[King of Nets_Trails] Birds and Fish

Chapter 74 [Vol.024] Cage

*

Saturday is the death day of Feiyue.

When I woke up, the bedside was empty, I closed my eyes and thought for a while, and then I vaguely remembered that today is the death day of Feiyue.At this time, I was a little more sober than Keigo Atobe, but I only remembered soberly that the man had been gone for many years.

The little princess of the Atobe Zaibatsu, now the younger sister of the Atobe Zaibatsu’s head, Indenbe Keigo, and the girlfriend of the world’s number one professional tennis player Echizen Ryoma, who bought the first painting from me and smiled at me. The little girl who died was only eighteen when she died.

It has been ten years now.

I visit her every year in the cemetery, and this time was no exception.

Keigo Atobe never went there once, and he still refused to admit it.I don't think he will go this year either.

He should be in the study by now, he always does his best to keep the day busy.Sure enough, I saw him who was processing the documents. He didn't look up, and said in a flat tone: "Get up."

"Ah."

"Breakfast is prepared on the dinner table." He took a meal, "It's your favorite Japanese food."

"I'm going to see Feiyue later."

I asked, "Do you want to come together?"

"I'm very busy today."

"OK then."

"Inoue will accompany you."

really.

I smiled lightly and nodded, "I see."

He put down the document, glanced over me, and waved at me, with a smile on his brow, but his tone was unquestionable: "Liangxi, come here."

I hesitated and passed obediently.

He tugged at my wrist, and a quick kiss fell on his lips, with the familiar rose water on his body, lingering around the tip of his nose.In my memory, Feiyue also loves this taste very much, and the two brothers and sisters sometimes have a mysterious tacit understanding.Suddenly, I felt that the former Keigo Atobe had returned, the domineering and gentle Keigo Atobe.

"come back earlier."

He said.

I smiled: "OK."

……

Feiyue was buried in an ordinary cemetery. It is unbelievable that the Atobe family would allow the little princess of the Atobe zaibatsu to stay with miscellaneous people.I dare not ask Keigo Atobe, as long as it is about Feiyue, he will become dazed.

Later, Mrs. Atobe told me.

"Jing Wu mentioned it. He said Feiyue, she is most afraid of being alone. If you want her to stay alone in the tomb, you should have trouble with him again."

Atobe Keigo cared about Hizuki more than anyone else.

But he hasn't seen her once in so many years.Or dare not.

I met Echizen Ryoma in the cemetery.

Inoue stood a few meters away from me, and I looked at him with flowers in my arms.He put the roses in front of the grave, broke the silence, and greeted me calmly: "Hello."

As mentioned just now, Feiyue likes roses the most.

Suddenly the air froze again.

"The company is busy, Jingwu has something to do. I'll come over later." I looked at the face that was extremely similar to that person, and I didn't know how to speak, as if any explanation seemed pale.He grew up to be more like that man.

"He won't come."

"He never came," he said with certainty.

I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.

Blinking: "Oh."

"Do you see her often?" I asked, "I mean, Scarlet Moon."

No one can understand the pain of losing a loved one better than me. I probably feel the same when I look at Echizen Ryoma today.I don't dare to think about it, but he can't, there is no difference between us.

"I will when I return home."

Echizen Ryoma bent his lips, his eyes shone with light, and his voice slowly lowered: "If I don't see her for a long time, she will make a fuss. It's hard to coax."

I still remember the appearance of Feiyue to this day.

When we first met, the pair of wet eyes and white nose, the eyebrows and eyes of the girl wrapped in a red scarf were curved like crescent moons, shining brightly like a small sun.

Maybe it is too beautiful to feel regretful.

Another long silence.

Echizen Ryoma and I stood in front of Feiyue's grave silently, unlike his elder brother, he was always a man of few words, or maybe he felt that apart from Feiyue and Longya, he had nothing to say to me.

The young man devoted his whole life to the person on top of his heart.

After being silent for a while, he finally moved, raised his eyelids and glanced at me, and invited me in a rare way:

"Have you made any arrangements? Later."

After I married Keigo Atobe, I became estranged from my past friends a lot, except for Arisu, and this was because Arisu had enough capital to compete with Atobe.But obviously the young man in front of him didn't take Keigo Atobe to heart. It would have been the case when he was a student, and it is the case now.

His current attitude is mediocre, as if he is treating an old friend whom he hasn't talked about for a long time.

……

I never thought that there would be a day when I would sit face to face with Echizen Ryoma in a milk tea shop again, even though I knew I couldn’t hide it from Keigo Atobe, and I was always uneasy, so I flipped through the menu absent-mindedly: “I want to drink something What, I ask you."

"lemonade."

He really wasn't polite at all.

I close the menu: "Two glasses of lemonade, thank you."

"He's back home."

"……I know."

I saw the "Tennis Monthly" spread out at Atobe's house. I don't know if it was a test or on purpose. It's hard not to notice it.

The Japanese genius samurai who conquered the entire tennis world returned home with glory.

So they say.

But so what.

It has nothing to do with me.

"If Long Ya said he wanted to take you away, would you go with him?"

"will not."

...

"I am now, surnamed Jibu."

After Echizen Ryoma left, I sat in the store in a daze for a long time, but I couldn't help it, and wept bitterly while covering my face.

How much I used to love that guy.

Now I dare not like it.

Ever since I found out that Keigo Atobe had installed a monitor in my phone, I was so sick that I couldn't sleep, I ran to the toilet and vomited, and pulled the monitor off while vomiting.

And the source of all this is just that I watched a live game.

The man's game.

Keigo Atobe is a lunatic.

I remember the night I married him for life, he confessed to me with an almost obsessed expression:

"I like you."

"Cool."

I didn't answer him directly, but told him: "From now on, let's get along well, please give me more advice, Mr. Jingwu."

At that time, my heart already belonged to me, and my heart and eyes were full of only Long Ya.

Due to pressure from the Akimoto family, I had no choice but to accept the marriage with the Atobe family.In all fairness, Keigo Atobe knows how to advance and retreat, and is sensible, so he is the most suitable candidate.

But that was also the beginning of my nightmare.

He found a tattoo on my collarbone with the names of people I love.

He made me wash off the tattoo.

I was in so much pain that tears fell.It hurts more than getting a tattoo.

later.

He forced me to say I like it.

"……I like you."

He looked at me fixedly: "You lied to me."

I lied, lied, and lied for so many years.

...

Someone handed me a packet of tissues.

I declined and murmured thanks.

When I stood up, I returned to the appearance when I came here, the dignified, elegant, reserved and generous second lady of the Akimoto family.

I smiled at the man:

"...I should go back."

Back to the place that will imprison me for the rest of my life.

It is only now that I finally understand.

It turned out that I just walked from one cage to another.
