"Drink slowly, don't choke." He concentrated on paying attention to the speed at which Concubine Zhen drank water, and controlled the range of raising her hand.

Judging from Zhenfei's state of no stress response, Izayoi's judgment was not wrong.

Looking at the girl who was clumsily acting like a baby to him, he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Half a glass of water was drank in the blink of an eye, Zhen Fei pursed her lips and nodded, apparently this was enough.So Shiliuye planned to let go of Concubine Zhen, put down the cup and sit back on the stool by the way.

As a result, an even more surprising reaction happened. Concubine Zhen twisted her body into his arms like a child, and then got into it again, as if she didn't want to leave.

"Ok."

Concubine Zhen is not someone else, of course Shiliuye is willing to let her act like a baby, but he has some doubts about his identity, if it is Ying Lili and Wan Lihua who come back, it is okay, but if it is Emperor, he may be in trouble.

In particular, it is very likely that Concubine Zhen may not remember what happened at this moment after she recovers from her illness.

At that time, it will become him shamelessly taking advantage of his sister. Thinking of the troubles that will follow afterwards, Izayoi has a headache.

But concerns are all concerns, Sixteen Nights will not push Zhenfei away just because of this, and let her lie down obediently to recuperate her sick body.

After reluctantly putting the water glass back on the bedside table, he adjusted his sitting posture on the bedside so that Concubine Zhen could lean more comfortably in his arms.

In this posture, he asked himself that he was very experienced.

Concubine Zhen was also obviously satisfied, she tilted her head silently, her head rested near his neck, and the scorching breath from the high fever fell near the chest of the shirt.

With a little intention of getting out as soon as possible, Izayo regularly patted Zhenfei's arm with his left hand, distracting her attention through repetitive movements and falling asleep.

"Thank you." Concubine Zhen thanked her in a low voice.

"Don't be polite with me, you are a patient." Sixteen nights smiled.

He lowered his head and couldn't see Concubine Zhen's expression, so he gave up on spying.

He is too good at observing people's hearts and ghosts, and this state of unpredictable thoughts is somewhat unaccustomed to him.

"Let me tell you, Concubine Zhen." Sixteen Nights casually picked up a topic, "You look pretty with your hair down, why do you have to tie that braid like a child's?"

"... Bamboo..." Zhenfei murmured.

"What?" Sixteen nights didn't hear clearly.

"...Dianthus..." she repeated.

"Huh?" Shiliuye was startled, he didn't know if his heart beat faster.

Unlike Ying Lili who will definitely recognize him, so Izayoi was prepared from the beginning, he never expected the possibility of Zhenfei recognizing him.

never now...

Then, Concubine Zhen's next words dispelled his doubts.

"Dianzhu said before... I look good with my hair down." Concubine Zhen explained slowly in a quiet tone, "But...he is gone."

For a very strange reason, even Izayoi couldn't understand the meaning in the girl's words for a while.

"So... that Dianthus didn't say anything bad about you, why did you give up letting your hair down?"

Izayoi threw out his doubts.

Chapter 48 Fatal Mistakes

He admits that he has a bit of curiosity to get to the bottom of it, and more, he has begun to realize that Concubine Zhen has not so simple kinship feelings for him in the past.

It's something deeper...something.

Therefore, Izayo couldn't help but ask the question.

"Because I don't want to..." Concubine Zhen said softly.

"Don't want to?"

"... Shizhu is gone, if other boys say she looks good..." Zhen Fei's low voice hides a faint sadness, "I will think that the person who told me this way at the beginning is gone... It's very sad... "

"At first..." Shiliuye was stunned.

The dusty memories seemed to be blown away by the wind, and some dusty fragments became clear again.

He finally remembered some details that he had accidentally overlooked a long time ago.

In fact, when I first met Concubine Zhen, she did have two braids tied like this, until one time when she was considering whether to cut some off because her hair was long, she untied her hair in front of him and planned to tie it again stand up.

