Chapter 158 The King Meets the Dragon, the Meeting between Nioh and the Dragon of Kyoto [5500]
In the next few days, Qingdeng's life was peaceful and happy.
It feels so good to have a lover.
This kind of real feeling, as if there were armor and weakness at the same time, made Qingdeng deeply fascinated by it and couldn't extricate himself.
Whether in his previous life or this life, this is the first time Qingdeng has had a real girlfriend.
In the past few days, Qingteng has almost...no, correction, there is no "almost" at all! Qingteng is completely with the Chief Secretary every day!
Because of the "five-year agreement" between Seito and Souji, and because Souji does not want to announce her true gender for the time being (because being a man is more conducive to her studying swordsmanship, she wants to continue to practice swordsmanship quietly)
relationship, the two did not publicize the breaking news that "they are private lifelong lovers", and the two are currently in a relationship like an "underground couple".
There are about a dozen residents in the trial house, and there are so many people walking around in the trial house every day. Logically speaking, this young couple should not be able to find any place or good opportunity for a tryst.
.
However, don’t underestimate human creativity!
Qingnog didn't know what Souji was thinking. Anyway, he was obsessed with this "sweet smell of love".
I have formed a special bond with a certain girl, and when I think of her face I can't help but smile infatuatedly; I wish I could stay with her every day, even if I chat with her all day long about nothing nutritious,
You won’t feel bored either…
This is probably the so-called "love period".
Taste the sweetness of falling in love with a girl for the first time... Intoxicated by the intense emotions of the "love period"... At this critical moment, I don't want to waste even a second, let alone "there are too many people in the test hall", even if
Even if the King of Heaven is here, don’t even think about stopping Qingteng from dating Souji, Tie Tie!
Ever since, in the trial defense hall these days, you can often see a scene like this:
Souji, who was practicing swordsmanship well, suddenly threatened to go to the toilet, and then ran out of the dojo in a puff of smoke.
Not long afterward, Qingteng said that he was tired and wanted to go down and rest for a while, so he left the dojo.
It wasn't until about half an hour or more later that I saw the general manager returning with a slightly red face and sweating.
Another example: So-and-so wanted to find Qingteng or the General Secretary when something happened. They searched all the corners of the imperial examination hall but found nothing.
Just when I was about to give up, suddenly, Seito or Souji emerged from some inconspicuous corner.
"Wow, I'm scared. Why are you here? I've been looking for you everywhere! Didn't you hear my voice? My throat hurt from shouting."
Faced with such rhetorical questions, the two often made vague remarks.
In this way, Aomori and Souji took advantage of every opportunity to find or create opportunities to be alone.
In just a few days, a deep tacit understanding was developed between them.
At present, if one of them makes a look or expression, the other person will immediately understand and look for an opportunity to escape from the current place, and then meet the other person in a nearby uninhabited place.
Thinking about it carefully... Qingto couldn't help but admire the energy of himself and Souji.
Qingdeng is very energetic - this is as it should be, after all, he possesses "Strengthening Essence +1", "Yuan Yang +1" and other talents that enhance physical energy and physical fitness.
As for why even the General Secretary is so energetic...this is actually understandable.
After all...she is a female swordsman.
I swing my sword in the dojo every day, and the amount of exercise is huge. My blood circulation is always maintained at a relatively fast state, and my own various hormone secretions are also often at a strong stage.
Therefore, the General Secretary's energy is higher than that of ordinary people, which is normal.
After each other's unremitting efforts, the two of them successfully stayed in various places such as kitchens and courtyards inside and outside the trial hall, corridors rarely passed by, alleys between houses, and remote corners behind the houses.
Dating figures and water traces.
Frankly speaking - the recent period has been one of Qingdeng's happiest times since he traveled to this era.
The feeling of having a lover who can accompany each other, support each other, improve each other, and spur each other on... is so good!
…
…
Although Japan does not have the custom of visiting relatives and friends during the New Year, it is idle time anyway, so Ayoto decided to take advantage of the New Year holiday to visit relatives and friends.
Previously, he worked with Sanako to repay the debt owed to him by Miyagawa Shunzou (Otsuki Minoru's father).
One of them accompanied Tianzhangyuan for a private visit incognito.
Later, he and the General Secretary exchanged their heartfelt opinions and made a private decision for life.
As for a girl in red who was obviously the first among the girls to meet Qingdeng... she has been very absent recently.
