It's April, and it's supposed to be rainy and misty.

The drizzle was continuous, and the mist hung over the entire Edo like a light veil. The cherry blossom trees on both sides of the bluestone pavement are in full bloom, and the trees pull out their tender green branches, and the pink petals are clustered on the branches, and the air is always filled with a slightly sweet fragrance.

A well-dressed teenager was lying in front of the window, looking into the distance boredly. The flowers in the distance were like fire, but it was a very ordinary sight in the eyes of the teenager. He poked out his white arm from his wide sleeve and reached out to the windowsill to catch the rain, and when his fingers were wet with the rain, he withdrew it and licked it in his mouth, and immediately laughed happily.

"Hee-hee-hee, this rain is so sweet."

When the boy finished doing this, he didn't seem to find it enjoyable, he straightened up, pressed one hand on the windowsill, and leaned out of the window with half of his body.

"Suzuki?"

A slightly confused voice rang out.

The sound frightened the young man directly, and almost fell out of the window, he quickly retracted and patted his chest, before he poked his head out of the window and scolded-

"Qiandao, are you trying to scare me to death? Have you become a ghost, you don't even make a sound when you walk during the day! I'm going to die, I can't spare you! ”

The person he scolded was a handsome young man,

To be exact, it is somewhere between a teenager and a young adult. The man was tall, the face under Tang Lun's head was a narrow and thin face, his complexion was fair, his two eyebrows were thick and long, and under the eyebrows were a pair of gray-brown eyes, and these eyes were full of doubts. He has a beautiful lip shape, a well-defined lip line, and the lower lip is slightly fuller than the upper lip.

The young man on the windowsill stared at the face of the person below, and suddenly blushed, he turned around and took something from the table next to him and threw it at the man, "Look at what I do, and then I will sue Aoki." ”

The full name of Aoki in his mouth is Chiyo Aoki, and he is the boss here. As for this place, this is Gion, which is commonly known as Flower Street. Chiyo Aoki has a house in the mansion, and this house is of course used to entertain guests. Outsiders call this house Aoki's house, and the difference between the Aoki family and other homes in the garden is that the Aoki family entertains guests with men, while other people's homes are all women.

They were collectively known as geisha, and at first geisha were men, but now women are more popular because they are more natural than men.

The Aoki family is the only store left that is still training male geisha.

The man called Cheng Qiandao caught the thing left by the young man, and when he looked closely, it was a red powder box, and there were fine carvings on the box, and the petals were intertwined along the branches and leaves, revealing a bit of beauty.

"What are you doing with this for me, I don't need this."

Qiandao frowned slightly, and his face showed a little puzzlement.

The young man wanted to get angry, but when he saw the object he had lost, he smiled slyly and coaxed Qiandao to say, "You open it and take a look, it's what I want to show you inside." ”

Qiandao did as he was told, and quickly closed the box after three seconds, but his face was on fire and quickly dyed crimson.

The young man immediately covered his stomach and laughed, laughing and laughing and falling directly to the ground, he didn't mind, and continued to roll around on the ground, "Stupid Qiandao, stupid Qiandao." ”

"Suzuki." Qiandao's voice downstairs was a little unsteady, "How can you have this?" ”

The boy lay on the ground, and due to his posture, the wide kimono was lifted up, revealing his snow-white calves. He held his chin, smiled, and said nonchalantly, "Aoki gave it to me." ”

"How could Aoki give you this?"

In short, he quickly got up from the ground, ran to the windowsill again, and said in a bad tone: "You want to be a samurai, but I just want to be a geisha, geisha eat and sleep well every day, as long as you perform the dance tea ceremony and chat with people, how good." It's not like you, who practiced hard under the cherry blossom tree every day with a martial arts/warrior/sword, and didn't practice anything. Aoki said that I would be the next Oiran in Gion. ”

A hint of confusion flashed between Qiandao's eyebrows, "Suzuki, I'm sorry. ”

The young man showed his snow-white teeth to Qiandao, he opened his teeth and claws like a small beast, but this little beast's anger disappeared quickly, and he quickly beckoned to the people downstairs, "Qiandao, come up quickly." ”

***

Xi Deng listened to that, turned around and walked towards the house.

This world is something he has never been to before, and even his name has been added in front of it with two words -

Thousand Island mat lamp.

A very quirky name.

People here think his name is weird, so most of them call him "Thousand Islands".

This mission is different from the previous ones.,The boy who talked to him before is called Mayu Suzuki.,It's the protagonist of this world.。 He and the original body were sold to Gion since he was a child, and Mayu Suzuki's wish since childhood was to be the most famous geisha, but the original body chose the path of a samurai.

The boss, Chiyo Aoki, did not agree at first, because he did not train samurai when he bought people back, and samurai could not make money for him.

Mayu Suzuki, who was only three years old at the time, ran to Chiyo Aoki and said that he would make a lot of money, and he would earn back the money of the original body, and ask Aoki to make the original body a samurai.

"You are so confident that you can make a lot of money, and now men are not good at making money." Chiyo Aoki said lightly.

