Yukino raised her head and spoke to Yoko, her kind eyes seeming to hide something that Yoko couldn't decipher.
"Saber, what do you think?"
Ye Ziye didn't answer first, but instead asked Altria, which was definitely impolite, but he didn't care.
"I'm fine."
Artoria has always been a very easy-going person, only occasionally serious.
"Then let's sit together."
Despite being treated this way, Yukinoshita Haruno still smiled, as if this woman would never get angry.
This is quite different from Yukino Yukinoshita.
You can tell a lot from the sisters' names: one is like the sun, and the other is like ice and snow.
Although the sun is warm, it can never be approached; although ice and snow are cold, they can occasionally be warmed up.
"Thank you very much then."
With a slight bow, Yukinoshita followed behind Yoko.
Actually, she also had a little spot in this paid area, but she didn't mention it.
"Ye Zijun, it's been a long time since we last met. You seem to have grown taller, taller than most of my bodyguards, and even more charming."
Thank you.
After nodding slightly, Ye Ziye didn't say much. Many of the girls around him would comment on his height.
Each time, a ripple would appear in his heart, but this time, when it came from Yukinoshita's mouth, he didn't feel that way.
Perhaps this is what the closeness and distance in a relationship are like, Ye Ziye thought, finding it quite strange.
"Still as indifferent as before... Yezi-kun..."
Ye Ziye glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno beside him, who was lost in thought, and nodded.
"Maybe..."
Is it really the same indifference as always? Ye Ziye doesn't think so; it's just that the right person is different.
Chapter 328
The fireworks in the sky were still dazzling, but there weren't many people watching them now; beauty is always fleeting.
Ye Ziye casually found a spot, spread out a tablecloth, and placed all the bento boxes she had prepared on it. Although she had only prepared enough for two people, Yukinoshita Haruno probably wouldn't be able to eat much.
The two girls were now sitting on the blanket, chatting idly.
That is, Yukino Yukinoshita. If it were Yukino Yukinoshita, she probably wouldn't say a word.
"Artoria, may I ask how long you and Ye Zi have been living together?"
"It's been about half a year."
Tilt her head slightly and gave a rough estimate, though she had never really grasped the concept of such things.
If it's the date of a sword competition, she'll definitely remember it.
"It's been so long? Then you and Ye Zi must have a very good relationship."
"It's really good; Yezi has always taken good care of me..."
Artoria frowned. She found Yukinoshita Haruno a bit strange. Although she was all smiles, unlike Yukinoshita Yukino, and although she was cold, she was surprisingly easy to talk to.
"I see..."
With a chuckle, Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to have sensed something and didn't ask any further questions.
How could she possibly be interested in other people's private affairs? It was all for Yukino Yukinoshita. But she had never heard her sister mention anything about Artoria.
The sisters' relationship is quite delicate; sometimes they act like strangers, and other times they share things happening around them like good friends.
A brief silence fell over the air. Artoria slowly walked to Ye Ziye's side, who was tidying the tablecloth, and whispered...
"Yoko, what should I call Yukinoshita's older sister?"
Upon hearing this question, Ye Ziye paused in his tidying up. This really stumped him, because he didn't know that this was only their second meeting.
Logically, a classmate's older sister should also be addressed as "older sister," but since we just happened to run into each other, this form of address seems a bit deliberate.
"Let's call her Miss Yukinoshita."
This is the name Ye Ziye occasionally uses for Yukino Yukinoshita in her mind. As sisters, it shouldn't be a problem for Ye Ziye to call Yukino Yukinoshita Haruno this way.
Honorifics are always a good choice.
"I see."
Artoria nodded, seemingly not wanting Yukinoshita Haruno to feel ostracized, and quickly sat back down.
"Miss Yukinoshita, did you come to the fireworks festival alone?"
Upon hearing this title, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't feel uncomfortable at all; that's how people around her usually addressed her.
"I guess I didn't come here on my own..."
Yukino Yukinoshita slightly raised her chin, revealing a rare touch of cuteness in this mature woman, though Ye Ziye found it somewhat unsettling.
"Why should it be 'should'?"
Artoria didn't quite understand. Being alone was being alone, and being with others was being with others. Why did she have to say it was "should be"?
"I came in place of my father, and I've been greeting strangers the whole time. It's really boring."
