[Net King] fiance

Speaking of which, Hosokawa Iori has known Liu Renji for a long time. Long before she entered junior high school, she had a brief but slightly embarrassing contact with him.

At that time, she had just moved to Kanagawa from Hokkaido, and she was not yet familiar with the routes and stations here.The girl who couldn't find her way suddenly stopped a passerby to ask for directions. She didn't know what she was thinking at the time, but when she saw the tall boy with ear-length short hair in front of her, she blurted out. : "Sister, do you know how to get to Inamori Town?"

The person she called "sister" gave the answer after a few seconds of silence.

Hosokawa Iori was stunned at the obvious boy's voice, and immediately apologized for her rudeness.The boy nodded his head slightly, his expression was calm, without any nonsense, he bypassed the girl who was blocking the way and left.

A very cold person.Hosokawa Iori sighed in his heart, and then remembered that he had misidentified the boy's gender. The other party did not show any dissatisfaction at all. While feeling ashamed and embarrassed by his own poor eyesight, he silently praised the other party's good self-cultivation.

A few days later, it was the first day of school at the High School Affiliated to Lihai University, and the girl came to the campus with a little novelty and anticipation.After the entrance ceremony, she walked towards the classroom with her new female classmates and saw the boy by accident.

Compared with the appearance of the previous encounter, the boy's image has changed a little: mainly because of the change of hairstyle, the original "little sister's head" was cut off, and turned into short and sharp hair, and the boy wore neat bangs to make him Hosokawa Iori thought it was a bit strange, but it was unexpectedly suitable for this person.

The boy who changed his hairstyle is no longer easy to misunderstand his gender. The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy is handsome with a touch of handsomeness, which attracts the attention of little girls.

Hosokawa Iori heard the new students talking about those boys shyly and excitedly in an adoring tone. It was also at this time that she knew that the boy she had called "sister" was from the second grade. Senior.It is said that this senior, including the boys around him, is the main candidate for the Tennis Club of Lihai University. He not only plays tennis well, but also studies very well. He is also good at many talents. He can be called a man of the generation.

Hosokawa Iori and several other female students were amazed by the science popularization given by the new classmate.

In the following school days, the topics discussed by the girls often revolved around the main candidates of the tennis club. After all, Hosokawa Iori’s psychological age is much older than that of the middle school students. After hearing too much gossip from those teenagers, she became less interested in tennis. When she was older, she gradually stopped paying attention to the news of the tennis club.

However, perhaps the first impression was deeper, she intentionally or unintentionally kept a heart for Liu Lianer, for example, when she ran into each other on the road, she would take a closer look, accidentally saw the books borrowed by the teenager in the library, and sometimes Feel curious, look through it quietly, or when students discuss the tennis club or mention each other's name, they will unconsciously prick up their ears to listen...

A little subtle, but that's about it.

Except for occasionally paying attention to the movement of this senior, Hosokawa Iori never thought of getting in touch with him further, and even at the end of the first school year, she did not have any conversation with him.

Hosokawa Iori is a quiet person. On campus, except for a few female classmates, she rarely interacts with others. The club she joins is a reading club with loose discipline and few activities, so let’s not talk about those seniors who are difficult to get close to. Even the classmates in the same grade, she didn't know much.

Of course, she also has two close buddies, one is called Tabe Mioi, a neighbor’s child, they have known each other for a short time, and because of their similar temperament, they went to and from school together, and soon became hot; the other is a long-time friend , male, named Mitsuaki Terashima, they can be regarded as "young tame dye", speaking of Hosokawa Iori will choose to study at Rikkai University, largely because of this friend, when Mitsuaki Terashima was in the fifth grade of elementary school, because of Her parents transferred to Kanagawa due to work transfers. After knowing that Iori Hosokawa also came to Kanagawa, she strongly recommended this well-known middle school in the Kanto area to her.

Speaking of Mitsuaki Terashima, I have to mention some "scandals" between the two.

During the first semester of junior high school, Hosokawa Iori, Terashima Mitsuaki and Tobe Mioi would often act together. What Hosokawa Iori didn't expect was that the good girl Tabe Mioi had a boyfriend early on. So the previous three-person action became a two-person relationship between Hosokawa Iori and Terashima Mitsuaki.

