[Net King] fiance

It’s a holiday, and a group of children are playing on the lawn of the park. Across a gravel path, there is an open-air cafe. Young people in twos and threes are sitting under parasols. Some are playing with computers alone, and some are chatting together. staring at the sky.

Hosokawa Iori clasped the paper cup on the table with both hands, her eyes turned quietly, aiming at the belly of the woman beside her from time to time.

Mioi Tabe noticed her peeping, raised her voice and asked, "I-chan, what kind of eyes do you have?"

Hosokawa Iori lowered her eyelids, covering up her slightly subtle gaze, and said, "I just feel...a bit magical."

"It's nothing to make a fuss about." The red-haired woman looked calm, and looked at her friend with a smile and interest, "I-chan, you will also be pregnant and have a baby."

Hosokawa Iori felt a little embarrassed, and looked up at the sky speechlessly... Pregnancy or something is still too far away for her, she just graduated now, and she will be promoted to a graduate school in April to continue studying for a monk's degree.

"I'm serious," Tabe Mioi unconsciously caressed her belly with one hand, and said to her friend she had known for many years, "I-chan, you should also consider the issue of having a child."

Seeing the brilliance of motherhood emanating from his friend, Hosokawa Iori made a black line: "I'm still studying, it's too early to think about it..."

Mioi Tabe looked at her friend: "Are you really planning to get married in another five years?"

Hosokawa Iori nodded: "I have made an agreement with Senior Renji, the current focus is still on studies."

——Like her, Liu Lianer chose to continue her studies after receiving her bachelor's degree last year.It will take almost five years before she finishes her studies.She was 27 then, not too late to get married... maybe?

Mikui Tabe couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Senpai Liu, isn't he in a hurry?"

Hosokawa Iori asked: "What is there to worry about?" From her point of view, she is now living with Liu Lian-er, no different from those young couples. Marriage is just a formality. care.

"Aren't you looking forward to your wedding at all?" Tabe Mioi asked suspiciously.

Hosokawa Iori picked up the paper cup uncomfortably, lowered his head and took a sip of coffee.

A wedding...is an extremely important event for any woman, right?How could she not have expected it?However, from her point of view, she always felt that it would be safer to establish a career before starting a family.After all, if she gets married, as Mioi Tabe said, the issue of children will be on the agenda... To be honest, thinking about it makes her panic.

"When will your ceremony be held?" Hosokawa Iori asked, changing the subject.

"After the baby is born," the red-haired woman smiled sweetly when talking about the wedding and the baby. "The preparations for the wedding ceremony are too trivial and cumbersome. I'm not physically comfortable right now."

Seeing the other party's attitude of a little woman intoxicated in happiness, Hosokawa Iori couldn't help being speechless: she is a good friend, sometimes it is really surprising, and she always feels a bit ahead of her time when she is pregnant before marriage.

……

"I-chan, if you really don't want to get married early," while chatting, Mikui Tobe changed the subject and talked about her friends again, "Be careful in normal times. Don't be like me... suddenly having a child, All of a sudden, the original plan was disrupted."

Hosokawa Iori coughed lightly, this topic is too private, even with friends, it would be awkward to talk about it.

but……

Mioi Tabe's words really reminded her.

She belatedly remembered that many times, when she was doing something, she was so emotional that she forgot to take protective measures. Fortunately, those few times were safe periods—of course, this was all after the event Liu Lian'er told her that she herself rarely calculates those dates.

Looking at Mioi Tobe's protruding belly, Iori Hosokawa secretly warned herself in her heart that she must pay more attention to it in the future.

The two talked for a while, and a very burly man came over.

It is Mioi Tabe's boyfriend.

"I-chan, shall we go together?" Mioi Tabe was carefully lifted up by the man, turned to look at her friend, and asked.

Hosokawa Iori smiled: "No, Senior Lianji will come over later, I'll wait for him here."

This is an excuse.She was the only one returning to Kanagawa this time.The reason why she said that was because she didn't want to be a light bulb that would destroy the love between the couple!