She disappeared directly from Qingdeng’s life in the past month...
Since he hadn't seen Kinoshita Mai for a long time, Qingto chose Chishiya as the first stop of his "visiting relatives and friends" trip.
…
…
In the second year of Wanyan (1861), January 6——
Edo, Chishiya——
Different from the fine weather that was like early spring a while ago, God seems to be trying to make up for the winter scenery that he owed in recent days. Since January 4th, it has been spraying snow on the ground.
Snowflakes picked up by the cold wind were flying all over the sky.
The cold fog that rolled into a mess obscured the view.
Wearing a bamboo hat and thick feather fabric, Qingden walked on the snow, and his feet repeatedly made a scattered "crunching" sound.
"arrive……"
Qingdeng raised the bamboo hat on his head a little and stared at the Thousand Things House not far away.
Even though he was still a short distance away, Qingden could already feel the warm breath emanating from the Thousand Things House.
Kara——Qingdeng pushed open the shop door with ease.
Meow!
The first thing that greeted Qingdeng was the sound of the big orange cat Duoduo.
What followed was a scream of surprise from a certain soft girl.
"Ah! Aoden!" Seeing that the person who came was Aoto, Kinoshita Mai's pretty face suddenly burst into an excited smile like a flower.
Plop, tap, tap... the sound of white and tender feet without socks hitting the wooden floor, moving from behind the counter to Qingdeng at an extremely fast speed.
Not far from Qingden's right front, there was a blazing oven.
Thanks to this oven, the room temperature inside Senshiya is maintained within a very comfortable range that is neither too hot nor too cold.
Therefore, Kinoshita Mai is currently dressed very coolly. She is only wearing a red kimono, and her slim feet are freely exposed outside the hem of the kimono, making her very cute.
"Ah Wu, long time no see. Happy New Year. I hope you can give me your advice in the new year."
"Well! Happy New Year to you too! Please take good care of me in the new year!"
After saying that, Kinoshita Mai changed her expression - she raised her little mouth with a sullen look on her face.
"Humph, you also know that you haven't come to see me for a long time."
"Sorry sorry."
Qingdeng clasped his hands together and lowered his head.
"I've been really busy lately. The mountains of official duties and trivial matters are eating up my time like termites. I also want to come over and play with you as soon as possible. Please forgive me."
Kinoshita Mai raised her gaze and looked straight into Qingden's eyes.
"Hmph... Okay. Qingden, you are now the division captain of the Huo Fu Thief Kai. You have a high position, so I can understand that you are busy every day... I will forgive you this time."
Although Kinoshita Mai said this, she didn't exude the aura of "I forgive you" at all.
On the contrary, it seems to be testing Qingdeng: I did say "I forgive you", but Qingdeng, aren't you going to say something to me again?
Qingteng saw through Kinoshita Mai's little thought at a glance.
He smiled slightly, then took half a step forward to stand closer to Kinoshita Mai.
"A Wu, are you free today?"
Before he could finish speaking, Qingden suddenly stretched out his right palm and grasped Kinoshita Mai's left hand.
Faced with Qingden's sudden hand, Kinoshita Mai's delicate body shook slightly for a few times. Then... nothing happened.
She did not put up any resistance and allowed Qingdeng to hold her hand. It was as if she had long been accustomed to physical contact with Qingdeng.
"I...I'm free in the afternoon..."
Kinoshita Mai stuttered in reply.
“As long as you have time!”
Qingden stretched out his other hand and took Kinoshita Mai's other hand.
"Since you are free in the afternoon, would you like to go out and play with me in the afternoon?"
"Going out for fun? Where to go?"
"Well...you can go wherever you want. I'll have a lot of fun with you today. I just think I'm apologizing for neglecting you because I've been busy with official duties and trivial matters recently."
As soon as these words came out, the emotional look on Kinoshita Wu's face suddenly disappeared.
"Then, then...then it's settled...don't go back on your word!"
After finishing speaking, Kinoshita Mai blinked hesitantly.
This look of hesitation went away just as quickly as it came.
After a while, Kinoshita Mai seemed to have made some kind of determination and took a deep breath.
Next, she made a very bold move - she pulled the catkins out of Qingdeng's palms, and at the same time stood on tiptoes, her newly "liberated" hands wrapped around Qingdeng's neck, and covered her whole body
The weight fell on Qingdeng.
"Hehe~~"
Qingdeng's ears were surrounded by a soft and pleasant breath and a string of silly giggles.
