Natsume-kun just wants to live

Chapter 399 Before Christmas ([-])

On the treadmill, Natsume set the gear and adjusted the slope.

This is his own room.

To be precise, it was his room in Yugong Hui's villa.

He didn't have any plans for traveling, and he didn't have the slightest idea. He was finally driven away by two girls.

Because I was really bored, I came up with the idea of ​​exercising after returning to my room.

The last time I ran was two weeks ago. Sure enough, the cold will make people lose their fighting spirit on that cold morning.

Without hesitation, he pressed the switch.

The treadmill started, and Natsume kept adjusting her running posture to make it more reasonable.

Half an hour later, Natsume got off the treadmill and looked around to see if there was any fitness equipment.

Unfortunately, nothing.

"I will give her a suggestion next time, prepare more fitness equipment."

Natsume thought so, and went to take a shower in the shower room.

After taking off his clothes, he stood under the shower, letting the hot water wash over his body.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed in.

"What about people, come out."

A beautiful female voice came from the door.

"What's the matter?" Natsume said after hearing the movement and turning off the shower.

Standing at the door, Yu Gonghui heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, frowned and asked, "Wait, are you taking a shower?"

"Miss, isn't this obvious at a glance?"

"You wash it first, come out and find me later." Yu Gonghui turned and left.

"Wait, I'll be fine soon, you sit here for a while."

Yu Gonghui stood at the door and hesitated for a while, and finally agreed.

After closing the door, she locked it and sat down on the sofa in the room.

Yu Gonghui is very cautious and doesn't want to be misunderstood by others.

Natsume washed her body, dried her hair, changed into loose pajamas and came out.

"looking for me?"

Yu Gonghui turned her head, "Can I put on my clothes before speaking? This will only make me feel like I'm talking to a hooligan."

"Hooligan? This is too much, I only show my neck! Also, isn't this the pajamas you prepared?!" Natsume replied.

She turned her head, saw that Natsume was wearing pure white and loose pajamas, and nodded.

"That woman didn't agree with my trip."

She didn't talk nonsense and talked about the business directly.

"Is it because of safety?" Natsume guessed.

After all, Ms. Hee is also Hui's mother, and it's no surprise that she's concerned for her safety.

"No, she felt that she was not taken with her, so she was very angry." Yu Gonghui shook her head, "As for the safety you said, don't worry, even if you die ten times, I may not be able to scratch the skin."

"It's a strange analogy."

After Natsume finished speaking, he asked again: "Then what should we do?"

"Before Christmas, you and I will take her out for a walk."

"I?"

"Yes, you. Although I am also very surprised why she did this, she asked for it."

Natsume showed his son-in-law's sense of responsibility, "Since you want to take me with you, there's nothing you can do about it."

"."

Yu Gonghui looked at him with disdain.

"Have you decided where to go?" Natsume asked.

"A few days ago, during the cultural festival, she said she wanted to see flowers."

"It's winter now, how can there be flowers blooming." Natsume said quietly.

"This is your problem."

Yu Gonghui said, "Why didn't you take the initiative to ask her out before?"

".Is it my fault?"

"Otherwise, is it my fault?" Yu Gonghui frowned.

After finishing speaking, she changed the topic again: "In short, you go to the Lord's house tomorrow and chat with her."

"Where's Hui?"

"What stupid things are you talking about? Of course I will go, otherwise you will be left alone with her? You like older people so much?"

"Hey, you are doubting my taste!"

"Tsk, I'm going to write this down and tell her when the time comes."

"Please don't! Minister Amamiya!"

"It depends on your attitude."

Then, the two agreed on the details. In the middle, they decided to buy a gift for Ms. Xi in the morning.

'Knock knock! 'Someone came again.

"Come in." Natsume said.

"The door is locked." These are the words from the outside.

Natsume glanced at Hui, and she raised her head: "Being vigilant is something that must be done at all times."

"What you said, I thought this was Syria."

"Syria is no longer at war, member Natsume, you should pay more attention to current affairs."

"Yeah, I'll check it out some other day."

Natsume went to open the door, and Yumi Sato walked in. Seeing him, she was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"I said why the door was locked. It turned out that I was taking a shower."

"I didn't lock it." Natsume turned sideways, revealing the person behind him.

Yumi Sato looked over and tilted her head in doubt, "Hui?"

Yu Gonghui sat on the sofa and was drinking tea.

"Why are you here."

"Some small things, you need to talk to him."

