. You two can definitely never end. To continue your relationship."
"But..." Still remembering the series of expert words, Shanshan was a little confused about the situation.
"There's nothing good about it."
"But...why?" I can't figure out how Dong Yufei could temporarily extrapolate what she said herself?
"Listen to me, the emotional foundation between you two is no weaker than others. On the contrary, the bond between you is much deeper than others. Also, the reason why you did not express your affection for each other clearly is because of your tacit understanding. I have already made it clear to you that when both of you know it, this is no longer the most important thing."
"Really?" She didn't know how to describe her feelings for her little brother. She was really like Dong. Is this what Yufei said? She just felt that... whenever the two of them met once in a while, it felt as if they had never been separated. They were still so familiar with each other. She was busy telling what happened after they broke up, while the little brother was quiet. Listening to her quietly... "Of course it's true, Zuo, you can trust me 100% this time. Even if you may not be able to understand the love between a woman and a man, it doesn't matter, because the two of you will end up in the end." We are destined to be together. The separation of time and space is not the focus or importance to you, just because your hearts are already tightly connected together."
"Why are you like this all of a sudden? Say? "The difference between before and after is too great.
"Seeing is believing!" Dong Yufei smiled, "You probably don't know, but when you are with your little brother, you become so beautiful, as if you are radiating light, which is dazzling."
Really? Shanshan subconsciously touched his face.
"Zuo, if my previous words have caused you trouble, I must apologize to you. At that time, although I often heard you talking about your childhood, I couldn't understand the situation between you. I saw you even People who rarely have friends of the opposite sex always think that you are trapped in your feelings because you carry on your childhood memories, so they instill some uneasy ideas into you. They thought they were helping you, but who knows? ...I was so wrong."
tilted his head and listened carefully.
"Remember what I said? Only those who don't regard love as a necessity of life can survive the love separation between two places. I forgot that you are such a race: practical! Don't regard love as a necessity of life, because Your love is in your heart, even if you are separated, this kind of affection will still exist in your heart. Once you identify your little brother in your heart, you will no longer be flexible. Romance...except for your little brother, I'm afraid you don't know how to write the word romance."
's words...are they a compliment or a criticism?
Shanshan was a little troubled, not knowing how to define what Dong Yufei said.
"In short, not only are you a stubborn person, your little brother is even more stubborn than you. I believe that whatever he says must be a promise he will keep, even if we are separated. , or ten years, because the bond between you is not just a joke in childhood, but you have recognized each other from the very beginning of meeting, and deeply carved that affection in your heart.”
Dong Yufei changed her preface to express her approval, and a shy smile appeared on her kind and delicate face.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about us anymore, what about you? Why did you suddenly leave without saying a word?" She almost forgot about it.
"I'm not in the habit of being a light bulb." Dong Yufei shrugged.
"Why did you say that?" Her pink cheeks had been dyed a gorgeous pink before she knew it.
"Originally, I will also help you clear the place and give you two some time alone. How about it? Is that kind enough? I originally wanted to use a no-entry railing to surround the small garden to make it easier for you to do things, but... I was afraid that being too obvious would arouse the curiosity of others, so I gave up this idea. How about no one come in to disturb you?" There is a lot of room for expression in the meaning, and Dong Yufei's evil thoughts are all hidden in his words.
"Dong, Yu, Fei!" The pink color deepened a little more, Shanshan stamped her feet.
"Oh... why are you so ashamed? We meet again after a long separation. It's natural for me to meet you. Who cares whether you are playing first base, second base, or third base? As long as no one sees you, even if you want to do something you love to do." No one can care about it."
"Your thoughts are really evil." Shanshan was too embarrassed to find words to protest.
"I don't believe you will never do it." Dong Yufei was pragmatic.
"You..."
"What about me?" Dong Yufei looked like she was in need of K.
stared at her, Shanshan was speechless.
Dong Yufei ignored her, picked up the magazine, and exited the battlefield gloriously with a victorious look.
In this round, Zuo Shanshan clearly lost.
"Doctor, how is the situation?"
"No, her cancer cells have spread."
"Cancer cells?!" Kurahara Shinhiko was completely stunned.
"It was discovered too late. The patient was too old and had weak resistance. In addition, he had previously insisted not to undergo chemotherapy. In this situation... we were really powerless."
Later, when did the doctor leave? Kurahara Shinhiko He didn't know it, but he had been stunned by the doctor's verdict. After he digested the message left by the doctor, he had stood there blankly for a long time. How could
be like this? He thought that his mother-in-law was old and anemic, so she fainted and was sent to the hospital. Who knew...who knew...cancer? ! How can
be cancer ? How could it be cancer? Why didn't you tell your mother-in-law that she had cancer? There was no reason for her not to say it, let alone her insistence not to undergo chemotherapy? This is simply seeking death!
There are so many things to think about, and Kurahara Shinhiko’s heart is in a mess.
That's right, he doesn't appreciate his mother-in-law's personality. She is headstrong, domineering, serious, and doesn't understand humor... But no matter how annoying she is, no matter what, she is always the mother-in-law who raised him! In his heart, she was like a giantess who couldn't be knocked down. Why was she... cancer right now? This is so sudden!
"Mr. Kurahara, Grandma Ogata is looking for you." Special care brings the old master's message.
Standing in front of the ward, Kurahara Shinhiko sorted out his chaotic emotions before opening the door and entering.
"Mother-in-law."
"Put your sympathy away, I'm not dead yet." The cold tone was just like the tone that Akiko Mikata would have.
What an unlovable patient! Kurahara Shinhiko kept muttering in his heart that most of the original sadness had gone.
"Isn't it hard to sit in the head's seat, Shinhiko?" Akiko Ogata got straight to the point.
In the past few years, although she has been indifferent, it does not mean that she does not know anything.
How could she not know what kind of temper these two children have? Xinyan is a playful kid, but although he is a good general, he can't settle down. Overtly or covertly, he often blames Shen for everything. Come to think of it, Xinyan is afraid that during the past few days when Shen was asking to leave, The complaints were endless.
"Mother-in-law?" Kurahara Shinhiko didn't understand what it meant, so he had to laugh along with her.
"Go and get Shen back."
Such a direct order made Kurahara Shinhiko pause for a moment.
Did he hear correctly? Mother-in-law is talking about Shen? That Zhan Yushen who she hadn't mentioned since he left?
"What? Do you want to continue to sit as the head of the house?"
's tone of "everyone knows it all" made Kurahara Shinhiko cough twice in embarrassment. He knew that all the things about fishing in troubled waters cannot be escaped from his mother-in-law. Eye.
"I will send someone to find him immediately." The respectful tone was mostly filled with secret joy! Finally free!
"I want "you" to find him and come back. ” Akiko Ogata woke him up.
Kurahara Shinhiko realized in his heart. Yes, how could a casual lobbyist win over Shen?
"Yes, I'll go right away, but..." Kurahara Shinhiko hesitated. Some things still need to be clarified first. Otherwise, how can we increase the leverage of persuasion?
"Say." Akiko Ogata frowned.
"About the blind date...I think..." The main reason for Shen to leave must always be resolved first.
"Don't worry about it, I have my own plan." Waving her hand, Ogata Akiko motioned for him to leave.
"Yes." Shen, I have tried my best to fight for you. Kurahara Shinhiko confessed in his heart.
"Wait a minute." Akiko Ogata suddenly spoke out, calling out to Kurohara Shinhiko's departure.
"Is there anything else?"
"I want him to bring back the little girl from the Zuo family."
Kurahara Shinhiko's jaw almost dropped.
Seeing his surprised look, Akiko Mikata glared angrily, "Why don't you go quickly?"
Thanks to Shao Qi, Shanshan finally understood what it felt like to become famous overnight.
That feeling...that feeling is really...terrible, terrible!
Oh my god, she has never faced such a terrible thing in her life. It was just a few photos. How could it cause such a big sensation? She is still her, the original Zuo Shanshan. Why are people suddenly curious about her?
The most exaggerated thing is that even her classmates who have been together for three years have noticed her. Pairs of caring eyes linger on her from time to time, as if she has an extra tail, causing her to prepare for the garden party. I was a little nervous during the meal and couldn't do anything at all. Finally, amid the whispers that she could clearly hear, she couldn't bear it anymore and decided to go to the photography club's exhibition venue in person to see what Shao Qi had photographed her like.
This was definitely a wrong decision, because such a decision put her in a predicament from which she could not escape!
Frames of photos were displayed at the exhibition venue, and the most eye-catching one was the work arranged by the president of the photography club. There were five photos in a row. The protagonist of each photo was her, Zuo Shanshan!
had to admit that the image of her under Shao Qi's lens was something even Shanshan herself found strange.
