The tedious part of exchanging love tokens and swearing oaths was finally over, and the abbot and monk with a serious face in front of him raised his hand to them, indicating that they could stand up.

The thick sleeves pressed down on her body, and her legs and feet were bound so that she could only move within a narrow range. Donghua didn't panic at all that she would make a fool of herself in public.Then a hand stretched out beside him as expected, it was cold, white and slender, its muscles and bones were full of strength, it was reliable that when Dong Hua pressed the weight of half of her body on it, she didn't tremble at all.

Dong Hua slowly stood up from the screen, and bowed slightly to the elders sitting on both sides.

The two old men with snow-white hair nodded to her frequently. Although there were gratifying smiles on their lips, their cloudy eyes were moistened with water.

Her heart sank when she was stared at by this warm and slow gaze, and her eye sockets became hot instantly, and the whole process was so fast that she didn't even realize it.Dong Hua quickly turned her eyes away, and blinked quickly under the cover of the red-haired boy beside her, trying to suppress the tears that hadn't had time to surge.

The hand hanging by her side was suddenly wrapped in his palm, Donghua's heart skipped a beat, she turned her eyes to look at him in a daze.

The red-haired boy in the field of vision had an unexpectedly serious and upright face. Although the three salutes and bows in the ceremony had been completed, he bent down again and solemnly bowed deeply to the two old men.

Donghua froze immediately, staring at him blankly.

"What are you looking at again?" Akashi straightened up, and from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of her silly expression, and opened and closed his lips slightly expressionlessly, making a sound that no one could hear except the girl beside him.

"..." Dong Hua immediately came back to her senses, lowered her head to cover the red eyes, and answered him in a muffled voice, "Don't make me cry on this occasion."

"It doesn't mean that," Akashi Seijuro held her hand without hesitation, even though he was stared at by the rigid abbot monk with dissatisfaction, his face remained calm and calm, "I'll take you to change clothes."

Then the two left, and the living room was quickly and simply arranged by the servants.

Donghua was led to a small guest room by him, and after changing into a more convenient kimono, she came out to hold his bent arms.

"This color is more suitable for you." Akashi glanced at her sideways, as if saying something casually.

She changed into an apricot-colored kimono, and the wide sleeves that reached down to her calves were embroidered with large lotus root flowers. The silver-white Tang flower rhombus pattern was still embroidered on the chest and back shoulders. It was a little deeper, but it still couldn't stop the girl's beauty.

Unexpectedly, Donghua didn't take it as a compliment, on the contrary, she opened her eyes and looked up at him incredulously: "Huh?! What did Zhengjun just say?"

Akashi Seijuro: "..."

Akashi Seijuro: "...I mean, heck, although this one looks good, the black one suits you better."

Only then did Dong Hua let out a long sigh of relief: "That's good, Zheng Jun gave me a fright."

It took Akashi a moment to understand what she meant, and he almost burst out laughing after he figured it out—although the apricot-colored lotus root powder can bring out the sweetness and beauty of a girl, but at this moment and this occasion, for Xiyuanji Donghua , what I want more is probably to be stable and dignified as a lady of aristocratic family.

Walking into the living room, Donghua lightly tapped her fingertips on the boy's bent arms, holding the goblet gracefully, and even seemed to be able to raise the corners of her lips to smile at the guests.

Before, she had been too lazy to follow behind her parents and talk to people from all walks of life with hypocritical scenes, so it was the first time for her to have such a grand scene like today.

A middle-aged man in a black business suit walked up to him. He looked rather unsmiling. Rather than blessing, he seemed to be doing a task that had to be completed. The man raised his glass to them: "Congratulations to Master Akashi and Xiyuanji Miss, I also wish you an early marriage."

Dong Hua raised her brows in surprise at the super-high speed of speaking, but she instantly matched the middle-aged man's face with a certain page in the data||material that her father gave her.

Noticing the body language of the man who tended to turn away, Donghua immediately raised his glass to him: "Mr. Sugawara, thank you for your blessing."

The middle-aged man paused: "Miss Xiyuansi recognizes me?"

Donghua pursed her lips and smiled, and quickly ran through the contents of the folder in her mind——Sugawara Kenya, the new head of a declining noble family in Kyoto. Gao, the family style is still rigorous to a certain extent, and it is not inferior to a century-old family.

"As the future manager of this huge family business, we must not only maintain a good relationship with the major families, but also not forget to win over potential upstarts from all walks of life."

Her father taught her everything about family glory, and Donghua kept it firmly in her heart.

Thinking of this, Donghua nodded slightly to him: "Nowadays, Internet finance is in the limelight, and the Sugawara Zaibatsu is one of the best, of course I have heard of it."

Sugawara Ken also seemed to be used to being ignored, and felt a little uncomfortable for a while, but restrained his hands and feet and clinked glasses with the girl: "Really, that would be my honor."

"Where is it? I heard that Ms. Sugawara is proficient in the cello. I am also studying recently. I hope to have a lesson with her when I have time."

"If I have time, I will definitely ask my little girl to visit." Sugawara Ken also recovered a bit, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Saying goodbye to Sugawara Kenya, Akashi Seijuro lowered his eyes: "It suddenly becomes a little strange, Fuyuka."

