On the night of the Great Dawn (neon Chinese New Year's Eve), many people choose to ring the bell in a temple closer to their home, which is said to be a way to relieve New Year's troubles.

There are three places in Tokyo that locals frequented for New Year's Eve: Sensoji Temple, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Zojoji Temple.

But this time, Nao Tsuda took Aochigen to Prince Inari Shrine.

On this year's Day, Prince Inari is said to have recreated the scene of a fox coming to the shrine for the first time.

It is called the Prince Fox Dream Ranks.

In the previous life, this activity began in 1993.

Since this time.

The Prince Fox Parade has become a famous New Year's Eve event in Tokyo.

Young people prefer to go to Oji Inari Shrine more than anywhere else.

……

At night, Seong Chi Won and Nao Tsuda, who were dressed in traditional costumes, held hands, and when they came here, they were already crowded.

It is said that 30 million people go to the temple every year to ring the bell on the night of the Great Dark Day.

One can imagine what a grand scene it was.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but be a little speechless.

If it were in China, he would probably stay in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala and then go to bed at 0:00.

The stars in the sky.

It's like a myriad of lanterns hanging from the ground.

The streets are mostly filled with people dressed in antique traditional costumes.

Qing Zhiyuan was in it, and suddenly had an illusion-

It's as if you've traveled back in time again from 1990 to ancient times.

After buying a box of fried squid balls at a small stall, Sei Chi Won and Nao Tsuda walked down the street along the crowd with excitement on their faces.

"Tsuda-san, don't you feel cold?"

Qing Zhiyuan glanced at Tsuda next to him and asked suspiciously.

I don't understand that a neon woman is wearing a kimono in such a deep winter, and the collar and cuffs are actually quite large, isn't it cold?

"Big husband."

Nao Tsuda smiled, "I have a warm baby inside." ”

Whoosh.

I see.

Qing Zhiyuan nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

Still, he reached out and hugged Tsuda tighter.

The latter was only slightly stunned, raised his head and looked at Qing Zhiyuan's unruly and angular jawline with peach blossom eyes, and couldn't help but purse his lips and reveal a happy smile.

Without any resistance, Nao Tsuda gently leaned towards Seo Chi Won, leaning on his shoulder.

……

After a while, the queue of foxes that was about to depart could already be seen.

At the front are two young ladies wearing fox masks and kimonos.

Judging by the figure, I know that it must be very cute.

"Want to join?" Seeing this, Qing Zhiyuan asked Nao Tsuda beside him cordially.

"What do you think?" The other party blinked his beautiful eyes, as if he could catch a glimpse of the stars in these amber eyes.

"You just have an idea. I listen to you. Tsuda said.

“ok。 Then let's try it, once in a while. ”

Qing Zhiyuan is quite happy.

On the first big day after the crossing, if you can still participate in the fox queue.

"Yes, if you want to join, you only need to pay 1,000 yen." The young lady wearing the fox mask said, "Then we will have someone to put on your makeup and hair fox masks." ”

……

After putting on their makeup, the two men looked at each other and laughed at each other.

After wearing red eyeshadow and raising the tail of her eyes, Nao Tsuda has become more charming and charming, although her face is still delicate and full of innocence.

"It's getting more and more like a fox." Qing Zhiyuan let out a sigh.

"What?" Tsuda glared at him with disgust.

"I'm complimenting you, it's as beautiful as Tamamo mae."

"How can anyone boast like this?" Nao Tsuda muttered, pursed her lips and laughed coquettishly.

……

Duang！

At 12 o'clock.

A huge bell rang and the crowd cheered.

It indicates that 1990 is already in the past, and now the time has come to 1991.

Duang！

Duang！

The bell rang deafeningly, and when it was struck like this, it shook the brain empty, and there was no more trouble.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the neon people were coming to ring the bell on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Seriously, whether it's a fox queue or a bell, it's actually very ritualistic.

Everyone dressed in traditional costumes is perfect for welcoming the new year in such a strange but romantic and traditional atmosphere.

……

After the bell ringing event, it was already past 2 o'clock in the morning.

Qing Zhiyuan still feels unfinished.

