Can't you just leave me alone?

"Really, even if you want to tell me the principle of [combining work and rest], don't make such a nasty joke." Shijo Zhenfei said with some anger, "I won't be so disturbed in my work and rest! "

"Yes, I am reflecting on it."

Yuanjing said this quite sincerely.

He didn't expect that Concubine Sijo would be so deeply involved, so he overdid it a little.

"Not to mention that the Shijo family will have a specialized doctor to pay attention to the health of the clansmen. At that time, [he] will definitely pay attention to my physical condition, and he will definitely not let me become like that."

"[He]?" Yuan Jing repeated the word with some doubts, "Who is [He]?"

"Wh-who else could it be?" After being asked this question, the angry look on Shijo Zhenfei's face froze slightly, revealing a somewhat awkward expression, "Of course it's my husband."

"..."

"What, that 'so that's how it is' shocking expression of yours! After more than ten years, I will be in my 30s. Isn't it normal to be married? I must even have children!"

The ladylike demeanor of Concubine Sijo had been thrown out of the sky by her, she stared at Yuanjing, grinding her tiny canine teeth in a demonstrative manner, as if she was forcibly suppressing her urge to bite.

"No, I just hope Sitiao students don't misunderstand," Yuan Jing cleared his throat and explained, seeing Sitiao Zhenfei's angry look, "I didn't mean to target you, it's just..."

"Just what?" The four true concubines parted their lips slightly, and a sharp canine tooth shone with a frightening coldness under the sunlight.

"It's just that I simply can't imagine that Sitiao's classmates can get married and have children smoothly." Yuan Jing finally said honestly.

There is no way, the four real concubines who have the attributes of "duplicity and pride", "a slow (?) step-defeating dog" and "persecution" are too impressive.

So much so that Yuanjing couldn't even think of an answer that could be said to be close at hand.

"Understood, you are here to find fault and fight!"

......

Although it seemed that she was very angry, but in the heart of the real concubine Shijo, there was no real unhappiness, but a little bit of joy inconceivably.

As someone who is extremely observant, Concubine Shijo didn't hear even the slightest bit of malice from Yuanjing's words.

This is actually more like a joke between bad friends.

As the eldest lady of the Sijo family, although the real concubine Sijo does not lack all kinds of "friends", after all, "Fu has distant relatives in the mountains".

But their attitudes towards her were a little too cautious, for fear of making themselves the slightest bit unhappy.

Concubine Shijo understands this quite well.

As a person who is truly capable of interfering in the decision-making of the Shijo family, if he makes himself unhappy, it may cause a devastating blow to his parents' business, which is an unacceptable and serious consequence.

That being the case, it is naturally the safest attitude to be cautious and tread on thin ice.

But she doesn't like it.

True friendship is not supposed to be like this.

Although she has been in a state of being surrounded by stars, Concubine Shijo has always felt that the distance between herself and these seemingly close 'friends' is actually quite far away.

In her heart, she has been longing for true and pure friendship.

And here at Yuanjing, although she is extremely aware that this young man has no intention of approaching her at all, it can even be said that he is actively pushing her away.

That's right, he has absolutely no need to please anyone.

For this point, Shijo Zhenfei is of course clear.

Well, if that's the case——

If we can become real friends with Yuan Jing, then this must be true friendship, right?

This is what the four real concubines are thinking at the moment.

It can only be said that apart from Shimizu Kaguya and Yukinoshita Yukino, the reason why Shijo Zhenfei is close to Yuanjing is also mixed with her own 'selfishness'.

......

The footsteps of the two are actually not slow. During the conversation, the building where Gyotaku was made can be said to be close at hand.

And at this moment, a young girl happened to come out of it, and met Yuan Jing and Shijo Zhenfei all at once.

Dazzling enough to describe the golden double ponytails, a pair of slender legs wrapped in black knee socks exposed under the dark blue dress...

Sawamura, Spencer, and Eriri, who happened to meet the two, were obviously taken aback, as if they hadn't expected to meet this pair here.

"Student Sitiao, Yuan-kun, why are you here?" she said in great surprise.

"I'm here to fish." Yuan Jing lifted his own bucket, "I caught a big fish, and I'm here to try to do fish tugging."

"I came out to relax, and I happened to see the moment when Yuan-san caught the fish." Shijo Makoto replied in this way, she looked at Sawamura Eriri curiously, and asked: "Sawamura-san is also here to fish ?"

"No, no, no, I don't know how to fish." Ying Lili hurriedly waved her hands and replied, "Zhenbai's British roommate is coming to my house soon, and she will stay here as an exchange student for two weeks."

"This is the first meeting, so I want to prepare some oriental gifts for her."

"It just so happens that she also likes to paint, so I was wondering if I could give her a gyotaku or something."

"Exchange student? Come now?" Although Yuan Jing didn't have any other reaction, but relying on Shijo Zhenfei's keen perception, she suddenly noticed that the lazy and leisurely aura on him suddenly subsided.

The extremely sharp breath disappeared in a flash.

It was like the half-inch cold light that was exposed when the famous knife was slightly unsheathed.

Chapter 36 Are pears real or fake? (reward on offer)

"Can you wait for me for a while, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Eri Sawamura ran out to buy water.

