Sleeping under the wind blowing cherry tree

pregnancy. "

"Huh?" Saito was dazed by the sudden thanks.

"Hehe, I'm just expressing my personal gratitude." Thank you, whether it's bringing delicious dumplings or being a hero to save the beauty, Sakurako seems to be able to feel the difference from the outside world in the communication with Saito, which is different from that of her neighbor's Muzi. Enthusiasm is different from the pampering of my father and housekeeper. There are many people with different personalities in this world.

Watching Saito leave until she could no longer see the back of the other party, Sakurako reluctantly looked back and closed the gate of the yard.

Looking up at the blue sky, it is as clear as if there is no impurity, it is so clean.Taking a deep breath of the fresh air that belongs to nature, Yingzi's smile has never fallen.

"Miss, you've been in a good mood recently." The servant looked at her with relief.

"Really, even you can see it..." Yingzi kept looking at the sky without moving.

"Miss is in a good mood because of that samurai just now, right? Could it be that he fell in love with him?" The servant laughed jokingly.

"Keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense!" She knew that it was impossible for her and him.She is just a passer-by in his life, and that person's heart cannot stay on her.

The servant was frightened by Yingzi's serious expression, immediately shut his mouth obediently, then bowed and retreated sensibly.

Yingzi turned her head to look at the place where Saito was standing just now, for some reason, she knew clearly what the ending of the two parties would be, but she still felt lost because of it.

In the past, no matter how beautiful Muzi described her, she did not believe in the so-called love at first sight. However, if it is now, Yingzi feels that it is indeed too beautiful, so beautiful that it is unreal... Before this feeling has taken root, she must Contained in the cradle, she is a seriously ill patient, a person with no future, who needs only to be a simple friend for just a week... and that's it.

In the evening, knowing that my father came back with a stern face and that no one dared to provoke her because of his angry appearance, Yingzi came to the door of my father's study suspiciously, hesitating whether to go in and ask what happened.

"Is it Yingzi?" My father's voice came from inside the door.

"Yes, father." Yingzi finally pushed open the door of the study, only to see her father clutching his forehead with a melancholy expression on his face.

"Sakura, come here, sit next to me, I want to tell you something."

"What's the matter? Father?" Yingzi sat aside obediently and looked at him.

"Although I don't know if it's too late to say this, but father still hopes that you, Sakurako, will stay away from that Saito."

Sakura was a little surprised, "Did something happen?"

"That Saito...he's the captain of the Shinsengumi's [-]rd Division, and a master of Iai Zhan." My father said with a sigh.

"Shinsengumi?" Sakurako frowned suspiciously, what does this have to do with asking her to stay away from Saito?

"Well...Juhe Zhan, what he pays attention to is a one-hit kill. I don't know how many people's lives have been ruined with his hands. I am really lucky to see his sword technique today. Although he uses the knife with his left hand, but like that The level of power is not inferior to the average samurai, and the rumors of the Shinsengumi are not very good."

He hoped that his daughter could live a carefree life instead of handing it over to a murderer. He originally planned to sell his daughter, but after thinking about it, it really wasn't right.

"Father..." Yingzi looked at him seriously.

"kindness?"

"Daughter promises you that after the agreed Monday, she will forget about his existence. Just like a father wants his daughter to be happy, a daughter doesn't want to make her father worry."

"En... Yingzi, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, father..."

It really doesn't matter... because, even if the daughter can't forget it, she will just hide it silently in her heart and won't worry her father.

She is an unfilial daughter, even if she grows up, she can't do anything for her father. Her mother left their side early, and her father is only with her, but she is seriously ill, and her father has to worry about her. She can no longer add to her father's troubles...

Sudden illness

"Ahem..." The sound of violent coughing continued to come from the room, and the busy servants were running in the corridor carrying hot water.

This is what Saito saw when he came to the yard. After they had been busy for a long time, only the housekeeper discovered his existence.

"Mr. Saito, I'm sorry, Miss...is not feeling well, so please come back today." The housekeeper took the dumpling from Saito's hand and persuaded him.

"Is she... all right?" Didn't she feel fine yesterday, why did she suddenly fall ill?

"Is it...Mr. Saito?" There was a short voice in the room, but it was still heard by the two people outside.

