Is it a problem to have a harem in a stranger heroine?

Bingtang trusted his sixth sense and drew a piece of paper.

"Look...it will be beneficial!"

"You picked me so early?" Xiaohui picked up the gift from under the table, "Merry Christmas, Michiru."

"Thank you. Wait a minute..."

Bingtang moved closer, as if he wanted to tear the gift box apart.

"Question, is the stuff inside useful to me?"

"It's not useful, but easy to use..." Xiaohui pondered for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer, "If Michiru can use it, then it's easy to use."

"It's the same as not saying anything." Ying Lili supported her cheeks.

Bingtang took the gift box and shook it in his hand. It felt a bit heavy. He opened it and found a pair of gloves inside.

A pair of heat-insulating gloves to be exact.

"No wonder they say it's useful whenever you want. It can be used in cooking or anywhere else. Uh... will it keep you warm if you wear it outside in this weather?" Bingtang couldn't help laughing.

She is the one who cooks the least in Bai Ye's house. Except on some special holidays, she mostly plays the guitar as BGM.

Bingtang also put the gift on the table and looked at Xiaohui.

Xiaohui took out the note and raised her eyebrows.

"Mine is Akane-senpai."

"Are you surprised to see it's mine?"

"Kind of."

Zhu Yin didn't ask the reason, knowing it was related to her identity.

Xiaohui took it and found that it was also light. She opened it and saw a card inside.

The others were sitting far away and didn't see the words on the card. They said in a shocked tone:

"Because I don't know what to give, should I give a credit card?!"

"That's too cliché..." Zhu Yin held her forehead and revealed the answer, "This is an annual pass for the hotel my family owns a stake in. With this pass, you can get free lunch and dinner every day, and you can also bring one extra person."

"This kind of card usually requires real-name registration, right?" Xiaohui asked.

"Yes, it's under my name now. If you want to use it, I can take you to change your name."

Xiaohui: “…”

She cooks at home most of the time, and eats out mostly with everyone.

However, she was the only one who was speechless. Eriri had already come close to her, her eyes shining like a puppy smelling a bone.

"Mei, can you exchange gifts with me later?"

"Well...if the gift makes me happy, I don't mind it too much."

Xiaohui also placed the gift on the table and turned to look at Zhuyin.

Zhu Yin pulled out a piece of paper with Chu Hai's name written on it.

"The next lucky guy... I'm halfway through, and I don't know if I should call him lucky. Anyway, I'm going to sea. Thank you~"

"Seeing Akane-senpai's gift, I suddenly felt a little insecure."

"Heartfelt, heartfelt."

The gift for going out to sea was neither light nor heavy in her hand. The box was square and neat. When she opened it, Zhu Yin nodded repeatedly.

"It's really thoughtful of you to give me a scarf for Christmas. It warms my body and my heart."

The gift for going to sea was a dark blue scarf, and from the stitches you could tell it was definitely hand-knitted by her.

"I usually wear dark-colored clothes like black and dark red, so a dark blue scarf would be suitable too."

Although she said it was suitable, Zhu Yin did not put it on. Instead, she put the gift on the table like everyone else.

The only gifts left on the field were from Shiyu, Sayuri, and Eriri.

“Why isn’t it my turn yet…” Ying Lili was a little depressed.

But that was the rule, and she had no choice but to stretch her neck and look forward to it.

Chu Hai listened to her words and smiled knowingly when he saw the name written on the tissue paper.

"Mine is Eriri..."

"Is it finally my turn?!" Eriri's eyes lit up.

"My mother's."

Yinglili "..."

The little golden retriever turned into a golden salted fish on the spot, feeling hopeless.

Sayuri smiled and took out a gift, not forgetting to give her blessings before leaving.

"Go to sea, Merry Christmas. As for growing up quickly, I'll leave it to Xiao Jun to tell you~"

"Thank you, Auntie. The second half of the sentence is unnecessary."

Sayuri's gift box was the biggest of all. It felt light but not heavy when she picked it up. She opened it and took out a pillow.

"Is this a pillow? No...it looks like a cushion."

"It's a pillow. People tend to bend over when they sit on a chair, so having a pillow makes it much more comfortable and doesn't cause back pain so easily."

"Auntie always cares about our health. It's Auntie's turn now."

Sayuri looked at the only two notes left in Bai Ye's hand and thought of something interesting.

"If I draw Shiyu's gift, then it seems that Eriri can only draw herself?"

"It's not like that, it's just like that." Bai Ye looked happy.

