"What's the matter, Sister Yujing, are you afraid of going home and being urged to marry? Want to eat and drink at my house during the Chinese New Year? ”

Gu Xue trotted to Yujing Yao, who summoned her, and then made a joke.

During the Chinese New Year, it was really tried and tested to deal with her with this trick.

Thinking about the unmarried school-age girls around Gu Xue, there are really a lot of them, Miyamoto Megumi, Yujing Yao, Gu Rou, Mihara Qiansha...... Among them, Megumi Miyamoto is not only of the right age, but has exceeded ...... However, she herself is very calm, and it is useless for Gu Xue to squeeze her. As for the latter two, Gu Xue didn't dare to mess around, so she could only squeeze Yujing Yao.

"Go, go!"

Yujing Yao looked loveless, and was offended, she glared at Gu Xue: "Which pot is not opened, why don't you tell your sister this?" Less! Someone is looking for you. ”

Gu Xue was a little curious: "At this time...... Who is it? ”

"Foreigners."

"Foreigners? Rina Shirakawa? Let her go and play with Sato Ei, don't bother me, every time I come over, I'm rolling around and begging for stories, and if I don't agree to her, I'll use a ponytail to whip people, this is the attitude of begging people? ”

Gu Xue rolled her eyes and turned her head to leave.

"Wait."

Yujing Yao grabbed her, "It's not Rina Shirakawa, it's a man, it seems to be called Lyons, he said he knew you." ”

“？”

Gu Xue stopped and showed an interested expression, "Where?" ”

"Conference room."

"Then go check it out." Gu Xue's interest was successfully aroused, she turned a corner and walked to the conference room.

"Long time no see, Mr. Lyons."

Gu Xue pushed open the door of the conference room and said hello.

"Happy New Year." Lyons and John saw Gu Xue coming in, stood up, and then said Happy New Year in a colloquial language full of the flavor of a large plate of chicken.

"Uh......"

It took Gu Xue more than ten seconds to figure out what the other party was talking about, and said with a little amusement: "Happy New Year, but you don't have to go out of your way to learn the flavor of the big plate of chicken...... Let's just talk about what's going on. ”

Lyons and John looked at each other.

Finally, John stood up and said, "Supervisor Gu Xue, it's like this, look at it, your giant plan, currently ...... Still short of budget? ”

"Huh......?" GU XUE LOOKED AT JOHN, WHO SHE HADN'T SEEN LAST TIME SHE VISITED PICTURE, AND PRETENDED THAT SHE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE OTHER PARTY MEANT.

"Hey......" John smiled sheepishly and told the cause and effect.

It turned out that Lyons was struggling with whether to choose Gu Xue's YUKI Studio or Narita Kei's PICTURE.

John had the bold idea to do both...... He spent two months researching the market, submitted the report, and successfully persuaded his superiors, that is, Lyons's direct leader, to get another sum of money.

He succeeded, and this time he came to scatter coins, or rather, to ask for them all.

"How's Kei Narita's plan?"

Gu Xue nodded, not reacting to John's coin scattering behavior, but asked another question that she was interested in.

"It went well! They didn't look reliable, but I watched the footage they drew and it was so cool! ”

John said with an excited look on his face, and it was too late for Lyons to stop.

Of course, Gu Xue didn't care, she nodded and said, "Is it cool?" Then you can sprinkle Lyons one more time. ”

With that, she's about to slip away.

"Huh? Gu Xue, wait, don't you think about it anymore? An extra budget will make your animations ......"

John was a little confused, quickly stood up, and called out to Gu Xue.

Gu Xue shook her ponytail and turned her head, and said, "I think it's good enough, in fact, when I saw you, I mainly wanted to ask you about the news of Narita Qi, and now I heard from you that you are very confident in Narita Qi, I am relieved, thank you." ”

Lyons: "......"

Just, just relieved?

"Gu Xue, wait, you think about it carefully, we have seen your plan, and we think it is very cool, I know that you may feel uncomfortable last time Lyons chose PICTURE, but there is a force majeure factor in it, and we had an agreement with PICTURE at the beginning...... Gu Xue, think about it from another angle, in fact, it doesn't hurt to take more money, which can make the quality of the animation better, which is a good thing for the audience, for YUKI Studio and us, it's a win-win! ”

John kept Gu Xue and said sincerely.

Gu Xue stopped and showed a contemplative expression, "Well, you're right. ”

John looked surprised.

"But...... I refuse. ”

Gu Xue said the second half of the words.

John: "......"

Lyons: "......"

"That's it, I look forward to seeing each other next time."

Gu Xue smiled, nodded at the two of them, and left the conference room.

She was really looking forward to seeing them again in the future.

After all, the next time they meet, they will come to sell copyrights.

……

This winter, it snowed.

The day after Gu Xue rejected John and Lyons.

Looking at the weather forecast, it is expected to snow throughout the Spring Festival this year.

