Chapter 136: What if Atobe confessed on Halloween (buy with caution)...
After hearing about such a serious accident in the island country, Tracy Atobe quickly made a long-distance call to ask if her beloved son was safe.
As a result, she received a piece of shocking news from Yamaoki -
Her son Keigo Atobe was injured in this major accident!
She only heard the first half of Yamaoki's sentence, "Master Jingwu was accidentally injured and is now in Ward 102 of Toudu National Hospital..." She immediately dropped all her affairs in the UK and flew to the island country to visit her son.
This naturally caused her to miss the second half of Butler Yamaoki's sentence, "However, thanks to Miss Saionji's protection, Master Keigo's injuries weren't serious. The doctor said they were only minor trauma. It was only because Miss Saionji was unconscious that Master Keigo remained by her bedside in the hospital and refused to leave."
*
"Keigo!" As Tracey pushed open Ward 102, she couldn't help but imagine how badly her son was injured, unable to even stay at home and forced to be hospitalized. The thought frantically made her shout, "Keigo, how are you? Are you seriously injured?!"
As a result, when she pushed open the door, she saw her son's tall and straight back. Although she hadn't seen him for several months, as a mother, she would never make a mistake.
Atobe Keigo turned around upon hearing the voice, also revealing a somewhat surprised expression, "Mother, why are you here?"
Only then did Atobe Tracey notice the bandage on his forehead. She felt so distressed that tears nearly streamed down her face. She took a few steps forward, hugged his head, and asked, "Does it hurt? What did the doctor say? Or...are there any aftereffects?"
Thinking about her son's habit of not liking to stay in the hospital, but this time he stayed in the hospital instead of going home to be treated by a private doctor, the imaginative Atobe Tracy had already imagined many irreversible incurable diseases.
Atobe Keigo was still immersed in the "shock" of his mother's sudden appearance. It took him a while to realize what his mother had misunderstood. He said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Mother, you misunderstood. Please let me go first."
"Misunderstand?"
Atobe Tracy let go of her son and wiped her eyes. "Didn't Yamaoki say you were seriously injured in the previous accident? You were even hospitalized because of it... and you didn't even plan to tell us. Do you know how worried this makes me? No, you have to come back to England with me immediately. I dare not let you stay here for even a second longer."
"I only suffered a minor injury. The bandage was to prevent the wound from being exposed to the wind," Atobe Keigo had to explain one thing at a time. "I don't need to be hospitalized. I'm here because, because..."
At the end of his speech, he suddenly paused.
"For what?" Tracy asked subconsciously.
Atobe Keigo pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Mother, please allow me to introduce someone to you."
"Who?" Atobe Tracy couldn't keep up with her son's rhythm and repeated it stupidly.
"Ahem," Atobe Keigo coughed lightly and moved aside to make room for his mother to see the girl lying on the hospital bed. "Please allow me to introduce you. This is my girlfriend, the one I want to spend my life with, Saionji Tamane."
Atobe Tracy was dumbfounded.
#Urgent, waiting online, please tell me, if her son suddenly introduces her to his lover, and the lover is currently lying unconscious in a hospital bed, how should she react appropriately? #
*
After the son repeatedly explained that his girlfriend did not have a terminal illness, nor did she become a vegetable due to injuries in a major accident, but was simply unconscious due to excessive energy consumption in rescuing people, and would be fine after a few more days of sleep, Atobe Tracy, who had hurriedly arrived by plane, walked out of the ward in a trance and bumped into the butler Yamaoki who was waiting outside.
As the hostess, Atobe Tracy's expression changed immediately, and she asked solemnly, "Yamachi, what exactly is going on? Please explain it to me clearly."
"Yes, Madam Tracy," Butler Yamaoki bowed and replied, "Madam, it is so. Didn't you and the master hire bodyguards for Master Keigo from four agencies for his safety?"
Tracy thought back, remembering her conversation with Christie that day at the racecourse, and nodded. "That's true, of course. Wait..." She suddenly realized, "Since the young master has always been accompanied by bodyguards sent by all parties, how did Jingwu get injured?"
Then she saw that the expression on Butler Yamaoki's face became very strange.
"What's wrong? Is there anything you can't say?" Tracy was very surprised.
