Chapter 669: Fuzugawa Miya (20)
Fushigawa Miyabi's family is coming to visit.
After the first month of the year.
Yun Ci felt a little nervous.
Because the two never met again after that confession.
There is only communication, sharing the ordinary daily life with each other without any changes.
But occasionally, Musashi would ask Shuanglai to send some small gifts.
Yunci will also return the gift.
There was no change in the relationship between the two, but through correspondence, it was a little warmer than before. Fushigawa Shima's sisters would occasionally communicate with Yunci.
They are about the same age as Yunci, and they don’t know what Yunci thinks of their brothers, so they just treat them as friends and even complain to Yunci about their brothers’ embarrassing stories.
Through these letters, Yun Ci learned a lot about Busei's hobbies.
'Boom thump—'
"Miss, you——"
"I woke up."
Yun Ci responded quickly and climbed out of the bed. Her movements were so quick that it didn't seem like she was a person who used to sleep in.
The door was opened from the outside, and the cold air mixed with a few snowflakes was instantly blown into the room by the wind, leaving a few water marks on the floor.
"It's snowing outside?"
Yun Ci wrapped herself in a cloak. The snow outside was unexpectedly heavy. A thick layer of snow had accumulated on the eaves, and the snowflakes were still falling non-stop.
"Such thick snow will affect travel."
"Miss, you are wearing too thin clothes. Don't let yourself get frozen."
"understood--"
Yun Ci closed the door, quickly washed and changed clothes, and then opened the door a little again.
The servant added some charcoal into the fire pot, boiled tea for Yun Ci, and then left again.
The indoor temperature rises slowly.
Yun Ci sat beside the fire pot, drinking tea and admiring the snow scene outside.
After a while, breakfast was served.
She got up a little late. Her parents had already had breakfast and were now curious about the newly bought kotatsu, so she got in early.
Time passed slowly towards noon. Yun Ci drank tea, admired the snow, practiced the piano, drew talismans, and practiced calligraphy, but the snow outside still showed no signs of stopping.
'Pa-ta--'
As Yun Ci stopped writing, a ball of ink fell from the tip of the pen onto the paper, ruining the beautiful calligraphy.
[Don't worry, host. I've checked before. They're almost here.]
"now what?"
[…I’ll go take a look.]
Yun Ci put down the pen, put the ruined calligraphy aside, stood up and walked out.
She paced to the main hall, where no one was at the moment.
Yun Ci went around to the lounge next door and saw her parents there.
The two of them snuggled comfortably in the kotatsu, eating snacks and fruits and drinking tea, and they rarely paid attention to their manners.
Yunci lay on the window frame: Stare——
"Ma'am, try this."
"Master, this orange is so sweet, try it quickly——"
Shenli's mother's eyes met Yunci's.
The orange in her hand that was about to be fed to Shenli's father's mouth suddenly fell down.
Shenli's mother coughed lightly and returned to a proper sitting position.
"What are you doing outside? Come in."
Before Shenli's father could finish his complaint, he subconsciously looked towards the window.
Yunci imitated the movements of the lucky cat and waved: "Hi~ Dad~"
Shenli's father: "..."
This unlucky kid!
Three minutes later.
Yun Ci also snuggled into the kotatsu.
The warmth dispelled the coldness, Yun Ci shook her body comfortably, and occupied the space under the kotatsu wantonly.
The two adults pay great attention to their children's education, so they generally don't do things that don't pay attention to their image in front of Yun Ci.
The two returned to their kneeling position, with the kotatsu only covering their front legs.
Before that, they had opened the windows to enjoy the snow view and had not closed them.
The couple looked at each other and communicated with their eye contact, signaling each other to get up and close the window.
This eye-fight lasted for a long time, but no one was willing to leave the warm kotatsu.
Until a notification came from outside.
"Sir, the guests have arrived."
The Fuzugawa family has arrived.
They didn't all come.
Only Fuzuigawa Saneya and Fuzuigawa Genya accompanied Fuzuigawa's mother.
Uzui's mother's body is a little thinner than in the plot, but her smile is warm.
She, the little one, stood in front of her two sons and thanked Yun Ci solemnly.
Yun Ci quickly dodged her bow and said, "You don't have to be so polite. Anyone who encounters such a thing will go and help."
Yes.
Everyone will go to help.
But not everyone has Yunci's magical ability.
The only outcome for her then... would be death.
Under Yun Ci's somewhat embarrassed gaze, and with the help of her son, Busei's mother slowly stood up.
"No matter what the reason is, the result is that you saved me and my children. Please accept our gratitude."
They bought a carriage and filled it with thank-you gifts prepared by Uzui's mother, some of which they bought and some of which they hunted in the mountains.
Yun Ci took a quick look and felt that several years' salary of Busei Uzui was all here.
Kamikaze's mother knew about Busikawa's family situation. She tried to refuse from Busikawa's mother several times, but the other party's attitude was very firm. In the end, it was Kamikaze's father who smoothed things over and let the things stay.
Shenli's father whispered, "Go to the warehouse later and take a look."
Mother Shenli nodded and called a few people to the tea room where a kotatsu was set up.
"Come and warm yourself up with some hot tea."
Mother Busikawa smiled and responded, "Thank you, Madam Kamisaki."
"I didn't expect it to snow so heavily last night. You must have been frozen on the road. Take a break first and go soak in a hot spring to warm up your body." Shenli's mother said, "I heard from the child that you just woke up not long ago. You must take good care of your body..."
Two mothers were chatting over there.
Kamiya's father and the brothers Fushigawa Sane and Fushigawa Genya were chatting on the other side.
Yun Ci blinked as she listened to her father asking about Fushigi Shima's recent situation and life.
It's like asking about the future son-in-law.
Yun Ci's gaze fell on Busei Kagawa.
His birthday is at the end of the year, so he is 23 now.
Yun Ci's birthday in this life is in the first month of the lunar calendar, so she is officially 16 years old.
If you calculate it this way, there isn't much difference.
Yun Ci held the teacup and took small sips of it, occasionally adding more tea to the two people chatting, and then secretly glanced at Fushigi Shima.
Fushigi's temperament now is completely different from before.
During his time with the Demon Slayer Corps, Musashi Fushigi was filled with murderous intent most of the time.
But now he is much softer.
To be precise, it should be said that it has become more introverted.
Fushigawa Genya did not suffer any hardship as a child, so he has no scars on his face. Perhaps it is also because of his education, his temperament has become more student-like, and there is almost no trace of him in the plot.
so good.
It’s great like this now.
