Chapter 143 Separation?

The steps to go up to the temple are not high, but they are more numerous. As they climbed up the steps one by one, Chen Ling even wondered if this was a mountain climbing competition.

However, Rika's physical strength was far beyond his expectation, and she seemed to have learned how to walk better in clogs. The imaginary thought of 'the eldest lady would be unable to walk because her feet were worn out by the clogs' did not appear at all.

Well, you can't expect bad things from your eldest lady.

Finally, I climbed the last step, and in front of me was a large temple. There was already a queue in front of the temple. The red torii gate above my head was covered with a layer of white new snow due to the depth of winter, and the ground was swept by monks in advance. It's not too hard to walk now.

Chen Ling held his girlfriend in one hand, opened the phone screen with the other, and slid to unlock it. As a result, Rika came over, leaned lightly on his shoulder, and looked at Chen Ling's phone screen.

What else could there be?

In the group of five people who were nothing more than 'rika', Yamada showed off his own kimono and Gotou's kimono. They were in the same temple. I don't know if they met by chance or they had made an appointment to worship together.

Come on, if I take a picture of Miss Rika’s kimono and show it to you, will you be so envious and jealous?
Thinking of it, Chen Ling turned on the front camera.

"How about we take a photo together?"

Chen Ling winked at Rika, but she was wearing sunglasses, so she probably didn't look at her either.

"Shoot."

The two rarely took photos together outside of work. What Chen Ling remembered clearly was the last photo post. She felt that the eldest lady was not a girl who liked taking pictures very much.

Obviously there are such superior conditions.

The two people wearing sunglasses pressed their faces together, and Chen Ling enjoyed the fragrant and soft feeling.

"Let this be the wallpaper~"

Chen Ling happily sent the photo to the group and then set it as his mobile phone wallpaper.

"Send me a copy."

Rika's voice rang in her ears, whispering softly, fearing that the sound would be too loud and others would think it was familiar to her.

It's hard to say Chen Ling, but the eldest lady's voice is quite recognizable.

"Huh? Oh."

Do as you are told.

Rika did not take out her phone, but continued to look at Chen Ling's phone screen.

Congratulations to everyone in the group.

[Happy New Year, Nanno-san and Miss Rika, today is also sweet. 】

Mizuna Qianyue sent an emoticon that was very characteristic of her.

[Happy New Year everyone, have you finished visiting the shrine? 】

[Yeah, I was woken up by the adults at home at around six o'clock, and now I'm going home to catch up on some sleep. 】

Is this the new contemporary youth?
It’s rare to wear a kimono and not wander around.

【Everyone should work hard together in the New Year, aoligei! 】

[Wow, Nanno-san is getting sick again. 】

As the producer of the group, I should send out red envelopes in the group at this time. However, this function is not available here now, so I can only send some red envelopes when we meet later.

Start work profitably, happy.

In addition, there are also New Year wishes from Hayami Aiyi.

It's very short, just one sentence.

[Big brother, Happy New Year. 】

【Hello to you and me. 】

As a surfing expert, Hayami Ai quickly sent a reply.

【Eh? 】

Chen Ling's routine operations when he is ill.

Do you also need to give the little girl a red envelope?
[I, I will give you a big red envelope later~]

[Big brother’s way of speaking is so strange. 】

"Like a wretched uncle."

The lady’s accurate review.

[Well, anyway, I just want to thank you for taking care of Rika. Don't feel embarrassed, just be careful. 】

[Lucky money, big brother is so nice! 】

The little mouth is smeared with honey, so polite and proud.

However, Zaojian Aiyi also has better control over distance, and when chatting privately with Chen Ling, there won't be too much gossip, and the tone is normal.

And until now, she hasn't sent any photos of herself in kimono. Rika has seen all of this.

Of course, if it really happened, it would be reasonable, and Chen Ling would find a way.

[In the remaining two months, I have to ask Aiyi to take care of me. 】

[Even if I didn’t have a big brother, I would still be like this. Rika-chan is my best friend. 】

Good friends, forever.

While waiting in line, she could only chat. Rika didn't play with her mobile phone. She leaned against Chen Ling and watched him check the background information of his account, check the trends in the group, and exchange New Year greetings with various business partners. This is Adult socialization.

