At the end of December, the atmosphere of Christmas gradually became stronger.In the past, Lin Yuanxue stayed at home or school all year round, and was too lazy to celebrate when he was alone, and rarely joined in the fun when the school had programs, basically because of this festival.But this year is an exception.

She calculated the money she earned from working part-time in the music classroom and the little savings left in her card, and she was sure that in this state, she could pay all the tuition fees at the beginning of the fourth school year, and even save a little surplus, so she put it down. Xin, withdrew a little money on Christmas Eve, and brought it along with the Christmas budget allocated by Hong Jiaodong for this purpose, and went out to prepare for shopping.

Lin Yuanxun had observed Christmas products in different places in advance. At this time, she had enough budget, so she abandoned the rustic business supermarket without hesitation and came to the bustling business district.After a long time, when she passed through the center of the shopping mall with exquisite decoration and high commodity prices again, she was just a little dazed, and then she gave a low laugh.

Lin Yuanxun found that he didn't want expensive things much.Although her life during this period was much poorer than in the past, she also lived a very fulfilling life—clothes that cost less than [-] yen were still comfortable to wear, and it was fun to watch her cooking skills gradually improve.She also met many lovely children in the music classroom, who followed her and called "teacher teacher"...

If she doesn't force herself, she doesn't know how much pressure she can bear and what kind of things she can do.

While thinking, Lin Yuanxun walked into the area where small household items were sold in the mall.Before she moved into the apartment, Hong Jiaodong's home furnishing was aimed at minimalism, and she didn't bring much luggage, so until now, the apartment is still quite empty.

Hayashi Yuankaoru thinks it's time to add some small things.She walked and looked at the shelves, and when she reached the tableware area, someone tugged at her sleeves.

When she turned around, she saw the orange-haired girl looking up at her with round and bright eyes: "Miss Lin Yuan, what a coincidence, are you here to buy tableware?"

Kaoru Hayashihara nodded and asked Sakura Chiyo, "Are you too?"

Sakura Chiyo shook her head, and the ribbon on her head swayed along her hair: "Today I accompanied Nozaki-kun and Komimi to collect materials! Nozaki-kun intends to draw festive memes, and today I came here to take some photos of shopping malls during Christmas and Gift wrap."

While talking, Sakura Chiyo pointed to a tall man wrapped in a black down jacket squatting by the shelf, indicating that it was Nozaki Umetaro.

Hearing Sakura Chiyo's voice, the group of black down jackets turned around and raised their black-gloved palms towards Kaoru Hayashibara: "Hello, we meet again."

Kaoru Hayashibara looked at Nozaki Umetaro who was wrapped like a ball, and then at the cute and neat Sakura Chiyo in a pink short coat and woolen skirt, and fell silent.

"Why does he wear so many?" She secretly asked Sakura Chiyo.

There was some hesitation in Sakura Chiyo's eyes.She took a cautious look at Nozaki Umetaro, and then whispered in Hayashibara Kaoru's ear, "Nozaki-kun jumped into the water the day before yesterday to practice the effect of being pushed into the pool in winter, and caught a cold."

Hayashi Yuanxun was a little surprised: "Is Mamiko so miserable?"

Sakura Chiyo shook her head: "It's not Mamiko, it's Koyanagi Natsuki. She was pushed into the swimming pool by a supporting role who has a crush on the young master. Mamiko's plot is now progressing to the point where Mamiko brings Suzuki-kun specialties from her hometown, but after Suzuki-kun finishes eating, because The plot of being allergic to the hospital..."

Lin Yuanxun was silent for a while after listening, and then said cautiously: "He, in order to understand Suzuki's feelings, did he..."

"Ah? No, no..." Sakura Chiyo immediately shook her head, and after a while said with some guilt, "But Nozaki-kun went to the hospital for observation..."

Hayashi Yuanxun nodded, and thought for a long time before saying: "He... is very hardworking. I don't know why I am not angry at him for using me as Xiaoliu Xiashu's prototype."

She stared at Nozaki Umetaro for a while, and suddenly remembered something.

