Not too many out of four

"Lijia...Lijia..." A slight push came from across the quilt, "Wake up, don't you want to get up early to unwrap presents?"

She responded vaguely, turned over and shrank into the bed: "Well, I will sleep for a while."

Last night, she woke up in the middle of the night and worked for half an hour. She didn't feel sleepy when she came back to sleep. She rolled around on the bed for a long time before slowly falling asleep. Now she only felt that she had just fallen asleep and was about to be woken up soon.

"It's already ten o'clock in the morning, don't you want to get up?" The young man sitting beside her bed said helplessly, "Don't you want to come and see the present?"

The drowsiness kept pulling her spirits and continued to sink into a dream. She closed her eyes and muttered: "...I'll watch it later."

She is really sleepy now. Last night when she was arranging the Christmas decorations, she didn't go to bed until late, and she woke up in the middle of the night to secretly put on the presents she bought separately. Now she really doesn't have the energy to get up again.

Even when she heard the low and slow voice waking her up, she felt that it was the voice of Nian Nian who came to invite her to sleep and lull her to sleep.

"Today is Christmas, and Kudou is back." Just knowing that Li Jia hadn't woken up yet, she took the Christmas gifts she was going to give to him, the children of the Detective Boys, and Dr. Ali and went back to the next door.

There were so many gifts that one person couldn't carry them, so "Mr. Zhongye" and "Zhongye" followed him and sent them to the next door.

Although she doesn't have much contact with the children of the Detective Boys, when preparing Christmas gifts, Li Jia did not miss the group of children who often come to visit.

Because the doctor likes them very much, and his elder brother often plays "detective games" with them, Li Jia even prepares their gifts together.

It just so happened that it snowed on Christmas Eve last night, and a thin layer of snow has piled up outside this morning.

It's not enough to have a snowball fight, but it's still no problem to simply build a little snowman.

"Well, brother is back too?" Li Jia half-opened her eyes, struggled to get out of the warm and nostalgic bed, covered her lips and yawned softly: "Did you take the Christmas present?"

"Brother Zhongye" who was standing by her bed waiting for someone to get up nodded, "Their gifts have been sent to the next door, so don't worry."

On the contrary, Li Jia didn't get up anymore, and the Christmas she was thinking about was about to be slept through by her for most of the day.

She sat on the bed blankly, her soft black hair curled up like a small animal with fried fur, her vision was blurred and she blinked slowly, a few bright red flashed before her eyes.

"What is that...?" She collected herself and tried to look over.

Four bulging Christmas stockings hung at the end of her bed, where she could see them as soon as she sat up, obviously something that hadn't been there before she went to bed last night.

"Probably a gift from Santa Claus to good children." "Brother Zhongye" said with a low smile.

Knowing that there is no Santa Claus in the world and still saying such things, of course it is because a cute little girl secretly pretended to them as "Santa Claus" in the middle of the night.

The biological clock in the morning wakes up the consciousness in time, and the first thing you see when you open your round cat eyes is not the familiar room layout, but the Christmas present that is almost in front of you.

Even the palm-sized Christmas socks were bulging to reveal a corner of the gift wrapping, which almost blocked them in the cat's nest.

The Christmas gifts placed next to the cat litter are naturally gifts for the cats in their form. The knitted scarves, hats and cloaks are almost equivalent to gifts prepared by Li Jia herself when the cats already have fur to keep them warm. .

She wanted to see them wear new cat clothes for a long time, but they hadn't worn these little cat clothes for a long time after they could become human.

"Brother Zhongye" doesn't intend to maintain the state of the cat today, but he tied the cat scarf around his wrist, which can be regarded as using Lijia's Christmas gift on Christmas Day.

"Why don't you come and see what the gift is?" The young man raised his eyebrows and smiled freely, "Santa Claus really wants to know whether the little girl who receives the gift likes this gift or not."

Slowly waking up from the sleepy spirit, she pursed her lips and whispered, "There is no Santa Claus..."

Not all the gifts they prepared.

Only her family's "Santa Claus" will prepare four Christmas gifts for her, and other children only receive one gift, and she actually has four Christmas socks hanging here.

Li Jia bent down and stretched out her hands to take out the presents in the Christmas stockings. Looking at the presents in different sizes and shapes, she was slowly jumping with joy and excitement.

She asked curiously, "What's in it?"

Holding the gift box in her hands, she wanted to shake it to find out what was inside, but she was afraid that it contained fragile items.

"Brother Zhongye" said innocently: "Isn't this the answer that only Santa Claus knows? Ask me but I can't give you an answer."

Li Jia snorted softly, and muttered: "If you don't say it, don't say it, I will dismantle it myself."

Anyway, if he doesn't say anything now, she will know what's inside when she unwraps the gift.

Her fingers moved left and right on the four gift boxes in front of her, and she was hesitating which one to open first.

