The dead branches of the willow tree in the courtyard are piled with snow. Occasionally, the cool breeze blows through, and the branches of the willow tree tremble and fall gently.
Minamoto Noraimitsu led her into the villa.
Fortunately, the central air-conditioning and heating are on 24 hours a day. Otherwise, in such a large villa, let alone living alone, it would still be deserted even if he lived here, and the temperature probably wouldn't be as high as outside.
Asking Seiko Kamiya to sit in the living room for a while, he went to the kitchen to take out some tea and was about to return to the living room.
But Minamoto Yorimitsu thought about it carefully.
He turned back to the kitchen, took out a box of half-cooked cheese, and placed it on the coffee table in the living room.
"Have all those children left?" Shengzi Shengzi said, "Your family seems a little shabby today."
Her voice is like a deep valley and deep pool, like the sound of water flowing in an underground river. It is smooth yet has a pleasant charm, and is a little ethereal with an inexplicable flavor.
Minamoto Yorimitsu first glanced at Tani Seiko's beautiful chest, and then moved his eyes away with some reluctance and poured tea: "Miss Seiko is really well-informed."
Seiko Kamiya was dressed very elegantly today.
She used to love wearing dresses, and she also preferred overlapping black and red colors, but now the weather is getting colder and colder, and she can't wear dresses even if she puts something underneath.
She wore a women's slim-fitting suit today. It was different from the standard suit. It looked more supple and had a longer tail. It looked more elegant and elegant than an ordinary suit. She wore a white shirt underneath.
The collar is a typical Western-style classical lace shape, and this kind of shirt is obviously more flattering to the chest shape.
The chestnut-colored hair is still pulled back, and the hair is slightly floating on the sides of the cheeks. Although she has her legs together and looks calm, her every move shows mature charm.
"As I get older, I can't find the answers to some things myself, so I can only send someone to take a look."
Seiko Kamiya took the black tea from him and didn't drink it. He just put it in front of him, raised his head and looked into his eyes, and said pointedly: "It's better than letting others throw photos in my face to show off their power."
.”
She put the photo just now on the table:
"You'd better keep this kind of photo for yourself. After all, it's a precious memory. It would be a pity to lose it."
Minamoto Yorimitsu glanced at the photo. It was naturally a wedding photo of him and Mizusawa Natsuye, with the latter holding his arm with a sweet look on her face. The location was of course the Water Church.
There are dozens of photos in total.
A white envelope was filled to the brim, and it said "Holy Son" on it. It didn't look like a mailed letter, but more like a wedding invitation.
He had already guessed the Grand Master's thoughts.
But he didn't stop it at the time. After all, he owed a favor, and with the thought of Holy Son Kamiya, I'm afraid he wouldn't be too concerned about this kind of thing easily.
"Is this why you let people follow me?"
Minamoto Noraimitsu took a sip of tea and looked at her calmly, smiling slightly with a questioning look in his eyes.
"I care about you so that people can look at you and pay attention to your movements at all times. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy."
"Isn't it an invasion of privacy to be clear?"
"Based on our relationship, it shouldn't be considered an invasion of privacy, right? Or do you think I have any harmful intentions and do something detrimental to you?"
"What is our relationship?"
This question caused the originally smiling Seiko Kamiya to fall silent, while Yorimitsu Minamoto was still there, calmly sipping the black tea.
Of course they have nothing to do with each other.
To be honest, it's just that we had business dealings, and they were ambiguously entangled for a while, and the result was unpleasant, and it's still very hazy now.
Kamiya Seiko is different from others.
She is noble and elegant, knows etiquette, and has the blessing of status. Even if she wants to get close to her, she will not be as shameless as Mizusawa Natsuye, let alone write her emotions on her face like a little girl.
Watching Minamoto no Yoriguang pouring black tea with lowered eyes.
There was no ripple in her pupils as she reflected the other person's face, but her thoughts began to get mixed up.
I think of our first meeting, the disappointed eyes under Kyoto Tower, the figure walking in the mist in the forest, and the profile on the shore of Lake Biwa.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu doesn't seem to have any charm either.
But he was like a paintbrush full of ink that was scribbling wildly. He broke into her life by accident and sprayed ink on her body wantonly.
It completely disrupted her previous life.
The more perfectly synchronized people are, the more they dislike each other. The more opposite they are, the more interested they are. She also knows the relationship.
So this kind of thing is not emotion.
Most likely it was just a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing waves that have not been seen in a long time.
"Did you know about Beiyuan before?"
