I won't tell the field I like him

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the ordinary and noisy middle school life between Qiyin and Chang Jingsi of Xishanyuan has entered the third year.

Xishanin Qiyin is 15 years old. Not long ago, her father received a special commission and went to the distant Fukuoka Prefecture.

It is said that it was because a big monster who had been sleeping for a long time woke up.

High-risk commissions are expensive.Although he never told his daughter so as not to worry her, and he always pretended to be in good health on weekdays, the Patriarch of Xishanyuan’s health was actually approaching its limit. Before leaving this world, he wanted to save as much time as possible for his tribe Down some property.

It's just that the risk of exorcising the big monster is quite high. Since the Patriarch of Xishanyuan fell ill, his demon power has gradually faded away from before. Fortunately, the Patriarch Chang agreed to send some people to support him after hearing the situation, and went with him to exterminate the monster.

The Patriarch of Xishan Courtyard has been there for more than half a month.

Xishanyuan Qiyin has been in contact with her father, but after returning home last night, she suddenly couldn't contact her father, and even the servants who accompanied her father had no news.

Qi Yin was flustered suddenly, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart.It just so happened that the next day was the weekend, she washed up after waking up early, and went straight to the residence where Chang Jingsi lived, wanting to inquire about information.

The doorbell was rang three times but no one opened the door.Only then did she remember that that guy would go back to live in his ancestral home on weekends, so she had to take another two-hour tram ride to Nagano Prefecture.

**

"Sister Qiyin, why are you here?"

Hearing someone knock on the door of the bedroom, Zhang Jingsi opened the door and saw that it was Qiyin who came, quite surprised.After being stunned for a moment, he laughed and teased, "This is really rare, is it going to rain red?"

On other days, Qi Yin would definitely quarrel with him.

But today is different, she is impatient, after entering Chang's house, she ran all the way to Zhang Jingsi's room, she is exhausted at the moment, with her hands on her knees, she gasped and raised her head, "Jingsi! You know me Where is daddy?"

Zhang Jingsi stroked his chin, "Is it the owner of Xishanyuan? If I remember correctly, he seems to be in Shizuoka County to eliminate demons."

"I know! But he didn't contact me last night, and he didn't answer the phone this morning, and none of the clansmen who went with him responded..."

Qi Yin became more and more panicked as she thought about it, with fear in her eyes and fine sweat on her forehead, "I'm worried that something happened. Now, is there someone from the Chang family going with me? Can you ask me? Please!"

Having known each other for many years, it was rare for Zhang Jingsi to hear his Qingmei pleading for herself in such a low voice.In front of him, she never had to pretend, because she was not convinced by him, so she had always looked like she was hated since she was a child.

It has been five years since the two first met.Rao is the same age, as a boy, Chang has gradually grown half a head taller than her.

Zhang Jingsi focused his eyes on the uncharacteristic praying voice, and agreed: "I see, you wait here, I'll be right back."

After speaking, he walked around her at the door and walked out of the room.

Qi Yin waited anxiously in Shiba Jingji's room.It's not like her father didn't forget to contact her when he went out to eliminate demons, but this was the first time her intuition was not good.

She is born with strong demon power and her intuition has always been accurate. If something had not happened, she would not have been so disturbed, and even ran to Chang's house on purpose to lower her body to inquire about the situation with his deadly enemy.

Don't have an accident, it will definitely not happen.

Father is an experienced demon exorcist, and there are many servants of the Xishanyuan family and the subordinates of the Chang family around him, so it is impossible for him to——

"Sister Qiyin."

Chang Jingsi, who had been away for about half an hour, returned to the room and called out Qi Yin's thoughts.

Qi Yin hurriedly raised her head, her face turned pale in an instant after seeing Zhang Jingsi showing some forbearance.

She sat on the tatami mat, swallowed a mouthful of air, and asked with trembling lips, "...how is it?"

Zhang Jingsi didn't answer immediately, and closed the door first, then went to sit in front of her.

The stakes were high, and the casual smile that was always on his lips was gone.

