It is said that people are in high spirits during happy events. After returning to the organization after a day of play, Shirley habitually turned on the computer to look at the experimental data. The second phase of the drug is already under development and is currently still being tested on mice.
The air outside was a bit cold, and she still felt cold after putting on her white coat. She simply boiled hot water and made a cup of steaming coffee, then returned to her seat with the hot coffee.
This cup of hot coffee reminded her of the cup of coffee that Kuroki Ren served on the table in the morning. Today was the happiest New Year she had ever had since she was a child. Although she said thank you, she felt that it was not as good as what Kuroki Jin did.
Shirley logged into the organization's internal system and used monitoring to check the numbered mice that had taken drugs at different times. She also thought about what kind of birthday gift to give Kuroki to express her gratitude.
It's Jin Kuroki's birthday soon.
His birthday is January 14th. This was mentioned by Jiangcheng Dahe accidentally during "Fengshun" this morning. When Kuroki Jin looked at him expectantly, he said "keep it secret" and kept it secret. Kuroki Ren is so uncomfortable holding it back.
Since the day is approaching, this is the best time, but Shirley has never given any gifts to men before. She has only bought them for her sister a few times, but those are not suitable for Kuroki Ren.
Shirley fell into a headache. When she had a headache, the surveillance screen just switched, and the alarm sound of an error message interrupted her thoughts.
This is……
Shirley regained her composure after a brief shock, but upon closer inspection, she could still detect a hint of joy. She pressed the call button on the landline.
"Hey, it's me, can you come over here? ... Well, yes, I have something interesting to show you in the fourth laboratory."
After hanging up the phone, Shirley temporarily put aside the question of Kuroki Jin's birthday, which would arrive in more than ten days. She leaned back in her chair and let out a breath.
Finally, this thing is making progress.
Kuroki Ren slept until ten o'clock in the morning the next day. The mental tension before the New Year cost him a lot of energy. He ran outside for another day yesterday, and he slept for almost twelve hours before he could relax. come over.
The candy house hasn't opened yet today, and there's nothing going on with the organization. Yesterday, Shirley and Miyano Akemi were allowed to go to Echeng Taiga's shop. He didn't want to go there and be an eyesore, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. good.
Fortunately, Kuroki quickly remembered that he had promised Jiangcheng Dahe to take the children to Dorobiga Park tomorrow, so he simply made a batch of candies at home today and brought them to the children.
Jiangcheng Dahe has always been rigorous in doing things. In the end, Kuromu Ren only needed to bring small gifts for the children and did not need to worry about anything else. Jiangcheng Dahe will naturally arrange the whole day's itinerary.
Kuroki got up early the next morning. He divided the candies into five portions and packed them early. After making sure that he had not forgotten anything, he went outside to drive.
The destination was a villa in the 7th-chome of Yoneka Town. The villa was in the name of Echeng Dahe but it was bought by Kuroki Jin to house these children.
Kuroki parked the car at the door and did not drive into the garage. In order to accommodate all the people, he drove a commercial vehicle today. The car seat can accommodate up to eight people, which is more than enough to accommodate everyone.
Kuroki went to open the door. He noticed something when the key was inserted into the keyhole, but he still opened the door with a calm expression, and then a bunch of fireworks were sprayed on his face.
"Happy New Year--!"
Kuroki Jin shook his head and shook the colored paper off his head. He grabbed the little carrot head closest to him and raised it directly above his head.
"Oh——" Little Carrot No. 1 exclaimed. He looked to be only three or four years old and was the youngest child here. When he was excited, he could only shout: "Yang Ping! Yang Ping——"
"I want it too, I want it too! Brother Hinata~" The hem of his clothes was grabbed by a little girl. Kuroki Ren put down one and then picked up the other, lifting them up one by one.
"Come on, Xiao Akira, you're the only one left." Kuroki Ren waved to the child standing at the back who was obviously much older than the other children.
"I don't want it." The boy named Xiao Huang said with rejection written all over his face, "I'm already in fourth grade, don't treat me like a child..."
Before he could finish his words, a pair of hands picked him up from behind and lifted him up.
"Xiaohuang has become heavier again. If it weren't for your brother Dahe and I, no one else would be able to lift you."
"...let me go." The boy who was lifted up struggled slightly, but turned his head to one side awkwardly.
The smile on Kuroki Jin's face never broke. After distributing the guardians and wrapped candy bags to the children one by one, he touched Akira Sugitani's little head.
This time he just pouted, but did not avoid it. He just asked expectantly:
"Hinping, are you really going to take us to the amusement park today?"
"Didn't Brother Dahe tell you?" Seeing the child's cautious look, Kuroki Ren smiled softly, "Let's set off now."
The car was still driven by Kuromu Ren, and Jiangcheng Dahe was very good at comforting the children. If he hadn't been driving the five children out alone, the car might have exploded before reaching the destination. pot.
Sugawara Masazhen, who was only four years old during the Chinese New Year, was hugged by Jiang Chengdahe, otherwise he, the most active person, would have to get out of the seat belt and jump up in the car. The Takeuchi siblings, who have entered the first grade of elementary school, sat together and shared candies. The older brother Yu Takeuchi gave most of his candies to his younger sister. Chino Nanai Fumi, a second grader in elementary school, is quiet and doesn't talk much, while Akira Sugitani pretends to be calm like a little adult.
"Xiaoyu." Seeing that it was peaceful back then, Kuroki Jin, who didn't go home often, began to ask about everyone's current situation: "How is the new class? Do you have any friends with whom you have a good relationship?"
"Hanayi has made many good friends." Takeuchi Yu watched his sister stuff the candy into her mouth and smiled softly.
"I'm asking you." Kuroki Ren stopped at the red light and turned around, "You had to study in the same class as Huayi for a year at night. Most of the children in the class are younger than you. How do you get along with them?"
"It's okay." Yu Takeuchi doesn't want to talk about his own affairs. He is relatively introverted and likes to close himself in his own world and does not take the initiative to make friends.
Kuroki Jin continued: "So what new friends did Huayi make?"
"Hmm..." Six-year-old Takeuchi Hanayi counted the candy on her fingers: "Xiaonan, Axiang, Xiaohui, Ayumi..."
"Huayi is so awesome." Kuroki Jin smiled happily, "In this case, Brother Hinata will give you a task, okay?"
"Okay-" Takeuchi Hanayi agreed without even asking what it was.
"When school starts in the next year, you drag your brother and greet the classmates one by one. Every time a classmate remembers Xiaoyou's name, Brother Yangping will reward you with a candy, okay?"
"Hinata..." Yu Takeuchi wanted to interrupt Kuroki Jin, but was interrupted first by his sister: "Okay, okay, I will definitely do it."
Candies made from Kuroki kernels are everyone’s favorite delicacy.