"Can't you choose yet?" He was a little helpless. Unwrapping the presents is not just a matter of choosing one at random, so he hesitated for a long time.

Li Jia pursed her lips and said firmly, "I picked it out, just to see if I can guess what's inside."

She stretched out her hand to clasp a small box. The dark green plaid wrapping paper was tied with a dark blue ribbon to form a diagonal cross, and a dry white flower was fastened at the cross at the corner.

"I'm going to take this apart first!"

"Brother Zhongye" raised his brows and asked with a smile, "Have Li Jia guessed what's inside?"

To be honest, this is not a gift from him, and he doesn't know what it is, but he is curious about what gift Li Jia thinks they will give.

"Things like aromatherapy bottles...?" She hesitated and said, "It feels about the same size."

But Zhongyuan Chuya and they don't look like people who would give this kind of thing.

"Or lipstick? Cosmetics?" Aren't these all the gifts that boys can choose blindly when they don't know what to give?As long as it is not an exaggerated color number or a style that cannot be used at all, it is basically a simple choice for general use.

"Brother Zhongye" was noncommittal: "You will know when you take it apart and have a look."

Li Jia didn't want to damage the packaging of the gift, so she could only use her fingernails to carefully hold the scotch tape at the junction of the borders, and unwrap the wrapping paper bit by bit until the whole sheet lay flat in front of her.

"It doesn't matter if you just tear it apart." He clicked his tongue, wondering how long it will take to tear it apart like this.

Li Jia paused when she was about to open the lid, and said in a low voice, "I don't want to destroy such a beautiful package."

She also thought about taking out the gift inside, and using wrapping paper and ribbons to restore the original gift.

It's such a shame to roughly tear it open and throw it away, so beautifully wrapped.

"Did Brother Zhongye tear it open in the morning?" She had noticed that her knitted cat scarf was worn directly on the wrist by the young man as a jewelry, and they must have opened the gift as soon as they got up.

His face froze suddenly, thinking of the gift wrapping that he had unpacked and then crumpled up and thrown into the trash, he didn't know whether to speak directly.

But "Brother Zhongye" didn't make a sound, and Li Jia could still see the bright colors in the trash can in the bedroom.

She smiled and comforted: "It's okay, I don't really care."

It would definitely be easier to unwrap the presents directly. There should be a small number of people like her who dawdle and want to keep the beautiful wrapping paper, and the ribbons and wrapping paper that are removed will not be reused.

Always hoarding a bunch of useless things that you don’t want to throw away at home, it’s better to start throwing them away, and then you don’t have to hesitate to throw them away or not.

"Ah, it's perfume!" Li Jia carefully picked up the beautiful perfume bottle, and the amber translucent bottle body was shaken slightly, and the liquid inside was also lifted up with fine gold-plated substances.

The unique and distinctive LOGO is printed in the middle of the perfume bottle. The body of the bottle is designed in the shape of an apple. The nozzle consists of leaves and apple stems. The whole perfume bottle looks like a golden apple that can be held in the hand.

"To the most beautiful goddess..." Li Jia couldn't help laughing, "This must be a gift prepared by Chuya."

"Mr. Zhongye" and "Mr. Zhongye" don't have such a style, and "Brother Zhongye" didn't look like he knew what was inside just now, so the remaining people who exclude the three of them are "Zhongye".

It is not surprising that such a gift would be given out in the usual habits and style of a teenager, but this special "golden apple" is a bit surprising.

"Brother Zhongye" raised his eyebrows, that kid has good taste.

He handed over a utility knife and said, "Use this to open quickly, there are still many presents waiting for you to unwrap downstairs, if you keep going, I will unwrap the presents today until you don't want to open them anymore. "

"Gifts from Kudo, Mori, and the doctor have all been sent over. Although we sent out a bunch of gifts, we also sent back quite a few."

Li Jia was a little surprised: "That's really going to be faster."

Not just to open presents, but also to visit and say hello in the past.

Even if it's not the first lunar month and the new year, but after taking these many gifts, you have to go to meet people and say hello.

The blade gently slid across the junction of the package to split the tape in two, and after taking it apart lightly, Li Jia was a little uncertain: "Is this from Mr. Zhongye or from Mr. Zhongye?"

A beautiful headband, embroidered with silver dark flowers intertwined with mysterious and delicate patterns, two sections decorated with small cat head bells, just suitable for her long hair that is gradually growing past her back.

It's just that Li Jia is not sure whether it is a gift from "Mr. Zhongye" or "Mr. Zhongye".

"This one seems to be from the little ghost, and that guy's gift is still in these two." "Brother Zhongye" still couldn't hold back the reminder. in a hurry.

He couldn't help but think, the probability of choosing one of the four is not low, right?

Why did he go to the last two positions? Is his gift not attractive to Li Jia?

