"Yes, An Yi, you should have told us."

"Sister, it doesn't matter, we will accompany you through the last days of your life."

They comforted Akagi Aki one after another, and the atmosphere became sad.

Especially the young Masako Akagi, thinking that her grandma was suffering from a terminal illness, she burst into tears instantly.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Third Grandma, Third Grandma, don't leave us."

"Masako, grandma won't die yet, but she may gradually forget everyone. Don't cry."

Akagi Ayi comforted him gently.

"Where is the bathroom?"

Bai Chuan asked the servant, who got up and took Bai Chuan to the bathroom.

After coming back, Shirakawa let a few people chat for a while before handing Chihiro Akagi a small transparent box containing a capsule.

"What's this?"

Chihiro Akagi asked.

"I didn't prepare a gift when I came. I just thought it would be most appropriate to give this to you."

Bai Chuan smiled and said, "Think of it as thanks for the gift of the Buddha head."

"Give me something to eat?"

Chihiro Akagi looked at Bai Chuan in surprise. Could it be that Bai Chuan already knew how to heal himself?

"No, Miss Qianxun's treatment has not started yet. This is a special medicine for Alzheimer's disease given to senior Ayi."

Bai Chuan said.

"Special medicine?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Akagi Chihiro's eyes, but more of it was disbelief.

Bai Chuan nodded slightly, "Someone has already tested it and it is indeed effective."

"Thanks."

Chihiro Akagi accepted the special medicine and handed it to the servant.

The servant delivered the medicine to Chimu Ayi and whispered something.

Akagi Ai looked at Shirakawa in surprise, and his eyes returned to Akagi Chihiro.

"Takahashi-kun owns a pharmaceutical company that develops drugs. Don't worry, if there are any problematic drugs, Takahashi-kun will not take them out."

Chihiro Akagi explained.

Akagi Ai took the special medicine and said with a smile, "I'll leave it to Takahashi-kun for the next medicine."

"In your case, you only need to take one pill."

Bai Chuan said.

Everyone looked at Bai Chuan in surprise. They thought that the special medicine would require at least several courses of treatment to alleviate the condition. However, it only took one pill to completely solve the problem. Could it be poison?

"You can have your family doctor check it out tomorrow."

Bai Chuan believes that since the Akagi family is so big, there must be a dedicated family doctor.

Akagi Ayi still couldn't believe it.

Chihiro Akagi asked,

"Takahashi-kun, do you mean that eating one pill will cure the disease, or will it delay the condition?"

"Can heal."

Shirakawa said, "When you get older, memory loss does not count."

"Takahashi-kun, are you kidding me? How could there be such a medicine?"

Akagi Kazuhiro and several other seniors all showed expressions of disbelief.

Shirakawa didn't explain too much, but asked Akagi how he felt.

Akagi Ayi touched his head and said, "I can't tell you yet. I just feel a little sleepy and want to rest for a while."

"Then let's see tomorrow."

Bai Chuan said.

The family banquet continued. Baichuan did not stay in the inner room to talk to the clan elders. Instead, he followed Chihiro Akagi out and met with various people in the Akagi family.

He wanted to get more clues about Chihiro Akagi's frailty from them.

At the same time, I also get to know this partner better.

This time there was not much gain, but various complex family relationships of the Akagi family were discovered.

For example, the Akagi family once had internal intermarriages. For a long time, in order to ensure the purity of the family's blood, many deformed children were born.

It wasn't until the third generation of the Akagi family leader realized that this was not the solution, that he chose to optimize and improve the bloodline, prohibiting intermarriage within the family.

Each generation of Akagi family heads has a long lifespan, except for Kaoru Akagi's generation. Chihiro Akagi has been frail since she was a child. The family has chosen two heirs for her, namely her cousin Rika Akagi and her sister Riko Akagi.

Akagi Harumi is Akagi Rika's biological sister. She has always believed that her sister is more qualified than Akagi Kaoru to inherit the name of Akagi Chihiro and can bring the family to prosperity.

Akagi Rika was also at the banquet, but she was very low-key and got along well with everyone around her.

Akagi Riko did not attend the family dinner. She had been raised abroad to receive elite education and rarely went home.

After the tea drinking and communication session, the servants presented exquisitely prepared dishes one after another, which was equivalent to a high-end version of kaiseki cuisine.

Exquisite dishes are placed in front of everyone's dining table, and the sashimi is the freshest sea fish.

The chef fillets the fish on the spot and brings it to each small table.

Although Shirakawa doesn't like to eat sashimi, he feels that this fish fillet is indeed delicious and melts in his mouth.

After dinner, most of the young people went on a cruise.

Shirakawa and Chihiro Akagi sat on a small but unique boat.

On the boat, there are maids in blue playing the harp, and maids in gray warming the wine.

Chihiro Akagi and Shirakawa sat in the cabin, looking at the scenery outside through the window.

Soft and classical music surrounds you all the time.

The maid handed the warm wine to Chihiro Akagi and Shirakawa.

"Sorry, I can't drink ice wine."

