"What are you doing at the headquarters today?"
"My mother went to the headquarters to report on her work, so I went to visit her." Hayasaka Ai answered calmly.
Hayasaka Ai's mother, Hayasaka Nao, is a senior executive of the Shinomiya Group and often goes to the Shinomiya headquarters to report on her work. Hayasaka Ai also often uses this time to report to Shinomiya Huang Guang on Shinomiya Kaguya's situation.
Today is Nao Hayasaka's report day. Even if Kaguya Shinomiya makes a special investigation, she can't find anything wrong. Although Kaguya Shinomiya still has some doubts in her heart, she still nodded.
"Who told you this news?" Shinomiya Kaguya stopped thinking about the suspicious points about Hayasaka Ai and blinked lightly, thinking about the information brought by Hayasaka Ai.
"I don't know the other person's identity, I just remember his general appearance."
Hayasaka Ai was well prepared for this. As she was an undercover agent, she actually secretly wrote down the information of many people in case of emergency.
"Dr. Tanuma?" Kaguya Shinomiya's expression was a little serious.
Dr. Tanuma's full name is Tanuma Shozo. He is the private physician of the Shinomiya family. He once performed heart surgery on a former Prime Minister and is a truly famous doctor.
Although Dr. Tanuma's medical skills are not as good as Yami's, because there are some conflicts between the Shinomiya family and the Hayama family, most people in the Shinomiya family still trust Dr. Tanuma more.
Including Kaguya Shinomiya's father, Kaguya Shinomiya Gan'an, and her elder brother, Shinomiya Huangguang and others, they all trust Dr. Tanuma more, and it is normal for Dr. Tanuma to know some secret information.
Although Kaguya Shinomiya still had some doubts about the source of Hayasaka Ai's information, she did not doubt the authenticity of the information.
[Is this my father's intention? Or is it Sigong Huangguang's intention?]
Shinomiya Kaguya lowered her head in thought.
"Hayasaka, have you got any other information?" Shinomiya Kaguya raised her head and looked at Hayasaka Ai. She vaguely felt that Hayasaka Ai might have hidden some information.
In fact, Hayasaka Ai did not reveal a lot of information. After all, the role she was going to play was a maid who accidentally heard secret news. If she explained everything in detail, it would definitely make Shinomiya Kaguya more alert.
"I seemed to hear Dr. Tanuma say that next Sunday, Miss Kaguya might be asked to meet some people." Hayasaka Ai pretended to be trying hard to recall.
"But I was quite far away when Dr. Tanuma spoke, so I can't be sure if I heard it wrong."
"Some? Isn't it a certain person?" Kaguya Shinomiya immediately found the key point.
"From the context of Dr. Tanuma's words, it seems that there is more than one person." Hayasaka Ai said.
Shinomiya Kaguya's pupils contracted instantly. According to Hayasaka Ai, the Shinomiya family seemed to have prepared a large blind date for her.
Originally, Shinomiya Kaguya suspected that this was Shinomiya Huangguang's own decision, but now she has dispelled this idea.
Without Sigong Yan'an's approval, Sigong Huangguang would not have dared to do it so grandly.
Shinomiya Kaguya lowered her head, deep in thought.
In a sense, Shinomiya Gan'an did not actually interfere too much in Shinomiya Kaguya's life.
Although Shinomiya Kaguya's position in the Shinomiya family is very awkward, her status as a bastard and her inheritance of Shinomiya Nayatake's weak body destined her to be unable to become a core member of the Shinomiya family.
When she was young, Shinomiya Kaguya was abandoned and adopted by Hayasaka Ai's mother Hayasaka Nao. She was brought back to Shinomiya's family only when she was two years old.
No matter from which angle you look at it, Shinomiya Kaguya seems to be just a tool of the Shinomiya family, and this is indeed the case in the eyes of others.
But Shinomiya Kaguya herself did not think so. If she was just a tool, her eldest brother who was destined to inherit the family business would not target her so much.
Even though Shinomiya Kaguya didn't know about Hayasaka Ai's undercover identity, she could feel Shinomiya Huangguang's disgust and hostility towards her.
This kind of disgust and hostility even exceeded the disgust that Sigong Huangguang felt towards his other two younger brothers.
