Chapter 1052 [Chapter ENDING] 4
Liu Quan's call almost seemed to be in his mouth, rolling over the tip of his tongue so vaguely that it didn't attract anyone's attention.
However, her behavior of standing stiffly next to the screen is obviously a bit eye-catching.The servant woman behind her was also stunned for a moment, and immediately pushed her back from behind her without any trace, and called out in a low voice: "...Miss?"
At this time, the other short, fat and bald man seemed to have reacted, with a smile on his face, and he said in a smooth manner: "This is Miss Quan, right? She is indeed an elegant beauty... Come on." , please sit down, please sit down."
Liu Quan was startled.
...Miss Quan? !
The center of her mind was spinning, and she quickly thought of what the servant girl said just now——
The maid said that "Miss Zezi" was troubled by the fact that the previous head of the family, Jiu Tiao Zhongshun, was implicated in the Saixiang Party, because the current and nominal head of the house, Master Daozhi, was weak and incompetent, and the reputation of the Jiu Tiao family was ruined. Now, if you want to find a suitable backer among the people related to the new government, you can no longer communicate publicly in the name of the Kujo family...
The maid also said that the other party was so careless about this blind date that she didn't even ask her name...
Liu Quan's hands hanging by his side slowly clenched.
Well, the short, fat, bald middle-aged man in front of me, who is obviously accompanying a guest, called her "Miss Quan" because although the deputy chief didn't care about this blind date at all, the people who were in the middle of the match really had a little bit of encouragement. Therefore, I told the accompanying uncle about the pseudonym she reported—because using the real name of the Jiutiao family is obviously counterproductive at the moment—perhaps as well as the background that has been reasonably whitewashed, and then asked him to be more or less responsible To liven up the atmosphere by threading needles in the middle, lest the deputy chief directly reject her in the first minute of meeting and leave in a huff?
However, what is the alias reported by the "Miss Zezi" who completed the plot by herself?What is the background?
The word "quan" is simply too subtle, it can be used as a surname as well as a given name.Although Liu Quan felt that it was reasonable to address a woman whom she met for the first time by her surname plus honorific title, but what if? !
This world is not a world that completely conforms to common sense—otherwise, things like "change like water", or creatures like "Rakshasa" and "ghost clan" should not have appeared in this world in the first place.
Liu Quan's eyes flickered for a moment, and soon returned to calm.
...you can't show your horse's feet here.He also couldn't show that he and the deputy chief were old acquaintances in front of the other two people, and plunged into the deputy chief's arms or something—speaking of it, why was the deputy chief still so calm and composed? !Could it be that he finally gave up and thought that she was really dead, so even if a woman who looked the same appeared in front of him, he didn't have any hope? !
She nodded towards the two men calmly, deliberately lowered her voice, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Quan. It's the first time we meet, please take care of me—"
Perhaps it was because the deputy chief kept silent from the beginning to the end, the uncle accompanying the guest showed an exaggerated eagerness on his face, laughed and nodded violently, turned sideways and tried his best to show a warm welcome, He said again: "Please take care of me, take care of me—this is Naito-kun. In Shimoyokosaka, I am Naito-kun's senior colleague. As a show of solemnity, I specially accompany you here tonight—"
Liu Quan's inner OS: ... Well, it seems that the "strength old widower" who came to the blind date really refers to the deputy chief himself? !
She didn't want to admit that when she saw the deputy chief appearing with this Yokosaka, there was a moment of strange emotions in her heart, as if she was looking forward to the person she had a blind date with tonight was the deputy chief himself, and It seemed that he didn't want the deputy chief to agree to the blind date, and he was just accompanying the uncle who seemed to fit the definition of "middle-aged widower" better than him—as if this assumption would make her Getting a certain kind of strange comfort in his heart can show that the deputy chief has never forgotten her, and has always kept his promise and is waiting for her to come back.
However, her rationality also told her that since the deputy chief came to Tokyo for some reason and became such a decent person in the world, it is obviously not fair and reasonable to ask the deputy chief to be an old widower forever. .
His new friends, colleagues, bosses, neighbors...all of them may worry about him, and want to introduce a new wife to take care of the housework for him, which is very natural.
And she, undoubtedly, was able to get such an opportunity to reappear in front of him under the general mood of everyone.
... The system bacteria is really true, honestly don't bully her.It was said that it would be placed near the deputy chief, and indeed it was placed near the deputy chief—it's just that this extremely embarrassing situation gave people a headache.However, when it comes to putting on airs, no one will be her opponent!
Although many thoughts ran through my mind, it only took a moment.Liu Quan cheered up and decided not to mind the question of "why the deputy chief didn't show any enthusiasm when he saw me at the first sight", but to concentrate on dealing with the blind date in front of him first.
She watched Yokosaka-kun, who was overly enthusiastic and obviously had a mission tonight, while talking, secretly elbowed the deputy chief's arm, and almost hinted to the deputy chief without winking, "Hurry up." Say hello to the lady!", I couldn't help but feel a little funny in my heart - and finally I got a little sense of "ah, I finally saw Mr. Hijikata again, anyway, he is here and he can't escape".
Adhering to such a mood, she also spontaneously developed a little bit - bad taste.
So, she walked to the table, and naturally stood directly beside the chair opposite Tu Fang, pulled the chair slightly sideways, then raised her head again, and stared at Tu Fang with a smile.