Butler Yamaoki lowered his head and said, "In fact, these four organizations or forces all sent the same person, Miss Saionji, whom Master Jingwu just introduced to you, my wife."
"What?" Atobe Tracy was shocked. "How could this happen? Such a serious matter, Yamaki, you won't report it to me or the master?"
Butler Yamaoki smiled bitterly and said, "It was Master Jingwu who stopped me from reporting this to you or Master. He didn't like having too many bodyguards around him to begin with, and then he developed feelings for Miss Saionji, so he was even more reluctant to report this to Madam and Master. It's just a tangent."
*
"Yuyin, are you awake?!"
The familiar ceiling, the familiar smell of disinfectant, and the familiar caring voice beside her ear, Saionji Tamane knew very well that she must have used up her spiritual power again and ended up in a coma and hospitalized.
The only difference is that the person holding her hand and being happy for her awakening is none other than Keigo Atobe, with whom she had just confirmed her relationship and given the title of "boyfriend" before she fell into a coma.
As he helped her up, Keigo Atobe asked softly, "How do you feel? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Or should I call a doctor to check first?"
"No need to call a doctor." Saionji Tamane shook her head gently. She knew her own body well. She pursed her lips and was surprised to find that her lips and mouth were not very dry.
Atobe Keigo noticed her little action and quickly said, "I hired a nurse to take care of you. I wanted to take you home, but Mr. Deba, Mr. Munakata, Mr. Gojo, and Mr. Sakaguchi all objected."
Yuyin understood that with the major accident happening, all departments were extremely short of staff. If Jingwu took her back to the Atobe family villa to recuperate, in order to protect her, the director and his senior brothers would have to assign additional people to the Atobe family to protect her. If they stayed in the hospital, the four families would have already arranged patrol and security tasks, so there would be no need to assign additional personnel.
"Mr. Deba and the others said that it's not my turn to take you home and take care of you. If I have to go back, it should be to their Deba family (Gojo family). Since the protection mission was temporarily interrupted, it's not in accordance with the rules for me to take you away," Atobe Keigo complained to her with a somewhat aggrieved look. "Tamanon, you said it yourself. I'm your boyfriend, so why don't I have the right?"
"Alright, alright," Yuyin patted his head gently and soothed him, "I haven't had time to tell them that you're my boyfriend yet. I'll tell them for you later. Next time..."
"Will there be a next time?" Atobe Keigo frowned.
"Ahem," Yuyin coughed lightly, "This was a special case. You saw how dangerous it was that day. It's not an exaggeration to say that the island nation was destroyed."
Noticing that there were still traces of bandage on Atobe's head, Yuyin frowned distressedly, gently stroked the surface of the bandage, and asked: "I remember that day, you were accidentally hit by a flying rock while trying to save someone, and the wound has been bleeding. Does it hurt?"
Atobe Keigo held her hand in his backhand, shook his head, and whispered, "It doesn't hurt. I tell you, the wound just looks scary. I later consulted the doctor, and he said it doesn't need stitches. If you take good care of it, there won't be any scars left."
"That's good," Yuyin finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Jingwu's answer. She felt like joking and said, "If you hurt my Jingwu's perfect and gorgeous face and left any scars, I would be very sad."
"Even if there are scars, it won't diminish my splendor." Atobe raised his eyebrows.
Keigo Atobe is a person who cares about his appearance, so of course he would not let such a thing happen. Although he always said nice things in front of Tamane, he really did not lie about this matter. That day, he came out with the unconscious Tamane covered in blood, which scared his teammates in the tennis club. They thought he was seriously injured, so they quickly took him and Tamane to the hospital in the same ambulance.
"Yes, yes, you are the most gorgeous." Yuyin leaned against the head of the bed and glanced at the calm and peaceful ward. It was a world apart from Shibuya that day. She couldn't help but sigh, "Luckily, you are fine, otherwise I wouldn't be able to forgive myself so easily."
"I've already told you I can take care of myself, there's definitely no problem."
When Keigo Atobe said this, he felt a little guilty. It was he who persuaded Yuyin to do the right thing and save people. He also promised that with the tennis ball, racket and the amulet she gave him, he would definitely be able to lead everyone in the tennis club away from the street where the incident happened.
In the end, he turned back alone to save a little girl who was left alone, and was cut by flying debris from the damaged building. When he came back, everyone was shocked.
