As she said this, she continued to ask casually, as if she were wandering somewhere else, thinking about something more important

"Mr. Hijikata, do you remember the haiku I left you when we parted?"

Although he seemed a little surprised by the instantaneous switch of topics, the deputy chief paused, nodded anyway, and answered her properly.

"Yes. ”

At that moment, an indescribable strange light passed through her eyes. As if surprised, as if she was emotional, she just looked straight at him, and showed a smile as if she was about to cry.

"Really," she murmured.

"So in the end, you still found me."

Hijikata seemed a little unsure of how to respond to this reaction, and he hesitated, just taking her blunt gaze to the point of burning, waiting for her next reaction.

As a result, as before, her next reaction was completely unexpected.

She seemed to suppress the almost pitiful expression on her face with all her might, and in order to hide the momentary outpouring of her untimely feelings, she quickly unfolded a mischievous and narrow smile.

"The world is crowded, the cherry blossoms are silently fleeting, and it is only a moment, what a good haiku"

Hijikata was silent for a moment.

"You're lying. He replied unexpectedly.

Liu Quan's eyebrows suddenly raised. "Oh"

Hijikata's face already showed a look of helplessness.

"Is this funny to tease me like this? He sighed.

Liu Quan pursed his lips and burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry," she smiled and winked at him, "it's just that it's really fun to play tricks on Mr. Hijikata, and I can't help but do it again and again, just like before." ”

Ah, listen, what the hell is that? In the end, do you still have a little respect for your former commander?

Hijikata smiled wryly.

"Stop playing tricks on me. He sighed again, his voice becoming a little deeper.

"It's not easy to meet like this and get along well, isn't it? ”

The deputy chief sounded a little helpless. However, the smile on Liu Quan's face grew bigger and bigger because of this.

"Actually, I'm not playing tricks on you," she said in a brisk tone.

"Have you forgotten, I really left you a haiku, because Mr. Hijikata's favorite thing is haiku. ”

She paused, then added.

"Ah, and Mr. Kondo, of course"

The wry smile on the deputy chief's face was almost concretized.

"What nonsense, you"

Liu Quan wrinkled his nose slightly.

"Hmph, I don't care. She complained in a coquettish tone, "Mr. Hijikata must have forgotten me and the haiku I left behind."

Deputy Chief""

Liu Quan still didn't seem to want to let him go, and made persistent efforts to add two more sentences.

"That's a haiku you wrote yourself, I memorized it well, I thought you'd like me if you did that."

Deputy Chief""

The deputy chief seemed to be a little speechless by her for a while, and after a pause, a faint red suddenly appeared on his face.

"Even if you don't, I'll like you. He lowered his voice and muttered.

Willow Springs

Her eyes widened for a moment. After a moment, she suddenly smiled wistfully and took a step back, staring at him in front of her with burning eyes.

"Deputy Chief, you're lying, too. ”

Hijikata "No. ”

The deputy chief denied it quickly, and this reaction made a trace of an inexplicable smile suddenly appear on Liu Quan's face.

However, the smile soon faded, and she pursed her lips slightly, as if she had suddenly drilled the tip of a bull's horn, and she must use this to confirm his feelings for her, otherwise it would not be enough to soothe such a long remembrance and melancholy.

"Then tell me what that haiku I left you is. She snorted.

After making this willful request, it was as if she had pulled the plug in her heart and released many things that had been suppressed in her heart and dared not think about it, and superfluous words leaked out one after another.

"You know, I like you so much, what kind of mood did I have to leave that haiku?"

Her lips pursed together as if they were pursed higher, as if she was trying to endure the shock of emotions in her chest and the fluctuations in her heart.

"Mr. Hijikata is an idiot and doesn't know anything about it," she blurted out.

When she had said this, she closed her mouth as if she were stunned, and seemed to be on the verge of biting her tongue, as if she was surprised that she had said such a willful thing.

The deputy chief sighed helplessly.

There seemed to be a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Do you have to say it? ”

Liu Quan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, she seemed to feel that it was very rare to be able to force the deputy chief's truth to be asked in such a hurry, so she took a deep breath, plucked up her courage, and deliberately said in a gambling attitude, "Yes, I will no longer pay attention to Mr. Hijikata."

Deputy Chief""

He seemed to have been completely speechless by her willfulness and endless demands, just as he had been before.

Perhaps because he wasn't sure how to pass the test this time, the deputy chief hesitated for a moment, and quietly peeked at the look on her face suspiciously.

Liu Quan coughed, deliberately turned his face to the other side, and his whole body bloomed with an aura like "That's right, I'm so willful, so if you don't answer my question well today, I will never let you go like this."

As if he had also received this signal from her, the deputy chief sighed helplessly.

"Okay. He whispered, as if for a moment he had finally made up his mind.

"Come here. ”

Liu Quan's face showed a look of doubt, but he obediently leaned over as he said.

Then, the next moment, the deputy chief suddenly hugged her shoulder, put his lips close to her ear, and whispered a few words.

Willow Springs

Her eyes widened for a moment, and then she slowly lowered her long eyelashes, and laughed softly with a hint of surprise, exclamation, and emotion.

"Hehehehe, remember this," she said softly, with a hint of emotion in her tone.

The deputy chief seemed to quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

"yes. The corners of his lips, which had been tense, slowly relaxed, and even a faint smile appeared.

Liu Quan raised his gaze slightly, looked at him, and shouted in a low voice, "Mr. Hijikata"

She called the name gently, as if full of nostalgia and feelings came to her heart at this moment. Her expression softened, her eyes flickered slightly, and she became firm again.

The next moment, I only heard a bang

Sharp blades sliced through the air and stabbed flesh.

The deputy chief let out a painful cry of "uh", and his pupils instantly widened uncontrollably, as if he was about to retreat in disbelief.

However, Liu Quan gently clasped his upper arm firmly with his left hand, and in his right hand, which was still hanging down at his side, he held a short knife, and the hilt of the knife pierced deep into the abdomen of the deputy chief.

The deputy coughed twice and bent down in pain, blood foaming down his throat.

"Yukiba、Why do you do such a thing?"

Liu Quan gently bent his eyebrows and smiled at him.

"Because I have to kill you to move on. She said with a smile in a gentle, cruel tone.

"Do you think I'm going to say such heartless and senseless lines? ”

As the next sentence came out, the smile on her face slowly froze, and her voice became cold.

"The reason is simple. ”

"Because you're a fake"
