My Teammate’S Blind Date Is Always Ogling Me. Chapter 40
byChapter 40 Christmas
Osaka, Christmas market.
The cold and crisp air is filled with the aroma of hot gingerbread and caramel cake, intertwined with the white air breathed out by people.The entire street was decorated with bright spots of light. Small light bulbs were wrapped around the Christmas tree, stalls and shops in the center. The Hep Five Ferris wheel slowly rotated in the night sky, converging with all the light spots on the ground to form a flowing galaxy.
Artificial snowflakes were floating on the streets, and people seemed to be walking in a Christmas crystal ball. The theme song “A Christmas Song” from “5 to 9” was playing in the store, which was also like BGM in a crystal ball.
“We have freshly baked gingerbread cookies and freshly made mulled wine in our store.” The clerk dressed as Santa Claus handed out flyers to Sakuhaa Seomi and Kohakugawa Ryu, “Welcome to the store to have a taste.”
Although they were all wearing masks and scarves, and the clerk didn’t recognize them, Sakuhaya Seomi subconsciously let go of Kohakugawa’s hand.
However, Kohaku Chuanliu held him tighter with her backhand and said to the clerk with a smile: “Okay, we will go there later.”
The two walked around the mall. Kohakugawa insisted on pushing Sakuza Seomi to the luxury brand clothing stores in the mall, and was sure that Sakuza Seomi looked better in clothes than those mannequins.
“You’re a 1.9-meter clothes rack, can you let me pick out some new clothes for you?” Kohaku Chuanliu put the card into his hand, “Senior will pay for it.”
“…There is really no need to buy these, there is no occasion to wear them.” Sakuza Seomi held the bank card in his hand together, leaned slightly on the slowly ascending escalator, and said in his ear, “It’s enough that Kohaku-senpai is willing to be with me.”
“…” Kohaku Chuanliu was caught off guard by Nianxia’s straight ball.
“Senior, please keep the bank card for yourself.” Sakuzaseichen said again, with a low voice and a slight smile, “I don’t want your money, I just want your… people.”
Amber River: “………………”
After realizing what he was talking about, Kohaku Chuanliu punched him twice quietly.
After walking around several floors and buying a bunch of Christmas decorations, the two of them saw a dessert shop that had just handed out flyers.
Kohakugawa turned his head and looked at Sakuza Seiko with blingbling eyes.
“You can eat gingerbread men,” said Sakuzao, “but you can’t drink mulled wine.”
Amber River: “Just have a drink.”
Sakuzao Shengchen looked at him.
“Just take a sip and taste it.” Kohaku Chuanliu bargained pitifully, “Drink the rest.”
Sakuzao Shengchen hesitated for a while, thinking that this person had been doing well recently, eating every meal well, and drinking a glass of hot milk obediently before going to bed, and finally relaxed: “…Okay.”
The dessert shop is connected to the garden terrace of the mall. Some people sit in the shop, while others stand on the terrace chatting and taking photos with mulled wine.Kohakugawa found a corner on the terrace that was not so bright, and waited for Sakuzamori to come over after ordering the order.
Two gingerbread men were holding hands and lying on the ceramic plate. I wonder if there was a slight mistake during the baking process, but they happened to be favored by Sakuza Noble Minister.The surface of the gingerbread is caramel brown, and the smiling face, Santa hat, buttons and placket are outlined with icing sugar, exuding the fragrance of ginger and nutmeg.
The red wine was boiled with oranges, apples, cinnamon sticks, etc. Kohaku Gawa warmed it in his hands, and when no one was paying attention, he pulled down his mask and took a big sip.
“How is it?” Sakuzao asked.
“It seems a bit ordinary.” Amber River smacked her lips, “It’s not as good as Universal’s butter beer.”
“Your credit has been used up. Let’s wait until next Christmas to drink the butterbeer.” Sakuzaaki said, calmly taking it from his hand and taking a sip naturally.
Amber River stared at him.
“…” Sakuzao Holy Minister asked, “What happened again?”
“No.” Kohaku Chuanliu shook his head and said with a smile, “I was just wondering when your mysophobia would be cured.”
“Hey! There’s a bunch of mistletoe hanging over there!” someone said, pointing in the direction of the two of them.
Kohaku Chuanliu turned his face subconsciously, and Sakuza Seomi completely blocked him with his body, looking back at the passers-by who were about to come this way.
“Don’t go there, don’t go there, there is someone over there.” The girl saw them clearly, and quickly grabbed her companion, smiling and saying to the two of them, “Sorry to bother you, let’s go find other mistletoes. There should be a lot of them in this garden…”
Amber River raised his head, it was too dark just now to notice, and now he saw above their heads, a bunch of green mistletoe red ribbons, hanging quietly on the cast iron hook of the terrace lamppost, dotted with pearly berries and glowing with the faint moonlight.
It is not the Sword of Damocles, but it is still an ancient “threat”.
After scaring away the passers-by with his cold face, Sakuza Sacred Minister turned his head and happened to see Kohaku Gawa’s upturned face.
He put one hand around Amber Chuanliu’s waist, lowered his head, touched his beautiful lips, and then separated slightly, breathing intertwined with his, and they only had each other in their eyes.
“…It was cured when I kissed you for the first time.” Sakuhaashi said.

Kohakugawa bought a bunch of Christmas decorations and was busy hanging socks on the door after returning home.
“Shouldn’t it be hung on the bedside?” Sakuzao asked.
“You’re stupid.” Kohaku Chuanliu said matter-of-factly, “Our house doesn’t have a chimney. How can Santa Claus enter our room when he comes to deliver gifts? He can only leave it at the door.”
Sakuzao Holy Minister choked for a long time and looked at the Kohaku River for a long time before deciding that he seemed to be serious.
…Does he still believe in Santa Claus?
Sakuzao Holy Minister was shocked. He really didn’t expect that his senior could be quite childish.He was still thinking about whether he should prepare some gifts and pretend to be from Santa Claus, but when he walked to the door the next day, there were really gift boxes piled under his socks!
Sakuza Seoomi helped Kohakugawa move in the hill of gift boxes. Kohakugawa wore a fluffy home suit and sat in the living room with floor heating to open the gifts.
A Marshall speaker.
A Hermes travel bag.
A Hasselblad X-series camera.
The amber stream was put aside without looking at it, and it wasn’t until I opened a box of Shirley Rose peripherals that I became visibly happy.
After unpacking two more cashmere coats from Brunello Cucinelli, Kohakugawa said, “Yes, yes, I just want to buy you this kind of thing,” and grabbed Sakuzamori to put them on.
Sakuza Seomi felt that the world view he had built in the previous twenty-two years had collapsed:
“These are… from Santa Claus?”
“Aunt Yuko.” Kohakugawa asked, “How is it? Is it suitable? There are just two of us, one in dark gray and one in beige. Let’s wear new clothes and go out to eat today…”
Sakuzao Shengchen felt that there was one thing that couldn’t be delayed.
He grabbed Kohaku Chuanliu’s hand and told him his plan for today.

Amber River: “………………”
Sakuza Seomi: “This is difficult, I know.”
Sakuza Seomi: “But we must face it bravely.”
Sakuza Seomi held Kohakugawa Ryu’s hand, and the rings on their hands overlapped: “If such a small challenge can easily knock us down, then how can we get married?”[1]
Amber River: “…”
Amber River: “How dare you use the spell I created against me, Potter!”
Sakuza Seomi: “You said that when you meet a reliable person, you should show it to your family. I have already met your mother, and you should also meet my family.”
Amber River: “I don’t mean to curse, but your family members are all living people! I haven’t seen living family members for many years! I’m not prepared at all!”
Sakuzao Holy Minister: “………………”
This is a bit of a joke from hell.
After hearing this hell joke, Sakuza Seomi became more determined to take Kohakugawa home today, and immediately carried him out regardless of his struggle.
When Wandou saw that he was bullying Kohakugawa Ryu again, the relationship between father and daughter broke down instantly and they immediately entered a fighting state.
“Sakuzao Wandou, you look after the house.” Sakuzao Holy Minister turned around and called it’s full name seriously, “Your mother and I are going out.”
Amber River wailed: “No -”
*
“Why do you have to meet your family today? I am completely unprepared, and we have only known each other for three months, Sakuhaya!” Sitting on the Shinkansen, Kohakugawa was still trying to reason, “Think about it, if Wandou finds a little male cat that we have only known for three months, can we safely hand over the child?”
“First of all, I have known you for six years, Mr. Kohakugawa.” Sakuhaya Seomi said calmly, “Secondly, my family is very busy. They are only at home on Christmas day. If you miss it, you will have to wait another year. We have already exchanged rings, there is nothing to escape from.”
Sakuza Seomi took out a photo of his family from his phone and introduced them to him one by one:
My father, fifty-six years old, is now a professor in the literature department of a university; my mother, fifty-four years old, is now a lawyer at a well-known law firm.My sister, 32 years old, is now a designer; my brother, 28 years old, is now a doctor of medicine.
Amber River: “………………”
Amber River: “If you miss it, wait for another year, otherwise we should go again next year.”
“I’ve already told them.” Sakuzao asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Amber River: “You are a family of high-level intellectuals covering liberal arts, science, art and sports. I’m wondering if I should go to college next year to get in! Even Mumu has a college diploma!”
“What is the relationship between this?” Sakuzaaki asked in disbelief, “My annual income is only a fraction of yours!”
Kohakugawa: “Don’t talk like your annual income of 250 million yen is not money!”
Everyone in the carriage turned to look at them.
“…” Sakuzasei was silent for a while, and then said very softly to Kohakugawa, “You are a very, very shining person. It is impossible for my family to dislike you because you have never studied in college… Besides, Yu and Xiangyang have not studied either. They even went to my house for dinner when they came to Tokyo.”
Amber Chuanliu bit her lip and shook her head:
“I don’t know…I’m just a little…scared, I’m not…”
“I know.” Sakuzao Holy Minister hugged him gently and said in his ear, “My family will also become your family, so don’t be afraid.”
The author has something to say:
