Hasegawa Yuu suddenly realized that his blond senior liked celery.

It turns out that the seedlings in the pots on the inside of the balcony door are celery. I always felt that they looked familiar but I couldn’t remember where to put them.

One person, one fish and one dog happily enjoyed this delicious New Year's breakfast.

By the way, the soba noodles were almost cooked before Hasegawa Yuu walked the dog, but the omnipotent blond senior cast a little magical human magic on it.

It tastes even better than before!

Hasegawa Yuu is satisfied, "Thank you for the hospitality~"

After finishing breakfast together, Harry wagged his tail and said, "Woof!"

Fūya Ling held his chin with one hand and stared quietly at the fish and the dog in front of him, with the curve of his mouth never lowering.

"Huh? Brother Ling wants to give me a red envelope?"

After dinner, Hasegawa Yu was stunned by the New Year's surprise. He lowered his head in embarrassment and muttered, "How old am I?"

Most of the red envelopes given by humans are given to children.

He had prepared some for Noah and Hiroki, but he didn't expect that Ling Ge would prepare some for him as well.

"Even if Xiaoyou is 90 years old, as long as she's younger than me, she'll always have red envelopes from me," said Furuya Ling with reason. "Happy New Year, Xiaoyou."

That means he will never be able to grow taller than Brother Ling in his entire life. He is not an artificial intelligence that can grow in one year as much as a human in five years.

Hasegawa Yu received the red envelope and was actually very happy, with a smile on his face, "Happy New Year, Brother Ling~"

After giving the red envelopes, the two planned to go to the shrine to pray and worship.

With the help of the blond senior, Hasegawa Yuu, who hadn't been out in a few days, put on his disguise and sat in the passenger seat while humming a song, "Let's go~"

The white Mazda started slowly and drove smoothly on the snowy street.

Halfway through the drive, listening to an unknown tune coming from his ears, something occurred to Rei Furuya. "Could you sing that ballad of the seven seas that Xiaoyou sang to me before again? I want to record it."

Hasegawa Yuu had no doubts, "No problem!"

Accompanied by the mermaid's beautiful singing, the white sports car also arrived at its destination.

Yu Hasegawa, wearing a light orange down jacket, got off the car first and looked not far away.

The sun on the first day of the new year shines on the vermilion torii gate of the shrine. The air is filled with the faint smell of incense. People wearing traditional kimonos and the new winter clothes of the season move slowly in the fortune-telling line.

Many people came to the shrine to worship during the New Year. Hasegawa Yuu looked away and exhaled a misty breath, "Brother Ling, I guess we'll have to wait in line for a while."

Wearing a down jacket similar in style to the one Hasegawa Yu was wearing, Furuya Rei locked the car and said, "Hmm... probably an hour or two."

In a public place, with many people watching, he called out the person next to him by another name, "Is Qianluo Leng?"

Before leaving, Hasegawa Yu, who was fully armed by a certain blond senior, shook his head.

The two joined the queue for autographs.

Hasegawa Yuu was very excited. "This is the first time I've visited a shrine on New Year's Day with anyone other than my sister Xingluo and the others."

In the crowded crowd, he protected the young man's injured right hand inconspicuously, and an idea came to his mind.

He asked casually, "Where are Nanhao and Awu? Qianluo has a very good relationship with them, right?"

"I sent them back to their own country during the holidays."

Hasegawa Yu explained, "Nanhao is Korean and Awu is Italian, so they don't have this custom."

Of course, I didn't have it originally. After all, fish spent almost the first ten years of their lives at the bottom of the sea, and they only developed the habit after coming ashore.

Furuya Rei raised an eyebrow, "The name Takeru doesn't sound Italian."

Hearing his words, Hasegawa Yu cleared his throat. "Awu's original words were: 'This is the tradition of their mysterious Italian Mafia. It's normal for the Italian Mafia to have a Japanese name.'"

Yu didn't understand, but chose to respect the Italian Mafia tradition.

Despite his Japanese name, Takeru, a pure-blooded Italian, was only interested in Japanese manga. Hasegawa Yuu often heard him mutter behind his back about how Mafia members should possess the power of the Death Flame or a Stand user.

But in front of him, Awu acted like a cool bodyguard.

Out of curiosity, Hasegawa Yuya secretly looked for the comics that his bodyguard was reading. As a result, he was seen by Nan Hao, who then discovered Awu's little secret of reading comics and laughed at him mercilessly.

