In the end, it was Lan Tang who sent Jade Bird back to the bookstore.

"Que, we are friends, and that won't change," Lan Tang said.

Qing Que was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Well, this will not change."

The man smiled and turned back into the night.

Qing Que entered the bookstore and saw Tsu Meiki who was cleaning.

"Tsun Meiji, is everyone there?" Qing Que asked.

Seeing Qingque come back, Jin Meiji smiled immediately, "Sister Que!"

"I'm back." Qingque patted the little girl's head, "Is Tsumiki helping with the cleaning? What a good boy."

Tsumiji blushed slightly, "I, I just did something I could do."

"Teacher!" Zhongya said happily when he saw Qingque after coming out of the kitchen.

He quickly ran to her side, checked up and down, and was relieved to make sure there was nothing missing.

"It's great that the teacher is fine!"

Qing Que patted the young boy's head, and withdrew his hand a second before the other party was about to feel ashamed again.

"Has Tsumiki's room been cleaned up?"

"It's already packed! I like it very much!" Tsumiki replied, "Brother Chuya is also very good and takes special care of me!"

"Oh, as expected of Chuya."

At night, Qingque checked the homework of Chuya, Shirase, and Yuxing. After confirming, she let the three children go back.

Of course, there are little candies that everyone has, and even Tsumiki got two.

"Zhong Ye learns things so quickly." Qing Que looked at the paper in his hand and sighed.

Tsumiji stood aside, looked at the paper in her hand, and asked, "Didn't Brother Chuya go to school?"

"In the case of Zhongye, there are more important things to do." Qingque said with a smile.

Tsumiji blinked, thought for a while, and finally understood the meaning.But she didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, "I see, Sister Que."

"Tsu Miki is working hard too. She has to go to school tomorrow, so she should go to bed early."

"Well! I see! Sister Que should also pay attention to her body."

The little girl went upstairs to rest.

Qing Que didn't go upstairs immediately, but opened the door of the bookstore and stood at the door.

I don't know how long it took, and finally a figure wandered to the door of the bookstore.

The little boy was in a mess, his hairy head was stained with dust, and there were a few bloodshot streaks on his cute face that looked like he was scratched by an animal.The clothes were also in a mess, and there was even a hole in the corner of the clothes.

"Azhi, you're back." Qingque waved at the young man.

Dazai remained expressionless, and stood at the door for a while, looking at Qingque.

"Even in summer, the wind at night will be very cold." Qingque sighed and said, "Also, if the wound on the face is not treated in time, it will be infected."

The young boy's expression turned confused for an instant, but in just an instant, he changed back to his previous appearance.

"Ah Que, it hurts so much~" Dazai stepped forward and grabbed Qing Que's hand.

Qing Que took a close look at the bloodstains on the boy's face, "Did it get scratched by a small animal?"

"Hmm~ I found a rope that is very suitable for hanging, but a dog ran out next to it! It's too scary, this kind of creature!"

Qingque chuckled, "So, did Azhi do something?"

Dazai looked aggrieved, "I just ate its dog food in front of its face."

Qing Que was stunned, apparently unable to react, "Did you eat its dog food? Or in front of its face?"

"That's right, that's right~" Dazai still didn't realize what he had done that was so utterly unconscionable.

Qingque breathed a sigh of relief, and after a long time, she put her hands on Dazai's head and rubbed it vigorously, with a completely undisguised smile on her face.

"Hahaha! Ah Zhi, you are really...hahahaha! You are too cute!" Qing Que laughed.

I have always known that Dazai is different from ordinary children.But I didn't expect that Dazai would actually do such a heartless thing like eating the other dog's dog food in order to get revenge on the dog.

How to say, unexpected, but within reason.

"Yes, cute?" Osamu Dazai tilted his head.He didn't understand what made Qingque feel funny, and he didn't understand why Qingque suddenly thought it was cute.

When this word appeared on him, it was simply terrifying.

"Okay, come in. It's not good for your health to stand outside for too long."

Osamu Dazai was pulled into the house by Qingque, watching her close the door of the bookstore.

"You go to wash up now. Remember, just wipe the wound on your face with a towel, and don't get it in water."

Dazai's footsteps seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't move.

Qing Que held him still, and the smile on his face became softer.

She stretched out her hand and flicked Dazai's forehead a little, "I'm back to my senses, now hurry up and wash up."

"Oh." Dazai finally moved.

Qingque dug out the medical supplies from the utility room, and then waited for Dazai at the front desk.

Not long after, Osamu Dazai came out in baggy pajamas.Obviously, he didn't obediently obey, the wound on his face was torn even worse, his face was red and red, and it hurt to look at it.

When Qingque saw it, she didn't say anything, she just found a small bench and pulled him to sit down.

"It will hurt a little, so Ah Zhi has to bear it."

"Ah, you need to be lighter~"

Then it was quiet.

White cotton was stained with iodine and applied to the wound.

Osamu Dazai immediately grinned in pain, his head was about to shrink back.

"Aji, don't hide behind."

"But it hurts!"

"If the wound is infected, you will have a fever. If you have a fever, you won't be able to eat crab meat rice."

"……Oh."

Osamu Dazai finally settled down.

