[Death Doujin] Ink dyed white smoke

"Big sister, grandma said that you will go back to your hometown far away to celebrate the New Year, so let me say happy new year to you first!" Grandma Jiuji's grandson, Chun Mingmai, blinked at her in an innocent and clear voice. Moran Xianyi said.

Moran Xianyi originally planned to leave after the New Year's Eve in this world, but she didn't expect to have to start her vacation three days in advance because of the team handover problem.

The nobles in the soul world attach great importance to the traditional rituals of the New Year, so it is rare for her to take a full week of vacation and prepare to go home to listen to the elders' training.

Taking out a small and exquisite Yu Nian jade bag from the inner pocket of the jacket, Moran Xianyi smiled and handed it to the boy: "Although it is indeed early, big sister still wishes Xiaomai a happy new year."

Kujiya's cakes are well-known in this area, and it is even more busy during the New Year.There were customers coming and going in the store, and calls for reservations were made one after another. It was really difficult to rely on Grandma Jiuji and the only female clerk in the store.Therefore, Mai's father asked the company for leave in advance, and brought him back to help Granny Jiuji.

Although Mai Mai is only a child in kindergarten, she already understands the truth very well.

When Moran Xianyi first saw him a week ago, this small figure was wearing a small apron with the pattern of Jiujiwu printed on it, and was politely helping her mother-in-law to receive guests in the store.

All kinds of pastries in Jiujiya, whether it is taste, appearance, or production concept, the little boy can speak clearly.

Looking at such a family, Moran Xianyi deeply felt that this is the so-called inheritance from generation to generation.

Suddenly, I really want to have a child of my own!She thought to herself, feeling a little hopeful in her heart.

"Do you want to stay for a few more days, little Death God?" After dinner, when the son-in-law took his grandson upstairs to take a bath and rest, Granny Jiuji took a box of delicate pastries from the shelf, chatting with Moran Xianyi who was about to leave A few words.

Mo Ran Xianyi shook his head: "I can't make it through the holidays, so I can only obediently go back and report to my boss."

"When I was young, I thought the Grim Reaper was a monster, but it was only after I got in touch with it that I realized that it was no different from us." Despite her age, Grandma Jiuji still packs the pastry box very neatly, and it didn't take long for a textured pastry The gift box was placed on the counter.

"Yes! The same birth, old age, sickness and death also have the so-called company system." Moran Xianyi laughed softly, "I'm just a small employee in it who can't help himself!"

"Oh! You have become like a real person in just a few months." She often speaks the language of the human world. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that this was actually a god of death living in a different world.Grandma Jiu Ji shook her head, walked to the back door with Mo Ran Xianyi, and handed the gift box to her.

"Mother-in-law, you are too polite." Mo Ran Xianyi narrowed his eyes with a smile, and accepted the other party's heart obediently.

"Didn't you say that you have a grandfather who is particularly picky about pastries? This is the pastry we are proud of in our shop. Take it home and give him a taste." Grandma Jiuji waved her hand casually standing at the back door, "Although I can't see it, but After all, you have lived for hundreds of years, so even if the old woman wants to give you New Year's Eve money, it's not suitable for you, so don't worry about it. I still need your help more or less next year!"

The Hell Butterfly who came to pick him up was already wandering by the door, and if he didn't move, he would be scolded by the person in charge of the World Transit Gate.Moran Xianyi said a few more words to Granny Jiuji at the end, and then left Jiuji House in an instant.

The cakes in my hands will inevitably be tossed up and down by the inspectors, hoping that their appearance will not be damaged too badly before my grandfather opens them.Moran Xianyi smiled secretly.

A few months ago, she almost escaped and came to this world, but now she has not left, but she has already begun to miss her.

Before finally stepping into the world-transmitting gate, Moran Xianyi tidied up her now-short hair again, and pinned on a budding snow grass hairpin with great interest.

In the blink of an eye, it is a new year, and she is still waiting for the flowers to bloom.

***

Although they had heard the rumors to some extent, after Moran Xianyi actually stood in front of them, some gods of death who had made friends with her were still gorgeously shocked.

