A newbie's anime life diary

"Let's get things done first, and talk about it later."

Since that's what they've said, Xuehui had no choice but to get to work. Putting aside other thoughts, he threw himself wholeheartedly into his task.

The preparations were nearing completion. After sitting in the meeting room for a while and then going outside to check things out, today's work was finished.

They returned to the meeting room, picked up their bags, and left together.

The other executive committee members, watching this scene, were curious whether the two were dating, but their interactions in public were so unassuming that they couldn't discern anything amiss. Without conclusive evidence, there was nothing they could do for the time being.

As they walked towards the school gate, Yukito said to Yukino beside him, "What, aren't you going to ask me what my senior told me earlier?"

"You wouldn't hide it from me, would you?" Yukino answered Yukiteru with a confident statement.

"Well, I don't know if it's a good thing that you know me so well. But if I say that, are you hiding something from me?" Xuehui asked with a smile.

"Hidden? Yes, I'm hiding something quite important from you right now."

"Huh? There really is. I thought Yukino-chan, whom I like so much, wouldn't keep things from me." She said this, but there wasn't a hint of anger in her voice. Yukiteru knew that couples needed to give each other some personal space. Yukino hadn't asked about what Utaha-senpai had told her before, because she knew she would tell her.

If Yukino is hiding something from me, she must have her own reasons, and I don't need to ask her. I'll find out when the time is right.

Turning her head, Yukino saw the smile on Yukiteru's face and also gave a knowing smile.

It feels really good to be trusted like this.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you in the next few days. I just hope you won't be angry then."

"Are you angry? If I'm really angry, I can tell you a way to appease me." With a mischievous grin, Yukiteru moved closer to Yukino. "How about it, want to know?"

"No, it's definitely some bad idea." Yukino knew exactly what Yukiteru was thinking. He wanted her to sacrifice some of her looks to achieve some ulterior motives. This kind of evil behavior should never be encouraged!

He pursed his lips, thinking that having a smart girlfriend can sometimes be quite frustrating.

"Okay, let's talk about what happened before first."

Then, Yukiteru told Yukino about his conversation with Kasumigaoka Utaha. Although they had already left the school gates during the conversation, Yukiteru still walked in the same direction as Yukino to accompany her to the station.

After hearing Yukiteru's words, Yukino looked at him with a strange gaze: "Should I praise you? Other people's parents have invited you to their homes."

"What, are you jealous?" As he spoke, Yukiteru took Yukino's small hand in his own, and after feeling the brief tension and stiffness in the girl's hand, he smiled. "If you don't agree, I'll just make up an excuse to refuse."

This isn't just a casual remark. If Yukino really doesn't want to go, then Yukiteru will go to Kasumigaoka Utaha and decline the invitation to be her guest.

While Utaha-senpai's invitation was nice, he didn't want Yukino to be angry.

"I'm not being unreasonable." After glaring at Yukiteru, Yukino glanced at the pedestrians on the street, then blushed and took his hand, shaking hands with Yukiteru. She said, "Didn't you say it was just a thank-you invitation? I also know that you gave Kasumigaoka-senpai some ideas for her novel, helping it to increase its popularity. Such a request is reasonable, and I can't possibly restrict your social interactions, after all, I'm just your girlfriend."

"I'm really happy that you said that. But, are you not satisfied with just being a girlfriend? I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry, Yukino."

Yukiteru also understood the hidden meaning in Yukino's words. He didn't expect Yukino to have thought so far ahead.

"Don't take my words too seriously! I was just giving a normal explanation! And how could things have developed so quickly? We've only been dating for a few days."

Hmm, I'm blushing again.

Xuehui didn't expose him, and nodded in response, "I understand, I won't say anything more. Since you've agreed, I'll set a time to be a guest, and I'll leave in a little while."

"It's an invitation from an elder, so we should still be polite." Nodding, Yukino tightened her grip on Yukiteru's hand and said, "But I have to say this beforehand: be careful not to overthink things. Otherwise, I've seen some online forums where it seems like in China, girls often make their husbands or boyfriends kneel on washboards, remote controls, or even computer motherboards. I'd really like to see you try that."

"Hey, hey, hey, Yukino, you've gone dark!" I haven't even done anything yet, how come there's already a punishment coming out?

And Yukino-chan, how did you come up with the idea of ​​going to those forums? What have you been learning lately?!