Hosokawa Iori watched the back of a couple walking away together, feeling relieved for her friend's happiness, but also vaguely envious... Alas, in the past six months, her fiancé has been super busy every day. I didn't see anyone for three days.

In fact, Liu Lianji has been very busy since he entered the university. After he entered the graduate school, he didn't even have a vacation—of course it was not just for his studies. Hosokawa Iori knew in his heart what he was probably busy with. While I am very proud of my fiancé's hard work, I also occasionally worry a little bit, worrying that Liu Lianer will gradually neglect her.

——Of course, her worry was a bit superfluous, Liu Lian Er treated her impeccably well, she even felt that she was about to be spoiled by Liu Lian Er.

Hosokawa Iori supported her cheek with one hand, and slowly turned the paper cup with the other, basking in the early spring sun, silently reflecting on her wild thoughts, thinking about the man who was still in Tokyo, recalling the ordinary life of the two of them Drip, with a sweet smile inadvertently on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the phone's "Didi" notification sounded, bringing the woman in deep thought back to her senses.

After discovering that it was a letter from Liu Lian Er, Hosokawa Iori immediately opened the email: [Iori, something was left in your room, are you free to deliver it for me? ]

It's a holiday, and Hosokawa Iori is quite free these two days, so there is no doubt about it: [Okay.What is it, where is it in my room?where are you today ]

Soon, Liu Lian Er replied a text message.

After receiving the message, Hosokawa Iori immediately got up and went back to the Hosokawa residence. According to the instructions in Liu Lian'er's message, she found a paper bag about ten centimeters long and wide in the desk drawer of her room.The paper bag was sealed, and it was a bit small. She weighed it in her hand and touched it curiously. The thing inside seemed to be rectangular...a bit like a card case?

Guessing what was in the bag, Hosokawa Iori turned on the phone and checked the message again, there was an address written on it.

"Well, it's okay, I've been here before..."

Let's go now, and we'll be there in about an hour.

Worried that Liu Lian was in a hurry, she didn't delay any longer. After tidying up her clothes, she stuffed the paper bag into her backpack and left the house.

after an hour.

Hosokawa Iori came to the place Liu Lianer said, but didn't see anyone. When he was wondering and wanted to call the other party, he saw a new message on his phone.

[Opens bag. ]

"..." Hosokawa Iori was puzzled: "What is Lian Er senior doing, it's mysterious."

However, she still followed the other party's instructions, opened the paper bag, and was stunned.

It's a key case.

The woman who was aroused by curiosity opened the key bag, and besides a bunch of brand-new keys, there was a small card in the transparent interlayer.

On the card was Liu Lianer's handwriting:

"A return gift to Iori.

Liulian two. "

Hosokawa Iori suddenly remembered that today is White-Valentine's Day.

Therefore, Liu Lianer gave her this gift in return...

Bunch of keys?

After being dazed for a moment, she opened her eyes suddenly, hastily unlocked the phone, and read Liu Lianer's message again.

A few seconds later, she twisted her neck stiffly, and looked sideways at the house not far away... According to the naked eye, the area of ​​the house is not particularly large, but in this section of the land, it is not ordinary to have such a house Young people can afford it.

Hosokawa Iori stood there in a daze for a long time, not daring to confirm her guess.

but……

The message left by Liu Lian Er clearly told her such a fact.

After a long while, she stopped hesitating, crossed the boulevard, and stopped at the gate of the small courtyard with apprehension, mixed feelings of surprise or anticipation.

After struggling for half a minute, Hosokawa Iori finally picked up one of the keys - instructions were posted on each key - and inserted it into the keyhole of the courtyard door.

A "click" sounded.

It wasn't just the gate of this house that opened.

"Senior Lian Er, are you interested in decoration recently?"

"Ah, the family is going to renovate the house, and get some information about it."

"I think this set of plans is good..." After hearing what the man said, the woman also became interested, and leaned beside him to read the special issue of house decoration together.

The man did not comment on his fiancée's thoughts, but only asked: "Iori also likes those?"

"Well, this one looks good too... hey, I like this fireplace and this standing lamp..." the woman said with great interest.

