Chapter 341 Zeshan’s Christmas Dinner
At five o’clock in the afternoon, it was dusk.
As Tokyo gradually falls into the night and the cold wind blows, the number of people on the streets increases instead of decreasing. Even in areas like Shinjuku that cannot be regarded as commercial centers, there are many foreign tourists. Needless to say, there was a grand scene on the road. With the traffic jam, it was easy to get back to Osaka all the way from here.
At least from Ayano Yui’s point of view, that’s the case.
"Is there any mistake?"
With her hair combed into a single braid hanging in front of her body, Ayano Yui held a cup of hot coffee and stared speechlessly at the situation across the road. It was crowded with people. You can imagine how many people she would have to face after the light turned green. walked to the opposite side.
You should not go out.
Ayano Yui felt a little regretful, but it was useless. Today she not only had to go to school to hand in her homework, but also had to explain to the professor about her request for leave. After all, she had to go back to Osaka after Christmas. , in order to prevent the other party from finding her, she still had to report to the stern professor in advance.
After a while, the wonderful Christmas was wasted by me for a whole day, what on earth was I doing.
Ayano Yui sighed, a little depressed.
"If I had known this, I might as well have stayed at home."
She said to herself as if she was complaining: "And it's a big loss for me to ask where I am in the morning."< br>
I feel sad that I once again missed the opportunity to be alone with Haruno Sawayama.
The current situation is a bit urgent for her. Mana seems to have reconciled with Haruno, but this guy hasn't helped her yet. He noticed that other girls are getting closer to Haruno. Ayano Yui I see it in my eyes and feel anxious in my heart, I wish I could do something to Haruno now, even if it means drugging him.
She knows Haruno Sawayama better than anyone else. She knows very well that the other party has been deliberately avoiding her since the previous showdown. If it weren't for the relationship between the two and their return to Osaka after the holidays, I'm afraid Sawayama Haruno will also keep a certain distance from himself.
You can no longer give the other party time to think about how to deal with this relationship. You must cut the knot quickly. If you continue like this, let alone being a small child, you will no longer have the position to listen to the voice (the position in the corner will be taken by Mana). Robbed).
What should we do?
Ayano Yui took a deep breath and noticed that after the traffic light changed, she followed the pedestrians beside her and walked forward in silence.
When the two groups of people met and passed each other, unreasonable upset swept through the girl's heart. She subconsciously tightened the gift prepared for Haruno in her pocket, and her expression became increasingly impatient.
Annoying
After Ayano Yui forced herself to cross the road, she quickly quickened her pace. It wasn't until the number of pedestrians on the side gradually decreased that her expression returned to normal.
While thinking about her thoughts, she slowly walked back to the apartment. It was not until the ascending elevator slowly reached the corresponding floor that Ayano Yui came back to her senses a little. After getting out of the elevator, she walked to the right without thinking. Turn around, and the innermost one is Haruno Sawayama's home.
“Ding Dong——Ding Dong——”
Ayano Yui stepped forward and pressed the doorbell without thinking.
In less than half a minute, the people inside opened the door.
The door was opened by a girl who made Ayano Yui feel complicated, Maki Miyazawa. She said she liked it, but she couldn't like it, and she said she hated it, but she couldn't hate it. Sometimes she was more curious about what was going on in this guy's mind. If it were me, I would definitely not let Haruno have any chance of contact with other girls.
"Hey, isn't it cold outside?"
Maki Miyazawa looked at Ayano Yui outside in surprise, and said curiously: "You are dressed so thinly."< br>
"There is a velvet sweater inside."
Ayano Yui put on a business-like smile and said with a smile: "Merry Christmas, Sister Maki."
Although Maki Miyazawa is very young, she is still one year older than Ayano Yui, which is why she is a little inexplicably unhappy. Although the younger person seems to have an advantage, being only one year younger is of no use. Think of a way to defeat your opponent based on posture and experience.
I have never officially experienced it for the first time so far. I am a complete loser in this aspect. Damn it.
"Yi?"
Sawayama Haruno just happened to be A small household gas stove was brought out, and after hearing Ayano Yui's voice, he came over.
