Chapter 21: He's Really Back
Outside the house, Megumi gently closed the wooden door, lowered her head, nodded her toes and walked towards the red-haired girl, and said softly, "Miss, it's time for you to rest." ”
The girl didn't say a word, just sat there quietly. The room was very warm, the heating in the corner emitted a faint red light, the wind outside the window blew, making a "woo" sound, Megumi bent over, seeing that the other party had not replied for a long time, she secretly raised her head to take a look.
The girl sat kneeling at the table, her long bright red hair scattered on the tatami mats, and on one side were neatly arranged clogs, her back to Emi and her expression could not be seen clearly in the dimness.
"Miss?" said Emi tentatively again.
"Hmm. The girl replied lightly.
"It's time for you to rest, you haven't rested for a day and a night since you came out of the conference room yesterday. ”
"Is it a day...... Yo, how is she?"
"Lord Fengwei is still in a coma, but the eldest patriarch said that there is no big problem, and it is only a matter of time before he wakes up. Emi reported.
The girl got up, her long hair scattered with her, she turned her head slightly, and asked, "Where is she now?"
"Tokyo headquarters, the shrine where I left in the afternoon. ”
"You'll be okay later, will you?" the girl turned around and took the black kimono on her body, which she rarely wore on a regular basis. "Let's go see her. ”
"But you should rest!"
"If you don't want to go, go and call Nanako. The girl put on her clogs and walked out the door without looking back.
"No, miss, that's not what I meant......"
The girl stopped at the door, did not turn her head, and said, "If you want to rest, you should have rested five years ago, not for a few days." After saying that, the cold wind poured in, and he pushed the door out.
Emi hurriedly chased after her, shouting aggrievedly: "But, yes...... Then you should wear more of it!" Looking at the back of the indifferent departure, she sighed secretly, except for the relationship between superiors and subordinates, she can be regarded as half a sister of the girl, since the Nine-Tails Guishun and the Usami family, she and Nanako are the same age as the girl, so they not only play the role of guards, but also the girl's playmates, so they naturally have to take care of each other in life.
It's not the first time this kind of situation, but they can also understand, after all, born in such a family with no feelings and no affection, anyone will become such a "three-five girl", although the eldest lady has a cold temperament, but she has always been very good, but since she left Japan, she went to school in China for three years, and when she came back, it was like a different person, harder, harder, such a change is good, but everyone can see that Miss She is just holding on.
Rather than being a hard brace, it would be more accurate to use the word "gambling". It's like the girl said: to rest, you should have taken a break five years ago. She had been angry with the man for five years, and if the two never saw each other, maybe she would continue like this forever.
......
......
On a snowy night, Emi holds an umbrella for the girl, and the girl's red hair stands out in the snow.
At this moment, a black Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped in front of the two, the door was open, the delicate leather shoes stepped on the rain and snow without hesitation, the young man held a black umbrella, the black umbrella was open, and the snowflakes bloomed in all directions.
"Good evening, Miss Yukihime, Miss Emmi. The young man smiled.
Emi frowned slightly, and when the other party hadn't gotten out of the car, she recognized the identity of the young man, the temporary head of the Shuiyue family, Shuiyue Wu. As one of the [Nine-Tails], Megumi's status is definitely not lower than that of any head of the family, but the eldest lady is beside her, and Megumi naturally has to be a little more restrained.
"Good evening, Master Suigetsu, where are you going so late?" asked Emi .
Shui Yuewu said: "Go to the headquarters and visit Lord You." ”
Such a coincidence? Emi was puzzled, and just wanted to say a casual word to prevaricate, when she heard the girl on the side whisper, "We're going to see you too." ”
"Hehe, such a coincidence, if you don't dislike it, take my car. ”
"Then thank you to the Water Moon Family Master. ”
In this way, Emi with questions, followed the two to the Mercedes-Benz. The heating in the car was turned on sufficiently, and Megumi and the girl sat in the back while driving on the fifth day of the water moon, and it was very quiet along the way.
Shui Yuewu was the first to break the silence and asked, "What does Miss Yukihime think of my speech at the meeting yesterday?"
This question was a little sudden, and the car was quiet for a while, and then I heard the girl reply: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention at the time, I don't know what you said." ”
Well, the atmosphere was suddenly awkward, and Emi on the side was also snickering in her heart.
Shui Yuewu acted as if nothing had happened, and smiled: "That's really a pity." He asked again, "Won't Miss ask me why I went to see Miss You?"
"Why should I ask?"
One is the head and tail of [Nine Tails], the pillar of the family, a person who can be on an equal footing with the eldest patriarch, and the other is just a head of the family with a small surname, and it is temporary, it is almost impossible for the two to intersect on weekdays, but suddenly Shui Yuewu wants to visit You, which is obviously a very suspicious thing, but the girl said why ask. As soon as these words came out, even Emi beside her was surprised.