While she was still slightly lost in thought, Minamoto no Yorimitsu seemed to be bored. He had already turned on the wall-mounted TV with the remote control and asked casually while lying on the sofa.
After a moment of silence.
Holy Son Kamiya nodded slightly.
"Did Mrs. Xiaolin have an affair with the security guard at the door? What they did was too blatant."
She looked at the TV screen as she spoke.
What was shown above was a love variety show. It seemed like the show had just started. On the screen was a strange man and woman participating in the show, listening to the host explaining the rules.
The two were sitting in a small room, and the production team had corresponding subtitles to explain. It seemed that the man was a veteran in love, but the woman had never been in a relationship. The essence of the program was to allow the man and woman to have close contact without speaking.
Observing the reactions of both parties can be regarded as a series of personal observations.
Intimate contact with people he has never met before. This is such a despicable and boring behavior. Shengzi Shengya disdains it in his heart, but his slender eyes are still very calm.
She usually wouldn't even watch a boring program like this. To be precise, she hasn't watched TV for many years. The channel for obtaining information is not here, and since taking charge of family affairs, her way of entertainment has changed.
It has dropped so sharply that it can almost be said that her leisure time at work is her own pastime.
"Then Deputy Governor Xiaolin should." Listening to the confident tone of Seiko Kamiya, and thinking about the methods of these people, some speculations suddenly arose in his heart.
It is impossible for normal people not to mind something as scandalous as a family member's cheating, let alone a family that cares about face, unless Kobayashi Toyocheng is not straight.
Seiko Kamiya watched the TV and confirmed the suspicion that had just emerged in his mind: "Of course he also knows."
"Since you know, why are you indifferent?"
Minamoto Noraimitsu tapped his fingers regularly on the table.
She turned her head when she heard the sound, moved her gaze from the TV screen, and looked at Minamoto no Yorimitsu's face.
Seiko Kamiya leaned back slightly and hugged her with his slender arms: "Not everyone will pay so much attention to emotional loyalty. For family marriage, cheating is nothing, even if it is the woman, there is nothing unjustifiable. If Kobayashi Sang
If he can't even detect this kind of thing, he can't be the deputy governor of the government office."
"And his wife's family, Mrs. Kobayashi's natal family, is a prominent family in Osaka. This identity shared by both parties makes it difficult for them to break up their marriage easily, even if they commit betrayal."
"After all, marriage means using each other's resources. If Kobayashi Sang exposes this kind of thing and makes the relationship between the two families very tense, it will certainly not be good for him. What's more, he is still in the critical period of running for governor. This kind of
Family scandals can be very serious."
Having said this, Seiko Kamiya stretched out his fingers as if he wanted to eat a piece of half-cooked cheese, but felt that it was too rude to hold it with his hands. Instead, he picked up the cup and sipped the black tea slightly, and continued in a flat tone:
"Neither the so-called lower class people nor the upper class people deserve to have something like love. It is too idealistic. Even if arrogant people try to control their own destiny, it will only be an illusion in the end."
"It's okay to be like Mrs. Xiaolin. Although she may be afraid because she has done something wrong, it does not prevent her from finding herself in the barriers, such as getting the care of her husband in the arms of other men."
"After all, she didn't see clearly, so she jumped back and forth between fear and happiness. Sometimes people who see clearly don't dare to resist. Even if they have a higher status than her, they may not have her determination."
After she finished speaking, her chestnut eyes stared into the calm glass, which reflected her face and her peaceful heart.
Although face is important to them, the inheritance of a family must of course be based on profit.
Minamoto Yoriguang listened thoughtfully, and after a long silence, he said to himself intentionally or unintentionally: "But most of them can be controlled by yourself. It just depends on how much you give up and whether you are willing to give up the sunk cost."
"Sunk cost."
When Shengzi Shengzi heard this, he was startled for a moment, his maroon pupils fluctuated slightly, and he seemed to have thought about the angle he said, but he did not continue to speak.
Minamoto Yorimitsu glanced at her expression and knew that this was a good time to break Shuang Yiliu's heart, but his expression remained as usual, and instead smiled and gave her an example:
"Since you can choose, you can get it, but you have to give up more than what you want, so you will give up in the end."
"It's like you are not rich. You are an orphan and you have to spend 200 yen to take the bus every day to go to school. But you want to buy a piece of candy today and taste what other people's children put in their mouths every day."
"But your hourly wage from your part-time job is very small. The money you plan to spend today can only be used to take the bus. If you go to buy that piece of candy, you have to walk to school. But if you go to school, you will be late, and you will be punished for being late."
