Willow Springs: ???

I really don't know whether to be happy or worried......

Although it was very happy for the deputy chief to be so loyal and unyielding, she still couldn't recognize it when she came to the front of her, could it be because the lights were too dim tonight, or the powder on her face was too thick?!

She couldn't help but touch her cheek with her right hand, and sure enough, she touched a hand of powder.

Liu Quan: "......"

Even so, it shouldn't be to the level of a geisha! The deputy chief has seen her disguised as a geisha, so is it even more out of shape now than she was then?

She unconsciously stood up as well, turned to look at the back of the departing meteor with the deputy stride, and began to feel a little complicated in her heart.

…… The sweet old stalk that says yes, "If it's true love, no matter what you become, I'll recognize you"!

Liu Quan couldn't help but sigh, and just as he wanted to move his steps to catch up with the deputy chief first, he heard the uncle named "Yokosaka" behind him sigh loudly as well.

"I'm very sorry, Miss Izumi. He said.

Ryuzumi had to turn around again, only to find that Yokosaka had bowed nearly 90 degrees to her as an apology.

She had to bow down immediately and return the salute, cursing the damn etiquette of neon for delaying her time, and at the same time showing a reasonable and virtuous (?) look, and replied, "No, although I am surprised, Mr. Naito is also rightly concerned about his former wife...... I'm confused, but understandable......"

Yokosaka straightened up and said with a wry smile: "Miss Izumi is really an empathetic lady......"

Liu Quan was a little impatient to waste all his time here and socialize with him, and just as he wanted to find an excuse to chase him out after a few words, he heard Yokosaka sigh heavily.

"Naito-kun is a very reliable and good person. Although he became a judge at a very old age, he was able to do everything quickly and well, and he was a rare talent......

Perhaps in order to whitewash the scene a little for Hijikata's slightly rude early departure, Yokosaka talked about Hijikata himself.

This made Liu Quan, who was in a hurry to leave, pause again. She was still standing there, hesitating for a moment, and decided to listen to the synopsis (fog!) from the mouth of the NPC (?) of the plot narrator first - anyway, even if she couldn't catch up with the deputy chief tonight, as long as she caught this NPC uncle, she would be able to find the whereabouts of the deputy chief later.

So she raised her eyebrows slightly, and replied as if induced: "It is precisely because I heard that this is the case, I want to come and meet Mr. Naito no matter what...... However, I didn't expect that I would have a similar appearance with Mr. Naito's former wife—"

The wry smile on Yokosaka's face deepened a little. Perhaps this awkward atmosphere had reached its climax with the departure of Hijikata, and the situation could not have been worse, so he continued, with a little broken and broken, as if hoping that his frank attitude would win her understanding:

"Maybe it's rude to say that to you so bluntly until now...... However, since this is the case tonight, I also feel obligated to give you the necessary accountance. ”

He paused, as if choosing his words.

"Naito-kun, I can't forget the lady he used to be. He said.

"We've known this since we were colleagues from the beginning...... He refused everyone's kindness to arrange a blind date for him, and even resisted the pressure of those big people who knew him well to force him to arrange a blind date...... You may also understand that at his age and in such a position, it is now an age of civilization and enlightenment, and there are more and more social activities of all kinds, and it is very inconvenient to have no good wife to take care of other affairs, whether it is family affairs or external interpersonal communication......"

Liu Quan: "Oh......"

She replied ambiguously and waited for Yokosaka to continue.

Yokosaka really didn't live up to his duty as a "plot commentary NPC".

"We tried a lot to convince him, but to no avail...... Until one day, a colleague accidentally found that he was carrying a white copper cigarette case......"

Liu Quan: "...... Cigarette case?"

The deputy chief doesn't seem to be a smoker?!Why is it only a few years later, all kinds of bad vices have come out?!Smoking, rudeness, face blindness [Hey!

Yokosaka seemed to see her questioning expression and shook his head with a smile, rejecting her guess.

It is precisely because Naito-kun does not have this habit that he carries a cigarette case that attracts special attention...... Later, we found out that he was carrying the cigarette case because the design of the cigarette case was that after opening it, a small photo or portrait could be placed on the inside......"

Oh, Liu Quan seems to understand.

This is the origin of the phrase "they saw her portrait" just now.

"As you know, there are more and more painters studying Western painting, and Western painting is just about painting people like real people...... Naito-kun's cigarette case contains such a Western portrait. ”

Yokosaka smiled bitterly again, and then said in a tone of generosity (?):

"I guess that's what you guessed...... That's right, the person in that portrait is his former wife. ”

Liu Quan: "...... Oh. ”

Although she had already guessed this conclusion, she was so surprised that she could barely speak when she heard Yokosaka confirm this conjecture.

She doesn't remember any Western portraits she left behind. She also didn't know where the deputy chief had found the portrait. Maybe he just found a painter who was good at Western paintings, and then asked the other person to paint according to his description—why? Was it because he was worried that too long and old age would erase the most subtle parts of his mind about her?

Hearing her answer dryly, Yokosaka looked a little embarrassed and coughed before continuing: "...... Indeed, you look a lot like the lady, and I know it might be rude to say that, but—"

He stammered and spoke as if he were speechless, but this time before he could finish his sentence, he heard the abandoned young lady let out an incomprehensible chuckle.

“…… However, even with such a similar face, Mr. Naito refused without hesitation, didn't he? He heard Miss Izumi, who had always been very calm and reasonable, say this.

Yokosaka's forehead sweated instantly.

