Chapter 55 Spring Festival (Part )

"Hey, Lixiang, are you back?"

"Ah."

The black-haired girl answered softly.

She put her things away, sat down in the living room, and waited for Chen Ling to finish cooking all the dishes.

The home is still decorated as usual, the aroma of food is lingering in the air, and there is a calendar on the living room table that Rika Rika cannot understand.

The few English words above reveal no other information.

After Chen Ling finished her work, Lixiang went to wash her hands, wash the dishes and serve rice.

She didn't change out of her school uniform after returning home today. She sat upright opposite Chen Ling with a very dignified look.

"I'm starting. (Japanese)"

Chen Ling has now also learned the classic opening ceremony before meals.

When in town, do as the Romans do.

"Did Lixiang hang out with her classmates after school today?"

Chen Ling was the talkative one at the dinner table.

There's nothing I can do about it, the boring lady often doesn't speak.

As usual, the naive Lixiang selectively ignored Chen Ling's problem.

This approach is generally the default.

Chen Ling stared at her bowl and chopsticks for a while, and then couldn't help but glance at her lips.

"Chen Ling."

"Ok?"

"Do you want to eat? (Japanese)"

Lixiang stopped using her chopsticks and actually stretched out her bowl to show Chen Ling.

???

Beautiful girl’s food~Who wants it?

Offer high price...

"No, that's not what I meant. Don't get me wrong."

"Then have a good meal."

"receive."

Hey, it's not like I haven't stared at her like this before. Why does it seem to make her unhappy today?
  Is it because you haven’t finished your meal yet?
  So Chen Ling speeded up and showed off three bowls of rice in succession under the eyes of the eldest lady.

Small bowl.

Then put down the chopsticks.

Sister Lixiang really has no reason to find trouble anymore.

"Lixiang, actually..."

Chen Ling looked like he was hesitating to speak.

"Ok?"

"Forget it, it's nothing, you can eat."

Although he hates it when others only speak half of what they say, who is not a double-standard dog?
  In fact, he wanted to ask the eldest lady if she would mind posting some things at home, couplets, paper-cuts, etc. Without these, it would be a bad year.

But this is not his home, and the owner’s opinion must be sought.

But... I can't say bad words.

What if she doesn't want to think about it?
  The items bought yesterday and posted on the walls, doors and windows, as well as the New Year's goods, are still in Chen Ling's room.

The ingredients are in the freezer.

According to the lunar calendar, the day after tomorrow is the Spring Festival.

For an unconventional leather wearer like Chen Ling, it is really difficult to spend the Spring Festival in Tokyo.

Forget it, you can make dinner more substantial and stick things everywhere so that they are not easy to tear off later. This house is probably not cheap, and Chen Ling can't afford to pay for it.

Before he started asking, Chen Ling had already paved a way out for himself.

As a result, Chen Ling couldn't say it until Rika Shona put down her chopsticks and whispered "Thank you for the hospitality" in a low voice.

It's not that he doesn't dare to say it's difficult, but isn't this actually a kind of cultural invasion?

Invading the eldest lady’s cultural comfort zone.

She got up, cleared the dishes and put them in the sink.

"Chen Ling."

Sister Lixiang called her a bit too many times today.

"What's the matter?"

"The day after tomorrow will be the Spring Festival."

For this word, Jina Lixiang also specifically used Chen Ling's hometown dialect in order to understand it. Although it is not as familiar as "Chen Ling" and "Fuck", it can be regarded as passing.

"Ah? Yes! But...how does Lixiang know?"

This was beyond Chen Ling's knowledge.

"What I learned before was from my family."

Is there any connection between the Zhiming family and Chen Ling's hometown?
  However, the days of the lunar calendar are a little different every year. Do these young ladies know it all?
  The black-haired girl tied her hair into a ponytail and squeezed a little transparent dish soap onto her slender hands. She turned her head slightly, as if looking at Chen Ling behind her.

"Chen Ling can't pass the Spring Festival?"

Huh? Although he was confused, Chen Ling nodded simply.

"Yes! Of course! But Lixiang doesn't mind?"

"Ah."

The black-haired girl shook her head, and Chen Ling glanced at the delicate back of her neck.

What should I do if I feel a little astringent for no reason?
  No, staying power meat...should be the goal.

Although words are cherished like gold, the eldest lady was really kind to him, Chen Ling. I was so touched.

Thank you, Sister Lixiang, for giving me a real feeling of being at home.

The porcelain in the sink made a crisp sound as it collided with each other.

"Then do you know about paper-cutting? Papercutting."

Chen Ling pointed to the window.

"Understood."

"Would it be harmful to the house if I put something up there...?"

Rika Shona was silent for a few seconds, seeming to be thinking.

"This apartment is not for rent."

……walk slowly.

You are the eldest lady and I will hang out with you.

"Then I just let it go and do it?"

"Ah."

Miss Lixiang competes at the top!
  Chen Ling went back to the room and moved out a lot of things he had bought to post.

"Then, can we pause tonight's study?"

The eldest lady is carefully wiping the water off the tableware and putting it into the cabinets.

She didn't answer, wiped her hands, looked at the bag of red things Chen Ling put on the table, and walked to the master bedroom.

"Hey, what are you going to do?"

"Change."

Wearing school uniform at home does seem a bit strange.

However, the eldest lady's figure is very eye-catching, and the pleated skirt sways, making it reach Chen Ling's heart.

……

It had been a while since Lixiang had returned to her room. Chen Ling had posted the blessing on her door first. The effect was best on the first room where the blessing was posted.

Chen Ling said.

Then his own door, and finally the other rooms.

Chen Ling opened the front door of the entrance hall and took couplets and transparent tape.

Double-sided tape is easy to damage the wall surface, and ordinary tape is slightly better.

The couplets on both sides are easy to stick, but the top of the door is not very easy to stick.

A chair was brought just big enough to reach.

Chen Ling did this every year when he was at home.

"call……"

After finally gluing the four corners, he could finally put his hands down. As soon as Chen Ling lowered his head, he realized that the eldest lady had appeared beside him.

She was looking at the red couplets on both sides of the door, her expression unchanged, as if she was trying to figure out the meaning of these Chinese characters.

Both hands were on the back of the chair where Chen Ling was standing.

Sister Lixiang, do you make no sound when you walk?
  The movement of her feet was noticed by the eldest lady. When their eyes met, Chen Ling felt embarrassed first.

It pinches like this every time.

"Well, I'd better say hello when I come. (Japanese)"

"Feel sorry."

She released her hands from holding the back of the chair.

What are you apologizing for?

"Let's go in."

Chen Ling moved a chair and walked in front of Rika Shona, with the black-haired girl following behind. Soon there was the sound of the door closing.

"There's also papercutting here. I'll give you some. You can stick them on the windows."

Opening the handbag on the table, there were several paper cutouts inside.

The eldest lady stared at the paper-cuts in the plastic bag and took away the three cute paper-cuts and the double-sided tape without saying a word and went back to her room.

Chen Ling watched her pick up the red swallow paper-cut and draw it in front of the window.

Sure enough, no girl can resist cute things.
