"Chiki." She gazed at Ueno Chiki affectionately, with thousands of words in her heart that she wanted to tell him.
However, at this moment, Ueno Chiki was a little afraid to look into her eyes. He was afraid that he would melt in this tenderness and would not be able to express the decision he had already made.
Yingmei, who was hiding in the dark, saw it all and said, "Qianshu, what the hell are you doing? You should be hugging and kissing each other at this time. You're such a wimp!" She wished she could replace Ueno Chishu.
"It seems like Ueno Chiki is worried about something and can't let go." Yae Kamiko said softly. She had sharp eyes and quickly noticed something was wrong.
"What could be on his mind, dating such a beautiful and lovely girl?" Yingmei's tone was a little sour.
At this time, Columbia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "He's worried about you!"
Her tone was firm and direct, which surprised everyone.
Chapter 102 New Year Festival
Columbia's cold voice echoed in everyone's heart.
After hearing this, Yingmei and Yae Shenzi both had a special feeling in their hearts.
Yingmei already understands the feelings between herself and Qianshu, but it is difficult for the two of them to really be together.
Because she is destined to change and save the world, she cannot stay in one place for a long time.
Yae Shinko was also restless. In the past few hundred years, Ueno Chiki was the first man she wanted to get close to. When she was with him, her heartbeat would sometimes speed up, which was an experience she had never had before.
Just then, a careless voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.
"Traveler, Paimon, you are here too!"
Everyone turned around and saw Naganohara Yoshimiya walking quickly towards them with a smile on his face.
Her steps were brisk, as if she carried an indescribable vitality, and her bright smile was as warm as the sunshine, making people feel extremely comfortable.
"Shh! Xiao Gong, keep your voice down!" Paimon put his finger to his mouth and signaled.
"Ah?! What are you doing? And, these two are, Lord Yae Miyagi and Lord Shogun!" Xiao Gong opened his mouth wide, somewhat unable to believe what he saw.
"Little guy, don't make such a fuss. The general and I are here to visit the New Year festival." Yae Shinko said softly.
"That's great! I'll be showing off my fireworks show later, you must watch it! It's guaranteed to be very, very exciting!" Xiao Gong's surprised expression was instantly replaced by excitement and anticipation. Her eyes were as bright as stars, and her tone was full of confidence in the performance she was about to present.
"Xiao Gong, keep your voice down, otherwise we will be discovered." Yingmei hurriedly reminded in a low voice.
"be found?"
"We are spying, uh, paying attention to the date between Ueno Chiki and Kamisato Ayaka." Paimon took the initiative to explain to Xiao Gong.
"That's right. But it seems that you have been discovered." Xiao Gong pointed forward.
Everyone looked back and found that Ueno Chiki and Kamisato Ayaka were walking towards them.
"What are you doing?" Ueno Chiki asked helplessly.
Yingmei turned her head away guiltily, then pretended to be surprised, "Hey, isn't this Qianshu? And Linghua, what a coincidence!"
Ueno Chiki really wanted to complain about her poor performance, but he didn't expose her. He sighed and said, "Since we've met, let's go together."
Kamisato Ayaka felt embarrassed and annoyed, and a blush appeared on her face.
What made her embarrassed was that her intimate behavior with Ueno Chiki was seen by everyone, and she felt so embarrassed and shy that she couldn't control herself.
What annoyed her was that after all this incident, their date would definitely not be able to go on, and her heart was filled with helplessness and regret.
At this time, Xiao Gong's eyes fell on Ueno Chishu, "Brother Chishu, my fireworks show will start soon, and it contains the feelings I want to express to you."
"Well, I'm looking forward to your fireworks." After feeling her burning gaze, Ueno Chiki no longer chose to escape, but responded positively.
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him suddenly became tense.
Yingmei, Kamisato Ayaka, and Yae Kamiko all stared at Ueno Chiki at the same time, with an indescribable meaning in their eyes.
Yingmei felt mixed emotions. Xiao Gong was her favorite sister, and she could accept it. But, this was too cheap for that bastard Ueno Chishu. Her eyes moved back and forth between Chishu and Xiao Gong, and her heart was full of contradictions and entanglements.
Kamisato Ayaka's face was bitter. She had expected this. Ueno Chiki was willing to give everything for Xiao Gong. How could such a deep feeling be easily abandoned? Alas, this was probably what Ueno Chiki wanted to tell her, but he obviously accepted her feelings. How could this guy be so greedy!
Yae Shinko watched all this calmly, as if she had anticipated this situation. There was a subtle cunning in her eyes, as if she was waiting for something.
Ueno Chiki felt a little uncomfortable under the gazes of the three people.
At this extremely embarrassing moment, Ueno Chishu suddenly saw a snack stand. He suddenly had an idea and said, "I think everyone must be hungry. I'll go buy some snacks."
Before he finished speaking, he ran towards the snack stand without looking back.
His actions made Yingmei, Kamisato Ayaka, and Yae Kamiko curse inwardly, but they could do nothing about it.
After his departure, the atmosphere eased a little.
