[Onmyoji] Give fire to the boss

Her throat was dry, and Hongye opened her lips, unable to make a sound. She wanted to ask why, but Seimei's firm tone made her flinch.

His voice was the same as before, calm and introverted, even with a bit of a gentle temperament, everything was her favorite, but at this moment, even if that voice was like the sound of nature, it could not change the cruel content of what he said.

And just a few days ago, this voice was still three points drunk, saying in front of everyone that he wanted to take care of her.

enough!Say no more!

Qingming stopped suddenly as if hearing her inner voice.

The silence in the room is complemented by the rustling of the leaves outside.

Xu Jun stood under the tree and was lost in thought. Qingming couldn't fall in love with Hongye.

He could only tell himself that by doing so, he might be able to save Hongye.

When Hongye came out of the door, Xu Jun couldn't recognize her. The shy girl she used to be was no longer there, replaced by an empty face.

Perhaps the emptiness was too obvious, causing him to ignore the flash of resentment.

After the red leaves left for a long time, Xu Jun opened the door and entered the house. The evening sun passed by the window lattice and fell down the mountain without looking back.

There was only darkness and the creaking of wooden doors in the house.

Qingming's voice was very low, as if he was talking to himself: "Obviously you are rejecting others, why do you feel so uncomfortable?"

Xu Jun thought for a long time and said, "You like her."

Qingming looked at Xu Jun blankly, and said eagerly in his voice, "You know that I like you."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, both of them were taken aback.

Xu Jun has always avoided this topic.Like two people walking in a maze, whenever Seimei bypassed those deep and rugged roads and approached him, he would turn around and choose another road to walk away silently.

He didn't know how he was going to face Qingming.

Qingming lowered her head and pulled her fox ears down, as if she never thought that she would say such a deviant thing, but after she said it, her whole body seemed to relax a lot, and the confusion in her heart suddenly became clear.

He likes him!

So it is!It turned out to be so!

After understanding her true intentions, Qingming swept away her previous depression and said firmly to Xu Jun, "Yes, I like you."

He said it repeatedly, as if breaking a taboo, without hesitation.

Xu Jun covered his eyes and said half aloud, "Stop talking about me..."

I like you too.

But he didn't say it.

However, this does not hinder Seimei's enthusiasm. Although he still maintains a reduced version of the fox, his attitude has changed 180 degrees since that day.

A certain fox who is cold and alienated from others, after meeting him, the sugar-coated shells wrapped in tenderness, consideration, and sweetness can almost drown him like he doesn't need money.

Xu Jun felt in a daze, as if he had returned to the time when he first met him.

Qingming, who was as gentle as jade, made him fall in love the moment he saw it.

However, he knew that it was just an appearance.

Under Qingming's beautiful lips, there is another cold, strong and domineering soul hidden.All his bad memories are about Hei Qingming.

The door squeaked, Xu Jun turned his head, Qingming stood outside the door, only took one look at Xu Jun, and felt that something was wrong.

When Xu Jun looked at him, most of the things were normal, but... Occasionally, there would be a hint of resentment, such as at this moment, something was thinking in that cute head, and even the eyes looking at him became fierce.

Qingming quickly recalled the contents of the past few days. Except for the first cooking that almost destroyed the kitchen, he probably did nothing wrong.

So, he looked at Xu Jun with big innocent eyes.

Xu Jun sighed, his eyes turned from his face to his hand, where was holding a food box, simple sashimi and porridge, but it was made by a certain fox all morning.

"Let it go."

Qingming brought it in front of him with a smile, watching him stir casually without interest, without moving a mouthful.

Frowning, Seimei tapped his toes and pushed the bowl vigorously with his claws.

Xu Jun touched his abdomen: "I don't have much appetite."

Seimei: "Is your stomach uncomfortable?"

"Hmm..." He always felt that in the past two days, the seeds in his stomach seemed to be sprouting and growing, supporting his entire belly to swell.

Seimei moved her ears and put her head on them.

Xu Jun: ...

"no sound."

"Nonsense! Do you think you are pregnant?"

Qingming raised his head, put his paws on his legs, and said seriously, "I hope so."

Xu Jun lost his temper completely, grabbed the leather bag around his neck and slid it out, closing the door.

A fox who fell down and squatted, seemed to see a suspicious blush on Xu Jun's face the moment the door closed.

He blinked, patted his buttocks and got up happily.

Perhaps it was because the shrunken version of Qingming was not aggressive, Xu Jun's attitude towards him was very relaxed, which really gave Qingming a lot of substantial benefits, so he was very reluctant to leave this state.

