Chapter 3, thank you for your kind consideration

Beichuan Eri naturally sensed the indifference in Beichuan Temple's gaze, and the excitement of receiving her New Year's money was immediately suppressed, leaving her feeling somewhat anxious.

Is this person really from Beichuan Temple

Upon hearing the words "Beichuan Temple," Hoshino Nana immediately squeezed over, as this little girl truly did not expect Beichuan Temple to dare speak to her in such a manner

Mother has always entrusted her wealth to the elder of the Kitagawa family, Kitagawa Temple.

Beichuan Temple

"I don't have much of an impression." Beichuan Temple shook his head calmly

After a moment of observation, the three girls clearly felt the gaze of Beichuan Temple, and they all turned around and walked back.

At the very least, he believes that a young girl like Kitagawa Eri would have things she wants to buy and clothes she desires. He cannot concern himself with how Kitagawa Temple was in the past, but the New Year's money must still be given.

Ah?

I must sincerely thank Classmate Hoshino for your kind consideration, allowing me, this naive child, to be spared.

"How could I possibly agree to someone as useless as you?" Hoshino Nana said angrily, both furious and anxious.

"Temple ... ... Temple Mistress." Kitagawa Eri tugged at Kitagawa Temple's palm and swallowed hard

No, that's not it! It is... it is that... that Shinisan has always been working hard, and I cannot fall behind, that is to say... that is to say...

I actually got hit myself

He himself does not quite understand the customs and traditions here in Japan, but the power of money is always limitless

It is merely

Originally, I wanted to buy a few new clothes. However, when Kitagawa Eri was about to sigh, she recalled the saying, 'Happiness slips away with a sigh,' and she patted her face to encourage herself.

However

This person's voice does not even leave an impression on Beichuan Temple, and it is unlikely that he is a friend who provides valuable information through the phone; he does not even want to engage with him.

Beichuan Eri hurriedly walked towards the washroom

She just quietly saw that Beichuan Temple specifically went to the living room sofa to fetch a down jacket for herself

Beichuan Eri is wearing a navy blue short skirt, paired with a beige women's trench coat, giving her a look that is both cute and slightly innocent

The snowplow piles the thick layer of snow to the sides of the road, clearing a path for pedestrians to walk.

The sound diminishes as it progresses further.

Beichuan, after taking a winter break, you are pretending to be a big-headed ghost? Why didn't you come over to greet me when you saw me?

Beichuan Temple's gaze remained as calm and clear as before, and in response to Beichuan Eri's actions, he merely tilted his head slightly and uttered a single sentence

Seeing Beichuan Temple behave in such a manner, Hoshino Nana's expression changed. Just as she was about to get angry, she then noticed Beichuan Eri, who was cowering behind Beichuan Temple.

Beichuan Eri's pale face suddenly flushed red; she realized that Beichuan Temple had misunderstood her, leaving her looking at a loss for what to do

Bang ! ! !

He raised his head, and the indifference in his eyes not only left Hoshino Nana in a daze, but even the two little girls behind her began to doubt whether they had mistaken him for someone else

Beichuan Temple withdrew its scrutinizing gaze and rose to walk towards the living room

Could it be someone from Beichuan Temple that I met at school

Moreover, that sense of solidity does not at all resemble the feeling of casually stuffing in a few coins or one or two thousand yen

For now, let's not talk. You should go wash up and change your clothes first. Breakfast is ready, and we will set off shortly.

I still really want it, I really want it ah ah ah - I really want the New Year's money!

I have no impression of Classmate Hoshino whatsoever. Moreover, you laid hands on my sister as soon as we met, which seems rather rude, doesn't it

Was it that pathetic fool Beichuan Temple, who had been played and insulted by himself, who got beaten up?

However, the number of people has nothing to do with Beichuan Temple; he still intends to take Beichuan Eri to the New Year shrine visit

Beichuan Temple draped his down jacket over Beichuan Huili's shoulders

While thinking this, she wrapped herself in a thin coat, rubbed her hands together, leaned her body, and walked down the stairs with a patter.

"No, that's not the case, Sini-san. Don't you see that there are a few girls in front of me who are just like me?"

But who would have known that as the hand reached halfway up into the air, it was firmly grasped by Beichuan Temple

She was so angry that she could hardly articulate her words

The calm and composed demeanor left the three of them, including Hoshino, utterly astonished

"You hit me? ... ... Blood ... ... I ... ..." Hoshino Nana opened her mouth, and blood trickled down from the corner of her lips

This is for you; you can use it however you like. Beichuan Temple nodded

Feeling the familiar mockery in the gaze of the girl at the forefront, Kitagawa Temple was stirred in her heart

Not enough?

