Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

He felt that he had completely lost the ability to speak and think for a while.

No matter how difficult the battle, the toughest opponent, or the most serious injury in the past, a light blow from the opponent is enough to destroy the rationality and calmness that he is proud of.

He felt as if he had a lot to say.But it seems that nothing can be said.It seems that no words can truly express his current mood, no words can accurately convey the rhythm and sound of his heart beating now——

Finally, he wriggled his lips and stammered out such a sentence in the chaos of his mind:

"Why, how could it be possible not to... like..."

He didn't speak a complete sentence, and the ending sound disappeared into the hustle and bustle.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

"How dare you step on me?!"

"How dare you do it? I want to show you some strength—!"

It seems that in the distance near the stage, two idlers who were watching the theater quarreled over a trivial matter, and then started to fight.Suddenly, chaos erupted in that place.

Fujita Goro immediately stopped talking, and stared at the place where the incident happened, as if he was going to mediate the dispute immediately.

Liu Quan let out a small sigh beside him.

"So...what the hell is it?" She murmured to herself slightly annoyed, then let go of Fujita Goro's waist, and took his hand instead.

"You're on off-duty now, so you're not wearing a uniform right now....Just go to mediate the dispute rashly. If the other party refuses to obey, it will be bad if you get involved in the dispute..."

Fujita Goro seemed to be still paying attention to that direction, and didn't answer her for a while.

Liu Quan exerted a little strength in his hand, and pulled him out.

"There should be patrols on the streets outside... Go find them to deal with this matter."

Fortunately, someone outside shouted at this time: "Stop beating! Stop beating! The inspectors are already here!"

So the performance of this new play ended in such a hasty way.Of course, even without the fact that the townspeople's dispute interrupted the end of the new play, the content of the play felt a little dull for a while.

However, Liu Quan still tried his best to appear very happy—speaking of which, she stayed in the oppressive environment of Jiutiao's house every day, and she had to be wary of Fu Sangshen from "Five Swords of the World" who was elusive from time to time. Nerves have already been stretched to the limit.

So tonight being able to go out with Xiao Yi, a man who is a healer through and through, no matter how bad the situation is, it can't erase her good mood.

And... the teased Xiaoyi is delicious, she won't tell!

The two left Asakusa, took a ride for a while, and then walked down not far from Kujo Residence.

Because I left the theater early, it's still early.Liu Quan had a headache when he thought that he would have to face the mountain of mess after returning to Jiujo mansion, so when Xiaoyi asked her if he wanted to walk for a while, he immediately agreed happily.

But not far away, a person jumped out of a carriage on the side of the road and stopped the two of them.

Liu Quan:?

The man seemed to be a groom, and after blocking her way respectfully, he reported himself as a servant of the Kirino family, and asked "Miss Kujo to sit in the carriage for a while, my lady has something to say."

... Kirino Ikuko?

Liu Quan couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Yi beside him, seeing that he was also looking at her with a question mark on his face, so he habitually smiled at him to comfort him, and said in a low voice, "Probably for It's my brother's business, I'll come as soon as I go," and then handed him the lantern with "Asakusa Kaminarimon" written on it, and followed the groom to the carriage.

The door of the carriage opened, and Liu Quan leaned over and got in, and sure enough, he saw that Miss Tongye, who always looked indifferent, was sitting in the carriage.

She was wearing a kimono for going out, and even in the dim sky, the gold thread on the surface of the fabric shone faintly.

Even when she was sitting in the carriage, her back was straight, and she looked as cold, pale, lonely, and lifeless as a statue.

Liu Quan couldn't help but sighed slightly from the bottom of his heart, sat down on the seat opposite her, and after also sitting upright, he nodded to her as a salute.

"Good night, Miss Tongye."

Kirino Ikuko's black eyes, which were as cold and unwavering as a deep well, stayed on her face, and she paused for a few seconds before speaking: "...Miss Kujo."

Contrary to her cold attitude, Liu Quan always had a faint smile on his face.

"Miss Tongye is waiting here, what can I teach you?"

Kirino Ikuko didn't answer right away, but turned her neck slowly, cast her eyes on the street outside the window, and stood tall and straight in place, waiting for the young man of "Miss Kujo".

Then she said, "Is that him?"

The smile on Liu Quan's face remained motionless. "……What?"

"I want to know if the marriage partner Miss Kutiao chose for herself is that person." Kirino Ikuko turned her head back and looked directly at Liu Quan, her voice was as cold as a brook rushing by in the mountains in late autumn.

Liu Quan was slightly surprised, thought for a while, and replied with a smile: "Is this matter important to Ms. Tongye?"

Perhaps because she felt a little anxious because the other party changed the subject lightly, Kirino Ikuko's brows and eyes were slightly gloomy.

"I'm going to visit Mr. Daozhi at his house tonight." She said, "Given the identities of the two of us, this is also due..."

She paused slightly.

"However, I noticed that Mr. Daozhi was restless all night. Because Miss Kujo, you and the so-called Mr. 'Suitor' went out."

