"Sorry?"

She shouldn't have reminded Hayato of something bad again.

Xia Kong showed a helpless expression.

"I just don't want to see you standing here in the rain."

Realizing that he shouldn't get angry, Hayato immediately looked away and said in a low voice, "I told you to leave me alone."

"I refuse." Xia Kong looked at the boy who was throwing a tantrum in front of her.

She held his hand instead.

"At least take shelter from the rain with me?

Look, it's getting heavier and heavier. "

The raindrops falling on her eyelashes made her blink.

It was raining.

Looking at Xia Kong whose hair was wet, Hayato made a reluctant expression and replied, "Yes."

After that, he unconsciously shook Xia Kong's hand.

It was warm, like playing the piano.

By... his mother.

The feeling of holding hands.

Hayato was a little absent-minded for a moment.

So, Xia Kong naturally pulled the absent-minded boy back to the room.

She found a clean towel and handed him one. "Do you want to take a shower?"

It was the first time he sat in a girl's room.

The prison warden was so cautious that he didn't dare to look around.

He was shocked when he heard this question. "Don't joke!

No.

I'm not taking a shower. "

He was a boy, how could he take a shower in a girl's room!

"Then sit down and dry your hair." Xia Kong didn't force him.

She turned around and turned on the heater for him.

"My hair is wet. I'm going to wash it."

The trouble with long hair was that it was difficult to take care of.

After washing his hair in ten minutes, Xia Kong came out with a towel wrapped around her head.

Prison Si was staring at the heater in a daze. He still had a look of disappointment on his face.

"The rain hasn't stopped yet." She took out some snacks from the fridge and placed them in front of Hayato. "Eat something."

Hayato came back to his senses and said, "Thank you."

He thanked her politely, but he still didn't eat.

Xia Kong shook her head and plugged in the hair dryer to dry her hair.

Only the sound of the hairdryer could be heard in the room. Ten minutes later, she stopped.

Hayato was still sitting at the small table.

"Are you really that sad?" Xia Kong also sat down and asked softly.

"No." Hayato frowned. "Who said I was sad?"

"Eh, is that so?"

Xia Kong smoothed her hair with her hand and said casually, "You looked so sad before, but now you don't want to admit it … With this kind of personality, you're a tsundere, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

As if to prove otherwise, Hayato looked into Xia Kong's eyes and said seriously, "Listen, I'm definitely not sad. Definitely!

But … "

"Only?"

"I'm just in a bad mood."

"Oh, is that so?"

Seeing that Hayato wanted to hide his feelings, Xia Kong changed the subject. "Have you heard that Pengelly will be holding a ball or something?"

"Yes, it's a tradition. There will be a Christmas ball in three days."

Hayato showed a yearning expression. "This year, Mr. Reborn told me in advance that I could go in and be a guard."

It was obvious that Hayato was very loyal to Pengelly.

Thinking of the photo of the future Hayato and the introduction of the "Tenth Generation Leader", Xia Kong began to be curious about the future Tenth Generation Leader.

Could it be Xanxus?

The past she saw in the illusion was only a part of it … The only things about this world were …

What were they?

For the first time in a long time, she deliberately tried to recall the memories she got in the illusion, but she could only recall a little. Xia Kong's face turned pale.

She couldn't remember.

What should she remember?

Strange!

Xia Kong felt a sharp pain in her temple and reached out to massage it.

"Hello?

What's wrong? "Seeing her uncomfortable expression, Hayato asked.

Xia Kong shook her head. "My head hurts a little, but it's okay."

She got up and poured two glasses of water. She handed one to Hayato and drank the other in one gulp.

"If there's a problem, go see a doctor as soon as possible." Hayato was relieved and said, "It'll be worse if you delay it until something serious happens."

He sounded fierce when he spoke, but Xia Kong could hear the concern in his voice.

She took the opportunity to talk about the previous matter. "Then, if Hayato is unhappy, you can tell me. Don't let it accumulate in your heart."

When he met Xia Kong's caring gaze, Hayato's face revealed a touch of unnaturalness.

He wanted to refute, but he was afraid of hurting Xia Kong, so he could only whisper, "It's okay now."

"Really?

That's great. "

Xia Kong smiled and sighed. "After all, I don't want to see Hayato's beautiful eyes lose their color because of sadness."

A young man with jade-like eyes should live a proud and handsome life, and not be so dejected as to lower his head and look at the ground.

As for opening up to him … there was nothing she could do if he didn't want to.

As she thought about this, she was still looking at Hayato.

Hayato had been in a daze for quite a while.

It wasn't the first time he heard Xia Kong praise his eyes.

But when he heard it this time, he felt that he was cared about.

"Yes."

Hayato said something that sounded like a promise. "It won't happen again. Anyway, we're not related anymore."