"Huh?" Dong Hua raised her eyelashes and glanced at him, then tilted her head in doubt, unlike the water-tightness just now, her eyes are full of girlish softness now, "What?"

"How did Donghua know that gentleman just now?" Akashi hooked her palm, "If it weren't for Donghua, the scene might have become disrespectful."

Dong Hua clenched his fingers tightly, looked up at him with a half-smile, the other party's tone seemed to be pampering a child, but he still pretended to be genuinely melancholy: "It's just that my father showed me the list in advance. That's all - my father said that the future momentum of Internet finance is immeasurable, so the revival of the Sugawara family must not be too far away."

"you……"

"Huh?" Dong Hua looked up at him with clear eyes.

Akashi squeezed her hand: "It's nothing."

When the guests were finally sent out in twos and threes, Dong Hua was almost too tired to stand on her feet.

"Are you tired?" Akashi Seijuro frowned, looking at the fine and dense sweat under the thick collar of Nakashi's sleeves, "I'll take you to rest."

"Wait a minute," Donghua supported his arm, she was obviously exhausted and out of breath, but she still shook her head with all her strength, "First, I greeted Mr. Akashi and my father."

Akashi Seijuro couldn't resist her, so he had to help her to ask the elders again, and then helped Donghua to the room behind the living room.

Walking around a corner, all the servants were cleaning the front hall, and the corridor was empty, so Akashi simply hugged her and said, "Be patient."

Donghua hugged his neck obediently, and leaned on his shoulder.

He went upstairs with familiar steps, turned a few corners, and opened a door.

Dong Hua raised her head, and the moment she saw the layout of the room, her cheeks were blushed with embarrassment, and she pursed her lips: "You...why did you come to your room?"

"Just let you have a good rest," Akashi put her on the edge of the bed, looked down at her again, "do you want to untie your belt?"

Probably because this apricot-colored kimono was worn by herself, and she was afraid of delaying time, her hands seemed to be in a hurry, her belt seemed to be tightened, and her lungs almost shrank after a long round of pleasantries just now.Donghua turned around immediately after hearing the words: "Thank you Zhengjun."

Zhong Zhenxiu has layers of sleeves, she was only wearing a snow-white jacket before, and he saw her, but now she just covered her neckline with her hands, and then bent down || body untied the rope buckle of the clogs on her feet, only wearing The bag of two toes hit the floor.

"The engagement is so tiring." Dong Hua was finally liberated, put her hands on the bed, closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.

"Marriage will be even more tiring," Seijuro Akashi hugged her calf, and massaged the already stiff calf muscles with warm palms. "But it's not worth mentioning at all in front of family affairs."

"It's okay." I tossed and turned for a long time last night before I fell asleep, and I woke up early today. I used to rely on tension to lift my spirits. Now I am in his room, and my whole body seems to be affected by that gentle and ironing feeling. Wrapped in the fragrance of plants and trees, sleepiness instantly returned.

Dong Hua closed her eyes in a daze, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Want to sleep?" His voice was deep in his ears.

After a long while, Dong Hua murmured "Ugh" from her throat: "Sleepy..."

The force that had been tightly tied at the back of her head was quickly withdrawn, and the fluffy and smooth platinum long hair fell on her shoulders like catkins scattered in spring.A big warm hand then stroked the back of the head, and rubbed it evenly with moderate force, shattering the layers of labor pain.

Dong Hua pursed her lips comfortably, tilted her head and rubbed against his shoulder.

She suddenly heard him sigh—a helpless and soft breath, fluffed into her ears, which made her sanity, which had been floating in the dark sweetness, a little clearer.

"What's the matter?" Dong expends effort to tear open a line of eyelids, and only a touch of red can be discerned in the hazy field of vision.

"Huh?" Akashi paused for a while to comb her long hair, and then answered her in a deep voice, "I just think you are working hard."

"What's so hard about it?" Dong Hua closed her eyes, "It's something I have to do, and so is Zheng Jun."

Akashi Seijuro didn't speak, but slowly laid her flat, got up and went to the cabinet to take out a soft quilt and put it on her body.

Sensing his proximity, the girl with closed eyes waved her arms lazily in the air, and Akashi Seijuro silently passed her hand over.

Donghua grabbed his hand, and pressed the boy's rough palm to his cheek, her voice seemed to be scattered in the air, but the words carried a heavy weight, and she bit them full: "Zheng Sir, I understand what you mean."

Akashi was taken aback, and sat down beside her on his knees.

"I, I am..." She pursed her lips shyly, and her voice was much lower when she spoke again, "I am Zhengjun's future wife, and I want to be by your side. I don't want to be just a I don’t want to be just a dodder flower—the wife of Akashi Seijuro, she can’t be such a weak person.”

So what I'm working on now is to let myself grow up quickly, so that I can stand beside you effortlessly, so that your journey to the top will never be lonely——

Akashi Seijuro was silent for a long time, a soft smile slowly appeared on his lips, he leaned down || body, and gently kissed the girl's full and smooth forehead: "Thank you, Donghua."