Although she has the rigid appearance of an old Chinese lady who is dignified to the point of indifference, Kirino Ikuko's character unexpectedly has a side that is very practical, not really rigid about etiquette, and outspoken.

"It makes me a little worried about what the future holds."

Kirino Ikuko said bluntly, her gaze fixed coldly on the face of Kujo Noriko in front of her.

"A brother dotes on a sister, and I have nothing to say about that.  … However, when things go beyond the limit, it's troubling."

"But I can't get rid of this marriage contract because of this. In the final analysis, everyone knows why Mr. Daozhi and I got engaged. As long as Master Xixiang and my father think that this marriage contract must continue, then Even if Mr. Daozhi really harbors any bad delusions about you, I won't let him go."

Kirino Ikuko said coldly.

"Miss Jiutiao is also a smart person, why don't you make a plan for yourself before everyone makes you look ugly?"

Her eyes drifted to the young man outside the window again.In the twilight, his handsome facial features seemed to be covered with a layer of ambiguous mist.Standing on the side of the street, he was holding a string of paper bags with snacks and a lantern with "Asakusa Kaminarimon" in his hands. There, waiting patiently for the young woman sitting before her to return to him.

"If Ms. Kutiao is worried that your sweetheart's status is not valuable enough to make Mr. Kutiao agree to your marriage contract, I can help." She threw out a tempting condition.

However, Liu Quan in front of her... oh no, Kutiao Noriko—first showed a slightly surprised expression, but finally burst out laughing when he heard this, and shook his head slightly.

"...I didn't expect Ms. Kirino to be such a frank person." She said, the smile became deeper after noticing that Kirino Ikuko's face changed slightly.

"The matter of Mr. Daozhi...isn't enough to worry you. Because Mr. Daozhi is a soft and gentle person, as long as you stick to your own opinion, he will obey you." She said slowly, subtly expressing the nine principles of Daozhi "Weak and incompetent" is wrapped up in a more euphemistic wording.

"What's more, you become Dao Zhijun's wife, which is something that the Jiutiao family sincerely hopes for..." she added meaningfully as she said.

"...including me."

Kirino Ikuko snorted coldly.

"...You're so ruthless, Miss Kujo."

The smile on Jiu Tiao Zizi's face did not change. "oh?"

Kirino Ikuko seemed to think of something, and smiled slightly.

"Poor Mr. Daozhi... It must be very uncomfortable to be trampled on by others, I think."

Jiu Tiao Zi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"In the eyes of the world, what Mr. Daozhi needs is Miss Tongye's sincerity." She replied with a smile.

"After all, I'm not as lucky as Ms. Kirino to meet an adoptive father who is willing to take care of everything for you." She also replied in a frightening tone.

Before leaning down to get out of the car, the adopted daughter of the Kujo family turned her head and stared at the adopted daughter of the Kirino family who was still sitting upright in the dark carriage.

"If you... or those adults have any thoughts about the Kujo family, please tell us directly." She said.

"One more point—"

"I really like the guy outside."

There was a strange smile on her face.

"...However, it's just 'I like it very much'."

"We are no longer in the same world."

A slightly surprised expression appeared on Kirino Ikuko's face, she thought for a while before saying: "...So, are you saying that you may still block our way in the future and cause trouble for us?"

Kutiao Noriko laughed silently.

"I'm saying... everything in the future should have nothing to do with that person outside."

"Even without him, I'm still going to do what I'm supposed to get done."

"Now that he's standing there, it won't stop me from continuing to do things that I think are meaningful."

She paused, and replied in a tone that was so straightforward that it was almost cruel.

"What I focus on is never Dao Zhijun."

"So, I won't stand in your way, Ms. Kirino."

Ikuko Kirino was sitting in the car, looking through the car window at the adopted daughter of the Kujo family who always had a friendly face but always gave people a sense of loftiness and arrogance. She crossed the empty street and walked lightly towards the street. The young man on the opposite side.

She suddenly snorted inexplicably.

"Noriko Kutiao..." She said the name, slowly rolling her tongue in her mouth, and licked her slightly dry upper jaw.

"What the hell is Father doing? She's just a little adopted daughter... how long will it take to find out about her past?" There was a little bit of resentment in her voice as she talked to herself.

"And, for such a long time, only that man can make her treat her differently..."

She turned her face sideways, watching Kutiao Noriko stop in front of the young man, raised her head slightly to look at him, seemed to be saying something with a smile.

"Showing such a gesture, such an expression..."

"It's no wonder Mr. Daozhi is worried."

Kirino Ikuko sneered lightly.

"I can't let you get in our way."

"So... if the matter has nothing to do with that person..."

Her eyes fell on the young man, watching him stretch out his hand to hold Kutiao Noriko's hand in the deepening twilight, as if she was seriously worried that she would not be able to see clearly in this dark sky. Seeing the actions of the two, Kirino Ikuko narrowed her eyes slightly.

"If this continues, I have no choice but to...please disappear."
