The next day Asakii arrived in Osaka, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. The winter in Tokyo is not too cold, and there are occasional snowfalls, but in Tokyo, where there are many high-rise buildings, snowflakes actually don't have much of a presence. Asakii used to
After staying in Hokkaido for two years, it snowed endlessly in winter, covering the entire city in a world of ice and snow. It was beautiful, but it only stayed in his clear memory. After taking over the Watanabe Society, he never
I have never returned to Hokkaido, but have stayed in Tokyo all year round.
The housekeeper and Qianqing were very familiar with each other, and they chatted casually for a few words before retreating to do their own business. After all, Qianqing was considered a regular visitor here, so he could just go in by himself.
Zixuan stands in the courtyard. There is a small man-made pond in the courtyard. There are some koi fish of different sizes. Probably because of the winter, they are not very flexible, but the koi fish from Japan are considered
It is a relatively cold-tolerant fish species, especially in Osaka, where winter is not too cold.
He is a person who is not afraid of the cold. Even in the cold weather, he was sitting idle by the pond, reaching into the pond to tease the koi fish. The fish that were originally a little lazy and did not want to move were attacked by him, and they immediately panicked.
He fled in all directions and fled directly to the other side, looking at Zixuan eagerly, with a defensive look, which made him chuckle.
It turns out that not only people, but even small koi fish also have a sense of crisis.
Yesterday, Takahashi Kazuya invited him to a banquet. He went to the Hongmen Banquet alone without any worries. He was actually a little curious that he could receive news about his low-key appearance in Japan.
He is indeed a figure not to be underestimated.
The trouble Mrs. Suzuki mentioned about Watanabe Club was probably caused by this guy.
Speaking of which, he and Gao Qiao have known each other for a long time. They trained together and were considered outstanding among the students at that time. If it weren't for Zixuan, he might also be considered a legend. But people
Often, only the first place can be remembered. Even if the second place is equally outstanding, its light will be overshadowed by the first place. This is the case at any time, without exception.
Therefore, Takahashi's politeness and humility to him yesterday made him believe that this Takahashi was a troublesome person.
A person with outstanding abilities is not scary. What is scary is that this person also has a calm mind and a humble and forbearing attitude, just like Qiu Zixuan.
It can be said that the conditions proposed by Takahashi were so amazing that they could not be refused, and also surprised Zixuan. Zixuan was not aware of the increasingly fierce competition in the Watanabe Society, and the news sent to him by Liujin at night surprised him even more
, from the point of view of strength, Takahashi and Asakiyo are comparable, so why would he use such attractive conditions to invite him to join?
Obviously, Zixuan's joining is just the icing on the cake, and Takahashi doesn't seem like such a careless person.
The strangest thing is that Takahashi seems to be very confident, so where does his confidence come from?
Zixuan looked at the koi fish thoughtfully, as if they were competing to see who could surrender first.
When Qianqing passed by the courtyard, he saw such a situation and couldn't help but be slightly startled. The warm sunshine in winter shone softly on Zixuan's body. His light-colored shirt looked quite thin, and there was a layer of hair under his black hair.
The delicate face and the slightly raised corners of the mouth make people think about it, and they want to share with him the scenes that make him smile.
All in all, they haven't seen each other for many years. Even though Qianqing has been constantly making trouble for Zixuan this year, he has always been hiding behind the scenes and never showed up. He has to wait for Zixuan to come to him on his own initiative. And this day
, appeared so suddenly, and the calm and indifferent young man in his memory has become the mature man he is now.
"Brother Zixuan." It was a name that was almost thoughtless. Qianqing regretted it as soon as he opened his mouth. That was the name many years ago. Uncle Yi said that he was a senior and should use honorifics. Japanese people are always special.
Paying attention to the principle of seniority, even though he disliked Zixuan very much at that time, he could only call him this way, but he never expected that so many years later, he would still habitually call him this way.
Hearing such a call, Zixuan was just stunned for a moment and then returned to his natural state.
Since leaving Japan, it has indeed been many years since I heard anyone call him this, a name that carries a hint of anger but also contains a soft and youthful atmosphere. But I didn't expect that Qianqing would still remember what happened so many years ago.
"Go inside, aren't you afraid of the cold?" In a calm tone, Zixuan walked over, as if he was not at all cold because of his thin clothes.
In a daze, Qianqing suddenly remembered that they were sent to Hokkaido for training that winter.
