Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 436 I Can Finally Pull It Out for a Walk (4000 words)
The way of celebrating the New Year at the Higashino family is actually similar to that of other families.

It's nothing more than cooking some New Year's dishes, putting your feet in the stove, and then exhaling contentedly.

Only this year is different.

As the exam was coming up, Higashino Chihaya couldn't get away to make New Year's dishes.

So Higashino Chihaya was replaced by Higashino Chihaya in making New Year's dishes.

But it was obvious that Higashinoji didn't know how to cook traditional Japanese New Year's dishes at all, so he thought about it, and simply brought over the set of Chinese New Year's dishes.

Higashino Chihaya was also obviously stunned when eating - when did Asi know how to cook Celestial Cuisine?

And it was delicious.

The two siblings don't care about Japanese traditions or not. After all, Higashino's parents are gone, so as long as the dishes are delicious, it's fine.

It is worth mentioning that this year the Higashino family is not just Higashino Division and Higashino Chihaya.

Konoe Suzuka also celebrated the New Year with Higashinoji and the others this year.

It seems that Konoe Lianghua had a good conversation with Konoe Tsushima, and the other party finally let go, willing to let his precious daughter stay at Higashino's house.

This surprised Higashinoji.You must know that Konoe has always been a slave to Marco.

This year, he is actually willing to let his daughter not go back to Aomori County?

Simply incredible.

But after that, Higashino Division soon received a call from his father-in-law, who asked him to take good care of Konoe Lianghua, and whispered a lot of things.

What the other party said made Dong Yesi a little funny, and he agreed again and again, which was barely enough to make Konoe Tsushima feel relieved.

After eating the New Year's soba noodles, Konoe Suzuka took the initiative to get up to clean the dishes, and then Higashinoji heard Konoe Suzuka's soft voice.

"Asi, you haven't visited the New Year's shrine at night, have you? Do you want to experience it with me?"

"Going to worship at New Year's Eve?"

In Japan, it is true that some people go to shrines to pay homage on the night of December 31st.

But Higashinoji didn't like going to the shrine that night.

Because there are too many people going to the shrine on this day.

There have even been incidents of tram jams and outages.

In addition, it is very cold at night in winter, and you can shrink in the heater and go out to pay homage. Isn't that a fool's behavior?

Are you freezing?
Although Higashinoji thought so, he didn't say it out loud.

This is the first time that Konoe Lianghua has made a request to him, and it seems that he still has something to say
Higashinoji can't really be such a disappointment, can he?

Thinking of this, Higashinoji also planned to get up and go with Konoe Lianghua.

So he turned his head and asked Higashino Chihaya: "Miss Chihaya, Lianghua and I are going out to worship, do you have anything for me to bring?"

"." Chihaya Higashino.

Higashino Chihaya thought, can't I go with you?
But she glanced at Konoe Lianghua who was blushing, and then at Higashinoji who was smiling, and understood what Higashinoji said——

Higashinosi didn't want him to disturb their world of two by following him, so he took the initiative to gag her.

What a ghost!

I really don't know where Higashino Division learned these words.

So she gave her younger brother a hard look: "You buy me some colored ropes, and I'll tie door bamboos. There's no colored ropes at home."

Higashino Chihaya's words were full of resentment, Konoe Lianghua didn't hear it, but Higashino Si did.

He smiled and replied: "I see, Caisheng, right? By the way, I will ask for good or bad luck for Miss Qianhao."

"Humph."

Higashino Chihaya lowered her head angrily, still feeling angry that her younger brother went to Hatsune to bring his girlfriend instead of himself.

She was sulking over there, while Higashinoji smiled cheerfully.

It wasn't the first time he saw Higashino Chihaya sulking.

Usually, you just need to buy her a favorite drink or a favorite book to coax her. It's the same as giving candy to children to make them happy.

Higashinoji first turned around and put a scarf on himself, then turned around and picked up Konoe Suzuka's coat and put it on for her.

When two people travel, it looks like newlyweds going out.

Seeing this, Higashino Chihaya sighed even more sourly - his younger brother has already become a master, and his sister will only become more and more lonely in the future, and there is a high probability that she will die alone in the end.

Didn't you see that your younger brother despises you now?
but
Higashino Chihaya glanced at her younger brother again, and sighed again.

Humph.

