Xi Deng turned sideways, and then turned around, except for the eye circles, which were still a little red, and there was no abnormality.

Suzuki put away the handkerchief, and they all didn't mention the topic just now, "Qiandao, Aoki Shin has prepared a kimono for me, I'll change it for you, you can help me see if it's good." ”

Xi Deng nodded.

Suzuki, who changed into a new kimono, was even more dazzling than ever, smiling and dancing in front of the window, the sun slanting in through the rotten cherry blossoms and falling on Suzuki's hair and clothes. Xi Lamp knelt on the ground and played shakuhachi to Suzuki's accompaniment. He looked at the person in front of him tenderly, and the blowing tune flowed out of the window.

Suzuki turned, his gaze resting on Xi Lamp's face.

It would be nice if time could stop now.

He and Qiandao depended on each other and grew up together, but fate now wants to separate them, from a whole into different individuals.

Learning to dance was originally intended to show Qiandao, but he has always danced for others.

***

Xi Deng didn't expect him to see Morikawa again.

When he sent something into the room, he accidentally bumped into Morikawa's sight.

When Morikawa saw him, he smiled slightly.

At this time, someone next to him spoke, "Aoki, I've always thought it was strange, Qiandao is also good-looking, why didn't you train him as a geisha?" ”

Suzuki poured the wine, and the guide spilled the wine on the table, but fortunately it didn't spill much, and he quickly took a handkerchief and wiped it off.

Aoki smiled: "I have so many geisha here, you still think about Qiandao, isn't it a bit too much?" ”

Matsudaira immediately said, "Yes, Xiao Qianjima's body is too hard for dancing." ”

The man said, "Do you want him to jump a bit?" ”

Suzuki smiled at the man: "Tsuruda-kun, Mayu will give you a dance." ”

The man known as Tsuruta waved his hand, "No, I'll just watch the Thousand Island Jump." ”

Morikawa put down the wine glass and looked at Tsuruda, "Tsuruda-kun, Qiandao-kun is a person who wants to be a samurai, it's a little difficult for you to let him dance, why don't I give you a performance?" ”

Tsuruta immediately said, "Morikawa-kun said it was funny, haha." ”

Xi Deng was just helping someone to send something, but he didn't expect to attract attention to himself, he glanced at Morikawa gratefully, and then at Suzuki's side, and quickly retreated.

When Morikawa left Aoki's house, he noticed a dark shadow in front of him.

He thought for a moment, then walked up.

The dark shadow heard the footsteps and turned around, it was Xi Lamp.

Xi Deng considered the next sentence, but in the end he just said, "Thank you Morikawa-kun for today's matter." ”

"It's okay, it's just a matter of help."

"But tomorrow Ka-san has been waiting for Morikawa-kun for the past two days."

When Morikawa heard this, he smiled lightly, and under the moonlight, his smile was shallow, making people only think that he was a gentleman with noble behavior.

"Qiandao-kun misunderstood, Tomorrow Xiang-san returned the things I gave her, and said that she didn't want me to go to her in the future, because she already has a lover."

When he said this, he kept smiling, "Because I didn't want to cause her distress, I came to Aoki's house, hoping that her lover would not misunderstand, it turns out that I also caused distress to Qiandao-kun?" ”

Xi Deng's words were stopped, and the roots of his ears were red, "I offended." ”

It's a bit embarrassing to say that you were dumped.

Morikawa shook his head, "No, it's what I should explain, in fact, someone has also asked me in the past two days, I don't want to destroy the reputation of Asuka-san, but Qiandao-kun knows that it should be fine, but I still hope that Qiandao-kun will keep it a secret for me." ”

Xi Deng lowered his head.

Morikawa smiled again, "Then I'll leave, Qiandao-kun, goodbye." ”

When Xi Deng went back, he was stopped by Aoki.

Aoki's expression was uncertain, and his tone was the same as before, "Qiandao, I'll come to my room later." ”

Xi Lamp answered.

Matsudaira walked out of the room thumping his neck, "I'm so tired." He glanced at the lamp standing downstairs and shouted, "Little Qiandao, help me get a massage." ”

Suzuki followed him out, and when he heard this, his eyes widened, "Qiandao is a person who wants to be a samurai, and you won't beat it yourself?" ”

Matsudaira glanced at Suzuki with a smile, "That little Suzuki is not a samurai, and I have taught you anyway, why don't you come and help me beat it for a while?" ”

Aoki glanced at the two people, and his tone was slightly displeased, "You like to talk so much, why don't you sing a few more songs tonight." ”

Matsudaira immediately groaned and groaned as he groaned and went back to his room.

Suzuki didn't move, he looked at the mat lamp who was standing straighter than a tree, and then at Aoki, "Aoki-kun, can I go to sleep with Chishima?" ”

"You can go to sleep alone, I'll have something to do with him."

Xi Deng looked up at Suzuki and smiled slightly, "Suzuki will sleep first." ”

Suzuki hesitated, and had to go back to the room first.

Xi Deng followed Aoki back to his room.

