Wujiang thought, Skylark probably liked his gift.

Although Yunque didn't say anything, Wujiang could tell that the vest he was wearing these days was made by himself.

Fortunately, what she gave was a vest that was the same as the school uniform. If she had given a scarf, maybe Hibari wouldn't be wearing it like this.

Wujiang knows better than anyone how stubborn Hibari Kyoya is.

At least she had never seen the man wearing a scarf once.

Not long after Christmas comes New Years.

According to Japanese customs, their New Year's Eve is December 12, rather than New Year's Eve as in China.

Speaking of it, it's not much different. For Wujiang, it's the same to celebrate the New Year.

Maybe when I was a child, I was excited about the Chinese New Year—because I had lucky money—but when I grew up, it was just like that.Especially when I was in the third year of junior high school and high school, I didn't dare to relax for a moment.

And in the past five years, she didn't have holidays because of whether it was New Year's Day or not. She still had to work when it was time to work, and she couldn't miss a day of any tasks ordered by her superiors.

Shinagawa Chie also told her that the Marukawa Bookstore she belongs to has a New Year's banquet, so Wujiang doesn't have to rush to Tokyo anymore.

Speaking of which, although Chie Shinagawa is a newcomer to Marukawa Shoten, she has become an instant hit, and has become one of the hottest manga artists currently with the manga that is still being serialized.

So her editor in charge told her to go to this banquet.

Therefore, Wujiang rushed to Tokyo once a few days after Christmas, which was regarded as a one-year reunion with his mother in advance.

It's just that since then, she may only be able to spend New Year's Eve with Skylark and Meizi.

In fact, Wu Jiang still wanted a lively New Year's Eve, just like she remembered.

Even though she herself has no enthusiasm for the New Year, sitting around a big round table with her family and having a lively New Year’s Eve dinner and chatting with each other are her best memories of the New Year now.

It's a pity that she probably won't be able to live such a year this year.

Aside from her relatives in Japan, only her mother is not mentioned—and she also has something to do on New Year's Eve, and her grandfather Wujiang in the Celestial Dynasty has never met, so it can't be said how close she is.

As for Skylark...

Could he possibly go to the flock?

So Wujiang dismissed the idea of ​​letting Cao Bi come to spend New Year's Eve together - at least on such a good New Year's Eve, let him temporarily escape from the clutches of Skylark.

Although he himself doesn't think it's hard work to stay by Skylark's side.

Wujiang has been preparing New Year's dishes since the afternoon, including Japanese and Chinese dishes.

After all, most of the New Year’s dishes in Japan are raw and cold. Skylark likes to eat, so it’s impossible for her not to prepare all of them, but her stomach has always been bad. If she really prepares all these, I’m afraid she will spend the first day of the first month in the hospital. .

While Wujiang was preparing dinner, the plum, which had smelled the aroma long ago, was always carried by her feet, rubbing her cheek against Wujiang's trousers from time to time, and occasionally blinking her topaz-like eyes.

"What a greedy cat." Wujiang shook her head amusedly, how could she not know what Meizi was thinking?After getting along for so many months, Meizi's gluttonous nature has long been clearly felt by her.

Just looking at such a plum, she couldn't help but want to tease it.

The doorbell rang suddenly, and Wu Jiang put down the kitchen knife in his hand, washed the handle and ran to open the door.

She really didn't know who else would come to her at this time.

"Is it Miss Shinagawa Kirie?"

The person standing at the door was wearing a courier's costume, looking at the package in the other's hand, Wujiang immediately understood what was going on.

After all, similar things have happened several times in the past few months, once a month on average, so it's hard for her not to know.

If this goes on like this, she will probably become acquainted with the couriers who deliver goods to this area.

"Is it my package?" She asked, and got a positive answer from the other party.

"Yes, it's from China."

Picking up the seal with "Shinagawa" from the shoe cabinet, Wue took the package into the house after signing and stamping it.

Except for the things that were sent the first time that were related to that man, the things that were sent in the next few times seemed to be sent by her grandfather.

In fact, when Christmas was approaching, she also chose some things to send to China. Although she had never met her grandfather, judging from the things he sent every time and the frequency of sending things, he should also care about it. Her granddaughter's.

Then, as a granddaughter, she should naturally care about her grandfather.

