The next day, Little Flying Bird slept until he woke up naturally. He struggled to get up and stretched out on the bed. It had been a long time since he had experienced such a hearty morning. The sunshine outside the window was warm and the sky was clear and clear.

Everything that happened last night was like a dream.

Asuka looked to the left, where Shixiao was lying on her side, curled up like a cat. At this time, the sunlight falling into the room hit the side of her face, making her look even more beautiful and almost unreal.

Xiao Feiniao was a little absent-minded, and she touched her lips lightly with her fingers. Last night, under the cover of night, she impulsively kissed the other person twice, but she still took the initiative...

I really want to die...

This is the truest feeling in her heart.

Si Xiao, who was on the bed, rubbed his eyes and let out an unexplained sob. His eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes. Little Asuka looked away in panic.

"Birds."

"What?" She deliberately didn't look over there.

"I forgot to mention it again last night."

"sorry?"

"No." Shuxiao smiled slyly and jumped on the little bird, "It's a happy new year."

"What are you doing? Let go, let go."

"Don't. Don't let go."

The moment of embarrassment made Xiao Feiniao struggle hard, but Wu Geng was unwilling to let go. During the fight, most of the quilt fell to the ground.

The mother suddenly opened the door and saw the two hugging each other. She snickered and slowly closed the door. Then it opened a little gap.

"I'm sorry if I disturb you. I just wanted to say that breakfast is ready."

"Mom, knock before entering!"

"I know. I did it on purpose."

However, the response from behind the door made Xiao Feiniao gnash his teeth in anger.

——

At the same moment, in Nishino's bedroom.

The phone buzzed and vibrated several times, awakening Nishino from his light sleep. He opened his eyes, his eyelids were still slightly red, and hurriedly turned over to fumble for the phone, only to find it under the pillow.

It's a message from Gao Shan.

Xizhi was secretly disappointed.

Clicking on the unread messages, the first one was from last night, asking her if she got home safely. A second message was sent more than half an hour later.

Asleep?

Then there is the news just now.

Xiaoxiao...hasn't she contacted you yet?

Nishino was silent for a moment.

Last night, she cried happily in her mother's arms. After breaking up with Wu Geng, she never shed tears again, whether it was failure at work or unhappiness in life. It turns out that people are really

You can become stronger in a short moment.

No, she thought. If she was really strong enough, she wouldn't have lost her composure last night.

Nishino sniffed and pressed the message on the screen with his finger.

Mom came to Tokyo last night, don't worry. Send.

She got out of bed with bare feet and opened the curtains. The sunlight outside the window rushed into the dark room, seeming to illuminate Nishino's gloomy heart.

The fact that her mother and brother came all the way from Osaka made her feel somewhat redeemed.

Even if the fifth watch is not here, there will always be someone by your side.

After walking out of the room, Nishino's mother had already prepared breakfast. She smiled when she saw her daughter standing at the door with her hair disheveled and looking a little embarrassed.

"I'm going to wash up." Nishino felt a little embarrassed.

"Sit down and have something to eat first," the mother grabbed her daughter, "I don't think I have any work in the past two days, so I don't need to take care of things so delicately."

So Nishino sat at the dining table obediently. Frankly speaking, she didn't eat much at the group gathering last night. One reason was that she had no appetite, and the other reason was that the hunting area of ​​Ikuta on the opposite table was wide, within one meter in radius.

Even the grilled meat cannot escape her chopsticks.

"Where's my brother?" Nishino looked around but didn't find Tai Sheng.

"I asked him to go back first." Nishino's mother placed the last miso soup in front of her daughter.

"Going back? Why?" Nishino was surprised.

"This is not a place that can accommodate three people, and you can't leave your father at home alone. If he doesn't have anyone to cook at home, he will only eat instant ramen and the like.

"

The fact is that there are some things that are really inappropriate to say to Taisheng. The older brother always dotes on his younger sister. If he really knew something about the situation, there is no chance that something would happen. So Nishino’s mother just found a reason to send him away.

