Christmas extra, short kindergarten and long middle school chapters.
Rice flower nursery.
Noriko Amamiya stood at the door waiting for someone to pick her up, holding a marshmallow in the shape of Santa Claus in her hand.
A certain child gave it to her with great heart, so she accepted it without any ceremony.
By the way, I wish each other a Merry Christmas.
"Merry Christmas Noriko! See you next week~"
Fei Yingli came to take Mao Lilan home, and when she passed by, Mao Lilan waved to her happily.
Amamiya Noriko waved her hands and looked at the others. They were all jumping up and down. Children, they are so happy after a festival.
"Noriko! I'm here to pick you up!"
Noriko Amamiya turned her head and looked at her mother Emi Amamiya, who was happier than her kindergarten classmate Maori Ran, "What are you doing?"
Just as she was about to lift her legs and walk over, her feet were already off the ground and she was picked up.
"I can walk by myself."
Amamiya Emi shook her head: "It has nothing to do with this. Mom is afraid that you will grow up one day, so I have to give you more hugs while you are still able to hug me."
What a vicious idea, you don’t want me to grow up, right?
Noriko Amamiya glanced at the envious look of a little girl next to her and couldn't understand.
Amamiya Emi looked down at her daughter in her arms, and couldn't help but murmured: "If you are so shy at the age of three, what will you do if you become as beautiful as your mother in the future?"
“…”
Amamiya Noriko hummed slightly, in terms of confidence in beauty, she was indeed her own mother.
"I heard that there is a super big Christmas tree at Aipido Mall, and Santa Claus delivers gifts. Mom took Noriko to have a look, and then we went to eat the Christmas party bucket and Christmas cake that we had already reserved..."
Amamiya Emi described her long-arranged plan to her daughter.
After hearing this, Amamiya Noriko was a little confused: "Where is dad?"
Amamiya Emi didn't think carefully: "Dad, does he have to work overtime?"
Noriko Amamiya thinks that no one is still working overtime on Christmas, right?
And you still have a wife and daughter, right?
It's too awful.
As the boss, Rikuto Amamiya certainly doesn't have to work overtime.
It's just that my wife forgot about it.
So when he got the news and hurried over by himself, he saw his wife who was happily and happily eating cake with her daughter. He could only maintain his usual calmness on his face, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart——
It looks like this is my wife, and it is indeed my wife, but...
"Ah? Lu Dou, you're here too, let's go together."
Amamiya Emi bit her spoon and blinked, suddenly realizing that her husband was in front of her. After a moment of panic, she quickly greeted her husband with an overflowing smile and diligently patted the seat next to her with her small hands.
Noriko Amamiya, who was sitting in a child's seat, was eating her cake calmly.
To be honest, looking at my mother's panicked expression, I felt as if I had cheated on my father and had a private meeting with my mother outside.
Christmas is outrageous.
After all, Christmas was spent warmly as a family.
Middle school chapter.
December 24th.
Didan Middle School.
Shoe cabinet.
After Mao Lilan finished changing her shoes and closed the door of her shoe cabinet, she saw Noriko next to her putting a small note on the shoe cabinet.
She couldn't help but curiously leaned over to take a look: "What is Noriko doing?"
Amamiya Noriko felt embarrassed and stepped aside to let Xiaolan see what she had written on the post-it note.
[Please don’t put apples in the shoe cabinet, thank you very much.]
"It is indeed necessary."
Mao Lilan nodded with deep understanding.
She remembered Noriko's expression when she found an apple in the shoe cabinet while changing her shoes when she was in elementary school.
"Hahaha, Noriko, you don't know how many gifts you will receive today."
"So I prepared a bag to put it in."
She prepared a large canvas bag in her schoolbag. As long as she didn't stuff the apple into her shoe cabinet, she could say anything.
To be honest, if this bag is full, I will transform into Santa Claus.
"But it's not Christmas yet. Maybe there won't be that many gifts."
Noriko Amamiya smiled, closed the shoe cabinet and patted the sticky note. She had to keep this sticky note until tomorrow.
The two of them finished changing their indoor shoes and walked upstairs.
"Waiting a minute Sonoko will definitely be curious about Noriko whether you have a date on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day."
Amamiya Noriko also felt that Sonoko would pester her and gossip, "But I don't have a boyfriend."
Mao Lilan felt that Noriko might not have kept up with Yuanzi's brain circuit, so she laughed and said: "So, maybe Yuanzi will make a reservation."
"Is this, like this?"
Amamiya Noriko murmured in her heart.
If Yuanzi insists on playing with me...
Then I can only take Yuanzi to politely refuse your confession.
Later, Suzuki Sonoko walked into the teaching building to change her shoes. When she looked up, she noticed the note on Noriko's shoe cabinet with sharp eyes.
"Let me see who put the note on Noriko's shoe cabinet."
Out of curiosity, she went over and took a look, and found that it was Noriko's own handwriting, and she understood the meaning at a glance.
"Ha, Noriko's extravagant troubles."
Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin and felt that just one line of text was too monotonous. She took out a pen from her school bag and drew a Christmas tree green on the post-it note.
"This has a Christmas atmosphere."
She admired it with satisfaction and went up to tell Noriko about the surprise she had given her.
Kudo Shinichi yawned as he walked into the teaching building. As he passed by, he glanced at what Suzuki Sonoko was drawing.
“Can this also be a Christmas tree??”
