The day after Christmas..,

Akira Tsurumi also came back.

As he said in the email, he brought a souvenir for Lilo Tsurumi. It was a very local handicraft,

It was small and simple,

Whether it was in the bedroom or the living room, it looked very good.

Lilo Tsurumi, who received the gift, instantly felt her heart soften like water,

She felt that she was surrounded by warm family love, and she almost revealed a moved expression with tears in her eyes.

But just as she raised her eyes and stared at Akira Tsurumi, she hesitated for two seconds and was about to speak,

The latter added with a dead fish eye expression, "If you don't like it, give it back to me,

Don't waste money. "

Lilo Tsurumi: "..."

So she gave Akira Tsurumi a taste of the latter's iron fist of love that he had not seen for a few days.

The New Year was around the corner,

Even though the two young people did not pay as much attention to customs as the elders of the previous generation and did not know much about traditional culture, they were still determined to spend this day that had always represented an important meaning. They imitated the adults in their memories and began to clean the house and add all kinds of things to the house.

Lilo Tsurumi originally thought that she had been in a financial pinch recently,

She might be embarrassed at such a time when she needed to spend money, but one day when she went to pay the utility bill, she found that there was a lot of money on her card.

It was exactly 300,000 yuan.

She immediately thought of the origin of the money.

She had originally planned to call the person who had transferred the money to her account after she went home,

But after a series of busywork..,

She unknowingly threw this thought out of the window.

But the next morning..,

The person in question very consciously delivered himself to the door..

However, although it was a "morning" in the ordinary sense..,

For the girl who had been running around for the past two days and had finally finished everything with great difficulty, she was looking forward to a completely relaxed sleep..,

It was still too early.

[That child, this child..,

Get up together..,

Hurry up and dance..

From the slanted shadow of the telephone pole, the funny artist appeared ~ no matter when, don't be confused ~]

"Oh …" Lilo Tsurumi was woken up by her phone's ringtone. Her mind was still hazy and she only consciously let out a short groan.

Her eyes were tightly shut, and her hair was messy, hanging down and covering half of her face. From the fact that she had been woken up by the ringing but did not respond for a long time, it was obvious that she was still very sleepy.

The ringtone had already rung a few times before she slowly stretched out a hand from under the quilt. Based on her instincts and memory, she reached for the cupboard beside the bed and fumbled around on the surface of the cupboard.

[The store in the station is so famous ~]

The cheerful ringtone continued to ring. Her slender hand searched the bedside table for a moment before she finally found the source of the music.

Then, she grabbed the phone and held it in front of her. She struggled to open her eyes a little.

Through the soft hair in front of her eyes, she vaguely saw the caller ID displayed on the screen.

Then, in a string of Japanese characters, he recognized the word "hazel name."

Her brain continued to operate sluggishly.

After thinking for a few seconds, Lilo Tsurumi realized who was calling her so early in the morning. She looked at the time at the top of the screen again. Ah, it wasn't early in the morning, it was already noon.

She pressed the answer button, turned over, and put the phone directly to her ear. Her arm fell to the side as if it had no strength.

"Ashi ashi ashi?"

Just by listening to the voice transmitted through the phone, it was as if she could smell the sunshine on the person on the other end of the phone. "Ashi ashi ashi!

Good morning! "

Lilo Tsurumi was puzzled. "Isn't it already noon?"

"But Lili shouldn't have woken up yet, right?

So it's morning for you.

How about it? Are you going to eat breakfast after waking up? "

Ming Ming's voice was low, but his tone was unusually cheerful, and this way of speaking did not make people feel uncomfortable. It was probably one of the unique charms of this person.

And this answer could be said to understand Lilo Tsurumi quite well.

"Yes …" she answered vaguely. She didn't explain which question she was answering, but at this point, the other party could more or less understand what she meant.

Sure enough, he followed up with another question. "Well, I'll be at your door in about 30 minutes. I can bring you breakfast on the way. Is there anything in particular you want to eat?"

Lilo Tsurumi thought for a while and answered. "Bring one more, my brother probably hasn't eaten yet … I want to drink soy milk.

Thank you, Brother Cheng. "

"Please wait a moment." The other side replied briskly.

After putting down the phone, the drowsiness from before had subsided a lot, and her mind was slowly becoming clearer.

After rolling around on the bed for a while, Lilo Tsurumi reluctantly left the bed.