"Miss, you haven't recovered yet, so you can't get up!" The servant's exclamation made the housekeeper frown.

Yingzi dragged her body still running high fever, and regardless of the persuasion and obstruction of the servants, she opened the door step by step, and a gust of cold wind swept in, making her shiver.

"Miss, why are you up? It's cold outside, so go back quickly. I've already taken the dumpling for you." The butler wanted to support Yingzi, but was pushed away.

"You all go down, and so do you, butler, and Tuanzi stays."

The butler originally wanted to say something, but under Yingzi's stubborn gaze, he had no choice but to leave with the servants. Before leaving, he glanced at Saito, hoping that Saito could let Yingzi go back to bed safely, otherwise the condition would worsen.Only when there were only the two of them left around, Yingzi couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

"If you are sick, you should lie down." Saito frowned, and then, regardless of what Yingzi said, he pushed her into the room and closed the paper door to prevent the outside wind from blowing in.

"This illness is actually nothing, and I have often had it before..." Yingzi's words gradually became silent under Saito's gaze, and it was strange that she was as indifferent as usual, why couldn't she justly refute at this moment? , Is it really because of illness?

Yingzi lay back under the quilt, covering half of her face with the quilt, only showing a pair of eyes looking at Saito.

"Go to sleep, you need to rest." Saito suggested.

"If I fall asleep, Mr. Saito...will you leave?" She looked at him.

"No." These two words reassured Yingzi a lot like a force, and soon fell asleep after closing her eyes.

Saito sat against the wall, took a short nap with the samurai sword in his arms.This silence gradually lasted until dusk, and the sky became a little dark when the sun went down.

Saito opened his eyes first, and kept the same posture with his shoulders a little stiff, but he also got a full rest through the nap just now, even a light sleep has never been so comfortable.Immediately afterwards, Yingzi's breathing began to change a little, and Saito knew that it was almost time to wake up.

The first thing Sakurako saw when she opened her eyes was Saito looking at her, and she couldn't help but relax a little, Saito really never left.

"Sleep?" Saito asked.

"Well, I feel much better." Yingzi nodded, at least her head was not so dizzy.

"Want to eat?" Saito pointed at the dumpling.

"En..." Sitting up from the bed, the sudden dizziness made Yingzi lose consciousness for a moment and fell backwards. Saito supported her precarious body in time.

"Are you all right?" Is this much better?

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Yingzi's face turned red, and it was the first time she looked at him so closely.

"The face is so red, and the fever hasn't subsided?" Saito was puzzled, why did he turn red all of a sudden.

"No, it's not..." Sakura smiled awkwardly.

Fortunately, Saito didn't ask any more questions, which made Yingzi feel a little relieved and depressed at the same time.She picked up the dumpling and ate it. In the quiet room, she could only hear the sound of the dumpling being chewed in her mouth. When she turned her head inadvertently, she found that Saito had been staring at her. Yingzi immediately choked up, and Saito helped her Shun back.

"No one will fight with you." You can choke on a dumpling, Yingzi is depressed, how many times will she lose face in front of him...

"Mr. Saito, what were you looking at just now?" Sakurako asked out of curiosity.

"Tomorrow is the last day of the festival..." The answer was obviously out of question.

"Huh? But I..."

"Your illness is troublesome." Saito commented lightly.

It's a pity that I can't go out because of illness. Tomorrow is actually just a matter of passing. You can take Sakurako with you when you patrol, but you don't have to think about it, and you know that Mr. Baili will definitely not agree.

"Mr. Saito... How about this, if my illness recovers tomorrow, take me to the festival, and my father doesn't need to let him know, he won't allow me to go out."

"Okay..." Saito smiled.

The moment she heard Saito's promise, Sakurako hoped that her illness would get better soon. This was the first and last festival with Saito, and Sakurako didn't want to leave any regrets.

"Then it's a deal, I'll come here and wait for you at the same time."

"En!" The time to say goodbye always passes quickly, Sakurako waved her hand and watched Saito leave, although most of the time was spent by herself, but because of this, there was a moment that made her excited enough for the whole night reason.

She has been looking forward to the festival for a long time, let alone being with Saito, how can she be unhappy.But before that, she has to think about how to hide it from her father, the housekeeper is sure