Finally, after disinfecting and applying medicine to Dazai, Qingque put a bandage on his face.

"Pay attention these few days, and don't press down when you sleep, do you understand?"

"...I want to listen to a lullaby."

Qing Que packed up the medicine box, and nodded with a smile upon hearing this, "Okay."

Dazai's eyes lit up immediately, he waited for Qingque to finish packing, then he ran upstairs with Qingque.

Opening the bedroom door, Dazai took out Qingque's bedding, spread it out, and then quickly got into the bed.

"I'm ready~"

Qingque couldn't laugh or cry.

She turned off the lights in the bedroom, and then turned on the small desk lamp.

Suddenly, she remembered something, and took out a small cover from the bookcase.

The cover is black as a whole, with many small hollows around it.

She covered the small desk lamp with a cover, and suddenly, the room seemed to be plunged into a river of stars.

Small, yellow stars spread all over the room, lighting up the room and becoming a unique decoration.

"I made a small lampshade in my spare time. In this way, Azhi may be happier looking at it." Qingque said.

Dazai rolled his eyes, as if counting how many small spots of light there were on the ceiling.

The quilt covered most of his face, only revealing a pair of iris-colored eyes.The fluffy curly hair is like a ball of hair, scattered on the pillow.

Qingque reached out and patted the quilt lightly, "Now is the time for Qingque's lullaby."

As the singing sounded, the stars were turning, embellishing the night with little glimmers of light.

The soft clouds move slowly with the wind, heading for the distance.

Dazai slowly closed his eyes.

"Azhi." Qingque called softly.

The little boy closed his eyes tightly without any reaction.

Qingque sighed softly, and tidied up the bedding for the young man.

"Azhi, I hope your depression can be like the wind, let it go."

The boy still closed his eyes tightly.

Qingque turned off the small desk lamp, got up, and left the bedroom.

The door is closed.

The boy finally opened his eyes.

He kept a posture in the dark for a long time, finally he got up and turned on the desk lamp.

The stars enveloped the night again.

The boy finally relaxed his body and curled up under the blanket.

On the second day, the bookstore was open as usual.

"teacher!!!"

In the small tea room, Fujita was crying.

"Teacher, is your new one not ready yet?"

Qing Que blinked, "Well, because there have been a lot of things recently."

Hearing this, Fujita cried even louder, "Teacher, you have a lot of things to do, so what about Mr. Spicy Curry!"

"His "Mountain Bird" had a huge response, and many people sent letters! However, Mr. Spicy Curry didn't want to write a reply at all! It's nothing at all, but why is there no news about his new work!"

Qingque thought of Oda's almost dull face, and suddenly felt a little guilty.Even though she wasn't the one who made Gu Gu Jing, she was his teacher anyway.

"Xiaozhi has been busy lately, uh, maybe it's because of his busy schedule," Qingque said.

Fujita finally showed a glimmer of hope, "Really? Is it really because of being busy?"

"Hmm..." Qing Que smiled.

"Mountain Bird", with its simple and clear name, certainly attracted widespread attention in Yokohama.Some people say that spicy curry is intentional, and some people say that spicy curry is sincere.

In short, opinions vary.

Oda, who is the spicy curry himself, doesn't care much.Come to the bookstore on time every morning to check in, and then help the store.

Even because of the book "Mountain Bird", I felt a little guilty about the busier business in the store.

All in all, no sign of the next book at all.

After comforting Fujita, Qingque thought for a while, and handed half of the copy of the next book to Fujita.

"It's better to publish it in the newspaper."

Fujita was grateful.

"Please allow me to ask, what is the theme of Yamadori-sensei's writing this time?"

Qingque thought for a moment, then smiled brightly, "This is a story about a girl looking for freedom."

With that said, Qing Que paused for a while, "Maybe?"

Fujita was confused, "Maybe?"

Qingque nodded and said, "I can't define this work either. Even the word 'freedom' shouldn't be defined."

Fujita seemed to understand, and left holding the copy.

Qingque closed the door of the small tea room, and when she went downstairs, she happened to see Lizi and Heijing who were all ready to go.

At this time, Qingque remembered that Lizi was leaving Nihong today.

"Riko, are you ready to leave?"

"Hmm! It seems to be too fast." Riko said a little embarrassed.

Qing Que laughed, "Actually, I want to chat with Riko again."

"Teacher Que! That..." Riko Tenuchi stepped forward suddenly, and came to Qingque, "I, can I give you a hug?"

There was a strong expectation in the girl's eyes.

The next second, she was wrapped in a warm embrace.

"Riko, whether it's now or in the future, I hope you can choose what you want without regret or regret." Qingque said to the girl.

This is a blessing, with the master's joy that she is free and the sadness of being separated.

"Well, I also hope that Teacher Que can do what she wants, always, keep her heart!" Lizi hugged Qingque back.

"After the book is published, I will write to Riko."

"Hmm! I will definitely come back to visit Teacher Que!"

Riko waved goodbye to Qingque.

Her smile was unprecedentedly brilliant.Her eyes are shining brightly, and the life in full bloom is like a sunflower blooming towards the sun.

Qingque smiled and waved goodbye to her.
