Chapter 182 181. Christmas and Birthdays
Five p.m.

ding dong~
The two of them, who were lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV together, heard the doorbell ringing from the entrance.

"Is my mother here? I'll open the door."

Kurose Izumi withdrew his arm from Shiraishi Chirei's shoulder, got up and walked to the entrance, and opened the door.

Behind the door is the still beautiful and dignified mother——Baishi Ailian.

"Long time no see, Mr. Quan." Baishi's mother greeted with a smile.

"Long time no see, mother, how are you doing?"

"very good."

"I can rest assured that……"

After chatting with each other, Baishi's mother walked into the entrance and changed into her indoor shoes.

She looked away from Izumi Kurose, and saw Chirei Shiraishi on the sofa in the living room at a glance.

At this time, Baishi Qianlian also stood up and said hello: "Mother, long time no see."

"Well, long time no see."

Baishi's mother nodded, and said again: "Seeing that you are living a happy life, I am relieved."

If it was Kurose Izumi and Shiraishi Chirei, wouldn't they make the same mistake as her?
Even if their child is as indifferent as Shiraishi Qianrei, they will definitely warm him.

"Oh, by the way, this is a gift for the two of you."

Mother Shiraishi seemed to remember something suddenly, and while she was talking, she took out two gift boxes tied with beautiful ribbons from the bag she was carrying.

"Thank you mother."

The two reached out to take it and thanked each other.

After that, they also went back to the room and took out the presents they were going to give to Shiraishi's mother.

What Izumi Kurose gave was a hand-woven scarf.

For this reason, he also asked Shiraishi Qianlian a lot for advice.

But even so, he seriously spent more than ten hours on weaving!
What Shiraishi Qianrei gave was a female belt.

Baishi's mother took the scarf and said in surprise, "Ah, Mr. Quan, did you weave this by yourself?"

"Well, I wove it myself." Izumi Kurose nodded with a smile.

"Qian Lian won't be jealous, right? Hmph." Shiraishi's mother glanced at Baishi Qianlian, and smiled like a girl.

"Mother, don't be like this..."

On the contrary, Kurose Izumi couldn't smile, but looked troubled.

Indeed, Shiraishi Qianlian was very dissatisfied with his decision to give Shiraishi's mother a scarf.

This is because he talked about what is good or bad, so he persuaded Shiraishi Qianlian.

Well, Shiraishi Qianrei is just so jealous.

"I'm sorry, I was too mean-spirited."

"No... there is no need to apologize."

After exchanging gifts, it was time to make dinner.

Since I have a lot of cooking to do tonight, I have to start preparing now.

Seeing the two walking towards the kitchen, Baishi's mother said, "Shall I help you?"

"No, no, no!" Kurose Izumi waved his hands quickly, "You just need to sit down, and Qian Lian and I will do."

"Are you afraid I'll mess it up? Don't look at me like this, I'm still very good at cooking, okay?"

"Do not……"

When Kurose Izumi was still about to refuse, Shiraishi Qianrei suddenly said: "Izumi, you can let your mother do it, if she wants to do it, let her do it."

"This……"

Kuroseizumi glanced at Shiraishi Qianre, and sighed softly: "Okay, let's go together."

"Hmph, it's better to be Qian Lian, who will help mom~" Baishi's mother clasped her hands together, with a gentle smile on her face.

"...I just don't want to spend time on this meaningless entanglement."

"Quan Jun, is this arrogant?"

"Probably, I don't really understand..."

After that, the three of them walked into the kitchen and started preparing dinner.

Shiraishi Chirei and her mother are in charge of cooking, while Kurose Izumi is on the sidelines.

First of all, Kurose Izumi cooked the eel which was still very vigorous and gave it a good time.

Remove the head, cut it from the back and abdomen, clean the internal organs and blood, and trim some unnecessary sebum.

In this way, this eel is processed within 5 minutes and placed in a clean bowl for later use.

Then, I started washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and then cutting meat and vegetables...

On the other side, Shiraishi's mother came to the kitchen stove, set up a soup pot, and made seafood miso soup first.

Such is the eating custom of the island country, and miso soup is an indispensable dish for every meal.

After all, it is easy to make, tastes good, and there are many ways to make it, all depending on personal preference.

After putting all the seasonings for the miso soup, Shiraishi's mother started the next dish - tonkatsu!

