Peach Blossom Debt

Japan's winter this year is extremely cold.

"Mother." Atobe Qingxia, who was wrapped like a small rice dumpling, ran in from the door on her short legs.

Standing in front of the bookshelf, Bei Guran turned over a page of the book and said without raising his head, "Atobu Qingxia, wash your hands first."

Atobe Kiyoka raised her small eyebrows under the woolen cap, "Mother, it's not fair, you didn't even see if there were any stains on my hands." She said solemnly, with a strange indifference in her immature voice.

Bei Guran seemed to have considered Atobe Qingxia's proposal for a second, tilted his head slightly, and stared at the little girl indifferently with his brown eyes.

Atobe Qingxia, five years old this year, has baby fat on her face, but her expression is serious and indifferent, quite like her mother-Ms. Atobe, that is, her grandmother commented-this is pure nonsense, what kind of child Can you see the style of mother and father from his immature appearance?The baby fat hasn't evened out yet.

However, Atobe Kiyoka's expression of looking at Bei Guran with a serious face and a calm expression is indeed very special.

Her temperament is indeed very similar to Bei Guran.

Bei Guran glanced at Atobe Qingxia's steamed bun face, and frowned slightly.

Recently Mrs. Atobe gave Kiyoka Atobe too much food.

It’s not that I can’t understand the feeling of having a granddaughter for the first time, but every time Kiyoka Atobe goes to her grandparents’ house, she is regarded as a top baby in the country and left in Africa for many years without being taken care of, so she has to desperately feed her. Obviously, Atobe Qingxia didn't inherit the good gene that Bei Guran didn't gain any weight, and she already had a tendency to become a chubby bun—and a female bun.

Taking into account Keigo Atobe's point of view that children grow up, Bei Guran decided to give up thinking about it for the time being.

Anyway, if he is still a bun in a few years, Atobe Keigo himself will take the top baby of Atobe House to exercise, and it is useless for Atobe Kiyoka to cry—although she probably can't cry.

Bei Guran glanced at Atobu Qingxia's gloves, and seemed a little surprised that she didn't even take them off today.

Atobe Kiyoka is a peculiar little girl, who perfectly inherited the contradictions from her parents, especially the athletic attributes like Atobe Keigo-Atobe Kiyoka is very active, completely different from Bei Guran's laziness, she She doesn't really like to stay and do nothing, and she doesn't like to play with those technological products such as tablet computers and touch-screen mobile phones all day long. She likes to run outside, to play in the yard, garden and sometimes in the park outside; but She also inherited the attributes of Bei Guran's sports waste material - Qingxia Atobe is a girl who can fall for no reason while walking on flat ground while wearing flat shoes.

But Qingxia Atobe is a girl who doesn't cry or make noise, very smart, she is stubborn and proud like her father in her bones, the older she gets, the less she cries surprisingly.Although Kiyoka Atobe never expressed her meaning when she was young, she seemed to know that she was born to be a queen rather than a squeamish princess, just like his father was always a king rather than a prince.

But few people noticed her inner pride and stubbornness, because she was too quiet.

Everyone in the Atobe house commented that the little princess of the Atobe family is a girl who will not disturb people.

Perhaps Qingxia Atobe spends the most time with Bei Guran, and is deeply influenced by Bei Guran. Her appearance and personality are exactly the same as Bei Guran's, she doesn't like to make noise, she seems a little introverted, and she doesn't like to tease people very much.

The so-called three-year-old looks older and seven-year-old looks old, so almost all relatives and friends of the Atobe family say that Atobe Kiyoka, who has long purple-gray hair, dark blue eyes, and tear moles at the corners of his eyes, looks like Atobe Keigo, A girl with a personality like Bei Guran.

Only Watanabe Arimi and Ninaku Yushi have made it clear that Kiyoka Atobe is basically a collection of contradictory personalities of Atobe Keigo and Kita Guran, especially the poisonous tongue—Ninzu Yuuji and Watanabe have never met Atobe by coincidence. When the pampered daughter of a consortium poured fruit juice on a maid who offended her, Qingxia Bu said coldly, "Please don't leave your parents at the banquet until you distinguish between fruit juice and face wash, this lady." , This is not enough common sense for IQ problems."

