Chapter 143: White Day
Naoto Yoshihara looked at the various sweets and snacks in the window and couldn't make up his mind. Today is March 14th, which is White Day, and according to custom, he must pay off the debt for the chocolates he received on Valentine's Day.
White Day is a conspiracy of the Toei Confectionery Association, because Valentine's Day is designated as chocolate, and the sales are amazing, and the Confectionery Association is very hot, so it is set as White Day a month after Valentine's Day, asking men to give gifts to women who gave them Yili chocolates.
The history is not long, and it has only been more than 30 years since White Day was officially determined, but because Toei has a tradition of returning gifts, which is in line with public habits, it has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at this time - such as Satsuki Yayoi, who doesn't say it, but is actually looking forward to what she will receive today, because she gave Yoshiwara Naoto Yili chocolate. (She hopes to know her place in the other person's heart by returning the gift)
There are two types of chocolates on Valentine's Day, one is Honmei Chocolate and the other is Righteous Chocolate. Needless to say, Natal chocolate is a kind of thanks, thanks for the care and help received over the past year, friends, brothers and sisters, father and daughter, colleagues, superiors and subordinates can be sent.
Satsuki Yayoi sent it, Miki Momomiya also sent it, the female staff in SPM Investment basically gave Naoto Yoshihara a copy, and even Nana Hoshino also followed the custom to give Naoto Yoshiwara a piece of chocolate - a real piece, a chocolate board brick, a palm long and half palm thick, which can be used as a murder weapon.
She didn't have the patience to melt the chocolate and pour it into the mold one by one like Miki Momomiya, so she simply made a brick squarely, which was economical and affordable, and let Naoto Yoshihara find a way to lick and eat it by himself.
There are many people who send it, and the situation is still different, so Naoto Yoshihara is a little difficult.
White Day gifts are also required, such as the female employees of Tobu weaving and SPM investment, they are just to contact feelings, the company's Valentine's Day is full of chocolate smells, Yili chocolate is flying everywhere, and basically everyone in the male staff has received it.
For these female employees, one person can buy a bucket of high-end cookies - cookies mean "we are good friends"! It is suitable for this kind of return gift that has nothing to do with feelings, but is just a social custom.
Satsuki Yayoi is also easy to do, when she gave it, she said that it was Yili chocolate, and hinted that she wanted to get a commensurate gift, so she could buy her a bag of cute round cakes, which means "you are my special friend"!
It's just that Momomiya Miki and Hoshino Nana are not easy to do, Momomiya Miki chocolate is placed next to his breakfast plate, packed in a small hand-sewn cloth bag, the chocolates in it are delicate and cute, unique, and sold in supermarkets, and she herself hid in the kitchen and didn't show up, and she was even more ashamed all day afterwards, not mentioning half a word, shouldn't this be Natal Chocolate?
For her, should I return the gift? If I need to return the gift, should I give her candy? Candy means "I like you too", but if it is not my life, it will hurt to give this egg...... However, she must like herself, right?
And what should Hoshino Nana do? She must have given her righteous chocolate, but she would be unhappy to give her the same gift as Satsuki Yayoi, after all, the relationship between the two is special, and they are also relatives and friends.
Naoto Yoshihara's eyes swept over the marshmallows, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved, why don't you send this? In the next year, we will continue to "hate each other"?
And her...... What kind of gifts do you want to return? Naoto Yoshihara looked up at the sky, sighed softly, and then went into the candy store, ordered more than 20 buckets of expensive butter cookies in one go, filled in the names of the female employees in the company, and asked the store to deliver them immediately - as the founder of the generation and the number one boss in the company, he didn't have to bow his head one by one, and it didn't matter if the gift was not there.
This is a big order, and the manager of the candy store is smiling, bowing again and again, and personally accompanying Naoto Yoshihara to continue shopping.
Naoto Yoshihara bought a bag of macaron rounds for Yayoi Satsuki and a pack of honey-flavored gummy sticks for Nana Hoshino, and finally it was Miki Monomiya's turn...... He couldn't help but take out a delivery slip from his pocket and look at it - Ruri Nishikujo tore it off when he sent him chocolates and kept it in his pocket for a month, with the address of Mai's house and Ruri Nishikujo's signature on it.
He looked at it for a while, sighed secretly, put it back on, and finally bought Miki Momomiya's share.
Naoto Yoshihara went out with these sweets and snacks in thanks. Wearing a suit and trench coat, short hair on his head, and a faint smile on his face, he has been reborn, like a normal white-collar worker.
Of course, compared with normal office workers, he got off work a little early, but Miki Momonomiya was even more excessive, and he disappeared after the afternoon closing, and Bacheng went to buy ingredients and went home to cook.
He paced towards the parking place, hesitated for a moment when passing by a flower shop, and felt that it was not good not to return the gift, so he ordered a bouquet of flowers to fill in the address of Nishikujo Ruri, and sighed leisurely and told the clerk to be sure to deliver it today.
He went all the way home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Satsuki Yayoi with an expression of dying - the deviation of the small test was forty-five, which did not meet the expected level of Hoshino Nana, and he was abused by Hoshino Nana during spring break.
The soup pot in the kitchen was spewing steam, and Miki Momonomiya smiled when she heard the door ringing, nodded softly, and whispered to welcome back.
Naoto Yoshihara took off his shoes and went to the table to take a look, handed a large bag of macarons to Yayoi Satsuki, who was sad, and said with a smile: "This is a return gift!"
Satsuki Yayoi took it in surprise, couldn't wait to open it and take a closer look, and saw that it was a small round cake, and he understood it in seconds, and smiled.
