It was nearing the end of the year and New Year and Christmas were coming. Nie Shaohui began to think about whether he should buy some Christmas gifts for them. Nie Shaohui remembered Poison Island's Saiko telling him that her parents had gone abroad. Was she alone today? Could he invite her over for Christmas and New Year?
Nie Shaohui remembered that the Japanese New Year was on January 1st. The Japanese called December 31st the Great Obscure Day, which was New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, the Japanese called it the night before the festival. During the night, they prayed to the gods to send away the troubled old year and usher in a beautiful new year. It was called the first night. At midnight on New Year's Eve, temples in various cities and villages rang the bell 108 times to drive away evil. The Japanese sat quietly and listened to the 'night bell.' When the bell stopped, it meant the arrival of the new year. People left their seats and went to bed, hoping for a good dream. On the morning of New Year's Day, the family sat together and told each other about their dreams on New Year's Eve to predict good or bad luck. The Japanese called the first day of New Year's Day 'Zhengri.' 1--3 The day was the 'Third Congratulations Day'.
The Japanese paid special attention to the New Year. Every year, from December 29th to January 3rd, it was a national holiday. On the day of the New Year, the younger generation had to go to their parents 'place to pay a New Year's visit. After that, they would go to their relatives and friends' homes to pay a New Year's visit. The New Year was also a 'eating' festival. People of all countries would eat their own ethnic food to pray for good luck. The Japanese had a sumptuous breakfast on the day of the day. They ate sweet potato, soba noodles, and drank Tusu wine. For the next three days, he would eat vegetarian food to show his sincerity and pray for good luck in the coming year. Nowadays, most city dwellers in Japan have given up on eating vegetarian food during the new year and have instead eaten a meal of hollow noodles on the eve of the new year to wish them a healthy and long life in the new year. Recalling Japan's simple Spring Festival, China's Spring Festival was more lively and the time was different. However, since he came here, Nie Shaohui felt that he should do as the locals did.
At night. Nie Shaohui and Juchuan Shizuka were sitting at the dining table eating when Nie Shaohui said,"Sister Shizuka, are we inviting Yuuko over for Christmas and New Year?" All the elders in her family seemed to have gone abroad. She was alone that day.”
"What is it? There was only one person? What a pity. However, since Xiaohui wanted to invite the girl, he would come along. After all, the more people there were, the livelier it would be.”
"Really? That's great. I'll tell her about it during practice tomorrow.”Nie Shaohui suddenly thought of something and said,"Right, Sister Shizuka, if it's okay after school tomorrow, you can go back first. I have something to do."”
"What is it?" Kokawa Shizuka made a sad expression and said,"Oh ~~~ Xiaohui doesn't want me anymore.”
"No, it's a very important matter, but it has to be kept a secret. I'll give you a surprise when the time comes.”Nie Shaohui waved his fingers and said mysteriously.
"What is it? Can't you tell me now?" Juchuan Shizuka tilted her head with a look of anticipation. Nie Shaohui almost said it but shook his head firmly.”
"Oh, really, why isn't it working? In the past, when I used this trick, Xiaohui told me everything.”Nie Shaohui's face was full of tears when he heard Juchuan Shizuka's muttering…
·····················································
In the morning, after finishing his morning training, Nie Shaohui extended an invitation to Poison Island's Sako."Sako, come to my and Sister Shizuka's house on Christmas and New Year's Day. After all…" There was no one at home, so Nie Shaohui didn't say the rest of the words."Just take it as a few days off and thank Sako for taking care of me these days."”
Poison Island Girl thought for a moment." No problem. I'll be there on time."”
Nie Shaohui happily walked into the classroom after getting the affirmation of Poison Island's Sako. As soon as Nie Shaohui entered, a hand was placed on Nie Shaohui's shoulder. The nervous Nie Shaohui almost threw him over his shoulder but he looked up and found that it was Jing Yonghao, followed by Miyamoto Rei, Komuro Takagi, and Takagi Saya.
"Shaohui, it's almost Christmas and New Year. How are you going to spend it?" Have you prepared the gift?"
"Yes, I plan to buy it after school today, but isn't it still early? There are still ten days left." Nie Shaohui seemed to think of something. By the way, why aren't we on vacation yet? In our country, almost all the schools are on holiday when the new year is approaching.”
"Soon, there are still five days. Usually, every school has the same holidays. Our school starts on December 20th, which is two days later. Then, the school starts on January 6th of the following year.”The one who heard Nie Shaohui's question was Takagi Saya.
