Chapter 312 The main palace officer must be Okita Souji! Sanako and others must rely on him(1/4)
Stand aside!【7500】
At this time, it was dawn.
Although it is a little weird to use the words "it's dawn" at this time point, which is close to 11 o'clock at night, it is indeed the case.
The clouds diagonally above parted to both sides with a lazy amplitude and speed.
A stream of moonlight that was so white that it seemed to have a holy air mixed in it penetrated the gap between the clouds and shot into the courtyard of the Imperial Palace.
The veil of darkness is lifted.
The illuminated courtyard scenery exudes a tranquil and peaceful aura.
Everything was covered with a layer of silver frost.
The trees in the courtyard, the wild cat sleeping soundly on the wooden courtyard wall, the verandah that was spotless since Abi and Inoue came to clean it every day, and Qingden's face full of surprise.
Although Okita Hikaru's words have completely fallen, and the sound waves have dispersed into countless particles that have melted into the air, Qingto's ears seem to have been equipped with a repeater, reading the words Okita Hikaru just said.
Back and forth, replayed over and over again.
In the silence as if time and space suddenly stopped, that smart and slender high ponytail, that smile that always reminds people of the sun, the girl who was previously regarded as a good brother by Qingdeng and later changed to a good sister
The appearance appeared in front of Qingdeng's eyes and in Qingdeng's mind uncontrollably.
——Okita-kun...likes me very much...?
The brain asks questions to itself sluggishly.
A confused look dominated Qingdeng's face.
Okita Hikaru observed Qingto's expression the whole time.
After noticing the complex expression on Qingto's face that was a mixture of confusion, shock, and confusion, Okita Hikaru seemed to find it interesting, and the corners of his mouth were raised into a smile.
"Oh, it seems... Mr. Tachibana, you really don't have the consciousness in this regard."
After saying that, the happy smile on Okita Hikari's face changed into an expression of regret that was half true and half false. He let out a long sigh that sounded like he was feeling sorry for something.
"Well... should I tell you..."
Okita Hikaru stretched out his green-white right index finger, held his tight chin without any fat, and looked up at the sky.
This kind of romantic action is more suitable for energetic girls like Souji and Elodie.
It would be very weird for a mature lady who is nearly 30 years old to do this kind of action.
But the strange thing is that this action is unexpectedly suitable for Okita Hikari's body, and there is no sense of violation at all.
"Forget it, I've already been honest with you anyway, there's no need to be secretive about this kind of thing anymore."
"I forgot the specific time, but it was in August anyway... It was probably before Yongjun's wedding started, and you hadn't suggested to me to 'pay good attention to Xiaosi', Xiaosi told me: She is good
like you."
Qingdeng was shocked when he heard this.
Okita-kun said personally that she likes me very much? And she said it so early?
Before I suggested to Okita Hikaru to take a good look at Souji... wasn't this just before I discovered that Souji was a girl?
Okita Hikaru continued to whisper softly, and Aoden listened carefully with a feeling of apprehension.
"At that time, I had a serious quarrel with Xiao Si because I persuaded him to give up kendo."
"During a certain quarrel, I don't know how the two sisters quarreled. The topic unknowingly turned to Xiao Si's marriage."
"Ju-kun, you also know that Xiao Si is already 16 years old this year. For girls, this is an age where they can consider marriage and which man they should marry."
"So I casually asked Xiao Si: Is there any man you have fallen in love with?"
"Xiao Si replied to me: No, she has no plans to get married at the moment."
"Although I was not very familiar with you because I had just met you, but I already admired your personality and talent very much."
"So I asked Xiao Si half-jokingly: 'Why don't you consider Mr. Orange? I think Mr. Orange is a very good person. He is about the same age as you. He is still single at the moment. The relationship with you is also very good. If you two
It would be nice to be married."
"Then...guess how Xiao Si reacted?"
Okita Hikaru opened his eyes wide, moved his face closer to Qingteng, and asked Qingteng with his eyes: "Guess what?", his eyes flickered with a hint of ridicule.
Qingdeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying:
"Miss Guang, isn't it too deceptive to sell off such a crucial part?"
Tonight's conversation lasted longer than any previous conversation between Aoto and Okita Hikaru.
Thanks to this long conversation tonight, Qingnobu's understanding of Okita Hikaru has deepened a little bit more.
It was only now that Qingto was shocked to realize that Okita Hikari actually had such a... little devil side.
Previously, Qingto had always thought that the personalities of the two sisters, Okita Hikaru and Souji, were very different. The former was a mature and calm elder sister, while the latter was a cheerful and lively sunny girl.
Now it seems that this idea is completely wrong.
Okita Hikaru, who always presents himself as a "mature social person", also has a very naughty and playful side, much like Souji.
When Miss Hikaru was young, she should have been a playful girl like Okita-kun who loved playing and pranks... Qingto couldn't help but think to himself.
"I occasionally think I might have a talent as a storyteller."
After making a small joke, Okita Mitsu took a deep breath and straightened his back as if he was preparing to announce some very important news.
"Xiao Si didn't speak immediately at that time - she was just stunned on the spot."
"Then, her whole face turned red. It took a while before she came back to her senses and scolded me: Sister, what are you talking about? Jun Ju and I are just ordinary good friends.
That’s all.”
"Xiao Si's rhetoric may be able to deceive others, but it cannot deceive me as her sister who was also young at the same time."
"I can tell at a glance - Xiao Si's feelings for you are absolutely extraordinary. If she didn't like you very much, she would never show such an expression."
"If she really only regards you as an ordinary friend with pure feelings, she will definitely laugh at me: Sister, you are overthinking, while taking out the Jinping Candy from her arms to eat."
When Qingdeng heard this, he got a clue.
"Wait a minute, Miss Guang, it seems that Souji didn't say that she likes me so much."
"Tangerine-kun."
Okita Hikaru looked at Aoden with a look that said, "You don't understand, do you?"
"What's the difference between Xiao Si's expression at that time and telling me directly: 'I really like Tachibana Aoden'?"
After saying that, Okita Hikaru ignored Qingto's dumbfounded expression, raised his arms above his head, and stretched hard.
"Okay... let's end the long story-telling session here."
"Tangerine-kun, let's talk about your thoughts."
"I've been honest, now it's your turn to tell the truth."
"What are you talking about?" Qingto certainly understood what Okita Hikari meant by "talk about your thoughts."
But that topic is really difficult to answer.
It was so difficult to answer that Qingdeng instinctively chose to escape.
"Don't act stupid."
Okita feigned anger.
"You must know what I'm referring to - tell me, what do you think of Xiao Si?"
Okita Hikaru paused for a moment, then quickly added:
"To prevent you from pretending to be stupid again, let me put it more simply and directly - do you like Xiao Si?"
After finishing speaking, Okita Hikari stopped talking and waited quietly for Qingto's answer.
The courtyard is surrounded by silence that can hear a needle drop.
Qingdeng felt as if all the joints in his body were bound by chains and were extremely stiff.
--So this is ah……
The logic is all clear.
The causes of all the problems have been clarified.
——She is indeed an intellectual woman full of reason...
Qingdeng half-closed his eyes, inhaled with a hiss, silently feeling ashamed of his previous misunderstanding.
When Okita Hikaru suddenly made a violent comment about "Let's get married to Koji", Aoto thought that Okita Hikaru had drunk too much and was talking nonsense.
As a result...this is not some drunken gibberish, this is completely an extremely rational and well-informed opinion!
Okita Hikaru's abacus is really cracking!
Now Qingdeng is not short of money, connections or social status.
To be continued...