Yumi Sato looked over and made Natsume nervous, so she turned around and smiled:
"Well, I'm here to invite him to dinner, so come with Hui, the time is almost up."

"Ah."

Amamiya Kei stood up from the sofa, and when passing by Natsume, she gave him a warning look, opened the door and left.

Probably meant to tell him not to talk nonsense.

After Megumi left, Yumi Sato stopped Natsume's way, "What is she doing here?"

"Nothing happened."

"lie."

"."

Natsume shrugged, "Megumi really likes me so much, she sneaked into the room and forced me to do some adult things while no one was looking."

"Can you make up a decent reason?" Yumi Sato sighed

"Isn't that true?"

Yumi Sato looked at him like a fool, "Do you think I will believe it?"

"Well, it's actually a family matter, about her mother."

"That's it." Yumi Sato nodded, without asking the bottom line.

"Aren't you curious?" Natsume followed her, locked the door, and walked in the corridor.

"You've already talked about family affairs, what am I curious about?"

"Wait a minute, how did Yumi tell if I was lying? Could it be that you also have Kei's ability?"

"It's a secret."

Dining room, brightly lit.

If you come in from the corridor, you will definitely think that this is a wedding banquet.

The dining room is full of square tables for four people, and there are eight of them. The meals on them are exquisite and diverse. Just by looking at them, they contain Chinese food, Western food, and traditional Japanese food.
At a table near the courtyard, Megumi Amamiya is enjoying a meal.

The grilled foie gras is covered with fat and has a good taste.

She cut a small piece and put it in her mouth, feeling the joy of her taste buds.

Not bad.

After making her comments, she squeezed lemon juice on it again, and was about to drink it, but was interrupted by the ear-piercing sound of rubbing next to it.

Amamiya Hui put down her chopsticks in dissatisfaction and looked up.

Directly opposite, Natsume was processing a piece of beef.

It was a medium-rare steak with some blood on it.

"Member Natsume, you have completely forgotten table manners," Amamiya Hui said coldly.

"Table manners? Of course I want to follow, but the meat is so hard to cut."

"You won't call someone to help?"

Megumi Amamiya still remembered that Natsume was originally a well-cooked party, but because of the boring competition, she chose to eat medium-rare.

She can understand the boy's strange desire to win, but she doesn't agree with it.

"Good idea, Miss Maid ~~" Natsume waved to the distance.

Yumi Sato twisted his hand secretly: "You want help from the maid so much?"

"Isn't there a need for this?"

"Forbidden, who knows if you will harass the maid in the name of helping."

"That's something only Takatomi would do! Yumi is slandering me!"

Opposite Sato Yumi, Kodera Yuko raised her head: "I think what Yumi said is good, Natsume, you should restrain yourself."

"."

Natsume still gave up and brought it to the kitchen in person, asking the chef to make it more familiar.

When he came back, he feasted on it.

The restaurant is connected to the courtyard, and someone is grilling in the courtyard, and the tempting aroma comes in through the windows.

Natsume went outside to get a few pieces of mutton, and added cumin and chili powder on it, and the roasted oil splashed and smelled fragrant.

"For tonight, cheers." Natsume toasted.

The glass contained grape drink, and he didn't drink.

Kodera Tamako and Sato Yumi laughed and also toasted.

The last is Yu Gonghui.

The four of them touched their cups, and Natsume drank it all in one gulp, and then went to find people at other tables, enlivening the atmosphere everywhere.

The specific plan is to win Takatomi Yamato and Yoshihara Naoki to play at each table.

Both of them can drink well, so Natsume secretly asked them to toast, and fished in troubled waters.

"It's easy to have accidents when there are many boys." Sato Yumi kept looking at Natsume, a little worried.

"Are you worried about them getting drunk?" Yu Gonghui asked.

Kodera Yuko put a piece of sushi into her mouth, "It's possible, do you want to stop them?"

"Wait for a while, it's rare to be so happy, I think he knows it too." Said Yumi Sato.

The three of them ate and chatted around the news, and made an appointment to go to a spa together after the event.

In the courtyard, Natsume pushed open the door.

"Today I'm here to barbecue, so you can see my cooking skills."

Taking the grill pan and rack from the chef, Natsume led Yoshihara and Takatomi to watch the scenery in the yard.

Looking out from here, I happen to be able to see tall buildings in the distance.

The sky is full of stars.

"It smells so good." Takatomi Yamato said as he gnawed on a grilled lamb chop.

"Keep some stomach."

Natsume reminded him, "There will be a bonfire later."

"It has already started over there." Naoki Yoshihara pointed to the side and said.

