Familiar dry mornings.

The sky was clear and cloudless, and the windows vibrated regularly with gusts of cold wind. Staying in a warm room will only make you want to squint a little longer.

"Brother, it's time to get up, today is the New Year, and there are a lot of things to do~"

As soon as it was early, Hachiman heard the voice of Komachi ringing in his ears.

"It's a holiday day, why do I have to get up so early?"

Hachiman couldn't help but complain while standing in front of the mirror to wash.

"Brother, don't complain, I'm very busy today, I have to cheer up~"

Komachi came out of nowhere and fell to Hachiman.

"Yes ~ Yes yes ~ Got it ~ "

Hachiman replied nonchalantly.

"By the way, what are you holding in your hand?"

Suddenly, Hachiman saw a red thing in Komachi's hand and couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, this is an ornament, I heard that it was going to be pasted on the door, and Dad told me to take it~"

Komachi raised the things in his hand and said to Hachiman excitedly.

"Understood, understood, you can quickly bring it to Dad~"

Hachiman is really not very good at dealing with Komachi's excitement, and besides, does it take to be so excited early in the morning for the New Year! Hachiman can't understand this, although it's really a good thing that you can have a holiday on New Year~

But looking back, Hachiman feels that there is still a unique place today~

"Komachi, help Dad get some duct tape~"

"Yes~"

“……”

"Breakfast is ready, come and eat~"

"Okay, right away~"

Today, it is rare for all the members of the Qigu family to be there, and the parents who work outside all the year round have also come back once because of the New Year, and the table of the Yawata family is rarely full~

"That's right, Hachiman, wait for the ingredients and fruits to come back, there are not enough at home~"

After Hachiman ate a few bites of bread, his mother said to Hachiman as if she had suddenly thought of something.

"Okay, no problem~"

Hachiman said yes while spreading jam on the bread.

"Yes, yes, I want to go too, I'll go with my brother~"

Seeing this, Komachi also stood up and said loudly.

"Komachi should stay at home, it's cold outside, Komachi just needs to help dad decorate the house~"

Before Hachiman could say anything, his father was the first to stand up and object.

Although he already had a bottom in his heart, Hachiman still felt unbalanced, "Anyway, you don't worry about your son being cold, aren't you, you are too doting on Komachi!" ”

"It's okay, Dad, Komachi can wear a few more clothes~"

However, Komachi's psychology is different from Hachiman's, and she tries to convince her father to want to go out.

"Honey, let's let Komachi go with Hachiman, and the two of them won't be alone~"

At this time, the mother also opened her mouth to persuade.

“... Alas, well, Komachi you have to pay careful attention! ”

"Also, Hachiman, you have to protect your sister, and if you come back and let me find out that Komachi is a little damaged, you will play..."

Hearing this, Hachiman felt speechless for a while

"We're just going to buy something, and we're not going to war, so what's the danger!"

But because of the majesty of his parents, Hachiman could only complain a few words in his heart, and he still had to agree "obediently" on the surface.

………

"Brother, look, the snow has already piled up a little~"

As soon as he went out, Komachi shouted excitedly in Hachiman's ear.

"Isn't this normal, Chiba used to be like this, there's nothing strange about this bit of snow!"

Hachiman looked at the snow that had only been piled up in a thin layer and said indifferently.

"Mo, brother is really boring~"

Komachi puffed out his mouth, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his brother's bland appearance.

"Okay, let's go out to buy something, let's hurry up~"

With that, Hachiman walked straight forward.

"I think my brother is in a hurry to go back because he is thinking about the kotatsu at home~"

Komachi looked at Hachiman's back and said, his tone was a little cute.

"Yes, that's right, it's so cold outside, I definitely want to stay at home in the kotatsu~"

Hachiman said confidently.

"Then if those sisters come to ask their brother out to play, will my brother go out?"

Komachi trotted forward and asked as he looked at Hachiman curiously.

“.... Absolutely not~"

Hachiman muttered for a few seconds before quickly replying.

"Brother, if you want to lie, please don't hesitate, it's really fake!" Komachi couldn't help but complain.

"My brother didn't lie, my brother won't lie to his lovely sister~"

"Oh... This sentence scored very well in my brother's heart~"

“... Brother, this idiot~"

Originally, when he first heard the previous sentence, Komachi felt a little happy in his heart, but when he heard the latter sentence, his good mood suddenly disappeared.

"Wait, Komachi, slide carefully, don't run so fast~"

Hachiman looked at Komachi who had run away, and immediately chased after him worriedly.

………

At the same time, the house under the snow is also full of New Year's atmosphere~

"Yukino, Takasaka-kun, they're coming over soon, you hurry back and prepare~"

The mother under the snow looked at the casually dressed under the snow, and said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Yes, Mother~"

When facing his mother under the snow, he always had a feeling that he couldn't resist, so he naturally agreed.

"Remember to dress pretty, and later you may mention your marriage contract with Takasaka-kun, and strive to leave a good impression in the hearts of others~"

Hearing this, Xue Xia couldn't help biting her lip, her hands clenched unconsciously, and she felt a little nervous and helpless in her heart, in her mother's heart, maybe she was just a prop...

"Mother, I'll go with Yukino!"

Yang Nai is also at home today, looking at her sister's sad expression, as a heavy sister control, she finally couldn't help but stand up.

"Okay, by the way, you can also help Xue Nai refer to it, and strive to finalize this marriage contract tonight~"

In the face of Yangnai, the attitude of the mother under the snow changed a little better, and her tone became a little softer.

Seeing this, Xuexia felt even more uncomfortable, and sure enough, her mother only cared about her sister and didn't care about her at all.

"Understood, Mother, I'll help you dress up under the snow~"

"Let's go, Yukino, go to your room~"

Bowing lightly to his mother, Yono took Yukino upstairs...

………

"It's better for you to laugh, otherwise if you go to see Takasaka-kun with this cold expression, your mother will definitely be angry~"

Looking at the snow with an expressionless face and changing clothes, Yang Nai said as if admonishing.

"It doesn't matter, there should be a high probability that this thing won't work out anyway~"

She continued to maintain a cold face under the snow, and she didn't like her sister very much in her heart, let alone smile in front of her~

"Oh~ Then why do you still have a dead expression? That should be a good thing for you! ”

Although Yang Nai had already guessed something in his heart, he remained silent on the surface.

"I just don't like the feeling of being used as a tool by my parents, I think it's very uncomfortable~"

Touching his chest under the snow, he remembered his mother's indifferent expression from beginning to end....

“... Is it?! ”

Hearing this, Yang Nai didn't know what to say, she could only say that they were born in such a family, this should be a fate that can't be avoided, and her future marriage may be like this, her parents are in charge, and she has no right to choose...
