I won't tell the field I like him

The last time I looked at those long and narrow red phoenix eyes was at the seaside three years ago.

After three years, Qi Yin thought that after such a long time, she could face him calmly, but when she met his eyes across the crowd and read his lips, her heart still felt uneasy. Beat violently in a controlled manner.

Fortunately, she is no longer the little girl who was ignorant and unable to control her emotions.

Xishanyuan Qiyin did not show any helplessness or panic.She nodded politely to Chang Jingsi in the distance, smiled and looked away.

Then, with a dignified and reserved smile on his face, he actually complained wildly in his heart.

I haven't seen her for three years, why does he still call her [Sister Qi Yin]?

How old are you... If he really called out that childish four-letter name just now, she would be too embarrassed to agree.

Moreover, is this considered to have greeted him?

Then later on, wouldn't it be necessary to congratulate him face-to-face to inherit the position of Patriarch?

Qi Yin seriously thought about this possibility, and took an irritable breath.

So annoying, really annoying.Although she came here bravely, she really didn't expect how to face him!

Why did he suddenly change so much?Not only does the appearance become unfamiliar, but it is also full of aura, which looks particularly oppressive...

Qi Yin sighed silently in her heart, on the day they met for the last time three years ago, the relationship between her and him was completely torn apart.

At this moment, I really don't know how to go forward and say that congratulations to him.

After all, she has not left the Chang family. As the head of the Xishanyuan family, she can't justify not formally saying hello to the head of the Chang family.

Just as Qi Yin was thinking wildly, many people from the demon-killing family came forward in the center of the venue, and they all surrounded the venue with flattering smiles.

Xishanyuan Qiyin heard the movement, couldn't hold back her curiosity, and cast her gaze again in the way of Chang Jingsi.

She saw him negotiating with everyone in a gentle and polite manner, with an elegant manner, and patiently and calmly answered the questions that the alliance exorcists cared about.

…………

Looking at it, Qi Yin's mood became complicated again.

She originally wanted to see how the patriarchs of other families got along with Zhang Jingsi, and she wanted to learn something so that she could deal with it later.

But she and Zhang Jingsi grew up together and know him very well.

After witnessing him who was reckless when he was young, now he can talk with people calmly and calmly, it is inevitable that there will be an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

It seems a little relieved, but mixed with a little regret.

…………but.

He has changed, what does it have to do with her? !

Qiyin laughed at herself, looked up at Natori Monday who was also not moving, trying to divert her attention, and asked, "Mr. Natori, won't you congratulate Patriarch Patriarch?"

"Me?" Natori Yiyi pursed his lips and glanced at the center of the venue, then shook his head, "Forget it, I just received an invitation letter, come and take a look."

He asked thoughtfully, "What about you, don't you plan to go there?"

He always thought that Xishanyuan had a good relationship with Zhang Jingsi - otherwise, a few years ago, she would not have come to his house on purpose to forcefully give him a loquat cake.

However, judging from her expression just now, it seems that this is not the case.

"You...argued?" Natori guessed on Monday.

Xishanin Qiyin didn't expect Natori Yiyi to be so sharp, and subconsciously didn't want to admit it.

But thinking about it, Natori Monday was so honest with himself just now, and he felt that he should be the same.

So obviously he shouldn't admit it, but he admitted it in front of him.

"Well, be it." Xishanyuan Qiyin sighed slightly, and raised an unnatural smile, "Didn't you just say that you can't get along with him? It doesn't matter much."

Qi Yin succinctly stated a secret that was hardly a secret: "I want to leave the Chang family."

"That's it..." Natori Zhou Zhou seemed to understand, "If it's not that the concept of eliminating demons does not agree, then is there any specific reason?"

The reputation of the Chang family is not good, but it is undeniable that they are very strong, and they are definitely at the top of the demon eradication world.

Although they are merciless in the face of hostility, the Dechang clan has always done a very good job in dealing with the alliance.

How many of those monster exorcists who ridicule the Zhang family style openly and secretly have not been protected by the Chang family, and they can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour?

Natori felt a little strange at the words of Xishanin Qiyin, and he subconsciously asked his doubts.

After seeing her pursing her lips tightly, as if she didn't want to answer, she realized that her question was overstepped, and she quickly apologized with an embarrassed smile, "It's okay if you don't want to say it, I didn't mean to force you to tell me..."

"...It's okay, I'm just trying to explain it."

Qi Yin felt that some people might be born with magical powers.

She is obviously not familiar with Natori Monday, but for some reason she is willing to confide to him the things that have been troubling her heart.

Perhaps it was because, like her, he was a rare person who had a better relationship with Chang Jingsi.

"The Chang family has treated me well over the years. The main reason why I want to leave it is because of obsession."

Qi Yin simply told the story of how when she was a child, she thought that the Xishanyuan family was unmatched, but she was severely beaten in the face by the Chang family.

"Since then, I have made up my mind that I will lead the family to leave the Changyimen. If they can do it, so can I. I want the Xishanyuan family to regain their former glory without relying on anyone's support in the future. .”