He thought that there was a possibility that he would "slap himself", but when it really happened, and the target was Eriri, he couldn't help but want to cause trouble.

"Sayuri, do you want me to hint which one is Shiyu's?"

Eriri wanted to bite him to death, and came up to him, grimacing and threatening:

"Take mine out! I don't want to beat myself up!"

"Do you want Shiyu's gift so much?" Bai Ye smiled playfully.

Ying Lili suddenly felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly. Either choice made her uncomfortable.

"What the hell is this interest rate? I want to withdraw again!"

"Is it possible that you only said this at the end?"

Everyone was looking at Sayuri to see who she would pick, and Shiyu had even thought of what she would say to tease Eriri later.

Sayuri took out the note, then avoided Eriri's laziness and put the note in her arms to read it secretly.

"Let me see whose it is~"

Chapter 1058 An 8-pound Christmas gift

Sayuri saw the name on the signature paper and looked at Eriri with eyes full of regret.

"Neither option is good for Eriri. I don't know what expression to make. How about Eriri teach me?"

"Mom, can you please stop playing tricks and give me a quick death?" Ying Lili glanced sideways.

"So……"

As if she was worried that she had read the name wrong, Sayuri secretly glanced at the signature paper again, then looked up and smiled gently.

"Shiyu, thank you."

Ying Lili's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"This Christmas is so unlucky..."

"It was quite memorable for us, but unfortunately I forgot to turn on the camera, otherwise..."

Upon hearing this, Ying Lili immediately sat up and straightened her posture. She didn't want to be laughed at by everyone watching the video on this time next year.

Shiyu took out a gift from her arms and handed it to Sayuri respectfully.

"Auntie, thank you for your care all the time."

"You're welcome. I've also gained a lot of happiness from taking care of everyone."

Sayuri opened the gift box and took out a pair of glasses.

"Glasses?"

Eriri saw the opportunity to retort and immediately rolled up her sleeves.

"What? Mom isn't nearsighted. What gift did you pick out? Besides, no one here wants to wear glasses."

"You are not a human? Oh - it turns out you are a puppy." Shiyu glanced sideways.

Yinglili "..."

The only one in the Byakuya family who is nearsighted is Eriri, but it is not noticeable because she usually wears contact lenses.

"You think I wouldn't guess it? This is a pair of plain glasses."

"What's the use?" Eriri put her hands on her hips.

"It looks nice when worn."

As soon as the words fell, the girls' faces showed speechlessness at the same time.

They are not blind. The style of this pair of glasses is obviously neutral and masculine. I imagine it would be very out of place when Sayuri wears them.

"Mom, can you use it?" Eriri continued to find reasons to ridicule Shiyu.

"What matters is the thought." Sayuri said and suddenly smiled.

She was not making fun of Shiyu's gift, but everyone's gifts had something in common, she just didn't know if others had noticed it.

"Eri, where's your gift? Is it what mom was thinking of?"

At this point, Eriri simply gave up and said without any emotion:

"It's what you were thinking of, mom... Never mind! I'll give it to myself."

After saying that, she picked up a box and placed it on the table. It was only slightly smaller than Sayuri's, but the heaviest in the room.

"What's in it?" Shiyu asked curiously.

"It's none of your business. You won't get any share anyway, hum——!"

Eriri tore the gift box open with her claws, revealing the contents, which made everyone exclaim "Wow~" for a moment.

A transparent plastic jar was filled with cookies, weighing a full 8 kilograms.

"Eri, you baked these cookies?" Chu Hai asked in surprise.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Alone?" Xiaohui asked.

"Uh… Mom helped a little."

"Just helped a little?" Bai Ye came behind her.

Ying Lili suddenly turned around and hit Bai Ye's stomach with her head. The former held his head and felt dizzy, and the latter almost vomited his dinner. Both of them were injured.

Sayuri helped the two of them up.

"Xiao Jun, this jar of cookies was indeed mostly made by Ying Lili. She worked in two ovens for a whole day and night. I was just helping her with the proportions of the ingredients."

Bai Ye looked apologetic, walked up to Ying Lili and hugged her without saying a word, then gently rubbed her head.

"Did it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, Ni Zou Kai!"

After Bai Ye sat down, he held her on his lap. Noticing that Ying Lili's expression had eased, he quietly placed her hands on her lower abdomen and hugged her tightly, even holding her little feet in place.

"Why are you still standing there? Start eating!"

Everyone woke up as if from a dream, opened the jar, picked up the biscuits and stuffed them into their mouths. While chewing, they gave Ying Lili a thumbs up, indicating that they tasted great.
