"Hello, Shengshi."
Ye Yi held his chopsticks and bowl, his brows trembling as he looked at his smiling father.
"What? Ye Yi."
Sheng Shi was also holding a bowl with a pair of chopsticks, looking at Yuyi of the Four-Maple Courtyard who was smiling.
"Why are you still asking me? Why are you eating at my house?”
"Ask your father. I was dragged in by force.”"But even so, I can guess what your father wants to do. You should have guessed it too, right?"”
"If I could, I wish I could never guess."
Ye Yi's face was gloomy. At this hour, he still forced himself to stay and be a guest at home. Combined with the topic of quarreling with Yuyi of the Four Maple Court yesterday, Ye Yi could guess what his father wanted to do no matter how hard he tried.
Just as the two of them were whispering to each other, Yuyi of the Four Maple Court put down his bowl and chopsticks when he saw that dinner was almost over. He clenched his fists and coughed lightly before narrowing his eyes and smiling.
"Ye Yi, you…"
"No way!"
Without waiting for his father to finish his sentence, Ye Yi's face darkened as he chewed on his food and flatly denied it. This made Yuyi of the Four Maple Court look a little embarrassed. He then turned to look at Sheng Shi.
"Life and death, you"
"Not interested."
Although his tone wasn't as resolute as Ye Yi's, Sheng Shi also refused without hesitation. This made the awkwardness on Four Maple Court's Yuyi's face even worse. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
However, Yuyi of the Four Maple Court didn't know what to say, but Ye Yi had something to say.
"You bastard! What are you talking about!" Hearing Shi Sheng's firm and indifferent reply, Ye Yi suddenly jumped up and grabbed Shi Sheng's collar, shouting,""What do you mean by not interested? Am I not worthy of you?!"
"What's wrong? Why don't I change my words and say that I'm interested?"
Facing Ye Yi's angry expression, Sheng Shi responded indifferently, but the anger on Ye Yi's face became even more intense.
"That's even more problematic!! Can't you find another reason to refuse?! You sound as if you don't like me!”
"To be honest, I really don't like it.”
" What did you say?!!"
Just as Ye Yi was about to lose control of his emotions, Yuyi of the Four Maple Court scolded her.
"Ye Yi! How could he be so rude? Life and death are guests!"
"Tsk!"
Ye Yi snorted coldly and loosened his grip on Sheng Shi's collar. He sat down and continued to eat. Looking at the way he gritted his teeth, it was obvious that he wanted to swallow Sheng Shi whole.
After teasing Ye, Shi Sheng put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Yuyi of the Four Maple Court very naturally.
" I'm very sorry. I didn't just make up an excuse. I'm not dissatisfied with Ye Yi either. It's just that for personal reasons, I'm not interested in marriage.”Sheng Shi paused and continued," Besides, we're still young and it's not the time to talk about marriage yet. Such a hasty engagement is not good for me or Ye Yi. Things change quickly and I can't guarantee my future. Whether it's for Ye Yi or the Four Maple House, you should consider this matter more carefully. So please forgive me for not being able to accept your kindness.”
Ye Yi's gloomy expression slowly turned for the better when he heard Sheng Shi's words. He bit his chopsticks and looked at Sheng Shi in surprise, his dark golden pupils flowing with some light.
(This guy's words are quite pleasant to hear.)）
What surprised Ye Yi even more was the way Shi Sheng spoke. Shi Sheng was obviously a more casual person than him, but his words were so calm and well-mannered. It was really unexpected.
Yuyi of the Four Maple Court was silent for a moment after hearing what Sheng Shi said, and then he closed his eyes slightly.
"I was rude."
"Thank you for your hospitality. The dinner was delicious. My old man is probably waiting for me too. I'll go home first.”
Life and Death smiled and once again returned to his casual manner. He stood up and left the house of the Four Maple Court with three shallow knives.
Feeling the spiritual pressure of life and death gradually fade away, Yuyi of the Four Maple Court slowly opened his eyes and could not help but sigh softly.
"Head Captain, you really adopted a good grandson.”
It was true that Yuyi wanted Ye Yi and Shengshi to be engaged. In fact, this idea was largely for the benefit of the family and to allow Ye Yi to have a greater say in the family in the future. According to his own selfishness, Yuyi was actually very unwilling to let his precious daughter get engaged to a boy he had not seen many times, even if the other party was the grandson of the head captain.
If Sheng Shi had accepted his proposal without any hesitation, it would have made Yuyi of Four Maple Court feel uneasy. Now that Sheng Shi had said this, not only did he not dispel Yuyi's thoughts, but he had instead intensified them several times.
"Ye Yi." Yuyi of the Four-Maple House looked at his daughter seriously." This is a joint order from the family head and father. You must have a good relationship with him."”
"Huh? Didn't I just say no?"
"It doesn't matter even if we don't get married in the future.”Without waiting for Ye Yi to finish, Yuyi of the Four Maple Court interrupted her. He lightly tapped the light hand that was placed beside Ye Yi." Even if you and he have always been friends, that is enough."”
“......”
Seeing his father's solemn expression, Ye Yi was no longer in the mood to argue with him. He bit his chopsticks and scratched his head helplessly.
"Alright, alright ~ His personality is quite to my liking. Even if you didn't say it, I would have done it.”
"Yes, that's good." Yuyi of the Four Maple Court nodded. He then frowned and asked again,"Ye Yi, do you really not want to get engaged to him?”
"Didn't I say no way! You bastard father!"
————————————
When he returned to the Yamamoto family mansion, it was not too late yet. After staying in this world for two days, he walked in through the open door for the first time. He carried three light guns to the brightly lit living room. When he opened the door, he saw his cheap grandfather wearing a feather robe, kneeling on the ground facing him. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he opened his turbid eyes.
"I'm back."
A faint question that seemed to be a statement came out of Yamamoto's mouth. Life and Death came to Yamamoto casually and sat down cross-legged. He casually placed the shallow sword in his hand on the ground and picked up his own sword and stood in front of him.
"Old man, tell me about the shallow fight and the sword.”
Yamamoto didn't answer immediately. He closed his eyes and asked in a low voice.
"Why?"
"Because I want to learn."
Life and Death calmly expressed his inner thoughts without any hesitation.
He was no longer in his original world. This was something that he had remembered when he first came to the Corpse Soul World.
Since that was the case, he should abandon the past and not indulge in the past. Moreover, he had already achieved the ideals of his previous life. He no longer had any nostalgia for his original world. Therefore, the most important thing for him to do now was to live in this world as Zhi Ming, find a new ideal that belonged to him, and work hard to realize it.
Survival of the fittest, natural selection. This was the law of survival that he had always believed in in his previous life. He might have been the leader of ten thousand people in his previous life, but here, he was still a nameless soldier. The identity of the grandson of Yamamoto Genyanagi Shigekuni was not reliable to him, let alone being adopted. Only when he truly had the power in his hands could he feel at ease.
Looking at the determined eyes of his adopted grandson, Yamamoto Genyanagi Shigekuni seemed to have thought of something. After a moment, he slowly opened his mouth and said something with a double meaning.
"Alright."
