Chapter 423 Bird in a Cage
"Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages..."
Yuki Ichinose murmured to himself thoughtfully, looking at Brother Hikaru in front of him, he could understand the meaning.
Just like Brother Guang, his advantages are simply too numerous to count.
He is handsome, highly educated, gentle, considerate, humorous and approachable. These are his character advantages. In addition, he is also good at various talents.
Singing, swimming, surfing, photography, makeup, playing the piano, archery, cooking, skating, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and it shouldn't be all of Brother Guang... It is no exaggeration to say that she doesn't know anything that Brother Guang doesn't know how to do. of.
In contrast, his shortcomings are one and only one, and that is his playfulness.
"Brother Guang, what are my advantages?"
After carefully counting the advantages and disadvantages of Brother Hikaru in his mind, Ichinose Yuki suddenly became curious about what he looked like in his eyes.
"Well……"
Hearing this question, Kurosawa Hikaru looked at her and fell into deep thought.
"Can't you think of any?"
Seeing his serious thinking, Ichinose Yuki was immediately shocked.
"How could it be? It's just that you have too many advantages."
Kurosawa raised his eyes to meet hers, shook his head and said seriously.
"Really?"
"Really, for example, you are beautiful, which is also an advantage."
"Only looks?"
Yuki Ichinose was not very satisfied with this answer. She knew that her face was beautiful, but her appearance was not her only advantage.
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Kurosawa Hikaru was not surprised when he saw her reaction.
The reason why he was thinking just now was that he had a vague feeling that compliments on appearance would not satisfy her, let alone cheer her up.
"good."
Ichinose Yuki nodded, knowing that he was indeed too impatient.
"Let me think again."
Kurosawa Hikaru could understand her emotions, comforted her, and fell into thinking again.
Xiao Yuki is definitely willing to accompany him back to his hometown. Putting aside everything else, just seeing the place where he used to live will make him happy.
However, the reason why she was hesitant was because she was afraid that she would not do well enough.
Without comparison, there is no distinction between good and bad, strong and weak... She felt that others could do better, so she was timid.
"You are healing."
After Kurosawa Hikaru thought carefully, he finally found the answer and spoke.
"cure?"
Ichinose Yuki waited patiently for this answer, but was confused.
Because this answer was beyond her knowledge.
"You are very healing. When you are with me, you are always happy and have a smile on your face."
Kurosawa looked at her expression, nodded slightly, and confirmed.
He has a crush on Yuki-chan, maybe because she's beautiful, but he likes her for reasons other than just her looks.
Every time Xiao Yuki sees him, she will be extremely surprised and smile happily, as if she is meeting her favorite person. The feeling that her heart and eyes are full of you can make any man addicted to it and unable to extricate himself. .
"Is this considered an advantage?"
Ichinose Yuki felt ashamed and her face became hot.
She actually likes this evaluation. It's not that she doesn't agree with it, but she doesn't know if it's an advantage. No one has mentioned it before.
"Of course, because seeing you so happy makes me cheer up sometimes even if I am in a bad mood.
Kurosawa Hikaru looked sure, maybe Xiao Yuki is not the best in many aspects, but a person's charm never requires a person to be the best in a certain aspect, but lies in personality.
It is true that compared to Mirai and Chizuru, Xiao Yuki is indeed not good enough in terms of numerical values on paper.
However, when he gets along with Xiao Yuki, he is actually the most relaxed.
"Uh-huh."
Ichinose Yuki was very happy to see that he really thought so.
Most people spend their whole lives not knowing what kind of person they are, and she is the same.
In the past, she had never thought about how she was inferior to other girls. Her personality was not competitive.
But recently, due to the appearance of Ninomiya Chizuru and Shifengin Mirai, who are also Hikaru's girlfriends, she can't help but do something when she sees their shining figures when she is alone. Compared.
"Are you satisfied with my answer?"
Kurosawa Hikaru looked at her happy expression with a smile, and her beautiful blue eyes were full of energy, knowing that she had finally regained her energy.
Foolish people are blessed. Although Xiao Yuki is not smarter than others, but because of this, she is the easiest to feel satisfied.
"satisfy."
Ichinose Yuki nodded. She liked the comment that it was very healing.
"Since you are satisfied, there is no need to talk about other advantages."
Kurosawa Hikaru saw that she actually nodded, with a stupid look on his face, a smile appeared on his lips, and he continued to eat breakfast.
"Ah... I have to mention all the other advantages, too. All of them."
Ichinose Yuki was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, then she grabbed his arm and shook him and started acting coquettishly.