How could he turn an ordinary girl into such a beautiful woman? Especially the focus of the whole scene, that particularly enlarged photo, it was the picture of her and her little brother embracing each other. Did he have some unknown magic? Otherwise, how could he make the photo look so beautiful?
Before Shanshan had time to figure out the mystery, the members of the photography club were like cats seeing fish, and they surrounded Shanshan from all directions that Shanshan could not imagine. Each of them had the same purpose, they all wanted to make an appointment with her and ask her to be their model. Surrounded by these members, some people who came to visit also discovered her existence and got a glimpse of her true face in Lushan. The crowd of people's curiosity squeezed her in the middle, making her unable to move forward or retreat and in great embarrassment.
"Drink." Shanshan exhaled. Now just thinking about the scene at that time makes her scared.
"Are you okay?" Zhan Yushen's concern was evident on his face.
At this moment, they were escaping back to Zhan Yushen's residence in the hotel. In order to escape the disaster, Shanshan even left the class garden party. She was really frightened.
"Fortunately you are here.” Shanshan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, hugged him tightly, burying her little face in his waist and sighing.
He was like her dragon-slaying prince. When she felt scared and uneasy, he would hold him. The sword appeared gracefully with an upright attitude... Although his appearance made the scene even more out of control, his calm and skillful leadership and indifferent attitude came into effect at the right time, just like Moses separated the Red Sea. With the momentum, the human wall was automatically cut open, and they were able to leave through this passage... "It's okay." Standing by the bed, Zhan Yushen let Shanshan hug her tightly, stroking her hair, as if I want to smooth away all the uneasiness for her.
"If you hadn't come, I really don't know what I would have done?" After calming down, I started to think it was a bit funny when I thought about it. "Only now do I realize that I also have the ability to create chaos."
Shanshan's snickering tone made Zhan Yushen laugh.
Released the hand that was hugging Zhan Yushen, Shanshan lay back, using his hand as a pillow, and fell into his own thoughts comfortably.
Zhan Yu was careful not to disturb her, but dialed the phone and asked the room service to bring them some snacks.
"These people are really not ordinary blind followers." Shanshan suddenly said: "Because of a few photos, they decided that I must be a stunning beauty. What a bunch of boring people."
felt that the empty space beside him was sinking. , Shanshan looked back and found that Zhan Yushen's posture was much more comfortable than hers. Unlike her, her legs were still under the bed.
Obediently, Shanshan immediately took off his shoes and followed suit. He crawled to Zhan Yushen's side and lay down on his hands and feet, just like the two of them sleeping in each other's arms when they were young.
"Or, they just discovered the real you." Looking at her childish behavior, Zhan Yushen felt a little sad in his heart.
The treasure he regarded as a treasure, after all, people still discovered her beauty... "What do you mean? ?" Snuggled next to him, Shan Shancai didn't bother to think about it. She just wanted the answer directly.
"Shanshan, are you still willing to be my little brother's bride?" After seeing the photos Shao Qi took of Shanshan, it was necessary to ask this question again.
Two red clouds quickly appeared on her fair cheeks.
"Little brother, why did you suddenly ask this?" The girl's reserve prevented her from facing this kind of problem as calmly as she did when she was five years old.
"It's nothing, I just thought that maybe my little Shanshan would meet someone of similar age and with similar interests...
Having a pure heart does not mean that she is dull or stupid. Shanshan turned around and fell down. After getting on Zhan Yushen's body, he covered his mouth with his hands in displeasure, interrupting his unfinished words.
"There's no such thing as a 'maybe'!" " Shanshan protested angrily and loudly, her eyes turned red in the next second, and her slightly pursed mouth showed her grievance, "Do you have a new girlfriend in Japan?"
"No." Moved gently Zhan Yushen opened his little hand covering his mouth and murmured.
"Then why don't you want me?" Child-like clear eyes looked at him aggrievedly.
Zhan Yushen's words could only lead her to this conclusion.
"That's not what I meant." Zhan Yushen sighed and held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his heart.
"Then what do you mean?" The voice coming from the chest sounded muffled.
"I'm just worried. If there is someone who sees your kindness and beauty like me, and you have a good impression of him... I'm afraid, I will lose you." After seeing Shao Qi's photo taken by Shanshan After taking the photo, such doubts have been lingering in his mind, and he can't help but care about it.
A little lazy, a little childish... The boy named Shao Qi has mastered the charming and naive qualities of Shanshan very well. I believe he has discovered the qualities of Shanshan that are worthy of being cherished, and Shanshan seemed to have a good impression of him... Thinking of this, he really couldn't help but worry about the follow-up development.
"Idiot!"
The scolding voice came muffled from his chest. Zhan Yushen was actually stunned by the word "idiot".
"Idiot, idiot! Little brother is an idiot!" This time, instead of scolding, Shanshan raised his pink fist and beat Ang Zang's body hard.
"Shan Shan?" It is said that dripping water can penetrate stone. The strength of Shan Shan's pink fist is really too much for people to bear. Zhan Yushen turned over and the two people immediately switched positions.
"You can't push me to others." Shanshan, who was restrained by him, had a tearful expression. "We have already agreed that we will be together forever. Do you want to go back on your word? Don't let me be your bride?"
"Shan Shan..." Staring at her eyes as bright as stars, Zhan Yu spoke carefully. He murmured softly, showing his sincerity that has never changed, "I will never regret it. In this life, I, Zhan Yushen, only want to marry you."
The promise comes from the heart, and the sincerity is clear. , the deep affection in the hidden meaning is so sticky that it cannot be dissolved, and it is combined into the most touching poem, which makes Shanshan red-eyed.
"Then how can you doubt me?" The mist in his eyes reached saturation, and round tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
"I didn't." Zhan Yushen felt distressed and quickly wiped away her tears.
"You just have it." Shanshan's accusation of grievance.
Seeing her delicate and delicate look with tears in her eyes, Zhan Yushen's heart tightened and he could no longer speak.
broke free from his grasp and hugged him tightly. "Little brother, I believe in you, so you can't doubt my feelings. I, Zuo Shanshan, will rely on you in this life."
"Shanshan..." Zhan Yushen hugged her and was firm to her. There are so many things to say, but I just can't find the words to say.
He hopes so too, but she is so young, and when it comes to feelings... "Stop treating me like a child, I am almost eighteen years old." Now, you know what you are talking about, stop saying things I don’t want to hear.” Knowing his thoughts, she put down her words in a kind and coquettish way.
Seeing his kindness acting like a little bandit, Zhan Yushen suddenly felt relieved.
In the future... no matter how it develops, at least, he has her heart at the moment. Before letting others take her away, he has to wait for her well, and it is the most unnecessary thing to make her heartbroken.
"I just won't say it." He tapped Gonggui's lips briefly, Zhan Yushen agreed and then turned over and lay down.
Zhan Yushen's rare intimate gesture made Shanshan's face turn pink with a satisfied smile. Shanshan stroked her red lips with one hand and curled up on his chest An Zheng.
The quiet atmosphere lasted for a long time. As if thinking of something, Shanshan suddenly spoke out!
"Brother? Do you plan to stay in the hotel all the time?"
In order to spend more time with her, Zhan Yushen simply stayed in a hotel near her school. The two used her time after school to do many things that they thought they would do in the past. It's a luxury! Shopping, chatting, drinking afternoon tea...even staying in relative silence, staying in his room and reading their own books, or, like now, the two of them hug each other quietly and feel each other's presence.
is boring, right? To others it would be hopelessly boring, but to these two people who had been separated for a long time, it was not the same thing.
Because of the long separation, they cherish the time together like this. What they want is the feeling of having each other by their side, as if the other half of the body returns to their own side, and each other's company makes each other feel more comfortable. The mind feels peaceful and at ease. Perhaps, this way of getting along without words seems the most boring to others, but they both believe that as long as they can be by each other's side, it is the most beautiful thing. To them, words... that is no longer the case. The most important thing!
"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Zhan Yushen was a little surprised.
"I think it would be better for you to find a house nearby and rent it." She has been thinking about this idea for a long time, but she was too busy organizing the Luo Garden Party to hold it back. Now she has to plan carefully. For a moment.
"Oh?" Zhan Yushen listened attentively.
"Brother, it's not an option for you to stay in a hotel all the time. It will cost a lot of money. Moreover, you are staying in a five-star hotel, so the cost must be very "expensive.""Thinking about the cost issue, Shanshan, who is studying business as an undergraduate, couldn't help but start to calculate the cost of staying in a hotel these days.