Hosokawa Iori stood in front of the fireplace, looking sideways at the standing lamp in the corner where the decorative effect was greater than the practicality, and vaguely remembered the previous conversation.

——That was about a year ago, right?

After a moment of distraction, she left the fireplace, turned around, and walked forward for a distance. When she saw a string of gently swaying bead curtains, she couldn't help but stop.

Those words from the past rang in my ears.

"Isn't it beautiful to hang a crystal bead curtain here?"

"Iori doesn't think it's inconsistent with the overall style of the house?"

"But, it's romantic to hang the curtains..."

The man chuckled: "Childish."

"I just like shiny things, can't I?!"

"Then, let's change it here."

"Senior Lian Er, you are too powerful, so it seems natural."

"..."

"Like it?"

Being hugged from behind, Hosokawa Iori immediately came back to her senses - she was used to Liu Lianji's elusive appearance, she was not frightened at all by the other party's sudden appearance.

only……

"Senior Lian Er," she murmured, "Is this what you've been busy with?"

The man replied: "Ah."

Hosokawa Iori turned around, looked up at her fiancé's face, was moved, but even more distressed: "You don't have to work so hard."

"It's a bit hard." Liu Lian Er said frankly.

After hearing this, Hosokawa Iori felt her heart ache—thinking of how she occasionally slandered the other party’s busyness before, at this moment, she felt extremely ashamed—holding the man’s waist tightly with her hands, she buried her face in the other party’s body on the chest.

Liu Lian'er lowered her head, caressed her fiancée's cheek with one hand, raised her chin slightly, and looked at her: "Is Yizhi feeling distressed?"

Hosokawa Iori didn't want to hide her emotions anymore, and replied without hesitation: "Yes."

Then the man smiled softly: "Then, shouldn't we show some performance?"

"Performance?" I was puzzled for a moment.

Liu Lian'er said calmly: "For example, marry Liu Lian'er."

Hosokawa Iori was taken aback for a moment, then slowly turned her face away, and after a while, said in a low voice, "Okay."

Her straightforwardness made Liu Lian Er startled: "Yizhi?"

Then the woman suddenly smiled, her tone was lively and playful: "For a man as outstanding and capable as Senior Lian Er, if Hosokawa Iori doesn't hurry up, if someone else snatches her away... at that time, I will regret it." Too late."

——Since the other party wanted to get married, why didn't she agree?They are in love, aren't they?

Liu Lian Er raised the corners of her lips, kissed her fiancée on the forehead, and whispered softly: "Then, Yi Zhi must hold on tight."

Hosokawa Iori closed her eyes unconsciously, and replied softly, "Yes."

She will hold on tight and never let go.

half year later.

After a long and tedious preparation, the wedding ceremony of Hosokawa Iori and Yanagi Renji was finally held in early August.

Before the gods, the bride and groom solemnly made an oath.

Hosokawa Iori, who was dressed in "White Wugou", held out her hand to the man in front of her.

"Don't worry," Liu Lian Er softly comforted the other party, sensing the nervousness of the other party, "Relax."

For a moment, Hosokawa Iori felt as if she had returned to the engagement ceremony between her and him six years ago.

Everything is so similar yet completely different.

In the spring six years ago, Liu Lian'er became her fiancé.

And from this summer, Liu Lian Er is her husband.

The author has something to say: I got stuck in the last chapter, tears in my eyes, my tidy update time, crazy!

It's over, there is another chapter after the marriage.

☆、Extra chapter

[[-]] after marriage

A clear sunny day.

Hosokawa Iori—oh, she should be called Liu Yizhi now, who took her husband’s surname after marriage—used the spare time on weekends to pack up the winter clothes for the two of them. The weather is getting warmer, and some thick clothes are temporarily unusable , but before stacking and storing, it still needs to be washed and dried again.

Picking up the overcoat that Liu Lian'er had just changed, Yizhi searched the pockets habitually, and actually found something in the inner pocket, took it out to look, and was slightly taken aback.

A little old peace charm.

It took a few seconds for her to remember that this talisman was her first birthday present to Liu Lian Er.