He looked at it for a long time with the corner of his mouth twitching, then raised his hand and drew a yellow five-pointed star on the green that looked like a Christmas tree.
"No one really puts apples in the shoe cabinet, right? No way..."
Kudo Shinichi pondered, in previous Christmases Amamiya Noriko would occasionally change her usual attitude, become a lot gentler, and then give herself an apple...
As the saying goes, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster. He felt that he could make a bold guess——
It's so funny that he doesn't want to know the truth at all.
Kudo Shinichi strode away in a free and easy manner.
In the afternoon, after school.
Xiaolan and Sonoko both went to club activities first, and Amamiya Noriko decided not to work on the committee alone today.
I opened the shoe cabinet and saw that there were no apples, which was good.
"Um?!"
She tilted her head and looked at the post-it note on her shoe cabinet door. It was full of drawings. Except for her line of words, the Christmas tree was covered with ornaments. Gift boxes were piled under the Christmas tree. Santa Claus, elk, etc. were all drawn.
"Is this the school confession wall?"
Noriko Amamiya opened her eyes wide and looked at the note full of Christmas spirit. There were also pink hearts on it, I love you, Noriko Noriko, stickers, prprpr and other elements.
These guys started to let themselves go anonymously, right?
"Small piece of paper, full of elements."
She looked at it for a long time, but still didn't tear it off, so she just kept it. It was already full and there was nothing more to draw, right?
"looking at what?"
Kudo Shinichi, who was passing by with his schoolbag, said.
Noriko Amamiya glanced sideways at him, "Look at the wonderful paintings you left behind."
Kudo Shinichi said modestly: "I just drew a five-pointed star on the Christmas tree..."
As he looked at it, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why was the content on the note so rich, especially some of them? Damn it, I can't take the blame for this.
He repeated in a solemn tone: "I just drew a five-pointed star."
"I see, the ugliest thing is your five-pointed star."
“Suzuki Sonoko’s Christmas tree is even uglier!”
"Yuanzi's painting is abstract, you don't understand."
“…”
Kudo Shinichi twitched his lips, that was quite abstract.
He casually glanced at the gifts in her bag and couldn't help but wonder: "Anyone else gave you a Christmas hat?"
"It was given by a senior from the drama club. It seems like he made it by stepping on a sewing machine. What do you think?"
Noriko Amamiya put it on and tried it on.
I found that it seemed a bit big, so I had to hold the brim of the hat slightly with both hands, otherwise it would slip down and cover my eyes.
"Damn it, does he think I have a big head? I'll have to reject his confession ruthlessly next time."
Kudo Shinichi's head was full of black lines. Putting aside the words she was mumbling, he looked at Amamiya Noriko's dissatisfied and angry look. He thought that guy might have done it on purpose, right?
It's just a pity that he didn't see Noriko Amamiya wearing it.
"Dong..."
Amamiya Noriko and Kudo Shinichi tilted their heads, as if a classmate accidentally hit a pillar and staggered away.
Kudo Shinichi's mouth twitched: "Is he okay?"
"Maybe he just has a stubborn head?"
Noriko Amamiya ignored him, took off her hat, put it away, and stopped wearing it. If it was made so big for herself, she would wait until her head was that big before wearing it again.
Kudo Shinichi asked curiously, "Do you have any plans for Christmas Eve?"
I feel like this person must have lived a very rich life.
"No, I'm eating and sleeping at home. I might be dragged out to play by Yuanzi."
"Um?"
Kudo Shinichi was shocked beyond belief.
"On days when everyone goes out to have fun, it is quite troublesome for me to be seen with anyone. Rumors of misunderstanding will only spread bigger and bigger, so this year I decided to give myself a holiday."
Kudo nodded: "I see, you can't give up more people just because you refuse the pleasure of one or two people, right? Indeed, a small loss outweighs the big gain."
"If you know, say less."
Noriko Amamiya pursed her lips and said with a smile.
"Otherwise, I'll call Xiaolan to live with me at my house, and you won't be able to see Xiaolan for the next two days."
"…cut."
Amamiya Noriko originally only agreed to this temporarily, but unexpectedly Sonoko quickly contacted the information channel and immediately agreed to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with her.
Anyway, Noriko, you don’t have any plans!
As a result, nothing was accomplished on Christmas Eve, so Jie and Sonoko went out to play. They went to see the big Christmas tree in the square outside Abedo Mall, ate limited-edition Christmas cakes, and walked around the pedestrian street full of Christmas atmosphere for several hours.
She was exhausted until she came back in the early morning, and she and Sonoko were taking a bath in the bathtub while watching Okino Yoko's TV series.
Then they went to bed together and slept most of the next day on Christmas Day.
"So satisfying! I felt like I was spending Christmas with my boyfriend last night!"
After getting enough sleep, Yuanzi felt full of energy and still had lots of ideas.
This misunderstanding was simply because Amamiya Noriko took good care of her when they went out to play, hoping that she would go back to bed after breakfast and play enough.
It is very tiring to take care of a garden that is so careless and careless.
So Noriko Amamiya said helplessly: "Ah, yes, yes, maybe I also have high masculinity."
"It's possible. If Noriko doesn't have a boyfriend next Christmas, I'll make a reservation first!"
Then I won't take it directly for you.
Amamiya Noriko raised her forehead and decided to call Xiaolan together next time. Xiaolan would still be able to take care of people.
I never imagined that it would be Christmas for a gardener, Santa Claus.
