December 24th, Christmas Eve.

On this day, the final exams of Mingsheng High School were over, and all the students breathed a long sigh of relief.

From then on, it's winter vacation.

They won't be back until January 10 of the following year.

"What a painful week......"

Matake Hirasawa stretched and let out a grumbling of dissatisfaction.

"Okay, see you next time, it should be a year away."

Izumi Kurose said as she packed her school bag, thinking about tomorrow.

Tomorrow, not only Christmas, but also Shiraishi's birthday,

And tomorrow, he has to do something very important and very important.

In this regard, Izumi Kurose was a little apprehensive, and he didn't know if he could do it well.

"Please take care of me in the coming year."

"It's too early, right? A sucker. ”

"I'll just talk about it casually......"

After chatting a few words, Izumi Kurose, who packed his schoolbag, left the classroom with Chiren Shiraishi.

Matake Hirasawa followed.

However, instead of going straight to the shoe closet like the two of them, he went to the first-year floor.

After opening the shoe cabinet and taking out the shoes to change into, Izumi Kurose casually proposed, "Tomorrow, call my mother to have dinner together?" ”

"Listen to you."

"Then do it, because we're family."

"Hmm."

Walking out of the school building, a cold wind blew in her face, and Izumi Kurose couldn't help but tighten the black scarf around her neck.

"It's getting colder, so let's have something warm tomorrow?"

"I think Izumi is warm, can I eat it?"

Shiraishi Chiren said, raised the hand that was holding with Izumi Kurose, and wanted to devour it!

Seeing this, Izumi Kurose hurriedly said, "Don't make trouble! I'm not eating. ”

"Huh? It's delicious......"

Shiraishi tilted her head slightly. Open your mouth, revealing a row of white teeth, and bite down lightly.

The movement is gentle, just bite.

“……”

Izumi Kurose looked at this scene helplessly and sighed.

Well, if that's the case, let her go.

He ignored the warmth and wetness in his hands and held his head high.

"Uh-huh......"

“…… Chiri, are you a squirrel? ”

In this way, Izumi Kurose was being 'gnawed' by Shiraishi Chiren all the way, and his face was full of helplessness.

She didn't know what was crazy, whether it was on the road or on the tram, she was biting his hand all the time.

'What a troublesome girlfriend. ’

——

The next morning, a faint light filtered through the window, illuminating the interior.

Izumi Kurose's eyelids twitched slightly for a while, and then slowly opened them.

"Ha~"

After a yawn, he sat up from the bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked sideways at the clock.

It was still early, only 6:14.

Izumi Kurose got off the bed lightly, lest she disturb Chiren Shiraishi, who was lying beside her.

He walked to the window, lifted the curtain, and a touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon.

In winter, the days and nights are very long, and if you want to get rid of it, you have to wait until at least about 6:45.

After glancing at the sky, Izumi Kurose lowered the curtain and went into the bathroom to wash up and prepare for a morning run.

When I got home, it was exactly half past six.

The belly of the fish on the horizon is white, and it has been dyed with a golden light.

It was sunrise.

"Jingle Bell~Ding Bell~Jingle Bell~"

Izumi Kurose hummed Christmas songs all the way and trotted leisurely down the streets.

The surrounding residents may still be sleeping, and only a few houses are lit up.

But the preparations for Christmas are already there.

Lights are placed outside the doors of each house, a Christmas tree is placed, and colored lights are pulled.

The Kurose family is no exception.

Just last night, Izumi Kurose and Chiren Shiraishi had just set it up together.

After returning home from a morning run, Izumi Kurose took off his scarf and coat and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Although I didn't sweat, my body was a little cold, so I had to use hot water to soothe it.

After turning on the shower and adjusting the water temperature to the right level, Kurose Izumi bathes in steaming mist hot water and lets out a pleasant sigh.

Hot water slid down Junyi's well-defined face to his neck, then to his neck, collarbone, and chest...... Finally, it flows to the white porcelain floor and is discharged along the water outlet.

After taking a shower, Izumi Kurose opened the refrigerator with half-dried hair, took out the ingredients and entered the kitchen, and neatly made a breakfast and set it on the table.

Today's breakfast consisted of: clam miso soup, bacon omelette, grilled salmon, and rice balls.

After that, Izumi Kurose walked into the master bedroom, came to the bed, pulled Shiraishi Chiren's little face, and shouted softly, "Chiren, get up, breakfast is ready." ”

"Hmm...... Sleep a little more. ”

After Shiraishi Qianren muttered, she turned over and let out a faint resentment.

"Is one meeting a billion meetings? How long? ”

"Five minutes."

After receiving a definite response, Izumi Kurose stood quietly by the bedside, waiting for the time to pass.

After five minutes, he lifted the quilt without saying anything, picked up Shiraishi Qianlian, and walked towards the bathroom.

And Shiraishi Chiri, who was in his arms, still didn't react.

She just reached out her little hand and grabbed Izumi Kurose's neckline.

Carried to the bathroom like this, Izumi Kurose put down Chiren Shiraishi, brought a basin of hot water, and naturally brushed her teeth and washed her face.

"Open your mouth."

"Ah~"

"Rinse your mouth."

"Uh-huh-"

……

After washing, the two finished breakfast together, and then they were ready to go out to buy ingredients.

Holding hands, the two went to a nearby supermarket, and while wandering around the food section, their eyes swept over the dazzling array of ingredients.

It is topped with seasonal vegetables, pork, beef, seafood, and more.

But—only no turkey!

Izumi Kurose touched his chin with one hand and muttered, "It's supposed to be a turkey for Christmas, right?" ”

In fact, the turkey is not delicious, it is just a decoration and a meaning.

Shiraishi Qianren held his forehead with one hand and said lightly: "Stupid, supermarkets don't sell turkeys." ”

"That's ......" Izumi Kurose nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Then where is it sold?" ”

"Go to the market and buy it. Quan, you don't have a family, how do you know this? ”

"Yes, yes, or a thousand mercy and virtuous, I will definitely be a good wife in the future."

Faced with Shiraishi's pity, Izumi Kurose nodded repeatedly, with a soft smile on his face.

"Hmm...... I love to hear that. Shiraishi Chiren also nodded, smiling.

In the end, the ingredients they picked filled two vegetable baskets, and it was conservatively estimated that they would weigh as much as five or six catties!

Because considering that it was Christmas, and there would be people coming, I bought a little more.

There's a good word for it, it's called "be prepared."

Anyway, if you can't use it up, you can save it for tomorrow to make it, or save it for tomorrow to eat.

After leaving the supermarket, they went to the Tsukiji Market to buy turkey.

In the process, I bought some fresh seafood before returning home.

Izumi Kurose has a bag full of all kinds of ingredients, from precious meats to seasonings.

Shiraishi Chiren also filled her hands.
