A newbie's anime life diary

However, a girl's modesty wouldn't allow her to do that. When it comes to dating, it's better to take it one step at a time and not act as if she's offering herself up.

Although she didn't know much about romance, Yukino had at least seen some things about it on the internet and on TV.

Yukiteru wasn't surprised by the girl's answer. After all, he was just joking. It was impossible for Yukino to come and live with him now.

Sure enough, when the two arrived at the school gate, they saw Yukinoshita's car parked there, with two female bodyguards standing beside it.

Upon seeing Yukino, the two bodyguards walked straight over.

"Miss, your new place has been prepared and your luggage has been moved in. Please get in the car."

Yukino didn't intend to make things difficult for the two bodyguards. She nodded and said to Yukiteru beside her, "Then I'll be going now. See you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Watching Yukino get into the car, Yukiteru turned to the bodyguard still standing in front of him and asked, "What, is there something else you want to say to me?"

“Hiratsuka Yukiteru-kun, Madam said that you should not have too much contact with Miss, otherwise we will take appropriate measures.”

"Oh, really?" Seeing Yukino looking at him through the car window, Yukiteru smiled at her, then looked at the bodyguard. "I don't really care about your so-called methods. Also, you should be glad you didn't install surveillance equipment in Yukino's apartment, otherwise, even if you are female bodyguards, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to resist taking action."

After saying that, he gave the bodyguard a deep look, then turned and left, leaving the bodyguard bewildered as he watched Xuehui's figure slowly walk away.

Chapter 79 Jing Ke'ai can cook now?

Yukino was accompanied by several bodyguards, so Yukiteru wasn't worried. As for her new home, he could go there anytime he wanted without being discovered. The focus now was preparing for his meeting with Yukino's mother later.

Upon returning home and opening the front door, Xuehui saw a pair of women's high heels placed in the entryway, indicating that Hiratsuka Shizuka had arrived.

But when Yukiteru thought about what happened between him and Yukino at noon, he realized that he might have been a little too smug.

Upon entering the living room, I didn't find Hiratsuka Shizuka. Instead, I saw a beautiful figure in the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife, making rhythmic chopping sounds.

Hearing footsteps, Hiratsuka Shizuka stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Yukiteru: "Oh, you're back."

"Yeah, finally I can rest for two days." After putting down his schoolbag, Xuehui poured himself a glass of water and drank it. He looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka and said, "Shizuka-neechan, I heard there's a teachers' dinner party at school today. Aren't you going?"

"A dinner party?" Hiratsuka Shizuka rolled her eyes and said with a sneer, "It's called a dinner party, but it's really just a social gathering. And most of them are teachers in their 30s. There are only a handful of female teachers in the whole grade. What, do you still want me to go?"

"Well, I didn't know that, did I?" Yukiteru liked Hiratsuka Shizuka's current reaction. Although she hadn't accepted his confession back then, saying she would wait until graduation, her actions showed that she had already half-accepted him, and she hadn't gone to any social events.

Entering the kitchen, Xuehui smiled at Hiratsuka Shizuka and said, "I didn't expect you to cook today, Shizuka-nee. It's curry again... oh?"

Cabbage, tomatoes, ribs, chicken wings, but no potatoes, onions, carrots, or curry cubes—it doesn't look like curry at all.

"Shizuka-nee, are you going to do something else?" Xuehui looked up in surprise at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was wearing an apron.

Seemingly dissatisfied with Yukiteru's tone, Hiratsuka Shizuka snorted, patted the kitchen counter, and said, "What? Can't I learn? I'm not the same person I used to be. Today, I'll show you the results of my training!"

Looking at the confident Hiratsuka Shizuka, Yukiteru felt that she had really improved. He was also happy to relax and leaned to the side with his arms crossed, saying, "Alright, please begin your performance."

"Hmph, I'll show you what I'm made of today." With that, Hiratsuka Shizuka picked up the cooked ribs and poured them into a large bowl for later use, then took out a bunch of seasonings.

Heat the oil in a pan, add ginger slices, then add the ribs—each step is done in a very professional manner.

But then Hiratsuka Shizuka hesitated, finding it difficult to pick up the soy sauce bottle.

"How much is this? One spoonful, two spoonfuls, or three spoonfuls?" Looking at the ribs in the pot and the soy sauce bottle in her hand, Hiratsuka Shizuka muttered to herself, seemingly a little nervous because Yukiteru was watching.

