[Comprehensive] different hearts

"Sister Liming, you revealed my whereabouts to my brother, and I was arrested by my family and put under house arrest for several days. This is what people do!"

In the side hall of the ancestral house, Yongshan Lixu stared at Liming angrily with puffed cheeks, and criticized righteously.

What responded to her was the clear and crisp sound of tea being poured into the cup. Rina rolled up the cuffs of her kimono, making the tea like flowing water. After she put the teapot back into the tea stove, she replied slowly, "Of course."

"You!" Li Xu was about to burst into flames angrily.

Li Ming added unhurriedly: "I haven't told Brother Yongzhen that you went to have a friendship. If I remember correctly, you have a marriage contract with the young master of Sugimoto's family, right?"

Yongshan Lixu was immediately discouraged, sat back to her original seat, and muttered in a low voice: "It was arranged by the family, and there was no formal engagement, so it doesn't count... Sister Liming, you are also...! Grandpa asked you to marry Ben Do you mean marriage between families?"

She seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly argued.

Li Ming, who picked up the teacup, paused, the tea swayed and splashed a few drops.

At this time, there was a light knock on the door, and Li Ming and Li Xu looked at the paper door at the same time. A slender young man in a dark gray wave-patterned kimono stood at the door and said with a smile: "Just listen to it from afar." It’s my name, what are you talking about? It won’t be my bad words, right?”

"Brother!" Li Xu was startled, she glanced at Li Ming with some guilt, and asked preemptively, "You, why are you here?"

"Mother asked me to call you over." Yong Shan Yuzhen didn't worry about what they talked about earlier, and answered along Li Xu's topic.

"Yes!" Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief and ran out in a panic.

When Yongshan Yuzhen was about to leave, Li Ming took a new teacup to make tea, tilted his head, and invited: "Brother Yuzhen, do you want some tea?"

"...Okay." Yongshan Yuzhen, who was leaning on the door frame, looked at her silently for a while, and then agreed with a smile, "It's been a long time since I had the tea made by Li Ming. How's it going?"

The bamboo in the yard was filled with water and poured on the stones, making a pleasant and ethereal sound.

Today is a customary family gathering. People from the main family and the branch family will gather in the ancestral house, not only to discuss some metaphysical blueprints, but also to stabilize the connection between the main family and the branch family.

Family gatherings are very important for both the main family and the separated family members. Therefore, Yongshan Yuzhen, who is weak and sick and rarely goes out, also attended on time.

Having said that, Li Ming and the younger generation don't have much to do.For example, in Liming's eyes, this kind of gathering is the same as the speech given by the school leader at the opening ceremony every semester. It is dispensable, but he has to attend and listen to the lecture.

The official gathering will start in a while, and there is no rush in terms of time.

Yongshan Yuzhen took the tea handed out by his name and pretended to taste it for a while, then said: "It's not good to drink, the tea has been boiled for too long, you'd better not make a fool of yourself in front of your grandfather."

"...You cook it yourself." Rina put the teapot on the table with a bang.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the tea is all right." After Yongshan Yuzhen apologized sincerely, he slightly dragged his cheeks, his dark green eyes were smiling, and suddenly said, "Then, If you have anything you want to ask me, just tell me, there is no need to beat around the bush between brothers and sisters, and you are not that kind of character."

"Xiaoyi... I mean Honma-kun, what's wrong with him?" Li Ming also didn't mean to ask in a roundabout way. She knew exactly how powerful her cousin Yong Shanyu was--almost nothing could be hidden from him. Eye.

The same thing happened to Li Xu, although Yongshan Yuzhen didn't say anything, and Li Ming didn't complain to him, but it didn't mean he didn't know what Li Xu went to do a few days ago.

"Yi... Why did Rina suddenly ask me about this? Did he change his mind?" Yongshan Yuzhen blinked curiously, Rina looked at him unchanged, the boy curled his lips, and then said, "Think It’s not possible, after all, you have a rare passion for the Akashi family—”

Seeing that Rina picked up the teacup and made a tendency to splash it on his face, Yuma Yongshan stopped teasing wisely, and immediately said: "Okay, okay, I understand. Tsukasa is back to the United States."

"..." Rina put down the teacup.

