[Gintama] Riding on the back of the Silver Dragon

Winter is coming to spring, and summer is coming again, but this summer, it always feels cooler and more comfortable than in previous years.

However, although this year's summer is relatively cool, but...

"Cold and fever, what's going on? Can anyone tell me what Mr. Gui has done these two days?" Taking out the thermometer from the boy's mouth, looking at the number clearly exceeding the standard, the doctor frowned.The black-haired boy on the bed had a flushed face, shortness of breath, a pair of dull eyes, and a towel for cold compresses on his head. He looked very ill.Gui has always been a child with all-round development in civil and martial arts, and pays attention to various health matters, so his physical fitness is quite good, and he doesn't look like he will have a fever and get sick in the hot summer.

Matsuyo shook his head, Takasugi also said he was not clear, only Gintoki broke the news directly: "The guy with the wig broke up with him a few days ago, so he went outside every night to blow the cold wind and came back in the middle of the night, I guess that's the reason. "

"...Yinshi, how did you know?" Songyang asked curiously, and immediately saw Yinshi's disgusted face—of course, it was Gui who was still lying on the bed weakly at this time, "The night before yesterday, I asked you to go to bed before going to bed." I went to the toilet and saw him quietly running out of the house, so I followed him curiously, and then saw him running to Mrs. Matsumoto’s house at the entrance of the village, and stood like a fool for a long time before coming back..."

"Yinshi, don't...don't say it..." Before Yinshi finished speaking, Gui interrupted him with difficulty, but unfortunately, he had already disclosed the important content, and everyone fell into the " So that's how it is", the eyes that looked at the seriously ill boy became more sympathetic.

Mrs. Matsumoto at the entrance of the village is 24 years old. She is a well-known beauty, virtuous and ill-fated in the village.She married her childhood sweetheart husband that year, but soon after they got married, her husband embarked on the road of fighting against barbarians because of his passion, and died in battle in just over a year. Since then, the woman has been alone to take care of her seriously ill mother-in-law, Maintain the family, but last year, her mother-in-law also passed away.The village mentioned this lady mostly with sympathy, and Gui and this lady's husband's family seem to have a distant relationship, and they are relatively close on weekdays. Now that I think about it, he actually likes that lady. The widow is a little unbelievable, but it seems reasonable.

"I heard that Mrs. Matsumoto is going to remarry recently, that's why Kotaro is broken in love..." Matsuyo held his chin and thought for a moment, "Ms. Matsumoto is gentle, virtuous and beautiful, and Kotaro will fall in love with her when he was young. Such a mature and attractive woman is no wonder."

"Old...teacher..." Gui seemed to have not expected that his somewhat unethical youthful thoughts would be exposed by his teacher, a gleam of light rose in a pair of brown eyes, but it quickly dimmed, "but ...What's the use, just like what the teacher said, I have more than ordinary feelings for people who shouldn't have feelings, but she can't possibly like me, and she's going to get married soon, I...I really Although I have no position at all...Mr. Songyang, can you understand..." Somewhat self-defeating, the young man frankly expressed all his thoughts, but his teacher could not comfort him.

Songyang shook his head, with a serious expression on his face, "I'm sorry, Kotaro, I can't lie to you that I can understand your pain, I..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the woman, "I can understand you" up.

Everyone in the room looked at the doctor with surprised eyes, but she did not dodge at all. She looked at Gui with a very clear and gentle gaze, and Songyang could see that she did not choose to lie out of comfort to Gui. I really think that I can understand Gui's mood at this time.

"Doctor...? Can you understand me? Don't you think... this is naive?" The boy on the hospital bed asked with difficulty, while the woman shook her head and denied, "Naive? The hardest question."

As soon as the name "the most incomprehensible in the world" came out, everyone quietly waited for the doctor's next words. She took a deep breath and looked up slightly, as if recalling something. After a while, she slowly Slowly said:

"That is--'the person you love deeply, deeply in love with someone else, what can you do?" This question, in another 1000 years, I think it will be difficult for anyone to give an answer. I like When you were your age, you once thought hard about this question, but you couldn’t get any answer in the end. At that time, I was more miserable than you. I abandoned my studies and stayed at home for a few months. I was anorexic and insomnia. That’s me too. The most memorable period of time so far——Well, Mr. Gui, if you don’t like my preaching, let me tell you about my story back then?”

"When I was young, I liked my neighbor's elder brother very much. He wanted to be his bride when he grew up. But he always regarded me as his younger sister. Later, he dated other people. After I found out about this, I was greatly affected. It was a shock, but it was not as serious as what I just said. Later, he had a conflict with his girlfriend and was depressed. I didn’t know where the courage came from at that time, so I confessed to him, but he actually And accept it."

