New Era 270, January 1.

New Yokohama is snowing heavily.

Tokizaki woke up early in the morning, and while he was washing, the gloomy sky and mountains were reflected in the mirror of the bathroom.

"When will the section chief be back......" she muttered as she looked in the direction of the north, and after a long time, returned to Rena's room. The room was still a little dark, only the lit lamp provided a little light, and an open Gospel was quietly placed on the bedside table.

Eyes move slightly.

Rena's mother fell asleep on the bed, her expression and posture were the same as before, and the warm bedding wrapped around her tightly.

"Hey~"

Tokizaki snickered like a kitten.

In order not to wake Rena's mother, she quietly opened the door and closed it quietly when she came in. Then he walked to the side of the bed and looked down at Sister Rena's sleeping face, reached out and gently placed it on her forehead, and whispered her name.

Sister Rena didn't wake up.

Shi Qi quietly got on the bed.

Two arms around Mother Rena, who was sleeping on her back, her cheek lightly pressed against her chest, and she didn't move.

"Hmm......"

Sister Lena slowly opened her eyes.

There was another familiar warm figure in the futon, and she turned sideways, her long eyelashes shimmering with a gentle look.

"Happy New Year." She said with a smile.

Shi Qi blinked and replied, "Sister Rena is happy, and when you are young, Qi will be happy." ”

Sister Rena couldn't help but laugh, reached out to hug her, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

The picture of two blonde beauties being so intimate is really very tempting.

"We'll have to do the New Year's prayers later." Sister Rena smiled and said, "I want to think about it, I've been taking you with me every year since I came here. ”

"Seventeen years!" Shi Qi looked at her with a smile, "I came to the convent when I was three years old, and I have been following Sister Rena. ”

"You're grown up now!" Sister Rena touched her waist and quipped, "Our young lady is already twenty years old, slim, beautiful, with ruddy cheeks and beautiful green eyes......"

"Haha~"

Tokizaki laughed happily twice, and his hand also wrapped around Rena's mother's waist.

"Sister Rena is pretty......"

As she spoke, she suddenly blew gently on Sister Rena's face, kissed Sister Rena's cheek, and then said in a half-joking, half-emotional tone: "In Tokizaki's opinion, Sister Rena is the best-looking woman in the world, and she is still very charming. Look, look, these blue eyes of yours, if I were a man, haha......"

When she spoke, her eyes were filled with girlish enthusiasm and adoration.

Sister Rena didn't hide the smile in her eyes at all, these two beautiful and cute female cats, you pinched me on the bed, and I pinched you and played.

Tokizaki picked up a handkerchief from the bedside table, used it to cover Sister Rena's face, and slowly pulled it down from above. Under the white handkerchief, Sister Rena's smooth forehead, delicate eyebrows, and sparkling eyes gradually appeared...... Then she threw herself over and kissed the eye again.

"It's itchy......"

Sister Rena hunched her shoulders and turned slightly to avoid her, deliberately trying to avoid her.

"Before the section chief comes back, I want him to know that Sister Rena is mine!" Tokizaki deliberately put on a serious face and grabbed Sister Rena's shoulders gracefully like a cat, and the presence of power could always be felt in this grace.

After a while, both of them were a little tired.

It was still a little early, and Shi Qi asked her to sleep a little longer, and when the time came to wake her up.

Sister Rena smiled in reply, closed her eyes, and began to doze off. Shi Qi didn't move anymore, just lay on his side, slanting his gaze at her side face, admiring a beautiful picture with all his heart.

Time slipped by like a mouse.

In this semi-dark room, roses in ancient vases give off a faint fragrance. The nun, who had fallen asleep, gently placed her folded hands on her lower abdomen, and her sweet goose-faced face gently pressed against the snow-white pillow; How charming is this young, kind, pure, and indescribably beautiful man......

Shi Qi's eyes were bright.

Having relied on Sister Rena since she was a child, Tokizaki knows better than anyone how noble her character is and how touching her life is.