It was seven years ago, and the beads hanging on the auspicious knot had lost a little luster, and a corner of the fabric was slightly worn, revealing the talisman paper inside.

Holding the peace talisman in his palm, Yizhi vaguely recalled the June [-]th of that year.

"I'll always have it with me."

——That's what Liu Lian-er said at the time.

She didn't pay much attention to what the other party said, she was just happy that she made a gift for her fiancé with her own hands.

After that, she gave Liu Lian-er many gifts: In winter, Liu Lian-er always wore the scarf and gloves she wove; notebook and so on...

I haven't made peace talismans by myself, and usually buy them ready-made directly at shrines and temples.

Unexpectedly, Liu Lian Er was still carrying such an inconspicuous thing, probably in a hidden inner pocket, and she never noticed it.

……

Rubbing the Chinese character "Lian" on the peace talisman with her fingers, Iori couldn't help but smile.

Liu Lian Er, her husband, can always touch her heart with some inadvertent little things, making her sink in his tenderness, and can no longer extricate herself.

As soon as Liu Lian'er entered the house, he saw his wife greeted him with a smile, greeted her sweetly, and threw herself into his arms.Unsurprisingly, his arms spread out naturally, and he embraced the woman who was obviously in a good mood: "What's wrong?"

Yizhi rubbed her face against the man's chest, and said briskly, "I'm just happy."

Hearing this, the man put his chin against the woman's hair and asked softly, "What's the fun?"

"Hmm..." The woman dragged her voice, left her husband's embrace, raised her head and smiled at him, and said mysteriously, "Stretch your hand over."

Liu Lian'er looked at his wife with a funny face, not intending to spoil her interest, and stretched out her hand cooperatively.

Seeing Yizhi let go of his tightly clenched hands, he put something in his palm.

It is a brand new peace talisman.

"Your peace talisman is broken, I sewed it again." It was not a new one, but the original peace talisman was sewn inside.

After so many years, Iori's handwork has still made considerable progress.

Liu Lian'er put the amulet in her pocket naturally, then hugged the woman and smiled lightly, "You've been busy doing this today?"

Being asked such a question, Yizhi suddenly came to his senses and let out a soft cry: "Oh, I packed my clothes and forgot to wash them!"

Some clothes can be solved in the washing machine, but a few must be washed by hand.

Liu Lian'er pulled his wife who was about to leave, and frowned in a rare way: "I'll do the laundry."

"Huh?" Iori was at a loss for the man's cautious attitude.

"Be careful recently, try to avoid getting in cold water."

"Why?"

Liu Lian Er was helpless, and held his wife's face in one hand: "When is your menstrual period?"

Iori thought for a while—don't blame her for being confused, she usually only writes down the date roughly, after all, the menstrual cycle cannot be exactly 30 days, and it is normal to come early or late a day or two occasionally.

"...It seems like it's almost ten days late this time?" The woman said hesitantly.

"Go to the hospital for an examination in a few days."

Dazed for a moment, Yizhi suddenly understood what the man meant, and immediately became nervous: "Lian Er, you, you mean..."

"Ah." Liu Lian'er smiled faintly, "Izhi may become a mother."

"..."

Like being struck by lightning, it is appropriate to describe a woman's mood at the moment.

"Iori?"

Yizhi clutched the corner of the man's clothes and asked nervously, "Why so fast?"

Although she had been mentally prepared for pregnancy since she got married last summer, she was still very panicked when it happened!

Liu Lian'er lowered her head, and kissed his wife lightly on the face, alleviating the woman's fear: "Don't worry, it's not sure yet..."

"If it is true," Iori was still worried, "it should be detected by pregnancy test strips now, right?"

"Go to the hospital." The man said, "Don't be afraid, I will accompany you."

The back was being rubbed soothingly by a powerful palm, the woman recovered from the panic at the beginning, and gradually calmed down: "Yeah."

Although panic, but also some expectations!Since the beginning of this year, when the two tacitly did not take any protective measures, shouldn't she have expected this day to come?

In mid-spring, the light of the setting sun is wonderful.

On the boulevard, a young couple is walking.

