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

——For the first time, she directly revealed the emotional problems among the three people.

Faced with her daughter's almost sarcastic words, Yukinoshita's mother stroked her cheek and let out a breath.

"What I said just now was also for you, Yang Nai. Before you graduate from university, I will no longer interfere in the relationship between the three of you. Everything is up to you to make your own choices. Whether it's love or love, just try to explore it."

In the past, she always thought that Qingye should be the one to help inherit the family business, but after seeing Yang No's tears, these thoughts faded - they already had inseparable emotions and bonds, and it would be unfair to ask either daughter to give up. In this case, let them think, worry, and decide for themselves.

This might be out of guilt towards them, or maybe it's because he doesn't want them to get hurt again, or maybe it's because he trusts Qingye...

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at her mother with mixed feelings. In the past, she had never been able to tell what her mother was thinking, but now she could clearly feel the deep affection in her mother's words...

She didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she simply turned her head and gave Qingye a teasing smile.

"Did you hear that, Seiya-kun? Mother said you can start a harem."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qingye suddenly felt like there were several needles under his butt.

Mother Yukinoshita tapped her palms with her folding fan and added helplessly:

"This is just the dating stage, not marriage. If you want to truly enter into marriage, you must take responsibility for each other's life. If it really comes to that, I will definitely give you more tests."

"Um, can I... say something?"

Qingye suddenly spoke.

The three Yukinoshita's eyes shifted to him, as if to say: Do you have any objections?

Then, they heard Qingye's voice again.

"How many years have I been in our family?"

This was a somewhat baffling question. Yukinoshita Haruno thought about it and held up ten fingers: "Almost ten years, right?"

"I have always admired Miss Yang No and Miss Yukino, but I hope to have a relationship that transcends money, status, work, family, favors, and lust..."

This is what he had said to Banaijian before.

He still owes the Yukinoshita family a favor. Call it old-fashioned or pure, he doesn't want his feelings to be mixed with impurities.

So, Qingye said:

"If you really propose...will I do it properly after ten years?"

and many more?

ten years?

The three Yukinoshita suddenly grasped a key word and fell silent in thought.

So that's how it is... They have always ignored this point. If you put yourself in his shoes, you will realize that it is indeed very difficult for him to carry such a burden.

Although it was long and troublesome, they, who had the same awkward personalities, could actually understand Qingye.

Yukinoshita Haruno grabbed his hand, put her palms together, and smiled mischievously: "Ten years against ten years?"

"Ah."

Of course, Qingye didn't think that just ten years was enough to repay the Yukinoshita family for their upbringing. This was just a reason he found for himself, a reason to temporarily put aside these external emotions, truly face his own heart, and make a choice.

"Then I'll wait for you for a moment."

The two eldest daughters of the Yukinoshita family stared at Kiyono's face for a while.

At the same time, he smiled.

——April, Tokyo.

The sunset glow cut through the floor-to-ceiling windows, dividing the living room of the duplex apartment into two halves of light and dark. Qingye slowly stood up from the sofa, blocking the light coming through the window behind him, shrouding his front in hazy shadows. He looked as bloodthirsty and powerful as a demon king who had come to an unfamiliar map.

Hehehe, Tokyo will eventually crawl at my feet!

"Click."

The door was opened without permission, and a young girl walked in, glancing at him coldly. Then, both the aura of the devil and the ambition to conquer the world were shattered into a warm daily routine under the gaze of his childhood sweetheart.

Qingye looked on as if nothing had happened.

Today, Xuexia was wearing a light blue long skirt with simple patterns on the hem, covering her calves. Her long black hair fell softly and naturally to her waist. Her temperament was still as cold as the biting cold wind in the far north.

——They have been living in college for two days.

After entering the University of Tokyo, he and Yukinoshita Yukino naturally moved to Tokyo as well - not living together, but just living in the same apartment, with rooms just happening to be next to each other.

Looking at the college student Yukinoshita Yukino in front of him, Kiyono couldn't help but sigh.

In the blink of an eye, they seemed to have all grown up.

