The next four competitors gave Yuan Qianye a sense of normalcy. It was obvious they had practiced rhythmic gymnastics, but not much.

To put it bluntly, not only are they not as pretty as Touka, their figures are not as good as hers, and they are not even as professional as her in rhythmic gymnastics.

It's typical that one's innate conditions are not as good as others, and one's also not as hardworking as others.

The final results were announced, and as expected, Touka would represent the school in the competition.

Three months later, the whole family went to the finals to cheer her on!

Shihua lived up to expectations and won the individual club gymnastics championship and the individual ball gymnastics runner-up!

The whole family gathered around Shihua, with the competition venue as the background. The happy scene was recorded and everyone in the photo was smiling sweetly.

After returning from the competition, Shihua received recognition from the school and a cash reward.

This weekend, Gen Chiye and Rikka held a celebration party for Touka at home.

Needless to say, Yukino and Eriri came uninvited again. Each of them came to congratulate and brought gifts.

During the period, the two older sisters seemed unfamiliar at first, but they soon became very happy and talked non-stop when they were together.

The living room at home is very small, and it is very noisy when everyone gathers together.

However, Yuan Qianye felt that it felt really good to do this once in a while.

…………

028: The day it snowed, the day we separated

It was the end of the year, the last night.

The house no longer seemed as deserted as last year when there were only the two of them.

With a woman around, things become different, and the life immediately becomes lively and lively.

Junko Takanashi was busy in the kitchen, and the cutting table was filled with various cooking ingredients.

New Year's Eve is a very important day at the end of the year, welcoming the new and bidding farewell to the old, and she feels that it cannot be treated carelessly.

What's more, this is the first New Year she has spent with Rika and Touka since they got married. It is necessary to let all the neighbors know that their new home is living a happy life and it must be lively and bustling!

As for Minamoto no Sanada, he also took a leave of absence with great difficulty, and can stay at home with his family today and tomorrow.

At this moment, he was hanging up the shimeji and placing the door pine on the entrance door to pray for the good health and success of the whole family in the coming year.

"Hey! I won! I won Qianye!" Rika was sitting in the living room holding a piece of paper, overjoyed.

Yuan Qianye, who was standing beside her, turned and looked at her: "What happened to you?"

Touka, who had her legs on his shoulders, almost fell because of his unsteady movements. She said in an unhappy tone: "Stand still."

Rikka didn't think twice and immediately came over to share her joy. "Every time I bought a copy of Shonen Jump, I would cut out the coupon and mail it in to vote for my favorite anime character! The official website recently launched a fan-reward event, and I was selected!"

Yuan Qianye: "Come to think of it, you've asked me to deliver your mail several times, so what did you win?"

Tohka also temporarily stopped stretching her legs and looked at her sister with concern.

"A figurine of a random character from Magical Girl Momo-chan, and a poster signed by the author!"

"..."

Yuan Qianye silently straightened his head.

Seeing Rika so excited, I thought she had won a big TV or a big refrigerator, but the result was like this.

Shihua also began to concentrate on using Yuan Qianye's shoulders to stretch her legs again.

"Sister Shihua, how long do you have left? I have something to do later."

"It was you who didn't give me a gift at the party after I won the championship. You felt you owed me something, and you said you would oblige me if I needed any help with gymnastics in the future. How come, less than six months later, you're already regretting it?"

Just a polite remark!

And you are really rude. Every holiday you drag me over to help me stretch my legs and push my back.

What respectable family's younger brother would use it like this?!

"Didn't Rikka give you a gift before?"

"But she's too short and not in great physical condition. Unlike you, who's a little taller than me and whose shoulders are just right for my ankles, and you're also very strong, making you a perfect sparring partner."

Unhappy with their indifferent reaction, Rikka emphasized, "This is the signature of the author of Magical Girl Momo-chan! It's an autograph!"

"Ah, I see." Yuan Qianye said perfunctorily. He then reached out and grasped Touka's ankle, slowly applying force forward: "Then let's make a quick decision. Let's just push forward as usual, right?"

Touka's expression was painful: "Hey wait, I'm not ready yet, don't use brute force... Slow down, be gentle..."

snort!

Two guys who don't know what they're talking about.

Liuhua returned to the stove angrily.

Especially that idiot Qianye!

I even wanted to give him the winning gift.

Now she wants to change her mind and thinks it might be a good idea to keep it.

"ah!"

At this moment, Runzi's scream suddenly came from the kitchen.

In the living room, Yuan Qianye had just taken Shihua's feet off his shoulders.

The wife-loving man outside the door, Gen Sanada, had already arrived at the kitchen at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. He didn't even care if the loose ornaments fell and crushed the thin kadomatsu.

"Runzi! What's wrong with you?!"

