Without the presence of adults, everyone undoubtedly relaxed a lot. The more they chatted, the more they got along, filling the entire living room with laughter.
Although Koichiro is much older than Luo Zhen and Asuna and has already entered the society, he has shown a curiosity that is far stronger than that of a child. He often asks Luo Zhen and Asuna questions in the game. See It looks like I'm really yearning for it.
"Although I also have the full stealth machine, it is just a decoration in the room and is rarely used."
Koichiro couldn't help but sigh at this.
How could Koichiro, who has almost inherited the family business, have a job that requires him to run back and forth outside every day, rarely go home, and have his own rest time
Today was the same. Koichiro didn't go home until Luo Zhen arrived. It was obviously the first day of the new year, but he still had to deal with some work outside. This shows how busy Koichiro is.
Although Koichiro has never entered a virtual world before, he basically just wandered around there and had no time to play games at all.
In Kyoko's words, socially successful people like Koichiro don't have time to waste in games. This is the helplessness of the eldest son of the Yuuki family.
It is conceivable why Koichiro agrees with Luo Zhen's statement, and why he dare not say that he is carefree.
As a successful case cultivated by Kyoko's education, this so-called successful person basically has no happiness of his own. How can he be carefree
Of course, now that things have happened, Koichiro has no intention of resisting Kyoko. His life has been basically set. He will probably go on a blind date with a well-matched young lady somewhere, get married, and pass on the fine traditions of the Yuki family.
I wonder how tiring it would be for Koichiro to live like this.
only...
"Resistance is not enough, but I'm afraid I have to think carefully about how to make time for myself and enjoy life."
Koichiro said this with a smile, as if he didn't have any ideas at all.
The eldest son of the Yuuki family had begged Luo Zhen more than once to take him to play in ALO if he had time. Luo Zhen naturally nodded and agreed, claiming that he could do it anytime.
As for Asuna, seeing her brother like this, not only was she not worried, but she was even happier.
Asuna knew that as the only boy in the family, Koichiro was under far greater pressure than she was. If he could relax after work and come to ALO to play with them, then of course Asuna would be a One hundred are willing.
The three of them just chatted in the living room. They didn't stop until Shozo and Kyoko came down.
Then, the New Year's dinner begins.
A group of people gathered together in the restaurant and ate in a polite manner.
During this period, Shozo was as amiable as ever, while Kyoko still had a cold face and didn't say a word throughout the whole process.
To be honest, what Kyoko did in other places, considering her majesty and presence, would really make the atmosphere quite tense and heavy, making people very uncomfortable.
This is also the reason why Asuna, Koichiro and even Shozo usually don't like to contradict Kyoko. The main reason is that she is too good at affecting the atmosphere and rhythm around her, and her sense of presence is really strong.
It's a pity that Jingzi met Luo Zhen this year.
Again, compared to the various difficult enemies Luo Zhen had encountered before, Jingzi was really nothing.
Therefore, Luo Zhen took the initiative to speak several times, changing the topic and rhythm very cleverly. While talking and laughing, the atmosphere not only did not decline, but became better and more lively, making both Shozo and Koichiro begin to relax completely. Subconsciously ignoring Jingzi's presence, he chatted and laughed with Luo Zhen.
This made Jingzi's face become colder and colder, and her eyes looking at Luo Zhen became even more unhappy.
Presumably, this university professor, who is famous for his verbal and political tactics, has never experienced being ignored and unilaterally suppressed by others like this, right
Jingzi was once again impressed by Luo Zhen's ability, but he only had one thought in his mind.
(Having such ability but wasting it is really a waste of resources.)
Kyoko looked at Luo Zhen like this, and then looked at Luo Zhen Asuna who was watching tenderly and laughing and chatting with her family, her eyes twinkling slightly.
At this time, Jingzi almost had an idea.
(It depends on what you plan to do.)
Kyoko thought so.
Afterwards, under the leadership of Shozo, everyone finally left the Yuki family and went to the main residence of the Yuki family in their hometown.
On this day, many members of the Yuuki family gathered in the vast hall of their hometown to meet again.
This is the first time for Luo Zhen, and for Asuna, it is the annual meeting that has been separated for four years.
In November 2022, Asuna, a third-year junior high school student, was imprisoned in SAO until January 2025, which was exactly one year ago when she was rescued by Luo Zhen. Therefore, this was Asuna's violation. Four years later, I returned to my hometown to meet my relatives.
In her family's vast house built with a Kyoto-style teahouse, Asuna was forced to put on a kimono and greet many relatives, including her grandparents, like an NPC receiving guests.
The long-lost cousins were naturally very happy to see Asuna.
However, Luo Zhen, who was accompanying them, still found some uncomfortable feelings in their eyes, which were happy for Asuna's safe return.
Of course, these uncomfortable feelings became much stronger when they fell on me.
Obviously, the attitude of these so-called relatives is not good as Luo Zhen and others had guessed before.
This is true even among young people. One can only imagine the attitude between competing adults.
Asuna had been worried that Luo Zhen, who had been watching with a smile, would suddenly say something shocking and make everyone unable to get off the stage.
This is not an unnecessary worry.
Luo Zhen has this kind of character. If others are kind to him, he will be kind to others. If others are rude to him, he does not need to be polite. For the time being, he still gave enough face to Asuna's mother and did not fall out on the spot, but these If the so-called relatives are ignorant, Luo Zhen would never mind teaching them how to behave.
However, what surprised Luo Zhen was that the annual meeting, which he originally thought would not end well, ended smoothly.
No one made trouble for Luo Zhen, and no one cynicized openly in front of Luo Zhen. On the contrary, after the adults came on the stage, the entire Yuki family looked at Luo Zhen with doubts.
The reason is one person.
As mentioned before, the big figure in the Yuuki family who has the right to speak at the highest level of the national government actually came to visit Luo Zhen during the party and talked politely with Luo Zhen. talk.
The attitude of this big shot made everyone look at Luo Zhen in a different way. Even Shozo, Kyoko, Koichiro and even Asuna looked shocked.
Luo Zhen was also stunned, and then he understood.
(This person knows my identity, so he took the initiative to greet me, not only to give me face, but also to warn the rest of the family not to offend me and make the matter bigger, right?)
That's it.
The other party should also know very well that if Luo Zhen hides his energy, he is likely to be offended by relatives who have no discernment in the Yuki family. When the time comes, Luo Zhen will cause trouble, which will be troublesome.
In view of this, the other party simply took the initiative to come over and greet Luo Zhen politely, so as to impress the people around him and let them know that the person who even he needs to treat politely is definitely not an ordinary person, so don't Recklessly.
After that, the people around him no longer looked at Luo Zhen uncomfortable out of scruples. Instead, they became suspicious and talked about this matter.
As a result, the annual meeting went smoothly.
When the Yuki family left their hometown and returned to Miyasaka, Luo Zhen left the Yuki family and returned to the Kiritani family.
However, the aftermath of this incident is far from over.
