Chapter 156 The marriage of Tachibana Aoden and Okita Souji [5400]
"So——"
Qingdeng continued the words in a firm tone.
"I want to marry you... all four of us."
"I don't plan to say too many disgusting words that will make people's skin crawl. Anyway, can you give me a chance?"
"Let me be your support."
"Let me bring you happiness."
A confession without any pretense.
Although he has no skills, he is full of emotions.
This is in line with Qingdeng's personality that he doesn't like to talk in a roundabout way, but only likes to talk about things.
Kinoshita Mai, Chiba Sanako, Okita Souji... Marry the girls you love and live a happy life with them - Aoto's determination is very serious!
In order to achieve this goal, which is not difficult and ambitious in the eyes of outsiders, the first and most difficult problem to solve is how to convince those three girls.
To put it simply: How can three girls with very different personalities, each with a strong personality, marry Qingdeng together willingly?
If this problem is not solved, nothing else can be discussed.
So, just as Qingteng said just now, he will take advantage of this rare opportunity to show his cards directly to the General Secretary! Directly reveal his... true intentions and "ambitions"!
To be honest, as soon as he said the words, Qingden was already prepared to be rolled his eyes, or even scolded and slapped angrily by the chief executive.
After all...there are lessons learned from past mistakes!
Recalling the time when he gave a similar confession to Kinoshita Mai and Sanako... Although the two of them did not engage in any extreme behavior such as beating or scolding, they still showed... indescribable expressions to Qingnobo.
Aomori still remembers the looks that Sanako and Mai Kinoshita gave him at that time, as if to say "Hey, aren't you..."...
Although Aoto didn't think that Souji, who had a cheerful and energetic personality, would do anything more outrageous than Sanako and Mai Kinoshita, for the sake of safety, it was better to prepare for the worst.
There is a saying: the more positive a person is in daily life, the easier it is for him to become evil.
This kind of people are fine if they don't turn black. Once they turn black... they will often reveal a rather terrifying side...
As a result, Qingdeng did not wait for the "violent storm".
What he was waiting for... was "bright sunshine".
"...Pfft."
Souji blinked his beautiful eyes blankly a few times, then covered his mouth with his hand in a cute gesture.
A sweet laughter like a silver bell leaked out from between the lips, teeth and fingers of the Souji.
This string of laughter seemed to contain a different kind of magic power. It floated gently and melodiously around Aomori and Souji, bringing a refreshing atmosphere to this quiet room surrounded by night.
"Ji Jun, I saw your serious face and thought you were going to say something. It turns out you just wanted to talk about this."
Qingdeng opened his mouth dumbfounded.
——Miss Okita...did you understand what I just said?
In order to confirm the answer to this question, Qingdeng lowered his voice and asked tentatively:
"Um...Miss Okita, did you hear clearly what I just said?"
"Huh? Of course I heard you clearly."
The Souji tilted his head and continued with a matter-of-fact expression:
"I'm not deaf, so if you sit right in front of me, there's no chance that you can't hear your voice clearly at such a short distance, right?"
"Isn't it because you like me? Sanako and Miss Kinoshita want the four of us to get married together and live a life together without being ashamed."
The last two modifiers: sleeping together and being shameless are redundant...
Other than that, the content is generally correct.
The DG's reaction was too calm.
It was so calm that Qingden was surprised.
"Ji Jun, I am quite good at observing people's emotions."
Souji seemed to see through Qingdeng's doubts at this moment. She seemed to chew every word and said slowly:
"I noticed a long time ago, Mr. Tachibana, that the way you looked at Sanako and Miss Kinoshita was very different from the way you looked at other people."
"So I guessed: Tachibana-kun, you probably like Sanako and Miss Kinoshita."
"Now it seems that it is really the case."
The Souji smiled brightly and then changed into a teasing tone.
"Ji Jun, you are so greedy~~ You actually want to marry so many girls at once."
"Openness in word and deed is one of my greatest strengths."
After making a witty remark that was neither salty nor light, Qingdeng let out a long breath.
"So...Miss Okita, what is your answer?"
"Huh?"
"Are you willing to marry me on the condition that I will marry another girl?"
Qingden looked straight into the eyes of the General Secretary.
A posture that will never give up until a clear answer is obtained.
The General Secretary no longer avoided looking at Qingdeng out of shyness as he did just now.
Her eyes, which are so clear that one can't help but think of the clear summer sky, clearly reflected Qingdeng's figure.
"Ju Jun, let me ask one more question: Since you want to marry so many girls, who do you want to make your wife?"
Qingdeng shook his head without any hesitation:
"There is no main wife... No, that's not right, everyone is the main wife."
"Everyone is the royal wife?" the chief executive raised his eyebrows.
"You are all the girls I love. If any of you are left out or wronged, it will make me feel heartache. Therefore, I don't want to behave like the main wife and the side room, and I will never do that.
Excessive preference for any one of you, all of you are equal, and no one will be superior or inferior in the 'Orange Family'."
