Let's do it again, Yukino.

She was carrying her shoes in one hand and holding the pair of black stockings she had just taken off in the other.

Barefoot, she too stepped onto the sand.

The night breeze gently brushed against her delicate toes, tickling her.

She looked up at the stars in the sky.

"Hey, it's forbidden to walk on the beach while gazing at the stars, or you might get swept into the sea by the waves."

"Leave me alone."

"...Xiaoxue, can you tell me why you asked me to bring you here today?"

Haruhi was hesitant about whether or not to tell Yukino about the email, but he was more concerned about why Yukino had come here than about his own problems.

She turned her exquisite face, and a faint fragrance wafted to the tip of spring's nose.

"You've forgotten? What day is it today?"

Although it was a question, there was no trace of unhappiness on the girl's cheerful face.

"What day is it? Xiaoxue, do you have your period? No, wait, I remember your period is usually around the end of the month, and today is only the beginning of June."

boom!

boom!

Two sand-filled women's leather shoes, accompanied by a whistling sound, were thrown at the boy, one after the other.

Springtime quickly and steadily took it, and subconsciously cleaned out all the sand inside.

"Didn't you always pride yourself on not being as oblivious to emotions as Hachiman? I'm giving you one last chance to think carefully about today."

A sweet voice came from inside.

Looking at Xiaoxue, who had her hands behind her back, and at her own serious and solemn expression.

Chunri stopped joking and lowered her head to think.

A quiet summer seascape, with time and warm winds flowing slowly by.

Wedding anniversary,

No, Xiaoxue and I aren't married yet...

Is it Xiaoxue's birthday?

That's not right either; you could tell her birthdate was January 3rd even with your eyes closed.

So……

……

a long time,

"Wooden-headed guy, have you figured it out yet?"

Watching the boy suddenly squat down on the beach, seemingly resigned to his fate,

Yukino slowly approached him and noticed that he seemed to be muttering something.

"Eh?"

The girl asked gently.

"Oh, it's nothing."

Springtime still kept her head down, shaking her head as she spoke:

"It's really nothing..."

The boy seemed a little embarrassed, but he already knew why Xiaoxue had invited him here.

He took Xiaoxue's hand, and she sat down next to him.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten."

He mumbled something in a low voice, his voice sounding so faint on the empty beach where the waves crashed.

Five years ago today,

Of course, he was referring to five years ago in his previous life.

He once gave Xiaoxue a gift that wasn't particularly valuable.

The gift was originally meant to be worn on the middle finger of Xiaoxue's right hand.

However, Chunri really didn't expect that Xiaoxue would remember the date of such an event so clearly.

"For me, it's more than just a simple memento. Everything you said that day, and that day itself, I may never forget."

Sure enough, just as he had expected, Xiaoxue looked down at her delicate, pale fingers, which were completely bare, and said with a mix of emotion and knowing meaning.

"However, none of these ten fingers are wearing them right now."

"Xiaoxue, are you planning to snap your fingers and make me disappear? Besides, I really don't have the money to buy that thing right now. I'll consider giving you another one when I have the money later."

He lay on the wide beach, gazing at the starry sky, and complained irritably about Yuki-onna.

……

The girl beside me was, in some ways, naively optimistic to an extreme.

Chunri took a deep breath and turned over.

"Um, Xiaoxue, can we talk about your mother?"

The boy's voice reached the girl's ears.

Past lives and present lives

This was also the first time he had seriously brought up the matter of Xiaoxue's mother.

(P.S.: Please vote for me! lol.)

Chapter 105 Snow Underneath Your Mother!

Mother Under the Snow

It gives people a first impression.

In terms of appearance, she bears a striking resemblance to Yukino Yukinoshita in terms of facial features and temperament. However, in terms of her way of dealing with people, she is more like her eldest daughter, Haruno Yukinoshita.

In her previous life, thanks to the careful arrangements made by Yuki and Hayama, Haruhi had met Yuki's mother once during a holiday shortly after entering university.

However, the meeting ended somewhat unhappily.

Even though Haruhi had already shown his best side to his future mother-in-law on that day,

But then...

That woman exuded the confidence, aloofness, and elegance of someone from a prominent family who never argued with others, along with absolute dominance and possessiveness.

Even though Haruhi was straightforward to begin with, he still couldn't get along with a woman like that.

He could tolerate that woman choosing to ignore him and interact with Hayama, Yukino, and even Yui on their first meeting.

He could also tolerate himself acting like a silly husky, constantly smiling and saying sweet words to that woman at the banquet.

But what he couldn't tolerate was that the old woman had given him a 10,000 yuan bill as a tip for the drinks before she left.

From beginning to end, Yukinoshita's mother only treated him as a waiter at the restaurant.

She clearly knew from the beginning that she was Xiaoxue's lover.

This is absolutely outrageous!

……

…………

"Talk about my mother?"

Lying side by side with Haruhi on the beach, Yukino listened to the sound of the waves lapping against the shore. She was surprised when Haruhi suddenly started talking about her mother.

In his previous life, Chunri almost never talked to her about their parents.

Occasionally, when she was bored at night, she would use the story of her older sister, Yang Nai, as a topic of conversation before going to bed.

"I remember that Mother had a pretty good first impression of you."

Xiaoxue seemed confused as to why Chunri would bring up the topic of her mother.

"Which eye of yours could have seen that your mother had a good impression of me?"

Springtime made a sarcastic remark.

Cold stubbornness and domineering attitude

Especially the phone call with Yukinoshita's mother before Kasuga's car accident.

That woman was so indifferent that she disregarded the life of her future grandson and asked Xiaoxue to persuade her to abort the child in her womb.

Chunri had thought more than once that it would have been her wicked mother-in-law who had been reborn with her in that car accident.

……

Although Yukino knew that her mother originally wanted to control her life.

Even her love life and marriage were entirely controlled by her mother.

However, Yukino subconsciously interpreted her mother's eventual tacit approval of her cohabitation with Kasuga University as a compromise from her mother.

"Do you know, Xiaoxue?"

Lying on the beach, Chunri gazed at the beautiful bright moon, held Xiaoxue's delicate body in his arms, and chuckled softly.

"Originally, your mother had identified Hayato as the second son-in-law of the Yukinoshita family."

"If it weren't for me, Hayato, Hachiman, and even your devilish older sister finding a way to cover it up, you probably would have been sent abroad by your mother to live a completely different life."

Springtime brings a touch of melancholy.

Sometimes, Yukino is too naive about people's true nature.
