But I saw the chief officer sitting alone on the rafters, facing the spacious courtyard.

She was wearing a purple regular dress, holding her hands on the floors on both sides of her body, and enjoying the courtyard view with a quiet expression.

The two little feet without socks hang down below the corridor - because they are petite, they cannot touch the ground and can only hang in the air - shaking back and forth like kicking water, showing a crystal clear texture under the sunlight, making people want to hold it lightly.

Before Qingdeng arrived, the sound arrived first.

"Hmm? Qingdeng, why are you here?"

For the General Office, the footsteps of Aoden, Sanako, Awu and other members of the "Trial Guest School" are so familiar, and there is no possibility of hearing them wrong.

Because of the busy business recently, I can't get away with it, so Qingdeng's chances of meeting the girls have been reduced a lot.

The last time he met with the Chief Executive Officer had to go back 5 days ago.

Looking at the Chief Executive who had not seen for many days, Qingdeng unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.

However, he soon discovered something, his expression changed slightly, and then he frowned slightly.

"Xiao Si, did you not sleep well last night?"

The chief officer bathed in the warm sun, and under the illumination of light, at first glance, he didn't realize anything strange.

But after looking closely, she could find that her face was not very good-looking, with no blood, as if she was coated with a layer of white powder...

The chief blinked, and slowly realized that it was his face that caused Qingdeng's concern.

She touched her face and explained calmly:

"I slept well last night. Maybe because I've been too busy and tired recently, so I look haggard."

"...Xiao Si, if you feel uncomfortable, don't force it."

The chief executive smiled:

"Well, I will."

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew.

The gust of wind is neither slow nor slow, very soft, and when it blows, it is like silk slipping across the skin.

The chief officer held his head up and his chest, closed his eyes, and felt the gentle caress of the gentle wind.

"What a comfortable wind...ah, cherry blossoms."

She opened her eyes and looked at the cherry blossom petals dancing in the wind with surprise.

Dozens of cherry blossom petals climbed over the wall under the wind, spreading out in front of Qingdeng and the others, rolling and hovering.

It is the time when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, with lush and beautiful cherry blossom trees blooming in Otsu's streets and alleys.

The chief executive raised his slender jade hand and gathered a few cherry blossom petals in the wind.

Looking at the crystal petals in her palm, a childlike smile appeared between her cheeks.

"Qingdeng, if there is nothing important, can you stay with me for a while? It's so boring to enjoy the scenery alone."

To be honest, Qingdeng is not considered leisure now, and there are still many official duties waiting for him to deal with.

However...for some reason, at this moment, facing the invitation from the General Office, he could not afford to have any refusal in his heart.

So, he did not doubt it, and sat cross-legged beside her without hesitation.

"Qingdeng, I had a dream last night."

As soon as Qingdeng sat down, she slowly said to herself:

"I dreamed of a black cat."

"This black cat jumped around in the yard, very lively."

"In theory, when I encounter this cute cat, I should hold it in my arms and play with it."

"I pulled out my sword in my dream and fought with it."

"However, even though the opponent is just a cat, I have no way to deal with it."

"No matter how many times I try, even the 'Aoyi Pingqing Eye Three Stages' is used, and it will not hurt a single hair."

"I can't cut it anymore...I can't cut it anymore..."

After saying that, she looked up at the sky, her eyes flashing, as if she was looking at the sky, as if she was staring at a more distant world.

"Fighting with a cat? What kind of weird dream is this?"

The chief laughed:

"I don't know, maybe I'm predicting my future - becoming a weak woman who can't even deal with a cat."

Qingdeng said angrily:

"Don't say such unlucky words."

Faced with Qingdeng's reprimand, the General Officer smiled and said nothing.

She lowered her head again, staring at the cherry blossom petals in her palm, and playing with her fingers.

"...When we think about it carefully, although we have a deep friendship, we have never enjoyed cherry blossoms together."

"There is only one time a year when cherry blossoms bloom."

"So...I want to go and enjoy the cherry blossoms."

"Qingdeng, can you accompany me to enjoy the cherry blossoms tomorrow?"

Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something, paused, then hurriedly turned her head and stared at Qingdeng with a nervous expression.

"Only we two go, okay?"

The last sentence "Is it OK?" is faintly filled with a pleading breath.

No wonder...

Strengthen Qinjin's national strength, alienate the Western vassals, and save the emperor... waiting for Qingdeng to deal with important state affairs one by one, piled up into mountains.

Let Qingdeng put these important things on hold and accompany her to enjoy the cherry blossoms... No matter which angle you consider it, this belongs to the category of "nonsense".

But... for Qing Deng, this type of choice does not require deep thought.

As soon as the Chief Executive finished speaking, he said seriously:

"Don't say it's tomorrow, next year, the year after tomorrow, the year after tomorrow... As long as you speak, I will always be with you."

Just a few sleeps can make up for it!

Qingdeng, who has nearly a hundred talents and extraordinary physical strength, never knows what "decision" and "loyalty and love are hard to achieve" is.

In an instant, the nervous look on her cheeks disappeared, replaced by a bright smile.

"Then let's make an appointment!"

She seemed to be afraid that Qingdeng would regret it, so she quickly stretched out the tail finger of her right hand.

Seeing this, Qingdeng couldn't help but show a helpless expression.

"There is no need for such a kid's trick, right?"

"Since it's an agreement, there must be a 'contracting ceremony'?"

The chief officer's eyes were very serious. It seemed that if she did not meet her requirements, she would not give in.

Qingdeng had no choice but to extend his right hand and finger.

Just at the moment when the two tail fingers are about to intertwin—

"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!! Cough cough cough cough cough--!!"

The sudden violent cough tore the warm atmosphere on the scene...

She uncontrollably put away her tail fingers, covered her lips tightly with her hands, and coughed hard! She coughed with her breath disorder! She coughed with her delicate body trembling! She coughed with her breathless!

His cough was so violent that it seemed to vomit his lungs!

Immediately afterwards... a bloody color broke into Qingdeng's vision.

A ball of blood spurted out between his lips and teeth, and in a blink of an eye his hands turned into a terrifying "bloody hand"!

Everything happened too quickly and too unexpectedly... Qingdeng's expression was dominated by intense horror.

When he reacted and stepped forward to support her, she had closed her eyes and fainted, with a lot of blood still remaining on her lips.

The cherry blossom petals that she just held in her hand - the blood-stained cherry blossom petals - slid down and drifted to the ground...
