After taking the last bite of pizza, Naruse looked down at his fingers and handed a tissue next to him.
"The taste is okay, but it's a little cold, which affects the taste." He took the paper towel and wiped it, and said to Shangzi.
She nodded and stared at the corner of his mouth, "It's stained with cheese."
"Well..." Naruse wiped it again.
"Haixing said the grilled chicken legs over there are also good." Takigawa Yue said, "It doesn't feel greasy either."
"Really?"
When the initial novelty wore off, the main content of the party was just eating and drinking. Several people walked around the edge of the venue and ate, having already tasted a lot of things.
"That over there is...egg tart!"
Haixing immediately squeezed over, and after a while he came back with a few egg tarts and distributed them to several people.
"Give."
"Thank you." Morimi smiled at her, took the egg tart and took a bite.
"Well..."
She felt it, "The texture and taste are a bit similar to the egg tarts in the shop downstairs of the school."
"Ah, really, you can't taste this kind of taste anywhere else." Takigawa Yue on the side also agreed with her opinion.
"That's the one." Naruse said, "I've seen the student union's food supplier before."
"Sure enough." Morimi nodded and continued eating the remaining egg tarts.
"Is Kazuyo going over today?" Takigawa Yue asked.
She shook her head, "This semester's courses are over. I haven't signed up for the winter vacation classes yet."
"Well, it's good to rest for a while."
Mori smiled bitterly after hearing this, and looked at Naruse again.
He and Shangzi got together and were chatting about egg tarts.
"Let's talk about it later."
After eating, drinking, and strolling around, the afternoon slowly passed, and more and more lights in the gymnasium came on.
When passing by one of the exits, Naruse went out and took a look. Dark clouds covered the sun, and the outside had fallen into actual darkness.
"It's going to snow." Hikaru Takigawa came out of nowhere, put his arm on his shoulder, and looked at the sky.
Naruse glanced at her, "Where have you been?"
"Just outside."
"Outside?"
She pointed to one side, then curled her finger and said, "Behind."
"Behind the gymnasium..." Naruse was startled, "Another confession?"
"Well, it's a girl today."
She smiled, "But no one can tell Chunhai."
"I didn't plan to ask...you are really busy."
Hikari Takigawa just smiled.
After returning to the venue and wandering around for a while, Yue Takikawa said that she had to go to a private school.
The remaining people had no intention of staying until the party was over and left the gym.
The bus back would not arrive for nearly half an hour, and together they took Takigawa Yue to a private school near the central station.
Although there are not many shops still open at this time, there are still some shops near the station that have decorated their shops in a Christmas style.
"Did you see it, Harumi, this is Christmas in the countryside." Hikaru Takigawa said.
"Even if it's Christmas tomorrow, nothing will change." Haixing added.
Shangzi nodded aside: "Almost the entire Northeast is like this."
"I know...I'm not a foreigner." Naruse couldn't help but shake his head, "Probably only the Sendai side will be more lively."
Morimi looked at the deserted streets in front of him: "But it's only around Sendai Station."
In order to live up to the specially decorated shops, a few people browsed for a while - mainly because the bus didn't come.
After the time was almost up, a few people rushed to the bus stop.
"Come to my house later."
Arriving at the platform, Naruse suddenly remembered that there was one more important thing he hadn't said, "My mother has prepared a Christmas gift for you."
Haixing and Naoko already knew about it and were not surprised, but Morimi and Hikaru Takigawa had just heard about it and asked a few more questions.
"I don't know what it is, it's all packaged." When asked, Naruse could only shake his head.
"Really? I'm really looking forward to it."
Takigawa Hikaru thought for a moment and then asked: "Is there also a month?"
"Yeah. Just take it back later for Sister Yue."
"That's great." She smiled even happier, "Yue will definitely be very happy to receive Miss Song's Christmas gift."
Wait for a moment, the bus comes.
Halfway through the journey, Naruse noticed snow starting to fall outside the window.
When we got off the bus, there was already snow and wind blowing in our face, blocking our view.
Several people hurried to Naruse's house, brushed the snowflakes off each other's heads and bodies, and hid in the house.
"The wind and snow are so strong, please sit at my house for a while."
Naruse put down his schoolbag and then went to the study to move out all the packed Christmas gifts.
The gift boxes are all about the same size, and Song Qianqiu also put his name on the outside.
"This is light, this is Sister Yue's."
Naruse distributed the gifts one by one, "Haixing's, Naoko's."
Several people took the gifts, and Naruse put down his share. The gift box underneath was labeled "For Kazuha".
"This is yours."
"Thank you."
Morimi took the gift box and glanced at Hikaru Takigawa, and she said, "Can you open it now?"
"Of course."
After Naruse distributed the gifts, he sat down, picked up the gift box with [For Harumi~] on it, and untied the ribbon.
After unpacking the layers, I finally opened the box and found a dark blue wallet inside.
He pouted, picked it up and looked at it a few times.
"Is the gift Auntie gave Chunhai a wallet?" Shangzi looked at him, his own gift was only half opened.
"Yeah." Naruse opened it and looked at it, stroking the leather of the wallet with his fingers, "It feels okay."
Morimi, who was sitting across from him, continued to open gifts and looked at him again.
While he was saying it was okay, he had already taken out the black wallet he was using before and was taking out money and cards.
Don’t you love it when you put it on as soon as you get it?
"Ah, this is what you gave me." Hikaru Takigawa smiled and picked up the gift he received.
"It's actually sunglasses..." Naruse couldn't help but think about Matsu Chiaki's criteria for choosing gifts.
"Isn't it pretty good? I quite like it." Hikaru Takigawa put on his sunglasses and smiled at the people around him.
"How is it~"
"Very handsome." Morimi said.
Starfish also nodded repeatedly.
Naoko smiled and said, "It suits Hikaru very well."
"Yeah." Hikaru Takigawa liked the Christmas gift Matsu Chiaki sent very much, so he got up and went to the bathroom to look in the mirror.
The gift that Haixing received was a set of hair care products, "Ah, this hair conditioner is very expensive..."
"It seems that she also likes your yellow...blonde hair."
"Yeah."
When Shangzi opened the light gift box, there seemed to be nothing inside.
"..."
She was stunned for a moment, then turned the gift box upside down, and a note fell out.
[Lift the cover in the corner of the study~]
She took the note to look for it, and Naruse followed her, lifting up the cover that had appeared in the corner of the study at some point. Underneath was a brand new sewing machine.
Shangzi took a closer look and said, "The one I use is the same brand. This is the latest model..."
"I have no idea when it was put in." Naruse had no impression.
"Me too."
In the living room outside, Morimi also opened his gift box.
"Kindle..."
Lying inside is an e-reader.
She picked it up and looked at it, and Takigawa returned to the living room after shining the mirror.
