Mrs. Xiaolin has fair skin, her hair is styled in a retro British style, and she wears a warm cotton jacket covering a long white skirt, with two thin legs swaying under the skirt.
In his impression, the other party has always been so graceful, perfectly matching the appearance of the noble lady next door.
However, when Minamoto no Yorimitsu read out the name, Mrs. Kobayashi, who was hurriedly walking towards her daughter with an anxious expression, suddenly stopped moving. A look of horror at being recognized gradually appeared in her eyes, and her whole movements became stiff.
"What a coincidence? Beihara-san, what are you..."
Minamoto Yorimitsu's words caused the fair-skinned and beautiful Mrs. Kobayashi and Kitahara Hiroji to stop in unison and glance at each other nervously.
"Yuan, Mr. Yuan, what a coincidence!"
Kitahara Hongji swallowed his saliva and said with a forced smile: "Mrs. Xiaolin needs to buy some things for the festival, and the driver happens to be away. I am on duty today, so..."
This feeble reason can be exposed by anyone. It can be said that it is a lie with open eyes.
Everyone knows how powerful the Xiaolin family is.
As the deputy governor of Kyoto Prefecture, would my wife not have a driver when she goes out? Is it necessary for the property security guard in the garden area to act as a driver and take her with her when she comes?
It's obviously a clumsy lie.
But Kitahara Koji was not too nervous, because he knew that Minamoto no Yorimitsu was aware of it, and if he wanted to report it, he would not have warned him to be careful in the first place.
But Mrs. Xiaolin's face was not so good.
Not to mention the nervousness on his face, after seeing Minamoto Noraimitsu's face clearly, he obviously recognized the neighbor who lived next to his house. His face suddenly turned pale with fright, and he couldn't stop himself even if his daughter called her mother.
Although people who live in a place like theirs don't have to first establish good neighborly relations like ordinary families.
But occasionally when we go out, we can see each other without looking up. Mrs. Xiaolin has naturally seen him before, and even said hello in a friendly way when we took a walk two days ago.
So now she was so frightened that she was sweating profusely.
As an ordinary woman, especially a woman with a family and a guilty conscience who has done bad things, it is impossible for her to take any chances after being caught doing something bad. She just feels like her brain is dizzy.
Mrs. Kobayashi was obviously frightened and almost staggered and fainted. Fortunately, Kitahara Hiroshi next to her quickly helped her with his eyesight and comforted her softly.
Whispered a few words in his ear.
Mrs. Kobayashi's face, which was already determined to die, gradually improved, and her eyes began to look expectant when she looked at Minamoto Yorimitsu.
"So that's it." Minamoto norimitsu had no intention of meddling in this business. He just looked at the little girl hugging Mrs. Xiaolin's thigh and looked at the young man with doubts in his eyes: "By the way, this child is...
"
"This child is Governor Xiaolin's daughter."
Kitahara Hiroshi explained hurriedly.
Minamoto Yorimitsu's eyes slowly softened. Thinking about it, the other party was only twenty years old, and this child looked to be five or six years old. She should not be their illegitimate daughter.
It’s different to help a lonely lady who often needs to travel late at night because her husband is in public office to solve problems.
If she really gave birth to a daughter, this kind of thing would be even more serious. Even if she was discovered at this level, the other party would not be able to escape death.
"It's okay. This child was lost. I didn't expect that I happened to meet him. It's quite a coincidence."
Minamoto Noraimitsu said with a smile.
Kitahara Hiroshi felt more relaxed, nodded and said, "Yes, you are right."
After looking at the time, Minamoto no Yorimitsu shook the movie ticket in his hand: "It's time for us to go in and watch a movie."
"In this case, my wife and I will not disturb you, Mr. Yuan. Today's affairs have been of great help."
Kitahara Hiroshi has a good psychological quality. After a brief period of nervousness, he now looks calm.
Mrs. Xiaolin calmed down, but she was still a little frightened. She gently touched her hair that was soaked in cold sweat by her ears, and said softly: "Thank you so much, Mr. Yuan."
