Comics, daily stories

"Yeah." Nomiya nodded and continued his meal.

Kato Megumi looked at the boy opposite her who was acting as usual, and tightened her fingers: "Fukahaya, isn't it a bit inappropriate to let you eat 'Osechi Ryori' with me this afternoon?"

Nomiya looked up in surprise. He saw the other party's slight helplessness and tried hard to swallow the food in his mouth.

He stretched out his foot and kicked the girl's calf, saying with a smile, "I'm honored that Kato could take the time to come and spend some time with me today and help me prepare dinner. I don't really have much experience with Osechi cuisine or New Year's celebrations."

He lowered his head and continued to pick the board, his voice vague: "I'm very happy and grateful that Kato can come here."

"Is that so? Then Feng Zao, eat quickly so we can open the presents early. I remember Feng Zao received a lot of New Year's presents today."

Ok?

Nomiya looked up and looked across.

The girl had a normal expression and looked calm.

Chapter 119 New Year's Gift

It’s the New Year again, and with it comes another batch of New Year gifts.

This year, Nomiyama did not look at the gifts from others before choosing a return gift. Instead, he prepared the gifts early and sent them to his friends.

Just like last year, he sat in the kotatsu and opened Yukinoshita's gift on the table first.

Inside the gift box is a photo album, or a photo collection.

Nomiyama turned to the first page and saw her standing in a forest full of red maples in a little white dress, smiling faintly.

In a world full of red, she is the only white.

Take a look at Nomiyama's closed photo album.

"Kazehaya, don't you want to continue watching?" Kato Megumi tilted her head.

"Well, no rush, no rush." Nomiya responded calmly and carefully placed the photo album beside him.

Yukinoshita-san, these are all your pictures. Are you trying to send yourself here?

He reached out, took Eriri's gift, and opened it.

The gift he gave Yukinoshita was quite common. He fantasized about it in his mind and then picked out a few small dresses for her, which were the dresses she would wear to take photo albums.

The only trouble was probably asking her for her physical data. After I asked, I had to endure several days of sarcasm and contempt before I got it.

But Nomiyama can also understand it. After all, well, judging from the data, it seems that there has not been much growth in any aspect.

Haha, Yukinoshita is just helpless and angry.

After opening Eriri's gift box, he reached in and rummaged around inside.

He took out the game disc, which had a note on it.

Qianxun ⑨б０①②⑥②⑦ Mountain Order

【New version, all members can play it】

Can everyone conquer it?

Nomiyama looked doubtful. Could Sayuri give me something normal?

But he still put it away, since it could still help him pass the time.

A strategy version for everyone?

Kato Megumi narrowed her eyes, remained quiet and said nothing.

The gift Nomiyama gave to Eriri was according to her wishes. He gave Eriri a first edition of teacher "Kasumi Shiko"'s novel, with a signed copy. She likes the "Love Story" series of novels very much, and she would probably be very happy, as long as she didn't find out that "Kasumi Shiko" was senior Kasumigaoka.

The next gift I opened was from Senior Kasumigaoka, and it was also a book.

"Snow Country" by Yasunari Kawabata

This time it still comes with a sentence.

【I go and you stay, two autumns】

Nomiyama looked at Feiju and thought for a while, then finally put the book away and put it on the table with his feet.

The gift he gave to his senior was also a book, a fairy tale book that he liked very much.

"Night on the Galactic Railroad" by Kenji Miyazawa

There is also a message on the title page: [Look up, there are stars in the sky]

Behind it is Yang No's gift.

Nomiyama hesitated for a rare moment. He turned his head to look at Kato, who looked calm, and carefully opened the gift box.

The first thing he took out was a piece of paper with something written on it.

㈠○﹄㈡0ノ╲③９bat

【I bought the extra size this time! 】

Gripping the paper tightly, Nomiyama put the whole box of [Okamoto] down on the table in a flash, and then began to open a gift box with a calm expression.

Kato Megumi watched his movements quietly without saying a word.

Large size [Okamoto]

Recalling the Okamoto packaging cover she had just seen, she decided to check carefully when she got back to see how big it was.

And that senior Yang Nai is really out of tune.

As Nomiyama opened the gift box, he felt that Haruno was a little too unreliable. At least his own gift was not so unreasonable.

He thought that Yang Nai would be entering her last year of high school next year, which would mean she would be taking the college entrance examination soon, so he bought her dozens of kilograms of test papers through various channels.

Well, since I’m going to be grounded anyway, I might as well explore the ocean of knowledge.

The next gift belongs to Gong Yu. It is more practical and more in line with his current situation.

A sleeping pillow.

There was also a note inside the gift box: [If you want to sleep in the kotatsu, it would be better to bring a pillow. The living room floor is very hard.]

