Chapter 55: Happy New Year



Extra story w: All members survived the story

The Japanese New Year is from January 1st to January 3rd of the Gregorian calendar. So when we celebrate New Year's Day, they celebrate the New Year.

Happy New Year! 5000+ words of sincere blessings haha~ (Lu Lu is exhausted jpg.)

There were clumps of snow on the ground, and the sky was a little misty as if covered by a layer of gauze. The cool winter wind caressed people's cheeks, but it still couldn't eliminate the New Year's joy on people's faces.

Jinpei Matsuda parked the car and walked forward while talking on the phone, his feet making a "crunching" sound on the snow.

"Yes, I'm on duty today... I'm a policeman... I just got off work and I won't be going home on New Year's Eve..."

"...Yes, I have booked a ticket for tomorrow..."

"Haha, don't worry... I'll spend it with my friends..."

"...I also wish you a happy new year in advance..."

Matsuda raised the corners of his mouth, said goodbye to his family on the phone, then put the phone in his pocket. After turning the corner, he saw a familiar figure at the door in the distance.

“Hey, hey, hold on with more care, don’t just use one hand!” You stood on the bed and shouted down to Kenji Hagiwara.

"Hey, hey--" Hagiwara Kenji responded, still holding his phone with one hand and putting the other hand in his pocket. He looked up and smiled, "Don't worry, if you fall, I will definitely catch you. You won't get hurt at all if you hit me~"

"…Although you are still good at talking, I will not rely on a few nice words to save my life." You rolled your eyes, "Hold on with both hands, I'm going to lean over to hang the rope."

During the Japanese New Year, a straw rope or a circle made of straw rope is usually hung above the door of each house, which is called "Shimen rope". It is an item with auspicious meaning.

You looked up and saw a figure approaching from a distance: "Hi, Matsuda—" He waved his hand, "Are you off work?"

"Yes." Matsuda Jinpei walked over with big steps, "Just got off work."

"Hey, Jinpei-chan is back." Hagiwara Kenji also greeted him with a smile, "Where's Kouya-chan?"

"He's busier than me, probably still dealing with year-end documents or something." Matsuda shrugged. "I just called him and he told us to have dinner first and he'll be back later."

"Maybe this is what it means when someone is more capable, the police department won't consider giving him a work honors award?" You sighed, "I originally thought that if he came back early, the kitchen would be handed over to him and Jingguang, but now it seems——"

"The more capable you are, the more work you can do." Hagiwara Kenji joked, "Let him book the entire place by himself."

"That's a bit too much. It's a meal for five people." A gentle male voice with a hint of smile came from behind Hagiwara.

"So many food!" Your eyes light up when you see the bags in Zhufu Jingguang's hands.

"Eat something richer on New Year's Eve." Zhu Fu Jingguang blinked, "By the way - are you tying the string?"

"Era-chan, you're so slow." Hagiwara Kenji glanced at his watch. "Ten minutes have already passed."

“Don’t you feel a pain in your waist when you talk while standing?” You blew on your hands. “It’s so cold outside. I’m almost frozen. It’s hard to bend my fingers. And this rope is hard to tie—”

"Come to think of it, why didn't Kenji go up and tie the rope?" Matsuda suddenly asked, "As a bomb disposal expert, Kenji, your fingers are more flexible than ordinary people."

"..." You were stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Yes! Why did you help me up to tie it? Good man, help me up!"

"Haha, you're only halfway through, hurry up and finish."

Matsuda, who was standing next to him, suddenly reached out and grabbed Hagiwara's arm, pulling his hand out of his pocket.

There were horrible scars on that hand, the torn flesh was twisted and scabbed, but it had not completely healed.

Everyone was stunned.

Hagiwara Kenji looked nonchalant: "Ah... just a minor injury, no need to look at it."

"You...!" Matsuda suppressed his anger, "What's going on?! How long has it been? Why didn't you tell us?"

"It's just a small mistake in defusing the bomb. It's no big deal." Hagiwara Kenji said with a chuckle, "What's there to say about it?"

"No wonder you didn't take your hand out—" Your tone became heavy, "You really are... do you want to keep it a secret? What about during dinner?"

"It's my left hand that's injured, it won't affect me."

