[Comprehensive] different hearts

Rina realized belatedly that every time she met Akashi, her head tended to become dull.

For example, on this trip, she also slowly realized after choosing a birthday gift for Ha Shan-senpai——

Could this be a date...?

Rina once said that he wanted to get to know Akashi-kun again.This is not a lie, although there is still some entanglement and hesitation, she really wants to take a step forward.

Therefore, when Akashi asked her if there was any place she wanted to go, Rina thought for a while and gave a response.

During the time she came back to Kanagawa, she hardly took a good look around. The last time she was with Honma-kun, she just walked around the neighborhood. This time, she wanted to go to a more worthwhile place to visit.

More importantly, the person next to him is Akashi-kun.

……

He accompanied her to all the places she wanted to go, and after the date, Akashi sent her back to Yongshan's house in a gentlemanly manner.When returning to the ancestral house, Li Ming found a new black luxury car parked outside the door.

"That's..." Rina, who had a vague impression of the license plate number, murmured uncertainly.

At this moment, with a "squeak", Aunt Sen, the steward who came after hearing the doorbell, opened the door.Li Ming tilted his head to look, and asked casually: "Brother Youzhen is back?"

"Yes, Master Yuzhen has just arrived." Aunt Sen paused for a moment before adding, "The young master of the Honma family is also here."

Rina pursed her lips in annoyance.

"Master Akashi, the old man ordered that when Master Akashi sends Miss Riming back, he must keep you for dinner. Is it convenient for you?" Aunt Mori asked Akashi tactfully.

Akashi originally planned to leave after delivering Rina, but just now, he changed his mind.He was curious about the attitude of the Yongshan family who knew themselves and the enemy, and won a hundred battles.

"Thanks to the invitation, I'm not in a hurry to return." Thinking of this, Akashi narrowed his eyes slightly and responded politely.

·

Cousin Yongshan Yuzhen has always been in poor health and rarely travels far away. This time, his grandfather was seriously ill. It happened that he was in better spirits today, so he came to visit late.

The Akashi family and the Yongshan family don't have many personal relationships, but the few people present are all children of big families, and the etiquette on the surface is passable.Even Li Ming, who felt embarrassed, had to put on a show, although she wanted her cousin to drag her to the study to question her.

Like Atobe Keigo, Nagayama Yuma is also a member who knows the nature of Rina. Rather, he, like her, is a person with a different appearance.Yongshan Yuzhen, who looks weak and gentle, is actually a soft-spoken guy, but he seldom gets along with outsiders, and there are not many people who can touch his bottom line, so he is also willing to use fake face others.

For example now.

Fortunately, it was almost time for dinner, and the silence after the simple scene did not last long. Aunt Sen had already prepared a table of dishes.

There is a special chef in charge of cooking in Limingjia, but in the ancestral house, she used to cook when grandma was there. After grandma passed away, it was Aunt Mori who took care of grandpa.

The same goes for the dishes on the table, all of which are relatively home-cooked dishes.Aunt Sen is not a hotel chef herself, but her cooking skills are not bad. Although every dish on the table is common, it is not lacking in exquisiteness.

When she was seated, Kazuki Honma sat opposite her.Grandpa Nagayama Shuichi simply asked Youzhen a few words and then stopped talking, because when we were in the main hall, several people got to know each other roughly, and the conversation at the dinner table was not too personal, and the atmosphere was not as expected. Awkward.

...as it should have been.

When Li Ming eats, she hardly picks up dishes that are too far away, but the closest dish to her is a plate of light and tender fried shrimp.

"Yongshan-san, aren't you allergic to shrimp?" She had just picked up the shrimp and before she put it in her mouth, the boy on the opposite side frowned slightly and spoke abruptly, with a slightly worried and puzzled look on her face.

As soon as the words fell, not only Li Ming, but also other people present were slightly stunned.

