In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

"...Dad."

"!"

Minamoto Chiya quietly walked up behind him and suddenly spoke, startling Minamoto Sanada!

"Qian...Qianye, you're still awake so late?"

"I was asleep, but you woke me up."

"I'll be gentler later, you should go back to sleep."

Be gentle?

Yuan Qianye's expression became subtle.

Minamoto no Sanada belatedly realized that his words seemed ambiguous, and he immediately explained.

"This is my dad's friend. She drank too much tonight, and her home is quite far away. It's also hard to book a hotel outside today, so she's staying at our house tonight."

Over the years, Genji Sanada had long since grown accustomed to his son's precociousness and no longer felt that there was anything wrong with his way of talking to his son.

Yuan Qianye nodded, said nothing more, and turned to go back to his room.

He lay back in his warm bed and began to criticize himself.

You shouldn't have gone out to take a look without thinking about anything.

His father is in his prime and it hasn't been easy for him either. He once saw a DVD of "Tokyo is Hot" in his room.

This proves that he is a normal man with needs.

Tonight seemed like a good opportunity, but I ended up ruining it for him.

Now things are fine. Because of my interference, even if he had any ideas before, he doesn't dare to have any now.

What a tragedy...

Sure enough, my IQ is negative when I first wake up!

Before falling asleep in bed, Yuan Qianye didn't hear any strange noises again.

The next morning.

Yuan Qianye got up on time.

Minamoto Sanada was asleep on the living room sofa, still asleep.

As for the young woman, her shoes and bag were still in the entryway, so she clearly hadn't left yet.

There are only two rooms in the house where I can rest.

She's probably still resting in the master bedroom.

Gen Chiya prepared breakfast for three people.

After finishing my meal and getting ready to go to school, I thought about it and decided to give my dad a helping hand.

He went back to the kitchen, poured a glass of milk, and prepared to put it on the aunt's bedside.

That way, the first thing that aunt would do when she wakes up and sees this glass of milk is to subconsciously assume that it was poured for her by Comrade Sanada.

If you notice how gently and caring the other person is taking care of you, your affection for them might just skyrocket.

Yuan Qianye felt that there was nothing wrong with his line of thinking.

This can be considered making amends for his mistakes.

I messed things up this time, but maybe there will be another chance next time.

"Hello... Ah... Sorry, sorry, Mom drank too much last night and stayed at a friend's house. She forgot to call you..."

"..."

Yuan Qianye stood at the door of the master bedroom, silently withdrawing his outstretched hand.

Mother?

Do you have children?

Having children means having a partner, which means having a family.

Mrs./Wife...

They really are just friends!

Yuan Qianye instantly lost interest. He gulped down the milk and quietly returned the way he came.

Since the woman in front of me won't have the chance to be my stepmother, there's no need to deliberately try to please her.

Time flies.

As their third year drew to a close, Yukino Yukinoshita once again challenged Chiya Minamoto, just like always.

The result was predictable: Yukino suffered her third consecutive defeat.

Gen Chiya stated her victor's request: to have her perform the morning exercise dance she used to do in kindergarten.

Yukinoshita kept a straight face, neither refusing nor taking immediate action under the watchful eyes of him and Eriri.

Yuan Qianye knew that she couldn't overcome her sense of shame to do so many cute and adorable things now.

Having no other choice, he compromised and made a new request: that she delete all the unflattering photos of herself with missing teeth that she had taken on Christmas Eve.

This request undoubtedly relieved Yukino, who even agreed with unusual ease.

The following year.

Fourth grade.

Yukino Yukinoshita suffered her fourth consecutive defeat.

Fifth grade.

Yuan Qianli unlocked the achievement: Pentakill!

"Honestly, you should be a little more gentlemanly. I thought you'd have some manners, but would you be happy if you really made Yukino withdrawn?"

During the winter break after fifth grade, Yukinoshita Haruno, who was already in junior high school, took the initiative to invite Minamoto Chiya to a family restaurant.

"She's not that fragile." Yuan Qianye, who had now grown to 1.54 meters tall, was already pressing down on Ping Yangnai: "What do you want from me?"

“There is indeed something going on. You should have already noticed by now. Yukino has been attending English tutoring classes all these years. This is actually a preparation made by her family in advance for her to study abroad.”

Gen Chiyo thought of the English textbooks she had seen in Yukino's room earlier and wasn't surprised: "Yeah, they're pretty good."

“I specifically called you out, not to hear you say this.”

Yukinoshita gently stirred her drink, the ice cubes making a soft crackling sound as they hit the glass. She then asked the reason for their meeting.

"Hey, let me ask you, do you want to study abroad?"

…………

020: New Family Members

After Yukino asked the question, she was probably aware of her past behavior, so in order to convince Minamoto Chiya that she wasn't joking, she explained in detail before Minamoto Chiya could answer.

“My mother has a friend who is the chairperson of a school abroad. After graduating from elementary school, Yukino will go directly to her school to attend classes. This was decided a long time ago.”

I didn't intend to meddle, but Mom really likes you and is looking forward to your growth.

Her idea is that you, who are even more outstanding than Yukino, deserve better educational resources.

So if you're willing, my mom can help you with the procedures and quotas for studying abroad. Just like now, you can continue to study with Yukino, only in a different country.

As for the cost of studying abroad, you don't need to worry. As long as you can maintain your current excellent grades, the schools there will offer scholarships every year. In the end, compared to studying in China, it won't cost much more.

What do you think?

Yukinoshita Haruno clearly came prepared, delivering such a long and eloquent speech without pausing.

Yuan Qianye knew that this suggestion was undoubtedly a good choice for him.

And the kindness of the Yukinoshita family.

Perhaps it was because of his long-standing friendship with Yukino Yukinoshita.

Or perhaps they see that they are indeed capable enough, and they can't bear to see their talents go to waste, so they want to help themselves as much as they can.

He appreciated the good intentions, though.

But studying abroad was definitely not in his life plan.

Yuan Qianye said sincerely, "Thank you, Yang Nai-jie, and please thank Auntie for me too."

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Haruno understood what he meant.

This is a polite refusal.

Although, based on her understanding of him, his response wasn't entirely unexpected.

Oh, what a pity.

Yukino sighed silently for her younger sister.

She knew Yuan Qianye; although he was young, he was precocious and had his own opinions.

He has refused, and that's it. No matter what you say next, he probably won't change his mind.

At least I can't persuade him anymore.

"It's a pity. My mom always says that it would be very beneficial for a child like you to broaden his/her horizons by going to other countries at an early age."

"I'm a little curious."

"Hmm? You go ahead."

"Although that's what Auntie thought, she didn't let you, Yang Nai, go abroad to study."

"Regarding this, the Yukinoshita family has two completely different education plans for me and Yukino. This is related to the future development of the Yukinoshita family, and I am not at liberty to reveal more details, but it is fine if you are one of us."

So, do you want to become one of the Yukinoshita family?

Yukinoshita tilted her head, looking mischievous.
