"Come on, let's go out and play!"

  The little girl touched the scarf with her hand and silently followed behind Xia You, a hint of warmth appeared in her heart.

  It is now at the end of November, in the cold winter season, the tall sycamore trees planted by the roadside are still hanging with some withered leaves.

  This year's snow fell earlier, like cotton wool. On the branches, the cold wind blew, and sometimes it fell together with the leaves of the sycamore.

  The Tono family's courtyard is very large, surrounded by several huge flower beds, and a cherry blossom forest is planted in the distance. When spring comes, the flowers of various colors are blooming, the bees and butterflies are flying, the fragrance of the flowers is very beautiful, and the scenery is very beautiful.

  However, in this mid-winter season, the courtyard seemed very lonely, the flower beds withered, and only the bare branches of the cherry blossom forest remained, all covered by pure white snow.

  On the grape trellis farther away, there are no green creepers and other vines.

  The two brothers and sisters were building a snowman in the withered courtyard, talking softly and slowly, slowly getting rid of the strangeness.

  After all, Xia You has an adult mindset, so naturally it is impossible to run wild like a real child. As for Qiuye, at this time, she is a little timid and cowardly, just quietly following her brother.

  It took more than half an hour to form two snowmen holding hands. The little girl stood in front of them and looked carefully, and then showed satisfaction.

  "Like us?" Xia You asked with a smile, standing beside her.

  "Hmm..." Qiuye thought for a while, then quietly tilted his head again, glanced at Xia You, shook his head honestly, and replied softly, "It's not like that."

  "Why not?"

  Looking at the two snowmen who could only barely distinguish the shape of a human, Xia You held back a smile and asked deliberately.

  · · Ask for flowers · ·

  Akiba immediately stopped talking.

  Although most of it was Xia You doing the work, she also got involved. If she had to admit that she didn't make a snowman well the first time, that would not work...

  "It's because we're not close together!"

  With a warm smile, Xia You grabbed Qiuye's hand, like two snowmen, next to the girl's shoulders, and then pointed to the front:

  "Look, isn't this very similar?"

  Half snuggling on Xia You's shoulders, the little girl looked at the snowman in front of her seriously, compared their abstract shapes with her own appearance, and quietly rolled her eyes in her heart, but did not refute.

  After playing for a while, several maids who had gone to the annex to clean up walked into the atrium, and the fat man from before actually appeared again.

  . . . . . . . .

  He pouted, thinking that he was hiding behind the withered flowerbed in the distance, unfolding his old-fashioned camera from the bare branches, regardless of the cold weather, huddled in the snow, taking pictures tirelessly.

  Akiba originally had a soft smile on his face, but after seeing the figure of the fat man out of the corner of his eyes, his expression froze slightly, and his little face showed a dull look.

  "what happened?"

  Xia You had been paying attention to Qiu Ye, and seeing her expression suddenly became depressed, she couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

  "Nothing..." Qiuye shook his head and said softly, "Brother, let's go back quickly, it's almost time for dinner."

  "Okay, let's go back." He replied with a smile, pulled the little girl and walked back slowly, but he was browsing the memory light ball in his mind.

  According to memory, the fat man was named Jiuwofeng Doubo, the eldest son of the branch family Jiuwofeng, with a mild personality and no bad manners.

  But there is a quirk, this guy always likes to hide in the corner with a camera and video recorder to steal pictures, which makes the maids in the Tono Mansion very helpless.

  Fortunately, he did not show signs of harassing the maid, so everyone just let it go. When he secretly filmed, he just pretended not to see it.

  On the way back, Xia You glanced at Qiuye beside him.

  Since seeing the fat man, the little girl has become silent, no longer smiling happily.

  He couldn't help rubbing his chin.

  How is this going?The five- or six-year-old eldest lady of the main family can't match up with the nearly [-]-year-old young people in the branch family, right?

Chapter 13 Marriage

  Because Tono Shinji was out, there were only Xia You and Akiba at dinner.

  In fact, according to Xia You's memory, before today, if Shinji Tono was not at home, Akiba would sue and tell the maid to bring the meal to the bedroom upstairs.

  The intersection of the two brothers and sisters is really like water, and they rarely meet each other even if they eat.

  However, the little girl followed Xia You to play outside today. The intimacy has improved, but it is not so bad.

  At the large dining table, the two sat together, talking while eating.

  Xia You remembered what Jiu Wo Feng Dou Bo had seen before, and asked a few bewildering questions.

  Helpless, although the little girl is young, she is not very easy to fool. If she doesn't want to answer, she can either find another topic to ignore, or bite her lip stubbornly and keep silent.

  It would inevitably lower her impression score in her sister's eyes to "eight or sixty". Xia You didn't ask too much, and changed the subject. The two talked about the birthday party next month.

  "Brother, my father said today that before your birthday next month, you can ask him for a present!"

  The little girl blinked her big blue eyes, her expression was gentle, and she reminded kindly.

  "Well, I've thought about it for a long time!" Xia You nodded with a smile, with determination in his eyes: "I'll ask him for some basic knowledge about magic."

