A newbie's anime life diary

"We haven't even started for long, can you please not drink so fast? And have you forgotten what you promised?"

"Hey hey hey? Give it to me now!!!" As soon as Xiaojing saw her treasure being snatched away, she immediately pounced on Xuehui, trying to grab the red wine back. "It's Christmas Eve, don't worry about it so much~"

"I said no, and that means no. You two have already drunk a whole bottle. Can you be a little more moderate?" Xuehui raised the bottle high, preventing the other party from succeeding.

Upon hearing this, Xiaojing immediately pouted and pointed at Yangnai, who was swaying from side to side, saying, "She's the one who drank it all! I only had one cup! This is a rare find, and you went to great lengths to bring it out. I only had a little bit; I'm so ripped off..."

"Uh..." Xuehui looked at Yangna, who was clearly a little drunk, and found it quite unbelievable. "How could you drink so much?"

"Hehehe, it's Christmas Eve today, and I finally have some free time. I can rest well during this period until the New Year, so of course I should relax~ Yukiteru, you should drink too." Yang Nai raised her glass, gesturing for Yukiteru to join in.

"I refuse!"

"Sigh... How boring." With a pout, Yang Nai glanced at the bottle of wine in Yukiteru's hand, completely unconcerned, and reached behind her to pull out another bottle...

Damn it, it looks like they brought over three or four bottles!

"Yosh! Let's all drink tonight! We won't leave until we're drunk!!!"

After opening the bottle, Yang Nai immediately called everyone over, "Today is Christmas Eve, so don't worry about age. Drinking juice is so boring, let's all drink together! Especially for the girls, drinking a little can have anti-aging effects and is good for your health~"

While Haruno's words were appealing to Eriri, Komachi, Yuigahama, and Mina, they had no effect on Saeko Busujima and Yomi Isayama. As for Yukino and the other two, they hardly used any skincare products anymore.

However, given the atmosphere tonight, everyone took out their wine glasses and poured themselves some red wine, although the girls drank a little less.

Emmmmm~

Xuehui looked at the little girl, Liuli, who was holding a wine glass and observing curiously, and couldn't help but lean over and ask, "Are you sure you're okay drinking?"

"Are you an idiot? I'm not Bai Suzhen, and this isn't realgar wine, so what use is it? Besides, I have dragon blood, so what use is a little bit of red wine? Humph~" As she spoke, the white snake loli proudly picked up her wine glass and took a small sip. "Hmm~ Not bad."

"Yes, this little bite costs over ten dollars, how could it taste good?"

The white snake loli completely ignored Yukiteru's complaints and ran over to Saeko Busujima on her little feet, drinking it bit by bit.

Seeing that he couldn't pet the little girl anymore, Yukiteru looked around and had no choice but to go to Eriri's side.

This girl has actually started drinking now, and surprisingly, she's doing quite well?

Sensing Yukiteru's questioning gaze, Eriri blushed. Perhaps it was the alcohol, but her tone became noticeably harsher: "Hmph, what are you looking at! I've practiced at home!"

Indeed, just as Eriri herself said, in order to avoid embarrassing herself in this area in the future, she specifically asked her mother to help her train her alcohol tolerance. Although she still gets drunk easily, half a glass of red wine is no longer a problem for her.

"Wow! Amazing!" Xuehui clapped his hands after hearing this.

"Hmph, how about that! I've been improving all along!" Seemingly a little smug, Eriri took another big gulp of her wine.

"Cough cough cough! I drank too much... cough... too much!"

The next second, his true colors were revealed...

Half an hour later, although most people, except for a few with a good alcohol tolerance, had only drunk half a glass or even less, some people still unexpectedly passed out.

There were two people, Ruri and Mina.

I can understand what Wei Na is saying. Although she has cultivated well, she has never touched alcohol before. She was even forbidden from eating chocolates with liqueur fillings before. This time, she was finally able to taste the so-called "adult's drink". She drank a little too much and then passed out.