"How many days have I been unconscious?" Yuyin thought about it and decided not to dwell on it. Anyway, she could still ask Oshitari and Butler Yamaoki about what happened at that time and afterwards to see if anyone was hiding anything.
"Six days," Atobe Keigo answered without hesitation. He checked the calendar and clock every day and was extremely sensitive to time. "Mr. Deba and Mr. Munakata were very busy. They came to see you once, told me you were probably fine, and then left."
"As long as the director and my senior brothers are okay, I'm glad."
Yuyin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. Thinking of the brilliant blue light she saw before she fell into a coma, she wanted to ask some questions, but she knew that Jingwu would not be able to answer them in front of her. It would be better for her to recover some spiritual power before asking them in person.
However, after the incident, everything was under construction and manpower was extremely tight. If she went there like this, she would probably be drafted into labor by those heartless people. Thinking of this, it would not be too much for her to lie in the hospital bed for a few more days.
"Um, Yuyin...I have something to tell you."
It was rare to hear Jingwu speaking hesitantly. Yuyin looked out the window. The sun didn't rise from the west?
"What's wrong?"
"My mother is here," Keigo Atobe said courageously, "She said she wants to see you after you wake up."
“Huh?!”
Yuyin couldn't help but widen her eyes.
*
That's why on the third day after waking up from the hospital, she and Jingwu's mother, Mrs. Tracy, looked at each other in silence in a secluded private cafe near the hospital.
Saionji Gyomone is a bestselling fantasy author.
Her novels have always been known for their magnificent and rich imagination and unique worldview. Relatively speaking, the emotional parts of her novels are not so... not so attractive.
In order to help her, the "Daodaiji" teacher, write better and more complete emotional stories, editor Shinjo introduced her to dozens of romance novels at once. At that time, the world had not yet merged, and when she had free time, Saionji Tamon would pick up a few books to read when she was bored. Among them were some Cinderella or grassroots heroines who fell in love with rich and noble men.
At this moment, looking at the noble lady opposite, whose dress, appearance and temperament were very consistent with the descriptions in the melodramatic novels of the rich and powerful, and after this lady looked at her for several times, her brows became more and more furrowed, which made Saionji Tamane feel more and more like déjà vu.
She always felt that in the next second, the lady across from her would throw her a bank card or a blank check and condescendingly say to her, "I'll give you 100 million, and leave my son immediately!"
Thinking of this, Yuyin felt that she could no longer maintain her calm expression, and quickly picked up a cup of coffee to cover it up.
"Excuse me……"
In such an occasion, it was natural for the elders to take the lead. Mrs. Atobe frowned and said, "Miss Saionji, are there any difficulties at home?"
"Pfft... cough cough..." Yuyin almost choked on a mouthful of coffee and quickly wiped her mouth with a tissue. "My family isn't in any trouble, Mrs. Tracy. May I ask why you're asking?"
Atobe Tracy narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a slightly puzzled expression: "If your family isn't in trouble, why are you working in four places at the same time?"
At this moment, Saionji Gyoon only had one feeling——
That is, Mrs. Tracy and Jingwu are worthy of being mother and son. Their reactions when they found out that she was working four jobs at the same time were not unrelated, but exactly the same.
"Well, it's a long story," Yuyin tried to organize her words, but she couldn't figure out how the situation among the major forces had changed after the great changes, so she could only continue vaguely, "For some unspeakable reason, it became like this. Please forgive me for not being able to give you a reasonable explanation for the time being."
"Is that so..." After receiving this answer, which wasn't quite an answer, Mrs. Tracy pondered for a moment, put down her teacup, and asked, "Then Jingwu plans to continue his studies in the island country instead of going to Eton College as our family had originally planned. Is it because of you?"
"This..." Yuyin thought for a moment and said seriously, "I don't rule out the possibility that I was partly responsible for Jingwu's decision, but I believe he has considered it carefully. Whether it's for tennis, love, or future academic and career development, he will handle it well. Please trust him."
"Okay," Tracy sighed softly, "When you say that, it's as if I, as a mother, don't trust him or understand him as much as you do. I won't say or do anything about your affairs. Jingwu has always been a child with his own ideas. Even if we force him to break up with you, he will definitely not agree. Besides, I'm not the kind of feudal patriarch who sticks to the old ways. Besides..."
