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

——Who this man chose to stand by and what kind of attitude towards life he chose.

From then on, Kiyono and her sister established a closer relationship. They would spend their lives together, see the same things, notice the same things, smile together, scold together, and spend every day together, which was ordinary but worth cherishing for a lifetime.

Even though she knew that the life here was not real, even though she knew that they could choose a different future in the future, she could not control her inner feelings.

Ah, maybe this feeling is just pure loneliness.

Her sister's voice brought her back to reality.

"I've been wanting to ask you this since a while ago..."

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes stayed on her, and after a pause, she said in a strange tone, "Sister, why are you dressed like this?"

At this time, Yukinoshita Haruno was shaking a goblet in her hand, and there was bright red wine in the quilt, which she was shaking gently. She was wearing a burgundy one-sided off-shoulder top that was as smooth as silk. One side of her collarbone and chest was boldly exposed, and her white belly was faintly visible.

A long bow hangs from the left side of the black dress as decoration, and the high slit reaches the thigh, revealing long and beautiful legs.

The golden bracelets and earrings sparkled, reflecting the light, and even her red lips looked more beautiful and attractive than usual.

Although the heating is on indoors and it's not cold at all, there's no need to dress like this... Especially when Yukinoshita Yukino thought about seeing this scene when Kiyono returned home alone, the strange feeling in her heart became even stronger.

Qingye also raised his eyebrows with a strange look in his eyes.

"Alas, even a thirty-year-old woman wants to dress up occasionally. After all, if she doesn't show off her charm, she'll soon become an old woman."

Yukinoshita Haruno took a sip of wine, a melancholy look on her face, and her response was as impeccable as ever.

"Correction, you are already an old woman."

Yukinoshita Yukino gave her sister a ruthless blow, sat on the sofa opposite her, and prepared to make a cup of hot tea.

Seeing Yukino's actions, Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes moved, and she showed a bright smile. She calmly moved to her sister's side, interrupting her making tea, then took out the sake and cup that had been prepared long ago, and filled them for her with a smile.

"As a commemoration of this life, come and have a drink with me."

——When she grew up, Yukinoshita Yukino would occasionally drink some low-alcohol sake and sweet wine. After all, this job was really depressing.

A commemoration?... Yukinoshita Yukino looked up at Kiyono, not knowing whether this touched her or if there was some other reason, she sighed helplessly.

"You can only drink one cup."

Yukinoshita Haruno waved, "Kiyono-kun is here too."

"I don't know how to drink." Qingye frowned like a pure girl who had just entered a big city.

Yukinoshita Haruno snorted, "Even if you don't know how to drink, you have to come!"

Three people, three glasses of wine.

They no longer fantasize about the future like they did in high school, but instead reminisce about the past.

Yang Nai quietly savored the unique taste of the alcohol, as if memories of the past were evoked. Looking at his sister, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Yukino has already graduated from college for so long."

Whether it was things that happened in college or high school, it seems like it was just yesterday. Should we say it’s because their faces haven’t changed much, or is it because there’s a long blank period of time in between? In short, the feeling that life is flying by is really touching.

Yukinoshita Yukino took a sip of wine silently, and couldn't help but recall the past. In this country, all children are taught that minors cannot drink alcohol. She strictly abides by the rules and regards alcohol as a disaster.

Her first experience with alcohol was on her birthday, the day she came of age. Her sister kept urging her to try a sip of sake. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either. It wasn't as spicy as she'd imagined, nor was it as delicious as she'd imagined. It was just a bit of a novelty...

——Wait, why does this taste weird?

The alcohol flowed down her throat, and Yukinoshita Yukino's fair face flushed a little. She was a little surprised. She remembered that the sake she kept at home was not that...

"Does Yukino still like this job?"

Yukinoshita Haruno asked again in a vague tone. She shook the empty bottle and poured another glass of red wine.

"I wouldn't say I like it, but I can feel myself moving forward...even though half of the work is left to that guy."

Her sister's words touched her heart again. Yukinoshita Yukino smiled half at herself and half at herself, and subconsciously took another sip of wine.