After washing up, she walked around the room, but did not see the black-haired boy's figure. So, she went to his room and knocked on his door. After knocking for a long time, there was no response, so she put her hands on her waist and shouted.

"Akira Tsurumi!

Get up! "

"Get up, get up, get up, get up!!!"

They were probably biological siblings. The person in the room was so good at lazing in bed that he had inherited her skills.

And Lilo Tsurumi was very clear about her level. She only needed to think for a moment to quickly find a solution.

She took a deep breath and counted in her heart. One, two, three.

"Akira Tsurumi, get up!!!!!"

In an instant, birds flew thousands of mountains flew thousands of paths, and people disappeared without a trace in ten steps … Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the room, as if a heavy object had fallen from high up in the sky.

And by the time the boy whose hair had become a chicken's nest opened the door for her, the doorbell rang while rubbing his butt and yawning as he obediently went to wash his face and brush his teeth.

Lilo Tsurumi only had time to fiercely leave a sentence in his ear. "You must be obedient, cute, and polite later."

The scene changed. The girl skipped to the entrance and opened the door. The person outside the door immediately held the express delivery package with both hands and raised it high in front of her eyes. "A late Christmas greeting, and an early Happy New Year!

… But this is not the present I prepared for you, haha. "

Should I call him a boy or a man? Because he was in between the two boundaries, a very delicate area.

Underneath his beautiful blonde hair was a pair of orange-colored eyes that were warmer and clearer. His nose was straight, and the corners of his mouth were open in a refreshing smile that revealed his teeth. According to him, he could "perfectly capture the hearts of women between the ages of eight and eighty." His entire face was handsome without any aggression, and even the curve of his jawline was perfect.

There was no need to consider his excellent figure, temperament, and personality. Just by looking at his face, one could give him a perfect score.

Lilo Tsurumi looked at his appearance and widened her eyes in surprise. "It's already so late. Isn't the company closed yet?"

Dressed in the courier company's uniform, Hazen Mingcheng laughed again. "Ah, ah, that. In fact, I can call it a day after delivering your goods. I deliberately left this one for last."

He handed her the package, the delivery slip, and the signature pen. He walked into the house and closed the door behind him. "But if the person who sent you this Christmas gift finds out about it, they might complain to me angrily."

"Huh?"

The girl quickly signed the receipt and held the long and flat package. She looked left and right. "The sender's name is only AS … I can't guess who it is."

She casually put the package on the shelf beside her and turned her head to greet Hazel Ming Cheng, "Come in … Ah, I put your shoes on the bottom floor of the shoe cabinet. The pair on top is my brother's."

"Hehe." She stuck out her tongue and handed him the receipt and the pen. "Give me the breakfast first. Wow, it smells good."

The blonde man (Let's just call him a man. Although he's young, he's quite mature and reliable) put away the important documents and crouched down to take out a pair of men's slippers from the bottom of the shoe cabinet. It's the pair of slippers that he's worn many times and was designated by the owner of the house as "Big Brother Ben Mingcheng's exclusive".

"I'll stay for a while. I have to go back to the company before two o 'clock in the afternoon." He said in a relaxed tone.

The girl led the man to the dining room.

In fact, the latter had been in this house many times. He was very familiar with all the furnishings and functions. Because of their friendship, he could come and go as he pleased.

Lilo Tsurumi did not have to lead him to the destination like a host receiving a guest.

But there was obviously another reason for doing so today. She waved to the boy sitting in the living room. "Come and have breakfast."

When Tsurugi Jianming slowly dragged his feet over, a pair of black eyes turned, and in a way that Tsurugi Jianming was very familiar with, his gaze lingered on the blonde man.

She cleared her throat and introduced him solemnly. "This is a big brother who took care of me a lot when I first came to Japan. His name is Hazen Mingcheng."

Hazen Mingcheng smiled brightly at the right time. "I work part-time at a courier company. I'm responsible for this area. People usually look for me when they receive packages, so I'm quite familiar with the residents here."

The girl nodded and replied, "This is my younger brother, Akira Tsurumi. He's addicted to computers and has social difficulties."

Akira Tsurumi was speechless.

Not to mention the solemn tone she used before, her attitude was more like "Ah, then I'll just say something by the way". Just the content of the introduction made it seem like she was badmouthing him in front of outsiders.

"Huh?"

Hazen Mingcheng, an "outsider", obviously gave him more face than his own sister. "Do you like to play games?