Yukinoshita Yukino no longer wears school uniforms, but instead wears her own clothes. The light outfit makes her look more beautiful and cool, which can be summarized as "maturity", but it also means that she maintains a certain distance from school and youth.

That's right... Yukino is already a college student, and will be the head of the Yukinoshita family in the future. We can no longer look at her with the same eyes as in the past.

Qingye truly felt the passage of time, and his mood was rippling, as if a small stone fell into a quiet lake, causing ripples.

In fact, he hopes that Yukinoshita can maintain her original self, without having to deliberately become mature, without having to rush to grow up, without having to bear everything alone, but to go slower and slower.

"As expected, I still prefer high school students."

"Kiyono-jun, your remarks can already be classified as a criminal suspicion." Judge Yukinoshita Yukino looked at her as if she was looking at garbage.

"Wouldn't the overdue high school girl Yukinoshita-san feel the same way?"

The man stood in the sunset, his eyes lowered, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, and his voice was so light that it seemed to come from far away.

"In high school, I could listen to the chirping of cicadas, watch the golden sunlight shine through the windowsill and onto the chalk-dust-stained podium. I could walk home together in the sunset corridor, I could do my duty for you, and we could sit in a deserted shrine and unconsciously hold each other's hands... It was simply that I liked you and you liked me."

He sighed.

"But after entering university, the love, hate, and vengeance of high school were all forgotten. Raging hormones blurred the boundaries between love and sex, and society and employment were a huge burden weighing on my head..."

Yukinoshita Yukino took two steps forward and walked into the sunset, her skin dyed by the orange glow. She raised her head and said softly:

"There are things you can do in college, right? You can go to class together, go for a walk and look at the stars together at night, and study together in the library before exams... or I can like you and you can like me."

Yukinoshita stopped talking. She saw Qingye staring at her with strange eyes.

Kiyono mused, "Could it be that Yukinoshita-san is expecting this?"

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up the pillow on the sofa and covered the lower half of her face, and a slightly soft and cute voice came from the pillow.

“…Go to hell.”

The two of them interacted as usual for a while. Yukinoshita Yukino drank a sip of tea as if nothing had happened. Then, she looked at the clothes scattered on the sofa, frowned, and picked them up with her fingertips with an almost disgusted look.

"How did you manage to mess up the room like this while I was away for a day?"

It's not dirty or sloppy, it's just too casual.

Qingye defended himself: "Well... this is still my house for the time being."

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed, stood up and walked to the washing machine, picked up the laundry basket, and put the clothes he threw on the sofa neatly into it one by one.

Looking at this girl, Qingye's heart moved.

She cleverly tied her long hair into a bun and then put it up, with a serious profile. Although she was still as cool as ever, her dress and movements inexplicably gave her a touch of worldliness.

How should I put it? Was it because they were now admitted to university and living together far away from home? He always felt that the atmosphere emanating from Yukinoshita was different from usual, exuding a sense of sensation and moving...

He always couldn't help but keep his eyes on Yukinoshita, and his gaze was filled with lust.

Kiyono was shocked by this discovery. They had only moved to Tokyo for less than two days! If this continued...

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to sense something, tilted her head, and met Kiyono's eyes.

…She inexplicably felt her heartbeat quicken and her breathing become a little rapid.

Ok, so strange, why does the air feel so sweet? My head is a little confused, and my body is a little hot. Is he trying to do something intimate?

Volume 1: Your Life with Yukinoshita (Complete) [10-in-1]

It’s all because of my mother saying some weird things!

Yukinoshita's cold eyes couldn't help but turn pink. Qingye didn't dare to look at her face anymore, and the room fell into a charming silence.

After a long while, Yukinoshita regained her composure and said coldly:

"Qingye-kun, please bring me the laundry detergent I bought."

"it is good!"

"Take the dinner ingredients to the kitchen, and put what needs to be in the refrigerator in the refrigerator."

"it is good!"

"Give me the gloves too. Please hold them in your mouth."

"Ouch—do you take me for a dog?"

I think you are just taking revenge for what you did just now!