Putting the box on the coffee table, when Wujiang was unpacking, Meizi also ran towards her with a small dried fish in her mouth.

"It succeeded so quickly..."

Wujiang glanced at Meizi, seeing the expression on it when it was holding a small dried fish in its mouth, and the corners of its mouth could not help but curl up.

She put this small dried fish there on purpose, in order to prevent Meizi from attacking the other dishes - to tease it by the way.

He quickly opened the sealed package. In addition to two cans of tea leaves, there was also a cheongsam embroidered with green patterns on a white background with a high collar and middle sleeves.Wujiang picked it up and compared it, and found that the length of the whole cheongsam was about to her ankle.

In addition to the cheongsam, there are also a pair of matching shoes and a white fur vest in the package.

No matter how you look at it, the things in this package are all from big hands.

It's not that Wujiang doesn't like it, but he just thinks that it doesn't match him except for the color.

And she is very curious about where her grandfather got the size. No matter how ignorant she is, she knows that custom-made cheongsam must be measured.

However, Wujiang's confusion was soon revealed.

Like the first time, there was also a note in the package this time, with a Chinese sentence written in scrawled handwriting:

"I'm waiting for your awakening."

The short sentence made Wujiang almost limp in fright. She was lost in thought as she looked at the note, and the man's voice began to echo in her mind.

After the man brought her back to the family, he once called her to his office, handed the ring to her, and said something like this.

He said that she was chosen by him to wear the ring, but to ignite the ring requires enlightenment, and he will only keep those who are enlightened.

The last sentence is "I am waiting for your awakening".

What once belonged to him, and what he once said to her, Wujiang began to doubt for the first time whether his decision to escape from everything was really feasible.

That man will really allow himself to escape.

Putting all the clothes and shoes back into the box, Wujiang took out the two tins of tea leaves alone.

Thinking that Yunque will come over for dinner later, Wujiang hurriedly returned to her room with the box in her hands, and then put the box of clothes and shoes into the deep part of the closet—anyway, she will definitely use it right now. Can't.

Back in the kitchen to prepare dinner, Wujiang's initial good mood was gone. All she thought about was the relationship between that man and her grandfather's family, as well as her own future.

She really wanted nothing to do with the Mafia if she could.

Just is it really possible?

If the cheongsam that was sent before was brought to Wujiang in confusion, then what Skylark brought to her during dinner was frightened.

In fact, when Skylark came, it was the same as usual, except that he was still wearing the woolen vest that Wujiang knitted for him.Wujiang pretended not to know when he saw it, and talking too much would only make someone more arrogant.

Just halfway through dinner, the doorbell rang for the second time today.

Wujiang glanced at Yunque, who would never open the door, then put down his chopsticks and ran to open the door.

This time it was no longer the courier standing at the door, but the poor vice chairman Kusakabe.Just like the courier I saw this morning, he also held a package in his hand.

"Mr. Cao Bi, this is... let's talk about it first," Wu Jiang turned sideways to let someone outside the house enter, but the other party refused.

"No," Cao Bi knew without thinking that someone was having dinner at Wujiang's house right now, so he didn't dare to go in and be a light bulb.

Passing the box in his hand to Wujiang, Cao Bi explained, "This thing is for you."

Wujiang blinked, looking very much like a confused Meizi, "Who... gave it to me?"

Although she thought it might be Skylark, but he is at his house at this moment, if he gave it to her, why didn't he bring it along with him before?But there is no one who can send Kusakabe except Hibari.

Cao Bi didn't answer directly, but just said "You will know when you open it" and left a goodbye, then turned and left like this, leaving a confused Wujiang back to the room with the box in his hand.

"Caobi came just now," before Yunque asked anything, Wujiang had already opened his mouth to explain.

It wasn't that she was too self-aware that the other party would ask, but she really didn't understand who Cao Bi was delivering the things for, so she said this in the hope that Skylark could reveal something.

It's a pity that Skylark just said "Oh" and didn't say anything else.

Wujiang felt that there was a ghost in it, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to eat. For a while, in addition to the sound of dishes and chopsticks, there was only the sound of red and white songs fighting on the TV.

After dinner, Wujiang was not as anxious to clean up the dishes as usual, maybe the Red and White Song Club was on the rise.