"...Mr. Naito." She deliberately pronounced the title in an indescribable, condescending way, her eyes slightly bent.
"Please take care of me." She said, deliberately adding a coquettish ending.
Then she realized that there was a table in front of her, and the deputy chief's expression suddenly darkened, making her look even more ugly.
"...It's a pleasure to meet you." He reluctantly (?) replied in a rough voice, and then he waved his hand towards her to let her take a seat, and then sat down heavily on the chair behind him, as if he was a little Dejected.
Liu Quan:?I always feel that he seems to have misunderstood something? ?
Their table was in the corner, and the lamp next to it was a little dim. Just now she was standing next to the screen, which happened to be in a state of backlight, so it was understandable that the deputy chief couldn't see her face clearly; but now she Walking to the edge of the table, even if the position is not directly lit, it is also side lit. It has already entered the light range of the lamp not far from the window beside the table. It is impossible for the deputy chief to see her face clearly? !
...As expected, the deputy chief seemed to be a little rude. Ever since she took her seat, he raised his eyes and kept staring at her face—somewhere.
Liu Quan:? ?What is the deputy chief looking at? ?It shouldn't have been a few years, has my face become so difficult to recognize? ?
In the end, she watched helplessly that the pair of eyes on the opposite side glowed with a little dark purple—yes, this is also the original setting of this world, it's just so unscientific! ——In the pupils of the pupils, a small spark that danced faintly in the depths of the pupils gradually extinguished.
Liu Quan:? ?
The deputy chief seems very disappointed? !Why? !Is he dissatisfied with her face? ?
Before she could think of a way to inquire about it, she saw the deputy chief push the teacup and tableware in front of her, and turned to the uncle named "Yokosaka" who accompanied her and said:
"...It's useless, Yokosaka-kun."
Liu Quan:? ? ?
Before she could ask with a question mark on her face, Yokosaka lowered her voice with embarrassment on her face, and quickly said: "...Naito-kun! This is also everyone's kindness! Yamakawa-kun is also worried about your affairs! I know You still miss your ex-wife very much, and we have fully considered your feelings...but you..."
Before Yokosaka, the perfect NPC explaining the plot, could finish his summary, Hijikata interrupted him.
"...It's not enough to find a similar face according to her, Yokosaka-kun. I have said repeatedly that I have no intention of remarrying, and I can continue to explain to Shanchuan-kun, not to mention that I have followed his plan tonight. It shouldn’t be considered impolite to attend the meeting…”
Liu Quan:? ? ?Sounds like a scary story about forced marriages by the whole people? ?Does she need to shed tears of sympathy for the deputy chief? ?
Regardless(?) of the crazy OS in her heart, Hijikata turned his gaze back to her across the table.His eyes were as clear and straight as ever.
"I'm sorry, Izumi...Miss." He actually thought about it before calling out her pseudonym, as if he didn't remember it carefully at all, but just barely recalled it because of Yokosaka's address.
"I once had a wife. But she is gone... Friends and colleagues who have been worried about me, saw her portrait, and took great pains to arrange this meeting."
He actually began to explain the cause and effect of this incident to her personally, and his tone was surprisingly frank.
"I think they invited you because you look so similar to her. But, I can't be fooled..."
Speaking of this, he seemed to have started to make a joke, his tone became less heavy, and there was a hint of a smile in his voice.
Liu Quan was so stunned that the questions in her brain were all tangled up like a ball of yarn being messed up by a cat and couldn't be untied; she subconsciously followed his meaning and asked in a daze:
"...But, why?"
Why didn't you recognize me as me?Why did you come here and agree to this blind date?What's up with the portrait?What happened to colleagues?Why did you show up in Tokyo in such a well-dressed, crisp suit?Has your true identity not been discovered by others?Can you start over with your life?Have you got a new job, a new identity, a new life? ...
So far, she has no doubt that the "lady" that Tu Fang said is herself.But the doubts rolling in her heart didn't ease at all.
However, Tufang would not know that she had so many entanglements in her heart.He thought for a moment, and then showed her an unexpected, very refreshing smile.
"Because, I can't betray her, right?" He replied with a smile.
Yokosaka on the side let out a long sigh, as if he didn't want to hide the depression that he was about to face another failed blind date, and buried his face in his hands, looking very frustrated.
Tufang didn't care about the complete disappointment emanating from him, continued to look directly at Liu Quan, and said with a smile:
"...Besides, she's a scary woman—"
Liu Quan: ...Okay, slandering my reputation and image behind my back while I'm dead(?)? !Believe it or not, I will beat you, Mr. Hijikata? !
Her lips unconsciously pursed into a straight line.But Hijikata didn't seem to be aware of the displeasure emanating from her, and his voice seemed to have a gentle smile unconsciously because he was caught in some kind of pleasant memory.
"She once threatened to flatten Shimabara," he said.
Liu Quan was taken aback for a moment!
"Tamp down...Shimabara?!" she murmured and repeated.
Hijikata seemed to have misunderstood her meaning of repeating the place name, but he didn't seem at all embarrassed, "Oh, I casually mentioned the name of the flower street I went to before in front of the blind date", but repeated the same with a smile over again.
"Yeah, Shimabara," he said.
"So, what she said... She will not show mercy to any woman who appears beside me and has other plans—"
"I'm very sorry, Miss Quan." He said it again, and without waiting for her reply, he stood up, stood up straight and bowed slightly to her in apology, then walked around the table and strode away from the screen.