Her words are noble and beautiful, and whenever she communicates with someone, she can always make them feel warm.

No matter what happens, she will do her best to help people in distress, to help them as best she can, to give them the Gospels, to read the Gospels to the sick, to the criminals, to the dying people.

Her every move inadvertently showed a graceful posture that was not intentional, naturally a little shy; Her voice was as pure as a girlish silver bell, and even the slightest hint of joy would make her smile on her soft cherry lips and give her glowing blue eyes a subtle tenderness.

As a nun, she always had a sense of obligation in her heart, afraid of causing anyone to suffer. She has a kind, gentle heart and likes all people, but she doesn't particularly like anyone; The object of her passion is only God (Nance was the first to destroy her inner peace, and she felt it shyly and tenderly). ）

But in private, she is always alone, alone in the shadow of the lampshade.

For many years in Shin-Yokohama, she had no friends or relatives, and with a sad disappointment, she had no desires or remorse.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is the perfect nun of dreams; But in Shi Qi's eyes, she is just an ordinary woman who is bound by the identity of "nun", nothing more.

"Section Chief, ......"

"Can you take Mother Rena out of this abyss......"

A whisper like a little girl came from Miss Tokisaki's lips.

It was at this moment that several messages came in from the communication device, and she opened it to see that it was Nance who asked her to discuss something with Sister Marlene...... It's just that the content of this made her dumbfounded.

She wasn't very receptive to her boss's idea.

But she didn't want to refute her boss because of this, so she could only insist on adding a condition to it, and said to Nance righteously: "If you don't agree to this, section chief, I will never agree with your idea!" ”

Nance sent a few blackface expressions in a row.

In the end, he was forced to agree, but he still agreed to the adjutant's proposal and asked her to ask Marlene for money to repair the dormitory.

※※※※※

It was nine o'clock in the morning, and there was a lot of noise outside the window, and the sound of footsteps and conversation from near and far could be heard in the room. Sister Rena got up again, dressed up in the mirror, and asked, "Where is Nance back?" ”

Shi Qi looked down at the device in his hand and replied, "There are still more than two hundred kilometers. ”

Hearing this, Sister Rena's eyes lit up, and she asked expectantly, "If it goes well, can he come back at noon?" ”

"Yes." Tokizaki stuck out his tongue.

Seeing the teasing smile in her eyes, Sister Rena blushed and subconsciously explained, "Well, I'm just, uh...... If he comes back, the plague will be solved, so I didn't say I wanted to see him......"

"Sister Rena is such a stupid ......" Shi Qi rubbed her eyebrows helplessly and muttered, "No wonder I was deceived by the section chief." ”

"Oh, don't make fun of me!" Sister Rena was so embarrassed that her face was hot, she deliberately kept a straight face, and said to Shi Qi seriously: "Hurry up and go to the church to help, otherwise I will scold you!" ”

Tokizaki jumped out of bed, ran behind her, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

"Wait for ...... meeting"

"Ahh~"

Sister Rena gasped heavily, then covered her hot face with her hands.

Last night she received the news that Nance was coming back today, and as a result, she stayed up all night, and her mind was always immersed in a nervous tension. But there was nothing unpleasant or gloomy about the phantom that filled her mind; Rather, it's the blissful, fiery, thrilling thrill.

It was almost dawn when she dozed off for a while.

At this time, a person dressed up in the mirror, she smeared some powder on her face and painted her eyelashes for the first time...... Imagining the image of Nance confidently and majestically appearing before her eyes, a shudder of pleasure made her feel weightless with both feet on the clouds.

"He should be able to catch the ...... of the New Year's prayer"

Sister Rena whispered.

Nance's face came to mind clearly, and she felt happy at the thought of his passion for herself.

※※※※※

Above the monastery, thin snowflakes floated.

In a grid-like area, between snow-covered huts, the nuns came out of the courtyard one after another and hurried in the direction of the church. There is also a steady stream of people coming at the foot of the mountain, and the atmosphere of the New Year has dissipated the turbulent atmosphere a little, and some children are chasing in the snow, making people feel full of vitality.

