"what--"

I only heard Sister Fanxia yawning as she walked out of the bedroom. After hearing the noise coming from the kitchen, she tiptoed over.

Looking at the young man busy in the kitchen, she didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably happy.

Subconsciously, she placed her hand on her belly, recalling the boy's slightly rough appearance last night. She wished she could write a short essay of several hundred words as a reflection for her best friend.

Show off to her, but just when she took out her cell phone and really planned to tease her bestie.

"Eh? Sister Fanxia, ​​are you awake? Breakfast is almost ready. Go to the living room and wait for a while."

He noticed that Sister Fanxia, ​​who was only wearing a thin T-shirt, was standing quietly behind him. He thought that she was hungry and couldn't wait any longer.

"Okay~ Don't overcook my fried egg."

"Yes, yes, I know."

Xi Mio responded unhappily.

Xi Mio was thinking to herself that she would have to wait here for a while before breakfast was ready.

Since the temple fair cannot be held due to heavy snow, then the activities of going to the temple to pray for blessings and New Year's greetings must also be cancelled, right?

What would be a good thing for him to do in the apartment then?

Before he could figure out what was going on, the sizzling sound of the oil on the pan reminded him that breakfast was ready.

Then, he brought breakfast to the table in the living room. Even without looking up, he could feel Sister Fanxia's expectant eyes staring at him.

"What's wrong? Is there something strange on my face?"

He touched his face subconsciously, but he didn't find anything wrong.

Then I heard Sister Fanxia say happily.

"Nothing, I just think you look really good in an apron, Mio~"

"Eh? If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that I haven't taken off my apron yet."

After hearing Sister Fanxia's reminder, Xi Mio realized that she had not had time to put away her apron, so she quickly took off the apron and put it back in the kitchen.

Xi Mio returned to the table and sat on the cushion. Just as she was about to have breakfast, she heard Sister Fanxia talking about the New Year temple fair.

"Xiao Mio, let's go to the New Year's temple fair together tomorrow~"

"Sister Fanxia, ​​I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Because of the heavy snow that has been falling for several days, the temple fair has been cancelled."

"Eh--"

"Not only the temple fair, it's even difficult for us to go out, so, Sister Fanxia, ​​you should just give up and stay at home and lie down..."

Having said that, Xi Mio felt a little disappointed and couldn't help but sigh.

Chapter 36: Kotatsu Crisis

With the arrival of the New Year, the snowstorm outside showed no signs of stopping, thanks to which Xi Mio could wear a yukata and wander around the house.

Ever since they came back from their trip, the relationship between Nozomi and Arisa has shown no signs of easing.

These days can be said to be Fanxia's lucky days. Every day she can find one or two lame excuses to coax Ximiao into the room and give her some health guidance.

Her fair face became visibly rosy, and her complexion looked much better than before.

However, Xi Mio didn't care too much about this change in Sister Fanxia.

I saw that the small table in the middle of the living room was replaced with a warm kotatsu at Xi Mio's strong request. The boy curled up in it, and the expression on his face looked very comfortable.

But it was still Sister Fanxia who was wearing a T-shirt and hot pants, sitting on the sofa, and she didn't seem very interested in the kotatsu, which made Xi Mio a little confused.

"Sister Fanxia? Aren't you cold like this? The warm kotatsu is very comfortable~"

Looking at Sister Fanxia who was still sitting on the sofa, holding a tablet and doing something, Xi Mio suddenly had some strange thoughts in her mind.

Fanxia, ​​who didn't know what Xi Mio was planning, just glanced at the kotatsu that looked very warm, and then said.

"I'd better forget it... I've never really liked the kotatsu. It always feels stuffy and makes people feel uncomfortable."

As soon as she finished speaking, a pair of leggings that were still warm were thrown in front of her by Xi Mio, which scared Fanxia.

"Xiao Mio, what are you doing..."

Before she could finish, a playful smile appeared on Xi Mio's already cute face.

"Really not coming~"

I saw Xi Mio's hands doing something inside the kotatsu. After a while, he took out a pair of pure white panties.

Now, no matter how slow-witted Fan Xia was, she could understand that the boy was tempting her to go into the kotatsu and have some good time with him.

however.

Xi Mio didn't give Fanxia time to react. Seeing that she was still hesitating, Xi Mio threw the panties in her hand over to her without hesitation.

Seeing Xi Mio provoking her like this, no matter how patient Fan Xia tried, it was useless.

Just as she stood up and was about to teach the arrogant Xi Mio a lesson, the doorbell suddenly rang, causing her to pause and change direction abruptly.

While Xi Mio was still not reacting, Sister Fanxia went to the entrance, opened the door, and wanted to see who was coming.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, she saw two pairs of beautiful wine-red eyes staring at her, which made her tremble. Then she pretended to be calm and said.

"Ami, and Alisa...what are you doing?"

Looking at the two of them, they were both wearing very formal kimonos, and there was also the yukata that Xi Mio was wearing in the room.

She suddenly felt that she didn't fit in with the group in her casual clothes.

All I heard was Yashi, who was standing outside the door, suddenly speaking.

"It's just that it's snowing heavily outside, and I guess I won't be able to go to the temple fair to pray these days, so I came over here to wish you a happy new year~"

Without giving Fanxia a chance to answer, she stuffed a thick envelope into Fanxia's hand.

