"Ah."

Izayoi unbuttoned the collar of her shirt and waved to Mori, indicating that she could go to other things, then went back to the room alone to change clothes, and then went to the studio to meet the two of them.

Different from Yinglili's own studio, the studio in Tachibana's villa was not designed for this purpose at the beginning of the design. Therefore, after Yingiri moved in, Shizayoi had someone temporarily tidy up the well-lit room and arrange it into an interior suitable for painting.

Originally, he was worried that it would not be easy to use, but Ying Lili didn't have any dissatisfaction, so Izayoi was relieved.

Without knocking on the door, he opened the studio door as a matter of course, and saw Wan Lihua sitting on a stool, looking at Ying Lili who was painting on the canvas from the side.

"How is it?" Ying Lili asked.

"Could it be too handsome?" Wan Lihua said.

"Is there?" Ying Lili didn't think so, "You see Kaguya sister is so beautiful now, if Izayoi didn't have plastic surgery, she should be so beautiful at this age, right?"

"No, no, no, don't be confused by the way your elder brother looks now, think about what he looked like before." Wan Lihua covered her mouth and snickered, "How could it be the way you draw it now?"

"Hey..." Ying Lili made a voice that was half puzzled and half approved.

"So...this face looks too quiet. If there is no such thing, my brother must be beaming at all times." Wan Lihua folded her arms and stated seriously.

Ying Lili lowered her shoulders helplessly, "Well...that's not wrong, I'll change it again—"

"Cough-cough-"

After listening to Wan Lihua saying "bad things" about herself behind her back for a while, Shizayoi cleared her throat to remind them that she was here.

"I heard it. I heard it when you opened the door." Wan Lihua was unmoved, "I am not Ying Lili, and I have to concentrate on painting."

"You still say it when you hear it?" Sixteen nights walked over holding back a smile.

"I just said it on purpose because I knew you could hear me." Wan Lihua snickered, "Did I say something wrong? Regardless of the changes in appearance, just in terms of temperament, you were not so gentle before."

"..." The corners of Shizayoi's mouth twitched.

He couldn't refute Wan Lihua's words.

In a sense, she even poked her own pain point.In the past, what he hated the most was the person who behaved like himself now, but now, for various things, he has devoted himself to improving his body and mind in the past seven years, and has completely become a man who is suitable for the identity of Tachibana Izayoi. look.

Except for Ying Lili's unreasonable intuition, basically no one else could recognize him.

On this point, just the reaction of my sister and Hayasaka is enough to show the effectiveness.

"But... I think it's good whether it was as Shizhu before or as Izayoi now." Ying Lili scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly.

Wanlihua suddenly put her hand heavily on Yinglili's shoulder, "My old friend, think about his behavior in the past, and look at his behavior now, can it really be the same?"

"Hey, ah..."

Sixteen nights sighed helplessly, "Really, there's no need to trick Ying Lili into doing such a strange multiple-choice question here, right? No matter what it looks like, it's me."

"Hmph..." Wan Lihua withdrew her hand with a laugh, sat on the stool and raised her face to look at Shizayoi.

Then they laughed together with him, only Ying Lili was left in the dark, at a loss as to where the point of the laugh was.

"When I came back, I heard from Ms. Mori that Yinglili and you were both in the studio—" Shiliuye glanced at the canvas, "I thought Wanlihua was the model for Yinglili, but it turned out not to be."

Wanli Huameifeng raised lightly, "Ying Lili hasn't started writing recently, and I thought you guys didn't plan to do it. But the work suddenly started these few days, which made me curious."

"Then you're here to give Yinglili advice." Shiliuye pulled the empty stool next to him, sat down and said.

"I'm telling the truth." Wan Lihua stuck out her tongue, defending quite confidently.

"You..." Izayo didn't mind, just stretched out a curved index finger, and gently scratched the bridge of her nose.

At this time, he noticed that Ying Lili had been looking at him, as if she had something to say.

"What's wrong? Stare at me." Izayoi asked.

Ying Lili stretched out her hand, "Can I touch it?"

"Have you touched a lot?" Wan Lihua complained.

"That's not what it means!" Ying Lili didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I want to...feel the shape of the bone."

"Okay, why not." Sixteen nights leaned forward, so that Ying Lili could touch his face with a little stretch of her hand.

When Ying Lili's fingertips were walking along the outline of the bones on Izayoi's cheeks, Wan Lihua also stretched out her hand to touch with a look of interest.

