"No need for a bet. After all, you didn't charge me when I asked you to help me practice tennis." Lin Qianshu wasn't the kind of person to take advantage of others.

When Yukino taught him, she taught him without reservation. Now that the other party needs her help, what would it be like to talk about payment?

Moreover, the reason for making the bet with Yukino Yukinoshita was to get closer to her so that he could accept the golden wish power request from her as soon as possible. As for winning or losing the bet... it didn't matter to Lin Qianshu at all.

Even if she loses in the end, does Yukinoshita really expect him to wear a maid outfit and act as a maid in front of her?

...It seems like this guy is really capable of doing it.

However, if he loses even with cheating, then he deserves to wear a maid outfit.

“That’s different…” Yukinoshita shook her head and said seriously, “You’re a complete beginner in tennis, so you’re already at a disadvantage by betting with me. I’m only teaching you tennis to be fair.”

"Even without the bet, if I ask you for help, do you really think you won't teach me?" Lin Qianshu didn't bother arguing with Yukino about these things and just asked a question.

"..."

"Moreover, physical training is something that can't be achieved in a day or two; it also depends on whether the person training can persevere."

"Who do you think I am?"

"Yes, yes, yes, because Yukinoshita-san often gives up halfway, resulting in poor physical fitness."

Yukinoshita Yukino:......

Faced with Lin Qianshu's teasing, Yukinoshita really couldn't refute it, because it was indeed true.

She has outstanding talents in all aspects. She learns everything very quickly from childhood to adulthood, which also leads to her not being able to master anything for long and often giving up halfway. She might have just mastered tennis and then run off to learn painting.

It's worth noting that besides playing tennis, Yukinoshita is also quite skilled in aikido. Logically speaking, someone who has mastered both of these skills should have physical abilities that are far superior to those of an average person, if not exceptionally good.

However, in reality, Yukinoshita's physical fitness is only about the same as that of an average girl. It's not too good, but it's not too bad either. It's just average. Compared to her other strengths, physical fitness is her only weakness.

Lin Qianshu felt that this was related to Yukino's usual habits. As Yukino's neighbor, Lin Qianshu knew that unless someone came to her, she would usually stay at home alone reading or watching movies.

Even when going out to buy groceries, I only buy a reasonable amount. If it's too heavy, I'll have the vendor deliver it to my door.

The only significant amount of exercise I get each day is probably cooking, and there's a dedicated dishwasher for washing dishes afterwards.

It can be said to be very energy-efficient.

"Besides, even if your physical fitness catches up, with my current rate of improvement, you might not be able to beat me. Don't end up losing both your wife and your army," Lin Qianshu teased.

Snow raised an eyebrow. Was she someone who couldn't accept defeat?

He immediately said, "If I still lose to you after that, I'll accept it."

"You'd even accept it if she wore a maid outfit?"

“...I admit it!” Yukinoshita gritted her teeth and said.

"They even recognize you when you take a picture?"

"Don't go too far!"

As if triggered by some keyword, Yukinoshita's beautiful eyes glared at Lin Qianshu, looking just like a panting kitten.

"Hmph, if you insist on using that bet to ask me for help, I have two conditions in mind." Lin Qianshu made a 'V' sign.

"You're acting like you've already won. Don't be so sure of yourself. With your current skill level, you're still a long way from being able to beat me!" Yukinoshita said in a deep voice, arms crossed.

After a moment's hesitation, she added, "How about I make you a week's worth of bento boxes to offset that condition?"

The implication was that he would exchange a week's worth of lunchboxes for Lin Qianshu's help, and incidentally settle the bet he had made earlier.

"A week..." Lin Qianshu stroked his chin, as if weighing the pros and cons.

"At most, two weeks." Yukinoshita couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to increase the amount.

"No, just one week, but there's one condition."

"any request?"

"Let's have lunch together."

Yukinoshita was taken aback by his words, then asked with a puzzled expression, "Haven't we been eating together these past few days?"

To be honest, if Lin Qianshu hadn't been able to sense emotions, he would have been completely fooled.

Seeing the blush emanating from the girl, Lin Qianshu didn't expose her, but continued to speak along with her words.

"Well, I mean, I'll leave the bento box with you for now, and you can give it to me when it's lunchtime."

"..."

"How about it?"

"understood."

Yukino looked at Lin Qianshu, who was smiling at her, and thought to herself that this guy was definitely doing it on purpose.

But she couldn't do anything about it. After all, if she said it wasn't appropriate, and the other person pressed her for details about what was inappropriate, how would she answer?

Will this cause others to misunderstand?

Yukinoshita was certain that if she really said that, given Lin Qianshu's shameless nature, he would definitely say: "We have nothing to hide, what could there be any misunderstanding?" Unless someone had something to hide.

Everyone knows what's going on!

Although Yukinoshita had never been in a relationship, she was by no means an innocent and naive girl, so she was vaguely aware of Lin Qianshu's feelings for her.

What? You're asking why I agreed to it if I already knew?

Then don't worry about it.

Chapter 101 Why are you panting so much?

"Hoo...hoo...hello?"

"Hello, hello, this is your older sister, Yukino. Tomorrow... why are you breathing so heavily?"

"I...phew...exercise."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Shino narrowed her eyes. Why had her younger sister suddenly started exercising? She knew Yukino well; usually, she preferred to spend her time reading literature rather than exercising.