"You don't have to think too much. He must have been prepared for this outcome. After all, you haven't seen each other for so many years. Your childhood relationship will change when you grow up. It may be because you haven't seen each other for a long time. He just beautified you in his memory." Yongshan Yuzhen mentioned his broken-hearted friend in a free and easy tone, and asked instead, "Compared to this, have you communicated with your grandfather? Yongshan's family and Honma Family is a family friend, what do you think, it is better to tell grandfather. However, grandfather has always loved you, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

After saying this, Yongshan Yuzhen got up from his seat, as if he was going to leave.

Rina nodded, and continued: "The last question, half a month ago, when you were at the hotel in Hakone, did Honma-kun call you...?"

"Half a month ago..." Yongshan Yuzhen thought about it for a while, and asked clearly, "Does it have something to do with Akashi?"

Seeing the girl's acquiescence, Yuzhen looked at the girl's clear blue eyes, paused indiscernibly, and then said lightly: "So, half a month ago, Tsubasa did call me a strange phone call, the content was about Yes—if Rina asked me if Honma Tsubasa called me, I would say yes."

"However, whether it is yes or no, is this answer important to you?" Yong Shan Yuzhen smiled and said casually, "You have already made a decision, Li Ming."

"..."

After Yongshan Yuzhen left, Rina looked at the amber tea in the teacup, knocked on the outside of the teacup, looked at the water ripples, and sighed.

There is no other reason for asking Nagayama Yuma that question. After the trip to Hakone, when Rina's cold recovered and her mind was no longer confused, she accidentally recalled what happened that day, and it was strange.

Kazuki Honma's words didn't seem like he was talking to someone, but it seemed that he was deliberately speaking to her.

And he is not a careless person, the door did not forget to close it, but it was opened for her, in order for her to hear those words and clarify his and his intentions.

As Yongshan Youzhen said, even if she knows the truth, it doesn't matter to her anymore.

—she knew what she had to do.

·

After boring family gatherings and dinners, the guests left one after another.When people in twos and threes were still gathering in the hall, laughing and reminiscing about the past, grandfather had already returned to the room early.

After Aunt Chaomori confirmed her grandfather's whereabouts, Rina knocked on the door.

"Hmm...cough, cough cough—come in." After a muffled cough came from inside, the grandfather responded briskly.

Li Ming pushed the door open and entered.

"It's Liming, what can I do for you?" The night was windy, and my grandfather was sitting by the window wearing a feather woven, with a tea set and a book in front of him. He glanced at her sideways, because of the previous cough, The voice is a little hoarse.

"Yeah." Rina nodded, she walked into the room and closed the door, sat down opposite her grandfather, and said, "Grandpa asked me to meet the Honma family, I have been pretending not to understand grandpa's words." Hint, sorry."

The grandfather Yong Shanxiu, who was buried in the book, replied without raising his head: "It seems that you have finally figured it out, or did someone tell you something? Youzhen? That kid from the Honma family? Or your mother?"

"No, what I'm going to say next is all out of my own will," Li Ming pursed her lips and said seriously, "I will not marry the Yongshan family."

"..." Yongshan Xiuyi didn't answer, he was still expressionless, as if he didn't hear what Liming said, he was flipping through the books in his hand.

For a while, there were only the rustling of leaves and the slight sound of paper being turned.

Rina swallowed nervously.

Grandpa, who used to be a policeman and a member of parliament, has always been strict and never said anything, which is why she has been afraid to bring this matter to the surface.

However, she didn't want to trouble Akashi because of her family's problems, and this was something she had to solve by herself.

Although it was an unfounded trust, Rina knew that even if she told Akashi about it, he would not say anything, let alone blame her, but proceeded to deal with it.But it is annoying to push all the difficulties on others and enjoy the benefits for yourself.

She opened her mouth slightly, and wanted to say something to break the silence. Yong Shanxiu opened his mouth: "Is it because of that kid from Akashi's family? I remember his name is Akashi Seijuro, do you like him?"

"...Hmm." Rina carefully observed Grandpa's face, and nodded cautiously.

"After he came last time, from your attitude towards him, I can see that the relationship between you is not just 'classmates'." Grandpa finally put down the book in his hand, he raised his eyelids, and paused After a while, he said in a calm tone, "That young man is very good. Whether it's his family background or him, I have no dissatisfaction. His insight and talent are among the best I have ever met. "

The grandfather who is a former member of parliament has seen countless people, and he treats others and himself strictly, such unsparing praise is really rare for Yongshan Shuichi, which is enough to show his recognition of that boy degree.