After doing the math for a long time, the amount settled made Shanshan wrinkle his little face, as if he was about to cry.
"How?" Seeing her crying face, Zhan Yushen asked deliberately.
"It's over, little brother, we will go bankrupt and have no money to hold a wedding."
"How do you say that?" Zhan Yushen found it a little funny, especially when he heard her talking about "wedding", the warmth made her feel The smile in my heart couldn't help but expand a bit.
"Now you have nothing to lose. Even if I dig out all of Xiaozhu's money, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay the full rent." Shanshan's face was full of distress, and he became even more "depressed" after thinking about Xiaozhu's original mission. , "My little pig's money was originally intended to buy a very beautiful ring for you... Little brother, if you want to leave the Ogata family, why don't you take the money and abscond? I heard from mommy that they are a very rich family. How about you?" You can leave after you have some money!"
was originally moved by the use of her piggy, but after hearing about it, Zhan Yushen couldn't help but laugh.
"You are still laughing, but you have no money to pay the rent." Shanshan was still distressed.
There was a knock on the door, interrupting everything Zhan Yushen wanted to explain.
"Who?" Shanshan was stunned for a moment, unable to think of anyone who would come to Zhan Yushen.
"Room service." As if hearing Shan Shan's question, someone called out the door.
"He's bringing snacks." Zhan Yushen reminded her that he called her specifically just now.
Shanshan rushed forward, trying to stop Zhan Yushen from opening the door!
"No, we have no money, we can't waste it on snacks."
It was too late. While she was talking, Zhan Yushen had opened the door and turned to tease her.
"Don't say stupid things." Before Shanshan wanted to argue, Zhan Yushen turned back. However, it was obvious that when he saw the person in front of him clearly, his whole body froze unconsciously.
Besides the service staff who delivered the food, there was another person standing next to him!
Kurahara Shinhiko?
"Why don't you invite me in?"
put on an overly bright smile, and while the waiter was bringing snacks in, Kurahara Shinhiko came in uninvited.
"What are you doing here?" Compared to that smiling face, Zhan Yushen seemed a bit unapproachable and cold.
"Tsk, don't be like this. We haven't seen each other for so many days. Do you miss me?" The smile became even warmer when he saw Shanshan standing next to Zhan Yushen, "That's great, yours My little lover happens to be here, and now things are much easier to handle."
In fact, Kurahara Shinhiko could persuade Zhan Yushen in another way, maybe it was the policy of mourning soldiers or something, but most of the time, He just couldn't control his desire to tease Zhan Yushen.
Even he himself felt it was a bit unreasonable, but there was nothing he could do! Adding more emotion to that cold face has always been his passion. It seems that ever since he first saw Zhan Yushen in that TV competition, teasing this cousin has become his greatest pleasure in life. It seems that If you don't tease him when you meet him, then you feel sorry for yourself! Although, in his heart he really admires this cousin Ashin.
"What do you mean?" Zhan Yushen intuitively hid Shanshan behind his back.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just here with news." He spread his hands and the smile on his face was innocent.
"Speak."
Wow, the aura of the word "Speak" is really similar to that of my mother-in-law!
Kurahara Shinhiko was sighing in his heart about the mystery and magic of genetics and . He accidentally glanced at the service staff, who was so frightened that he retreated from the screen. He smiled in his heart while offering choices carelessly. , "There are two kinds of news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Zhan Yushen looked at him coldly and asked him to make up his own mind.
"Okay, okay, I just said that, don't look at me like this." Waving his hands, Kurahara Shinhiko looked like he couldn't stand it, "Let me tell you the bad news first, that is, you still can't get rid of the Mikata family. As the heir, you must go back with me, and you must take your little lover with you.”
Although he did not explicitly refuse, Zhan Yushen’s cold expression showed his intention.
"Little brother." Shanshan, who had not spoken a word since Kurohara Shinhiko appeared, tugged on Zhan Yushen's sleeves.
has worked hard on the Japanese language over the years, so that her Japanese knowledge is enough to understand the conversation between them. Unwilling to let Zhan Yushen leave her again, Shanshan immediately thought of a good way to solve the housing problem and get rid of the entanglement of these Japanese relatives.
"Since you didn't take anything with you when you left, it shouldn't be too much to ask this person to pay for our room, right?" Thinking that Kurahara Shinhiko couldn't understand Chinese, Shanshan suggested slightly excitedly, "Anyway He must be able to pay it, so let's find a way to trick him into staying here, and then we can sneak away, okay?"
After Shanshan finished speaking, she saw Kurahara Shinhiko looking at her with a strange expression.
"No way? Shen, your little lover doesn't know anything about you?"
The standard Mandarin of is comparable to Beijing movies is amazing, but what makes Shanshan's ears harsh is the meaning behind the words.
felt that they were talking about someone she was unfamiliar with, but that person was her little brother! Is there something she doesn't know about her little brother? ...Don't like this, she doesn't like this... "Shanshan, don't listen to his nonsense." Zhan Yushen patted her hand, trying to erase the uneasiness in her heart, "I just wanted to tell you, although I I didn’t take away a single cent of the Ogata family’s fortune, but I was paid for my position, and the Ogata family had never treated me badly in terms of salary.”
’s gentle tone and gentle look almost gave way. Yuan Xinyan's eyes dropped.
"But that's yen , is that a lot?" Shanshan was puzzled. Japan is world-famous for its high level of consumption, but its currency is small. Can you save a lot of money this way?
"At least seven figures every month, don't you think that's a lot?" Cooperating with Shanshan, Kurahara Shinhiko still spoke in standard Mandarin, but his playful tone was not really good.
Kurohara Shinhiko's question made Shanshan's reaction start to convert, seven digits... one, ten, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand... wow, millions. If calculated based on the most basic one million, then After converting one million based on the exchange rate... "Wow, little brother, how much money can you make in a month?" Shanshan was dumbfounded.
"It's okay." Zhan Yushen smiled tenderly, "Since I didn't have any other expenses, I used the money to make some investments. The profits from those investments were pretty good, and I made a little profit."
Kurahara Shinhiko I almost choked to death with these humble words.
"Only make a little money?" Do you have the nerve to say that those profits that double, double and then double are "a little" money? "
Zang Yuan Xinyan shook his head at Shanshan, "Little lover, your little brother is really not ordinary modest in his words."
Borrow, double and then double? ! Such precise investment by
made Shanshan feel respectful. Even though she didn't quite understand the exact amount, she could imagine that it was an astronomical sum that was unimaginable?
"It turns out that the little brother is a rich man." Suddenly she felt a little irritable - these were all things she didn't know.
"This money is for future use, so I didn't tell you." Holding her little hand tightly, Zhan Yushen just wanted to appease her heart and didn't want her to have bad thoughts.
"Oh." Shanshan responded, but said nothing, thinking in his heart: in the future? Does it mean their wedding fund?
This thought made the unpleasant feeling in my heart disappear a little bit.
"Don't listen to what he said, huh?" Knowing that she was no longer trying to get into trouble, Zhan Yushen touched her cheek and smiled at her.
knew that it was time to put an end to Kurahara Shinhiko's messing around, and saw that Zhan Yushen's originally gentle face suddenly turned cold when facing Kurahara Shinhiko.
"Have you finished telling me why you came here? If so, I'll ask you to leave."
The change in attitude made Kurahara Shinhiko a little psychologically unbalanced. "Oh, there's another good news."
Seeing his mysterious pause, Zhan Yushen just waited expressionlessly.
"My mother-in-law has cancer! It has spread.”
dropped the message decisively in one breath. While Zhan Yushen was digesting it and had yet to react, Kurahara Shinhiko smartly rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and prepared to run away. "I live next door. If you make any decisions, remember to inform me."
Before the door closed tightly, the last sentence came - "It's up to you whether you go back or not."
Chapter 8 "Little brother?" Shan Shan looked at him a little confused.
Did she hear it wrong? That weirdo said that my little brother’s grandma has cancer. What kind of good news is this?
Sitting back on the edge of the bed slumped, Zhan Yushen's heart was full of bitterness.
It turns out that he still can't get rid of it after all.
Shanshan went to lock the door, but when he turned around, he saw Zhan Yushen looking lonely and lonely.
"Little brother..." Shanshan was a little worried.
Looking at Shan Shan, Zhan Yushen waved to her with a lonely face.
Shanshan walked over and stood obediently between his legs, while Zhan Yushen was like a drowning man seeing driftwood, holding her tightly.
