Judges wait for you to grow up

The cool wind at night in Kyoto is not so cold, and the wind feels comfortable on the cheeks.

As we got to the center of Kyoto, the bustling noise dissipated the not much coldness, the crowd was crowded, and even made people feel a little hot.

Qiao Shan was asked by Yaoyan to wear thick clothes when he went out this time, so he sweated a little on his forehead when he went out, and also sweated a lot on the wrist held by Okita, but he didn't know what kind of mentality it was, Qiao Shan Instead of breaking free, he was pulled by Okita.

"Okay, here it is." Instead of being in the bustling center, Mr. Okita pulled him to the backyard of the Shinsengumi, and then raised his chin triumphantly: "I promise this is the best place to watch fireworks in all of Kyoto." , so...you go first? I go first?"

Looking at the house and the ladder in front of him, Qiao Shan felt that he really shouldn't go out with this person to watch some fireworks today. First, he accompanied him for a long time around Kyoto, and then unexpectedly Back to the Shinsengumi, it felt so sour, but it was coming, and it seemed a bit hypocritical to say nothing, so I had to climb up.

Okita came up behind in three steps in two steps, holding in his hand the small snacks that he had just bought in the street market in Kyoto but he just glanced at them and didn't buy them.

This man is indeed very caring.

Okita casually spread out the wrapping paper of the exquisite dim sum and put it on the eaves. Seeing that the dim sum that should have been decorated with flowers on the plate was treated like this, Qiao Shan sighed and did not speak.

The fireworks show has not yet started, and there are only mosquitoes screaming restlessly at night.

The two of them were biting with one in each hand, and there was nothing to talk about for the time being, just a deathly silence, Okita coughed twice, and opened his mouth, relieving the slightly awkward atmosphere between the two of them: "Your Ability to join the Restoration School or the Shinsengumi is a good choice, why should you stay here in obscurity?"

Qiao Shan was in a daze when asked, saw a few swords standing there not far away, and smiled softly: "Not everyone needs fame and wealth, sometimes quietly in the last stage of life, with your family It's also a good choice."

Okita chewed twice, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and didn't take the last stage of his life into his heart: "That's right." The street was brightly lit, and Okita's eyes shook for a while: "It's a pity, our After all, the gymnasium can't keep you out of it like this."

Seeing Okita delaying eating the pastry in his hand, instead falling into deep thought, such an expression should not appear on such a person's face.

Qiao Shan nimbly bit the pastry in Okita's hand, then turned his head, snatched it, and swallowed it in a few bites: "Really, the last piece of mung bean cake, I'm welcome if you don't eat it."

Seeing Qiao Shan laughing happily, Chong Tian also rushed up to make fun of it, and the two of them laughed and made a fuss, looking over, but could find that it was just Qiao Shan's tolerance and Chong Tian's messing around there.

The fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky, attracting attention. The fireworks in ancient times were much more interesting than the current fireworks. Although there are no fancy styles in the present world, they become different because of the lively chatter of the people around.

"Actually, this is not the biggest fireworks display in Kyoto. In less than a month, there will be even bigger fireworks displays."

"Would you like me to watch it too?" Qiao Shan asked with a smile, but remembered that after the Ikeda house incident, Okita could hardly get up from the hospital bed, and the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, looking at Okita who was still a little immature under the light of the fireworks next to him. face.

Suddenly, Qiao Shan understood the feelings of California Qingguang and Yamato Moran Ding wanting to protect the person in front of him. He shouldn't bear so many responsibilities at his age. He stretched out his hand and squeezed Okita's face.

Okita was a little surprised by Qiao Shan's move, but he smiled and opened Qiao Shan's hand: "Okay, okay, I see, please come and see." He shook his head: "Next time when I invite you, In addition to pastries, how about making mint tea?"

"Great kindness is hard to come by." Qiao Shan looked at Okita shaking his head and felt a little funny.

Okita leaned in front of Qiao Shan again, and looked into Qiao Shan's eyes at a close distance: "Has anyone ever said, Qiao Shan, your eyes are really beautiful, and when you see yourself in your eyes, you feel a sense of wonder." The pride of the name."

Qiao Shan was stunned for a while, then smiled: "No, you are the first one to say that."

