The end of the curtain

?Qiu Feng dances with the wind ecstatically, and indulges in its all-powerful dancing posture, taking the soul away.

Maybe no one can understand why it works so hard in this sad autumn, but what it does is just the ravings of the last period of life before the cold winter comes.

Recognized effort is not required, just having struggled is enough.

"Ah, Hajime, who has always been serious about his work, actually has such a leisurely time. I think it's too much to refuse to let Mr. Dodo, who is going to patrol the streets." The chief executive stood up with a smile, and was about to leave as if nothing had happened. The brown coat on his shoulders slipped off his shoulders.

It looks a bit lazy like a fox that just woke up, but in fact it doesn't care about such details at all.If it can be just right, then there is another time to pay attention to other things, isn't it?

Just now, he bent his lips and grabbed the coat indifferently, but the chief executive glanced over and ignored the almost cold bowl of medicine, and was about to turn around and leave.But at that moment, he was overwhelmed by the pain from his lungs, propped his hand on the side of the pillar, covered his mouth and coughed violently.

Saito just frowned slightly imperceptibly, and didn't step forward.The wind blew past and lifted his dark purple hair, and his expression had always been indifferent like indifference.

It's like a bottomless pool of water in a deep valley, without sadness or joy.

"Boss, you shouldn't have said that." Saito's quiet voice sounded, and the expression on his face didn't change in any way.

Is that right, even Hajime thinks so...

The chief executive imperceptibly wiped away the bright red traces of the pale yellow calloused palm, and the faint smile in his slightly squinted dark green eyes: "When did Ah Yi become so wordy?" , this is not like your style."

"She has been working very hard, although she understands the final result. But if you don't try, you will never have a chance." After Saito finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, leaving only the chief executive's black back blending into the crimson In maple color.

——Does that count as giving up?Or ludicrously struggling?

—————————————————————

In the next few days, everyone hardly saw Sakurai. According to someone close to her, "Xiao Xu rarely shows up recently. Except for the clinic and the kitchen, I haven't even seen the dining room where I eat." pass her."

So everyone chattered and made various guesses. Only the good man Harada slapped Heisuke on the head and laughed: "Girls sometimes think things that men like us can understand and solve." Yes, it will be fine when she figured it out by herself."

Besides, everyone can see Qianhe running after the chief executive with soup and medicine every day.The general manager sat leisurely in the yard basking in the sun, looking very contented and lazy.Qianzuru's amber eyes shone brightly, and she said gently, "Mr. Okita, this is today's medicine."

The general manager either pretended to see the beautiful scenery in the courtyard and ignored Chizuru directly, or he repeatedly shied away or teased little Qianzu leisurely, changing the topic naturally.

Facing the director's playful teasing, Qianhe realized how hard Xiaoxu usually dealt with, but gritted her teeth, she still had to complete the things Xiaoxu told her.

Not only because of Xiaoxu's entrustment, but also because of worry about Mr. Okita, a childish man.Mr. Okita's tuberculosis disease made both of them physically and mentally exhausted. She thought she hoped that she could share more or less.

"Mr. Okita, please don't do this, you will get better soon after drinking the medicine." Different from Sakurai's tough attitude that almost wants to drink it down, Qianzuru persuaded him gently.

The chief executive, who was lazily lying on the corridor and breathing soundly, simply turned over, leaving Qianzuru with a broad back.

"..."

"Mr. Okita, please drink the medicine. This medicine has been decocted for a long time." The implication is that the required prescription and preparation are hard-won.

The general manager just smiled slyly, and said: "Little Qianzuru is as nagging as Mr. Hijikata. Sure enough, after staying with Mr. Hijikata for a long time, he will become as bad as him." The implication is that Mr. Hijikata You are so cunning that you attacked Little Qianhe so quickly.

——You are the one who is fundamentally bad, okay? ! !Don't turn right and wrong! ! !

"..." The fair cheeks were hot for a while, Xiao Qianhe just denied it in a panic, and couldn't help but feel a little stuffy when he came back to his senses.

So every time, at the end of the day, when little Qianhe looked like he was about to cry, the chief executive would drink the medicine with a smile, and then go on what to do.

……

Some time ago, Xiao Qianhe seemed to be in a depressed mood, but after going out with Qian Ji and everyone in the Shinsengumi, her mood gradually turned around.

Chizuru got up early in the morning to make breakfast for everyone, and then went to ask Hirasuke, who was lying on the bed, to get up and eat.

