Green apple

With his back facing the candlelight outside the window, Qingguo put down the water glass in his hand, lifted the quilt and got in.There have been a lot of things in the past two days, and she needs to calm down and think carefully.

According to the news sent by the guest named Takasugi Shinsuke, the shogunate has opened the door to Tianren and raised the flag to surrender.After the abolition of swords was promulgated, the group of warriors who served the general lost their shelter.

The extra gauze on the boy's face added a bit of feminine beauty.Qing Guo took the white paper from the other party's hand, glanced at it hastily, then put the paper into the candle and lit it.

The raised corners of the mouth spoke silently about the mood of the two people in the room, but the smile that didn't reach the corners of the eyes added a bit of haze to the room full of warm light.

Qingguo has injured countless people, but she has never killed a single person.

Even the Younv Qingguo, who gave birth to a child in Jiyuan at that time, only scratched the other's stomach in a pretentious manner.Otherwise, why do you think the Yoshihara Baihua Guard has so many people now.

Rescue the wandering girl who should have been executed for not being able to receive guests or for other reasons and hide in Baihua.During this process, Qingguo played a bad face and "killed" the person who should have been executed, and then Yue Yong, the captain of the Baihua Guard, played a white face to "collect the body" for him.

During the entire cooperation process, the two had no extra words, only turning around when they didn't like each other.

But this time...

Qingguo closed her eyes in the dark, thinking about her next plan in her heart.

The general of the shogunate, Tokugawa Dingding, suddenly spent a lot of money to redeem Yoshiwara's Oiran Nishiya after the country raised the white flag.After receiving the information provided by Takasugi, Qing Guo, who couldn't figure out the reason, became even more suspicious.

The man who should have been buried in the flames seven years ago did not die under the coercion of the shogunate. On the contrary, the man named Muchen Yano is now sitting in the second place in charge of the world.

Not to mention why the man whose house was ransacked and silenced not only did not die, but became a high-ranking leader, but just because the other party wanted to pay for him, Qing Guo was full of doubts about him.

But... the question is the question, and it is still necessary to agree to the guest's request.

Qingguo calmed down and sank into thoughts in the darkness.When her consciousness was a little fuzzy, Qing Guo suddenly found that there was another person in her room.

Lying on the bed with no expression on her face, Qing Guo wanted to see what this "late night" visitor was up to, but what she didn't expect was that the other party lifted her quilt.

The damp and cold air touched Qingguo's back through the gap.Qingguo, whose skin was covered in goosebumps from the sudden cold air, reached out and touched under the pillow.

Under the light of the lights outside the window, the cold color of the weapon gave off a cold light, Qingguo turned over and pulled out his hand, and the long and thin object in the darkness picked up the shadow's abdomen and pulled it away.

The maid who was lying on the crack of the door and peeping secretly curled her lips.She said long ago that even if she is proficient at night raids, it is impossible to succeed every time.

The black shadow in the room moved away neatly when Qingguo waved his fan.Realizing that he had failed in one blow, Qing Guo hurriedly turned around and ran out the door.

What a joke, it is correct to go to a place with light at such a time!

Qing Guo, who firmly refuses to admit that she suffers from night blindness, was tripped by the quilt on the ground because she couldn't see the road clearly when she fled. On the contrary, she was pulled off the ground by the collar.

Which idiot actually dares to play night raids in Yoshihara? Is he dead as a guard outside the door?

Qingguo, whose feet were off the ground, didn't notice any movement from the guards outside the door. His dark blue eyes flickered in the darkness, and Qingguo was still looking forward to the scene when the guards rushed in.

The dim candlelight lit up the small room, Qing Guo squinted her eyes, looking at the figure standing in the shadow opposite with blurred vision.

Wait a moment……

Qingguo looked at her feet leaving the ground in horror.

Since the person who attacked him at night was standing opposite him, who is the person who is grabbing his collar now? !

Kamui dropped the match in his hand, and looked at the layout of the room through the tiny candlelight.After looking at the glass filled with water placed on the table, Kamui suddenly realized what he said.

"So it's like that~~~ Didn't you drink water today~~~~"

The voice that was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar made Qingguo stop the bad guesses in his heart, and adjusted his dim eyes to look at the opposite side. The red-haired boy was playing with the water glass in his hand and looked at Qingguo with an aggrieved face.

Qingguo: ...

She was the one who was attacked at night, may I trouble you to put on that expression of being beeped first, then beeped?She should be the one who should feel wronged, okay? !

He stared blankly at the swaying young man opposite him, until the other party paused every step of the way and pulled out the folding fan with his clothes nailed to the wall.

"Little Aguo~~~~" The soft and waxy voice made Qingguo, who was arranging her clothes, tremble all over.Looking carefully at the young man behind him, Qing Guo spoke hesitantly.

