Chapter 12

It happened to be the weekend, and it was rare for the firm to work.

It's not far from home here, and out of the consideration of connecting with family members, You Jing decided to go home for lunch at noon. He had sent an email notification to Ema an hour ago, and it was not too hasty.

The moment you stepped into the door, You Jing let out a long breath, and the elite who had been fully armed all the time faded away. At this moment, he showed a slight fatigue in the familiar home, but he quickly cleaned up, his eyes were not so gentle, but also He was so sharp and cold when he stood in court.

"I am back."

No one came out to greet him.

You Jing raised his hand to loosen his tie, walked a few steps in, and saw the housekeepers gathered around the sofa, through the gap between people, a few strands of gorgeous and extremely long red hair looming .

——Not Yusuke.

But the hair is so red and so long that it is almost exaggerated, there is always a sense of... déjà vu.

You Jing froze for a moment, "What are you doing?"

"You're back, Ukyo." Ema greeted first, and walked over naturally, but the suit jacket in Ukyo's hand was hung on the shelf next to it, and the others turned their heads.

The crowd dispersed for a while, leaving only Masato who was still helping Qingshi check for allergies (...), and Kaneki who had been quietly accompanying him all the time—when Ema said that Qingshi had just come into contact with her pet When the animal was allergic, all Kaneki's helplessness and embarrassment went to the back of his head, and only Qingshi's injury could be accommodated in his head.

Although the usual porcelain white complexion, it seems that there is no so-called "allergy".

"It looks like there should be no allergies." Yachen raised his head and gave Qingshi a comforting smile, "But since I know that I have this problem with my body, as a doctor, I still need to remind you—you should pay more attention to it. Although It seems that there is no problem now, but if there is any unexpected situation... it will be troublesome."

Qingshi withdrew her hand, and the other finger naturally touched the touched place and gently rubbed it back and forth. With a light smile, she nodded to Yachen in thanks, "I will pay attention. I am really sorry to trouble you this time, Asahina... "

With a warm and familiar tone of thanks, and an extremely aggressive appearance, this is...!

"Akashi...Miss?"

You Jing obviously hesitated for a moment, but his voice was still a little higher than usual due to excessive surprise.

Qingshi raised her head when she heard the sound, and was stunned for a second when she saw Ukyo, and then gave a smile as usual, "Hello, Mr. Asahina—" His eyes swept over the [Asahina] in front of him again, since they are all surnamed Asahina...

"That's right..." There was a slight sweet smile in the voice, "It's really not common... It should have been thought of earlier."

Ukyo, who has always handled everything in an orderly manner, was rarely confused once, but the calmness he accumulated as a lawyer all the year round made him calm down quickly, just like a lawyer slowing down his speech when negotiating, "Ms. Is a brother a friend?"

While speaking, he glanced sharply at the row of brothers standing beside Qingshi.

As the private lawyer of the Akashi family, Ukyo naturally knew Akashi Haruji.

About 20 days ago, he was suddenly summoned to Akashi's mansion.At that time, this person was the same as now—sitting quietly in his own seat, with his hands neatly folded on his slender white legs, and the tutor waited patiently.

Ukyo has met the young master of Akashi's family, and this one's appearance is indeed extremely similar to that one.His face maintained the usual coldness and indifference during office work, but doubts were unavoidable in his heart, so Youjing looked over naturally.That person seemed to sense it right away, turned around and gave him a smile. The smile was light and decent, very beautiful and gentle, which softened the flamboyant red hair a lot.

It is to draw up an "adoption agreement".

However, during the drafting process, the suspected twin girl almost gave up all legitimate rights, just wanting to continue to survive under the name "Akashi Haruhime".Even in the face of such a strong Mr. Akashi, she was not seen to be submissive with the slightest fear.And when she said softly to give up again and again, her expression was always quiet and gentle, her brows were relaxed and there was a sense of laziness and lethargy, as if she was throwing away useless garbage casually, turning a blind eye to the treasure that countless people dreamed of.

