It's just that it's been ten years since she turned around, and the former Shinomiya Shizhu has changed her appearance and turned into Tachibana Izayoi. She can't even use a light-hearted and joking tone to lament this kind of hidden coincidence.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhen's nose became slightly sore, she silently lowered her head, trying to hold back her tears, not to let herself cry.

"Ah, actually, about this matter..." Izayoi's voice was a bit more awkward, "I came here specially to apologize to you separately."

"Huh?" Concubine Zhen looked at a loss.

Sixteen nights touched his nose, "When I was in the sea, I didn't do it to help you breathe, what's wrong with that..."

"..." Concubine Zhen was stunned for a moment, a blush rushed to her cheeks.

After escaping from danger, all kinds of things were like a mess, Concubine Zhen almost forgot about it. According to the general situation, it would take at least two days for her to remember it, and then she cared so much that she cared about it to death.

"I'm really sorry. The situation was urgent at that time. I was worried that you would be suffocating due to lack of oxygen. I couldn't wait to float to the surface." Sixteen nights pressed his knees, bowed his head deeply, and apologized to Concubine Zhen.

He did it entirely out of his own heart.

Although he knew that the real concubine might have special feelings for "Shinomiya Shizhu", but now he can only be "Tangerine Sixteen Nights", it is impossible to clarify the answer, and he can't use it as an excuse.

And most importantly, he knew that Concubine Zhen had never been in love. For her, breathing underwater was her first kiss.

Leaving aside what Shiliuye thinks about Concubine Zhen in his heart, he at least understands that he can't pretend to be ignorant of this matter, and just avoid talking about it.

That would become a thorn between him and the real concubine now.

"...I don't care, anyway, it's you..."

Concubine Zhen muttered in a voice that only she could hear, feeling a little happy in her heart.

The first kiss was the first kiss. Although the occasion was a bit strange, it was not a disadvantage if it was given to the person she liked. What's more, the other party still cared about her very much now, so she felt an inexplicable secret joy.

"what?"

Izayoi who didn't know what she was talking about asked.

Then Concubine Zhen let out a low exclamation as if she had been burned, "Oh... ah, that, it's nothing, do you need to be so petty?"

"Petish?" Sixteen nights was taken aback.

Concubine Zhen tried her best to use her brain, thinking about how to make Shiliuye believe that she didn't care at all.

Let's talk about it later.

"Let me ask you, do you really want to kiss me?" Concubine Zhen blushed and cheered herself up with a rough voice.

She carefully peeked at his face, wanting to know his truest thoughts at the first time.

Izayo was dumbfounded, "Then at least you can't think about it..."

"Then, there's no problem!" Concubine Zhen clapped her hands a little discouraged, her voice was a little loud, which startled herself, "...you don't want to kiss me, you're just in a hurry to save someone! "

"You really, think so?" Izayoi was quite difficult to fool.

Concubine Zhen was anxious for a while, complaining that this guy really became a ghost after not seeing him for a long time.

She simply stared at Izayoi with a fierce face.

"I said it's okay if it's okay, isn't it just a change of breath? You go to see the ambulancemen, maybe how many artificial respirations are needed a day, according to what you said, it's the same as kissing casually between men and women!"

"That's an exaggeration. Lifeguards are a job... You're insulting a profession." Izayoi tried to defend himself.

"Then why don't you treat what you do as a lifeguard's job? Could it be that you are the kind of gynecologist who doesn't want to see women from relatives and friends?" Zhen Fei angrily criticized.

"...that's true."

Shiliuye didn't come here to argue with Concubine Zhen who was right and wrong, so he didn't think much about it.

Seeing that Concubine Zhen pointed out that there was no injustice in the whole matter in an orderly manner, Izayoi finally felt relieved.

"Right."

Seeing that Concubine Zhen finally persuaded Shizaye, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm overthinking." He nodded, "Then I'll go out first, you have a good rest, Miss Sen will come over to take care of you later. I'll see you at dinner."

"Ah."

After watching Shiliuye close the door and go out, Concubine Zhen fell limply on the bed, and she caressed her lips with her hand absently.

"...I don't remember what it feels like at all..."

Chapter No.17 Lively Kitchen

After coming out of Concubine Zhen's room, Izayo walked to the turning staircase between the male and female guest rooms, and met Emperor who came out of his room.

"How is sister?"

Looking at the behavior of the emperor, he planned to check on his sister's condition before going downstairs.

"It seems that she is in good spirits and has not been greatly affected, but I still suggest that she rest in the room and ask Sen to take care of her during the time before dinner." Sixteen nights explained concisely.

Di frowned slightly, and smiled helplessly but reassuringly, "That's good..."