At the end, Mrs. Treshi suddenly changed the subject. She held Yuyin's hand and said with a smile, "My son, I'm worried he'll turn into Narcissus in mythology. He's never had a girlfriend since he was a child. Is that normal? This is totally abnormal. Fortunately, I have you, Yuyin. Is it okay for me to call you like this? I heard that you islanders are not used to being called by names? I just like calling people by their names. It makes us feel closer."
"Madam, what are you doing..." Yuyin was confused by her sudden change of attitude.
"Still calling me Madam?" Mrs. Trexi said dissatisfiedly.
"Then...Aunt Tracy?" Yuyin asked tentatively.
Mrs. Tresi then smiled and agreed, but she didn't forget to ask her, "I heard from Yamachi that it was Jingwu who took the initiative to pursue you. Tell me, how did he pursue you?"
Yuyin was a little amused and helpless. She realized that Mrs. Tracy was even a little out of touch after taking off the aristocratic mask. She finally knew who Jingwu looked like in some ways.
"Actually, I don't know how he pursued me..."
"He didn't take you on a luxury cruise ship to cruise the Pacific Ocean, or take you skydiving in a hot air balloon thousands of meters high to confess his love, or take you to the Arctic to see the aurora borealis or the Antarctic to see penguins?"
Yuyin said sincerely, "...Although I've found all these plans on scraps of paper he's thrown away, none of them have actually been implemented."
First, both of them are always busy, resulting in no time to execute the plan. Second, even if both of them are occasionally free, some unexpected accidents may occur, interrupting Tebe's plan.
Mrs. Tracy, who wanted to hear a romantic love story, said: "Tsk, this son is so lame."
*
When we were about to check out, something went wrong.
"Senior? Senior? And the head of the department and Mr. Ango, why are you here?"
Yuyin heard a familiar conversation and discovered that four familiar mature men were sitting in the booth next to them.
"Hey, Yuyin-chan~" Gojo Satoru made a scissors sign, "I brought all of these here. It's a surprise, isn't it Yuyin-chan~"
Shizuka Deba tilted his head and smiled, saying, "Mr. Gojo used the excuse of going to the restroom in the middle of a meeting to teleport out to buy dessert. He happened to see you and this lady sitting together in a coffee shop, so he went back and told everyone about it. He then teleported the three of us who were in the meeting over here, under the pretext of supporting you. He wanted to let your future wealthy mother-in-law know that you're not someone to be trifled with and that you have someone backing you up (/_^)"
Yuyin: “…” What the hell is this rich mother-in-law? Brother, aren’t you tired of speaking such a long string of lines? Your character is going to collapse!
Atobe Tracy looked at the four handsome young men, each with their own unique characteristics, and finally couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, who are you...?"
Gojo Satoru rushed over, took his wife's hand and kissed it, and said with a smile: "Dear Madam, we are Yuyin-chan's brothers~"
"You..." Mrs. Tracy covered her mouth in surprise. "All of you?"
"certainly……"
"Of course not," Deba Shizuka said slowly, but managed to interrupt, "I'm the only one who's related," pointing to Gojo Satoru, who looked the least serious and the least reliable, "This one is recognized," pointing to Munakata Reiji, who sat as straight as a pine tree, "This one is Tamane's cousin," and finally pointing to Sakaguchi Ango, "That one's the neighbor's brother, barely considered one."
"Wow, Dechang, you're so cunning!"
"You have great genes, Yuyin-chan," Mrs. Tresi turned to her and said, "I'm looking forward to seeing what your and Keigo's children will look like. They're sure to be gorgeous!"
Saionji Yuon held her forehead helplessly.
*
In short, inexplicably, Saionji Tamon had four more "brothers" above her, and she also passed the so-called most difficult hurdle of dating a rich and noble young man and gained the approval of her parents.
Although it's only half yet.
*
However, although the two people have confirmed their relationship, their lives have not changed much compared to before.
It can even be said that the places where Tamane and Atobe Keigo spend most of their time together are the classroom and the tennis club.
It can even be said that their truly intimate interactions were even less than when Atobe was pursuing her before, because at that time he had a close protection mission, and the two of them were truly inseparable.
Soon, even the daily time spent together could no longer be maintained.
