Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 8
Xia Mei finished tidying up the room, and when she returned to the lady's room, she saw that the two had a happy conversation, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves, and she was instantly relieved.

Listening to Yoko talking to himself with the same old voice as half an hour ago, Shi Ye had a new understanding of this grandma at this time, and sighed inwardly, Grandma Yoko really hides her secrets. Not only will it change its appearance, but it will also change its voice. When I was young, I am afraid that I also did the phantom thief.

Xia Mei bypassed the coffee table and sat down next to Yoko again, glanced at Shi Ye with a look of color on his face, took Yoko's hand and asked, "Grandma, you are so happy, then Shi Jun should be in your eyes."

"You girl, I'm making you anxious. Don't worry, grandma has seen a sea of ​​people. Whether it's good or bad, nothing can escape my eyes." Yang Zi patted Xia Mei's hand and pointed at it with his chin. Shi Ye on the other side smiled at Xia Mei, "Grandma has seen it for you. Boy Shi is very good, and he is worth entrusting."

While Yoko was talking, on the other side, the left and right hands gently raised Natsumi and Ishino's wrists close to her, folded the two palms on her knees, and covered her hands on top, gently pressing Suppressed, and said earnestly.

"You two are good children. Seeing that you can come together, grandma has no worries or regrets." Before Xia Mei was about to speak in panic, Yang Zi met the other party's gaze and stopped it with her eyes. What she wants to say is, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, my own body, I know it, and it will only take a month or two at most. I don't need to say anything more. The road ahead, you have to go on by yourself .”

Hearing this, Xia Mei's eyes couldn't stop tearing up, her jaw trembled slightly, and she wanted to speak, but in the end, under Yoko's calm and gentle eyes, she pressed her lips together and nodded with sadness.

Yoko stroked the back of Natsumi's hand in relief, then turned her head to look at Ishino, her eyes suddenly sharpened.

Ishino knew Yoko's situation, so although he didn't know why the other party said these confessions, but thinking of some plans that Yoko had explained to him before, he probably had a guess in his heart.Seeing that the other party was so serious, he immediately sat upright, as if listening to the teaching.

"Boy Shi, grandma entrusted you with her precious granddaughter, you must not let her down."

"Yes, I will definitely take good care of Xia Mei and not let her suffer any grievances, please rest assured, grandma!"

"I want to hear you say this? My granddaughter is the kind of person who wants you to take care of her and can't bear to be wronged?" Yoko poked Ishino's forehead with his finger, and said in a bad mood, "You are going to live your whole life, and no one can do it alone. In terms of accommodating and giving. In true love, both parties are equal. No matter what happens, as long as you have the same heart and face it together, there will be no barriers you cannot overcome."

"Don't look at you now. It's still a long time before we can truly know each other."

"But don't worry, you still have a long time to go. As long as you always trust each other, open up your heart for each other, and listen to each other's voice in the future, you will be able to connect with each other and raise your eyebrows. Do you understand?"

Seeing Yoko staring at him the whole time and saying these words, Ishino thought for a while, and then understood what the other party wanted to convey.

At this stage, in order to ensure that Natsumi can live a stable life, although there are many secret plans that need to be implemented, sooner or later Natsumi needs to know the family secrets.Although Xia Mei is gentle and kind, she is not spoiled. She is a mature woman who has her own opinions, responsibility and ability.It's just that there are some things that are not suitable to tell her right away.

So Yoko reminded herself, don't think about hiding from Natsumi forever, at the right time, slowly show her true self to Natsumi little by little, until the two sides fully understand and understand each other, that is the best way.

After thinking about this, Ishino looked at Yoko firmly, nodded solemnly and said, "I understand, grandma."

"It's good if you understand, what should you do? Grandma told you so much today, and she is tired, so she won't accompany you." Yangzi nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Xia Mei, "This Boy Shi will stay here for a few days, grandma wants to chat with you more."

After speaking, Yoko patted the hands of the two, indicating that the other party could go out.The two looked at each other, then got up and left.

Before leaving, Yangzi did not forget to remind: "Xia Mei, please help him choose a guest room and tidy it up. He is not married yet, so it is not suitable for him to sleep in a room."

"Grandma~~ I got it!" Xia Meijiao said angrily, took Shi Ye's hand, and ran out of the room blushing, secretly observing Shi Ye's face along the way.

"Grandma is still considerate, I think it's good." Shi Ye looked calm, but he cried out in his heart that it was a pity.But just before Xia Mei came back, Yoko asked him to go to the tower late at night to meet with the teacher he found for him, so he also understood Yoko's reminder to sleep in separate rooms, so he accepted this arrangement.

Seeing Ishino's reaction, Xia Mei was a little shy and a little pity, but she quickly settled her mood, led Ishino to a guest room on the third floor, and pushed the door open.

"When I packed your luggage in my room, I asked the servant to move to this room. Below this room is my bedroom."

As a well-educated girl, Natsumi naturally wouldn't do such a thing as having to share a room with her boyfriend as soon as she brought her home.The reason why I was shy just now is actually that I still have a bit of a little girl mentality in my heart, and there is so much expectation.

After the two entered the house, they packed up Ishino's luggage together, and seeing that it was almost time, they went to the garden to have lunch together.During lunch, Natsumi asked about Ishino's plans after returning to Japan.

"Shi Jun, I plan to stay at home for a long time and spend more time with grandma in the last time. Do you have any plans recently?"

"Then I'll stay here too, and accompany grandma with you. You won't think I'm hanging on here." Shi Yexin thought that his job was actually just a name, and it would be a problem if he didn't go for ten days and a half months. Not much, decisively stated that he could take a vacation for a while.

"How could it be? Grandma must be very happy that you can live here." Xia Mei was very happy that Ishino could accompany her, but when she thought about grandma, her expression became lonely again.

"Actually, I know that grandma has been in poor health since the Chinese New Year. I have been reassuring myself that grandma will get better, but this can't change the reality."

"What grandma told us today, I know that grandma really hopes that we can live happily, so I figured it out. In order to live up to grandma's expectations, I have to cheer up."

Xia Mei looked at Ishino with firm eyes and said: "During this time, grandma will transfer some of the Kasaka family's property to me. In order not to let grandma's hard work go to waste, I will try my best to do my best."

"Although these industries are managed by people, I don't need to do everything myself, but I definitely can't stay in France anymore. So after a while, I will go back to Paris for the last time and move the things there back home."

Saying that, Xia Mei held Ishino's hand, looked into his eyes and said, "So, while I'm away, please help me spend more time with grandma, can you?"

Ishino watched Natsumi's eager eyes, and in turn wrapped his hands around the other's hands.

"Well, leave it to me."