"I made you worry. It's because I didn't arrange well this time, because I thought everyone was at this age, and I didn't arrange too many irrelevant people to be present, so I could have more fun at the beach." Shizayoi was also very sorry, "Sure enough, we still can't relax in terms of safety."

As he spoke, he wanted to bow his head and apologize, but he was supported by Di while bending down.

"Hey, raise your head...I really can't blame you for this matter." Di didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I know you have a serious sense of responsibility, but this kind of habit should be left to the Ju family's affairs, and you don't have to do it to us all. "

Shiliuye looked at Di in surprise, "But Concubine Zhen is your sister after all. We have known each other for more than five years. I really..."

"But you were the first to rush out, right?" Di said.

Even though he had reached the shore at that time, the emperor could see clearly. When Bai Yingui on the bank shouted "Senior Concubine Zhen", the emperor saw his sister drowning.Before the others could react in surprise, Izayoi had already jumped into the sea with a plop, and swam towards the place where Concubine Zhen was drowning.

"I..." Izayo smiled helplessly, "It's just that the body reacted one step ahead of the mind."

Di withdrew his hand and looked at him thoughtfully, "That really doesn't look like you."

"Oh?"

"In the past few years I have known you, I have heard you talk the most, either 'make a decision before acting' or 'think twice before acting'. I asked you to help investigate Shizhu's matter before, and you have always maintained a cautious attitude." Emperor thought for a while, "I always thought you were a person who would not be impulsive even if the sky fell."

Regarding this point, Tei was actually quite emotional. He originally thought that Izayoi was a very rational and humane character, but he never expected that there would be such a moment of willful behavior.

"Human life is at stake. Concubine Zhen has no time to wait for my plan to act." Shiliuye shook her head.

In fact, he also jumped into the water and swam halfway before he realized how anxious he was.

If something unexpected happened to Concubine Zhen, Izayoi would not be able to forgive herself.

"That's right." Di smiled again, he felt that his feelings were a bit superfluous, "I really appreciate you putting your life on the line for my sister."

"This is what I should do."

Afterwards, Shizaiye and Di chatted a little more about this incident in front of the stairs, and finally, Di firmly stopped him from letting Tachibana's security personnel enter the villa area to avoid any more dangerous thoughts.

After all, there is safety in this way, but there is less private space, and in the end it will make it impossible for everyone to relax and enjoy the rest of the vacation time.

After parting from Shijodi at the top of the stairs, Izayoi went downstairs alone.

In the kitchen, Wan Lihua is already preparing with Bai Yingui, Ying Lili, Hayasaka and the others there.

It's just that Ying Lili doesn't have any experience in housework, and she just watches from the side, helping that thing pass a tool or something.

On the contrary, Baiyin Yuxing, who everyone knows is very good at housework, was disgusted and driven away by his sister because he was a boy, so he could only stand a few meters away.

"It's already this time." Shizaiye glanced at the clock on the wall, "Shall I help too?"

As he spoke, he took out a spare apron from the cabinet and put it on for himself.

Seeing that another boy was about to join the preparations in the kitchen, Baiyin Yuxing suddenly felt a little relaxed and proud, and wanted to see how his sister would drive away the host, Izayoi.

"Brother, is your lord coming too?" Wan Lihua twisted her waist, and gently pushed against the cabinet door to close it.

"You can't just let you do things there." Sixteen nights said, "And it's agreed that everyone will have a self-service barbecue in the evening. We will prepare here in advance, and a few more people will help. The preparations can be done earlier, can't we?"

Wan Lihua shrugged, "I have no objection."

"Hey, ah, that senior Wanlihua...is it really okay to let Mr. Ju do this kind of thing?" Xiao Gui was obviously panicked.

It's not that Izayoi's joining will make her feel that her brother is a boy, so the reason for being in the way is untenable, but that Izayoko herself is a noble person to the Baiyin family. She works hard to help in the kitchen, just to try her best to repay the favor.

"Don't look at his elder brother's appearance that he doesn't touch the spring water with his fingers. In fact, in terms of housework, I don't think he may be worse than Xiaogui's brother." Wan Lihua blinked playfully.

Hayasaka was obviously surprised, showing curious eyes, "In this case, I would like to see it."

"Uh... You're here, can I go to the living room to rest now?" Ying Lili, who was originally unable to help and could only lend a helping hand occasionally, felt that no matter how many people there were, she would really have to jostle her shoulders, so she pretended to be polite. Ask sixteen nights.

"Of course, Sawamura-san doesn't have to force himself to work hard here." Izayoi secretly gave a relieved look.

Then Ying Lili obediently took off her apron, pulled on her slippers and went to the living room.

Kaguya and Fujiwara were watching TV in the living room, and other people gathered around, but it seemed that it was more deserted over there, and someone needed to go there.