"Everyone, I'm going to prepare for the fireworks show. Bye!" Xiao Gong waved his hands and said goodbye to everyone.
In front of the food stall, Ueno Chiki finally got a chance to catch his breath. The atmosphere just now was so tense that he felt a little suffocated.
He felt like he was struggling in a vast ocean, and was almost drowned in the sight of Yingmei, Kamisato Ayaka, and Yae Kamiko.
He took a deep breath and felt himself gradually calming down.
It’s easier said than done to have it all!
"Customer, what would you like to buy?" the young snack stand owner said enthusiastically.
Ueno Chiki looked at the snacks at the stalls, and found that there was a rich variety, including tempura, takoyaki, red cherry cakes, etc.
"Please order all the snacks and take them away."
"Okay!" After receiving such a big order, the stall owner's face became even brighter.
Not long after, Chiki Ueno returned to the crowd carrying a large bag of snacks.
"Let's find a place to sit down and enjoy the food while watching the fireworks," suggested Ueno Chiki.
When Paimon heard the proposal, she immediately jumped out to support it. She smiled and said, "What a good idea! This way we can enjoy delicious food and watch the fireworks at the same time, it really kills two birds with one stone."
Others also thought this was a good idea and expressed their agreement.
Only Kamisato Ayaka felt a little disappointed. She originally had a date with Ueno Chiki alone, but now it turned into a small party.
After searching everywhere, they finally found a flat and quiet place, far away from the crowd, surrounded by only some trees and flowers, and no one else disturbed them.
Everyone felt very satisfied because this was a good place for them to enjoy the food and fireworks quietly.
Yingmei took out a large tablecloth from her space backpack and spread it on the ground. The tablecloth was large enough to accommodate all of them.
Everyone sat down in a circle. This scene reminded Lei Dianying of the times when he and his relatives and friends played under the cherry tree many years ago.
Those happy, carefree days seem like just yesterday, and an indescribable warmth wells up in my heart.
Chapter 103 New Year's Day
"Chiju, catch that." Yingmei threw a bottle of sake to Ueno Chiju.
"Ying, I don't know how to drink." After taking the sake, Ueno Chiki waved his hand.
"Little guy, a man cannot be drunk without knowing how to drink!" Yae Shenzi picked up a bottle of sake, his posture lazy, "If you can't drink, how can you get those ignorant girls drunk and then do beastly things."
Ueno Chishu's forehead was full of black lines, "Master Yaeyoshi, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm really not that kind of person."
Yae Kamiko raised a bottle of sake with her incomparable slender hands, took a big sip gracefully, then turned her head and stared at Ueno Chiki with a look as if she was looking at a waste.
Her eyes were full of teasing and mockery, "Man, can you do it?"
This provocative attitude greatly annoyed Ueno Chiki.
As a man, he absolutely could not accept such humiliation. He immediately picked up a bottle of sake and drank it in one gulp.
As the sake goes down my throat, a light spicy sensation immediately comes from my throat.
This spiciness was different from the spiciness of strong liquor like white wine that he had imagined, but rather a softer, lighter spiciness.
Only then did he realize that Inazuma's sake was a lower-alcohol wine, different from the white wine he drank in his previous life.
He savored the heat, feeling it spread and fill his mouth and throat with a warm sensation.
"That's more like it." Yae Shinko smiled with satisfaction.
Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded in the quiet sky, breaking the silence of the night.
Then, colorful fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, and colorful stars lit up the entire night sky.
The colors of the fireworks were so colorful and intoxicating that they seemed to turn the entire night sky into a huge painting.
Each firework exploded in the air, forming a dazzling curtain of light, as beautiful as flowers scattered by fairies.
Ueno Chiki had seen countless fireworks in his previous life, but this time he was shocked the most. He didn't expect to see such beautiful fireworks in this backward land. It was incredible.
Then, the next scene shocked and moved him even more.
The fireworks that bloomed in the sky that day, one after another, the bright light exploded in the air, intertwined with each other, turned into a fiery red color, and formed huge flower trees. Each firework was extremely brilliant, reflecting his name "Thousand Trees".
Xiaogong, is this what you want to express?
At this moment, he really wanted to appear in front of her immediately and tell her that he had always liked her.
Soon, the fireworks faded away, like flowing water, or like falling cherry blossoms. The more brilliant the fireworks, the faster they faded.
But he did not feel regretful or lonely, because there were people accompanying him by his side.
He sat with them on the tablecloth, under the stars, enjoying the food and chatting.
Soon after, Xiao Gong, whose fireworks display was over, came over and joined them.
In the darkness of the night, Ueno Chiki had already drunk countless glasses of sake.
The scene in front of him became increasingly blurred, and the whole world seemed to be shaking before his eyes.
My body felt light, as if it had escaped the pull of gravity and flown into the boundless universe.
However, his consciousness was still between hazy and clear.
He tried to think clearly, but the alcohol had stopped his brain from functioning properly.
"I like you all. Please be my wives, okay?" He said to everyone, shaking his head, his speech slurred and incoherent.
After saying this, he fell down with his head tilted back, and never got up again.
When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at him in shock.