That daughter's complexion was ashen, it was obvious that Atobe Qingxia had completely defeated the ten-year-old daughter at the age of five.

Who knows what Qingxia Atobe has been instilled by her parents, anyway, when she stares at people coldly with those dark blue phoenix eyes that are quite similar to Keigo Atobe, she still looks quite imposing , plus she likes to put on a sullen face after following Bei Guran for a long time.

And at any banquet, Kiyoka Atobe's identity has an absolute advantage and cannot be despised and offended by anyone.

So it can be seen how clever and vicious Atobe Kiyoka is inside.

"I haven't fallen today, mother." Qingxia Atobe waved his hand to Gu Ran, affirming that his gloves were clean—indeed, those blue and white gloves were clean.

The book in Bei Guran's hand fell heavily on the ground.

"Mother?" Atobe Kiyoka blinked in confusion.

"..." Bei Guran tilted his head, staring straight at a white card the size of a poker card in Atobe Kiyoka's hand, for the first time a very shallow water appeared in his brown eyes trace.

"Mother?" Atobe Qingxia dragged her little slippers and ran over to Bei Guran, raised her head and grabbed the hem of Bei Guran's sweater. At her age, she couldn't understand Bei Guran's expression mean.

"Where did you get it?" Bei Guran squatted down, reached out and grabbed the white card, his tone was so shallow that he couldn't hear his emotions.

Some of the cards have flame patterns drawn on a gold border, and on the flip side are gilded Chinese characters.

——The human face does not know where to go, but the peach blossoms are still smiling at the spring breeze.

There was only one line of poetry written on it.

However, Bei Guran looked at the poem and smiled, "I don't know where the human face is going, but the peach blossoms are still smiling at the spring breeze. The weather is so cold, where are the peach blossoms smiling at the spring breeze?" She read it once, and turned her head away. Looking at Qingxia Atobe, "Where did you get it?"

"The door." Qingxia Atobe understood what Bei Guran was asking this time.

"So you didn't fall down today because you didn't go out today?" Bei Guran raised his eyebrows.

Kiyoka Atobe blinked, and his dark blue eyes shifted.

"A cat came here with it in its mouth." Kiyoka Atobe said - looking more like trying to change the subject.

"Cat?" Bei Guran changed the topic as Atobe Qingxia wished, and sometimes she was willing to save some face for this self-respecting little girl.

"Well, a cat." Atobe Kiyoka said emphatically, as if worried that Bei Guran would not believe it.

But she doesn't need to worry about this, because Bei Guran did see the cat not far away.

A white cat with black paws and bright eyes.

The cat seemed to signal Bei Guran to follow it, and looked out and then at Bei Guran.

Bei Guran tilted his head, "Qingxia Atobe, do you want to meet the magician?"

"Father said that magic is deceiving, so magicians are liars." Kiyoka Atobe said solemnly, but the strong curiosity that belonged to children was faintly revealed in his eyes.

The cat stretched itself, as if it had become spiritually enlightened, and meowed toward Gu Ran in a rush to the north.

Bei Guran took Atobe Qingxia and followed the cat to the door, "That's because your father failed to meet a real magician." There was a rare trace of obvious joy in her cold voice.

"Has mother seen it?" Atobe Kiyoka asked back.

"Well, I've seen the most powerful magician in the world." Bei Guran's brows and eyes slightly curved, outlining a faint smile, "I can do magic that others can't."

Seeing Bei Guran go out in winter, the old housekeeper was a little surprised.

Bei Guran really doesn't like going out very much.

"Young Madam, it's cold outside." The old housekeeper put on an overcoat for Bei Guran, and gave an order without asking any more questions.

Bei Guran put on his overcoat, changed the indoor slippers into snow boots, and put on the gloves handed over by the old housekeeper.

She was always afraid of the cold, not to mention that this winter was extremely cold.

It was sunny outside, and of course, there was a layer of snow on the ground.

"Isn't that magician a liar?" Atobe Qingxia was still very concerned about the magician that Bei Guran said.

