Chapter 8: Haruko's Choice

"You betrayed me? Then don't blame me for being ruthless! Helian Jie snorted softly, and the shuttle that rose in the air immediately turned into a sharp white light and flew towards him, swishing through his throat.

"Ahh Haruko wakes up from a nightmare and sits on the bed in despair, clasping her neck with her hands, only to realize that it was just a dream.

"What? Having a nightmare? On the sofa not far away, Helian Jie sat there, quietly reading a book.

"yes!" Haruko looked at Helian Jie in shock, not wanting to answer too much.

"How long have I been asleep?" Haruko took a glass of water from the bedside and took a sip, she found a box of Japanese-style bento boxes next to the bedside, so she asked Helianjie, "You bought this for me?" ”

Helianjie nodded and said, "You've been sleeping for more than twenty hours, I think, you must be very tired, so I haven't called you up." ”

"Thank you, I'm so hungry, can I eat?" Haruko looked at the lunch box at the head of the bed, she was really a little hungry.

"Of course, though, it's a little cold, so it's better to warm it up. You lie down, I'll go give you heat. As he spoke, Helian Jie was about to get up.

"Oh, it's okay, I can do it myself," Haruko flipped over the quilt, got out of bed, took the lunch box to the microwave to heat it up, and while waiting for the microwave time, she glanced at Helianjie and asked him, "When I slept, you were here all the time watching?" ”

Helian Jie closed the book, smiled lightly and said: "The way you are asleep is simply a sleeping beauty, very beautiful, but I am more interested in what you say in your dreams when you sleep, everyone says it, and the dream words are true." ”

Haruko's heart chuckled, and she moved her gaze to the microwave oven with some weakness, and said, "Have I ever said anything in my dreams?" ”

"No, though, I just hope you don't cause me any trouble, to be honest, I've had enough trouble these days, I don't want another one."

"Ding!" When the microwave went off, Haruko put on her gloves and took out the bento from it, sat down at the table and ate it, without saying a word.

She ate all the food in the bento in one go, not even a grain of rice left, but after eating, her eyes were already full of tears.

Her mother was killed, she was helpless, and now she had to face a man who saved her, but was a complete stranger to her, she felt helpless and desperate, she felt that it was really better to be killed at that time, so it was a hundred. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sob, but she didn't cry out loud.

After a long time, she found Helian Jie coming over and handing her a tissue, she took the tissue to wipe her tears, at this time, she finally couldn't help it anymore and began to cry.

I don't know how long I cried, but I finally stopped, and I only sobbed softly. Helian Jie saw a pair of pear blossom and rain eyes on her delicate face, beautiful and beautiful than flowers, golden hair like a waterfall scattered on her forehead, the bridge of her nose was slightly high, and her lips were slightly upturned, which had both the weakness and obedience of an Oriental woman, as well as the straightforwardness and enthusiasm of a Western girl.

Haruko wiped the last tears left on her face and slowly told her life story.

Haruko's mother, Catherine, is an American, she taught Western literature and English grammar to the imperial grandchildren in the Japanese imperial family earlier, and as a result, she fell in love with the Japanese crown prince, and soon Catherine became pregnant, but the crown prince already had a wife, according to the rules of the Japanese imperial family, it was impossible for him to divorce and be with Catherine, and Catherine decided to have this child herself, this is Haruko.

Not many people know about this matter, except for the parties involved and some members of the Japanese imperial family, and the Japanese imperial family also tries its best to cover up the facts, after all, it is detrimental to the reputation of the imperial family. But for so many years, the crown prince's wife has only given birth to a daughter, and seeing that the age of sterilization has passed, there is still no movement, so the crown prince does not have a grandson as an heir on the side of the crown prince, but there is a grandson on the second prince's side, and the second prince wants to take the opportunity to seek the position of the emperor's heir, so he kicked this past scandal to the media.

The crown prince was very embarrassed by this, and he had to try his best to deny it because of the need to maintain the image of the royal family, but it was rumored that there were noses and eyes, and he really did not want to deny it.

At this moment, the Japanese right-wingers, who have always actively supported the image of the imperial family and unconditionally defended the dignity of the imperial family, could not sit still, and they secretly issued a secret killing order to Catherine and Haruko, who were rumored to be involved, without telling the crown prince.

But in the end, this matter was still known by the crown prince, and he wanted to stop it, but the right-wing forces did not listen to him at all, and the crown prince hurriedly gave an early warning to the mother and daughter, and they had no choice but to flee, so they fled to China, where the right-wing forces were very weak.

But unexpectedly, the right-wing forces still sent people to chase and kill all the way to China, and this is what happened before.

After Haruko told the ins and outs, she sighed and said: "The right-wing organizations will definitely not give up, they are very powerful, so no matter where I hide, it is impossible to be safe, my father, as the crown prince, actually has no real power, he can't protect me." Speaking of this, Haruko's face was covered with a shadow, and she turned to Helian Jie and said, "Brother, if one day, I cause you any trouble because of this matter, you don't have to save me, I can understand, and I don't want to cause you any trouble." When she said this, she used the honorific "you."

From beginning to end, Helian Jie didn't say a word, he just sat there, quietly watching Haruko, and listening to her finish speaking. He knew very well in his heart that this woman needed this kind of talk very much, and he himself wanted to know the ins and outs of the matter, and he didn't want to be kept in the dark and encounter any accidents, but always knew where the potential risks were.

After Haruko finished speaking, Helian Jie said slowly: "The past, let it pass, I just want to ask you, do you really want to follow me, or is it just an expedient measure, want to borrow my hand to protect yourself, and then find another way out?" Saying this, Helian Jie squinted his eyes slightly, carefully observing the change in the expression on Haruko's face.

Haruko brushed the blonde hair on her forehead and raised her head, looking at the ordinary-looking, ordinary, but incomprehensible man in front of her with a pair of hazy eyes, and said softly after a while: "I listen to you, if you want me to stay, I will stay, if you are afraid that I will cause you any trouble, I will leave now." ”

Helian Jie smiled slightly, and had already read the answer he wanted from Haruko's expression. He didn't answer Haruko's question directly, but said: "Actually, you don't have to throw the question to me again, it's not me choosing, but you, well, I just went out on a trip, and by the way, I bought you a few sets of clothes, you put them on and try them, it's snowing a lot outside, go out and dress warmly." It's not safe here, we need to get out of here as soon as possible. After speaking, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the clothes on the sofa, turned around and walked out of the room, and gently closed the door.

Haruko looked at the clothes on the sofa, and a ripple in her heart that she couldn't explain.
