"Hey, SHIN, it's getting late."

"Huh? Can't you?"

"Eh... What can I do?"

"eat……"

Before he finished speaking, his mouth was blocked by biscuits, so SHIN could only open his eyes and stare blankly at the other party, chewed the unfinished words together with the biscuits viciously, and then swallowed them.

"Ah Nong...the taste of the biscuits baked this time...is it okay...?" Zhi Zhi continued to fix his eyes on the clock on the wall with a slightly embarrassed expression.

It's already ten o'clock.

But someone is still sitting on the tatami as if he is going to stay here tonight... reading a book very seriously.

I want to say that it is more efficient to go back to review, and it will be cold if you go back too late, and if you are asked to be more conscious by the candidates, when you see the quiet look of the boy, it gets stuck in your throat and you can't get it out.

Just leave him alone.Zhi Zhi silently accepted the fact that the two of them would spend tonight, so she planned to prepare an extra quilt.

And SHIN sat on the side with his chin propped up, watching with great interest the girl tilted her body, holding the big quilt with both hands, and almost rolled on the bed together with the quilt when she walked to the edge of the bed.

puff--

He secretly smiled, and immediately looked away the moment she turned around, and saw that the clock on the wall pointed to 10:[-].

"Ah, it's already late today, let's go here."

"Eh?...Eh——?"

Zhizhi lowered his head as if defeated, and said to himself, he didn't intend to stay here...

"Ah... what...? Do you want me to stay?" SHIN looked at her closer, and seeing her embarrassed expression, he put on a proud look and sighed, "Well, it turns out that Zhizhi is so dishonest... "

"No, I didn't mean that...it's obviously you..."

"Hey, won't you take me out?"

Simply interrupt her words without giving a chance to explain. SHIN stood at the entrance and straightened his scarf, showing a smile in his beautiful eyes.

So Zhi hurriedly put on her coat, and the moment she opened the door, the cold wind rushed in. She shrank her neck and said that winter came very early.

Thinking of SHIN's cold not long ago, she reminded again, "SHIN should pay attention to his body recently."

"Baga~ I'm not a child." SHIN grabbed Zhi's hand and put it in his pocket. The white mist spit out from his mouth was very clear in the early winter night.

At least in the eyes of the girls, SHIN's profile is softened by the white mist.

However, the arrival of winter also means that the exam is approaching.

Although Mr. Zhi was a little worried about SHIN's review status and whether Lai's reading at her home would affect his studies, the person concerned seemed to be so confident that she had no room to refuse.

"Okay, let's go here."

At the fork in the road, SHIN stopped, and after holding Zhi's hand tightly, he stretched out his five fingers and clamped them between her five fingers.

"What... what is this?" Zhi Zhi looked at SHIN staring at his hand with such a concentrated expression, it was a little strange.

SHIN once again firmly emphasized, "Before Christmas, don't get fat."

"Eh...Christmas?"

Zhi was taken aback, thinking that Christmas will be in three weeks, so... SHIN wants to treat her to a big meal (Zhimeizi is not a foodie--)

She smiled and said that there is no need for expensive gifts, as long as the two of them are together, this kind of empathy is probably the reason why they are still students.

But SHIN's earnestness is also very stubborn, "I've made a decision, and I absolutely don't want to change." After speaking, he smacked on her lips, sealing her right to persuade.

SHIN... is really domineering sometimes.

Zhizhi returned home with such thoughts in mind, and found a small piece of paper sandwiched between the biscuits on the table. After reading the words on the paper, he burned from the base of his ears to his neck.

—Wait until Christmas Eve to start, don't get fat.

As the breath of winter gets stronger, Christmas decorations are gradually increasing in sight. I don’t know if it’s because of someone who noticed those Christmas trees, bells, and red lights more this year than in previous years... the colorful decorations In the window, on the side of the street, even on the door of... the sheep of the earth.

