The moment he realized that the little girl was talking about her and Qingdeng, Zuo Nazi's delicate body suddenly stiffened.

Then, she mechanically turned her extremely stiff neck and looked straight at the mother and daughter who were drifting away.

Soon enough, she suddenly shook off Qingdeng's wrist - the force was so strong! Qingdeng almost thought his right arm had been thrown away!

"I'm sorry, I'm in trouble."

While Zuo Nazi apologized to Qingdeng, he elegantly raised his hands and arranged his hair in front of his forehead.

"I just got excited and accidentally made a very indecent move. Please forgive me."

A very indecent move - this of course refers to her holding Qingdeng's wrist without authorization.

Zuo Nazi spat out harsh words that had a sense of distance.

However, this is not what a person with a blushing face... no, a blushing pink face should say.

Although she tried hard to control it, the beautiful Yingxia still stained Zuo Nazi's entire face.

It's a pity that Qingdeng didn't have the opportunity to see this beautiful scene because of the obstruction of the bamboo hat.

The last time Qingden saw Zuo Nazi blush...it was at the fireworks display half a year ago.

Reserved and dignified - these are the basic qualities that Yamato Nadeshiko should have.

Looking back at my own behavior just now, it is completely contrary to these two terms.

Which Yamato Nadeshiko would flirt with a man on the street?

Thinking of this, Zuo Nazi felt more blood rushing to her head, and her face instantly turned pinker.

The general secretary, who was sandwiched between Qingdeng and Zuo Nazi, raised his head, looked at Qingdeng, and then at Zuo Nazi.

She, who was always calm and generous on weekdays, showed a rare reserved expression at this moment.

I saw Souji's shoulders tightening slightly, and his hands clasped in front of his chest tightly clasped together.

Qingdeng originally wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to tease Zuo Nazi - there were not many opportunities to tease Zuo Nazi.

However, after considering that Zuo Nazi was very thin-skinned, he finally gave up on the prank.

"Let's go back to the hotel. I'm a little tired and want to take a nap."

Qingdeng was the first to speak out, breaking the subtle atmosphere lingering between the three of them.

After saying this, he moved his steps and moved forward.

Seeing Qingdeng taking the initiative to rescue the enemy, Zuo Nazi suddenly felt "saved."

Covered by the bamboo hat, she quietly raised her gaze, secretly cast a meaningful look at Qingden who was walking in front, and then quickly followed.

Souji was stunned for a moment, but quickly caught up with Qingden.

When the three of them were walking side by side, Qingdeng suddenly deliberately slowed down and fell one position behind Zonazi and Souji.

When the two women in front of him were not paying attention, he quietly turned his head and looked at the Qingshui Tower behind him.

Looking at this lofty building that he had thrown into the distance, with only the top of the tower barely visible, Qingden softly repeated what he had just sworn to Zonazi and the General Secretary at a volume that only he could hear clearly.

ensure:

"I won't do anything stupid unless I have to..."

…

…

It's night——

Edo, a certain river beach——

Akutsu was pacing in place with an anxious look on his face.

From time to time he walked to the east, stopped for a moment, and looked at the distant sky.

Not long after, he suddenly turned around and walked a few steps to the west, then stopped and looked at the clouds in the other direction.

About 5 seconds later, he turned around again and walked back to where he was just now...

Seeing Akutsu being so restless, my grandson, who was sitting cross-legged not far away, said in a helpless tone:

"Akutsu-kun, please be patient and find a place to sit and rest."

As soon as my grandson's suggestion came out, Akutsu immediately frowned.

He stopped and turned his head.

An unfriendly gaze suddenly fell on my grandson.

Nishino and Akutsu are not familiar with each other - after all, they just met each other not long ago.

However, judging from Akutsu's appearance and his daily behavior, Nishino is sure that he is a person with a bad temper.

Nishino originally thought Akutsu would quarrel with my grandson.

But who would have expected that after Akutsu glared at my grandson a few times, he actually found a relatively clean place to sit down.

Seeing this, Nishino couldn't help but whisper to my grandson beside him:

"You are quite prestigious."

My grandson smiled slightly.

"No, no. I am a relatively young person in the Great Salt Party, and I have never made any great achievements. The reason why Akutsu listens to me is simply because - he is a good boy."

As soon as my grandson finished speaking, Akutsu immediately reprimanded:

"Hey! What do you mean by 'he is a good boy'? I don't remember that the age difference between you and me is so big that you can call me 'child'!"

My grandson smiled and made no rebuttal.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Suddenly, the sound of snow boots scraping against the ground could be heard from the side of Nishino and others.

Immediately afterwards, two black figures broke into their field of vision—it was Ebina and Ichinose.

As soon as Ebina Kata appeared, he said with a solemn expression:

"The situation is not good. The Phoenix House's defense situation is much tighter than we expected!"

Some book friends asked: Is there any cultural reference to the surname "Akutsu"? Why in many anime works, people with bad tempers are always named Akutsu.

About this... Actually, Bao Baozi doesn't know much about it either. When I was designing a young and energetic character for the Great Salt Party, the name "Akutsu" suddenly popped into my mind.