Or maybe it's related to hacking?

That's so cool. "

For the sake of his sister, Tsuru Jianming responded to the other party's question in a friendly manner, "I like to research programs and stuff like that."

The three of them chatted casually.

Hazen Mingcheng brought Chinese fried dough sticks and soy milk that she had never seen in her neighborhood. They were ready-made and exuded a mouth-watering aroma.

This man was always able to show his remarkable side in some strange places.

[Note: There are almost no fried dough sticks in Japan. Even if there are, they are the "American fried dough sticks" sold in supermarkets.]

The girl was satisfied, but Akira Tsurumi didn't have the consciousness of being able to eat authentic fried dough sticks in Japan. It was like being able to buy strawberry milk. Tsurumi Tsurumi felt that his calm face at the moment was a kind of ignorant happiness.

"About that … After the prize money was given out, the money I borrowed from you has been transferred back to your card. Did you receive it?"

Hazen Mingcheng asked. After getting a positive answer from the girl, he showed a distressed and guilty expression. "Before coming here today, I was hesitating whether to apologize to you."

Lilo Tsurumi was confused. "Apologize?

Why? "

"Originally, I was wondering if I should use such an expression." That handsome face was full of dejection, like some kind of pitiful large dog, with its ears perked up, and looked at her with watery eyes. "Let me tell you, I didn't prepare a gift for you during such an important holiday like Christmas."

But the next second, the pitiful expression disappeared. He raised his eyebrows and looked as energetic as usual. "But I feel that it's completely unnecessary."

"Sitting on the ground or bowing ninety degrees, thanking you from the bottom of my heart with tears in my eyes. You lent me the money during my most difficult time. It doesn't seem necessary."

The man had a warm smile as usual, and the way he said these words was no different from his usual joking manner. But Lilo Tsurumi knew that he was serious at the moment.

In fact, when she was not familiar with Hazen Mingcheng, she often compared him to Kawase Ryota.

Blonde hair, warm and cheerful, lively tone, frivolous attitude, irresistible self-familiarity, and some quirks in his speech.

When these characteristics were placed in front of the lovelorn girl, almost at first glance, she had a bad impression of the deliveryman with a sunny smile.

But later, she slowly realized that he was fundamentally different from the model who always acted coquettishly and acted like a pig to eat the tiger.

"Although this seems to be too short, but anyway, thank you."

"It's okay, it's okay." She replied in an easy-going manner. "It's Christmas, let's not care about those small details!"

Lilo Tsurumi: "We're all at the bottom of society, let's not do those troublesome things and add to each other's troubles.

Instead of giving each other gifts, it's better to save the money to buy things you like! "

Hazen Mingcheng: "Yo, that's right. High five!"

Akira Tsurumi: "…"

The teenager said, "I'm done eating." He stood up and observed the girl's expression for a few seconds. After confirming that his action of "leaving first" did not violate the latter's concept of "being obedient, cute, and polite", he finally breathed a sigh of relief and left the restaurant.

The moment he stepped out of the area, the blonde man's nature was exposed.

"Still," he added, and it would have been a crime to say such a thing, with that smile of palm-trees and sunshine that would have given one the illusion of years of peace, "the thought must be conveyed.

How about a kiss? "

Forget about the eager expression, what's with the sparkling eyes? As mentioned above, Hazen Mingcheng said with some expectation, "Just a kiss.

a

I don't take advantage of girls. You can kiss her eyes or the corner of her mouth. "

When he said this kind of flirtatious words, it was as if he was asking the girl to drink more soy milk.

The girl heard this and was a bit confused. "Hey, hey, how can kissing her eyes or the corner of her mouth be called 'not taking advantage' … That's not the point. Is it really okay to say such things in front of me?"

Lilo Tsurumi shouted from the bottom of her heart, "I'm just an innocent minor!"

"Eh?"

Hazel Mingcheng blinked and said seriously, "It's because you're an innocent minor that I, as an adult, should bring you to understand another unknown world and guide you on the road to becoming an adult, shouldn't I?

… Hahaha, I'll stop teasing you. "

"I can't believe I can say such perverted words. I'm almost scared to death.

Although what I said just now was very suspicious of my attitude, I am indeed a good and upright citizen, so please don't take it to heart. "He smiled, pulled out the chair and stood up." Such a cute minor, I have to leave???

Haha, haha!
