More than a month has passed since the Spring Festival.
Ouyang stayed motionless in the villa. Except for occasionally getting up to look for food and a few rare shopping trips, he spent the rest of his time sleeping.
Like a hibernating tortoise.
On this day, the sun had just risen, and Linghua got up quietly as usual.
The Spring Festival activities have already ended.
Logically speaking, Xue Lian's incident is over. Even if the Shenli family needs to communicate with Ouyang, there is no need to let her serve as a bridge.
But things are unpredictable. She and Ayato were among the few people who witnessed the whole incident on Ganjin Island.
Although the distance was too far, I couldn't see the situation clearly in detail.
But the golden light that penetrated the sky and the earth, and the shattered Ganjin Island after the battle, all refreshed the brother and sister's understanding of Ouyang's strength.
The feeling of powerlessness in the face of absolutely powerful strength made the brother and sister experience the family's ancestral motto for the first time - only gods cannot be enemies!
Is Ouyang a god?
Ayaka doesn't know.
But these are not the main reasons for her staying. The main reason is that after the Ganjin Island incident, the Kamisato family was even more unable to leave Ouyang as their ally.
There can be no airtight walls in the world.
Ordinary people may have various guesses about what exactly happened on Ganjin Island, but the big families with various information channels will not!
The heads of the Kujo family and the Hiiragi family basically found out the general ins and outs of the matter through credible channels the next day.
And when they were all shocked that Ouyang was really so powerful, some unexpected surprises also appeared.
Under the water, a wave of opinions against the dominance of the Kamisato family began to spread.
They are all members of small families, so small that they cannot even enter the banquet venue of the Spring Festival.
These families are not conspicuous individually, and the positions held by Inazuma are also at the grassroots level. They have just crossed the threshold of the power class, but they are all ants who can be manipulated by others.
The only difference from ordinary people is that they have an official coat.
It was originally unremarkable.
But after the Ganjin Island incident, these small families gathered together and contacted the Kujo family and the Hiiragi family.
We plan to unite to fight against the current prestige of the Kamisato family!
The reason they gave is very simple. Ouyang is from Liyue and does not belong to Daoji. The Shenli family is betraying the country by using Ouyang to pave the way and step up to high positions!
Regarding this, Kamisato Ayato knew very well that this force was just the Inazuma family's consistent way of survival.
Whether they are traitors or not, these own generals judged that these small families just saw the hope of rising and used this as an excuse to want to rise to power.
But precisely because of this, the Shenli family is now even more inseparable from Ouyang.
Therefore, in order to show the closeness of the alliance, Ayaka still lives in the Sky Villa.
Even Ayato no longer blocks some rumors related to it - Ayahua is already Ouyang's person.
After understanding part of Ayaka's thoughts, Ayato reluctantly acquiesced.
The perspective returns to Ayaka who got up early.
Today, she was dressed in regular clothes, with her hair loose and not tied up in a ponytail as usual.
Without applying makeup, she seemed to regard this place as her own home, casual and comfortable.
As usual, no one was in the living room.
The previous two witches who took care of daily life have been "persuaded" by Ouyang.
The reason makes no sense - there are not enough rooms.
Now, the three bedrooms on the second floor are occupied by Ouyang, Shen He, Yao Shenzi, and Xue Lian respectively.
The guest room downstairs was actually sufficient, but at Ouyang's inexplicable request, the two witches had to leave.
In fact, Linghua understands that Ouyang is just reminding her to leave in disguise.
The purpose of trying to persuade the miko to retreat is not to embarrass both parties.
But the stubborn Linghua didn't want to leave. Quan acted as if he didn't understand and stayed.
Ayaka hummed the song of Inazuma in her mouth, and walked to the kitchen leisurely to prepare herself breakfast.
As soon as I opened the door, I found that someone was already inside.
"Miss Xue Lian?"
"Huh?" Xue Lian, who was busy, turned her head when she heard this, smiled and said hello: "Good morning, Miss Linghua."
"I don't need to bother you with breakfast today. I think the kitchen has enough materials and I want to try making some Liyue delicacies."
"You can try it together then."
"Is this?" Linghua asked with a blush on her face as she listened, "Yes, is it because the breakfast I made before was not delicious, so you came down to cook it yourself today?"
The little girl guessed quite accurately.
The smile on Xue Lian's face did not change. Naturally, she would not really poke at the other person's soft spots, but would naturally change the subject.
"Nothing, Ouyang has been in Daoji for a long time and wanted to eat some Liyue delicacies. I happened to know some, so I did it."
"Then, I'll look forward to Miss Xue Lian's craftsmanship!"
Ayaka looks very cute with her hands clasped together and her head tilted.
Xue Lian saw it in her eyes, shook her head and said, "Even if it's something simple, it still depends on whether it suits your taste. I hope you won't dislike it when the time comes."
"How is that possible?" Linghua quickly shook her head, "How about I come to help?"
Xue Lian was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but she still nodded and said: "Okay!"
"Thanks!"
Ayaka looked very happy after receiving the permission.
Just as the two of them were busy working in the kitchen and chatting, the kitchen door opened again.
Shen He walked in holding the little fox.
She looked at the two people who were busy and said, "There is no need to cook Ouyang's breakfast. He is too fast asleep to wake him up."
"Huh?" Xue Lian asked strangely, "Is the head of the family still asleep?"
"Well, I tried to wake him up, but there was no response. He was too sleepy." Shen He frowned slightly, answering with a hint of dissatisfaction and worry on his face.
"I don't know much about his situation. He has been sleeping frequently this month, and the time has been getting longer and longer every time. I'm a little worried."
"You should be fine, right?" Linghua looked at Shen He and asked with a worried expression.
Shen He shook his head and said nothing.
Xue Lian also put down her work at this time.
She picked up a piece of cloth and wiped her hands while asking.
"Can I go take a look?"
"That's fine." Shen He knew that Xue Lian had learned medical skills on the Beidou ship, but she didn't know exactly what her abilities were.
But they are a family after all, so it doesn't matter if she goes to see them.
The two were about to go to the master bedroom, but at this moment Linghua asked weakly: "Can I go and have a look too?"
Um?
Xue Lian looked back at Linghua, wanting to agree casually.
But suddenly he seemed to realize something, and turned to look at Shen He, wanting to wait for her to decide.
Holding the little fox that was commotion in her arms, Shen He looked back at Linghua, his eyes were neither sad nor happy, and there was no trace of happiness or anger.
"If you want to see it, then come together."
After saying that, she walked out of the kitchen first.
This chapter was originally planned to be written in detail about the situation of Rice Wife, but it was cut down later. The story of Rice Wife was too long, and I planned to let the protagonist suffer after the ending. It has always been too strong and I can't hold it back anymore.