"Ha ha……"
Qingden chuckled a few times unconsciously, and hugged Kinoshita Mai with his backhand.
As for what kind of relationship he has with Mai Kinoshita now... it's hard for Qingto to explain why.
If I had to describe it to Aoto... the relationship between him and Mai Kinoshita is probably "just one step away from becoming a formal couple".
Although Kinoshita Mai, like Zuo Nako, has clearly stated that she does not want her future husband to have another woman, Kinoshita Mai is different from Zuo Nako in that her ears are particularly soft and very easy to coax.
Zuo Nazi's personality is too strong. She wants to be first in everything and is unwilling to take a back seat. Ordinary sweet words cannot impress her at all.
Therefore, if Zuo Nazi is in a mood, Qingdeng really doesn't know how to coax her.
But Kinoshita Mai is different.
Whether she is dissatisfied or angry, no matter what her mood is, as long as you say a few pleasant words to her, her mood will immediately change.
To give a vivid example... Mai Kinoshita is one of those people who, after being played by a scumbag, will say, "He's not that bad. He just praised my cooking skills yesterday" while persistently defending the scumbag.
That kind of girl.
Kinoshita Mai's character... destined her to be unable to resist Qingto's pursuit.
Qingto spotted Kinoshita Mai's personality that she didn't understand rejection and had almost zero immunity to sweet words. He used this as a starting point to launch a fierce "offensive" against Kinoshita Mai.
The pursuit methods used by Qingdeng include but are not limited to:
Suddenly holding Mai Kinoshita's hand; suddenly hugging Mai Kinoshita; suddenly hugging Mai Kinoshita and praising her for looking good in her clothes today...
In a nutshell: use different tricks to make Kinoshita Mai get used to his presence; use different tricks to coax Kinoshita Mai.
And this girl really likes this!
If you are too gentle with her, she may not appreciate it.
Being a little rough with her will actually turn her off.
After confessing his love to Kinoshita Mai and Zonazi, Aomori officially began to pursue them.
In just three months from the formal pursuit to the present, Qingto witnessed with his own eyes how Kinoshita Mai "fell" step by step in his "offensive".
First, she was very resistant to his hand-holding, hugging and other physical contact, then she only offered symbolic resistance, and finally now... not only will she no longer resist, but she will actively embrace Qingdeng.
Except for the fact that they haven't kissed or done anything further yet, Aoto and Mai Kinoshita are now just like a couple.
It's a pity... Although Kinoshita Mai has a soft ear and a weak character, she has an extremely tough attitude on some principled issues and refuses to give in at all costs.
For example: Qingdeng is not allowed to touch her body.
Once, when Aoden and Kinoshita Mai were hugging each other, they were so in love that he unconsciously raised his hand, trying to measure Kinoshita Mai's development with his hands.
Here, Qingdeng must first make a defense: His behavior at that time was definitely not lustful! It was just a temporary obsession!
As a result, as soon as her hand was raised halfway, she was dodged by Kinoshita Mai.
The reasons she gave were impeccable, and Qingdeng couldn't find any room for argument: "Grandma told me that you have to wait until the wedding night to do this kind of thing..."
Another example: firmly objecting that she is not Qingdeng’s only wife.
In order to realize the dream of "living happily with the girls he loves deeply", Aonto worked tirelessly and used various methods such as direct explanations and insinuations to instill the rationality and legitimacy of his dream into Kinoshita Mai countless times.
greatness.
However... Kinoshita Mai was completely unmoved.
No matter what Aonto said or how he explained it, Kinoshita Mai had only one attitude -
"I don't want it, I don't want it! I am enough as Tachibana Aoden's wife! I don't want to share you with other women! Especially that Chiba Saunako!"
Maybe it was because they were love rivals, or maybe it was just a matter of simple incompatibility. Kinoshita Mai hated Zonako very much and often showed her explicit hostility towards Zonako in front of Qingto.
However, Kinoshita Mai's hatred for Zuo Nazi was not the kind of hatred that wished her bad luck soon, but a... feeling that was difficult to describe.
To put it simply, Kinoshita Mai looked at Zuo Nako... a bit like looking at a competitor whom she did not want to lose to at any cost.
All in all, when it comes to the issue of "whether Aoto can be embraced by both parties," Kinoshita Mai has always adopted a tough attitude of "resolutely opposed".
