Jiang Nian pushed his bicycle and walked slowly side by side with Zhongshan Zhihui. Some people were walking in a hurry on the roadside, while others were strolling leisurely.
Jiang Nian could no longer suppress his curiosity at this moment.
"Besides, I'm just an ordinary friend with Kirihara Akaya, there's nothing to hide." Jiang Nian thought.
Jiang Nian said seriously, "Besides being classmates, Kirihara-kun and I also have a business relationship. He pays me, and I help him with English and math. Apart from that, there's no other relationship."
Zhongshan Zhihui felt helpless when she heard these words which seemed to be explanations but were actually excuses. But she thought that apart from what happened this year, Jiang Nian rarely interacted with other people.
Jiang Nian's calm expression deepened Zhongshan Zhihui's thoughts, so she told Jiang Nian the gossip about Yamato Kouta.
"Yamado Kouta was friends with many girls on the first day of school. Later, he dated every prettier girl in the class, and you were one of his targets."
Jiang Nian asked curiously, "Does he only associate with people in his own class?"
Nakayama Chie snorted coldly: "Of course not, he has dated people from other classes before, and even dated two people at the same time."
Jiang Nian has always kept his distance from such scumbags, and even feels that seeing such people is an eyesore.
"How did you know this?" Jiang Nian was somewhat curious about the source of Zhongshan Zhihui's information.
Nakayama Chie directly said: "We went to the same elementary school, and he was my ex-boyfriend, so it was natural for me to observe him when we were dating, until I found out that he had many girlfriends, and then we broke up."
After listening to the whole story, Jiang Nian knew that this was a bloody battle.
"So you're telling me you don't want me to date him?"
Nakayama Chie scoffed, "How is that possible? When I first found out, I thought it was the other girls' fault. Later, they were all deceived. Since then, we have formed a club - the Scumbag Detective Agency."
Nakayama Chie paused, then said proudly, "We were founded to help those who have been deceived escape suffering."
Although Jiang Nian felt that Yamato Kota was not worthy, he felt a sense of admiration after knowing what they had done.
After finishing the melon, Nakayama Chie extended an invitation: "Osaki, would you like to join our club?"
Although Jiang Nian felt that this club was interesting, he needed to prepare for math and English competitions.
If you win the championship, you will get a large bonus, which means you are one step closer to achieving financial freedom.
But now my financial situation is average and I need some income.
"Let me think about it."
Nakayama Chie said with a look of certainty: "You will join us."
After saying goodbye to Zhongshan Zhihui, Jiang Nian waited at home for his grandmother to come home.
The students’ winter vacation has arrived. Although the vacation is only fourteen days long, it is still worth being happy.
In the evening, grandma walked briskly on her way home after get off work
Since Cong Jiangnian started living with her, although she couldn't see her all the time, there was always a lightness and joy in her grandmother's steps.
After Jiang Nian's grandmother opened the door, she saw Jiang Nian doing his homework under the lamp with the dinner prepared for him next to him. She felt a sense of happiness in her heart.
The meal is over.
Jiang Nian began to ask her grandmother what she thought: "Grandma, New Year's Day is just a few days away. Where do you want to go?"
Grandma's expression was gentle, and she thought for a moment: "Actually, my sister invited me to her house, but I was afraid you wouldn't be able to adapt, so I didn't give a clear answer yet."
Jiang Nian only knew that he had an aunt, whom he had hardly ever met, so he didn't have a deep impression of her.
"If grandma wants to go, I'll go with her. Besides, I want to meet this aunt too."
"Her home is in Hokkaido, and it's cold now." Grandma fell into deep thought after saying this.
Jiang Nian knew that it was not easy to see grandma at her age, and each time they saw her, it would be one less time.
"Grandma, let's go together. I really want to see the snow in Hokkaido."
"Okay, then I'll tell her tomorrow morning. It just so happens that I can have five consecutive days off the day after tomorrow." Grandma's tone was excited and her smile was bright.
Jiang Nian bought the train tickets, prepared gifts, and packed luggage for himself and his grandmother the next day.
In the evening, grandma packed the luggage and the two of them went to bed early to get enough rest for the next day's trip.
A farmhouse in Hokkaido.
An old woman excitedly called her husband to go to the station to pick up her sister.
Jiang Nian and his grandmother heard shouting as they walked out of the station exit.
"Sister, here, here."
After arriving at his aunt's house, Jiang Nian took out the gifts prepared by his aunt - sake, watermelon, cakes and fish.
Of course, the watermelons were bought. The watermelons Jiang Nian harvested in the summer were small and astringent, making them difficult to eat.
From then on, Jiang Nian's idea of growing watermelons was killed by reality.
After seeing the watermelon, my aunt kept saying, "What a waste!"
The weather in Hokkaido seemed to be in line with the fireworks and it started snowing.
Amid the rustling sound of snow, laughter and joy could be heard from time to time.
From a distance, the white snow in the dark night emits sporadic light, and this light is the yellowish silhouette of the house.
Jiang Nian watched his grandmother and aunt chatting and laughing, reminiscing about the past and reminiscing about the old times.
Compared to grandma and aunt, she is younger, more youthful and happy.
My great aunt asked at the right moment, "Excuse me, where are you two?"
My aunt and grandmother burst out laughing.
My aunt covered her mouth, a little embarrassed: "The child is here."
Jiang Nian cooperated very well, covering his eyes and saying, "I can't see or hear anything."
It turned out that this was the first sentence my great uncle said when he started a conversation. I was very nervous at the time and wanted to ask my name, but I ended up stammering out this sentence.
At this time, my aunt smiled and replied, "I am Kitano Xiaoxi."
Grandma also cooperated: "I am Kitano Xiaoxi's sister - Kitano Qingxi."
Only then did Jiang Nian know his grandmother's original name.
During the three days in Hokkaido, Jiang Nian felt her grandmother's ease and happiness, as if she was herself at this moment, not just anyone's mother or grandmother.
On the last day, Jiang Nian discovered a great treasure, which was his weapon to get rid of the cold in winter from now on - thick cotton pants.
Jiang Nian bought two and a lot of cotton.
After seeing the cotton Jiang Nian bought, the aunt took out the old sewing machine at home and planned to help Jiang Nian.
Finally, four pairs of trouser legs with zippers were made.
Jiang Nian had long been fed up with the school's rule of wearing skirts even in winter.
Although Jiang Nian always wore thermal pants secretly, he would occasionally be seen and laughed at.
With these easily detachable trouser legs and the knee-length cotton coat, Jiang Nian has begun to look forward to his happy future.
The time we spend together is always very short, and the time we spend apart becomes very precious.
Jiang Nian and his grandmother set out on their journey home with reluctance in their eyes.