Yukinoshita Yukino watched Kiyono hand over the things one by one, her eyes gentle, the kind of gentleness that a master would give to a dog.

She touched Qingye's head, and glittering angel wings seemed to emerge from behind her, and her voice was soft.

"You're so good, I'll give you some ribs as a reward tonight."

*

After dinner, Yukinoshita Yukino opened the door, closed it, and returned to the next room with a vigilant look on her face - although she stayed in Kiyono's house most of the night, she was still determined to sleep in her own bedroom!

—It didn't really make any sense, since he also had the key to Yukinoshita's room.

Qingye didn't care. After cleaning up the dining table and dishes, he lay on the bed and browsed his phone.

At this moment, the phone vibrated a few times. It was a message from Yukinoshita Yukino.

[The leftover food is on the second shelf of the refrigerator. If you get hungry at night, remember to heat it up. If you are still alive, please reply.]

【receive. 】

[Yukinoshita Yukino: But it's best not to stay up late at night, otherwise it will affect the function of the frontal lobe of the brain, which means you will become stupid, okay?]

Huh? So this is a roundabout way of showing concern for me?

Qingye smiled and continued texting.

"I've become stupid, can you support me, Yukinoshita-sama? By the way, what do you think of the University of Tokyo?"

Messages are quickly displayed as read and replied.

Yukinoshita Yukino: It's pretty much what I thought it was. The cherry blossoms in Akamon are beautiful, there are lots of activities, and the professors are very friendly.

Looking at this message, Kiyono remembered the day he and Yukinoshita Yukino crossed the Akamon Gate together. She had said with a serious face, "The history of the University of Tokyo dates back to the Meiji period. Its predecessors were the Tokyo Kaisei School and the Tokyo Medical School. Even further back, there was the 'Tenmon-no-Hō' during the shogunate period..." Every time they reached a landmark, she would recount its history. For example, when they passed Sanshiro Pond, she would say that this was where literary masters Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Soseki Natsume, and Yasunari Kawabata stopped, and asked, "Can you add your name after them in the future?" He had replied proudly, "I want to be at the front, the most beautiful one." Another example was when they walked past Ginkgo Avenue, she said she looked forward to the golden ginkgo trees blooming in autumn. After trying the food in the cafeteria, they decided to cook their own meals for the next four years.

Qingye lay on the bed, turned sideways, and looked at the wall on the other side. It seemed as if his sight was seeing through this layer of space and looking at the girl together.

He suddenly understood that Yukinoshita was actually looking forward to going to university in Tokyo and was very excited. After all, this was the country's highest institution of learning, and it was also her first time living so far away from home. It was just that this girl's personality was too awkward and too insincere, so only like now, separated by a wall and a mobile phone, would she quietly reveal a little bit of her inner emotions.

What do you think of Tokyo?

Yukinoshita Yukino: Tokyo is so incredibly crowded and busy. Everyone's cramming into the subways, and even stray cats are acting like normal people. Today, I saw a stray cat scurry into a trash can in the alley behind a convenience store and rip through the plastic container of its leftover lunchbox with its claws. It felt like it was trying to catch a train.

A long paragraph of text came quickly.

As expected, Yukinoshita wanted to talk to him...

Wait, this means that Yukinoshita was not concerned about herself just now, she just found a suitable reason to change the topic to this aspect!

A thousand layers of thoughts under the snow.

But at least there will be some concern! Absolutely!

Qingye smiled:

[The description of wild cat is too specific.]

As if she realized that her attitude was too hasty, this time Yukinoshita Yukino did not reply directly, and did not even show that the message was read. He could fully imagine Yukinoshita blushing as she put her phone on the bed, trying hard not to pay attention to it, but couldn't help but pick it up to take a peek, and then quickly put it back.

A full five minutes passed before the text message finally arrived.

Yukinoshita Yukino: The University of Tokyo is a great place, but I don't think I'm suited to Tokyo.

[Qingye: Is this how a country girl feels?]

Yukinoshita Yukino: What about you? After graduation, do you want to stay in Tokyo or Chiba?
