"I am back!"

Lin Xiu pushed open the door, took off his shoes while standing at the entrance, and called to Rena in the room.

"Welcome back, the bath water is ready, and dinner can start at any time. Do you want to eat first or take a bath first, Ernie-chan?"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's call, Reina suddenly ran to the door and greeted Lin Xiuyi happily, and then took his briefcase from Lin Xiuyi's hand!

"That... Did something happen before I came back? Why do I think you're a little weird today?"

"I was selected?"

"what?"

"I was selected, the same crew I went to interview for before. It's been so long, I thought it was over! I didn't expect to receive a call from the crew today and told me I went to the crew to report after the New Year’s holiday, I am so happy today!”

"Oh... so! No wonder you're in such a good mood today!"

Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Reina's explanation. In any case, a Rena who is not the same as usual always makes Lin Xiuyi feel a little uneasy.

"Hey, is this just your reaction? Could it be... Isn't Ernie-chan happy for my achievements?"

"Of course, of course I'm happy, so I decided to take you out to relax before the New Year's holiday. What do you think of us going skiing in Karuizawa?"

"Skiing? Sounds really good! Speaking of which, since I came to Tokyo with Oni-chan, I haven't experienced snow! It's just a pity that Akimi-chan can't go with us! By the way! ...Is it only the two of us who will go with us this time? Will anyone else go with us?"

"Did you want to ask Sakurako and Miko and the others? I'm so sorry... This event was actually organized with my colleagues from the Special Search Department, so... I can only take my family to participate! Of course, if it wasn't for Akemi-chan, because If you have a problem with work and you don’t have time, you can go with us!”

"Oh... so we're going on a trip with Miki-san this time? Karuizawa, I've only heard of this place in magazines before!"

I don't know if it's because I've been in Tokyo for too long, or because I'm looking forward to traveling with my brother for the first time. Since Rena found out about Karuizawa's travel plans, her whole attention suddenly shifted from the joy of being hired by the crew to the upcoming vacation.

"Oni-chan! How long are we going to stay there this time?"

"About three days! It's almost Christmas, and if it's too late to go back to Tokyo, traffic will be a headache!"

"So...are we going by car together?"

"No, there should be a lot of snow over there by now. Compared with driving, it is more convenient and safer to come by the Shinkansen!"

Lin Xiuyi sat in the warm hot water, while washing his body, he kept answering various questions raised by Reina outside the door. Lin Xiuyi thought about it carefully. Since Rena followed him back to Tokyo, the two brothers and sisters really didn't seem to have any chance to travel together! No wonder Rena asked so many questions about her trip to Karuizawa.

Because Reina had already prepared the ingredients for dinner and could have dinner at any time, Lin Xiuyi could have enough time to take a comfortable hot bath in the bathroom to wash away the fatigue of the day. When he changed into comfortable home clothes and came to the restaurant, Rena took the initiative to take out a frozen beer from the refrigerator and handed it to him.

"Here, there will be a lot of your favorite dishes tonight, and Ernie is just enough to drink a few more glasses!"

"Oh...thank you!"

The cool beer was slowly poured into the cup, followed by a unique fragrance of hops. Lin Xiuyi picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of soft tofu sprinkled with wooden fish and green onion, and then put it into his mouth with his hands. Although this side dish is simple to make, it is very suitable for appetizers.

"Ah... It's so comfortable! But isn't it that there will be a lot of my favorite dishes? But why is there only one tofu!"

Lin Xiuyi looked at Reina and asked her in confusion.

"Well, I just lit the charcoal fire, I think it should be able to bring it over now!"

"Eh...do you want to eat charcoal-grilled wagyu?"

"Of course not. I don't know who sent you a box of seafood today. There are many snow crabs, scallops and salmon in it. Because I knew you would come back for dinner, I wondered if I could try charcoal grilling in the evening. seafood!"

"Eh? Sent it today?"

"Well... it seems to be sent from Hokkaido! I'm still wondering, why haven't I heard you say that there are familiar friends there?"

"Wait a minute, can you bring me the courier slip and show it to me!"

When Lin Xiu heard Reina's remarks, his tone suddenly became serious. Renai couldn't help being a little surprised when she saw that Lin Xiu suddenly changed her personality!

"N... Nani? Is there a problem?"

Reina felt a little puzzled and asked Lin Xiuyi a question, then quickly got up and ran over to the packaging box, carefully peeling off the express delivery slip attached to it. Then he hurriedly handed it over to Lin Xiuyi.

"Then... is there something wrong with these foods?"

Lin Xiuyi frowned and shook his head solemnly.

"Otherwise, these seafood were sent to you by a prisoner you arrested before? Are you worried that the other party may be planning some tricks against you?"

Reina was a little worried and asked Lin Xiuyi again.

Lin Xiuyi first shook his head ~lightnovelpub.net~ and then raised his head to earnestly received the express delivery list for the package. It was not until the list was carefully put into his briefcase that Lin Xiuyi picked up the chopsticks again, and said to Reina with some emotion:

"If I'm not wrong, these things should have been sent to me by my mother in Hokkaido!"

"Nani? Mother... Mother? But... why haven't I heard Ernie-chan mention it?"

"Huh? Didn't I tell you about this before?"

"Hey, absolutely... Absolutely never told me!"

"Ah...sorry, actually...I haven't been in touch with her for a long time! The last time I remember calling her was when I first joined the Metropolitan Police Department. Our relationship was not very good, except Every New Year, she would send me some Hokkaido specialties, and we basically didn't have much contact. Last year, I happened to be in the United States to participate in the talent exchange event held by the Metropolitan Police Department. Her Hokkaido specialties should finally be It was returned!"

As soon as Lin Xiu said this, he shook his head with a wry smile, and drank the beer in one gulp.
