Chapter 258 Winter and New Year

Kamisato Ayato's first New Year after taking over as head of the family was celebrated simply.

Apart from the two siblings and Thomas, there was no fourth person at the table.

As soon as Kamisato Ayaka sat down, she felt like something was missing. Then he had a flash of inspiration and said to Kamisato Ayato: "Brother, Huaiyue has not appeared for more than a month."

Kamisato Ayato said: "After all, it is too cold in winter, maybe Huaiyue is sleeping."

Ayaka lowered her eyes in disappointment: "It's such a pity. It would be great if I could spend the New Year with her."

In just one year, Huaiyue has become a very important existence to them.

Thomas was a little puzzled: "Since it's a pity, why not ask Miss Huaiyue to come with us?"

He was from Mondstadt, so he didn't care about so many etiquettes, and he didn't think there was any problem with it.

——Since she is sleeping on the chun tree outside, why not wake her up and celebrate the New Year together?

Isn't this a simple matter?

"But wouldn't this be inappropriate..."

Kamisato Ayaka hesitated, and Toma added: "This shouldn't be the case. Miss Huaiyue doesn't seem to care about this."

So the brother and sister looked at each other.

It’s not something that needs to be thought about for long.

Kamisato Ayato stood up and said, "Let's hang up this year's lanterns together. Today is the New Year, so it's appropriate."

Ayaka was surprised: "Brother, do you want to hang up the lamp too?"

"I just wanted to do this," he said. "In the past, I only thought that the stories my father told were embellished lies, but now that I have found out that they are true, I should do something."

There was one more thing he didn't say in his mind.

But there is no need to mention this trivial reason.

Thomas looked around and suddenly realized: "Am I the only one who didn't prepare a light?"

Kamisato Ayaka laughed: "It doesn't matter, this is not a tradition. Even if Toma doesn't hang up the lamp, Huaiyue won't care."

After a while, the lamp with the wish was held in the hands of the two brothers and sisters.

The brother and sister made wishes in a very simple way. They wrote their wishes on paper and then put the paper quietly into the lamp. It was so simple.

On the night when this community celebrated the New Year, fine snow fell on the chun trees and it was very cold.

The two of them came to the tree wearing traditional Inazuma costumes. Looking at the toon tree with all its leaves falling off, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

In the quiet snow, Kamisato Ayaka suddenly asked: "What wish did brother write?"

"Ayaka wants to know?" Kamisato Ayato looked sideways, with a gentle smile on his face, "How about taking a guess?"

Kamisato Ayaka thought for a while: "Is it a wish related to Kamisato's family?"

Ayato Kamisato shook his head: "Although I hope that the Kamisato family will prosper, this is something I will definitely achieve in the future, so the wish in the lamp... is naturally something else."

He said it so firmly that Kamisato Ayaka couldn't think of it for a while.

What Thomas thought was much simpler: "That means... I hope Miss Huaiyue can spend this New Year with us?"

Kamisato Ayato smiled and said nothing, but Ayaka was slightly surprised.

She was a little shy: "I actually wrote down such a wish."

After the brother and sister hung up the lights, they looked at the chun tree for a long time. At the end, Linghua called out softly: "Huaiyue?"

There was no movement in the toon tree.

So Kamisato Ayato comforted her: "Maybe she slept too deeply. When the flowers bloom in spring, maybe we can see her."

But as soon as he said these words, the chun tree in front of him was covered with fine snow.

A moment later, the person they had been expecting appeared.

Kamisato Ayaka was stunned, and the girl just looked at her, and suddenly she knew that her wish had been answered.

Joy suddenly appeared in her eyes: "Huaiyue!"

Linghua grabbed Huaiyue's hand unsteadily, the expectation on her face was so obvious.

Huaiyue said: "Don't I want to spend the New Year with you? Let's go."

Having said this, the immortal smiled slightly: "I have been in the Shenli family for many years, and you are the only one to invite me like this."

Because the previous generations of family heads seemed to take her status too high, they rarely disturbed her. Occasionally when she was awake, Huaiyue heard a certain head of the Shenli family say to the younger generation: "Don't Collided with the immortal. 】

She had nothing to do with her. In the first few years, she endured sleepiness and watched how the New Year in this foreign country was celebrated in the Chun tree, and how it was different from Liyue... After that, there was no one to chat with, and we saw each other every year. Huaiyue stopped looking at the same scenery.

It is even more difficult to contact Liyue's colleagues, and it is not very convenient to chat across the sea.

And Huaiyue still has a contract.

She can leave here after completing the contract. It doesn't matter if she hasn't completed it. After all, boredom or loneliness can be solved by sleeping.

If it weren't for the lively Kamisato Ayaka of this generation, she had longed for those stories when she was a child, and would have been used to writing her wishes in a lamp every year and hanging them on the branches of a tsubaki tree. Huaiyue didn't wake up in the winter, but every early spring, she would look at what Ayaka Kamisato had written with a strange novelty.

For her long life, that was a rare "difference".

Hearing this, Kami Ayato on the side couldn't help but be startled.

So...even an immortal will be lonely?

Maybe it was because the atmosphere of the New Year was relaxed. He had removed his usual burdens and even said something thoughtful. Before he could think about whether it was appropriate, he spoke out: "Every year from now on, as long as you are willing , everyone can come and celebrate the New Year with us.”

Huaiyue was stunned for a moment.

She looked at Ayato Kamisato in surprise.

Kamisato Ayato suddenly realized the reason for her surprise.

He coughed lightly, then turned to look at Thomas: "Go buy an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks."

Thomas said cheerfully: "Okay!"

Ayaka suddenly said that she was going to the room to get something, so only Huaiyue and Kamisato Ayato were left here.

Kamisato Ayato looked at his sister's retreating back and suddenly said: "Huaiyue dotes on Ayaka very much."

Huaiyue asked him back: "Kamiri, do you think I decided to appear after seeing Linghua's wish?"

The young head of the family narrowed his eyes and thought deeply, "Did I guess wrong?"

Her titles are all so clear, one is called by surname, and the other is called by first name.

She could tell which brother and sister were farther away and which was closer in her heart.

Kamisato Ayato remained silent.

He had almost guessed the answer Huaiyue would give next, which was nothing more than "Linghua is indeed closer to me." This is understandable, and Kamisato Ayato has known the reason for a long time, because Ayaka hangs lanterns on the top of the tree branches every year, either to express her wishes, or to express her concerns to the patron saint who does not know whether it exists on weekdays.

And he rarely stops in front of a ton tree.

He had previously disapproved of it, just like every head of the Kamisato family, his attitude towards the chun tree was so obvious.

"I also saw the words you hid in the lamp." At this moment, Huaiyue suddenly said, "That's why I showed up to tell you that two lamps are indeed warmer than one lamp."

——Two lamps are indeed warmer than one lamp.

Kamisato Ayato suddenly looked at her.

There was a bit of unbelievable surprise in my heart, and there were some waves that I couldn't express.

He was speechless for a moment, and the scene was silent.

After a while, Kamisato Ayato seemed to have recovered, and pursed her lips slightly.

"If I had known that my father's story was true..."

This was the first time that the elegant young master Duanfang felt regretful.

He didn't understand why he had such thoughts, but today, here, on this dark night, on this New Year's Day with fine snow, at this moment, he suddenly felt——

"I should hang up lanterns every year like my sister."

he said softly.