Conversely, I can more and more appreciate her persistent and distorted insistence on the surname "Akashi".

After the whole process, her calmness and composure were fully highlighted, and her almost complete adult temperament appeared in a junior high school girl...it became scary.

You Jing doesn't want his brother to get in touch with such a scheming girl at all, as long as the other party is willing, he will definitely be eaten away to the bone!

As a result, Ukyo's gaze at Qingshi unconsciously sharpened.

Whose friend is it really?

But such outstanding friends, he has never heard from them once. Is there something to hide or... the relationship is not good enough to visit home?Then what is the purpose of today's sudden visit? Did you finally have an identity and want to show your face?

Do not make jokes.

Or, is it my sister's friend? ...that is too unbelievable.

The younger brothers felt You Jing's emotions, and shook their heads to disassociate themselves from each other while pointing to Yachen on the far right.As the eldest son, Yachen also nodded helplessly.

"Miss Akashi..."

Kaneki also noticed it, and he spontaneously moved his body to block Qingshi, but Qingshi pinned his wrist and fixed him in place.Qingshi turned her head and gave him a reassuring look, then turned around and met You Jing's eyes again, the smile on her lips was appropriate, quiet but not without a sense of presence.

"As a friend... I probably can't afford it. I didn't know anyone here before, but some...accidents happened, so I just happened to appear here. Since this time, Mr. Asahina's family has taken care of me. "

"You're too modest, Akashi-san." Masaomi keenly noticed Ukyo's guarded and unfriendly attitude - he knew that Ukyo was not a random person, but it was too rude to his benefactor like this.So he stood up and tried to ease the atmosphere, and touched Mi's head next to him, "It's because Mi is too naughty, we should be the ones being taken care of."

Qingshi greeted Yachen with some polite words, glanced at the clock on the wall out of the corner of her eye, "Is it already this late?"

Ema opened her mouth to say an invitation, but was interrupted by Haruhisa first, "Na-san Asahina, because Kaneki-kun and I have other things to do in a hurry, that skirt... can you lend me to wear it first? Probably You have to wait for me to replace it before returning it to you."

"Hey - are you going to leave so soon? No more..."

Qingshi shook her head, but she refused gently but resolutely, "It's enough to bother you until now, if you... it's too much." Qingshi turned her head and looked at Kaneki as she spoke, her smile deepened , The already gentle face was covered with a layer of warm light at this moment.

"Please allow us to leave first." The intentionally slow tone and the hand held were quite obvious.

Too, too bold, Akashi-san, she...

Not only Kaneki, but even Ema blushed, "D-Of course. Just take the clothes back, Akashi-san, no, don't rush to return them to me... Wait a minute--Akashi-san's original clothes are still with me It’s drying in the room, I’ll help you take it down.”

As she said, she walked upstairs as if fleeing, Qingshi could only see her back, "Thank you."

"It was intentional to push my sister away..." Fengdou, who had been lazily nestling on the sofa, raised his head lazily, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was also a little careless, but the eyes that looked at Qingshi were very It's bright.

——He hasn't forgotten the uncontrollable sense of fear that Qingshi brought him before.

The smile on the corner of Fengdou's mouth suddenly deepened, with a hint of malice in the sweetness, "I'm really curious that Brother You Jing can use that kind of respectful title. So...what is your background? Can you tell me something?" ?”

"You're going too far, Fengdou." Tsubaki smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Fengdou's head indiscriminately a few times, but his words were frivolous without any real condemnation, and then he looked at Qingshi, "But I also have some thoughts. I know... this 'guest' lady."

Guest—this is Qingshi's original self-proclaimed name.

Compared to the strange girl who refused to tell her name, they were still more willing to trust their elder brother.

And just now he saw all the strangeness of Fengdou.

"Tsubaki!"

"Winds!"

Yachen and Zi Qiqi uttered a voice to stop it, even Jin Mu couldn't bear it anymore—it was obvious that they had rescued people out of good intentions and turned them into what they are now, why can these people...

