"Ah."

Miyajima Kiichiro nodded with a smile and asked Sasaki, who had already realized what he meant:

"How does Fuyumi feel about Sakura?"

Although he had guessed about this kind of development before, when he really faced it, Sasaki still felt a sense of unreality.

After all, arranged marriage... I have never experienced it.

But he just felt a little weird in his heart, it was not disgust or rejection.

No matter what, the other party is a beautiful girl with a good figure and good looks, and Sasaki's temper is not so weird as to look for rice in a chicken leg.

As for the fact that there was no affection between the two parties when they first met, Sasaki would never say that.

There is no emotion that can be cultivated.

This is how the four words "love grows over time" are used.

He turned his head to look at the blue-haired girl who was two steps away from him.

Sasaki smiled softly at her shy gaze, then turned to Miyajima Kiichiro and said a little embarrassedly:

"Ichiro... Grandpa, although I haven't been with Miyajima-senpai for a long time, I can see that Miyajima-senpai is a very good person, well-mannered and elegant..."

As he spoke, Sasaki turned his head, looked at the two blushes on her fair face, and continued with a smile:

"Well... although it may sound frivolous, I really think Miyajima-senpai is very beautiful... If possible, I really hope that Miyajima-senpai can become my wife."

After saying this, Sasaki slowly put away the gentle smile on his face, and said in a very disappointed and regretful tone:

"But I already have a lover. Although she is not as charming and pretty as Miyajima-senpai, she is very kind to me and takes good care of me. I like her very much, too. So... I'm sorry, Grandpa Ichiro."

Sasaki said a lot of proud words praising Miyajima Sakura.

Everything I said and did said that she was very beautiful and I liked her very much, but I had a girlfriend, so it was a pity.

But if you listen carefully, you will hear that when Sasaki spoke to Miyajima Sakura, he really hoped that she could become his wife.

And when he said this, he was before he had a girlfriend.

This gives people a feeling that it’s not that you, Miyajima Sakura, are not good, but that we met too late, so we can only be left with regrets.

If Miyajima Sakura was interested in him, even if today's event failed, there was still a possibility that the two of them could continue to be together, which would give Sasaki the opportunity to manipulate.

As for whether Miyajima Sakura is interested in him?

Sasaki felt that there must be one.

After all, her previous actions did not show any sign of rejecting him.

And from her actions, it can be seen that she had known for a long time that the two of them would be matched up.

Otherwise there is no reason to be so enthusiastic about myself.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that she is a fangirl, but compared to this narcissistic idea.

Sasaki felt that it was more likely that she knew in advance that the two would be matched up.

Even though she knew all this long ago, she didn't resist the nonsense, which shows that she is a very traditional woman from a military family and her parents' orders are more important than anything else.

But no matter how traditional she is, she is still a person. As a person, she has her own thoughts and ideas and will think for herself.

If she has a crush on me, Miyajima Sakura will most likely not back down just because "the two of us met at the wrong time and can't be together."

Because once she retreats, she will have to face someone she has never met before.

That person could be very good or very bad.

If this is the choice, few people would give up the obvious good option and then gamble their lifelong happiness on the unknown.

So after Sasaki said this, he had already eaten Miyajima Sakura to death.

But it was slightly different from what Sasaki expected.

After Sasaki said this, Kiichiro Miyajima did not show any regret or disappointment. He still looked amiable and nodded with a smile.

He didn't say anything after that, but just lowered his eyes in silence.

As he had no idea what he meant, Sasaki didn't dare to say anything. He just looked at the other people around him vaguely.

Sitting next to Miyajima Kiichiro, Tsubaki Miyajima, who was sitting upright, was obviously disappointed, but in this disappointment, Sasaki also saw a hint of relief that was not too obvious.

These two completely opposite expressions made Sasaki unable to understand what she meant.

If she hoped that he would be with Miyajima Sakura, then why did she feel relieved after hearing about Sasaki's situation?

Unable to figure it out in a flash, Sasaki glanced sideways at Miyajima Sosuke who was sitting opposite Miyajima Kiichiro.

Because he had briefly learned about it from Murasaki, Sasaki knew that he was married into the Miyajima family.

At this moment, this middle-aged man with a square face and a difficult look was looking at him with an unhappy expression.

accurate……

Very understandable.

After all, the tender cabbages at home are about to be eaten by the pig, so it is normal for the old father to feel unhappy because he is reluctant to let them go.

So Sasaki didn't take him too seriously.

As for Miyajima Sakura, who was sitting not far from Sasaki, her expression was just as Sasaki expected. After showing disappointment and sadness for a moment, she turned determined.

There was silence for less than two minutes.

Miyajima Kiichiro seemed to give his granddaughter time to react and asked:

"What does Sakura think of Fuyumi?"

Because she had already decided that she would become Sasaki's wife no matter what, and as a traditional samurai woman, Miyajima Sakura was much more accepting of her husband having three wives and four concubines than modern women, so after hearing Sasaki's words, she was only a little disappointed for a while, and then adjusted her mentality.

"Sakura listens to Grandfather."

I know that my grandfather didn't want to hear me praise Sasaki, but wanted to know my attitude.

So after Miyajima Sakura responded softly, her face blushed, she lowered her eyes and said no more.

"Hmm~"

Nodding, Miyajima Kiichiro looked at Sasaki, who was gradually showing surprise, with a smile on his face, and said to him:

"You two should get along well from now on~"

?

Finding that the situation was somewhat different from what he expected, Sasaki straightened his back and slowly opened his eyes.

According to his thinking, after hearing what he said, the old man should just let the matter go as if nothing had happened.