The woman was wearing loose clothing, with a soft and happy smile on her slightly rounded face.Beside her, the brown-haired young man held her waist with one arm, and his behavior was completely cautious and protective.

"Lian Er, the baby said, I want to eat red bean and black rice porridge tonight."

There was an obvious smile in the man's mellow and deep voice: "What else?"

"and also……"

The evening wind blew, and the voices of the two people drifted away.

[two] little red

On the wooden floor of the corridor, the woman and the boy sat facing each other across the chessboard.

The woman's hand holding a sunspot hangs over the chess board, and it hasn't dropped for a long time.Seeing the woman's frowning expression, the brown-haired boy calmly said, "You're about to lose."

The woman refused: "Heizi still has a way out."

"With your chess strength, continuing this game is just a waste of time."

Yi Zhi Hei Xian: "Xiaohong, how dare you despise mother!"

"Little Red", the full name is Liu Nanhong.

It is said that during the period before his birth, his mother was obsessed with agate, and the favorite was Nanhong agate.So she named her son Nanhong.

As a child who was ignorant, Liu Nanhong just took it for granted that his elders called him "Xiaohong" affectionately.

When he learned to read and study, especially after entering kindergarten, because of this name and his "little hair" hairstyle, he was often regarded as a girl by others, and he naturally became more and more unhappy.

He wanted to change his name, but he couldn't explain it directly to his parents, so he decided to save the country. He privately found his grandparents who were kind and doted on him.

did not expect……

After thinking about it for a while, his grandfather told him that Nanhong is Chinese red jade, reserved and calm, expensive but not extravagant, with a gentle and peaceful temperament, which means good and auspicious, and carries the expectations and blessings of his parents for him.

It seems he has to thank his mother for not naming him Onyx outright.

Liu Nanhong thought silently in her heart.

According to my grandmother, an ink painter she likes is also called Nanhong. This name sounds nice, so don't change it.

Yes, Okamura Nanhong, once served as the executive director of the North and South Ink Painting Association and a member of the National Association for the Promotion of Painting and Calligraphy.But, this is a lady.

——After experiencing this futile struggle, Liu Nanhong finally gave up the idea of ​​changing her name and tried to adjust her mentality, but she became more and more calm. Hearing the younger brothers and sisters of those uncles and uncles say "Brother Xiaohong", He was also able to answer calmly and calmly.

"I'm just stating the facts." The boy who was called "Xiaohong" replied without changing his expression.

Yizhi is silent - her son's calm demeanor and nondescript tone of voice are more and more like a certain man - she really should have another daughter, not to say that the daughter is the mother's caring little girl Padded jacket? !

At this time, the courtyard door was opened.

Immediately, Yizhi's eyes lit up: This game of chess seems to be salvageable.

Different from the woman's happy expression, the expression on the face of the little boy who had always been calm began to collapse.

"Lian Er..."

Seeing his wife who was actively welcoming her, Liu Lian Er glanced at the corridor, then slightly hooked her mouth: "Are you playing chess?"

"Well, I accidentally misplaced a piece just now, otherwise I might have won..."

Liu Nanhong listened to her mother's words in silence.

During the conversation, Liu Lian-er came to the side of the chess game and pointed out quietly: "No. 15 has eight rows, broken."

Iori did not hesitate to follow the man's words and let the sunspots fall.

Using the big to suppress the small, or two to one, this is too bullying... The little boy took a peek at the man who supported his mother, and finally swallowed the words that wanted to resist.

The "big devil" rank is too high, he has no solution for the time being, so he can only be honest!

——Oh, the title of "Great Demon King" was shared with him by Uncle Kirihara.He feels very vivid.

Speaking of it, as a father, Liu Lian Er is not a kind and kind father, but he is not a strict and authoritarian patriarch either.However, for Liu Nanhong, who is not yet eight years old, his father's aura is too terrifying. In front of the other party, it is difficult for him to hide his awe, and he does not dare to slack off at all.

However, thinking of the fact that Uncle Kirihara has been clamoring for more than ten years and failed to defeat the Great Demon King, he is also relieved.

