Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Qianhe seemed to realize right away that she had asked the wrong question, and immediately apologized nervously: "Yes, I'm sorry! I...I didn't mean to ask..."

Realizing his gaffe, Liu Quan immediately smiled, took the opportunity to put down his chopsticks, and took a small sip of his wine.

"Ah, of course I've been here. Just think of this as an expensive restaurant where the maids in the store are all dressed up very gorgeously and beautifully. They are very knowledgeable and interesting, and they will never take the initiative to join the guests when they don't want to. Unrestrained hospitality... Shimabara also has Shimabara's rules for doing business and doing things."

Chizuru seemed relieved a little.

"It doesn't matter. The maids here are very considerate, even if they see something wrong, they will never say it." Liu Quan saw Qianhe's worry, and added in a low voice.

"Even if I recognize you as the little Qianhe from before, I will never say anything."

Qianhe glanced at her gratefully, and finally started to pick up the chopsticks, and took small bites of the delicious-looking dishes on the table.

But before taking a few bites, the sliding door of the room was gently opened.A very brightly dressed beauty appeared there.

"Good evening, gentlemen. Welcome, all of you."

The oiran Junju, who was dressed in a luxurious kimono, showed a very professional attitude even though she had dealt with the cadres of the Shinsengumi in front of her before, and greeted everyone with a polite, gentle and appropriate smile.

With a relaxed mood, looking so close, people will immediately notice her translucent white skin, soft pink lips, and silky black hair.

It is truly breathtakingly beautiful.No wonder it will become the oiran of this corner house.Liu Quan thought.

The oiran narrowed her eyes and smiled alluringly like a fragrant flower.

"Please enjoy yourself, the food and drink will be here soon."

As Jun Ju predicted, more hearty dishes will be served soon.It turned out that those dishes at first were just appetizers before the meal.

Hirasuke drank a glass of wine and sighed in satisfaction.

"High-priced wine is different! Drinking it makes your throat feel so good, it's so satisfying~!"

Shinpachi jokingly said: "Hirasuke, you haven't eaten anything since just now, you just kept drinking. Drinking on an empty stomach is easy to get drunk."

Hirasuke replied with a natural attitude: "Oh, I can't drink such expensive wine in the village, and it feels like a waste to fill my stomach with food."

Even Harada, who was the hostess of the dinner tonight, couldn't help laughing.

"It's such a poor line. Don't worry about it today, just drink whatever you want."

Hirasuke seemed to be a little drunk, and let out a completely unreliable cheer.

"As expected of a scar belly... no, no, it's the prime minister's belly!"

This specific title made Liu Quan immediately think of the scar on Harada's belly left by the failed seppuku, and couldn't help but smile.

At this time, Shinpachi finished teasing Hirasuke, and then came over to greet Chizuru who hadn't picked up the wine glass.

On the other side of the room, Junju has already begun to fulfill her responsibilities as an oiran to accompany the guests tonight, with a professional and charming smile on her face, skillfully flattering Hijikata.

"Speaking of which... I used to think that Deputy Director Hijikata of the Shinsengumi was a ghost-like person, but I didn't expect him to be a handsome, handsome man."

Even Hijikata, who is called the deputy chief of Oni, doesn't seem to like the flattery from such a beauty.A faint smile appeared on his face.

"...You really can talk."

Junju took advantage of the situation and sat beside him, pouring wine and chatting happily with him.

And Hijikata also seems to be familiar with this kind of scene, he doesn't appear to be so rigid and refuses to be thousands of miles away, but handles Yuru with a calm attitude, as if he is really used to socializing on such occasions Same.

Liu Quan held the wine glass to his lips, his eyes gliding over Tu Fang and Jun Ju, and then took a sip of the wine slowly.

The sweet and warm wine slid across his chest and fell into his stomach.Liu Quan heard Qianhe beside him murmuring in a low voice: "The so-called handsome men and beautiful women refer to this... It's like a person in a painting who walked out of a brocade painting..."

A smile could not help but appear on the corner of Liu Quan's lips.

"Don't mind too much. Qianzuru has Qianzuru's advantages." She said casually and comforted the girl beside her.

Chizuru seemed not to be comforted by her words.

"Sigh... I always feel that she has made me, who is also a woman, completely lose my self-confidence..." She murmured with emotion.

Liu Quan was slightly taken aback, and then his smile widened a little.

"Really? I don't think so...Although I am also a woman." She smiled lowly, "Looks are given by parents and cannot be changed, but there are still many advantages that can be cultivated the day after tomorrow."

Qianhe was stunned, "Really, really...?!"

Liu Quan turned his head away, his eyes shifted to Qianhe.

"Really." She confirmed softly.

