The heart is beating fast.

There is an exaggerated saying that "blood vessels are about to burst". At that moment, Yukinoshita Haruno understood the meaning of this sentence.

Her head suddenly began to boil, as if all the blood in her body rushed to her.

She didn't know what to say and could only stare at her mother in amazement.

What should she say?

"……joke."

She said something she hadn't even thought of.

Yukino's mother looked at her: "Yino, what do you want to say?"

“—Stop joking—!!!”

After saying this, Yukinoshita Haruno realized her feelings.

She thought she was completely disappointed and would no longer have any emotions, but she found that she was really too naive.

She didn't know how to organize her surging emotions into words, so she just picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it hard to the ground, breaking it into countless pieces.

The crisp sound made Yukinoshita Yukino beside her shrink in surprise...Sister?

Yukinoshita's mother couldn't understand her daughter's behavior for a moment. After the teacup shattered, she finally realized that Yang No was yelling at her, and her face became completely gloomy.

"you--!"

Yukinoshita Haruno's body was trembling. She had a mouth and teeth in her heart, and she was thinking with gritted teeth in her heart.

"You—a mother's responsibility? Do you have such a thing! You were the one who trained me as the heir! You were the one who made me a role model for Yukino and promoted her growth! You were the one who didn't let me go out to play! You were the one who made me work hard to become excellent! You were the one who made me smile all the time! Because of the goal you set for me, I have lived like this for more than ten years!"

She stared at her mother with red eyes.

"And now, you're the one who's trying to take away my only reason for living—!!!"

Family love is a double-edged sword. The subtle actions of family members can fill the heart with happiness, but a light word from family members can also make the heart bleed. Now, she raised the knife and stabbed it into the hearts of the two people.

"And now you're hypocritically telling me you'll support me financially? Fulfill your responsibilities? Don't you laugh when you say that? Do you think I'll wag my tail and fawn over you just by putting a little bait in front of me?"

Drip, drip, water droplets slid down Yukinoshita's cheeks, her voice hoarse: "Let me tell you, I've never cared about your pathetic heirship. I just wanted you..."

Yukinoshita's mother's lips were trembling. So, this is what Haruno has always thought...?

Yukinoshita Yukino also looked at her sister and mother blankly, unable to say anything.

Yang No sniffed.

"That might not be the right thing to say, but you are indeed a qualified mother, but that's for Yukino."

Her screams seemed to release all the emotions she had accumulated over the years.

"From childhood to adulthood, you've put your heart into Yukino. When she wanted to go out, you let her go. When she wanted to live outside, you let her live alone. When she wanted to form a club, you didn't have any objections. You worried about her, cared about her, and loved her. You even gave her the things and emotions that I worked so hard to get to this point!"

This feeling must be very similar to jealousy, and even includes jealousy, but it is not just jealousy.

Various images flashed through my mind.

"She is your biological daughter. I am just an outsider. I have to bear everything and I am unworthy of everything. After all, I am three years older than her!"

Yukinoshita's mother said, "...Yino."

It turns out this person can also make such an expression. It feels so good.

The desire for self-abuse and sadomasochism made Yukinoshita Haruno tremble all over, but for some reason, sadness and pain occupied her heart at the same time. Ah, why should she think about these things now?

She casually wiped the tears from her face, took a deep breath, and turned around.

"It's my fault. I should have realized it long ago—"

"There is no place for me in this family."

The lonely voice echoed in the room, and she walked out the door without any reluctance.

There was dead silence in the room.

Yukinoshita Yukino's little head was blank. She had not yet recovered from the deep shock. She looked up at her mother blankly, and finally remembered something. She picked up her cell phone and sent a text message with trembling fingers.

"Qing, Qingye-kun, my sister ran away from home!"

112. Elopement [Two-in-One]

Yukinoshita Haruno rushed out of the house, walking in a daze.

Her mind was in a mess. She didn't know where to go or what to do. The only thing she was sure of was to stay away from here. She just wanted to be alone.

Walking, walking, and walking non-stop.

The snowflakes falling from the sky dyed her hair pure white, but she didn't care about the white snow on her hair, letting the crystal clear new snow fall on her body, melting, becoming wet, and freezing her body.

Fortunately, she still had her cell phone and wallet with her, so she was not left stranded.

She walked to the station, the densely packed route map like her thoughts. She suddenly remembered an introduction she had read in a magazine before, saying that there was an ancient church in the next town, so she bought a one-way ticket.

