In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

Hesha nodded with a sense of relief, but she still couldn't calm down so easily.

After a while, she suddenly thought of something and her face suddenly became anxious.

She forgot to bring a gift!

Yuan Qianye had come to her house several times before, but he always came with things in his hands!

Is it really appropriate for her to just go there empty-handed?

"Um... why don't we get off here?"

Hesha supported the seat with her right hand and leaned her upper body towards Yuan Qianye.

Her windbreaker was unbuttoned, and although she was young, her curves were visible under the tight sweater.

Does excessive sweets consumption really contribute to physical development? Or are children from wealthy families simply better off with good nutrition from a young age?

"What's wrong?" Yuan Qianye noticed outside the car window that they were passing by a shopping mall.

Kazusa said honestly, "I have to buy something to bring with me if I bother you at your house."

Yuan Qianye understood her concerns and replied nonchalantly, "It's okay, my family doesn't care about that."

But Kazusa was still worried: "But that would make me look impolite."

At this time, the middle-aged driver, who had been driving peacefully, joined the conversation: "Girl, is this your first time going to your boyfriend's house? It's okay, as long as you have the intention. You are so cute and beautiful. When you go to your boyfriend's house, just eat sweets, be active and do small things within your ability. There will be no problem."

The driver was simply giving a kind reminder, but he completely misjudged the relationship between the two passengers in the back seat.

Hesha was now like a shrimp in a steamer, her whole body red. She wanted to resolve this misunderstanding, but she was unable to organize her words effectively for the moment.

It was Yuan Qianye who finally explained, "Master, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend."

The driver, who boasted of his extensive experience with men, was taken aback: "Huh? They're so well-matched, but they're not boyfriend and girlfriend?"

What is this uncle talking about...

The steamed prawns now turned into a locomotive at departure, and steam seemed to be coming out of Hesha's head.

But Kazusa, having experienced the baptism and training of various piano competitions, managed her expression perfectly, even adding, "We are... just friends."

"Really?... I misunderstood. Sorry."

No...there's no need to be embarrassed.

The taxi arrived at Yuan Qianye's house, and the meter showed a fare of more than 15,000 yuan.

Hesha insisted on paying and handed two 10,000 yuan bills to the driver without asking for change.

After getting out of the car, Hesha noticed Yuan Qianye's subtle gaze and said coolly with her hands in her pockets: "What?"

"No, I was just admiring the rich woman."

"You idiot, I just think it's not easy for the driver to drive a taxi during the Chinese New Year."

"Not only is he rich, but he's also kindhearted. If you meet a bad man like this, you'll definitely be cheated."

"Don't worry about it."

Gen Qianye smiled and walked into his house with Touma Kazusa.

"I am back."

----

The Yuan family is very lively tonight.

More than five o'clock in the afternoon.

After finishing work at the store, Runzi’s mother went straight home to prepare a sumptuous meal for tonight.

Liuhua was originally helping, but after she dropped the dough that her mother had kneaded with great difficulty from the stove into the trash can.

Her mother, who was already in a panic, took off her apron and pushed her back to the living room.

As for the little one at home, we really can’t have too high expectations for her. Just be responsible and cute. If she doesn’t help, it will be the biggest help we can offer.

A little later, around six o'clock, Busujima Saeko knocked on the door and came to disturb us.

She and her father depended on each other for survival. Now her father was far away abroad. Yuan Qianye invited her early on, considering that she was alone.

Eriri actually had the same behavior, but after careful consideration, Saeko finally chose to trouble Gen Chiye.

It's not just because there are two other girls in the Yuan family who are good friends.

It's also because she naturally thinks that she is closer to Minamoto Chiya than to Sawamura Eriri.

Busujima Saeko would not choose to deceive herself in this regard, she sees it very clearly.

On the special night of New Year's Eve, she brought a three-layer lunch box filled with some meals she made at home.

Black beans, dried herring roe, fried anchovies, red and white fish cakes, etc.

The portion of the dishes was not large, but the variety was rich and the meaning was good, which was her thoughtful gesture.

When she arrived at the Gen family, she naturally took the apron that Rika had taken off and put it on.

Even though Runzi's mother tried her best to refuse on the grounds that she was a guest, she still insisted on working in the kitchen together, and the two of them laughed and talked happily all the time.

Minamoto and Touka also returned after the bar closed.

The kitchen was small, and with Tohka joining in to help, it was already a bit crowded. Gen Sanada naturally stopped interfering and, after greeting the guests cordially, went to the bathroom to take a bath after a long absence.

Today is his day off, and he will have to return to his busy work tomorrow.

At half past eight, Liuhua, who was on standby in the living room, heard the door opening at the entrance. She put down the tangerines in her hand, came out from the table stove, and ran to greet her.

"Mom, Qianye is back with guests!"

Faced with the cute girl who ran over with curiosity as soon as she entered the door, Hesha seemed particularly reserved.

Especially after the girl shouted, the three people who leaned out from the kitchen at the same time looked over here with a look that made Hesha feel at a loss.

Unlike his own large garden house which was deserted, this small traditional house was bustling with activity.

