Nohara Anko's hand that was touching the kitten's head gradually stopped.

She lowered her head, her face hidden under her long bangs, and remained silent.

After a long silence, Nohara Anko laughed softly.

"Maki-nee, it's you who doesn't understand the situation, right?"

She looked up suddenly, her eyes calm, as if what Touwen Maki had just said had not caused her any emotional fluctuations at all.

"Girls' intuition is sharp, especially when it comes to love. This is what the book says, and I agree with it."

"When I saw the way Sister Fuyao looked at Mr. Shangshan, I understood everything."

"Just like when I see the way you look at Uesugi-kun, I will also understand - you like Uesugi-kun too, right?"

"I know it all."

"But what does it matter if you know?"

"I'm different from you, Maki-nee."

"I'm not as pretty as you, nor do I have such a prominent family background as you. I'm not smart enough, and I can't help Uesugi-kun with work. I can only wash his clothes and cook for him - things that anyone can do."

"Who am I to give orders to Uesugi-kun and try to win his heart?"

"I'm very happy to be able to stay with him."

"Yes, I know that Uesugi-kun has gone to see another woman. I will be sad and miserable too."

"But compared to what I've been through, this kind of heartbreak and pain is nothing."

"Because, if Uesugi-kun is gone."

"I will die."

Nohara Anko's eyes suddenly widened and her expression became extremely serious.

"You don't understand, Maki-nee."

"I have nothing left--literally nothing!"

"Uesugi-kun is all I have. In all the life I've lived and have left, he's all I have."

"So, I would rather just shamelessly stay by his side and take more of his tenderness."

"This is enough."

"I don't think about anything else."

"If one day, Uesugi-kun really falls in love with another girl and wants to marry her, I will leave tactfully and will not disturb him."

"But, before that!"

"I would rather just stay with him like this."

"nothing else needed!"

Chapter 298 Reunion

Just when Touwen Maki was rubbing her head with a headache and felt that her love rivals were all monsters.

Ueno Mitsuishi was driving the business car carrying Uesugi Kiyoshi and was almost arriving at the Tokyo area - this is the eastern part of Kyoto. The more famous place is Kyoto University, and the environment is relatively quiet and elegant.

The vehicle slowly stopped, Uesugi Kiyoshi got out, stretched, and looked at the sign in front of him.

This is a restaurant called "Shiran". Among the high-rise buildings in a city like Kyoto, it is actually a three-story building.

The restaurant seems to specialize in French cuisine. Regardless of whether it has Michelin stars or not, every brick and tile of the restaurant is decorated in an extremely luxurious way. Through the decoration here, Uesugi Kiyoshi can see the owner's face sharpening his knife to rip off customers.

He had never been to such a high-end place, but since Li Fuyao asked him to meet here, he had no choice but to go in and experience it.

Perhaps it was because the Horcrux clothing produced by the Collectibles Association increased his value, or perhaps it was because after he awakened his memories of past and present lives, his temperament became somewhat superior, and the common plots of looking down on others did not appear on him.

Of course, the most likely reason is that the quality of the waiters in such places is quite high, and the plots in novels and movies are, after all, just plots.

After stating his purpose of looking for someone, Uesugi Kiyoshi came to the third floor under the guidance of a polite waiter.

The third floor is a semi-open-air terrace with a few scattered tables. It should be a good place for afternoon tea. From here you can see the gate of Kyoto University and the Yoshida Shrine to the south. The scenery is nice.

But Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't care about the scenery because something more beautiful caught his eyes.

In his impression, Qing Xingdeng always wore a blue and white kimono, and Li Fuyao always wore a white shirt and jeans. The occasional cheongsam was enough to amaze him for a while.

Today's black dress slightly subverted his perception.

The girl, with a calm face, crossed her long legs and sat on a chair beside the terrace railing. Her profile was blocked by her hanging black hair, and a mysterious and intellectual charm was inadvertently revealed, attracting the attention of almost everyone here.

She has this kind of magical power. When she doesn't want to be noticed, she will disappear from the public's sight. When she wants to be the focus of everyone's attention, even the scorching sun and the bright moon can hardly cover up her brilliance.

The smile on Uesugi Kiyoshi's face softened unconsciously.