"Is the shape of the bone important?" Wan Lihua was a layman and couldn't understand.

"Speaking of which, these professional things are very complicated, so don't add to the confusion." Izayoi smiled softly, "I have to see my father later, and I don't have so much time to explain now."

"It's really busy." Wan Lihua sighed softly.

"I'm busy enough."

Izayoi ruffled her hair.

Chapter 44 The so-called parent-child

Later, in the water pavilion in the backyard.

Tachibana Izaya sat at the table and reached out to pick up the envelope that was mailed today.

It was said to be a mail, but it turned out to be an ordinary envelope size, and the contents were a bit heavy, and there was no delivery address, only a very simple "Mr.

He picked up the scissors, cut open the seal, and poured out the contents on the table.

It looks like a few sheets of paper stacked together.

He picked it up and was about to look at it when the door of the water pavilion was pulled open, and Ju Yan came to the water pavilion to look for him 10 minutes later.

I heard from Wan Lihua in the studio earlier that after dinner, she chatted with her father about homework for more than an hour.

"I'm back already, I'm really busy." Ju Yan didn't talk nonsense, and pulled the mat across from Shizaiye in a very easy-going way, and sat down cross-legged.

"It's all family affairs. Since my mother entrusted me to take care of it, I naturally need to pay more attention to it." Izayo smiled relaxedly, "Besides, my father is the police chief. No matter what, it is impossible to spare time to worry about these things."

On the one hand, it is the restriction of status, and on the other hand, Ju Qianhua doesn't want Ju Yan to take care of these things.

Besides, Juyan is over half a hundred years old. Although he looks young and vigorous, it is not as fast as a young man in Shizayoi to learn things that he has never touched in his previous life.

"Don't tire yourself too much, Wanli will be sad if you collapse." Ju Yan smiled.

Izayo nodded, "Thank you, Father, for your concern."

As he spoke, he naturally put the envelope and documents aside, and picked up a document on his left.

"It's already June now, and I remember my father's birthday is in mid-August." Shizayo looked up at Juyan, "Because it's not the fifth or tenth year, so I won't make a fuss about it. The preparations started in mid-April. Now that all the regulations have been roughly finalized, would you like to have a look at them, Father?"

"It's so fast." Ju Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It's not that he lamented the efficiency of Izayoi's work. A few years ago, his [-]th birthday was handled by Izayoi himself, so good that Ju Yan, who thought he was picky, had nothing to say.

What he felt was that he was one year older.Watching the child who was a little devil seven years ago become Tachibana Izayo, and gradually grow into the boy who is now in charge of his own affairs, it is inevitable that people feel that time is not forgiving.

"Father is still very young, please don't worry." Izayoi smiled.

Juyan didn't agree with Izayoi, but took the regulations he said, and opened it to see the contents.

There are a lot of details, Ju Yan only intends to take a look at the general idea, so as to avoid being the protagonist of the birthday banquet not knowing what Ishibayo has prepared.

"Oh? We invited a lot of guests this year." Ju Yan said.

"After all, it's my first year in Tokyo in the name of the young master of the Tachibana family. I want to take this opportunity to show off the Tachibana family." Izayoi said seriously, "I hope my father doesn't mind."

Ju Yan actually has no objection, he is the son-in-law of Ju's family, of course he understands his identity and position, but what he cares more about is——

"Where is she?"

"Mother has already read it, and her opinion is similar to that of Father." Izayo nodded, "But it's a big deal. Before the birthday banquet, Mother should leave to travel between Kyushu and Tokyo."

Ju Yan was quite surprised, "Is she willing to leave Kyushu?"

"It's up to people." Izayo smiled, "I will do my best to take care of these things."

"To be honest, in the entire Ju family, what she listens to the most is what you say." Ju Yan showed a wry smile, "Whether it's me or thousands of miles away, I'm not as good as you."

Izayoi was not very proud of this, he had a quiet smile on his face, "From my point of view, maybe my mother has not been prepared for how to spend the rest of my life with you since I married my father Naturally, I don't know how to treat Wanlihua as a child. Although she is a close relative, it is inevitable that some unnecessary barriers will arise."

As he said this, he slightly adjusted his sitting posture and leaned on the crutch, "As for me, I entered Ju's house as an outsider and obtained the identity of the son of the two. People are actually a little close, because I am an outsider, so my mother will subconsciously understand that I am just playing a mother, which is more natural than facing the real husband and daughter."

