[Bo Yinggui] A gentleman, good day!

The author has something to say:

In the secluded yard, there are shadows of trees, and the snow that has been swept is piled up together, waiting for time to melt them.

Ye Xinlan sat alone on the porch, surrounded by the drinks and snacks that Shiliang had prepared for her.In fact, she prefers tea to wine, but she always needs to drink, both in Shimabara and at home.

I don't know how long she sat like this, but when she drank the wine in the glass again, she was about to take the flagon to fill the wine, but found that another hand beside her had already taken it away, and asked her to grab a piece of wine. null.

"I'm still thinking about when you will come out." Ye Xinlan said in a chatty tone without any surprise.

Perhaps because of her influence, the person who was originally a bit of an incriminating person also softened his expression, "When did you find out?" It was obviously a rhetorical question, but he used a declarative tone.

Should she say from the moment he entered the yard?Ye Xinlan smiled without saying a word, instead, she stretched out her hand in front of Saitoichi, moved her index finger slightly, and motioned him to give her the wine bottle.However, he was unmoved.

"Are you angry?" Ye Xinlan said "belatedly".

"Why did you do that?" Saito asked without answering, he really didn't understand why Ye Xinlan would target the members of the Xinsengumi so much and say such things.

Ye Xinlan smiled lowly, there was no sign of displeasure on her face, and she followed Saitoichi's example without answering questions, "Did you enjoy that scene?"

Saitoichi finally frowned at her casual attitude. His expressions were rare, and there were even fewer people who could make him change his face. Unfortunately, Ye Xinlan was the one who could make him change his face.

"Lan, why did you do that? The Shinsengumi has nothing to do with you." The only person who knows her in the group is Harada, who will offend her?Is it worth targeting them like that?Saito didn't understand, so he was very irritable. Originally, he was going to officially introduce Ye Xinlan to the team members today, but who knew...if something like this happened, the people in the team must have very bad feelings for Ye Xinlan. plans were disrupted.

Ye Xinlan leaned on the stake, looked towards the yard, and suddenly asked a very jumpy sentence, "Ah Yi, how do you feel about your life now?"

"...?" Saito was taken aback for a moment, but still answered her, "It's okay."

Fortunately, it's actually a very perfunctory answer. When a person doesn't know how to answer, he usually says it's okay.Ye Xinlan didn't know if Saitoichi was also perfunctory, so she continued to ask: "Do you think it's better now, or better before?"

"It used to be...?" Saito asked suspiciously.

"When I was at the Edo Medical Center." Ye Xinlan said indifferently, she still didn't look at Saitoichi.

Saito was startled for a moment, he felt something keenly, but couldn't explain clearly, so he could only reply: "People always have to look forward." No matter how good the past is, it is just the past, and the most important thing is the present and the future.

Ye Xinlan thought that Saitoichi felt that it was better now, and said with a faint voice that could hardly hear the emotion: "Is it because of the Shinsengumi?"

"..." Saitoichi became more and more confused, but for him, the Shinsengumi is indeed an important partner, so he nodded and said, "Everyone in the Shinsengumi is an important partner." That's why he didn't want She's against them because she's also important.

Both of these two spoke in a half-concealed way, we were so anxious after watching it!

But the person involved was not aware of this at all, Ye Xinlan finally put her gaze on Saitoichi, stared at him with emotionless eyes, and said softly like the wind: "Important partner? How important is it?" ?”

Saito pondered for a while, as if he was recalling, "Because I hold the knife in my left hand, I was despised by others more than once, and wanted me to change the way I hold the knife, but that day... I went to the Weiwei Pavilion to challenge, Knowing them was also the first time I met someone who recognized me." After a pause, he said with firm eyes: "I will protect the place where I live with these people."

—So, can you not target them?

Saitoichi didn't say this, because the way he looked at Ye Xinlan suddenly became speechless.Those bright autumn water eyes were so dark that there was hardly any halo visible at the moment.

"Papapapa—hmmm~ What a touching friendship!" Ye Xinlan applauded, and she clearly spoke words of appreciation, but her tone was so weird that she couldn't hear a little bit of admiration, but a bit of sarcasm.

What does it mean to meet someone who recognizes him for the first time?Wasn't she the one who recognized him for the first time?After saving him, who took him in regardless of his penniness?Who handed over the nursing home to him after discovering that he was good at swordsmanship?If she hadn't recognized him and his strength, would she have given these to him?Ye Xinlan felt that her lungs were going to explode with anger, but the more angry she became, the more she couldn't see it on the surface. This was already a habitual cover-up.

However, this is different after all.In Saitoichi's heart, Ye Xinlan is a weak woman who needs his protection. Subconsciously, unlike the group of people in the Shinsengumi, what he needs is the approval of the same type of people, not the appreciation of a weak woman.

