Chapter 10: Night Encounters
Late at night, in the room, Mo thought back to the passage of the day, holding the folding fan and tapping the palm of his hand for a while.
During the day, after arranging the guest room, someone came to the door to invite him to a banquet, and of course he had no choice. Then he soon discovered that the annex he was in was actually far away from the main mansion of Saigyoji.
It's almost like arranging your home to be located away from people. Mo, who was walking on the way to the banquet, glanced around the situation on the road, and soon found some intriguing things revealed in it.
Then at the banquet, Mo was pulled to meet the important people of the Xixing Temple family. It is just human nature to talk to each other.
But the strange thing is that the other protagonist who was supposed to be the other protagonist of this banquet, the eldest lady of the Saiyuji family who made a marriage contract with him, did not show up from beginning to end.
Combined with the strangeness of the initial greeting, to the attitudes of the people of the Saiyuki temple family afterwards, Mo slowly closed his eyes.
Inexplicable sense of combing, far away from the crowded courtyard, never showing up, and even everyone seems to be unwilling to talk about it, consciously or unconsciously......
Not waiting to see you? Contradictory? Or something else......
Oh, although I don't understand the specific reason. But this eldest lady of the Xixing Temple family, who has never met before, feels a little similar to herself......
Thinking of his current situation in Usami's house, compared with the other party's situation, Mo was a little curious, what caused the other party's current wonderful situation?
Shaking his head, Mo dispelled these thoughts. It's useless to sit here and think about it now, and I haven't even seen each other's faces now. I don't know what kind of person he is, and it's a bit too self-deprecating to think about it.
And......
Mo stood up, looked out the window, then chuckled, lowered his head and said to himself, "Did you really let me say it?" The other party does not agree with this family business, and even is very disgusted? "That's why it's like this?
But this doesn't make sense, if the other party really dislikes this family affair to the point of conflict with the family. Then why did the other party send someone to bring him here?
If you can't figure it out, there's no need to force the horns of the bull, Mo shook his head, and then glanced at the night outside the window again.
Maybe it's just the night tonight, so let's go out for a walk......
As soon as the inexplicable thought moved, Mo's footsteps also moved. Pushing open the door, a light breeze blows, refreshing and cool.
Oh, the summer has just faded, and the cool autumn is coming, although there is no moon tonight, but this refreshing autumn breeze is also worth enjoying......
Feel free to wander through the courtyard and look around to admire the various arrangements and views of the courtyard. Although it was late at night and there was no light, it was naturally nothing in the way of Mo......
The scenery is good, and it can be seen that the master who is responsible for arranging and maintaining this courtyard is really very careful......
After walking for a while, Mo soon noticed that something was wrong. It's so quiet, not only is there no sound, but there is not even a single figure or breath.
It was such a huge mansion, but I didn't see any servants or guards. This......
Mo stopped, and sure enough, something was wrong. Could it be that in this house, in addition to his three guests, there was only the eldest lady of the Xixing Temple family, and the one who came to greet him today?
Such a scene is inexplicably a little familiar, thinking of this, Mo smiled, and then suddenly paused. Slowly turn your head and look in one direction.
Is that......
Mo thought for a moment, shifted his footsteps, and slowly walked towards the breath he had captured.
Walking through the corridor and across the courtyard, before he knew it, Mo came to the doorway of what appeared to be a garden, and the smell was inside.
But it's all this time, who is it?
Mo Mai walked into the courtyard, swept his eyes, and suddenly saw the figure standing in the middle of the courtyard:
With short pink hair and pink pupils, under the huge maple tree, is a dignified figure dressed in a blue and white kimono.
Under the autumn wind, the maple leaves slowly fell and scattered all over the courtyard, while the other party stretched out his hand and gently caught one of them......
The figure of the fallen leaves in his hand stood quietly, and at this moment, it seemed to solidify with this heaven and earth.
Life and death, falling leaves and maidens, when the autumn wind rises, it is another handover of the cycle of life. And the figure in front of him is standing in this junction, quietly compatible, as if it should be so......
Mo looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and even time seemed to forget to flow. Maybe it was just a moment, or maybe it was a long time, and the other party seemed to finally notice that someone was coming, and turned to look at Mo.
The moment the other party's gaze turned, Mo's figure trembled violently, and the inexplicably stagnant mind woke up again.
"That'...... That ......", Mo opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't speak all of a sudden. Or do you not know what to say?
And the other party seemed to be slightly stunned for a moment after seeing the comer clearly, and then quickly nodded and saluted with a smile: "First meeting, His Highness Mo." ”
Mo was stunned, and then he reacted, and hurriedly nodded in return: "First time we met, may I ask you ......?"
Although it was an inquiry, Mo had already faintly confirmed the identity of the other party in his heart: in this house, he was the only one who did not meet him......
"Ah, sorry, that's rude." , the other party bowed his head and apologized, and then pressed the folding fan in his hand lightly on his chest: "Yuyuko of Xixing Temple, this is my name." ”
Sure enough, Mo nodded knowingly.
"I don't know why His Highness Mo came here late at night?"
Mo was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "I just couldn't sleep late at night, so I came out to enjoy the night." Before I knew it, I had come here. Well, if it bothers you, then I'll leave. ”
"How can this be ......", the other party shook his head, "It's me, you came from afar today, but I didn't greet you personally, I hope you forgive me for being rude." ”
"No, how dare I ......", Mo hurriedly stepped out, as if he wanted to walk over, and then paused again.
The other party chuckled, his pink eyes looked at Mo calmly, and then turned sideways slightly and said, "It just so happens that I have some tea here, if Your Highness Mo doesn't mind, why don't you come and taste it together?" ”
"Uh...... Hmmm......", Mo nodded deeply, paused in place for a moment, stabilized his mind, and then moved his steps and walked forward.
…… To be continued......
