Chapter 296 Xiaolin

Boom~

The roar of the engine gradually stopped, and the plane from the Northland stopped steadily on the long runway.

Wearing sunglasses, Asuka Kobayashi looked at the familiar scenery outside the window and was speechless.

"Miss, we are here," a middle-aged woman who looked like an assistant reminded her softly in her ear.

Asuka Kobayashi nodded, then stood up and walked towards the plane door without saying a word.

The sun in Fukuoka is much stronger than that in Hokkaido. Asuka Kobayashi subconsciously raised her hands to cover her eyes as she just stepped out of the cabin door.

It has just entered February, and the temperature here has already reached almost 20 degrees. Compared with the subzero temperature in Hokkaido, it is really different.

She was still wearing a thick winter coat in the morning, but now she had put on a thin coat.

Feeling the huge difference between the two places, Asuka Kobayashi couldn't help but think of him who was still in Hokkaido.

Shirakawa-kun, I’m serious.

"Miss"'s assistant reminded her again, causing Asuka Kobayashi to wake up from her memories.

"Let's go." Wearing sunglasses, she walked down the gangway first.

On one side of the airport runway, there were several staff members in black suits, waiting there quietly.

Asuka Kobayashi ignored them and got into the middle one of several black cars without saying a word.

Soon the people returned to the team and the car started slowly and drove out of the airport.

Asuka Kobayashi was sitting in the car with her face turned to the window, quietly watching everything on the street.

The scenes on the streets of Fukuoka outside flash past the car window without leaving any trace.

Fukuoka has also changed a lot, and every time I come here it feels like I'm in a new place.

This is true for me, and it must be even more true for old friends who have not seen Fukuoka for many years.

"Miyoko-san, go see your brother."

"Hey" the female assistant was slightly surprised.

However, when she saw Asuka Kobayashi's calm expression, she wisely asked the driver to change lanes instead of confirming again.

Soon the car they were riding in signaled and then turned into another lane, followed by several other cars.

Hirao Cemetery, near Chuo-ku, Fukuoka.

It is located halfway up a hill, overlooking the bustling streets of Fukuoka City.

The park is full of cherry trees and other flowers, plants and trees, and the environment is beautiful and quiet.

Although it is a cemetery, because of the beautiful scenery, people often walk and jog here.

The Xiaolin family has a hill of their own here as a family cemetery.

At this moment, Asuka Kobayashi gently placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone, while the female assistant and other attendants behind her stood silently not far away, watching quietly.

Ignoring the person behind her, she squatted down and reached out her hand to gently touch the young photo on the tombstone with a sad expression.

"Brother, I'm here to see you again."

The young man in the photo is handsome and looks to be only twenty-two or thirty years old. His face even bears a slight resemblance to Asuka Kobayashi.

"Time flies so fast, I will graduate from college soon. No, maybe you can say that I have already graduated.

In the past, whenever I graduated, it was the happiest day for me, because it meant that the holidays were coming.

I never had any friends in school, so I always looked forward to going home during the holidays to pester my brother.

But..." Asuka Kobayashi's eyes gradually became moist, "Ever since my brother went to study abroad, vacations are no longer as worth looking forward to as before."

Plop, tears slid down the porcelain-white cheeks, dropped to the chin, and then dripped onto the bluestone table in front of him, turning into droplets of wet marks.

"And now I say goodbye to another most important person in my life, also during the graduation season."

On the sad cheeks, tears were like broken pearls, falling drop by drop, and then shattered.

Until this moment, the sadness in Asuka Kobayashi's heart could no longer be suppressed. She buried her face in her arms and whimpered.

"I hate graduation season~" As she sobbed, she no longer had the calmness and composure she had before.

Only here did Asuka Kobayashi reveal the softest and most sensitive parts of her heart.

In the quiet spiritual garden, the sun is shining brightly, flowers and plants are luxuriant, and insects are chirping.

However, Asuka Kobayashi's mood was exactly the opposite. She lay quietly for a while before raising her head and wiping her tears.

She took one last nostalgic look at the photo in front of the tombstone. After putting on her sunglasses again, she regained her composure and solemnity.

With a slight sigh, Asuka Kobayashi turned around and left here without looking back.

"Miss, where are you going now?"

"go home"

…

Hokkaido, Otaru.

Bai Chuanfeng frowned and looked at the dignified elderly man in front of him.

Sitting on the mountain opposite him, he also observed Bai Chuanfeng carefully.

This was the first time the two met. Bai Chuanfeng didn't know Shan Shan, but Shan Shan already knew Bai Chuan Feng.

"I, Tatsuya, come from Fukuoka. Thank you, Shirakawa-san. Nice to meet you."

Shanshan bowed slowly and calmly, with a humble and polite attitude.

"Shirakawa Kaede, nice to meet you."

This is the one who just claimed outside the door that he wanted to talk to him about Asuka Kobayashi.

Without him having to ask questions, Shanshan had already spoken first.

"Miss, you have returned to Fukuoka. There is no need to worry, Shirakawa-san."

Miss? Fukuoka?

As soon as the other party spoke, Bai Chuanfeng keenly captured two key words.

However, he did not rush to ask for information about Asuka Kobayashi, but asked patiently.

"How can you prove your relationship with Asuka-chan?"

Shan Shan smiled. He did not feel offended by Bai Chuanfeng's vigilance.

On the contrary, he even had a little more appreciation. He was indeed an industrialist who was just beginning to become famous, and he maintained enough sense at all times.

"You must have read the letter that the lady left for Shirakawa-san.

Regarding her departure, the lady may not have explained it so clearly, so it is up to me to explain it to Shirakawa-san in detail."

After hearing these words, Shirakawa Kaede finally believed that the person in front of him was closely related to Asuka Kobayashi.

Regarding the letter she left for him, not even Sa Ma in this room knew about it except himself.

The fact that the other party was able to speak out about it and even hint at it shows that the "Miss" he mentioned was indeed Asuka Kobayashi.

At this time, the other party appeared here, either because of the former's entrustment, or because of her acquiescence to have the current meeting.

"Where is Asuka-chan?" Now that the identity of the other party was confirmed, Shirakawa Kaede also eagerly asked for news about Kobayashi Asuka.

The other party left in a hurry, and Bai Chuanfeng was completely unprepared.

At this moment, he had too many things to say to her, and too many questions he wanted to get answers from her.

However, unlike Shirakawa Kaede's eagerness, Shan Shan answered with a smile, "Fukuoka".

"You..." Bai Chuanfeng subconsciously wanted to stand up.

"Shirakawa-san, please be patient." Shan Shan continued to look at him with a calm expression, "There is of course a compelling reason for Miss to leave. Please sit down and listen carefully."

Boy, you've already taken advantage of enough, so don't be so aggressive.

Shan Shan actually feels aggrieved for his young lady. He likes someone but cannot be so devoted.

Therefore, when facing Bai Chuanfeng, his mood was quite complicated, with some admiration and some complaints.

Bai Chuanfeng seemed to realize that his attitude was somewhat inappropriate. He took a deep breath and slowly sat down.

"So Yamayama-san, can you tell me about Asuka-chan now?"

Shan Shan nodded with satisfaction. Although he was occasionally impulsive, young people could understand.

"I guess Shirakawa-san doesn't know much about the Kobayashi family."

Bai Chuanfeng's eyes became a little serious, and the other party's first words attracted his attention.
