Before she had time to speak about Ruth, Akashi saw Mrs. Chiyo leading Saya to the side hall of the main house. Her tone of voice was not so much kind and gentle as it was an illusion of concealment. He intervened from the sidelines, what exactly did she want to discuss with Saya?Why does he always have a bad feeling?

The uneasiness in his heart lingered, he could not ask rashly, he could only wait for the answer to the question, Akashi followed the old butler, walked through the corridor of the main house, and headed for the courtyard.During his last visit, he had only been to Saya's room, and he never thought that this old house would be as big as the Akashi family's other house.

Looking out from the corridor, you can see that the courtyard is full of four-season flowers and trees. It is the end of autumn, and it is the season when the red maple is gorgeous. He didn't have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery in late autumn. He believed that when he came to Hashimoto's house this time, Old Belly Snake must have other important matters to discuss with his father.

"Master Akashi, the two Patriarchs are right ahead, I don't want to disturb you, please do your own thing." The old butler in charge of guiding the way brought Akashi to the courtyard, in order not to disturb the two Patriarchs playing chess, he wisely left early, Let the three of them discuss matters quietly.

"Thank you, Grandpa Takahashi." After thanking the old housekeeper, Akashi approached the place where the two elders were sitting. , the two men with excellent hearing already knew of his coming.

"Seijuro, the school festival in Luoshan is already over?" Without moving his eyes from the chessboard, Akashi Shunji frowned, busy confronting the old belly snake in the chess game. He has been busy in the company all these years, He seldom finds an opponent to discuss his chess skills, and he happened to be invited to visit today, and he also took this opportunity to play a game of chess with Old Belly Snake.

"Yes, there are still some chores to deal with after the school festival, so I came back now, I kept you waiting." Sitting down next to his father, Akashi looked at the chessboard, the battle on it had entered the decisive stage, They clung to each other's weaknesses and did not relax at all. If this continues, this game of chess will become a dead end sooner or later.

"I said Demon King, for your son, you played this game of chess really ruthlessly, unfortunately, this time it was a dead end." After a stalemate for more than half an hour, Hashimoto Shin couldn't help but picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, Temporarily relieves thirst in the throat.

"It's because you don't want to compromise that we dragged ourselves to this point. How about it? Do you accept my proposal?" Even though the chess game was dead, Akashi Shunji was still in a good mood. The game seemed to be a tie, but in fact he won half a point , at least on a certain matter, he can make Old Belly Snake make concessions.

"That matter is not a child's play. It's not enough for our elders to make decisions. It also depends on the young people's own ideas." It's not that Hashimoto Shinya is difficult to deal with and refuses to compromise, but that the development of feelings is like the changeable weather, maybe One day the quarrel will end. In order to avoid misunderstanding between the two parties, the engagement matter must be handled carefully.

"That's right." Akashi Shunji looked at his son beside him, and asked softly, "Seijuro, what do you think if the parents of both of us advance the knot ceremony?"

"Father, I agree with your decision." Being able to advance the wedding ceremony just removed the invisible thorn in Akashi's heart, "I don't know if Saya is what I think."

"Her, it's hard to say." It's not that Hashimoto Shinya likes to pour cold water on others, but he really knows the personality of his granddaughter too well. Before making some important decisions, she will not think about herself, but first consider others. Feeling, should I say this is a disadvantage or an advantage?

"Then let me persuade her. Before I get her answer, the matter of the wedding ceremony will be discussed first." It will be counterproductive to act too hastily. Akashi decided to talk to Saya first, and then make plans.

Shinya Hashimoto nodded, indicating that Akashi's method is feasible, "Then let you young people discuss it first, and we elders will make a decision."

"Yes." For Akashi, it is good news that the wedding ceremony can be brought forward. At least after Saya graduates and goes to university, his heart can be settled, and he no longer has to worry about the colorful world of university that will swallow her up.

In this way, the chess game in the courtyard came to a conclusion, and important matters were initially resolved. The two elders were tired from playing chess, so they got up and went back to the meeting room for a short rest. In the evening, there will be a family banquet waiting for the guests watching them.

*****

The family dinner at night was hosted by the chef from Kagawa himself. The dishes were obviously richer than the previous dinners at Hashimoto’s family. After being lectured by his grandmother, Saya was driven into the kitchen to help the chef. She does almost all of the cooking work, and when she finished her work and walked out of the kitchen, it was already formal dinner time.

"Saya, are you okay? If you don't feel well, I'll take you back to your room first." Sensing that Saya's complexion was not very good, Akashi first thought of her anemia symptoms, and the second was the psychological pressure problem. After all, Mrs. Chiyo I had a conversation with her, but I don't know the specific content. Now that I have such a bad face, it can be seen that the conversation was not pleasant.

"My health is fine. I was just in a daze just now. It's not a big deal." Sensing Akashi's concerned eyes, Saya immediately recovered from her thoughts. She quickly picked up a small piece of fish and put it in her mouth, trying to hide it. own uneasy look.

"Really?"

She said it was no big deal, that was the real problem.After getting along for a long time, Saya's small actions can't be hidden from Akashi's eyes, but at this time during dinner, it is inconvenient to chat, and he will ask after dinner.