"You're welcome. As a neighbor, you should."
Minamoto no Yorimitsu also smiled and said politely to the other party.
The three of them exchanged brief greetings.
When Sakichu and Koto were confused, and Ryokage Tenkai had a strange look in his eyes and wanted to speak, Minamoto no Yorimitsu reminded them in a low voice, and pulled them to check in.
Kitahara Hiroshi and Mrs. Kobayashi stood there.
The little girl looked around curiously.
It seems that I rarely come to such crowded places.
"Mr. Yuan is such a good man. He encouraged me a long time ago. I will definitely repay him in the future."
Kitahara Hiroshi said with some emotion.
"Are you really not going to tell anyone?" Mrs. Xiaolin held her daughter's hand, her expression still a little worried.
"Mr. Yuan has several girlfriends. He understands me best. He has already told me if I want to go out."
"How many girlfriends do you want to have?"
"No, I am very dedicated and only love you." Kitahara Hongsi hugged her: "It's just that Mr. Yuan understands me very well, so he understands even more how sincere my love for you is."
"Even so, you have to be careful. It was him you met today. What if you meet someone else tomorrow?"
"Then let's do another special training tonight."
"Uncle Kitahara, are you coming to Rina's house again tonight? Are you going to play hide-and-seek with Rina?"
"Of course, Rina hid you very well. Uncle may not be able to find you for an hour today."
"Then next time I won't be able to find it for two hours!"
...
Meeting them was just a brief interlude.
The two-hour movie was quickly finished.
Kodō Sakichu looked like he was still immersed in the plot of the movie, and occasionally made a few gestures to imitate the murderous movements of the heroine in the movie.
Minamoto no Laiguang's eyelids jumped as he looked at it.
Ryokage Tenkai, who originally proposed to watch the movie, seemed to be very curious about what happened to Kitahara Koji and Mrs. Kobayashi just now, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Senior, that Mrs. Xiaolin just now lives next to us. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be..."
She had a delicate mind and could tell something was wrong with the two people at a glance. Coupled with the identity information she already knew, she basically made a rough guess.
Unlike Saki Hatsu and Koto, who blankly thought he was just an acquaintance of his, he honestly didn't think too much about it.
And she was rather curious, so she saw that the person she had met two days before was so graceful and gentle during the day, but ended up having a secret meeting with the pretty boy in private.
"It's good if you know some things." Minamoto no Yoriguang interrupted her, but said it calmly.
Other people's affairs will naturally be handled by others.
Frankly speaking, he doesn't discriminate against those who eat soft food. That's all based on true ability and just being yourself.
Ryokage Tianhai's expression was sullen. She was very interested in these upper-class things, especially melon-eating, an activity suitable for all ages, which aroused her natural curiosity as a woman. However, Minamoto Yorimitsu refused.
If you say more, of course she won't ask any more questions.
After leaving the theater, I took my things and went home.
Today being Christmas Eve, Liangying Tianhai specially bought a Christmas tree and prepared to assemble it by himself.
Minamoto Norimitsu is sitting on the sofa reading a book.
Koto Sakichu went to the kitchen to prepare food.
She arranged the dark green Christmas tree, hung up the ribbons and balloons, and put on the flashing star lights. She finished it by herself in about twenty or thirty minutes.
But before Ryokage Tenkai could take a breath, Oyaobao Chayin came back from get off work with a chill in his body.
"Put your clothes on and put your shoes away." Chayin, the royal medicine bag, had just entered the door and took off his shoes, put down the various documents in his hand, and the tip of his nose seemed to be wrapped around the air-conditioning outside the door, and warned: "You need to use
Garment steamer.”
Liangying Tianhai's forehead had faint blue veins.
But in the end I endured it.
With an expressionless expression, she bent down and put the other person's shoes in place, then found a support from the entrance. After holding up the clothes, she went to the garment ironing machine and turned on the button.
"Let the water in the water box heat up first."
