Let's do it again, Yukino.

Spring couldn't wait to board the Snow Mountain. Excited, he nodded to the purple-haired woman, and then the Snow Mountain responded to its master's wishes and sped away like a gust of wind.

A boy like the wind, coming and going as he pleases.

"What a lovely boy."

Under the cover of night,

The woman nodded and smiled with some pleasure.

But is it a sunny spring day?

This name sounds familiar...

Is it just an illusion?

……

……

"You've finally chosen a few books that you're relatively satisfied with, so you should take good care of yourself—hmm? Where are you?"

After the bicycle gradually disappeared on the horizon, the blonde lion girl that Kasuga had mentioned finally appeared at the door.

"Is the guy who was standing outside the door pushing his bicycle a friend you recently met?"

The purple-haired woman remained standing at the doorway, gracefully watching the figure disappear from her sight.

Seemingly to cover her rude smile, the woman continued to cover her lips with her fan while asking the blonde girl a question.

"He's not a friend, just a dim-witted delinquent I met on the street, nothing more! Don't get me wrong!! How could a guy like that be my friend?!"

The little lion awkwardly hummed as he held his past works from previous exhibitions behind his back.

"Not friends, huh? No wonder... Although he seems a bit dim-witted, he's not a bad person. No, I should say, people who like BL novels are definitely not bad people!!!"

The purple-haired woman closed her fan and nodded emphatically.

"However... this is the first time I've met a boy who is so crazy and obsessed with BL books. He's even willing to put aside his dignity and beg an old lady like me for BL books."

"Huh? A BL doujinshi? Are you kidding me? Wasn't it supposed to be my doujinshi?"

Realizing something was amiss, the little lion raised her eyes slightly and looked at the purple-haired woman she called her mother.

"Isn't that right? With his muscular build, he's clearly the dominant type from manga. But I'm still a little curious about how he came to like BL novels. He doesn't seem like the typical otaku virgin he is—"

Midnight,

The purple-haired woman standing at the villa entrance answered her daughter with an innocent expression.

!! ?

Could it be?!

Hearing his mother's account

The not-so-stupid blonde girl seemed to have figured something out. She glanced hesitantly at her mother and asked a question uncertainly.

"Mom, you mean that idiot took your old collection and then happily rode off on his bike?"

"Yeah... Before he left, he said something like he would always remember your kindness and would never forget you as a friend. His tone clearly comes from a hardcore BL fan."

完咯

Snap—

At that moment, the little lion covered his face speechlessly.

It's really over.

I've seen stupid people myself.

But such a stupid guy,

That's really rare...

Chapter Thirty-Two: A Smell of Kimchi

Snow falls with a touch of melancholy.

That's right, Yukino Yukinoshita, who is always regarded as a snow woman in ghost stories, also has a melancholy day.

I haven't seen that guy for almost fifteen days and seven hours.

Although in the past, even when she saw that guy who needed to be taken care of, the girl wouldn't have any major emotional changes, this time it was as if all connections had been severed, causing Yukino Yukinoshita to start feeling a little uncomfortable over the past two days.

It felt like a newlywed couple's honeymoon hadn't lasted long before the bride was sent to work in another city.

However, there was nothing she could do about it. She had just returned from Tokyo with her mother and the others yesterday. For the past two weeks, her daily life had been under her mother's watchful eye, and she was also sharing a room with Haruno, so she had no chance to contact Kasuga.

However, parting is for the joy of meeting again next time.

Remembering this principle, Xiaoxue constantly used this phrase to comfort herself during her time in Tokyo.

It's not like in the past life, where we had to be wary of those vixens all the time. Now we're all high school students, just high school students. We don't have that many tricks up our sleeves. Besides, who could possibly seduce such idiots?

So, Xiaoxue, who had just returned from Tokyo today, secretly went back to her apartment from her family home. Originally intending to give the boy a surprise after a long separation, she received a familiar phone call while cleaning the apartment.

