Chapter 1679

At Kyoto City, which was hundreds of kilometers away from Tokyo.

The huge Ito family mansion with a century-old history was located in the center of Kyoto City.

The Ito family mansion was located next to the Azuchi Castle, which was the residence of Oda Nobunaga, one of the three great unifiers during the Sengoku period in Japan. Although the surface area of the Ito family mansion was slightly smaller compared to the Azuchi Castle, the overall surface area was already much larger compared to the largest standalone family villa in Eastcliff.

There was a moat that had been excavated during the war surrounding the mansion, and it bore the heavy responsibility of guarding the mansion.

Three hundred and sixty degrees surveillance cameras were installed on the walls to capture all the blind spots and ensure that no one would be able to trespass and enter the mansion without any permission.

Many bodyguards were armed with live ammunition behind the towering mansion walls.

The buildings in the mansion were all typical Japanese-style wooden buildings. Each building had at least a hundred years long history. There were dozens of ancient trees with a hundred years of history in the courtyard. Coupled with the mottled stone sculptures that had a history of hundreds of years, the entire place had an antique feel to it, and it was full of charm.

At this time, a young and beautiful woman was sitting in the large courtyard alone in a wheelchair. She was looking up at the hazy sky. This young and beautiful woman was the eldest young lady of the Ito family, Nanako.

She was waiting for the first snowfall in Kyoto for the year.

In the past, the snow in Kyoto would always come earlier, but this winter was an exception.

Although the winter this year was very cold and even though every day was piercingly cold and chilly, there was no snowfall at all.

Earlier today, the Kinki Regional Meteorological Department had issued a heavy snow warning stating that there would be heavy snowfall in Kyoto tonight. Nanako loved snow the most, so she went out to the courtyard earlier to wait for the snowfall.

However, even though she waited until late at night, it did not seem as though it would be snowing heavily tonight at all. The sky was very dark and hazy—there was no starlight, and there was no moonlight either.

The butler of the Ito family mansion looked at Nanako from a distance for a long time. When he saw that it was already late at night, he walked over to her and said respectfully, “Miss, it is already late. It seems as though it will not be snowing tonight. The weather is very cold, so you should go back to your room earlier to rest first.”

Nanako looked at the dimly-lit moon in the sky as she whispered, “Since the weather forecast already mentioned it, there is still some hope. Watanabe-san, you can go back and rest first. You can just leave me alone.”

The butler sighed slightly, and he felt a little distressed as he said, “Miss, why don’t you go back and rest first? I will arrange for one of the servants to wait here. I will get that servant to notify you as soon as it starts snowing.”

Nanako smiled slightly as she said, “The reason why I am keeping watch here is because I want to see the first snowflake falling from the sky. I want to feel the first snowflake on my face. If I wait for it to start snowing before I come out, I will definitely miss out on this fun.”

The butler hurriedly said, “But it is getting cooler now, and the temperature is still getting lower and lower. You will catch a cold if you stay outdoors for a long time.”

“It’s okay.” Nanako smiled as she said, “I will wait until midnight. After that, no matter whether it is already snowing or not, I will go back to my room to soak in the hot spring. Watanabe-san, you don’t need to worry, and you can rest assured. Even though I am injured now, I still have a relatively strong physical fitness level. The cold temperature will not affect me at all.”

The butler nodded helplessly as he said respectfully, “I will be nearby. Miss, just call for me if you need anything at all.”

Nanako chuckled softly before she said, “Okay, Watanabe-san. Thank you!”

The butler carefully retreated to the distance. At this time, Nanako continued looking up at the sky.

Somehow, it seemed as though Charlie’s figure had suddenly appeared in the cloudy and hazy night sky.

She suddenly had a very warm and pleasant feeling deep in her heart as she thought to herself, ‘Charlie-kun, is it already snowing in Aurous Hill? I wonder if you are also looking up at the night sky above you now? I wonder if you’ve thought of me?’