"Hehe, it's me who is too talkative, you really don't need to ask, I just want to talk to you and ease the atmosphere. ”
"Don't talk about easing the atmosphere, since I'm in your car, I naturally won't ask what you're going to do, Master Shuiyue, you know what I want to ask. The girl's voice was cold.
Shui Yuewu was silent for a moment, and then said, "You want to ask about the head of the Hasegawa family." ”
"On December 20th, you and your uncle suddenly met, and you had no contact before that; on January 7th, your uncle asked you to go to Disneyland, I don't know what you were doing; on January 9th, that is, the day before yesterday, the former head of the Shuiyue family was killed by an intruder, and you, without any foreshadowing, became the temporary head of the Shuiyue family. ”
"What the hell is Miss Yukihime going to say?"
"I just want to say, I don't want to know your purpose, but could you please tell me who you are seeing on January 7th?"
Shui Yuewu smiled, he held the steering wheel with one hand, looked at the rearview mirror above, there were two girls in the mirror, one looked cold, the other looked indifferent, he said: "It seems that you are too worried, I am just a member of the Shui Yue family, as for why I know the head of the Hasegawa family, I remember that day he was on a family mission, but he met Deadpool during the mission, and I happened to save him there." Jomoto-kun is a friendly man, and after that day, he invited a lot of wine. ”
"There is also why I became the temporary head of the family, at the time of the accident, I and the former head of the family felt the scene for the first time, suddenly encountered an intruder, the former head of the family was killed, and I was rescued by Miss You, which is why I went to visit Miss You today. ”
The two fell silent, only the whirring wind in the car, and the girl continued: "So the head of the Shuiyue family is not going to say it?"
"Of course not, Miss Xue Ji is the future patriarch, since you asked, I, as the temporary head of the family, must be obliged to answer. That day, the head of the Hasegawa family did ask me to go to Disneyland to meet two people, a young couple, the girl was named Lin Youyou, and the man was named Zhang Fan. ”
Speaking of this, the girl subconsciously sat up and asked, "What did you want to do to meet them?"
"I just told them to leave Japan, but without saying a few words, I met the thugs in the family, and the boy was punched away by the thugs, and after that, we didn't see each other. ”
"Did you see him killed?"
"The pool of marble was shattered, and I was standing next to him, blood soaking my shoes. ”
When the girl heard this, she lowered her head as if she was in thought, and after a moment, leaned back in her chair.
Seeing this, Shui Yuewu asked, "It seems that this person is very important to you." ”
"Well, it's important. The girl replied.
After a long time, Shui Yuewu suddenly said: "Miss Yukihime, although I don't know if that boy is the person you are looking for, I have heard the head of the Hasegawa family call him - "Zejun". ”
Outside the car was goose feathers and heavy snow, but inside the car was as warm as spring, and the car sped through the snow and gradually disappeared at the end of the road.
......
......
Tokyo, Japan, Usami family headquarters.
The 50-story high-rise building was brightly lit, and Mercedes drove into the underground garage, and under the guidance of the security guard, the three of them took the elevator to the 32nd floor. The elevator opened, and there were countless iron shelves in sight, with documents placed on the iron shelves, like a library, and the three of them walked inside, the inside was completely different from the outside, the hall with a sense of white technology, under the leadership of two men in black suits, several people finally met You.
It's a ward, similar to the ICU in a hospital, but without that much cumbersome testing equipment, just a bed covered with white sheets, lying quietly on it.
"You go first, I'll wait outside. Emi said suddenly.
"Okay, I'll be quick. ”
After Shui Yuewu finished speaking, he didn't ask "why don't we go in together" or anything like that, he pushed the door and entered the ward, the temperature in the ward was adjusted to perfection, the woman who was once known as the invincible woman in Japan was lying quietly on the bed at this time, Shui Yuewu sat next to the hospital bed and said softly: "Thank you very much, Miss Yu, I hope you can wake up as soon as possible." ”
Meanwhile, in the hallway, Megumi was standing there, and the red-haired girl was sitting on a chair, looking a little absent-minded.
Emi was a little worried and asked, "Don't worry, I'll confirm his identity later." ”
Not only did he get the identity of the teenager from Mizukigo, but he even told them the address, which was the Hasegawa family's mansion in Shinjuku, and Mizukigo seemed to be really a loyal head of the family, who did not hesitate to "betray" his friends and dragged everything out.
After a while, seeing that the girl was still like that, Emi reminded, "Miss, Miss!"
The girl's pupils contracted, and she suddenly came back to her senses, looked at Emi in front of her, pursed her lips, and said nothing after all.
It had been ten minutes since Shui Yuewu appeared in the corridor, and when the three of them parted, the girl pushed the door and walked into the ward, Emi didn't go in, she was still standing outside the door.
In the ward, the girl sat where Shui Yuewu was sitting just now, looking at the woman on the bed, just like that, and looking at it for a long time.
"Wake up, he, he's really back......," the girl said suddenly, crying.
The curtains fluttered without wind, the moonlight broke through the snow mist and shone into the ward, and the girl had tears on her face and a stiff smile.