It's open. I just saw that he had a grudge when he left in the morning, so I'm afraid he might not feel at ease.

"At least I'll leave in the afternoon. We only met once yesterday and didn't even talk to each other."

Nishino's mother glanced at her daughter with a half-smile. Nishino suddenly felt a little lucky when he thought about his crying last night. If his brother were still here, he would definitely ask about his life in Tokyo and the reason for his crying.

She silently picked up the miso soup and took a sip. It was neither salty nor bland, just right.

"I will stay here for two days." Nishino's mother sat down opposite.

"..."

Nishino didn't speak. She knew that her mother was worried about her, but she didn't expect that the other party already knew something about her.

"Nana."

"Huh?" Nishino raised his head.

"You can tell me what happened."

Nishino's nose felt sour inexplicably, and he quickly lowered his head, stared at the side dishes on the plate, and gave a dull "hmm".

——

Outside the shrine, Gao Shan stared at the message sent by Nishino.

——Xiao Xiao...hasn't she contacted you yet?

——Mom came to Tokyo last night, don’t worry.

A complete answer to the question.

However, it can be considered an answer, isn't it?

The cold wind in the early morning fell into her collar. She shrank her neck and exhaled a mouthful of white mist. She looked back at the long queue outside the shrine. Parents and their children were anxiously waiting for their first visit to the shrine in the new year. Many couples accompanied each other.

, the girl wore a kimono, stepped on clogs, and had her hair tied up.

"Xiao Shi."

Not far away, Ikoma ran over in a hurry, carrying a paper bag from the convenience store in his hand.

"Here, it's your portion." He was stuffed with a Chinese steamed bun without any explanation.

"Bean paste filling." Ikoma explained, and couldn't wait to take a big bite.

Takayama held the Chinese steamed buns, and the slightly hot temperature was transmitted to her hands through the wrapping paper. She put her mobile phone in the bag, changed her hand, and opened the package: "Ikoma-chan, you ran away in a hurry just now to buy it."

this?"

"Yeah, it's so early in the morning, it's not good if you don't eat."

However, they had just eaten barbecue five or six hours ago, and Gao Shan didn't have much appetite at the moment. But Ikoma's hard work couldn't be wasted.

"The queue is so long, it feels like I have to wait for a long time..."

They had been waiting for nearly an hour and had only moved forward a dozen meters.

"There is no way," Gao Shan said while chewing the light dough and fillings. "On the first day of the New Year, there are many people in the morning. It will be much better after five o'clock in the afternoon."

"It's too late then. You should go as soon as possible to visit shrines during the New Year. If there wasn't a party after the Red and White Festival, I would have come directly and queued up early in the morning."

"The first three days are considered my first achievements." Takayama said. Ikoma can only be so active in such small things. At the same time, he thought so in his heart.

If he hadn't been waiting for Nishino's reply and suffered a sleepless night, he wouldn't have easily accepted Ikoma's invitation and gotten up before dawn to go out.

"The same goes for Xiaoxiao," Ikoma complained. "The messages on the phone show as unread, the phone calls can't be reached, and there's no one at home. The same goes for Xiao Feiniao. How old are you, and both of them are missing?"

"..." Gao Shan chewed the steamed buns in his mouth and didn't reply.

"How are you doing there?"

"ah?"

"Didn't you contact Na-chan just now? Will she come out?" Ikoma asked expectantly.

ah……

"No way..." Takayama's eyes fell on the buttons of Ikoma's coat, "Na-chan's mother has come to Tokyo. I'm afraid she has to accompany her, so she won't have time in the past few days."

Ikoma sighed exaggeratedly, "The four of us really can't make it together."

Gao Shan opened his mouth, thinking that last night, outside the party box, he had such a precious opportunity to be alone, but he was not able to express his feelings, so he sighed slightly and nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the mobile phone in the bag vibrated.

It was a message from Nishino. It was only two short words.

"Thanks."

However, Gao Shan had no mood swings. She put away her phone and followed the team a few steps forward with Ikoma.
Chapter completed!