The most unbelievable thing was Liuli. She only had less than a quarter of a cup, and she collapsed before even finishing it—she was utterly pathetic. And when Xuehui asked her, she was so smug about her lineage, making people think she was incredibly powerful. Xuehui was certain that if this girl went out alone, she could be tricked by ten Xu Xians in a single day—she was incredibly stupid.

"Well, although two little ones have fallen, everyone else is still alive, so there's no problem. We should move on to the next step." Everyone gathered together, and Xuehui's expression was very serious.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your wording, like 'still alive'?"

"Don't make sarcastic remarks at a time like this. You're not wearing your glasses, so don't turn yourself into a sarcastic character," Yukiteru said after giving Hachiman a sharp retort. "Christmas, Christmas Eve, the most important thing is, of course, Christmas presents!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when Xuehui said that.

However, while Hibihama's gaze was directed at Hikigaya, Komachi's gaze was directed at everyone, and Yukino, Utaha, Shizuka, Eriri, Haruno, and even Saeko Busujima and Yomi Isayama all had their eyes on Yukiteru.

Yes, Alexander.

Fortunately, everyone was prepared, including the two who were already lying down.

"Hmm, now that everyone is ready, let's go and take out the gifts we brought."

A few minutes later, everyone came down from their pre-assigned rooms upstairs and brought down their gifts. Among them, Xuehui was the most eye-catching.

One, two, three, four, five... there are too many to count.

"How many people is this?" Hachiman looked at the scene and found it hard to believe. Also, could this guy even tell the difference?

"Hmph, don't even think about it. You won't get any. I don't have the habit of giving gifts to boys. If you want them, wait until your birthday."

"I don't have that habit either."

“But my birthday is coming up soon, you should know that, hehe.” Seeing Hikigaya’s sudden change in expression, Yukiteru’s expression instantly turned sinister. “Don’t worry, as long as the sentiment is there, I won’t care too much.”

"you are vicious!"

After the commotion subsided, everyone finally started exchanging gifts.

Sorry, I had to go out for a while today, but thankfully I made it back this afternoon and am starting to write.

Chapter 260 The unfolding after the carnival

As everyone saw before, Xuehui prepared a lot of gifts, and almost everyone present received one.

Yeah, I don't have any, it's really a bit strange to send a boy off.

Similarly, Hikigaya didn't prepare a portion for Yukiteru, but he did prepare one for his whole family.

Seeing the gift box that Hachiman had handed over first, Yukiteru was genuinely surprised: "Sigh~ It seems you're not quite what you think. I'll accept the gift, thank you. I didn't really prepare this for you, but I've included it in Komachi's share."

"Oh my god!! Really! That's great! Where's my gift, Yukiteru-nii?" Upon hearing this, Komachi, disregarding whether her older brother was the one receiving the worst treatment, immediately squeezed past him and came to Yukiteru's side.

Xuehui had always been fond of this cute little girl, and patted her head, saying, "Okay, here's yours first."

As he spoke, Yukiteru buried himself in the pile of gifts, and to Komachi's anticipation, he pulled out a rather large box.

"Here you are, Merry Christmas, Komachi."

"Thank you, Xuehui-nii! It's so heavy! Can I open it?" After receiving the gift box, Xiaomachi felt her hands sink down, her anticipation growing even stronger.

After Yukiteru nodded in agreement, Komachi immediately pulled up a chair and sat down, then began to tear open the wrapping paper.

"Oh my god!!! A laptop!" In no time, Komachi spotted the laptop box inside and her eyes lit up as she picked it up.

"Hey, isn't this a bit too expensive?" Hachiman felt embarrassed watching his younger sister having so much fun. Although he didn't see the specific model, it must cost close to 10 yen, right?

This guy? Could he really have feelings for Komachi?

"Stop with your ridiculous ideas, bro?" Yukiteru waved his hand at Hachiman like he was shooing away a fly and said nonchalantly, "Didn't Komachi say before that she wanted a new computer as a gift for getting into high school? I'm just giving it to her ahead of time."

