In the anime series, Goto Ichiri is actually my childhood sweetheart?

Goto Ichiri breathed a sigh of relief.

Leaning forward slightly, the car stopped steadily and arrived at Goto's house.

"excuse me."

Takahashi Kaede came in, followed by Goto Ichiri and Michiyo who was carrying a bag.

She felt the object and it was very heavy; she couldn't guess what it was.

After changing into slippers, I looked into the room. The walls were covered with colorful lights and there was a big Christmas tree next to it. It looked very bright.

There was a man standing at the door to greet them, he must be Goto Ichiri's father.

"Hello, uncle."

"You must be Xiao Feng, welcome to our home, come and sit here, the food is ready."

After being led by Goto Naoki to walk further inside, Takahashi Feng discovered that the dining table was full of dishes, ranging from fried chicken and French fries to fried tempura and other specialties.

Gao Qiaofeng was a little flattered.

Chapter 40 Great White Bear

Goto Naoki invited Ichiri and Michiyo to sit at the table, and with everyone saying "I'm eating!", the Christmas dinner began.

Takahashi Feng picked up a piece of fried tempura and put it in his mouth.

As soon as I took a bite, the aroma of oil filled the air. My teeth broke through the crispy breadcrumbs on the outside and bit into the tender shrimp inside. The smooth and layered taste made me unable to stop, and I finished the rest in two bites.

But although these dishes are very oily, they don’t use as much salt as Takahashi Kaede’s. This may be due to the difference in diet.

"How's it going, Xiao Feng, our cooking skills are pretty good, right?"

Takahashi Kaede would be happy if the guests liked her dishes. So was Goto Michiyo. Seeing Takahashi Kaede eating so happily, she asked with a smile.

Gao Qiaofeng naturally nodded and gave a thumbs up.

Goto Ichiri is very busy now. She loves fried food very much. There are so many dishes on the table and she wants to eat them all. However, her stomach is too small, so she can only eat a little bit each time.

If you are a little greedy about one dish, your stomach will be full immediately, and then you can only watch others eat with sorrow.

Gao Qiaofeng suddenly thought that it seemed that people had to eat turkey on Christmas. In China, Christmas is rarely celebrated as such a formal holiday, so naturally they don’t have turkey.

Looking around at the dishes on the table, he didn't see any turkey, but there was a lot of fried chicken.

Could it be that he is not used to eating turkey and ate fried chicken as turkey?

Because he also heard that KFC in Japan is always packed during Christmas, and they also launch special menus, such as Christmas set menu and Crazy Christmas.

The localization of this foreign culture is really amazing.

After the meal, Goto's father drank some wine and suddenly stood up and said that he wanted to thank Takahashi Kaede for taking care of Goto Ichiri at school.

Gao Qiaofeng naturally stood up to return the greeting, clinked glasses politely, and drank the juice in the glass.

The meal was very harmonious. After the meal, Goto's parents were collecting the dishes, while Goto Ichiri was pulling Takahashi Kaede upstairs, looking very anxious.

"What's wrong? Why are you pulling me suddenly——"

Before Takahashi Feng, who was pulled to Goto Ichiri, could figure out the situation, he saw a big object covered with a piece of cloth on Goto Ichiri's bed.

Holding Takahashi Kaede's hand and walking to the bedside, Goto Ichiri removed the cloth - it was a super huge white bear.

Gao Qiaofeng was a little amazed. He took a deep breath and touched it. It was furry and still had that honest and reliable feeling, but because it was white, it seemed very spiritual.

"Feng, this is my Christmas gift to you, how about it!"

Goto Ichiri bought this gift a long time ago and had always wanted to tell others about it at school, but he also wanted to keep it a surprise.

On that stormy night, when she was lying on Gaoqiao Feng's bed, hugging the black bear on his bed, the sound of wind and rain outside overcame the sense of security that the bear brought her.

In the end, she was still scared and asked Takahashi Kaede to sleep with her.

Although the bear was big, it was not big enough. Even though it was warm and furry when I hugged it, I was still afraid.

She thought she would be scared, and maybe Takahashi Kaede would be too.

She didn't want Takahashi Kaede to be scared.

With this thought in mind, Goto Ichiri wanted to buy him a big bear, a very big one that he could get stuck into and that could completely isolate him from scary things.

After consulting his mother, Ichiri Goto bought this big white bear. Its huge and snow-white body reminds people of polar bears. They have long and smooth hair and thick fat that can keep the cold out of their bodies.

"How about it?"

Seeing that Takahashi Feng was just touching around without saying anything, Goto Ichiri asked again.

"I like it very much. I want to hold it when I sleep at night."

Gao Qiaofeng liked this gift from the bottom of his heart. He had always chosen big bears when buying bears before, but this was the first time he had seen one this big.

Hug Bear, Takahashi Feng felt like there seemed to be some residual temperature on it.

"How can I take such a big bear back home?"

Takahashi Feng thought about this problem.

"It's okay. Mom will drive it to your house and put it in a big bag on the way so it won't get dirty."

It seems that it has been arranged long ago.

Now it's Takahashi Kaede's turn.

Holding hands and walking eagerly, Takahashi Feng and Goto Ichiri went downstairs and stopped beside the shining Christmas tree, where the gifts he brought were.

Gao Qiaofeng squatted down and opened the bag, which contained a very exquisite gift box.