  "Magic?" Akiba didn't seem to have heard of magicians and other characters in the inner world. She put down her fork and tilted her head in confusion: "Is it a magic trick?"

  With this cute tilting of her head, the little girl's long satin-like black hair slanted out from behind her shoulders and fell in front of her.

  Xia You raised her hand, and with Qiu Ye's shy expression, she gently brushed her hair behind her before frowning for a moment.

  "how to say......"

  For the layman, he really didn't know how to explain it, so he had to make an analogy:

  "Magic is a force similar to our bloodline."

  Akiba originally had an excited expression, but when Xia You mentioned the bloodline, she seemed to have touched something and suddenly became silent.

  "What's wrong?" Xia You was a little helpless. Although this younger sister was only five or six years old, it seemed that it was difficult to handle.

  The atmosphere at the dining table was silent for a moment, Qiuye lowered his head, continued to pick up the fork, and asked softly:

  "Do you want the knowledge of the Tono family's bloodline power?"

  "Yeah!" Xia You said naturally:

  "Since the family bloodline has the hidden danger of reversing the impulse, we should understand it well, so that we can find a way to restrain it!"

  "Oh." Akiba answered noncommittally, and stopped talking about this topic.

  After dinner, the two brothers and sisters chatted again for a while, and then went back to their rooms. Xia You closed the door and began to slowly refine the spiritual power derived from the soul according to the knowledge in the skill card.

  Difficult to extract a trace, he probed the nature of this energy.

  Spiritual power is more illusory than magic power, and it is not energy stored in the body, but occupies the mental space in the mind.

  It may be because of the limitations of the flesh and body, the refining process of spiritual power is a bit difficult, but there is no battle at present, and Xia You is not in a hurry.

  The peaceful daily life of the Tono family flows slowly in the cold time of winter.

  Because she first arrived in an unfamiliar place, Xia You acted obediently as a good child for a few days. After getting familiar with the environment of the mansion, she immediately became reckless, mixing up the courses that the heir must take. As for other interest courses, such as practicing Words, paintings, etc., basically push as you can.

  Then I ran to my sister to play with...

  If Akiba is not free, just stay in the room alone to refine spiritual power.

  In this empty mansion, you can't go out, and life seems monotonous and boring.

  After half a month, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters has improved a lot. At least Xia You went to Qiuye to knock on the door, instead of being blocked by the girl's body to talk at the door, she can now enter and leave the bedroom at will.

  Such behavior is really rare in the Tono family, which is full of estrangement. It is a sign of being very close to and trusting a person.

  It may be because the end of the year is approaching, and the work among the Tono chaebols is busy. More than ten days have passed, and Xia You has not seen Tono Shinjiu, and it is impossible to talk about wanting to learn the basics of magic.

  Occasionally, Akiba would take him to the piano room, play a tune on the violin, and then look for him to comment.

  Beginners playing the violin often have broken notes, and the music is jerky and stiff, sometimes like sawing wood.

  Even if you don't count noise pollution, it's totally unpleasant.

  However, Xia You could still listen to it without changing his face, and then commented with a smile that "there is progress".

  At this time, the big blue eyes of the little girl will blink and blink. The eyes that were originally like pure and clear springs suddenly turned into sly crescent moons.

  Obviously, she herself knew very well that the violin was playing very hard...

  The relationship between the two brothers and sisters has become better and better. Every day, laughing and laughing together brings a little warmth to this cold and lonely mansion in Tono.

  It was not until twenty days later, at the end of December, that Shinhisa Tono, who had not shown up for a long time, returned home.

  During lunch time, the family sat at the dining table and ate slowly. Xia You was thinking about how to ask for magic knowledge. As for Qiuye, she just sat quietly beside him, never again when the two of them ate. of ease.

  The little girl seemed to be very afraid of Tono Shinhisa.

  In fact, if it wasn't for Xia You's hard work over the past half a month, his petting and indulgent expressions were beyond words every day, I'm afraid Qiuye would be equally afraid of him.

  "By the way, Akiba, what I told you last time, I will announce it at the family gathering at the end of the year."

  During dessert time after lunch, when Xia You was thinking about how to speak, Tono Shinhisa looked at the little girl beside him and said something of unknown meaning.

  "Yes, father!" Qiuye replied calmly.

  "Announce?" Xia You came back to his senses, and asked casually while drinking the soup, "Announce what?"

  1.2 Although he was a little puzzled, at this time he didn't think there was anything important.

  But the next moment-

  "Akiba's marriage." Tono Shinhisa said.

  "puff......"

  Xia You threw down the bowl, and coughed while covering her throat in embarrassment. The little girl beside her quickly stood up and patted his back lightly.

  If he changed the time, he would definitely be a little proud in his heart - only half a month later, he was able to tune and teach his lukewarm sister so intimately.

  But now...

  "Marriage?" Xia You widened her eyes, looked at Shinji Tono in the main seat, raised her voice, and said incredulously, "Akiba is only six years old, right?"