As for the president's insistence on coming to help, Izayo thought it was probably because he wanted to show his hard work and ability in front of Hui Ye.

"Then please, brother, go to the cold storage to help bring over the Spanish ham." Wan Lihua said, "You can't just barbecue at night, you have to have some other side dishes."

"Honeydew melon with sliced ​​ham? It's a good idea." Izayo nodded, turned and left towards the cold storage.

"Student Tachibana, what can I do?"

The president knew how to seize the opportunity, took the opportunity to ignore his sister's wink, and hurriedly asked politely.

"Huh? Can the president help Xiaogui prepare vegetables? It will take quite a lot to make mixed barbecue skewers later." Wan Lihua ignored these innocuous little thoughts, and she directed casually, "After all, there are a lot of people."

"I see, Xiaogui has no objections, right?" the president promised while looking at his sister proudly.

Xiaogui glared at his elder brother angrily, then snorted and stepped aside, "Yeah."

Anyway, in terms of mood, she doesn't really dislike preparing the ingredients for dinner with her brother.

Hayasaka, who didn't talk much, saw through the unique relationship between the siblings and couldn't help but find it interesting.She held back her laughter, said to go to the cold storage to see the ingredients, and then went to the cold storage.

Chapter 18 Eyes That Can't Be Hidden

"What are you doing?"

After entering the small cold storage of the villa, Hayasaka saw that Izayoi had found the Spanish ham, but he didn't rush to take it out, but put it on the side cabinet, where he was counting things.

"Oh, it's nothing." Izayo looked back and saw that it was Hayasaka, and smiled softly, "Up to a week ago, the villa here was lent to the family of the president of a ceramics company for vacation, because this kind of thing often happens, The villa will regularly update the special ingredients in the cold storage. After all, the refrigerator is so big, and if you stay for a few more days, you won’t have enough food. You may not be able to buy good things in the nearby commercial streets, and it will waste your time if you go to the nearby commercial street. gone."

"Really." Hayasaka actually didn't intend to ask such details, she didn't expect Izayoi to speak so clearly.

"I'm just checking to see if it's still edible, lest other people live here and it's okay, I entertain relatives and friends myself, and everyone gets food poisoning." Sixteen nights smiled bitterly, "But don't worry, I just checked everything, and there are many things that were put in yesterday."

The temperature in the cold storage was not high, so Hayasaka leaned against the door, talking to Izayoi.On the contrary, she admired Izayoi a little, wearing short sleeves and capri pants, and staying in such a low temperature environment for a long time.

"Are you being too cautious?" Hayasaka asked, "It's... about Miss Zhenfei, do you think you should be more careful?"

Sixteen nights nodded, "That's right. But even if there is no such thing, I will confirm it. After all, they are all things that go into the stomach, and if you don't pay attention, there will be problems."

"Just like if the blood and internal organs of puffer fish are not cleaned, people who eat them will be poisoned?" Hayasaka gave an example.

Before Wanlihua entertained them to the Tachibana's villa, she cooked fugu dishes by herself, and the last and most critical step was that Wanlihua would personally taste the first bite after it was ready.

Even if there is no problem, it is a necessary step.

"Hahaha!" Sixteen Nights laughed.

Obviously, the example Hayasaka gave just hit his point of laughter.

"It's not that exaggerated, but the truth is similar." Izayo looked at Hayasaka across the table in the cold storage, "Some things have to be confirmed to be all right, so that people can feel at ease."

"That's true." Hayasaka agreed deeply.

To be honest, apart from those extremely personal and subjective factors, she actually admired the way of thinking and acting style of this boy named Tachibana Izayoi.

"But having said that, what did Hayasaka-san come to the cold storage for?" Shizaya asked.

Hayasaka was stunned for a moment, and then added after a pause: "The honeydew melon in the refrigerator in the kitchen outside has been eaten by everyone after returning from the beach. I want to ask if there is any more here. After all, you just said that you want to use honeydew melon with Spanish ham."

"Oh." Izayo pointed to the side of the door where Hayasaka was leaning against, "There is a box on the shelf, which is the honeydew melon shipped from Yubari three days ago."

"I see, thank you." Hayasaka started to move again, and after moving the box down, he picked out two good-looking honeydew melons and prepared to take them out.

At this moment, Shiliuye suddenly spoke up from behind: "I came to the cold storage specially for the two honeydew melons, and there will be insufficient staff in the kitchen."

"It's not like that. The ingredients for the barbecue tonight have been prepared in a hurry. The next thing to prepare is other side dishes besides the barbecue." Hayasaka held the melon with both hands quite innocently, and gently weighed it up and down.

"Really." Izayoi was noncommittal.

Hayasaka's face was slightly flushed, and he looked as if he was shy.