Yukinoshita placed her hands on the grass, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and wondered if she was feeling melancholy.
"Social interactions in capitalism..."
Ye Ziye finally finished tidying everything up and made a slight complaint.
He remembered that the Yukinoshita family seemed to have a lot of influence, not only in the business world but also in the political world.
In this so-called high society, social interaction is the most basic requirement, and as the eldest daughter of the family, with this kind of personality, Yukino Yukinoshita certainly has to shoulder this responsibility.
Upon hearing Ye Ziye's words, Yukino Yukinoshita was slightly taken aback, then burst out laughing, completely abandoning her previous ladylike demeanor.
Yukinoshita seemed much more relaxed, let out a long breath, and spoke.
"You could say that. After all, in a family like that, things like this are bound to happen a lot. Luckily, I met you, Ye Zi..."
Yukino looked at him like he was an old friend, which puzzled Ye Ziye. Did meeting twice already make them old friends?
However, Yukinoshita Haruno didn't make any physical movements, so it didn't bother her.
After speaking, Yukinoshita Haruno tilted her gaze slightly towards Yoko Yoru and said...
"I remember this was the VIP section. I didn't realize you were so wealthy, Ye Zi..."
"Well, it's alright."
Ye Ziye pursed his lips, rubbed Artoria's little head, and continued speaking.
"Let's eat something first."
"it is good."
Artoria responded sweetly, while Yukinoshita Haruno, noticing Ye Ziye's gaze, didn't say anything more and consciously sat down to one side.
"By the way, Ms. Yukinoshita, I'd like to know... didn't Yukino come along?"
Ye Ziye paused for a moment. This was the first time he had called the girl by her name directly, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it.
But there was nothing he could do about it. The name "Yukinoshita" was already taken by Yukinoshita Haruno in front of him, so he had no choice but to call her that in order to avoid confusion.
"Xiaoxue should stay at home. You know her personality; she's never liked these kinds of occasions. So usually, I, the eldest daughter, attend the events (Zhao Hao's). This is a policy set by my mother, our mother..."
"Let's eat first."
Ye Ziye has no interest in listening to other people's family affairs right now. If it really comes to knowing these things, he hopes it will happen naturally during a casual conversation, with Yukino Yukinoshita bringing it up naturally.
Yukino Yukinoshita was slightly taken aback, but she didn't say anything. She picked up a disposable chopstick from the side, picked up a piece of bok choy, and put it into her cherry-like mouth.
Then her eyes widened slightly, and she covered her mouth as she spoke.
"Ye Zi Jun, it's delicious! I've heard Xiao Xue mention before that you're a good cook, but I didn't expect it to be this good. It's much better than my family's chef."
"Thank you."
Ye Ziye nodded, feeling a little happy for some reason.
Humans are really strange creatures, and so are they.
Chapter 329
"Yoko-kun, Yukino often grumbles about you at home these days, and sometimes she even stares blankly at a strange red doll."
Yukino Yukinoshita showed no shyness whatsoever, continuing to slowly put food into her mouth with elegant posture, befitting a young lady from a wealthy family.
Ye Ziye didn't speak, thinking to herself that the strange red doll must be Decade. She didn't expect it to still be kept by Yukino Yukinoshita.
Looking at the silent Ye Ziye, Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly let out a long sigh and spoke.
"I don't know why, but I always feel a little nervous in front of Ye Zi-jun. I forgot to ask just now, I hope my sudden arrival didn't bother you?"
"It's alright, as long as Saber didn't say anything, it's fine."
Ye Ziye seemed indifferent and then began to eat.
"Ye Zi, you and Artoria have a really good relationship."
"Having lived together for so long, it's hard for the relationship not to be good, just like you and Yukino."
"Me and Yukino? Maybe."
Yukino took a deep look at Artoria, who was silently eating, and said nothing, her beautiful smile unchanged.
"It feels like you two are a couple."
"Miss Yukinoshita, you've already said that once..."
"Oh, sorry."
Yukinoshita covered her mouth and chuckled softly, but the smile didn't seem genuine.
During the brief intervals between fireworks displays, the surroundings turned pitch black, making it difficult to see Yukino's eyes clearly. However, the light shining in those eyes was undoubtedly darker than the night sky.