Oiyabukuro Chayin rubbed his red hands, picked up the teapot and started pouring water, directing without turning his head.
"You don't need to remind me! I know this too!" Liangying Tianhai's face turned dark, and he finally yelled with dissatisfaction, and then continued to do what the housekeeper did.
She has been targeted since losing the bet.
Different from the previous undisputed, even Minamoto Yorimitsu discovered that the sound of the royal medicine bag tea seemed to have changed a bit and began to have a sense of presence.
Especially like to target Liangying Tianhai.
It seemed like he was expressing some kind of resentment.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu felt that it was related to the transaction that day.
So under the orders of these two days, Liangying Tianhai groaned, but she was not the kind of person who couldn't afford to lose, and she would still do it as long as it didn't go too far.
Oiyabukuro Chaon went to the kitchen to help.
The time soon came to nine o'clock, and there were stars outside the window. As the air was thin, there would be more stars.
Today's dinner was particularly sumptuous.
Maybe it was because of the last meal. Sakichu Kodō and Oyakubukuro Chaon cooked a lot. They put out several plates of tempura fried food alone. They also made a special pot for sukiyaki, with wagyu and beef next to it.
vegetable.
The four of them finally sat down at the dining table.
“merry christmas!”
Liangying Tianhai clasped his hands and spoke first.
Gifts were exchanged before eating.
The sweater worn by Sakichu Koto is very soft to the touch, and the stitching is very dense. It looks like the one from the specialty store, and it can be seen that it is definitely made with great care.
Liangying Tianhai’s gloves are of course.
It’s just that compared to the sweater, these gloves look crooked, and there’s something wrong with the fit alone.
When I gave it to him, I blushed and turned my head.
It seems that he knows that his skills are not very good.
The medicine bag Chaon gave was very ordinary, it was a Yukimori from Kiyomizu-dera Temple. When Yoshikage Tenkai saw this gift, he was proud of it and felt that she had no intention at all.
But Minamoto Yorimitsu looked at the yellow Yukimori, looked at the date on the bag, and found that it was three months ago.
Did you buy it at that time?
When he glanced at Oyabao Chaone who was cutting the cake, there was no strange color on his face, but Minamoto no Yorimitsu knew that the sensible vase before was gone forever.
It is very likely that he will be able to achieve success next time.
To avenge yourself?
Or do you have other plans?
Minamoto norimitsu's eyes were deep for a moment.
He didn't think much about it and just gave them his gifts, which were necklaces, bracelets and clothes that were rewards from the previous simulator, but he didn't say the specific price.
After all, I got it from them.
Think of it as a year-end bonus.
This wave is again taken from the people and used by the people.
This meal was extremely peaceful.
According to the original theory, after Christmas Eve, they would go back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year. Maybe it was for this reason that they all kept strangely quiet.
After eating the apples, they went back to their rooms.
Minamoto Yorimitsu drank a can of soda down there.
The last one turned off the light and was about to go back to the room, but on the balcony outside the end of the corridor on the second floor, he saw Koto Sakichu lying on the armrest and looking at the night sky.
"Why don't you go back to sleep?"
Minamoto norimitsu opened the door directly and asked.
The night breeze on the balcony is very cool.
But the moonlight today is particularly bright.
Sakichu Koto was startled, but after seeing it was him, he felt relieved. He stood in front of the fence and hesitated and said, "Ah? It's okay. I want to stand by myself for a while..."
"Then let me stand with you."
Under Sakichu Koto's surprised gaze, Minamoto no Yorimitsu walked up to her and put his hands on the railing.
The biting night wind penetrated through the cuffs.
He also slightly lifted his freshly washed hair.
Sakichu and Xiaoteng glanced at him secretly.
She pinched her fingers inside her sleeves, struggled internally for a while, and finally leaned over and hugged him gently.
It seems that he noticed that he was wearing thin clothes.
Sakichu Koto also carefully unbuttoned her cotton pajamas, and wrapped the side with her own body temperature as much as possible around Minamoto Noraimitsu's body.