The kind of 'warm current surging in the heart' described in novels has not appeared at all

Watching the busy figure of Beichuan Temple, Beichuan Hui exhaled a puff of white breath at her own red, cold hands, then stomped her feet

These three girls are certainly acquaintances of Kitagawa Tera. The one in the lead, a girl with long hair named Hoshino Nana, was even the object of Kitagawa Tera's unrequited love during his first year of high school. However, after being called out by her under various pretenses to be teased and bullied, Kitagawa Tera basically avoids Hoshino Nana whenever he sees her again

It is merely ... ...

The time may be a bit late, but Happy New Year

The current indifferent and dismissive demeanor of Beichuan Temple feels as if it has transformed into a different entity altogether, which particularly displeases her

In response to her fierce and angry expression, Beichuan Temple merely frowned slightly and calmly retorted

"Alright! Beichuan, I was wondering why you are so bold; it turns out that this despicable fellow has found a new love."

Why does she have an inexplicable feeling of being completely consumed

Did Natsuno agree to my confession?" Kitagawa said lightly, with a calm demeanor.

Although those pants and socks appear quite thick, Beichuan Temple does not believe that they can provide sufficient warmth

Is it possible that the introverted Beichuan Temple in school would be like this? It seems unlikely no matter how one thinks about it

"Subconscious action." Beichuan Temple released Hoshino Nana's palm, his voice indifferent

If that is really the case

Can I really accept this?" Kitagawa Eri exclaimed in surprise. Just a moment ago, she was mumbling about the New Year's money upstairs, and unexpectedly, when she came downstairs, Kitagawa Temple handed the New Year's money to her.

He cannot understand what Kitagawa Eri is thinking, wearing only a short skirt and leggings in such cold weather

After having a simple breakfast of toast and milk, Kitagawa Temple and Kitagawa Eri stepped carefully on the frozen, crunching ground, making their way towards the shrine

It is merely observing the other party's demeanor

The cold air howled overhead, compelling one to bury their neck beneath the collar of their clothing

Looking at Beichuan Eri's excited expression, he feels that there is nothing wrong with his behavior

At this moment, three girls have already arrived in front of him

Beichuan Temple casually handed the red envelope containing New Year's money to Beichuan Eri, calmly offering blessings

Who am I? My name is Hoshino Nana, do you remember me now?

A slap landed on Hoshino Nana's face

Before she could reach the living room, she was called to a halt by Beichuan Temple

Hmm

Beichuan Eri glanced at her deflated wallet, expressing helplessness towards her pitiful financial situation

Who are you

The sound of Beichuan Temple still sounded rigid, yet Beichuan Eri unconsciously let out a sigh of relief

The young girl suddenly experienced an emotional outburst, and Hoshino Nana reached out her palm to grab Kitagawa Eri's face

Beichuan Temple leisurely led Beichuan Eri past Hoshino Nana

Indeed, under the guidance of Kitagawa Eri, several girls can be seen ahead walking and chatting cheerfully. Undoubtedly, their lower halves are all adorned with combinations of short skirts paired with either stockings or tights.

Last night it snowed, and the houses on both sides have been completely covered in a layer of white snow

Do not be afraid, it seems to be an acquaintance

The combination of visitors like Kitagawa Temple and Kitagawa Eri who go to the New Year shrine visit is actually not too uncommon, after all, not everyone can spare the time to rush to the shrine on January 1st

Beichuan Eri gritted her teeth, tightly clutching the red envelope in her hand, and finally

You confessed your feelings to me before! In response to Beichuan Temple's indifferent attitude, Hoshino Nana simply screamed.

Bang

Beichuan Eri certainly understands this principle

At this moment, Hoshino Nana noticed that Kitagawa Tera still had a cold demeanor upon seeing her, causing her to unconsciously quicken her pace, accompanied by a heavy nasal sound.

Before, Beichuan Temple had always maintained a sullen and silent demeanor, and Beichuan Eri was inherently very afraid of her brother, making it nearly impossible for her to obtain money from him.

... ...

It is still very cold

The personality of Beichuan Temple has changed so drastically in recent days; could this be yet another manifestation of the other party's attempt to put on a brave front? Just like in the months following my father's passing

Beichuan Temple breathed steadily, raising its head unhurriedly

"Temple, Sister Temple!" Kitagawa Eri tightly clutched the money bag with both hands, lowered her head, and returned it to Kitagawa Temple.

What made Sini-san suddenly think of going to the New Year shrine visit?

Ha—

In fact, there is no need to prepare too much for the New Year visit; for the average person, as long as there is money, the deities in the shrine will naturally be present.

If it is really too cold, how about going back to put on another pair of pants?" Beichuan Temple turned around and patiently advised.

At this moment, not only were Hoshino Nana and her close friends stunned, but even Kitagawa Eri's eyes widened in surprise

Upon this thought, Beichuan's expression subconsciously changed slightly