In the house that Nance frequented the most, Sister Marlene was dressed like a recovered patient, in a wide white dressing gown.

Theresia, the secretary, was busy in the living room.

With her efforts, the whole house looked like it was about to be a holiday.

On the couch was a round table with a clean tablecloth, and a large porcelain plate and coffee pot full of chocolates and sweets stood tall around the pot, surrounded by tea cups, long-necked glass bottles for syrup, buns, and even fresh bouquets; Six thin white candles burn in two ancient silver candlesticks, and the fragrance of the gods exudes a serene fragrance.

"Ha~"

Sister Marlene yawned.

The easy chair opened its soft arms and wrapped around her plump body, and she squinted lazily like a female fox napping. However, her face was a little pale and she looked tired, as a result of her previous injuries.

But she is such a strong Marlene after all.

Even though the injuries were not healed, the shrewdness of her eyes did not diminish the slightest bit, and the pale of her face added a mysterious and intimate element to the classical lines of her face.

"Aunt Marlene, do you want to go back to the room and sleep for a while?" Theresia asked, looking back.

Sister Marlene rubbed her forehead with her fingers, yawned and said, "After sleeping for more than ten days, my body will fall apart......"

Theresia, who was fiddling with the candlesticks, couldn't help but be amazed by her delicate and beautiful palms, but when her hands lazily played with the shiny black hair on her forehead, her eyes could no longer take her eyes off the white and slender soft fingertips.

"What are you doing?" Sister Marlene asked, playing with her hair.

Theresia said dumbfounded, "I seem to understand Nance's bastard......"

"Tsk!"

Sister Marlene frowned.

"Don't be that bastard in front of me!" She snapped straight away.

Theresia nodded hurriedly: "No problem, that guy sucks anyway, I feel uncomfortable mentioning him......"

"Tsk!"

Sister Marlene's brow furrowed even tighter.

"Shut up!" She scolded her niece harshly.

“？”

Theresia felt so aggrieved.

"Only I can scold him!" Sister Marlene raised an eyebrow triumphantly.

Theresia felt like she was being caught off guard by a mouthful of dog food.

But she didn't want to eat at all......

"Knock knock~"

There was a knock at the door.

After a while, Shi Qi, who was dressed simply, but could not hide his beautiful temperament, walked into the house.

"Sister Marlene, are you feeling better?" She asked Sister Marlene.

Sister Marlene nestled in her easy chair, motionless, "recovering well." Is there something wrong with Tokizaki? Come over here and sit down. ”

"The main thing is to ask if you want to attend the New Year's prayer service." Shi Qi moved over and sat down on the sofa, "At the same time, the section leader just sent a message to me and asked me to ask you for a sum of money to study the ninth class dormitory. ”

"Huh?"

Sister Marlene suddenly felt that there was something wrong with it.

Nansi's bastard is thick-skinned and will definitely not be embarrassed to ask her about asking for money, but why did he let Shi Qi ask this time......

In the living room, where white snowflakes floated outside the window, ice crystals hung under the eaves, and candles burned, Theresia brewed a pot of hot tea and placed it in front of Shizaki along with some snacks.

"Miss Tokisaki, please have tea."

"I'm sorry for you." Shi Qi nodded with a smile and continued to speak to the alert Sister Marlene, "The news from the section chief is that Li Ting has been found and his research results are coming. This time, he will bring Mrs. Li back and ask her to set up a biological gene company in the name of the Li family in partnership with the Du family. And the section chief also hopes that Sister Marlene will invest 100 million yuan in your personal name and account for 10% of the shares. ”

Sister Marlene twitched the corners of her mouth and said mockingly, "I don't believe that dog thing can be so kind......"

After she said this, she stared at Shi Qi, trying to learn about her boss's conspiracy from the look of the adjutant's young lady. Shi Qi took a sip of tea, looked up at her, and said in a gentle and beautiful voice: "I am an adjutant, whatever my boss says, I will naturally do everything." Since he asked me to say this to you, he will not lie or hide anything. ”

Theresia couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in getting rich.