The moment you enter the house, you can smell the rich aroma of food. The sound of the range hood and the TV blend together in this small space, giving it a strong smell of home.

Runzi's mother wiped her hands with a tissue and walked over with a gentle smile: "Welcome back, Qianye."

She looked at Hesha, and her expression became more friendly: "You must be Ms. Yoko's daughter Hesha, right? I have received a lot of care from your mother in the past."

"……Hello."

Kazusa tried her best to maintain a forced smile.

Seeing this, Yuan Qianye started introducing them to each other.

"Hurry up and change your shoes and come in. It's very cold outside. Qianye told me that your mother is not at home these days. If you don't mind, you can come to your aunt's house every day to play."

"Thank you, aunt..."

Kazusa bowed slightly politely again.

Overall, apart from being a little uncomfortable at the beginning, Hesha gradually relaxed in the subsequent process thanks to Yuan Qianye acting as a middleman to lubricate the process.

Aunt Runzi was the most affectionate person and was his mother.

The cute girl who came to the entrance to greet him at the beginning was called Rikka Takanashi, and she was his sister.

The one who looks somewhat similar and also has adobe hair on his head, but looks more mature and beautiful, is called Touka Takanashi, and she is his sister.

As for the one with long straight purple hair, Hesha could recognize her at a glance without even Yuan Qianye introducing her.

After returning home from Christmas Eve, she found the kendo competition that Yuan Qianye had participated in on the Internet and was attracted by his neat and handsome posture.

He was also impressed by the kendo girl who had appeared in front of the camera as many times as he did.

If I remember correctly...

"Hello, I'm Saeko Busujima, Chiya-kun's friend and a senior at school."

When walking from the entrance to the kitchen door, Busujima Saeko smiled and greeted Touma Kazusa.

Yuan Qianye added, "He's also the president of the club I belong to."

The two looked at each other and smiled gently, showing their perfect understanding.

Kazusa took in the entire scene and replied dryly and concisely, "Hello, I'm Touma Kazusa."

"Please give me your guidance, Touma-san."

Runzi's mother led her to the living room and sat her down, then hurriedly told Rika to pour hot tea for Kazusa.

Just as Liuhua agreed and was about to do so, Yuan Qianye called her and said, "Touma likes sweet drinks. Bring us some juice from home."

"Hey, but I finished drinking it at home during the day."

Yuan Qianye's eyes were dim: "That's a large bottle of 2.5 liters."

"Hehe..." Rikka scratched her head embarrassedly.

Runzi's mother didn't care and took out some banknotes from her purse: "It's okay, just ask Liuhua to go to the nearby supermarket and buy it back."

Liuhua took the money, saluted and said yes, then ran to the entrance.

"...!"

Hesha is not good at speaking, and she can't get a word in at this time.

It's true that she likes sweets, but it's not to the extent that she can't eat non-sweet food or drinks.

How come this big idiot acts so spoiled just after coming to visit?

First impression ruined!

Hesha didn't know what to do, and finally could only secretly touch Yuan Qianye's calf with her toes. After he looked at her, she pursed her lips, puffed up her cheeks slightly, and shook her head desperately.

Yuan Qianye understood and called Liuhua back: "Don't go. I just came back from outside. It's very cold outside. You will catch a cold if you catch a cold again."

Rikka turned back: "But doesn't Touma-san want to drink juice?"

"Tea is fine too, go make some."

"okay."

Rika happily put the money back into her pocket and went to the kitchen, where she was hit on the head by Runzi's mother.

After some polite greetings, Hesha finally sat down by the stove accompanied by Yuan Qianye.

She was quite curious about this device that she could put her legs into to keep warm. Yuan Qianye noticed her little action of quietly lifting the tablecloth to look inside.

Shihua brought the freshly rolled dough and fillings to the stove. She explained, "I prepared it as you said, but there's not enough space in the kitchen, so I can only do it here."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qianye took off his shirt and handed it to Rikka, then volunteered to pull up his sleeves: "Then leave the rest to me, Rikka, you go and do your thing."

Shihua's gaze moved down from Qianye's face without any expression.

After he took off his coat, his solid chest was particularly obvious under his shirt.

Has this guy gotten a little stronger?

"Is it okay for you to be alone? I'll start boiling water and steaming the tempura after we finish frying it."

"No problem, there aren't that many."

At this time, Kazusa beside her also said: "I can help too."

Yuan Qianye looked at her suspiciously: "Your hand is insured, so it's not impossible..."

His calf was lightly kicked under the stove again, and he was forced to interrupt his words.

Kazusa continued, "It's totally fine to help with the preparations."

"Oh, that's it... Thank you so much, Touma-san."

Touka looked at them both thoughtfully before returning to the kitchen and getting busy again.

Yuan Qianye took Hesha, who wanted to show her strengths, and sat down by the stove again after washing her hands.

Liuhua originally wanted to help, but was rejected by Yuan Qianye.

This girl is a troublemaker. When everyone was sitting in a circle making dumplings, she quietly put a coin into one of the dumplings.

Shihua, who was unaware of the situation, ate it and almost broke her teeth.
