Civilization Guardian Front

...

When you enter the house, the door closed behind you is automatically locked.

"Miss, you are back."

The helper Akiyo Sada came up to meet her, reaching out to take the schoolbag for Asuna.

"It's okay, Ms. Sada, I can take these upstairs by myself."

Asuna leaned on the wall with one hand, took out her left and right feet from the uniform women's shoes, and then slipped them into indoor slippers.

"Do you want me to get you something to eat?"

"I'll make a simple sandwich later with the ingredients I found in the fridge, please don't worry about me." After picking up garbage from the streets and ports all morning, Asuna did feel a little hungry now, but she didn't want to bother others.

Climb up the wide staircase drawn in a semicircle to the second floor.

"Miss, madam called 10 minutes ago, but hung up after learning that you haven't come home yet."

Hearing this, Asuna was startled.

She quickly found a mobile phone in her schoolbag.

During the cleaning of the street, in order to prevent it from falling out of the uniform pocket due to movement, and at the same time, she also had the idea of ​​not wanting to affect other people. She set the phone to silent and put it in the school bag, but then accidentally forgot it.

Turn off standby and look at the notification bar, and sure enough, there are two missed calls from my mother.

As an off-campus landscaping committee member, she is responsible for cleaning the community every Monday and Thursday morning during the winter vacation. She has already reported this matter to her mother, Kyoko Yuki.

Considering that this can add a record of enthusiasm for public welfare to her daughter's academic career and help her apply for well-known foreign schools in the future, Kyoko has no objection.

Asuna remembered that before going out this morning, she had to mention this matter to her mother again.

In this case, why are you in a hurry to find her now...

The girl who grew up under the education of parents with strong purpose in action has a premonition that this will be related to her future life arrangement.

There was a trace of conflict in the depths of his heart, but it was quickly suppressed by the submissive psychology.

Thumb down communication options.

As soon as the dial tone rang, the other party connected...

"Why didn't you check your phone?"

Yuki Kyoko's calm and stern words came flying.

Faced with the accusation, knowing that what her mother really wanted to hear was not the reason for making a mistake, Asuna, like in the past, chose the answer that would not receive more scolding:

"Sorry. "

"...are you home now?"

"yes. "

"Okay, I'm on my way back. I'll explain the situation to you when I get home. Use this time to take a shower, don't leave the smell of garbage at home, and wait for me in the living room after tidying up, understand?"

"Yes, Mom."

beep...

A notification tone sounds for the end of the call.

The girl's hand holding the mobile phone dropped.

Exactly when did it start to become like this...

Talking with my mother, what I feel is not the warmth that comforts the tired, but the fear of being reprimanded on thin ice, and the involuntary suffocation of fate.

Perhaps, the happy family did not exist from the very beginning.

In my mind, the deepest memory of my mother is the severe reprimands and irrefutable instructions time and time again.

Asuna's father, Yuki Shozo, is the CEO of the large electronics manufacturer "RECT". He spends most of his time at work and rarely appears at home.

The only elder brother who took good care of her became busier after work.

The family gathers together, basically only when they visit the Yuuki family in Kyoto every year to visit relatives and elders.

In such a large bungalow, it is not the family members who are supposed to be the closest, but Ms. Sada, who works as a helper at home, who usually cares about his daily life.

With dark thoughts in his mind, Asuna's five fingers resting on the handrail of the stairs slightly exerted force.

Want to escape this breathless space.

I want to resist the coldness that is gradually withdrawing from my body temperature.

In vain let go of the hand that failed to leave the slightest grip on the hard wood.

Yes, she actually knows better than anyone...

I can't do it myself.

Because of what my mother arranged, there is no doubt that it is the right path that can avoid many rough and detours in life. In the face of absolute correctness, childish and immature views and struggles will only be smashed to pieces.

Yuuki Asuna...

Always a bird in a cage.

Chapter 790 five? Tutor

Taking off her school uniform in the locker room, Asuna stepped barefoot on the heated tiles of the underground pipeline into the shower room, and turned the faucet counterclockwise to the hot water zone.

The pressurized jet of water from the shower head wets the chestnut hair...

It has not been fully heated, and the water injected into the pipeline from the ice bucket-like water tower in winter directly slaps on the skin, making the girl shiver uncontrollably.

She hugged her naked body with her hands, as if she could keep some of the passing body temperature.

useless...

Even self-harm can only go so far, no wonder you can't muster up the courage to stand up to anything.

The inner voice said so mockingly.

Gradually warm water flowed over the cheeks that were pale due to the cold under the shadow of the bangs, Asuna bit her lower lip, and her hands clenched against the wall were so hard that they trembled slightly.

hiss... hiss...

patter patter...

The faint whimper was covered by the sound of running water.

3 minute later...

Only then did the girl open her red and swollen eyes, scooped up a handful of clear water with both palms and washed her face, stretched out her hand and pressed the bubble bottle on the shelf, and began to cleanse her body.

...

After taking a bath, pick up the hair dryer in front of the dressing table to dry the half-dried hair and smooth it with a comb, get up and leave the round stool, and the three-sided mirror that was unfolded before will be automatically folded and put away.

