Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

She and Xueyue were the closest and knew each other well, since they used to go out and have fun together often. She could tell that Xueyue was just joking around. If she really didn't want to, she would have refused seriously long ago. Why would she lose her composure and pretend to be drunk?

"Do you know Sister Yuanchu?"

Yuzu didn't continue the previous topic, but instead said with some emotion.

"Know what?"

"At the beginning of the semester, I always thought that I was constantly getting the short end of the stick in front of you because I was too young and lacked life experience."

Yuzu pointed at Xu Lin and the young lady, then gestured to Sister Yan who had just left, and finally focused her gaze on Yuan Chu's eyes, saying with particular sincerity.

"But I've realized now that it's not a matter of having two years less experience than you, and university life isn't that great for developing one's mind."

At this point, she smiled and shook her head, her expression unusually serious, her eyes unusually sincere.

In the two months since they met, this was one of the most serious moments Yuzu had ever been in.

"It's simply because everyone at ESC is special."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

The fledgling kite tilted its head and asked seriously.

"If a person wants to become mature, the first thing is to understand the word 'human' thoroughly. Regardless of their shortcomings, everyone in ESC has at least grasped the basics."

The girl wrote the character "人" (person) stroke by stroke, speaking seriously and earnestly.

"Whether it's my sister, Sister Yan, you, or anyone else, they all did this, but I didn't feel it at all before."

"That's probably what makes our company completely different from other companies."

So what are you trying to say?

Tobi was even more confused. Although she agreed with Yuzu's statement and felt a sense of sudden realization, she still didn't understand what Yuzu was trying to express.

I mean ww.

Yuzu raised her glass and smiled gently.

"Meeting you all, meeting you, is one of the luckiest things in my life."

"Thank you."

The afternoon sun shone on the short-haired girl, and a gentle breeze caressed her cheeks. Her demeanor was completely different from the mischievous and playful little sister she usually was. If the previous Yuzi was a small, flickering flame that could illuminate others but also hurt them, at this moment she had become a pot of warm water, quiet and calm yet able to soothe people's hearts.

In a daze, Yuanchu seemed to see her growth, and was so touched that she couldn't speak for a long time. When she came to her senses, strange words had already come out of her mouth.

"Holy crap, Yuzu, you're not planning to use this contrast to impress me first, then confess your feelings, and then do *that* to me in the room when Yi Yi is drunk, are you?"

Yuzu's face instantly darkened, and her demeanor completely collapsed.

"Sister Yuanchu, why did you have to copy my older sister so perfectly, learning all of her sarcastic remarks? If I really had that kind of intention, do you think you could have escaped before?"

Xu Lin's bizarre remarks, combined with her own driving speed, were simply a masterclass in ruining the atmosphere. Yuzu felt as if all her previous seriousness had been wasted. What kind of brain fart could make her share her life insights with Yuan Chu?

"Pfft www"

Yuanchu laughed, not in a sharp, shrill way like she was wiping a plate, but in a clear, gentle laugh.

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it. I was just so shocked by you that I didn't think before I spoke."

She brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead, raised her glass, and clinked it against Yuzu's.

"I'll drink this glass of wine, and by the way, let's get to know each other again."

"My real name is An Ai. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Chapter 33, Section 327: A new couple has emerged; how can we stand still?

Not only has Yuzu grown, but Yuanchu has also taken this opportunity to resolve her inner conflict and take a new step forward.

Before this, she had never mentioned her real name to anyone except Lin-chan, and in fact, she didn't intend to get close to anyone.

The name "Yuanchu" represents her life at ESC, but it is definitely not her whole life. So everyone understands what it means to only mention this name, but they tacitly refrain from mentioning it and instead gently forgive this girl with a wounded heart.

This is probably the unique warmth that ESC Company possesses.

A group of people with their own stories came together, supporting each other and eventually all of them showed up for this team building event. They played around and did live streams together, which strengthened their relationships and brought their hearts closer together.

Perhaps this is the greatest significance of team building.

On a smaller scale, if we only consider the perspectives of Tobi and Yuzu, their relationship is actually similar to, yet completely different from, that of the young lady and Izanagi.

Xu Lin and Xu Youyue are two lonely people who warm and tolerate each other, and eventually come together as lovers and family. Their unique warmth is irreplaceable.

The relationship between Tobi and Yuzu is more like two heartbroken people huddling together for warmth. One is naive and unrestrained, while the other is worldly-wise but hides her true self with a cynical exterior. Both of them are stubbornly proud and aloof, making it difficult for either of them to resolve their inner conflicts.

Xu Lin's teachings were utter nonsense to Yuzu, which was a matter of perspective. Xueyue, who had many friends, couldn't give Yuanchu the feeling of being needed by others.

People always need to have some goals in life.

But her mother's death made her completely lose this goal, so she became muddled and indifferent.