Because the U-17 selection and training camp has arrived, Keigo Atobe was naturally selected, and Hyotei, as the champion team of the national competition, also had many players selected. However, since this training camp is a formal training camp for international competitions, it is not like the previous Japan-US Youth Friendship Exchange Tournament where outsiders can be easily selected as volunteers.
At the same time, Gyoen's several "jobs" also entered an extremely busy stage. After the previous major incident, Scepter4 played a huge role in it, and its functions were further enhanced. It was almost restored to the scale and power of the Blue Clan in the era of Blue King Munakata Reisi when the stone tablet was still there. However, this time there were no other clans with the same power to check and balance.
Senior Gojo Satoru learned a lot of political tactics from the head of the department, Mr. Ango, and his senior brother. He also borrowed the power of three other parties and the influence of the Gojo family, which is said to have always had a high status in the officialdom. In one fell swoop, he cleared out most of the rotten oranges and replaced them with the new generation he recognized.
Meanwhile, things were not quiet in Yokohama either. News about the "book" was circulating widely, but there was no definite information. It was always one thing after another. However, after cooperating with Scepter4 who had regained his powers, the Special Ability Agent Department was finally not so passive.
The most peaceful place was the demon hunters. Except for the occasional encounter with cursed spirits whose mission orders were wrongly assigned, the demon hunters lived a peaceful life. However, every time Yuyin tried to evade the commissioned mission, she would always be caught on the spot by her senior brother Dechang. She almost suspected that her senior brother and the senior had learned the art of teleportation.
*
A year later, Yuyin, who had already entered the first year of high school, looked back on the past year and wanted to shed a few bitter tears for herself.
Finally, even the Jujutsu world and Yokohama have calmed down.
This year's high school national competition has also ended. Although unlike last year, Hyotei lost to Rikkai University at the last minute and only got the runner-up. It took Tamane coaxing for several days for Jingwu's mood to change.
But today, Yuyin suddenly discovered that Jingwu and everyone in the tennis club seemed to be avoiding her these two days, acting a little sneaky, and no one knew what they were doing.
So, while the others weren't paying attention, she stopped Xiangri Yueren, who was most likely to let slip something, and pressed him, "Tell me, what have you been doing secretly these past few days?"
"Atobe said I can't tell you. He said I absolutely can't tell you that I'm planning to hold a grand party on Halloween and invite all my acquaintances to attend..." He was almost done when Xiang Riyue realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly covered his mouth.
Yuushi Oshitari, who had rushed over upon realizing something was amiss, looked speechlessly at his partner who had leaked the secret. He held his forehead in his hand helplessly before saying to Tamane, "Atobe might want to throw a big surprise. After all, what happened last year has left everyone with a psychological trauma, and they're afraid to participate in any Halloween activities anymore."
Xiangri Yueren said aggrievedly, "There's no need to hide it from Yuyin. She even specifically told us to keep it a secret and to avoid Yuyin from making preparations. She can't find out."
Oshitari Yuushi rubbed his chin and thought, "I don't understand why either."
"I see, it's a surprise..." Only Yuyin suddenly understood and clapped her hands, "I see, it's our first anniversary."
“Hey—!”
Mukai Taketo and Oshizuka Yuushi looked at each other and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Haven't you two been dating for a long time?"
How come it's only been a year? No matter how I calculate this time, it's wrong. Please don't pick on me because I'm bad at math!
Yuyin was stunned, and then she remembered that in order to hide the fact, she told everyone that they were dating from the beginning, and everyone in the tennis club believed it.
"Actually..." Yuyin thought for a moment and decided to tell her friends about this matter. "You all misunderstood. Jingwu and I decided to be together after the national competition, on Halloween."
“Huh?!”
Gakuto and Oshitari made surprised noises again. Oshitari thought about what Yuyin said and suddenly an idea came to his mind, "So you accepted Atobe's confession after what happened on Halloween?"
Yuyin nodded and decided to keep the matter involving the supernatural under wraps for the time being, to save some face for Jingwu.
"No wonder, no wonder..." Ozuki Yuushi pushed up his glasses, "I was wondering why Atobe took Halloween so seriously. Even if it was just to clear everyone's mind, it was too much of a fuss. Turns out it's the anniversary of your love for each other, the day you two finally got married!"