"That, Nozaki-kun." Kaoru Hayashi walked up to Nozaki who was nestled in front of the shelf, bent down and patted his shoulder, "I'm going to give my boyfriend a Christmas present, but I don't know what boys like, you Can you help me choose one?"

Nozaki Umetaro stood up and walked to the other side of the mall thoughtfully.Lin Yuanxun was taken aback for a moment, and followed subconsciously.

Nozaki Umetaro walked to the magazine shelf without hesitation, picked up a copy of "Monthly Girls' Romance" and handed it to Kaoru Hayashibara.

"This month's "Monthly Girls' Romance" is a special edition, the price remains the same, and the content is one-third more." Umetaro Nozaki said with a serious face, "Most of the works have been made for Christmas planning, and there are also manga artists who draw independent works. The Christmas story, the purchase will also be given as a gift, this is the perfect gift.”

Lin Yuanxun rejected his kindness without hesitation: "Thank you, but forget it, no matter how you think about it, it's not appropriate."

"Is that so?" Nozaki Umetaro thought for a while, but still didn't put the magazine back in his hand, "It just so happens that the magazine sent me not enough samples, so I'll buy a few more as gifts."

Seeing that Umetaro Nozaki couldn't help, Sakura Chiyo suggested to Kaoru Hayashibara: "Why don't we go find Xiao Miyu? Xiao Miyu—ah, it's Mikoshiba-kun—he pays attention to image and looks very handsome, so he should be able to Great advice. I remember he was going out this time to buy himself something for the Christmas sale, let's see what he has to buy."

Lin Yuanxun had no objection.She and Nozaki Umetaro followed Sakura Chiyo back and forth between the shelves, and they found Miko Shibamikoto very quickly.When they discovered the handsome young man with red hair, he was holding a pot of exquisitely shaped flowers and studying them intently.In the shopping cart behind him was a box of beautiful girl figurines, and the figurines were the bodysuit version of Peach Soda Girl, the female partner of Soda Superman No. [-].

After finding an acquaintance standing behind him, the red-haired boy immediately stood in front of the shopping cart like a frightened animal, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...how much have you seen? All, forget about it!"

Lin Yuanxun gave up his plan to ask them for advice.

***

Hayashi Yuankaoru walked around the shopping center all afternoon and only bought a few small items.She still hasn't been able to decide what Christmas gift to give Hong Jiaodong.Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and some shops facing the street turned on their lights, she had no choice but to turn around and walk back, intending to buy a scarf in the shop she visited just now.

When she walked to the clothing store, she was just about to go in, but she suddenly caught a glimpse of a small shadow at the door of the store from the corner of her eye, and subconsciously stopped, and looked to the side.

Next to the men's clothing store is a pet supply store. There is a huge advertisement at the entrance of the store, and the lights in the store are already on.And in the shadows by the door of the pet shop, squatting a skinny kitten the size of a palm.

The fluffy black kitten is only about a month old, and its head occupies almost half the size of its body.Its ears are pointed and pointed, and its thin tail is coiled around its side. It is looking up with its yellow eyes at the advertisements that are played on the TV on the wall at the entrance of the shop in a loop.The cat in the ad is eating cat food with its head bowed, with a satisfied expression on its face.

In the cold air, the little black cat's body shivered slightly.

Christmas promotional cat food and various pet supplies are piled up at the entrance of the pet supply store, and the cat's tongue is curled and licked the tip of the nose printed on the packaging bag.There were a few shop assistants standing sparsely in the store, and no one noticed the little black cat sitting at the door with faint longing in its eyes.

Hayashi Yuanxun cautiously approached the little black cat, walked to a place less than one meter away from it and slowly squatted down.She saw the little black cat turning its head slowly, so she slowly stretched out her hand towards it.

The little black cat opened its mouth, as if it wanted to scream.But perhaps because it hadn't eaten or drank for a long time, the tip of its tongue rolled, but it only made a faint breath sound from its throat.

After staring at Lin Yuanxun with yellow eyes for a while, it stood up and approached, lowered its head slightly, and rubbed her hand with its head.

The strength of the kitten was as light as a feather brushing against the skin, but Hayashi Yuan Kaoru still trembled.She raised her hand and gently stroked the kitten's fluffy head, then took off the scarf around her neck, wrapped it inside, and walked into the pet supply store.

