Chapter 200: Sheng Mumu’s Spring Festival Holiday

The atmosphere of Spring Festival often feels the strongest on New Year's Eve.

always pays attention to ceremonial sense.

She prepared red envelopes for everyone.

The red envelopes were small so they could not fit too much cash.

The intention is more important than the money.

She wrote blessings on the back of each red envelope.

Everyone was overjoyed upon receiving them.

The smiled brightly and said, "I haven't received New Year's money in decades!"

She smelled the faint Six Gods Flower Cologne scent on the and felt especially intimate, pulling her arm tighter.

Smiling, she said, "Granny, you're just an old kid~ Receiving New Year's money is perfectly normal!"

The laughed loudly, "Oh ho ho!"

received the thickest red envelope. He waved it proudly in front of and , bragging,

"Mine is thicker than all of yours, don't be envious!"

As soon as he finished talking, casually glanced at the red envelope in 's hand.

His gaze quickly shifted away, indifferent.

The corners of his lips raised slightly, a smug arc barely noticeable.

Envious?

A red envelope like this with blessings written on it...

This was only the second time he had received one.

Beside him, paused for a moment.

She was the only one who noticed a certain CEO's micro-expression.

She sighed to herself inwardly: Men.

His tail has perked up again.

After New Year's Eve, the leisurely holiday pace began.

But for the two workaholics and one high school senior at home, even an unscheduled break felt exceptionally precious.

Being able to while away time in tranquil, uneventful days was not an unhappy thing.

rare wrote in her e-diary, titling it — 's Spring Festival Holiday Diary.

Day 1 of New Year:

Plan for the morning, watch anime with .

But this kid actually binge watched all of "Slam Dunk" without me knowing and even secretly ordered the Nationals arc manga online.

Did he forget that he is still in high school? ?へ ?

I had prepared a bunch of snacks, ready to enjoy Sakuragi Hanamichi’s perfect three pointers. My plans were foiled.

Oh well.

Since it’s New Year, I’ll spare his life this time.

We can just watch something else.

Luckily he hasn’t seen "Naruto" yet.

This time, I must whisper spoilers in little Qi’s ear at the right moment.

Quietly tell him —

"Oh, Jiraiya he—"

"Oh, Asuma he—"

"Oh, Neji he—"

Hiahiahia~

Just thinking about it is fun already!

?(?>? over to continue watching today but and came.

was dissatisfied, thinking his mahjong loss last time was due to bad luck.

He came today to get revenge.

I laughed.

This silly brother seemed to have never tasted the bitterness of reality’s beatings before.

It was his brother-in-law’s first time playing mahjong last time. He only learned casually yet still wiped the floor with all three of them.

When someone is intelligent enough, luck and superstition don’t matter as much anymore.

I was about to advise my silly brother to rein himself in.

From the corner of my eye, I saw that man on the second floor.

had an unperturbed look on his face after overhearing ’s words.

also saw and boldly threw down a gauntlet: “Brother-in-law, I challenge you!”

Me: ......

Alright then...

I’ll stop writing my diary here for today.

I’ll probably come back tomorrow to report the results of this battle that will last until midnight...

Day 3 of New Year:

I (with eye bags) am back.

As I expected.

That mahjong match yesterday lasted from 1 PM all the way to 1 AM.

The big winner — me again.

It wasn’t because my skills were exceptionally good.

It was because I had the strongest partner — .

Hmph~ No matter how much they win, in the end they still have to obediently hand it all over to me.

(~ ?▽ ?)~

Hehehe, I'm not bragging!

I’m just using this little corner of my diary to praise Mr. CEO Qi’s chivalry a bit.

He can’t see this diary, otherwise he’d pretend to be all proper while secretly feeling smug again.

He’s showering right now.

I’m writing my diary on the bed.

I’ll hurry up and finish recording today before he comes out...

Day 3 of New Year:

Still watching anime with little Qi in the afternoon.

He’s getting more and more into it.

During dinner he even discussed the characters animatedly with me.

I suddenly don’t have the heart to spoil anything for him.

Should I just give up whispering spoilers?

Ah, the shower has stopped. Qi Black Dog finished his shower.

I immediately make a big move of swiftly closing my laptop!

Day 4 of New Year: n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After three days of watching anime and playing mahjong at home, I finally went out today!

Today’s theme: Sister tea party~

Refreshing and warm.

I made plans with sister , , to go get beauty treatments done together.

Wuhu~ヾ(??▽?)ノ

I feel like I’m fragrant from head to toe.

Before leaving, I asked if she wanted to join us.

As expected, she rejected me saying she wanted to stay home and raid, there would be epic gear drops today.

What on earth is that?

I don’t really understand the encrypted language of gamer girls.

Next time, I must get her out to participate in group activities! (clenches fist)

Oh right.

When I got home at night, little Qi was sitting resentfully in the living room.

I asked him why he didn’t call me to come home quicker.

He arrogantly threw out a CEO line: I wouldn’t be so bored.

Acting completely like an adult.

It was even funnier.

I can probably imagine what he’ll be like in the future already.

*sighs piously* Dear Lord, your disciple wishes to have a balanced diet of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes her whole life. Please let little Qi’s personality become gentler and less stubborn in the future.

Being too stubborn can lead to a rough life.

Oh wait.

I suddenly recalled something.

Earlier Qi Black Dog was also looking at me somewhat resentfully.

Could it be that he’s unhappy I haven’t had time to accompany him these past two days?