Mayu Suzuki knelt in front of him, his immature little face full of longing for his future life, "Suzuki has confidence. ”

Mayu Suzuki, who is only three years old, can already make people see the delicacy of his facial features, Aoki just smiled slightly and agreed, it turns out that Suzuki is also in line with his imagination, the longer he grows, the more enchanting.

Although he hasn't officially picked up yet, he's already caught a lot of attention.

The original body that was protected got his wish and followed a samurai hired by Aoki to learn martial arts, and Aoki asked the original body to use martial arts to protect the people of the Aoki family in the future, after all, sometimes there are some vexatious guests.

The twist of the story takes place in the year when Mayu Suzuki is preparing to officially pick up customers, and he meets a man. The man was mysterious and handsome, and almost everyone in Gion was willing to do his business.

No one knew what the man did, but that didn't stop everyone from liking him.

Suzuki naturally also had a heart for this man, but the original body that liked Suzuki was jealous, and he ran to fight a duel with the man, and the original body that was not as good as a man in martial arts naturally lost, and when the martial arts knife was about to stab into his body, Suzuki Mayu rushed out.

He blocked the knife and died for the original body.

The story of this world is a tragedy.

When the original body found Xi Deng, his face was pale and haggard, and the moment he saw Xi Deng, tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, "Please protect him, please save him." ”

Xi Deng stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, "I'll help you, don't cry." ”

The original body's tears never stopped, and the thick despair in his body seemed to be infected by Xi Deng, "Please be sure to protect him, even if it is with my life." ”

"If this is your wish, I will make it happen for you."

Before Xi Deng left, the original body was still crying.

Xi Deng looked back at the original body, and had never met the client who had been crying, so he must have been too sad.

It is sad to think about the death of the person you like to protect yourself.

***

Xi Deng took off his clogs at the door, and only wore socks before going up to the second floor, the wooden planks of the stairs have been more than ten years old, and now they make a creaking sound every time, and the wooden planks seem to tell everyone who has stepped on them that their age has come.

Aoki said several times that he wanted someone to repair it, but he seemed to have forgotten about it.

Xi Lamp lowered his eyes, thinking endlessly, and after a while, he arrived at the door of Suzuki Mayu's room.

"Suzuki, I'm here."

As soon as Xi Deng's words fell, the door inside was pushed open, and Suzuki knelt at the door, happily beckoning to Xi Deng, "Come in, Qiandao." ”

Xi Deng bent down slightly and walked in, he had been pumping the strip all this time, rubbing it up like a bamboo shoot in spring.

Suzuki naturally found out, and he said a little unhappily: "Qiandao, are you stealing something from me?" Why did you grow so tall? ”

It turned out that they were still the same height, but in less than half a year, Xi Deng was already a head taller than him.

Xi Lamp knelt down next to Suzuki and said in confusion, "What's wrong?" I didn't steal anything. ”

"You're so much taller than me, I'm not happy." Mayu Suzuki snorted.

Xi Deng said softly: "Maybe I've been exercising a lot lately, I asked you to go with me in the morning, but you always have to sleep lazy, and you will get angry if you shout a few more times." ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Suzuki Mayu's face, but he quickly said: "I study so much every day, naturally I am very sleepy, you have nothing to do every day, so you can only get up early." ”

The person he scolded was not angry, but looked at him with a light smile.

Suzuki's face blushed inexplicably, and he leaned closer to the other party, "Xi Deng? ”

"Huh?"

"I still don't like to call you this, it's weird. Qiandao, if you really become a samurai in the future, will you make money to take me out of Gion? ”

Xi Deng handed the powder box in his hand to the other party and nodded, "Yes." ”

"But it will be many years before you make money, will I be old before I can make money? I have such a good-looking face, I don't think there is anyone in the whole of Gion who is better looking than me. After Mayu Suzuki finished speaking, he took a closer look at Xi Deng's face.

Well, although the other party is also good-looking, but it's a completely different type from himself, and he belongs to the type that everyone likes, and Xi Deng is just the type he will appreciate.

Xi Deng laughed out loud when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at Suzuki Mayu, "Suzuki is so narcissistic. ”

"I didn't say it, it was Aoki who said it, and Aoki said that soon the whole of Gion will know my name Mayu Suzuki."

Xi Deng was about to say something, when he heard a call outside-

"Qiandao, Qiandao, you can help me go out and buy something."

When Suzuki Mayu heard this, he was about to stand up and walk out, but Xi Deng hurriedly grabbed him, "Suzuki, where are you going?" ”

Suzuki Mayu's little face was full of anger, "They know that they call you to run errands, aren't there people waiting next to them?" ”

"It's okay, hey, I'm going fast anyway, do you want something to eat when I go out? What did you think of the pastry you bought last time? Xi Deng gently coaxed him.

Suzuki Mayu was a little angry and knelt down again, "I want to eat a lot, you buy more and come back, do you have any money?" ”

"Yes, you wait for me to come back."

Xi Deng got up, smiled at Mayu Suzuki, and walked out.
