Mygo, this is not the ending I want!

Until the sky outside was completely dark, the street lights came on, and the lights in the houses seemed so warm. There were not many people on the streets outside, and everyone was waiting for the New Year's Eve dinner at home.

It took a while before all the dishes were ready.

The Chihaya couple brought the prepared plates to the table one by one.

There is a rich variety of fish, mutton, beef and various seafood.

White mist visible to the naked eye rose from each dish.

The aroma mixed and filled the air.

"Okay, let's eat!"

Mrs. Chihaya took off her apron and hung it up in the kitchen before coming out.

Everyone sat at the dining table.

"I'm starting!"*4

A very delicious New Year's Eve dinner was thus prepared.

"By the way, Aine, what is your New Year's wish?" Mrs. Chihaya asked.

Chihaya Aine thought about it, then her face turned a little red.

"My New Year's wish...I won't tell you!" Chihaya Aine turned her head away in panic.

And there was a penetrating smile on Mrs. Chihaya's lips.

In order to hide her embarrassment, Chihaya Aine looked at Suzuki Suke and asked, "Suzuki Suke, what is your New Year's wish?"

Suzuki Jie paused slightly with the chopsticks in his hand.

"As for me...I hope the band can get better and better." Suzuki said with a hearty smile.

"Aine, don't you want to know what mom and dad wish for? How biased!" Mrs. Chihaya, who was standing by, covered her chest with her hands, looking hurt.

"Of course I want to know." Chihaya Aine hurriedly took care of her parents who were left out. "So, what are your New Year's wishes, Mom and Dad?"

"I hope Aine can find someone she likes." Mrs. Chihaya said with a giggle.

There was a hint of teasing in her eyes.

Chihaya Aine avoided looking at her mother.

"I hope Aine can be happy every day." Mr. Chihaya said with a smile. Different from Mrs. Chihaya's playful smile, Mr. Chihaya's smile was more dignified. Perhaps it was because of his work that he developed such a gentle and upright temperament.

Suzukisuke felt that Mr. Chihaya was a very reliable person.

"I also hope that mom and dad can be happy every day." Chihaya Aine said very obediently.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Suzuki Jie chatted with everyone for a while and then prepared to leave.

And Mrs. Chihaya said, "Suke, won't you celebrate New Year's Eve with us?"

In her opinion, it was too cruel to let a child stay alone at home and watch the clock point to twelve o'clock, so she hoped that Suzukisuke could be with them.

"Yes, since we have the New Year's Eve dinner together, we are family, so it is only natural for us to celebrate the New Year together, right?" Chihaya Aine took the initiative to say.

Mr. Chihaya on the side had no objection, but he looked at his daughter with a helpless smile on his face.

Suzukisuke was somewhat moved by the enthusiasm of Mrs. Chihaya and Chihaya Aine.

"Actually... we've already discussed with Aine about letting you stay and celebrate New Year's Eve with us. We've already prepared your room, so don't refuse." Mr. Chihaya said his final words.

Seeing that everyone was very enthusiastic, Suzuki nodded.

"it is good."

So, this New Year, he stayed at Chihaya Aine's house.

The clock pointed to twelve o'clock, and everyone was cheering and celebrating the arrival of the new year.

Suzukisuke followed Mrs. Chihaya to the room they had prepared for them.

The room was spacious and the sheets were all made for us.

Chihaya Aine looked at him and smiled, "Good night, Jie."

"Good night."

Suzukisuke nodded in response and walked into the room.

Mrs. Chihaya closed the door for him and everyone returned to their respective rooms to have a good sleep.

The next morning, everyone in the Chihaya family got up.

However, they had no idea of getting up before dawn to climb the mountain or go to a very high place to watch the sunrise. That would be too tiring. New Year is a day for everyone to be happy, and the Chihaya family did not want to be so tired, so everyone stood in the yard and watched the sun rising in the sky.

Although I don’t want to be too tired, there is still a sense of ritual in standing in the yard and watching the sun.

Afterwards, everyone went to a nearby temple together.

Everyone asks for blessings from the gods, hoping for good luck to start the new year better.

At noon, Mrs. Chihaya suddenly seemed to remember something: "Oh, I almost forgot..."

Mrs. Chihaya returned to the room and took out two red envelopes. The red envelopes looked very thick and a little bulging. She handed them to Chihaya Aine and Suzuki Suke respectively.

"Take them all. I should have given them to you this morning, but I forgot in my rush to the temple... Sorry."

Chihaya Aine was very happy, "That's great, I've been looking forward to the New Year's money for a long time. I thought my mother wasn't going to give it to me..."

Suzuki took the generous red envelope and said, "Thank you, Auntie!"

"Little money-grubber!" Mrs. Chihaya teased her daughter with a smile.

Chihaya Aine immediately opened the red envelopes and counted them one by one.

"There are actually fifteen 10,000 yen bills!" Chihaya Aine was a little surprised, and she happily put the money into her small wallet.

Suzuki Jie was embarrassed to count money in front of others.