Yukino Yukinoshita, a Yamato woman born into a capitalist family, unknowingly begins to adopt the mindset of Chinese women, even though she is the future head of the household!

It seems I really need to be more careful about my words and actions from now on. I also need to properly teach Yukino how to be a good girlfriend. Stop thinking about interrogating and punishing yourself; giving her more treats is the key to winning her heart!

"Hmph, anyway, I've already said what I meant."

Yukino turned her head away and stopped talking. Although she had spoken very strongly, she was actually a little scared and uneasy inside. One reason was that she was afraid that Yukiteru would be unhappy after she said that. Although Yukiteru was usually very considerate and caring towards her, he was still a boy and had his pride.

Another concern was that Yukiteru might actually be attracted to Kasumigaoka Utaha. Although she had been mentally prepared after several conversations with Ryougi Shiki, as a girl, the thought of what she might face in the future still made her feel uneasy.

Feeling the slight sweat on Yukino's hand in his palm, Yukiteru felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Hearing the footsteps, he pulled Yukino to the same spot as him.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Yukino didn't show any displeasure, but just looked at Yukiteru with a puzzled expression, and then she was suddenly pulled into his arms.

"Hey, what are you doing? We're on the street!"

"I don't know either, I just feel like doing this will make you a little happier." Looking down at the girl in his arms, Yukiteru said, "Hey, Yukino."

"?"

"I love you."

"Huh? This... um..." Before she could say anything more, Xuehui lowered his head and sealed the girl's mouth.

The few pedestrians on the street weren't surprised to see the young couple kissing so passionately; after all, such things are commonplace these days. An older couple passing by also offered a smile of blessing upon witnessing the scene.

A few minutes later, Yukiteru reluctantly pulled away from Yukino's lips; the girl's breathing was already somewhat rapid.

Seeing Yukino leaning against him, looking somewhat exhausted, her little hands pinching the soft flesh of his waist repeatedly, Yukiteru simply held her quietly, his arms tightening slightly, letting the girl vent her anger on him like this.

It was supposed to be the senior's turn, so how did it turn into this?

Chapter 94 Cultural Festival Opening (3/3)

After that, Yukiteru took Yukino to the station.

I originally wanted to invite her to my house for dinner, but Yukino said she had to go back to prepare her lunchbox for tomorrow, otherwise the supermarket wouldn't have any ingredients left.

Yukino seemed unusually insistent on making a bento for Yukiteru for the first time, so Yukiteru agreed and returned to his apartment alone.

It was almost 7 o'clock when I got home. It took quite a while to get home with Yukino.

Hiratsuka Shizuka had already arrived and was waiting.

"It's so slow! I'm starving!"

Hiratsuka Shizumasa lay sprawled on the sofa, not getting up even after seeing Yukiteru return, and pointed a finger at the kitchen.

The meaning is clear: hurry up and cook.

"Couldn't you help me prepare first?"

"Who knew you'd be so slow! Besides, you were the one who invited me to come over for dinner, so why should I cook?"

"Ha... fine, fine, you're right, I'll go cook, okay?"

As Xuehui walked towards the kitchen, he wondered if he had been too nice to Hiratsuka Shizuka; the woman was getting lazier and lazier.

It took about 40 minutes to finally prepare a meal.

After finishing the meal, she unceremoniously handed over the task of washing the dishes to Hiratsuka Shizuka. Seemingly satisfied with the meal, she didn't mind doing this small task.

Sitting on the sofa, Xuehui turned down the TV volume, took out his phone, and dialed Saeko Busujima's number.

"Good evening, Yukiteru-kun, what's up?" Saeko Busujima's elegant and mature voice came from the other end of the phone, accompanied by sounds of fighting and shouts, such as "Let me go!" and "I want to talk to Yukiteru-nii on the phone!" Because Ryougi Shiki usually warned Ryougi Mana not to bother Yukiteru, the little girl never had a chance to call him. This time, since Yukiteru was calling, she naturally wanted to argue her case.

The nights at Ryougi's house were as peaceful as ever.

"Yes, good evening, Saeko-nee. There is something I need to discuss." Yukiteru paused for a moment before continuing, "I'm getting a little tired of dragging things out about Yukino. Let's get everything settled at the dinner party next Tuesday. I remember some of the people attending are here."

