“The meter shows about six kilometers,” Yukino replied.
Running on a treadmill is quite different from running on a track. Although you may run a lot on a treadmill, you actually burn more energy for the same distance. Therefore, the distance displayed on the treadmill should be discounted.
Normally, a 10% discount is about right.
So Yukino Yukinoshita's mission today can be considered accomplished, after all, physical training cannot be achieved overnight.
"Pretty professional, huh?" Yang Nai teased, somewhat believing Yukino's offer to help with the training.
Lin Qianshu waved his hand and said, "It's just normal training."
His main focus is companionship. As for physical fitness, the more you train and the better you eat, the better. If you really want to be picky, it's best to choose sports that are less harmful to your body.
As for why you don't run outside but instead run on a treadmill, it's naturally because treadmills have cushioning, which is gentler on the knees.
Of course, if you don't mind the trouble, swimming is actually the least harmful to your body. Unfortunately, when Lin Qianshu suggested it, Yukino not only didn't agree, but also treated him like a thief.
Not recognizing a kind heart!
Chapter 102 Everyone Has It, Yet No One Has It
Due to Yukino's unexpected arrival, today's physical training plan was brought to an early end.
"Why did you suddenly decide to train your physical fitness?"
Yukino glanced in the direction of the bathroom and, while her younger sister was taking a shower, asked Hayashi Chiki about her doubts.
You could have asked Yukino directly, but Haruno felt that it must be related to Lin Qianshu, so she simply asked Lin Qianshu directly.
"Because you don't want to lose to me?" Lin Qianshu answered with a question.
"I don't want to lose to you... Are you guys having a match?" Yang Nai asked thoughtfully.
"In tennis, as long as I can beat Yukino before the end of this semester, that's a victory, and vice versa."
Is punishment a way to gain control over the other person?
"...It sounds a bit strange when you put it that way, but that's roughly the idea."
Yukino Yukinoshita showed a knowing expression, then leaned back on the soft sofa, crossed her legs, and crossed her arms over her chest. Her dark blue jeans outlined her firm curves, and her dark black V-neck thin knit top highlighted her full breasts.
"It seems that Yukino is at a disadvantage right now?"
If she hadn't fallen into a disadvantageous position, Yukino wouldn't have been in such a hurry to make up for her weaknesses.
"Maybe." Lin Qianshu said without looking to the side.
It wasn't that he was particularly gentlemanly, but rather that his gaze was always fixed on Yang Nai, and he didn't need to look anywhere else.
"How did you manage to hook her?" Yang asked with great interest, seemingly certain that Lin Qianshu would win.
Lin Qianshu looked at Yang Nai with some confusion: "What do you mean by 'let her take the bait'? It's as if I set a trap to deliberately lure Yukino into it."
“Based on my understanding of you, you would never participate unless you were absolutely certain of winning,” Yang Nai analyzed, stroking his chin.
"You know me well? Yang Nai-jie, this is only our third meeting, isn't it?"
"As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and we've met three times already, so we're naturally very familiar with each other," Yukinoshita Haruno replied with a smile.
Then she leaned to the side, resting all her weight on Lin Qianshu's shoulder, and said in a deep and magnetic voice, "Besides... my living room isn't a place where just anyone can come in."
"Isn't this Yukino's house?"
"Wrong, this is Yukinoshita's house."
Yang regained his balance, crossed his arms, and refuted Lin Qianshu's erroneous viewpoint without hesitation.
Although only Yukino Yukinoshita lives here, it doesn't mean she can be independent of Yukino. As her older sister, Haruno knows that Yukino is far from being able to be independent. Therefore, this place can only be Yukinoshita's house, not Yukino's house.
"I see. So, what Yang Nai means is that I'm not qualified yet?" Lin Qianshu asked with interest.
Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. "No, you certainly deserve to sit here. In fact, it's Yukino's good fortune that you can be her friend."
"You think so highly of me?"
"Of course, Yukino has very high standards."
"I meant Sister Yang Nai."
"Me? My judgment is much worse. I can become friends with anyone."
"Everyone has it, and everyone lacks it."
"This kind of sophistry is not for flattering people. You should praise my excellent social skills. Boys who can't talk well will have a hard time winning over girls."
Yukinoshita nudged Hayashi Chiki's arm with her elbow, using a joke to avoid Hayashi Chiki's implied meaning.
If everyone can become your friend, then it means that no one can truly be your friend.
This is somewhat similar to Hayato Hayama's easygoing nature, except that Haruno Yukinoshita's philosophy of life is more extreme or... mature.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm bad with words and can't be Yang Nai's friend." Lin Qianshu said apologetically, but there was no real feeling of remorse in her voice.
It's like he says he's bad at talking, but actually he's not bad at talking at all; on the contrary, he's quick-witted, eloquent, and a smooth talker...
Saying that you can't be Haruno's friend is actually asking if you can be Haruno's true friend, the kind that's heartfelt.
Yukino Yukinoshita didn't respond, but continued, "Nonsense, even if you're bad at talking, you can still become my friend... so is my analysis correct?"
“Not entirely correct,” Lin Qianshu replied.
In fact, there is only one standard to judge whether he will take the stage: whether he can accept the consequences of failure. In other words, Lin Qianshu will not do anything beyond his capacity to bear the consequences.
Whether it's making a bet with Yukino or acquiring wish points, Lin Qianshu follows this logic.
"For me, even if I lose to Yukino, it's not unacceptable," Lin Qianshu said.
Yukinoshita smiled and added to the guy who was three years younger than her, "Because you've already achieved your goal since the bet started."
The bet itself wasn't the goal; it was the act of betting that Lin Qianshu truly desired.
For Yukino Yukinoshita, the difficulty is not in getting closer to her, but in how to establish a connection with her.
