Hanze Naoyoshi sighed.
"This thing is too valuable, I can't accept it."
Yuigahama Yui was stunned. The hand that was about to put clothes on Hanzawa Naoyi froze in mid-air, with a weak look on her face, and tears seemed to be already welling up in her eyes.
Hanzawa Naoyi had a headache. She was a soft-spoken person, and she couldn't stand the stubborn temperament of Yuigahama Yui.
"I really can't accept it!"
Yuigahama Yui pursed her lips.
"Why? Is there something I didn't do well enough?"
Hanzawa Naoyi quickly shook his head.
"No, I am very grateful for the care you have taken for me this year.
But this winter coat is too expensive. I cannot accept such a gift. Please forgive me, Yuigahama-hime."
Yuigahama Yui put down her hands dejectedly and sighed.
"I thought we were already friends, so we didn't have to worry about it so carefully."
Hanzawa Naoyoshi smiled.
"Of course we are friends, but even if we are friends, such a gift is too luxurious.
You have been very kind to me. Look at the newly-pasted paper door, the high-quality charcoal in the brazier, and there is no choking smoke at all.
I have received many favors from you, and I can no longer take your things."
Yuigahama Yui forced a smile.
"Actually, you helped me more. If you hadn't been by my side, I really don't know how I would have gotten through this year.
My health has not been good since I gave birth to Xiaotuanzi, and I have been delayed in all the work I should do. I am really ashamed of myself."
Hanzawa Naoyoshi smiled.
"Because of this, I can live in your house with peace of mind, eat your food and drink your food. We are called helping each other, and our relationship is clear."
Yuigahama lowered his head and said dejectedly.
"But I don't want to be separated from you, I already regard you as my best friend.
You know me, I have no abilities, people outside look down on me, and no one wants to get close to me.
I am really grateful to you for helping me sincerely and without asking for anything in return. You and I are honest with each other. I have regarded you as my best friend in this life."
Hanzawa Naoyi paused for a moment, his face became softer, and he said.
"Of course we are best friends."
Yuigahama Yui pouted.
"In this case, you are still clearly distinguishing from me, how can you be considered your best friend?"
Hanzawa Naoyi reluctantly picked up the winter coat and put it on himself to try out the length and fit.
"Okay, okay, I'll just take it. Anyway, you are a rich man and you don't lack this little money. I'll just treat it as robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
Yuigahama chuckled.
"What kind of rich man would you say to me when you take my winter coat? Really...how is it? Does it fit?"
Hansawa Naoyoshi put on the winter coat, and it fit him perfectly. It could be seen that this winter coat was indeed customized by Yui Ubihama according to his figure carefully, which made his heart warmer.
Although Yuigahama Yui is weak, she has a good nature and treats people sincerely. She lacks friends because of her weakness, and regards Hanzawa Naoyoshi as a close friend.
What about Hanzawa Naoyi? He is upright and unwilling to mix with the world. He is also an alien in the eyes of outsiders. Naturally, he has few friends.
This is the reason why Hanzawa Naoyoshi is willing to get close to Yuigahama Yui. Both of them are in a state where I have very few friends, so I will naturally cherish them more if I make true friends.
Hanzawa Naoyi bent his arms and smiled.
"It fits very well, thank you.
By the way, have you understood the form I left for you? While I'm still here these days, if you have anything you don't understand, ask immediately so I can explain it to you."
Yuigahama Yui nodded.
"I figured it out a long time ago. You taught me step by step so many times. I'm not really stupid.
Besides, even if there is something you don’t understand, just put it aside for now and it won’t be too late to ask you again when you come back.”
After Hanzawa Naoyi finished trying it on, he paused while taking off his winter clothes and said.
"When I leave, it can take anywhere from a year and a half to two or three years. How long are you going to put it aside? Besides, what if... I can't come back this time?"
Yuigahama Yui's smile froze, looking at Hanzawa Naoyi who was speechless for a while, and then murmured a question after a while.
"Is it dangerous for you to go this time? But I remember that the saint sent you to do things... Who in the land of Kanto dares to disobey the saint and kill you?"
Hanzawa Naoyoshi sighed.
"We are friends, I don't want to lie to you.
The sage's orders are just appearances, Ii Naomasa-sama has another important task entrusted to me, so I will take some risks and offend some people."
Yuigahama Yui asked again quietly.
"So you will be assassinated?"
Hanzawa Naoyoshi smiled.
"After all, I was sent to Guandong by a saint. Who dares to assassinate me?
It's just that most of those people are powerful, and the saint will also find it difficult to balance the situation.
I am just a little person. If the big guys really want to harm me, they can crush me to death with just one finger.
I'm just afraid that in the end, after everything I want to do is done, my life will be in danger because of the sin of disobedience."
Yuigahama Yui was silent for a while, then took a deep breath.
"Yes, when a saint sits on that high position, many things are actually very difficult for him."
Hansawa Naoyoshi glanced at Yuigahama Yui, and felt that her tone was a little less respectful, a little more melancholy, and even a little bit pampering.
Do you care for the saint? Just because of this bully in front of you who just admits his mistake and sheds tears when he is bullied?
Hanzawa Naoyoshi couldn't help but be amused by his own association. Yuigahama glanced at her curiously and asked.
"What's wrong?"
Hanzawa Naoyoshi shook his head.
"It's nothing. I just feel that you are close to the saint. You are worthy of being the first generation of Tongxinzhong. Your background is so strong that a retainer like me, who is new to Sibo's establishment, would envy you."
Hanzawa Naoyoshi made a casual joke, the speaker was unintentional, but Yuigahama Yui was the listener with heart. She couldn't help but blush on her face and looked at the little dumpling rolling around in boredom.
Because her biological mother and godmother were chatting, neither of them paid attention to her. The child was losing his temper and kept rolling around trying to attract the attention of the two elders.
Seeing Yuigahama Yui's eyes finally turning to him, Xiaotuanzi seemed to have succeeded and was so happy that he clapped his hands and wanted to hug her.
Yuigahama Yui picked up the child with a doting look on her face, sat down opposite Naoyoshi Hanzawa, and remained silent.
Hanzawa Naoyi thought that the saint looked at him differently because he was from the same group of people and had that kind of kindness and old love.
But Yuigahama Yui knew in her heart that the reason why the saint favored her so much was actually the little dumpling in her arms.
To be honest, Yuigahama Yui was still in a daze until now.
Back then, she had sex after drinking, and she obviously did something wrong, but for some reason, the saint not only didn't punish her, but he was so tolerant and kind to her.
How did Yuigahama Yui know that she had done nothing wrong back then, and that there was someone else who had sex after drinking, that sanctimonious saint?
Because of the halo of special effects in her career, Yuigahama Yui's consciousness was distorted, thinking that she had done something to the saint, but in fact it was the saint who did something to her that night.
Afterwards, Yuigahama Yui's cowardice, fear, and grievance were all noticed by Shiba Yoshigan.
How could that man with a patriarchal outlook not feel guilty in his heart? How could he allow his wife and children to be bullied by outsiders?
Therefore, Ishida Mitsunari's small report caused a big explosion. After knowing that he still had a child in the world, Shiba Yoshigan did not hesitate to give Ishida Mitsunari a good beating.
Yuigahama Yui is different from other women in Shiba Yoshigan. She has no ability and a weak temper. She is more similar to the girl in Yoshigan's previous life, but she is a little too beautiful.
The other daughters have tigress-like mothers who help them out, and the reputation of the family is intimidating, who dares to bully them?
