In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

Yuan Qianye came to the desk and sat down.

"Why don't you sleep in your sister's bed? It's okay, she won't mind."

Go sleep in Shihua's bed, covered with a quilt that smells like her?

How is that different from her hugging him?

Does he still want to sleep well tonight?

Yuan Qianye didn't say much, and it was impossible for him to explain anything to Liuhua. He just shook his head and said, "I'll just read for a while. You go to sleep. Good night."

"Okay then, good night."

Liuhua yawned lightly, adjusted the pillow to a comfortable position, turned her back and closed her eyes.

At around three o'clock in the morning, the three people who were working outside returned home.

After hearing Yuan Qianye's explanation, Shihua looked at her sleeping sister speechlessly: "She would be scared by something like this, a kindergarten kid..."

“Everyone has things they’re not good at.”

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me. Go back to your room and rest."

"kindness."

It was indeed very late. At this time, the owner of the breakfast shop had probably already cooked the first bucket of porridge to serve customers.

Yuan Qianye returned to his room and fell asleep soon after.

But he was soon awakened by the situation in his dream.

It wasn't a nightmare, but he had experienced similar things many times and now had a set of practical experience to help him stop himself from going too far.

The good news is that the protagonist in this dream has finally changed.

The tricky thing is, the number of people replaced... is too many at once.

Yukino's ankles emerged from the mist like finely carved white jade.

The curve of Shiyu's arch is like a crescent moon passing over the snowy field.

Plus, Saeko's toes are tinged with the warmth of coral beads, and her nails are painted in a gradient cherry pink color...

This really cost me my life... It was almost there, just a little bit!

Fortunately, I woke up and didn't need to change clothes.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Eriri also makes an appearance.

But she was jumping around and playing games and didn't join in.

I looked at the time and it was already past five o'clock.

Yuan Qianye got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

During this process, I heard some noise coming from the master bedroom.

This couple is really in love.

As for this house, if I can find a chance to move it sooner, I'll move it sooner...

The sound insulation is too poor.

----

A few days passed after Christmas Eve.

It's winter vacation now, and Yuan Qianye's schedule has changed compared to usual.

He spends most of his time in the store helping out.

There is a flu outbreak, and it has begun to attract the attention of the Japanese government, but for now, the business in the store has not been greatly affected.

Gen Qianye changed his binding partner to Touma Kazusa, and he started learning piano in the store whenever he had time.

But because Learning Machine No. 5 was not around, his progress was slow.

The slow progress here refers to the speed of progress compared with his previous learning of other skills.

But in the eyes of his parents, and Touka who also came to the store to help during these times.

He has made rapid progress in piano.

At first, even they could hear that there were often incoherent notes when he played the piano.

But now, he can even elicit sparse applause from the guests after playing a song when the store is full.

Could it be that my brother-in-law is really an all-round genius?

Shihua has gradually begun to have such thoughts.

On such days, time comes to the day before New Year.

On the same day, Yukino also sent an invitation to Gen Chiye, asking him if he wanted to visit the shrine together.

…………

079: Both talented and hardworking

Gen Qianye received Yukino's message while having breakfast at home.

The content of the message was very concise and clear. It asked him whether he wanted everyone to go to the shrine to pray and worship between the first and third days of the new year.

Yuan Qianye was a little surprised, not because of the prayer, but because he was surprised by the fact that she took the initiative to invite him.

When he was thinking about how to reply, Rika beside him saw him staring at his phone and came over curiously.

After seeing Xueno's message, she seemed to be in high spirits. The small tip of her hand appeared from the cuff of her large sweater and she gently pulled his clothes.

"Great! Let's go to the New Year's Shrine together, Qianye. Our luck hasn't been good lately, so let's go and pray for peace, health, and good luck in the coming year!"

Bad luck?

Yuan Qianye and Shihua on the other side of the table felt a pang of nervousness, thinking to themselves, could it be that this little idiot had found out from some source that they hadn't noticed that Mom and Dad had been injured and hospitalized during their trip?

"I've sent numerous letters to Shonen Jump and anime magazines, but haven't received any replies saying I've won a prize. The same thing happened with the supermarket's year-end promotion, where ticket stubs worth 1,000 yuan or more are good for a chance to enter a prize draw. Last time, I went to run errands for my family and took the trouble to pay in four installments, but all I got were consolation prizes of toilet paper. I feel like I need to pray to Ebisu, the God of Fortune, to bring back my good luck."

"..."

The little fool is still the little fool.

Shihua lowered her eyes and continued to eat peacefully.

Yuan Qianye was also relieved and touched Rika's hedgehog hair, which had curled up at the ends and looked very artistic because she hadn't had time to style it since she got up.

He expressed his concerns: "I'm actually a little worried."

Liuhua was puzzled: "What are you worried about?"

Tohka and her adopted brother were in sync at this moment. "Of course it's the flu. It's been getting worse and worse lately. Our store has started to focus on disinfection and sterilization, and we've even installed hand sanitizers at the door. It goes without saying that New Year's shrines are packed with people, and with so many people crammed into the shrine, the risk of contracting the flu is definitely high."