"Sorry, it's bad news."

The moment he heard his answer, Qi Yin's tears that had been swirling in her eyes fell instantly, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What is it?"

The two have known each other for many years, and Zhang Jingsi knows how sad she will be after knowing the truth.

But such a serious matter, there is no need to cover up.

It's just the fate of the demon extermination.

"The entrustment has been completed, but the Patriarch of the Xishan Academy was injured during the expulsion process and passed away last night."

Clap.

Qi Yin felt that her entire world was shattered.

She stared at Zhang Jingsi's face for a few minutes in a daze, then her eyes changed, she frowned and said firmly: "...you are lying. You are deliberately trying to see me in a mess, right?"

Qi Yin stood up with red eyes, grabbed Chang Jingsi's collar, and obviously knew the answer, she still choked up in disbelief and said, "Jingsi, it doesn't matter how you tease me, but this time, don't lie to me. ..."

Her hands were trembling, and her face was full of begging.

Zhang Jingsi looked at her calmly, and said lightly, "Qi Yin, accept the reality."

Qi Yin paused for a moment with the hand that was holding onto his collar, and then tried harder.

There is nowhere to vent the sadness in my heart, I can only yell at the person in front of me, "How do you want me to accept the reality? My father is on a mission with the Chang family. Didn't your family agree to take care of my family? Didn't you agree? Want to protect my family? What about your promise?!"

She still couldn't believe that her father was dead, her mind was in chaos, she couldn't think rationally at all, and began to speak indiscriminately.

"My father is the head of the Xishanyuan family. He has been a demon master for decades. He has strong demon power and rich experience. How could he die so easily? Is it true that your family did something secretly? See if my family is not Shunyan, want to eradicate us?"

She started talking nonsense.

Zhang Jingsi, who knew the truth of the matter, did not defend his family.In this case, the correct approach may be to appease her emotions.

But he did not choose to do so.

"It must be sad, yes, how could it not be sad." Chang Jingsi grabbed Xishanyuan Qiyin's hand from his collar, "It's okay if you are angry with me now, but sister Qiyin, now You don't have time to escape."

Chang Jingsi said lightly, "The Patriarch of the Xishan Courtyard has passed away, and you are the new Patriarch. If you can't pull yourself together, then the Xishan Courtyard family..."

"It will disappear from then on."

***

The head of the family died suddenly, and the Xishanyuan family was in chaos.

The mother was so distraught that she cried into tears and stayed in the room all day long.But her uncles only shed a few tears hypocritically.

Qi Yin grew up a lot overnight, and the burden of the family also fell on her shoulders.

There is no time for grief and relief. After the exorcist of the Dichang family sent back his father's body, Qi Yin, the sole heir of the Xishanyuan family, personally presided over his father's funeral, and soon ascended the position of head of the family.

And the first thing after assuming the position of Patriarch is to divide the family.

That's right, after Qi Yin's father passed away, her uncles all found the patriarch and asked for a separation.

The former mainstay of the Xishanyuan family passed away suddenly, and their niece, who had just turned 15 years old, inherited the family. No matter how talented the niece was, she was still underage. How could they feel at ease?

Big Brother has left.I used to stay at home more or less because I was in awe of my elder brother, but now that my elder brother is no longer there, without protection, who would want to do such a high-risk job as exorcising demons?They can't even see monsters!

The family must be separated.The demon power contained in the blood of the demon extermination man is good for attracting monsters, but their demon power is so little that they have almost no demon power, and the real hidden danger is to stay in Xishanyuan's house.

Several people had made up their minds, and the patriarch tried to dissuade them several times, but they couldn't stop those who wanted to leave.

The patriarch found the prayer.Qi Yin didn't react too much after knowing this, and simply nodded in agreement.

She sneered and said, "Useless trash left behind will only open their mouths to eat. If you want to leave, you can leave. Even if I am the only one left, I can support the family."