"She is my only blood relative, and even she... is leaving me..." He shouldn't feel sad. After all, as early as six years old, he chose to protect his heart and no longer care for others. Emotionally devoted. But why does he still feel bad now?
"Little brother, you still have me... and you still have Shanshan." Shanshan was sad.
She felt the pain and all the negative emotions in his heart. Shanshan was reluctant to give up, hugging the person in her chest, hoping to give him the strength he needed to soothe the pain in his heart.
cancer? What a great move!
This kind of thing happened, and he knew in his heart that now... he had to go back, but this time, the responsibility for the entire Gogata family would definitely fall on him. If he wanted to leave by then, he would probably never leave again. No more. But...he can't stay there! If he really goes back, what about his kindness? After leaving, when will we see his goodness again?
"Little brother, don't leave me alone this time. I want to go with you." As if sensing his thoughts, Shanshan said this out of the blue.
"Shan Shan?" The tempting proposal increased his psychological burden.
Of course he wanted to have her company, but he couldn't bear to let her leave her hometown and live a life in a foreign land, especially the intrigue and cannibalistic profit-seeking circle at the head of a large family called Goxing. If she were as simple as her, She was in it, and if he didn't pay attention at all, the ostracism would definitely make her suffer a lot, and he couldn't do that.
knew Zhan Yushen's intention to object, Shanshan hurriedly said before he lectured: "Brother, I'm serious, I want to go with you. Didn't that person just say that? He wants me to go with you. Go back."
"No, I'm not worried." Reason overcame emotion, and Zhan Yushen finally refused.
"What is there to worry about? You are here, right?"
"Shan Shan, things are not entirely that simple. There are many things you didn't expect. Here, there are your friends and you Your parents, everything you know, and your studies? These are all problems." Zhan Yushen analyzed the reality, "Your roots are here. I want you to put everything aside and follow me there. This is so unfair to you, and I can't stay with you all the time. I will worry when you are alone."
"Little brother, what you said makes sense, but you. Don’t you think it’s too much or too far to think about it now? I’m just going to have a look with you. Maybe we’ll be back soon.”
’s naive argument made Zhan Yushen shake his head, but Shan Shan. Shan sat down on his lap and continued.
"Besides, even if things develop so badly that you can't come back, that doesn't matter. Just let me stay by your side! Just communicate with dad and mommy. As long as you are here, they won't Objection." Shanshan said with full confidence.
"Where are your friends?" Zhan Yushen reminded her.
"I don't usually have many close friends. Over there, I can communicate with Feifei."
"Where is the school?"
"I can transfer to another school. I will go to school when you go to work. You don't have to worry about me being bullied at home."
"What about other things? Language, public sentiment... …What about those others?” Under her tricks, it would be a lie to say that her intention to refuse would not waver.
"This aspect is not a problem, because I have been studying Japanese very seriously in the past few years. I may not be able to speak very well at first, but my listening is passable. As for other things... as long as I can be with you, I think , I can get used to it slowly." Shanshan smiled brightly.
"Shan Shan..." Zhan Yushen sighed, feeling a little helpless with her.
"Brother, don't be too busy thinking about rejecting my words. I am very serious. You just said that if I went to Japan with you, you would be worried when I was alone. Then I live alone now. "Prince, aren't you worried about being alone here and missing you? And... you are alone over there..."
pursed her lips, her kind face was a little lonely, and Zhan Yushen hugged her. , gently caressing her silky hair with his cheek, listening attentively to her mood.
"...People are also very worried. I often wonder, will you fall in love with someone else? How will you live alone there? Just now, when you were talking to that person, I was so jealous, do you know?"
"How could it be?" Feeling sorry for her expression of regret, Zhan Yushen helped her push away a few strands of hair scattered on her forehead.
"He knows the little brother that I don't know, the little brother when I was separated... I don't like this, I don't like it!" Shanshan protested angrily and made a cautious statement, "Anyway, I don't want others to compare. I know you better, I don’t want to be separated from you again──I don’t want to!”
It took a lot of effort to get together, and it took a lot of effort for a restless heart to rest on his heart. This time, she won’t let it go. He left her side and said nothing... She was not willing to taste the loneliness alone anymore.
Why doesn’t Zhan Yushen understand Shan Shan’s mood? It's just that... all the words of persuasion that wanted to stop her were involuntarily interrupted in her eyes that looked forward to and longed for, or maybe it was because of her own little selfishness.
sighed lightly, Zhan Yushen knew that this time he would not try to impress her.
I hope that this decision... is the right one... Due to the school anniversary, Shao Qi looked forward to the next day's class because he had to make up for one day... Originally, as soon as he arrived at school this morning, he thought hurriedly He gave her the developed photos, but, as if to fight against his anxiety, he had been busy with club affairs since early in the morning. It was only now that he returned to class. Unexpectedly, his classmates told him ──"Zuo Shanshan asks for leave!"
asks for leave? How could this happen? What happened?
Shao Qi didn't know why. He wanted to ask Dong Yufei for the reason, but he didn't know that she didn't come to class today, which made him think about Zuo Shanshan's reason for taking personal leave all day long.
Just like that, Shao Qi spent the day absent-mindedly. He had just come out of the student union and was about to go back to class. Unexpectedly? Isn't that Dong Yufei?
With sharp eyes, he caught sight of Dong Yufei's figure, and Shao Qi quickly chased after her.
"Hey, isn't this our great talent Shao?" Dong Xunfei had just come back from the airport, and she didn't expect to see him.
"Stop making fun of me. Where is Zuo Shanshan?"
"He's gone." He shrugged as if it was a matter of course.
"Gone? What do you mean?" Shao Qi couldn't understand what she meant at all.
"I went to Japan. Do you know Japan? It's the Japanese country called the Japanese pirates in history, the one that always competed with us for Diaoyutai."
"Thank you for your comment. I also know that its time zone is different from ours. It's GMT+9, one hour ahead of us." Shao Qi rolled his eyes angrily.
"Wow, that's great. Talented scholar Shao Da also knows such profound knowledge. My cousin who is in kindergarten can't even figure out the time zone?" Dong Yufei mocked him and deliberately clapped her hands and applauded. encourage.
Does Dong Yufei have to speak like this with a gun and a stick? It's really not cute at all!
Shao Qi was so angry that he could only endure it, "Then can I ask, why did she suddenly go to Japan without saying a word?"
"Hey, why do I have to tell you?"
"Miss Dong "Classmate Yufei, please, please, okay?" Shao Qi thought he couldn't tell her. "Who knows what she was thinking, but she took several days off and won't be here in the short term. He'll be back... Huh? Why are you in such a hurry to find her?"
Shao Qi didn't answer her, just immersed in his own thoughts.
I didn't want to say anything more to him, but seeing the frustration on his face... a rare sympathy overflowed inexplicably.
"Forget it, there is no grass anywhere in the world, just look away."
"What are you talking about?" Shao Qi jumped up and quickly denied it loudly.
"You deny it again?" Dong Yufei glanced at him coldly. She wanted to say a few more words to him, but after thinking about it... "Huh, forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Look at you. You probably haven't noticed it yet..." Dong Yufei muttered to himself unconsciously.
"What are you talking about?" Shao Qi vaguely understood, but he quickly denied it.
Ha! Unexpectedly, Shao Da Talent, who is popular on campus, is an emotionally closed-minded and emotional Dabaidu? This is good, it saves him the pain of losing, hmm... This is what is called stupid blessings, right?
Dong Yufei laughed in her heart, but still remembered to give him some wise advice.
"Because you are so sincere, I can tell you that although Shanshan has taken a few days off, I'm afraid it won't be long before her family comes to handle the transfer procedures for her."
"Transferring school ?" Shao Qi shouted strangely, interrupting her.
This is really unbelievable. Only one day later, Zuo Shanshan went abroad and had to transfer to another school?
"This tells us that we should never underestimate the power of a woman for love. For her love, she chose to go away from her sweetheart... When I say this, you should understand, right?" Dong Yufei was suspicious. She looked at him as if she looked down on his Zen understanding.
"She has someone she likes?" I can't describe that feeling, it's weird.
"Don't make such a fuss. Anyway, if you want to see her again, I advise you... save it." She patted him on the back to comfort him, and Dong Yufei left gracefully.
looked at Dong Yufei's departure in bewilderment, and Tian Zhiqiazi, who did not know the feeling of love, was filled with sadness.
She had someone she liked. For that person, she chose to go away from home with him. After he discovered her beauty and kindness... left? She just left like this?
Sour and sour, what kind of mood is this?