***

Goat milk powder, kitten food, cat litter and other supplies, plus the cost of physical examination at the pet hospital not only spent all the money in the Christmas budget, but also made Hayashi Yuan Kaoru an extra sum.But fortunately, the abandoned little black cat has no other diseases except malnutrition.

When I returned to the apartment building, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.When Lin Yuanxun saw the lights in the windows of his house, he knew that Hong Jiaodong had arrived home.

With a bag of pet supplies in her arms and a little black cat tightly wrapped in a scarf in her arms, she opened the door of the apartment.

When he entered the door, Hong Jiaodong was sitting at the table.Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head and was about to call her, but was stunned when he saw the kitten in her arms.

Lin Yuanxun stood there, a little nervous.

"Sorry, Jiao Dong." She glanced down at the little fluffy head protruding from the scarf, and explained, "I know our situation is not suitable for raising small animals, but it is really too small, Huddled in front of the pet supply store, no one saw him. I'm afraid if left alone, he will freeze to death tonight...”

Lin Yuanxun's words stopped when Hong Jiaodong came over.She raised her head, and saw Hong Jiaodong carefully hooking the edge of the scarf with her fingers, and gently stroking the kitten's ears.

"I don't mind having a cat, Kaoru." He said, bending down curiously, and looking at the thin kitten who raised his head. I like to play with the kitten, but unfortunately the kitten was sent away later.”

"Is this the Christmas present you chose for me?" Hong Jiaodong scratched the little black cat's chin with his index finger, with a child-like smile on his face, "I like it very much. Thank you."

The moment the little black cat stuck out its tongue and licked Hong's frozen fingertips, a kind of anticipation suddenly arose in his heart.

Perhaps the things he felt destined to lose in childhood: gentle and kind mother, older brothers and sisters and good friends, sweet cherry blossom dumplings, fluffy kittens and a wife who does not need to consider matching personalities will all be sent back to him by fate ; those shortcomings in the past, those things you couldn't ask for, will be properly made up for in a way that he couldn't predict.

—to make his life whole again.

***

Hong Jiaodong especially likes the little black cat.He didn't even care about the heat of the food on the table, so he made goat milk powder, put it in a feeding bottle after it dropped to room temperature, held the little black cat and fed it little by little, until the kitten was full, and then quickly solved it with Lin Yuanxun dinner.

When Lin Yuanxun finished making the mask and walked into the bedroom, Hong Jiaodong was carefully sitting on the bed, looking down at something, not daring to move.

She was a little curious, and when she took a closer look, she realized that Hong's scorched palm was hanging by her leg. The little black cat had rolled into a ball on the soft bed at some point, and fell asleep with half of its head resting on Hong's scorched hand. up.As for Hong Jiaodong, perhaps this was the first time he encountered such a situation, his expression was soft and at a loss, and he didn't even dare to move his fingers, for fear of waking up the little black cat.

"Xun, it's just in time." He heard Lin Yuanxun's footsteps, raised his head, and even said softly, "Can you help me get a water glass?"

Lin Yuanxun wanted to laugh a little.She turned around and handed him the scorched glass, watching him take several sips of water.

"Are you planning to just spend the night like this?" Lin Yuanxun didn't put the water glass back after taking the water glass from Hong Jiao Dong's hand, but squatted down holding the glass to look at the cat.The little black cat is probably exhausted, and has been homeless again, and now it seems particularly clingy.

Hong Jiaodong frowned in embarrassment, and said after a while: "I tried to pull my hand back just now. But as soon as I pulled my hand away, Xiao Hei would wake up, and then crawled onto my hand and continued to sleep. It It seems like I can’t sleep without lying on top of someone.”

After a while, he even named the cat.

Perhaps because it was disturbed by the two people's voices, the little milk cat lying on Hong Jiaodong's hands moved its ears.

Lin Yuanxun simply put the cup on the bedside table, and whispered to Hong Jiaodong's ear: "Xiao Hei is probably afraid of being abandoned when he wakes up. He probably thinks that if he sleeps on you, you just need to move it. Wake up, so that you won't be secretly thrown away..."