"I won't tell you what it is, Goto, you open it."

Holding the gift box in both hands, Takahashi Kaede handed it to Goto Ichiri.

At this time, Goto Michiyo and Goto Naoki had also washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen and came out.

"Are we going to open the presents now?"

Goto Michiyo asked.

"Yes, this is my gift to Goto, I hope she likes it..."

Although he tried his best, he still felt uneasy, afraid that Goto Ichiri would not like it.

Pull open the ribbon on the gift box, open the outer packaging, and there is a foam box inside.

This was made by Gao Qiaofeng because he was afraid it would break.

He reminded Goto Ichiri as he helped him place the foam box horizontally.

"You can just peel off the top and there will be a gift inside."

Goto's parents watched from the side as Goto Ichiri slowly removed the last layer of obstruction covering the gift.

She suddenly saw—herself?

No, it's a doll in his own image.

It’s not right to call it a puppet. This thing has no hands or feet, and the lower part of its body is round.

Seeing that Goto Ichiri wanted to pick it up but didn't know what it was and was a little at a loss, Takahashi Kaede helped him take it to the ground.

The doll that looked like Goto Ichiri swayed slightly, then settled firmly on the ground.

"It's a tumbler! So cute!"

This is the voice of Michiyo Goto.

Goto Ichiri picked up herself in front of her. There was a conspicuous switch on the head of the tumbler. She gently turned it, and the face of the tumbler Goto Ichiri changed from being reserved to a bright smile.

Goto Naoki moved closer and wanted to pick it up for a closer look, but Goto Ichiri immediately held the tumbler in his arms and prevented him from taking it away.

"How about this? I made this myself. The picture above is also drawn by me. I think my drawing is still very cute... Do you like it? It's a gift from me to you."

“I really like it!”

Goto Ichiri rubbed his face against the tumbler in his hand, and felt the cool and smooth texture of cork.

Holding the tumbler in both hands and looking at it from a distance, she felt that she looked a little funny with her round body, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Xiao Feng, did you really do this yourself?"

When Goto Naoki saw that Goto Ichiri didn't give him the one, he turned to Takahashi Kaede and asked, "It's almost impossible to buy a tumbler of this weight and texture, with exquisite graffiti on it, and it's also difficult to have this quality if you customize it."

Chapter 41 Custom Model

"Xiao Feng, did you do this yourself?"

This kind of handicraft is so attractive to men that Goto Naoki couldn't help but ask again.

“I did it myself.”

"How did you learn that? That's amazing!"

"Ryoko was interested in this kind of thing before, and I just found out about it accidentally. It just so happened to be related to the gift I wanted to make for Goto-san, so I asked her to learn it."

Takahashi Feng touched his head.

"But actually I still practiced while reading books most of the time, and only occasionally asked her questions."

Goto Ichiri just knew that it was made by Takahashi Kaede herself and it was very cute, so she liked it very much. However, Goto's parents truly felt how much technical skills were required to make this tumbler.

Naoki and Michiyo looked at each other with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Goto Michiyo was fine, as she had already prepared herself mentally for Takahashi Kaede's outstanding performance, but Goto Naoki was completely in awe of him. It must have taken a long time to create such a large work of art.

It seems that Takahashi Kaede really values ​​Goto Ichiri.

But Takahashi Kaede didn't pay attention to these. The key was whether Goto Ichiri liked it or not.

Before I knew it, Goto Ichiri came closer.

Just like when an adult fulfills a child’s wish, the child will happily kiss the adult.

Gao Qiaofeng suddenly felt his face wet.

Goto Ichiri hugged Takahashi Kaede and slapped him hard on the face, then held the tumbler high up and went back to the room. She wanted to put it in the room.

Takahashi Kaede, who didn't react, turned around and looked at Goto's parents.

Michiyo shook her head in worry but said nothing.

Goto Naoki beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling deeply that his family status had declined.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze and no one spoke.

"She...seems a little too excited."

Michiyo broke the deadlock. She realized that Takahashi Kaede was also a child, and this kind of interaction between children was actually nothing big.

She had always treated Gao Qiaofeng as an adult, so she was a little dumbfounded.

"I feel relieved to see her so happy. I was worried that she might not like it."

Naturally, he didn't care much about this. Goto Ichiri liked the gift he gave very much, and that was enough. All his efforts over the past two months were not in vain.

"You've worked so hard to learn how to make gifts."

"No, no, it's actually a very happy thing to keep on learning. I'm also very grateful to Goto-san for letting me find such a hobby."

This experience of making gifts not only made Goto Ichiri happy, but also helped him to grow his talents. Takahashi Kaede has now fallen in love with woodworking.

Naoki Goto suddenly thought of something and took a guitar down from upstairs.

"Xiao Feng, can you do this kind of thing?"

"I only know how to carve the shape, I don't know how to debug this kind of thing."

Takahashi Feng shook his head, not knowing what Goto Naoki was up to.

"Honey, do you remember that I always wanted to hang a guitar model on the wall of the living room, but I couldn't find a suitable custom service."

Goto Naoki said to Goto Michiyo, who seemed to remember something.

"Xiao Feng, I'm not asking you to make a guitar. I want to ask if it's possible to simply make a model of this style of guitar without strings that can be played."

"It is possible, for sure."
