The beautiful girl who rejects me will regret it

Chapter 173 Poor Mana, the Night Encounter with Nagi Fujiwara
After Xiyuanji Akino returned to the living room with the three children, he immediately asked them if they were hungry.

After seeing them nodding, he immediately asked the maid to help make some dishes and bring them over, and because of their thin body, Xiyuanji Akino also specially ordered to make some food that is more child-friendly—children’s taste buds are better than children’s. Adults are much more sensitive, especially to bitter and spicy food, while most children like sweet food.

While waiting for the food to be served, Akino Xiyuanji began to communicate with them slowly, learning about their life in the orphanage.

"The nurses let us grow flowers and vegetables every day, and then asked us to study...Everyone in the orphanage is very punctual, but life is actually not very interesting."

"But only I and Nan are different. Nan and I can find opportunities to sneak out to play every day. After all, the air there is too stuffy. If we don't go outside for a breath, we will really die!"

"Then... what about Mana?" Xiyuanji Akino looked at the little girl sitting beside him.

"I...I don't like to go out, I like to read books...but the air there is really dull..."

"That's why Mana hangs out with the two of us, let alone us, big brother, you are so handsome, do you have many girlfriends in high school?" Nan asked.

"Girlfriend!" Yongzheng's eyes were like a flashlight switched on, emitting a strong light, looking expectantly at Akino Xiyuanji.

"Don't mention many, there isn't one." Xiyuanji Akino patted the heads of the two little ghosts helplessly, "Do you children care so much about boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Isn't it because adults are always discussing such things? We don't know what is important and what is not, so we can only learn what adults say." Yongzheng shrugged and said.

"Master Akino..." The voice of the maid outside the door was very soft, obviously the food was ready.

Xiyuanji Akino immediately looked at the three children with a smile, "Let's eat something first, you must be hungry too."

After the maid outside the door brought the dishes in front of them bit by bit, they could find that the two little boys were swallowing their saliva, but Mana's eyes were a little dull.

"Mana?" Xiyuanji Akino called her name with concern.

Mana smiled quickly, and then imitated the appearance of a little boy, and began to eat slowly, chewing at a speed of 1 minute for each bite.

And every time I eat, I have to peek at Akino of Saiyuan Temple several times.

This is not because the little girl likes Xiyuanji Akino, but because she subconsciously looks at others.

Xiyuanji Akino had been observing Mana from the corner of his eye, and after 10 minutes, he finally understood.

Mana has anorexia.

And very serious.

So he immediately approached Mana, said with a smile: "Mana, if you don't want to eat, you don't have to force yourself."

Mana squeezed out a smile, "I'm sorry big brother, actually, it's actually delicious..."

"It's all right, no one will blame you... Shall we have some juice then?"

"Hmm..." Mana originally thought that she would be afraid of the sudden approach of Akino from Saiyuanji, but she didn't expect that she would accept it soon.

Moreover, when Xiyuanji Akino fed her juice and wiped her mouth, she would feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in her heart, but the more satisfied she was, the more afraid she would feel, wondering whether this was a temporary one from Xiyuanji Akino camouflage…

Just like the family who adopted her for the first time... they are kind on the surface, but in fact...

Xiyuanji Akino carefully observed Mana's facial expression the whole time. Although he couldn't see much, he still instinctively felt that something was wrong...

-

During the whole day, Xiyuanji Akino spent time relaxing with their three children, and didn't say a word about the rules of attendants.

The two little boys got used to it pretty well. Apart from being a bit mischievous and fond of playing, there was nothing wrong with them. The only problem was Mana.

And Nagi Fujiwara, because the three children did not complete the task according to her request, so they are practicing sitting in the corridor at this time.

That's right, sitting upright also requires practice. As a member of the Fujiwara family, you must do it. Sitting upright until your legs feel numb, but when you want to stand up, you must stand up.

Rules must be strictly followed.

Nagi Fujiwara looked at the painful appearance of the three of them struggling to persevere, but thought of his childhood experience.

When she was a child, she was brought into the Fujiwara family in a daze, and then received education immediately. During this period, she received countless corporal punishments.

To transform into a young lady, one must pay a very high price.

Fujiwara Nagi didn't feel anything about the bitterness they suffered.

-

In the middle of the night, Xiyuanji Akino let the three children live with him because he was worried that they would not be able to sleep well in a strange environment.

After everyone took a bath, Akino Xiyuanji helped them spread the quilt and told them a bedtime story. Then they turned off the lights at around ten o'clock in the evening and rested.

Xiyuanji Akino didn't fall asleep immediately, nor did he start dream learning.