"Your observation ability is too limited, Kenji." Morofushi Kagemitsu also spoke.

Hagiwara Kenji looked at his friends' expressions, paused, and said helplessly, "Okay, it's my fault. I'll tell you next time, okay?"

"Humph, there won't be a next time." Matsuda Jinpei loosened his grip on Hagiwara's hand, "Be more serious when you defuse the bomb!"

"Okay." Hagiwara Kenji responded.

"Jiang Lai, are your hands frozen?" Matsuda looked up and said, "Come down, I'll go up and tie it."

You didn't try to be brave. This place was indeed very difficult to get through. You nodded: "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

After getting off the bed, you said, "Let's build a snowman for Date-kun's child later?"

"Yes, squad leader Ida also asked us to build a snowman and take a picture of him so that he can show it to his one-year-old baby." Morobushi Kagemitsu smiled, "He must be very busy at home now."

"After all, he has a family, dotes on his wife, and wants to do everything himself." You sighed, "He is really a very reliable man."

Matsuda quickly hung up the shimen and made a snowman with you in the yard. Hagiwara Kenji wanted to join in, but because his left hand was injured, you and Matsuda wouldn't let him do it, so he had to stand by and take pictures with his phone while mumbling.

"Really? It's just a minor injury on my left hand, and you treat me like a porcelain doll..."

"Kenji," Jingguang poked his head out of the house, "I think I forgot to buy some dried fish. Can you go buy some and bring it back?"

Finally having something to do, Hagiwara quickly responded: "Okay, leave it to me, I'll go right away."

After taking a few photos of the snowman, you and Matsuda walked back to the house. There was a lot to prepare for dinner, so Jingguang asked them to make wasabi noodles first and then ramen noodles.

"I'm busy tonight." Jing Guang rubbed his arm. "I'm going to the living room to clean up the house first. You two stay here and I'll do it later. This will save time."

"Okay, no problem! Don't worry!" you agreed.

The bowl of noodles fell over purely by accident. When you pulled your hand away, your arm swept the bowl and it fell onto the table. Fortunately, you reacted quickly and picked it up, but some flour still spilled onto the table.

"..." You stared at the pile of scattered flour, and a playful desire slowly overflowed in your heart.

“Matsuda!” You put your hands behind your back and smiled, “Come and help me.”

"Oh? What's wrong?" Matsuda put the things on the other side in place and strode over.

“Help me—” You suddenly put your hands on Matsuda’s face, “Watch this, hahaha!”

"!!"

"Hey, you bastard..." Matsuda was caught off guard and had flour all over his face. His once playful nature as a teenager was aroused, and he quickly grabbed the flour from the bowl next to him and slapped it on you.

You dodged it nimbly by twisting your body, picked up the flour bowl, and patted it while touching it. The two of you were laughing and playing around, walking around in circles in the kitchen.

"Have you prepared the dough?" Zhu Fu Jingguang opened the kitchen door, and the faint smile on his face froze when he saw the scene inside.

The flying dust in the air rose and fell, the messy panels were placed haphazardly on one side, and two puffy faces turned towards the door.

“…”

"..." Jingguang gripped the door handle tightly. He seemed to hear the sound of the string called reason in his head breaking.

You stare at the doorknob that makes a fragile creaking sound with horror: “…Yes…Yes…I’m sorry!!”

Matsuda: "Um... Sorry, sir...?"

hehe.

Morobushi Kagemitsu smiled gently, seemingly the same as usual: "Very good."

“Ewwwww—I’m sorry, I’m sorry!! I’ve already said I’m sorry—”

Kenji Hagiwara, who went out to buy dried fish, came back at the same time as Rei Furuya. They knocked on the door while chatting.

Morobushi Kagemitsu opened the door for them: "You're back." Seeing the golden hair behind Hagiwara, he raised his voice, "Zero, are you off work too?"

"I'm busy reviewing the documents, and I plan to come back to help prepare." Furuya Rei answered with a smile, and walked in with Hagiwara Kenji. He took off his coat and hung it on the hanger at the door, then turned around and saw you with a miserable face.

Furuya Rei: “?”

You: “Welcome back.”

Hagiwara Kenji was also stunned when he saw your expression.