After all, compared to Sasaki's current situation, the Miyajima family can be considered a wealthy and powerful family. In his opinion, it is simply impossible to let his precious daughter become someone else's mistress.

The two families have been good friends for a long time, but compared with the Sasaki family which has already declined, the Miyajima family is now in its heyday and thriving.

Even though the relationship between the two families was once so strong that they could ignore all this.

Then you should also strive for the position of the head wife.

But judging from what Kiichiro Miyajima said, he didn't seem to care about it.

I can’t guess why the old man made such a choice.

But Sasaki felt that it must be related to the reason why the two families broke off relations.

When the old man told Sasaki how close the two families were, he did not explain why they suddenly lost contact.

But now it seems that he doesn't mind the decline of the Sasaki family, nor does he mind his precious granddaughter being a little girl.

Sasaki couldn't help but guess that the reason why the two families broke off relations was because of the Miyajima family.

In addition to the situation of Miyajima Munesuke marrying into the Sasaki family, could it be that Miyajima Kiichiro, who had no grandchildren at the time, wanted the Sasaki family to marry into the Sasaki family, but his own family was unwilling, so the relationship broke down?

Sasaki's subconscious brainstorming did not affect the astonishment of the other two people present.

Without waiting for Sasaki to promise to be nice to Miyajima Sakura, Miyajima Sosuke, who realized that his little girl was going to be someone else's servant, slammed the table and stood up.

"No, absolutely not. You can't treat Sakura like this. I don't agree!"

Miyajima Sosuke's square face, which was always serious and solemn when he was not smiling, was now filled with unbelievable anger.

Faced with the decision made by his grandfather, Miyajima Sosuke, who usually didn't dare to refute him, objected loudly for the first time.

"Father-in-law, is he from a famous family? Is it necessary to be so condescending..."

"Shut up! You have no right to speak here."

Miyajima Kiichiro, who had always disliked Miyajima Sosuke, waved his hand to interrupt him, and continued to scold him harshly without caring about Sasaki's presence:

"You have time to refute my words, but you don't have time to get your wife and give me a grandson."

"You had the guts to get Xiaochun pregnant, but now you don't have the guts to get another one. What do I need you for? If it weren't for you..."

"Alright, alright, father, Dong Jian is still here, don't mention the past anymore."

She quickly pushed her husband out of the door, his face flushed but he lowered his head and dared not say a word.

Fearing that her father would bring up old matters again and let Sasaki know the whole story and thus develop a prejudice against Sakura, Miyajima Tsubaki quickly patted the old man's back and finished what he had not yet said.

After knowing Sasaki's identity, she felt guilty towards Sakura for bringing the two of them together.

I think Sakura is getting along with Sasaki to make up for the mistakes she made in the past.

Under such circumstances, she naturally didn't want Sasaki to know what had happened.

She was afraid that he would have a different opinion of Sakura and thus reject her.

This was also the reason why she deliberately blurred the fact that the two families had severed their relationship when she asked her father to explain the relationship between the two families to Sasaki.

Chapter 90: Do you call that love? You are...

After calming down the old man's anger, Miyajima Tsubaki, wearing a black and white kendo uniform and with a gentle face, knelt beside him and said to Sasaki with a wry smile:

"I'm sorry for making Dong Jian laugh."

I know it's best to pretend I know nothing now.

So Sasaki just smiled and said nothing.

Fearing that her father would say something inappropriate, Miyajima Tsubaki said to Miyajima Sakura, who was sitting beside her and still immersed in shame:

"Sakura, take Fuyumi somewhere else first. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

"Okay, Mom."

The body that was sitting upright suddenly tensed up, and after coming back to her senses from her shyness, Miyajima Sakura responded respectfully, then smiled at Sasaki who was looking at her and said:

"Sasaki...kun, come with me."

Seeing her blushing face but pretending to be calm, Sasaki smiled and nodded.

Afterwards, after saying hello to Miyajima Kiichiro who still had a gloomy face and Miyajima Tsubaki who was whispering something, Sasaki stood up and followed them.

The breeze near noon is a little hot and dry, blowing through the lush green bamboo leaves, making a rustling sound that can cleanse the soul.

Walking in the corridor leading to the atrium, letting the breeze with the scent of bamboo and wood brush through the tips of their hair, stirring up the atmosphere that had become even more charming because of their silence.

Waiting for the romance brewing between the two, Sasaki, who was becoming more and more sweet and mature, felt the slight itch on her ankle from time to time, and subconsciously glanced down.

The black skirt and pants swayed gently in the wind, like the ripples on the pond water in the courtyard caused by the breeze, revealing the outline of her round long legs, and at the same time, like a cat wagging its tail, constantly teasing Sasaki's ankles and heartstrings.

Feeling the tingling and numbness in his heart, and thinking that the time had come, Sasaki lowered his head and slightly tilted his neck, thus attracting the attention of Miyajima Sakura beside him.

Looking at the hem of her skirt fluttering in the wind and constantly brushing against Sasaki's ankles and calves, Miyajima Sakura subconsciously stretched out her snow-white little hand, wanting to pull back the naughty corner of her skirt.

But before she could reach out to grab her pants skirt, as if by coincidence, Sasaki also reached out his hand at the same moment.

The palms of people who practice martial arts are often not delicate.

Not to mention Miyajima Sakura, who has been holding a sword since childhood.

Rubbing the palm of my hand, I saw the little hand that had some calluses but was still soft.

In order to express his disdain, Sasaki gently squeezed the hand that was trying to slip away from his palm.

It was like a cat that had eaten cat food and instantly calmed down.