"Shenwei? What happened to you, Shenwei? Shenwei? Are you possessed by something strange, Shenwei?"

Regarding Qingguo's complaints, Kamui just sat on the floor and gently tugged at the other party's sleeve, looking at the girl with misty sky-colored eyes.The slightly pursed lips showed the unique willful face of a boy, after seeing the flash of light in Qing Guo's eyes, Kamui spoke in an innocent tone.

"It's thundering outside~~~ I can't sleep at the old man's place alone~~~ And the quilt~~~ It doesn't smell like home~~~"

The boy's deliberately playful and cute tone caused a crack to appear on Qing Guo's poker face.Since Shenwei is sitting, Qingguo is now taller than the opponent.

The soft and boneless little hand slowly stroked the young man's head that should have been drooping in frustration, Qingguo slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

The low table made of agarwood solid wood should have several cracks on the tabletop due to heavy blows, Qing Guo grabbed Shenwei's head and kept hitting it on the tabletop.

"Are you an idiot when you're an old lady?! Where do you think you are staying because of thunder?! Don't think that just being cute can transfer your crime of raiding my room at night, bastard!!!"

"Alala~~~" Shenwei grabbed Qingguo's wrist and raised his bloody head with difficulty.

"It was discovered~~~"

"I found your sister!!! Do your parents know that you are so wretched?!"

Furious, Qingguo turned around and took out the medicine box from the cabinet, and knelt down opposite the boy. Qingguo stretched out her hand to lift the broken hair covering Shenwei's forehead, and slapped the wound on the boy's forehead mercilessly with the gauze stained with medicine powder.

Ignoring the young man's dissatisfied expression, Qingguo tore the gauze in his hand in half and tied it behind Shenwei's head.

Since it was face to face, when Qingguo was knotting the gauze, Shenwei's face was almost buried in Qingguo's arms.

"I'm really curious. You've lived in this dark place for a year, but the smell on you, Aguo, has never changed."

Qingguo, whose smell was mentioned, raised his arm to his nose and sniffed it vigorously.

"It's just the same powdery smell as everyone else, is there anything special?"

Looking at Qingguo's movements, Kamui unconsciously moved his recently raised Adam's apple. "Yes~~~It should be because I sleep with Ah Guo every day, so I am most familiar with the smell of Ah Guo~~~It's the same sun smell as the bedding at home~~~"

"Is that so..." Qing Guo pulled up the quilt on the tatami and smelled it. "Speaking of which, after arriving in Yoshiwara, there is no way to dry the quilt for you."

Qing Guo, who was completely off the point, hugged the quilt and thought about the possibility of asking the Night King to change the quilt tomorrow.

When Qingguo was in a daze, Shenwei walked around behind the opponent, resting his thin chin on Qingguo's shoulder, Shenwei said lazily.

"Little Argo tastes like the sun~~~ I like Xiao Argo the most~~~"

The girl who was confessed inadvertently touched the head of the large mammal behind her with her backhand, and looked at the reflection in the bronze mirror on the dressing table with tender eyes.

"If you don't like staying at the Night King's place, come to my place... I will prepare food and other things for you on time. Don't put weird things in my water glass in the future, sleeping pills, drugs, etc. Yes, it doesn't work for every woman here."

In the reflection, the boy's eyes narrowed for a moment, and then he buried his whole head in Qingguo's shoulder socket and rubbed vigorously.

"Little Aguo..." Shenwei's voice buried on his shoulder sounded muffled.Qingguo lowered her head, silently looking at the shadow on the ground.

"Today is December 12th, and there is a thick layer of snow on Yoshihara."

Kamui raised his head, playing with Qing Guo's long hair scattered around his shoulders.

"Happy birthday, little Aguo~~~"

Qingguo couldn't help but raise her hand to touch the tightness coming from the top of her head.The long red hair was combed high into a ponytail hanging behind the head, and what fixed the hair was a light red hair ring that made Qing Guo quite familiar.

Back then, she cut off her own hair and made it into a hair tie and tied it at the ends of the boy's hair. Today, the boy cuts his own hair and tied it between her hair with his own hands.

Big drops of water fell on the floor and made marks of different shades, Qing Guo said in a hoarse voice with his back to Shenwei.

"You guy, you really have investigated me through the Night King."

Kamui shook his head indifferently. "The shogunate somehow wants to redeem Yoshiwara's popular oiran. As the master, I have to find out the reason~~~ It's just that I found some interesting things during the investigation~~~"

"Talking about redemption... I'm afraid those guys don't have the life to bear my worth..."

Qing Guo, who wiped away the tears from her face, stroked her long tied-up hair with her hands, and said slowly to Shenwei in an incomparably alluring tone.