The sound of jingling bells sounded, and Zhi opened the door to see everyone busy in the cafe, and the dark green Christmas tree began to be filled with gifts, so a certain fact reminded her again that Christmas was coming soon.

"Senior~~" MINE hugged the colorful ribbon, seeing the flushed face, and asked jokingly, "Hey~~ Senior, did you have a fever? Was it infected by SHIN?"

"Where...how can there be." Zhi slipped into the dressing room to change clothes, and inadvertently saw himself in the mirror, with a red face that made people annoyed.

What a cunning...SHIN!

"Did SHIN make Zhi angry?" SAWA, who also came in to change clothes, seemed to hear Zhi's resentment, and asked with concern.

"No, no!" Zhi quickly waved his hands, with a smile on his face, as if he was covering up something.

I always feel that Zhizhi has become more lively recently...? A thought popped into SAWA's mind, well, he had such vitality before he lost his memory.

Then she handed a list to Zhi Zhi, "Hey, the Christmas-themed activities require a lot of materials. The store manager said that everyone needs to share some. These are the parts you are responsible for."

"HAYI~" Weaving took over the list, there are indeed a lot of materials that need to be purchased. Thinking of this, since the last purchase was with SHIN, this time...

"Let SHIN go with you, there are too many things, I promised to help MINE, so..." SAWA explained.

"No, I can't." Zhi originally planned to ask SHIN for help, but since that night, SHIN said that these days will become very busy, if he can't pick up Zhi to go to work in time, I hope he can understand that he is a candidate.

"Wow, SHIN really wants to concentrate on studying?" MINE put down the plate, raised her chin and said, "It's not like SHIN's style to not be able to meet seniors because I'm too busy with studies."

"Focus on your studies. If he does this, I will be much more relaxed." Zhi finished speaking intentionally or unintentionally, and immediately attracted the attention of two friends and colleagues. Finally, the teasing among the girls turned into laughter.

"I said, how long are you going to make trouble like this? Young girls?" The store manager of WAKA put on a frightening expression. When he saw TOMA who was late today, he didn't forget to reprimand him, "The meaning of winter is not to make you sleep under the quilt. Sleeping late, you are a young boy!"

"HOLAHOLA, as a confession, I will work harder." TOMA rushed into the kitchen with a hearty smile. After learning that Ori's procurement tasks were too heavy, he was obliged to act as Weaving's purchasing partner.

So the Christmas preparations for the underworld have officially begun!

The eve of Christmas—Christmas Eve, before the church bell rings midnight, is the busiest time for Sheep of the Underworld.

"Okay, I got it. Table 5 needs a gingerbread house." After SAWA quickly wrote it down, he was quickly complained by KENT on the side. It was wrong, it was a gingerbread cake.

"HAYIHAYI..." After nodding and apologizing, SAWA quickly rushed to table No. 5, and was overwhelmed by the voice of the neighboring table before he started reporting the names of the dishes.

"Ikki-san~~~"

"Beautiful ladies, this is a Christmas cake I personally designed for you." The screams moved from one table to another, and with the movement of IKKI's position, he could not see him rubbing his temples under such sound waves.

When SAWA was about to rub his temple into a hole, he was almost knocked down by MINE who was running towards him.

"Where is the snow puff? Did SAWA see it?"

"Eh...it seems to be in the cubicle?"

"3Q~"

MINE was scurrying around in a red Christmas skirt, and the big red bow on her braid jumped happily with the girl's steps. When she passed by the Christmas tree, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Huh~~~? Senior's candy cane hasn't been put away yet?"

"Ah...yes...this one is a bit...tall." Zhi, who was also wearing a Christmas short skirt, couldn't reach the Christmas tree on her tiptoes. Come here, take the candy cane from her hand, and hang it on the treetop.

"Eh... TOMA?"

Zhi raised his head and saw the golden hair hanging down his eyes, tenderness appeared in those clear pupils.

"Hey, this kind of thing should be left to me?" TOMA patted Ori's head, expressing a sense of accomplishment of "taking care of my sister" like a big brother.