Natsume looked over and saw a group of people gathered around the fire, singing and dancing with musical instruments.

He didn't know where he got the equipment. The only thing he knew was that the courtyard here was really big.

First grader Satomi Kamio sang a popular song, and the people around her beat the beat.

"Who wants a beer?"

"This way!"

"No, Gao Chen-jun, you can't drink!" This was the voice of Yuko Kodera.

"What's the matter, it's rare to be so happy!"

The door of the restaurant opened, and Yumi Sato and Tamako Kodera came out.

The former went to the campfire, the latter to the grill.

Yumi sat next to Natsume with a drink in her hand.

"I heard that it will snow heavily tonight, and in the early morning, the snowflakes will fall like raindrops." She propped her face and looked up at the sky, "What kind of scene do you think it was?"

"The silver-white land, the moonlight shines on the lake, and the stars are hidden." Natsume said casually.

"Hey, that sounds beautiful."

Yumi Sato turned her head, "When the time comes, watch it with me."

"Maybe I should prepare the hat in advance." Natsume took off the gloves, wiped them with a wet wipe, and touched Yumi's earlobe.

Cool, delicate and cute.

"Yes, it will be very cold then." She giggled.

"It doesn't matter how heavy the snow is, as long as you hide in the house."

"What's the point of watching snow fall in the house? Of course it's better to go out, take a walk in such a large courtyard, listen to the snow falling on the ground, and listen to the singing from the other side of the lake."

"You want to stay?" Natsume asked.

"Me? It doesn't matter where I live, depending on the situation." Yumi Sato raised her face and smiled, "As long as you are here."

"I'm with you," Natsume said.

"Not only now, but also in the future."

The two whispered for a while, and Yumi Sato went to sing next door.

Natsume ate a piece of mutton kebab that he had grilled by himself. The taste was just right, spicy and thoroughly cooked at the same time.

"What's the matter, the cook stole it?" A teasing voice came from beside my ear.

Even if Natsume didn't turn his head, he knew that it was Megumi Amamiya who came, "Megumi, try the mutton I just roasted, it tastes very good."

Amamiya Megumi walked very softly, she sat down beside Natsume, straightened the hem of her skirt first, then wrapped the skewer with a tissue, and took a small bite.

"How about it?"

"Barely." Yu Gonghui said with a frown.

She seemed to be so hot that she picked up the drink brought by Yumi and took one sip after another.

"Since Kei said it was barely enough, it was barely enough." Natsume smiled, "I will continue to work hard."

Yu Gonghui handed back the unfinished mutton skewers, and Natsume took them and put them in the baking tray, ready to eat by herself.

The moonlight is clear and bright, and the lake is quiet and peaceful.

The carnival in the distance doesn't seem to affect this place.

"Aren't you going to throw it away?" Yu Gonghui asked.

"waste."

"Tsk."

"Don't believe me, don't believe me, look at my face."

Yu Gonghui took a few glances and nodded, "Leave the spice down, I'll finish it next time."

Natsume ate all the baked food to avoid waste.

"Yumi and I are going to stay and see if there will be heavy snow tonight."

"What's the point of snowing? You might as well play chess with me."

"Okay, go to your room and wait while playing chess." Natsume looked at her with a smile.

Yu Gonghui hummed lightly.

She gathered up her skirt, took a Christmas hat from the maid, and put it on.

The red hat has two furry balls beside it, which is very cute to wear.

"nice."

"Whatever I bring, you say it looks good." Yu Gonghui said with a smile.

"Isn't what I said the truth?"

"of course."

"."

Natsume looked at her shrunken hands hidden in her sleeves, and couldn't help but smile.

Hui said that she was afraid of the cold, but she was right.
"To be honest, my palmistry skills have improved a little bit, Huihui, do you want to try?"

"Just tell me what you want, there's no need to beat around the bush." ​​Yu Gonghui said bluntly, "I know you very well."

"How come, I really just want to show you palm reading. And, if I really said that, how could you agree?"

"It seems that I really want to touch it."

"how come."

Amamiya Hui turned her head and looked at Natsume.

"Look, I didn't lie, did I?" His eyes sparkled.

Yu Gonghui opened his mouth, with a slight hesitation on his face.

After a while she said in a soft, inaudible voice:

"You see."

"Eh?"

"Only this time, think clearly."

Natsume nodded quickly.

After getting closer, he smelled the fresh scent of the girl.

She sighed helplessly, but didn't move.

Then, the hands of the two touched lightly.