It was not until she arrived at the ancestral home of the Goxing family that Shanshan began to have the most basic understanding of the entire Goxing family. It was only then that she understood how prominent a position Zhan Yushen held.
Of course, if someone like her, who only has a superficial understanding of it, describes it, the Gogata family is really rich and outrageous! Not to mention the countless properties in the name that are worth remembering, nor the noble titles that are worth the trouble. The most unbelievable and exaggerated thing for Shanshan is that they actually have their own senator? !
Senator, isn’t he elected by the people? Moreover, it wasn't just one or two. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.
On that day, they had just arrived in Japan. When they were at the airport, an extraordinary large car came to pick them up. It was just the extended limo. There were two cars in front and behind the large car. Escort, this... is a bit unimaginable. In unimaginable confusion, they arrived at the ancestral house of Mikata, which was an antique and purely Japanese-style building. Then, she followed Zhan Yushen inexplicably to participate in a meeting.
That meeting was held because of Zhan Yushen's return, in order to explain to him everyone's movements when he was away. It was also because of this meeting that Shanshan learned the identities of these participants. Amidst the bursts of surprise, she realized what an incredible big shot her little brother was.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a big shot. It can be said that he has shocked the martial arts world and caused a stir in all religions. As a decision-maker with such political and business power, it is really possible for the situation to change with just a stomp of the foot or even a sneeze. Worried about whether it would cause an economic shock... These were all things Kurohara Shinhiko told her when he had nothing to do.
watched with fascination Zhan Yushen's focused expression at work. Shan Shan was filled with pride and infinite admiration. He could not imagine how much effort it took to control such a huge consortium. He finally understood that Ikurahara Shinhiko Why does the think tank in charge exist?
As if noticing Shan Shan's gaze, Zhan Yushen suddenly raised his head, their eyes met, and the two of them smiled knowingly.
"Are you bored?" He felt a little indebted. It had been three days since they arrived in Japan, and he had also been working hard for three days.
"No." Yang Yang held the book in his hand to show that he had something to do, "You are busy. Are you done?"
Zhan Yushen said nothing and waved, letting Shanshan walk up to him with a confused look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Shanshan was a little confused.
pointed to his lap, Zhan Yushen motioned for her to sit down.
Obediently, Shanshan placed herself in his arms, and then was hugged tightly.
"I love acting like a spoiled brat." A charming smile appeared, and Shanshan sat in his arms and teased softly.
Zhan Yushen smiled but said nothing, he just wanted to hold her quietly for a while; Shanshan was left to him, and she could feel the peaceful and quiet atmosphere in his arms.
"Will you regret coming here with me?" Zhan Yushen suddenly said.
shook his head, Shanshan grabbed his big hand and played with his fingers, "I like to be with you."
"Or have you decided to stay?"
"Yes." Nodding without hesitation made Zhan Yushen's heart melt. Feel warm.
"Silly girl." His big hand covered the tender white beauty, raised it to his lips and kissed her gently.
"I'm not stupid." He wrinkled his nose and protested kindly.
"Drunk people always say they are not drunk." The implication is quite clear.
"Little brother." She raised her head and stared at him, Shan Shan was dissatisfied and angry.
The puffy little face was full of vitality, which made him look so funny. Zhan Yushen couldn't help but put a seal on his pink lips.
Their lips touched, and this rare act of intimacy caused two red clouds to appear on his pink cheeks. Shan Shan looked at him in confusion. He wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Looking at her red lips slightly parted, like an invitation, the idea of waiting for her to grow up was put aside. With gentle movements, Zhan Yushen lowered his head to pick out the sweetness he had longed for for a long time... suddenly enlarged to an extra large size. The close-up of No. 1 made Shanshan naturally close her eyes. The touch on her lips made her a little overwhelmed. This was completely different from the brief light touch in the past. She knew that this was a kiss, and her little brother was kissing her. She... didn't have the legendary sudden electric shock, but it was not far off. Maybe it was because she was very nervous. She just felt that all the blood in her body had gathered in her head. She didn't know what to do?
At this moment, his lips were close to hers, so warm that she lost the ability to think. Then, his gentle bite took away all the strength from her body. Shanshan didn't know what to do, so he could only reluctantly let himself be led by him, and experience this wonderful feeling of intertwining lips and tongues, and heart-wrenching feelings... It seemed like a long time passed, until the breaths of the two seemed disordered, and Zhan Yushen Then he reluctantly let her go, looked at her rosy cheeks, and her misty eyes... couldn't help but kiss her again, and then buried her little head in his chest, if not In doing so, that pretty face stained by lust was too tempting, and he was afraid that he would lose control.
"Little brother?" A shy voice came timidly from his chest.
"Huh?" Without the fragrance of her hair, Zhan Yushen was a little distracted.
Wringing her fingers, Shanshan mustered up the courage, her face was flushed and she said in a low voice, "I like it when you kiss me like this."
Zhan Yushen choked when he heard the words, and embraced her power. Added a few points.
"It would be nice if you were older." He couldn't help but sigh. He had been waiting for a long, long time... "People's health education is flying at a low altitude after all." Shanshan defended himself in a low voice, "I already want it. She is now eighteen years old and is a mature woman."
"Really?" Following the topic, Zhan Yu looked at her carefully.
subconsciously covered her chest with her hands, Shanshan was a little worried, "Brother, do you prefer women with great chests?"
"Well... what kind of standard is considered "great"?" "Zhan Yu teased her carefully.
I thought about it seriously, but I really couldn’t think of any specific description. After comparing my hands for a long time, I finally changed my way of asking.
"Would you like someone like me?" I was a little shy, but when I thought about this question, The future of two people is at stake... Shanshan grabbed his hand and placed it on her chest without hesitation.
"Shan Shan?" As if he had been burned, Zhan Yushen quickly broke away, his usually calm handsome face full of discomfort.
"You don't like it, right?" Shanshan felt hurt.
"Be kind, don't test a man's endurance." The elegant voice lowered a few degrees.
"Huh?" There was only an expression of confusion and hurt on his innocent face.
didn't want to explain, so Zhan Yushen asked her to get close to him. The close contact between the two made Shanshan directly feel his changes. The next second, Shanshan's face turned as red as a cooked shrimp.
moved uncomfortably, but unexpectedly, Zhan Yushen took a deep breath.
"Shan Shan, don't move." There was a little pain in the voice.
froze in place, this situation made Shanshan at a loss.
"Don't move, let me hold you, it'll be fine in a moment." Holding her, Zhan Yushen worked hard to calm down the commotion.
didn't dare to say much, Shanshan didn't move and let him hug her.
It wasn't until his desire cooled down that Shanshan dared to speak, "Brother, I can influence you, does that mean I'm still attractive, right?" The joy in his voice was obvious.
"It's a fatal attraction." He nodded towards her small nose and corrected Zhan Yushen seriously.
"That's great." Shan Shan sighed with satisfaction, but in the next second, as if he thought of something, his little face instantly became extremely serious.
"Brother, tell me the truth, how many people have you kissed before?"
"How could you think of such a question." Zhan Yushen was a little surprised.
"Little brother?" Shanshan insisted on asking for an answer.
"No, no! It's just you." Zhan Yushen had no choice but to answer uncomfortably.
"Really?" Shan Shan was secretly happy in her heart.
I haven't kissed anyone else, does that mean... "Brother, then you haven't slept with anyone else?"
"Shan Shan!" I can't understand, how could such a problem arise?
"You have already..." Shan Shan was so frightened by this possibility that his eyes widened.
"Don't make random guesses." As the heir of the Gogata family, there is no shortage of women who throw themselves into his arms, but when she is the only one in his heart, how can he touch other women.
"That means little brother... you have always been as protective as a jade?" Zhan Yushen's attitude made Shanshan ask happily.
's handsome face had a faint blush, and he didn't know how to answer her words.
There is no need for Zhan Yushen to say anything, Shanshan has already taken care of himself and continues in a satisfied tone: "Little brother is mine, I am also little brother, we belong to each other."
finished his speech carefully, and his satisfied mood lasted less than three seconds before he saw Shanshan's brows furrowed again... "What a tragedy!" Shanshan had a grimace on his face, "I read a novel, It says that there is a male protagonist who is also very protective, but it turns out that he can’t do anything, and then he causes the heroine a lot of pain. Little brother, is this true? I think... you are still..."
"What are you talking about? What nonsense?" Zhan Yushen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't expect that his kindness would encourage him to steal sex.
"I'm serious. Neither of us has experience. If we wait until we get married, how will we know what to do?"
"This kind of thing won't happen." Zhan Yushen promised.