"Yes, there were a few who originally didn't plan to accept the dinner invitation, but after we notified them, they agreed to go. Although it wasn't in our plans, it seems that Diplomat Spencer is going to have quite a few opportunities this time. It's rare to have so many mid- to high-ranking officials attending such a small banquet."

"After all, it's a private banquet, isn't it? Besides, Mr. Spencer has a very good reputation, so it won't have any impact on them." Xuehui smiled. It seems that he will see that loser young lady again on that day. It's been a long time since he's seen her. He wonders if her relationship with Aki Tomoya has improved.

"Also, Saeko-nee, have someone investigate in the next few days which officials the Yukinoshita family has been in contact with recently, and which ones have any intention of forming marriage alliances. I don't think they'll be at too high a level. Have a few of us on this side inform them to temporarily stop contacting the Yukinoshita family."

"What happened? Why did things change so quickly?" Saeko Busujima was somewhat surprised that Yukiteru would suddenly abandon his original step-by-step plan and go straight to the final step.

"I just suddenly didn't want Yukino to wait any longer, although this sudden outburst might scare the two Yukinoshitas."

"Alright, whatever you decide is fine. I'll go and inform them right away." Saeko Busujima had no objections and readily agreed.

"Also, Yukino's older sister seems to be in similar trouble. Let's look into that too and resolve it together."

"..." Saeko Busujima hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone, then asked Yukiteru, "You little rascal, you're not thinking of sleeping with both sisters, are you?"

"How could I think like that! I just thought she was Yukino's older sister, so I helped her out!"

Sisters who can be both lovers? There's no such thing as a simple matter in this world, especially since it's Yukino Yukinoshita! Yukiteru doesn't think his appetite is that big.

Of course, Saeko Busujima's answer was also noncommittal. Who knows what the future holds? After saying she would go and deliver the notification for Yukiteru, she handed the phone to Ryougi Mina, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother Xuehui, Brother Xuehui!" The little girl's energetic voice rang out.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to grab the phone?" Hearing Ryougi Mina's voice, Yukihiro relaxed.

"Let me tell you, Mom and Dad happen to be free on Saturday, so we'll come to your school's cultural festival together!"

"Oh? Uncle Ganye is coming too? That's really a perfect family. Don't worry, I'll definitely show you around. There are a lot of interesting things to see this time." Xuehui was quite looking forward to it; it was a rare sight to see the whole family of three together.

After chatting for a while, Ryougi Mina was called to do her homework and finally hung up the phone.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had already finished her housework the night before, sat down next to Yukiteru.

"What's wrong? Didn't we already have a plan?" Although Xuehui had heard some of the conversation on the phone, he didn't hear the whole thing.

"I just didn't want to drag it out any longer; it's a waste of time. I also have another thing to take care of recently, so I'll just deal with it now."

Yukino's situation is easy to resolve; it's just a matter of how severe the impact will be. In any case, no matter what happens to Yukino's father, he's unlikely to be promoted in the next year, so Yukiteru doesn't care about the consequences.

In comparison, the fraudsters appearing in Chiba are what give him a bigger headache. Even if Kasumigaoka Utaha isn't the one affected this time, it's still something that needs to be handled with caution.

Hiratsuka Shizuka had learned some things about what was happening on the inside from Yukiteru's usual explanations, so this time she didn't keep it from him. She took the document out of her bag and handed it to Hiratsuka Shizuka to take a look.

"I didn't expect that such a guy could exist anywhere." After looking at the materials in her hand and listening to Yukiteru's explanation, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt more and more that apart from the difference in the power system, there was not much difference between the two sides.

"Well, after all, money is something that almost everyone needs, except for those reclusive people who don't care about worldly affairs, and the need is even greater."

Xuehui agreed, saying that maintaining the family, cultivating, and developing power all require enormous financial and material resources. This is why the Liangyi family and some other families on the inner side are involved in various industries and accumulate assets.

Take Saeko Busujima and Yomi Isayama for example. Their talent is one thing, but the resources they spent to obtain such power at the age of less than 20 are countless.

The old saying, "The poor study literature, the rich study martial arts," has some truth to it.

The topic of fraudsters was briefly mentioned and then ended. After all, these kinds of people are very selective about their clients, and not just anyone needs to spend money to find them. Once it was determined who came, everything was easy to follow up on.