"She also deceives people, using a method that cannot be cracked." Bei Guran was standing in the yard, breathing shallowly, exhaling white mist, and she lowered her head, looking at Atobe Qingxia's face Puzzled the little face who didn't understand at all, "That magician likes to deceive people the most, there is no one she can't fool, and she likes to deceive herself the most."

"Mother? Are you happy?" Atobe Kiyoka asked with a raised face.

"I'm not very happy." Bei Guran shook his head, took Atobe Qingxia's hand and walked out of the yard, "That liar owed me a huge debt." Not far away, the cat was licking him cat paw.Strangely, except for Bei Guran and Atobe Qingxia, no one seemed to have noticed how wrong it was for the cat to stay in the snow in the winter.

Atobe Kiyoka blinked, seeming to understand, but also seemed not to understand, but Bei Guran did not explain further.

Bei Guran glanced at the cat indifferently.

The cat was so miraculous that it seemed to know something. It stood up, shook its fur, and ran outside.

Bei Guran and Atobe Qingxia followed the cat all the way to a small park.

A very ordinary park, a small park that Atobe Qingxia would occasionally come to play - a small park that looks extraordinarily beautiful under the cover of white snow.

Bei Guran's footsteps paused.

But Qingxia Atobe had already run into the park, dragging Bei Guran's hand.

The park is very quiet and inexplicably warm, except for the creaking sound of the iron chains on the swing. Such silence makes Bei Guran suddenly feel like the world is cut off from this park.

Bei Guran raised his eyes slightly, and a faint emotion seemed to flash in his brown eyes.

"Meow~" The white cat with black paws scratched its face with its paws, moved to the edge of the swing, turned over and lay down lazily.

A chuckle scattered on the wind.

That voice is very special, a little low, but not deep, inexplicably ethereal, but not that kind of penetrating ethereal, let alone sweet or bright, but with a kind of pleasant and light sound with magical power.

This is not Bei Guran's familiar voice.

The corners of Bei Guran's lips slightly raised.

The voice she was familiar with more than ten years ago was not like this.

But she was able to accurately capture the owner of this voice, even without her innate strong intuition - the idiot she was familiar with - not her kind of weird intuition but still ordinary in essence A human mortal, her best friend, a strange existence that came out of nowhere.

Bei Guran finally raised his head slowly, and looked over against the extraordinarily bright golden sunlight in winter, and saw the beautiful silhouette through the cracks in the sunlight.

It was white hair, flying with the wind, very long and soft, as soft as the curvature of the lips of the thin sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sitting on the swing with her head tilted to one side.her best friend...

Bei Guran tilted his head, and suddenly remembered the first time he saw the little girl who was able to beat water with glass marbles in the park. She was thin and small, with a sickly appearance, and her skin was white and transparent. Cyan blood vessels are almost visible.Bei Guran recalled that guy's face, it looked harmless to humans and animals, with a bright and innocent smile.In her memory, that girl, her best friend, has always been so small, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind, as soft as a small animal, or as a smart and elegant cat, cunningly disturbing others Life.

Too long, and that was many years ago.

Yan Lingluo, that harmless brat who seems harmless to humans and animals but is actually a murderous weapon in the world, is somewhere she doesn't know...

Bei Guran's eyes landed precisely on the girl who was sitting and shaking on the swing. Her white hair was fluttering and her white robe was fluttering. The place already looks like this.

Bei Guran is still Bei Guran, but she is no longer the young girl in her prime.

Yan Lingluo is no longer Yan Lingluo, but Lingli who always retains the appearance of a girl, like a demon who does not know the end of her lifespan.

There is a gap called time and race between them. In the cycle of life, an encounter that may be accidental or inevitable has made today.

All stories start with time travel, especially the story of her Bei Guran.

And the time travel at the beginning is also related to this girl.

More than ten years ago, Bei Guran came to this world from her original world when she was 15 years old, just because Bei Guran's intuition told her that Yan Lingluo—or her best friend encountered troubles and she needed her help.So Bei Guran came, crossed over, left everything behind, and came without hesitation.