"Really?" Shan Shan doubted, "But my little brother has no experience, why would you? Is it possible that there are tutors teaching this kind of thing?"
Zhan Yushen's innocent words made Zhan Yushen laugh, knowing that she You will never understand. After messing up the soft black hair, you decided to leave this embarrassing topic.
"Stop talking about this, where do you want to play this afternoon?"
was busy arranging his messed up hair, and what he wanted to say in protest turned into a surprise, "Don't you have to go to work anymore?"
Shanshan now forgot for a few seconds. The conversation in front of the clock.
"What do you think?" Zhan Yu teased her carefully.
was busy for three days, even if the sky fell, he still had to solve it.
"Actually, if you are busy, you can ask Mr. Kurahara to accompany me." Shanshan didn't want to trip him up.
"No." Zhan Yushen's face darkened when he mentioned Kurahara Shinyan.
Even though it had been many years, he could never forget that Shikurahara Shinhiko wanted to steal Shanshan's face from him. No matter what, he would never hand Shanshan over to this person, never!
"But you are so busy..." Shanshan was worried about his official business, but he didn't realize that his subtle male psychology was taking a toll.
"That's what I said here!" Zhan Yushen made a decisive decision, "I'm going to take you out in the afternoon. Have you decided where to go?"
"Really?" Shanshan started to get excited.
nodded and Zhan Yushen answered affirmatively.
Solemn temples, amusement parks, historic sites...famous tourist attractions passed through his excited mind one by one. Shanshan thought hard, but what finally emerged was a cold, stubborn and lonely face.
"Have you thought about it? Where do you want to go for a walk?"
A flower-like smile appeared, and Shan Shan had an idea in his heart...a good idea that people can't imagine!
When Zhan Yushen brought Shanshan to visit Lifengtang where Yuxing Mingzi lived, not to mention Yuxing Mingzi was surprised. Even Zhan Yushen, who brought someone here, felt strange that Shanshan asked to come here because he had nothing to do. do what?
"What a rare visitor!" The tone was cold, and it was hard to tell whether Akiko Ogata was happy or displeased with their visit.
Since Akiko Ogata was enjoying tea, Zhan Yushen didn't say much, with a kind and calm tone. Sit quietly on both sides.
"Mother-in-law, why don't you recuperate in the hospital?" Zhan Yushen couldn't agree with Ogata Akiko's insistence on returning to the Ogata residence to recuperate, but even so, he didn't show any special warmth when he spoke.
"As a person waiting to die, I have the right to choose the place to die." Akiko Ogata's tone was as cold as if she was talking about the death of others.
Zhan Yushen frowned and said nothing, while Mikata Akiko slowly looked at Shan Shan beside him.
"What? Are you willing to bring your little red riding hood to me?"
This time, Zhan Yushen pursed his lips and didn't want to speak anymore. He thought of the unprovoked blind date incident, and he still can't understand it to this day.
Shanshan, sandwiched between the two, watched everything carefully. This time, meeting Akiko Ogata again made her more certain of her thoughts.
still remembers the day they first arrived in Japan. In addition to having a meeting for most of the day, they also rushed to the hospital to visit Akiko Ogata that night. However, because they arrived too late, not long after they entered, The nurse asked him to come out before he could say anything.
At that time, although she had no chance to talk to her little brother’s grandmother, she always had a feeling in her heart that her mother-in-law was a very lonely person. Unfortunately, she kept busy with her little brother after that, procrastinating It was only now that she came to see her, and it was only now, after seeing how their grandfather and grandson got along, that she confirmed her intuition - this Grandma Yuxing is a lonely person, a very, very lonely old man!
The truth is easy to see, because the grandfather and grandson are so similar, it can be said that they are all the same! I don’t know if it’s fear, fear or unwillingness? In short, they all close their emotions and do not want outsiders to know their inner world. They only know how to disguise themselves with indifference and use it as a protective color to defend themselves.
But even so... they still need love! Her little brother still has her, but what about her mother-in-law?
's susceptible heart twisted slightly, and Shanshan felt sorry for the old man.
"Mother-in-law, how do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Kuang Mo's words were a bit abrupt, especially since this greeting came after a cold conversation. It was really not an ordinary incompatibility. .
Of course, the person who spoke out did not think twice and was naturally kind. Although her speech was not clear enough because she used Japanese, her kind words were overflowing, making people easily feel her kindness. Concerned, but such remarks made Zhan Yushen look at her with confusion.
Not only Zhan Yushen, but also Mikata Akiko squinted and looked at Shan Shan again.
"Mother-in-law, maybe I shouldn't say these words, but in fact, my little brother cares about you, but he doesn't know how to express himself." Shanshan smiled towards Zhan Yushen, and then continued: " He hides his words in his heart every time. Even if he sees that your health is showing a red light and is worried, he just puts his worry in his heart. I think you, the old man, have seen countless people, and you should be better than me in these matters. More clearly."
Shanshan's words made Mikata Akiko look at Zhan Yushen.
"Really?" The sharp eyes softened a lot when no one was paying attention.
"Shanshan?" Not knowing what Shanshan meant by these words, Zhan Yushen shouted in a low voice.
"Mother-in-law, look, my little brother is shy. He always looks like this when he is shy." With a harmless smile, he commented kindly.
Shanshan's unreasonable behavior, Ogata Akiko's gaze... Zhan Yushen, who was regarded as a target, pursed his lips, and his stiff back clearly showed his discomfort.
A knock on the door rescued Zhan Yushen. What came to the door was a beautiful woman. She was all about the intellectual charm of a woman. She was shrewd and capable, all reflected in her charming face with a bit of arrogance. Shanshan recognized her, and she She is Kurohara Shinhiko's sister and a member of the Ogata family's think tank, Kurohara Yukiho.
"What's going on?" Akiko Ogata asked coldly with a voice without warmth, as the lines that had softened slightly returned to their previous cold and strong appearance.
"Some urgent matters need careful instructions." Kurawara Yukio answered respectfully, but she was confused in her heart: Did she see it wrong? The mother-in-law just now... seemed... a little different?
"Is there anything so urgent that you need to send it back in person?" Akiko Ogata's tone was calm, but her eyes looked directly at her clearly.
didn't give Kurohara Xueying a chance to answer. Zhan Yushen coughed and took over the floor on his own.
"I think we should finish the business first, Shanshan?" I want to take her out of here as soon as possible and ask her what she is doing.
Looking at Zhan Yushen's hand calling her, and then looking at the loneliness surrounding Akiko Ogata, it was hard to choose between Shanshan and Shanshan.
"Are you afraid that I will eat your little red riding hood?" Akiko Ogata's tone can be said to be critical.
Zhan Yushen refused to reply and looked at Shanshan persistently. The atmosphere seemed a bit tense.
"Brother, go ahead and do your work. I will stay with my mother-in-law for a while longer." Shanshan made a decisive decision.
Zhan Yu raised his eyebrows cautiously, unable to believe what he heard.
Shanshan looked at him wordlessly, and their eyes met in the air, as if they were communicating silently. For a long time, the pleading look in Shanshan's eyes made Zhan Yushen sigh dejectedly.
"Let's go out and talk." Zhan Yushen left Li Fengtang together with Zangyuan Xueying.
Chapter 9 "Why would you want to stay with me, an old woman?"
There were only two of them left. Akiko Ogata got straight to the point and didn't intend to waste her words.
"It's nothing, I just feel that... someone should stay with my mother-in-law. Although she doesn't say it, I know that she is very lonely in her heart." Shanshan murmured.
lonely? Akiko Ogata was stunned for a moment.
No one has ever put these two words on her head, Akiko Ogata. No matter she experienced the pain of losing her husband or the grief of losing her beloved daughter, Akiko Ogata is a strong and independent woman. She has no time to be lonely. , there is no time to hurt Chun Beiqiu, what is in her hands is the entire Yuxing family, she is too busy, how can she have time to be lonely? But...why can't I say anything to refute?
"Mother-in-law?" Shanshan looked at her uncertainly, wondering if he had said something wrong.
html The self-arming and deliberately pretending to be calm and strong for many years collapsed in an instant in the unpretentious and pure eyes. Akiko Ogata could no longer deceive herself... Yes, lonely... She was like this So lonely!Suddenly, she seemed to have aged ten years. Akiko Ogata was no longer the strong woman who straddled the political and business worlds. Her hunched body looked like a lonely figure like an ordinary old man.
"Mother-in-law, I don't want to make you sad. I just want to tell you that no matter what, you still have a little brother and you won't be alone." Shanshan said anxiously, his clear eyes full of worry.