Although he has always felt that it is a waste of time to go to bed at night and not study, but this time is different. If he wants to teach the three children well, he must concentrate all the time and think about more methods and countermeasures. , so that they can accept their own teachings.

And, in the afternoon, he asked Jingzi to help him investigate the situation of these children in the orphanage before they came.

He found that only Zhenna was adopted, but was sent back for unknown reasons.

unknown reason…

Just as he was thinking this way, he suddenly heard a slight sob?
Looking for the reputation, he saw that Jina who was sleeping next to him had sat up at this time, wiping his tears there and sobbing softly.

Xiyuanji Akino felt a tug in his heart, he also got up slowly, came to Mana's side and asked, "What's the matter, Mana?"

When Mana heard the soft voice, she subconsciously grabbed Xiyuanji Akino's clothes, hid in his arms, and said in a low voice, "Big Brother...I can't sleep..."

"If you can't sleep, let's go out and relax?"

"is it okay?"

"OK."

-

Taking Mana back to the group of hydrangeas we met in the morning, the moonlight was bright tonight, and the flowers exuded a faint fragrance. Mana, who was holding Xiyuanji Akino's hand, gradually relaxed.

"Big brother, am I a very troublesome child?" She looked at Xiyuanji Akino with some guilt with her pure eyes.

"It's not troublesome at all, I like Mana very much." Xiyuanji Akino squatted down and said with a smile.

"Big brother, can I hug you?"

"of course."

So Xiyuanji Akino gently hugged the little girl who was so thin that only bones remained on her body, trying to warm her with her own body temperature.

"Big brother, I'm a good boy, I'm very obedient."

"I know."

"Big brother, are you a prince?"

"Do you wish I was?"

"Well... I don't want to, I hope you are the big brother next door."

"Then I'm the big brother next door."

"Big brother, I'm so sleepy..."

"Then sleep, Mana."

"Ah."

In a few seemingly meaningless conversations, Mana fell asleep in Xiyuanji Akino's arms.

Xiyuanji Akino heard the little girl's steady breathing, and his heart became more at ease.

When he was about to hug Mana gently, he saw the back of Mana's loose clothes through the moonlight.

The next moment, his pupils shrank instantly, and an unstoppable anger and sadness welled up in his heart.

On Mana's back, several ugly scars can be clearly seen, very deep, very deep.

No wonder this little girl is anorexic and can't sleep at night...

No wonder they were sent back to the orphanage for "unexplained reasons"...

Xiyuanji Akino didn't know how to describe the dull and complicated mood at this moment. If he was the only one to bear the pain, he would be able to adjust it quickly, but if it was someone around him, or some innocent children, he would be very sad. It is difficult to recover in a short time.

It can be said that this is his only weakness, and it is also a weakness that he cannot change.

After taking Mana back to the room and covering her with the quilt.

Xiyuanji Akino felt that he had no mood to sleep at this time, so he left his courtyard, walked, and returned to the group of hydrangeas just now.

But this time, he met a person who made him feel a little embarrassed - Nagi Fujiwara.

Nagi Fujiwara with short hair is still beautiful and charming, but looks more aggressive than before, instead of the soft and beautiful appearance.

Nagi Fujiwara looked at him from afar, and after thinking for a moment, she began to walk slowly in front of Akino Xiyuanji.

Then he smiled: "Akino-kun... are you coming to enjoy the flowers too?"

"Hmm... I can't sleep, so I came here to have a look."

After what happened last time, it was difficult for Xiyuanji Akino to look at her normally as a friend.

Although... that kind of thing happened at that time, it seems that she did not do it voluntarily.

But...it does feel awkward.

"Last time... the incident last time, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble." Nagi Fujiwara restrained the resentment and jealousy in her eyes, pretended to be distressed, and forced a smile.

"Last time..." Xiyuanji Akino shook his head, "Please take care of yourself in the future, old Mr. Fujiwara is really a fool sometimes."

"Sorry, Akino-kun..." Nagi Fujiwara continued to apologize.

Although this was just her temporary idea, she already had a clear idea.

Disguising herself as a man just gave her an extra identity, and she could use her identity as a woman to continue to be friends with him, and then use his trust in exchange for information, or deceive him.

In this way, his winning rate in this competition will be much higher.

As for my relationship with "Fujiwara Tsutsumitsu"... let's say they are cousins.

Anyway, he didn't know that I was the adopted daughter of the Fujiwara family.

Nagi Fujiwara looked straight into the eyes of Akino Saizonji, and continued to act according to his inner plan.
