The Hikigaya couple's youthful love story is definitely not a problem.

From an outsider's perspective, Haruno and Yukino seem to be perfect. Even if one wanted to nitpick and deliberately find some flaws, it would be a difficult task.

But for these two sisters, each other's flaws were like flies landing on a bald man's head—so glaringly obvious they were almost blinding.

It is precisely because they are very clear that the other person is not perfect, but has all sorts of physiological and even psychological differences.

They have a thorough understanding of the defects in the product and have become intimately familiar with them.

That's why the Yukino and Haruno sisters can be completely relaxed when they interact with each other in their daily lives.

I trust my sister's cooking skills, but does she have that much time to cook just for me? She smiled at Yukino, even though the heir of the Yukino family has now clearly changed from Yukino to her son, Yuuya is still young and it will take time for him to reach a usable level.

For now, Haruno still needs to play a reserve role in case something unexpected happens to the two current managers of the Yukinoshita family. Yukinoshita Yuya is not yet ready to become a full-fledged member. At that time, Haruno will have to transform into the mainstay of the Yukinoshita family and continue to ensure that this powerful family in Kanba City can maintain its status.

So I'll have to wait for Yumi to grow up quickly, until she's in her twenties, then I'll probably have plenty of time to do the things I've always wanted to do.

I recalled the goals I set when I was over 20, such as going skydiving, traveling on foot across the vast land for a whole year, or eventually climbing Mount Everest. These goals set in my youthful arrogance have only been temporarily put aside, and I will wait for the opportunity to come.

Ambition will then flourish once again.

Sister, you seem to have been holding back a bit. Although Yuuya does look a lot like Hachiman, and I feel a little uncomfortable every time I see him, he is, after all, my son.

When did you start to have the misconception that your mother would stop loving her son and instead care for your older sister?

Yukino, with chopsticks in her mouth, tilted her head and stared at her older sister with an adorable expression of confusion.

Yukino seemed to be asking Haruno with her expression why she had such an immature idea.

Sigh, you see, by the time Xi Mi is in her twenties, I'll be almost fifty, right? A man over fifty is supposed to know his destiny, but after we're over fifty, we're not even old enough to be considered tofu dregs anymore.

Seeing that it seems that the time for her to become a "pink skeleton" is not too far away, it is natural to feel some strange fluctuations in her heart and then have the idea of ​​retiring.

Moreover, as people get older, their energy is certainly not as good as that of young people. If something goes wrong, it could lead to utter ruin.

Yukino, do you really want all the hard work of the Yukino family over generations to vanish completely in my hands? She spoke with reason and evidence, but no matter what, Yukino couldn't hide the fact that she wanted to steal a kiss.

Unfortunately, in the past, Yukino might have mocked her a few times before agreeing, but now what Yukino cares about is definitely not something that might happen twenty years from now.

For Yukino now, the most important thing is to get through these past few years of poor health, restore her body to a normal level, and then prepare for brain tumor removal surgery.

With her mind in utter chaos but still retaining a sliver of clarity, Yukino calmly said: "If I live to see that day, then naturally I'll do whatever you say, sister. But if I don't make it, then you'll probably have to discuss it with Yumi yourself."

Yang's face instantly changed.

Her expression changed. Originally, she just wanted to talk to Yukino and chat to relieve her inner turmoil.

However, Yukino's two sentences not only failed to dispel Haruno's frustration, but actually made Haruno even more agitated by the facts Yukino recounted.

Sighing silently to herself, Yukino knew that Yukino's words this time were not intentional; she had only said it casually.

However, the subsequent development and growth were barely recorded before they were forgotten.

Let's not talk about these things.

Waving casually, Yang Nai didn't really care about these things anymore; she just had something she wanted to say but didn't know whether she should.

Yukino, have you ever thought about how Hachiman will treat you, the one who abandoned him before? As far as I know, in the past few years, Hachiman seems to have completely forgotten about your existence, just doing what he should do with the people around him every day, living a very mundane life.

Why didn't I think about it? But am I really going to give up on Japan just because of these things? It may seem selfish, but I also have my own dilemmas.