Holding Nao Tsuda's hand and strolling along the ramp where the cold plum blossoms bloom, I only felt that my whole body was shrouded in happiness.

Yes~

If only I could continue to join the fox queue with Tsuda next year.

"Let's ~ come back next year." Qing Zhiyuan said.

Tsuda was stunned for a moment, then glanced back at him.

"Who knows." Nao Tsuda raised an eyebrow, turned her eyes back to the front, and said lightly, "The future is too far away for anyone to predict." What I want to do most is to grasp the moment. ”

Qing Zhiyuan frowned, not looking very satisfied with her answer.

"Qingsang, what do you think?"

"I ......" Qing Zhiyuan blinked, "The present is important, but without the expectation of tomorrow, the present will lose its meaning." Isn't hope beautiful because it exists in the future? ”

Tsuda smiled noncommittally.

I don't know if it's Qing Zhiyuan's illusion, he seems to have seen a moment of loneliness on the face of this fox woman.

……

Sending Nao Tsuda downstairs to the apartment again, Qing Zhiyuan waved goodbye.

"Eurasian Smith."

Turning to leave, a hand reached out and grabbed him.

Qing Zhiyuan turned around.

Nao Tsuda's delicate and cute face was facing him, and her big eyes were extremely charming with fox makeup.

"Will you go back tonight?" Tsuda's eyes flickered.

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan was a little at a loss for a while.

Or else?

"Inconvenient, right? There are two girls in the house. Nao Tsuda hesitated and said, "Sleep with me." ”

"Huh?"

……

"Is that really good?"

Qing Zhiyuan asked in disbelief after entering the door.

Not to mention this door, he had never even stepped through the door of the apartment.

It's like Lei Chi, which has been domesticated for too long before, and Qing Zhiyuan seems to feel that it is a bottom line that can never be touched.

But now, he is standing in Nao Tsuda's house in a good manner.

Oh yes!

It turned out that there were women in the house.

Yes!

Thanks to Ishino and Ayase, without them, I wouldn't be here.

Thinking about it this way-

The fox in front of him was also jealous?

If I wasn't worried about what would happen when I went back, I guess I wouldn't have taken me upstairs, right?

"Yes." Nao Tsuda smiled and took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet to change into.

"Qingsang, there are no men's slippers at home, just feel comfortable, just barefoot."

"Okay." Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

At the same time, his eyes were looking at the room.

This apartment is also one of the most exclusive apartments in Tokyo, about 100 square meters, luxurious Japanese decoration, smooth and clean wooden floors, and a faint fragrance wafting from the room.

……

After putting hot water on Qing Zhiyuan, Nao Tsuda went to remove her makeup by herself.

By the time he came out of the shower, Tsuda had already laid out the two quilts on the ground, an arm's length from each other.

Seeing this, Qing Zhiyuan's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment.

Yes~

I didn't expect that even if I entered the house, I would still have to sleep separately.

Qing Zhiyuan still hates the habit of neon floors, if there is only one bed, won't he be able to lie on the bed naturally?

No, not necessarily.

I don't know if I'll let him sleep on the couch.

There's no way, Qing Zhiyuan is not the kind of man who uses strength, wait and see when Nao Tsuda can open the lock.

He didn't bother with it so much, and got into the quilt by himself.

Smelling the fragrance coming from above, Qing Zhiyuan fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took for Nao Tsuda to finish washing, blow dry her hair, and burrow into the futon next door.

Qing Zhiyuan turned to the side, put his hand under the pillow, and looked at Tsuda for a long time.

The other party also looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

"Good night Qingsang." Nao Tsuda whispered.

"Good night." Qing Zhiyuan responded.

He closed his eyes, simmering sleepy.

My mind is full of the appearance of Nao Tsuda's fox makeup today.

……

After a while, Qing Zhiyuan heard a rustling sound, and followed Tsuda into his bed.

The woman's hand hugged Qing Zhiyuan.

The atmosphere suddenly became hot.

Soft lips pressed up.

Qing Zhiyuan kissed greedily.

"Qingsang."

"Call me Zhiyuan."

"Qingsang. Believe it or not, this is my first time. Tsuda said seriously.

"Huh?"

……

……
