blue blue

Followed the flow of worshipers into the area of ​​the shrine at the foot of the mountain, Lan lay in Kawasaki's arms, leaned her head on Kawasaki's shoulder, and looked at the bustling crowd around her, unexpectedly, there was no more feel sick.

"What's wrong? Still uncomfortable?"

Lan shook his head, the breath that was close to his ear made him feel a little itchy, and he couldn't help laughing for a while.Hearing laughter here, after confirming that the boy is indeed not feeling well, he followed the crowd to move on.

The New Year seems to be an extremely important festival for human beings.As early as the first ten days of December, the Asahinas began to prepare, from cleaning the house to delivering the New Year's certificate, including some food that symbolizes happiness and health in the coming year.It seems that Asahina and the others have achieved a high degree of unity in preparing for these things, they will not have their own opinions as usual, and they are all earnestly completing their tasks.While Lan was quite surprised, he also helped out together, and gradually had some fun. Although he was still quite ignorant about these things, he still felt the lively atmosphere.

And on New Year's Eve, Lantou ate buckwheat noodles for the first time. Although the taste was not to his liking, but fortunately, eating this was just to win the prize, and he just tried it a little.

In addition to these, what surprised him during the New Year was probably the lucky money Asahina and the others gave him.In fact, apart from Ai, Ema, Yusuke, and Ya also received it, and even Subaru and Kiori, who were studying in university, also received their first New Year's money as adults.

"Although you are already adults, I still hope that you will be more successful as a brother. Just take it as a good fortune, and hope that your goals will be achieved in the coming year."

"Thank you, Brother Yachen."

Lan didn't know why at first, but seeing that they were all happy to put them away, he followed suit and put them into the bubble fish packet specially prepared for him since he started going out with his brothers.I don't want to put the small bag in such a way that it bulges up in an instant. Fortunately, the buckle is designed so that it will not fail to close the mouth of the bag. This shows that the brothers are not stingy at all.

Zao told Lan thoughtfully that he could use the money freely, "For example, to buy clothes or snacks."

"Hmm..." Lan pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed: "But, I don't have anything I want to buy." Not to mention that Lan himself has no desire for these material things, but the brothers have nothing to do with his basic necessities. There is no need for him to think about the purchase and care of items needed in daily life.

Thinking of this, You Jing pondered for a moment, and suggested: "Otherwise, let me help Lan open an account in the bank. When Lan thinks of using it, he can directly swipe the card, which will be safer."

Hearing this, everyone glanced at the deformed small bag, and Lan, who looked confused and completely unaware that he was carrying a huge sum of money, hurriedly nodded in agreement.At the beginning, the brothers only thought about using the lucky money to give Lan Xin more wishes for the new year, and added some inexplicable comparisons, but they didn't think too much about it, but now they think about it impulsively.

"Next time, let's just buy, buy, buy." Guang looked at Lan, who was frantically sorting out the New Year's money with the help of You Jing, raised his eyebrows, and then concluded with a smile to the brothers who were quite concerned.

After watching Fengdou's program and listening to the bell, everyone packed up and went out to the nearest shrine to pray for blessings.Although this shrine is not very famous, there are still many nearby residents who come to visit it. It seems that this shrine, which is not very big, is getting more and more crowded.

The brothers were worried that such an environment would make Lan feel uncomfortable, but fortunately, after being hugged in his arms, Lan's condition improved.

Ryukyu followed beside and straightened the loose scarf for Lan who was looking around curiously, and even pinched the other's cool cheek.I saw that the boy was troubled by his actions, and he looked over curiously, his eyes full of questions.Lucy didn't feel embarrassed to be caught for his petty tricks, he just responded with a smile, and sure enough, the innocent boy smiled back when he saw this, and then turned to look elsewhere.

"Brother Liusheng actually knows how to 'bully' Lan Jiang." Liusheng's actions did not escape Chun, who looked over from time to time. It was rare to see another side of his brother, so he couldn't help but tease him.

It's a pity that Liu Sheng was not touched at all, and kept a normal smile all the time, saying: "I just did what I wanted to do. Is Tsubaki jealous?" Rather generously admitted.Liu Sheng was not angry, instead he waved his hand and said, "Then you come and pinch, Lan Jiang's cheeks are super soft."

"Yes, yes." Chun swallowed without a trace, and was about to stretch out Lushan's claws, but was amputated halfway by another pair of hands.

"I said, Chun, you are about the same." Zao, who watched the whole process, couldn't bear it anymore. If it wasn't because it was the first day, it was really inappropriate to fight, he would have punched this unreliable triplet brother in the face. To make him ashamed to appear in front of Lan and make trouble during this period of time. "Brother Liusheng is the same, stop messing around with Tsubaki."