Every time Yumi or Shin-tori asks me who their father is, I can only vaguely change the subject and can't give a direct answer at all, which is something I can't accept no matter what.

Yukino shifted her gaze from Haruno to the window, looking at the bright weather outside.

Clear skies are considered the best weather in England. Whenever such a scene occurs, young couples or elderly couples who have spent many years together are always happy about the rarity of such weather. However, Yukino is not happy at all today.

After all, if a person has too many worries, it will always have a negative impact.

Sister, you don't need to compare with me anymore. Anyway, I will definitely go to see Hachiman, and I won't care even if something unfriendly happens.

After all, no matter what, even if what I suffered in the past comes back to haunt me today, I can't say anything. In any case, it's the bitter fruit of my own actions.

Yukino remained calm as she looked at her sister. Thanks to Haruno's actions, she had a general understanding of Hachiman's experiences over the past few years, if not complete. Combined with her existing knowledge of Hachiman, she could make a fairly accurate deduction.

But I just felt it was unnecessary.

Haruno still wanted to make one last effort to dissuade Yukino from seeing Hachiman so easily, as it could not only disturb other people's lives but also affect her own mood.

But I feel it's necessary.

Yukino answered Haruno with unwavering resolve, her face stubborn and defiant.

I want my children to know who their father is, so that if I were to accidentally pass away in the future, they wouldn't suddenly become orphans.

Staring intently at Yukino, Yukino spoke each word with unwavering resolve: since she might die at any moment, she should not leave any regrets.

Chapter 67

At Narita Airport in Tokyo, Yukino, who had just disembarked from the plane, scanned her surroundings with a complicated expression.

Although the land that nurtured her was a short drive away, Yukino repeatedly visited this place, which was actually the political center of Japan, for various reasons throughout her life of more than a decade or so.

The most important reason is that when Yukino saw this familiar place and smelled the comforting air, a sense of peace arose in her heart. Although this place is not like the dried leaves, which have carried her every drop of wine for more than ten years, with her hometown within reach, how could Yukino, who has been away from Japan for several years, maintain her inner peace?

Dried leaves.

She murmured softly until she actually arrived, only then realizing that things weren't as simple as she had imagined.

First of all, Yukino returned to Miyake because she wanted to reunite with Hachiman and clear up the misunderstanding between them.

But how to meet with Hachiman, and how to explain the thoughts and actions of the protagonist to Hijiri, is the real headache.

Although Ganye City looks very big, if you live here for a long time, all sorts of people will seem to appear in droves for some mysterious reason.

I have a bit of a headache.

With a slight frown, Yukino was genuinely annoyed by the various interpersonal relationships that plagued modern society.

However, since she had already enjoyed all the benefits brought by modern society, Yukino could only silently endure it.

What are you doing there?

Some time limits were set to urge the younger sister, who had fallen far behind, to catch up.

coming.

Rolling her eyes, Yukino felt that ever since her older sister had been spending time with these two children, even her IQ had dropped to that of a young child.

Yuu sighed angrily, and Yukino quickly took the three people in front of her.

They walked out of the airport together, boarded the Shinkansen on foot, and soon arrived at Kiba Station. After waiting for a while on the street, Yukino quickly hailed a taxi.

They stuffed all the bags into the trunk. The three people sitting in the back, chatting and laughing, contrasted sharply with Yukino, who was all alone in the front. The sorrow on Yukino's beautiful face was like ink on white paper, impossible to ignore. They drove along the road leading to the public place where they had lived during their high school years.

As the familiar scene slowly appeared before her eyes, Yukino couldn't help but recall the happiest time of her life.

Back then, having people to talk to and share her innermost thoughts with made Xue Le 3 happier than ever before.

But after the initial joy, Yukino, who had never experienced anything like this before and didn't know how to maintain the relationship, naturally suffered the most severe blow.

Fortunately, Yukino is a strong-willed woman. No matter how much sorrow she felt, she managed to adjust her mindset well, preventing herself from developing serious mental illnesses like depression at such a young age.