"Huh!I think you look better with your hair down! 』

"...Who, who believes in you! 』

At that time, Concubine Zhen tied her hair back up almost quickly, and Shizaiye just said it in passing, so she didn't think about it at all.

Conveying praise and kindness as naturally as breathing is an expression habit he honed in order to resist the education of the Shinomiya family.

So he ignored the deeper truth.

If the person he sincerely praised didn't just pass it as a compliment...

And then... until the day of parting on the night of the fire, Concubine Zhen still kept the habit of letting her hair down, so Izayoi specially bought a hair clip for her at the beginning.

Now that I think about it, she seems to be wearing that not-so-expensive hairpin every time we meet.

Even if it is a particularly formal and grand occasion.

This young girl who is not good at expressing her feelings expresses her appreciation for everything related to Shigong Shizhu in the most obscure and appropriate way she thinks.

And he... even though he changed his appearance and became more understanding of people's hearts, he still didn't realize the unrevealed softness in Concubine Zhen's heart.

"But...if you hide your best state for this reason." Izayoi sighed softly, "Even if that carnation finds out, won't it be happy?"

"really?"

"...At least, he won't want to see you so unable to let go." Sixteen nights said, "I heard people say that when the dead rest in peace, don't think about it again. All the thoughts in this world are worries. If the living can't let go, The souls of the dead will not rest in peace. If you can't cut off the karma of the floating world, how can you ascend to the kingdom of heaven early?"

He carefully spoke words that might be forgotten by Concubine Zhen after a nap.

Maybe it was a futile act of fetching water from the bamboo basket, but Shizaya still couldn't help but tell her that.

Then, Concubine Zhen suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha..." the girl said weakly, "The way you speak is very similar to Shizhu..."

"yes."

"Well, it's really similar... If I didn't know that you are Izayoi, I might have mistaken you..." Zhenfei's voice of agreement became softer and softer, and the ending sound was as thin as a mosquito, and Izayoi could hardly hear it Cleared up.

Shiliuye was worried, tilted his head slightly and looked down, only to find that Concubine Zhen had fallen asleep again, but there was more peace in that sleeping face.

He couldn't help but smile wryly.

Concubine Zhen felt at ease, but he couldn't calm down.

It was like a fatal mistake, and Izayo couldn't help but blame himself.

He had never seriously looked at Concubine Zhen's heart, but only regarded her as a junior from the Sitiao family who had a distant blood relationship with him.

"I'm really... very sorry, Concubine Zhen." Izayo gently stroked her cheek and whispered.

At this time, there was a voice from the door, and he had no time to put down the real concubine, so he could only turn around and saw Ying Lili walking in cautiously.

"Sixteen nights, what's going on here?" Ying Lili asked in a low voice as she walked over.

"Just fell asleep."

Accompanied by Shiliuye's answer, Ying Lili walked to the bed, only to notice that Concubine Zhen fell asleep in Shiliuye's arms.

"Really..." Ying Lili was surprised, "By the way, what are you doing? Don't you want to take advantage of Zhenfei's inability to resist?"

"Yinglili..." Izayoi was almost speechless.

Ying Lili laughed, "I was just joking."

"It's really hard to learn from Wanlihua." Shiliuye also teased.

Yinglili simply sat by the bed, "Then what should we do next? Are you going to hold Concubine Zhen and wait for Wanlihua to cook the porridge?"

"That's not enough." Shizaiye shook his head.

He gently supported Concubine Zhen's body, and slowly put her down on the bed, Ying Lili also tacitly pulled the pillow over and placed it behind Concubine Zhen's head.

When Concubine Zhen lay flat, Shiliuye tucked the corner of the quilt, and couldn't help sighing again.

"Her condition is not optimistic?" Ying Lili asked worriedly.

Sixteen nights shook his head, sat back on the stool, and looked into her sea-colored eyes, "I just didn't expect to find out today that I missed something very important. If I continue like this, I will hurt my important people."

"What?" Ying Lili asked.