"I always feel like this is something I should be doing, it's like you're doing it for me."

"Well, you're a grown man, don't worry about it so much. Besides, it's not just for me. This is a gift from all of us to Komachi. It's a big present. There are a few other little ones too. Such a cute little sister, of course we have to take good care of her. Komachi, consider this our entrance gift and encouragement for you, our junior next year. Good luck on your entrance exams!" Yukiteru said with a smile, rubbing Komachi's head and feeling the smooth texture of her hair.

"Yes, ma'am! Komachi will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!" Komachi said earnestly, raising her hand in a salute. Then she threw herself into the arms of Yukino and the others, giving each of them a sweet kiss.

When it was Yukiteru's turn, Komachi said a little shyly, "Komachi came here today to receive gifts, so the kiss earlier was a return gift. But Yukiteru-nii is a boy, so let's be a little reserved~"

After saying that, he walked over and gave Yukiteru a bear hug, making Hachiman envious and jealous.

My own little sister hasn't hugged me like this in a long time.

No, we must take back our position!

So, Hikigaya also took out the gift he had prepared for Komachi.

Although Komachi didn't have high expectations at first, when she opened it, she was surprised to find a new smartphone. It seems that Hachiman Hikigaya spent a lot of money this time.

So, is Komachi actually the biggest winner tonight? Getting everything she wants, one by one?

Even Yuihama gave Komachi a new winter outfit.

Yes, Komachi won big tonight!!!

From Komachi's own perspective, that's certainly true. But later, it was Yukiteru's turn, and he received seven gifts all by himself.

First, we opened Yukino Utaha's and Shizuka's.

Emmmmm~

Xuehui looked at the three items in his hand with a somewhat surprised expression.

"Although I sensed that you guys had been preparing something, I didn't expect you to do this yourself."

The scarf, gloves, and sweater were all knitted by the three of them. The scarf was a gift from Shizuka, the gloves were from Utaha, and the sweater, which was the most difficult and time-consuming to make, was a gift from Yukino.

"Thank you, I really like it."

Seeing the bright smile on Yukiteru's face, Yukino and the others felt that their hard work over the past month had been worthwhile. They were also very satisfied with the gifts Yukiteru had given them.

Then, one by one, the gifts were opened, and they were all very original items. Even Eriri, the little girl, gave him a business-style watch.

"Well... now that I've started a company, I think I should dress better when I go out to discuss business, so I chose this..." Eriri said somewhat awkwardly, feeling the gazes of everyone around her, while looking at Yukiteru with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Looking at the watch on his wrist, Xuehui put it on without thinking. And it actually looked quite nice.

"Thank you, Eriri. I will keep wearing it."

"Ugh... I... I'm glad you like it..." Eriri was already incredibly shy. This was the first time she had given a gift to a boy in front of so many people, and this was the best she could do.

After that, the Christmas gifts were delivered back and forth, and finally it was all done, leaving behind a mess of gift wrapping paper on the ground.

The joyful time passed quickly, and it was almost midnight.

"So, this is the last part." Xuehui clapped his hands and looked at the still-awake group. "You should have seen the locked place at the back of this villa, right? I locked it on purpose. As for what's inside... hehehe, an artificial hot spring! And the key is right here!"

The moment Yukiteru took out the key, it was snatched away by Haruno who was nearby. It was unclear why this guy was so agile despite drinking so much.

Looking at the hall that had suddenly fallen silent, Hachiman asked blankly, "How many hot springs are there?"

"Forget about one. Go take a bath in the bathroom in your room," Yuki said to Hachiman after sitting down on the sofa.

"I think so too, what about you?"

"I'll sit for a while longer. I didn't expect hot springs to be so attractive to girls. I'm a little disappointed."

"Hmm~ then you can be sad all you want. I'm going to rest after I take a shower. Goodnight."