This is An Ai's biggest inner conflict.

However, precisely because of this, when the two Yuzu and Tobi-Hina meet, they unconsciously show their gentle side to each other. Tobi-Hina's wholehearted teaching and pampering make Yuzu understand that not all relationships will develop into love, while Yuzu's transformation makes Tobi-Hina realize how ridiculous she is.

Yuzu said she had seen through the word 'human,' but she knew very well that she hadn't seen through it at all before. Otherwise, she wouldn't have put on the disguise of 'Yuzu' while being completely afraid to let others into her world.

The one clinging to the past and wallowing in it is not Yuzu, but Tobi-chan.

Now that Yuzu has taken a step towards maturity, it's even less likely that she, who considers herself the 'older sister,' will remain stagnant.

It's just about moving forward without looking back.

It's not that difficult.

Really.

While Yuzu was in a daze, Yuzu turned around and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. After finally making up her mind, she felt much lighter.

It was as if she had forcefully thrown away a burden that had been weighing on her heart for 800 meters; the air felt fresher, and the sunlight was less gloomy and brighter.

Only after entering the next stage can people look back and see how immature they were before.

People with mature values ​​are often stubborn. Everyone understands the big principles, but the reason why a principle is a principle is because you can only understand it after you have personally experienced and thought about it.

As the ancients said, "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles," which is exactly the point.

[After you get back, go and see your mother.]

The kite chick thought to itself silently.

Her mother was given a sea burial according to her own wishes before she passed away. This woman, who had been bound by societal constraints her whole life, not only hoped that her beloved daughter would no longer be bound by worldly conventions, but also finally let go of everything after her death and chose to let her ashes drift freely with the waves.

But Iris still kept a memorial tablet for her in her mother's room at home.

Although the room is locked except during holidays.

"Yes! It's nice to meet you. My name is Xu You!"

Yuzu finally came to her senses, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved into a wide smile, making her expression look somewhat distorted.

She and her older sister talked a lot about Iris and Chick, but they couldn't come up with anything.

Needless to say, Lin-chan's position dictates that she cannot get involved in this matter.

As for Yuzu, she had absolutely no experience with such a heavy topic. If it were a young girl heartbroken in love, she'd guarantee she'd be back healthy and lively in less than three days. But this was someone like Tobi-Hina...

She hadn't experienced it herself, so she couldn't empathize and naturally didn't know how to solve it. She could only try her best to give Yuan Chu some warmth so that she wouldn't be too lonely in the vast city of Ye Hai.

Now that I see her coming out, I don't know why, but I'm naturally very happy.

No one could have imagined from Yuzu's perspective that the reason Tobi-Hina overcame her inner conflict was because of her. In fact, anyone who would think that way is somewhat self-centered.

Yuzu isn't that kind of person, so she missed the truth.

But isn't that perhaps a good thing?

. . . . . .

After drinking and eating, there was no more group activity. Everyone was sleepy after not sleeping well last night and having drunk alcohol and filled their stomachs. Most of them chose to go back to their rooms to catch up on sleep, including Xu Lin and the others.

But one person did not return to their room.

Frost and snow.

The boy with a cute, boyish face and messy, tousled hair walked out of the room alone, wanting to see the waterfall that his seniors had mentioned.

He is someone who enjoys taking walks, especially since the environment here is so beautiful. Naturally, he would think of going out for a stroll after dinner to see the waterfall and the surrounding scenery, and to calm his mind.

This doesn't quite match his personality, which is prone to making trouble and causing a scene.

He walked step by step, never expecting that there were others here who shared his thoughts.

Frost and Snow have a slight nearsightedness, not high, probably only around 100 degrees, but at this distance she still can't tell who the person sitting by the pond soaking their feet is. She can only barely make out that it's a girl, and her clothes look familiar, so she should be Liver from the same company.

He continued walking forward, still interested.

But they discovered that the girl sitting by the pool was Xueyue.

'It's Senior Xueyue...'

Frost and Snow thought to themselves with some hesitation.

He is actually quite familiar with Xueyue, after all, the two have very similar development paths in VUP, both of them were handpicked to develop in the direction of collaboration host, and Xueyue is the senior who is in charge of guiding him.

But perhaps that's why their interactions are less relaxed like those between colleagues and more serious like those between a teacher and student. So, to say they have a particularly good relationship is an understatement. In Shuangxue's opinion, she might not feel as relaxed with Xueyue as she does with her senior, Xu Lin.

But he still walked up and sat down next to Xueyue, greeting her with a gentle smile.

"What a coincidence, senior, you're here too."

P.S.: Now that we've resolved the issues between Tobi and Yuzu, we can let these two girls develop freely. Now I'll write a little bit about the only planned male-female couple's scenes.

If you can't accept this, please let me know!

I will decide the direction of the two people based on everyone's reactions.