She naturally knew about the old things of Li's company...... If Aunt Marlene can take a 10% stake in it, the investment income will increase at least tenfold in less than five years.

Aunt Marlene, say yes...... She stared at the easy chair.

“…… The conditions are very good. Sister Marlene sighed and said sullenly, "It's a pity I don't have that much cash to use. ”

That's not a lie.

Almost all of the funds she had in hand were exchanged for materials and sent to the northwest mountains, and some time ago she was angry with Nansi because of this. Although Nance gave her the prescription, the prescription could not allow her to earn back 100 million pence in cash flow in just half a month.

Looking at her tangled look, Shi Qi smiled calmly: "The section leader said that he can call the shots and give you 10% of the shares for nothing." ”

"Huh?"

The goddess of Marlian Xiu's feelings changed.

Is that guy so generous...... Theresia looked stunned.

"The section chief has a great favor to the Li family, and it is not a big problem to ask them for 5 points of shares. On the Du family's side, he can lobby, and he can also take 5 points of shares, which can be directly transferred to Sister Ma Lian's personal name. The condition is that Sister Marlene will fund the rebuilding of the dormitory for the ninth class. Shi Qi said indifferently, and he didn't see anything unusual.

Sister Marlene was even more confused.

Those ten points of shares will be billions or even tens of billions of huge wealth in the future, how can he be willing to ......

"I'll tell you the details when he comes back." Shi Qi smiled and stood up, "I'm going to prepare for the prayer ceremony now, you have a good rest, I'll go and tell the bishop that you're not attending?" ”

"Okay."

Sister Marlene nodded mechanically.

It wasn't until Shizaki walked out of the door that she took a deep breath and made up her mind that when Nance came back, she would definitely interrogate him.

Also, Hawasaki, what the hell do you think...... Her gaze crossed the window and landed on Tokiki's back.

When she came to Shin-Yokohama, Tokizaki was fifteen years old and a cute girl who had just entered high school.

This is a very pleasant child, with a beautiful face, smooth blonde hair, and a quiet, caring and kind look in his eyes that is rare for children.

She doesn't like to play with toys, she doesn't laugh loudly, and she always behaves in a proper manner. Compared with the liveliness of her peers, she often thinks about some more profound questions, and when she can't think of it, she will ask for answers like older people, and quickly absorb it into her own knowledge.

In the convent, she never left Sister Rena's side.

Seeing the two of them together, Sister Marlene felt weird, like a mother and daughter.

Many times, when she passed by Sister Rena's house, she could see Sister Rena wearing a nun gown, with a black headscarf wrapped around her head, and sitting on the eaves of the porch knitting socks and gloves. Yuzaki was also doing some work next to him, raising his bright little eyes solemnly from time to time to listen to Sister Rena's story.

Sister Marlene had heard it a few times.

Sister Rena's calm and gentle voice always tells stories of the Holy See, such as the life of a secluded priest, a servant of God, a devout and suffering nun; She told him how some of the saints lived in deserted monasteries, how they tried to save their souls, how they endured hunger and poverty, how the birds of heaven brought them food, and how the wild beasts obeyed them; Where their blood dripped down, what kind of flowers grew.

Five years later, she grew to the age of twenty without hastiness, and was more beautiful than any nun, but she herself did not know this. Her personality has a gentle and soft side, as well as a smart and cute side, and she will be a little playful and humorous when she is with acquaintances.

In Sister Marlene's view, as she grew up, especially when she went to Lesson 9, she always observed the environment around her with a learning attitude.

She is a very intelligent girl, and all she lacks is experience.

As long as she learns with her heart, she can quickly comprehend everything and apply it in practice.

From the catastrophe in Lesson 9, to the fire in Tseung Kwan O, to the outbreak of the plague...... During these days, she has grown at an astonishing rate.

When Sister Marlene was not injured, she assisted Sister Marlene in her position, working with the rest of the nuns to discuss disaster relief measures.

