[Bo Yinggui] A gentleman, good day!

One night passed, and Saito, who was used to getting up early, took care of himself and opened the door. The rain had stopped, but there was still water on the ground, and there were faint footprints in the corridor from yesterday.Thinking of how much Ye Xinlan didn't like to do tedious housework, Saito decided to go to the village to practice swords and clean the place first.

Skillfully rolling up his sleeves with cloth strips, Saitoichi fetched water from the well in the yard to wipe the floor. According to his previous knowledge, Ye Xinlan wouldn't get up until the sun came out, so breakfast can be made later.

When Sera came back, what he saw was Saito lying on the corridor, wiping the floor carefully.

With a pause in his footsteps, Shiliang wondered for a moment whether he had gone to the wrong place, but after seeing the familiar scenery, he was relieved, "You are... Saitoichi from the Shinsengumi? What are you doing here? ?”

Due to the heavy rain last night, she had to spend the night in Shinsengumi's village.In fact, she wanted to come back, but Harada and Ibuki refused to say anything, so she had no choice but to stay, and she left before dawn the next day. Before leaving, she only spoke to the confused Ibuki. I really don't want to see Serizawa duck again.

The two losses were due to this person, and the other party was the director of the Shinsengumi, so she couldn't act rashly.

But, who told her what happened to Saitoichi?Lansang would actually let him stay for the night?Is sanitation a prerequisite?So he mopped the floor early in the morning?

I thought so, but Shiliang subconsciously felt that this was not the case.Saito's expression when he heard Qianye Lan was like when he finally found someone important, their relationship must not be simple!

"You...you were with Ibuki yesterday..." Saitoichi obviously didn't know Sera, he only remembered that Sera and Ibuki sent the drunk Serizawa duck back to the village yesterday, Harada seemed to call him Sera yesterday?Seems to be familiar with Lan Sang...?In addition, the men's clothes on his body are obviously not Lansang's size, could it be...

Then Shiliang's answer confirmed Saitoichi's guess, "I am Shiliang, a follower of Lansang. Don't bother Mr. Saito with these hygiene, just leave it to me." After speaking, he stretched out his hand, wanting Saito Yi handed her the rag in his hand.

Saito turned a blind eye to Shiliang's outstretched hand, his face was paralyzed, and he said solemnly: "Don't bother, this is what I should do." Thinking back when he and Ye Xinlan lived together in the medical center, how hygienic they were He didn't do it, he's used to it.

What to do?Could it be that he used to take care of Qianye Lan's daily life just like her?Shiliang thought about it, and said with the same expressionless face: "It's rare to have a guest at home. If you let the guest do such a thing, Lansang will blame me for not knowing how to treat guests, so leave it to me! You won't Make it difficult for me?"

Saito tightened his hand holding the rag slightly, and drops of water overflowed and fell to the ground. He stared at Shiliang coldly for a while, and Shiliang looked at him without flinching. There seemed to be flickering lights in the air. spark.

Slight footsteps gradually sounded from the other side of the corridor. Ye Xinlan, who had just woken up, covered her mouth with her hands and yawned, as if she had just discovered these two people, and said in surprise: "Oh, what's the matter? Shiliang, you Why did you come back? Could it be that you have gone to Ruanrou Township? "

Saitoichi and Shiliang withdrew their gazes at the same time, and turned to look at Ye Xinlan. She seemed to be in good spirits, so while she was relieved, she became nervous because Ye Xinlan paid attention to Shiliang first.

Shiliang smiled slightly, and said to Ye Xinlan rather ambiguously: "Lan Sang, don't make fun of me, I know that you are what I care about most..." After a pause, when he caught sight of Saito's slightly frowning eyebrows from the corner of the eye, More and more sure of his guess.So he went on to explain: "Because of the heavy rain, I had to stay in the village after sending off Mr. Serizawa yesterday."

When Ye Xinlan heard Shiliang's first words, she raised her eyebrows, subconsciously looked at Saitouichi, and immediately looked away, abnormally did not refute Shiliang's ambiguous words, because she knew what Shiliang said was true , Shiliang really cares about her the most, because her research is the way for her to improve her strength.

"Since this is the case, then you should clean up well and let Mr. Saito clean up! I won't eat breakfast today, because there is a patient who needs to go see." If it wasn't for a patient who was going to visit the doctor, she wouldn't be doing this Get up early.And with Shiliang around, why do these dirty jobs by himself?

Shiliang should be, turned to look at Saitoichi, and stretched out his hand again to signal, the corner of the mouth slightly curved, it seemed to be the smile of the winner?

Saito silently let go of the deformed rag in his hand, but instead of handing it to Shiliang, he said to Ye Xinlan, "I can help too."