The patriarch's eyes contained three points of pity and seven points of relief, and he said: "The property of the family is easy to manage. Your father's will left most of the property to you. It's just that this house was handed down from the ancestors and does not belong to the family. Your father is alone. If the family is divided, I'm afraid it will be divided equally among their brothers..."

"The ancestral house?" Qi Yin frowned: "How do we divide it? Don't they want to live here?"

The patriarch nodded: "So your uncles suggested that you buy their land."

"Ha, how dare you speak." Qi Yin laughed angrily, "I have been taken care of by my father all his life, drinking tea and playing cards at home all day, now I not only want to throw away the glory of the family and run away, but also want to take away from me what my father left me. The inheritance is gone, they really have it. What if I don't buy it?"

"They will sell it to other people. It is said that they are already in contact." The patriarch sighed again, "Son, what are you going to do?"

Qi Yin raised her head and stared at the beam above her head for a few seconds—that was the most important structure that bears the weight of the roof.

How could it be possible to separate.

"I want this home." She said firmly, "If you lose money, you can earn money. If you lose your home, you really have nothing."

***

The ancestral house was preserved, but the uncles who did not benefit from the will completely disregarded the blood relationship, and asked Qi Yin to buy it at the market price on the grounds that they still needed to support their families.

All the property left by the ancestors and the money my father earned over the years were all dispersed, and the uncles left with their wives and children. The originally lively Xishanyuan family suddenly became cold.

Xishanyuan Qiyin was struggling, so she fired a large number of servants, and let go of a group of domestic servants who no longer wanted to serve the Xishanyuan family. Take care of and are willing to continue to stay and work for the Xishan family.

Qi Yin is busy and tired, working all day.Ayaka feels sorry for the eldest lady who has no appetite to eat these days, so she specially made her favorite strawberry cake.But when Ayaka brought the cake to the room, Qi Yin didn't raise her head, and while drawing symbols on the paper with a brush, she said, "I'm not hungry."

Ayaka worried: "Miss, let's draw the talisman later, you haven't eaten for the past few days, what should you do if you continue to damage your body?"

"I don't eat, I don't have time." Qi Yin drew a talisman, put it aside to dry, and began to draw another one, "The family is short of money, and I am not well-known now, so I can't receive commissions. Fu made money."

"But Miss..."

"Okay, you put the cake down, I'll eat it later." Qi Yin rubbed her brows, "I know that."

Promise to eat it.

Ayaka finally felt relieved, put down the cake, but did not leave.

Qi Yin noticed this from the corner of his eye, "What else is there?"

Ayaka glanced at the schoolbag placed in the corner, hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "What about the school...?"

"I asked the teacher for leave. The teacher approved it under special circumstances."

"But it's the entrance exam soon. If Miss doesn't go to school, isn't she planning to go to high school?" Ayaka was really worried that Qi Yin would be impulsive and drop out of school in order to make money to support the family.

"No." Qi Yin guessed what Ayaka was thinking, and finally stopped the pen in her hand.

A faint smile finally appeared on her lips, "I promised Dad that I will finish junior high school and high school well. As for the entrance exam...my grades are not bad, even if I don't go in the last few months, I should It's not a big problem. It's just that the score will definitely not be able to be promoted to the high school of Lihai University. Anyway, my family has no money to let me continue to study in a private school, so I guess I can just choose an ordinary high school."

Speaking of this, Qi Yin suddenly thought of something, couldn't help but smiled and said with emotion, "That's great, now I don't have to go to school with Zhang Jingsi anymore."

When Qi Yin first heard the news of his father's death, Qi Yin's brain was in a state of confusion. He not only impulsively doubted Ji Chang, but also said exaggerated words to him.

It wasn't until her father's body was sent back that she heard the truth from the servant who accompanied her father to eliminate the demon.

It was true that his father was injured by a monster, but the reason why he was accidentally injured was because he was already terminally ill and weak.

But she obviously gets along with her father every day, but she has never noticed this.

In the end, the credit for getting rid of the big monster went to the dead father, but in fact, the father didn't succeed in getting rid of it at that time, it was a mess that the family members helped to clean up.

