Women only affect the speed of my reasoning!

"Well, Rita left early because she had to catch a flight back to the UK." Qin Xianshu explained.

"That's it."

Not noticing the subtle change in the expression of the girl writer next to her, Ayano let out an ooh.

"Forget it, anyway, I have to congratulate Mashiro for winning the No. 1 Newcomer Award. Then from today on, you will be an excellent manga writer. If you want to serialize it, it will start next month. Is that okay?"

"I see."

Mashiro nodded obediently.

"That's fine~"

Ayano's eyes flickered between the two of them for several times, a hint of a familiar smile appeared on her face, and she reached out and patted the girl's shoulder gently.

"By the way, there are two last things, don't delay the update, don't interrupt the update... That's it, then I won't disturb you two, see you later~"

After saying that, the editor lady hummed a little tune and left calmly.

The corridor in front of the conference room became quiet again.

Shiina Mashiro didn't wait for Qin Ushu to speak first. She turned her head slightly and her eyes fell on the picture frame at the latter's feet that was half blocked by the wall.

"That's Rita..."

"Well, it was given to me by Rita. She left not long after you entered and said that she actually booked a flight at three o'clock."

Qin Xianshu paused, then looked down at the tightly packed picture frame. The wrapping paper in the lower right corner of the front of the picture frame also had Rita's signature and Christmas greetings written on it. He spoke hesitantly.

"She said this was a Christmas gift..."

"..."

"...and a token of love."

Looking at the expressionless girl cartoonist in front of him, Qin Ushu struggled to complete the second half of the sentence.

However, unexpectedly, after hearing such news, Shiina Mashiro showed neither anger nor sadness, nor did she walk away with a straight face, she just said softly.

"I know."

"Uh?"

"Rita was ready three weeks ago," she added.

Three weeks ago?

Qin Sanshu did some calculations, and it was three weeks ago... when Rita first moved to Sakura Manor?

In other words, Mashiro knew from the beginning that it would end up like this, but he just never said it?

"I also want to see Rita's paintings."

After saying these words, Shiina Mashiro turned and walked towards the stairs.

"and many more!"

Qin Xianshu called her out, took two quick steps and hugged her gently from behind, taking a deep breath.

"Congratulations on winning the No. 1 Newcomer Award, Mashiro... and Merry Christmas."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and left a kiss on the shopping girl's cheek. At the same time, he magically took out the Christmas gift he had prepared from behind.

It was the latest high-end digital tablet on the market, and it was a perfect gift for Mashiro, a newly minted manga artist.

But because it was packaged in a Christmas gift box, there was nothing visible from the outside.

Looking at the gift box with "Merry Christmas Mashiro" written on it, the girl couldn't help but smile sweetly at the corner of her mouth.

"Ah."

"Of course, this is just a Christmas gift. To celebrate our Mashiro winning the No. 1 Newcomer Award, um..."

Qin Mianshu deliberately lowered his head and lowered his voice, and the moist breath against his ear went straight to his earlobe.

"How about a good reward tonight?"

After hearing this, a light blush suddenly appeared on Shiina Mashiro's cheeks, and she buried her face shyly.

"Ok!"

Chapter 286 Are you going to meet your parents?

To be honest, if Rita hadn't suddenly given him such a big Christmas gift in a physical sense, Qin Ushu would have originally planned to spend today with Mashiro outside.

Regardless of whether he was awarded the Newcomer Award or not, this was his plan.

Being rated is undoubtedly a celebration. He can take Mashiro out for a big meal, then go shopping and watch a movie or something, find a better hotel to stay in at night, and inject some of Mashiro's love comics into it. Deep inspiration.

And even if there is no review, it can be used as comfort.

Of course, all this is based on the agreement with Yukiko.

Since he has made up his mind and is unwilling to give up on anything, Qin Xianshu naturally cannot favor one thing over another.

For Yukiko, during the six consecutive days when Mashiro was busy for the Newcomer Award, she enjoyed a privately customized "love-infused" massage service from a high school student detective almost every night.

Six days in a row...oh no, it should be thirteen days to be precise, because we have to add the seven days of one-time injection accumulated last week.

So in the end, Yukiko was in a state of "it was extremely painful to wake up in the morning due to lack of sleep, but she continued to eat marrow and taste it at night and never tired of it".

So after Qin Sanshu expressed that she wanted to take Mashiro to live outside for a day on the weekend, she agreed in a very reasonable manner.

However, now that Rita has given him such a big Christmas gift, no matter how stupid Qin Ushu is, he can't carry the painting and continue dating Mashiro, not to mention the former forcibly giving the painting a token of love. meaning.

It would be too strange if you carry a love token from another girl with you when you are dating a girl...

Let's go back first.

Considering that it was inconvenient to take the subway while carrying such a big thing, I had no choice but to take a taxi.

Just like when they came, half an hour later, when Qin Shanshu and Mashiro took a taxi back to Sakurasou, Mitaka Jin was preparing dinner in the kitchen as usual in Sakurasou. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised to see the two returning.

"Ah? Why are you guys back, Xian Shu? Teng Feng said before that you seemed to be going out tonight?"

