After Li Lin finished explaining, Kobayashi Gentian stopped dwelling on the plot of the book, and she began to ask Li Lin about the next works to be serialized.

When Li Lin said that the next two works may not be as suitable for female readers as the previous ones, she couldn't help but feel a little lacking in interest.

Of course, she said that she would still support Li Lin.

After lunch, Hattori and Kurosei went to work, while Kobayashi Gentian continued to start her life as a waiter, and Li Lin, who didn't have much to do, walked on the way back.

Looking at the snow scattered in the sky, Li Lin couldn't help but say as he walked on the road: "It's also this season!" The New Year is also coming, well, it looks like it's time to prepare greeting cards. ”

Li Lin feels quite good about neon customs, no matter what, this is also a way to connect feelings!

Finally, December 31st is here, although Li Lin lives alone, but he is not alone for the New Year's Eve, there are many people in his apartment who are running here for a living even on New Year's Day.

Some of them feel shameless because they don't think they have made a name for themselves in Tokyo, some don't want to go back because they have a lot to do in the New Year, and some of them are alone because they are not married.

Everyone has their own story.

Happy families are all similar, unhappy families have their own misfortunes, and this sentence is the same for people, but they are still here in the New Year and have their own stories.

As a landlord, he felt that he couldn't let them spend the New Year alone, so he prepared a lot of soba noodles and replaced the tables with the unused kotatsu stove on the first floor of the apartment.

On New Year's Eve, I watched the New Year's party with the tenants, ate soba noodles, and played poker and shogi.

Seeing that the tenants who were still unknown even though they were separated by a wall were now mingling to present a happy scene, Li Lin unconsciously smiled.

Li Lin suddenly felt that it was really good to be able to become the landlord of this apartment, and to make his apartment a place for tenants to bond...... (Love Apartment, Squint.) ）

Just as he was thinking like this, a very spiritual voice sounded behind him: "Hahaha, landlord, what are you doing?" Come on, come on, come with me to play shogi, this time I must beat you. ”

Li Lin looked at the old man, it seemed that several other shogi players disliked him and didn't take him to play!

It shouldn't be a big deal to play chess for a while before 12 o'clock, so Li Lin stood up and said, "Okay, Mr. Tazaki, it's okay to play, but you can't secretly steal my chess pieces anymore!" ”

As soon as he heard Li Lin mention this, Old Man Tazaki immediately showed a heroic and righteous expression: "Little landlord, do you think I am like that?" ”

Li Lin had an expression of distrust: "But, old man Tazaki, how do you explain the last time you held a few of my chess pieces in your hands?" ”

The old man still said stiffly: "Ahem, cough, how would I know." ”

As he spoke, he showed an expression of sudden realization: "Ah, I know, it must have been those chess pieces that folded directly into my hand." ”

So, Mr. Tazaki, let's demonstrate the special technique of this space-time bending......

However, Li Lin still couldn't help but say this, otherwise he would definitely not be able to play shogi.

He stood up with a smile: "Then Mr. Tazaki, don't regret your chess!" ”

Seeing that Li Lin agreed, Mr. Tazaki was also happy: "I think it's like that?" Hahaha, look at me beating you completely this time, landlord. ”

………………

Li Lin said that defeating him does not exist, and after 54 consecutive defeats Mr. Tazaki, you still don't admit the fact that you can't handle me?

When the hands pointed to twelve o'clock, the hanging bell hanging in the activity room finally rang the New Year's bell.

Is it almost time?

Standing up from his seat, Li Lin walked to the front of the TV, he looked at these tenants with a calm look, and bowed slightly: "Then everyone, Happy New Year, please give me more advice in the future." ”

After seeing Li Lin thank him like this, these people also quickly stood up: "Happy New Year." ”

After welcoming the New Year, the elderly who couldn't stay up late and the young people who had to go to work tomorrow went to bed early.

Although it is not like Huaxia will set off fireworks to welcome the New Year when it arrives at twelve o'clock, Li Lin can't sleep in the face of such a peaceful New Year.

Probably because he felt a little unaccustomed to such a lonely feeling!

Since you can't sleep, let's go out for a walk! I happened to do a lot of things and felt a little hungry, and I really didn't want to work hard to make food at home.

It's good to go out and see what to eat, so Li Lin put on his coat and went out with his wallet.

Walking on the streets, even in the New Year, there are still a lot of pedestrians on the streets, and it seems that they have used other ways to welcome the New Year.

Walking to the shopping street, looking at the closed shops on both sides, Li Lin felt that he was going to suffer.

The shops are closed, so it looks like you can only visit other places.

It's not bad to walk around.

So Li Lin continued to walk on the street to see if he could find a place to eat something.

Just as he was walking down the road, he heard the sound of a group of people shouting, and looked towards the sound, oh, it seemed to be pounding rice cakes.

And Li Lin feels that these people are familiar with how they look, but regardless of these, this seems to be a small restaurant!

Finally found a place to fill his stomach, Li Lin walked up.

Seeing someone coming, these people who were pounding rice cakes stopped and looked at Li Lin.

When he walked in, he finally confirmed that these people were not familiar, but very familiar.

Late-night cafeteria ......

Uncle Sopranos has a thick line!!

Li Lin personally still likes "The Lonely Gourmet" very much, and seeing his uncle who can show a satisfied face even if he eats not very good food, Li Lin also subconsciously feels a little hungry.

And this person wearing an apron on the lower half of his body, plain clothes on his upper body, and a vicissitudes of life on his face should be the owner of this late-night canteen!

Li Lin walked over and looked at the owner of the small restaurant standing on him, and he said, "Boss, can you get some food casually?" Feeling a little hungry. ”

Watching a diner come to his small restaurant, he smiled and said, "Welcome, then wait a minute, the rice cake will be ready soon." ”

After saying that, he walked in and prepared the ingredients for the rice cake soup.

Looks like I've found a nice restaurant today! Li Lin couldn't help but smile.

Just when Li Lin was thinking this, a very motherly male voice came: "Wait, little brother, come and pound the rice cakes!" ”

Uh, is that calling him? Li Lin turned around, he saw that these people were all looking at him, he was slightly stunned and said, "Me? ”

The womanly dressed man said, "Of course, you know, but those who don't work have no food. ”

This is true, Li Lin said with a smile: "Then, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
