I paid too much for Feiwuluo

British Victorian poet Meredith once said that when a man is over 40, he will marry his own habits.

It is actually very simple to understand Meredith's words.

As long as you can understand that habits are too personal, and running-in is something that must be composed of two or more people to participate, that's enough.

Kusanagi Izumo felt that this made sense.

Although he is only 24 years old this year, and he is more than ten years away from forty, he seems to have reached this state of "marrying his own habits".

What to do every day was listed in his mind the day before.

What he needs to worry about is actually just a few bars and restaurants under his own name, Alice, Barbara, Barbara and Barbara.

But in all fairness, he has too many things to keep busy.So whenever he met a "good-hearted person" who wanted to hold a red line for him at some receptions that he had to attend, he would keep a smile on his face, and then roll his eyes in his heart.

I really want to tell them not to disturb their busy and orderly life.

But for Kusanagi Izumo, it is his responsibility as the second leader of the barking dance to be at odds with his own heart, to greet people with a smile when he doesn't want to smile, and to be in charge of negotiating when he doesn't want to deal with people. In Wuluo, where nine out of ten children are problem children who are prone to passion, there is no one other than Kusanagi Izumo who is capable of such a difficult task.

——Oh, when Fushimi was here before, I could help him share a little bit.Although that kid doesn't like negotiating with people very much, as long as he is willing, he can definitely achieve his goal.

All in all, he is a very reliable boy with great potential.

When he joined Barbara together with Little Bada, Izumo Kusanagi was ecstatic.

But since that kid went to the green group, Izumo Kusanagi's dream of "cultivating the next second-in-command of the Red Clan" has been completely shattered.

So from then on, every time I saw the Blue King who took advantage of the situation and poached Fushimi Saruhiko away, the smile of the second in command of Barbara would look extraordinarily false.

The so-called separation of politics and business.

As a 24-year-old young industrialist who has established several bars and restaurants in Tokyo, where everything is expensive and expensive, Kusanagi Izumo is always able to receive various business cooperation exchanges, parties, and receptions invitation.

Izumo Kusanagi would not let go of this kind of opportunity to broaden the social circle at first, as long as he was invited, he would go, but in the past two years, the activity of Barbara has decreased year by year, and the construction of information networks from various sources After successful and stable operation, Kusanagi Izumo finally has a break, and can start to choose only those places that are large in scale or purely for his own interests.

And more than half of those large-scale exchange meetings and promotion meetings are organized by the government.

It is natural and unavoidable to meet the upright and handsome Green King in this situation, who is guarded by a group of [green clothes] sentries.

——Here we come this time too.

Kusanagi Izumo held his wine glass, and calmly shifted his gaze to the dazzling "royal blue" people that appeared at the entrance of the venue.

Usually in this situation, Kusanagi Izumo and the Blue King Munakata Reji would not face each other directly.

After all, there is a difference in the identities of the two sides—the King of Blue's apparent identity is the leader of an organization that has accepted the government's commission and assumed part of the functions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Kusanagi Izumo is just an outstanding young industrialist.

If the two of them suddenly stood side by side and greeted each other with cups and cups, not to mention how inconsistent the scene was, what was even more terrible was what Kusanagi Izumo would encounter next.

There are many customary rules in the Tokyo business circle, and there are also many hard rules that only people in the industry know.

Among them, the most famous one is "The document examination of the Fourth Branch of the Household Registration Division of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau is notoriously low pass rate".

So if any unlucky guy is known by outsiders to have a good personal relationship with the head of the fourth branch, then congratulations, the flood of people who are about to flock to this unlucky guy will be bombarded indiscriminately by the communication means of major chambers of commerce.

The members of Scepter4 who are responsible for the protection of the Blue King today are still a few old faces seen in every conflict.

Thanks to their ritualistic and shameful "drawing the sword", Izumo Kusanagi can completely call their surnames.

But not all people who can be named are friends.

Kusanagi came out of the clouds and left with the wine glass.Before he could go to the terrace to breathe, he was cut off by an entrepreneur he knew well.

The other party was a gray-haired old man who had a little kindness for Kusanagi Izumo, and the purpose of his visit this time was neither communication nor exchange nor cooperation.

"Excuse me, did you just say that you want me to have a blind date with Ling Qianjin?"

"No, I just hope that you can meet with my little girl to enhance communication."

What communication must meet alone with your daughter? ? ?

Isn't this just another way of saying blind date? ? ?

Kusanagi Izumo: "..."

As the other party talked more and more, he gradually understood everything.

To put it bluntly, the old man and old father in front of him decided to find a man who was capable but not so strong because he was reluctant to part with his daughter. He was going to let the man marry into the house after the two sides saw each other well.