Qingdeng's dream of "getting along with all the girls in harmony and treating each other as guests" still has a long way to go...
There is no need to rush into this kind of problem. At this stage, we can only slowly develop a relationship with Kinoshita Mai.
Qingto and Mai Kinoshita hugged each other for a moment, until they were both touched by each other's body temperature and breath, and then they reluctantly lowered their arms.
"Ms. Kinoshita, did you buy new clothes?"
Qingto moved his gaze and looked at Kinoshita Mai from head to toe, his eyes filled with surprise.
"Hehe~ I was discovered by you."
Aoto discovered that the clothes she was wearing were new ones, which seemed to make Kinoshita Mai very happy.
The beaming Kinoshita Mai stretched out her hands and spun around twice.
"How is it? Does it look good? Does it suit me?"
Qingdeng nodded vigorously and said in a determined tone:
"Hmm! Very beautiful! It suits you very well!"
Although during the period of pursuing Kinoshita Mai, Qingnog took every opportunity to praise Kinoshita Mai for her beautiful clothes, beautiful feet, this and that, but his words were all sincere.
There is a saying: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Qingteng did not tell lies with open eyes just to make Kinoshita Mai happy. He sincerely felt that every part of Kinoshita Mai's body was beautiful, even if she was only wrapped in a ragged quilt, she was still charming.
Qingden Shicai's praise cannot be said to be perfunctory, but it is definitely not grand - but it is enough.
This level of praise was enough to keep Mai Kinoshita entertained for a long time.
"Hehe~Thank you~~I also think this dress suits me very well!"
Kinoshita Mai raised her hands to hold her face, which was rapidly reddening due to shyness.
Faintly, wisps of translucent steam can be seen floating from the top of its head.
She became a "steam girl".
"This is a new dress given to me by my grandma! So I like and cherish this dress very much!"
"Grandma?" Qingdeng raised his eyebrows.
——Kinoshita Rin...
Kinoshita Mai once mentioned to Qingto: Her grandmother's name is "Kinoshita Lin".
"Yes!" Kinoshita Mai nodded obediently, "This dress is a gift from grandma!"
Kinoshita Mai planned to come to Edo to visit her grandmother during the New Year this year, but she had to break her promise because she was busy with work. As compensation, she sent this red dress, which was absolutely valuable just by looking at the fabric and stitching, to Edo.
The whole process of the household was told in detail.
After listening, Qingdeng nodded:
"A Wu, when I hear you introduce your grandma, I always think she is a very scary person. I didn't expect her to be surprisingly gentle..."
"Grandma is usually very strict and scary, but I know: she is just cold-faced and warm-hearted! Her character is much gentler than she looks on the outside!"
After saying that, Kinoshita Mai showed a proud and happy expression.
——A Wu’s grandma...
Qingdeng took a long breath.
As long as Qingto still wants to marry Kinoshita Mai, then the family behind Kinoshita Mai will definitely become a existence that Qingto has to deal with.
Kinoshita Mai's grandmother was someone who would personally choose and give a new kimono to her granddaughter in order to apologize to her. After learning this information, Aonto couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
For Qingdeng, he is naturally happy to see that the woman's family members are all kind-hearted people who are easy to get along with.
Speaking of the woman's relatives... Qingdeng raised his head and glanced around him.
"Awu, where is Boss Kiryu? Is he out?"
It's shameful to say... He was busy chatting with Kinoshita Mai, so gentle that he completely forgot about the existence of his master...
"Mr. Kiryu didn't go out, he..."
Kinoshita Mai's words suddenly stopped.
Before Qingto could ask "What's wrong?", he saw Kinoshita Mai's face showing "Ah, I'm such an idiot! How could I forget such an important thing?"
"Aoden, I forgot to tell you! An elder I like very much came to Edo, and he said he wanted to see you!"
"elder?"
Qingdeng’s doubtful question came just moments before—
"Huh? Ah Wu, why is it so noisy? Are there guests coming to the door?"
A loud sound, a loud voice that was strange to Qingden, sounded from deep in the back corridor of Qianshi House.
Immediately afterwards, a huge figure came into Qingdeng's eyes.
"Huh? Oh! I must be the 'Nioh' Tachibana Aoden! Oh, I've been waiting for you! If you don't come, I want to go directly to the trial defense hall to find you! Oh oh
, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I forgot to introduce myself! It’s the first time we meet, I’m Shimakimura Yahachi!”