Aoki asked Xi Deng to close the door, and said, "You also saw Tsuruda-kun's attitude today, he asked me for you in private, but I refused." He turned to look at Xi Deng, "You are special, but this is especially a sin here. ”

Xi Deng was silent.

"You can't be a samurai, no one will hire a Gion person to work for you, I think you have known it for a long time, although you want to be a samurai, but you have always been a miscellaneous store." Aoki paused, "Qiandao, if you want, I can hand over this shop to you in the future, and I won't have children anyway." ”

Xi Deng raised his head suddenly, and Aoki approached him, bending down, "But you have to be obedient." ”

Obedient?

What do you mean?

Xi Deng looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

Aoki hooked his lips and smiled slightly, "You go out, it's late at night, rest early." ”

Xi Deng left Aoki's room, still thinking about what Aoki said.

Suzuki had been peeking at his door, and when he saw Xi Lamp coming out, he immediately pushed the door open and waved to Seat Lamp.

Xi Deng saw it, and walked over lightly.

Suzuki dragged the man into his room, "Aoki didn't do anything to you, did he?" ”

"Huh?"

Suzuki frowned, he turned his head to look at the door, then twisted back and lowered his voice, "I heard others say that Aoki is not a noble person, he will secretly call someone to his room at night, and then force ...... No, there will be people who willing, but regardless of this, did he say anything weird to you? ”

Xi Deng thought of what Aoki had just said, hesitated, and still chose to shake his head.

Seeing this, Suzuki seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "It's okay, it scared me to death." After he finished speaking, he pushed the lamp, "You're so annoying today, why do you attract the attention of that colored/colored Tsuruda!" ”

Xi Deng was slightly stunned, "It's not ......"

Suzuki interrupted him rudely, he raised the corner of his eye, and looked at Xi Deng, "I know you didn't mean to, but ......" He jerked close to Xi Deng's face, his eyes couldn't stop looking at the other person.

Xi Deng's body leaned back, and he was hugged by Suzuki. Suzuki hung on Xi Deng's body like a puppy, "Where are such ordinary facial features attractive?" Although he said something unpleasant, he said it in an almost coquettish tone.

"Hmm."

"Only I think Qiandao looks okay, they will say in private, Qiandao is not good-looking."

Xi Deng smiled.

Suzuki looked up at Xi Deng and smiled sweetly, "Then am I the best looking in the eyes of Qiandao?" ”

Xi Deng nodded.

Suzuki shook his head, "When others say that what they say with their mouths is a lie, the truth is hidden in their hearts." ”

"That Suzuki is the ugliest in my eyes."

The usually gentle teenager spoke venomously, which caught Suzuki off guard. He looked at the person in front of him in astonishment, but the other person just looked back at him with a smile on his face.

Suzuki said half-annoyed and half-ashamed: "Qiandao is not my friend anymore." ”

Xi Deng suddenly held Suzuki's hand and said, "No, we will be friends for life, best friends." ”

Once because of jealousy, I led to tragedy, so if I wasn't jealous, wouldn't it be much better to be willing to be friends?

Suzuki quietly looked at the hand shaking with Xi Deng, and after a while, he lowered his eyes, "Why are you suddenly so serious, of course we will be friends for life, and nothing will separate us." ”

***

Someone in Gion has been ransomed, and that's usually a big deal, let alone Asuka, a strong competitor for Oiran.

Gion exploded all at once.

Even Suzuki couldn't help but say, "Why did you suddenly redeem yourself?" It's going to be the Oiran selection soon. ”

Matsudaira smiled: "Someone redeems himself, what is the point of this Oiran hat or not?" ”

Another geisha said, "Yes, it's a pity that men like us are different, and no one will redeem us." He glanced at Suzuki, who was getting better day by day, and his lips pulled slightly, "Of course Suzuki is different, Qiandao will redeem Suzuki, right?" ”

Matsudaira glanced at the geisha.

Suzuki was not angry, but smiled and said, "Yes, our family Qiandao is so capable, there will definitely be daimyo who value him." ”

Matsudaira said unintentionally, "Have you heard of the person who ransomed for Asuka-san?" ”

"I thought it would be Morikawa-kun, I met Asuka-san a few days ago, and she heard that Morikawa came to us for two consecutive days, but she was a little out of shape."

Suzuki didn't care, "People's minds are unpredictable, one second I thought he was a good person, and the next second it was normal to change one, not to mention that Morikawa-kun didn't propose to redeem himself for Asuka-san, so it's okay to choose someone who is good to you." ”

"Little Suzuki, you really haven't grown up yet." Matsudaira smiled lightly, he shook the delicate fan in his hand, "The human heart is greedy. ”

***

Xi Deng also heard about Asuka being ransomed.,This thing out of the plot he just thought about it a little and put it down.,Compared to falling down the stairs on the eve of the Oiran selection.,It's good to be ransomed.。

Time passed slowly, and half a month passed.

Everyone in Gion was preparing for the day of the Oiran selection, and Xi Den was the most idle person.

But being idle is not necessarily a good thing, because you may run into people you don't want to touch.

Xi Deng stared at the person in front of him, and his tone was calm, "Tsuruda-kun, is there anything to find me?" ”