"Hey, it's obviously Brother Liu Sheng who started it first!"

"Quiet."

There was too much movement here, and it instantly attracted the attention of the people around him. When he noticed the sudden stiff movement of the boy in his arms, he hurriedly patted the other person's back and softly comforted him.While coaxing Lan, he frowned and reminded his brothers that they had already walked outside the main hall of the shrine unknowingly. As soon as they stepped on the approach, the bustling crowd gradually quieted down, and their noisy just now became more prominent.

If he had stayed in a temple before, although it was not the temple where he worked before, he was familiar with it, and he was not unfamiliar with the rules of worship.He took Lan to the worship hall first, put him down, and hugged Lan from behind.The airtight embrace made Lan feel at ease, so he let him take this posture and led him hand in hand to perform the process of "two salutes, two clapping hands, and one salute".

The pendulum that the two of them rang together was extremely crisp and melodious. If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of people waiting to pay homage behind him, he might not be able to resist shaking it twice more.He listened to what he wanted to teach, put his palms together and closed his eyes, but there was nothing tangible in his mind that could be called a 'wish'.For Lan, the current life has satisfied him enough. He is not the kind of person who can look forward to the future, nor will he miss the past. He only knows how to grasp the present and live every day seriously. This is the way Lan lives. So he himself doesn't need to pray for anything.

But he can ask the gods to do something else, right?Thinking of this, Lan opened his eyes, looked around at the brothers who did not know when they also came to worship, then turned his head to look at the worship hall, and closed his eyes again, but this time he brought unprecedented piety :

My God, if possible, I hope you can make everyone's wishes come true, thank you.

He didn't know whether Lan's wish had come true. Due to various reasons, the brothers didn't say their wishes, but when Lan didn't pay attention, everyone looked at the boy in the same way. The intense gaze that contains love and cherishment already represents a lot.

After paying homage, I got the lottery again. When Asahina walked out of the main hall, it was almost 3 o'clock.It wasn't too early for them to go out, because of the relationship with the old age, Lan and Mi, who always go to bed early, tried their best not to fall asleep on the way, but they were exhausted after a lap.

"Is Blue okay?"

"Hmm." Lan rubbed her sore eyes, nodded to the worried brothers, and said with a smile, "I promised to buy a guard for Fengdou, so there's no problem."

Guang rubbed Lan's head, then lowered his head and gently pressed a kiss on Lan's eyelids, "Don't force it too much."

"En." Lan responded softly with a nasal tone, and Guang couldn't help but kiss again, and he let go of the boy's embrace when he recovered a little bit of energy, and led him out of the worship hall.

Because there are always a lot of people, in order to seize the time so that everyone can rest earlier, Asahina and the others plan to separate into two teams, one team will write ema, and the other team will buy omori.

"Ema?"

"It's almost the same as visiting a shrine. Write down your wishes and hang them in the shrine." Wen Yanlan said that she would just go and buy an omamori.

"Brother, don't you have any New Year's wishes?" Mirai Shrine is most looking forward to writing ema. Seeing that Lan doesn't seem to be very interested, he said: "Writing ema is very interesting. It's not just a wish, but also a wish. Write down what you usually want to say but dare not say, maybe the gods will help you convey it."

Lan thought about it, but in the end he didn't go.After all, I had already troubled God when I visited the shrine just now, and I really don't have anything to convey. If I have something to say, just tell the other party, wouldn't it be good?Lan, who has always been straightforward, can't understand this, but suddenly feels a kind of emotion called sympathy for the god who wants to help everything.I really didn't expect that the gods exist so hard...

So Lan, who chose to buy the omori directly, came in front of the witch, but was dazzled by the omamori representing various prayers in front of him in the next second. He didn't know that there were many different types of omamori. At that time, I didn't ask Fengdou which one he wanted, but now he doesn't know what to do.

"May I ask which kind of guard do you want?"

Hearing the question, Lan looked at Yusuke and Kiori, who were also selecting the omamori, looking aside for help, hoping that they could give some advice.

"For that guy Fengdou, just buy an omamori that represents his career." Yusuke waved his hand indifferently, obviously not wanting Lan to be hurt by it.

Although Qizhi agreed with Yusuke's statement, he didn't want to disappoint Lan, so he said again: "If Lan can't take care of it, you can buy one of each, and let Fengdou choose by himself."