Eh, you feel a little dizzy?

"so good."

——Yukinoshita Haruno just sighed like this.

There are so many explanations for this sentence. It's about not being able to find something you like, sighing when a confused person looks at someone who is determined, and being envious of someone who supports you firmly...

——Ten years later, they were still drinking together at night, talking about their seventeen-year-old selves. This atmosphere made Yukinoshita Yukino feel a little sad, and guilty towards her sister. Naturally, she ignored some small details and drank the remaining sake bit by bit.

His eyes became blurry.

My body is somewhat out of control.

Half asleep and half awake, she murmured, "Sister..."

Then, Yukinoshita Yukino stopped talking. Unable to resist the sleepiness, she lay down on the sofa and closed her eyes.

Qingye looked at her and felt a little strange.

Yukino's alcohol tolerance shouldn't be that bad...

"Qingye, she's asleep."

Qingye was stunned. This sentence was too familiar and instantly reminded him of something.

Yukinoshita Haruno gently covered her sister with a blanket, then turned off the lights in the living room, leaving only a table lamp on, and stood in front of him, looking down at him.

The dimly illuminated body in the darkness is breathtakingly beautiful.

Qingye raised his head and saw Yukinoshita Haruno's bright eyes, and swallowed unconsciously.

He already understood everything, this woman did it on purpose!

Before he could react——

He suddenly fell on the sofa, and Yukinoshita Haruno almost pressed her whole body on him, her chest pressing against his chest, her thighs intertwined with his. He couldn't tell whose heartbeat was thumping, and the charming fragrance enveloped him. Only then did he realize that Haruno had just taken a shower.

The sofa cushion sank under the weight of the two people.

Yukinoshita Haruno, who was on top of him, held his shoulders and sat up.

"I regret."

——A faint voice came out from those red lips.

"What do you regret?" Qingye felt his voice was a little dry, and he turned his head subconsciously, but happened to see the sleeping face of Yukinoshita Yukino across the sofa, and an inexplicable sense of guilt emerged in his heart.

"If I hadn't so willfully thrown the job to Yukino, she wouldn't have thought about changing herself, and you wouldn't be tied down in our house... You should have had a brighter future."

If... she imagined that if she took over the work at home, she would be able to handle everything more easily. Although Qingye would also assist her, no time would be wasted. In fact, this is the most reasonable combination, right?

Yukinoshita Haruno sat astride him, touching his cheek with one hand. There was no special movement, but Qingye still didn't dare to move.

But... she seemed to be talking about serious matters. Qingye breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her face. He could see her guilt from Yangno's voice and expression.

Should I say they are worthy of being sisters? In some ways they are exactly the same.

"Didn't I tell you that with me here, you can do what you like and decide your own future. You must keep going forward with determination." Qingye looked into her eyes.

"But there must be a better way."

A way for us all to achieve happiness.

Yukinoshita Haruno's gentle voice caressed his ears.

The black skirt slid up, revealing her snow-white thighs.

There was a long silence, and the soft and even breathing of Yukinoshita Yukino could be clearly heard from the opposite side.

"Almost..."

Qingye's breathing suddenly stopped, and a tingling sensation ran through his body. He felt Yukinoshita Haruno move her thigh, warm and soft.

Yukinoshita Haruno stared down at him, staring at this brother whom she had watched grow up since childhood, from being reserved and cautious to being strong and cheerful, from being ignorant and immature to being mature and reserved. She exhaled softly, without saying a word, her body filled with the fragrance of wine, she just looked at him, her eyes flickering.

"Don't move! Yukino is still watching..."

"Isn't this better?"

As if she heard some noise, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was sitting opposite the sofa, opened her eyes in a daze. In her hazy and dark vision, she saw her sister riding on that person and bending over.

There was also a faint sound coming.

"Hehe, you've been staring at this place since a while ago. You must have been abused by Yukino for too long, poor Kiyono-kun."

"I do not have……"

It's a dream.

"Hmph, you act like you're reluctant, but you're actually pretty happy, right? You're eating rice bowls and stuff."

