Chapter 579 Every Relationship Is Different

Both Zhang Heng and Okita Souji looked seriously injured, but they were actually fine.

After lying on the bed for three days, Zhang Heng was basically able to move around freely. After another two weeks, his physical and mental state had recovered to the peak. He was bigger when he challenged all dojos before, and Zhang Heng is also trying to digest and absorb these experiences during this time.

Small bosses like this that can add a lot of experience are rare even in the end of the Tokugawa era, but there is another one by Zhang Heng's side.

After waiting for another week, Zhang Heng reckoned that Mr. Okita should have almost recovered, so he went to the latter to compete with him as agreed.

However, no one was seen at Okita's residence. After Zhang Heng inquired about the Gion incident, Isamu Kondo gave Okita a long vacation to let him rest, but the latter did not lie on the bed honestly, and always He went out early in the morning and came back after sunset, and no one knew where he went.

Zhang Heng had nothing to do anyway, so he didn't wait around here, but decided to try his luck to see if he could meet Mr. Okita outside.

He asked the people who lived with him where he often went, but after a round trip, he couldn't see Mr. Okita, so Zhang Heng thought about it and came to Gion again. The two met that night The place.

Zhang Heng remembered that there seemed to be a tea stall on the right hand side, and he found Mr. Okita there.

Zhang Heng didn't know how long he had been sitting here, but just stared at the house across the street, but the door was closed all the time.

"Let's make tea." Zhang Heng said to the boss, and then sat next to Mr. Okita.

Okita forced a smile and wanted to say something, but his lips moved, but he still couldn't say it.

"Have you been here recently?" Zhang Heng asked.

Director Okita nodded, and finally reluctantly turned his gaze away from the opposite door, lowered his head, and looked at the cold plate of rice cakes in front of him that had not been touched by a chopstick.

"It's impossible for the two of you to be together." Zhang Heng originally wanted to persuade Chong Tian slowly, but seeing him like this, he said directly.

"I know," Okita Souji's eyes dimmed, "I don't have the extravagant hope to get her forgiveness, I just want to come here and take a look at her from a distance, just one look."

"Persisting on a fruitless relationship will only increase your troubles. You still have a long way to go in life, and you will meet again in the future..." Zhang Heng paused when he said this, he almost forgot the history of Mr. Okita Si will pass away in May next year. In other words, the bright and straightforward boy in front of him actually only has about one year to live.

So this relationship is likely to be the last relationship in his life.

Mr. Okita coughed twice, "The deputy director of the earthwork also told me that, but...it's different," the young man said stubbornly, "every relationship is different, even if I meet someone I like in the future , she can't completely replace Miss Xiao Ye's position in my heart."

Mr. Okita's blurted words touched a part of Zhang Heng's heart, causing the latter to fall into silence.

At this time, the boss brought the tea, and Okita seemed to be aware of his willfulness, and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kondo has told me many times that I'm too emotional."

"There's nothing wrong with acting emotionally. If you weren't acting emotionally, I would have to find a way to escape that night." Zhang Hengdao, pouring tea for Mr. Okita and himself, "I heard that your chief gave you a holiday. ?”

Director Okita took over the tea ceremony and thanked him, then said, "Well, I killed Shinsaku Takasugi, but it is said that the current situation is a bit different. The people above are considering cooperating with those guys from the Banbai faction, so this matter has not been disclosed to the public. Zhang Yang, the director said that I should write down my credit first and then count it later, but I actually don’t care about credit or not, so I asked him for a long vacation.”

Then Okita seemed to think of something, and said again, "Oh, by the way, you came to me to compare swords, I just happen to be free now, where are we going, Xiaoshan Dojo?"

"No need." Zhang Heng's answer was unexpected, "I want to fight against the number one master of the Shinsengumi, the man known as the Heavenly Sword, not a sad person who is trapped by love and discouraged. , You in this state are of no value to me at all."

"Sorry," Okita Souji said apologetically, "I really don't have any intention of using a knife right now."

"Wait until you adjust your state and come to Xiaoshan Dojo to find me." Zhang Heng finished drinking tea, got up, and left ten copper coins on the table.

"Okay, then I will definitely not miss the appointment again." Director Okita said seriously.

…………

However, Zhang Heng still underestimated the impact of this incident on Okita. It is said that because he was worried about being retaliated by the Shinsengumi, the owner of that house gave his daughter to a family in his hometown, Mr. Okita. He learned the news three days later, and at that time Xiao Ye had already left Kyoto.

That day, Mr. Okita sat in front of the small tea stand from morning to night. When the boss came home from work, he didn't dare to take back the stool he was sitting on. It was bloodshot eyes, unwilling to get up and leave for a long time.

Another month later, Zhang Heng heard the news that Mr. Okita was seriously ill. When he went to visit again, Okita lost a lot of weight. In some places, only skin and bones remained, and his cough seemed to be getting worse. , the whole person was still with a low fever. When Zhang Heng saw him, he was sitting in the yard, looking at an orchid in the corner.

When Zhang Heng walked into the yard, Li Chongtian didn't notice anything.

This is almost impossible for a top player.

Zhang Heng secretly sighed in his heart. He could see that Chief Okita's health was rapidly deteriorating. Okita himself had a tuberculosis cough, and coupled with the stimulation of emotional injuries, his life might even be shorter than in history.

But at the moment, his spirit seemed to be pretty good. When Zhang Heng put down the pork in his hand, Director Okita finally noticed him, and said, "You are a rare visitor here."

"There happened to be something nearby, and I came here when I thought of you."

"Are you still challenging the dojo in Kyoto? Abe-san is also a weirdo." Souji Okita smiled, "Right now, legends about you are spreading everywhere in the streets and alleys of Kyoto. I heard that the small mountain dojo has also changed because of you It is very famous and has many disciples."