"Perfume and headband, what will Mr. Chuya and brother Chuya give?"

She laughed softly, not only did her anticipation and curiosity not extinguish, but it began to become more intense.

It seems that Nakahara Chuya and the others have the same idea as her, and the gift is only meaningful if it can give people a sense of surprise.

"Brother Zhongye" said vaguely, "You will know when you take it apart and have a look."

The same words were spoken in a completely different tone from just now. The young man seemed to feel that just watching Li Jia unwrap the presents would make people gradually nervous. He chose well.

"That's right," Li Jia clasped his hands together and clamped the utility knife between his fingers, and said solemnly, "Next, I'll take the two apart together."

"Ah?" He was stunned for a moment, watching Li Jiali open the package and leaving two bare boxes, nervously said: "Wait, wait, it's better to take one by one?"

In fact, there is no need to be so anxious, he is not urging her to finish the dismantling now.

"It's okay, I'm ready." She nodded with a smile, her eyes focused on the two gifts in front of her, and she pressed her hands lightly on the surface of the box.

"Brother Zhongye" was nervous for a moment, couldn't help pressing her right hand, and said in a low tone, "Let's watch one by one?"

In case Lijia's attention is all attracted by the gift from that guy, he doesn't know what expression to show.

He was still the one who stayed behind to watch Li Jiaxi open the presents. If he had known that he would go to the next door to deliver things like the little ghosts, he would come back afterwards and ask Li Jiaxi if he liked the gift.

The reaction when seeing a gift at first sight must be the most authentic. In case Li Jia really likes their gifts more than his own, as long as he doesn't see Li Jia's reaction at that time, he can still tell himself that she likes this Christmas gift very much.

"Oh—" she dragged her voice slowly, "So this is a gift from Brother Zhongye."

The smile and ridicule raised from the corners of the girl's eyes and brows became cute and charming in the eyes of the young man who admired her. He sighed helplessly, "Yes, this is from me."

Or did he prepare the gift that she cheated out of, "Brother Zhongye" was a little uncertain, Li Jia probably hasn't guessed what he will give, right?

With a probability of [-]/[-], it is not surprising to guess that it is him, but what the gift is, it should not be so easy to guess.

"Then let me take a look at Mr. Chuya's gift first." Finally, I will open the gift of "Brother Chuya", as a perfect curtain call for the gift opening game.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but wonder what gift "Mr. Chuya" would prepare.

It's been a while since that guy turned into a cat, and the Christmas presents must have been prepared and kept at home, waiting to be brought out on Christmas Day.

What he didn't expect was that "Mr. Chuya" in the cat state would still remember to give Li Jia a gift.

And imitate them to tuck in the Christmas stocking well and hang it at the end of the bed.

"Mr. Nakaya sent a collar," Li Jia was a little surprised, a collar that was very simple but looked quite high-quality, not too fancy and strange.

"It doesn't seem to be the kind of positioning collar made by the doctor." It is probably an ordinary decorative collar without special functions on the outside.

The texture of the leather feels good to the touch, and the inner ring is soft and comfortable plush, which will not make people who wear the collar uncomfortable for the first time. The position of the hole on the top is also measured to fit her.

Chuuya & Rika

The inner side of the collar is specially engraved with such words.

She lightly rubbed the name on it with her fingertips, she smiled softly and raised her eyebrows softly, and raised her voice slightly: "Brother Zhongya is left at last, I'm going to start dismantling it?"

He withdrew the hand that was pressing the gift box, and nervously clenched it into a fist and pressed it on his leg, swallowing: "As you like, it's already given to you anyway."

Li Jia couldn't help but let out a small laugh.

It's really so open and easy for her to open it casually, and she wouldn't force her to open it just now.

The gift prepared by "Brother Zhongye" didn't look big, and Li Jia guessed it was something small.

Unexpectedly, it was a pair of special hair clips of different colors.

"Is this... us?" She was a little surprised. This pair of cat hairpins looked very similar to the hairpins given by "Brother Zhongye" before, but it was different from the black cat hairpins that time.

This time it was an orange cat and a black cat. The image of the orange cat looked very similar to the Chuya cat, and the shape of the black cat was the one she embroidered on the handkerchief before.

"...Well, don't you like it?" Raising his hand awkwardly to touch the back of his neck, he asked unnaturally away from his head.

He couldn't help but keep peeking at Li Jia's face, wondering her real reaction.

The warm and beautiful blue eyes blinked quietly, and she asked softly: "Are there two different hair clips in the world now?"

The young man fell silent, what did he want to say, this is a custom-made hairpin from someone outside.

Although it doesn't look very expensive, it means very special to them, and it is also the gift he wants to give Li Jia most.

"I like it very much." Holding the four carefully selected gifts in her arms, she said softly, "As long as it is a gift from Zhongye, I will like it."
