v13 Chapter 18: 1 man's Christmas

"Ugh..."

The muffled noise of vacuum cleaners filled the apartment that had not been seen for a long time. At this time, Jingzi was dressed as a housewife and wore a pink apron. She was holding the vacuum cleaner in one hand to pick up the dust from the carpet, and holding the remote control in the other hand to browse the news program on the TV.

When the sound of the washing machine reminder came from the balcony, Jingzi turned off the vacuum cleaner in her hand and walked towards the balcony. She picked up the basket containing the clothes, first opened the cover on the front-loading washing machine, and then Jingzi put the inside of the washing machine again. The clothes were put into the basket one after another, and then hung one by one on the drying rack.

When Keiko returned to Tokyo from Kyoto alone, what awaited her was this high-end apartment where no one had lived for more than half a year. Keiko was so exhausted that she had time to change the bed sheets in the bedroom and fell asleep early last night. It was not until after waking up that Jingzi regained his strength to handle the hygiene at home.

Seeing that pieces of clothing and bedding were hung on the drying rack, Jingzi couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. Doesn't it seem like a housewife or something? However, it is quite fun to do things like housework occasionally, but if it is a career, Jingzi thinks that he has never thought of it.

After Jingzi used a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust from the carpet and sofa, he then wiped down the furniture and floors that had not been used for a long time. Perhaps because it was almost Christmas, Jingzi changed the bed sheets and quilt cover in the bedroom to a style with a snowflake pattern. In addition, she also carefully cleaned her bathtub. And put the newly bought toiletries in a familiar location in the bathroom.

"Grumble!"

When Jingzi finally renovated her house, her stomach began to growl. In order to relieve the exhaustion caused by housework, Keiko raised her hand and stretched it out a little. Looking at the apartment that had been completely renovated because of his work, Jingzi couldn't help but feel a little sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Okay, it's finally done, just go out and eat as your reward!"

Jingzi muttered silently in her heart, and then she picked up her coat and handbag and left the apartment.

When Keiko is walking on the familiar streets of Akasaka, she can always see traces of Christmas trees in front of some shops from time to time. This forced Keiko to add a new task to her schedule today to buy things for Christmas.

When Jingzi passed by a Spanish restaurant, the photo of paella posted on the recommended menu at the door aroused Jingzi's interest. So he stopped and walked straight into the restaurant.

"Welcome, how many guests are you?"

"One!"

"Please take a seat here!"

While talking, the staff in the restaurant led Jingzi to a seat for two. Afterwards, Keiko was presented with water and a menu.

"No, I want a paella and a glass of sangria!"

Jingzi directly handed the menu back to the other party, and then said what he wanted to eat without hesitation.

"Okay... ma'am, please wait a moment!"

The waiter who took the menu agreed and then backed off.

About ten minutes later, the paella ordered by Keiko was brought along with a glass of sangria. Keiko picked up the spoon that was at hand, and gently placed some rice along the edge of the plate and put it in his mouth. For a time, the taste of seafood contained in the rice could not help but arouse the appetite of the mirror.

...

After half an hour, after enjoying a satisfying paella, Jingzi got up and left the restaurant, and then walked into a large shopping mall that is often visited above the restaurant.

This is the place where Jingzi used to come. Although he has not visited here for more than half a year, Jingzi still remembers the counters and shops that he often cares about. Jing Zi took a brisk pace and found the foreign fruit shop that he liked very much on weekdays, and then went straight in.

"welcome!"

"Can I still preorder strawberry cake for Christmas now?"

"Um... hi! May I ask what size cake do you need to order?"

"That...I ate it by myself, so I wonder if I can make a smaller cake, but don't worry, I can still pay the original price!"

"One person's strawberry cake? Could that be too small! Ah... I'm sorry, I said redundant words, please wait a moment, I'll ask our pastry chef to answer you!"

...

After some careful communication, Jingzi finally got a positive answer from the merchant. She paid the deposit as she wished, and agreed that she would come to pick up the cake in person tomorrow afternoon. After dealing with these matters, Jingzi immediately left the foreign fruit shop and went straight to the supermarket downstairs.

Jingzi walked alone in the fresh food area of ​​the store, holding a shopping basket. Look at the variety of products on the shelves. Jingzi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"I really don't know what to buy and go back? If the dishes are too complicated, I don't have the confidence to succeed in one go! Forget it, let's find something simple and go back for dinner!"

Jingzi pondered in his heart, and without knowing it, he walked to the shelf of wagyu beef. When he saw a snowflake-shaped black cat and cow on the shelf~lightnovelpub.net~ Jingzi, who was still in trouble, suddenly had the urge to eat steak.

When Jingzi made up her mind, she quickly took a box of Kuroge Wagyu beef steak that she was most satisfied with from the shelf and put it into her shopping basket. Then Jingzi went to the dairy refrigeration area to pick up a piece of butter, and put it into his shopping basket along with some of his favorite vegetables. When she knew that she was about to leave, Jingzi went to the wine area again, picked up a bottle of Italian wine and put it in her shopping basket, and then went straight to the place to pay.

A good black Wagyu beef steak, some favorite vegetables, a piece of butter, and a bottle of wine. Jingzi returned to his apartment again with a few things. Then I turned on the TV and spent the afternoon leisure time.

...

When the steak for dinner was brought to the table by Jingzi, Jingzi also lit an incense candle for himself with great interest. She picked up a knife and fork, cut a piece of steak and put it in her mouth. As soon as he chewed it, Jingzi spit the food in his mouth directly on the plate, and then leaned back on the chair in annoyance.

"Who said frying steak is easy..."