Chihiro Akagi said.

“Drinking warm wine in summer is also an experience.”

Bai Chuan smiled, raised his glasses with Chihiro Akagi, and took a sip.

This is sake with a low alcohol content.

"Before, I was still wondering why you were confident that you could cure me. But now that I saw you taking out the special medicine to treat Alzheimer's disease, I realized that you were not lying. It turns out that you really have never thought about marrying me. "

Chihiro Akagi said with a half-smile.

"It seems that Miss Qianxun is a little regretful."

Bai Chuan placed the exquisite white jade wine glass on the table.

The Akagi family and the Chiyuki family gave him a completely different feeling. They had a strong feeling of the old aristocracy before the Meiji Restoration, a proper remnant of feudalism.

On the river bank, Shirakawa could also see men in samurai uniforms practicing swordsmanship.

"You are really confident. If I have any regrets, it's not because of you."

Chihiro Akagi said calmly.

"So Miss Qianxun, what is your regret?"

"Probably because I didn't have a happy childhood and willful youth like my peers."

"You are still young now."

Chihiro Akagi smiled, "That's because you haven't come into contact with the normal me. My mental age is probably about the same as that of a clan elder. When I look at the people around me, I feel like I'm looking at a junior."

"Are you laughing at their ignorance?"

"No, I envy their ignorance."

Chihiro Akagi's cheeks were slightly red. This was because of drinking. She held her chin with one hand and looked at Shirakawa.

"I also envy you and the young lady from Qianxue's family. You can actually fall in love like no one else is around. In my world, there is no such thing."

Bai Chuan looked at Chihiro Akagi and suddenly realized that she was a very noble but very pitiful genius.

"Do you like being the head of the house?"

Bai Chuan suddenly asked.

"I was born to be the head of the family, and this is my responsibility."

Chihiro Akagi said calmly.

"If I can't save you, will you stay in this house for the last time?"

Bai Chuan asked.

Chihiro Akagi's beautiful peach blossom eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Shirakawa with interest.

"If you can't save me, you have to stay with me in this house for the best time. Oh, what the girl from the Qianxue family said is impossible to come true, because if I die, my husband will be buried. This is It’s our Akagi family’s tradition, so you can’t remarry, and you can’t take away a penny of my property.”

"Sure enough, it is a remnant of feudalism, and such a cruel method of burial has been preserved."

"Only the head of the family has this preferential treatment."

Chapter 423 422 · Enthusiastic Wife

When Shirakawa and Chihiro Akagi went rafting, there was no ambiguous atmosphere between lovers. They were more like business partners. Although Shirakawa occasionally sympathized with Chihiro Akagi, he did not show concern beyond the boundaries of friends. They were just normal greetings. .

Chihiro Akagi also likes such distant contact. She and Shirakawa are far from being honest with each other. They are just getting what they need.

However, after this banquet, Chihiro Akagi appreciated Shirakawa even more and trusted him a little more.

It has nothing to do with treasure appraisal, the main thing is that he successfully developed a specific drug to cure Alzheimer's disease.

Baichuan also admired Chihiro Akagi very much for being able to handle the affairs of such a large family properly.

He was even a little worried about Chihiro Akagi's fiancé. Marrying someone like Chihiro Akagi was destined to enter the complex environment of the Akagi family. Without certain emotional intelligence and means, there was really no guarantee that he could survive in this family.

Especially the fatal burial system makes people shudder and even want to report it.

However, there is a high probability that reporting it will be useless. After all, this is the Akagi family, a noble family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

"In fact, all the heads of our family, except me, have lived a long life. They all lived longer than their husbands."

Chihiro Akagi said with a smile, as if he was making fun of his physical condition.

"You should have more confidence in yourself and in me. Maybe you can live as long as your ancestors and outlive your husband."

Shirakawa responded while drinking sake.

Chihiro Akagi listened to the sound of the shamisen, looked at the scenery by the lake, and said in a soft voice,

"Once you raise your hopes, it's easy to be disappointed. I don't like the feeling of disappointment, and Takahashi-kun can't bear the consequences of disappointing me."

Bai Chuan looked at Chihiro Akagi's girl-like face and found that her character was indeed very mature. No wonder she said that she looked like an old man.

"No matter how gorgeous the cherry blossoms are, they will only bloom in spring. I don't feel sorry for the short life of my life. This should be the law of nature. From the moment people are born, they are destined to die. I am just more mature than others. Faster."

Chihiro Akagi said calmly, with an open-minded tone that looked down on life and death.

Bai Chuan was slightly stunned. What on earth did he experience? Why is he so young and mature? In other words, the illness and torture she suffered during her childhood had wiped out all her energy.

It's just that she still looks glamorous in the eyes of outsiders.

Maybe she always wears red clothes and always carries exquisite jewelry, all in order to be as gorgeous as the cherry blossoms in spring and bloom her whole spring, even if no one appreciates them.

Bai Chuan suddenly felt that such a girl would not have any shortcomings in life without love, because she was already wonderful enough in her own right.
