Chapter 83 "Why are you crying?"
—Stay by his side.
Azhi's pupils trembled slightly, and for a moment she seemed to hear the sharp crack of 000, but she didn't have time to calm the system down...
Ji Guoyansheng's hand made it impossible for her to look away, so she could only stare at him. As a result, Azhi saw the complex emotions churning in his eyes.
This left her bewildered and stunned.
These few seconds of free time gave Jiguo Yansheng a glimmer of hope. He breathed heavily, the stray hairs on his forehead concealing the turbulent emotions surging in his eyes.
"I will give you everything you want."
This is a very weighty guarantee made by the current head of the Tsugikuni family. He is so confident that he can keep his word, which is invaluable to some people.
However, it might not be effective for the girl in front of me.
000 couldn't hold back any longer, its voice filled with utter annoyance: "No! Absolutely not! I won't agree! Who does he think he is...?"
The mechanical voice rattled on and on, startling Azhi, who quickly reassured her: "Don't worry, I won't agree."
She blinked, looking up at the now utterly unfamiliar Tsugikuni Iwakatsu, then abruptly looked away and whispered, "...Thank you, but I don't want it."
All Aori wants is to complete the mission. Although it seems like it's still a long way off, she's not in a hurry. But she definitely can't tell Tsugikuni Iwakatsu about this.
Moreover... Aori really felt that she and Kokushiro Iwakatsu were too close.
"…………"
—As expected, I was rejected.
Although he had already guessed this would be the answer, Ji Guoyansheng's mood still sank. He paused, somewhat unwilling.
“A-Zhi”.
Following Guo Yansheng's call, he easily attracted the girl's attention. He placed his large hand on Azhi's fair face, then moved his thumb down to her warm lips.
Ji Guoyan tried to hold back, but the soft flesh of his lips was still pressed into an indentation.
Her deep purple dress contrasted against the girl's snow-white skin. Her loose hair had somehow fallen down, clinging to her neck and disappearing into her collar. Her clear eyes reflected only him.
The young patriarch lifted Azhi by the waist with one hand, keeping them at eye level. He spoke earnestly, each word tinged with a hoarseness: "I love you, and I want to marry you."
He spoke very slowly, but he was actually very nervous, so nervous that sweat beaded on the back of his neck.
In fact, his father had been urging him to marry a woman of equal social standing as soon as possible and then have an heir in due course.
But Jikuni Iwakatsu suppressed all of these.
He didn't want to simply complete a task by marrying a "suitable" wife, as doing so would do neither good for him nor for the woman.
He had already realized that there was no romantic relationship between Aori and Yoriichi, so he was not trying to interfere in their relationship in a despicable way.
If that's the case, why can't he try to fight for it?
Kokuichi no longer wanted to hide himself. He lowered his head under the girl's slightly timid expression and approached her with an almost obsessive attitude.
However, at the very moment they were about to touch, it transformed into a kiss that was cherished above all else and free of any impurities.
Azhi only saw Tsugikuni Iwakatsu's face getting closer and closer, then her nose was brushed against, and then her lips were touched, but they quickly separated.
It happened so fast that she had no way to avoid it.
Although she really doesn't have any way out right now.
The other person's aura completely enveloped her, unlike his usual cold and hard demeanor. Just now, Azhi clearly felt Jikuni Iwakatsu's scalding breath sweep over her.
She heard the sharp, explosive sound of 000 again.
000 panicked and blurted out: 【—My God, how dare this cunning and treacherous man do this? Don't let him fool you! Quickly, give him a good beating! Even if it's against the rules, I'll take the blame for you!!!】
—Who knows? Their cabbages are really going to be stolen!
This was the first time Azhi had ever heard someone confess their feelings to her. Her first reaction was disbelief; it was too sudden and gave her no time to process it.
If she remembered correctly, they had indeed been separated for many years, and the feeling of estrangement in Azhi's heart had not yet dissipated.
She was breathing heavily, like a small animal being grabbed by the scruff of its neck, and her eyes were gradually becoming misty, not knowing what to do.
What Jiguo Yansheng said was something Azhi had never thought of. Her hand, which was originally nervously holding the young family head's arm, gradually curled up, and she stared at him uneasily.
Azhi inexplicably wanted to escape. After a brief silence, she looked up at him pitifully, as if she was about to cry: "I want to go back."
She seemed to be completely unable to withstand any more stimulation.
Ji Guoyan Sheng paused for a moment, looking at A Zhi's slightly pursed lips, and closed his eyes briefly, knowing that he couldn't rush things.
He has already confessed his feelings to Azhi, which will leave a mark on her heart no matter what.
After releasing A-Zhi, Guo Yansheng took a step back, stood at a safe distance, and extended a hand to the girl: "Sorry."
“But what I said will never change…” He paused, lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in them, and regained his usual calm. “You can think about it carefully.”
This time, Aori didn't foolishly walk with Tsugikuni Iwakatsu. Fortunately, she still remembered the way and almost ran away.
So when Yoriichi Tsugikuni returned, he saw Ori sitting on the steps, her hands wrapped around her knees, her chin resting on them, staring blankly at the ground.
It's as if they've lost their soul.
Actually, Azhi was being bombarded by 000.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni had been called away by his father earlier, and since there wasn't anything important to do, he didn't ask Ori to come along, fearing she would get bored.
The conversation was relatively harmonious.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni never harbored any resentment towards the unfair treatment he suffered as a child, so when one side asked enthusiastically and the other answered calmly, they seemed to get along quite well.
But that's just what it looks like.
Knowing that Aori's health was not seriously affected, Yoriichi Tsugikuni no longer wanted to stay in the Tsugikuni residence, and he felt that Aori thought the same way.
I feel most at ease back in the mountains.
"Ori." Yoriichi's eyes sparkled, but when his gaze lingered on Ori's face, he slowly frowned, and even his inner excitement cooled down.
He bent down, curled his fingers, and gently wiped away the lingering redness from the corner of the girl's eyes, his tone tinged with obvious anxiety: "Why are you crying?"

Author's note: Yan Sheng: Excuse me, I'll be going now.
——————————
My darlings, the specific reason for the hiatus is in the pinned comment. I always thought I was in great health, rarely even catching a cold or fever, but reality has taught me a lesson. I don't even want to remember how long I was hospitalized or how much medicine I took during this time _(:з」∠)_
The doctor said to try medication first, and if things go well, there won't be any problems. If things don't go well, I'll need surgery. I've never had surgery before (scared.jpg)
I apologize for not writing a leave request, because I don't know how long I'll need to take leave given my situation.