"Mr. Saito, don't you plan to go back to the garrison? Last night, Mr. Saito didn't go back all night. The people in the Shinsengumi were worried, and almost all sent out to find your whereabouts. Mr. Harada managed to persuade him, so he held back and didn't move. If they don't go back this morning, they won't be able to sit still. I'm really envious, Mr. Saito is very important to them like this kind of companionship?" Shiliang said in an extraordinary way After a few words, there was even an expression of envy.

"Shiliang is right, you should go back early." I didn't go back all night, I wonder if the people in the Shinsengumi would be so anxious that they couldn't sleep?It wasn't until this time that Ye Xinlan really realized that Saitoichi was no longer the lonely boy he was back then, he already had a companion who could trust his life and death.

As soon as Saito heard what Sera said, although he knew that he had no good intentions, he understood that it was indeed something the Shinsengumi would do.The Shinsengumi is also important to him, especially Mr. Hijikata and Mr. Kondo, who were the first to recognize that he holds a knife in his left hand.During the days in the test guard hall, he received a lot of favors from them. Although he joined the Shinsengumi because he wanted to repay the favor, he also sincerely trusted those companions, because they also trusted him.He really shouldn't just stay out at night without saying anything, he must go back to the village as soon as possible.

However, knowing that he knew, he was reluctant to leave Ye Xinlan's side.That's why she felt lost after hearing Ye Xinlan's words. She didn't seem to care whether he was by her side or not.

"I see." Saito Kazu finally put the rag in Sera's hands, tore off the cloth strips that rolled up his sleeves, saluted slightly, turned and went to the guest room.He wants to change the clothes on his body and put on his own clothes that are not yet dry.

After watching Saito leave, Ye Xinlan put away the smile on her face, and glanced at Shiliang, "I don't know, when will you be my 'family'? If you have time to talk about things, why not do things well , have you forgotten your purpose?" Taking two steps forward, Ye Xinlan whispered to herself when she passed Shiliang, "The experiment is getting more and more boring, should I stop it?"

Shiliang's pupils shrank and her lips were pursed tightly. She knew this was a warning to her.A warning for trying to meddle in the affairs between Chiba Arashi and Saitoichi!

……

Ye Xinlan packed up the tools for medical treatment and put them in the medicine box one by one. She just walked out of the house with the medicine box on her back, when she found Saitoichi who was leaning against the wall and seemed to be waiting for someone.

"What... are you doing here?" There was a faint guess in her heart, Ye Xinlan had some expectations but she spurned this expectation.

"I'll see you off, and I'll go back later." Thinking of the scene where Ye Xinlan was surrounded by three men last night, Saito felt that no matter what, he couldn't let Ye Xinlan go out alone, so after thinking about it, he decided to send Ye Xinlan to the destination first. Go back to the village, anyway, it's still early.

Ye Xinlan wanted to refuse, but found that Saito had a resolute expression on his face, an expression that would never change his mind.

"Well, if you insist."

After finishing speaking, Ye Xinlan took the first step forward, and Saito followed quickly. This time, he didn't walk behind her, nor did he walk in front of him. They were shoulder to shoulder, within a fist's distance of each other.

The place Ye Xinlan was going to was not too far away, it would only take half an hour on foot.For such a long time, if the two of them were silent along the way, it would be too boring, and they had to say something to pass the time.

"Have you met any interesting people or things in recent years?"

Saito was startled for a moment before realizing that Ye Xinlan was taking the initiative to chat with him. Does that mean... "Aren't you angry?"

Ye Xinlan rolled her eyes, is she such an angry person?Besides, his explanation yesterday... Ahem, she is quite satisfied.And... "I told you I'm not angry!"

"Yes, you are not angry." The tone was so perfunctory that a certain woman gritted her teeth and said, "Saito!"

When Saitoichi heard Ye Xinlan address him, he frowned indistinctly, "Why, don't you call him by name?" Just now, in front of Shiliang, she called him Mr. Saito or something. A few years ago, she didn't directly Did you call him Yijun?

"What?" Ye Xinlan was stunned for a moment, only to realize that Saitoichi's topic spanned such a large arc, "Isn't this easy?"

Finding that Saito was a little puzzled, Ye Xinlan even patiently explained, "Saito (Saito) has two syllables, 一 (Hajime) has three syllables!"

"..." Saito was silent for a while, it turned out to be the reason.

Ye Xinlan didn't notice the people around her talking for a long time. Ye Xinlan turned her head to look, only to find that he pursed his lips and looked straight ahead. At first glance, it seemed that there was no difference, but if you look carefully, you will find that his expression is more serious than usual. Stiff, this is a sign of his bad mood.

Bad mood?Could it be because she didn't call him by his name, so she made a fuss?Ye Xinlan thought silently.

"Saito..." Ignore him.

"Saito-kun..." ignored.

"...Yijiang~!" Finally looking over, Ye Xinlan wiped away the sweat that didn't exist. Was it really because of the awkward address?