"cut……"

With a cold snort, you don't even need to think about who's greeting. What doesn't match the handsome appearance is a dark face. SHIN is leaning against the door, staring at the pair of 'brothers and sisters' intently.

"HOLA, what is someone dissatisfied with?" TOMA deliberately pointed to the well-placed candy cane, showing his masterpiece.

SHIN glanced at it lightly, then turned his gaze down again, turned his head aside, and said, "The skirt is too short."

"Eh... eh!?"

She blushed and lowered her head to tug on the skirt, Zhizhi explained that it was the store manager’s design (Uncle WAKA’s taste ==+)

Without saying much, SHIN directly grabbed Zhi's hand, walked into the kitchen, picked her up, and put her on the desk.

"Can't you get off work early today?" There seemed to be some expectation in the sparkling eyes, SHIN propped up his arms and looked up at her until the girl's blush reached her neck, and a gleam of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Go back early...?" Zhi tugged at her skirt, and if she was prepared, she didn't seem to be prepared. When her brain was burning like her face and was about to vaporize, she suddenly remembered that there was a party tonight.

"Hey, it turns out you think being with them is more important than me?"

SHIN's displeasure was expected, but his slightly pursed lips gave her the message of acting like a baby.

So I tried to make a suggestion that spending Christmas Eve with everyone would be a good memory. The twinkle in her eyes made SHIN change from a refusal to a compromise. In the end, he could only fall on her shoulders, feeling sullen. Say nothing.

"I lost to you."

"MerryChristmas~"

The crisp sound of wine glasses colliding, along with the long tail of midnight bells, ushered in Christmas together.In the misty mist on the glass window, the shadows of the people inside the house were vaguely reflected.

...Waka is serious, KENT is quiet, IKKI is elegant, TOMA is gentle, MINE is scurrying, SAWA is laughing...only frowning is...SHIN.

Ori supported his chin and turned his head, seeing SHIN impatiently showing himself hard work and patience, he suddenly felt that it would be nice if time stayed at this moment.

It's so nice to be with all of you every Christmas.

"Hey, if you're thinking about staying with this group of people next Christmas, I advise you to stop thinking about it." SHIN was drinking melon soda, and gave someone an angry look.

"Promise...it won't happen anymore." Zhi Zhi clasped his hands in apologetic reply, his brows and eyes curved, and a gentle smile broke into his eyes, transforming into a warm shape.

He suddenly thought of something, reached out and fumbled in his pocket, and when he was about to take out something, Zhi heard SAWA say that the red wine was almost finished.

The red wine was purchased by Zhi and TOMA, so Zhi knew where the wine was kept. She got up and said to get the wine, without noticing the impatience on someone's face.

"Eh...not here?"

Zhi Zhi couldn't find the bottle of red wine in the kitchen storage room, guessing that someone might have taken it to the wine cellar, when she walked into the wine cellar, she suddenly heard a series of footsteps, for a moment, she habitually thought it was SHIN.

After calling out SHIN's name, the other party didn't agree. The slender figure reflected by the beam of white light through the wooden door, the facial features on the face were also gradually cleared by the light.

This time, she accurately called out his name - "TOMA."

"It's not SHIN, and don't let me see you with a disappointed face." TOMA leaned into the low cellar, patted his head apologetically, "Ah, I remembered, I put it in the wine cellar yesterday , I was worried that you couldn’t find it, so I came over to have a look.”

Zhi Zhi hugged the bottle of red wine and said that he had found it. When he was about to tell TOMA that there was a wine bottle at his feet, it seemed that it was too late.

A thump echoed in the wine cellar to the corridor outside, followed by hurried footsteps and a familiar voice breaking in.

"A real man?"

That...red wine is safe...

Zhizhi thought so, but the bloody scene at the moment seemed very unreasonable.

Staring dryly at the magnified face of TOMA in front of her eyes, she couldn't imagine the expression on SHIN's face now.