She was still dignified and elegant, with a gentle temperament and a pleasant smile, but this pretty short hair just gave her a youthful vitality that was rarely seen in the past.

A little more charming, a little less gloomy.

After Mo Ranxianyi came out from the world-crossing gate, the first stop was Yugantang, the office of Shishiro Ukitake.

"Vice Captain Zhibo, no matter how touched you are when we meet, you don't have to react so violently!" Mo Ran Xianyi walked into the captain's room, and as soon as he stood still, he heard Zhibo Haiyan choking on tea and coughing.

Rubbing her nose in pain, Zhibo Haiyan stared hard at Moran Xianyi, unable to speak.

Ukitake Shishirō is worthy of being a captain-level character, he was surprised for a while before recovering, stood up and patted Moran Xianyi on the shoulder: "Xianyi, welcome back."

"Thank you, Captain." Moran Xianyi saluted solemnly, then turned to Shiba Haiyan aside, and jokingly said, "How long are you going to stare at your subordinates, Vice Captain Shiba? Those eyes are like It's about to fall out."

After coughing vigorously for a few more times, Zhibo Haiyan stretched out her hand and rumpled Moran Xianyi's hair vigorously, and laughed loudly: "Oh, you have become so eloquent after only a few months away, little sister Xianyi, I see You'd better hurry home and make up for the etiquette of nobles, or you'll forget it all!"

Mo Ranxian frowned, and responded slowly: "The subordinates never dared to forget those things for a moment, but they often forget that you are the vice-captain of our thirteenth squad!"

Hearing this, Zhibo Haiyan smiled even more heartily.

After removing his palm from the top of Moran Xianyi's head, he sat back in the chair and asked in doubt: "Little sister Xianyi, why are you willing to cut off your beautiful long hair? Isn't it very precious in the past?"

Zhiba Haiyan knows that she has her own beautician, and she regularly goes to Moran Zhai to help her tidy her hair.For nobles, nothing is more important than the appearance of a family.

Moran Xianyi quickly straightened the messy hair, then looked at the two of them and said, "Is this strange? The subordinates think it's quite good, the head is much lighter, and it doesn't take too much time to comb it. "

"It's not surprising," Fuzhu smiled softly. "It's just that there is a gap between the past and we need time to get used to it. What's more, it takes courage to make any changes. As long as you feel it is necessary, don't wrong yourself."

"Yeah, yeah! You know I don't mean anything else, just curious." Zhibo Haiyan felt that she needed to clarify, "Although it's a bit late for me to say it now, you are welcome back, little sister Xianyi."

Then he gave her a hug.

After formally reporting to Shishirou Ukitake that he would be on leave from now on, Moran Kanyi temporarily removed his status as a subordinate and chatted with the two of them relaxedly.

"Captain, do you still like the birthday present?" Moran Xianyi was very satisfied after taking a sip of the hot tea made by Fuzhu himself.Thinking of the congratulatory gifts that the team members had been invited to send over at the beginning of the month, I don't know if the other party is satisfied.

When he was still in Seireitei in the past, Moran Xianyi would send him the flowers and plants he planted, and occasionally he would work hard to make ikebana works and send them over.Of course not this year.

"Huh? I don't even know when Captain Ukitake received the gift?" Zhiba Haiyan yelled, "Captain, we agreed not to hide anything from each other."

Fuzhu just smiled when he heard the words: "Haiyan, I just kept it from you for your own sake."

Zhibo Haiyan looked puzzled, why did she have something to do with him again?

As for Moran Xianyi, she was taken aback when she heard it. She didn't remember that the gift had anything to do with Zhibo Haiyan.

It wasn't until Ukitake took out a large exquisite brocade box from the cabinet, and then gently took out a set of elegant lake green feather woven coat from the brocade box, that Zhiba Haiyan realized that she was severely shown off by her team leader one time.

This is his revenge for showing off in front of Fuzhu after he received Xia Fengfeng!

"Although the family runs a clothing business, this is the first time I have participated in the sewing process. In addition, because the bamboo patterns on the side are embroidered by myself, Xianyi has always been worried whether you think the technique is not proficient enough."

