Let's do it again, Yukino.

"Ha, who's in charge of this family, you or me? Who should we listen to, you or me? Are you trying to start a rebellion?"

Xiaoxue sneered, looking at Chunri who had suddenly become assertive.

Spring used the light snow as a shield and pushed it in front of her, remaining silent for a long time.

"When we agree, you'll listen to me, Kasuga Gian; when we disagree, you'll listen to me, Yuki..."

This is a treaty that the girl across the street and Kasuga agreed upon a long time ago. Although it was signed when Kasuga was drunk, and Kasuga didn't realize it at the time, he thought it was an absolutely fair treaty. Now that I think about it...

There's absolutely no male chauvinism here!!

Despite it being a bright and sunny morning, the boy was so angry at this forceful treaty that he trembled all over, and cold sweat poured down his palms and soles.

"Xiaoxue, you've gone too far! If you dare go to school today, I, I, I, I'll fucking kill myself right here!!"

Driven to the brink, the boy slammed his hand on the sofa cushion and placed Xiaoxiaoxue's fluffy little ball of flesh next to his neck, threatening the girl who was standing there.

Little Snowflake, being quite understanding, meowed at her mistress, emphasizing the seriousness of the matter.

"..."

Having lived two lives, Chunri never knew the preciousness of life, but he did know his vulnerable position in the family. Usually, crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide were quite effective.

a long time,

"Sigh... Okay, then I won't go, alright?"

A helpless sigh echoed in the living room.

Finally, looking at the boy staring back at her, Yukino sighed, rubbed her forehead, and then, amused and exasperated, put her schoolbag back on the sofa.

"This is the best Xiaoxue, and I feel sorry for you too."

"Then won't you go to school in my place?"

Leaning back on the sofa, Xiaoxue took Xiaoxue into her arms and rolled her eyes at the boy speechlessly.

Actually, if you go in the spring, the effect is the same.

"That won't do. If I go, I'll leave Xiaoxue alone. What if she falls and gets hurt?"

Spring shook her head without hesitation.

What a joke! If he were gone, how could he possibly regain his former glory in all this long time?

"A pervert as delicate as an embroidery needle, or simply a needle wolf."

Xiaoxue was speechless at Aqing's shamelessness, her face slightly flushed, as if she was recalling the glory of last night. Although she had been on guard against the boy's shamelessness, it seemed that he was becoming even more presumptuous when the last layer of their relationship was broken.

"Needle? I can't pretend I didn't hear that word."

Chunri, holding Xiaoxue's hand, wanted to walk towards the bathroom or bedroom.

"Xiaoxue, this is an insult to my dignity as a man! Come on, bring Xiaoxue along, let it witness this and tell you whether it's a needle or not. Tell me, in this respect, please give me the respect I deserve. Even if it is a needle, it's not a needle; you should call it the Sea-Stabilizing Needle!!!"

"..."

Yukinoshita suddenly felt like laughing out loud, but she thought that if she laughed because of this, it might be a bigger blow to the boy.

Just as the boy was about to howl like a wolf in unison with the girl...

On the coffee table in the living room, his phone, which he had just briefly turned on to check the time and then turned off again, suddenly rang.

The ringing of bells went on and on.

It never stopped.

Frowning, Chunri hesitated, staring at the irritating ringtone, wondering whether she should answer it.

For some reason, Chunri had a strong premonition that if he answered the phone, he might not have any time to show his masculine dignity and prowess today.

"You should still answer it. The phone has been switched off since yesterday..."

Snow shook off Spring's hand and gestured with her white chin towards the edge of the coffee table.

Helpless, Chunri sighed and walked in that direction, muttering complaints all the while.

"Seriously, who's so blind?! If I find out about that guy Hachiman, I'll definitely make sure your sister and Yui get together as yuri!!"

He held the phone to his ear without looking up.

Silently, I pressed the answer button.

immediately,

That one!