The pork chops are coated with low-fat flour and deep-fried twice in hot oil to ensure that the pork chops are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

The last step is to prepare the sauce. Put soy sauce, mirin, sugar, water, salt, and black pepper sauce into the pot and cook until thick, then take it out and set aside.

While Shiraishi's mother was concentrating on cooking, Shiraishi Qianrei was not idle.

She took out the sliced ​​and marinated eel, ready to fry.

The first step is to pour an appropriate amount of oil into the pan, and shake it from side to side for a while to ensure that the rain and dew are evenly coated, so that it will not stick to the pan when frying.

After the pot is heated up, put the eel divided into two sections.

At that moment, the sound of 'sizzling' sounded, and the oil stains splashed in all directions, bouncing around.

Shiraishi Qianrei has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and she doesn't hide from the splash of oil stains. After all, there is nothing wrong with it when it hits it, except that it will feel hot for a moment.

When one side is golden, turn the eel over and continue frying.

Her hand is very light, trying to keep the fish sticky, so that it remains intact.

After frying the fish until golden, Chirei Shiraishi put the eel on a plate and drizzled it with black pepper sauce.

While Shiraishi and Shiraishi were doing things in an orderly manner, Kurose Izumi's side was also going smoothly.

After processing the ingredients, he became idle and started to roast the turkey.

"Hum hum hum~"

Izumi Kurose hummed a light tune, and carefully covered the whole body of the turkey with honey and seasonings with a brush.

He then puts the turkey in the oven for four to 10 minutes before taking it out.

Time passed by every minute, and at 06:30 in the evening, all the dishes were ready!

On the dining table, a bright red turkey is placed in the middle, and other dishes are arranged in an orderly manner.

"Merry Christmas."

The three raised their glasses of juice, bumped each other, and drank it up.

This scene is full of warmth and happiness.

"Quan, open your mouth."

Chirei Shiraishi picked up a piece of tempura fried shrimp, opened her small mouth slightly, and blew it gently to cool it down.

"Ah~"

Kurose Izumi ate it in one bite, it was not hot and had a good taste.

Seeing this scene, Baishi's mother rubbed her face with one hand and said with a smile, "I'm really envious, I want to feed Mr. Quan too."

"Cough cough!"

Kurose Izumi, who was happily eating Shiraishi Chirei, suddenly choked.

Immediately, he smiled bitterly and said, "Don't, don't be joking, mother."

"I'm not kidding? Seriously."

Baishi's mother laughed so hard that people couldn't tell whether it was real or not.

Shiraishi Qianlian pursed her cherry lips, but said nothing.

But then, she did something even more extreme, as if she was showing off!
I saw Baishi Qianlian picked up another piece of shrimp, half of it was eaten in his mouth, and the other part was exposed.

She kept such a posture, stood up, and silently leaned towards Kurose Izumi!
"Hey, mom is still here!"

Seeing this, Kurose Izumi subconsciously tilted his head back and glanced at Shiraishi's mother on the opposite side.

But it's useless to watch.

Because Baishi's mother was smiling, as if watching the excitement was not a big deal.

"Hmm?"

Shiraishi Qianlian bit the fried shrimp, hummed and chirped, with a questioning look in her eyes.

"...All right, I'll eat."

Kurose Izumi suppressed his shame, opened his mouth with numb scalp, bit the other half and ate it.

At that moment, he felt so brave that he actually showed his affection in front of his girlfriend's mother!

"Hum~"

Shiraishi Qianlian laughed happily, and glanced sideways at her mother, with complacency in her eyes.

But instead of being unhappy with her appearance, Shiraishi's mother found it very cute.

Because before she knew Kurose Izumi, she would not have made such a move.

"Oh, I really can't stand you..."

Kurose Izumi sighed helplessly, leaned back and sat down again.

Fortunately, Shiraishi Qianren didn't ask to do this anymore, but was honest.

It looks like you should be satisfied, right?
In this way, he also felt relieved and indulged in this rare and warm time.

Time flow, back to 05:30 in the afternoon.

Location - Tokyo, Bunkyo Ward.

Ding dong ding dong~
A petite girl stood in front of an apartment and rang the doorbell.

"I'm coming……"

With the sound coming from inside, a burst of footsteps sounded, gradually approaching.

After a few seconds, the door was opened, and Gu Jianhui, who was wearing home clothes, leaned out half of her body.

