The end of the curtain

?August of the first year of Yuanzhi——

In the yard, clusters of light green flowers and leaves are crawling on the supports made of thin bamboos, and the blooming branches are full of wisterias.

It hangs down casually like a waterfall.

Gently swaying in the wind, the wisteria is smudged with touches of clear and light purple in the bright sunlight.

In the narrow courtyard, the petite figure of Qianhe was busy.The white belt tied up the wide sleeves to reveal the white and slender arms, and the small hands kept rubbing the white underwear, and raised them from time to time to wipe the fine sweat on the forehead.

so hot...

"Ah, that, Ms. Sakurai..." Hearing Isamu Kondo's voice coming from the ferry corridor not far away, Chizuru raised her face subconsciously and looked.

"Mr. Kondo, please don't be so polite."

"Oh, I forgot...Sakurai-kun...well, that guy, the chief executive, has been coughing a lot lately. I don't know why he hasn't recovered from the cold for so long. I just told him, I really want to ask Sakurai-kun to take a look. Look."

"Ah, no problem, this is what I should do..."

But for a long time, Qianzuru only saw Isamu Kondo and Sakurai coming from the side of the ferry corridor, and Kondo saw Qianzuru who was still squatting in the patio washing clothes, but smiled embarrassedly, and said hello: "I'm really sorry Ah Yukimura-kun, even though we are guests, I still ask you to do so many chores for us."

"It's okay, Mr. Kondo, and thank you very much for taking me in." Chizuru just smiled gently, and buried her head again to wash the vegetables seriously.Isamu Kondo just smiled a little embarrassedly, but he seemed to have something to go out, so he didn't do much to stay.

"Little Chizuru." Sakurai who didn't know when came to Qianzuru's side smiled slightly, then squatted down and picked up a piece of clothing soaked in the water, "Let me help you."

"Ah, thank you very much!" Chizuru's slightly immature face burst into a cute smile, very cute, with curved eyebrows, pure and harmless, but Sakurai was a little absent-minded for a moment.

...Xiaoxue...

"Xiaoxu, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Sakurai's appearance, Chizuru was a little puzzled, but more concerned about whether she was feeling unwell.

"...No, no..." Sakurai who came back to his senses just smiled and shook his head, paused, Sakurai suddenly remembered what was just about to speak, when Hirasuke's shout came from the other end: " Chizuru—"

"Huh?" Qianzuru wiped the sweat from her forehead, she saw Hirasuke coming down the corridor, and she also stood up, only to see that Hirasuke was carrying a burden on his shoulders, and was holding a bamboo hat in his hand. I want to go out, "Pingzhu-kun? Do you want to go out dressed like this?"

Sakurai Chaoheisuke greeted with a smile, then picked up a piece of clothes that had just been washed in a tub, turned and left.

There's still work to do...

"Ah, yes, our work has been recognized recently, and now Mr. Kondo and the others are starting to recruit more team members." Hirasuke pretended to smile meaningfully, and Chizuru naturally hesitated a bit: "That's great. ...Huh? Recruiting team members?"

"Yes, I'm going to Edo this time, and I'll help you find out about your father by the way, so I'm asking for the address now, please look forward to it."

"Really? Thank you so much Pingzhu-kun! Please wait a moment!" Qianhe laughed happily, turned around and ran to the room, suddenly remembered that he seemed to have left Xiaoxu behind, but turned around and disappeared Without thinking about it, Qianzu went back to the room and wrote down the address, and then handed it to Hirasuke, "This is the address. After Hirasuke-kun gets there, everyone should know about Lan Fangyi Xuecun Gangdao, please. have a safe journey!"

Hirasuke raised his hand high.

****************

——cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough...

Sakurai had just brought a bowl of warm medicine to the chief executive's room, knocked lightly on the door with one hand, but no one spoke, what responded to her was the suppressed cough that she heard long ago .

Cough again...cough, from now on, it will be four years, until finally he...

"Ah, who is it~" The habitually rising ending sound carried a fox-like charm, and for a while, Sakurai suddenly felt that he hadn't heard this tone for a long time.Until the sliding door was pulled open from inside with a "wow", and the tall brown figure of the chief executive suddenly bumped into his sight.

"Ah, Xiaoxu~" Taking advantage of his height, the chief raised his eyebrows condescendingly and looked at the girl who was a head shorter than him. When he saw the medicine bowl in her hand, his expression was a bit unnatural.

——Why is it such a bitter thing, good, difficult, and drinkable.

"Mr. Kondo, please come here. Please drink the medicine, Mr. Okita." Sakurai told the director accurately with a straight face, and moved out Mr. Kondo as soon as he came up. This matter is not negotiable.You have to drink this medicine whether you want to drink it or not.

"..." The chief was very depressed, and he raised his eyebrows and stared at the dark brown liquid in the bowl that was steaming with white mist. When he smelled the bitter smell in the air through his nose, he always felt sick to his stomach.