The two looked at each other and smiled, but Qiao Shan turned away from Okita's eyes. At such a close distance, Qiao Shan could even feel Okita's breath spraying on his face: "It's an old saying, you're too close."

"Eh?" Okita looked at Qiao Shan for a while before recovering, and then he seemed to have discovered something important, and exclaimed: "Qiao Shan, are you shy?"

"No, no." Qiao Shan rejected Okita's words without thinking, but when she looked away, she felt her cheeks were a little hot.

Okita rubbed his belly and laughed loudly: "You obviously blushed just now."

"Nonsense." Qiao Shan stretched out his hand and slapped Okita on the shoulder: "That's the light of fireworks."

"Fine, fine, take it for granted." Seeing that Qiao Shan was a little embarrassed, Chong Tian stopped making trouble with him. Looking at the fireworks that were still going off, he looked at the people around him, and felt that this person The blushing look is a bit more beautiful than the fireworks blooming in the sky.

Pursing his lips, he moved to Qiao Shan's side, untied Qiao Shan's coat, and put half of it on himself.

When Qiao Shan looked at him with some puzzlement, Okita smiled and replied: "The weather is a bit cold, we are blessed to share."

Qiao Shan smiled gently, and didn't mind. Although the cold wind came in, the body temperature of the people next to him quickly warmed the cold brought by the cold wind.

"I don't see that you are in trouble, I just see that you have caused me a lot of trouble."

What Qiao Shan said was helpless, if it wasn’t for Mr. Okita, he wouldn’t have come to this era and his physical condition would have gotten worse, and he wouldn’t have been involved in the Huajie incident and the Xiaotie incident successively by Okita. In general, this person caused him a lot of trouble.

However, Qiao Shan unexpectedly discovered that he couldn't hate Souji Okita.

Okita stuck out his tongue and said with a playful smile: "You can't say that, you stay in that small house and don't move your body, it's not good for your health."

This kind of excuse has been heard a lot, and it is quite the style of medicine research. Qiao Shan stretched out his hand and pinched Okita's baby fat face, a little addicted: "You, you can always say something that I can't catch up with." If so, there is some truth to it.”

Okita rubbed his nose, looked at the whole picture of the Shinsengumi illuminated by the fireworks, full of pride: "That's right, I'm the captain of the Shinsengumi first team."

Qiao Shan looked at Okita's red nose from the cold, flicked his forehead, and coughed slightly: "The weather is a bit cold at night, go back to rest earlier, and the cough will attack later, it will not be good gone."

Okita agreed, but did not intend to go down. Yongcang Shinpachi shouted from below that he would go to the market to see. Okita asked Qiao Shan if he would go, and Qiao Shan shook his head: "I'll see it here. After a while, the fireworks will go back."

"Just now you told me to go back earlier, but now I'm staying here." Okita pouted, and then directed at Yongcang Shinpachi below: "You go, I want to stay here with me" important' guest."

Just after getting out of Qiao Shan's coat, the heat dissipated quickly, and Okita shivered, and hurriedly got back under Qiao Shan's coat, and rubbed against Qiao Shan, trying to borrow some heat: "You It's too cold, stay away from me."

But Chong Tian quit and shouted: "I refused to go to the market just to accompany you."

"You just came back from the market with me not long ago, and you definitely don't want to go now, and you gave me an excuse to prevaricate people." Qiao Shan explained Okita's thoughts in one sentence.

"Really, you can see through everything, it's boring." Okita bit his lower lip and looked at the empty parcel bag: "You eat too much, now you can't even watch the fireworks .”

Qiao Shan didn't have a good appetite, so he only ate two pieces this time, and Okita almost ate the pastries by himself. Seeing Okita muttering, he shook his head and slapped him on the shoulder with a smile.

Before the fireworks were extinguished, the Shinsengumi began to gather people from all parties: "Quickly, someone deliberately set fire to the capital again. Hurry up and get some people to go and have a look."

Are you having trouble again?Okita sighed, obviously dissatisfied: "Really, the fireworks haven't finished yet, can't these people cause trouble at another time?"

Saying goodbye to Qiao Shan, Director Okita quickly went back to his room and changed his clothes, then quickly left the Shinsengumi and rushed to the burning area. Qiao Shan saw a place with extremely thick smoke behind the fireworks, and followed Sighing: "It seems that this day is about to change."

Yaoyan came in through the back door of the Shinsengumi and told Qiao Shan to go back quickly: "It's getting cold, general, if your cough gets worse, I will double the amount of Houttuynia cordata."

Qiao Shan glanced at the sky covered by smoke again, then smiled gently at Yaoyan, and replied, "Okay, let's go back earlier."

Without people to accompany, and even people making trouble, it doesn’t make any difference whether you look at the sky or not, and it’s even less fun if you don’t have tea or pastries, so it’s better to go back earlier.

On the way, Qiao Shan was surrounded by several people. After a closer look, he understood that it was a few savages who made trouble this morning. I wanted to save some face.

"Unfortunately, it's not about saving face, it's about being uncomfortable." Qiao Shan rubbed his wrist, stretched his ankle, and then leisurely and slowly pulled out Hasebe: "The fireworks are not finished today." I was already in a bad mood, and you hit the muzzle."

Yaoken's mouth twitched slightly.

The difference between Qiao Shan's appearance and the gentleness when he smiled this morning was so great that it stunned the ronalds, who seemed to understand that this person in front of him was not easy to provoke, and the person with the scar asked: "We have a brother today There was no shadow in the morning, did you see it? If you can’t see it, you’ll be beaten and let go, but if you see it...”

Before the man finished speaking, Qiao Shan tilted his head with a smile, still looking gentle: "I see~"

Yao Yan also followed Qiao Shan's bad taste, held the body in his hand more firmly, and answered: "Yes, we peeled the skin when we died. I didn't expect the skin on the face to be so thick. Then the skin on my face got thicker."

Those ronin's eyes widened slightly, yelling at bastards, paying for their lives and so on. One of them rushed towards Qiao Shan with a knife in his hand. Before Qiao Shan raised his knife, he was killed by a young child. The sword stood in front of him.

The child's white hair and neat movements were surprising, and in the blink of an eye, several of them died in front of Qiao Shan.

At the moment when all the ronin died, a man wearing a bamboo hat came out from the shadows behind him, Qiao Shan frowned tightly, but he didn't notice this man in the shadows, and he didn't even appear at any time aware.

When did his vigilance become so bad?Perhaps to put it another way, the man in front of him has extremely high force, and his ability to hide his breath is also very high.

Without saying hello to them, after the child put away his sword, he respectfully went up to the man in the bamboo hat and called out teacher. It's no wonder that Qiao Shan didn't notice the existence of this man with such a strong child called the man teacher in front of him.

Yao Yan fell into vigilance, the man took off his hat lightly, and looked at Qiao Shan sharply.

Minoru Yoshida.

This is the reformist faction who is the opposite of the Shinsengumi. He was killed by Okita Souji when he was in Ikeda House. It is said that he came back to find the child named Suzu in front of him.

He is affectionate, but sometimes he is too ruthless. This child is the only one he cares about.

Qiao Shan pulled Yao Yan and nodded at Minoru Yoshida as a thank you. Although he knew that these people had probably offended the person in front of him, but after all, they acted when he was in danger, but Qiao Shan touched him. It is not clear why Yoshida Minoru took off his hat in front of him to expose himself.

Yoshida Minoru took a few glances at Qiao Shan and the people around him, especially when he saw California Qingguang and Yamato Shou'an, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. The inexplicable hatred in the eyes of these two people made him a little moved interest.

Yao Yan saw the eyes of the man in front of him, and instantly felt the danger coming: "Thank you for your help."

Yoshida Minoru held the bamboo hat in his hand, and just glanced at Yaoken, then turned his head to meet Qiao Shan's eyes, and when he saw Qiao Shan's still gentle eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up ironically.

"If you stand in neutral, then keep this good habit, otherwise, you don't know if you will survive until the day you see the victory of the Shinsengumi."

When the man's back disappeared into the distance, Qiao Shan's tense nerves relaxed a little. He picked up the five tigers beside him who were trembling because of the terrifying breath, and patted Xiao Tui's back to comfort him: "Neutral?"

"What does the general think about maintaining neutrality?"

Qiao Shan pursed his lips tightly: "We came to this era to protect the Shinsengumi, and we have long been unable to stand neutral, let alone..."

"What's more, I have been in too much contact with Director-General Okita these days. If there is a need for rescue, we can't help." Yao Yan accepted this, and it can be seen that Qiao Shan treats Director-General Okita these days. Impression: "The general will not be able to leave people by his side in the future."

"That's not necessary." Qiao Shan pulled a few children: "Yoshida Minoru has no time to deal with small characters like me these days, and the Ikedaya incident is coming soon. The relationship between the Shinsengumi and them has become a deadlock. He wants to break from me."

"If it wasn't like this, how could I have dealt with those rogues before I made a move? Although I was warned not to say what I should or should not say, it gave me a huge scope for me to act , although it is conceited, but I can feel the intention to win me over."

Qiao Shan looked at Yaoyan's vigilance and said, "Go back earlier, you guys don't go out to play recently, follow me, just in case."

Director Okita came when the sun was about to set the next day, and he was a little surprised when he saw a few people obediently waiting at the door: "Why don't you go out to play?"

"Big brother won't let us go out recently." Jinjian was not allowed to play and stayed outside the house, which made Jinjian a little unhappy, holding a cub of the Five Tigers in his hand and kneading it.

After Okita touched Imai's head, he pushed open Qiao Shan's door, and he saw Qiao Shan holding the scroll, walked up to Qiao Shan and sat down: "When you first met, you gave me a hand. I felt like a nerd, but I didn’t expect to be a nerd, I’ve been here five times, and you’ve been reading four times.”

"Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, I can't go out often. Reading these books is like going out to see." Qiao Shan patted Okita on the head with the book: "If you are bored, why don't you read some with me? Book."

Chong Tian quickly waved his hand: "No, I don't want to become the second nerd." This made Qiao Shan a little bit dumbfounded, and put down the scroll: "Why are you looking for me?"

"What? I can't play with you if I have nothing to do?" Okita asked on the point: "You suddenly don't let these children go out to play, what happened?"

"Of course, my door is open for you at any time." Qiao Shan also understood the temperament of the children at the door, and guessed that he didn't want to stay in it, so he complained twice and was heard: "Yesterday, I met a People, if I remember correctly, this person is called... Yoshida Minoru."

Okita's eyes widened fiercely, and then he threw himself in front of Qiao Shan, checking Qiao Shan's body up and down, and only relaxed when he saw that Qiao Shan's body was not damaged.

"That man is a dangerous person. You have been with me for too long recently. You are lucky that that man didn't harm you. Are there any scars that I didn't find?"

Unexpectedly, Okita's first reaction was not to ask him what the man said to make him vigilant, but to check whether there was any abnormality in his body. This surprised Qiao Shan, but his heart warmed up: "No, it seems to want If you wanted to win me over, you didn't lay hands on me."

"That's fine." Okita finally relaxed: "It's hard to have friends other than Shinsengumi. Fortunately, you weren't injured."

Qiao Shan covered his mouth and coughed twice, and said with a smile, "I thought you would win me over to the Shinsengumi."

Okita shook his head, sat next to Qiao Shan and seemed to be infected, and coughed twice: "No, you said earlier that you don't want to come, and I won't force you, although you are indeed a good help, but I would rather you remain neutral according to his wishes, after all, you are betting your life if you join in."

Gamble your life?Qiao Shan's smile became a bit bitter. These days, why didn't he bet his life already?

Okita looked at the books in Qiao Shan's hand, and suddenly remembered something: "Although I don't like reading books very much, I do like listening to you tell stories, but you haven't told me much these days."

"Why do you still like listening to stories like a child?" Qiao Shan scolded with a smile, but still took a book of vernacular stories from the side and started telling. In the end, he fell asleep with his head on Qiao Shan's shoulder.

Qiao Shan didn't know what to do at this moment. He didn't push it away, and he didn't push it away. When he came in, he shook his head slightly and let him go down.

"Forget it, I guess I owe you." Qiao Shan felt that his shoulders were a little sore, but saw the man's happy sleepy eyes finally turned helpless: "You, don't sleep on me for too long .”
