While Kaede Shirakawa was worried about today's dinner, the car quickly stopped under a high-end apartment building in Setagaya Ward.

"It's here" Asuka Kobayashi opened the car door and got out of the car first.

Kaede Shirakawa also followed behind her and got out of the car.

"It turns out that Kobayashi-san lives here."

As night falls, the entire glass curtain wall facing the street of the apartment is lit up with a grid of lights.

There are flower shops, pastry shops, and coffee shops on both sides of the street, although it is not as bustling as the street you just saw outside.

However, it has a slightly quiet atmosphere, clean ground, and well-organized flowers and plants.

All of this shows that this is a high-class neighborhood.

To be honest, this was the first time he had come to Asuka Kobayashi's apartment.

Shirakawa Kaede, who was crossed on his waist, turned around and looked around carefully before satisfying the curiosity in his heart.

"Apartment, so curious?" Asuka Kobayashi was amused by his curious baby look.

"After all, it's the first time I've come" The cheeky Shirakawa Kaede didn't feel anything wrong at all.

"Let's go" Asuka Kobayashi smiled and let him go.

"Wait," Shirakawa Kaede's fluttering voice came from behind him.

"Eh" Kobayashi Asuka turned her head when she heard the sound, but there was still his shadow.

Just when she was surprised, the figure of Shirakawa Kaede in the store not far away reappeared.

But unlike just now, he already had an extra bouquet in his hand at this time.

"Give" Shirakawa Kaede, who was still panting, sent the bouquet in his hand forward.

"Merry Christmas, Asuka-chan."

Asuka Kobayashi looked at Shirakawa Kaede in a daze, his rapidly heaving chest clearly visible in the night.

She stretched out her white fingers and brushed them over the bouquet, red roses, white tulips, pink stars and dotted Christmas leaves.

The fragrance lingers, and the style shakes.

"Thank you" Asuka Kobayashi took the bouquet, and the smile on her face added more tenderness than the bouquet in her hand.

She leaned closer to the tip of her nose and sniffed, the smile on her lips becoming more and more flattering.

"This is the first time I've received tweed from someone else."

"Eh" Shirakawa Kaede turned his eyes in some surprise, but what he saw was still her carefully holding flowers.

Shirakawa Kaede suddenly found that he didn't seem to know as much about Asuka Kobayashi as he imagined.

"Alright, let's go in first."

Asuka Kobayashi held flowers in both hands, and led the way in front with brisk steps.

Shirakawa Kaede let go of the thoughts in his heart, looked at her back and smiled, and also stepped to follow.

Just across the street from where they had just stood, in a café by the window.

A middle-aged man with a cup of coffee watched all this silently.

Seeing their backs going upstairs, the middle-aged man frowned slightly.

Is this the young lady's love interest? It always feels familiar.

The mountain put down the coffee in his hand, picked up the pen and recorded something in the notebook at hand.

"Please come in" Asuka Kobayashi turned on the light at the entrance, and turned sideways to signal Shirakawa Kaede to go first.

"Excuse me" Shirakawa Kaede finished changing his slippers and walked into the living room curiously.

Sure enough, it was almost as imagined, very luxurious configuration, comparable to his house in Minato.

"I didn't expect the place where Xiaolin's classmates live to be so stylish." Shirakawa Kaede stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and quietly looked out the window.

Downstairs is a park, and you can see pedestrians walking under scattered lights.

Further away in the park seems to be a temple-like place, and standing inside the house, Shirakawa Kaede seems to be able to hear the faint sound of a bell.

In addition, there are art museums, signboards of century-old shops, and rows of cherry trees on the street.

I guess it's even more beautiful in spring.

"It's quieter here, lying in bed early on a morning off and listening to the occasional bell from afar, and you feel an inexplicable peace of mind at that moment."

At some point, Asuka Kobayashi was already holding her arms and standing beside him.

"Just listening to it gives me a sense of calm."

Standing here looking out the window, feeling the environment she lived in, Shirakawa Kaede felt as if he was getting closer to her.

This sense of shortened distance has nothing to do with the tacit understanding of peacetime.

It's a step forward on another level, just like it is now.

The two stood quietly together, quietly looking out the window.

Although there was no verbal exchange, they seemed to be able to feel each other's thoughts in the haze.

Standing, distracted, until a certain moment of unanimous gaze meets.

They looked at each other and smiled, and their minds returned.

"Ding Dong~"

The crisp sound of the doorbell, like a stone falling into the water, makes the quiet atmosphere ripple.

"Dinner is coming" Asuka Kobayashi smiled mysteriously, and then walked to the door outside the entrance.

"Eh", this. Shirakawa Kaede was slightly surprised.

Sure enough, when Asuka Kobayashi returned, she was followed by a waitress in a dress and bow tie.

He held two plates of unknown dishes covered by the canopy, and after bowing, he gently placed them on the table, then removed the canopy and left quietly.

