"Miss Xiyuansi, please wait a moment."

Akashi Seijuro's birthday dinner at his main residence in Tokyo has finally come to an end, and the guests are leaving in twos and threes.She had just pretended to be following behind her parents, as if she was about to leave, but the housekeeper who was dressed in a suit behind her followed her as expected.

"What's the matter?" Donghua turned around holding the hem of her skirt, as if she really didn't know that he would call her back.

"That's right," the unsmiling housekeeper nodded to the person behind the girl, "Our young master said that such a banquet is too formal, and it happens that Miss Xiyuansi is also his classmate, so I would like to invite Miss Xiyuansi to stay." I will attend the next private banquet—of course, after the conclusion, the Akashi family will ensure that Miss Saiyuanji can return home safely."

The man curled his lips and smiled kindly: "If you have peers, you can talk, of course. Dong Hua, let's go."

Dong Hua bowed her head obediently and responded: "Yes."

"Miss Xiyuansi, this way please."

Donghua lifted the hem of her skirt, went up to the third floor under the guidance of the housekeeper, and stopped outside a certain door.

"This is the young master's room. Miss Xiyuansi, please." The housekeeper knocked on the door lightly for her, and after a thunderclap, he turned around and left.

Donghua blinked in confusion.This was the first time she came to Akashi's mansion in Tokyo. She thought he would find an ordinary reception room, but she didn't expect to celebrate her birthday directly in his room.

The door panel opened silently, Akashi Seijuro had obviously rested for a while, and now he was only wearing a shirt, and his tie knot was a little loose.The boy's always calm eyes slowly loosened after touching the girl outside the door, revealing the soft inside, he took Donghua's hand: "Come?"

Dong Hua was led into the house by him, but she didn't see anyone other than them, she tilted her head in doubt: "Didn't you mean a private banquet?"

"That's right," Akashi simply took off his tie, "It's a private banquet for the two of us."

"So," Dong Hua raised her eyelashes, looked at his bedroom, and whispered casually, "I thought you would call someone else."

"..." Akashi was a little speechless, "Why should I call someone else?"

Probably because I have lived in Kyoto all the time, the rooms in Tokyo are rarely inhabited, and even with the air conditioner on, there is a cold and dry atmosphere.

"Drink some wine?" Akashi set up a small log-colored table in the open space in front of the bed, then took a bottle of red wine from the desk, and shook it slightly at her.

Dong Hua turned her head to take a look, then quickly retracted her gaze, and carefully looked at his bookshelf inch by inch: "Okay."

Compared with the books in Kyoto, the level of difficulty in Tokyo is obviously weaker, and there are not so many obscure original texts.Her gaze slowly slid across the spine of the neatly arranged books, and after reading a line, she raised her eyelids and jumped to the next level...but she was caught off guard and stared at a red-haired lady.

The photo is well preserved, and the age cannot be seen. The lady in the photo is wearing a knitted shawl that looks very soft, holding an umbrella, and smiling at her through a glass cover.

Donghua was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized the identity of this lady, she subconsciously took half a step back, wanting to turn her head to say sorry to Akashi.

However, as soon as she moved, her back suddenly touched a warm body, and then someone grabbed her shoulders. Donghua heard his voice from above: "This is my mother."

The words that were stuck in her throat just now can finally be spit out smoothly, Donghua cleared her dry throat softly, then raised her head and whispered to Akashi: "Sorry, I was abrupt."

Akashi Seijuro lowered his head and glanced at her with a half-smile: "Why are you so nervous? Mom is a very gentle person."

——Even if he doesn't point it out, Donghua can understand it.Although she also has red hair, unlike Akashi Seijuro, that lady is just full of warmth and softness, but she has no attack power.And the smile on her lips, even if there is an insurmountable time gap, Donghua can still feel the warmth of the sun shining on her body.

"When I have time in the future, I will take you to visit her—Mom will definitely like you too." Akashi took her hand and led her from the bookshelf to the small table, his tone rarely lacked the usual seriousness and calmness, But bursts of relaxation.

The warm room when I was a child, my mother who looked at me with a smile, and... my sweetheart within reach.Akashi Seijuro pulled out the cork and poured red wine for her: "I prepared some cake for you, you didn't eat much at night, did you?"

Donghua looked at the small palm-sized cake placed between the two of them, and looked at the cream on it as if looking at a class||level||enemy|| person, she curled her lips slightly, then looked up at Akashi innocently: " Zhengjun, it's already this time, it doesn't matter if you're hungry."

Akashi Seijuro paused, and then sighed helplessly. He resignedly picked up the tray and cake knife, and scraped off all the cream on the surface, leaving only a smooth ||slip||slip cake embryo and the side The fruit on display: "Is this good? Eat as much as you want."

She looked at the soft and fluffy cake... I don't know how much oil and sugar was used to make the cake, and she choked her throat, but this time she didn't act coquettishly anymore, she just forked a small piece of cake obediently into her mouth.

"Come on," Akashi Seijuro propped his head up to look at her under the bright light, and then raised his goblet to her.

Dong Hua immediately put down the fork, grabbed the stem of the goblet, and touched him lightly, the crystal glass made a clear and slightly ethereal sound.

"That's right!" Dong Hua took a sip of the red wine, letting the scent of sweetness linger between her lips and teeth, she glanced inadvertently, and noticed the unrecognizable cake under her hand. Frowning, "Do you want to make a wish?"

