Side of the Jade Throne

Ever since he somehow got to know Ru Asakami, Gao Likao seemed to go home with her every day.

From the feeling of being flattered and strange at the beginning, to getting used to Qianshangliu is actually his neighbor, it didn't take too much time in high school.

Although the two rarely met at school, they were always noticeable when they went home together every day for a long time.

Given that both of them are influential figures, whether it is the girl who is jealous of Asakami, or the boy and girl who has a strange attitude towards Gao Li, they all start to use this as a talking point, sneering unceremoniously.

Gao Li had already gotten used to such cold reception, and didn't feel very uncomfortable, but he was still not at ease when he thought about Liu Qiangami, and went downstairs to the group.

However, he had just reached the stairs when he heard a female voice from the stairwell: "Liu Qiangami, you deserve to be friends with monsters like Gao Li!"

Kaori curled up his fingers slightly, not knowing how Ryu Asakami would answer.

He is used to being treated as a monster, but Qianshang must have grown up pampered by others, right?

Can she accept it?

After the unbearable silence, Asakami's familiar sweet voice sounded inside: "Student Edogawa, are you free?"

"What did you say?"

"Otherwise, what does my criteria for choosing friends have to do with you?" Asakami said in a flat tone with a trace of disdain, "Although I don't know if Edogawa-san chooses friends by ear, at least, what I accept My upbringing does not allow me to be such a superficial person, so although I am very grateful to Edogawa for her kind reminder, I am sorry, I am the kind of stubborn person in the legend, so please don't meddle in my affairs in the future, otherwise , I will be angry too." After finishing speaking, Qian Shangliu smiled slightly, seemingly elegant and gentle, but contained a deep arrogance and disdain.

She brushed past Edogawa, opened the door and walked out of the stairwell, and saw Kaori Takashi standing there.

She raised a warm and sweet smile, as if the indifference she had just created did not exist: "Mr. Gao Li, what a coincidence."

Gao Liyao's thoughts were still stuck in Qianshangliu's threatening words, and he subconsciously replied, "Unfortunately, I'm waiting for you."

Asakami laughed out loud, with a slightly lingering tone: "Wait for me~ Are you looking for me to eat with you? Wait a minute, I'll go back to the classroom to get a lunch box."

Qiangamiliu didn't give Gao Li a chance to refuse, so he briskly turned around and went back to the group.

Soon, Asakami came out with a bento.She took a look at Gao Li and said, "Mr. Gao Li, where is your bento?"

Gao Li said, "I'll just eat the food from the cafeteria." His younger brother Zhuo was just at the age of eating meat, so it was too troublesome for his mother to make two kinds of bento.

Asakami was obviously very dissatisfied with Gao Li's lack of quality life concept: "Mr. Gao Li is used to the food in the cafeteria?"

Gao Li wants to be very helpless with such a straightforward question.

Shaking his head, he is indeed not used to it, but he can't stop eating because he is not used to it, right?

Qian Shangliu chuckled, and said: "Anyway, I have a lot of bento, so you are lucky today!" After speaking, he dragged Gao Li to find a quiet flower corridor by the lake.

This corridor is very old, and mottled marks can be seen everywhere. Wisteria flowers are blooming on the twisted and twisted branches, and late cherry blossoms are blooming on one side of the corridor, and the purple and pink petals are spread out softly and gorgeously.At the end of the corridor, there is a green mountain and green lake with the same color of sky and water. The lake is as clear as jade.

Gao Li wants to look at this unreal scene gently, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

The pleasant voice carried a sincere smile: "Mr. Gao Li also thinks it is beautiful?"

"Ah, yes." Gao Li answered happily, a little intoxicated.

"It's very hidden here. Before today, only I knew about it." She was still smiling, with a sly smile in her bright eyes.

As soon as Gao Li raised his head, he met those bright eyes, and some distant memories slowly gathered together.

……

One spring day when he was nine years old, Kaori, who was visiting the shrine with his grandmother, was scolded by his grandmother again because he refused to eat the barbecue that his younger brother asked him to buy.He was walking sadly around the shrine when he overheard a conversation.

"Liu Ji, as the eldest lady of the family, you can't always be so picky!"

The beautiful young woman spoke sternly, while the little girl in a lavender complicated kimono said in a pitiful and soft voice: "Mother, I know, I will grow up healthily, and I won't worry you. Go back to grandma, Liu Ji will be obedient."

Only then did the woman's expression soften, and she said, "Liu Ji has always been a good child, so she can't be picky about food, you know?"

Ruki smiled obediently and nodded.

After the woman left, Liu Ji looked in Gao Li's direction: "Who is there over there, really won't come out?"

Gao Li was a little embarrassed to be caught eavesdropping. He blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose."

However, Liu Ji looked excited: "Do you want to have dinner together?"

"Huh?" Because the other party was too enthusiastic, Gao Li was a little at a loss.

Liu Ji smiled and said, "It's so boring for me to eat alone, if you eat with me, I will forgive you."

It was only then that Gao Li walked forward slowly, looking at the exquisite dishes on the small table with difficulty.

"That I don't eat meat."

Gao Liyao was waiting for the other party to show a "you are strange" expression, but Liu Ji's eyes showed a look of joy.

"really?"

"what?"

"Actually, I don't like meat either, so I was scolded by my mother just now."

Hearing what Ruuhime said, Kaori also developed a sense of belonging called the same kind.

Liu Ji took out a food box from the cabinet next to it: "In this case, let's eat bento together!"

"Didn't you tell your mother"

"Really, don't be so serious. I just said that to make my mother happy."

"but--"

"This is the way I came up with so hard to make myself and my mother happy. Can you eat with me quietly?"

"it is good……"

……

The exquisite vegetarian food in his mind overlapped with the bento in front of him, and Gao Li looked at the girl in front of him in a daze.

"Liu Ji?"

Hearing this title, Qian Shangliu bent his eyes, and said in relief: "It's really not easy, so you can remember me. You, sir, is the sense of taste more sensitive than sight?"

Gao Li was a little embarrassed to be told that by the other party. It is true that this incident has only been in the past for a few years, and Qiangami's appearance also has a shadow of the past, but he only had a sense of familiarity for a moment, and he did not treat that cunning girl who was obsequious and obedient at all. Connect with Asakami in front of you.

"Liu Ji?"

"what?"

"Why did you change your name?"

"This is a slightly troublesome story." Asakami's sweet smile faded a little.

The author has something to say: By the way, I don’t know why there was no option to “publish directly” in the backstage last week, so I will publish two chapters at a time this week~