Hong Jiaodong suddenly realized, and looked at the little black cat with a bit of distress in his eyes.

"I won't lose him." He said, stretching out his fingers gently, stroking the fur on the little black cat's head.

Lin Yuanxun sat on the bed from the other side, and couldn't help but look at the warm and affectionate Hong Jiaodong and the little black cat. He suddenly felt that his appearance was very cute, and his eyes were even more like innocent kittens than Xiao Hei.

The night outside the window was very dark, and a little bit of snow flakes fell faintly, freezing the night into little holes.

"Scorched, it's snowing." Lin Yuanxun was the first to notice the snowflakes outside the window.She cried softly, got off the bed, and turned on the heater, which was not easy to turn on in order to save gas fees.Usually, the two of them basically don't turn on the heating. Because of their personality, Hong Jiaodong has long been used to covering his body with ice cubes, and he is not afraid of the winter weather at all, while Hayashi Yuan Kaoru will wear several layers of clothes during the day, and Hong Jiaodong will wear it when it is cold at night. I will hold her to sleep, and the temperature is just right.But today was Christmas Eve after all, and there was an extra kitten at home, so she gave up her plan to save money in this regard.

Hong's scorched arms began to go numb.After hesitating for a long time, he took out a pillow on the bed and put it on the bedside table, and carefully placed the little black cat on the pillow.The little black cat was probably completely asleep, and this time it didn't wake up again, only its beard trembled slightly.

Lin Yuanxun lay on the bed, watching Hong Jiaodong lightly touched the little black cat from its forehead to the tip of its tail, and stroked it back and forth for a while, the little black cat stretched out comfortably, revealing its belly bulging from drinking goat milk.

Hong Jiaodong exhaled lightly.He turned his head and saw Lin Yuanxun lying on the bedside looking at him, so he followed her example and also lay down.

"Do you know, Xun, I actually like cats very much." Hong Jiaodong whispered, with a smile in his eyes, "I really didn't expect you to bring Xiao Hei back this time. I'm very happy."

His breathing was very low, but he still slowly brushed the broken hair on Kaoru Hayashi Yuan's cheeks.The tips of her ears trembled sensitively, and a flash of hot color surged up.

"En." Lin Yuanxun replied in a low voice, lying on the pillow, buried most of his face in his arms, only showing a pair of blue eyes looking at him.Gorgeous blond hair spread out on her back, revealing a bit of white nape on her neckline.The pajamas that Lin Yuanxun was wearing happened to be the pink pajamas that Hong Jiaodong bought for her. The material was close to the back, revealing the shape of a beautiful butterfly bone.

Seeing her slender pale fingers hooking the edge of the pillow, Hong Jiaodong lowered his eyes, sat up, and took out a small velvet bag from the bedside table.

"Actually, I also prepared a Christmas present for you, Kaoru." He held the bag and said softly.

Lin Yuanxun instinctively supported himself with his arms and sat up.She watched as Hong Jiaodong took out a flat box from the velvet bag and opened it.

Two pairs of rings with a simple shape are tightly stuck in the box. The design of the ring body is simple and elegant, shining with silvery white light.

Looking at the pair of rings, Lin Yuanxun's heart beat a little faster.

"I secretly measured your finger circumference while you were sleeping." Hong's scorched eyes were full of tenderness, "I will give you this first, and I will replace it with a wedding ring later."

He spread his palm towards Lin Yuanxun, she raised her hand subconsciously, and carefully placed her left hand in his palm.

Hong Jiaodong took out the smaller ring and put it on the tip of Lin Yuanxun's left ring finger.He only pushed up slightly, and the ring smoothly slid to the base of his finger, where it stuck firmly.

After letting go of Lin Yuanxun's hand, Hong Jiaodong picked up the other men's ring and wanted to put it on, but Lin Yuanxun held down his hand.

"Let me do it." Her cheeks flushed, she said softly, took the ring from Hong Jiaodong's hand, and put it on for him just like him just now.

The two hands wearing the same ring lightly hooked together.Lin Yuanxun looked down at the small silver circle on his hand, and the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a smile.