About halfway through the queue, Chen Ling received a message from Naoki Wakana.

[Good morning, brother. Have you and your sister finished visiting the shrine for the New Year? 】

[Still queuing up, are you with your family? 】

Chen Ling glanced at Rika.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

"Nothing."

[No, I am worshiping with Saori now. The worship at home has ended. 】

No, Sir, when I faced the eldest daughter of your family, I was always obstructed. How come you are so tolerant?

You can also let him come out to visit the shrine during the New Year with his girlfriend.

I'm always a little envious, but it would be a good thing if things go smoothly for me.

[Escaped secretly? 】

[I told my mother. 】

Going out for the New Year, the possibility of trying to sneak out is still very small.

After a while, Naoki Naoki sent a video.

It was a front-facing camera video of the two of them next to a certain temple.

Both of them were wearing kimonos. Naoki's younger brother was still as handsome as ever, but the dark kimono on his body formed a clear contrast with his usual preference for pretty colors.

Looks a little calmer now.

Putting your hair together seems to be a common practice for neon girls when wearing kimonos. This is the first time that Chen Ling and Rika Kamina meet Naoki Kamana's girlfriend.

Chen Ling had seen him at his concert before, but the light was not very good and he couldn't see clearly.

Now she appears openly in the camera, which fits her height very well.

She has the style of a younger schoolgirl, with a gentle appearance, and she is not too reserved when looking at the camera.

"Brother, eldest sister, Happy New Year."

Chen Ling felt that his next sentence was probably to say that he and his girlfriend came to pay them New Year greetings.

"Hello, brothers and sisters."

Her voice was still very respectful. She should also know the current identities of Chen Ling and the eldest lady.

A certain group is a popular star, hehehehe.

"Saori and I will visit you at a later date."

Just like Chen Ling goes to other people's homes to pay New Year greetings after the Chinese New Year in his hometown.

But with the way you act, it seems like you are getting ready to get married?
It’s faster than Rika and I, right? It’s about a flash marriage.

Just kidding, he didn't think that his family would let the first heir of his family marry a woman from the country without any background so easily.

If you want to catch both ends, in a sense, Naoki Naoki's road is longer than the two of them.

[Okay, you can come over later when you have time~]

After Chen Ling replied to the message, the eldest lady pushed his shoulder.

"We're almost here." She whispered softly in Chen Ling's ear.

My ears are itchy, and so is my heart.

The ancient brass bell rang again and again. Li Xiang and Chen Ling kept a little distance apart, but they were still side by side.

They are next.

Rika took out four hundred-yuan coins from her small purse and handed two to Chen Ling.

The two of them paid together, and Chen Ling imitated the black-haired girl's movements and threw the coins into the merit box.

The sound of coins hitting the wooden box was dull, but it seemed to have washed away all the dust of the past year.

Chen Ling still knew the next process.

Put your hands together in front of your chest and close your eyes.

Make New Year's resolutions for good omens.

Why does it feel the same as saying a birthday?
What wish should I make?
If there was no system to travel through these supernatural phenomena, perhaps Chen Ling would always be a loyal supporter of materialism, but now, maybe there really are existences beyond human cognition in these worlds?
That wish must be made seriously.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Ling opened his eyes.

Hey, since I'm wearing sunglasses, it seems like no one can tell whether I open my eyes or not.

"So slow."

The eldest lady was disgusted. After all, there were still people queuing up behind me.

"Hehe, I can't help it, I'm too greedy and have too many wishes."

"Only one wish can come true."

The eldest lady took Chen Ling's hand and walked towards the guide going down the mountain.

"Who stipulated that only one can be achieved?"

Rika-chan was stunned for a moment and shook her head.

"Achieving it yourself is also called realizing it."

So is it materialism or idealism?
……

The Hundred Days Oath-taking Meeting is well known.

Of course, there should be no such chicken soup available in Neon.

Although schools in Tokyo do not actively organize pre-exam sprints like Chen Ling's hometown, more pressure to enter higher education is piled on individual students.

Time flies by the fastest in the last month or two of exams, and this is also true for high school students in Neon.

Chen Ling has learned about the ways to enter high school in Neon. There are three main methods, general entrance examination, recommended entrance examination and OA entrance examination. However, he is not a student and does not know the specific situation.