"Ah, it's okay, Sanada. I just accidentally cut my hand. Sorry."

“T-You got it!? Qianye! Qianye!!!”

"I'm coming."

Without his father saying anything, Yuan Qianye had already brought the medicine box.

He felt that his father's behavior was a bit exaggerated, but he was indeed reflecting on himself.

Even if Aunt Runzi had refused before, he should still come and help prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

However, Touka was very pleased to see Gen Sanada's reaction.

She walked over and helped her mother take off her apron: "Mom, go and have a rest for a while, just leave this to me."

"But……"

"Don't worry, I'll help you too."

After the joint persuasion of her eldest daughter and Minamoto Chiye, Takanashi Junko finally gave up the kitchen.

After they walked out of the kitchen, she could vaguely hear her scolding her husband for being too dramatic in his reaction.

"If you need any help, call me. I'll go back first..."

"I need your help now. Choose between cooking and washing and cutting vegetables."

Shihua pulled back Yuan Qianye who was about to escape.

Yuan Qianye naturally chose the former. Friends who cook frequently know that being in charge of the cooking is much more comfortable than preparing in advance and handling the work afterwards.

"Hurry up, Eriri Yukino asked me and Rikka to set off fireworks together."

"Yukino went back to Grandpa's hometown with Haruno today, so I don't think she'll be back anytime soon."

Touka and Yono have a very good relationship now. Not only do they keep in touch frequently, but they also make plans to go shopping together several times.

"Do you know what cyber fireworks are?"

"?"

"Then you'll understand."

"..."

You dare to keep your sister in suspense.

Shihua raised the soup spoon, thought about it and decided not to knock it down.

There was a bit of semi-solidified lard on the spoon. Given Yuan Qianye's obsessive-compulsive disorder, if he were to knock it down, the brother-sister bond between them would most likely be shattered immediately and irreparably.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, the family sat together, eating buckwheat noodles and watching the New Year's program.

In the middle of the meal, Yuan Qianye left the table, took Liuhua with him, and said he would be back soon.

Tohka followed them to the door, somewhat curious.

Then he saw Qianye holding the small fireworks he had bought earlier, half-crouching on the roadside at the door and lighting them.

Rikka was standing next to him, video chatting with Eriri and Yukino on her phone.

Tohka pursed her lips to suppress a smile.

Such a cyber firework.

But in a sense, they are indeed connected through video.

Gen Qianye actually felt that what he was doing right now was quite childish, but there was nothing he could do since this was the activity that Eriri had suggested.

Even if we are in different regions in the future, thousands of miles apart, and cannot feel the warmth of each other's palms, as long as our hearts are together, miss each other, can see each other's smiling faces, and hear each other's laughter, we will always be good friends!

To be honest, these words coming from a sixth-grade kid with a sincere expression are quite touching.

There is no other way. What else can we do about the idea proposed by the second little student with amazing painting talent? We can only pamper her.

I guess Yukino had the same idea. She couldn't bear to refuse Eriri's request, so she agreed to it with the idea of making her happy.

But now looking at the slightly raised expression on her lips in the video, and the richness of the fireworks she is setting off, it seems that she has prepared carefully in advance... Why does it seem like she is enjoying it?

Gen Qianye asked Rikka to set off the fireworks for a while, and he took the phone, waited for the right moment, and took a screenshot to save the cute picture of Eriri and Yukino smiling at the same time.

Click Save.

----

a new Year.

Except for that New Year's Eve when everyone video-chatted and set off fireworks and laughed for a while, Eriri...

He seemed depressed for the next few days.

The reluctance and sadness that she had been suppressing in her heart finally came to the point of bursting out.

January 4th, Tokyo International Airport.

Yukino sat with her family. She was wearing a thick scarf and nodded from time to time as she listened to her father and sister's caring advice.

In less than an hour, she and her mother would board a plane to Eagle Country.

The reason why the schedule was so tight and we had to leave right after the Chinese New Year was because the start dates of schools abroad were different from those in China.

If she rushed there at this moment, she would be able to catch the start of the second semester of the first grade of junior high school.

She has been learning English since she was a child.

When the cram school ended in sixth grade, she had some free time to prepare for and self-study the contents of the first-year junior high school courses abroad.

Neither of these was a big problem for her.

The reason why she seemed so uninterested was, after all,...

"Yukino!"

The moment she heard the familiar voice, Yukino's eyes lit up and she stood up and looked towards the airport entrance.

Yang Nai, who was beside her, looked at her sister's profile which brightened up instantly and smiled silently.

A petite figure with two pigtails swaying came running from a distance.

"Sorry... it's snowing outside, so the traffic is a bit congested. We're late!"

It's different from how he grabbed Yukino's hand without even catching his breath after getting close to Eriri.
