Untitled Conan II

Time, the next day I started to prepare.

After I sent out the last gift, I stretched and yawned. I was so tired that I lay on the bed and didn't want to move anymore.

Unfortunately, today is December 12th, and I have to go home to spend Christmas Eve with my brother.

So, he slowly got up from the bed again, packed his things briefly, called the office next door to report, and only after he hung up the phone, the downstairs doorbell rang.

He ran downstairs with plush slippers, and when he came to the door, the doorbell had stopped.

Confused, I ran to the side window and opened the curtains to look out. There was nothing outside except for the cold wind swirling a few fallen leaves.

Did I hear it wrong?

Blinking, I stood at the entrance, after thinking about it, I walked over and opened the door.

boom--

Suddenly, a pile of colorful paper flowers burst out in front of my eyes, and they fell on me one after another.

Standing stupidly at the door, I was stunned.

"Little idiot, are you frightened out of your wits? Are you trying to catch a cold by sticking to the wind?" The boy at the door laughed and came up to rub my hair, then pressed his shoulders and turned, and pushed me into the room.

"Brother?" Being pushed into the house, I glanced back at him, "Don't you have the key? Why do you still have to ring the doorbell?"

"Hee hee, don't you understand?" He shook his index finger with a smug face, "This is called a surprise, a surprise!"

"Obviously there's only shock, okay..." I muttered in a low voice.

"Huh? Xiaoyou, what did you just say?" Someone squinted his eyes and smiled brightly, but softened his voice, stretched his ears and came close to me, "Brother didn't hear clearly, Xiaoyou said , you are very happy to see your brother come to pick you up in person, aren't you?"

My body froze, I jumped two steps to the side and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, hurry up and change your clothes!" Sitting carelessly on the sofa, he pointed towards the direction of the stairs, "The butler is waiting at home, he has been busy all day for today's dinner gone."

"Well, okay!" With a grin, I stomped on my slippers and ran upstairs again.

Put on a thick sweater and a knee-length woolen coat, put on a scarf, let down your hair, put on a hat, and finally put on big woolen gloves, and stand in front of the mirror, ignoring the pair of furry rabbits on your feet There is really an indescribable feeling about the slippers.

This seems to be the first time I wear so much, right?

After giggling for a while, he found a pair of fleece boots from the cabinet next door.Then he ran downstairs again.

When I got downstairs, I saw a certain young man lying on the sofa lying on the sofa, playing with Xiaotian with a "childlike" face.

Xu Shi heard my footsteps, and two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, looked over at the same time, all shining with the light of KIRAKIRA.

"Aww~" the little fox let out a soft cry, jumped on the sofa and jumped over.

"Xiaoyou~" The boy rushed from the sofa to me.

Reaching out to catch Xiaotian, I tilted my head to look at him and blinked.

"Tsk tsk," he walked around me while touching his chin, sighing as he walked, "my sister is getting more and more beautiful~"

Laughing a few times, I took his hand and walked towards the entrance, "Grandpa Terai should be waiting, let's go back soon!"

When I came to the steps of the entrance, I put down the boots I was holding and let Xiaotian go to the floor first. I was about to bend down to put on my shoes when I was stopped.

I looked at him suspiciously, and saw him pat my head with a smile. He quickly put on his shoes, then walked up to me and squatted down.

"Brother...Brother..." Seeing him pick up a shoe, and then motioned for me to lift my foot, I opened my eyes wide and stared at him blankly.

"What's the matter, silly girl?" He smiled silly, but those eyes were the same as when I first saw them, brighter than the stars in the night sky, "Are you so moved that you are about to cry?"

When I came back to my senses, I sniffed, blinked my pantothenic eyes, stretched out my hand to support his shoulder and slowly raised my foot.

He clumsily but carefully pinched my ankle to put on the shoes for me and then buckled the buckles. Although he still had the cynical and joking smile on his face, I could feel the incomparable seriousness.

The corner of the mouth could not help but bend.

Put on your shoes, put your backpack on your back, pick up Xiaotian, and obediently hold the hand extended by your brother.I was led by him and set foot on the way home, back to our home.

It was cold and windy outside the house, and as soon as I went out, I couldn't help shivering.

Seeing this, the hand that was holding me loosened, he pulled me closer to him, wrapped his body around me and turned sideways to block the wind for me.

I hid most of my face behind a thick scarf, hugged Xiaotian tightly with one hand, and tightly pulled my brother's clothes with the other. I hid behind him and walked quickly.