After Liu Lianer's guidance, Heizi regained the situation step by step.

"I...admit defeat." Bai Zi had nowhere to go, counting his eyes, he lost half of his eyes, and the little boy had to surrender.

Iori laughed immediately, and said happily: "Sure enough, Lianji is the most powerful."

Liu Lianer nodded slightly, and handed the handbag to his wife: "Yizhi, take it to the study for me."

"Yeah." Looking back and forth between the man and the little boy, Yizhi knew that Liu Lianer would probably start educating her son again, so she didn't plan to intervene, got up, took the bag, and went into the house.

After the woman left, Liu Nanhong stood up and respectfully called her father.

Liu Lian Er came to Yi Zhi's original position and looked at the little boy indifferently: "Sit down."

"Hi!"

……

After Iori took her husband's handbag to the study, she checked the time and found that it was still a bit early for dinner, so she picked up the book she hadn't finished before and continued to read.

Just after reading a chapter, the door of the study was opened.

Yizhi raised her head subconsciously, smiled at her husband, and said, "Have you finished talking with Xiaohong?"

"Ah." Responding to this, the man came to the tatami and sat down with his arms around the woman's shoulders.

Putting down the book in his hand, Yizhi leaned on her husband's chest and said softly: "Don't be too strict with Xiaohong, every time he faces you, it's like a mouse seeing a cat."

Leaning close to the woman's side neck and sniffing lightly, Liu Lian-er asked with a smile: "Mice and cats? What is Iori?"

Yizhi was stunned, and then understood her husband's meaning, her cheeks were slightly red - even though she was over thirty years old, she still retained a little girlish coquettishness in front of this man - she couldn't help but angrily said: "I'm here Speaking of things, can you be more serious?"

"I'm doing serious things..." the man whispered vaguely while biting the woman's ear.

Yizhi completely limp in her husband's embrace, protesting weakly: "Now...um...it's still daytime...Xiaohong is still at home."

"He won't bother us." Liu Lian'er replied leisurely, her hands moving non-stop.

"just in case……"

The man's mouth blocked the woman's words: "Don't worry, the sound insulation effect of the study is perfect." After a word of comfort, he asked coaxingly, "Doesn't Yizhi want a daughter?"

"Huh?" Yizhi came to her senses, opened her eyes in surprise, and asked hastily, "But you're not...uh..." Her husband didn't give her a chance to say a complete sentence at all.

In the corridor downstairs, the little boy was sitting upright, seriously studying the chess record of the previous game.

For the sudden disappearance of his parents, he didn't find it strange at all. He didn't need to think about it. It was 99% likely that his parents were making his younger brother or sister again.

In this regard, he expressed his expectation.

He was the only child in the family, so it was still a bit deserted.Although his mother often plays small games with him, but... his mother's level is too low, he can win very easily, and then his mother will ask the big devil for help, the big devil is too powerful, he is always hit hard Mess.

Alas, with such parents, Liu Nanhong said that he felt a little tired.

So there is an urgent need for a younger brother or younger sister to heal the soul.

He prefers a younger brother, so that the two brothers may join forces to fight against the Great Demon King.If it is a younger sister, I heard that my younger sister is like a mother, so I feel easily bullied, but as an older brother, he will protect my younger sister.Thinking of the little sister of the Yukimura family, he felt that it would be nice to have a younger sister.

but……

He seems to be thinking too much.

According to his grandmother, when his mother gave birth to him, his mother was in a dangerous situation, which frightened his father—he couldn’t imagine how frightened the big devil was—he didn’t know exactly what was going on, but the result was, Although my mother still wanted to have a younger sister, my father never allowed it.

In another month, he will be eight years old, no matter whether he is a brother or a sister, there is no shadow at all.

Ah, I accidentally lost my mind...

The little girl Liu Nanhong straightened her expression, and immediately restrained her divergent thinking.

Uncle Sanada is right, he is still too slack!

The author has something to say: Yanagi Nanko (Yanagi Nanko), racked his brains to choose a name. I wonder if the little girl Liu Nanko felt the author's deep love for him (bad taste)?