Perhaps noticing the boy's shyness, Mrs. Chihaya smiled and said, "Yours are the same."

Suzukisuke blinked. That means 150,000 yen?

This is not a small amount of money.

Suzuki suddenly felt that the red envelope in his hand was a little too heavy. He didn't know what to do: "Auntie...is it too much..."

He was just a high school student, and 150,000 yen was already more than many people's monthly salary. In his opinion, it was very embarrassing to take so much money from others all of a sudden.

Mrs. Chihaya didn't care at all: "It's okay, if you feel embarrassed, you can be nicer to Aine in the new year~"

She blinked and smiled at her daughter and the handsome boy.

Chihaya Aine shyly turned her head away: "Mom!"

Mrs. Chihaya pretended not to notice.

In fact, she couldn't give Aine so much money at once before, but Suzukisuke was spending the New Year at her house and the child was an orphan, so she couldn't help but feel pity for her.

She was afraid that the child might have a difficult life at home without any financial resources, so she thought of giving him more New Year's money to improve his living conditions.

That's why she gave both children 150,000 yen at once.

"Okay, now you all have money, you can go out and have fun on your own."

Mr. Chihaya on the side said with a smile.

Chihaya Aine nodded, "That's right, Jie, let's go!"

She pulled on Suzukisuke's sleeve.

The two of them came to the big market and strolled around.

There are many snacks in the market, and some traditional snacks can only be eaten at this time.

The two of them ate a lot of food that they didn't usually eat and also played some fun activities like scooping goldfish and hitting balloons.

Chihaya Aine also specially bought a fox mask for Suzuki Suke.

Suzukisuke thought it was a child's toy so he kept it in his hand.

"Put it on, put it on!" Chihaya Aine clapped her hands and looked at Suzuki Suke expectantly.

Chihaya Aine's sweet smile made it difficult for Suzukisuke to refuse her request.

So he had to put on the mask and asked, "How is it?"

The mask covered half of Suzukisuke's face, leaving only his mouth and nose exposed, but this actually added a touch of mystery to him.

Chihaya Aine stood in front of him, then raised her head and pinched her chin to examine him carefully: "Very beautiful, a bit like the legendary fox demon scholar who deceives girls."

"If you say that, I will lie to you and eat you!" Suzuki Jie said fiercely, bending his fingers and opening his mouth.

"Hehehe..." The girl laughed out loud, she hoped in her heart that Suzukisuke would do this.

Suzukisuke took another pink fox mask from the vendor and handed it to Chihaya Aine.

"If I wear it, you have to wear it too, otherwise it's not fair!"

"Okay." Chihaya Aine was delighted to receive the gift from Suzuki Suke. She put on the pink fox mask in her hand. In Suzuki Suke's eyes, she looked like a pink-haired vixen, and she looked quite cute.

She raised her head, put her hands on her hips, looked at Suzukisuke and said, "How is it? Does it look good?"

The girl's charming look made Suzukisuke a little stunned. After a moment, he spoke:

“Wow… it looks great… this mask suits Aine perfectly!”

Chihaya Aine was very satisfied with Suzuki Suke's appearance. She picked up her phone and stood with Suzuki Suke, "Suke, squat down a little. Let's take a photo together."

Suzuki Suke obediently tried his best to make himself level with Chihaya Aine.

The two people squeezed their faces into the camera and seemed a little close. Chihaya Aine stretched out her other hand, made a "yeah" gesture, and then took the photo.

After the photo was taken, Suzuki Jie straightened up.

Chihaya Aine looked at the photo on her phone and sent it to Suzuki: "This is a photo of the two of us, please cherish it!"

Suzukisuke nodded, looked at the photo twice and then put his phone in his pocket.

The two continued to wander around the gathering for a while until they were a little tired and then returned home.

At night, fireworks were set off outside the window, and Chihaya Aine posted a photo of herself and Suzuki Suke on her social media.

Because Chihaya Aine has strong social skills, many people liked her post after seeing it.

"Wow, is this Aine's boyfriend? So handsome..."

“Aine is so pretty…”

Chihaya Aine happily replied one by one.

"He's not my boyfriend, he's a good friend from the band."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

On the other side, Shiina Riki was in his room.

She saw Chihaya Aine's updates.

Suddenly she didn't know what was wrong with her and just kept staring at the photo.

A strange emotion emerged in her heart.

envious? envy?

These emotions were mixed in her heart.

On the other hand, Shiina Maki does not have any friends with Chihaya Aine.

She also didn't see any photos of Suzukisuke and Chihaya Aine.

She just knew that it was New Year and she should send blessings to Suzuki Suke. She had to go to the temple with her family during the day and was only free at night, so she took the initiative to call Suzuki Suke in the room.

At this time, Suzuki Suke was being pulled into the room by Chihaya Aine to play console games. The game they were playing before had not been finished yet.

Suddenly, his cell phone vibrated.

Suzuki paused the game and took out his cell phone.

"It's Maki-san's call."