"Speaking of which, Shaohui is from China. What's your school like?”"Speaking of schools in our country, studying is the top priority. It's not as easy as it is here. We have to deal with various exams every day. Ai…" Nie Shaohui felt pain when he thought about it. Nie Shaohui threw this pain out of his mind and continued,"Our country's holidays are generally unified. Every year, there is a summer vacation and a winter vacation." Generally speaking, the summer vacation was about two months long, and the winter vacation was slightly shorter, about a month long.”
Hearing Nie Shaohui's words, everyone nodded in understanding…
···············································
"Welcome, sir. What kind of clothes do you want? Are you going to give it to your relatives?" In a women's clothing store, the waiter warmly said to Nie Shaohui. Nie Shaohui looked at the dazzling array of clothes and nodded. It was Nie Shaohui's first time buying a gift for a female friend and he really didn't know what to buy. The waitress looked at Nie Shaohui's hesitation and secretly smiled. This wasn't the first time she encountered this. She often encountered this situation when men came in to buy gifts or clothes for women.
Seeing this situation, the waiter kindly said," Sir, are you going to give gifts to your friends during Christmas and New Year?”Nie Shaohui awkwardly scratched his head and nodded. The waiter pointed at one of the clothes and said," What do you think of this one? It's very suitable for giving gifts.”Nie Shaohui didn't speak. He just nodded and then shook his head. Obviously, this dress didn't suit Nie Shaohui's feelings. Along the way, the waiter pointed to one and Nie Shaohui looked at it before shaking his head. Just as the waiter leading the way was talking, Nie Shaohui suddenly stopped and looked at one of the clothes because it was a kimono.
Nie Shaohui pointed at the kimono.”The waiter in front was stunned for a moment. As if he had thought of something, he secretly smiled and said with a mysterious smile," Sure."”
The waiter's smile made Nie Shaohui feel a bit strange. He looked at the pure white kimono and the purple girdle at the waist. Nie Shaohui thought it would be very suitable for the poison island girl. There was also a kimono with golden stripes. Nie Shaohui felt that it was very suitable for the hair color of Juchuan Shizuka.
"Alright, I'll take these two." Then, she pointed at the white and gold-striped kimono." I'm planning to give it as a gift, so please help me wrap it.”
"Alright, no problem." Then Nie Shaohui left the clothing store under the mysterious smiles of the staff. Nie Shaohui looked at the smiles of the shop assistants and felt a bit strange.”Nie Shaohui couldn't think of a reason but he didn't understand…
·················································
As the students looked forward to it, they finally welcomed their own vacation. From the 20th to the 6th of January, there were a total of 18 days. On the second day after the holiday, Nie Shaohui invited the lonely Poison Island girl to Juchuan Shizuka's home. Poison Island Sako, who was not wearing her school uniform or training clothes, was wearing casual clothes. Poison Island's prostitute was dressed in beautiful casual wear, making her face even more beautiful. Nie Shaohui was a bit stunned. This was the first time he saw her dressed like this.
Poison Island's girl saw Nie Shaohui staring at her in a daze and a faint blush appeared on her face.”Nie Shaohui unconsciously touched his face and found it rude to stare at him. He awkwardly scratched his head and said,"Nothing. I just didn't expect you to dress so beautifully today."”
When Nie Shaohui and Poison Island Saiko walked through the door, they first saw the busy Juchuan Shizuka. Nie Shaohui's face darkened when he saw that Juchuan Shizuka's head was covered in ribbons and the room's decorations were messy. Nie Shaohui sighed helplessly.”
"Hehe, you're here. Come in quickly.”Juchuan Shizuka didn't consciously greet the two of them. Seeing this situation, Poison Island Girl looked at Nie Shaohui with a strange expression. Nie Shaohui could only laugh a few times. "Sister Shizuka, didn't I tell you to wait for me and Yuuko to come?”Nie Shaohui said helplessly.
"Is that so? How could I not know? I just wanted to give you a surprise.”Juchuan Shizuka said.
"It's indeed surprising enough." Nie Shaohui sighed helplessly."Ai ~ Really, the more I help, the more trouble I get…" Poison Island Girl obviously knew what kind of person Juchuan Shizuka was, so when she saw Nie Shaohui organizing the props, Poison Island Girl also started to help Nie Shaohui organize them.
Nie Shaohui first removed the ribbon from Juchuan Shizuka's head.”Hearing Nie Shaohui's words, Juchuan Shizuka protested,"No, Xiaohui is a child."”
Nie Shaohui ignored Juchuan Shizuka's protest and said to Poison Island Sako,"Let's dress up together. I hope we can have the happiest New Year this year."”It was also the last New Year…