"It all happened when I was a child." Cousin Yongshan Yuzhen took a look at Li Ming who was a little dazed, and smiled and said appropriately, "Speaking of which, Li Ming was not in good health when he was young, and he often fell ill. Not anymore?"

"That happened when I was a child..." Li Ming couldn't help being a little shy when Yongshan Youzhen suddenly mentioned her childhood. Although this is not something to be ashamed of, but the emotional reaction is not controlled by reason, she bit Biting his lip, he said vaguely.

With Youzhen's help, this incident was like a pebble falling into the lake, and it was easily carried over in an instant with calm waters.

However, seeing the insignificant knowledge, Akashi glanced at the gentle black-haired boy diagonally opposite, without saying a word.

——I see, that’s what happened...

·

After dinner, Akashi-kun and Kazuki Honma left one after another, and his cousin Yuma Nagayama would not return to Kyoto until the next afternoon.

After Rina took a bath and changed into pajamas, she found her cousin Nagayama Yuma on the porch leading to the backyard.

He was wearing a blue thin bathrobe, and his hair had not been completely dried after washing. He was sitting on the wooden corridor, looking at the shadowy courtyard, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hearing movement behind him, he tilted his head slightly, and his clear and handsome profile was covered with a layer of gentle moonlight.

"ah."

Smiling with curved eyes, he greeted with a clear voice.

"Yeah what!" Li Ming threw the haori in her hand and smashed it on the young man. She stepped forward and said in a dissatisfied tone, "You are not afraid of catching a cold anymore."

"It's been much better recently." Yongshan Yuzhen took the haori and put it on the outside of the yukata. He said with a smile, "If Rina cares about me, I hope you can be more frank and honestly say, 'Brother, please pay attention to your body. , Don’t catch a cold, isn’t it all right?”

"Yes, brother, please take care of your body. Don't catch a cold and have a fever and enter the intensive care unit." Li Ming followed his words perfunctorily. She sat down next to Yongshan Yuzhen, looking at the gentle moonlight in the yard, and went straight to the ground. Ask, "When did you meet Honma-kun?"

"We've known each other before." Yongshan Youzhen didn't hide anything, he turned his head to look at Li Mingruyu's side face, paused, then retracted his gaze and said, "It's better to wait for him to tell you directly, or when you think about it Besides, telling you now will only increase your troubles, it's meaningless."

"What do you think of the Akashi family?" Without waiting for Rina to ask clearly, Yongshan Yuzhen immediately changed the subject. This question was asked suddenly, and Rina was slightly taken aback. Before he could figure out how to answer, Yongshan Yuzhen Zhen further added, "You like him?"

"...Yeah." Li Ming was silent for a while, then nodded.

"Then...the matter in Honma troubles you a bit. Well, although this is not something I should interfere with, let me ask you a question—" Yongshan Yuzhen looked at her sideways, calm as water He asked eagerly, "Have you faced him with your truest side?"

Li Ming could not answer.

"Oh, don't put on such an expression. No matter what decision you make, I will support you. After all, I am your brother. I don't know what my grandfather thinks, but since It's the young master of the Akashi family... Grandfather probably won't have too much of an opinion..." But soon, Yongshan Yuma restrained the serious expression just now, and changed back to the not-so-sounding cousin she knew well , the voice of his muttering to himself became smaller and smaller, then he raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head, stood up, and said in a brisk tone, "Go back to your room, Li Ming, it's already late."

"...Did I know him?" Li Ming didn't intend to ask at first, she avoided it habitually, but Yong Shanyou really reminded her - she had avoided enough things, at least, in this case As a matter of fact, Akashi-kun could no longer cause trouble, so she asked, and when Yongshan Yuzhen looked at her, she repeated, "I used to...did I know Kazuki Honma?"

in childhood.

The author has something to say: Akashi guessed that Honma-kun and Rina are old acquaintances.

Li Ming also almost remembered...

But it's no use (Hey)