"Not standing at attention in the side room... Mr. Tachibana, what you are doing is already going against common sense."
"So what?"
Qingden grinned nonchalantly.
"We are not the first wife, but at the same time we are all the first wife... Hahaha, this approach is very unique to you."
The commander-in-chief laughed heartily.
Just then, when Souji's laughter gradually stopped...she suddenly changed the subject:
"But... is this really good?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Put me, Sanako, and Miss Kinoshita as the principal wives, and let me be on an equal footing with them... Are you really sure you want to do this?"
"Of course it's confirmed. Didn't I tell you everything? I won't let anyone have an too high or too low status in the 'Tachibana family'. Miss Okita, why do you suddenly ask this?"
Qingdeng frowned in confusion.
"..."
Souji bit his lip with wandering eyes.
"...Tachibana-kun, you are so considerate."
"Considerate?"
Qingdeng recalled for a moment, unable to think of anything he had just done that could be called "considerate."
"When you proposed to me, you actually thoughtfully mentioned: You will marry other girls... You don't need to say so much to people like me."
——A person like me?
Qingnobo keenly felt that Souji's current mood seemed a bit... strange.
"I'm not the only one for you... To be honest, this really makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
"But, who am I to interfere with your marriage?"
The Souji showed a... quite charming expression that was mixed with self-deprecation and helplessness.
"Tachibana-kun, you have become the world-famous 'Benevolent King', but I... am still that ordinary girl with no talents except swordsmanship."
"It is only normal for a talented person like you to have three wives and four concubines, and to marry a girl who is more attractive and outstanding than me."
"You didn't treat me differently just because I was an ordinary girl. Instead, you said you liked me... To say you were flattered might be an exaggeration, but it really surprised me."
"After all, you see."
Souji chuckled and stretched out his arms in a "show me everything" look.
"In terms of appearance, figure, family background...I can't compare to Sanako and Miss Kinoshita."
"I'm neither as cute as Miss Kinoshita nor as beautiful as Sanako."
"She is not as petite and cute as Miss Kinoshita, nor is she as graceful as Sanako."
"Miss Kinoshita has never revealed her family background to me. She has only mentioned that she is an adopted orphan. But judging from Miss Kinoshita's daily conversation, I guess... no, I am the one who adopted Miss Kinoshita.
A family is definitely not a small family."
"Not to mention Sanako, she is one of the few eldest ladies in the martial arts world in the whole country. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery and weaving, and is capable of both literature and martial arts. She is the perfect name for 'Nadeshiko'
Incarnation.”
"And I... am just an ordinary lower-level warrior's daughter."
"Not only do I not have a distinguished background, but I also lost my parents when I was young. I relied on my sister to raise me."
"Other than that, I haven't received a very good education. Let alone etiquette and art, I don't even know Chinese characters, and I can't even read the Analects of Confucius fluently."
"My only merit worth mentioning is my swordsmanship."
"In terms of female charm, I can't compare to Miss Kinoshita and Sanako."
"So, I was really surprised when I heard Tachibana-kun say, 'You like me, Sanako and Miss Kinoshita.'"
"There is a feeling of 'how can a person like me be compared with these two girls', hahahaha..."
"Ah, it seems like I'm off topic. Hahaha, let's get back to the topic."
The commander-in-chief sat upright, then took a deep breath, his eyes shining with tenderness.
"In short - Tachibana-kun, if you don't mind it... I am willing to cook miso soup for you for the rest of my life!"
"Then...just do what you want to do without worrying about me."
"You are willing to marry me, which makes me feel great joy and honor. I will not... nor dare to ask for more."
After saying that, the chief executive showed a sweet smile.
Although she concealed it very well... Qingdeng still found the hint of forced smile in the corners of her mouth, eyebrows and other places.
Especially when the General Secretary mentioned the passage about "having a bad background and losing her parents at a young age", Qingden, with his good eyesight, clearly noticed that her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth were slightly drooped, and a faint look appeared in her eyes.
sad.
In an instant, Qingdeng's face was full of surprise.
This was the first time he had seen Souji display such a lack of confidence...or in other words, such a low self-esteem.
Souji, who is synonymous with "optimism" and "cheerful", actually has low self-esteem?
When you think about it, it's incredible.
But after thinking about it carefully, I was surprised to realize that this is not impossible.
The General Secretary rarely talks about his family behind him in front of outsiders.
Even if I mention it, I won't talk much about it.
She would always talk about all the topics related to her family and relatives with a smile.
Over time, Qingto even unconsciously ignored a very cruel fact: Souji's original family... is a tragedy.
I have almost never experienced fatherly and motherly love.
She lives with her two sisters who are not much older than her.
The Souji who grew up in such an environment... Needless to say, his family is financially strapped.
Compared with the physical suffering, the mental pain may be more painful for Souji.
Don't underestimate the impact of "parental love" on children.
Happy people are healed by childhood throughout their lives; unhappy people are healed by childhood throughout their lives.
The absence of parents can easily lead to character defects and even psychological distortions in children as they grow up.