"We're almost ready. Come in and wash your hands and get ready to eat." He said with a faint smile.
"Eh?"
Ayano Yui looked at Haruno Sawayama in shock.
What's going on? Why does my brother wear glasses? Why does he feel so cute? I don't want to call him brother. I want him to call me sister.
"What's wrong?"
Sawayama Haruno was a little surprised by the other party's attitude, but he quickly realized it, touched his glasses and said helplessly: "This is Suguha The Christmas gift given to me is either myopia glasses or simply anti-blue light glasses.”
"Oh——"
Ayano Yui was still a little shocked. She blinked and gave her high praise.
"Wear it all the time from now on, please, please."
"From now on, I will only wear it when working."
The corners of Haruno Sawayama's eyes twitched slightly.
He probably understands the status of his appearance wearing glasses in the minds of a few people. Is this the temptation of brand-new skin from the factory? I was tired of seeing it before and now I want to change my taste, right?
“Hee hee.”
Ayano Yui didn’t mind what Haruno Sawayama said. Instead, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile: “Brother, prepare a Christmas gift for me. Did you prepare it every year when you were little? You haven’t given me a Christmas gift since you came to Tokyo.”
“I have prepared it”
I heard her say. After saying this, Sawayama Haruno felt helpless.
Regardless of the relationship between the two, gifts for the holidays are definitely indispensable. As for what Ayano Yui said about "when I was a child", they were just gifts that the other party insisted on giving by herself. That’s all.
Even after coming to Tokyo, he gave each other gifts, but by mail. In Ayano Yui's opinion, only gifts given in person can be considered gifts. This guy is really
" You happened to be here, so I’ll give it to you now.”
Seeing that Ayano Yui was so concerned about the gift, Sawayama Haruno thought about it and went back to his room and took out the gift he had prepared for her.
A diamond-encrusted and gold-plated pendant. To be honest, Haruno Sawayama thought this gift was a bit ridiculous, so he later added other things to it. Considering that Ayano Yui’s studies were in painting, he ran I went to Itoya in Ginza and bought a complete set of oil painting and watercolor tools, including paper, brushes, charcoal, and dyes.
Damn, that's expensive. When Haruno Sawayama was paying, he was stunned for a moment when he looked at the prices on the list. They added up to enough to buy two more pendants. No wonder others said that art is a major that only rich people can learn. These are just ordinary consumption items. The equipment is so expensive that it’s hard for ordinary people to afford it.
Fortunately, I made a lot of money by writing novels, and since it was given to someone close to me, I didn’t feel particularly distressed if it was more expensive.
“Hey, are all of these?”
Ayano Yui’s eyes suddenly brightened when she noticed the large bag of art supplies that Haruno Sawayama carried out from the room.
"I'll officially enroll in school next year. I'll give you another set then." Haruno Sawayama said with a smile.
"Thank you, brother."
Ayano Yui took the bag with a smile, and the contents inside successfully attracted her attention. Even Maki Miyazawa on the side was curious. I came over to take a look.
Ezaki Suguha happened to come out with the salmon that had been plated. Seeing everyone still lingering outside, she chuckled and said: "The dishes are all ready, it's almost time to start dinner."
Today’s dinner was extraordinarily sumptuous, not because the dishes were rich, but because Haruno Sawayama went out of his way to buy beef of several higher grades.
Some high-grade beef cannot be bought in ordinary supermarkets. The way he can think of is to make a reservation in advance from a high-end restaurant and then take a taxi to pick it up. Of course, this will also save a lot of effort. For example, he can order it in advance Let people prepare the semi-finished product, box it up and take it home before opening it.
As Sawayama Haruno and Ezaki Suguha brought all the dishes to the dining table, the dazzling array of raw meat ingredients and fresh vegetables with water droplets filled the entire space. Sawayama Haruno even I had to get an extra chair to put desserts and drinks. After another half day of tinkering, the Christmas dinner was finally ready to begin.
After Miyazawa Maki sat down, her eyes were fixed on the beef and refused to move away. Her saliva was about to flow down, but she restrained herself.
Can’t eat it yet.
