our secret base

Missy's troubles
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun paints the lush green courtyard with a layer of gold powder, the shadows of the shoe cabinets and umbrellas at the door continue to elongate, and the residual summer heat between the sky and the earth is gradually swallowed up by the night.

Xie Yuzhi hurriedly left the living room and walked to her bedroom. People who met along the way who worked in this home would bow to her respectfully.

This was a common sight for the eldest lady, but today she kept her brows furrowed, as if there was some kind of worry and trouble that couldn't be resolved, and she couldn't even nod in response.

"Arranging an engagement ceremony..."

After returning to the bedroom, she sat on the sofa.When I am alone, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Although the eldest lady has high demands on herself, she won't become limp and motionless as soon as she returns to her bedroom like most people, but she won't be so sick that even when she is alone You must maintain an upright posture.

Miss Xie kicked off the shoes on her feet, revealing her delicate feet in gray long socks. She curled up her legs, and at the same time grabbed a huge plush doll and hugged her in the most comfortable way. Sitting on the sofa.

She began to think about the conversation she had just had with her father in the living room.

This morning, Xie Jianye came to visit her where she lived.Since Xie Yuzhi separated from Yan Jingxing, she has been sorting out her words, and when her father came, she took the initiative to tell him all her decisions.

That's what she wanted to make a marriage contract with Yan Jingxing.

Late last night, Xie Yuzhi couldn't wait to communicate with Yan Jingxing on the phone. The adult over there, that is, Jing Xing's uncle, had already agreed, and she was the only one left.

After talking to his father, Xie Jianye was surprised, but he readily agreed. This should be an expected development for him. His only worry may be that the two children are still too young.

This worry is obviously not a problem under Xie Yuzhi's insistence, but Xie Jianye made a request because of this:
"In that case, let you arrange the engagement ceremony."

"...what? But—"

"As for the manpower and the guests that need to be invited, I will communicate for you, and you can take over slowly. But you have to find a way to do the rest of the specific work."

Xie Yuzhi naturally understood his intentions, but found it hard to understand.

Compared to the difficulty of hosting a banquet, what my father meant was to let her slowly take over her social network...

Even from the perspective of raising children to inherit, it is a bit too impatient. We should start by taking care of the relevant business first, right?

Could it be that--

"...Father." She thought for a while, and suddenly felt a bad worry. She couldn't help but worry, and asked in a tentative tone, "How is your physical condition recently? Have you seen a doctor? It shouldn't be... the time to make a will in advance, right?"

"What are you talking about!"

Xie Jianye almost had a tightness in his chest, even if he was not sick, he would get sick.

"You and I are in good health!"

"...Does it have nothing to do with your body?" Xie Yuzhi frowned. "That is to say, father has other considerations? But I'm still a junior high school student. Is it too early to take the initiative to contact those people my father knows?"

"When you entered into a marriage contract with a boy without authorization, didn't you consider that you were still a student?"

……Oh.

Xie Yuzhi suddenly realized that it turned out that his father was going around because he felt uncomfortable about this matter.

It is precisely because I am unhappy that I have to set up obstacles and tests for myself.

"It's your own business, isn't it? Then learn to handle it yourself."

"Well, I see. No problem."

Miss Xie nodded readily.

*
Although she readily agreed to it in front of her father, Xie Yuzhi still felt a little annoyed when she thought about the large amount of unfamiliar knowledge that she would be exposed to and learn next, as well as meeting more than one or two strangers.

I really want to find a place to be lazy.

Even Miss Xie, who knows a lot, has learned a lot, and seems omnipotent, is still just a little girl in junior high school, and she will feel dissatisfied because of the troublesome things to deal with; she wants to find someone to complain and talk to, but because of Excessive self-esteem is unwilling to take the initiative to speak.

She lay lazily, hugging the plush doll tightly with both hands, and quickly clamped her heels together, rolling around on the sofa in an unsightly posture.

After a while, Xie Yuzhi's eyebrows slowly relaxed.

Suddenly she thought of something.

"By the way, this is my business...but not my business alone."

The engagement was between both parties, and Yan Jingxing agreed to her wish. The two were allies on the same front.

"Hmph, if Jing Xing thinks that the matter will be over as long as he moves his mouth and agrees, he is so naive! I must drag him into the water."