"At the beginning, I was very happy, because I was looking forward to walking with him as a lover since I was a child, but then I felt that when he was with me, whether it was dating or kissing, he was very absent-minded. , until one day, I saw him kissing his girlfriend, and I didn't know that they didn't break up at all. I was angry and sad, so I ran to his girlfriend and made a big fuss. He was also very embarrassed. As a result, her girlfriend said that I was the third party who destroyed the relationship between her and her boyfriend, and he probably did not stand by me at all because I embarrassed him. After that, I was so devastated that I practically shut myself in for a few months. Later, I had a few relationships with other people, but also short-lived relationships. By the time I graduated from school, I had enough failed relationships to write a novel."

"What an exaggerated guy! Doctor, how could you like this kind of person back then!" After hearing this story, Gao Shan boy was the first to express his dissatisfaction. The doctor waved his hand and denied: "In fact, he has always been very gentle to me. , but I was too young and naive at that time, thinking that as long as everyone knew the relationship between me and him, he would not leave me, but in the end, he was pushed further and further away, and in the end, he couldn’t even be friends. Once a man made up his mind He doesn't hesitate or sympathize with leaving a woman—I didn't know that at the time." Her tone was calm, as if she was telling someone else's story.

"But in this relationship, the biggest mistake I made was that I shouldn't have tried to get it back after knowing that he hadn't actually broken up with his girlfriend. I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have liked, Gui Jun, so I said , I can understand you. But it is precisely because I can understand you that I know that now that you are immersed in this relationship, it is difficult to listen to other people's persuasion-I was persuaded by many friends to break up as soon as possible. But I am determined to go my own way, and I think so are you."

"Then... what should I do? Doctor, how did you get out?" Gui, who was so excited, even wanted to force himself to sit up, and the towel on his forehead was also crooked. The woman hurriedly pressed him down and comforted him. :

"Calm down, time is the panacea for healing. Your task now is to recuperate well and try to divert your feelings. Mr. Gui is a samurai, right? For a samurai, there should be many more things to do, right? When you are busy with other things, you will find that your mood will gradually fade away. I was busy with my admission to medical school, so I gradually forgot about him. When I was admitted to university, I realized that I had I don't care at all, because there are more worth doing and learning for me."

She didn't know how much this boy could listen to her experience, but seeing his troubled but clearly thoughtful expression, she knew that she had succeeded.

By the time Gui Anxin fell asleep, the sky outside was slowly getting dark.Everyone left Gui's room lightly, and then Yinshi commented:

"The doctor is so mature, he can actually convince the stubborn head of the wig."

"Because I'm a few years older than you guys, and I've seen so many things like this—not just me, but also my friends." The woman smiled casually, "Mr. Gui's situation is much better than mine was before. Yes, he was a very strong boy."

"Speaking of which, doctor, you have a rich relationship history, hey~teacher~" the boy dragged out his tone, and looked at his teacher with meaning in his eyes, but Songyang, who was called by him abruptly, looked at a loss , it seems that he has been distracted from the very beginning, which made the boy who did not receive the expected response from the teacher suddenly feel bored and kept silent.

"It's getting dark, I'll send the doctor back to the clinic, you go and do your own thing." When Teacher Songyang said this, Gao Shan and Yinshi immediately expressed their understanding, and turned back to the village school, leaving only her and the young man.The woman was pushing the bicycle, and the young man was accompanying her. As soon as she left the village school, the young man thanked her and said:

"Thank you for helping to give Xiaotaro psychological counseling."

"It's nothing. It's normal for teenagers of this age to fall in love with older women, which corresponds to the so-called 'Oedipus complex'. Besides, I heard that Gui Jun's mother died young, so it's even more normal." The woman emphasized Dao, and stopped at the same time, "A teenager's mind is very fragile and sensitive, especially at this age. Mr. Songyang, you need to pay more attention."

"I see, Doctor Renjian." The young man nodded seriously, and suddenly laughed, "Sometimes I really think that you are more suitable to be their teacher than me, and your comfort to Xiaotaro today is a thousand times better than mine .”

"Hey...? Why did you say that all of a sudden? I...is this normal? When teenagers are troubled by love, it's usually very helpful for people who have come here to talk about their own experience? But this is what you should have said in the first place!"

"Ah...Even if I want to say it, I don't think there is anything to say... No, doctor, let's not talk about this topic." The young man seemed to avoid the important thing and gave up the topic voluntarily, which made her want to say a few more words I can't even speak.For a while, the only sound between the two of them was the grunt of the wheels when the bicycle was being pushed.

On a July night, the edge of the field was very quiet, with the occasional chirping of insects and frogs, but it only seemed more silent.The wind at night was very cool and comfortable, and the trees not far away made rustling sounds under the wind. The woman's long hair was messed up by the wind, and she had to raise her hand to remove the strand of hair that blocked her vision. , at this moment, she heard the voice of surprise from the young man.

"Doctor Hasumi, look up."