The town was very close, less than two stops away. Yukinoshita Haruno's body swayed slightly with the train. She looked at her reflection in the window and felt like she was looking at another stranger.

The church is very close and you can find out the location by just asking an old lady. Yukinoshita Haruno pushed open the door. There are no nuns or priests in the church here. It is just an ordinary church in the countryside. All the people coming and going are kind old people. They regard this place as a place to chat and provide free food to people in need.

This place is old and warm, the pulpit is mottled, the faded portraits of saints are holding lilies and grapes, the patterns of the stained glass windows gleam faintly in the snow, and the firewood in the fireplace crackles and explodes with sparks.

As time went on, the elderly people left one after another. The last old lady to leave looked at Yukinoshita Haruno who was in a daze. She didn't ask any questions, but took out the key chain, put it in her hand, and gently reminded her to be safe.

The church became empty, and she was the only one left.

Yukinoshita Haruno is not worried about her own safety. Her Aikido training is second only to her mother, and she also carries self-defense items with her.

The sky gradually darkened, the snow was still falling, and the strong wind made the door panels rattle, and the sound of the wind sounded like faint crying.

Yukinoshita Haruno hugged her legs and rested her chin on her knees. A cold breeze blew, she shivered and slowly curled up.

She thought she would curse everything when she came to the church, but to her surprise, she was just looking back at her past and family.

What kind of existence is a younger sister to Yukinoshita Haruno?

It was incredible. She thought she had forgotten those things a long time ago, but the moment this thought came to her mind, all kinds of images emerged in her mind, and even her mood was so vivid.

She clearly remembered that the day Yukino was born was January 3rd. It was snowing heavily that day, so her mother named her Yukino.

To be honest, she didn't care at all about her sister's birth at first, and even felt disgusted instinctively. After all, you can't expect a three-year-old child to understand what a sister represents. It's just that her parents were very happy, so she laughed too.

Even after living with her sister, her mood did not change, because her sister looked so delicate that she would be hurt if touched. Rather than 'loving', her mood was more like 'being cautious not to make mistakes', and she tried not to contact her.

Moreover, Yukino has been a quiet person since she was a child and would not take the initiative to look for her, so the two sisters grew up with this cold relationship.

I finally realized that Yukino was my sister when I was in the third grade of elementary school.

It was a typical day during the summer vacation. She had just finished her homework and was about to take a break when she saw Yukino standing behind her. Her long black hair hung on her cheeks like drooping rabbit ears. She said timidly, "Sister, I can't get the picture book."

Was this supposed to be a request for help? Even the request was so awkward. It seemed her sister had some personality issues. The clever girl had vaguely sensed something.

But how should I put it, facing Yukino's first request, her first thought was "I want to help her", this feeling seemed to be engraved in her genes.

She picked up the ladder and helped Yukino take the fairy tale picture book off the bookshelf. Seeing Yukino holding the book with a smile in her eyes, her mood also brightened up. But the younger sister didn't even say thank you for her sister's help. There was really something wrong with her character - before she had time to think about it, Yukino handed her a candy, looked up at her, and stammered as if she wanted to say thank you.

At that moment, she deeply understood that she was this guy's sister and they would grow up together. After that, their relationship gradually improved.

Then, here we are.

These images flashed in my mind like a movie playing on an old TV.

There is no doubt that Yukinoshita Haruno deeply loves her sister - because her sister is so fragile, cute and beautiful. Yukino is like a touchable shadow, with her regrets and her persistence. Looking at Yukino is like looking at another possibility of herself. She will often think about her with concern, as if by telepathy, without even needing a reason.

But at the same time, Yukinoshita Haruno is also jealous of her sister - because her sister has everything she wants, freedom, pampering, and ease, but also takes away everything from her, her family affection, her goals, and her feelings.

She was jealous but couldn't help getting close to him, she yearned for him but couldn't get him. These completely opposite thoughts kept intertwining in her mind, making her mentality distorted.

Why do people have the feeling of jealousy?

Yukinoshita Haruno hates herself like this.

If only the sun didn't rise, the night would cover the earth, and the snow would never melt.

If she could just sleep like this forever, she could hide her ugliness and selfishness in her dreams.

However, she also hoped that someone would accept this Yukinoshita Haruno.

Qing Ye......

Clear field.

I couldn't help thinking about him and was attracted to him, just like a missing piece in my heart longing to fill the void.