The Hoshoji Town is brightly lit in the distance.
The cold makes people sober, but in the warmth of this coldness, there is an extra sense of satisfaction.
"Guangjun, I never think about other people's thoughts. Am I a very incompetent girlfriend?"
A cowardly voice suddenly came.
There is also a very boring feeling.
It was Sakichu Koto who buried her head in his arms.
Minamoto Yorimitsu looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that she would have such a knot, but he smiled and stroked her head: "You can't say that about yourself."
"In this world, there are many people who play her specific roles, such as parents, or as a wife."
After a pause, he lowered his head and glanced at Sakichu Kodou, who had his ears perked up, and continued:
"Sometimes being willful and jumping out of other people's opinions of you is actually not wrong at all."
"But if for this reason, you lose your original intention, become restrained, and have to look forward and backward in everything you do, you will not get good results."
"So when you work hard for the life you want, don't worry about other people's opinions or evaluations. In fact, my work is the same. I often face various temptations, and it is often difficult to stick to my heart."
"It's very tiring to play a role all the time."
"Sometimes you just need to be yourself, hold your chest high and behave openly, and you don't have to be afraid of anything."
These words were not only meant for her, but also for Minamoto Noraimitsu himself. He didn't need to care about other people's opinions, he could just go to the dark side on this path.
He is in the swamp, but he does not live in the swamp.
Although I am not willing to bring down the world, but occasionally I feel really uncomfortable, Minamoto Yorimitsu still has the idea that it is better to slander others than to blame myself.
"I understand." Sakichu Xiaoteng muttered, arching his head in his arms, "I will try my best to be myself."
"But..." She hesitated again.
Then he raised his head from his arms, bit his lower lip with his teeth, looked at him carefully and asked:
"What exactly does Guangjun do?"
"Huh? My job? This..."
Minamoto no Yorimitsu was silent for a moment, his expression gradually became serious, and he said seriously in a heavy voice:
"I usually mainly fight against some bad people who like to manipulate people's hearts. You can understand it as the social practice of human observation. It is a special kind of interpersonal work, and its forms are divided into two types: psychological and physical."
It’s true that bad women equal bad people.
There are also psychological games.
Physical labor can even make you sweat profusely.
Sakichu Xiaoteng's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked quickly: "Is this a very dangerous job?"
"There is indeed a certain risk to personal safety, but at present it should be considered controllable."
Minamoto Yorimitsu looked at her deeply and said.
He remembered the movie he watched today.
And the excitement of the little girl in front of me after reading it.
"Will there be a lot of temptation too?"
Sakichu Koto asked quickly again.
Minamoto Yorimitsu had now reorganized his language skills, and continued as before:
"The temptation of this job is very great. If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss and become addicted to it. Even I am struggling to resist."
"But efforts are directly proportional to income."
"I believe you can also see that my house, car, cash, and even everything I own are all given to me by this job."
"Is that so..." Sakichu Koto was a little lost.
At this moment, she had thought of a lot based on what Minamoto Yorimitsu said, especially the sentence "The temptation is very dangerous and very high at the same time", which reminded her of certain things.
She is currently studying to pass the civil service exam, so legal knowledge is also compulsory, and she has also heard a saying that all profitable industries are written in the law.
Has Guangjun already committed a crime!?
Thinking about everything that Minamoto no Yorimitsu had gained, she had even imagined a big drama in her mind. Maybe she was living a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife. To be more serious, she even thought of industries such as spies and agents.
After all, she knew what happened to Minamoto Yorimitsu in the past.
It is abnormal no matter how you think about being able to obtain so much house and money in just a few months.
Thinking of this, Sakichu and Koto turned pale, but because he had been standing on the balcony for a long time and was blown by the cold wind, he could not see anything strange.
"What's wrong?" Minamoto Yorimitsu asked when he saw this.
"It's okay, you have to be careful not to get hurt."
Sakichu Koto warned with a forced smile.
But I have already made up my mind.
Even if you are arrested one day, I will take good care of myself and our children.
