[Thin Sakura Ghost] Tongqi

Leaning sideways in the exquisitely decorated boat, the top cover carved with fine lines blocks the scorching sun, but it has not been able to dissipate the heat.

It's midsummer.I opened the curtain on the wooden window and looked out the window sideways. The sky was clear outside, and the clear blue sky reflected the clear water of the lake.

"To cool off the heat."

I turned my head and looked at Toshizo Hijikata who broke the silence. While speaking, he handed over a plate of watermelon flesh that had been gouged out into hemispherical grains. The grains were crystal clear and moist with a sense of coolness.

I thanked him and took it, picked up a chopstick and poked a grain into my mouth, immediately a gust of cold air filled the whole mouth, even my hot and dry body was relieved.

"It's so cold." I opened my mouth slightly, and fanned my mouth with my left hand without chopsticks.

"It's okay, I still know it's cold." He responded, and with a slight smile for some reason, he lifted the curtain of the wooden window with his chin in his hands, "You can watch it if you want, why are you so restrained."

Also, why are you so restrained.I spit on myself secretly, then put another watermelon in my hand and started to chew, the juice overflowed immediately, and my mouth was full of fragrance.Speaking of which, how did I get on this small boat inexplicably?

I poked my head out and roughly saw the boatman propping up the pole at the stern without haste. The cold and sweet smell of watermelon lingered around, and the weather seemed to be less hot.

Hijikata Toshizo agreed because his mouth was faster than his mind.It took me almost three years to get rid of this bad habit, but it just relapsed completely, leaving no room for it, completely relapsed.

I don't know what I will do when given another chance to choose, I only know the humble gesture Hijikata Toshisan never had before, pushing me, ordering me, begging me.Before I could even think about it a second time, I nodded.

Such a man with his head held high, such a man who is neither humble nor overbearing in front of Isamu Kondo, and mighty in front of Serizawa Kamo treats me like this, are you flattered?Thinking about it now, it is still not at all. What came to my heart at that moment was apology and guilt, but it was not all.I don't intend to delve into those unexplainable impulses.

"I arranged for dinner to go with me when the sun is less poisonous."

I swallowed the watermelon in my mouth, and remembered Nagakura Shinpachi's words, public money?So it's embezzlement?It was obvious that the method in the game was drawn up by him, Toshisan Hijikata, as if he had caught his little tail, he felt a little excited.

"Nah." I imitated Okita Souji's tone, twitching the corners of my mouth, "Mr. Hijikata embezzles public funds so coolly, does the whole team know?"

Tukata Suisan raised his eyebrows, poured himself a cup of tea and slowly brought the cup to his mouth, "Then you will be counted as a gangster, and you should be seppuku according to the team rules."

I shrank my neck, "What, I was wronged."

Hijikata Toshisan glanced at me, picked up a piece of pastry, "Look, it turns out that even the booty is still on him."

When he said that, I panicked. I was assisted by Shannan Jing to popularize the science earlier, and seppuku requires a cut from left to right on the stomach, and then a cut from top to bottom. If you think it’s just a cut in the skin and bleeding, it’s a big mistake Wrong, the knife cut extremely deep, that's probably the end of it.

"At that time, I will kindly intervene for you." He added without haste.

I made a big move.It completely made up for the scene where the bloody head in front of him fell to the ground and rolled around.I pushed away the plate in front of me, lowered my head and unbuttoned my belt, and said, "You're fine, I can't be your scapegoat."

Before the belt unfolded half a circle, Hijikata Toshisan's big hand wrapped around my wrist. I raised my head and saw him smiling, sweeping away his gloomy appearance.

"It's all a joke." He smiled, "This money comes in a serious way, and it's my own."

My face became hot, I took my hand out of Hijikata Toshizo's, and straightened my belt in embarrassment.

For some reason, my hands didn’t listen at all, and the more I fastened the belt, the worse it became. Then froze in place.

His arms wrapped around my waist, holding the belt, and accidentally pressed against my waist.I couldn't help but hold my breath, my body gradually heated up, my hot cheeks drooped, and I was staring at the movement of that big hand.

Slender and fair.Only Hijikata Toshizo's hand was left in his mind in a daze. With the continuous movement of his phalanges, the lines of beautiful muscles continued to appear.

"Hmm." The belt was tightened, and I sighed softly and came back to my senses.

This is a narrow and short place, although I dare not look back at him, but I can also guess that he should be standing behind me slightly hunched.His moist and hot breath is right next to my ear, but the low body temperature is enough to make me feel his presence.

Hijikata Toshisan's long hair hangs down my neck like that, it's so crispy and itchy that it makes people flustered, and his unique refreshing and cool smell is drilling into my nasal cavity, my pores, my My brain occupies almost every part of my body.

"It seems that besides swordsmanship, there are many things to learn." Hijikata Toshizo said while pressing my shoulder and beckoning me to sit on the cushion.I froze and didn't move. It wasn't until he returned to the original place that he breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down with his legs on his side and muttered softly, "You are quite experienced."

"Cough, cough, cough." Hijikata Toshisan coughed fiercely, and his face was flushed with difficulty, "I learned it by seeing my sister at home doing that by accident."

"Oh oh oh? Really? Why didn't I hear the same thing?" I folded my arms and squinted at his rare embarrassing face. Ah and so on~ It’s really popular~”

Hijikata Suishan pursed his lips and turned his head, "I can't decide on my appearance."

"Huh?" I twitched the corner of my mouth.

He turned to look at me, frowning deeply: "I mean, I can't help being too handsome."

The surrounding air seemed to be frozen, probably as long as I picked up the chopsticks and tapped, some ice shards would fall.

I widened my eyes and looked at Hijikata Toshizo with a serious expression. This guy actually said this idea so seriously.He clenched his teeth, but his lips were still trembling.

"Pfft!" In the end, he couldn't hold it back, and laughed uncontrollably while clutching his stomach, "Who, how can anyone talk about themselves like that! Hahaha!"

"Hey, let me tell you." Hijikata Toshizan's face moved closer, the redness caused by coughing on his face has not faded, and the cheeks are very enchanting, "Could you be jealous?"