That young girl whom she doesn't know how to call now is the only reason she can abandon all responsibilities including the head of the Bei family.

As for Yan Lingluo, or the cause of Lingli's predicament—Bei Guran's eyes rested on the person behind the girl who pushed her on the swing. The long hair was loosely and casually loose, and there was a relaxed and calm smile on the corners of the pretty lips, which was a bit unreal - this young man was her dilemma.The boy was reincarnated into this world and forgot the girl, but the girl chose to come to him.

Bei Guran didn't fully understand the story between them.

But she knew that this handsome young man was terrifying.

Unlike Keigo Atobe's kingly arrogance, this young man once looked down on the world from a height beyond human beings as a human being. Just touching his eyes with suspicious thoughts will sting like an electric shock , as if feeling the insignificance of oneself in front of an insurmountable and unfathomable existence.

Bei Guran saw the swaying swing stop, the girl turned her head and smiled at the boy, whispering something.

The young man just smiled, as if a little helpless, but finally stepped forward, his eyes fell on Atobe Qingxia who was holding Kita Guran, and he smiled very gently.

Atobe Qingxia blinked, looked up at Bei Guran, "Mother?"

"Go and play." Bei Guran said and let go of his hands.

Atobe Kiyoka looked at the boy—obviously he was a stranger to her, but the boy’s smile was very gentle, and he seemed to know his mother—the boy stretched out a hand, his fingers were as long as It was extremely beautiful, but what caught the eye was a beautiful golden-red flame suddenly appeared in his palm.

Atobe Kiyoka's eyes lit up, and he ran towards the boy, but fell forward inexplicably. ,

The boy raised his other hand lightly, Kiyoka Atobe seemed to be lifted up in the air, and was safely delivered to the boy's side.

Atobe Kiyoka still had a calm expression on his face, but his eyes were full of curiosity and joy.

Bei Guran quietly watched the boy take Atobe Kiyoka a few steps away. There seemed to be a strange warmth around the boy, even the cold wind in the air was melted, and Atobe Kiyoka observed curiously. The flame in the boy's palm.

Looking at the flame-like young man, Bei Guran didn't seem to worry much about Atobe Kiyoka. After all, as long as that scary but gentle boy is willing to take care of Atobe Kiyoka for a while, nothing in this world can hurt her.

There is only this young man who can do everything as he pleases, has nothing to worry about in the world, is as free as the wind, and as cunning as a cat, Lingli is also troubled and his heart is stuck in a deadlock.

So she asked Ren Miaomiao to bring her to this world, and asked Ren Miaomiao to bring her back at a certain time. She came to help her best friend, to break her knot, to take care of the one who would cause trouble everywhere but always laughed. An innocent-looking idiot bear kid.But that was only a short period of time after she came to this world, and Lingli would soon no longer need her help.

The corners of Bei Guran's lips curled up. Maybe at that time she also knew that Lingli could solve the predicament by herself, but she wanted to meet that idiot to make sure that she was all right, so she left everything behind.After all, the time and race gap between that guy and her has always existed, maybe meeting again is a matter of the next life cycle, and whether they can become close friends in the next cycle is another matter.

It was just beyond Bei Guran's expectation—maybe she had a premonition of what she would encounter—here, she met Atobe Keigo, met a love, and met her future.

"Are you really going to stare at me in a daze until I leave, Ah Bei?" The girl tilted her head and smiled at her, with her hair hanging down her shoulders, she interrupted Bei Guran's deep thinking with a quite natural expression.

"Well, being so reserved makes me feel like I'm looking for the wrong person, Zero." Bei Guran stood there and said calmly.

"Hmm..." The girl blinked, "Mommy Bei, your poisonous tongue is much higher."

"If this allows you to settle the account, thank you for the compliment, it's an honor." Bei Guran said quite calmly.

Everyone knows that Bei Guran hates others who default on their debts, but few people know that there is a person who will always owe her debts and she will never be angry.

The girl stood up from the swing, jumped on tiptoes to Bei Guran's side, landed lightly, dexterously like a cat, approached Bei Guran with an innocent smile, and approached like a white butterfly, she turned her head to look at her , "How about I give you a memory confusion, do you think you will forget that I owe you money?"