"Do you want to tell me everything?"
Kurosawa's body was swayed by her pull, like a roly-poly, with a troubled expression. He looked at her sideways, but his eyes were very doting.
…
"Ding!"
As the elevator reaches the corresponding floor, it makes a crisp sound and the door opens automatically.
Before Kurosawa Hikaru even took a step forward, there was already a maid waiting outside the elevator.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Kurosawa."
Sayaka Akai's hairstyle and attire are the same throughout the year. She has short hair and a capable temperament. She bows to him.
"good afternoon."
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded slightly and greeted her.
"Please come with me. The eldest lady has been waiting in the study for a long time."
After a simple greeting, Sayaka Akai led the way for him.
"Isn't she staying in the room this time?"
Following her footsteps, Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised and spoke in a low voice.
Under normal circumstances, he would usually wait in the study room first, and then come downstairs.
"The eldest lady seems to want to see you as soon as possible. She has a lot to say to you."
Akai Sayaka nodded slightly and responded softly without looking back.
"Did she hold back a lot of words during last night's performance?"
Hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru could roughly understand the situation.
"Please come in."
Sayaka Akai opened the door for him and let him in first.
Entering the room, Kurosawa Hikaru saw the beautiful figure in front of the desk.
Sifengyuan Mirai, who had waterfall-like black hair and snow-white skin, seemed to have heard the movement a long time ago and sat there looking at him.
As soon as their eyes met, Sifengyuan Mirai patted the chair next to him and motioned for him to sit over quickly.
Seeing this, Kurosawa complied with her request and walked over quickly.
"Aguang, how could you come up with such a good song?"
Before he sat down, Sifengyuan Mirai asked impatiently as he just walked to the side.
"Which song are you referring to? Canon?"
Kurosawa Hikaru asked as he sat upright.
"Of course it's "Autumn Whispers"."
Si Fengyuan gave him a blank look in the future.
Although she likes Canon very much, it is still not as good as "Autumn Whispers"
Everyone likes different things. For her, the piano music given to her by Kurosawa Hikaru was simply the best gift in the world.
Whether it's autumn or whispers, these two elements completely hit the spot in her heart.
In addition, the melody and main theme of this piano music are also in line with her preferences.
"I just thought about your appearance and came up with it bit by bit. Do you like it?"
Kurosawa smiled when he saw her eyes shining and she looked like she liked her very much.
"What do you think?"
Sifengyuan found that he was a little proud in the future and seemed to praise me a lot, so he rolled his eyes at him in a funny way.
This bad guy knows that she likes her very much, but he still asks.
"Then I'll find time next time and play it to you alone."
Realizing that she was a little embarrassed, Kurosawa Hikaru stopped teasing her.
"How was it last night?"
Remember this agreement, Sifengyuan said curiously in the future.
In fact, she actually went backstage last night and met with Zero Hour, and she did it in the presence of bystanders. This was to create evidence.
Maybe she expressed her love and surprise for the performance last night, but that was for outsiders to see.
That's why she was so anxious today because she couldn't convey her true thoughts clearly.
"It went very well, but my uncle was not very satisfied with me."
Seeing that she wanted to intervene, Kurosawa didn't hide it from her.
"Are you dissatisfied with this? Have you talked about your background?"
The future of Sifengyuan is really incomprehensible.
From her point of view, Kurosawa Hikaru was already impeccable as a husband.
"They asked, and I told them...but they don't seem to have heard of Brother Shinichi's name."
"Just tell me. They will definitely ask before the next meeting. When they ask clearly, they will be satisfied."
After learning about this situation, Sifengyuan was immediately relieved in the future.
According to her investigation and understanding, the Ninomiya couple are very snobbish and ambitious, and are extremely persistent in climbing up.
In this case, even if Kurosawa Hikaru has any shortcomings, they will be outweighed by the invincible backstage.
"Let's not talk about this. Let's go to the beach this Sunday. What should we do?"
Kurosawa Hikaru felt that it was not good to discuss adult matters with his girlfriend, so after thinking about it, he came up with a good idea and guided her.
"This Sunday?"
When Sifengyuan heard these words in the future, he was not in a good mood, and his reaction was a little subtle.
"Yes, the performance is over. I don't have any fixed work arrangements for the time being. This time I can go out and play without any distractions."
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded slightly and affirmed with some expectation.
Unlike a piano recital, it must be made public and progress must be on time.
Although he still has a lot of work to do next, such as fulfilling obligations and shooting commercials, the shooting date is negotiable.