It was a simulated wilderness survival training, and their chills may have been left over from that year. In the heavy snow that was flying all over the sky, they walked hard on the thick snow. As long as they survived three days and found the mission
The three things required were enough to pass the test. But by the next day, Qianqing developed a high fever, his whole body was hot, and he was unconscious. He and Zixuan were in the same group, and they hadn't found those three things yet. Others considered
Leaving Qianqing alone and waiting for them to find the mission item before coming back to pick him up, some people also considered sending a signal directly to the coaching staff to ask Qianqing to withdraw from the test. Although Qianqing was confused by the fever, his brain was awake.
He was just too weak to speak, but he still tried hard to hold himself up and wanted to move forward with everyone, because once he quit the test, it meant that he lost the opportunity to continue training.
To put it simply, this is a knockout competition to select the best elites for individual training.
Zixuan was the only one, standing there for a long time with pursed lips, without saying a word. At the end, he threw Qianqing's package to his friend who was traveling with him, then he carried Qianqing on his back and walked forward in silence. Seeing him
In this way, the other team members stopped talking. After all, the team leader had done this, and they had nothing to complain about. They were just worried in private that it would be difficult to persevere to the end even without weight-bearing on such a long journey, let alone
Zixuan is now carrying a man weighing 75 kilograms.
They completed the task very well. They were the first group to find the task items and reach the finish line without leaving anyone behind, which was praised by the coaching staff. But after returning to the room, Zixuan fell ill. The doctor said that he had
He had been sick for two days, and it was unbelievable that he could complete the task with such a body. Of course, what the doctor didn't know was that Zixuan not only completed the task, but also carried the same fever on his back during the two days he was sick.
Qianqing walked for two days.
What happened after that was actually very blurry, but Qian Qing would always remember the moment when Zixuan carried him on his back. He suddenly wanted to cry. What kind of strong heart did this man who had always been regarded as his competitor have? Qian Qing
In her daze, Qing heard his soft words, "I will never give up on anyone," and then tasted her own tears for the first time, which were salty and astringent.
"What are you thinking about? Standing in the wind, isn't it cold?" Zixuan had already walked to the door of the room. Seeing that Qian Qing didn't follow him, he looked back strangely at Qian Qing, who was standing there in a daze.
Quickly regaining consciousness, Qianqing immediately lifted her heels and hurried into the house, only to find that her hands were as cold as ice, slightly red, and shivering unseenly.
"Cover your hands." Zixuan handed over a warm hand warmer bag. It wasn't too hot and was just right for covering your hands.
Silently taking the hand warmer bag, Qian Qing felt that the warmth from his palms made his whole body warm up. He stared at the thing in his hand and was stunned.
Ling, who was standing aside, looked at Qiu Zixuan opposite without any trace. It turned out that he was Ye Shura, the man who once saved his life, the man who told him that "being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself", and what he imagined.
He is a totally different guy. What surprised him most was the relationship between him and Qianqing. It was like an elder brother taking care of his younger brother. He was natural, casual, considerate, and unpretentious. It seemed that there was really no way for such a man to truly
became disgusted.
It seems that I have a little understanding of Qianqing.
Zero thought silently in his heart, if it were him, and he was completely suppressed by such a perfect man when he was young, he would probably be unwilling to accept it. And the most resentful thing is that this man is facing his own jealousy and
When he was disgusted, he didn't even take it to heart at all, as if he was just a troubled child, and he was allowed to make trouble, but he didn't care.
The resentment of being ignored gradually turned into hatred, and became his motivation to work hard to become stronger, just to make the other party look at him squarely and no longer regard himself as an ignorant child. All he wanted was a fair and equal opportunity to prove
He was no worse than him, proving that he could be as good as him. But the other party left in a hurry without even leaving a trace of his back. That's why Qianqing kept making trouble for Zixuan so angrily and wanted to get it.
His attention is like a child who is ignored by his parents and keeps making noises to attract their attention.
"Why, you went through all the trouble to find me in Japan, don't you have anything to say?" Zixuan made himself a cup of coffee. He actually had no interest in tea ceremony. He preferred simple things, but because he spent a few days in Japan
Years old, so he has little knowledge of tea ceremony, but even so, he still doesn't like such complicated procedures.
While speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Qian Qing. His left hand was unconsciously turning the ring on the middle finger of his right hand. This was his habit. When he was cramped or nervous, he would make some small movements to divert his attention.
Attention, maybe even he himself didn't know he had such a little move.