"But—" Ju Yan hesitated to speak.

"However, after seven years, even if it is false, it will become true. What's more, my father and my mother have never been hypocritical in their treatment of me. To me, they are my parents." Sixteen nights stated word by word, "Sharing parents' worries is not the duty of a son of man."

"That's right." Ju Yan smiled.

He is a successful police chief, but not an expressive man.

Izayo entered this family as an adopted son, and invisibly became a bridge connecting the estranged husband and wife and between mother and daughter.

"About a few days later, Mother will come to Tokyo, and she will definitely stay here." Izayoi showed a calm smile.

It's not that Ju Yan can't see Ju Qianhua at Ju's house, it's just that when she comes for business, she may not mean to meet her husband by the way.

And being in the middle to reconcile is one of the things that Izayoi can do.

"Don't force it, I don't want her to force herself." Ju Yan shook his head, then closed the charter document and put it on the table, "I came here to find you, you should have heard about it."

Izayoi took the document and raised his eyes slightly.

"I heard that Hamura Kehei, the second in command of the Songkin group, is suspected of murder. The trial has already started and he was declared innocent, isn't it?"

"Then you should also know that that man has just changed from a mastermind to an accomplice." Ju Yan said, "But this is not the point—"

"Not the point?"

"I have noticed that it seems that before the trial of this case, when the prosecution was coordinating information and evidence with the Metropolitan Police Department, Sigong's family members appeared."

"This is really interesting." Izayoya pulled two pens out of the pen holder, "Now Shinomiya Yunying is in Tokyo, discussing business with our Tachibana family, and at the same time avoiding the Shijo family's interference; and there is news that Shinomiya Huangguang is also secretly moving around Tokyo. Father, tell me, my two elder brothers of the Shinomiya main family, who cares about this case of the second-in-chief of a small gang?"

"It seems that it is necessary to follow this line to investigate." Ju Yan was thoughtful.

As he said, he picked up a file box from his side, which contained some unimportant but useful materials that he had asked to sort out.

"Regarding this case, let's look at relevant things."

"Ah."

Izayo didn't shy away, just nodded.

Chapter 45 Summer can get sick too

During the lunch break, Tachibana Izayo appeared at the door of Class A's classroom.

He seldom came to this classroom on his own initiative, so Wan Lihua didn't expect this situation. She was discussing with Eirari and Hayasaka about the daily things like waiting for the school to eat or club activities, so a classmate came to talk about it. When she was a child, Wan Lihua couldn't help being a little surprised.

So she had no choice but to leave the two of them and go to the door to talk to Izayoi.

"What's the matter? Elder brother came over after lunch break." Wan Lihua asked with a smile.

Shiliuye raised the bento bag in his hand and gestured to Wan Lihua, "Of course I came to have lunch with you, is it convenient?"

"Huh?" Wan Lihua was a little surprised.

In fact, it is rare for the two of them to propose such a formal invitation. If they really want to have that meaning, they should agree before going out in the morning.And Shiliuye is like this now, without even thinking about it, he knows it's time to eat and talk about some important things by the way.

"Okay. But I have to tell Ying Lili and Xiao Ai." Wan Lihua nodded of course, and turned back to her seat to pack her things.

Izayo, who was waiting at the door, looked slightly at Eiriri and Hayasaka at this moment. He maintained his usual soft smile and nodded his greetings to them.

Hayasaka nodded back naturally, but Eriri was afraid that she might miss something, so she turned her eyes away from him first.From the perspective of others, it seemed that he was still avoiding Izayoi and was not very willing to talk to him.

Naturally, this point did not escape Hayasaka's attention. After Wan Lihua left, she said softly, a little puzzled: "Eriri...it seems that she is not used to being in contact with Tachibana."

"...I, I'm not very good at dealing with that person..." Ying Lili stammered.

This kind of blunt reaction deepened the credibility, so Hayasaka didn't ask any more questions.

She thought about it, Izayoi might be easy for everyone to get along with, even if they met for the first time, they could chat, but for Yinglili, maybe he was a little too dazzling.

"Now that Wanlihua is called away by her brother, what shall we do? Go to the activity room?" Hayasaka asked Eriri, "They don't seem to be going."

"Then let's go to the activity room." Ying Lili nodded in agreement.

"Then shall I go too?" Hui Ye also came over at this time, "Today the student union has no plans, so I won't go at noon."

"Yeah." Hayasaka responded softly.