Although I have occasional ideas, I am still a little immature and not thoughtful enough.

When the elderly nun points out the shortcomings, she often scratches her hair in shame, and then suddenly realizes that "Ah, I didn't think it through, but it turned out to be like this, thank you for your correction......"

At that time, she really looked like she was back in college, and she looked like a diligent and studious student.

However, after Sister Marlene was injured, she suddenly became a role that could take the lead on her own overnight.

Whether it is continuing disaster relief or the prevention and control of the plague, the forces to which the monastery belongs at this time will subconsciously ask for her opinion - presumably the big guy's performance of her efforts during this time is obvious to all.

In the face of the pressure suddenly put on her, she still maintained a very good mental outlook.

Coordinating materials, allocating manpower, formulating policies and temporary regulations, she has delivered excellent results in both big and small matters.

Her personality may have been influenced by Sister Rena, who behaved gently and modestly, was very kind to everyone, and did not lose her temper much. The people below had different opinions, and she always had a smile on her face, pursing her lips and waiting in silence. When if someone does something wrong...... She'll have a serious side too.

At the beginning of the plague, two priests went to the plague-spread area to drink in violation of the regulations, and when she returned, she went directly to the bishop and expelled the two priests from the monastery. Since then, everyone has known how tough the gentle girl's heart is, and the number of people who raised objections has decreased overnight.

Everyone understood one thing.

The young generation of oracles is about to officially come to the front of the stage.

"I underestimate you......"

Sister Marlene muttered to herself.

A strange sense of crisis quietly surfaced in her heart.

This is not because the interests of the monastery have been divided.

But...... Nance over there.

Sister Marlene had always thought that Sister Rena was Nance's favorite.

It is precisely because Sister Rena is the standard "perfect object" in the minds of men that Shizaki beside her will always be subconsciously ignored by Sister Marlene.

While chatting just now, Sister Marlene deliberately observed Shi Shizaki's expression.

To be reasonable, as the only two members of the ninth lesson, Nance wants to give up such a big share of interests, and Shi Qi must be very unhappy in his heart. But when she talked about it, her expression didn't change, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with Lesson 9.

Amid the rustling of snowflakes outside the window, Sister Marlene subconsciously licked her red lips.

The little girl who grew up listening to stories back then has now grown into a quiet and ruthless character...... The bad nun tilted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes glanced at the sky to the north, and her charming face suddenly bloomed into a stunning smile.

"Funny ......"

"Tokizaki, do you really care......"

"Let's compare, see your head of the family, and whose family will end up ......"

Looking at Aunt Marlene's suddenly bewitching smile, Theresia couldn't help but shudder.

"Someone's going to be unlucky......"

The little niece drew a cross on her chest.

- Hopefully it is Nance who is unlucky.

※※※※※

"Ahh

Nance sneezed coldly.

After returning to Shin-Yokohama, he settled the mother and daughter of the Lee family in the ninth lesson and went to Tuen Mun alone.

However, along the way, he felt more and more uneasy, and at this time, he rubbed his nose several times with a sad face.

"Shi Qi, I gave all the shares to Ma Lian, it's really just a relationship of interest, and there is no personal affection in it......"

"Marlene, I want you to pay for the dormitory to live in other women, it's really just to treat them as subordinates, and it's definitely not interesting to them......"

Talking to himself and rehearsing the conversation a few times, Nance spat disdainfully.

He didn't believe it himself.

Looking at the spire of the abbey church in the distance, Nance suddenly felt that the so-called hell was nothing more than that.

Why don't you turn around?

Go straight back to lesson 9 and get some sleep.

Can......

Rena's mother is ahead!

Nance gritted her teeth and continued on her way.

It's impossible for Miss Adjutant to hide, and he hasn't cleaned up enough of Marlene's bad woman, so how can he retreat halfway...... Besides, even if he really encounters any danger, he still has Rena's mother's gentle embrace to rely on, as long as he is alive, he will not lose!

Ask for a monthly pass.
