"In terms of appearance, posture, family background... I can't compare to Sanako and Miss Kinoshita."

"I am neither as cute as Miss Kinoshita nor as beautiful as Sanako."

"Neither as petite and lovely as Miss Kinoshita, nor as graceful as Sanako."

"Miss Kinoshita never revealed her family background to me, she only mentioned that she was an adopted orphan, but judging from Miss Kinoshita's daily conversation, I guess... no, it was me who concluded that the family that adopted Miss Kinoshita was definitely not a small family."

"Not to mention Zunazi, even the few maids in the martial arts world in the country, are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery and weaving clothes, and are proficient in everything, and can be both literary and martial. They are simply the incarnation of the word "Shombus"."

"And I... are just an ordinary lower-level samurai daughter."

"Not only did I not have a prominent background, but I also lost my parents since I was a child. I was all thanks to my sister to pull me up."

"Apart from that, I have not received much education. Not to mention etiquette and art, I have not even recognized Chinese characters, and I can't even read "The Analects of Confucius" smoothly."

"The only advantage that I am worth mentioning... is swordsmanship."

"In terms of feminine charm, I am completely unable to compare with Miss Kinoshita and Sanako."

"So, I was really surprised when I heard Kiriko say 'You like me, Sanako and Miss Kinoshita'."

"I feel like 'Who can be with these two girls like me?', ahhahaha..."

"Ah, it seems to be a bit off topic. Hahaha, let's get back to the topic."

The chief officer was sitting in a straight position, then took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with a soft light.

"Anyway-Jujun, if you don't dislike it... I'm willing to cook miso soup for you for the rest of my life!"

"Then... go do what you want, don't care about me."

"You are willing to marry me, which has made me feel great joy and honor. I will not...I dare not ask for more."

After saying that, the chief executive showed a sweet smile.

Although she covered it up very well... Qingdeng still found the meaning of forcing a smile on the corners of her mouth, eyebrows, etc.

Especially when the General Office said that "there was a bad background and he had lost his parents since childhood", Qingdeng, with good eyesight, clearly found that her eyebrows and corners of her mouth drooped slightly, and a faint sadness appeared in her eyes.

In an instant, Qingdeng's face was filled with surprise.

This was the first time he saw the Chief Executive showing such a disconfidence...or such a inferior side.

Just like "optimistic" and "cheerful" as the chief executive, who is synonymous with "cheerfulness", can even feel inferior?

It's incredible when I think about it.

But after thinking carefully, I realized that this was not impossible.

The Chief Executive rarely talks about the family behind him in front of outsiders.

Even if I mention it, I won't talk much.

She would always smile and talk about all the topics related to her family and relatives.

Over time, Qingdeng unconsciously ignored a very cruel fact: the original family of the General Office... was a tragedy.

I have almost never felt fatherly love and motherly love.

He relied on two sisters who were not many years older than her.

The head of the company growing in such an environment... the family is short of money, so there is no need to say that.

Compared with physical hardships, spiritual pain may make the General Secretary feel more distressed.

Don’t underestimate the impact of “parent love” on your children.

Happy people are healed by childhood all their lives; unfortunate people are healing their childhood all their lives.

The absence of parents can easily lead to personality defects and even psychological distortions in the process of growing up.

This is why people from families who have lost their relatives often go on the road of no return to commit crimes.

Although he was born in an unfortunate family, he was not defeated by the pain of life. Instead, he still lived a life with a positive and sunny smile... People like the Chief Executive Officer are rare.

However, although the General Office always looks like "the misfortune of childhood has not affected me at all", judging from the small expression of her drooping eyebrows and lips that she just showed... the real situation does not seem to be like this.

As soon as he thought of this, Qingdeng pursed his lips in annoyance - he was upset about his innocent thoughts in the past.

Previously, he had always taken it for granted that the Chief Secretary was a "human-shaped angel" who did not know what sorrow and depression was. Even the tragic experience in her childhood could not make her smile appear half-shady.

Innocence...too naive...

At this moment, Qingdeng Hou realized after realizing that the idea he had always held was really naive.

Even a "human-shaped angel" like the chief officer cannot avoid the influence of the original family on oneself, and will feel inferior for one's background...

"People like me" one by one...

Too ashamed to put himself and Mai Kinoshita, Sanako was placed in the side-by-side position...

I feel that I am not qualified to put forward my own ideas and opinions to Qingdeng...

Qingdeng looked at the General Office deeply.

After a while, he turned the overflowing emotions into voice:

"…Miss Okina. You seem to be getting a little wrong."

“Hey?”

The chief officer showed a confused expression.

The next breath, confusion turned into surprise.

"ah!"

Qingdeng opened his arms and hugged the Chief Secretary into his arms without saying a word, and walked around her back and gently stroked her.

"Although you have defamed yourself to nothing... but in my eyes, the 'light' in you is not inferior to Awu and Miss Zuo Nazi at all."

“?!”

The Chief Officer, who was unable to move due to being hugged by Qingdeng, struggled to drill his little head out of Qingdeng's arms, and looked at Qingdeng with suspicion.

Facing the eyes of the chief officer, the lines on Qingdeng's face gradually became softer.

"After realizing that you are no longer as simple as an ordinary friend to me, I have been thinking about a question: When did I fall in love with you?"

"Even for a long time after discovering your true gender, I regard you as my most important friend."

"I haven't figured out this question until now."

"But, on another question, I got a very clear answer - for what reason do I love you?"

Qingdeng's cheeks were further relaxed, and the corners of his mouth were relaxed, and he followed up with a smile:

"The answer is surprisingly simple - I was fascinated by your smile."

"Smile?" The chief officer opened his mouth blankly.

"Well. Miss Okita, hasn't anyone ever told you? Your smiling face is beautiful."

"This... many people have indeed said similar things..."

The chief clerk muttered.

"Look, don't you have the advantages other than swordsmanship."

"But! Can it be an advantage if you smile well?"

The Chief Executive argued urgently.

"Miss Okina, your smile is not just beautiful."

Qingdeng shook his head quietly.

"In addition to beauty, your smiling face also has a strange magic. I don't know what others think. Anyway, after seeing your smiling face, I will always be happy unconsciously."

"I think about it and see how to describe it...ah, yes! Infectious!"

"Miss Okina, your smile is particularly contagious! It can unconsciously drive other people's emotions to change in a positive direction, making sad people no longer so sad, and making happy people happier."

"You are like sunshine... wherever you are, you are warm."

"I've been moved by your smile countless times."

"Your smiling face and your lively and cheerfulness fascinated me."

"So... don't belittle yourself like that anymore, don't say 'person like me' again."

"I'm not so big that I like a useless guy who is useless except for face and swordsmanship."

"Be confident, Okina Headmaster... No! Okina has a charming charm that can make Kirikito dizzy!"

"I admit: the reason I want to marry so many girls is to satisfy my personal desires."

"But! Before my personal desire is satisfied, there is a first requirement that must be achieved, that is, all of you must be sincerely willing to marry me together!"

"I hope that after marrying me, you will be able to feel sincerely that it is very happy to be my wife together in the next few years, when you are about to die! "

"If this condition is not met... I would rather be alone for the rest of my life!"

"If you want to serve a husband with other women, it makes you feel wronged, just say it out loud, I won't mind."
