short story collection

The general manager honestly went to Sendagaya to recuperate.

Not long after, Gu Yizhi also went to Sendagaya under the commission of Hijikata Sansui.

Saito and Gu Yizhi left after going to Uekiya Heigoro's residence where the chief executive recuperated.

"General Manager." Gu Yizhi smiled and looked at Director Okita who was sitting in the yard watching the cherry blossoms.

The general manager smiled, picked up a cherry blossom that fell from the tree, and said, "You are here."

Gu Yizhi nodded with a smile, "I will stay here to bother you from now on, so don't hate me."

"How could it be?" It's too late for joy.

Gu Yizhi smiled, "That's good."

Gu Yizhi lived there for a long time, his room was next to the chief's room, very close, so he could always hear the chief's coughing in the middle of the night very clearly.

Gu Yizhi was very distressed by the suppressed cough of the director general, "Director, you don't have to hold back, please. It's okay, I'm here."

In fact, Gu Yizhi knew that he was tempted by the chief executive, even if it was very inappropriate.

"Okay." Hearing the general manager's weak answer, Gu Yizhi couldn't let go of his heart no matter what.

Gu Yizhi accompanied the chief executive every day to enjoy the pink cherry blossoms in the yard, write Chinese characters in the room, or listen to Gu Yizhi tell stories.

The days passed like this.But not long after, an unexpected person ushered in here, the three-year-old Hijikata.

Three-year-old Hijikata seemed to have aged ten years overnight, but he still kept a bright smile in front of the chief executive.

The general manager was obviously very surprised to see him, and said happily: "Mr. Hijikata! You are here? How are Director Kondo and the others?"

When the three-year-old Tufang heard the question from the general manager, he trembled slightly, but still smiled and said: "They are all well, but they are very busy these days, so they can't come to see you. After a while, everyone will not be so busy. They'll come to see you."

The chief executive smiled, eyebrows curved, "Okay."

Gu Yizhi looked at the indelible sadness in Tufang Sansui's eyes, he knew that Tufang Sansui was lying.

Not long ago, the Battle of Toba Fushimi broke out. Members of the Shinsengumi died and were injured... and Isamu Kondo was even more miserable. He was captured in Edo and beheaded for public display.

But Gu Yizhi didn't expose the lie that Tufang was three years old. This white lie was what the general manager needed.

The general manager smiled and said: "That's good, I will get better as soon as possible and fight with everyone."

"We'll be waiting for you," said Tukata three-year-old softly.

"Yeah." The boss showed a slight smile.

Not long after, Tufang had to leave when he was three years old.

Gu Yizhi looked at him, and suddenly a burst of deep sadness welled up in his heart.Hijikata was three years old, he rushed into the enemy line like suicide in the Battle of Hakodate... Maybe he didn't think about surviving at all.

"Mr. Hijikata." Gu Yizhi suddenly stopped him, and then said seriously: "Take care, I don't think he wants you to be safe."

Tufang Sansui was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Gu Yizhi was talking about, so he replied in a low voice: "I know, thank you."

After Tufang left at the age of three, the pale and bloodless Chief Director said sadly, "Are they all gone?"

Gu Yizhi stroked the soft hair of the chief executive, "They are in our hearts."

Later, the general manager could only lie on the sickbed completely, and his slightly rosy lips had completely lost their color.

"I had a dream yesterday." The chief executive looked at his hands with difficulty, "I dreamed of a black cat, and I killed a black cat..."

Gu Yizhi listened quietly.

"I want to see the cherry blossoms." The director said softly.

Gu Yizhi nodded, "Okay." Then he helped the chief executive.

This year's cherry blossoms have a particularly long flowering period.

"If I fall asleep later, don't wake me up, okay?" The boss put his head on Gu Yizhi's shoulder lightly and said with a smile.

"Okay." Gu Yizhi replied with a smile.

Gu Yizhi leaned his head lightly on the chief executive's body, listening to the increasingly weak breathing of the chief executive, he also fell asleep.

After opening his eyes, it turned out to be Cen Zhu's magnified handsome face...

Cen Zhu looked at him aggrievedly, and complained: "You are too lazy! You slept all day, so I didn't see Nara Xiaolu! Really, you can't wake up no matter how you scream!"

Gu Yizhi ignored Cen Zhu, but looked at everything around him in a daze... Could it be that the days spent with the chief executive were all dreams?

No, it's impossible!

Gu Yizhi suddenly ran out like crazy, and bumped into someone just as he ran out.

"I'm sorry!" Gu Yizhi said, and wanted to continue to take a step, but was stopped by that person.

The man smiled, "Hi, my name is Okita Souji."

The person in front of him, with a cute baby face and big eyes, combed his hair meticulously with a purple headband...

It was exactly the same as the Souji Okita who had a warm smile and a clear voice in his memory.