As expected of my younger brother, he looks pretty good.

Well, it's still pretty good.

Thinking of this, Higashino Chihaya's anger dissipated inexplicably, and handed over the two scarves she had woven in advance to Konoe Lianghua and Higashinoji, and then sent them away.

The night of December 31st seemed to be a lot brighter than usual.

The whole of Tokyo is filled with a festive atmosphere for the New Year. There are door bamboos tied around the door, and people's blessings for faith are hung on the ribbons.

The weather was very cold, and the ground was already frozen. Higashinoji and Konoe Lianghua walked on the road, and there was a creaking sound.

The solemn bells of the shrines and temples not far away, and the twinkling lights gave Konoe Liangka the illusion that time seemed to have paused.

The light of the night, shining brilliantly colored lights.

It's a great vibe.

It's so good that even if there are some couples hugging each other and telling their hearts, it's not a problem.

I don't know what is the relationship between myself and Asi in the eyes of others?
Not aware of this is not bad.

But as soon as she realized this, Konoe Lianghua's face turned redder, and she didn't know if it was from the cold or for other reasons.

soon.

Konoe Lianghua stopped at his feet.

Higashinoji also stopped in her footsteps.

"Ash, I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

Higashino tilted his head and asked.

"That's... the one I said before"

When the words came to her lips, Konoe Lianghua hesitated again.

But this time she made it very clear: "It is after "Spirited Away" won the first place in Japan, I will let you. That"

"Oh, you mean about marriage."

Dong Yesi suddenly realized.

He also said why Konoe Lianghua was struggling.

It turned out to be tangled about marriage.

Could it be that Konoe Lianghua has no confidence in herself?

Indeed, Japan's number one is a bit difficult to get.

But Higashino is full of confidence in "Spirited Away", and feels that it is no problem to win the first place.

Thinking of this, Higashino also smiled, wanting to express his determination to Konoe Lianghua: "Liuhua, you don't really need to care about it, I am number one in Japan."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

I saw Konoe Lianghua sticking to her with a blushing face.

The toes of the brown boots also stood on tiptoe.

She whispered in Dong Yesi's ear: "No, A Si, I mean, even if I don't get the first place, I don't care."

Uh.
Higashino was stunned for a while.

The meaning of Konoe Lianghua's words is very simple, that is to say, even if Higashinoji doesn't get the first place, it doesn't matter if he gets married.

But it wasn't that that stunned him.

But Higashinoji didn't expect that Konoe Lianghua could speak so straightforwardly.

You must know that it is in the impression of Higashino Division.

Konoe Lianghua is the kind of girl who is very gentle, doesn't speak loudly, and even if she is angry, she just keeps her anger in her heart.

It is really rare to express oneself directly like this, and even courtship.

If Fujiwara Aoi, Takahashi Yumi and the others were by the side, they would probably rub their eyes, wondering if Higashinoji gave Konoe Liangka some kind of ecstasy - otherwise Konoe Liangka would not have said such a thing words.

But Higashinoji was stunned for a while, then smiled and reached out to touch Konoe Lianghua's head, half-jokingly said:
"Does Lianghua think I can't get the first place? Is it because she doesn't have confidence in me?"

His face suddenly collapsed.

This made Konoe Lianghua couldn't help blinking.

She hurriedly explained with her face flushed: "No, Asi, I have great confidence in you, but that and that..."

Halfway through her words, she felt Higashino Division reach out and touch her little head, and then she raised her head in surprise.

"Actually, you don't have to pay too much attention to Lianghua."

Higashino replied, "I'm glad you have this idea, but there will be no problem with Spirited Away. I believe it will indeed reach the No. [-] position in Japan."

""Spirited Away" will definitely win the first place in Japan."

In fact, you can't say the word "certainly" in everything.

But Higashino Division just used the word 'must' this time.

Because these words were not only spoken to Lianghua, but more to himself.

My girlfriend is so accommodating to me, if I still can't get the grades, wouldn't it be too ugly?
"Is that right.?"

Konoe Lianghua raised her head and glanced at Higashinoji, as if she wanted to say something, but soon she lowered her head again, as if trying to understand something, she nodded vigorously.

"Yes! I believe in Asi!"

In the winter night, Konoe Lianghua's voice was soft, and his eyes were raised, as if he was encouraging himself.

