All the people who like me are other people’s girlfriends! ?

"Want to do something fun?"

"Miss Yang really likes to make dirty jokes regardless of the occasion."

"Just like Seino-kun likes to joke around."

But I'm not kidding.

On the back that he couldn't see, Yukinoshita Haruno had a complicated smile on her face.

A soft sigh came over, followed by a surge of water, and two slender arms hugged him from behind, a fuller touch that was completely different from the back.

There was a whisper in my ears.

"It's almost over. After all, no matter how willful I am, I can't let the future literary giant continue to waste my life with me."

Qingye fell silent. He didn't dare to move and just looked at the night sky in the distance.

"Ms. Yang No, could you please not test the male high school student's willpower while discussing serious matters?"

"We are adults now, and we all understand what this scene represents."

Yukinoshita Haruno's tone was calm, yet she carried a charming aura.

"Let me tell you something. The devil and angel in my mind have been fighting since a while ago. Just a second ago, the devil was already stepping on the angel's head. I almost recycled you!"

"Hmm, little brother is just good at talking. In reality, he is just a useless man who doesn't even dare to eat the delicious food that is delivered to his door."

Yukinoshita Haruno hummed, bit his shoulder lightly, and then stuck out her tongue.

"If you dare to take another step forward, everything will be turned upside down!" Qingye said sternly.

Unable to bear you, Yukinoshita Haruno withdrew her hand and just rested her head quietly on his back.

After a long silence, she whispered:

"What do you think I should do?"

"You are Yukinoshita Haruno, you should figure this out yourself."

Qingye didn't give her any advice, he knew that Yangno just needed someone to listen.

Yukinoshita Haruno stretched out her hand again, this time she hugged the waist.

"Honestly, I still haven't untied the knot in my heart. That woman has been demanding nothing of me since I was a kid, and I've lived up to her expectations. Now she's telling me it's all unnecessary. How can I let it go?"

Qingye hummed.

He heard the girl behind him continue to mutter:

"Would it be easier if we just cut off contact? Wouldn't we regret it if we just stopped communicating forever? Although it would be satisfying, it's still difficult to achieve. After all, we are family."

"What connects family members? Blood ties? Or interests?"

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the dark green mountain scenery in the distance.

He wondered if Yukinoshita's mother was also reflecting on this issue. Perhaps the Yukinoshita family could not be described as loving and harmonious, and perhaps they were even autocratic in some aspects, but she must have loved her two daughters deeply.

"I know. That woman shouldn't be as cold and heartless as I imagined, nor does she consider the family's interests the most important thing. That's why I'm annoyed and ambiguous. If she were that kind of person, I could take you away without any psychological burden."

She pressed her face against Qingye's back.

"My mother bows her head and apologizes to me? I bow my head and apologize to my mother? Then we reconcile and I engage in so-called healthy competition with Yukino? Haha... I can't imagine that scene."

Qingye listened quietly. He raised his hand and picked up a strand of black hair that was carried from behind by the gurgling hot spring water. He said seriously:

"Just do what you want to do, don't worry about things at home, I will do everything for you."

That's it.

Yukinoshita Haruno's heart suddenly palpitated. She realized what these words meant and fell back into her arms, enveloping him with the moving fragrance and warm touch.

Through the mist rising from the hot spring, he saw Yang Nai's eyes twinkling with starlight under the inverted starry sky.

"Then go help Yukino. But, this doesn't mean I'll give you to her, okay?"

"Ms. Yang Nai, you are feeling very heavy right now."

"Give me some more time, maybe a week, maybe a month, and I will try to talk to my mother again."

"Ah."

"Come and kiss."

Tonight is still and peaceful, and the experiences of the past few days seem like an illusion.

The starry sky is sparkling, and the stars and the moon are nestled together, like lovers cuddling each other.

Pure snowflakes drifted down gently, covering everything softly. The distant mountains, the rocks by the pool, and the swaying lanterns also drowned the two of them. All they could see was a holy expanse of white.

Their journey was coming to an end.

For the first time, she felt that winter was so beautiful.

114. Can I spend my life with you? [7K]

The cold wind in Chiba carries the scent of the sea. It is not as cold as the blade of fire in Tokyo, nor as desolate as the snowy fields of Hokkaido. It is a cold that is unique to this place and carries with it special memories.

Kiyono and Yukinoshita Haruno sat on a bench in the park. Although it was not far from the beach, the sea breeze was not that cold thanks to the trees planted nearby.

After that, another week passed, and tonight, Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly called him out. He vaguely guessed the eldest lady's purpose - she decided to go home.

The two remained silent, listening to each other's soft breathing, gazing at the tranquil night.

A thin layer of silvery white snow reflected the moonlight and the light of street lamps.

The white snow reflected the orange light, and it even looked a little warm.

Even so, the snow will melt away if touched slightly.

No matter how beautiful it is, the snow will melt.

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the traces of snow and naturally put her hand in his pocket:

"What is Yukino doing now?"

"I was casually drinking tea while waiting for you to come home." Qingye replied.

"What has Yukino been doing lately?"

"When I wake up in the morning, I subconsciously pick up my phone, hesitating whether to text you. But when I think about how I caused my sister to become like this, I still don't have the courage, my face is gloomy, and then I call me. From noon to afternoon, I will study my major at the University of Tokyo. In the evening, after drinking tea and taking a bath, I will repeat the morning behavior and end an exquisite day."