Back then, in order to keep the family from being swallowed up, his father endured humiliation and abandoned his self-esteem to the family he belonged to.

Although the main purpose of the Chang family is to obtain benefits, it does extend the lifespan of the Xishanyuan family. Otherwise, without protection and support, Qi Yin alone would not be able to support the family to survive to this day.

But she wants more.

She doesn't want to be subordinate to his family, she wants to surpass him, or at least be equal.

"I need to become stronger, and let the stronger self no longer belong to the Chang family, and truly be used by the Xishanyuan family."

"...Well, it's not easy for you." After listening to Qi Yin's words, Natori Zhou Yi didn't know what to think of, and sighed softly, "There are a lot of things on my shoulders."

Qi Yin smiled and joked: "That's why I can't understand a gentle person like you."

Natori was taken aback, "Huh?"

"Gentleness is reserved for those who don't need to bear the responsibility. Mr. Natori's family has long since stopped exorcising demons, so I can't understand it."

Qi Yin said, lazily leaning his back against the wall.

She looked up at the majestic and precious Japanese-style chandelier in the reception hall, and said with a smile: "If you are indecisive every time you exorcise a monster, and think twice about whether it should be expelled, that is a joke in the demon world. The reason why the Chang Yi Sect has a high position and weight is because they pursue efficiency and do whatever they can to achieve their goals."

"Mr. Natori, as I said just now, I envy you for being gentle, right?" Qi Yin turned her head to the side and asked.

"That's right..." Natori replied on Monday, "You haven't told me why yet."

"Because when I was a child, I also wanted to be gentle."

Qiyin explained with a smile, "Mr. Natori, what you did was definitely not wrong. It's just that our family of exterminating demons also has what we firmly believe [is correct]. To be honest, I hate the feeling of killing monsters. Whenever a dagger When I pierce the flesh of a monster, the disgusting touch will make my stomach sick. But it doesn't matter, whether it is honor or guilt, I will bear it. This is the path I chose from birth."

"...Really." Natori Monday took a while to digest the words, and said softly: "...It's really complicated."

He looked a little sad.

I don't know whether he is mourning for Qi Yinhe's heavy burden on them, or whether he is destined to be unable to empathize with them although he can understand everything.

The positions are different, and the paths chosen are also different.

"May you get what you want as soon as possible." Natori still had something to do on Monday, so he left these words to Qi Yin, put on his hat and left.

Not long after Natori left, Ayaka finally came back, and she said apologetically to Qi Yin: "My lord, I'm really sorry, I happened to meet Ms. Nanase when I went to get juice just now, and she talked to me a lot... "

Qiyin took the juice from Ayaka and said indifferently, "It's okay, everything is fine here."

"That's good." Ayaka nodded, and asked tentatively, "Have you met Patriarch Chang?"

"...Not yet." Qi Yin replied.

That glance just now doesn't count.

She still needs to go to him in person, after all, she still has something to talk to him alone.

He said before that before he inherits the position of Patriarch, he should not leave the Chang family.

Now that he has inherited the position of Patriarch, does this mean... this matter can be put on the agenda?

No matter how reluctant to face him, but it has come, and we don't know when we will meet next time. After talking with Natori, Qiyin made up his mind.

There was no need to procrastinate, anyway, he already knew that she would make such a request, and maybe he was waiting for her to speak.

Regardless of whether he changed his mind or changed his mind temporarily, he still had to try it first.

Qi Yin was about to set off to find Zhang Jingsi, but he was too busy, always surrounded by monster exterminations she knew or didn't know, and couldn't find time to spend alone.

Seeing that the meeting was almost over, Qi Yin refused to give up, and said to Ayaka: "There are still things to deal with at home, you should go home first, I will be back later."

"But——" Ayaka hesitated.

Qi Yin suddenly felt a little funny, "What are you afraid of? Isn't the Chang's house where I stay a regular thing? They won't eat me."

That being said...

Ayaka was still a little worried, but she still decided to follow the Patriarch's wishes.

"After I go back, I will ask the driver to pick you up again."

"understood."

Qi Yin waved her hand, and after seeing off Ayaka, she left the reception hall and came to Chang's backyard.

Usually no guests would enter here without permission, but she was used to it, so she didn't have too many worries.

Anyway, the servants guarding the backyard knew her, and they didn't seem to want to stop her at all.

Qi Yin was walking in the magnificent backyard of Changjia. Although she hadn't been here for three years and the scenery here hadn't changed much, she still felt quite fresh.

Tired from walking, she rested in a small pavilion by the pond and sat and enjoyed the view of the pond.

About half an hour later, it was almost dark.

Qi Yin thinks about it, it's almost time to come.

Sure enough, she soon heard a very light, but also very steady footsteps.

She turned her head and bumped into the crimson pupils of the person without any surprise.

"Mr. Chang, long time no see."

I have made many mental preparations and practiced silently many times.

Qi Yin raised a just right smile, stood up politely, and greeted Chang Jingsi as the owner of Xishanyuan, "I don't know how late you are, are you okay?"