And in fact, the weather forecast was correct.

There are still two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the 28th of the new year, the sky is still snowing like a light snow, and according to the weather forecast, the snow will fall heavier and heavier in the next two days.

On this day, Gu Xue came to the station with snowflakes and sent Mihara Qiansa.

She's going back to her hometown this year.

This was strongly requested by her parents, and Gu Xue couldn't stop it.

"Be careful all the way."

Gu Xue tightened the scarf around her neck, looked at the independent Mihara Chisa standing in the wind and snow, and whispered.

"Hmm."

Mihara Chisa nodded, but still held Gu Xue's hand, unwilling to let go.

"Peace of mind, the days will pass soon, and the patience of urging marriage or something will pass, see you in the next year."

Gu Xue comforted.

"Hmm."

Mihara Chisa replied again.

But he still held Gu Xue's hand and rubbed it gently.

Gu Xue glared at her: "I'm hinting!" Hint! You let me go, your hands are so cold......"

Mihara Qiansa looked very reluctant to let go of Gu Xue's hand.

Gu Xue hurriedly retracted her hand and put it in her jacket pocket, and then, she looked at Chisa Mihara, who was suffering from gains and losses, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Her smile is contagious.

It's too lethal for some.

Chisa Mihara took a deep breath, summoned up great courage, and suddenly took a step forward.

Probably because she was going to leave temporarily, she was a lot bolder.

And Gu Xue looked at Mihara Chisa who came over, thought about it, and didn't hide......

"Hmm......"

The next second.

Gu Xue let out a short mumping sound, and then rolled her eyes at Mihara Chisa, who was close to him.

Luckily, her lips weren't as cold as her hands...... It's soft.

Not for a while.

Mihara Qiansa took a step back and let go of Gu Xue, after all, now at the station, in fact, it had already attracted a lot of attention just now.

Mihara Chisa's face was very red, but she pretended to be calm: "Just ...... YOU HAVE SNOW ON YOUR LIPS (YUKI). ”

“…… There was ice slag that melted. ”

Gu Xue pursed her lips, and she was a little confused, she walked around behind Mihara Chisa and pushed her towards the station, "Go, go!" It's almost late, let's go. ”

Pushed Chisa Mihara all the way to the station.

The two said Happy New Year to each other and finally parted.

After Gu Xue watched the hesitant Mihara Chisa leave.

Turned and walked out of the station.

Outside.

Snow, it's falling harder.

Gu Xue stood at the entrance of the station, looked up at the falling snowflakes, subconsciously stretched out her hand, lightly touched her lips, and then sighed hot.

The water vapor liquefied, turned into a white mist, and gradually dissipated in mid-air.

……

On Chinese New Year's Eve.

It was snowing heavily.

Although there was heating in the house, when Gu Rou got up, she obviously felt that the temperature had dropped again, she lifted the quilt, and as soon as she came into contact with the cold air outside the quilt, she couldn't help but shiver.

She didn't rush out of bed, sat on the edge of the bed, crossed her arms, and when she woke up completely, she turned her head to look at Gu Xue's sleeping face, smiled, and then walked out of bed barefoot, came to the window, and slammed the curtain open.

The room suddenly brightened.

Outside, it was covered in snow.

Although the inside of the house is not warm, and even a little cold, there is always an inexplicable sense of warmth and security when looking at the snow outside through the glass.

Gu Rou was suddenly in a good mood, turned her head back to the bedside, and called Gu Xue a few times.

Gu Xue didn't react.

Gu Rou repeated her old tricks and directly carried her out of the bed.

"Cold, cold, cold...... Sister, what are you doing? ”

Gu Xue leaned on Gu Rou, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she woke up in an instant.

"Spend a while with my sister."

Gu Rou dragged the quilt over and covered the two of them.

Gu Xue: "......"

A few minutes later.

The two sisters snuggled up to each other in front of the window with the quilt on their heads, looking at the courtyard downstairs and the flying snowflakes, and whispering sisterly words.

Just like when I was a kid.

The main reason is that Gu Rou said that Gu Xue hadn't woken up yet, her spirit was not good, she was lying on the former, and she looked drowsy.

"What do you want to eat in a minute?"

"Barbecue."

"Is it cold or not?"

"Okay."

"I'm a year older."

“...... I don't know what to say. ”

"What are you afraid of, you said that my sister won't be angry, anyway, I'm only older than you."

“…… I suspect you're hinting at something, Gu Rou, stupid Oune-chan. ”

"You're still leaning on me, facts speak louder than words."

"You, I've fought with you...... Ah. What kind of torn pajamas did you buy, the shoulder straps are old and so thin, the floor is so cold, get up quickly, you are so heavy, I admit defeat......"

"A touch of more."

"What are you doing, if you don't get angry about your age, if you say you are angry about your weight......"

"Happy New Year."

“…… Happy New Year. ”