"It's nothing, I really like it, and I can't bear to wear it!" Ukitake smiled gently, looking at Shiba Haiyan from time to time.

Another big news!It turned out that this whole coat was sewn by Moran Xianyi himself!

Seeing Ukitake's innocent and harmless smile on her face, Zhiba Haiyan deeply understood──

"It's not that we don't report, the time has not yet come" is indeed the truth since ancient times.

***

Due to the sudden departure of the vacation, apart from the immediate superior who gave the order, not many people in Seiling Court knew that Mo Ran Xianyi had returned to the Soul Realm.

Walking back to Moran's house alone, I thought it would be a good thing to avoid other people's eyes and ears, and return home in a low-key manner, but I didn't expect to meet a big man by chance.

Seeing Moran Xianyi walking towards him, the man was a little puzzled at first, but soon he was relieved.

"I'm still thinking about who is this pretty female Shinigami?" The captain of the fifth division ── Aizen Soyou recommended glasses, still with the signature gentle gesture, "Miss Moran, it's been a long time. It's been a while. Come back from this world?"

Moran Xianyi saluted him formally, and then happily responded: "Yes, Captain Aizen. It's almost Chinese New Year, take this opportunity to come back."

"I heard Yin said that you would come back soon, but I didn't expect to meet you just like this."

"Yes! Xian Yi is really lucky."

After some polite greetings, Aizen still couldn't help looking Moran Xianyi up and down: "Sorry, this is the first time I've seen Miss Moran's new look, it's a bit abrupt."

"It's nothing, Captain Blue Ran." Mo Ran Xianyi smiled nonchalantly, "Xianyi has only recently gotten used to herself in the mirror."

"I heard that changing your hairstyle can change your mood. Did Ms. Moran change it because she wanted to change her mood?" Aizen asked casually.

"Hmm... If you say that you cut your hair purely because you want to look beautiful, would you believe Captain Aizen?" Moran Xianyi asked back.

Lan Ran just looked at her fixedly after hearing this rhetorical question, with a clear smile in her eyes.

Being stared at by the pair of brown eyes that seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts, Mo Ran Xianyi clearly knows that his way of fooling people is not suitable for this captain.

In the end, he could only sigh, and said helplessly: "Okay! Captain Lanran, you won. Even Xianyi himself doesn't believe this."

"I haven't been with Miss Moran for a long time, but as far as I feel, Miss Moran should not have any ambitions about her appearance." From the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, she was obviously wearing gorgeous clothes, but her makeup was always elegant You can see it.

"Is it because of emotional problems, Miss Mo Ran?" Without waiting for Mo Ran Xianyi to respond, Ai Ran suddenly asked her another sharp question.

Moran Xianyi was taken aback when she heard the words, if she hadn't consciously concealed it well, otherwise she would have suspected that the whole world knew who she had liked.

Some words swirled on the tip of his tongue, but in the end he didn't choose to say it. Moran Xianyi just wrinkled his face and said bitterly: "Captain Lanran, you are really... you are really scary."

Lan Ran pushed his glasses again, and the lenses reflected light: "Miss Mo Ran is overrated."

"Hey, you really have to be careful not to sell yourself when you talk to smart people." Moran Xianyi shook his head, as if he was wary of himself, but in fact he said with a little teasing, "Captain Lanran, every time I talk to you, Xianyi I almost misunderstood that you can read minds."

"Actually, as long as you observe the details carefully, everyone can learn to read minds." Aizen smiled gently, and put forward a very practical statement following Moran Xianyi's meaning.

"Oh?" Moran Xianyi became interested, and rarely asked mischievously, "Then, can you read any message from Xianyi?"

Lan Ran heard the words, and looked at Mo Ran Xianyi with more concentration.

After a while of silence, Aizen suddenly stretched out his hand to her, and gently adjusted the hairpin that had slipped off her side, and then whispered softly in his usual gentle and deep voice: "When the snow grass blooms, the footsteps of spring will be near. ──”

"But it's still budding now. Miss Moran, you're not waiting for spring, you're waiting for flowers to bloom."
