Chapter 28 Expectations
Chapter 28 Expectations
The European-style buildings are surrounded by almost regular hedges, which are very solemn and solemn at first glance. The fountain standing in the center of the school is connected to a narrow and long water system, which runs along the building and almost runs through the entire campus, making people's eyes fixed on this beautiful landscape.

It was the time of class now, and there were a few students in school uniforms passing by them on campus, and they gave them an extra look out of curiosity.
Atobe brought him to the tennis court first. Tennis is a popular sport in the UK, and it is no exception in schools. Tennis courts on Red Earth can be seen in almost every school, but nobles like kngraryl Such a school will naturally be equipped with more advanced and excellent facilities.
Atobe led them into the tennis court, looked at Jia, folded his arms and asked, "I heard you like playing tennis?"
Jia nodded. Although he was interested in tennis at the beginning because of Yukimura, he discovered the fun of it little by little during the practice process.Atobe raised his eyebrows, and smiled confidently and dazzlingly: "If you have a chance, let's compete."
Atobe's smile has a natural arrogance, without any affectation. If it is more, it will be annoying, but if it is less, it will not have that kind of confidence.
He is indeed the kind of person who is born to attract attention, Jia thought in his heart, he did not refuse Atobe's invitation to play, although he knew very well that he had just learned the basics of tennis and was not Atobe's opponent, but there was always a feeling in his heart The urge to try, it should be a challenge to the strong in the human heart.
Akashi is very interested in tennis. They stayed in tennis for a while, and Atobe took them to other places. Along the way, Kashi held Akashi's hand, which surprised Akashi. Only Smith saw it. It was a pleasure to see how well they got along.
Unlike other members of the royal family who are widely known, Jia has rarely been in contact with the media since he was a child, so not many people know him in the UK, and this school is not the best noble school in the UK. The number of friends is close to zero, so basically you will not meet familiar people here.
Half a day later, during the tour of the campus, Ka also knew where their classroom was, but because he and Akashi were in the same class, even if he didn't know the way, he wouldn't get lost.
Near noon, Atobe's task was completed, and he was much taller than Ka, so he bent down and looked at Ka level: "Hey, the master will go to the party next week, remember to behave well. Today is the Here, there will be more opportunities to meet in the future.”
Jia bowed to him earnestly to express his gratitude. Looking at the tall and straight back of the other party when he left, Jia suddenly remembered that the queen's party was only a week away, to be precise, only five days.
Akashi glanced at Ka who lowered his head: "Don't worry, there will always be a way."
Smith also comforted him: "Xiao Wangdian only needs to go to the party for one night, and there is nothing else to do."
His words did not reassure Jia'an, but he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He never knew that he was burdened with so many expectations. In the past, he was never favored by others, because the members of the royal family were all excellent. , and Gagen has no way to compare with others, whether it is communication etiquette or other aspects.
After returning to the residence, Jia went into his room on his own. Smith Yuan knocked on the door but got no response, and when he was about to open the door, he found it was locked.
"Little Palace?"
He knocked on the door a few times but didn't get any response. Seeing his anxious expression, Akashi walked to the door and knocked on the door calmly a few times, but there was no sound as expected, and it was rare to be awkward.
Akashi stopped chuckling in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "Are you going to stay in there forever?"
He paused and continued:
"Didn't you come back to the UK to take on your responsibilities? If you want to escape now, it will only make others look down on you. Maybe you think it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, but have you ever thought about other things? The people on you? They don't force you to accomplish any task, but hope that you can show your best self, because they know that the people they trust are strong, so they are willing to put this expectation on you , but are you really going to live up to their expectations?"
Smith was shocked at Akashi's mild and slightly harsh tone at first, but Smith couldn't refute his words, and a few seconds after Akashi's voice fell, the closed door was also opened.Ka, who was standing in the room, glanced at Akashi, and Akashi smiled as if nothing happened: "Since you are in a bad mood, let's go horseback riding together in the afternoon."
Jia frowned, he thought that Akashi would say something to reprimand him, but he didn't expect that the other party just proposed to go to the racecourse.
Jia didn't have much interest in riding horses, but Ji knew how to do it.
The horse farm connected to the lawn in the suburbs looked very vast, and at a glance, it was completely green. After they changed into special clothes, they did not go to pick horses, but strolled on the lawn.
Akashi looked at Ka, who was not in a good mood beside him: "Actually, I'm very curious."
Ka looked at him puzzled, while Akashi stared into his blue eyes: "I knew you were not dumb last time, but I don't understand why you don't want to talk?"
He said "don't want" instead of "can't". Jia, who noticed this, didn't respond to him. Everyone has a secret of their own.And it's not because of others that he doesn't want to talk, but because of himself.
After wandering around for a while, they chose horses that suited them. There were not many people who came to the racecourse today, and a few of them were not of the same age as them.