"of course it's true."

Avoiding Akashi's gaze, Saya maintained a normal state, pouring wine and tea for the elders from time to time.Normally, when a person hears good news, he will feel happy, but she is just the opposite.Hearing that grandma said that the marriage ceremony should be advanced, her first reaction was surprise, and then she was worried. If the Akashi family and the Hashimoto family are married, the Oikawa family will definitely not let go of this good opportunity and take the opportunity to threaten them. She'll just kill Akashi then, no, she can't let that happen until the Winter Cup is over.

The family banquet for entertaining guests ended slowly in a peaceful atmosphere. As a junior, Sha Ye took advantage of the convenience of working at home, cleaned up the table, and slipped into the kitchen with the dishes in his hands to wash the dishes.And Akashi didn't want her to escape, so he also found a fair reason, put on an apron, rolled up his sleeves, and stood with her in front of the sink to wash the dishes.

"Seijuro, you go out quickly, there are no guests to help the master wash the dishes, you can't do these jobs." Not wanting to talk about that sensitive topic, Saya wanted to use the reason of housework to hide from Akashi for the time being, but her little trick was long gone. As expected by Akashi, when she opened her mouth to say the reason for expulsion, he sealed it with a kiss, suppressing her protest.

"I'm not one of those dandies, I can easily handle the work of washing dinner dishes, don't make excuses to avoid me." Her thoughts are too easy to see through, and Akashi has no scruples, leaving his mark on her lips again , "You already know about the knot ceremony?"

Sha Ye wiped the plate in his hand, nodded uneasily, "That's a good thing, but it's too early for you and me, in these three years, you should have more important things to do instead of being meaningless Covenant bondage."

Hearing these words, Akashi, who was washing the dishes, stopped, looked at Saya, and said, "Do you think that what I said in the Lord of Light competition was all a joke?"

Seeing Akashi's face approaching again, Saya stepped back subconsciously, but for some reason, under the invisible low pressure, her legs could not move, even if she was lucky enough to move her body back, there was only the wall behind her, nothing out on a limb.

"I can honestly tell you that the words I said in the game are all from my heart." Pressing Saya against the wall, Akashi said what he had never said in his heart, "I heard that the wedding ceremony can be advanced today. I'm really happy, because I know that this is the best way to trap you. There is still one year to go before you graduate. I don't want to let you go, whether it's university or abroad. Stay with me."

Saya was stunned. She never thought that Akashi would say such a thing. In her eyes, he has always been confident and calm. Even if he is dealing with difficult emotional problems, he will have a solution. Now, he confessed the truth to her Feelings, why should she hide from him the reasons for avoiding him, he should know sooner or later.

"Sorry, Seijuro, I'm just afraid that after Akashi and Hashimoto's family become in-laws, the Oikawa family will take action. I'm not afraid that they will come to trouble me. I'm afraid that it will affect your participation in the Winter Cup. I know Yes, that game is very important to you, so, I think..."

"You don't have to think about anything, you just need to nod and agree." Akashi interrupted Saya. He didn't want to hear her concerns. Regarding the Oikawa family's problems, the elders already have coping strategies, and basketball and love are two different things He can tell the difference, and naturally he won't let the troubles caused by the relationship affect the basketball game. Her concerns are really meaningless in his eyes.

"Great Demon King, I don't even have time to think about it?" The marriage ceremony is not a child's play, aside from the relationship, it is related to the interests of the two families, and she does not want to act hastily, so as not to lead to bitter consequences in the future.

"What about you? I want a chance to monopolize you, will you give it to me?" Akashi narrowed the distance between the two, his face was getting closer and closer, and their lips barely touched.

This is undoubtedly a strong temptation. Saya's face was flooded by the red tide. When she couldn't escape, she could only look at Akashi head-on. In the end, her persistence was disintegrated. The ghostly mouth responded to him.

"I promise you."

After getting the answer he wanted, a satisfied smile appeared on Akashi's lips, and the marriage ceremony was not the end of the relationship between the two.On the contrary, this is a new beginning. As he said in the game, he will join hands with her on the road of life, and the wedding ceremony is also to make her truly his fiancée. Finally the wait came.

"Since we have reached an agreement, let's hurry up and finish the work at hand." Akashi smiled and looked at the piles of dishes in the sink, "If we continue to procrastinate, we will be reprimanded by our elders."

"Ah, Great Demon King, why didn't you say it earlier, I will be scolded to death by my grandma." Although it was hard to get out of the tenderness given by Akashi, but thinking of grandma's face scolding, Saya immediately woke up , she hurriedly picked up the plate to wipe it, and speeded up, hoping to finish the work as soon as possible.

"Saya, I'll help you, don't worry." Compared to Saya's panic, Akashi was much calmer. He took Saya's plate and helped her share part of the work.

"But it's not good to ask guests to help with the dishes..." Saya still felt that it was inappropriate. Hashimoto's family has always been hospitable to guests, and they never let guests help with housework. How come in her generation, this rule has become invalid up?

"It's nothing bad. Washing dishes is also one of the pleasures of lovers. You have to get used to it." Akashi splashed the foam of dish soap on Saya's face, "Take it as an internship for our future, come on, Saya."
