In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

It rarely snows in Tokyo, no wonder she came here so early today.

Ryosuke got up from the bed, and while getting dressed, he thought of the girl with long black hair in his dream.

Senxia has a wide network of contacts, maybe she knows.

After he got dressed, he walked to the window and opened the curtains. The hazy winter sunlight shone on the snow.

The cherry trees in the open space downstairs were covered in a layer of silver, and the breaths of passers-by on the road turned into puffs of white smoke.

open the window.

The cold air is filled with a fresh scent, which is the freshness after the snow and the unique smell of winter.

This atmosphere makes people feel peaceful and comfortable, as if it can wash away people's inner troubles and worries.

"Morika, do you know a girl named Shiyu?" Ryosuke turned around and asked calmly.

The smile on Nibutani Morika's face suddenly froze, and the light in her eyes seemed to have disappeared.

She walked towards Ryosuke step by step stiffly like a zombie.

While walking, he kept muttering to himself.

"I was standing right in front of you, why was the first thing you did after getting up to ask another girl?"

"Shiyu? It's a cute name."

"When did you two meet? I have no idea. How many things have you been hiding from me?"

"Ryosuke~"

She stood on tiptoe and raised her head, almost touching Ryosuke's face, as she spoke the last sentence.

Ryosuke thought for a moment and said seriously: "It's the girl I met in my dream."

"Oh, so romantic, a date in a dream?" Nibutani Morika's eyes were dazed and she murmured unconsciously.

She reacted, her eyes quickly regained their luster, and she exclaimed, "In a dream?! Are you playing some new trick?"

Ryosuke organized his words and told Morika what happened. When asking for help, the more complete the information, the better.

Morixia is always the most serious about things related to him.

After listening to Ryosuke's story, Morika thought about it and found that she had no impression of this name.

So he crossed his arms over his chest and said sourly: "Humph, now you're awake from your dream, but it's a pity that your dream lover Shiyu-chan doesn't exist in reality."

I said this, but my heart was full of envy.

Damn, I also want to date him in my dreams, it sounds so enviable.

A galgame-style dream?

I'll have to go and ask Eriri what kind of games she has been playing with Ryosuke during this period of time when I have time.

Seeing that she had no idea, Ryosuke stopped dwelling on this topic and walked out of the room.

After washing up, go downstairs with her.

As soon as he got downstairs, Senxia rushed into the snow like a wild horse.

She picked up a handful of pure white snow and rubbed it with her tender little hands until the loose snowflakes turned into a round snowball.

"Wow, it's so cold!"

The girl's fair face was frozen red, and her breathing and speaking made a puff of white smoke.

Mori Xia took aim and shouted to Ryosuke, "Take it, this is Master Mori's winter limited magic, Frost Nova!"

The snowball wasn't very fast and an ordinary person could easily dodge it, but Ryosuke stood still.

Snapped!

The snowball hit his chest and suddenly scattered.

Morixia is actually very afraid of the cold, so compared to other children who like to play in the snow, she prefers to watch the snow.

Then she moved her little legs, trotted over to Ryosuke, and rubbed her hands expectantly.

Lian Lian complained quietly, "My hands are so cold, Ryosuke."

Ryosuke smiled slightly. His childhood sweetheart always followed the same routine every time it snowed.

He opened the pocket of his down jacket expertly.

Mori Xia excitedly put her hand into Ryosuke's pocket and held that gentle and strong hand.

Ryosuke held the girl's cold and smooth little hand in his pocket.

This little action made Nibutani Morika stunned for a moment.

"Let's go, finish shopping and come back early, we have soba noodles tonight." Ryosuke looked at the girl next to him and said softly.

This is a New Year's Eve custom that has been passed down since the Edo period.

Because soba noodles are easier to cut than other noodles, it symbolizes cutting off the bad luck of the past year.

Morixia shrank her neck into the scarf and her ears turned a little red.

Finally, she looked at the road ahead, smiled sweetly, and said with full energy: "Soba, soba, let's go!"

Chapter 125 New Year's Eve

New Year’s Eve is a day for family reunion.

20pm, Hiratsuka's house.

Shizuka Hiratsuka sat with her two cats at home, looking at the girl sitting with Ryosuke.

She asked with some resentment, "Hey, Morika-chan, is it really okay for you to be at my house on a day like today?"

meow~

meow~

The two little female cats, who had always been at odds with Hiratsuka Shizuka, now seemed to be on the same front.

