Their relationship is completely innocent, how could my sister possibly misunderstand?
There was no misunderstanding.
Seeing her younger sister's candor, Yukinoshita Haruno immediately guessed the cause and effect.
"Lin Qianshu will help you develop a training plan and supervise your practice, and in return, you, Xue Nai, will provide him with meals."
"Yes."
"In that case, why don't I, your older sister, cook?" Yang Nai suddenly became interested and, without waiting for the other two to answer, went to the kitchen area, opened the refrigerator, and began selecting the ingredients for tonight's meal.
Looking at Yang Nai busy in the kitchen, Lin Qianshu asked curiously, "Your sister can cook too?"
"She's a little better than me," Yukino told the truth.
As the larger version of Yukino, Haruno Yukinoshita is also skilled in cooking, and her dishes even taste better than Yukino's.
Upon hearing Yukino's words, Lin Qianshu was immediately filled with respect. In his opinion, Yukino's cooking was already delicious enough, but he never expected there to be such a master.
Moreover, this expert is none other than the seemingly unreliable Yukinoshita Haruno. It's hard to imagine what kind of person the mother who could raise these two sisters is.
Before Lin Qianshu could even ask the question, Yukino Yukinoshita said, "I'll go help," and then joined the cooking team.
The two sisters worked together and quickly prepared the dish, which was then served on the table.
The three sat in three different directions, with Lin Qianshu and Yukino facing each other, while Yang Nai sat in the main seat between the two.
Yukino Yukinoshita wasn't lying; Haruno's cooking was indeed better than Yukino's in terms of both cooking time and seasoning. However, for some reason, Chiki Hayashi still preferred Yukino's cooking.
As for Haruno's cooking... well, the overall flavor is definitely better than Yukino's, but it always feels like something's missing, and it's a bit too formulaic.
Of course, it's also possible that Lin Qianshu has gotten used to Yukino's cooking these past few days, so eating someone else's food all of a sudden feels a bit strange.
At the dinner table, Yang Nai brought up the banquet for tomorrow once again.
"Are you really not going back?"
"Having an older sister should be enough, right?"
When Yukino Yukinoshita uttered those words, Chiki Hayashi keenly sensed that the two sisters' emotions fluctuated violently at the same time.
I can understand Yukino, but what's with Haruno?
Sensing something big was brewing, Lin Qianshu calmly activated the "Blinding the Leaf" skill, intending to hide himself and wait and see if the two sisters would reveal more useful information to him, which might include key clues to their golden commission.
As expected, after Lin Qianshu activated his "One Leaf Blocks the View" technique, Yukino and Haruno seemed to have completely forgotten that Lin Qianshu was present, and continued their conversation without any pause.
"If I were really to go, it wouldn't be my sister who's here now, but my mother, wouldn't it?"
Chapter 104 I was tricked by the system
The dinner at Yukinoshita's house was delicious, but even more delicious than the food was their gossip.
Lin Qianshu, like a mouse that has just gotten its food, eavesdropped on the two sisters' conversation through a veil of ignorance, and from the snippets of their conversation, he was able to glimpse the darkness of the Yukinoshita family.
Okay, actually it's not that dark.
Although it was only a few words, combined with the information Lin Qianshu already had, he was able to analyze the general situation.
First, we need to talk about the power structure of the Yukinoshita family. Yukinoshita's mother, or Yukinoshita's mother for short, is the highest power holder in the family, standing at the top of the family's power. Although Yukinoshita's father is a prefectural councilor and the president of the family's construction company, he plays more of a symbolic role and is Yukinoshita's mother's spokesperson to the outside world.
Commonly known as a mascot.
Yukino Yukinoshita, the older sister, is the family heir designated by Yukinoshita's mother. It is evident from her words and actions that Yukino received elite education from Yukinoshita's mother from a young age. Although she is still in university, she has begun to gradually get involved in family affairs and connections, preparing for the future inheritance of the family.
As for her younger sister Yukino Yukinoshita, since she was not the heir to the family, her mother adopted a laissez-faire approach to her upbringing, which can be seen from the fact that she was able to run away and live on her own.
Of course, while she was free-range, Yukino's mother's 'lenient' requirements for Yukino were based on the premise that she must conform to the image of a 'good girl' in her mind.
Yukino may not be as outstanding as Haruno, but she cannot turn bad. Firstly, it is out of a mother's duty, and secondly, it is to avoid disgracing the Yukinoshita family. After all, the core members of the Yukinoshita family in this generation are the two sisters, Yukino and Haruno. Although Yukino will not inherit the family in the future, she still symbolizes the face of the Yukinoshita family.
