Seeing that Chi Feichi did not agree directly, Karasuma Hideya guessed that Chi Feichi was still unwilling to take that kind of medicine and asked directly, "Do you still want to try to find other methods?"
"That's right," Chi Feichi also confessed, "I don't think my situation has reached the point where I need it yet. Before that, I want to find other solutions."
"Then it's up to you to seize this opportunity," Hideya Karasuma reminded, looking at Chi Feichi's eyes whose color had been changed by contact lenses, "after taking that drug, your body changes will immediately stop.
If you take that drug after losing your sight, your eyes will remain blind forever, so you'd better make a decision before your vision loss becomes severe."
"I understand." Chi Feichi lowered his eyes and responded.
…
An hour later, the cruise ship docked at Yokohama Pier.
Chi Feichi followed Karasuma Hideya off the boat, got into a stretch car and left the dock, arriving at the English-style bungalow Karasuma Hideya had mentioned.
The bungalow is located on a small road. The roadside seems to be empty and uninhabited, with only a few windows with lights on.
Under the not-so-bright street lights, this Victorian-style bungalow stood on the roadside. The red brick walls were inlaid with high and narrow windows. There was a long landscaped flower bed next to the door. This was the first thing Chi Feichi saw.
For a moment, I thought of the Field family's house in London.
The architecture of this London-style residence in the last century can definitely control Sherlock Holmes fans like Conan for several minutes. If Conan were walking on the street outside, he would definitely set his sights on this house and take a closer look curiously.
Take a look.
When Chi Feichi followed Karasuma Hideya into the house, a row of cars had already parked on the street outside. Grenz and other people in black suits were guarding the street and guarding the door.
Like the Field family's London home, the house has been maintained and refurbished inside, and is not as old as the outside might suggest.
In the living room, the original wood-colored wall panels are neat and refreshing, the furniture and carpets are brand new, the reddish-brown marble fireplace is burning firewood, and there is modern heating equipment in the corner, making the room warm as spring.
A large gilt mirror was hung on the wall above the fireplace, and the mirror reflected the gold and silver ornaments on the mantelpiece, as well as the undecorated Christmas tree in the corner of the living room.
After Chi Feichi and Karasuma Hideya entered the house, they hung string lights, garlands, bells, colorful balls and other decorations on the Christmas tree together. Finally, Chi Feichi also placed a tree-top star decorative light on the top of the Christmas tree.
, when the string lights and tree-top star decorative lights are powered on, they will light up, and the whole tree will immediately become bright and dazzling.
Although Chi Feichi felt that he had long passed the age of believing in Santa Claus, under Karasuma Hideya's insistence, he decided to accompany Karasuma Hideya to fully experience the Christmas activities. Before going to the second floor to sleep, he hung a tree next to the fireplace in the living room.
Just Christmas stockings.
Early the next morning, Chi Feichi had just washed up and went downstairs. He got his own gift box in the Christmas stocking. He carried the gift box to the restaurant and cut it open with scissors while waiting for breakfast to be served with Karasuma Hideya.
I took off the ribbon on the gift box and opened the box.
Inside the gift box, which is big enough to hold a football, is a smaller box. When you open the smaller box, you will find an even smaller box...
After Chi Feichi opened three boxes in a row, he asked in a speechless and funny tone, "Can you tell me how many more boxes I need to open before I can see the gift?"
Karasuma Hideya sat at the main seat of the dining table and said with a smile, "Be patient."
Chi Feichi opened three more boxes and finally understood what his grandfather's words of "be patient" meant.
What his grandfather wanted to say was definitely not 'be patient, we'll finish opening it soon', but 'be patient, there are still many boxes for you to open later'.
He suddenly felt that it was not entirely a bad thing that his grandfather had faked his death early after the birth of the original consciousness. At least the original consciousness would not have had the experience of being "made to cry by his grandfather's bad jokes" when he was a child.
besides……
Jane glanced over at the kitchen and smiled. Wouldn't it be a little too gloating?
Complaining in his heart, Chi Feichi put the sixth box on the chair next to him, stacked it with the other five boxes of decreasing size, and opened the small box in front of him that was only half the size of a palm.
This time there is no smaller box in the box, only a golden ring placed on a 'V' shaped display stand.
The ring has a flat circular surface with Umbrella's umbrella pattern logo engraved on it. There is a half circle of 'Umbrella' in English below, and there is a small circle of patterns on the outermost surface, which combines the umbrella pattern and 'Umbrella' in English.
Surrounded within.
The carvings on the ring are deep and clear, unlike ordinary jewelry carvings with shallow patterns. There are irregular, hand-made traces in the carvings.
"Signet ring?"
Chi Feichi saw the ring face and immediately understood the meaning of the ring.
Among British families, the signet ring is a traditional jewelry with special meaning.
The signet ring will have the family crest engraved on the ring surface, so it is not only a small accessory. Hundreds of years ago, it was also a status mark used to define identity, power and lineage. It is usually regarded as a symbol of family spirit. Generally
It is a coming-of-age celebration gift given to young people by the elders of the clan.
To this day, the great British families still retain this tradition.
The Queen of England in this world, Isabella, also wears her own signet ring when attending important occasions. At the previous knighting ceremony, Isabella wore a ring engraved with the royal emblem. When Prince Philip comes of age,
Later, Isabella will most likely order a signet ring for Philip and give it to him as a coming-of-age gift.
The last time he met Karasuma Hideya, Karasuma Hideya was also wearing a signet ring with the Karasuma family's crow family crest on his little finger. This has also been the default wearing rule for men from British aristocratic families for nearly a century - to
Signet rings are worn on the pinky finger of the non-dominant hand.
Wearing a signet ring like this is to ensure that the surface of the ring is not easily worn.
Signet rings are usually handmade. Since each handmade product is unique, the signet ring can be used as a personal seal, and the owner will naturally try to preserve his or her signet ring.
In order to ensure that the signet ring is not easily damaged and is convenient for stamping letters, the signet ring is made by mixing gold with some metal materials with higher hardness to make a plain ring with a smooth ring surface.
Although in recent years, some people have added rubies, bloodstones, and black onyx as embellishments to signet rings, the embellishments are usually inlaid on the rings, and most people still prefer to regard gold rings as formal family crest rings.
.
The gold ring in the box is a gold wedding ring.
"Although the laws of many countries now regard the age of 18 as the standard line for adulthood, a long time ago, the British coming-of-age ceremony was usually held at the age of 21. According to Japanese tradition, the coming-of-age ceremony is held at the age of 20, so
, I think it’s not too late to give you a signet ring,” Hideya Karasuma said with a smile, picked up a magnifying glass from his hand and handed it to Chi Feichi, “Look carefully at the pattern on the outer ring of the ring.
."
Chi Feichi took the magnifying glass and used it to observe the ring surface.
The circle surrounded by the Umbrella icon and the English pattern looked like an ordinary circle of garland carvings at first glance, but after being enlarged by a magnifying glass, a familiar pattern to Chi Feichi appeared in the circle.
——The three water ripples symbolizing the Makike Group and the Ike family, the wing pattern transformed from the English letter ‘F’ symbolizing the Field family, and the crow family crest symbolizing the Karasuma family.
The three patterns are connected one after another and appear in cycles, forming a circle of patterns that hide the pattern emblems of the three companies.
"I designed this signet ring. In addition to Umbrella's logo, I also hid the logos of the Chi family, the Field family, and the Karasuma family in the outer ring pattern, so that it can record your origin and
Go over," Karasuma Hideya said with a smile, "I hope you like this gift."
