Throughout the entire gathering, Aoyama Xiu Xin did not refuse anyone who came to toast, and could sing loudly with his arm around anyone's shoulder, displaying no airs.
These gatherings were quite dull, as Aoyama Xiu Xin had organized and participated in so many, but he never showed any impatience, always greeting people with a smile.
Only after the gathering ended and he left the venue would he restrain his smile, showing an expression of irritation and letting out a weary sigh.
Today was no different.
In the early hours, pretending to be drunk, he was helped into the car by Kudaka Tarou, "Take it slow, Minister, watch your head."
After closing the car door, Kudaka Tarou stood at attention and saluted, watching the car leave before turning back.
"Phew—" Inside the car, Aoyama Xiu Xin loosened his somewhat tight tie, exhaled, rubbed his temples, and closed his eyes to rest, "Drive slowly, let me sleep for a while."