In the end, the two of them had a fight.

The big star who found out about this incident afterwards was completely helpless against his agent and bodyguard.

Thinking back to this, Hasegawa You touched his chin. It seems that the way Nan Hao and Awu get along is a bit similar to that of Ling and Zhenping.

Fortunately, these things happened in the first few years of our acquaintance, and now we all get along very well!

"I see."

Fūya Rei, who also didn't understand, nodded politely. Half a second later, the curve of his lips froze, "...Mafia?"

"The Italian Mafia is legal." Hasegawa Yu's eyes flickered for a moment.

In fact, Nan Hao's family also has a background in organized crime, but his father's generation was cleansed of all charges. There is no need to tell Brother Ling about this.

Fūya Rei seemed to want to say something but stopped himself and ended up saying nothing.

He decisively skipped the topic and asked, "Didn't Senra come to the shrine with more than just his family during the New Year?"

Xiaoyou's family has more than three fish?

"I'll meet Ruya-kun, Miss, and Coco-san at the shrine."

Hasegawa Yuu almost bit his tongue when he almost said the word "princess". "We... are seven families in total, and we are all very close to each other."

Jōgu Rei understood that they were fish from different nests.

He noticed something, "They all seem to be women."

Hasegawa Yu touched his nose and said, "Sister and Miss Luya both have boyfriends, so they are not all women."

There are just fewer fish among men.

Could it be that the mermaid race that Xiaoyou belongs to is a matriarchal society?

Furuya Rei understood again!

He seemed to understand why Xiaoyou was so sweet and soft.

Hasegawa Yu, who had no idea what the blond senior knew, looked out at the team in front of him and said, "Brother Zero, it's our turn next."

"Well, okay." Fūya Ling quickly retracted his thoughts that were gradually drifting away.

Not noticing anything wrong with the person next to him, Hasegawa Yu closed his eyes and gently shook the fortune-telling tube in his hand.

After looking at the young man drawing fortune for a few seconds, Fūya Rei turned around and picked up the fortune-drawing tube in front of him.

Five minutes later, after reading the fortune, Hasegawa Yu excitedly said, "It's auspicious!"

The fortune stick said that everything would go smoothly for him and all his wishes would come true.

As expected, the seventh week is a lucky one!

After looking at his own, Hasegawa Yu was curious, "What's Zero's?"

Fūya Rei gathered his fortune sticks into his palm, hiding them from the young man. "It's just okay, not as lucky as Qianluo."

Hasegawa Yu suddenly seemed to sense something and stared at the blond man for three full seconds without looking away.

Fūya Rei looked back in feigned confusion.

Hasegawa Yuu was suspicious, "Then let's tie the sticks to the tree."

One minute later.

Seeing that the young man followed him wherever he went, Furuya Ling put down the hand that bound the fortune slip and sighed, "Xiaoyou, do you want to see my fortune slip so much?"

"Because I have a hunch that Brother Zero is hiding something bad from me."

Hasegawa Yu replied honestly: "If it was really normal, Brother Ling would definitely tell me directly, but just now Brother Ling didn't even tell me whether it was good or bad."

Jōgō Rei's eyes showed surprise.

Seeing this, Hasegawa Yu puffed up his cheeks and his orange-gold almond eyes widened a little, "I'm not that stupid!"

Realizing that the mermaid would not give up until he saw the fortune, Furuya Rei had no choice but to compromise and handed him his own fortune.

Very bad: Pay attention to things around you, there may be a glimmer of hope.

Hasegawa Yu: “!!”

Furuya Rei wanted to comfort the mermaids who had gods in their own world, "This kind of thing is actually..."

"Brother Ling, let's tie the signatures together."

Hasegawa Yu looked around, leaned close to him and spoke softly, as if he was afraid that the gods in heaven would hear him.

"It's a perfect balance, and it would be nice to spend an ordinary year together."

Fūya Rei suddenly stopped talking, and ripples appeared in his purple-gray eyes.

After a while, his Adam's apple rolled and he replied softly, "Yeah."

As if to cover up something, Furuya Rei chuckled again, "What if Qianluo has to be entangled with me for the next year?"

"I'm lucky, so it's okay to give some to Rei-kun." Hasegawa Yu winked at the man, "7 is my lucky number. Choosing it when faced with a choice almost always leads to a good outcome."

