Chapter 32: New Year's Visits

December 31 is Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Wow! Anyway, that's too exaggerated, isn't it? ”

Because of the New Year's visit, Xia Junhao was dragged by Shinzuki Saki to the big shrine responsible for dispelling illness and eliminating disasters at nine o'clock in the evening, but they were still late, and the whole line lined up directly near the torii.

"Did Xia Junjun go to a small shrine before? The number of people here is about the same as in my hometown, and I've heard that Fushimi Inari Shrine is bigger than here. ”

Saki Konotsuki, who attends the New Year's shrine every year, said that she has long been accustomed to it, and it takes several hours to come to the main shrine for the New Year's pilgrimage just by queuing, and the roadside stalls are also very overly grilled with fragrant squid, which is completely a journey of spiritual training.

"Well, it's a small temple over there, and although there are a lot of people, there is not much need to queue."

Xia Junhao remembered the temple in Doucheng, and it was also very lively during the New Year, but the difference was that the fireworks on the neon side were not so strong.

During the New Year at the temple in Doucheng, everyone will bring incense wax, and the so-called incense burning prayer is that the people who come directly throw the incense wax into a large Ding furnace, and the flame is at least three or four meters high, making it look like a bonfire party.

"Let's go and see together next year, isn't Xia Junjun going home this year? Mother..."

After the engagement was made, Xinyue Saki also changed her words in some titles, but she still refused to call Xia Junhao dear directly, no matter how coquettish Xia Junhao was.

“... It doesn't matter if my mom is there, let's just visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law tomorrow, and I have to thank them for raising such a lovely daughter as Saki-chan anyway! ”

Speaking of which, Xia Junhao and Xinyue Saki didn't know much about each other's parents, Xia Junhao deliberately concealed it, and there were thunder points, Xinyue Saki didn't know much about it, Xinyue Saki was on her side, it was Xia Junhao's own dereliction of duty.

"Mom and Dad passed away in an accident when I was younger... It was my mother-in-law who raised me, and the year before that..."

Unexpected and reasonable life experience, no wonder Xinyue Saki is so afraid of life, and he has never mentioned his parents in his daily life, even if he is engaged, he has not said it to his relatives.

"I'm sorry..."

Originally, these could be speculated through a simple analysis, but because his carelessness stepped on the minefield, Xia Junhao could only hug Xinyue Saki tightly to express his apologies.

"It's okay, now that I have Xia Junjun, I will work my mother's side!"

Xia Junhao's father is not mentioned, and Saki Shinzuki is much more careful than Xia Junhao at this point.

"I'm really sorry..."

Under such an answer, Xia Junhao became more and more guilty, and he could only hide his expression by hugging harder.

"Really, those things are over, and it's almost the New Year, so keep smiling to get the favor of the gods in the next year~"

Rubbing Xia Junhao's hair, Xinyue Saki comforted Xia Junhao, who suddenly became sentimental.

"However, I think that being able to meet Saki-chan is proof that I have won the favor of the gods."

Without blushing and saying sensual love words, Xia Junhao successfully harvested a red-faced Saki-chan, and the passers-by nearby looked at him with all kinds of eyes.

The two of them were tired of being crooked for a while, and they were really bored waiting, Xia Junhao quietly took out his mobile phone and headphones and listened to songs that did not belong to this era with Xinyue Saki.

As for adding mysteries or something, Xia Junhao doesn't care anymore, he doesn't think Saki-chan is a fool, having lived together for so long, Saki-chan must have found quite a lot of unsolved mysteries from daily life.

Since Saki-chan has never asked herself, it means that Saki-chan will not ask herself in the future, and continuing to cover up now will produce a sense of distance.

"What's wrong?"

It's almost early in the morning.,Xia Junhao and Xinyue Saki finally lined up near the Mitarai.,At this time,Xia Junhao found a more serious problem.,It seems that you have to go through a ritual before visiting various shrines.,He doesn't know how to do this ritual at all.。

"Don't they feel cold?"

It doesn't matter if ordinary flaws are exposed, this won't happen, Xia Junhao is suspected of not being a neon person.

"Xia Junjun! Don't make jokes like that! I beg your pardon, Lord God..."

pinched Xia Junhao's waist and punished him, and Xinyue Saki nervously pulled Xia Junhao to apologize in the direction of the shrine.

"Lord God! Please forgive me for my offense! I'm just too complacent..."

Realizing that he was indeed a little frivolous, Xia Junhao apologized with a very sincere attitude, it naturally didn't matter if he joked casually when he didn't believe in this before, and even watched the Goddess of War series, and now, he is super self-conscious.

There were too many people who came to worship, and Xia Junhao and Xinyue Saki lined up for a while before coming to Mitarai, and Xia Junhao, who had observed how several people cleaned their hands, had completely mastered this ritual, so I won't go into detail here.

When visiting the main hall, he also learned to bow two times and clap his hands and bow well, and then, Xia Junhao threw 95 yen ten times in a row in the money box with Bong Na written on it, and shook the bell so loudly that his piety could be scored at least nine points in this process.

After that, Xia Junhao spent a lot of money to buy amulets, painted horses... I did all the way I could think of praying to the gods.,Then I took the train back home with Saki Kokotsuki.。

By the next day...

"Honey, why are you so ugly? Got a cold? ”

Xinyue Saki was a little nervous and put her forehead on Xia Junhao's forehead.

"Maybe it's a nightmare... Drink plenty of hot water and rest. ”

Squeezed out a smile, Xia Junhao's mood was still very bad.

"Wait a minute! I'm going to pour some hot water! ”

Without doubting him, Saki turned around and poured hot water.

"Your old man is playing with me!"

Xia Junhao looked at the prompt on his phone and groaned quietly, the progress of the task completion has soared to 85.3%, and it was only 74.8% yesterday.

"Isn't this really a favorability query?"

Xia Junhao has been working hard to delay time, and the progress of the engagement has increased from 61.6% to 72.1%, and the progress has risen to about 74% after writing love letters for a few days. Thinking about it this way, Xia Junhao seems to have been working hard to leave this world...

"Does it really matter?"

At this time, Saki Kokotsuki came back with warm water and a hot towel.

"No problem at all! As long as I can see Saki-chan, I have nothing to be afraid of! ”

recovered his vitality in an instant, what Xia Junhao didn't notice was that the progress of the task completion had moved up again, and it was a matter of time before 0.3% to 0.4% went on like this.