Although the clock had already struck one in the morning, Yukino, still wearing loose loungewear, pressed the answer button without hesitation when the phone number displayed on her screen appeared.

"Auntie, I am Yukino Yukinoshita."

Unlike usual, her voice sounded incredibly gentle and patient.

She could refuse calls from Kasuga Gian, but Yuki simply couldn't ignore calls from Aunt Junko.

Moreover, if we were to say who in this world could make Xiaoxue instantly shed her cold demeanor and treat him with gentleness, besides the boy from Haruhi, it would only be her most respected Aunt Junko.

"Oh no, oh no, Yukino, something terrible has happened!!!"

However, the usually energetic voice of Aunt Junko on the other end of the phone was now filled with endless panic.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to Ah Qing? Tell me slowly, don't panic."

"Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing... he's gone mad... Ah, Xiao Qing has gone mad! He was perfectly fine this morning, but after he came back and stayed in the bathroom for a while, he suddenly went crazy! You don't believe me? Xiao Yukino, listen—"

Junko over there seemed to be so frightened by her son's behavior that tears were almost welling up in her eyes.

With a sob in her throat, she turned the phone receiver around.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaoxue heard that familiar male voice that she hadn't heard in so long.

Just the content —

"Hahahaha, senior... junior... black tea... hahahaha... amazing... ahhhhh!!! Scream, hahahaha, my eyes and ears are blinded!! I'll never look at the black tea that Xiaoxue brews again... Little Lion... you teamed up to lie to me, betrayed my trust, I'm telling you, in this life, it's either you or me, so hurry up and give me back my kimchi, beef, and chicken leg filling buns that can be exchanged for game items... Junko, don't be sad about this, okay? Now, I have nothing to be afraid of... hahaha, I've been lied to by a strange woman again... what a professional artist is (hands on hips, leaning back)... I'll never believe in the world of pure love again..."

I listened silently to the voice on the other end, which had completely lost its mind.

However, Xiaoxue did not show the same fear as Junko; she calmly asked Junko a question.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Sobbing...sobbing...I just peeked, and Xiaoqing borrowed a few BL (Boys' Love) novels from somewhere and then this happened. It's all Junko's fault!!!"

a long time,

Having sorted out everything, Yukinoshita remained silent: "..."

That's it

call--

call----

At that moment, the girl bit her lip lightly, gripped her phone screen tightly, and took a deep breath, trying her best not to reveal her impolite side in front of Aunt Junko.

Smile, yes, just keep smiling. Especially in situations like this, you should show the most beautiful and gentle side of a woman in front of Aunt Junko.

But it's only been a few weeks since I last saw him, and this infamous young master Gian has already pulled so many tricks up his sleeve.

If his brother-obsessed older sister, Shinomiya, who's always worried about him, finds out, who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause.

"Auntie, could he come over to my place tonight?"

Xiaoxue tried her best to keep her voice from trembling.

"Yukino, are you back already?"

"Yes, I just got back today and I'm cleaning the apartment. Could you tell Ah Qing that I'm back and ask him to come over? I want to check if he's finished his summer homework on time, okay?"

Even though it was late at night, the gentle Yukino Yukinoshita still believed that Haruhi Kasuga could do it, didn't she?

The girl maintained her smile even as she hung up the phone.

With a slight exertion of force, those delicate hands...

Crack, it sounded like something was breaking.

……

…………

Twenty minutes later,

With a heart ashen with despair, Chunri Qing pushed open the door to Xiaoxue's apartment.

The light from the corridor seeped into the dark entryway.

Cool breeze

"Got you?"

In the pitch-black darkness, as someone gently embraced Chunri's body, a clear, melodious voice reached Chunri's ears.

Click,

The sound of the door closing.

It was still pitch black, and the floor-to-ceiling curtains in the living room had been drawn long ago. The boy trembled, raised his hands, and blurted out the words in his heart.

"I was wrong, it's all my fault, I'll never read porn again!!!"

This time, it was the boy who wept with regret.

"..."