Li Ming's eyes were bright, seeing that Yongshan Shuichi was still indifferent, Li Ming couldn't help but flatten the corners of his lips again, and as expected, Grandpa continued: "If it was a few years earlier, and I hadn't stepped down from the position of councilor, I will agree with you."

"But...it has nothing to do with whether grandpa is a member of parliament or not." Li Ming frowned slightly.She knew what grandpa wanted to say, but she was still unwilling and unconvinced.

"I was sick last time. After you came to visit, I asked someone to investigate the boy, including the Akashi family of course. You should know that the Akashi family is one of the three big chaebol families in Japan. Akashi Seijuro is the only son, so naturally The only heir of the Akashi family." Yong Shanxiu sighed, he looked at his favorite granddaughter lovingly, slowed down his tone, and rarely restrained his edge - even a vigorous and resolute former member of parliament, at this time he would It was just an old man who was worried about his descendants, and he analyzed it for her, "From the perspective of family background, it's not that the Yongshan family cannot match the Akashi family. If it gets out, it can be called a good story. However, the situation of the Yongshan family , you should be very clear."

"Although I don't want to admit it, since your grandma went to heaven, my health has deteriorated year after year. The Yongshan family is a family of political figures, and the branch family has the obligation to assist the main family... Even if they are both my heirs, in the end they failed A family that inherits the main business will be no exception. Generally speaking, the family business is inherited by the eldest son, but... I let your father inherit Yongshan Film and Television-inherited the property of the separated family. Although , The reason why I made this decision is that your father's talent is not in politics but in business, but it is a fact that I am sorry for your family."

Li Ming never thought that there would be a day for grandpa to admit defeat and admit his old age. When he was telling these twists and turns, Li Ming stared at the gray temples of his grandfather and thought, Grandpa might really be old.

"I have never stepped down from the position of the head of the family. I don't want you to become a branch family. However, my body has become weaker and weaker in the past few years. There are many major problems without minor problems. I don't know how long I can last. Year--"

"Grandpa will live a long life." Li Ming suddenly interrupted him with reddened eyes, and his fingertips trembled slightly for a while.

Yong Shanxiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, he didn't like to laugh, he spoke harshly all day long, this smile made his expression a bit stiff, but it was gentle.

Grandpa shook his head and continued: "The main family is naturally compatible with the Akashi family, so what if you become a branch family? On the other hand, the Honma family is not only family friends who know each other well, but also a cooperative relationship. Compared with the Akashi family who have almost no communication, I am more assured that you will marry into the Honma family."

"However, feelings are not evaluated by whether they are reasonable or not. Although it is self-willed to say so...but I hope grandpa can understand me." Li Ming knew that grandpa was thinking of her, and because of this, she didn't lose her temper, but rather Calmly but seriously, he said to grandpa, "Grandpa and grandma didn't get married just because they were reasonable."

The grandfather quietly looked at the girl's bright and firm eyes, and he thought of himself and his wife when they were young.Li Ming's appearance is like a mother, and her gentle and generous mother is not exactly the same as her calm and indifferent father. When she was a child, Li Ming was very noisy and stubborn. That stubborn appearance... is a bit like when he was young.

"...I can promise you." After being silent for a long time, Shuichi Yongshan, who was rumored to be stubborn and strict in the outside world, still chose to compromise in front of his granddaughter, but he did not give in completely. She touched the girl's body, and said slowly, with judgment, "But, I have one condition."

"—If you can't do it, then leave Akashi."

By the way... everyone, let's get fat (hey)

Seriously speaking, I may have some negative energy recently, but it is very irresponsible to bring negative energy to readers, and I don’t want to bring this kind of emotion into the article, so I won’t go into details here, plus For various reasons such as the burnout period, the update has become more sci-fi QAQ

Basically, my outline can be expanded and reduced reasonably while ensuring a certain ending.

According to the outline of the abbreviated version, I can finish it quite quickly... But this is equivalent to cutting off part of the sugar-sprinkling plot, and I am not selfish, so I adjust the status during this period and will update it, but the update The time cannot be guaranteed (but please rest assured that it will not be changed every week).

So readers who feel that they are suffering from waiting can give it a try, okay?

I can finish writing before the 15th of next month at the latest. 2333