From this aspect, Shinomiya Kaguya can judge that her identity in the Shinomiya family is not just a tool for marriage.
On the other hand, Shinomiya Gan'an's attitude towards Shinomiya Kaguya is also rather subtle.
Shinomiya Kaguya had hardly ever seen her father, and was even abandoned by Shinomiya Yanan.
You should really hate Kaguya Shinomiya.
But there was one thing that was a bit strange. When Shinomiya Kaguya returned to the Shinomiya family and went to pay her respects at the tombstone of Shinomiya Nayatake, there were always a few roses placed in front of the tombstone. This was the case every time, without exception.
At the same time, Shinomiya Yanan also gave Shinomiya Kaguya an almost "free" life, allowing her to be in a semi-free-range state.
It seems that he is distancing himself from Shinomiya Kaguya, but Shinomiya Kaguya knows well that she has no chance to compete for the power of the Shinomiya family. Instead, Shinomiya Yan'an's letting her go has given her a new possibility.
In Shinomiya Kaguya's judgment, she felt that she might not have absolute freedom, but compared to other people in the Shinomiya family, she was already much freer.
Therefore, this sudden incident made her feel indescribably strange.
Shigong Yan'an had never supervised me, but now he suddenly asked someone to choose a husband for me. What happened that made him change his mind?
Shinomiya Kaguya didn't think that her previous inference was wrong, so it could only be that some unexpected situation caused Shinomiya Yan'an to change his mind.
[Although the Shinomiya family's business has had some ups and downs, it is still on an upward trend overall and does not need a "marriage" to save the situation. ]
[What's more, if there is any problem with the business of the Shigong family, my status as a concubine's daughter is not enough to be used as a resource for transaction. ]
So, what happened?
The information in hand was not enough for analysis and judgment, so Kaguya Shinomiya clenched her teeth.
【Let’s make sure the information is accurate first. 】
Chapter 446: Early Morning Theater
[Umaru-chan, why is this girl sleeping on the floor? ]
Looking at Tsuchima Yui in his arms, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink.
[It’s because… I fell asleep on the edge of the bed last night, so…]
Thinking of this, Yushan Heren's eyes softened a lot. He lifted the quilt, stood up gently, then wrapped the quilt around Tsuchimami's body, and then carefully carried Tsuchimami to the bed along with the quilt.
【Let her rest for a while. 】
Yushan Kazuto touched Tsuchimiya's forehead. The fever had subsided, but he still looked a little tired. It would be better for him to rest for a while.
[No, didn’t I sleep on my stomach at the head of the bed last night? How did I end up lying sideways?]
……
Back in his bedroom, Shirasaki Hana was still sleeping soundly, and it looked like she hadn't woken up last night. Yushan Kazuto walked into the bathroom and prepared to brush his teeth, when he suddenly felt something strange in his mouth.
[Why does my mouth feel sweet? I don’t think I ate any candy last night! ]
But without thinking too much, Yushan Heren shook his head and started washing up.
……
"Mei, it's so cold, are you out for a run too?" Looking at Kato Megumi doing fitness exercises at the intersection, Yushan Kazuto jogged over.
"The snow has stopped!" Kato Megumi said, "The elementary school students are working hard on their sports, so I can't be lazy!"
"Well, let's see if you can keep up with my speed!" Yushan Heren chuckled.
Kato Megumi rolled her eyes at Yushan Kazuto and said, "The roads are slippery in the snow, be careful not to fall!"
……
It is already winter, and the daybreaks are getting later and later. Although it is already six o'clock in the morning, there is only a hint of morning light on the road.
The two of them walked side by side on the road, leaving four neat rows of footprints, two large and two small, lightly drawing a few strokes in the snow in this early morning.
"Mei? When I went to your house yesterday, why did you hide in your room and refuse to come out?"
While running, Yushan Kazuto asked.
"Hey... I'm not hiding in my room!" Kato Megumi said, "I'm studying hard in my room!"
"Really? Are you secretly jealous in your room?" Yushan Kazuto said with a smirk.
"Primary school students, don't let your imagination run wild!"
……
In the room, Tsuchima also woke up.