"It's so hard, it's so hard... We've run out of ideas... Xiao Qing, please come back soon, something terrible has happened at home... We can't live without you... Waaah..."

Snapped!

Before the other party could finish speaking, Chunri quickly hung up the phone.

"!!"

My goodness!

"What's wrong?"

Xiaoxue came closer.

"..."

Without saying a word, Chunri sat on the sofa in a thoughtful pose.

he was thinking,

How should I react when facing a mother who's ruining her son's life?

Chapter Sixty-One: Let's do it again...

"Xiaoxue, I have to go home temporarily. Junko told me that some 'something' came to my house last night."

After listening to Junko's tearful complaints and hanging up the phone, Haruhi, having learned everything, looked at his girlfriend, who was sitting on the sofa looking like a little bird clinging to him, with some difficulty.

If possible, Kasuga really didn't want to say such a thing to Yukinoshita.

"You were just asking me to stay, but now you're the one who's left first."

"..."

Chunri lowered his head, looking somewhat ashamed, but he didn't make any excuses.

"I'll come back as soon as I finish taking care of things at home. It won't take too long."

If it were someone else's business, Haruhi could ignore it, but when it involved his family, he couldn't help but pause his usual routine.

"Just kidding. Go ahead, and remember to be careful on the road."

Finally, Xiaoxue waved to Chunri, who smiled contentedly, put on her coat, and headed towards the entrance.

Before he could even run two steps, the boy stumbled and almost fell in the entryway.

Spring couldn't help but turn around and chuckle at Xiaoxue.

"The side effects from last night... my legs are weak now..."

"Are you an idiot... Just remember to watch out for cars on the road and be careful."

With a gentle reminder from the snow, Haruhi quickly left the apartment.

……

I rode the Snow Mountain bike towards my apartment.

The bicycle sped along the road, and the relaxed expression on Xiaoxue's face that had been in spring turned into a solemn one.

"That young lady, Shinomiya, really..."

If Junko hadn't told him that the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family had come to his apartment, Kasuga would probably have been completely kept in the dark.

I was slightly angry, but mostly speechless at the young lady's lack of intelligence.

Is he shorter than me?

We clearly agreed back then that we'd go our separate ways, but now look what's happened—you've moved into my house and even caught a fever and cold because of the change in environment.

"What a disaster... such a wonderful day, ruined by you, my so-called sister."

With a sigh, springtime passed by a hill, and I casually pulled out my phone from my pocket, hesitating whether to contact the blonde maid.

It took almost half an hour to get back to the apartment. I pushed open the door...

Before even entering the living room, while still in the entryway, Kasuga heard a sound like a young girl's coquettish sobbing coming from the direction of the bedroom. The coquettish sobbing was accompanied by the sobbing of a certain Junko.

"Sob...sob...Kaguya-chan, wait a moment, Haru will be back soon. Don't cry, you've been tossing and turning in bed all night, your cold is getting worse."

"My little brother... is gone."

"Xiao Qing isn't gone!!"

"It's gone."

Kasuga: "..."

Haruhi believed she would never forget the voices of those two women in her lifetime.

"What are you doing..."

Frowning, he opened the bedroom door. As soon as he stood in the doorway, Junko pounced on him from the edge of the bed.

"Haru, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, Junko really wouldn't know what to do. Now we realize that Haru was much cuter when she was little, so much better than this Kaguya-chan."

It seemed that she had been tormented all night. Junko, who was not good at taking care of herself, had her hair styled like a bird's nest on a dry autumn branch, and her face looked much more haggard.

"Why didn't you just not let her in in the first place?"

Taking the wet towel from Junko's hand, and looking at Shinomiya Kaguya sitting blankly on the bed like a silly girl, Haruhi complained to Junko without any politeness.

"Junko can't bear to leave a girl like that out alone..."

Junko scratched her head, and as she explained, she yawned, exhausted from a long night's work.

"Go lie down in the living room for a while, I'll take care of this silly girl."