Boya spat at the teacup that Xu Jun handed over, and frowned: "If you don't come home, your father will raid my house. I told him that you were not with me, but he didn't believe me."

Qingming flicked his tail, didn't care about his friend's predicament at all, just said: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." There was a little helplessness in his words, as if he was the most innocent one.

Boya thought: Let’s just say that foxes are the most annoying.

Qingming glanced over with narrow and long eyes: "Is there anything else?"

That facial expression, in Boya's view, is completely like playing when there is something to do, and retreating to court when there is nothing to do.He couldn't help grinding his teeth: "Have you seen Hongye recently?"

Qingming glanced at Xu Jun and said, "Well, about a week ago."

"A week? It's been this long?"

Boya's expression caught Qingming's attention: "What's wrong with Hongye?"

"It's like this. I went to the palace a few days ago and heard some bad rumors that Hongye was kidnapped by a demon before." Speaking of this, Boya paused, as if he couldn't find the words to describe it: "In short, it is You lost your temper and said that it was because of this that you didn't want her."

Boya just said briefly. In fact, if he hadn't witnessed the convincing words of the people in the palace, he might have believed them.

As an ordinary person, Hongye would not be noticed even if she died someday.But the bad thing is that her marriage with Qingming is full of curiosity, from the aristocrats of the country to the common people on the streets. In addition, Qingming refuses Princess Masako to marry because of Hongye, people's curiosity about Hongye has reached an unprecedented level .

But now, rumors of Hongye's disobedience are raging throughout Heian-kyo.

Qingming has been staying at home these days, completely unaware of this matter, he doubted: "The matter of Hongye's captivity, except for her maid and driver at that time, there are only a few of us left. Trouble, at the beginning of her captivity, she had already sent the maid coachman back, who on earth leaked this?"

Xu Junlue pondered for a moment: "She said it by accident. Before the Girl's Day, Hongye was chatting with me in a doll shop, and accidentally slipped her mouth, and the proprietress overheard."

Boya was taken aback: "Then what? You left? Didn't deal with the lady boss?"

Xu Jun blamed himself: "At that time, Xiao Zuofu cast a curse on the proprietress, and she had nightmares for several days, thinking that she should stop chewing her tongue, but now it seems that she is still careless."

Qingming shook his head: "This matter is none of your business. Ordinary people fear ghosts and gods, so the boss must not dare to talk about it anymore. I guess there must be a third person."

Boya frowned and said, "This is not the point now." He looked at the two with a solemn expression: "Hong Ye has probably been missing for a week."

The courtyard is deep, and there are precious peonies everywhere in the garden. These peonies were transported from China by envoys sent by the emperor. They traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and the orchids are delicate, so these orchids are very precious.

A luxurious woman hurried in from the outer courtyard, the hem of her kimono quickly skimmed over the flowers.

The maid cleaning the yard heard the voice and came out from behind the tree: "Who?"

The luxurious woman seemed to have no idea that anyone would be here, her face turned pale with fright, and when she took a closer look, the maid was already lying on the ground trembling, and tremblingly said: "Princess Masako."

Masako patted her chest to breathe slowly: "So it's you, go down, don't come in to serve, from today on, no one is allowed to enter this yard."

"Yes."

Just when the maid was rejoicing, a female voice came from the room: "Wait a minute."

The wooden door was opened, and the black-haired woman with a plain face stepped out slowly. She first nodded to Masako, then turned her eyes and landed on the kneeling maid.

The gaze seemed to be invisible, and the maid was breathless. The black-haired woman in front of her was Xin An, Princess Masako's boudoir friend.

Fujiwara Xin'an, whose father was a cabinet minister, was originally from an excellent family background, but his mother was born to a country girl when his father was in exile, which made her status much lower than that of ordinary officials and ladies.However, it is this Ms. Fujiwara from a bad background who is appreciated by the princess alone, and then becomes a close friend, which many people don't understand.

But as the princess' servant, she knows very well that although the princess is headstrong, she has a soft heart and is prone to lose her mind when things happen.

The maid lowered her head lower, her gaze casually swept across the half-open door behind Xin An.

A piece of red cloth?It looks like a skirt.what is that?She couldn't help but take a second look.

"What are you looking at?"

The maid was frightened by the voice, and hurriedly said: "No, there is nothing." After that, she wailed for the princess.

Seeing her terrified appearance, Masako couldn't bear it: "Xin An..."

Xin An smiled: "Get up, do as the princess says." After the maid left, Xin An led Masako to the door, Masako paused, as if unwilling to enter the door.

"Don't be afraid, princess, it's just a little girl."

"Didn't you say that she...has sorcery and will harm Seimei?"

"Yes, but princess, am I here?" Xin An smiled, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