Xuehui smiled as he watched this scene, but he figured the ribs would burn if it dragged on any longer. He immediately stepped forward, took the soy sauce from Hiratsuka Shizuka, poured out two spoonfuls, then picked up Shaoxing wine, which is rarely used in Japanese cuisine, poured out a spoonful, added sugar, star anise, and cinnamon one by one, stir-fried it a few times, poured in boiling water, and then covered the pot.

"It's already in the pot, so you don't have much time to think about the recipe."

"Hmph, I'm just a little unaccustomed to cooking in a different kitchen all of a sudden." Hiratsuka Shizuka's cheeks were slightly red as she tried to cover it up with an excuse.

Xuehui didn't expose her, and nodded: "Yes, yes, I already know that your cooking skills have improved a lot, Sister Jing. Let me help you. I'll do the chopping and stuff, and you can cook it."

After checking the time, Hiratsuka Shizuka did not refuse and began to work together with Yukiteru.

It seems that Hiratsuka Shizuka has indeed been practicing her cooking skills for a while. Although she is not particularly proficient yet, she has at least memorized the recipes and has a pretty good grasp of the heat.

The final product wasn't as unpalatable as a beginner's dish; it was already up to standard as a home-style meal.

Xuehui was quite satisfied with the meal, at least. It was Hiratsuka Shizuka who cooked it; how many people have the chance to eat such food? He didn't nitpick; the taste was indeed quite good, and he could improve gradually.

After finishing her meal, she cleaned the dishes neatly and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"Well, I told you, and you'll be very surprised!" Hiratsuka Shizuka said, crossing her legs and looking at Yukiteru with a smug expression.

Smiling and nodding, Xuehui would never speak ironically at this moment: "Your progress is absolutely rapid. Thank you for your hard work today, Sister Jing."

"Hmph~" Hiratsuka Shizuka was very satisfied with Yukiteru's answer. She slowly sipped her tea and looked at Yukiteru, saying, "How are the preparations for the cultural festival going?"

"Everything is going smoothly, proceeding step by step, and the progress is a little faster than planned, giving us enough time to make adjustments."

"It seems you and Yukinoshita are working well together. You went straight to the executive committee's meeting room that day, which really startled me."

"I didn't want things to turn out this way either, but Yukinoshita Haruno is the one causing trouble." Yukiteru shrugged, indicating that he wouldn't take the blame.

Hiratsuka Shizuka knew very well what Yukinoshita Haruno was like, and nodded in understanding.

Looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka in front of him, Yukiteru thought for a moment and decided not to hide it from her: "Um, Shizuka-nee."

"What's wrong?" Looking at Yukiteru, Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed that the other person seemed to have something to say.

“...Ahhh, never mind, I’ll just tell you anyway.” He scratched his head, thinking that since he had already done it, what was there to be afraid of? So he recounted everything that had happened from the day Yukino stayed overnight until today.

The whole process took less than ten minutes. After Xuehui finished speaking, he looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was silent, and the atmosphere was unusually strange.

Seemingly having sorted through Yukiteru's words, Hiratsuka Shizuka raised an eyebrow and looked at Yukiteru: "So, you and Yukinoshita are now..."

"Yes, we're already dating." Xuehui nodded frankly. He had personally said something shameless like wanting to build a harem back then, so what was the point of being afraid?

Looking straight at Yuki, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly sat down next to Yuki, hooked her arm around his neck, and said, "Not bad, you got it so quickly."

"Um... Shizuka-nee, aren't you angry?" Yukiteru was a little confused by Hiratsuka Shizuka's reaction. Shouldn't she be angry?

"Why are you angry? We're not dating now, are we? At most, it's just that I feel like I'm also your target, so it's a little strange." Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled at Yukiteru.

Xuehui paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Sister Jing, I told you, I won't let you get away with this."

"I've already said I won't accept you until you graduate high school. And do you have a way of handling the relationship between me and Yukinoshita? Be careful, things might go wrong."

Listening to Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, Yukiteru understood that getting Yukino to accept such an unconventional relationship was harder than climbing to heaven.

"Like I said, I won't give up. Even if Yukino chases me with a knife, I won't let go." As if setting a flag for himself, Yukiteru lay down, resting his head on Hiratsuka Shizuka's firm thigh, and held her hand, saying, "So Shizuka-nee, don't listen to your family and go on any blind dates. I'm afraid I'll go berserk."