Mitsuaki Terashima is a boy, so naturally he won't hang out with girls all day long, but Iori Hosokawa has a very fixed schedule at school. Apart from class, he spends his lunch break and after-school work time in the library.So, Terashima Mitsuaki went to the library to find someone when he was free, and over time, "scandals" about the two people spread-how should I put it, Terashima Mitsuaki is a sunny and cheerful little guy, and Hosokawa Iori's appearance is Among the girls in this grade, they are also considered to be the best, and there will inevitably be some boys and girls with ulterior motives.

Hosokawa Iori didn't take these ambiguous and young middle school student romances to heart, and Terashima Mitsuaki seemed to be completely unaffected by the rumors, and he always had a calm attitude in front of girls. Nothing was affected.

Guo Yi passed away peacefully.

After being promoted to the second year of junior high school and divided into classes again, Hosokawa Iori went to group D and became the school committee of this year's class.She thought that her campus life was similar to that of the first grade, but unexpectedly, because of the existence of a certain person, her life this year was really "wonderful".

The guy who made her school life not so peaceful was named Kirihara Akaya.

An existence that makes teachers quite a headache.

After Kirihara's quizzes were full of red lights, the class teacher approached Hosokawa Iori, who was the best student in the class, and asked her to help guide the boy.

Kirihara is pure and innocent in nature, but has a hot temper, which sometimes makes people feel difficult to get along with. He is also the main candidate for the tennis club. The students in this class are more or less in awe of him.

Since Hosokawa Iori complied with the teacher's request, he fulfilled his duties as a school committee duty-bound.

It didn't go well at first.

However, after several contacts, the girl quickly understood Kirihara's character. From her point of view, the other party was a bit arrogant and cute in nature.

Although Hosokawa Iori is a bit introverted and relatively passive when interacting with others, once she has made up her mind, she acts decisively and simply, and does not care about Kirihara's rejection at the beginning, and devotes herself to tutoring the other party's homework.

Kirihara often acts very impatient, but luckily, he is not a character who likes to bully girls, so after a few times of running-in, the two can gradually get along peacefully.

An opportunity to make the relationship between the two become harmonious.

Hosokawa Iori is a otaku, and one of his hobbies is playing games and reading manga.

Kirihara happened to also like these two things, so they had a common topic, and the two soon became comrades in arms of the revolution.Hosokawa Iori cleverly used this opportunity to encourage and urge the other party to study hard.

The effect is very satisfying to her.

What followed was the trouble Kirihara caused.

After Kirihara borrowed her new game, she was discovered by Genichiro Sanada, the deputy head of the tennis club and school discipline committee member, and then... of course, it was confiscated.

Seeing the boy's pitiful expression, Hosokawa Iori couldn't get angry at all. After sighing silently, she resolutely approached the fierce and terrifying Sanada-senpai and asked her to return the game.

After a stern lecture, Sanada was still a bit humane, and after ordering that there would be no next time, she returned the game to her.

At that time, Liu Lian Er was also on the side.

Hosokawa Iori was a little embarrassed, Sanada's aura didn't make her feel intimidated—after all, she was just a middle school student—but for some reason, facing Yanagi Renji, who was also a middle school student, the girl felt a kind of pressure inexplicably.

In the second year of junior high school, because of Akaya Kirihara, Hosokawa Iori had a few contacts with people from the tennis club, that is, there were some conversations, not even friendship.

Among them, there were several times when Kirihara was reprimanded by Sanada for playing games, and she suffered together with her—God knows, she was innocent many times, and that guy Kirihara directly claimed that he gave him the confiscated games.

In view of the short mouth of cannibalism-Kirihara is still conscientious, and will invite people to eat from time to time-Hosokawa Iori has the cheek to replace the crime.

Twice, Yanagi Renji, who had been watching calmly, exposed Kirihara's excuse and saved Hosokawa Iori from Sanada's reprimand, and finally saved a little bit of image, and was not regarded by the emperor as the culprit for bringing up bad children.