After TOMA got up from Zhizhi in embarrassment, besides apologizing, he didn't know how to describe the scene just now.

Although the soft girl is easy to overthrow, it is just an accident in the eyes of the parties involved, but the bystanders do not know when they saw the accident.If we only look at the final freeze-frame moment, then it will be troublesome to explain.

Unfortunately, SHIN only saw the end—TOMA held Ori down.

"If you want to steal food, shouldn't you choose a more romantic place?" The ends of the hair covered the beautiful boy's face, and he couldn't see his expression. "However, choosing this kind of place is also in line with your bad taste, TOMA."

"I said... SHIN, no matter who you are, your poisonous tongue is not forgiving..." TOMA crossed his arms and said seriously, "Even if it is an explanation, you may not be able to listen, so believe in yourself at this time. Girlfriend, shouldn't it be the first reaction?"

"First reaction?" SHIN raised his head slowly, his quiet eyes filled with the dead silence that Zhi had never seen before.

It was so lonely that there was only darkness left, and nothing could be seen.

"SHIN..." Zhi opened his mouth with difficulty, but couldn't say a word.

Her mind was in chaos, she wanted to calm down but couldn't, she couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be for SHIN to go berserk, she didn't remember it, and even if she did, she forgot it.

SHIN didn't look at her, but stared at TOMA, and said coldly, "TOMA, your words are reminding me. Now I'll tell you what my first reaction was!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward and kicked TOMA fiercely, and at the moment the opponent staggered, he punched straight from his chin, which seemed to be unable to relieve SHIN's hatred, and finally pressed TOMA into the barrel and beat him wildly.

The speed was too fast for anyone to react, TOMA spat out the blood in his mouth, and instantly mistakenly thought that SHIN was a bad boy in the past, when did fighting become so good! ?

"Don't! Don't do this! SHIN... you misunderstood... no, it's not what you... thought... SHIN, stop!"

Zhiji was so panicked that she couldn't speak coherently, she only wanted to stop SHIN, and in desperation, she threw the red wine in her hand...

When a loud bang exploded, everything fell into silence, only the sound of dripping water dripping, and the smell of untimely wine began to overflow in the air.

It should have been the fragrance of laughter and celebration.

"It tastes good... Weaving." SHIN stretched out his index finger to dip some of the fermented rice in the fragments, and licked it with the tip of his tongue, his bright red lips became more enchanting.

And his dead eyes were filled with thick fog, "Do you want to try it?"

"Yes, sorry..."

Apart from crying, there is nothing better to release the tension, guilt, terror... and despair in Zhi Zhi's heart.

The wine bottle almost hit SHIN, even though it hit the barrel, but everything was broken, she broke the bottle and broke his heart.

"Hearing your apology, why do I seem to be more sad than death?" SHIN walked towards Zhi with no expression, and forced her to the wall step by step, looking at her with lonely eyes, "These days when I'm not by your side, you Are you all with him?"

"This...it is true that TOMA helped me purchase materials together...but...just now...TOMA wanted to help me find..." Zhi hurriedly wanted to explain clearly, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like the act of stealing a man and murdering her husband up.

"MD! Don't mention his name again!"

With a bang, a gust of air brushed the hair, and the fist landed on Zhi's face impartially.

Her hair fell down, and she slumped on the ground with limp legs...

She didn't know how long she had been crying, and she couldn't remember whether it was SAWA or MINE who handed her the handkerchief, whether it was KENT or IKKI who picked her up... Was the store manager WAKA very angry and messed up the wine cellar, and... TOMA, Did he get punched in the face...?

Many fragments flashed in her mind, and then came back backwards.

No matter how flash back, I can't forget those eyes.

Just one glance is suffocating pain.Can I forget?So amnesia again...?

Forget it, it won't be so painful.

Zhizhi curled up on the bed, tears wet a large area of ​​the pillow, and she realized that love makes people sweet, bitter, and... occasionally wants to lose memory.

SHIN, can you forget me who threw the wine bottle at you?

sorry.