"How can you be so shameless?" Although she said that, Hiratsuka Shizuka was quite pleased with Yukiteru's assertive words, and gently tapped Yukiteru's forehead with her free hand.

Although it seemed somewhat illogical, Hiratsuka Shizuka had long harbored such special feelings only for Yukiteru, a boy much younger than herself.

Even with this kind of future, I don't want to give up so easily.

PS2: Don't rush the Yukinoshita family storyline, it'll be here soon. We'll talk about other storylines this weekend.

For example, there's Sadao Maou, who secretly ran away to Japan. I haven't talked about him yet. We can't just keep giving out sweet moments all the time, right?

Chapter 80: Kidnapping Someone Else's Daughter into Your Own Hands

Although Hiratsuka Shizuka hopes that Yukiteru can truly resolve the relationship between the three of them, she cannot indulge Yukiteru for now.

After offering her a lap pillow for a while, Hiratsuka Shizuka simply pulled Yukiteru aside and prepared to go back.

"Sister Shizuka, why don't you sleep here tonight?" Looking at Shizuka, Yukiteru felt that it was too much trouble for her to keep going back and forth like this, since there were plenty of clean clothes for her to change into here.

"Don't you have anything to do tomorrow?"

"Um... I need to go to the library to talk to Sister Yuanzi about some things. Although we've talked on the phone, it's been two months since I've been there. It would be good to talk in person. I also need to meet with the elders from those companies, since they've helped me a lot."

Yukiteru told Hiratsuka Shizuka everything about what he would do next. There was nothing Yukiteru needed to hide from her.

"Since you're so busy, I shouldn't bother you any longer. Go ahead and do your thing. I'll stay home tomorrow. If you come back early tonight, come over and cook for me." Hiratsuka Shizuka said, putting on her shoes while giving orders without any politeness.

"Yes, I understand." Yukiteru nodded with a wry smile, fully aware that Hiratsuka Shizuka was looking for an opportunity to instruct him. But how could he refuse his sister's and soon-to-be girlfriend's request?

"Hmm, good boy, here's a reward for you." Nodding in satisfaction, he kissed Xuehui on the forehead, then smiled and pushed open the door to leave, leaving the boy with a disgruntled expression.

It has to be said that Jing's methods of teasing Xuehui are becoming more and more skillful.

Saturday morning.

As the owner of Yukino's company, which mainly deals in real estate, finding Yukino a new place to live would be an easy task.

The upscale apartment Yukino currently lives in is in the exact opposite direction from her original residence, on the other side of Soubu High School, and the distance from the school is about the same as before.

After checking in last night, Yukino didn't ask the bodyguard to help her unpack. After dinner, she put the clothes from her suitcase into the closet and left them there for the time being.

I chatted on the phone with Xuehuibao for a while that evening, feeling a bit curious, before falling asleep contentedly.

After getting up early in the morning, Yukino washed up in her pajamas, made herself a simple breakfast, and then went to the bedroom to change her clothes. She was preparing to organize her two boxes of things, which mostly contained books she had bought, as well as many cats and Mr. Pan's dolls that she had collected.

"Ding dong~!"

Someone is coming.

"Could it be Yukiteru? But he didn't call me."

With a hint of doubt, Yukino walked to the entrance and looked out through the peephole, a look of surprise on her face.

I quickly opened the door, and a woman in a kimono appeared before me.

Yukiteru's teacher, Ryougi Shiki.

"Sorry for showing up uninvited." Ryougi Shiki looked at Yukino, who was dressed in casual clothes and had no makeup on, yet was still incredibly beautiful, and silently nodded in her heart.

"No, that's not true." Yukino immediately shook her head, then cautiously looked into the stairwell.

Seeing the girl looking behind her, Ryougi Shiki said, "Yukiteru didn't come over. As for your family's bodyguards, no one can find me if I don't want to."

Coming to her senses, Yukino realized that it was very impolite to stop Ryougi Shiki at the door, so she immediately welcomed her in.

Ryougi Shiki was led to sit on the sofa in the living room, and Yukino immediately ran to make tea and serve it to her.

Holding the tray, Yukino looked at Ryougi Shiki with some hesitation: "Um..."

Ryougi Shiki noticed Yukino's doubts and said, "Just call me Auntie."
