the next day……
"Good morning..." Jiang Mu groggily sat up in bed, pulled away the little snow maiden who was tightly clutching his face, and said indifferently.
Snow Girl: (つw｀)～
Although the little guy was cool and comfortable to hold, Jiang Mu was really not used to having him stick to his face first thing in the morning.
"Could this be her 'smear your face' skill?"
Jiang Mu pondered for a moment, then went to the bathroom to wash up...
The snow woman floated behind him, swaying and following him.
Come to think of it, Yuki-onna (snow woman) doesn't need to wash up, right...?
Jiang Mu looked at the sleepy-eyed Snow Woman, who was floating up and down in the air, and was a little puzzled.
However, to prevent the snow woman from falling to the ground, Jiang Mu still pinched her slender waist with his hands and placed her on his shoulder.
"Ding~ The system recommends to you: Snow Woman's special toiletries package, only Mora required, don't miss this opportunity!"
The system, that unscrupulous merchant, has started a new wave of sales pitches.
"You're too dark..."
But Jiang Mu still obediently took out the money in his hand...
There was no way to refuse when my dog, Gou Dan, was staring at me with those big, round eyes...
“Dog Egg…” Jiang Mu looked at the Snow Maiden, “Look, do it like this.”
"?"
The Snow Woman tilted her head, raised the miniature toothbrush in her hand, and pointed it at Jiang Mu.
Snow Woman: (\\u003d′ー`)
"Watch my movements!"
Jiang Mu was both amused and exasperated.
And so, Jiang Mu completed the morning's washing and grooming instruction with great difficulty.
………………
"So cute!"
When the two... no, it was one person and one dog egg who appeared in the living room, almost all the female members' eyes lit up...
No, except for Ningguang. Judging from her expression, she must be thinking about how much this little thing can sell for...
"Brother, where did you find this?" Xiangling asked curiously.
"This kind of food is quite rare..."
"What food!" Jiang Mu exclaimed, both amused and exasperated. "This is my... family member, named Yuki-onna."
"Alright..." He gently patted the snow woman who was trembling behind him. "It's okay, she's just joking with you."
Snow girl: ヽ(*.＞Д＜)o゜
"She...maybe she's a little shy..."
Jiang Mu gave an awkward laugh...
………………
Breakfast time...
"Yesterday... I think I drank too much..."
Master Mao rubbed his slightly aching head and murmured.
"Dad, didn't I tell you not to drink so much..."
Xiangling said with dissatisfaction.
"Isn't this... happiness..."
Master Mao scratched his head and laughed.
"Uncle Mao, I've made some hangover soup. Why don't you and Master Hu have some?"
Jiang Mu smiled wryly.
"You're very thoughtful, lad." Upon hearing this, Master Mao grinned, ladled out a bowl and handed it to Master Hu, then ladled out another bowl for himself and gulped it down.
The group then continued eating breakfast.
For breakfast today, Jiang Mu didn't make anything too fancy. It was just a bowl of soy milk, a fried dough stick, and a few side dishes for each person.
Yuki-onna sat at the table next to Jiang Mu, watching everyone stuff food into their mouths, her eyes revealing undisguised envy.
"system."
"I am here."
"Can the Snow Woman eat the food I have here?"
"able."
"good."
As he spoke, Jiang Mu touched Xue Nu's head with his fingertip.
"Snow Woman, would you like some?"
Yuki-onna: (*＾3＾)\/～☆
All right……
Jiang Mu understood, picked up a piece of tofu with his chopsticks, and carefully offered it to Xue Nu's mouth.
"ah……"
Ah~
The snow woman swallowed it whole, a look of surprise and delight on her face.
"It seems you really like it..."
Jiang Mu smiled and continued feeding the little guy...
Ah~
"Ooh~"
………………
Finally, the Snow Woman finished eating, and with a grin, she gave Jiang Mu a quick kiss on the cheek. Then, she happily sat on Jiang Mu's shoulder, swinging her short little legs, and even let out a cute burp.
"Hiccup~~"
After feeding the Snow Woman, Jiang Mu finally turned his attention back to the dining table. Only then did he realize that everyone's eyes were fixed on him and the Snow Woman on his shoulder...
At this moment, everyone had a variety of thoughts in their minds...
Xiangling: Hmm... I also want my brother to feed me...
Walnut: That little guy is so cute, I really want to go up and hug him...
Master Mao & Grandpa Hu: My Xiangling/Hu Tao was just as cute when she was little...
Ningguang: Feeding play, huh... I'll try it with Beidou later...
Gan Yu: If I were to feed my younger brother... o(*\/\/\/\/▽\/\/\/\/*)q
Zhongli: In terms of general rationality, indeed...
………………
After breakfast, the group felt embarrassed to bother them any further, so they said goodbye and went home.
"Kid, come aboard my Death Star sometime, and I'll treat you to Inazuma Masamune's sake!"
Beidou patted Jiang Mu on the shoulder and said cheerfully.
"Cough cough..."
Jiang Mu almost stumbled from being hit by Beidou, he said with a wry smile.
"Definitely, definitely, next time..."
...
"Young man, come visit my Rebirth Hall more often in the future..."
Master Hu said.
"If I have time, I'll definitely go..."
Jiang Mu smiled wryly, but inwardly he was cursing wildly.
"What normal person would go to the mortuary for no reason..."
...
"Brother, come to Wanmintang sometime. My Guoba can do backflips."
"Well, I'd like to see this for myself..."
Jiang Mu patted Xiang Ling's little head.
...
“Little brother Jiang Mu,” Gan Yu said gently.
"Come visit me sometime. I have a friend named Yao Yao, and she'd like to get to know you too..."
...
Finally, after seeing all of them off, Jiang Mu wiped away non-existent sweat from his brow and murmured to himself.
"Finally, I can relax a bit..."
Seeing that Jiang Mu seemed very hot, the Snow Woman quickly blew a gust of cold wind to cool him down...
"Thank you..."
He patted the snow maiden's head, and the little one giggled, rubbing her head against Jiang Mu's hand repeatedly...
“However, host.” The system’s cold voice shattered Jiang Mu’s illusions.
"According to your schedule, you will need to visit Ma Yanqiao's home and Bubulu to offer New Year's greetings."
"Oh right, I forgot..."
Jiang Mu scratched his head and said helplessly.
"Why does this have to happen every year during Chinese New Year...?"
"Host, the system has prepared a gift for you."
Jiang Mu: Thank you so much!
System: You're welcome. It's my duty to help the host.
"Let's go." After finishing packing, Jiang Mu said to Xue Nu, "Want to come out for a walk with me?"
Snow Girl: (o?v?)ノ
………………
"call……"
Jiang Mu let out a long breath.
"Yanqiao's parents are so hospitable..."
That's right. Jiang Mu only intended to give a gift, but those two planned to keep him for a meal. Only with Ma Yanqiao's help did Jiang Mu manage to escape...
Seeing Jiang Mu's embarrassed state, the Snow Maiden assumed that the two were bullying him and was about to attack...
Fortunately, Jiang Mu persuaded Xue Nu for a long time before the little girl finally put down her "sandbag-sized" fist, but her little mouth was still puffed up with anger, which was very cute.
"Okay, okay," Jiang Mu said, cupping her round little face. "I know you mean well, but they don't mean me any harm, so let it go..."
Yuki-onna: (o???)