"You're back." Jinpei Matsuda was holding a rag he had just washed in his hand, and he had the same miserable expression as you.

Kenji Hagiwara: “???” What happened when I went out?

“You guys…” Jingguang looked at you and Matsuda with a smile.

"The dough is ready! The rest is cleaned up!" You shuddered and answered quickly.

"...I've finished cleaning too." Matsuda added silently.

"Okay, then we can start cooking." Jingguang nodded with satisfaction, "Come on, Zero?"

Furiya Rei looked at you all with a confused look on his face, but when he heard Jingguang calling him, he responded, "Okay."

After the two of them went to the kitchen, Hagiwara Kenji came over with a curious look on his face: "Hey, what happened? You two look so miserable."

"..." You sighed and said earnestly, "Grade 2, don't make an honest person angry - the most terrifying thing is when an honest person gets angry."

Hagiwara thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "To be honest, I haven't seen Jingguang angry for a long time. I actually want to see it."

"If you want to see it, just go and try it." Matsuda raised his eyebrows.

"Forget it." Hagiwara Kenji waved his hands, "I just want to watch, not experience it."

Everyone sits around the dining table, you eat your sumptuous dinner with big mouthfuls, and sigh with satisfaction: "It's so delicious!"

“Xiao Jianglai, don’t forget that you still have a bowl of wasabi noodles to eat.” Seeing how happily you were eating the main course, Hagiwara Kenji pointed at the small bowl in front of you and reminded you.

"Don't worry! I'm a big eater tonight!" You nodded and reached for the Eho roll on the plate next to you.

Ehomaki is similar to sushi, but it is thicker and larger than the usual sushi. It is meant to bring good fortune to people, and contains seven different kinds of food.

You wanted to be naughty and pick an Ehomaki with green peppers to play a blind box (?) game, but after thinking about it, you finally decided to let the other person enjoy dinner in a relaxed manner.

You: After all, it’s New Year’s Day.

As the temporary manager of a sushi shop, although your skills are not as good as those of a chef, you still know how to make basic sushi (because sometimes you have to help out when it's busy). Tonight's Ehomaki was made by you and Furuya Rei together.

"I never thought that you can make not only sandwiches, but also sushi." You can't help but exclaim, "The all-round home cook Rei Furuya!"

“Haha,” he smiled, “I learned a lot of cooking from Jingguang, and I also make some for fun when I’m bored.”

The Eho-maki is quite long, and you were about to cut it with a knife, but Matsuda beside you grabbed you and said, "Don't cut it."

You: “Huh?”

"Because if you cut the Eho-maki, it is equivalent to cutting off your fortune, which is a serious taboo." Kagemitsu explained considerately.

“Well… but,” you stare at the Ehomaki in front of you with a worried look, “This is so big, I feel like I won’t be able to eat anything else after I finish this.”

"Just now you said you wanted to be a big eater, why are you scared now?" Hagiwara Kenji said with a smile, "It's okay if you can't eat, let Jingguang and Ling do it again next time - don't you still have the New Year?"

"Actually, I want to go home for the Spring Festival..." You muttered, "I don't know if I can go back." You felt a little disappointed when you mentioned it.

"Why not?" Furiya Ling blinked, "But if you can't go back, we can spend the Spring Festival with you again."

"Okay, keep your promise!"

Furuya Rei added, "...if I didn't have to work overtime that day."

"Furuya, it's time to raise the flag." Kenji Hagiwara coughed.

“…” You half-mooned your eyes, “Haha.”

"By the way, Squad Leader Ida also sent us a video message of congratulations." Jingguang took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket.

"Huh? I remember you used to put your phone in your left chest pocket." Matsuda asked curiously, "Why did you change it to your pants pocket?"

"Zero kept telling me to stop putting my phone down," Jingguang smiled helplessly, "so I changed it."

"It's better to keep electronic products away from the heart and brain," explained Rei Furuya.

You nodded in agreement. "Right. What if it explodes?"

Jingguang clicked on the video and saw a happy family in front of him. Idahang was holding his little princess baby and laughing happily, making the child giggle. In the video, he expressed his blessings to everyone and his gratitude and praise for helping to build a snowman.