"I'm afraid I'll never forget the money you owe." Bei Guran's expression remained unchanged.

"..." The girl blinked, like a cunning cat thinking about something, "I didn't expect you to come here again."

"..." Bei Guran stared at the girl for a while, and let her change the subject, "Are you surprised?"

"Not at all." The girl laughed happily, like a child, "I said at that time that you were full of love affairs, when did I say I missed it."

"Yes, yes, you are never wrong." Bei Guran said perfunctorily, as if on purpose.

The girl frowned with a smile.

At that moment, it seemed to go back to a long, long time ago. They were still Yan Lingluo who liked to collect gems and Bei Guran who liked to play with money when they were teenagers.

"Don't you want the Bei family?" the girl asked her.

"I want to be able to create it myself." Bei Guran replied.

"Your daughter is much cuter than you." The girl said with a smile.

"Then I'm really sorry that I didn't make you think I'm cute." Bei Guran said calmly.

"Grandpa Bei Kuan is very good. His granddaughter has become a bachelor. The new patriarch of the Bei family is a very interesting person, but he obviously doesn't have your talent for business." walk.

They walked along the paths in the park, talking in low voices.

Subtle voices came from the park, and I felt inexplicably quiet and gentle.

Time never seemed to pass so fast.

When they came back after walking around, Atobe Kiyoka was playing on the swing, the young man could swing the swing high with a light push with one hand, Atobe Kiyoka had a sullen face but bright eyes.As the sky was getting dark, the figures of the boy and the little girl were drawn very long, but there was no trace of impatience on the boy's face.

As soon as Atobe Qingxia saw Bei Guran, he jumped off the swing, staggered and almost fell.

However, Bei Guran vaguely saw the tear mole in the corner of Atobe Qingxia's eyes flashed cinnabar for a moment, Atobe Qingxia shook a few times, but did not fall to the ground, but stood firm and ran towards her.

"Ah Bei." The girl called out with a smile.

"Huh?" Bei Guran raised his eyes.

The girl passed her by.

"In the past, I didn't need to ask you if you would go with me, because you would definitely agree." The girl's nice voice was soft in the wind, and she crossed the North Guran and walked towards the boy, with a smile on her lips, without turning her head, "Now I'm afraid there is no need to ask..."

Bei Guran was moved for a moment.

"Mother." Atobe Qingxia grabbed Bei Guran's hand. She didn't wear gloves, but her small palm was very warm.

Bei Guran raised his eyes and glanced at the young girl. They were looking at each other and smiling, and gradually disappeared in front of Bei Guran and Atobe Qingxia.

——"What did you do?" the girl asked with a soft smile.

——"A little gift, to keep her safe forever." The boy whispered in the girl's ear, which made the girl's ears blush, and she smiled happily.

"Northern Guran." A low, familiar voice came from behind, like the end of a violin, so pleasant to hear.

Bei Guran turned his head and saw Keigo Atobe who was wearing a dark long coat who came here at some point, looking at her with raised eyebrows.Those familiar eyebrows, that sharp gentleness... She watched Atobe Kiyoka running towards Atobe Keigo with her short legs, and was then easily hugged by him in his arms, she couldn't help but curled her lips into a slight smile , The cold eyebrows amazed the years and dumped the years.

Atobe Keigo twitched his brows slightly, and walked forward with Atobe Kiyoka in his arms, "Why are you in the mood today, huh?"

"Come and ask for an amulet." Bei Guran quietly looked at the tear mole in the corner of Atobe Qingxia's eyes, his expression was cold, but his eyes were full of tenderness.

Atobe Keigo hugged Atobe Qingxia with one hand, covered Bei Guran's cheek with one free hand, and then went to hold her.

Bei Guran gave Keigo Atobe a sideways look, and let Keigo Atobe lead her home. His palms were so warm that the temperature could be transmitted through the knitted gloves.

There is really no need to ask.

Everyone has their own future.

The human face does not know where to go, Peach Blossom still laughs spring breeze.

When you are running towards your future, I am also running towards my future.