In this way, she can keep her daughter by her side to take care of her, without worrying about any uncontrollable losses this marriage will bring her. She can even use the ability of the married husband to manage the affairs of the family business.

It can be said to be three birds with one stone.

But it is a pity that the old man found the wrong person.

A large part of the reason why Kusanagi Izumo became a young industrialist was just because raising Barbara needed money, and raising Alice was expensive, not because he wanted to make money too much.

The smile on Kusanagi Izumo's face could hardly hold back, but fortunately, the other party was also a person who wanted to save face.

After Kusanagi's refusal several times, he quickly walked away in displeasure, and even said harsh words before leaving, saying that he only considered giving him this opportunity because he thought highly of him.

Kusanagi Izumo just took a deep breath and didn't keep this matter in mind after that.

However, what he didn't know was that in such a crowded place, there would always be a few witnesses who accidentally saw it.

"Dao Ming Si, the head of the room asked you to come—"

"Wow!!!" The young man whose name was called from behind turned his head in shock, and patted himself on the heart when he saw the familiar face in front of him, "Please don't be so scary next time. Mr. Fushimi."

Fushimi Saru than ancient: "..."

"So what are you doing here?" He frowned in disgust.

"Listen to the gossip! It's related to the second in command of Barbara!" Daoming Temple didn't care much about his eyes that seemed to be looking at a fool. Instead, he lowered his voice eagerly and approached, "Mr. Fushimi, do you want to listen?"

"Hey, you guys seem to be discussing something interesting." A deep and elegant male voice squeezed into their conversation at an untimely moment, with no expression on his face but it was not hard to see that he was very interested in the fourth king. Standing behind them, pushed his glasses.

"This reception is really boring. Can I join?"

Daoming Si nodded vigorously without any grudges: "Good chief! No problem chief!"

Fushimi Saru than ancient: "..."

Forget it, don't look at these idiots.

After joining Scepter4 these years, he is too lazy to complain about his boss and colleagues.

Alice's recent movie viewing list has changed from special effects to Disney animation movies.

As we all know, this well-known entertainment company with countless animation IPs is rich in two things:

[-]. A kind and beautiful princess who can talk to various small animals.

[-]. The stepmother who is cruel and vicious until she dies.

However, there is no detailed explanation and explanation of the word "stepmother" in the cartoon.

So the curious child had no choice but to grab the person closest to him and ask, "Tatara, what is a stepmother?"

"What, what?" Ten Beam was a little dazed by her sudden question, but when he saw Snow White playing on TV, he quickly came to his senses.

"The stepmother is the stepmother." He said nonsense, and then added, "The stepmother is, after the original mother was gone, Dad found a new girlfriend, and then the two of them got married, and the girlfriend was becomes your new mother—and the new mother is the stepmother."

Alice gave a half-comprehensive "huh", and then glanced at the queen who was holding a red poisonous apple and smirking after turning herself into an old witch on TV.

"Stepmother...is it scary?"

"This is going to be divided."

While talking, Toku picked up the still full water glass on the tea table—it was difficult to get Alice to drink water, Kusanagi Izumo had told the barbarians to urge her to drink more water—and stuck the glass wall to the Alice stared at her mouth, gulped and drank a few sips before continuing.

"I can't say that all stepmothers are bad, but I can't say that all stepmothers are good either—drink a little more, you didn't drink much water for two hours today."

Alice gave a small "oh" and was forced to take the glass.

She looked at the water and didn't really want to drink it, so she put the water glass next to her mouth and blew bubbles in it: "Pululululu..."

Ten beams tapped her on the head, and she took two sips meaningfully.

"How much."

"what's wrong?"

"Will I have a 'stepmother'?"

For a moment, the entire Barbara fell into a strange silence.

And until the end, the curious child didn't get the answer she wanted.

Without an answer, Alice is of course uncomfortable.

But she didn't want to ask Zhou Fangzun directly.Because she thought of the stepmother in the cartoon, she was a little afraid of getting that answer.

With such a melancholy that didn't match her age, Alice went out and started walking by herself again.

The weather has become cooler recently, and Alice was grabbed by Hiroshi Chitose and wrapped a scarf before going out.However, the woolen scarf was as annoying as the turtleneck sweater, so Alice took the scarf off before walking far away.

But she had short hands and legs, and she grabbed the scarf in her hand, and it fell to the ground after a while.Trailing behind, like a puppy's tail.

After walking for a while, Alice came to the side of the small park.

Since she had a fight with others, she hadn't been to the small park for a while, and she hadn't been here much before the fight. Alice's impression of this place is not to say that she has no idea at all, or it can be said to be very thin.

But what made her feel a little bit wrong was that for some reason, there were many adults gathered in the small park, but there were no children.