After briefly saying a few words to Concubine Shijo and Yuan Jing, asking them to wait for her for a while, she trotted to the coin vending machine beside her, took out her wallet from her pocket, and put a note Insert it into the coin slot.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yuan Jing gave Sijo Zhenfei a slight wink.

After the latter glanced at Sawamura Eriri's back, he took a few steps forward, shortening the distance between him and Yuan Jing.

In this way, even if they are talking softly, each other can hear each other very clearly.

"Is there anything you want to ask me?" Sijo Zhenfei said in a low voice, holding down the hem of her skirt blown by the breeze.

After Sawamura Eriri said the message of 'exchange student', Yuanjing gave her a completely different feeling.

If the previous Yuanjing was like a tiger lying lazily on a big bluestone, enjoying the shade with its eyes closed; then now, this 'big cat' has obviously opened its eyes, showing the The gaze of the mind.

Although it was still very far away from him, he had clearly smelled the 'enemy'.

"In St. Eden Academy, is there an exchange program for students?"

Because of the tight schedule, Yuan Jing went straight to the point.

"Yes." Hearing the solemnity in Yuanjing's words, Shijo Makoto replied very simply, "As the best middle school in Sakurajima, St. Eden Academy with the background of a missionary school is actually very similar to other middle schools in the world. Many well-known middle schools in China have maintained a cooperative relationship and launched exchange and learning projects with each other."

As a student who has been in St. Eden Academy for more than 3 years, Makoto Shijo is actually quite familiar with the various regulations of St. Eden Academy.

She even knows a few exchange students from all over the world, but they have all returned to their original countries now.

"As far as I know, doesn't the exchange student program usually last for one semester or one academic year?" Yuanjing asked again, "Why is there an exchange student program that only lasts for two weeks?"

Generally speaking, the reason why schools carry out student exchange programs is to train students.

When you come to a completely strange place, what you see in your ears are all extremely strange languages, and what you see in your eyes are all extremely strange scenery... There is nothing better than this to hone students' abilities, way to enrich his experience.

But it will undoubtedly take time for the students to complete such adaptation and tempering. .

This is one of the reasons why such projects span a year, or at least a semester.

"Ah, it turns out that this place is what you're interested in," Shitiao Zhenfei showed a somewhat enlightened expression. After thinking for a while, she murmured, "Indeed, it's just a two-week exchange student program, so there's no way I can afford it." What kind of exercise is it, it's just for fun."

Isn't this similar to the trip to Vienna a month later?

"Besides, why did you come near the end of the term?" Concubine Shijo had never doubted this ordinary exchange student program before.

All her mind was elsewhere.

After being reminded by Yuanjing, she realized that there was indeed something strange about this matter.

"Such projects are usually at the beginning of the new semester." Shijo Zhenfei is quite smart. After learning about the first doubt, the second doubt naturally surfaced in her mind.

Exchange students, exchange students.

Since this word contains the word 'sheng', it means that they are here to be students.

Textbooks vary in different parts of the world, and so do perspectives.

If you intervene in the middle, those who could not keep up with other students due to many factors such as language and environment will have even more difficulty walking because they will not be able to connect to the course at all.

However, although Shijo Zhenfei has discovered many doubts, but because she lacks a certain understanding of the affairs of Sawamura Eiri and Sawamura Sayuri, it is not clear what this abnormal behavior represents.

For now, she can only draw conclusions such as, "Is Shiina's roommate taking this opportunity to play with her?" ' Such conjectures.

Yuanjing also had no intention of telling Concubine Sijo about this matter.

Sayuri Sawamura definitely went to the Shijo house.

But judging from the situation of Shijo Zhenfei's contact with Sawamura Eriri the day before yesterday and her current reaction, she seems to be unaware of this.

It is obvious that the current Patriarch of the Sitiao family did not disclose this matter to her, obviously he does not want the kind-hearted Concubine Zhen to get involved in such matters.

It is a good thing to have sympathy, and Yuan Jing actually appreciates this excellent quality of Concubine Shijo.

However, if she can't control this emotion and let it overflow, she will definitely suffer a lot from it later.

The elders in her family obviously did not want her to encounter such a situation.

At this point, the four real concubines are actually quite well protected.

Yuan Jing didn't want to involve Four True Consorts.

The reason why he hinted to Concubine Shijo that this matter is not simple is actually to make her have a certain degree of vigilance about this matter and not to bump into it foolishly.

As far as the current situation is concerned, this incident has become a bit complicated, and Yuanjing doesn't want it to become a mess that is constantly being cut and arranged.

At this time, Sawamura Eriri had also run back from the vending machine.

"Awaited!"

Sawamura Eriri said so, distributed the drinks in her arms to Shijo Makoto and Genkei, and then walked towards the door of the building at the head of the pack.

The encounter with Yuanjing and Shijo Makoto this time was a complete coincidence, and there was naturally someone else with her—of course this person was Shiina Mashiro who was inseparable from her.

She is not at ease to let Shiina Mashiro stay alone for too long.

After Yuan Jing and Sijo Zhenfei exchanged glances, the former's original sharp edge suddenly subsided, and he regained his previous harmless and lazy appearance.

The group of people from England haven't come yet, no matter what these people want to do, it has nothing to do with him now.

That being the case, there is no need to be nervous at the moment.

It's better to enjoy such a leisurely time before everything starts.

In the next two weeks, there may be no such opportunities at all.