Lan thought about it and thought it made sense, but before she could speak, she heard a familiar retort, "Hey~ I don't want to pray so casually~" Following the words, she changed into a Fengdou style Walking over, he smiled provocatively at the two who were not surprised, then hugged Lan, and said in a low voice, "Don't Lan want my next year to go smoothly for being so perfunctory?"

"No." Lan, who was surprised by Fengdou's sudden appearance, was interrupted by the real and fake grievances of the other party, and then turned to deny in repeated voices.

Fengdou gave up as soon as he got better, but hugged Lan tightly as if he was suffering from skin hunger and didn't say anything.Lan himself had no sense of shame, and Fengdou would not feel bored by being so clingy to him, and he also blocked a lot of probing sightlines, which made Lan feel quite at ease.Seeing that Yusuke was blushing, he said worriedly, "Is Yusuke not feeling well?"

"No, no..." The surrounding sightlines were too obvious, Yusuke was a little timid when he wanted to pull Fengdou away, worried that the noise would scare Lan, so he could only secretly glared at Fengdou, hoping to let the other party know restraint through his eyes Some.

It's a pity that Fengdou didn't receive it at all, or didn't want to receive it at all.He even got closer to Lan, clasped the other's hand with his ten fingers, and picked out the guard together.Looking at it this way, it looks like a loving young couple, and the surrounding eyes can't help becoming more and more intense, and Yusuke even heard the excited chatter of many girls whispering.

ah ah!Fengdou this guy! !Yusuke was furious but had no choice but to stare at Fengdou who was making progress.Fortunately, soon, the brothers who went to write ema also came.Seeing this, Feng Dou let go of his hand obediently, and only picked up an imperial guard from between the two's overlapping fingers, and bought it.

"This was specially chosen by Lan for me~" Fengdou shook the guard in his hand at his brothers, and then smiled at Lan, "I will definitely keep it with me at all times, so that I can be lucky all the time." year~"

"Is this so powerful!?" Lan blinked, turned around and hurriedly selected a few more, distributed them to other brothers, and then put on a rare serious look, explaining: "Be sure to take it with you!" oh!"

The brothers were still enjoying Fengdou's show off, but they didn't expect Lan Zhuantou to give them such a big surprise.They each held a guard representing their studies, career, health and safety, not only their palms, but even their hearts were burning hot.The Asahinas nodded solemnly, and carefully put it into their own pockets, only to keep it with other things after returning home.

Seeing this, Fengdou wanted to bite his own tongue, he shouldn't have said the last word.Obviously, he still underestimated the status of his brothers in Lan Xin. Originally, it was only his own welfare, so why did he give it to everyone!Very angry, but had to keep smiling.Even in Tsubaki's teasing thanks, he smiled and showed generosity.

"Ah, that's right." Putting away the Omori preciously, Azusa took out a small polygonal wooden board from the coat pocket instead.I saw that one side of the board was blank, and the other side was painted with a picture of a sunrise on the sea, which was very beautiful.

"This is an Ema." Azusa explained with a smile: "Although Lan hasn't thought of anything to write yet, I still want to bring one to you. When I think of it later, I can write it down and hang it up."

Wen Yanlan nodded and took the Ema. After studying it over and over for a while, he simply put it in the small bag and thanked Azusa.

The New Year's visit is now over. On the way back, looking at the night illuminated by lights not far away, Lan, who was about to be hugged in his arms, breathed out, and his eyes gradually dimmed.Feeling the weight of his head against his shoulder, he wanted to stop his steps, but suddenly slowed down his steps, lest he would wake up the other party.

The car didn't stop far away, and Asahina and the others walked faster, but they were always careful to protect the boy so that he wouldn't be disturbed.Putting Lan and Mi, who was also asleep, carefully in the back seat, Yachen took out the blankets prepared in advance and covered the two of them.Just as he straightened up, a white afterimage suddenly floated in front of his eyes, and Yachen raised his head subconsciously for a moment.

"This is..." Like Yachen, the brothers standing around the car couldn't help but look along the direction of the falling pure white.

In the gray sky, white snowflakes rustled down, and the coolness that fell on the skin felt like being touched by a boy's fingertips, which made people's heart itch slightly.Occasionally, a few pieces fell into the compartment with the door not closed along with the breeze, and then left marks on the boy's outstretched palm.

After seeing this scene, Yachen couldn't help holding up the boy's palm, lowered his head and kissed the water stains that were colder than the other's hand, and when he raised his head again, his lips were inevitably wet.Yachen unconcernedly rolled it into his mouth with the tip of his tongue, then turned to face the other brothers who were looking here, and said with a smile: "It's very sweet, the taste of blue."