Running up and down, working quickly with his hands, the wooden corridor made a "dong dong dong" sound due to frequent walking.

He looked very energetic, and in less than one morning, Qianhe had wiped the entire promenade clean and spotless, glowing with the warm light golden color of the sun.

"Okay." Qianhe finally finished all the chores, seeing the clean floor she wiped felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart, she couldn't help smiling, and then stretched out her hand to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead.

If we can create a good environment as much as possible, everyone can work more easily.

"Is it okay?" A joking voice suddenly came from the stairs beside him, and Qianhe was startled unexpectedly.

Looking up, it turned out that the chief executive with disheveled hair was sitting there.At this time, his collar was a little wider than usual, and a white towel was hung around his neck, and his dark brown hair was drooping wet.

"Hey~?! Mr. Okita? Why did you come out dressed like this?" Chizuru looked at the complacent director in surprise, and was very puzzled.

The chief executive hooked the corners of his lips habitually, turned his face away indifferently, and said, "I was sweating a lot while I was sleeping, so I went to take a bath and come over to bask in the sun."

"But even if you do it in the sun, you will catch a cold!" Qianzuru said worriedly, but the chief executive casually stretched out his hand to tie his hair into a usual bun. Qianzuru saw that it was useless to talk, so he walked quickly He grabbed the towel on the chief's shoulders, shook the towel and spread it out, and directly wiped the chief's hair with his hands.

——In this case, Xiaoxu will be very worried and work harder if he catches a cold!

"Qianzu-chan is really tough..." The boss let Qianzuru wipe his hair, Qianzu just firmly insisted on his point of view, but he didn't wipe it a few times before being whipped by the boss Towel stood up.

"Okay, it's almost done." As he said that, he quickly tied up his hair with a headband very skillfully. Just as Qianhe was about to say something, the chief executive narrowed his dark green fox eyes. "Chizuru-chan is exactly the same as Mr. Hijikata. He always likes to care about people inexplicably."

"Huh?" Qianhe heard that her cheeks were once again stained with a layer of light pink like cherry blossoms, and she gradually felt embarrassed...

——Do I look like Hijikata-san... This is really...

---------------

Just after dinner time, Qianhe volunteered to pack all the bowls and chopsticks in a wooden basin, and then took them to the yard outside the kitchen for washing.

Sakurai took a kitchen knife and casually cut the cabbage stacked in his hand into thin strips one by one. This is to make cabbage porridge tomorrow morning.Cheap and delicious, even in the salaried Shinsengumi you have to learn to live on a budget.

Although the black eyes were looking at the kitchen knife in his hand reflecting the orange candlelight, but there was no focal length to appear listless, and the cabbage was cut from the thin strips at the beginning to scattered and irregular.

The hand pressing the cabbage was already wet, but now I don’t know what to think, so I don’t know if it’s a slip of the hand or a slip of the knife, the sharp blade directly cut off the middle finger——

"Ah!" The pain from her finger made her conditioned reflexively let out a soft cry, and at the same time she quickly withdrew her hand, regaining her senses, she looked at the bleeding finger expressionlessly, and was about to find something to wipe it off as if nothing had happened. That's it.

"Xiaoxu, what's the matter with you..." Qianhe outside the door seemed to have heard the soft cry, and seemed to be about to get up and run in to have a look, but Sakurai just smiled and said "I'm fine", Chizuru walked in hastily.

When Sakurai saw Qianzuru put down the rag and walked in, he subconsciously hid his hands behind his back. After all, his eyes were faster than his hands, and Qianzuru saw traces of blood on Sakurai's fingers at a glance.

"Did you accidentally cut it?" Qianzuru took her hand and asked softly, then looked at the kitchen knife on the cutting board, "Leave the next thing to me, you go to Mr. Take some medicine to stop the bleeding."

Sakurai looked at his finger that didn't bleed much, and then turned his gaze to Qianzuru who had already begun to cut vegetables with "tuk-tuk-tuk" with a little dejection, and said with a wry smile: "Little Chizuru, don't make such a fuss. , it’s not like stabbing him in the stomach.”

"But if you continue to cut vegetables, if the wound becomes inflamed, it won't be good." Qianhe just paused the movement of his hands, smiled and continued to cut, "Hurry up and deal with it, Xiaoxu is the same as Mr. Okita It's always so worrying..."

--yes……

Seeing this, Sakurai stopped talking and left the kitchen silently. Although Chizuru said that he was going to the medical office, Sakurai went in the opposite direction by some coincidence.