"That's great." Hagiwara Kenji sighed, then teased, "Hey, Xiao Zhenping, you see that squad leader Ida already has a child, why don't you consider finding a partner? I think the policewoman in your department is interested in you--"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not true." Matsuda Jinpei rolled his eyes, "She and Takagi-kun like each other - and you blame me, you are so sociable, but you are still single, aren't you?"

"It's a sign of good manners to be a gentleman to a girl. I'm not interested in finding a partner right now—" Hagiwara Kenji said with a smile, "My career is too dangerous. I'll wait until I retire."

"Retirement life..." Matsuda Jinpei looked up at the sky and thought, "I really can't think of what to do, but Jingguang and Ling are so good at cooking, we can consider opening a restaurant - we will definitely visit often."

Furuya Rei: “Ah, what…”

"Excuse me," you suddenly interrupted, "I think everyone here is single."

“…”

“…”

"I'm not lonely in the New Year, so you police officers should just digest it among yourselves," you joked, "Kagemitsu and Rei, Matsuda and Hagiwara, childhood sweethearts are perfect - and I'm beautiful alone."

"There's a saying that a childhood sweetheart can't beat a girl who comes from heaven?" Jingguang also joked, "In that case, Kenji is beautiful on his own."

"Huh?" Hagiwara Kenji said, resting his chin on his hand, "I didn't expect you, Jingguang, would read childhood sweethearts vs. the one who dropped from the sky literature - I think the best solution is for the childhood sweetheart and the one who dropped from the sky to be together."

He leaned back in his chair and joked, "Little Jianglai and I ran to the ends of the earth, and Little Zhenping couldn't find us no matter how hard he tried."

"It's unlikely that we won't be able to find it no matter how hard we try," said Furuya Rei, also jokingly, "unless we go to the other side of Hades."

"Good guy!" You smiled and patted Matsuda, "Let's go to paradise and have fun - leaving you alone in the world to be beautiful!"

Matsuda curled his lips and said, "Hey, hey...say something auspicious for the New Year..."

"Haha," Jing Guang raised the corners of his lips, "It's almost time to discuss the New Year's greetings later. It's almost midnight."

"Time flies!" You looked up at the watch. "How about we count down from ten to one, and then say Happy New Year together!"

Matsuda Jinpei objected almost immediately: "No."

"Ah?" You were stunned.

"Why do we have to count down? I feel a little uncomfortable." Matsuda pouted and said, "Wouldn't it be better to count from one to ten?"

"How long have you been transferred to the first class? You're not used to the countdown?" Hagiwara Kenji teased, "When defusing bombs, you see countdowns every day."

"Hey, why did I transfer to another class? Do you think..."

After that incident, Kenji Hagiwara stayed in bed for half a year, and Jinpei Matsuda gritted his teeth and transferred to the First Division, determined to catch the murderer.

"Ahem, let's not talk about the past." Hagiwara Kenji quickly stopped talking, "I'm not done with rehabilitation now."

"Also, I never let the countdown go less than ten seconds." Matsuda rested his hands behind his head. "It's because I've defuse so many bombs that I don't want to see the countdown."

"Then let's count positively," Jingguang tried to smooth things over. "Count from one to five."

"Okay." You nod.

"It's almost time, let's each say a New Year's greeting." Furiya Rei raised his glass with a smile.

Matsuda Jinpei looked lazy and casual, but his tone was serious: "I hope that you guys who keep me company... can also stay with me year after year."

"Little Jinpei is too uncultured~ I'll take over—" Hagiwara Kenji blinked, "One gift for each year, one inch of joy."

You tilted your head and thought for a moment, then decided to amuse yourself by making a pun that they couldn't recognize: "The New Year is better than the next year, and the future is better than the past."

Jing Guang smiled and said, "Everything you ask for will be granted, and everything you do will be smooth sailing."

Jiang Gu Ling raised the corners of his lips: "Leave the darkness to the past, the road ahead is vast and unpredictable."

"One, two, three, four, five—"

“Happy New Year!!!”×5

You all raised your glasses in unison, laughing. The crisp clinking of glasses and the sound of laughter intertwined with the songs coming from the TV, and the faint sound of the ancient bell coming in from the distant window -

In this joyous and brilliant moment, the new year arrives as expected.

The author has something to say:
