    Chapter 44 New Year

    The two of them returned home carrying a bunch of things given by their parents in large and small bags. Kohakugawa played with peas for a while despite being sleepy, then yawned and went back to the room to catch up on his sleep, while Sakuza Seiomi was cleaning up the house.In fact, from the first time Kohakugawa Ryu started, I wanted to ask, is Sakuzaa Seomiji not sleepy after tossing all night long?He didn’t want to ask after too many times. Maybe some people could be attackers because they had some talents.

    Kohakugawa slept for most of the day, and Sakuzasei also went to train on his own. When he came back, he saw him sitting on the bed in a daze, so he casually asked: “Is it boring to rest for so long?”

    “Bored?” Kohaku Chuanliu seemed to have come to his senses and shook his head firmly, “In the past three months of rest, my only thought is that I really hope I never have to go back to work.”

    “…”

    Sakuza Seomi actually couldn’t understand it. Judging from his own situation, he couldn’t accept not playing volleyball for three months.

    Kohakugawa is another person with extremely low desires. It’s really strange. He carries so much love and desire from so many people, but he himself is indifferent. He doesn’t go out much, doesn’t shop much, and doesn’t have other strong hobbies like Solitama and Tachibana Yukito.If he doesn’t even like the job of acting, it seems like there really isn’t anything he likes in the world.

    “If,” thinking of Kohakugawa Ryu’s previous work, which was a physically and emotionally exhausting death journey, Sakuza Seomi thought for a while and asked him, “if you really don’t like acting, have you ever considered doing something else in the future?”

    Kohaku Chuanliu’s eyelashes trembled suddenly.

    His eyes wandered in the air, not like thinking, but like some kind of avoidance.He hesitated for a while, and finally sighed imperceptibly: “…Let’s just act.”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister also fell silent.

    He thought that the only possible explanation was that the person in front of him once had a dream that he was willing to work hard for, but that dream was shattered before it could be realized.

    The only dream was shattered, and it couldn’t even be said that I had worked hard for it—success or failure, at any rate, I had a result.There are no results, so whatever I do in this life is the same and it doesn’t matter anymore.

    “Well, let’s not talk about it.” After a while, Sakuzamori said, “Did Ms. Nikaido tell you when to go back and start working?”

    “I didn’t say anything. I told her that we were going to attend Yukito and Ushijima’s wedding in the first month of the year. She said we would talk about it after the wedding. She must have made arrangements anyway.”

    “Don’t travel too much.” Sakuzao said with a straight face, “Take good care of yourself.”

    “I will -” Kohaku Chuanliu drawled, threw herself into his arms and said with a smile, “Because I have someone I love, and I want to live with him for a long, long time. When I become an old star and he becomes an old volleyball player, we will still be together.”

    When the new home was renovated, the fireplace in the living room was retained. When the two of us are staying at home in the winter, we can occasionally light it to increase the atmosphere.

    The two sat face to face on the single sofa next to the fireplace. Sakuha Seomi was using the computer to read the analysis sent by the team’s data engineer. Kohakugawa had nothing to do, so he took Sakuha Seomi’s book from the bookshelf to read. The book he had in hand was “Sports Rehabilitation” as thick as a brick.

    In the evening, Sakuzao Shengchen stood up to cook, and inadvertently looked into the courtyard: “…Ah.”

    Amber Chuanliu looked up from the book and exclaimed:

    “It’s snowing!”

    Osaka is a very warm city next to the Seto Inland Sea. It usually snows from January to February.The snow fell much earlier this year, and this is the first snow this winter.

    It was also the first time Kohakugawa saw snow in Osaka.He lay in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and stared intently at the snowflakes falling in the courtyard bit by bit, like fine silver sand that quickly melted.

    Sakuza Seomi looked at his back from the open kitchen, put the cooked food into the thermal bucket, poured two more cups of hot water with honey, walked over and found a thick down jacket for Kohaku Gawa to put on.

    Amber River asked: “What’s wrong?”

    “Go and see the snow.” Sakuzao Shengchen tied a scarf on him and tied it with an aesthetically pleasing bow, “Let’s go, I know a place.”

    He quickly checked his phone, checked the car’s tires and winter emergency kit, then packed the Amber River and stuffed it into the passenger seat.When the seat heating was turned on in the car, Ambergawa took off the bow on the spot.

    Their villa was originally located on the Ikoma Mountains. Sakuza Seomi drove the car along the road all the way up the mountain, and finally stopped at the top of the mountain.

    In the distance, the city lights of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto formed a vast sea of ​​silver, looking hazy and gentle under the falling snow.

    Amber River: “Wow——”

    The two people got out of the car and lay down in front of the railing on the top of the mountain in the crisp air, eating oden and drinking hot honey water.The city spreads out before our eyes, like a huge diamond necklace.From time to time, fireworks bloom in the night sky, spinning and falling into the world together with the falling snow.

    “I feel like drinking is more appropriate in this scene.” Kohaku Chuanliu said suddenly.

    “You can still drink?” Sakuzao Shengchen looked at him with disbelief.

    Kohaku Chuanliu was speechless for a while, wondering how he could not drink in the industry. Finally, he broke the jar and said: “…Yes, that’s right, I smoke and drink in private.”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister looked at him for a long time and only said: “It will not be allowed in the future.”

    Amber River: “I know——”

    It was even colder on the top of the mountain. After standing for more than ten minutes, Amber couldn’t stand it anymore and ran back to the warm car.Sakuzao Holy Minister followed in, looking a little worried.

    Amber River asked him: “What’s wrong?”

    Sakuzao Shengchen shook his head: “I just suddenly felt…”

    “I feel like you don’t know me very well.” Kohaku Chuanliu said with a smile, “What should I do? Returns and exchanges are no longer possible.”

    “No.” Sakuzao Holy Minister immediately denied it, paused and then said, “…but you should tell me more things.”

    “What do you want to hear, descendant of the Holy Minister?”

    Amber Chuanliu leaned over, turned his face away from the cold face, kissed him with a smile, and said:

    “I’ll tell you whatever you ask.”

    Sakuza Sacred Minister lowered his eyes to look at his lips, his eyes darkened, and then raised his eyes to look into Kohaku Chuanliu’s eyes.

    His expression seemed a little unconvinced, but also a little…childish?

    Kohaku Chuanliu was confused and didn’t know what he wanted to ask.However, Sakuzao Holy Minister suddenly pressed over, kissing and biting him with some ferocious aggression.

    Amber River: “…!”

    After a while, Sakuza Sasaki got up from Kohaku River, with a glimmer of light in his dark eyes.

    “Then,” he paused and asked a bit angrily, “have you done this with many people?”

    “…while acting.”

    Kohaku Chuanliu finally came to his senses. He wanted to ask who he had filmed kissing scenes with.

    “Are you going to assassinate them one by one?” Kohaku Chuanliu couldn’t help laughing, “But I can’t give you an assassination list here.”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister asked dully: “Why?”

    “Because there is no one.” Kohakugawa said, “Aunt Yuko is my guardian, so when filming kiss scenes, I always borrow my seat or use a stand-in… I kissed you that day, but it was my first kiss.”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister was stunned for a moment.

    As if he was getting pampered little by little, he leaned forward to Kohaku Chuanliu’s neck and asked more and more:

    “Then, have you ever liked anyone before me?”

    Kohaku Chuanliu thought for a moment and told him: “Yes.”

    “…” Sakuzao Holy Minister was so angry that he took a bite of him.

    “He’s from Jingda Mountain, but I don’t know who he is.” Amber Chuanliu added with a smile.

    Sakuza Seomi asked in disbelief: “You don’t know who he is and you still like him?!”

    “Oh, please listen to me first.” Kohakugawa pushed his head further away. “Just before I quit the club and prepared to transfer to another school, Iizuna suddenly mentioned to me one day that there was a very powerful new attacker in the volleyball club. I had already given up on volleyball, but before I left, I couldn’t help but secretly go to the volleyball hall to take a look. They were playing a practice match, and I only saw a very tall figure leaping into the air.”

    “At that time, I thought, he is so handsome. If you ask me if I have liked anyone before, I think my heart was beating loudly at that moment, it must be that I like him.” Kohaku Chuanliu continued.

    Sakuzaaki looked into his eyes and seemed to understand what he was about to say.

    “…I left without seeing his face that day, but I still remember the number on his uniform.” Kohaku Chuanliu asked with a smile, “No. 10, junior Shengchen, when you were in the volleyball club, who was the No. 10 in Jingda Mountain?”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister: “…”

    The answer is self-evident.

    Sakuza Seomi stopped talking, pushed him down in the back seat of the car, and kissed him deeper.

    The space in the car was narrow, so he fumbled to place a pillow under Kohaku Chuanliu’s waist.The sound of fireworks was still heard in the distance, and the snowflakes reflected the moonlight, falling like fine sand, spinning and wrapping the two people in the car in the gentle milky way.

    At midnight, the city clock rang twelve times.

    “Happy New Year, Liu.” Sakuzao Holy Minister stopped, intertwined his fingers, and said softly.

    “…Happy New Year, Holy Minister.” Amber Chuan looked at the roof of the car absentmindedly and gasped, “I love you.”

    The next day.

    Kohaku Chuanliu sat up from the bed: “Ah sneeze——!”

    If Yuan Komori is also a spirit in heaven (he is not), he will definitely be very happy to see this sneeze.When these two people took him out as an excuse to fall in love, he sneezed too many times for no reason, and now it was finally their turn.

    “36.3°C.” Sakuzaaki looked at the thermometer. “I don’t have a fever, I just have a cold. Maybe I got cold last night. I’m going to make some medicine. You can take it and have a good rest. You can’t go to the New Year’s Ceremony today.”

    Amber Chuanliu said with a thick nasal voice: “No——”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister said categorically: “No.”

    Amber River: “…Okay.”

    Kohaku Chuanliu drank the medicine and felt dizzy, but he didn’t want to sleep.

    During the stalemate with Sakuzao Holy Minister, a loud noise suddenly came from the door.

    “Happy New Year!” Kotaro Kotaro’s loud voice came.

    “Chenchen! Liuliu! Happy New Year! We’re here to say hello!” Hinata Xiangyang also said, holding up the screen where he was video chatting with Gong Yu, “Come and say hello to Yu Yu!”

    “…” Sakuzao Holy Minister asked unbearably, “Why can you come in?!”

    Gong Yoo on the screen answered him matter-of-factly:

    “Because Liuliu also allowed us to enter the face recognition system at the door.”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister: “…”

    The author has something to say:

    It’s late, aaa, Happy New Year!In order to publish this chapter in time for the first day of the new year, I wrote so hard that I couldn’t even keep my eyes open, and now I’m about to fall into a coma.
