you've always been someone else's lover

"Who is Yinshi? Who did you mistook me for?" Hijikata fell from heaven to hell in an instant. Can continue to help him solve it with his hands.

Afterwards, Gui fell asleep quickly. The boy had an innocent face, and it was difficult for people to connect him with the executioner on the battlefield.But the earth side knew that he must have killed people, and many of them.What should I do, I have provoked a very important person, and when he wakes up, he will probably be ashamed and slash himself.

However, after Gui woke up from his sleep the next day, he didn't start killing, maybe because he was injured, or maybe because he lost the knife, so he just blinked his beautiful eyes, and started to order Hijikata: "Hey, I'm hungry Now, I feel weak without eating, and now I want to eat delicious sticks and soba noodles in clear soup."

I never expected this kind of development, but the dojo is full of young men who are full of vigor, and I never think about such light snacks as delicious sticks and soba noodles.Tufang asked him if he could eat something else, and he muttered that he just wanted to eat this, which was a bit coquettish.Stared at by those tea crystal eyes, a certain person's heart was moved, and he hurriedly went out to buy, and then the two stayed in the room chatting all over the world, and they hit it off very well, looking like they hated seeing each other later.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Gui tilted his head and asked with a smile.

Normally, Tufang would definitely shake his head, but after seeing this person in front of him, he finally believed that there is such a thing as a lifetime in the world.Because some people really only need to take a look, they will walk into their hearts and take root from then on.

"I have a friend who was originally the eldest son of a rich family. Although he is seasick all the time, he loves boats very much. He has been to many places and seen all kinds of anecdotes. He once told me that there is actually a scientific explanation for love at first sight. Because human beings Preferences are determined by genes at the embryonic stage, so everyone has an image of the perfect dream lover that genes have chosen for you. When we grow up, we will meet one and the one in our hearts among thousands of people. When a person with a perfect image has a certain similarity, you will fall in love with him involuntarily, this is the principle of love at first sight." Gui looked at Hijikata, boldly stretched out his hand, and gently stroked his cheek: "The perfect image in your heart and mine, About 99% similarity."

Tufang never thought that Gui would take the initiative to say such a thing, and he was stunned for a moment: "What is the 1% difference?"

"What else can it be but mayonnaise, you actually add that kind of thing to soba noodles, you kneel down and apologize to the soba noodle god." A natural daze crossed his arms and demanded righteously: "It's really disgusting , turning precious food into dog food, this behavior cannot be forgiven!"

"If it's the other way around, you don't understand what the customer wants to do, and people who don't know how to appreciate delicious food like mayonnaise are not qualified to talk about food." Hijikata was also furious. It's okay to insult him, but not to insult mayonnaise.Later, the two wrestled together, started to play, laughed and fell to the ground before giving up.

He looked into Gui's eyes and said seriously: "Although I haven't completely satisfied you, you are [-]% in line with the image of the perfect lover in my heart."

"Oh my God, isn't that what we love each other for?" Gui smiled until his eyes were like crescent moons. He rested his head on the other's arm and smiled for a while, but the happiness on his face gradually disappeared.He hesitated for a long time, and finally said in a bitter voice: "It's a pity that I already have a lover. If I had met you earlier... that would be great. We get along so well, and we will be very, very happy."

"Is that person Yinshi?" Although his heart was full of disappointment, he felt that he hadn't lost yet, and maybe with a little more effort, he would be able to embrace the beauty.After all, there is no corner in this world that cannot be dug, only a mistress who does not work hard.Although doing so violated the spirit of Bushido, the chances of meeting someone who fell in love at first sight were very small. If he missed Gui, maybe there would be no one who would make him so tempted again.

"How do you know!" Gui was a little surprised.

"You called him by his name yesterday when you were having a good time." Hijikata replied honestly, and then added: "But I don't care, I am confident that you will never forget me in the future, no matter who you are with, you can only call me name."

After all, they were at a young age, and the two saw each other right again, and soon the fire was out of control.However, after the effect of the medicine faded, Gui somewhat regained his sanity, insisting on refusing to break through the last line of defense.He said that when he wanted to go back to find Yin, he would apologize to him well, no matter how much time and effort he spent, he had to get his forgiveness, and then start a new relationship with Tufang.

In the days that followed, their relationship swelled dramatically, with each longing for the other.Gui knew that if he continued like this, his sanity would be burnt out, so he had to leave.

"I have to go, but I also don't want to part with you. I know that you also have an inseparable bond, and you can't give up everything and leave with me. So, are you willing to promise me a selfish request and wait for me to come back?" He asked when he left , In fact, I was very disturbed: "I want to clarify the relationship with Yinshi, even if I am doomed to face defeat, I must persist until the last moment of the war, and look for the dawn of this country. I don't know when I will come back, but I promise You, as long as I don't die, I will definitely return to you."

The earth side nodded solemnly, and responded with a kiss: "I'm sorry that I can't be by your side, and help you share these burdens. But I will always wait for you, I swear."

After finishing the memory, Doji standing in front of the house of all things finally realized how important he had forgotten.The war ended not long after he lost his memory, and then he went to Edo with Kondo, and it was several years before he saw Gui again.He suddenly remembered the first time he encountered the wanted criminal Gui Xiaotaro. He drew his sword and rushed forward, but the opponent had an unbelievable expression on his face. He didn't fight back, but just blocked the attack with the scabbard, and his eyes were a little wet.

"I must have broken your heart." The lover who vowed to be together turned into an enemy who drew his sword.Gui gave up everything for him and abandoned his original lover, but in the end he got this kind of ending.

Suddenly the sliding door of the Master Room opened, and the party leader, who was already fully dressed, was about to go out. When he looked up, he happened to meet Tufang's eyes.He seemed a little nervous, but because he was wearing wig clothes, he probably wanted to get away with it, so he immediately said in a false voice: "Sir, Master House is closed today, please come back tomorrow if you have any entrustments."

"Xiaotaro." Hijikata didn't know whether to call him, but if he didn't say something now, he might miss each other forever.Because when he chooses Yin, he won't have his own chance: "You went to Wuzhou to find me, didn't you?"

Gui was a little surprised, he looked into the eyes of the deputy head of the Shinsengumi Oni, and found the figure of the boy with the ponytail inside.He suddenly understood everything, lowered his head and showed a smile that was about to shatter: "Have you finally remembered? It's been too long. I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and I've lost hope for so long. But... why now? ...why did it sound again..."

"Let's go out and have a chat, just the two of us, okay?" Bai Yasha didn't know what he was doing, and Tufang really didn't want to meet him now, because Gui would definitely not choose him.It is clear at a glance whether the infatuated ex who has been waiting for him for ten years or the one who fell in love at first sight with only a few days of memories is more important.

"Okay, let's go to the movies. I happen to have today's tickets here." Gui said and took out two movie tickets from his clothes, which said Golden Years Theater: "I would have gone in Yinshi, but he was very concerned about the old man. Not interested in movies."

It's his turn when Yinshi doesn't go, and Hijikata's heart is full of sadness, but it's better than never touching him again.

On the way to the movie theater, the two of them were a little embarrassed for some reason. The deputy chief of the ghost wanted to speak several times, but thousands of words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.He looked at Gui, and hesitated for a while before saying: "That..."

"I saw Saito Susumu's diary when I sneaked into the Shinsengumi, and that's when I knew about your amnesia. In fact, I hated you very much before." Katsura said this out of nowhere, with a deadpan face and couldn't distinguish emotions: "But after knowing this, I feel very guilty and feel that I have wronged you. I want to confess everything to you, tell you about the good times we have experienced, and refresh your memory. But, you already have your own life, and the things you forgot It's just an opposing enemy, and I shouldn't bother."

He sighed, and then said: "That day at the ladyboy shop, when you came to investigate under the guise of Yinshi, I thought maybe this was the only chance I had to touch you, so I was so proactive. Being able to make it to the end... This will probably be the most regrettable thing in my life. In fact, I want to be your person, even if it is only once, that memory is enough for me to live."

"It's not too late now, as long as you are willing, we can still..." Knowing that he had this intention, Tufang happily and boldly grabbed Gui's hand and held it tightly, unwilling to give up the hard-won opportunity.

But Gui didn't look at him, his eyes fell on the movie theater across the street. The signboard outside the door read the words "Golden Years" and "Nostalgic Theater", but the surrounding area was deserted and looked very depressed.After all, with the popularity of home theaters and the emergence of blockbuster movies with various special effects, few people are willing to go to the cinema to watch old movies decades ago.But Gui was still attracted by the signboard, because "The Bridge of Madison County" was being screened today.

"I didn't expect to come across this movie, so it's God's will." Gui smiled wryly and walked straight into the cinema.

Tufang didn't know anything about old movies, and he didn't understand why Gui's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.He hastily followed, still complaining about how to make up for the lost time.

There were only the two of them in the entire screening room. In the darkness, Gui took the initiative to hold Hijikata's hand, and the two of them clasped their fingers together like real lovers.

But the joy that rose in Tufang's heart was quickly diluted by the plot. This is a family ethics romance film about infidelity and a third party.A woman who has never experienced happiness and joy in marriage, meets a man who is wandering around, falls in love at first sight like lightning, and then begins that short but life-affecting romance.

The two of them didn't speak during the whole movie, they just held each other's hand tightly.Towards the end, Gui suddenly let out a suppressed choked sob. He cried, and then he didn’t know whether to tell himself or Tufang, so he said this sentence slowly but clearly: "Wife always wants to return to the family, because in In this world, apart from unrequited love, there is also responsibility."

Tufang didn't answer, because at this moment he already understood Gui's choice.

His eye sockets were also wet, but he had no choice but to grab the hand of his sweetheart even harder at the last moment, enjoying the tenderness that raced against time.

In the long music, the heroine's ashes were scattered on the Madison Bridge where she met her love of life. The movie finally came to an end in sadness, and death became the end of the poignant love.Meeting the right person at the wrong time will always make people sigh. This is called fate tricks people.Tufang understands and understands Gui's choice, so he is also very clear that if he keeps him or shows that he is in pain, it will only make him more sad.

He gritted his teeth, but never let the water drip from his eyes...

Until the lights in the projection hall were turned on, the two were still sitting, and neither of them wanted to leave first.Because of this getting up, it is likely to be the eternal formula.Finally, Gui stood up as if making up his mind, and gently withdrew his hand.Tufang's heart throbbed unceasingly, and he instinctively grabbed it. After a few seconds of stalemate, the two finally let go.Gui turned his face sideways, his body trembling a little: "Yinshi has been waiting for me for ten years."

"I know." Tufang felt that his throat was blocked by something, and the syllables he uttered were a bit strange.

"I want to apologize to Yinshi, and I want to apologize to you." Gui turned around and looked at the man he loved so much for the last time: "I will repay Yinshi's love with my whole life's company, but my heart will be left to you." you."

His lips became pale, opened and opened again, and said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, I dragged you into the vortex of love without authorization, but I have always been someone else's lover."

After Gui finished speaking, he walked away quickly as if fleeing.It was raining outside, and the streets were deserted. I walked quickly in the heavy rain, not knowing where I should go and where I would return.Tufang didn't catch up, and there was no one else in the street except himself, and a strong sense of loneliness suddenly struck, and Gui's footsteps became heavy, and every step he took outside felt like a knife was twisting his heart.

He gritted his teeth and forced himself to walk in the direction of the house of all things, sighing out of frustration or letting go: "Goodbye, Hijikata, even if it's just a night of exchanging souls, I will always remember your warmth... ...and, I really love you..."