Yes
Believe in Tonoji.
But there is always an indescribable throbbing feeling in my heart.

Konoe Suzuka wanted to say something.

But the love words in my mind seemed to be blocked. I couldn't speak them at all.

She is not like other girls who can always say 'I love you' and 'You love me' with a smile.
But if you don't say it at this time.
I feel like I'm spoiling the atmosphere now.

So Konoe Lianghua continued to dig deep in her mind, trying to find a word that was enough to describe her current mood, yet subtle and beautiful.

then
Higashinoji saw Konoe Lianghua suddenly raised his head, and kissed him lightly on the cheek, and then his porcelain-like face was painted with 'rouge'.

"Asi, the moonlight is so beautiful."

The moonlight is so beautiful.
After listening to these extremely familiar words, Higashino looked at Konoe Lianghua who still couldn't stop blushing.

There are some inexplicable sighs in my heart.

The moonlight is so beautiful was originally used to describe the hazy and shy feeling of teenagers and girls in adolescence love. It is really good to use here.

Because it is subtle and beautiful.
But Brother Natsume Soseki.

Can't you think of a more subtle and beautiful sentence?

My girlfriend just said this sentence. I still can't stop the fever on my face,

Higashino Division secretly complained about Natsume Soseki in his previous life, and then stretched out his hand.

When Konoe Lianghua saw her, she naturally held Higashinoji's hand.

There is no sense of incongruity.

This scene seemed very natural.

Higashinoji wanted to hold her hand, so he reached out.

Konoe Suzuka complied with Higashinoji's intention, so she also extended her hand
There is a tacit understanding between the two.

It seems to communicate without words at all.

Let's go.

to pay homage.

In fact, after arriving at the shrine, Higashinoji knew that Konoe Lianghua had already visited years ago.

He also asked him to have a smooth career.

She gave it to Higashino Division, expressing the hope that "Spirited Away" can develop smoothly and directly win the first place in Japan.

And looking at her face flushed from drinking the sweet wine from the shrine, Higashinoji had the urge to 'cool flowers, don't rush to sleep tonight'.

Because it was the first time he discovered that Konoe Lianghua was so beautiful - before, he had always treated Konoeko with the attitude of an adult to a child.

But after talking to her today.
Only then did Higashino find out.

In the past three years, he is not the only one who has changed.

Similarly, Konoe Lianghua has also undergone many changes.

Although she is still very shy and blushes at every turn.

But compared to the feeling of being completely speechless before, now she feels that she can communicate with people and her affinity has also increased.

Dong Yesi thought about it, and felt that this was normal.

After all, it has been three years since I met Konoe Lianghua.

And people want to stay the same. It's still very difficult.

After paying homage, Higashinoji took Konoe Liangka to drink a few cups of sweet wine to warm up his body, then got on the tram and returned home with her.

During this period, Higashino Division also forgot the colored rope that Higashino Chihaya explained.

It made Higashino Chihaya full of sadness, thinking that the younger brother really forgot his sister when he had a girlfriend.

This caused Dong Yesi to cough twice and said that he would not do this next time.

And after getting the guarantee from Higashino, Chihaya Higashino didn't continue to trouble him, but just pouted, continued to tie the door bamboo in dissatisfaction, and at the same time listened to the ringing of the bell from the distant temple.

The heavy bell struck one hundred and eight.

One hundred and eight strokes means that the old year is coming to an end and the new year is coming.

The Higashino family did not have the custom of giving lucky money to anyone or there used to be, but it is gone now.

And in order to make up for not buying Higashino Chihaya colored rope, Higashinoji also accompanied her to take the time to defeat the original owner's parents once.

This move has no other meaning, it is just to reassure Chihaya Higashino, so that she can focus more on her current study.

Although Dong Yesi didn't believe this, he went to worship the original owner's parents.

Higashino Chihaya's spirit has obviously improved a lot, which is considered to have achieved his goal.

After returning home, Higashino Chihaya also specially made a few sets of Qingxue test papers. The correct rate of the exam was gratifying, and there should be no big problem in getting into Qingxue.

That is, in such a busy New Year's process
"Spirited Away", which many people have been waiting for, is finally released in theaters.

This cheered up Higashinoji.

It's finally here today.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, I can finally pull it out and take a look.