"Well, that was originally the plan, but for some reasons..."

Qin Sanshu responded by raising the huge "reason" he was carrying in his hand.

Mitaka Jin craned his neck to take a look. He keenly noticed the signature on the lower right corner of the frame. He immediately raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes slightly. He rubbed his clean chin and revealed a teasing smile.

Qin Sanshu responded with a firm middle finger in a friendly manner.

"I know, I will make more dinner anyway!"

After an indescribable exchange, the young screenwriter in the kitchen, wearing an apron, waved his hand and said.

Time soon came to dinner time.

Qin Xianshu was the last one to come out of the room.

During this period of time, apart from telling Rita the news that Mashiro won the first prize of the Newcomer Award, the rest was basically thinking about how to hang up the painting that Rita gave him. .

After all, although there weren't many things in his room, the space on the floor against the wall was actually completely occupied. In order to make room for hanging paintings, Qin Ushu struggled for nearly an hour.

At the dinner table, everyone in Sakura Manor sat down as usual.

Qianshi Qianxun sat down, took a sip of beer, and said, "I'm sorry to hear the news, but you guys won't be able to spend the winter vacation at Sakurasou this year."

"Eh? Why why?"

Misaki Uekusa was the first to react. She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and quickly stood up and shouted.

"Misaki." Mitaka Jin pulled her from the side, "Sit down and listen to Teacher Chihiro."

"Oh."

Misaki Uekusa sat down obediently.

"The reason... is this." Qianshi Qianxun clicked her phone a few times, and showed the screen of her phone to everyone while drinking beer.

"Ok?"

What was displayed on the screen was a screenshot of an online ticket ordering from Chiba to Australia, and the time happened to be the first day of the winter vacation after the final exam.

"Teacher, are you going to Australia for a trip?" Yukiko understood.

"That's right!" Qianshi Qianxun took back the phone and hummed, "Because teacher, I'm going to Australia for a trip, and I won't come back until two or three days before the end of the winter vacation, so there's nothing you can do during this period. I live in Sakurasou."

"But is there any necessary connection between this?" Qin Xianshu was a little confused.

"Yes, yes, why can't we stay at Sakurasou when the teacher goes on a trip!" Misaki Kamikusa followed up.

"Isn't this natural?" Qianshi Qianxun took a sip of beer and let out a cheerful breath, "I am the dormitory manager. Although there are students who stay overnight in the school's ordinary dormitories during holidays, the dormitory students in the corresponding dormitories The supervisor will also stay overnight, what if something happens to a group of [-] or [-]-year-old high school students without anyone to care about them?"

"It's as if there is no difference between the presence and absence of the dormitory manager, teacher..." Qin Umbrella held his forehead softly.

"It's not important!" Qianshi Qianxun, who was drunk, patted the table vigorously, "Anyway, if it doesn't work, it won't work. This is a school rule. You should go back to your hometown during the winter vacation. You should go back to your hometown and do whatever you want. Do you understand?"

Speaking of which, there is basically no room for change.

After a while, Mitaka Jin scratched his head and spoke first.

"Forget it, I don't care anyway, I will go to Osaka during the winter vacation."

"Eh? Won't you go back to your hometown with me?"

Misaki Kamikusa's attention was instantly diverted.

"Well, I'm not going back. I have something to do in Osaka." Mitaka Jin said.

"Are you going to meet another woman!?"

"No, it's business..."

Amidst the bickering between the childhood sweethearts, Qin Ushu turned to Mashiro.

"Are Mashiro going back to England for the winter vacation?"

"not going back……"

The girl shook her head slightly, then turned sideways and rested her head gently on Qin Uanshu's shoulder.

it is more than words.

"What about Yukiko?"

"Um……"

Yukiko nodded her mouth with her chopsticks and raised her head to think.

"I should still go back to my hometown. The question is, what will you do, Xian Shu?"

"me……"

Qin Xianshu pondered, thinking about this issue seriously.

For him, the option of returning to his hometown definitely does not exist, so the easiest and most trouble-free way is to stay in a hotel.

But the question is, is it really reliable to stay in a hotel for more than half a month?Everyone will go crazy, right?

But buying a house doesn't seem very reliable. For him, money is not an issue. The problem is that there are only a few days until the winter vacation. There is not enough time to buy a house and decorate it, not to mention ventilation. Just decorate it.

Qin Xianshu suddenly regretted why he hadn't thought of buying a house before.

But it is true that with his way of not taking life seriously at that time, he might die one day and buy the house for free in an instant.

Tsk, so annoying...

"I do have an idea."

Yukiko said, with a little fox-like smile on her lips.

"Usama Shu and Shiina don't have anywhere else to go anyway, why don't you come back to your hometown with me?"

Chapter 287 This is my boyfriend!

There is no doubt that Qin Sanshu cannot refuse Yukiko's invitation.

After all, which man can refuse the request of his beloved girl to take him home to meet his parents?

The answer is of course no, except for those who just want sex and don’t want to be responsible.

After passing the final exam, which is a mixture of joy and sorrow for most students, Qin Ushu, Yukiko, and Mashiro embarked on a journey to Gunma.