…………

Qi Yin thought that it would be fine if she didn't go to school with him in high school, but speaking of which, what face would she have to face Chang Jingsi.

She was arrogant and indulgent when she was a child, and she knew that she should please Zhang Jingsi, the young master of the Chang family, but she never took it to heart.

Later, relying on the friendship they grew up with, they have always been against him. Knowing that his bad mouth is only because they can't speak, they picked his words more than once and quarreled with him.

She has always lived with pride.She is not convinced by his family's influence, nor is she convinced that the Xishanyuan family should belong to his family, but now—she is still living under the protection of his family.

After the death of her father, all the people who had fawned on the Xishanyuan family changed their faces, and even the eleven families of the alliance began to crowd out her family.

How high those who once pursued her once valued her, now despise her so much.

Qi Yin's previous wish was to leave the control of the Chang family after inheriting the family.She used to think that her father had no choice but to hand over the fate of the family to the Zhang family, so she had always been hostile to Zhang Jingsi. It wasn't until today, five years later, that she discovered...

The Chang family that I hate the most turned out to be the big umbrella that has been protecting the Xishanyuan family and surviving in the demon world.

Now the members of the Xishanyuan family are walking around, and the capable exorcising masters in the family can be counted on one hand.

There is nothing left, and it can no longer provide any benefits for the Chang family. If the Chang family wants to kick her family away, they can do it at any time.

But they don't.Obviously it is the family that values ​​profit the most in the entire demon world, but when her family was at its lowest point, it protected her family from being swallowed up by other families.

The Dichang family is definitely not a family that values ​​love and righteousness. Perhaps this protection is just because the owner of the Dichang family looks at her poorly, or it may be because she thinks that it will not take too much effort to protect a mere Xishanyuan family.

But after the blood-related uncles all abandoned the Xishanyuan family, Qi Yin couldn't help but be grateful.

... She should go and thank Chang Patriarch, and also apologize to Chang Jingsi.

It's just that after a change in her mentality, Qi Yin really hasn't figured out how to face the day of her father's death, and wakes up her Chang Jingsi when she loses control.

Let's sell the talismans first to make money. She has too little money, so she has to earn money to support her family.It can't be that under the protection of the Chang family, the family is not overwhelmed by other families, but fell on top of the poor.

It was really embarrassing to see the ancestors.

The Xishan courtyard prayed more and more diligently, and had to take time to review homework outside of drawing talismans and painting arrays, and only slept for four hours a day.

Such days continued until the day of the senior high school entrance examination. She came to the school after a long absence, and after taking a seat according to the examination number, she saw Zhang Jingsi walking into the same examination room.

Not seeing each other for four months, Zhang Jingsi seems to have grown a little taller.He bowed his eyebrows and greeted her when he saw her, and then took his seat with a relaxed smile, preparing for the exam.

After all the subjects were handed in, Qi Yin walked out of the school with her schoolbag on her back, and met him who was leaning against the wall with his hands in his trouser pockets looking up at the sky without any surprise.

He must have been waiting for her on purpose.

"Ah, you're here, how did you do in the exam?" Seeing her appear, Chang Jingsi straightened up and walked towards her.

Is it an illusion?Qi Yin felt that his voice seemed to have changed a bit.

His voice changed during the months they hadn't seen each other?

………It actually sounds a little nice.

Qi Yin coughed and replied, "So-so."

"Really?" Dechang Jingsi smiled and looked at her, "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we saw each other. How is sister Qiyin doing?"

"……good."

"That's it."

"Ah."

"Want to chat?"

Qi Yin grasped the shoulder strap of her schoolbag, nodded, "...OK."

The two go home together.

Jingji Chang was walking on the left hand side of Qiyin, Qiyin lowered her head, staring at the uniform shoes on her feet as she walked.

"It's so quiet, it really doesn't look like you at all." Zhang Jingsi suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile, "Is there a lot of pressure after becoming the Patriarch?"

"……Um."

"What are you doing?"