"Mr. Okita, please drink the medicine." Sakurai ignored his expression and repeated it again in an emotionless voice dutifully.

I'm not Qianhe, and I'm not easy to soften my heart. Of course, it's up to you whether to drink or not. I just want to see if you want to drink or not.From now on, I will send it over every day, until you are willing to drink it obediently.

silence... silence...

Just when Sakurai was about to turn around and leave the reheated medicine that was about to cool down, the chief executive suddenly showed a meaningful smile, but in the face of "experienced in many battles, suffering beyond words" Sakurai looked extremely dangerous.

Although there was a bit of reluctance in inner conditioning, the chief executive quickly reached out and took the medicine bowl in Sakurai's hand. Sakurai looked at him in a daze, so he didn't understand, so he smiled slyly: "It's conditional." ~"

The emerald green eyes narrowed slightly because of malicious intentions, radiant and charming.

"Hey?" A certain girl took the bait stupidly, and she didn't realize what was going on.That is - the legendary "being sold and counting the money for others".

Before Sakurai could react, the chief took the medicine bowl, and although he could not help frowning when he smelled the medicine, he closed his eyes and poured it all into his mouth.

Well, it's so bitter... But, the goal has been achieved, so I don't need to drink it next time.

The chief executive thought badly in his heart, put the bowl back into Sakurai's hand, and walked past her, with the same cunning involuntarily appearing on his face, and his voice was really very soft: "Ah, my condition That is, next time I won’t drink any medicine~”

"Hey?!" A certain person finally came to his senses, his eyes widened suddenly and he turned around to look at the back of the chief executive leaving, distressed and depressed at the same time, "Wait a minute..."

"Ahhh, it's my turn to prepare meals today~" The general manager completely ignored Sakurai's frustrating and angry jumping feet, talking about his next itinerary as if no one else was around, and he smiled leisurely. .

So, the chief executive is a cunning fox as always...

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Sakurai squatted down in the yard to watch the fire, because boiling medicine is a very boring thing, so she raised her head from time to time to look at Chizuru, who was squatting not far away, washing kelp, and looked at Chizuru seriously. Sakurai couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Doing chores in the village all day long, Xiao Qianhe must be ready to be a good wife and mother.

Of course, if she hadn't restrained herself from blurting out the words at that time, Xiao Qianhe's face would have turned as red as the apples that are abundant in Osaka...

I really want to see it... (＠(￣-￣)＠Hello...)

Gentle footsteps came from the corridor, but Sakurai quickly heard the slight footsteps, subconsciously raised his head and looked back.At the other end, the man with dark purple long hair pinned to his chest walked over expressionlessly. At this time, Qianzuru finally saw him coming, so Qisheng said hello: "Mr. Saito?"

"Mr. Saito." Sakurai stood up and nodded slightly, and Saito just turned his head to look at them, and also nodded slightly in response: "Ah..." But when he saw the kelp that Qianzuru was washing , He seemed to have thought of something, he hesitated to speak, but finally did not say it, and left first.

What is it?Sakurai continued to squat down to watch the fire. Although Chizuru didn't know why, she didn't ask any questions and continued to wash her kelp.

So, at the dinner time of the Shinsengumi that day, when everyone just swallowed the kelp kimchi, Sanosuke Harada's unhesitating voice of disdain came out first: "Wow, it's so spicy, it's too intense, it must be made by the chief executive .”

"What do you mean?" The director's dissatisfied voice sounded, and then he took a bite of the dish as a demonstration and ate it without changing his face, "I remember that I put the right amount of soy sauce after cooking, I don't think it's difficult eat."

Little Chizuru still didn't know why, so he looked up again at Hijikata and Saito, who hadn't made any statement yet. He couldn't help but admire Mr. Hijikata and Saito's super concentration.

Then, Saito-kun, who had been paralyzed all the time, finally stood up, and said with a blank expression: "Too much salt intake is not good for your health, I'll go wash it with water." Saito said so directly walked out.

"I'll go too." Harada followed Saito out just now, and Hijikata followed without saying a word.Little Qianhe still didn't quite understand what was going on, the chief seemed a little upset, and walked out, leaving only little Qianhe looking left and right.

Is it really that bad?

—————————————————————

As soon as Sakurai took a bite, she spit it out without hesitation. Then she went to the kitchen, complaining in her heart which cook had such a "heavy taste", while rewashing the dishes.

Then Saito, Harada, and Hijikata all walked in one after another. They all looked at each other to hide their inner wailing, and they all cooked dishes together in a tacit understanding.

"Xiao Xu?" Seeing them finish cooking and then disappearing one after another, the director cast his questioning eyes on Sakurai, and his handsome eyebrows slightly raised.

"It's so unpalatable." A certain person was even more direct.