Naoto Yoshihara gave the gum candy stick to Nana Hoshino, "This is for you!" Nana Hoshino dropped the thick book in her hand, pretended not to care, and took a look, and then looked at Yayoi Satsuki, who was holding a small round cake and stuffing it into her mouth, and said strangely, "Why did you buy me this?"
Naoto Yoshihara said sincerely: "I think this is especially suitable for you!"
Nana Hoshino pulled out a long gum candy, and when she heard Naoto Yoshihara's sincere tone, she was immediately relieved, put it in her mouth, chewed hard, and kept biting, but the taste of honey kept seeping out, so she said vaguely: "The taste is really good, you still know my taste, do you know? Honey contains a variety of beneficial ingredients that people need, among which ......"
The more she spoke, the more vague she became, her eyebrows pulled down, and she chewed hard to finish the candy quickly, but this thing was so chewy......
Naoto Yoshihara saw that Nana Hoshino was silent in the middle of what he said, and he also felt satisfied - this sugar sticky tooth waste mouth, he can listen to a lot of nagging less, killing two birds with one stone, which is very good.
Nana Hoshino felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't spit out what she had eaten in her mouth, so she lowered her head there and chewed violently, her mouth was full of saliva, and she was too busy to care about anything else for a while.
Miki Momonomiya brought a cup of hot tea to Naoto Yoshihara, but a pair of apricot eyes looked straight at Naona Kotsuki, who was holding a round cake and smiling and bowing his head with a strange look, and he was distracted, and he almost threw the hot tea on Naoto Yoshihara's face.
Naoto Yoshihara hurriedly took it, put a delicate small cloth bag on her hand, and smiled softly: "This is a return gift for you, Miki...... The chocolate was delicious. ”
Miki Momonomiya couldn't put it down when she looked at the small cloth bag, and she didn't care about the soup pot in the kitchen, so she knelt down in front of the small square table and said softly with the excitement in her heart: "It's good if Yoshihara-kun likes it!"
As she spoke, she quickly opened the bag, looked at it and couldn't believe it, closed the bag and opened it, looked at it again, and finally believed it, and suddenly her whole face turned red, and she felt a little guarded to see the moon.
Satsuki Yayoi ate two small round cakes and felt that they tasted very good, and saw that Miki Momomiya had a strange expression, so he looked into the bag, and saw that it was some ordinary fruit hard candy - she is small, she is honest outside, and she is delicate at home, but she knows this kind of little girl's thing best.
She blinked with round eyes, and immediately reached into the bag and grabbed it, grinning evilly and shouting, "Sister Miki, can you give me a taste?"
Miki Momomiya instinctively closed the bag, her face flushed but she couldn't say no if she squeaked. Satsuki Yayoi was very close to her when she got acquainted, and she twisted her body on her and said coquettishly: "I'll exchange cookies with you! Give me a taste, Sister Miki, can you give me a taste...... Don't you like me, give me a taste?"
Nana Hoshino stretched her neck and swallowed desperately, finally swallowed the gum, looked at Yayoi Satsuki and Miki Momonomiya strangely, and asked strangely, "Does Sister Miki have anything delicious?"
Momomiya Miki couldn't resist it, Jade Tooth bit her lip lightly, shyly and timidly glanced at Naoto Yoshihara who was drinking tea, fled to the kitchen with the bag, and said nonsense: "The pot is going to boil, and the soup is not good when it is cold!"
Nana Hoshino looked at Miki Momonomiya, who fled incoherently, and was even more strange, looked at Naoto Yoshihara and asked, "What's going on?"
Naoto Yoshiwara squeezed his eyes and smiled, "It's a good thing!"
Satsuki Yayoi smiled with round eyes, borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and held a biscuit to congratulate Naoto Yoshihara: "Congratulations to my uncle for his successful confession!"
"The confession is successful, what confession is successful?" Nana Hoshino was stunned.
Satsuki Yayoi leaned into her ear and said, "Uncle gave Sister Miki fruit candy, and Sister Miki accepted it...... They're going to get married!"
Naoto Yoshihara is with Miki Momomiya, she is happy to see it, she feels close to both of them, and she has a simple temperament, just watching the two people confirm each other's intentions, and she already thinks of the wedding ceremony.
Nana Hoshino suddenly felt an indescribable sense of irritation in her ears when she heard this, as if she had thrown a boulder into a shallow pond, smashing countless silt tumbling and rolling, and the originally clear water was suddenly turbid.
She was stunned, looked at the gum candy stick in her hand, felt a dazzling look, threw it directly on the table, and said sullenly: "It's unpalatable, I don't want this thing!"
Then her eyebrows were not eyebrows, and she shouted to Naoto Yoshiwara, "Give me back my chocolate!"
Naoto Yoshihara glanced at him, this product is so moody, he drank tea and said lazily: "I'll go to the toilet to find it for you later, but it's been a month, and I may not be able to find it!"
He's lived so long that he's never heard of giving people gifts and going back! Besides, he didn't like sweets, but for the sake of her heart, he barely ate them, and now it's already stinky, so where can he find it?
Ignore her!
He only thought that Hoshino Nana was unhappy with this sugar sticky tooth - this was expected, she could find fault with anything she sent her - and he didn't take it seriously, and the old god was still there, waiting for Miki Momonomiya to feed at a fixed point.
Nana Hoshino looked at him hatefully, turned around and ignored him, turned on the TV, put her arms around her chest, and sulked there. There was news on TV, and she didn't look at it squarely, but she just pondered in her heart......
He is with himself, he has responsibilities to each other, and he has to take care of each other for a lifetime, so he has to take care of his life, old age, sickness and death, and marriage is no exception, always let him have a happy life! It stands to reason that Sister Miki is the best candidate, it is better than him finding someone who he hates, but why is he so unhappy in his heart?
