I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 561

Sawamura Eiri looked at the dishes on the table, then smiled and said.

Sawamura Sayuri has been busy, but she has never heard Erili tell her about this incident. Many times she just nodded and went out. I am afraid that she accidentally ignored this accident. Condition.

[Ding dong! 】

Soon, the doorbell rang outside the courtyard gate.

"?"

Out of curiosity, Sayuri Sawamura walked to the door and clicked on the monitor.

[Yinglili, I’m here now, please excuse me. 】

In the monitor, a black sports car parked at the door, and an all-too-familiar young figure stood talking over the intercom at the door. This scene made Sayuri Sawamura, who was looking at the monitor screen, suddenly stunned and felt chilled all over. .

"..."

"Um, Eiri-chan...the friend you invited...can't be Uesugi-kun..."

Sayuri Sawamura's face was pale and full of fear, and her cheeks felt a little hot. She couldn't even speak, and even said every word with a tone of surprise...

※※※

7:15 p.m.

"Happy New Year!"

At the entrance of the mansion, under a bright chandelier, Li Yan came to the door carrying a bag of packaged Peking duck and fruits. What greeted him was Sawamura Eiri and her "cousin" Sawamura. Sayuri.

"Haha... welcome, Uesugi-kun."

Sayuri Sawamura felt some cold sweat on her forehead, bowed, then greeted him with a nervous smile, and let out a few nervous laughs.

Today is an important holiday, and Sawamura Sayuri also rarely put on some light makeup. Her already charming appearance and temperament now look even more stunning.

But she still couldn't figure out why Ying Lili invited Li Yan over for dinner on New Year's Eve. This is undoubtedly not a good thing for her.

Ying Lili's idea was quite simple. Li Yan didn't seem to have a smooth New Year last year. She was simply invited so that Li Yan could have a good time during the festival.

She didn't want her friends of the opposite sex to know that her mother looked the same age as her, because she caused a sensation in elementary school and junior high school, and finally got out of the misery in high school. So under normal circumstances, she would not take the initiative to call her mom in front of others. She knew that Li Yan seemed to have always thought that her mother was just her cousin, so she had no intention of breaking this misunderstanding.

Sawamura Eiri felt that her mother was a little strange, so she immediately stepped forward and took the gift. She didn't even bother to say thank you and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Let's get ready to eat."

Li Yan smiled and said, "I'm really sorry to disturb you on New Year's Eve."

At this time, the sound of children laughing came from outside. Many people seemed to have finished their meals and began to walk to the nearby shrine.

Sayuri Sawamura and Li Yan, who were standing at the entrance, were startled. They looked out the window and through a garden, they saw a group of little ghosts and a group of adults in gorgeous kimonos behind them, talking and laughing together. Forward.

The festive atmosphere is stronger in places where there are many children. In Japan, it is not common for children to go to worship in groups because of the declining birthrate.

“…This year’s New Year’s flavor seems to be stronger.”

Li Yan looked out the window and said with some joy.

When Sayuri Sawamura heard this sentence, her rose-red eyes looked at Li Yan quietly.

Li Yan seemed to be still worried about college tuition fees last year.

Unconsciously, a year has passed, and this young man has grown up a step further than before.

Looking at it, Sayuri Sawamura is nostalgic for the past time, and she feels a little warm when she thinks about it.

"...No, I'm not bothering you. Uesugi-kun, your hometown is so far away. Let's spend dinner here tonight."

Finally, she smiled and said hello.

That being said, something is touching. However, when they were sitting at the dining table together, Sayuri Sawamura felt on pins and needles. She didn't know where to look, so she could only lower her head and look at the exquisite dishes on the lunch box. .

This time the occasion was at her home...

In this place, there are more natural variables.

The concealment for more than a year has gradually turned from a prank into what she thinks is a serious lie, and it is very likely that she will be exposed here.

It was actually a good thing to see through it. After all, she herself felt that if it was God's will, she should let it take its course.

but……

Her panic clearly told her that she didn't want to, at least she wasn't mentally prepared yet...

"How to do how to do……"

Sawamura Sayuri was sitting upright on the host's seat, feeling deeply anxious, thinking to herself.

On the other hand, Li Yan's state of mind was actually in sync with Sayuri Sawamura's.

"..."

Li Yan probably knew that the New Year's Eve dinner of wealthy people would be sumptuous, but the dishes in front of him were still a bit beyond his expectation. Today's main course for the Sawamura family's New Year's Eve dinner is huge lobster sashimi, Kobe steak, and the New Year's special dish of Japanese tofu mixed with buckwheat noodle soup, French red wine, and Japanese brand-name sake. They are all placed in the center. Only a bottle of 500ML Coke appears. Except for ordinary dishes, there is no dish that he can usually afford. He just bought a roast duck and a bag of fruit at a Chinese restaurant. Isn't it really rude?

He had the courage to spend New Year's Eve with the Sawamura family, mainly because Erili said that the only person present was her cousin, so he came over without thinking too much.

It turns out that he really has a class difference with the Sawamura family...

"What happened to the New Year's Eve dinner this time..."

Sawamura Eiri looked at Li Yan and Sawamura Sayuri, frowned slightly, and thought to herself.

"Ahem, it's time to start."

Eiri said quietly to Sayuri Sawamura.

Sayuri Sawamura came back to her senses immediately. She suddenly looked up at Eiri and hesitated for a moment before remembering that as the eldest person, she needed to say something at the New Year's Eve dinner.

She quickly regained her composure, and with a smile, she said to Li Yan and Ying Lili, "That's right, then, let's start eating."

"Happy New Year!"

Eiri smiled happily, and then looked at Sayuri Sawamura with a smile.

In the Sawamura family, the traditional rule is that during the New Year's Eve dinner, the elders start giving lucky money.

"Okay, here you go."

Sawamura Sayuri naturally understood and handed a red envelope in her sleeve to Eiri.

"Thank you!" Ying Lili said happily after receiving the red envelope.