But Miss Akashi in front of her looked calm and relaxed, as if she hadn't been affected in any way.In the next second, the cool fingertips touched the pulse of his wrist, beckoning him not to move.

"My words..." Qingshi glanced at the group of [Asahina]. Anyway, Ukyo knows her details clearly, and I guess she will explain to them in detail after she leaves... Qingshi explained calmly, "My name is Akashi , the full name is Akashi Haruhisa, and 'Akashi' is the 'Akashi' you are thinking of now. Although she is only an "adopted daughter", she should barely be able to be called—"Missy."

"It's... for some special reasons, it was recently adopted. I also met Mr. Asahina during the process of drawing up the agreement." Qingshi said and looked up at You Jing, indicating that the [Asahina] she was talking about was the one in front of her. , said reasonably, "I can understand Mr. Asahina's attitude, after all, I am now... huh—"

After all, my identity and position are very delicate now.

Qingshi's voice became weaker and weaker, the last half of the sentence was stuck in her throat along with the self-mockery, leaving only a soft smile on the corner of her mouth.And with her silence, the atmosphere fell into silence.Fengdou and Tsubaki, who were choking with Qingshi at first, didn't make a sound at this moment, but lowered their heads silently.Jin Mu beside him silently held Qingshi's hand back, and the warm body temperature came along with it, giving her a silent transmission of strength.

The strong gain glory, and the weak gain sympathy.

--fair enough.

Yachen, who was still the eldest male, spoke first, "I'm sorry."

This silent atmosphere lasted until Ema packed her clothes and went downstairs, exchanged contact information with Qingshi, and then sent them out.

"Miss Akashi, are you... alright?" Kaneki furrowed, worried to the extreme.

"Will Jin Mu-kun feel sorry for me because of this?"

Qingshi's voice was soft, and there was a pitiful feeling in line with the words, Kaneki immediately replied without thinking, "How could it be?! To me, Miss Akashi is Miss Akashi, and the Miss Akashi I know is like this, It was no different from start to finish!"

"Besides, Miss Akashi..."

...and I have never looked down on me like this.

Moreover, being an "adopted daughter" is still the identity of the "Akashi family", so she can be proud of it, and there is nothing shameful about it.

"Well, I think so too."

Qingshi turned her head as she spoke, and smiled softly at Kaneki's awe-inspiring, upright face, "But it's the third time, Kaneki-kun." Seeing Kaneki's blank face, Qingshi smiled more briskly and smoothly , "I said don't just believe what I say—"

Kaneki turned his mind several times, and then looked at Qingshi in disbelief, "That, that... Miss Akashi is... again..." Are you lying again?

In the end, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak well.

Qingshi nodded happily.

Jin Mu took a closer look at Qingshi's expression, and found that she was indeed not in the slightest of sadness, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised, which contrasted with the curled corners of her mouth, and she was indeed in a very good mood.

Although it was a bit helpless to be tricked again, Kaneki was quite happy to see that Qingshi was not affected by the mood.

"But why doesn't that person welcome Akashi-san..." Kaneki was puzzled by this point.

Obviously Miss Akashi is a very good person...

Kaneki stopped in place, but Qingshi kept walking forward, "Who knows?" Her voice was extremely soft but she didn't seem to care, but the golden eyes slowly opened, and suddenly appeared A little cold color, "But liking this kind of thing is different from person to person. No one can tell, isn't it?"

But I know.

Mr. Asahina’s reason for rejecting me—I can also understand your desire to protect your family as much as possible.

Telling a harmless little lie, and receiving a little reputation compensation on the premise of protecting Lingdi... Isn't it natural?

It's a good deal.

After finishing speaking, Qingshi turned her head and pressed down the strands of long hair that had been blown up by the wind, and the strands of hair brushed against the pupils of different colors, faintly revealing an illusion of tenderness.

It's just that, compared to those who are deep-minded, suspicious, and overly rational... even compared to "myself"——

"I really..." Qingshi showed a soft and beautiful smile to Jinmu, "I really like Jinmu-kun more."