"Making a wish?" Akashi Seijuro repeated softly, then shook his head with a smile at her, "I never make a wish on my birthday—instead of having unrealistic delusions in my heart and wanting others to help you solve everything, it's better Just reach out and get what you want.”

Dong Hua supported her chin and nodded: "Sure enough, it must be what Zheng Jun said, but... I make a wish almost every birthday—secretly, after the banquet is over, I put my hands together in my room alone."

As if she was ashamed to show her childish side to him, Donghua's cheeks were filled with a layer of pink.

"Do you have any wishes?" Akashi Seijuro seemed to have completely forgotten what he just said, as if "unrealistic" and "delusion" did not come from him, "Tell me."

"It's not a serious wish," said Donghua, harassing the cake under her hand one after another, "it's almost like 'I hope grandma's small flower garden will not be infested with insects', 'I hope Kyoto will be cooler this year'—that's all. "

"How should I put it..." Akashi lowered his head and smiled softly, "It really is the wish that Donghua will make."

"Well," Dong Hua ate half of the cake with a bitter face, and quickly pushed the rest away with lingering fear. After gently wiping her fingertips with a paper towel, she raised her eyelashes and looked at the classical wall clock opposite, and then held on Floor stood up, "Wait for me a moment."

She opened the door and went out, then quickly opened the door and came back, as if she just stopped at the door for a while, but there were indeed two bags, one big and one small, in her hand.

Dong Hua knelt down on the side of the small table again, and first took out the contents of the small bag and handed it to him: "Happy birthday—although I have said it several times today."

"Ah, thank you," Akashi raised his eyebrows, retracted his eyes glued to the big bag without a trace, picked up the leather jewelry box in front of him, he paused, and then opened it naturally—— It is a watch, with a rather well-designed blue sand dial on the inside, sprinkled with a layer of bright gold powder, which looks like a flowing galaxy under the bright light. In the center of the dial is a round pearl. Made into a shooting star style, the platinum strap is inlaid with large and small diamonds.

"How about it, do you still like it?" Dong Hua leaned forward expectantly, wringing her fingers together.The heating of the air conditioner and the red wine slowly stained her cheeks with blush, and she looked a little dazed, "I know this watch is a bit too high-profile, it's not Zheng Jun's usual style, but it's fine to put it on as a decoration." Can."

"Nothing," Akashi reached out and rubbed her hair, took off the black steel watch on his left hand with soft eyes, and then put the starry sky watch on his hand, "I like it very much."

Dong Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and then noticed that his probing eyes had been staring at the big bag beside her, and her heart that had just let go hung up again, her cheeks were pre-burned, and she concealed With a light cough, he put the big bag on the table: "And this is also a gift for Mr. Zheng."

"Thank you Donghua." Akashi's tone was brisk, he hooked the corners of his lips, and quickly removed the ribbon knot at the mouth of the bag, but when his fingers touched the contents, he paused, and looked up at Donghua in a bit of hesitation. glance.

The fabric in the bag is very soft and feels extremely comfortable to the touch, probably because it has been placed in an air-conditioned room for a long time, and it is still quite warm to the touch due to the temperature.Under the anxious and expectant eyes of the girl, he took the orange-gold scarf out of the bag.

Uncharacteristically, however, Fuyuka didn't hear his response, and Akashi just kept staring at the soft fabric with lowered eyelids.

She panicked for a moment.

— Or is it too poorly woven?He doesn't like this pattern?Still don't like the color...

The following cranky thoughts all ended under the warm palm that he covered.Dong Hua raised her head in a daze, met his gentle gaze that almost drowned her, and he gently cupped the hand resting on the table: "Is the hand for knitting this scarf?"

Dong Hua drooped her eyelids. In fact, the most serious period has passed, and now there are only some red and swollen marks on her fingertips. She was silent for a long time before she gave a soft "um".

The boy's hot lips fell on her fingers with the words, and the pain caused by those red marks suddenly disappeared under his temperature: "Donghua, thank you, I like this scarf very much, it is today A favorite of all presents."

In fact, she didn't weave very well in the end, the threading was crooked, the pattern was also crooked, and the situation of decoupling was even more common. In terms of commodity value, it was probably the bottom one among all the gifts tonight. Lian He The scroll fragments collected by those celebrities are not eligible to stand in the same arena... However, for Akashi Seijuro, this clumsy scarf is incomparably the most precious.

"...Look, Zhengjun," Dong Hua inadvertently raised her head, but unexpectedly saw through the window the broken pieces of gold and silver exploding on the dark blue sky, "Someone is setting off fireworks."

The Akashi family's mansion is far away from the noisy bustling area, and there is a river beach a few kilometers away.

They stood by the window and watched the fireworks from a distance.Akashi Seijuro squinted his eyes, feeling warm all over his body, probably the red wine was slowly gnawing at his nerves, he lowered his eyelids, just able to see the girl's focused and pure side face, and the splendor of the fireworks was reflected there In those moist eyes,

He suddenly had the urge to make a wish.

And Akashi Seijuro has always followed his own heart.

So he quietly closed his eyes amidst the peace and warmth flowing through the room——

"I want my girl, everything will be smooth, safe and happy, and she will be by my side year after year."