Therefore, it can be inferred that the family status of each member of the Yukinoshita family is roughly as follows: Yukinoshita's mother (Yukinoshita's father) > Haruno > Yukinoshita > Yukinoshita's father.
As for why Snow Mother is followed by Snow Father in parentheses, it's because when Snow Mother supports Snow Father, his status in the family will be elevated to an epic level. Conversely, if the two disagree, Snow Father's status in the family will plummet to the very bottom.
The reason why Haruno and Yukino experienced such intense emotional fluctuations over the question of whether or not to go back was largely due to the differential parenting style of Yukino's mother.
Simply put, Haruno envies her younger sister's freedom to choose her own life. As the eldest daughter of the family, she has no choice since birth. Yukino, on the other hand, admires her powerful older sister and hopes to gain her mother's approval like her sister. The two sisters are jealous of each other, hate each other, but also deeply love each other.
After figuring out the situation, Lin Qianshu finally understood why simply going back for a meal could cause such a huge disagreement between the two women.
It's somewhat understandable why Yang Nai developed her current personality.
If Yukino Yukinoshita is a cold and aloof cat who is not good at expressing herself, then Haruno is undoubtedly a lion forcibly lifted up by responsibility and hope.
Seemingly cheerful and strong, but actually lacking any sense of self.
It is a complete fake.
This is somewhat similar to Hayama... No, although there are some similarities, Hayama is like the difference between a child and an adult, they are not even in the same league.
It's clear that Yang Nai isn't someone Lin Qianshu can easily sway with just a few words. The probing during their previous conversation was obviously misdirected. What Yang Nai needs right now is redemption, not a friend who can truly understand her.
It can give her the redemption of 'self'.
Only by doing this can the other person truly reveal their inner self to others.
Lin Qianshu guessed that Yang Nai's request for the golden power of her wish was probably related to this.
As for Yukino's request for the golden power of her will, to be honest, Lin Qianshu still has no clue. However, one thing is certain: it is inextricably linked to Yukino's mother and Haruno.
No, this system feels like a GalGame. To get rewards, you have to complete tasks. To complete tasks, you have to accept them. To accept tasks, you have to increase the target's favorability. After completing tasks, the target is basically won over. Even the target itself can be considered a reward.
The case is solved. He might be 1% responsible for his womanizing ways, but the remaining 99% should be attributed to the system.
The system instructed him to do so.
Alas, I was tricked by the system.
Now that the current situation has been clarified, Lin Qianshu is no longer worried that he will not be given any more tasks after this settlement.
Although Yang Nai herself lacks a 'self,' she can entrust this vision to her younger sister. She longs for her sister to break free from dependence and have a true self, and the specific manifestation of this vision is Lin Qianshu's purple wish power entrustment.
Therefore, Lin Qianshu can reasonably deduce that the reason why this commission was suddenly settled was largely because Yang Nai saw the change in Yukino.
After all, in the past, Yukino's only rival was Haruno. Now, with the addition of Hayashi Chiki, isn't this change a manifestation of Yukino's 'self'?
Right, all right.
Therefore, as long as Lin Qianshu maintains a friendly relationship with Yukino Yukinoshita, then Haruno will have no way to avoid him.
This wave, this wave is called "using snow to command the sun".
Yukino Yukinoshita, you can't escape. (Gravity unfolds)
Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Lin Qianshu stopped using the "One Leaf Blinds the Eyes" technique at the right time, and took this opportunity to test what the reaction would be.
There was no reaction whatsoever.
After stopping using the "one leaf to block the view" technique, Yukino Yukinoshita and Haruno both easily noticed Lin Qianshu's presence. Their earlier discussion of family matters in front of Lin Qianshu was also taken as an unconscious lapse in composure caused by their emotional excitement.
For this reason, both Yukino and Haruno apologized to Hayashi Chiki.
By eavesdropping on the conversation, they not only came up with a plausible excuse, but even apologized to themselves.
Lin Qianshu realized that the "one leaf before the eyes" technique was far more powerful than he had imagined, especially if he activated it at the same time...
Stop, stop, I said stop.
Lin Qianshu felt he couldn't think about it any further; if he did, the outer world would directly transform into the inner world.
After dinner, Lin Qianshu said goodbye.
Yang Nai also left Yukino's house with Lin Qianshu, but she did not go directly back to Yukino's house. Instead, she took the opportunity to ask to visit Lin Qianshu's house.