Yunque was the same as before, just sitting on the sofa in the living room of Wujiang's house, looking like an idler rather than Bing Shengzhong, the chairman of the discipline committee who had to look at everything.

As for Meizi, she sat coiled at the lark's feet but didn't fall asleep, her slender tail flicked in the air. If it wasn't winter, Wujiang would think that Meizi was chasing flies.

Wu Jiang, who didn't feel that the current scene was like a sweet and warm family, suddenly caught a glimpse of the box she put aside before, and then remembered that there was such a thing, so she immediately got up and took the box to the coffee table , and then sat beside Lark and began to unwrap the presents.

Wujiang who opened the box suddenly didn't know what to say. In fact, there was nothing else in the box, just a black kimono and other related accessories.

But after Wujiang took a closer look, she found that the patterns on the kimono and handbag were her favorite hydrangeas, and the purple and indigo flowers were intertwined, which was very beautiful.

There are not many people who know that she likes hydrangeas, just a few.

Is it a coincidence or...

I received two sets of clothes in one day, and both of them were exquisitely made, and I knew they were worth a lot at first glance, but this didn't make Wu Jiang feel that he had won the jackpot. After all, the cheongsam before was related to someone. And this kimono...

Wujiang secretly looked at Yunque who was sitting next to him, and found that the other person was not watching TV, but was looking at him.

The four eyes met, so Wujiang quickly lowered his head and looked at the kimono in his hand.

She didn't understand why she was avoiding Hibari's gaze, but she just felt that if her gaze was facing him... her brain might stop functioning.

"Is this... is it from you?"

Wujiang held the kimono and asked in a low voice.

Yunque didn't answer immediately, but just looked at Wujiang with his head hanging down, and then...

"Ah."

Wujiang's face was almost buried in the kimono, she didn't know why Hibari gave her kimono so well, it reminded her that someone once told her the meaning of a man giving a woman clothes.

It's just Lark...it shouldn't be possible, right?

After all, that man also gave her a cheongsam, didn't he?

"...w-why?"

Wujiang asked in a murmur, but she didn't know why Skylark gave her this kimono.

She should have thought a long time ago that Lark was the only one who could send Cao Bi to run errands.

"Return," Yunque still answered concisely, but Wujiang didn't ignore the smile in his words, although it wasn't very strong, it was still captured by her.

When Yunque said this, Wujiang immediately understood what the other party meant. This was a return gift for the Christmas gift that Skylark gave her.

(He probably likes that vest very much.)

"Thank you, Senior Skylark."

The good tutor made Wujiang raise her head to look at the other party when she thanked her, but she couldn't help but lowered her head again because of the eye contact again.

(Obviously it wasn't like this before.)

She felt powerless in her heart for her subconscious actions.

"When you go to the shrine tomorrow, you can wear this." Yunque didn't say anything else, but just threw this sentence to Wujiang.

"……it is good."

Wu Jiang, who was holding a big black sleeve, nodded heavily, as if promising something.

When Wue went to Minesori Shrine the next day, she did wear the Furisode that Hibari gave her.

In fact, as far as Wujiang herself is concerned, she doesn't like black very much, especially after being reborn, she hates black very much because of someone's relationship.In addition to black, there is also purple.

Because that person wears the clothes of these two colors the most.

Black suit and purple shirt.

And black bathrobes.

It's just that the dress that Skylark gave her yesterday made her feel that the two colors didn't seem so annoying.

When drawing lots at the shrine, Wue also met Sawada's mother and son. Nana's mother seemed to be lucky, but unfortunately, the future ten generations were a little bit worse. A tear of sympathy.

However, after seeing that the big murder was on his signature, Wu Jiang suddenly felt that the murder was actually not bad.

"By the way, what is Kirie's New Year's wish?" Glancing at Wujiang's lottery, the future Judaime asked.

"I hope the plums will give birth to a nest of small plums."

Wujiang smiled slightly.

"Maybe it's because Meizi is still too young."

"Eh, so..."

Sawada, who was fooled by Kirie, nodded, as if acknowledging what Kirie said.

In fact, Sawada Tsunayoshi's wish is not difficult to guess, it is nothing more than not to become the Judaime of Vongola, but if his wish is impossible to come true, then she...

Is it delusional to want to break away from the mafia?

It seems that this year is not destined to be peaceful.