"Jiao Dong." She raised her head, and moved her face closer like a baby, her voice was soft and nasal, "It's done, I still owe me the ring, give it to me quickly..."

The girl still has a seductive fragrance on her body, and her moist lips are only a few steps away from the scorching cold.He raised his hand, stroked her cheek with the pulp of his thumb, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Lin Yuanxun raised his head to greet him.Between lips and teeth grinding, the two fell on the bed.She reached out to touch his neckline, but the back of her hand was suddenly held down by him.

Hongjiao lay on Lin Yuanxun's body, raised his body slightly to stare at her, his bangs drooped, revealing his clear and meaningful eyebrows.Lin Yuanxun was kissed by him until the corners of his eyes were filled with tears, and he gasped a few times.

"If it's because of Xiao Hei..." She bit her lower lip and said softly, "I will try my best not to make a sound..."

The frozen Adam's apple visibly rolled.

"Let's rest today." After a while, he bowed his head and kissed her on the forehead, tactfully rejecting her with forbearance and tenderness.

The lights dimmed.Hong Jiaodong lay down, took Lin Yuanxun into his arms as usual, grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest to warm it up.

Lin Yuanxun rested quietly on his arm, and opened his eyes in the dark.

It has been more than two months since she moved into the apartment.The two began to sleep in the same bed from the first day they lived together, but their intimacy was limited to kissing and hugging, and they never did anything above that.

Maybe it's because both parties are too busy with work and study... But in the past two months, there are a few nights that are slightly free.But Hong Jiaodong always hugged her to sleep in a proper manner, without any behavior beyond the rules.

But it wasn't that he didn't want her.The night she decided to spend time with HongJiaoJing, maybe they would have crossed that line if he hadn't found out she had a fever.It's just that after living together, he seemed to have some other idea, which he didn't say out loud, but he insisted on it all the time.

"Jiao Dong..." Lin Yuanxun finally couldn't help but call out his name softly, and put his arms around his strong waist, "Why don't you want to have sex with me?"

In the darkness, she noticed that his hand moved to the back of her head, pressing her head into her arms even harder.

"It's not that I don't want to." Hong Jiao Dong said sullenly.Lin Yuanxun's face was pressed against his chest muscles, and she could clearly hear the tremors in his chest when he spoke.

"Before I do the next thing with you, I want everyone to know that you exist." He kissed her hair. "I want you to meet my family."

***

The next morning, when Hayashi Yuanxun woke up, the snow outside had already stopped.On this day when she didn't need to work or study, she rarely slept until nine o'clock.

Hong Jiaodong has already woken up, but the heater is still on.Lin Yuanxun remembered that Hong Jiaodong had a Christmas break, so he yawned slightly, got up and walked into the living room.

Her boyfriend was sitting on the couch watching the morning news with the little black cat in his arms.After a full meal and a night's rest, the kitten is now in much better spirits than when it first arrived home. The golden eyes that were originally dim are now round, staring curiously at the TV with constantly changing screens.

On the table was a cooked breakfast.Lin Yuanxun didn't bother one person and one cat who were watching the news engrossedly. They sat quietly at the table eating breakfast, and glanced at the TV from time to time.

The news was broadcasting to the end when several rhythmic knocks on the door suddenly sounded.Lin Yuanxun was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously glanced towards the door.

Lin Yuanxun suddenly felt a little funny when he saw the little black cat that was rooted on his leg anxiously.The door was not far from the dining table, and she didn't put down her chopsticks, she stood up lazily biting the tip of the chopsticks, walked to the door, held the handle with her free hand and twisted it open.

As soon as she opened the door, she froze.

Standing behind the door was a woman in her 40s.The woman had medium-length silver hair, was wearing a thick overcoat and an ankle-length skirt, and although there were a few slight wrinkles on her face, she could still see bright eyebrows and standard bones. She was a rare beauty.To her, the traces of wind and frost on the brows and corners of the eyes are more like an explicit story, but what settles down to the bone is tenderness and tolerance.

After recognizing that the eyebrows and eyes of the woman outside the door were half or six points similar to the scorching frozen ones, the chopsticks that Kaoru Hayashi was biting between his lips fell to the ground with a "click".