Although the boy didn't come from a wealthy family like himself and didn't know much about interpersonal communication in the so-called "upper class", there were some things he had to face.

because--

"We will get married in the future, become husband and wife, have our own social circle, and meet friends and business partners together, so sooner or later he will have to learn these things..."

Xie Yuzhi's cheeks flushed, obviously no one was in the room, but she subconsciously buried her face in the doll, like an ostrich that buries its head in the sand so that no one can see it.

"Ugh..."

Accompanied by a restless heartbeat, the girl's breathing became slightly rapid.

This time is just an opportunity.In addition to allowing him to learn this knowledge and share the troubles at work for him, by the way, it can justifiably extend the time the two spend together during the holidays...it's perfect!
The more Xie Yuzhi thought about it, the more reasonable she felt, and the frequency of rolling around on the sofa with the doll in her arms increased.

but--

"But wait, Jing Xing might...not be able to use it? Even all of us..."

She stopped suddenly again.

"He has become so strong, he is a superman at all, and he is fully capable of ignoring the rules of today's society. In fact, he doesn't need to think about and learn those messy things at all, right?"

"But on the other hand, Jing Xing's personality doesn't look like that kind of lawless person, so it's still...or I can make some suggestions..."

Miss Xie once again fell into a new round of entanglement.

Just then, the phone on the bedside table rang.

Miss Xie, who was rolling around on the sofa, suddenly stopped moving, and got up quickly after a jolt.

Hidden by her messed up hair, the blush on the girl's face was as bright as a blooming rose petal.

Even though she knew there was no one else in the room, she still felt guilty and smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes and hair before quickly getting up and walking towards the bedside table.

Xie Yuzhi picked up the phone.

"Yuzhi!"

A familiar lively voice came from the opposite side of the radio wave, making the young lady's heart skip a beat.

"...Oh, it's Haruza. What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

She answered as controlled and calmly as possible.

"Hey, guess what I did today? I'm with Jing Xing."

The other party's tone was a little flamboyant.

Xie Yuzhi was slightly stunned.

With Jing Xing?
No, no, no?

Her hand holding the microphone tightened suddenly.

She didn't think in strange directions, but because she confessed to Jing Xing yesterday... no, she was about to enter a marriage proposal - so at this time, she couldn't help but think wildly.

"Speaking out may make you envious. I originally planned to hide it from you... But for the sake of our friendship... Jing Xing flew up with me in one breath... We saw it together..."

After that, Ji Chunzao described to her the experience of being with Jing Xing today and being carried up into the sky by the transformed him, and strongly recommended that she also experience it.

It sounds like Jing Xing is being treated as an amusement park facility.

However, this idea is very consistent with Chun Zao's character, and the ridiculous thing she was worried about did not happen.

But Xie Yuzhi's mood did not calm down at all.

Because the brief moment of panic just now was enough for her to see her own heart clearly.

I am worried, I am afraid, she thought.

Moreover, she has actually been subconsciously worried about this all along——

That's why he hastily made an agreement with Jing Xing.

In fact, Xie Yuzhi was not sure whether Chun Zao, like herself, had already fallen in love with Yan Jingxing; but this was because Ji Chun Zao still had the temperament of a child in her eyes, so she didn't realize whether she liked Yan Jingxing or not.

But even so, the natural intimacy that the girl showed when getting along with Jing Xing sometimes even gave her a feeling that she "can't get into the world of the two of them".If there is no me, the two grow up together smoothly, and one day they will really be together.

Moreover, it was... Chunzao who met him first.

Xie Yuzhi quickly made her own decision.

"We must talk things out. After each other understands each other's feelings, we can make a decision that everyone can accept, so that we will not feel regret and unwillingness in the future..."

she thought.

Xie Yuzhi wants to be upright, and doesn't want to hide anything.

"Yuzhi, what's the matter? Why haven't you spoken?"

Chun Zao's voice came again from the other side of the phone.

"Nothing, just thinking about something."

"Hmm...it has something to do with Jing Xing?"

"Yes, it has something to do with him."

Xie Yuzhi took a deep breath.

"—Chunzao, I also have something to tell you."

　Feel sorry!I actually wrote two thousand words before eight o'clock last night. I just wanted to rest for a while, but unexpectedly I fell asleep until the next day, so I didn't even have time to send a leave request.