His head felt a little dizzy, as the memories of his past and present lives were merging and awakening, reminding him that the beautiful girl in front of him might have stayed in the darkness for a thousand years for him.

Taking a deep breath, Uesugi Kiyoshi tugged at the buttons of his shirt, unexpectedly feeling a little nervous.

Well. Obviously, they were very familiar people in both lives, but they gave him a strange feeling of homesickness and surprise.

Thinking of this, he walked over quickly.

Then, he stopped and lowered his eyes, and Li Fuyao raised his head as if he understood something.

Two somewhat similar gazes met, entangled, and then seemed to be rubbed together, inseparable.

"Sit down. You must be tired after traveling all day."

Li Fuyao nodded slightly, motioning Shangshan Qing to sit down. She seemed very calm, but her excited words and sweet smile were enough to show that she was in a very good mood.

The same was true for Uesugi Kiyoshi. He sat opposite Li Fuyao, his throat surging with emotions and a thousand words he wanted to say in his heart, but in the end he could only sigh.

"Yeah, long time no see."

Li Fuyao tilted his head and kept looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi, observing his demeanor, expression, and the temperament revealed in his eyebrows and eyes. His smile became more and more satisfied.

"It's only been less than half a month, which is a long time. Why, do you miss me?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded sharply without hesitation.

"Well, I missed you."

There was no tenderness or sweetness in his eyes, nor the frivolity and cynicism of teasing a young girl; there was only a sense of naturalness.

Li Fuyao was stunned for a moment, then looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi's serious face, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She smiled, and the pleats of her black dress fluttered, making her look like a blooming black lotus, elegant and eye-catching.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was somewhat immune to this, and said helplessly, "What's so funny?"

"In a sense, it's been a long time since we last met, right?"

Li Fuyao knew what Uesugi Kiyoshi was talking about.

What he was talking about was the thousand years of time, the separation before Heian-kyo, the separation between Yin and Yang, the reunion but as strangers, and the need to get to know each other all over again.

But, not bad.

Li Fuyao smiled quietly and touched the necklace on her chest.

Hidden in the dress, there was a button that she had taken off Uesugi Kiyoshi's shirt.

That's the place closest to the heart.

When she looked around, she saw that the position was still empty and had not been replaced by any other button, which made her feel more comfortable.

The silhouette of the Lord of a Hundred Demons from a thousand years ago gradually overlapped with the spirited young man in front of him.

The same gentle smile as always made Li Fuyao suddenly feel that all she had paid for seemed to be worth it.

Including sleeping in the cold underworld for a thousand years, and after waking up hastily, he had to plan the next step, to help his beloved avoid danger and bring good luck, so that he could return to this world smoothly.

Even the Lord of Hyakumonogatari could not help but feel exhausted.

but.

He really came back.

He didn't leave me alone, and I could continue to write his story.

The story that left countless traces on me.

Her eyes and brows were as gentle as spring breeze and autumn water, and she just stared at Uesugi Kiyoshi, as if she wanted to release all the longing that had accumulated over a long time.

Although Li Fuyao had been watching Uesugi Kiyoshi for a long time before he stepped into the Baiwen Pavilion.

To put it in a more perverse way, every bit of Uesugi Kiyoshi's growth is in Li Fuyao's painting.

However, it is different whether you think about the past or not.

Before, he was just Uesugi Kiyoshi. Now, apart from his identity as Uesugi Kiyoshi, he is still the Lord of a Hundred Demons who stood up bravely back then.

Shang Shanqing was a little embarrassed by Li Fuyao's gaze. He smiled awkwardly and whispered, "What's wrong? You've been looking at me like this since just now?"

Li Fuyao nodded with a smile.

"Nothing, I just wanted to see you more."

"Ah, let's see if the great hero who left all the mess to me and died cleanly has changed at all."

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked away feeling somewhat guilty.

"."

"I didn't, I wasn't, don't talk nonsense."

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"My memory has not been fully restored. There are many blank spaces. It seems that I did this on purpose because I was afraid of my enemies. I don't think you will tell me, right?"

Li Fuyao nodded again.

"Since you know the answer, then don't say it out loud. It's so hurtful."

"You have to find the cause and effect yourself. I know, but I can't tell you."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

"Tell me, what do you remember?"