Don't the kids come out to play?

Alice stood at the gate of the small park and looked around curiously for a while, but didn't see anything, then lowered her head and picked up a leaflet from the ground.

In the words of professionals, this flyer is comparable to a small psoriasis advertisement posted on a telephone pole, and the color scheme is so dark that it makes people feel that it is not a good thing at first glance.

"Let you...get...happiness..."

"Believe...Tianyuan...God..."

"……star……"

Alice skipped the unfamiliar words and read slowly, but after reading for a long time, she couldn't read a fluent sentence.

She was concentrating on the flyer, so naturally she didn't look at the road.

Until a hand that suddenly appeared took the flyer away from her hand, she suddenly raised her head.

The flyer blocked the face of the person in front of him, but not his clothes.

The blue western-style military uniform is not very straight, but it is still neat, and the exposed skin is not so much white as it is pale that rarely sees sunlight.

"Where did you get this thing?"

After reading the leaflet, the man crumpled it into a ball, and suddenly a red flame ignited in his hand, which was completely opposite to the blue on his body, burning the fragile paper into pieces of black ash.

The clear and juan facial features seemed to be peeled from the ashes, which made Alice a little stunned.

Recalling the day at Scepter4, she seemed to have never seen Fushimi Saru Hiko who didn't frown.

So much so that now I see someone with a face that doesn't smell bad, but I still don't recognize it.

"Fushi?"

Before Fushimi, she was not allowed to call her brother.

The little girl always likes to prolong her voice when calling people, it's so sweet and annoying to hear.

"En." Fushimi Saruhiko replied in a low voice.

"Wow! It's really Fushimi!" Youchai, who answered the wrong question, rushed over and rubbed the boy happily, "Why are you here!"

Fushimi Saruhiko wanted to push her away, but she would stick back if the movement was light, and it would easily hurt her if the movement was heavy, so he could only stand there in a daze, letting the little guy hug his leg, and then asked again Again: "Where did that thing you just saw come from?"

"I picked it up on the ground!" Alice responded crisply.

Fushimi Saru than ancient: "..."

"Forget it, I'll take you back first."

He picked up Alice by the back collar, separated her from his legs, and then slid her to his side, not intending to hold hands with her, because even if he didn't do that, the clingy little brownie would have grabbed her by himself the corner of his clothes.

"Fushimi..." But before grabbing his hem, Alice called out again.

"……what."

"The scarf...is dirty..." Alice flinched and picked up the dirty part of the scarf to show him, "Chitose gave it to me..."

Fushimi Saru than ancient: "..."

"Here." He reached out to take the scarf from Alice, and folded two stacks casually.

"Can Fushimi clean the scarf?" Alice asked, grabbing the hem of his clothes.

"Can't—tsk, are you an idiot?"

"Then why do you want me to give you the scarf?"

"Because there is a laundromat nearby, just wash and dry it before you take it back."

"Then why is Fushimi here?"

"……work."

"What are you doing?"

"No comment."

"What is no comment?"

"..."

Fushimi Saru Hiko decided to shut up.Children are creatures that get more excited the more they talk to each other.

But he never thought that children are also creatures that don't know how to wink.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't talk, Alice can beep for a long time by herself.

"Fushimi Fushimi, do you know what a 'stepmother' is?"

"..."

"Hey, you don't know. It's okay, I know! Let me tell you! Dodora said that the 'stepmother' is the new mother brought back by my father." Alice shared it very generously, or it was a show off. That learned knowledge.

"..." Fushimi Saru Hiko still didn't want to speak.

"But I asked Tadara if I would have a 'stepmother', and he didn't tell me." Alice sighed like a little adult, "Do you think I will have a stepmother? Fushimi."

--how could I know.

Fushimi Saru Hiko just wanted to answer this way, but then he remembered the gossip he heard at the reception two days ago.

So he laughed: "Maybe there will be soon."

Alice: "?"

"Really! So Zun has a girlfriend who can get married!"

She thought Zun would find a girlfriend if he looked so old!It turned out that I was worried for nothing.

"No, not Mr. Zun's girlfriend. It's Mr. Kusanagi's girlfriend."

Alice: "...?"

She raised her head, staring at Fushimi Saruhiko with blue eyes, and from a certain point, she lost focus a little bit, and became a little hollow.

Fushimi Sarubiko: "...?"

What does it mean?

shocked?

What is the composition of the Barbara now?Wasn't Mr. Zun's name registered in the adoptive father column?

He stared at Alice with blank eyes in silence.

Then in the next second, the little girl in front of her suddenly burst into tears.

While crying, she shouted to go home and to go out of the cloud.

Fushimi Saru than ancient: "..."

It's over.