"This is?"

"New Year's money~ Fanxia, ​​you are probably not married yet, so it is normal for me, as an elder, to give you New Year's money."

As she said this, she took off her shoes, walked around Fanxia who was standing in a daze at the door, and walked into the house.

After a while, Fanxia heard it. Just like before, Asi stuffed the New Year's money into Ximiao's hand in the same way.

She could even hear Xi Mio's happy voice of thanks at the entrance.

For a moment, only Fanxia and Arisa were left at the door, staring at each other, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

"So, you're still not going to reconcile with Xiao Mio?"

Finally, he couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere anymore, and after putting away his New Year's money, Fan Xia asked the girl in front of him.

Although she didn't want to meddle in other people's business, it would be best if the hateful devil in front of her could break up with Xi Mio.

However, if this caused Xi Mio to be depressed like she was a few days ago, then she would just forget it...

When Arisa heard her ask this, a rare look of impatience appeared on her pretty face.

"I did nothing wrong! I just wanted to give all the good things to Xiao Mio. Not only did he not appreciate it, but he even got angry with me!"

"...Forget it, you two can solve it yourselves, I don't care anymore!"

"I didn't ask you to meddle in other people's business!"

After just a few words, the two started arguing, neither of them giving in, and walked to the living room side by side.

Asi, who was already sitting in the kotatsu and peeling tangerines with Ximiao, noticed that the two people seemed to be a little strange, so she became a little confused and turned her eyes to them.

However, Asi obviously did not notice that Xi Mio, who was sitting next to her, had a red face and looked abnormal.

The boy couldn't help but glance towards the sofa. His leggings... and panties were all on it.

In other words, except for his yukata, he is completely defenseless under the kotatsu, but as long as he doesn't say anything, no one else will find out!

Who could have expected that Aunt Asami and Alisa would suddenly come over. Now, perhaps only the thick stack of New Year's money that Aunt Asami just gave him can calm his restless mood.

When Arisa also sat in the kotatsu, Fanxia originally planned to go back to the sofa, but seeing the three of them sitting on the kotatsu, she felt that it would be a bit strange if she didn't go over...

and……

She silently glanced at the leggings and panties that Xi Mio had just thrown at her, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and a bad idea suddenly emerged in her mind.

"Really? Is the kotatsu really that comfortable?"

While complaining like this, she walked into the kotatsu. To be honest, as soon as she sat on the kotatsu, she felt a warm current coming from the bottom to the top.

It does look quite comfortable.

but……

Her beautiful eyes looked straight at Xi Mio who was sitting next to her. Her pair of somewhat cold hands were naturally placed in the kotatsu, and she groped for something along the edge.

Xi Mio seemed to sense something, her body trembled and she looked at Sister Fanxia unhappily.

He seemed to understand why Sister Fanxia suddenly wanted to come over to the kotatsu...

Chapter 37: The Girl Who Asks Questions Despite Knowing the Answer

"Mio, if you eat so many oranges, you won't be able to eat delicious food later~"

Looking at the pile of orange peels in front of Xi Mio, Asi couldn't help but smile and said to him.

"Yes, yes...I understand."

Although he verbally agreed to Aunt Asi, Xi Mio still showed no intention of stopping and was peeling the orange skillfully.

If he didn't use these things to distract himself, the fact that the somewhat cold little hand under the stove was bullying him would be exposed.

It's easy to imagine that among those present, only Sister Fanxia knew about his leggings and panties, which he had thrown onto the sofa.

The owner of this hand is self-evident.

I don’t know how long it took.

"By the way, we also brought some rice cakes. Do you want to eat them together?" Aunt Yashi said as she took out an unopened box of rice cakes from a bag nearby.

"Okay~ I'm a little hungry, but it's still early for lunch, so it's not bad to fill my stomach with rice cakes."

Sister Fanxia responded as if nothing had happened. After seeing Xi Mio's expression of endurance, she restrained herself a little and stopped bullying him.

Just when she was about to take her hand back, she suddenly found that her wrist was grabbed by another small hand, which made her stunned.

Afterwards, Fanxia was a little confused. She looked at Ximiao, who had lost his strength and was lying on the table looking at her, not understanding what he was doing.

I only heard him speak softly to Fanxia.

"Almost...almost, Sister Fanxia."

She immediately understood what Xi Mio meant and smiled meaningfully. She also followed Xi Mio's instructions and extended her somewhat cold hand out of the kotatsu.

Just as Aunt Asi got up with the bag of rice cakes and was about to go to the kitchen to see what she could use to cook the rice cakes to make them taste better.

However, Arisa noticed something was wrong and looked at Shi Mio who was sitting opposite her.

After carefully observing the boy's expression for a while, she spoke softly.

"Mio, aren't you going to help?"

"Eh?"

Xi Mio, who was still immersed in the secret and exciting interaction with Fanxia under the kotatsu, had not yet reacted to why she said that.

All I heard was Arisa continuing to speak.

"Are you really relieved? Did my mother go into the kitchen alone? By the way, Boros cooks all the meals in our house, although it's none of my business."

While drinking hot tea, she was talking to Xi Mio opposite her about the consequences of leaving her mother alone after entering the kitchen.

However, the situation did not turn out as she expected. Xi Mio was still curled up in the kotatsu and had no intention of going to the kitchen to help.