However, based on Rika's strength and her current results at the music festival, there should be no problem with independent enrollment.

Until mid-March, when another early spring came to this city again, Rika Shona's time as a senior high school student came to an end.

Rika Shona, who was wearing graduation uniform, knocked on the door and was greeted by the warm embrace of her boyfriend in an apron.

"Happy graduation, Rika-chan."

"Ah."

Although Chen Ling was unable to attend her graduation ceremony at school, it was a very precious experience to be able to accompany her to graduation.

Chen Ling took the graduation scroll from Rika's hand, unfolded it and looked at it. He found it very novel. There were photos of the eldest lady taken at school some time ago. She had long black hair shawl and a calm and beautiful face without makeup. Look at it. It looks very much like an active JK.

But from now on, Rika's identity will be that of a female college student.

pretty good.

I have worn school uniforms for the past three years, and now they have to be hidden in the closet at home.

Of course, you can wear it occasionally to remember your lost youth.

Or... to satisfy some people's interests.

The two of them finished dinner together, and after the meal Chen Ling brought a plate of pastries from the refrigerator.

"Sakura and confectionery, made by myself."

Going out to buy desserts is absolutely non-existent. For hands-on master Chen Ling, Rika Jiang's graduation ceremony must of course be made by hand to show her love.

It's just that the layer of skin wrapped around it is really difficult to make, the color is hard to say, and the shape is terrible.

Maybe he really doesn't have the talent to be an artist.

The eldest lady also cast a meaningful look.

"Rika, don't look at the crooked melons and cracked dates. The taste is guaranteed, trust me."

Chen Ling's encouraging gaze made the eldest lady couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek.

Bing Bing cool.

Chen Ling picked up a wagashi and put it near Rika's mouth.

The girl opened her mouth gently and took a small bite.

Stop pretending, who doesn’t know how heroic you are when you eat desserts, huh.

Put the remaining part into your mouth.

It has the sweet taste and aroma of cherry blossoms, and the sweetness is relatively moderate. At Chen Ling's level, he can open a small shop on the roadside.

Main job is songwriting, side job is pastry chef?

It is not impossible.

During the period from the graduation of high school to the start of college, apart from the college affairs, my eldest daughter should also have free time.

You can come back, focus on being active, and actively do business.

One point that I am more concerned about is... what our family said before, requiring the eldest daughter to prepare for marriage after finishing high school, should be considered null and void now, for fear that the family will get sick again.

I hope my mother-in-law can help them.

Chen Ling's reversal rewards still have some way to go.

"Dear Miss Girlfriend."

"Calling disgusting."

The eldest lady, who had just stuffed a wagashi into her mouth, slightly puffed up her cheeks, like a cute little hamster.

The voice is also soft.

"You said before that you wouldn't tell me which university I was going to apply for. Is that okay now? The results should be out by now. I've already checked the time. Don't try to fool me, huh."

"Yes, Dongda."

"Oh~ Sure enough... isn't it right? For you, Rika, wouldn't it be more appropriate to go to a music school?"

The eldest lady finished the last fruit slowly, then took a sip of hot tea and patted her chest a few times.

I can do it for you, dear~
"Isn't Darling still here?"

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment.

Does that mean you rely on me to compose music and lyrics?
There seems to be nothing wrong with it. When it comes to singing skills, it is actually more efficient to learn from famous vocal masters in a targeted manner.

Taking a step back, this is the choice made by the eldest lady herself, and Chen Ling cannot act with the benefit of hindsight.

However, he felt that... maybe one day, Rika would not be on stage again.

I always have this premonition.

Everyone has their own ambitions. To achieve their goals, it is normal to use their own strengths and talents to ultimately achieve their goals and then do what they really like.

He is extremely talented in sports. He enrolled in the top university in the country as a student with special talents, and then chose to study.

Can you say that he wasted his resources?
Yes, but he chose what he liked and that was enough for him.

Same thing.

Ordinary life is not necessarily a bad thing.

"As for the school, there should be no problem, but there is something you may have to think about in advance."

"Ok?"

Chen Ling pursed his lips.

"In college life, I personally think it is best to live in a dormitory and experience real campus life."

The black-haired girl looked at Chen Ling, her eyes slightly absent-minded.

"But this means that the two of us may have to say goodbye to the way we get along now."