Fūya Ling raised his eyelids slightly and looked directly into those eyes that, despite wearing cosmetic contact lenses, were still more dazzling than the sun. "I understand."

Hasegawa Yu took the fortune stick from the other person's hand and tied it together with his own to a branch of the shrine.

After tying it, he turned around and said, "Brother Ling, shall we go back to the apartment next?"

"Qin Luo, do you want to walk around outside for a while?" Furuya Rei calmed down and suggested, "The scenery around this shrine is quite nice."

So the two of them avoided the dense crowd and came to the woods near the shrine.

Even if no one is watching, the winter forest has changed into a limited-time silver-white skin, standing silently in its place to show itself.

The path, where few people passed by, was covered with a thick layer of snow, which made a "crunching" sound when stepped on. Hasegawa Yu jumped forward with his hands behind his back, leaving his footprints on the neat and flat snow surface.

"Check-in successful!"

The next second, a pair of shoe prints with the same pattern but slightly larger than the wavy shoe prints appeared next to the wavy shoe prints.

Fūya Rei, who was half a step behind, raised the Polaroid camera that the young man had brought with him and asked, "Can I take a picture for Qianluo?"

Hasegawa Yu turned around on one leg and made the simplest gesture to the camera.

After taking several photos in different poses, he waved, "Brother Ling, come too."

Hasegawa Yuu squatted down and, with the help of Rei Furuya, piled up a small pile of snow. He placed the Polaroid camera on top, set the timer, and immediately grabbed his wrist and ran away. "Ten seconds!"

Fūya Rei's gaze unconsciously shifted to his wrist, and his body followed suit.

“Crack—”

Ten seconds later, the Polaroid camera on the snow pile slowly spit out the photo.

"Brother Ling, why aren't you looking at the camera again?"

Hasegawa Yuu checked the photo and saw the blond man's eyes on him again. "I won't give you the photo this time."

He was extremely satisfied with his posture just now!

But why does Brother Ling always like to look at him when taking pictures?

Hasegawa Yu thought about the reason seriously. The camera has its own language. If a person does not like the camera, he can easily see that sense of avoidance.

Excluding Brother Ling's professional habits... he doesn't seem to hate avoiding things.

Hasegawa Yuu carefully examined the photo, "Hmm..."

What exactly is the reason? He and Ling-ge are not a couple...

Hasegawa stood up quickly.

Seeing that the young man had been squatting for a long time, Fūya Rei, who came over to check on him out of concern, was startled by his sudden movement, "Qin Luo?"

"Take another picture."

Hasegawa Yu quickly squatted back down, lowered his head slightly, and hid the lower half of his face in his turned-up collar. His hands were busy clicking the camera, "Zero, go over there and pose first."

Jiang Gu paused and said, "Okay."

Could it be that Brother Ling’s brain hasn’t fully recovered yet?

Thinking of the mental health report issued by the psychiatrist, Hasegawa Yu was confused and hesitated. Was it a sequelae?

"Ten seconds!"

He simply stopped thinking about it and focused on setting the timer for his camera.

However, when she was posing, Hasegawa Yu inevitably and unconsciously glanced at the man next to her.

“Crack—”

Hasegawa Yu stared at the freshly taken photos dejectedly. This time, Brother Ling looked at the camera, but he didn't.

It's not a specific posture that doesn't require looking at the camera. As an idol, how could he make such a serious mistake?

Unforgivable!

"One more!"

Looking at the young man with what seemed to be a blazing fire behind him, Furuya Ling had no idea what the photo would look like from beginning to end. He didn't dare to ask anything more, but just cooperated silently, "Okay."

The third photo finally satisfied Yu.

Hasegawa Yu handed over a satisfactory photo, "This one is for Zero-kun."

In the photo, the two stand side by side with their backs to the light.

The blond man standing on the right did not make any poses for the photo. He put one hand in his pocket and looked at the camera with soft eyes. A wonderful and harmonious atmosphere was formed between him and the young man with curly hair on the left who raised his injured hand but looked very energetic.

After putting the photos away, Furuya Rei probed, "The other two..."

"Leave it here with me." Hasegawa Yu patted the small backpack on his back, "It's mine."

Hearing this, Fūya Ling gave him a deep look, his chest rising and falling as a smile escaped his throat. "Then Qianluo, please keep our photo safe."

Hasegawa Yu turned his head and hid the lower half of his face in his collar again, "Of course I can."

What's weird about it.
