[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

Akashi's condition has been stabilized after the doctor's diagnosis and treatment. Under the effect of the medicine, he sweated a lot. After lying on the bed for a long time, his clothes were soaked. Saya stayed by his bedside to help him Wiping sweat, changing clothes, never leaving half a step, gradually, the heat on his body dropped through sweating, and it didn't rise until after twelve o'clock in the evening, and Saya and Masao Nakamura really breathed a sigh of relief.

"Saya, wake up, you will catch a cold if you sleep here..." Occasionally waking up from a dream, Akashi habitually looked at his side, and found that the pillow next to him was empty, and the person who was supposed to sleep on it was lying on his back. Dozing off beside his bed, he hurriedly woke her up to prevent her from catching a cold like himself.

"Uh...I'm sorry, I can't sleep. Are you thirsty? I'll get you a glass of water." No matter how sleepy she was, Saya never forgot her responsibility. A cup of warm water, and then carefully handed it to Akashi who just woke up.

"I'm fine, go to sleep and don't tire yourself out."

"Well, I'm a bit insomniac. I'll go to the kitchen and drink a glass of milk before going to bed." Saya didn't tell Akashi about meeting the stalker at night. His illness has just started to improve, so he can no longer worry about her. As for how to deal with the stalker Madness, it might be like what her grandfather said, try to deal with it as coldly as possible, maybe the person following her will disappear in a few days.

"What happened before you came to my house?" Although he had a fever, Akashi's ability to analyze and judge did not disappear. He felt that Saya had something on his mind all night. Something happened.

"No, you are overthinking. Go to sleep after drinking the water. Good night." Not wanting to make Akashi suspicious, Saya took the initiative to kiss him on the cheek, trying to stop him from continuing to ask. Unfortunately, Akashi is not so easy to dismiss, then The eyes of different colors have already seen through her concealment.

"Okay then, I'll let you off for now, and you'll have to confess to me honestly after I recover." It's not worthwhile to torture him while sick, so Akashi decided to get a good night's sleep before making a confession, and she couldn't escape even if she wanted to .

Seeing Akashi drinking water and laying back on the bed to fall asleep, Saya immediately felt relieved. She turned off the light in the room and went downstairs to the kitchen to find canned milk to solve the insomnia problem.In the past, she had aspirations for higher education, and in the end she had a stalker looking for trouble. It was not easy for her to sleep peacefully.

"Miss Shaye, are you still up so late?"

Masao Nakamura, who was checking the security measures at the mansion, met Saya in the kitchen. He thought she had fallen asleep with his young master, but he didn't expect to see her drinking milk in the kitchen late at night with two dark circles under her eyes. Sure enough, what happened at night That incident terrified her.

"Mr. Nakamura, Akashi just asked about what happened that night..." Saya felt that it would be more reassuring to talk to someone.

"You didn't tell him about that, did you? The president has confessed that you must not let him know about those things until the young master recovers."

Saya was frightened. She looked at Masao Nakamura nervously and asked, "You mean that Akashi's father already knew about it? Then I can't stay here, and I will cause you trouble."

"Miss Saya, calm down and listen to me." Masao Nakamura pushed Saya back on the chair and let her listen to him quietly, "After I reported the situation to the president, he wasn't angry with you , Instead, I want me to apologize to you, saying that it is the fault of the Akashi family for involving you in the disputes within the alliance, I hope you will not leave the young master because of this."

"Is the person following me tonight sent by other families in the alliance?" Saya finally understood what Shunji Akashi meant. Grandpa often told her that the business alliance controlled by the Akashi family is huge, and there are always one or two families who love to die To challenge the emperor at the center, the stalker is probably sent by those families, but why are they following her?See how she eats, drinks and sleeps?

"Yes, the alliance has been unstable recently, and the heads of each family want to replace the Akashi family, so they want to see what the other half of the next person in power is like."

"Wait." Saya interrupted Masao Nakamura, "Will the other half of the next person in power you mentioned be me?"

"Yes, no one is more suitable for the young master than you. The president has always been in favor of the two of you being together."

"No, no, no, he and I haven't even broken through the confession stage, let alone thought that the two of us would reach that point."

This time, Masao Nakamura put on an extremely surprised expression, and he said to Saya in a serious tone: "Impossible, the intimacy between the two of you is obviously a couple in love, how could it be possible that you can't even confess your love?" No, don't you even have a kiss?"

Saya's answer was blushing and shaking her head violently, oh my god, she must have a brain problem, how she mentioned to Masao Nakamura about the development of her relationship with Akashi is obviously a joke.

Unexpectedly, Masao Nakamura just sighed after being surprised, "It seems that the young master cherishes you very much. According to his personality, once he decides on something, it is difficult to change it, especially in terms of feelings. You can't run away anymore. Miss Sha Ye, if you have this idea, you will make the young master angry, please think twice before acting."

"But don't you think I developed too fast with him?"

"There's nothing wrong with falling in love in a hurry. The flashy meeting and the long-lasting relationship are no different from ordinary love. I think the alliance sent someone to follow you to confirm the relationship between you and the young master. Just imagine, the two of you People are really lovers, and then they get engaged and married, which means that when the Hashimoto family returns to the alliance, there is no need for the president to tell those troublemakers to shut up, and those people will naturally settle down. After all, they want to provoke the Snake family Snake beauty, they have to weigh themselves first."

"I am a snake, what is Seijuro?"

"Of course the young master is a highly talented snake tamer."

Well, the topic has gone to a strange direction, Saya tried hard to bring the conversation between the two back to the main topic, and now temporarily figure out the origin of the stalker, so what should we do next?If the situation doesn't change next week, is she really going to do what grandpa said?

"Mr. Nakamura, what can you do to deal with that stalker?"

Masao Nakamura thought for a while, took out a small loose-leaf notepad from his suit pocket, wrote the names of the two items on it with a pen, then tore off the paper and handed it to Saya.

"If you have time, go buy those two things and bring them with you, so that you will be safe when you go out alone. I will ask the young master to help you with other things."

"You don't want me and Seijuro..." Saya didn't dare to imagine it any longer, took a big turn, and in the end, it was just like what grandpa said, and the prophecy of the old belly snake was all fulfilled.

"Please work hard to become a real couple with the young master, I will bless you both."

real lovers?Masao Nakamura's words lingered in Saya's mind for a long time. She didn't understand where Akashi's confidence came from. Knowing that the future was still far away, he seemed to see the final result and firmly believed that the two could walk to the end hand in hand. Could it be that Everything is already arranged somewhere?She always felt that the encounter with Akashi had begun a long time ago...

*****

With sufficient sleep and the effect of medicine, Akashi woke up the next day and got rid of the entanglement of the disease, and his body temperature returned to normal. The symptoms at the time of the onset had all disappeared after the resistance returned.He sat up from the bed, but he didn't see the sleeping figure next to him, and what greeted him was still a cold pillow.

Getting out of bed to look for the person who didn't care about his body, Akashi found Saya at the desk, he walked towards her, and suddenly a form on the carpet attracted his attention.

Volunteer questionnaire?There are three blanks above, from top to bottom are the first to third volunteers, the second and third blanks have been filled with the school names, respectively, the University of Tokyo and Hitotsubashi University, the former is Japan's first national university, the latter It is one of the three major business universities in Japan. Unlike other famous daughters who choose women's universities, Saya takes the business major as his goal, which should be for better management of the family business in the future, and the vacant No. [-] Which one would the school of choice be?

Compared with the questions from last night, Akashi chose to solve the latter first. He put down the form in his hand, walked up to Saya, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Saya, it's time to get up, don't lie on the table anymore." Go to bed."

"Hmm...let me sleep again, I won't be able to sleep until dawn..." Saya, who was sleeping on the table, had no intention of waking up, but fell into a deeper sleep, completely unaware that Akashi had woken up.

"Very good, dare to ignore me, you are dead." Facing the sleeper, Akashi didn't want to talk nonsense with her, but directly picked her up, put her back on the bed and continued to sleep.

"Let me...get down, I can walk by myself..." Awakened by Akashi's forceful action, Saya struggled to push him away, but in vain, he controlled her movements, so that she had no chance to resist.

"Okay, Saya, let me take this opportunity to ask, what happened before you came to my house last night, why did you and Uncle Masao keep it from me?" Putting Saya back on the bed, Akashi began to confess to her.

"No...nothing happened last night." Akashi's question drove Saya's sleep bugs away, and she quickly denied it, resolutely keeping the matter secret.

"Really? You know I hate it when you hide something." Akashi pulled the distance between the two of them closer, bringing his face closer to her, "You mean? Or don't you? Disobey my order, You should have known the consequences could be serious."

"Stop! Great Demon King, you are too cunning to use this method of torture. I said, I will tell you everything, please don't play tricks on me again." Seeing that the lips of the two were about to meet, Saya hurriedly blocked him with his hand lips, preventing him from coming any further.

"This is not a tease, I just want to tell you that after the agreed date, the relationship between you and me will not stop at that moment." Pulling Saya's hand, Akashi lay down beside her, "Speak, What happened last night?"

"I was followed by someone. Mr. Nakamura said that other families in the alliance sent people to do it, and he told me to be careful when I go out these days." The paper couldn't contain the anger, and Saya had to repeat what Masao Nakamura told her to Akashi again. .

"Since those people want to know about the relationship between me and you, then I will help them." Akashi looked at Saya beside him, "Leaving school together after my club activities are over next week, don't act alone."

"I can solve the problem by myself." People need to be independent, and they can't always rely on others for help. Saya thinks that if he still has the ability, he should do it by himself instead of asking for help everywhere.

"This is a trouble caused by the Akashi family. Of course I want to help you. You are not allowed to refuse." The incident at the tea party cannot be repeated. Akashi decided to take this matter to the end. He will let those people understand that Saya is not something they can touch. people.