Friends are one kind of bond, and so are rivals. With so many such bonds, Yukino can't escape them.
Lin Qianshu, this cunning spider, keeps weaving a web of relationships in order to capture the butterfly named Yukino Yukinoshita.
“Sister Yang Nai really understands me,” Lin Qianshu admitted.
"After all, I wouldn't hand my sister over to a stranger." Yang Nai stretched and let out a satisfied yet thought-provoking sigh.
"Hmm~~~ So do you remember what we talked about before?"
Yukino asked if Chiki Hayashi had inquired about what had happened at Yukino Elementary School, as she had hinted to Yukino to do so during their last parting.
"Of course, I specifically consulted with Hayama about this."
"Hayama Hayato? That makes sense, you're in the same class. He's a good person to consult, but what happened?"
Although Lin Qianshu did not follow Yukino Yukinoshita's instructions to inquire about this matter with Yukino, she did not seem to be dissatisfied with it, but rather approved of Lin Qianshu's idea.
After all, for Yang Nai, the result is the only criterion for judgment, regardless of the process.
"The result is pretty much what I expected."
"That's very clever, so what are you planning to do?"
Yang offered a perfunctory compliment, then asked the question she cared about most, which was also the reason she revealed information about Yukino Yukinoshita's past to Lin Qianshu.
"Am I already doing it?" Lin Qianshu retorted.
In fact, Lin Qianshu didn't think that Yukino Yukinoshita needed him to do anything.
The trauma Yukino suffered during her elementary school years is irreversible. Any attempt to erase the scars would require reopening the wounds and then healing them again, but even so, new scars would inevitably remain.
Therefore, Lin Qianshu's choice was to let Yukino look to the future, using sweetness to overcome bitterness, so that she would naturally not dwell on the past.
—You may have lost your childhood, but you still have me for the future.
Chapter 103 Wow, there's a big surprise!
[Yukino's Advanced Test (Part 1)] (Settling in progress)
Request details: Your relationship with Yukino Yukinoshita... (See details below)
Note 1: Yukinoshita Haruno will change the way she contacts you based on your investigation results.
Note 2: This is a series of commissions. The completion status of each stage of the commission will affect the content and progress of subsequent commissions.
(Jin) Note 3: Yukino's gaze is always fixed on her younger sister, while she neglects herself. You might be able to do something about this.
As Yang Nai's wish request entered the settlement process, Lin Qianshu couldn't help but reach out and touch his chin.
Does this work too?
Lin Qianshu originally thought that Yukino Yukinoshita's request would only enter the settlement stage after Yukino gave specific feedback, but it seems that it is not necessary at present?
So it really was just an investigation task?
Wait, if we do it this way... will there still be any missions afterward?
However, the settlement has already begun, and it's too late to regret it now. Besides, this was a solution that Lin Qianshu had thought of long ago. He just didn't expect Yang Nai to settle the settlement before the treatment results were available.
They have absolutely no sense of martial ethics.
Compared to Lin Qianshu's dilemma, Yukino Yukinoshita was more focused on thinking about what Lin Qianshu had just said.
What do you mean by saying that it's already already started?
So, the way you're trying to help my sister get out of the shadow of past bullying, change her awkward personality, and move towards independence is to find a way to date her?
...The key point is that this guy might actually become my brother-in-law.
Yukino Yukinoshita knew very well that Yukino would never have invited a boy to her home alone before, let alone put on a tracksuit and work up a sweat in front of boys her own age.
All signs pointed to his sister falling for him.
But if you ask if it has any therapeutic effect? Yes, and the effect is significant.
For a moment, Yang Nai was unsure whether he should let Lin Qianshu continue.
It's said that the left brain and the right brain of a sister-complex are fighting each other.
Thus, the two, each harboring their own secrets, fell into silence. After taking a shower in the master bathroom, drying her hair, and changing into clean home clothes, Yukino Yukinoshita came out and saw the two in the living room behaving politely towards each other, neither of them speaking. She was a little confused for a moment.
Is this...a quarrel?
This was the first thought that popped into Yukino Yukinoshita's mind.
In her opinion, neither her sister nor Lin Qianshu were the type to speak their minds. However, the fact that neither of them was speaking and the living room was extremely quiet suggested that there was no other possibility than that the two had disagreed on something.
"Are you two perhaps putting on a silent film?" Yukino Yukinoshita broke the silence in the living room.
“No, I’m just thinking,” Lin Qianshu replied.
Lin Qianshu wondered if Yang Nai would continue to give him tasks, while Yang Nai wondered whether she should continue to give Lin Qianshu tasks.
In a sense, it can be considered that they are on the same wavelength.
"Did God laugh?"
How incredibly rude of Yukinoshita!
Lin Qianshu winked at Yang Nai, who was standing to the side, and said, "Go and take care of your sister."
Yukino pretended not to see it and asked, "Want to go out for dinner together later?"
Yukino didn't answer directly, but looked at Lin Qianshu instead.
Why are you looking at me? Do I have food on my face?
Sensing the rising negative emotions around her, Lin Qianshu coughed lightly and said, "It's rare for you sisters to get together, so I won't disturb you any longer. I'll be going now."
Unexpectedly, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly spoke up: "Wait, there's no need to go out to eat. Didn't we buy too much food this morning? Even if we add another sister, it should be enough."
"Morning? Us? Go grocery shopping?" Yukinoshita Haruno keenly caught the key words and looked at Lin Qianshu with a half-smile.
"Do you often go grocery shopping and cook together?"
"Nothing."
"In the last few days."
Lin Qianshu and Yukino Yukinoshita answered one after the other, and then Yukino showed a puzzled expression, as if asking Lin Qianshu what was so funny about it.