He took out a white shirt and a long skirt from the closet beside him and changed them on. He had just fastened the zipper and fastened the hook when he heard movement from downstairs.

Asuna quickly checked her appearance in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and walked from the room to the dark corridor.

When he hurried downstairs, he happened to see Kyoko Yuki who took off his coat and handed it to the helper.

"Mom, welcome back."

Hearing the sound, Kyoko Yuki raised her face.

The hair dyed dark brown is cut to the shoulders, and the forehead is partly exposed in the bangs. The well-maintained appearance weakens the traces of the years, with a correctness that does not match the actual age, and the shrewd and capable temperament is as sharp as a blade.

Swept by her mother's scrutiny, Asuna's nerves, which had been slightly relaxed after taking a shower, suddenly tightened like winding...

"Um."

Satisfied with her daughter's groomed appearance, Kyoko nodded slightly.

"Asuna, let's talk in the living room."

"Yes."

Asuna bowed her head obediently, folded her hands in front of her and walked downstairs, passing by Akiyo Sato who was carrying his coat to the cloakroom, and followed her mother into the living room.

"Is there any problem with studying?"

It is rare for a mother who left the university office early to rush home to ask her daughter's homework, which has never bothered her so far, first.

It is probably a prelude to pave the way for the next content...

The girl who had learned to observe words and expressions from a young age thought so, but still did not dare to neglect, and replied seriously:

"No, I can keep up with the progress of all subjects, and occasionally I will ask the school teacher for advice if I don't understand."

"yes..."

Hearing the expected answer, Kyoko responded lightly.

A soft look flashed in her eyes, but the fleeting light was not seen by Asuna who was sitting opposite her with her eyes downcast on her lap.

"Asuna, you are both talented and hardworking enough. Mom believes that the schoolwork will not fail you."

After hearing this silently, the girl had a premonition that a turning point was coming.

In the next second, sure enough...

"However, in order to make your study more smooth and fulfilling, mother decided to hire a tutor for you..." Speaking of business, Kyoko Yuki sat upright, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Being tall, she deliberately developed this habit to create a condescending sense of oppression.

"He recently came to Qingshan as an exchange student from the University of Bologna in Italy. While double majoring in law and medicine, he also completed all elective credits in just two years. He is currently planning to switch to economics after graduation. Master's preparation."

"Students from Italy..."

Asuna whispered to herself, reflexively thinking of the young man she met earlier on the way home.

No, how could it be such a coincidence...

Shaking her head secretly, she continued to listen to her mother:

"This morning, he came to the office with three letters of recommendation from the presidents of the universities of Bologna, Rome, and Milan, hoping that I can guide him in writing his thesis in the future. After spending some time talking with him, I unexpectedly learned that he is looking for a part-time job. .."

Speaking of this, Yuki Kyoko's usual calm tone obviously began to become a little anxious.

As if encountering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the anxiety of fear of missing it.

Asuna had never seen her mother like this.

Even when she introduced those young talents with extraordinary family backgrounds to her before, her mother was never so eager.

"Although there is a full scholarship, living in Tokyo costs money in many places, and he doesn't want to ask for it from his family, so he plans to find a job that won't take up too much time. Mom thinks he is very good, and he will never be better than your school Any teacher is inferior. In addition, through his own and family connections behind him, when you graduate from high school, you can choose from almost all the top universities in Europe."

Although this point has been said, Yuki Kyoko still has reservations and did not reveal the most shocking information.

That young man turned out to be the sixth generation member of the Agnelli family...

The Italian legendary family in charge of the top [-] of the world's top [-] EXOR holding company with an annual revenue of more than [-] billion U.S. dollars, has such a prominent family background, but the other party deliberately found herself who is currently only an associate professor. The only thing Kyoko Yuki could think of The reason is Yuuki Honke.

When I come to a foreign country to study alone, I may occasionally encounter troubles that cannot be solved by money alone...

This sort of thing is best left to influential locals.

And her husband, Yuki Shozo, was born in a family with a history of more than 200 years. It has produced many politicians and entrepreneurs, and it is quite influential in Japan.

For the Yuki family, whether it is Yuki Kyoko's own business or the development of her husband's company "RECT", this is an extremely rare opportunity to step into the European academia and the electronic product market.

However, Asuna, who is currently only a student, doesn't need to know this...

"You are a smart child, you should be able to understand the intentions of your mother's arrangements, right?"

"yes..."

Asuna knew she had no other choice.

Through her mother's attitude, she knew that the new tutor who hadn't met must have a lot of background.

Even if the other party doesn't know how to teach at all, and the class is just a waste of time, I can't ask my mother to dismiss, and I even have to be careful not to offend the other party, so as not to cause trouble for my parents.

Seeing that her daughter showed no signs of conflict, Yuuki Kyoko was relieved and continued:

"It's your first class at three o'clock this afternoon."

"Before he left in the morning, he said that he was going to deal with moving things... It was a coincidence that his house was actually bought in Setagaya, not more than one kilometer away from our house."

"what?"