But that's not all, the waiter who had just quit soon walked in with a plate again.

And so on until the large dining table was half set, and then he bowed and bowed his head and left.

The good guy turned out to be an outsourced service, and Shirakawa Kaede, who was at a loss, was still worried about today's dinner.

"If you say yes, you have to entertain Shirakawa-kun well, of course, you have to book it in advance."

Kobayashi Asuka looked at the stunned Shirakawa Kaede with a smile, with indescribable pride and cunning on her face.

Ms. Ben doesn't know how to cook, but she can deliver food at a high-end restaurant.

"It was unexpected." Shirakawa Kaede laughed dumbly, he had forgotten the existence of the money ability.

"Then Shirakawa-kun, please."

Seeing her with a somewhat mischievous smile, Shirakawa Kaede unconsciously smiled.

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

Undan with jellyfish, grilled fish pieces, wakatake sauce, sea bream sashimi, matsutake mushroom soup, prawn tempura, small mushroom tofu miso soup, and white rice.

It's quite hearty, and Shirakawa Kaede's appetite for exquisite cuisine is great.

"Now, don't forget this."

At this time, Asuka Kobayashi didn't know where to come from, and took out a bottle of sobered red wine.

"Hmm~ Christmas should indeed be celebrated."

Shirakawa Kaede uncorked the wine with a corkscrew, and then poured a little into each of the glasses in front of the two of them.

A rosy wine that shimmers in the light.

"Merry Christmas~"

"Merry Christmas~"

Ding, the refreshing aroma of wine blooms in the mouth. The two looked at each other, and their smiles spread across their faces with the aroma of wine.

"Shirakawa-kun, do you know, this is the first time I've spent Christmas with someone other than my family."

Shirakawa Kaede stretched out his chopsticks for a moment, "Coincidentally, so am I." ”

Asuka Kobayashi seemed to think of the experience that he had said in the car that he had never experienced Christmas.

When I heard this sentence again at this moment, I couldn't help but giggle.

"That's great."

"Hey, what's there to be happy about?"

"I just think it's amazing, maybe it's fate."

"Then for the sake of fate, let's have another drink."

"Okay, cheers~"

"Cheers~"

The two of them are like this, you have a cup and I have a cup. Half an hour later, the food on the table and the wine in the bottle were almost consumed at the same time.

"Hmm~ very full" Asuka Kobayashi leaned back on the chair without any image, drunkenly rubbing her belly.

Seeing her like this for the first time, Shirakawa Kaede couldn't help laughing.

In the dim light, her originally fair face was already red.

The tip of the delicate nose seems to be covered with fine beads of sweat, shining slightly in the light.

Seeing this, Shirakawa Kaede couldn't help but laugh again, but it was a little cute.

"Eh" Hearing Shirakawa Kaede's laughter, Asuka Kobayashi looked over drunkenly.

Shaking his head, Shirakawa Kaede got up and went to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot water, and by the way, he also took a wet paper towel for her.

However, before the hands were withdrawn, a wobble figure leaned against him.

"Shirakawa-kun~"

Long eyelashes, big black eyes, close at hand.

Shirakawa Kaede put down what she was holding, and gently wrapped her arms around her soft waist.

The blush on Asuka Kobayashi's face seemed to be getting more and more intoxicating, and she stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to approach him.

The tips of each other's noses touched each other's hearts, and each other's hearts trembled slightly.

The figures parted, and Asuka Kobayashi wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her forehead against his chest.

"Really, I like it so much, Shirakawa-kun~"

The weak voice with a hint of satisfaction came into Shirakawa Kaede's ears flutteringly.

The inner surge can no longer be suppressed, and the previous concerns are no longer a stumbling block to action.

For Asuka Kobayashi, he always thought too much before, but who can always keep his sanity when the love is strong.

After all, I'm a sensual animal.

The bedroom door was closed, and he was left in the empty living room, in the endless night, gradually falling silent.

In the early morning, in the melodious sound of the bell, Shirakawa Kaede opened his misty eyes.

It took him a while to get used to it before he remembered where he was.

Tsk, the stamina of red wine is so great, and his head is still slightly swollen until now.

Turning his head, Asuka Kobayashi was staring at him intently with big black eyes.

"Eh" Shirakawa Kaede, who was taken aback, subconsciously straightened his back.

"When did you wake up?" It's still weird and scary to open your eyes early in the morning and see others staring at you.

"Just now" Asuka Kobayashi moved forward slightly with a happy smile on her face.

Shirakawa Kaede took advantage of the situation to take her into his arms, buried the tip of his nose in her hair, and took a deep breath.

Well, it's the taste of happiness.

"That's nice."

"Yes."

skin to skin, her softness makes Shirakawa Kaede ready to move again.

Asuka Kobayashi gave him the feeling of water, both physically and psychologically.

It's hard to refuse, and I'm willing to get caught up in it.

"Just stay here with me today, okay if you don't go anywhere?"

"Good"