Although today is Christmas and not yet the New Year, she feels that in this situation, the head of the family should say some symbolic words, which are simply to say some auspicious words to please the family.
Although this country does not have such customs in the strict sense, as the first person to live in Zeshan's house, she actually has some little ideas of her own.
If he had not been taken in by Haruno Sawayama, the ending today would probably be different.
"Haruno, do you want to say something?"
Ezaki Suguha put the prepared sparkling wine drink on the table and looked at Haruno Sawayama, who was sitting in the front, with a gentle expression. Said: "I have lived here for such a long time, and I feel like it has troubled you a lot."
"Why are you talking about this?"
Sawayama Haruno scratched his face.
He also noticed that both Maki and Ayano Yui were staring directly at him. It seemed that he was really embarrassed not to say something, but he really didn't know what to say. What.
After pondering for a while, Haruno Sawayama said leisurely: "I am the one who has troubled you a lot."
"Before I met Maki, I told the people around me They are not particularly concerned about it. They probably just want to live a good life. Right, but after being in contact with it for a long time, I realized that this approach would make me ignore a lot of things, whether it is interpersonal relationships or things that can be regarded as worth remembering."
Sawayama Haruno paused. It was as if he was thinking of another girl who was not present.
Because of his "not paying attention" characteristic, he didn't notice the matter between Miyazawa Mana and Mine Shiori at first, and even his family members, including his mother Sawayama Ako, had opinions.
I thought it would stay like this until the end, until that rainy night, when I stood in a convenience store and learned about Maki running away from home, it seemed that my subsequent life had undergone subtle changes.
His eyes flickered and he said softly: "I slowly realized that staring at my own path will hurt those who care about me and have good intentions."
"So I started to have some changes, although I don't know yet for good. It’s bad, but at least I won’t regret it when I’m sitting here now.”
“The same goes for Suguha, although you keep saying that you’ve caused trouble for me, but you also gave up a lot of things, right? Just live the way you want.”
Haruno Sawayama's eyes gradually moved from Maki Miyazawa to Suguha Esaki.
He still feels a little emotional about this tall young lady who comes from a famous family.
Although living in such a family environment is indeed much more depressing than others, what the Esaki family can give her is difficult for herself to give. Even if she becomes a literary giant in the future, she will not be able to follow Zheng'er. The eight classics have been passed down for hundreds of years and are compared to wealthy families.
What's more, the other party still follows him without asking for status. Even when it comes to matters between him and other girls, Esaki Suguha has helped a lot. All these things make him feel a little bit sad. It's getting complicated.
Fortunately, now Esaki Suguha is happy from the bottom of his heart, which also makes him feel relieved.
"Ayano Yui."
Sawayama Haruno's eyes finally fell on his cousin. It was rare for him to call her by her full name. However, when the words came to his lips, he hesitated. got up.
"Thank you." Haruno Sawayama recalled the past experience and added after a moment of silence, "You are equally important to me."
As soon as the words fell, on the dining table The atmosphere suddenly became weird. Sawayama Haruno regretted why he made the atmosphere so stiff. Everyone looked at each other in confusion and didn't know how to respond.
If I had known better, it would be better to just "I'm going to start". It's so difficult. No wonder most people in the island country shout this before eating and it's over. It's really embarrassing to say anything else.
"We are all people who value each other."
Fortunately, Suguha Ezaki was as virtuous as ever. She took the initiative to pick up the sparkling drink mixed with a small amount of alcohol on the table, smiled slightly and said: "I feel so sorry for the current situation. I am very satisfied with my life, so let’s toast.”
“Cheers~”
Miyazawa Maki’s eyes lit up, knowing that he could get rid of the inexplicably awkward and heavy atmosphere, and he quickly picked up the table. Clink drinks with others.
Her thoughts are very pure. She thinks what Haruno Sawayama said is actually quite good, but she seems a little unsuitable to speak in such a sensational scene. She is still suitable to make important speeches in bed. type!
That’s right, continue Elk 2.0 tonight!
We must regain the face we lost last night, and we must make Haruno Sawayama wear those glasses all the time with him and Suguha, the big DO and the special DO.
Maki’s great victory, yeah~