"Eh~" Rikka said with a downcast face, "But didn't Qianye still go to the busiest place in Tokyo with other girls on Christmas Eve to make out and be affectionate? He even accepted the interview with great enthusiasm!"

Yuan Qianye pinched her face, feeling the collagen-filled texture, soft and smooth. "Who do you think I'm doing this for? Give me back the Capibara doll, I won't give it to you anymore!"

Touka whimpered and struggled, but she still insisted, "I'm very happy to receive the doll, but that doesn't change your double-edged nature, your double-talking, your opportunistic nature!"

What is this all about?

Touka was very pleased that the exercise book she bought was useful. Apart from anything else, she was using the little idioms more and more fluently when speaking, although the words still didn't express the meaning clearly.

"This is why I always tell you that leading by example is important. I also told you a long time ago not to spoil her so much. Look, she doesn't dare to talk back to me like that."

Yuan Qianye's hand loosened, and Liuhua covered her cheek with her hands. Rebelliousness came to her, and she looked at her sister dimly: "Sister ate roasted sweet potatoes yesterday, and she kept... "

"Shut up, little brat!"

"Qianye, let me tell you, I didn't sleep well last night! I finally opened the window to get some fresh air..."

"boom!"

Shihua slammed down her chopsticks and approached murderously.

Liuhua started to run, but her flexibility was no match for Shihua who did flexibility training every day. Before she could run two steps, she was grabbed by Shihua, pressed on the sofa and refined in an instant!

From Yuan Qianye's normal perspective, he could only see Rika's little fleshy legs flapping in the air, looking very happy.

After a while, Shihua felt refreshed.

Liuhua, who had eaten several chestnuts, covered her red forehead with her hands, and returned to the dining table with sparkling eyes, behaving much better.

But she still wanted to hang out with everyone.

"You don't have to look at me with such pitiful eyes. I just said that I was a little worried, but I didn't say I wouldn't go."

Yuan Qianye showed his phone to Liuhua.

He replied to the message and set the meeting time for the third day of the new year.

Neon also has a traditional custom that he is familiar with, similar to being the first to burn incense, so there will definitely be a lot of people at the beginning of the New Year, and on the third day the flow of people will definitely be much smaller.

After all, it was a rare invitation from Yukino, so it was not easy to refuse.

This can be considered as a perfect compromise between the actual situation and Yukino's feelings.

"Since you have already decided, you should have said it earlier..." Rika muttered softly, which caused her to be beaten up by the female demon in her family.

The living room of Yukinoshita's house at this moment.

Yang No saw her sister looking at her phone with a smile on her face, and she walked lightly to the back of the sofa with some concern.

"Oh, that's great. I've already made an appointment with Qianye."

"...!"

Her sister's voice suddenly rang in her ears, and Yukino stood up and turned around instantly, like a cat frightened by a cucumber.

Yang Nai rested her hands on the sofa supporting her chin, her body bent at 70 degrees, revealing the curves of her waist and hips, which was quite beautiful.

She smiled. "But I think what Mom meant was that she wanted you to invite him alone. The 'everyone' you sent out seems a bit redundant. How is this any different from just playing together as usual?"

Xue No was secretly reading her phone messages and was very dissatisfied at the moment: "That was my own choice, there is no need for my sister to worry."

Yang No shrugged: "Is that so? I hope you can say such words from the bottom of your heart without regret in the future."

She walked towards the courtyard after she finished speaking, but suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, Yukino, you said it was 'everyone', so can I come with you on the day of your visit?"

Seeing his sister's stunned reaction, the malicious Yang Nai was satisfied. He said "Just kidding" and walked away with his hands behind his back.

----

Today, Yuan Qianye arrived at the store with his father at around 11 o'clock in the morning as usual.

The two of them cleaned the windows and floor of the store and put the tables and chairs in order.

Touka will be coming to the store a little later today.

The weather is very good today. In addition to washing and hanging up everyone's clothes in the family as usual, she also plans to take down all the sheets and quilt covers in the house and wash them.

And today is also the day for the general cleaning of the house. It’s a new year and a new beginning, so the house should be clean.

Liuhua naturally couldn't escape and was dragged over to help, but she was quite happy to help. She was very happy to help her sister with household chores.

It definitely has nothing to do with the two thousand yuan that Onii-chan secretly stuffed into her pocket before she left!

Yuan Qianye has already grasped the general pattern of the current visitors to the March 7th Bar.

There won't be many customers during lunch time until around 2 p.m.

There will be a lot of customers during afternoon tea time from 2 to 5 o'clock.

After that, there will be a little more than an hour of free time, and then business will be good from seven o'clock until the early hours of the morning.

The same is true today.

The store had been open for over an hour, and it was already past midnight, with only two tables of customers arriving.

Minamoto no Sanada is more than capable of handling it all on his own.