【What happened to me? I was lying on the bed?】
Doma Mai vaguely remembered that at the end of last night, she should have slept on the floor with Yushan Kazuto.
[Sure enough, were all those things last night just a dream? ]
Tsuchima shook her head, but saw the towel on the bedside table.
[No, it wasn't a dream! Was it... that scumbag senior who carried me back to bed? ]
Tsuchiya's little face suddenly turned red, and she felt annoyed when she thought of the crazy things she had done last night.
[Her Mamoru actually took the initiative to kiss the scumbag senior. Could it be... that she was really unconscious because of the fever? ]
Recalling the kissing scene, Tsuchima Mai blinked her beautiful eyes slightly and quickly covered her head with the quilt.
【At that time, it was probably because the floor was too cold. 】
Tsuchiya tried hard to find a reasonable explanation, but although these explanations all made sense, they were still somewhat puzzling.
Of course, what puzzled Tsuchima the most was that although she felt very shy, she did not feel disgusted.
[How did Umaru-chan become like this? ]
[Did the scumbag senior fall asleep at that time? 】
[No matter how you look at it, he should be asleep, but... can he still perform such an action while asleep? ]
Tujian's cheeks puffed up and he felt a little angry.
[Sure enough, he is a scumbag senior. He doesn't forget to do bad things even when he is sleeping. ]
Lying on the bed, Doma Mai imagined the pillow as Yushan Kazuto. In her mind, she had already thrown a left hook and a right hook, and then used the Nine Yin White Bone Claw to tear the pillow apart. But when her fists really hit the pillow, Doma Mai couldn't help but lose her strength.
[No, no, this pillow belongs to Xiaohua. If it gets broken, Xiaohua will blame me.]
Doma Mai was looking for reasons for her actions, and she was still a little angry towards Yushan Kazuto.
But before she could be angry for long, the door opened.
"Hey, Umaru-chan, you're awake."
Looking at Tsuchima Mai who had already opened her eyes on the bed, Yushan Kazuto blinked and said.
Tsuchima also blinked unnaturally: "Scumbag, scumbag senior, good morning, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing much. I just brought your socks over. Wasn't the pair from last night broken?"
[Damn you, you scumbag senior, you always avoid the important issues! Tell me what you did last night! ]
"Then put it next to the bed. I'll put it on when I get up."
Although she was extremely angry, Tsuchiya Mai didn't dare say it out loud. She could only curse a few words in her heart to satisfy her anger.
Yushan Kazuto placed the stockings on the bedside, together with Tsuchima Umi's clothes, and took out a thermometer, saying with a smile: "It's time to take your temperature, Tsuchima-scholar."
"Why, why do you suddenly call me that?" Tsuchimiya was suddenly panicked and her little face turned red again.
"Hey, your face keeps turning red. Is the fever not completely gone yet?"
"No, I don't know." Domama shook her head and cursed Yushan Kazuto in her heart.
……
"Thirty-six point five degrees
! Congratulations, Komari, the fever has been successfully reduced! " Seeing the temperature on the thermometer, Yushan Kazuto looked at Tsuchima with a smile.
"This, this is something to congratulate? Humph, scumbag senior!" said Doma Mai with a pout.
"Can you also call me a scumbag senior?" Yushan Kazuto was a little confused about Tsuchiya Yui's logic and couldn't help but blink.
"You scumbag senior, please get out quickly! Yumi-chan needs to change her clothes." Yumi-chan kicked her two jade legs hard on the bed.
"Hey, I stayed up so late last night, but you got mad at me this morning." Yushan Heren sighed, "The world is so fickle and people are no longer the same as they used to be!"
When Tsuchiya heard this, she immediately lowered her head and said, "Yes, I'm sorry!"
"Who are you saying sorry to? Is it your most handsome senior Kazuto?" Yushan Kazuto laughed.
Tsuchima Mai immediately revealed a disgusted expression: "I'm saying sorry to the dumbest scumbag senior!"
"That's definitely not me. I'm neither a fool nor a scumbag." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
[The term "idiot" is still open to debate, but the term "scumbag" has long been established! ]
Domame raised her head and gave Yushan Kazuto a cold look.
"So this is what you call Himouto-chan! Last night I was worried that you had a brain burn because you kept saying weird things."