After all, his current status is very high. Even if he makes his partners wait for an extra week, it shouldn't matter. He can just say something nice and get over it.
In front of him, there are currently three things that must be resolved with priority.
Go to the beach with Mirai, go on vacation with Chizuru, and take little Yuki back to her hometown.
The sooner the better for these three things, whether it is to avoid date conflicts or to relax, he plans to go on a date with Future at the beach first.
Because after the relationship between him and the future was exposed, they have not gone out on a date together so far.
"..."
Seeing the expectant look on his face, Sifengyuan opened his mouth in the future, but hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Kurosawa Hikaru felt something was wrong with her expression and expressed concern.
"Aguang, why don't you wait until I go to college to go to the beach?"
After Sifengyuan hesitated in the future, he made up his mind to make it clear to him.
"Why? Don't you really want to go?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was stunned when he heard this and didn't understand why she changed her mind.
"I really want to go, but it's not worth the risk of making my parents angry by going to the beach. If I go again next year, the risk won't be that big."
Seeing his happiness come to an abrupt end, Sifengyuan Mirai felt sad, but in order to be honest with him, she expressed her concerns.
"..."
Hearing these words, Kurosawa Hikaru fell into deep thought.
Most people, when faced with changes, will always have concerns and dare not take that step easily.
Only a few people will move forward resolutely when faced with changes.
"Aguang, I really want to go, but I don't dare to take the risk. I don't want to lose you."
Seeing that he remained silent, Si Fengyuan Mirai held his hand under the table, her lips trembled, and she smiled bitterly.
Because of last night's performance, her love for Kurosawa Hikaru deepened.
She was proud of Kurosawa's excellence.
She was pleasantly surprised by Kurosawa's masterpiece.
"Are you worried that our elopement will cause unnecessary risks and make your mother angry?"
Feeling her movements and her nervousness, Kurosawa Hikaru could probably guess what she was thinking.
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. This is the character of a wise man. Going ahead even though he is aware of the danger is what a foolish person would do.
Among the laws of economics, there is a law called loss aversion - that is, human nature is more afraid of losing than gaining.
"Although our relationship is approved by grandpa, there is no need to conflict with my mother."
Si Fengyuan nodded in the future and said with a wry smile.
She wanted to go to the beach with A Guang. She wanted to show him how she looked in a swimsuit, and she wanted to go to different places with him.
As long as she goes with A Guang, even if she eats smoothies together or walks on the beach together, she feels that she will be extremely happy and satisfied.
It was precisely because she knew that this would be wonderful and that after she graduated from college, she and Kurosawa would do countless such things, so after she realized the risk, she suddenly felt timid.
"I have the business card of the head of the family."
Seeing her locking herself into the cage again, Kurosawa said immediately.
When a person is afraid, it is very difficult to calm his fear and take a brave step.
This is like asking a person who is afraid of water to swim. Although he thinks it is easy, for someone who is afraid, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"Just to go to the beach, there's no need to use the family head's business card... Aguang, can we wait until later?"
Hearing this trump card, Si Fengyuan Mirai shook his head, gently rubbed the back of his hand with his fingers, and prayed in a low voice.
She wanted to go to the beach with A Guang. She didn't want to make A Guang unhappy, but she really couldn't help it.
She is not an ordinary girl, let alone staying up all night. She has to report to her mother wherever she goes since she was a child.
Even when she went to the performance last night, she discussed it with her mother in advance, because her mother thought that listening to the concert could relax her mood and cultivate her sentiments, and she only agreed after she recognized her partial piano skills.
She didn't dare to take risks, she wanted to wait... She wanted to wait until the day she graduated from college and married Kurosawa.
"..."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Kurosawa Hikaru was speechless, very intolerable, and even more heartbroken.
He thought that after meeting his parents, there would be no barrier between him and the future, and he would not be afraid of elopement.
But now it seems that he has cleared the obvious obstacles, but the biggest problem has never been solved, that is, the fear of her mother in the future.
He generally understands this fear.
Because children are really powerless when facing their parents.
It's like Chizuru demonized her parents, harboring resistance and fear, as if they were the most difficult people to deal with in the world, but after he actually came into contact with them, they just felt like that.
This result is the result of getting along day and night, and the past bit by bit.
"I use the family head's business card to propose marriage to Mr. Zhenlong. Can I marry you directly?"
Kurosawa Hikaru pondered for a long time and came up with the only solution.
As for the future, the only thing that can really help her get rid of the shackles of "Caged Bird" is to marry him and leave the Sifengyuan family.