She finally understood that regardless of whether she asked Lin Qianshu for help or not, he would eventually get involved with Yukino, especially since Yukino clearly showed a special attitude towards Lin Qianshu.
Since that's the case, it's better to guide the other party; that way, at least we can keep the situation under control and prevent things from developing in the worst possible direction...
Chapter 105 Yang Nai has issued a new commission, please check your inbox.
—Lin Qianshu's Home—
As Yang Nai looked around Lin Qianshu's living room, she asked, "How does my cooking compare to Yukino's?"
"Each one has his own merits."
Lin Qianshu answered impartially, while preparing tea for him.
When someone comes to your home as a guest, you should definitely entertain them, especially since Yang Nai is his client, the kind who shines with gold.
Since the other party followed me home, they must have something to say, and that thing is most likely related to the upcoming purple wish power request.
“I actually think Yukino’s is a little better than mine,” Haruno said.
Admittedly, she might have a better taste, but in reality, Haruno prefers Yukino's cooking. Perhaps it's psychological, but Haruno always feels that Yukino's dishes have more soul than hers.
"What a coincidence, Yukino thinks you did a better job than her," Lin Qianshu said with a shrug.
"Really? I'll have to ask her in person next time."
"She certainly wouldn't say that to your face."
“That’s true. After all, Yukino has never been a very frank child. But from this perspective, she seems to trust you more than I, her older sister,” Haruno said with a hint of jealousy.
"That's because Yukino's impression of Yang Nai has always been that she's not very reliable," Lin Qianshu complained.
"Huh? I thought I was always the kind of mature older sister figure in your eyes."
"It should be the devilish older sister, right?"
"It's too much..."
Lin Qianshu knew very well that the woman in front of him was deliberately playing the victim, but even though he knew she was faking it, he had to admit that her current appearance was indeed very likely to arouse a woman's protective instincts, giving off a feeling of pity.
Thinking this, Lin Qianshu brought the handmade pastries stored in the refrigerator to Yang Nai.
"Did you make this?" Yang asked curiously, picking up a cookie.
Lin Qianshu smiled and replied, "Your sister made it."
Yukinoshita Yono:......
Although she knew that the two had a special relationship, she never expected that her younger sister would make desserts for Lin Qianshu.
Making desserts for Lin Qianshu and inviting Lin Qianshu to your home for dinner have completely different meanings.
If things continue like this, will the next step be to bring lunchboxes for Lin Qianshu?
What kind of virtuous and gentle girlfriend?
It's only been a short time, is my sister really that easy to handle?
Hino angrily threw the cookie into her mouth, and after tasting it carefully, she realized that it really was made by Yukino!
"You two really have a good relationship!" Yang Nai said meaningfully.
"It's alright. I bet Yukino-nee often receives sweets made by Yukino, since we're sisters after all," Lin Qianshu said with a smile.
Yukinoshita Haruno replied with a forced smile, "Yes, I receive them often."
This is a lie. Normally, she can only taste Yukino's sweets if she happens to run into her making sweets and then shamelessly asks for them.
As for Yukino making something especially for her... that would probably only happen on her birthday or other special occasions like New Year's.
In contrast, Lin Qianshu not only gets to eat it often, but also has enough left over to store in the refrigerator and use to entertain guests.
Damn it, is this what they call "being near the water tower and getting the moon first"?
It must be because of the neighbors living upstairs and downstairs. Whenever Yukino makes sweets, she always makes extra for Hayashi Chiki. It's definitely not something she makes specifically for Hayashi Chiki.
That's right! That's it!
After some self-consolation, Yang Nai became even more certain of Lin Qianshu's necessity and raised the level of importance she placed on him to a new level.
"Speaking of which, I haven't properly apologized for that car accident yet," Yang Nai suddenly brought up the accident.
"That matter? Yukino has already apologized to me. Besides, it wasn't your fault. Moreover, Yukino's family has already provided compensation, and even the driver has been fired, right?" Lin Qianshu waved his hand.
“That being said, we were strangers before, but now that we’re familiar with each other, we’ll definitely have to show our appreciation.” Yang Nai said, looking down and rummaging through his bag to find two tickets, which he handed to Lin Qianshu.
"These are tickets for the Chiba Zoo anniversary celebration. I've been busy with family matters lately, so I don't think I'll be able to go with Yukino. That's why I'm asking you to help me." Haruno was quite professional when it came to helping out.
Lin Qianshu took the ticket and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why didn't you just say so earlier?"