At dusk in winter, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and most of them are office workers rushing home in the cold wind.

It wasn't until passing by the commercial street that the street gradually gained popularity.

Joyful songs are played in the shops on both sides, and the smiling face of Santa Claus and various bells and stars are sprayed on the window glass.In front of the store, there is also a colorfully decorated Christmas tree.

"Wow...so beautiful!" I murmured with my eyes wide open looking at the shops on both sides, almost forgetting the cold.

"Silly girl," the boy walking half a step in front of me turned around, looked at me and smiled, stretched out his hand to straighten my scarf to cover my face again, and then said, "What's so interesting about this?" Yes, there is a big Christmas tree at home, waiting for you to hang ribbons and stars!"

"Really?!" Hearing this, my eyes lit up.

"Of course, let's go!" He smiled.

"Ah."

I remember when I was very young, every Christmas, my father would take me and my brother to tropical countries to escape the cold. Even so, on Christmas Eve, he would still buy a big Christmas tree, lift me up and let me hang it on the top of the tree with my own hands. on that star.

Immersed in childhood memories for a while, a man in a long trench coat and hat with his head bowed and walking fast walked towards him.

When I passed by, I couldn't dodge and was hit by a collision. Fortunately, the force was not strong, and my brother kept holding me halfway, so it didn't affect me.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The man wearing a scarf with a muffled voice apologized to me repeatedly.

"It's okay." Waving my hand, I smiled, paused, and added, "Merry Christmas!"

He seemed to be taken aback for a moment before replying, "Merry Christmas."

After watching him go away, I turned around and saw my brother frowning looking at the direction the man left.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing." He came back to look at me, and asked with concern, "Did it hurt just now?"

Shaking my head, I unconsciously looked back again.

I don't know why, but I always feel, there is a... very strange feeling, but I can't tell the specifics.

"Okay, let's go faster." He smiled and urged.

"Hmm...brother!" I stopped, tugged at his sleeve, and looked up at him.

"what happened?"

"Xiao You can't walk anymore," I muttered, bending my eyes and showing a crescent-like smile, "Can you carry me on your brother's back?"

"You girl—" He smiled helplessly and shook his head, but he still squatted down with his back to me.

He jumped up happily, wrapped his arms around his neck and lay on his back, the end of his nose smelled the familiar and reassuring summer night smell.

Xiaotian obediently jumped onto my shoulder and shrank into my scarf.

My brother carried me on his back and went home slowly.

----split line----

Black Feather’s house is brightly lit, a two-person-high tree stands next to the fireplace in the hall, and cardboard boxes beside it are filled with ribbons, lanterns and various brightly colored decorations.

On the big wooden table, there was already a table of hot and fragrant dishes. Grandpa Terai stood aside with the plate and looked at us cheerfully.

Familiar smells, familiar lights, and familiar people, this is my home, my real home.

On Christmas Eve, I'm home, Dad, Mom, did you see it?

……

dang dang...

The wall clock struck midnight, and I just hung the last star on the top of the Christmas tree. The lights that lit up in an instant and the fireworks that my brother deliberately blew, filled the air with a warm smell.

Xiaotian was also put on a little Christmas hat by me, and was watching us fooling around with a pair of small black eyes.

"Brother," tugging at him, I took out something with a smile, "Merry Christmas!"

"Ah la? Is it a gift?" He took it and held it in his hands and looked up and down, as if he was looking at something rare, "This is the first gift Xiaoyou gave to brother!"

Duduzui, I glared at the guy who laughed jokingly and complacently, and spread my hands, "Where's my gift?"

He looked at me, smiled and said nothing, just pointed upstairs.

In my room?

I looked up with the probe, but I couldn't see anything. I was eager to rush upstairs to have a look, when the mobile phone in my pocket suddenly rang.

Leng Leng, I reached for the phone.

"what?"

In the pocket of my coat, besides the mobile phone that was playing music, I also felt a small hard square thing.

I don't remember putting anything else in my pocket?

I took out the small box-like thing and saw that it was a small gift box about the size of a palm, and it was delicately packaged. When I shook it, there was no sound.

Is this a gift from whom?

The ringing of the phone was still going on. After thinking about it, I stuffed the gift back into my pocket and took out the phone to look at it.

With the corners of my mouth raised, I press to answer.

"Hello, Shinichi?"