Akashi's riding skills are surprisingly good, which is obviously beyond Ka's imagination, and the appearance of galloping in the suburbs is also quite handsome.The wind in winter is very cold, and the hot air exhaled instantly liquefies and turns white, but the feeling against the wind is unexpectedly good. The horse's speed is so fast that he can hardly hear other people's voices. He got better in an instant, maybe he just lacked a place to vent his emotions.
The noon time passed quickly, and Smith informed Jia at this time that he would have dinner with the queen tonight.
Jia, who was changing clothes in the locker room, heard people talking outside. They seemed to be unaware of the existence of a third person here, and they talked easily.
"Do you think this conferring ceremony will be cancelled?" One of them chuckled lightly, "Don't you think it's ridiculous to confer the title on a mute?"
Another person said: "I have to deny that there is a useless son in that hall, but I think the upcoming party will be very interesting, and the council will not allow a dumb person to accept such an honor."
They chatted for a while and then left, and when Akashi came in, Kashi came out of the dressing room, although he remained silent as before, Akashi could still keenly detect the strangeness in his expression.
After returning, Smith prepared formal clothes for Jia, and when he put on a suit, he looked completely different from his previous appearance in a sweater. Although Jia was relatively short, his straight back looked good.
"Xiao Wangdian is very handsome." Smith said sincerely, this time back from Japan, Jia really changed a lot.
Akashi looked at him with admiration, Jia thought that he was about to meet the queen, but his heart was a little complicated. There was both excitement that he hadn't seen in two years, and nervousness that he didn't know how to face.
There are countless outstanding talents in the royal family. They are strictly demanded every day, but there are not many people who can achieve beauty, and he does not belong to this category of beauty, so it is normal to be questioned by others .
Jia, who thought this way in his heart, sat in the car with his head down. In fact, he was not indifferent, but was afraid and inferior.
The palace at night was also extraordinarily gorgeous. When Jia entered the hall, the queen was already waiting inside. He stepped forward and made a deep curtsy before kissing the queen's hand.
The queen touched his soft golden hair tenderly, she said with a smile: "I haven't seen Anne for a long time, is it fun?"
Jia nodded, and the queen directly took his hand and sat down on the chair. She seemed to be wearing the necklace given by Jia specially today. The simple silver jewelry was embellished with a jade stone, but it made the queen's skin fairer.
The queen is actually not very old, she just turned 50 this year, but her body has not been very good since a few years ago, which is one of the reasons why Jia returned to the UK.Jia had lived in the palace for a short time, so he was not unfamiliar with it.Today's dinner has his favorite fruit salad, and he must maintain proper etiquette when eating, but he is already quite proficient in these.
After the dinner, the queen asked with a smile, "It should suit Anne's taste."
Ka nodded in agreement. After all, most of them were his favorite foods, and he could tell they were specially prepared.
"I don't think Carol has mentioned the speech to you, has he?" The queen picked up the coffee brought by the maid, and Ka also knew that the queen was also for the party before coming, and the queen continued, "Recently, people outside Running to the palace every day, talking nonsense."
Jia bowed his head, and he also knew that everyone was waiting to see the jokes about the royal family and the Hanover family.
"They think you can't do it because they are ignorant. They never knew how smart you are, but I have always had confidence in you, so Anne, can you understand?" The Queen's eyes were full of trust, and her smile was even brighter. Gentle, Jia remembered how she was when she first met her when she was a child.
Jia was sitting in the car returning, and Smith looked worriedly at the boy's silent expression with pursed lips from the rear mirror, but there were some things he could not interfere with.
Jia bowed his head and thought in his heart: Can I really do it?Will I really live up to everyone's expectations?
The noisy sound outside seemed to be blocked by the parking lot. He looked at the face reflected in the window and felt an indescribable feeling for a moment.
"I believe Anne will be able to do it."
These words seemed to be still echoing in his ears, and the queen's smile seemed as gentle as it was now.
Jia took a deep breath, he tried his best to get rid of all the depression, no matter what this time, just work hard.
The next day, Jia woke up very early. After all, today is the first day of school here, and there must be no such thing as being late.
The white shirt and gray suit jacket made his figure look extraordinarily straight. Jia, who had changed into his school uniform, bent his lips in front of the mirror. Going to school was a very happy thing for him.
When he was upstairs, Smith had already prepared breakfast, and the maids stood neatly in two rows, while Akashi was standing in front of Smith, with a faint smile in his crimson eyes: "Good morning, Ka .”
In fact, he is not used to this feeling of being noticed, but he must adapt, no matter what, he must maintain a beautiful etiquette in the eyes of everyone.In addition to responsibility, this is another kind of thing that belongs to a man's competitiveness, so no matter what, he must do his best.
He came from upstairs, his eyes curved into beautiful arcs, as if greeting silently.
Akashi was taken aback for a moment, and the shallow dimples on his fair and delicate cheeks became more obvious. In terms of appearance, Gagen was no match for anyone in the royal family. After all, he had inherited good genes, and what was left of him was only a hidden inferiority complex in his heart.
Confidence can make a person more beautiful, and he should continue to do so.