"There is something in Qianhe that I envy. I think there must be something that Miss Junju envies. No matter how hard we try, we may not be able to obtain it—"

Among other things, the heroine halo on you, Xiao Qianhe, is enough for me, the cannon fodder and vicious female supporting role, to envy you...

Thinking of this, Liu Quan picked up his wine glass again, and took a small sip of the wine.

She doesn't drink very much in this life world, and it is true that she is easy to get drunk after drinking.After changing the shell in this world, the amount of alcohol has increased a lot, but the problem of flushing after drinking two glasses has been well inherited.

After drinking for three rounds, she felt her cheeks burning hot, and felt that the room with the doors and windows closed was a bit too hot, so she stood up and planned to go out for a walk in the courtyard with an excuse.

Sitting on the porch, leaning against the railing, and being blown by the night wind, Liu Quan's slightly swollen brain became sober in an instant.Hearing the faint laughter coming from the room behind her, she couldn't help but curl her lips slightly.

She didn't want to go back to that room for the time being, so she sat on the porch, looking over the dark eaves of the corner house, looking at the night sky half lit up by Shimabara's lights.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

"I was thinking about why you disappeared...and here it turns out."

Liu Quan was slightly taken aback.

"...Deputy Chief?!"

...Why is the deputy chief here? !

She turned her head sharply.

Sure enough, it was the earthwork standing there.Seeing the stunned expression on her face, he raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a subtle smile.

Across the corridor, in the room reserved by the Shinsengumi tonight, lively and joyful laughter was still heard.Harada was showing off the scar on his stomach that had not been completed, and Shinpachi and Hesuke laughed to make a joke out of that scar; Saito must have continued to drink in silence, watching the trio make a fool of themselves Aside from the laughter, Okita unexpectedly didn't make fun of other people.

And what about Chizuru?Qianzuru was probably also in that room, sitting next to someone, maybe she was also happily enjoying Harada's big scar trick performance.

...Since everyone is in that room...then why did Hijikata come out alone? !

Among the people who came to Shimabara together tonight, only Liu Quan left the banquet early under the pretext of sobering up and slipped out to breathe, and was not in that room.However, she wouldn't be so self-aware that she would mistakenly think that the deputy chief of the ghost came out to see where she went.

... The deputy chief of the Shinsengumi should not worry about the life and death of a ping corpsman, even if that corpsman is a woman.

She originally thought that Hijikata left the table for convenience, just passing by here by chance and saying hello casually after seeing her, but Hijikata didn't walk away, but walked straight over and sat down beside her.

His eyes were slightly narrowed because of the hint of alcohol, observing his face from such a close distance, it seemed that his cheeks were also stained with a layer of red, but his expression was unexpectedly soft, and he looked exactly like Qianzuru's description just now The same, for a moment it seems like a person in a painting who has stepped down from a brocade painting.

Because of her silence, he frowned slightly, and asked speculatively: "What's wrong? The food here doesn't suit your taste?"

Liu Quan realized that he had been silent for too long, and hurriedly replied: "No, it's not... It's just that I accidentally drank a little too much, so I came out to sober up."

Hijikata's brows seemed to wrinkle a little more.

"So you're sitting here blowing your hair?"

Liu Quan froze for a moment, then subconsciously nodded.

"I, I think this may clear up my consciousness..." She explained, thinking that this kind of words sounded like an excuse, but there was no better explanation.

But Tufang didn't scold her as she imagined.

He was silent for a few seconds, and just sat there sideways, with his right elbow bent and resting on the railing, looking at the distant night sky like her.His long black and straight hair fluttered gently with the cool night wind.

Liu Quan: ...So what exactly are you doing, Deputy Chief? !

But of course she didn't lack emotional intelligence enough to ask this question directly.

Shinpachi's voice came from a brightly lit room not far away, and drifted into their ears with the night wind.

"Okay! It's lively! Then Zuozhi, as usual! Perform that! Belly button dance!"

Hirasuke's cheerful shout followed.

"Come on, come on! Without this, I won't feel like I'm drinking with Zuo Zhi!"

Harada's triumphant voice came next.

"I really can't do anything about you. Since you are looking forward to it so much, I have to do it."

Shinpachi shouted happily: "Well said! Then big sister, bring your pen and ink!"

Liu Quan couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face.

"Really... I'm going to play Zuo Zhijun's stomach game again... Every time I drink, this is really a show that I can't escape..."

Hijikata listened to their noise with a gentle expression.

"...Ah, I really miss it." He said softly.

Liu Quan was taken aback.

"Remember?"

...Is it because he suddenly remembered the era of these people's test halls?

Sure enough, in the next second, he gave the same answer as she expected.

"I remembered how I drank late every night like this when I was running a poor dojo in Tama."

Liu Quan couldn't help pursing his lips and smiling slightly.

"...It's time for the health test hall... I really want to see with my own eyes what everyone looks like at that time."
