When Saionji Akino returned to the living room with his three children, he immediately asked them if they were hungry.

After seeing them nodding, he immediately asked the maid to help make the food and send it over, and because of their thin size, Saionji Akino also specially told to make some food that is more biased towards children's taste - children's taste buds are much more sensitive than adults, especially bitter and spicy, and most children like to eat sweet.

While waiting for the food to come up, Saionji Akino began to slowly communicate with them, communicating with them, and learning about their previous life in the orphanage.

"The nurse would let us plant flowers and vegetables every day, and then they would ask us to read... Everyone in the orphanage is very punctual, but it's not really interesting. ”

"But only me and Nan are different, Nan and I can find opportunities to sneak out and play every day, after all, the air there is too stuffy, if we don't breathe outside, we will really die!"

"That's... Really? Saionji Akino looked at the little girl sitting beside him.

"I... I don't like to hang out, I like to read... But the air there is really dreary..."

"That's why you're really going to hang out with the two of us, don't talk about us, big brother, you're so handsome, do you have multiple girlfriends in high school?" Minami asked.

"Girlfriend!" Yuzheng's eyes were like flashlights turning on the switch, shooting out a strong light, and he looked at Saionji Akino expectantly.

"Don't say many, not a single one." Saionji Akino touched the heads of the two little ghosts helplessly, "Do you children care so much about boyfriends and girlfriends?" ”

"Isn't it because adults are always talking about it? We don't know what's important and what's not, so we can only learn what adults say. Yong Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Master Akino..."The voice of the maid outside the door was very soft, obviously the cooking was done.

Saionji Akino immediately looked at the three children with a smile, "Let's eat something first, you must be hungry too." ”

After the maid outside the door brought the food to them little by little, it could be found that the two little boys were constantly swallowing saliva, but on the other hand, Zhenna's gaze was a little dull.

"Really?" Saionji Akino called her name with concern.

Shina smiled quickly, and then, following the example of a little boy, began to eat slowly, taking a bite that would take a minute to chew.

And every time I take a bite, I have to peek at Saionji Akino several times.

It's not that the little girl likes Saionji Akino, but that she subconsciously looks at other people's eyes.

Saionji Akino had been observing Shina with his peripheral vision, and after ten minutes, he finally understood.

Really have anorexia.

And very seriously.

So he immediately approached Shina and said with a smile: "Shina, if you don't want to eat, you don't have to force yourself." ”

Zhena squeezed out a smile, "I'm sorry big brother, actually, it's actually delicious..."

"It's okay, it's okay, no one is going to blame you... Shall we have some juice then? ”

"Hmm..."Shina thought she would be scared of Saionji Akino's sudden approach, but she didn't expect that she would accept it quickly.

And, when Saionji Akino feeds her juice and helps her wipe her mouth, she will have an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in her heart, but the more satisfied, the more she will feel scared, afraid that this is not a temporary disguise of Saionji Akino...

Like the family who adopted her for the first time... Superficially kind, but in fact...

Saionji Akino carefully observed Shina's facial expression the whole time, and although he couldn't see much, he still instinctively felt that something was wrong...

——

Throughout the day, Saionji Akino spent the time relaxing with the three of them, not saying a word about the rules of the attendants.

The two little boys are adapting well, except for being a little naughty and playful, there is nothing bad, the only problem is in the real one.

Fujiwara Nagi's side, because the three children did not complete the task according to her requirements, were practicing sitting in the corridor at this time.

Yes, you need to practice sitting upright, and as a member of the Fujiwara family, you have to do it, and you have to sit until your legs are numb, but you must stand up when you want to stand up.

The rules must be strictly followed.

Fujiwara Nagi looked at the painful appearance of the three of them struggling to persevere, but he thought of his own experience when he was a child.

When she was a child, she was also taken into the Fujiwara family in a daze, and then immediately received an education, during which the corporal punishment she received was simply countless.

If you want to transform into a big lady, you must pay a lot of price.

Fujiwara Nagi didn't feel anything about the bitterness they were suffering.

——

Late at night, Saionji Akino was worried that the three children would not sleep well in an unfamiliar environment, so he let them live with him.

After everyone finished bathing, Saionji Akino helped them lay out the quilt and told a bedtime story, and turned off the lights and rested at about 10 o'clock in the evening.

Saionji Akino did not fall asleep for the first time, nor did he carry out dream study.