Also in the summer of this year, Hosokawa Iori went to watch a tennis match for the first time.

At that time, she finally understood why the popularity of the tennis department on campus was so high.

Even a house girl like her who doesn't like sports is infected by the fiery and passionate atmosphere on the tennis court, so much so that she will go to watch every Lihai University match afterwards, if there is no accident.

Regional qualifiers, county conferences, Kanto competitions, Japan-US friendly matches, national competitions...

Basically, it is a non-stop watching.

She did not cheer excitedly at the scene like the members of the cheerleading team, but she sincerely hoped that Li Haida would go smoothly, win the championship, and complete the goal of winning the championship three times in a row.

While paying attention to the game of tennis, it is inevitable to pay attention to the people who play it.

Several female students watching the game admire Yukimura Seiichi and Sanada Genichiro the most, and some are more concerned about the new ace Kirihara Akaya, but Hosokawa Iori admires Yanagi Renji's style of play and style of play the most.

Although I don't understand it, the feeling that everything is under control is also very domineering!

Unfortunately, reality does not always go as planned.

Li Haida lost successively in the Kanto Competition and the National Finals, and regrettably won the runner-up.

Seeing the cheers from Qingxue and the silence from Li Haida, Hosokawa Iori suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

The girls beside her covered their mouths and cried emotionally. She had no intention of staying here any longer, and got up and left the final venue.

On the third day after the national competition ended, Hosokawa Iori happened to meet Liu Renji while visiting the bookstore, greeted him as usual, and left the bookstore after calling "Senior Liu".

I don't know when it started, but it began to rain outside.

Since she was not far from home, the girl who didn't plan to go out for a long time didn't carry an umbrella with her, so she had to wait at the door in distress, waiting for the rain to stop.

Less than half an hour passed, the rain continued, and there was still no sign of stopping.

At this moment, a flat voice sounded behind her: "Where are you going, I will see you off."

Hosokawa Iori was a little surprised.

Facing the girl's surprised gaze, Liu Lianer added: "The rain won't stop for a while."

Hosokawa Iori was very moved, but she didn't shy away from it: "I'm sorry for your inconvenience, Senior Liu."

Liu Lian Er opened the umbrella, walked out of the store first, and then looked at her quietly.

Hosokawa Iori walked under the boy's umbrella, explained the address, and then followed the boy, silently following in his footsteps.

Liu Lian Er kept silent, Hosokawa Iori wanted to ease the atmosphere, but couldn't find a suitable topic, so the two of them kept silent.

The girl walked a little slowly, and the boy's pace was not too fast, which just matched the speed of the other party.

Hosokawa Iori lowered her face slightly, and smiled silently: Although this senior has a cold personality and is not easy to get close to, he is very gentlemanly!

After the rainy day, Hosokawa Iori did not close the distance with Liu Renji, and they occasionally met, mostly to help Kirihara with homework.At the end of the second year of junior high school, after the seniors entered the high school, the girls who were no longer in the same class as Kirihara had completely lost any contact with Liu Renji.

As a third-year junior high school student, Hosokawa Iori no longer spent as much leisure as she did in the first and second grades, and began to devote more energy to her studies.

In my spare time, I went to watch Kirihara's games, and occasionally I could see several seniors from the high school watching from the sidelines.

There were also a few times when I saw Liu Renji in the library, but Hosokawa Iori didn't come forward to say hello because he was far away.

after that……

She also became a high school student.

Hosokawa Iori was still very quiet, and her social circle was still so narrow.There is a best friend who sticks with her boyfriend all day long, and another best friend starts dating girls.And when she was on vacation, she would be a standard house girl at home. On school days, besides attending classes, the library was still the place she spent most of her time at school.

She would still go to watch the tennis club's matches, paying attention to Liu Lian'er consciously or unconsciously.

That kind of subtle mood can't be called a secret love - of course, she doesn't deny that there is a little affection, but she never thought of more contact, or developing into a relationship.

The experience of living an extra life made her heart a little desolate—although she only lived 17 years in her previous life.

To her, it was enough for her to live her life in a quiet and ordinary way.

until……

The sudden and unexpected marriage contract completely changed her life.
