"Oh?

Are you so sure? "Rokudo showed an interested expression.

"Hmph." Nara smiled sinisterly,

He put down a black chess piece in his hand,

He instantly ate five white chess pieces. "So far, what she wants to do..,

She's done it..,

It's very interesting... "

There seemed to be an infinite meaning hidden in his words, although she couldn't understand..,

Xia Kong still had goosebumps all over her body.

She wanted to ignore Nara even more and turned to look at Rokudo. "Do you need my help?"

Rokudo curled his lips into a smile and pressed a white chess piece, surrounding Nara's black chess piece. "No..,

I don't need help. "

Being completely rejected..,

Xia Kong's feelings were a little complicated.

But thinking about it, she could accept it.

She exhaled softly and said goodbye. "Then sorry to disturb you. Goodbye."

After Rokudo's mission failed..,

Xiao Yan didn't have any special reaction.

Xia Kong, who thought that she would be electrocuted like before, was..,

She was suddenly surprised. "You don't care about this mission?"

Xiao Yan flapped her wings twice. "It's completely fine, Boss..,

Please treat it as an unimportant side mission. "

Since the character equivalent to the mission NPC had said so, Xia Kong temporarily put her doubts to the back of her mind.

Then, the Christmas ball arrived as scheduled.

Xia Kong was woken up early in the morning by the people sent by Xanxus,

After being stuffed into the car, she was taken to the Walia base.

After changing into a dress, she tidied up her hair,

Finally, it was makeup.

After she was done, Xia Kong pulled at the waist-tight dress on her body. It didn't feel good to be restrained.

Moreover..,

The dress was a passionate red.

It was beautiful, but it was a little too flamboyant for her age.

Well, it was Xanxus who chose it anyway. He paid, and she worked. This way, it was much easier to accept.

But when she saw Xanxus, Xia Kong suddenly wanted to express her approval of the designer.

Xanxus was wearing a black suit with a red feather on the right shoulder. The handmade clothes were perfectly tailored, making his body look slender.

Of course, if the expression on his face wasn't one of mockery —

"Hahaha ~" After laughing for a while, Xanxus reached out his hand and placed it in front of Xia Kong. "As expected, this outfit doesn't suit you."

Some parts of a young girl's body hadn't matured yet, so she couldn't bring out the characteristics of a red dress.

Xia Kong, who didn't know what Xanxus was thinking, slapped his hand away with a dark expression. "So you deliberately chose this for me?"

Xanxus proudly narrowed his eyes. "At least this will make me laugh."

What was the reason?

There was simply no way to communicate!

Extremely depressed, Xia Kong held back her anger and got into Xanxus's new black sports car.

The ball was held in a luxurious castle-style hotel. There were many different cars parked outside the hotel.

People from all walks of life walked into the hotel with their female companions by their sides and their subordinates in black. The atmosphere was very imposing.

Anyone who received Pengelly's invitation should also be a Mafia, so it was not surprising that they all had subordinates as bodyguards.

Xia Kong pretended not to see Xanxus's bent arm and only stood beside him as they walked in together.

Some familiar people gathered together to talk, and there were even couples who came with a child.

However, the child didn't want to be carried, so he gritted his teeth and tried to break free.

He was wearing a one-piece cow-like outfit and had two horns on his head. His little face under his black afro was red because of the effort he was exerting.

Seeing how cute he was, Xia Kong pursed her lips and smiled.

The black calf also happened to look over and blinked its big green eyes in confusion. "Ah la la, Lord Blue Wave hasn't seen you before."

Xia Kong approached him and replied, "Because it's my first time attending."

"Is that so?

Then, sister, can you take me to play? "The little cow stretched out his little hand with a look of longing.

She had wanted to rub Reborn's face for a long time, but she didn't dare to.

Now that there were other cute children, Xia Kong's heart moved. She politely asked the lady holding Blue Wave, "Madam, please forgive my offense. May I take him to play for a while?"

The lady holding him glanced at Xia Kong. "I'm sorry, Miss, Blue Wave is too naughty. I'm afraid he will cause trouble for the banquet."

"I'm sorry to make things difficult for you." Xia Kong cast a helpless look at Blue Wave.

Blue Wave saw that he couldn't get away through others, so he pursed his lips. "You have to be patient!"

Although he encouraged himself, his expression was still very aggrieved.

Seeing this, Xia Kong took a candy from the table next to her and handed it to him.

Blue Wave happily took the candy and stuffed it in his mouth. His words were unclear. "You're a good person, thank you!"

The little guy's mouth looked very funny with candy. Xia Kong grabbed another handful and handed it to him.

Blue Wave used both hands to throw the candy into his hair.

Miraculously, his hairstyle didn't change at all.

Xia Kong was about to reach out and poke his face when her hand was suddenly grabbed by Xanxus. She was taken to the front of the hall.

Kudaime and Reborn were standing there, along with a blond man.