ー澪?樲⒉８３○⒐仈

With a slight smile on his lips, Nomiya put the note away and placed the pillow next to him.

The gift he gave to Gong Yu was a pure white kimono, which was definitely not as good as the exquisite custom-made kimono she was wearing when they first met. However, Nomiyama knew that she didn't care about these things. She probably only cared about the gift he gave her.

It’s just that her shipping address was a bit strange. It didn’t explain anything clearly. She just said to give it to the courier and she would get it.

Forget it, it’s not surprising that capitalists can do anything.

He reached out and took the last gift box, then turned his head and looked at Kato.

Do you want to dismantle it?

Kato Megumi stood up and said casually, "It's a New Year's gift, it's better to open it in the New Year."

Nomiyama turned his head, looked at the pile of gifts beside him, then looked at Kato, speechless.

"What's wrong, Kazehaya." Kato Megumi blinked.

"No, I'll take you home." After stretching, Nomiya stood up.

"Okay." Kato Megumi did not refuse, because she really liked walking on the road with him in snowy weather.

They each put on their coats and scarves, and then went out together.

When leaving, Nomiyama's eyes lingered on Kato's neck. The pure black scarf was a New Year's gift from him. He had wanted to think about it again, but when shopping in the supermarket, Kato fell in love with the pure black color at first sight.

Shrinking his neck, Nomiya looked down at his scarf.

Same color, same style.

At this time, it was not too late. Although the neon lights were on, they did not affect the skylight or the white snow in sight.

"Fenghaya, have you seen the movie 'Love Letter'?"

Nomiyama heard the question and nodded: "Yes, I have seen it, twice."

"When I watched Love Letter, the thing I remember most was the snow. Hiroko Watanabe knew that her deceased fiancé Fujii Itsuki was in love with someone who was similar to her, someone named Fujii Itsuki. She walked alone in the snow, calling out to the mountains, 'How are you?' and then she shouted, 'I'm fine!'"

Nomiya turned her head and looked at Kato, who was hiding under the scarf with her neck shrunk. Her voice was muffled, probably because her lips were covered.

Listening to the crunching sound of snow under his feet, Nomi-san said, "Does Kato like snow too?"

Kato Hui shook her head, her tone still as calm as water: "No, I don't like snow, I just like the romance that snow represents."

She took a few steps forward, thought of the female classmate whose name contained the character "snow", and then thought of the person next to her whose name contained the character "wind", and bit her lip.

After a moment, she ran forward a few steps.

Nomiyama looked at her who was suddenly a few steps away from him, his expression stunned.

He saw that her hair was as white as snow and her lips were a beautiful cherry color. Then she put her hands together in front of her mouth and made a trumpet shape.

"Are you OK!!!!"

Nomiya stopped and looked at the girl who was trying hard to make her expression lively. He moved his hands, wanting to gather his trumpet and respond like her.

But in the end he didn't move, and his hands stopped.

His eyes rippled slightly, those emotions were visible under the clear spring water, and some firm words came out of his mouth.

"Kato Megumi is not Watanabe Hiroko, and Nomi Yamakaze is not Fujii Itsuki."

"We are not characters in those sob stories."

Kato Hui loosened her grip, resisted the urge to throw herself into his arms, and tried to put on a serious expression: "Are you sure about this, Kazehaya?"

Nomiyama nodded: "I'm sure ours won't be a sad story."

"OK."

The girl lowered her head and responded softly.

......

Late at night, at the Nomiyama family's house, the boy curled up in the kotatsu.

( 1000 xun )⒏一⒋９○３⑺⑼捌

He was sleeping on his side with only his head exposed.

The door was pushed open. The person was very careful, just pushing the door gently and closing it gently, trying not to make any noise.

She walked into the living room, took off her coat, and quietly looked at the boy sleeping under the stove.

After a moment, she bent her legs and sat down, then carefully tucked her body into the kotatsu and quietly lay down beside him, with only her head exposed.

Nomiya smelled a familiar scent, his eyelids moved, and then he opened them.

The black hair was dyed with white snow, and a cold feeling was coming from the other person's body.

His expression changed slightly, and there was some helplessness in his words: "If you want to come, just tell me, I can pick you up."

The person on the other side just opened his eyes and looked at him quietly without answering.

Nomiyama reached out and scratched his hair, a little angry: "You are a girl after all, why are you walking on the street in the middle of the night? If something unexpected happens, do you want me to kill someone?"

"I won't have any accidents."

"What if? What if?"

Kato Megumi still looked at him steadily, seeing him rarely angry.

"But Fenghaya, if I tell you in advance, the New Year's gift won't be surprising enough."

Nomiya was stunned.

"new Year's gift?"

"Well, surprise?"