"It's not clear, the work of the head of the family is much more complicated than I imagined."

After staying at home for four months, finally someone could listen to her troubles, Qi Yin couldn't help complaining, "I'm too young to receive the entrustment to eliminate demons for the time being, but there are many miscellaneous things at home, besides, at home - ——"

She stopped suddenly.It was so dangerous, so dangerous, I almost told about the fact that the family was so poor that it was almost impossible to tell.

Dechang looked over curiously: "Besides what?"

Qi Yin quickly waved his hands: "It's nothing."

"Okay." Dechang withdrew his gaze and teased, "Seeing that you have lost a lot of weight, I thought you were going to say that your family is too poor to eat."

"........."

Does this guy have mind reading skills! !

Prayer is silent.

Zhang Jingsi blinked and laughed out loud, "Ahahaha, did I guess right?"

"........."

Prayer was silent again.

Too bad, I can't help being angry with him again.

She twitched the corner of her mouth, "How is it possible, I'm just trying to lose weight."

But she really hasn't eaten meat for a long time...

She is trying to save as much as possible, and leave the money to the few demon exorcisers who can accept the entrustment at home.

Qi Yin lowered her eyes unconsciously.

Seeing the embarrassment on her face, Zhang Jingsi stopped, "If you are really short of money, I can lend it to you."

Hearing his magnetic voice coming from the top of his head, Qi Yin raised his eyes in surprise, "...huh?"

Dechang said with a smile: "Although my pocket money is not very much, it should be enough for your emergency."

Prayer is speechless.

Even the pocket money was enough for her emergency, what Master Chang said really sounded like an ordinary sarcasm.

Zhang Jingsi didn't seem to notice that her expression was wrong, and continued to ask: "So, do you want to accept my help?"

"........."

Qi Yin lowered her head and clenched her fists.

The air froze for a moment.

A few seconds later, Qi Yin's tense facial expression suddenly relaxed.She covered her belly and laughed happily, "Haha, hahahaha, hahahahaha..."

Qi Yin's stomach ached from laughing.

Under Zhang Jingsi's slightly bewildered gaze, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and explained: "Jingsi...however you speak, you still haven't made any progress at all. If I hadn't known you for so many years, I would have known you for so many years. Get used to it, otherwise I will definitely take it as you are mocking me."

"Really?" Zhang Jingsi obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said just now.

Qi Yin covered her face, "Yes, but it doesn't matter. Thank you for your kindness, but there is no need. There are not many people in the family now. As long as I continue to work hard to make money, I should be able to support myself."

She put down her hand and showed him a sincere smile for the first time, "I blamed you before and got angry with you. I'm sorry, I will try my best to correct it in the future, and I won't wear colored glasses to see you anymore."

"Hey, it turns out that sister Qi Yin has been looking at me with colored glasses." Chang Jingsi raised his eyebrows and shrugged.

"After all, you used to be really annoying most of the time."

"What about now?" Dechang smiled and asked, "Do you hate it now?"

"Now?"

Qi Yin quickly glanced at the setting sun, with a casual smile on his face.

My thoughts began to recall when I met when I was nine years old. The scenes that the two spent together are like a movie, and they are projected in front of my eyes one by one.

But the more he recalled, the more the upward arc on Qi Yin's lips fell.In the end, it turned into a stiff straight line again.

God, God...

Although these days he has changed a bit, and he has always known that he is actually not as bad as his mouth, but when you think about it carefully, there are still many things that this guy did to her that were too much! ! !

It's true that the Zhang family took care of Xishanyuan's family, but it's true that Chang Jingsi once bullied Xishanyuan's prayers!

Qi Yin twitched the corner of her mouth.

After all, there was no way to lie. After hesitating for a moment, she finally expressed the true thoughts in her heart at this moment.

"Now... I still find you very annoying." His face was expressionless.

"Sure enough, hahaha." Zhang Jingsi was not surprised by her answer.

He put his hands in his trouser pockets casually, raised his head and said with a smile, "Well, that's not bad."