She stopped according to what he said, looked up, and saw the starry sky tonight was magnificent, a Milky Way hanging like a waterfall above the complicated night sky, countless stars burning themselves tirelessly, emitting dazzling light, Like a wonderful scene like a Wanhua mirror, she can even see the Big Dipper on the other side of the sky.

"It's beautiful—but why so suddenly?" She asked, and the young man replied with some regret: "I saw a shooting star just now, and I wanted you to see it too, but it turned out to be too fast."

Meteor... Is this person supposed to be romantic or childish?She was both helpless and touched, but the starry sky tonight was really beautiful, and she couldn't help but stop and watch with him. Suddenly, she saw a starry sky somewhere, and a silver light quickly pierced the sky. It was fleeting, which made her also yell out "ah".

"There are really shooting stars."

"Right? Have you made a wish?" Songyang asked her with a smile, "I heard that if you make a wish under the shooting stars, your wish will definitely come true."

"I'm not a girl in high school anymore... But, the shooting star was too fast just now, and I didn't have time to think about it." She honestly denied it, but soon, the young man seemed to remember something, and said to her:

"Speaking of which, today is July [-]th, which is the so-called Qixi Festival. Doctor Hasumi, have you heard of the legend of Qixi Festival? It is said that July [-]th is the day when Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet, and magpies form Milky way, welcome them to meet. Maybe the starry sky we are looking up at this time, they have already met by stepping on the Milky Way we see."

"Cowherd, Weaver Girl..." the woman murmured and repeated, she saw the young man was still looking up at the sky, his eyes were long, as if he had passed through the night sky as far as he could see, and stepped towards a more distant place universe.What did he see?she does not know.

"Songyang..." She called out unconsciously, but when he looked back at her and waited patiently for her to speak, she pressed her lips together again, "It's nothing." She didn't say anything more , but he didn't know that his face at this moment fell into his eyes, and the emotions in those eyes looking at the young man were so complicated.

At that moment, what she was thinking was: Cowherd and Weaver Girl, are they lovers?Then we... what is our relationship?

With all kinds of feelings in her heart, the surging emotions almost rushed through her rational defense line, but she finally chose to keep silent, tried her best to restrain her feelings, and covered all her feelings under this starry sky.

After a long time, she heard her own voice, very softly: "Let's go."

The rest of the road was not long, and they arrived at their destination quickly. She was about to bid farewell to Songyang, but the young man took out a small box from his arms and handed it to her.

"Doctor Hasumi, today is your birthday, right? This is a present."

She opened her eyes wide in surprise, and it took her a while to realize that she took the gift.

Today was indeed her birthday, but she hadn't officially celebrated her birthday for a long time, so she naturally thought that no one else would know about this day except herself.But he actually knew her birthday, and prepared a gift for her... She looked at the small thin box in front of her, it was not heavy, but it felt so heavy in her hands, like a thousand pieces of gold.

"Thank you, Songyang, how did you know my birthday...?"

"Secret." He didn't answer himself directly, but looked at her seriously, his eyes were so serious, looking at her so purely, as if she was the only one in his world.She just stared at him blankly like this, and after a long time, she drifted away her gaze as if she had been electrocuted.

——She really almost thought that he also had the same feelings for her, or maybe it wasn't her illusion.

"Happy birthday, Miyuki." He called her name again, and the woman trembled.This time, she couldn't restrain her feelings anymore. That kind of turbulent emotion, like a fire sealed in ice, could not be extinguished in the darkness and cold, and burned quietly, but at this moment, it suddenly burst into flames, almost killing her. heart burns out.This was the first time she felt it since her first love failed, but it was more passionate and painful than Girls' Generation.

The woman stretched out her arms to hug him, the young man seemed taken aback, he didn't resist at all, but he didn't make any further movements.He neither pushed her away nor returned the same hug, allowing her to bury her face in his arms.The woman's breathing was heavy, and it sounded like she was crying. After a long time, she let him go quietly.

"Sorry, I thought I was... no, thank you for the gift."

The distance between them has always been like this, it won't be farther, but it can't be any closer.After realizing this fact, the flame in his heart returned to the ice again, and fell silent.She watched the young man leave.

The gift, she opened it and found that it was a small mirror with extremely exquisite workmanship.She opened the mirror and looked at the woman in the mirror, only to realize after a long time that she was crying silently.

That night, the crows struck and the Matsushita village school was burned. Yoshida Shoyo was taken away by the assassination organization Amaterasu under the shogunate under the pretext of "spreading heresy". Three years later, he was beheaded and executed. His head was student Takasugi Shin They were collected by the charity and brought back to their hometown, Songben Village, at the site of the Songxia Village School for burial.

The author has something to say: I have the opportunity to tell you my story, but unfortunately, I don’t have this opportunity.

——BY Songyang teacher to the doctor