"You don't want to be punished, so you don't use the money to buy that piece of candy, which means you do it every time and end up losing the taste of your childhood memories."
Minamoto Noraimitsu looked at the coffee table and pushed the half-cooked cheese towards her: "This is obviously a multiple-choice question, not a so-called unsolvable question. The answer is there and you can control it yourself, but it depends on whether you think it is worth it.
"
He just got the truth cheese and wanted to try out the effect, but Seiko Kamiya just wouldn't open his mouth.
As for her insinuations just now.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu is already familiar with this routine.
If you talk to me about money, I will talk to you about love.
If you talk to me about love, I will talk to you about money.
This is the truth summarized by Minamoto Norimitsu. The opposite effect will always make you invincible.
After hearing what he said, Seiko Kamiya was sitting there silently meditating. He felt strange as he watched Minamoto no Yorimitsu pushing the desserts on the coffee table several times.
She had no intention of eating.
Propping up his chin with his hands, Seiko Kamiya crossed his legs. His perfect leg shape made people want to play with it. He seemed to be wearing white socks under his trousers.
"Your fallacy is good, so is this your confidence that you can help your son escape from the Kamiya family's prison?"
Kamiya Aiko turned her head again, looked at the TV on the wall, and whispered to herself:
"As long as that kid wants to, and you brainwashed me, he might offer favors or make some deals in other ways, and he thinks he can succeed."
"Did your sister tell you this?"
Minamoto Yorimitsu narrowed his eyes and began to wonder whether Kamiya Aiko's nature was that of a big mouth.
"Of course not." Seiko Kamiya continued to watch the TV program intently and said, "When Chayin told Aiko, someone happened to hear it."
Listening to her understatement, Minamoto Yorimitsu knew that someone must be under surveillance. After nodding, he asked again: "How did your sister react?"
"It seemed like you were resisting. I don't know what excessive demands you made, but you seemed to agree in the end."
Seiko Kamiya was still watching TV, but her beautiful face sometimes frowned, and sometimes relaxed, and she even had a faint blush on her face. She didn't know why.
"So I can't do it?" Minamoto Yorimitsu asked.
"Don't think too highly of yourself."
Seiko Kamiya took a deep breath, and the blush on his face was even more obvious than before. He suddenly turned his head to look at Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and said with bright eyes:
"No matter how bad I am, as the eldest sister, I will not use my own sister as a bargaining chip. Besides, it is not the turn of two outsiders to draw conclusions about the Kamiya family's family affairs."
"Does that mean it's impossible?"
"My son's future will naturally be arranged by his father and me as the eldest sister, so I don't need you to worry about it anymore."
Didi didi!
A rapid electronic ringtone sounded.
This is the sound of the villa door.
Minamoto Yoriguang looked around and saw a familiar figure standing in front of the door of the villa with a bunch of things in his hands and several handbags.
At the same time, he also saw the visitor's face clearly.
"Royal medicine bag-san?" He was a little moved.
Seiko Kamiya also looked over, and his maroon pupils reflected a familiar figure with a graceful temperament.
She narrowed her slender eyes slightly.
Wearing a white down jacket and carrying a cold air, Chayin nodded her head and said, "Mr. Yuan."
"Didn't you return to Uji already?"
Minamoto norimitsu asked in surprise.
"My parents were not at home. They had gone on a trip to other places. When I got home, I found that they had come back with nothing to do. I happened to buy some mirror cakes and food."
Chayin, the royal medicine bag, lifted the thing in his hand.
Minamoto Noraimitsu glanced around and found that they were all New Year's Eve foods, but he didn't pay attention to them first. Instead, he looked at her for a moment and said, "Did you hear what I just said?"
"Hmm." Royal Medicine Bag Chayin nodded slightly.
"Since you heard it, you heard it." Before Minamoto Noraimitsu could speak, Seiko Kamiya turned his head and suddenly said: "You kid, don't worry too much."
If she followed her usual habits and Minamoto no Yorimitsu's understanding of the royal medicine bag tea sound, when facing such a powerful person, she would often act as a vase very smartly and express her attitude by remaining silent.
But this time, Oiyabukuro Chayin raised his eyes in a rare move and looked directly at Kamiya Seiko.
Perhaps she had touched the bottom line in her heart, or her delicate plan had been overturned. She rarely lost her usual retreat, and her eyes became extremely calm.
"That's not your concern."
She said this sentence very clearly.
This was unexpected by everyone present.
The eyes of Shengzi Shengzi suddenly turned deep, and he said meaningfully: "You have really grown up, Chayin."