"You are a good boy." With mixed feelings in her heart, Akiko Ogata showed a rare smile to Shanshan. It was very shallow, but it was enough to tell that it was a smile.
finally understood why Shen, the child, regarded her as a treasure. This girl had a sensitive and tender heart, which allowed her to naturally detect the thoughts of others around her, just like air. No matter how dense and guarded the heart was, she could Let her penetrate easily, and more than that, under the gaze of her clear eyes, no matter how confused the heart is, it becomes clear and peaceful... "Mother-in-law, you actually care about your little brother, don't you?"
"Can you not care? ?" Sighing, Akiko Ogata didn't want to hide it from her, "Not only him, but also Xinyan and Xueying. Although these children are not surnamed Ogata, in my heart, they are all my descendants. Son, and Shen... are the ones that worry me the most among them."
"Huh? How could this happen?" Is there anything I need to worry about, little brother?
Shanshan's puzzled look made Ogata Akiko laugh, like a kind old man. After whetting Shanshan's appetite, Mikata Akiko said!
"However, since Shen brought you back, then I don't have to worry about him anymore."
"Why?" Shan Shan was puzzled.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." I didn't want to continue this topic anymore, and just in time, Zhan Yushen, who had been worried, hurried back, and the knock on the door ended Ogata Akiko's interest in talking.
"Don't mention what you just said to Shen." Akiko Ogata told him.
When Zhan Yushen came in, he could only see Shanshan nodding in a daze.
"I'm tired." Before Zhan Yushen could give an excuse to leave, Ogata Akiko directly issued an eviction order.
Zhan Yushen nodded and signaled Shanshan to follow him.
"Mother-in-law, you need to get more rest." Shanshan warned.
Zhan Yushen waited for a moment and saw that Shanshan was still kneeling and motionless after finishing speaking.
"Shan Shan?"
Zhan Yushen frowned. He didn't know what she wanted to do now. Even Akiko Mikata looked at her in confusion.
"I..." Shanshan had a pitiful and silly embarrassed expression on his face, pointing to his legs and whispering: "My feet... are numb."
Zhan Yushen was stunned for a moment. , he picked her up in an angry and funny manner, and when he was about to say goodbye to Akiko Ogata, he didn't miss the smile on her face that didn't fade away in time.
was surprised, and Zhan Yu cautiously resigned.
"Mother-in-law, let's go first."
waved her hand, and Akiko Ogata didn't answer. After the two left, the smile she had suppressed bloomed.
"Brother, why are you back so soon?"
After returning to Zhan Yushen's room, Shanshan couldn't help but ask after being put on the bed; originally, she wanted to chat with her mother-in-law for a while longer.
"If I go slower, your feet will not just be numb." After tapping her little head, Zhan Yushen started to massage her and help the blood circulation in her legs.
"Oh, little brother, don't do it." Shanshan begged for mercy with a smile, but she couldn't stand the tingling sensation from the swarming ants.
"Don't worry about it, it will be fine after a while."
"You." As if he wanted to punish her, Zhan Yushen squeezed her again before letting her go.
"Honestly, what are you planning on?" I don't understand how Shanshan could become interested in her mother-in-law.
"She is your family." Shanshan said it was a matter of course.
Zhan Yushen said nothing.
"Brother, don't try to hide it from me. In fact, you are worried, aren't you?" The tingling discomfort had faded, Shan Shan got up and approached Zhan Yushen and asked.
Facing the enlarged sincere face, Zhan Yushen knew that he couldn't hide it but didn't want to hide it. His lack of answer meant acquiescence.
"Actually, my mother-in-law cares about you... Really, I can feel it." Shanshan hurriedly added assurance and explained in detail, "It's just... you know what? You two are so similar. , you don’t show your emotions easily, no one can figure out your inner thoughts, with such personalities, even if you care about each other, the other party will not be able to notice it."
Zhan Yu's cautious refusal to comment made Shanshan smile. .
Holding his hand, Shanshan continued: "Brother, actually my mother-in-law is a very pitiful person. Think about it, she lost her husband when she was in her thirties, dragging such a big family with her alone. After a lot of hard work, her daughter grew up, but what happened? The daughter she depended on for her life also left her, and more than ten years later, she found out that her daughter had also passed away before her. How can you bear this as an old man? I know that." Zhan Yushen answered dully while holding her little hand.
It was because of this that he endured it for ten years. Even after leaving in a rage, he came back as soon as he learned that she had cancer, and even brought Shanshan back here.
"Little brother, you still have me, but my mother-in-law has no one to accompany her. This is already very pitiful. What's more, she is sick again and doesn't have much time in the world. Shouldn't we be more Stay with her and care about her?"
Zhan Yushen didn't say anything. He moved her into his arms, hugged her, and rested his chin on her little head, silently saying nothing.
"Brother, I know that your temperament and heavy workload make it impossible for you to accompany your mother-in-law, but I can take your place. Anyway, you are so busy, and I only go to the company with you to read, so why don't you let me stay at home? Just stay with your mother-in-law."
"You are mine." Zhan Yushen said this out of nowhere.
Shanshan chuckled lightly, with a look of satisfaction and joy on his face.
"I am petty and jealous of my mother-in-law." I couldn't help but scratch his cheek lightly to tease him.
Zhan Yushen just increased his strength and hugged her quietly. This is his treasure, and he really doesn't want to give it to his mother-in-law... "Don't think so much, I'm just helping you stay with your mother-in-law, and I won't disappear."
"Promise me, if possible, I will try my best to persuade my mother-in-law to go to the hospital. Get treatment." Kissing her hair, Zhan Yushen reluctantly gave in.
"Yes." Shanshan promised.
"If your mother-in-law is really difficult to get along with, don't wrong yourself."
"Yes." Shanshan nodded in agreement, but retorted in his heart: Mother-in-law is not difficult to get along with!
"There's more..."
"There's more?" Shanshan frowned.
Zhan Yushen smiled and kissed her between the eyebrows.
"Promise me that in your heart, I will always be the first person you think of, and you can't let anyone else take my place.”
With a bright smile, Shanshan hugged him back hard, and the answer was absolutely unquestionable!
"Of course!"
With Zhan Yushen's approval, Shanshan was left at home. In addition to taking classes with a tutor and learning the test knowledge for entering university next year, his free time was spent with Akiko Ogata.
Half a month passed, and the days began to follow a pattern. When Zhan Yushen was sent to work, Jun and Shanshan were waiting for the tutor to come to class. The rest of the time, Shanshan was with Mikata Akiko and sometimes accompanied her. Tea, learning the Japanese tea ceremony, or watching her arrange flowers and listening to some theories on flower arrangement. Of course, for these things that only the so-called rich ladies of the upper class know, Shan Shan, a layman, can only learn or understand some superficial things. Well, most of the time she didn't understand at all. After all, her Japanese proficiency was not enough to understand those proper nouns.
Sometimes, they didn’t make tea or arrange flowers: Ogata Akiko would ask Shanshan to take her out to the garden to bask in the warm sun, and send a servant to bring her refreshments. The two of them would chat in all directions. Of course, most of the time, Shanshan would spend most of the time with her. Good at talking, it was at the request of Ogata Akiko to tell some things about Zhan Yushen when he was a child.
Although Akiko Ogata didn't say anything about Shanshan's company, all the servants in the house knew that the old Buddha of the Ogata family actually liked the company of this young lady. The most obvious example was when Shanshan was supposed to be out of class but there was still no one there. At that time, Akiko Ogata would unconsciously keep asking the time, and her brows would become deeper and deeper, until Shanshan finally sent away the tutor and was able to escape. After coming to her, she will return to her usual indifferent expression, and then after some kind teasing, that surprising smile will appear.
smile! Grandma Yuxing’s smile!
In the past half month, as long as Shanshan is present, the chances of the servants' jaws falling off have increased a lot. They never knew that the old Buddha of the Gokage family could smile, and those two and three servants Ten years later, the old servant who followed Akiko Ogata from her natal family to the Ogata family was secretly wiping tears of joy, thankful that someone finally found the eldest lady's smile... To be honest, it can be said that the old and young can get along with each other. What shocked everyone, especially the servants in the house, was that they really couldn't imagine that there were people who were not afraid of those sharp eyes and could still talk calmly to the old Buddha of the Ogata family. "chat"!
chat? It's just nonsense without a theme. How is this possible? However, things really happened, and they had to believe that there really were people with such extraordinary talents in this world.
Everyone was optimistic about the transformation of Mikata Akiko, but only Kurohara Yukiho disapproved with displeasure... "Mother-in-law." After witnessing Shan Shan's departure, Kurohara Xueying appears.