☆、Chapter Two

When Liu Lianer was walking on the street and was called "sister" by a girl blocking the way, he didn't feel much dissatisfaction with being offended. On the one hand, his ability to control emotions has always been very good, and he would not worry about insignificant things , On the other hand, the other party obviously did not mean to offend him, or the way he sees people is questionable.

Another point……

This girl was not a complete stranger to him, even though this was the first time they had met since he could remember.

After the New Year, the tennis club had a week-long sleepover. When he came back from the sleepover, he heard his mother talking about his close friends in the past. It's the same, the other family moved back to Kanagawa from Hokkaido, and when he was not at home, the mother and daughter of the Hosokawa family visited him.

Mama Liu mentioned that the daughter of the Hosokawa family had a verbal marriage contract with him in a joking and pretending regretful tone.

He understands his mother's occasional fun, so he doesn't take the marriage contract seriously, but thanks to his good memory and intelligence gathering instinct, he can easily remember some things his mother said about the girl. He was pulled by his mother to glance at the picture of the girl.

The girl in the photo has beautiful facial features that have not yet opened. She is not tall and has a small body, with a little baby fat on her cheeks. Overall, she looks exquisite and cute.

Well-behaved, docile, and well-behaved, this is the first impression she gave him.Such a person will not stand out too much, but it is not easy to make people feel bad.

In the next month or so, Mama Liu visited Liu's house a few more times, and Liu Lian-er was also at home once, but the daughter of the Hosokawa family never came again.

I heard that the girl is preparing to take the Lihai University entrance examination.He was also repeatedly told by his mother to take care of her at school in the future. It is said that the girl was introverted, and her mother was a little worried that the girl who had just returned to Kanagawa would not adapt to the new environment.

In fact, since he is the daughter of his mother's old friend, even if he is not specifically instructed, he will take the initiative to pay attention to it.

Not knowing whether to call it a coincidence, Liu Lian-er paid a special visit to Hosokawa's house according to her mother's request, but still did not meet the girl who was said to be married to him.According to Hosokawa's mother, girls usually don't like to go out, because after the exam, they want to relax their tense spirit so that they can go out for fun that day.

There is no particular regret or disappointment. Liu Lianer is not a person who is too curious. He likes or is used to collecting all data. It is not because of the novelty of unknown personnel, but because of the influence of his father's occupation. Data and information are particularly sensitive. Later, in order to learn tennis better, under the guidance of Akuto Mitsutani, I learned to apply this knowledge to tennis moves, and then slowly extended the habits on the court to my daily life.

This kind of unremitting exploration of intelligence is not out of curiosity, but more from the control of pure reason. For data madness and planning control, he will try his best to avoid all factors outside his control.

Measuring data is never everything, though.Just like, meeting Hosokawa Iori on the street—at this time, Liu Lianer already knew her name—according to his theory, it was obviously a small probability event.

Hosokawa Iori didn't know him.He didn't have any extra words, or the urge to get to know the daughter of his mother's old friend. After dutifully pointing out the route for the other party, he left first.

When he was passing a hair salon, he suddenly remembered the incident of being misidentified by a girl as a gender. After a little thought, he changed his original plan and stepped into the hair salon instead, asking the barber to trim off the hair that he was used to since he was a child. Keep the hairstyle.

A few days later, it was the day when Lihai University started school.

Liu Lianji, who always remembered her mother's instructions, soon caught the figure of Hosokawa Iori among a group of freshmen.With his behavior, even if his mother asked him to "take care of his sister", he would never rush to make friends without the other party knowing him.

There was no need to do anything, as long as he followed his principles and kept an eye on the girl—the intelligence information collected was enough for him to know her situation in school.As long as the other party can adapt to the new environment smoothly and will not encounter bullying, he will be considered to have completed the task his mother entrusted to him. As for more extra care, as he is the main candidate for the tennis club, it may cause some criticism, which is not good for him. The other party integrates into the campus.

As time goes by day by day, even though the two of them seldom get along face to face alone, Liu Renji seems to have a general grasp of every aspect of Hosokawa Iori.