I haven't touched any of your things. At most, there's been some extra trash because I've lived here for a while, or I've rearranged some items according to different personal habits, but I haven't touched the overall environment at all.

Sitting in the middle of the back row, Yang Qi seemed completely oblivious to the fact that her hair was being pulled by the mischievous little boy, and suddenly spoke up.

Sitting blankly in his seat, Xue Wan finally responded after a long while in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Actually, I don't care about those things anymore. The most important thing is the person, not those items that still hold a faint trace of that person's past. So, shall we go back and pack up, throw those things away, and buy a new batch?"

Speaking very carefully, Haruno was using this method to subtly probe Yukino's heart, no.

As soon as Hinano finished speaking, Yukino rejected Hinano's suggestion with a resolute air.

Although Yukino said she wouldn't turn those items that held memories into the most precious things now, she couldn't just throw them away carelessly either.

Regardless, they are precious memories for Yukino, rare and invaluable treasures in her life, which can give her strength during the most difficult times. Noticing that the taxi driver next to her was surprised by her suddenly high-pitched voice, Yukino couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Yukino deliberately turned her face away, not wanting outsiders to see the strange blush on her face. She was eager to change the subject.

How is your stay at my place, sister?

Blinking, Yang was a little confused when she heard the seemingly nonsensical question. However, she quickly realized that her sister was trying to change the subject and shift her attention to the upcoming casual conversation.

As someone who always cherishes her younger sister, although she really wanted to see the unusual sadness on Yukino's face, in Haruno's opinion, whether it was a shy Yukino, a troubled Yukino, or even an angry Yukino, she could only let Yukino come to Kindou alone.

Therefore, Yang 73 was only slightly stunned and pretended to be playing with the two juniors and did not hear what Yukino was saying. He asked, "What did you just say?" He said, "How is your stay at my place, sister?"

She calmly recounted the events, and Yukino, with her excellent mental fortitude, only experienced the initial period of difficulty before quickly adjusting her mood.

It was great at first, but it wasn't so good later on.

Busy with wits and courage with the two little ones, Yang Wan could only speak very vaguely to Yukino, after all, she had to focus her attention on Yukino's precious son. Otherwise, Yang Wan always felt that her son was going to be torn to shreds by this little guy.

Huh? Why? Yukino was puzzled. Logically speaking, Haruno should have been living with Shuri at the beginning.

After a while, I got used to it.

But her response was exactly the opposite, which Yukino couldn't quite understand.

Wait.

Yang 3 Jing didn't explain first, but instead used both hands to press the naughty child onto his lap and lightly slapped his buttocks a few times.

Throughout this process, Xintong stared at her brother with a cold gaze until he was subdued by his aunt, at which point she sighed like an adult.

It seemed as if he was lamenting why he had such an older brother.

However, when this expression appears on a three- or four-year-old girl with chubby cheeks, it only makes her seem adorable.

Yang Qi let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that even after working at the company all day, he still couldn't solve the problem of this naughty child.

Having regained some strength, Yang Nai slowly said: "At the beginning, there were traces of Yukino living everywhere in the house."

Especially in bed, that delicate fragrance really makes it easy to fall asleep.

Unfortunately, a few days later, the scent that Yukino left on the bed was replaced by my own body odor.

She spoke with great regret, but what Yang 73 said was also true. Ever since she could no longer smell the fragrance left by Yukino, her sleep quality had slightly declined.

Speechless, Yukino 3 rubbed her forehead. Every time she went out with 873, her biggest worry was that Yukino would suddenly blurt out such a painful statement, making others stare at the two beautiful sisters with complicated eyes.

Although 87 did not respond to Yukino with specific words, her short laugh still spoke volumes.

Having exhausted all other options, Yukino simply closed her eyes, hoping to rest as much as possible before getting home.

Although she had just gotten off the plane, Yukino, who was already sensitive at high altitudes, could not fall asleep easily. After all, her acrophobia, which she developed after being pranked by Yang Wan for a long time, did not only flare up on roller coasters.