"Uh...it might be weird for me..." Izayo scratched his cheeks embarrassedly, "Maybe Zhenfei likes me...not as a relative, but as a member of the opposite sex..."

Obviously, he also knew how popular he was, but when he said such words, he twitched rarely.

"Well, that's it." Ying Lili's reaction was extremely flat.

It was so plain that Izayoi began to think that he had a great illusion.

"You...that's all you think?" Shiliuye was stunned, and then complained quietly.

Ying Lili shook her head and answered him honestly: "Actually, I only found out recently, just a little earlier than you."

"Eh? Did you hear what Concubine Zhen said?" Shiliuye felt that there were a lot of unexpected things today.

"No, no, I heard what Wan Lihua said." Ying Lili stroked her hair, "She seems to have known it a long time ago... eight or nine years ago."

"No way..." Shiliuye was stunned.

Ying Lili thinks it is acceptable, "Who made her say at that time that she would be your bride in the future? In her eyes at the time, any girl who has a good relationship with you and can marry is a stealing cat."

"Ahahaha..." Izayo could only grin his lips and let out a shriveled, inaudible laugh.

Eiriri, who had obviously accepted any possibility in the future, smiled thoughtfully and took Izayoi's hand to comfort him.

Today, Tachibana Izayo once again understands how unreasonable the girl's intuition is sometimes.

This is true for Yingli pear, and even more so for Wanlihua.

Chapter 49 Parallel

Although it was to visit Concubine Zhen's illness, Concubine Zhen couldn't bear the exhaustion, and when Wan Lihua suddenly wanted to borrow concubine Zhen's kitchen to cook porridge, she fell asleep again because of exhaustion.

Originally, Emperor Sitiao planned to keep the three of them for a meal, but he was rejected by Shiliuye because of the inconvenience of the occasion, and the pot of porridge cooked by Wan Lihua was taken by the eager Emperor when he sent them away. Consent to enjoy.

Fortunately, Concubine Zhen fell ill on the weekend, and with the meticulous care of Sitiao's family in two days, Concubine Zhen resumed normal schooling the next day after the three of them visited the sick.

Apart from looking a bit unwell, his steps were very steady.

But in the eyes of the students in Class B, she seemed to have completely changed her appearance, making those boys who usually didn't pay much attention to her couldn't help but stare at her.

Naturally, Bai Muzhu would not miss this change, she immediately walked over to greet the concubine Zhen while she was seated.

"Concubine Zhen, is your body alright?"

"Well, it's much better, don't worry." Concubine Zhen showed a bright smile and thanked Kashiwagi.

"That's good... When I went to see you on Sunday, you couldn't get up at all." Kashiwagi also heaved a sigh of relief.

Most people can tell at a glance whether the disease is so good that it does not affect their actions.

"What's wrong? Is there something strange about me?" Zhenfei sat on the seat, and Kashiwagi asked a question, borrowing the seat of a classmate who didn't show up in the front row.

Bai Mu was stunned for a moment, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Well...why did Concubine Zhen suddenly change her hairstyle?"

This is the "makeover" that makes the whole class look at it.

She used to wear her hair in two small braids, but she suddenly let her hair down, and only pinned a hairpin on one side of her temple as a decoration.

Obviously it was just the simplest move, but it changed the whole temperament, almost not losing to that Miss Shijo Kaguya who was related to her by blood.

"Hey... this..." Concubine Zhen was stunned for a moment, she pinched her hair a little embarrassedly, and laughed helplessly, "I just thought it was a bit troublesome, so I changed it after thinking about it. Would it be strange?"

"No, it's better to say that Concubine Zhen's long hair looks better like this." Baimu's eyes lit up, and then he touched the tip of his short hair, blushing slightly, and said, "Should I also grow my hair longer? ..."

"Hahaha..." Concubine Zhen just responded with a smile.

While she was chatting with Kashiwagi before the class morning meeting, there was an easy-going greeting from the back door that could be recognized at first sight.

You don't even need to think about it, you know it's the sixteenth night.