At this moment, the wind, snow and the slamming of the door suddenly stopped. Someone closed the door and the sound of footsteps began to sound. The moment she heard the footsteps, Yukinoshita Haruno's body relaxed.

"Ms. Yang Nai, you deliberately hid here, are you testing the tacit understanding between us?

The footsteps stopped, and a familiar voice echoed in the small church.

Yukinoshita Haruno turned her head, and the moonlight reflected from the stained glass windows shone down, illuminating a handsome face, but when she saw the boy's appearance clearly, she was suddenly stunned.

At this time, Qingye was covered in snow, with tiny ice crystals on the ends of his hair, his eyelashes soaked by the melted snow, and even the white breath he exhaled was trembling slightly, but he stood there, smiling at her like a fool.

Her heart was gripped hard, and she bit her lip, then she realized what Qingye had done for her.

According to her style, she should have said something teasing, but she just stood up subconsciously and walked towards Qingye.

"Hehe, are you moved by me? I didn't do anything. I just ran to four churches nearby and got caught in the snow for five hours..."

After taking a breath, Qingye was still joking there, but the next moment, his voice stopped abruptly.

Yukinoshita Haruno hugged him.

--warmth.

It was like a warm breeze blowing through an icy canyon, turning the snow and wind into a continuous spring rain.

"Idiot, I'm not such an easy woman to deal with." Her voice was so soft that it didn't sound like her own.

Qingye thought to himself, "Don't be so stubborn. Those soft and beautiful things are all there..." He didn't dare to say this out loud. His arms stiffened for a moment, but he still hugged her.

After a long hug, Yukinoshita Haruno let go of him, and said with a look of disgust that her clothes were wet and dirty, but she still gently helped him brush off the snow on his body bit by bit.

The two of them sat side by side on the ground. The Virgin Mary in the stained glass lowered her eyes gently at them, and the moonlight cast spots of light on the ground.

"Do you want to commit suicide with me?" Yukinoshita Haruno said this again, but unlike the last time when she was excited and loud, this time she seemed very calm.

"It's not the right time yet." Qingye gave the same answer.

Yukinoshita Haruno turned her head and looked at the boy's profile. If she just stretched out her hand, she could touch him.

If it was this person—

In this secret world of only two people, she hopes there will be nothing to hide.

Reveal the face beneath the mask, release the impulses restrained by reason, and express the loneliness in daily life.

She hopes to show each other's feelings and pour out all the deep emotions.

Yukinoshita Haruno stretched out her hand, and their hands naturally held together.

"Do you know what I did today? I yelled at my mother and smashed a teacup. I wanted to just hold it in but I couldn't."

She smiled, but her smile seemed a little helpless.

"I guessed it when you ran here."

Qingye also smiled and took over the conversation. This was exactly the result he hoped for. Even if they hurt each other and quarreled, it was better than suppressing it all the time. If a person suppressed himself to the limit, the end result would often be self-destruction.

Rather, it could be said that this quarrel was also fueled by his previous instigation.

"What should Yukino do now? I exposed such an embarrassing side of myself in front of her. The girl she likes, Yukinoshita Haruno, must be dead. Moreover, after such a quarrel, she must be in a difficult situation now..."

Yukinoshita Haruno sighed deeply - this was the first time she mentioned herself and Yukino to Kiyono.

"She must prefer a sister like this." Qingye said affirmatively.

"What should I do next..."

Yukinoshita Haruno said whatever she thought, with an expression that was uneasy, irritable, bright and relaxed - she seemed to have gained the freedom she had imagined, not bound by her family, and could do whatever she wanted. But when she left the identity of Yukinoshita, she was left with only confusion in her heart.

She felt like a piece of paper, which would be blown away by the wind and run wherever it went.

If Qingye was not here, she would definitely imprison herself and spend her time in a daze. However, as long as she thought of him by her side, the ice in her heart would quietly crack, and some warm liquid would seep out of the tiny cracks, reminding her of the melting streams in spring and the flowers swaying in the morning light, and the world would become brighter.

"Just do what you want to do. I'll always be with you. For example, if you want to eat ramen at a certain restaurant, we'll go there. If you want to play in a band, we'll perform on the streets in a busy place. We can also watch the snow and flowers, cats, and the stars. There are many delicious, fun, and beautiful things in this world. You can eat whatever you want, laugh whenever you want, and cry whenever you want."