Nibutani Morika turned her head and blinked her moist eyes, smiling, "I had the New Year's Eve dinner at home, and my parents knew I was playing next door."

Hiratsuka Shizuka remained silent, but just clasped her hands across her chest and began shaking her round, slender legs.

In the past, she celebrated the New Year in her hometown in Chiba Prefecture. After the New Year’s Eve dinner, she and Ryosuke were alone.

Shizuka Hiratsuka had a small wish tonight, which was to let Ryosuke call "Oune-chan" more often at home.

Although that name was a bit too much, she liked it very much.

But now that there are outsiders here, I would definitely feel embarrassed to make such a request.

Ryosuke noticed Sister Shizuka's gaze and was a little confused.

What's with that withdrawal-like look?

Didn’t Sister Jing just drink some wine?

The voice of the girl beside him brought his thoughts back to reality.

Nibutani Morika frowned, counted on his fingers and began to mutter to himself, "Hatsuuma, swinging the gate pine, hanging the New Year's rope, there are still many, many things to do."

Then she turned her head, stared at Ryosuke with her sharp eyes, and gave him instructions seriously.

"The most important thing is tonight. This is our first time celebrating the New Year together. There are only about four hours left. You have to hold on. Don't go to bed early. Keep your eyes open and witness the arrival of the New Year with me!"

Ryosuke waved his hand and replied helplessly: "Just don't go to bed yet, it's quite cold outside, and I will have to take you back later."

Upon hearing this, Nibutani Morika was stunned at first, then nodded with a smile.

Then she turned her head, and at an angle that no one else could see, her eyes rolled around twice.

……

On the other side, Chiba Prefecture.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Yukinoshita, my young master is in Tokyo and won't be back this year."

"I see."

Yukino's face was expressionless, and her voice contained no emotion.

She clutched a 1000 yen bill, glanced at the gate of the Hiratsuka residence, and turned to leave.

Didn’t he say he would be back in the New Year?

I still want to redeem my sachet, but it seems I have to wait until next time.

……

Just after midnight, the new year begins.

clang clang ~

In reality and on TV, the New Year’s bells rang at the same time.

Ryosuke sat on the sofa and glanced at Morixia who was sleeping on his shoulder.

We said we wanted to celebrate New Year’s together, but we both fell asleep.

New Year's greeting text messages are a must-have every year.

Ryosuke just took out his cell phone and before he had time to edit the message, many new messages popped up one after another.

The time is always zero.

"Ryosuke, Happy New Year, and um...are the gloves still suitable?"

"Idiot, you're not asleep, are you? You have to work hard with me this year!"

……

"Happy New Year, Hiratsuka-kun."

Ryosuke replied one by one.

In elementary school, he had few friends.

And now, people other than his family also send him New Year greetings text messages.

This feeling of being cared for doesn't seem bad.

Ryosuke put down his phone and planned to take Morika home.

He picked up Morixia gently and carried her like a princess.

The girl was so light that he hardly had to use any strength.

He adjusted his posture, turned his head and whispered, "Sister, I'll take her back first."

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded.

As soon as Ryosuke walked to the door, he heard the soft and boneless girl in his arms making unconscious murmurs like a cat.

"Ryosuke, let's go to the New Year's Day together."

When he saw the other person's performance, a faint smile appeared on his face.

It seems that Morixia is very much looking forward to it. She is still talking in her sleep even when she falls asleep.

So he didn't care whether the girl in his arms could hear him or not, and whispered back, "Well, let's go together."

For some reason, the door of the house next door was ajar and not closed properly.

He gently kicked the door open and walked into the Nibutani household.

As they passed by the living room, the Nibutani couple seemed to be so absorbed in the show on TV that they paid no attention to what was happening behind them.

Ryosuke carried Morika to her bedroom, and the whole space was filled with the faint fragrance that belonged only to the girl.

He slowly placed the girl on the bed, afraid to wake her up.

When Ryosuke passed by the living room again.

He walked to the sofa and whispered to Mrs. Nibutani, "Aunt Nibutani, Morixia fell asleep. I sent her back."

Mrs. Nibutani said with a smile: "Ah, Ryosuke, thank you for your trouble. Leave the rest to me."

Ryosuke nodded and walked towards the door.