"Well……"

The sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

Yukinoshita Yukino held her heavy eyelids open.

A nasty dream.

"Give me a kiss and I won't tease you anymore."

"..."

Breathing.

"Kiss again..."

Nasal sounds and heavy breathing.

The drowsy Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, unable to resist the sleepiness, and closed her eyes.

What a nasty dream...

*

A man was standing outside the door of the building under the snow. He was wearing a light blue plaid scarf, his hair was naturally scattered on his forehead, and there was a paper bag on the ground beside him. He had a tough and heroic face, which was enough to make the young woman blush and hand over her contact information.

At this moment, the man was facing the camera of his mobile phone with a smug look on his face.

"Well, as expected of me, I'm still so handsome at thirty!"

At this time, the door opened. Qingye saw through the camera that a cold woman with long black hair walked out. He put away his mobile phone and waved with a smile.

"Today is your birthday, why are you still so late after get off work?"

——To be precise, it was her 30th birthday, but Yukinoshita Yukino's appearance had not changed at all, as if time had stopped for her. It would be a bit of a stretch to call her a high school student, but calling her a college student was just right.

Well, she is worthy of being Yukinoshita, she is still so beautiful at the age of thirty!

"There's nothing special to do." Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Kiyono's reddened hands from the cold, her eyes gradually softening: "Why don't you come into the company and call me?"

"Well... does waiting outside like this make you feel more like home?" Qingye smiled.

“Is this the great writer’s unique understanding of atmosphere?”

Yukinoshita Yukino teased and took the initiative to take a step forward. Kiyono took her bag, picked up the paper bag, and followed her. They both tacitly did not call a driver and just strolled on the street.

The winter sunset seems to be warmth that can be held in the palm of your hand, casting a layer of golden glow on the city. Their figures are almost stuck together, walking on the road bathed in warm light. The buildings beside the road remain the same. Parents hold their children's hands and go home after work. There are children playing games with fire, and the old grandfather next to them will educate them with a stern face. The cute yellow dog squats on the ground waiting.

Chiba is a very warm place. It is an agricultural city. It has both the fulfillment of Tokyo and the simplicity and cleanliness of the countryside. Most of the neighbors are familiar to each other, and you will meet your friends' mothers in the supermarket. The city's construction has hardly changed over the years. The buildings are still there, and the music of the old shops is still there. It seems that a balance has been found here. Time flows very slowly, allowing people to look back to the past from the present, but also look forward to the future.

"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Yukinoshita Yukino's voice was also very gentle, like warm snow.

"Mother will cook for you today. There are shrimp, fish, soup, stew, and cake. Yang Nai will also help. I'm sure they are all your favorites. However, Yang Nai will secretly add things like chili and mustard as a mischief, so you have to be careful."

"Today a white cat came into my office. No matter if I touched its head, circled around it, or squatted beside it and meowed, it didn't react. It just looked at me intently, wagging its tail occasionally. It felt amazing."

"If it's a male cat, please take it to be sterilized immediately... Speaking of which, today when I was watering the flowers in the yard, I blocked the water pipe with my finger, leaving a small gap, and pointed the water towards the sky, and I just saw a rainbow."

"Are you a primary school student?"

On the way home, the two chatted about the most ordinary topics, such as what they wanted to eat in the evening, what happened today, and seeing the flowers blooming in the cold winter, they would sigh that they were so beautiful. Just sharing the small details of life made them feel extremely happy.

She must be happy now. Her relationship with her family is getting better and better. She is loved by her family. She has goals she wants to achieve. She goes home with this person and goes home normally... It would be great if times like this could last forever.

She likes this kind of life, this kind of life, and this kind of happiness, so, so——

In the future of another world, she will definitely find this person and pursue greater happiness.

Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously slowed down her pace.

As they chatted, Qingye slowed down his pace until he stopped completely. Chiba, the old driver, looked at the surrounding scenery, pinched his chin, and fell into deep thought.

"Ms. Yukinoshita? This doesn't look like the way home."