"What's going on?" Akiko Ogata admired the freshly arranged flowers on the coffee table, which were the result of her and Shanshan's cooperation.
Frowning his eyebrows, Kurohara Xueying stared at the potted flower unconsciously.
is so ugly! The level of ordinary women is indeed only this level. How could my mother-in-law treat such vulgar and childish works as treasures? Kurohara Yukiyo thought to herself in disgust.
"Xue Ying, are you here just to be in a daze with me?" Knowing what she was thinking, Ogata Akiko didn't want to explain to her, and couldn't explain it.
This pot of flowers reminded her of the time when her daughter, Dou Kou, was learning to arrange flowers. During this time, the more she got along with Shan Shan, the more she remembered that long-gone time, her daughter's thoughtfulness, her daughter's slenderness, her daughter's innocence... Only later did she realize that Shan Shan's personality, words and deeds had changed. It was like a replica of her daughter's youth, like an overlay of images, which made her unable not to think of her poor daughter who died, and also unable not to let go of her heart for this little girl.
Every day, it was like reliving an old dream, slowly teaching her the etiquette of flower arranging, tea tasting, and high-class social gatherings... "What are your plans for Shen's little sister?" Kurawahara Yukiho got straight to the point.
"Oh?" Akiko Ogata didn't expect this question.
"You deliberately arranged a blind date to make Shen return to Taiwan in anger, and then colluded with the doctor to lie to everyone that you had cancer, and asked your brother to go to Taiwan to find Shen back. Isn't this because you wanted him to bring that little sister back? Mother-in-law, What are you thinking about?" Seeing that she didn't give a direct answer, Kurohara Yukio simply said it clearly.
"Xue Ying, you have always been a smart child. You have seen everything that Shen and Xinyan did not see." Akiko Ogata looked calm. "Shen is not happy here, I think you know better than me, right?"
Kurohara Yukiho didn't answer, just bit her lower lip and sat aside with a stubborn look on her face. That look made Ogata Akiko filled with emotions. Sighed.
"We all know that he has always been thinking about the kindness of Taiwan. Every year, only on the day he returns to Taiwan, can we see his relieved expression, the weight of kindness in his heart, You don’t need to think about it to know that it is extraordinary. How can I not think about such an important person?" Akiko Ogata looked directly into Kurawahara Yukiho's eyes.
"Besides, I watched you grow up, so I don't know what you are thinking? That's why I had to find a way to get Shen to bring Shan Shan back, and the result... is obvious, isn't it? "
The intelligent light in his eyes forced Zang Yuan Xueying to look away.
"What's the result? She treats Shen as her little sister, so of course Shen will pay more attention to her." No matter what, she doesn't want to admit that the yellow-haired girl has enough conditions to become Shen's lover.
"Xue Ying, don't deceive yourself. Your intelligence will not fail to see the connection between these two people." Akiko Ogata sighed softly.
"I am not deceiving myself. On the contrary, I am very realistic. No pair of lovers can continue to maintain the same emotions after being separated for ten years. Only family love can continue indefinitely." The usually self-controlled emotions are slightly lost.
"Really?"
Avoiding Akiko Ogata's cold gaze, Kurohara Yukiho stood up and said, "The facts will prove everything. Mother-in-law, I have other things to do, so I'll take the first step."
Watching Kurohara Yukiho leave As the figure left, Akiko Ogata smiled bitterly at the closed door.
Why is it that such a smart child can't see through the word "love"?
"Little brother, you are finally back."
When the lights came on, what greeted Zhan Yushen's return was no longer the loneliness of a room. What guarded him was a bright and reassuring smile. Looking at Shan Shan's smile, Zhan Yushen smiled back naturally.
Since Shanshan lived in the Goxing family, not only Goxing Akiko has changed, but Zhan Yushen has also changed.
He no longer spends time on official matters day and night, and begins to live a regular nine-to-five life like an office worker. Unless necessary and has to attend social events, he always rushes home to accompany him. Make good use of dinner──after returning from Taiwan, the social affairs were left to Kurahara Shinhiko to take care of. So far, there has not been any social event that "required" his attendance──I returned home late that day. This is Shanshan’s first time since coming to Japan.
"You're late today, have you eaten?" Like a considerate little wife, Shanshan took the briefcase from his hand and took the suit jacket he had just taken off.
"Have you eaten?" He stared at her with insightful eyes.
"Not yet." Shanshan smiled guiltily, and then said naturally, "I'm waiting for you! You must not have eaten it yet, right?" Seeing Zhan Yushen smiling and shaking his head, Shanshan was happy. He smiled and said, "Then let's eat together."
Watching Shanshan running in and out and asking the maid to help prepare food, Zhan Yushen felt warm in his heart, knowing that someone was waiting for him, which was an indescribable feeling.
"Brother, don't look there, come and eat." After Shanshan thanked the cook for helping, he dragged Zhan Yushen to sit down at the dining table. "After I finish eating, I'm going to tell you a big secret."
looked at the excited little face and lowered the volume pretending to be mysterious, and Zhan Yushen chuckled.
"What, did you find a treasure in the house?"
"That's right!" nodded kindly and proudly.
As if he didn't notice Shan Shan's proud expression, Zhan Yushen stared at her charming face in a daze.
"Little brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Shanshan, are you happy here?" Zhan Yushen asked suddenly.
"Why did you suddenly ask that?" Shan Shan was puzzled.
"I just want to make sure."
"This..." Shanshan thought for a moment, "I think I am happy."
Such an answer is by no means a good answer, Zhan Yushen remained silent.
As if he didn't notice Zhan Yushen's expression, Shanshan continued: "Although I have you and my mother-in-law here, it's not like living on campus before. You can go home every week to see your dad and mommy. Sometimes, I miss them when I talk to them on the phone."
Zhan Yushen felt even more sad when he heard these words.
"But..." It was tempting. When Zhan Yushen put on his handsome face, Shanshan added a proviso, "I still like it here."
Zhan Yushen confused Shanshan's confusing words. .
smiled kindly: "Although I have to take some difficult tutoring lessons here, I have to learn some styles and styles from my mother-in-law, and I have to learn some flower arrangement techniques that are completely unclear, or I have to spend an afternoon with my mother-in-law. My feet felt numb after drinking tea for a long time, but I still like it here."
's soft but firm words made Zhan Yu gain some confidence, but he was also a little confused.
"Why?"
"Because of you." Shanshan smiled naturally, "Although I can't see Mommy and the others often now, I know that they still have each other, but little brother only has me..." Shanshan continued in a low voice: "I like to see my little brother happy. The little brother I saw in the past few years always forced a smile on his face. It was most obvious every time I sent you to the airport. I know what's going on in your heart. You don't like to be alone here, just like I thought. Now that I'm here with you, I can feel that my little brother is happy in his heart, right?"
"Shanshan." Zhan Yu Be cautious.
Under Zhan Yushen's gaze, Shan Shan was troubled, his eyes flushed, and he mumbled a little embarrassedly: "Besides, I also like to be with my little brother. Seeing my little brother become happy, Shan Shan Shan Shan felt very happy in his heart... Oh, little brother, stop talking about this."
shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of those embarrassing feelings. Shanshan didn't want to continue this uncomfortable topic, and hurriedly He put a bunch of vegetables into Zhan Yushen's bowl.
"Little brother, hurry up and eat, I want to show you something." Recalling the previous topic, Shanshan looked happy again. She had endured it all day and had been waiting to tell him this big discovery.
Zhan Yushen smiled and changed the subject in compliance with her wishes, "Whatever it is, it depends on what you are happy with."
"It's a secret."
Zhan Yushen's kind and cautious look made Zhan Yushen laugh.
"I'm telling the truth, this is a secret I just discovered today." She lowered her voice and explained, "The tutor has something to do today, so he asked me to finish class early. I went to Li Feng Hall to find my mother-in-law as usual. Originally, we I had an appointment to arrange flowers today, but my mother-in-law was not in the room. Isn't it strange? The servant girl who passed by told me that my mother-in-law was in the study. Later, when I went to the study to find my mother-in-law, I happened to see it. My mother-in-law kept telling me that she wanted me. Don't tell you."
"What is it?" Shanshan's excited tone infected him, and Zhan Yushen couldn't help but become curious.
"Do you remember a long time ago, when your mother-in-law just sent people to Taiwan to find you?" Shanshan couldn't help but reveal a little more, "Didn't your mother-in-law ask some people to go to your old home to take a lot of photos?"
Exhibition Yu Shen nodded. He still remembers that one thing, but...what kind of big secret does this involve?
