Chapter 5: A Gift for Miki
"Whew...... Ahh
Lin Xiuyi picked up a pair of chopsticks and sucked it happily. Soon the table also resounded with the sound of eating ramen one after another.
A bowl of hot ramen is not a delicacy, but it is a great choice for a morning on the slopes. So when Lin Xiuyi proposed that everyone go to the rest area to eat a bowl of steaming ramen together, he quickly won everyone's unanimous support.
Sitting in the warm lounge, eating ramen while admiring the snow-capped scenery outside, a sense of relaxation almost swept away the fatigue of the whole year. Even the hearts that have been corroded by contact with all kinds of sins in the world have begun to be healed by this wonderful holiday.
"Afternoon...... How about we split up. Is there anyone willing to visit the neighborhood?"
"That...... I'd like to go to Baisi Falls, I've been there in the summer before, and I've always wondered what it's like in the winter. ”
"White Silk Falls, I've heard people talk about it a lot......"
"How about it, why don't you go and see it together?"
"Uh...... Then don't do it!"
Urashima saw that Reina also mentioned the White Silk Waterfall, and thought she would be interested, but who knew that Reina actually refused in one bite, which made Urashima feel very shocked, so he turned his head to look at Miki who was sitting next to him!
"Miki senior, do you want to ......?"
"Don't!"
"That's a pity!"
When Urashima was about to send an invitation to Miki, before the words were finished, Miki refused Urashima without hesitation and gave Urashima a second blow in a row.
"The police department?"
"Urashima-kun, two big men go to see the White Silk Waterfall, I feel a little weird, I'm really sorry, if I'm going to have a drink, I'm very willing to accompany you......"
……
Urashima, who had endured three rejections, lowered his head in some disappointment, and then sighed softly!
"Hoo ......"
"That...... Otherwise, I'll go with you!"
"Uh...... Really, would you really like to accompany me to see White Silk Falls?"
"Hmm...... Originally, I was going to play games in my room, but since there was no one to accompany you, I would go with you, anyway, it was just a different place to play games......"
Just when Urashima was already in a desperate situation, Miki's younger brother Fumiki suddenly agreed to go to see the White Silk Waterfall with Urashima. Although the other party's original intention was just to play the game quietly, Urashima still felt inexplicably moved.
"What are your plans for the afternoon?"
Seeing that Urashima was the first to talk about the afternoon's destination, Miki took over the topic and pretended to ask Lin Xiuyi casually.
"It's my first time in Karuizawa, but I don't think there's anything I particularly want to go! By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, I've booked a Western-style dinner at the hotel in the evening, so you must remember to come back early, don't miss it!"
After everyone sat in the leisure area of the ski resort and discussed the afternoon itinerary, because Miki also didn't want to go anywhere, so at the invitation of Lin Shuichi, Lin Shuichi, Reina and Miki decided to go to the nearby boutique stores and places of interest in the surrounding area in the afternoon. ”
Directly across from the hotel is the famous outlet, but for civil servants like Shuichi Hayashi and Miki, there is not much chance that the boutique outlets are full of fashion, watches, and jewelry. As for Reina's side, although her acting career is not particularly successful, in addition to school uniforms on weekdays, other clothing is basically provided by the office, so Lin Xiuyi and the three of them feel that they are not interested in the boutique clothing and jewelry stores that tourists flock to.
"Ah...... There seems to be a shop selling hot spring souvenirs over there, so why don't we check it out?"
"I don't know if there is any hot spring powder for sale, but if there is, take it home and sprinkle some when you take a bath, and you can experience the fun of soaking in the hot spring at home!"
Lin Xiuyi wanted to go in with the two of them, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a rather luxurious stationery store next to him, so he turned around and walked over there.
"Ernie sauce, where are you going!"
"That...... You go here first, I'd like to go over there and buy some handbooks! Wait a minute, if you come out first, just go to me!"
Lin Xiu responded to Ling Nai, and then strode towards the other side of the road. And Miki saw Lin Xiuyi's sudden departure, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. However, she didn't show it on her face, and she didn't leave Ling Nai and chase in the direction where Lin Xiuyi left.
"Well, maybe that's the fate between me and the police department!"
Miki secretly sighed in her heart.
……
Twenty minutes later, when Reina and Miki left the shop with the hot spring powder and hot spring steamed buns they bought, they suddenly saw Lin Xiu waiting there early in the morning as soon as they went out.
"Ernie sauce, how long have you been waiting here, why don't you come in and find us!"
Lin Xiuyi didn't take the initiative to answer Reina's question, but instead suddenly walked towards Miki, and then handed the small box he was carrying to the other party.
"Eh, police department, you're ......."
"New Year's gift! I wish you all the best in the new year!"
"But...... I haven't given you a New Year's gift yet...... That's rude!"
"It's okay, open it up and take a look, I specially asked the clerk of the stationery store if there is a handbook suitable for young office women, and the other party recommended a few to me, and I chose one of them that I thought was the best-looking. However, I haven't asked you what you mean, I really don't know if you will like it?"
Lin Xiuyi handed over the gift box in his hand to Miki with some embarrassment, and with the encouragement of Lin Xiuyi and Reina, Miki carefully opened the gift box handed over by Lin Xiuyi, and then a set of work handbooks that looked quite luxurious were quietly placed in the box.
The brown leather surface is quite soft to the touch, and when you open the journal, the paper inside even has a hint of the fragrance of trees. Although it doesn't seem complicated, Miki's heart is very clear. For someone like her, who often asks about the case like a suspect, a handbook or something is actually the most practical gift!