Although Miss Quan's tone was very calm, the content of this sentence was undoubtedly not so peaceful, and he felt thrilled after hearing it, and he didn't dare to speak out of the atmosphere, let alone speak without permission.

But Miss Izumi didn't have the seizure he had imagined.

Her gaze, which had drifted away as she listened to his narration, suddenly returned to his face, and after a pause, she smiled.

"I'm very satisfied with the blind date you arranged. He heard Miss Izumi utter something very shocking (?).

Yokosaka: ?!

God, is the world crazy?!

The colleague who has always been calm and reliable rudely left the other party's lady on a blind date, and left like that, and also made a lot of shocking remarks such as "I can't betray my wife", "Otherwise she will set foot on Shimahara", and this lady, who has always behaved demure and decent, also made more shocking remarks such as "I think tonight's blind date couldn't be better" after listening to the cause and effect-

So how will he report the results to his boss and the big people who care about the blind date when he returns?

Before he could figure it out, he saw Miss Quan, who had an elegant face, turn around and push away the chair, as if she was also planning to leave.

He exchanged glances with the middle-aged maid brought by Miss Izumi in shock, and before he could ask the standard "where are you going?" question, he heard her say aloud:

"I already know what you're saying. The rest of the matter can be left to me with peace of mind. Because I like this Mr. Naito so much, I'm going to marry him anyway - you can go back and tell everyone that. ”

Yokosaka:???

There is no doubt that the world must have gone mad.

Leaving Uncle Yokosaka, who had an indescribable expression, in the dining room, and ordered the middle-aged servant woman who came with her to wait for her in the dining room for the time being, and then Liu Quan quickly mobilized his pace to the limit, and a gust of wind (?) like small steps rushed out from behind the screen.

She rushed to the railing on the second floor and looked down—

Sure enough, there was no sign of the deputy chief in the hall on the first floor.

Liu Quan was so angry that he almost wanted to stomp his feet and kick the railing. The right foot was almost raised, and because this was a public occasion, he had to maintain his beautiful image of "although he was dropped by the blind date, but his face could not be lost", he reluctantly resisted the harmful impulse, and yelled at the system bacteria in his head:

[The location of Hijikata Suizo, send it to me right now!!]

The system bacteria Shi Shi came out.

[Dwarf oil, is you so angry that you even throw the honorific title of "Mr. Hijikata" or "Deputy Chief" to the back of your mind?]

Liu Quan: [...... For a negative man who has ruthlessly abandoned me here, my attitude is polite enough! Now, right away, I want to know where he has gone! I'm going to grab him right now and ask him about it! Why did you stare at me for a long time and come to the conclusion that "this person is not the one I know"!!Did I inadvertently redeem a Goryeo full-face plastic surgery package that I didn't know?!]

The system was silent for a moment.

【…… He didn't go far. As soon as I left the restaurant, I stood in the shadows outside the door for a while, looking angry and melancholy...... But now he seemed to have shaken off that emotion and began to walk away along the sidewalk. You go out and turn right, run a little faster, and you'll be able to catch up with him in no time. 】

Liu Quan: [...... Why do I always feel like there's something wrong?Hey, please report me my current points!]

The system bacteria sound a little impatient.

[There is no major change in your points, and we don't provide any so-called "Goryeo full-face plastic surgery package"! If you don't catch up, Hijikata Suisan will be out of sight - let me remind you, you are wearing a kimono now, and it is impossible to run in stride——]

Before the complaint of the system bacteria was over, Liu Quan rushed to the door on the first floor. The doorman looked at her menacing appearance as if he were startled, and as soon as he opened the door for her, she rushed out into the street.

Then, she looked resolutely to the right—in the twilight crowd, she seemed to see a figure in the distance, which was mostly obscured by other pedestrians, and only the back of the head appeared and disappeared in the sea of people, striding in that direction.

Liu Quan took a deep breath.

Now she is faced with two choices -

First, catch up, and directly use detailed and credible facts that only the two of them know, to convincingly show that she is the fake Kiyohara Yukiba, and he will no longer have to bear the title of an old widower-

Second, catch up, first pretend to be the "Miss Quan" who was chosen to be a blind date because she looks too much like his former wife, and ask why he was able to determine that she is not Kiyohara Yukiha himself just now;

With his head down, Liu Quan rushed up through the flow of people on the street. As she hurried forward, her choice had been made as her heart beat faster and faster as she approached behind him.

She gasped for breath, and suddenly braked a few steps behind Hijikata to stop, and after slowing down her rapid breath, she exclaimed, "...... Mr. Naito!"

The footsteps of the earthwork striding forward were stunned.

Liu Quan called again.

"Mr. Naito. ”

Hijikata seemed to finally be sure that someone was calling him behind him, hesitated for a moment, and turned around.

At this moment, between the two of them, almost in the middle of the position, there was a gas street lamp on the side of the road, shining brightly.

It's late spring, and even when twilight falls, there's still a warm smell in the air. The scent of decorative flowers and trees wafted from the streets, and the warm yellow glow cast by the gas lamps in the streets on the sidewalks between them.

December 11:

Ahahaha, my bad taste makes me can't stop writing!

At the moment you have two options, which is actually what I wrote at the end of this chapter

1. Solve this misunderstanding in one or two chapters, and recognize each other cleanly and directly after HE

2. Write about this misunderstanding of the old stalk, and let the girl tease the deputy chief's unreliable scanning radar again

Which one do you think is better?