He clenched his hand on the table.

Noticing his clenched fist, Xia Kong felt a little helpless.

Although he said that he was not related … he should be sad deep down, right?

Following Hayato's words and deducing what might happen to him, Xia Kong comforted him. "You should make your own decisions in life. Other people's words are just opinions, even if they're forced … Well, Hayato will become very powerful in the future. When that time comes, you'll definitely have more freedom."

"Hmph." After listening to the chicken soup for the soul, Hayato snorted arrogantly. "Of course!

My future goal is to be the boss of the Pengelly family! "

As he said this, the rain outside the window stopped.

However, the sky was completely dark. Without the help of a car, there was still a long way to go from here to the streets.

Xia Kong suggested, "The rain has stopped, but it's already nine o 'clock. Why don't you rest here today?"

"No, I still want to go back." Hayato stood up and waved his hand with an awkward expression.

It was already very inappropriate to be alone with a girl in her house. If he spent the night here, it would be even more inappropriate.

"But isn't it too far to go home from here?" Xia Kong hesitated. "It might be dangerous on the way home … Why don't you call Biyangqi first?"

There were wolves in the forest, and there might be other beasts.

But for some reason, Hayato's expression turned ugly. "My business has nothing to do with her."

... It has something to do with it, right?

Accidentally poking the hornet's nest, Xia Kong pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sorry, I said something bad again."

Seeing that she was very apologetic, Hayato calmed down and explained, "It's not your problem …"

"You don't have to comfort me. I've already made you think of unhappy things twice today." With that, Xia Kong sighed.

"It's really not your problem. Every year, my sister comes to persuade me to go home.

That place is full of lies. I … I will never go back. "Hearing that her voice had become depressed, Hayato panicked and directly told her the reason.

After hearing this, Xia Kong immediately understood that Hayato was in a state of running away from home.

The New Year was coming, and Biyangqi wanted to take him back.

But he was not willing.

Noticing that Hayato was depressed again after saying this, Xia Kong hurriedly said, "Just now, you said that it was an unrelated person. Why are you sad again?

Since you don't feel comfortable, leaving is the right thing to do. "

If family can't make people feel warm, it's normal to make such a choice, right?

Combining her own past, Xia Kong said, "So, don't feel negative about it … You don't have to forgive the person who lied."

Hayato looked at Xia Kong in surprise, who said what he thought, and blurted out, "Even if it's my biological father?"

Xia Kong did not answer directly, but smiled.

In Hayato's eyes, it was a strange smile, as if she had thought of something.

"Yes, even if it's my biological father who made a mistake, I must make him pay the price."

After saying this, Xia Kong felt that it was not good to instill her own thoughts in others, so she added, "But it also depends on what the truth is. Hayato, are you sure you know the truth?"

After hearing this, the discomfort suddenly disappeared. Hayato looked at Xia Kong suspiciously and said, "Yes, I'm sure."

"Well, so are you staying today?" Xia Kong smiled and changed the topic to ease Hayato's doubts. "The Dog Gods' room is next door."

Hayato shook his head and refused.

"Then when you arrive at your place, remember to send me an email." Knowing that it was not good to force him to stay, Xia Kong gave up the idea.

"… That sounds troublesome," Hayato said reluctantly and waved goodbye.

After sending him to the elevator, Xia Kong returned to her room, threw herself on the bed, buried her face in the pillow, and closed her eyes.

She accidentally said something terrible … Hayato was probably a little alarmed, right?

He was actually a very sensitive person.

Really … she did not know if she could fix it.

After changing into her pajamas, Xia Kong called out Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan quickly understood her thoughts. She tilted her ahoge head and said, "I don't understand. Didn't Boss already complete the mission?

Hayato Jōdera is willing to tell Master his thoughts. Congratulations, Master! "

It was just a chicken … She should not expect too much from it.

She took out her cell phone and greeted the Dog Gods who were in special training. After an hour, she received emails from both the Dog Gods and Hayato at the same time.

After relaxing, Xia Kong closed her eyes and controlled her mind to contact Rokudo.

After the mental connection was established, she opened the door and walked in.

It was the coffee shop scene from last time.

On one side of the table sat a handsome half-demon with slightly curly long hair and wearing a purple kimono. On the other side sat Rokudo, who was wearing a black uniform.

"Nara?" Xia Kong stood in place and did not walk forward.

"Kufufufu ~ It seems that Xia Kong has a deep shadow over you, Nara -kun." Rokudo smiled with interest, "Look, it's your turn."

These two guys were actually playing Go in the spiritual space?

Not wanting to stay for too long, Xia Kong asked directly, "Bones, do you need me to help you get out of prison?"

Rokudo looked at her with a hint of disdain, "I'm afraid you can't do it."