"Long time no see, Grandpa Kudaime, Reborn." Xia Kong twisted her wrist, trying to get Xanxus to let go.

Xanxus was unmoved. His voice was cold. "Dad."

"Yes, you're here." Kudaime smiled kindly and then introduced, "Xia Kong, you haven't met him yet, right?

This is the boss of the Gabriel family, Dino. "

"And he's your senior," Reborn added.

Dino had a friendly smile on his face. He was interested. "So you're my junior. Hello."

Eh?

Was he Reborn's former student?

Xia Kong subconsciously returned a smile. "Hello, senior."

At this moment, Blue Wave's childish voice suddenly came from behind. "Sister, Blue Wave is here to play with you."

Xia Kong turned around and saw Blue Wave trying to run over with his short legs, holding a toy grenade in his hand.

The rich lady behind him shouted in panic, "Blue Wave, no!"

"Hehe!

Reborn, let's have a showdown! "

Blue Wave ran behind Xia Kong and threw the grenade at Reborn. Reborn smirked and kicked the grenade back at Blue Wave's head.

There was a boom —

In the midst of the smoke, Xia Kong realized that it was a real grenade. A rocket launcher popped out of Blue Wave's hair and covered her head.

After the darkness, she stared blankly at the brown-haired man in front of her.

What's going on?

The grown-up … Sawada Tsunayoshi?

Xia Kong was still in shock when the man who she suspected to be Sawada Tsunayoshi had already reached out and hugged her.

His embrace was warm, but too tight, so tight that she almost couldn't breathe.

"Xiao Kong …"

A slightly choked call sounded in her ear. Xia Kong's heart immediately tightened. "Ah Gang?"

Before she could get a response, the mature version of Hayato frowned and walked over. "Tenth generation leader, it's time to go. The Christmas dinner is about to start …"

However, when he saw her, he immediately widened his eyes in shock and disbelief. "Xia Kong?"

After shouting, he looked away and said as if he was holding back something, "I'm sorry."

After saying this, Hayato turned around and walked into the forest not far away with his fists clenched.

"What's going on?" Confused, Xia Kong gently pushed Sawada Tsunayoshi. "Ah Gang?"

"Let me hug you again … Just a little more." Knowing that it was just a short meeting, Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes still turned red.

However, now that he had grown up, he could no longer vent his emotions by crying like he did ten years ago.

"Okay."

Feeling the wetness on her shoulder, Xia Kong hugged him back. "I wanted to say that you look a lot older. Why are you still the same as before?

Don't cry, okay? "

In fact, knowing that Sawada Tsunayoshi was crying, Xia Kong didn't feel good either.

It was strange, as if his emotions could be transmitted to her.

After a while, Sawada Tsunayoshi calmed down and held Xia Kong's shoulder. "You should be attending a ball in Italy right now?

Did you meet Blue Wave? "

The mature male voice was deep and pleasant to the ears. Coupled with the sharp lines on his face, Xia Kong fell into a trance as she looked at him.

"Yeah."

She nodded and said helplessly, "He was hit by his own grenade, and something popped out from his hair and covered me."

"Sure enough."

Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes flashed with relief. "That's a rocket launcher from ten years later … If hit, it will be swapped with the person ten years later. The duration is five minutes …"

He seemed to have thought of something and showed a slight smile. "Have you been sitting here looking at me the whole time?

You're … too selfish. "

Emm …

Being deliberately mentioned, Xia Kong couldn't help but look down at where she was sitting.

Then she was shocked.

Tombstone?

Whose tomb?

Xia Kong used a little strength to jump to the ground and finally saw the name engraved on the tombstone.

"Me?

In here? "She died in the world ten years later?

If it was a direct exchange, then the person sitting on the tombstone was Xia Kong who died ten years later and became a ghost …

Why?

"Sorry, I have an agreement with someone. If I see you today, I can't tell you … the cause of your death." As if he heard Xia Kong's thoughts, Sawada Tsunayoshi directly answered.

As he spoke, his pupils shrank and he added, "Xiao Kong … go back to Japan as soon as possible. At that time, I've been waiting for you."

The seemingly confusing sentence made Xia Kong even more confused.

Someone knew that she would be swapped with the person ten years later and made a notice in advance.

That person must be at the ball.

"I know it will take time to accept this … but there's not much time left.

Xiao Kong, you must remember that Sawada Tsunayoshi likes you very much. "

"At that time, we were like idiots. No matter what we say on Christmas two years later … please wait for one more day …"

"Happy birthday."

Soft lips pressed on her forehead. Xia Kong's eyes turned red from the warm touch.

But the touch suddenly disappeared, and she seemed to hear a sentence in her ear. "I've always been grateful for your arrival …"

She didn't know where she read this sentence: Kissing the forehead means that you cherish it.

After subconsciously pressing her forehead, Xia Kong realized that she was in mid-air and began to fall.

The sense of weightlessness made her panic. Just as she was about to activate the death energy mode, her body was held by the waist.

It was Shōmaru.