Qingye told the second young lady's daily life in one breath.

Yukinoshita Haruno raised an eyebrow, gently pinched his neck, and shook him back and forth: "This is too specific! Confess and I'll give you leniency! Tell me, why do you know so much? Did you secretly install a surveillance camera on Yukino-chan, hoping to have both sisters as a harem and fulfill your ambition?"

"We've lived together for so long, you should be able to guess it." Qingye said as if it was a matter of course.

"How is that possible?"

She complained, and there was a brief interruption in their conversation.

In the past, Yukinoshita Haruno could easily steer the conversation in the direction she wanted, but she no longer does that in front of Kiyono, because after they have a mutual understanding of each other's minds, it seems that there is no need for so many words.

If you want to talk, you can talk about the ordinary weather, the wild flowers you see on the roadside, and what happened today. If you don’t want to speak, you can also immerse yourself in this silence.

"Ah~ Kiyono-kun, look~ There's a UFO flying in the sky!"

Yukinoshita Haruno looked up at the charming night sky and suddenly cried out.

“…Nothing?”

Qingye followed her gaze, but only saw a huge bright moon, and looked puzzled.

Yukinoshita Haruno turned to face him with a serious expression: "Actually, I just awakened my superpower of predicting the future. A UFO will fall in fifteen minutes, and we just happened to hit it. Now we have to go back and solve the problem."

"Then Miss Yang Noi, can you predict my future?"

"Dedicate your life to Yukinoshita Haruno and have a child with me."

"This future is too dark!"

"Two, actually."

"It's getting even darker!? Am I a female knight who fell into a demon cave?!"

The two of them laughed and complained, then Qingye thought about it, slowly realized something, and said:

"You don't want to go home, so you deliberately found an excuse."

"Really? Don't read my sister's mind." She did not deny this.

Ah, Qingye understood.

He could understand this feeling. When facing important things in life, people wanted to use accidents to escape from it all, so that they would not have to face it and could shirk responsibility with peace of mind.

Especially since the mother and daughter had such a fierce quarrel before, it was normal that he didn't know how to deal with it. Not to mention Yukinoshita Haruno, even he couldn't imagine how they would get along.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yukinoshita Haruno is a perfect beauty. In the eyes of her younger sister, she is a powerful object of admiration and pursuit. But in front of her mother, she is just a girl with a somewhat awkward personality.

Nevertheless, what needs to be done must be done.

Yukinoshita Haruno moved closer to Kiyono, patted his thigh with her hand, and shouted in a complaining tone:

"Ah, so annoying! I don't want to go home! I want to continue living a sweet life with Qingye! Whether it's a meteorite or a snowstorm, just block the way home!"

"Since you called me here, there's no turning back. I won't let you get away."

There was a power in his voice that made people feel at ease.

Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes curved with laughter: "The little Qingye just now seemed to be the male lead in a romance drama. Can you say that last sentence again?"

"Never."

What a pity! Yukinoshita Haruno sighed exaggeratedly, rested her head on his shoulder, and snorted, "It's not like I've wronged that woman. Why should I run away?"

"But, right now, I have so many emotions going on in my mind. I'm irritable and uneasy, and I feel guilty and guilty towards Yukino. There's so much more. That's why I don't want to go home. I don't know how to face it..."

She seemed to want to bury herself completely in his arms.

"To be honest, the day I ran away from home, I felt like I would never return to that home."

This seemed like a key option, or a premonition... She couldn't help but start to think wildly.

The key point is Qingye. If Qingye was not there, she might become addicted to alcohol and sink into depravity, allowing the distortion accumulated over more than ten years to entangle her heart. She would be jealous of her sister, pity herself, hate her mother, and fall into the abyss together.

In this mood, she might choose to go abroad and never have any contact with them again, or perhaps even become hostile to them...

She imagined what if.

If Qingye is willing to fall into depravity with her, and the two of them only have each other in their world and indulge in it forever, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea.

"But you're back."

He said this, holding her hand as firmly as before.

"--ah."

Yukinoshita Haruno slowly clasped his fingers together, confirming their body temperatures. That assumption was no longer important. She must be cherishing the situation at this moment that had evolved from it.

"Yeah, I obviously like Yukino the most, and Yukino obviously did nothing wrong, but before I still had ugly feelings for her. I think this is my fault. I don't have the face to face Yukino."

She thought seriously for a while.

"But now, I can stand straight in front of Yukino, in front of my mother, without any guilt. How can I say this..."

She looked up at the bright moon that was slowly emerging from the thin clouds.

"I can accept myself now. Because you accept me as I am now."

Yukinoshita Haruno turned to look at him, stars twinkling in her eyes.

"My heart has not become pure and spotless because of this. There are still many dark and dirty emotions there. Although there are still dirty parts, I am no longer afraid to let them see the light."

Qingye smiled and said, "It seems that this trip was not in vain."

"Well, it's a memory I will never forget in my life." Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and shook their interlocked hands. There was a sweet light like honey in her eyes, as if she had just obtained the most precious candy in the world.

"You don't have to remember it forever."

This girl's gravity attribute is becoming more and more obvious... Before he could complain, he suddenly closed his mouth and was lost in thought.

Yukinoshita Haruno's smile is so beautiful.

Those crystal-like eyes seemed to be able to draw people in, and the sound they produced was extremely gentle.

"Thank you for bringing me here."