This is why people who come from families that have lost relatives often embark on the road of illegality and crime.
Although he came from an unfortunate family, he was not knocked down by the pain of life. Instead, he lived a positive and cheerful life... People like Souji are rare.
However, although Souji usually looks like "my misfortunes in my childhood have not affected me at all", judging from the drooped eyebrows and droopy expression she showed just now... the real situation does not seem to be like this.
Feast
At this thought, Qingdeng pursed his lips in annoyance - he was annoyed by his naive thoughts in the past.
Before, he had always taken it for granted that Souji was a "human angel" who knew nothing about sorrow and depression, and even the tragic experience in her childhood could not dim her smile.
Naive... so naive...
At this moment, Qing Deng suddenly realized that the idea he had always held was too naive.
Even a "humanoid angel" like Souji cannot avoid the influence of his original family on him, and he will feel inferior to his origin...
One mouthful of "people like me"...
Ashamed to put myself in the same position as Kinoshita Mai and Sanako...
I feel that I am not qualified to put forward my own thoughts and opinions to Qingdeng...
Qingden looked deeply at the DG.
In a short time, he turned his overflowing emotions into sounds:
"...Miss Okita, you seem to have made a mistake."
"Huh?"
The director looked confused.
In the next breath, confusion turned to surprise.
"ah!"
Qingden opened his arms, hugged the general secretary involuntarily, and put his hand around her back to caress her gently.
"Although you have reduced yourself to nothing...but in my eyes, the 'light' in you is not inferior to Miss A Wu and Sanako."
"?!"
Souji, who was unable to move due to being hugged by Qingtou, struggled to get his little head out from between Qingteng's arms, and looked into Qingtou's eyes in surprise.
Facing the Souji's gaze, the lines on Aonto's face gradually softened.
"After I realized that you are no longer just an 'ordinary friend' to me, I have been thinking about a question: When did I fall in love with you?"
"Even for a long time after I discovered your true gender, I regarded you as my most important friend."
"I haven't figured out the reason for this problem until now."
"However, I got a very clear answer to another question - why do I fall in love with you?"
Qingdeng's cheeks relaxed further, the corners of his mouth also relaxed, and he continued with a smile:
"The answer is surprisingly simple - I am fascinated by your smile."
"Smile?" Souji opened his mouth blankly.
"Well. Miss Okita, has no one told you? Your smile is beautiful."
"This...there are indeed many people who have said similar things..."
The chief murmured.
"Look, don't you have other advantages besides swordsmanship?"
"But! Can having a nice smile be called an advantage?"
The director-general argued anxiously.
"Miss Okita, your smile is more than just pretty."
Qingdeng shook his head quietly.
"In addition to being beautiful, your smiling face also has a strange magical power. I don't know what other people think, but after seeing your smiling face, I always feel happy unconsciously."
"I'm trying to think of a better way to describe it...ah, yes! Contagious!"
"Ms. Okita, your smile is so contagious! It can unknowingly drive other people's emotions to change in a positive direction, making sad people less sad and happy people happier."
"You are like sunshine... wherever you are, it is warm."
"I have been touched by your smile countless times."
"Your smile, your liveliness and cheerfulness fascinate me deeply."
"So... stop belittling yourself like that, stop saying 'people like me'."
"I'm not big-hearted enough to like a useless guy who has nothing but his face and swordsmanship."
"Be confident, Okita-san... No! Okita-san has a charming charm that can dazzle Tachibana!"
"I admit: The reason why I want to marry so many girls is to satisfy my personal desires."
"But! Before my personal desire can be satisfied, there is a prerequisite that must be met, and that is that all of you must be sincerely willing to marry me together!"
"I hope that after you marry me, in the next few years and when you are about to die, you can sincerely feel that it is very happy to be my wife together!"
"If this condition is not met... I would rather be alone for the rest of my life!"
"If you feel wronged by having to serve the same man with another woman, just say it, I won't mind."
"I will not be discouraged by any of your answers."
"I will continue to work hard."
"I will make myself stronger."
"I'll make you like me even more."
"One day... I will make you all willingly cook miso soup for me for the rest of your life!"
Qingden tightened his arms to hug the general secretary.
The force was so strong that it seemed as if he was trying to rub Souji into his body and become one with her.
After Qingteng finished speaking, he and Souji were once again surrounded by silence.
In this silence... the Souji raised his head with the overflowing thoughts.
"Tangerine-kun...you are so cunning..."
I saw the director's eyes were red and full of tears.
Tears fell down his cheeks in front of Qingdeng.
"You've already mentioned this..."
The Souji sobbed and took a deep breath.
"How do you want me to answer..."
Suddenly, Qingdeng felt that the light in front of his eyes was blocked. Then, his lips felt blocked by something soft...
…
…
The white crescent moon peeked out from the thin clouds.
As if unfurling a shimmering silver sword, the moonlight shot in through the gap in the window like a white blade, illuminating the young men and women sitting on the tatami.
……阘
That night, Qingteng stayed with the general manager.
The two spent a long time together...