"Come in, Inari-san, it's cold outside."

When she saw the petite girl standing outside the door, she showed a smile and hurriedly beckoned her in.

"Well, excuse me~"

Inariyuki nodded, followed inside, and changed into shoes at the entrance.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time... Ah yes, this is a gift from the teacher."

As Gu Jianhui said, he walked to the coffee table and took out a pink box.

"Thank you teacher! I also have a gift for the teacher!"

After Inari Yuki happily took it, she took out the box from the small bag on her shoulder.

Gu Jianhui took it with a smile and asked, "Can I open it now?"

"Of course."

So, both of them opened the presents from each other.

Gu Jianhui sent a plush doll and a pink bow.

What Inariyuki gave was a scarf and a pair of gloves—she knitted them herself.

"Thank you so much!"

Gu Jianhui opened his eyes wide, looking at the gift in his hand, obviously very happy.

It can be seen that it is hand-woven.

"Hehe~"

After Inariyuki smiled playfully, she took out the bow tie: "Teacher, can you tie it on for me?"

"Of course."

Gu Jianhui put the gift away, took the bow from Inariyuki's hand, and tied it to her collar.

After tying it up, she looked her up and down, smiled softly, and said, "Well, it's so cute, I knew it would suit you."

"Hey, the teacher is also very cute, do you want me to wear a scarf for the teacher?"

"is it okay?"

"Of course~ Teacher, don't be polite to me."

After Inariyuki finished speaking, she took the scarf and put it on for Komi Kei.

While winding round and round, they are extremely close to each other.

How close is it?

Close enough to be close at hand, close enough to feel each other's warm breath.

"Well, the teacher is also very cute and beautiful."

After Inari Snow was completed, she raised a lively and bright smile.

Seeing this, Gu Jianhui couldn't bear it any longer, hugged Inari Xue, and kissed her.

They were face to face, body to body.

"Inari-san is so cute!"

Gu Jianhui hugged the soft and warm Inari Snow, thinking that it would be nice to stick to the fragrant and soft girl.

Inariyuki hugged her back and said, "Teacher, just call me Xue when I'm alone."

"Ah...haven't gotten used to it yet, Student Xue."

"Students don't have to."

"……Snow."

"I'm here, teacher."

After holding each other tenderly for a while, the two walked into the kitchen together to prepare dinner.

Gu Jianhui came to do it, and Inariyuki helped.

After all, Inariyuki is not very good at cooking, she can only make simple miso soup and fried eggs.

Gu Jianhui held the kitchen knife and handled the bought ingredients neatly.

Then, she glanced at Inari Yuki who was concentrating on helping her, and tentatively asked, "Xue, is it okay if you don't spend Christmas with your family?"

"Teacher, don't you want to spend time with me?" Inariyuki responded aloud, while still lowering her head, cutting the ingredients.

"No, no, no! How is that possible!" Gu Jianhui quickly vetoed it.

"That's it, the teacher is alone, and I will definitely accompany the teacher." After Inariyuki said, she raised her head and showed a slightly shy smile.

"Xue, you are so kind!"

A warm current surged through Gu Jianhui's heart, and that pretty oval face was brimming with joy.

"Hey, the teacher is also very good! She is very cute, beautiful and gentle."

"It's not as good as you said~"

The two talked and laughed, and after an hour, dinner was ready.

Since there are two people and both are girls, I don't do much.

On the coffee table, there are miso soup with clams and prawns, fried chicken, vegetable salad, and grilled salmon.

"Ah~"

Inari Yuki picked up a piece of fried chicken and sent it to Gu Jianhui's mouth.

"It's a little embarrassing..."

After Gu Jianhui smiled shyly, she obediently accepted her kindness.

"I want to feed the snow too."

"Okay, I want to eat salmon~"

"Here, it's so cute..."

"Teacher, will you go shopping later?" Inariyuki suggested softly after eating the salmon.

"Okay, where does Xue want to go?" Gu Jianhui nodded with a smile, his eyes softened.

"Go to the Lantern Festival! Buy, buy, buy!"

"Okay, then go to the Lantern Festival and do some shopping."

"The teacher is the best~ I like the teacher the most~"

"...I also like snow the most."

Seeing Inariyuki showing a lovely smile, Gu Jianhui's eyes softened unconsciously.

At the same time, her inner voice was unconsciously revealed.