"Lan!" Saito looked at Ye Xinlan with a frown, and said disapprovingly, "What's wrong with you? This doesn't look like you at all."

Although the Ye Xinlan he knew was a bit willful, she was not a person who didn't care about other people's feelings. Why did she change so much?

The smile on Ye Xinlan's face disappeared, "Not like me? Then what do you think I am?" She slowly approached Saitoichi, their faces were only a fist apart, "Do you really understand me?"

From this distance, from this angle, Ye Xinlan could clearly see Saito's moved expression, and he could see him slightly opening his lips, but he couldn't say anything, and sneered, "Look, you are not what you imagined." Get to know me then."

Reaching out to grab the wine bottle in Saito's hand, she didn't encounter any resistance this time, Ye Xinlan poured wine into the glass slowly, and said coldly: "So, don't act like you know me very well! Really! . . . boring as hell."

Saito was speechless, it was the first time he had seen Ye Xinlan who showed such undisguised coldness, that kind of aura was no less than that of a top expert, which made him feel an indescribable sense of distance for a moment.He has always regarded her as an object that needs protection, but one day, he suddenly realizes that this person may not need your protection at all, and the gap is so great that it makes people feel flustered.

Ye Xinlan looked at Saitoichi's silence, covered the self-deprecating smile on her lips with a wine glass, drank the wine in the glass, and said with a smile: "It's not too early, Saito-kun, I won't send you off."

"Wait!" Saito called hurriedly to stop Ye Xinlan who was leaving early, he always felt that if he didn't say anything at this time, he would definitely regret it in the future.

Ye Xinlan paused to save face, maybe even she didn't know the anticipation in her heart when Saito called her.

"What?" Even though there was some anticipation in his heart, his face remained calm.

Saito stood in front of Ye Xinlan, looked at her seriously, and said, "Maybe I really don't know you that well, but...we still have such a long time, I can slowly get to know you, this kind of process, Isn't it worth looking forward to? Why are you angry?" Obviously he is the one who should be angry, right?Ye Xinlan insulted his partner so unceremoniously, why did she get even more angry?And the strangest thing was that he temporarily let go of his anger just because she was angry.

Ye Xinlan saw Saitoyi's expression of not giving up when he couldn't get an answer, and said bluntly: "You said that the Shinsengumi is your important partner, and they have been kind to you. So... what about me?"

"You are kind to me too!" Saito blurted out, making Ye Xinlan's face darken. Why is this person so cute all of a sudden!She obviously didn't mean that!

So Ye Xinlan said angrily: "Then you should also repay me?"

Who knows that Saitoichi really nodded seriously, and said: "It should be like this. When I was in Edo, I had to leave because of an accident. I haven't finished reporting. If you want, I can still continue..."

"No need!" Ye Xinlan waved her hand and interrupted Saitoichi's words. It turned out that he would come to her, and he took care of her from time to time these days, just to repay her kindness?However, who cares about his gratitude!

"Saito-kun, you don't owe me anything for a long time..." No wonder!

"So, there is no need to consider the matter of repaying the favor." What needs to be considered is whether to agree with the body? !

Saito frowned and said, "But..."

"No but!" Ye Xinlan interrupted him again. She was afraid that he would say more irritating words, so she said blankly: "You already know Shiliang, right? His current job is your previous job. Also that is……"

"I don't need you anymore, Saito-kun!"

Saito shrank his pupils and stood there blankly, staring blankly at the expressionless Ye Xinlan. He wanted to see a trace of joking from her face, but found that what she said was serious.

Don't need him anymore?How could this happen... Saito, full of disbelief in his heart, subconsciously grabbed Ye Xinlan who wanted to leave, and said awkwardly: "It's not true... is it?" It's just talking angry, right?

Ye Xinlan looked at the elbow being held, her eyelashes drooped, but an emotionless smile curled up on the corner of her mouth, "It's true~ That position doesn't belong to you anymore."

Since he stayed by her side in order to repay his kindness, it was up to her to cut the silk thread that connected each other in the name of kindness.

From today on, he is just Saitoichi, and she is just Ye Xinlan.

Not benefactor and benefactor, not doctor and helper.

There is no longer any kindness or subordination between them, the relationship between them will return to the purest moment, and they will get to know each other again...

How far they can go after that depends on whether the fate is strong enough.

Unexpectedly, you guys, Yijun Xingshi went bankrupt because Sister Lan was the first to attack.As I said a long time ago, only Sister Lan is the one who dumps others, how can she be dumped, you have to believe that I am my real mother! ! !

As the saying goes, a dog will jump over the wall when it is anxious, a rabbit will bite when it is anxious, what will happen to a gentleman when he is anxious?Overlord hard on the bow? 【Mud!