"what's up?"

"My mom asked me to ask if you're coming to our family dinner party tomorrow."

"Guest...you're here, aren't you, sister?"

Yukino Yukinoshita slowed down the treadmill and walked slowly as she replied.

"But I haven't seen you, Yukino, for so long."

"Didn't we just see each other last week?"

"You said it was last week."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita sighed and glanced at Chiki Hayashi, who was sitting on the sofa.

When Lin Qianshu saw Xue Zhi looking over, he immediately sat up straight and put his headphones back on, pretending that he hadn't heard anything.

"I have something to do this week, so I won't be going back."

If it were truly an important guest, it certainly wouldn't be her own sister calling her.

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's likely that her mother is introducing her older sister to family connections so that her sister can smoothly inherit the family business in the future.

If that's the case, why should I even bother going?

“I see…” Yukino Yukinoshita drawled out, “Then open the door.”

"!!!"

Yukino Yukinoshita was startled, then her gaze suddenly turned to the door, and then to Lin Qianshu, who was sitting on the sofa eating fruit.

Taking a deep breath, Yukino Yukinoshita, clinging to a sliver of hope, went to the entrance and looked through the peephole.

Heart died.

My sister really was right at her own doorstep!

"Hello... hello, is Yukino there?"

Yukino's voice came from both the doorway and her phone at the same time, giving Yukino a headache.

There was no other way; the person was already at the door, and I couldn't very well say I wasn't home, could I?

As for how to explain Lin Qianshu's presence... whatever, I'm tired.

"Click."

The door opened, and Yukinoshita Haruno entered the house as if she knew the way well. Just as she was about to change her shoes, she noticed a pair of unfamiliar shoes in the entryway. Judging from the style... they were men's shoes.

Oh my~~~

A hint of amusement flashed in Yukino's eyes, while Yukino, noticing her sister's gaze, sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, Yang Nai then said, "We have guests at home?"

As she spoke, Yang Nai kept glancing towards the living room, as if searching for something.

“It’s Hayashi Chiki.” Yukino stopped Haruno’s pointless behavior, but didn’t struggle, and said calmly as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

“I guessed so.” Yang Nai knew her sister’s social circle very well. When it came to friends, especially male friends who could come into the house, there was probably no one else besides Lin Qianshu.

only……

Yukino Yukinoshita took a look at her younger sister's current clothes.

The light pink sports T-shirt clung to the girl's body because it was soaked with sweat, and her dark black sports bra was faintly visible underneath. She wore matching sports leggings that outlined her slender and shapely thighs, and a pair of new running shoes on her feet. They were clean and looked like they were for running at home.

Besides her clothes, her younger sister's current state was also quite intriguing. Her delicate face was wet with sweat, and even the ends of her hair on her forehead were stuck to it. Her cheeks were also flushed with two lovely rosy cheeks from the exercise.

Compared to her usual quiet demeanor, she now exudes a more sporty and youthful vibe. The charm created by this blend of two qualities is something even she, as the older sister, can sense.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yukino felt a little uneasy under Haruno's gaze and immediately turned and walked towards the living room.

When he arrived in the living room, he saw Lin Qianshu still pretending to be wearing headphones and looking at her phone, and he was so angry that he laughed.

She didn't believe Lin Qianshu hadn't heard her open the door.

"Stop looking at your phone, my sister is here," Yukino Yukinoshita said.

"Sister Yang Nai?"

"Hey hello~ Did I disturb you?"

"Don't say weird things!" Yukino Yukinoshita glared at her older sister, then explained, "I just asked him to help me train my physical fitness."

"Oh—it's Coach!"

Yukino Yukinoshita, very naturally friendly, sat down next to Hayashi Chiki, shoulder to shoulder, and whispered, "Impressive."

It hasn't been long, and he's already in the living room. And judging from Lin Qianshu's relaxed demeanor, he must be a repeat offender who has come here quite a few times.

What will happen in a few more days?

I'm afraid we'll have to do it in the bedroom.

I asked you to investigate what happened during Yukino Elementary School, but what I see as you investigating Yukino Elementary School is...

Sensing the wariness and vigilance emanating from Yang Nai, Lin Qianshu looked at the flawless smile on Yang Nai's face, which anyone would only see as a sign of her happiness.

I thought to myself, what our ancestors said about women being born actresses is absolutely true.

"What do you mean by that, Yukino-nee?" Lin Qianshu asked, puzzled. "What do you mean by 'you've already won over Yukino'?"

Yang Nai's expression changed, and she immediately made a husky-pointing face. Then she felt a cold gaze piercing her from behind.

Like a light on my back!

"Sister?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at her sister with a cold expression.

"Just kidding~"

Yang didn't explain that Lin Qianshu was deliberately trying to smear her, because she knew very well that Yukino wouldn't believe it.

Seeing that her younger sister preferred to believe outsiders rather than her, Yang Nai felt a pang of jealousy and her gaze towards Lin Qianshu became increasingly hostile.

"You just wait, kid," Yang Nai conveyed this message to Lin Qianshu with his eyes.

Lin Qianshu remained calm and composed, picked up the cup of red tea in front of him, took a sip, and acted as if he couldn't understand or hear anything.

He said to Yukino Yukinoshita, "How about we stop here for today? How many kilometers have we run already?"