Although he has always felt that it is a waste of time to sleep at night and not study, this time is different, in the face of three children, if he wants to teach well, he must always pay full attention and think of more ways and countermeasures so that they can accept his teaching.

And, in the afternoon, he asked Kyoko to help him investigate the situation of the children in the orphanage before they came.

He found out that only Shina had been adopted, but was later sent back for unknown reasons.

For unknown reasons...

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a slight sob?

Looking for prestige, he saw that Shina, who was sleeping next to him, had already sat up at this time, wiping his tears and whimpering in a low voice.

Saionji Qiu Ye's heart twitched, he also slowly got up, came to Zhenna's side and asked, "What's the matter, Zhenna?" ”

Hearing the soft voice, Shina subconsciously grabbed Saionji Akino's clothes, hid in his arms, and choked in a low voice: "Big brother... I can't sleep..."

"If you can't sleep, let's go out for a walk, shall we?"

"Is that okay?"

"Yes."

——

I took Shina back to the hydrangea group that I met in the morning, and the moonlight was bright tonight, and the flowers exuded a faint fragrance, and Shina who was holding the hand of Akino of Saionji Temple gradually relaxed.

"Big brother, am I a troublesome child?" With her pure eyes, she looked at Saionji Akino with some guilt.

"It's not a hassle at all, I like it very much." Saionji Akino half-squatted down and said with a smile.

"Big brother, can I hug you?"

"Of course."

So Saionji Akino gently hugged the little girl who was so thin that there were only bones left on her body, trying to warm her with her own body heat.

"Big brother, I'm a good boy, I'm very obedient."

"I know."

"Big brother, are you a prince?"

"Do you wish I was?"

"Hmm... No, I hope you're the big brother next door. ”

"Then I'm the big brother next door."

"Big brother, I'm so sleepy..."

"Then sleep, really."

"Hmm."

In a few seemingly meaningless conversations, Shina fell asleep in Saionji Akino's arms.

Saionji Akino listened to the little girl's steady breathing, and his heart became steady.

He was about to pick up Shina gently, but through the moonlight, he saw the back of Shina's loose clothes.

The next moment, his pupils contracted instantly, and a wave of anger and sorrow welled up in his heart.

On Shina's back, you can clearly see several ugly scars, very deep, very deep.

No wonder this little girl has anorexia and can't sleep at night...

No wonder they were sent back to the orphanage for "unknown reasons"...

Saionji Akino didn't know how to describe the dull and complicated mood at the moment, if it was just him to bear the pain, he would be able to adjust quickly, but if it was someone around him, or some innocent children, it would be difficult for him to recover in a short time.

It can be said that this is his only weakness, and it is also a weakness that he can't change.

After carrying Shina back to her room and helping her cover the quilt.

Saionji Akino felt that he had no intention of sleeping at this time, so he left his courtyard and walked back to the hydrangea just now.

And this time, he met someone who would make him feel a little embarrassed - Nagi Fujiwara.

Fujiwara Nagi, who has cut her hair short, is still beautiful and moving, but she looks more aggressive than before, and is no longer that feminine.

Fujiwara Nagi glanced at him from a distance, and after thinking for a moment, she began to slowly walk in front of Saionji Akino.

Then he smiled: "Akino-kun... Are you here to enjoy the flowers? ”

"Hmm... I can't sleep a little, so come and check it out. ”

After what happened last time, it was difficult for Saionji Akino to look at her with the eyes of a normal friend.

Though... It didn't seem like she was willing to do that at the time.

But... I do feel embarrassed.

"Last time... I'm really sorry for the trouble caused you last time. Fujiwara Nagi restrained the resentment and jealousy in her eyes, pretended to be bitter, and smiled reluctantly.

"Last time..."Saionji Akino shook his head, "Please take care of yourself in the future, Mr. Fujiwara is really nonsense sometimes." ”

"I'm sorry, Akino-kun..."Nagi Fujiwara continued to apologize.

Although this was only a temporary idea for her, she already had a clear idea.

The woman disguised as a man just gave her an extra identity, and she could use her female identity to continue to be friends with him, and then use his trust in exchange for information, or deceive him.

In this way, your winning rate in this competition will be much higher.

As for his relationship with "Fujiwara Jimitsu"... Let's just say it's cousins.

Anyway, he didn't know that I was the adopted daughter of the Fujiwara family.

Fujiwara Nagi looked directly into Saionji Akino's eyes and continued to act according to his inner plan.
