Because she was going to give a speech on behalf of the freshmen at the opening ceremony.

She actually refused to do this, but her sister agreed to it on her behalf, and even forced her to go to school first after the car accident.

It was not until she finished her speech to freshmen that she rushed to the hospital and saw the unconscious Aragaki Jun.

Yukinoshita Yukino even clearly remembered the driver's excuse at the time -

"Ms. Yang Nai, this man ran to the middle of the road in the fog. He obviously wanted to commit suicide."

"I've read his profile, and the possibility is very low. But...if a reporter comes to interview you, just say this."

Her sister made this arrangement for the sake of the family, and Yukinoshita Yukino knew it, but she still couldn't help but have a big quarrel with her sister.

Later, she heard that her sister had given Aragaki Jun excess compensation, and the amnesiac Aragaki Jun was willing to say so to the public.

He has accepted it, so what right does she have to make a fuss?

Yukinoshita Yukino could convince herself in this way, but she still felt very uncomfortable and had not been able to sleep well for many days.

But surprisingly, after hearing Aragaki Jun's reprimand and questioning, the girl suddenly relaxed.

——If it is your responsibility, you can’t escape it even if you apologize. If it is not your responsibility, you have no right to take it on yourself.

It's such a simple truth, but she has realized it now. Should we say she is obsessed or stupid?

All along, her contact with Aragaki Jun was entirely due to the car accident, which was unfair to both her and him.

So, Yukinoshita Yukino decided to change.

Of course, Aragaki Jun had no idea what the girl was thinking. What he saw was that the two of them were arguing, and Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly laughed.

"Hey, what are you laughing at? Why are you looking at me like that? If you scare me, I'll cry. I'm telling you."

"You were so powerful just now, but you are still afraid of this."

Yukinoshita Yukino waved to Aragaki Jun, signaling him not to let people watch her, and said as she walked:

"Aragaki-san, if you were to encounter what happened just now, what would you do?"

"If I were you?"

After confirming the girl's attitude had changed, Aragaki Jun didn't mind chatting normally, although he hadn't figured out what was going on:

"If I were you, I would say nothing, do nothing, and just go straight to the supermarket!"

"why?"

“Because, I, Yukinoshita Yukino, have done things my whole life, so why should I explain it to others?

"what?"

"That's it. Why do you have to clean up other people's asses?"

What Aragaki Jun said was vulgar, but this truth is true everywhere. It's just that Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to be perfect and do things well, so she got stuck in it.

"Yukinoshita-san, what do you think the apology is for?"

"To gain forgiveness from others?

"No, sometimes, apologizing is not really about getting forgiveness from others, but about making yourself feel at ease."

"Listen... that's a really selfish thought."

"But isn't that how people are? No one will never hurt others in their life. The key is to be true to your conscience, let go of the past, and forgive yourself."

Aragaki Jun's remarks can be said to be extremely self-centered. The education that Yukinoshita Yukino received, as well as the teachings of her family, were not like this.

However, she was very willing to listen to Aragaki Jun's thoughts, because the free and easy and mature style in them were something she did not have.

Being able to make Yukinoshita Yukino show an expression of listening and asking for advice, Aragaki Jun's vanity was unprecedentedly satisfied, so he extended the topic:

"Yukinoshita-san, in my mind, there are three stages in a person's life."

"In the first stage, when you are young, you want to do things perfectly and become a person without flaws."

“So, you always ask others if you are ‘right’ or ‘what went wrong’, hoping that by constantly correcting yourself, you can gradually move closer to perfection!”

These words of Aragaki Jun completely touched Yukinoshita Yukino's heart. She really believed this and was working hard to do it.

"Aragaki-san, what about the second stage?"

"In the second stage, when people reach middle age, all they want is to be worthy of their parents and their wives and children."

"So...what about the first stage dream?"

"My dreams have all been replaced by daily necessities. Ordinary families have to work very hard to live a normal life, so how can they take care of themselves?"

"What is the third stage like?"

"In the end, when you are old and have one foot in the ground, what else is there to be unhappy about? You go one step ahead on the road to the underworld, and you will always meet the people you care about."

When Aragaki Jun said these words, his tone was light, as if he was telling a joke. But Yukinoshita Yukino felt very uncomfortable when she heard it.

"Is it true...there are no perfect people?"

"Of course."

At this time, Aragaki Jun quickened his pace and pushed open the door of the supermarket. He waited for Yukinoshita Yukino to enter before he let go of the handle:

“When a person dies, he or she becomes perfect in the memory of others.”

"you……"

Yukinoshita Yukino's first reaction was that Aragaki Jun was teasing her, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this statement made a lot of sense.

Yukinoshita Yukino has always believed that she is much more mature than her peers.

But today, after listening to Aragaki Jun's thoughts, she felt that she was no match for him.

At this time, Aragaki Jun pushed the shopping cart, and Yukinoshita Yukino walked beside him, and their topic turned to shopping.

"Meihe's favorite oranges are the ones on the right. Take more."

"Is this enough?"

"Give her more. When she sees something she likes to eat, she can't stop eating it. She's very greedy."

"What about the apples here? They look good."

"Take some too. We can make a fruit salad today. Pick some of those bananas and grapes over there."

This time, Aragaki Jun bought things according to his and Takada Mitsuru's habit and did not ask what Yukinoshita Yukino liked to eat.

Now, their relationship has not reached that level. If he cared too much and asked her everything, Yukinoshita Yukino would be disgusted.

Girls are like cats. You can't be mean to her, but you can't be too nice to her either.

If you treat her badly, she will run away from home. If you treat her too well, she will not know how to appreciate her blessings and will think of looking for excitement somewhere else.

Of course, not everyone is like this, and this analogy is indeed a bit rude. But Yukino Yukinoshita, who loves cats so much, shouldn't be angry~

Chapter 68 Such a Family of Three

When they left home, the two people who deliberately didn't talk to each other, when they walked out of the supermarket together, they already had a common topic...

Aragaki Jun is very self-aware. He doesn't think Yukinoshita Yukino is that close to him. The two of them are just having a normal chat like friends.

But he is also special, because there is no one in school who can chat with Yukinoshita Yukino like this.

On the way back, at the strong request of Yukinoshita Yukino, she helped Aragaki Jun carry two bags of things, so the return journey was a little slower.

"..."

This time, Yukinoshita Yukino followed Aragaki Jun to the supermarket, actually wanting to pay for him when he checked out.

She had already thought of the reason. Takada Mitsuru was also her student now, so it was reasonable for her to buy her some daily necessities.

However, Aragaki Jun saw through her thoughts in advance and did not give her this chance at all.

This time, Yukinoshita Yukino, who had adjusted her mindset, was able to truly examine Aragaki Jun. Looking at his every move when he was paying the bill, she had a different impression of him.

——The most mature rejection is not the use of euphemistic or sharp words, but to make the other party unable to even open their mouths.

However, Aragaki Jun's deliberate obstruction of her also made Yukino Yukinoshita worried about his financial situation:

"Aragaki-san, you... haven't been working part-time recently?"

"No, I want to spare more time for study."

Aragaki Jun knew very well what the girl was thinking. She didn't have any special feelings for him, but she just hoped that Takada Mitsuru could have a better living environment.

For this reason, she really wanted to give him some financial assistance, but Aragaki Jun had already given him free tutoring, so how could he have the nerve to ask for money from him?

If she had taken someone else's money, the relationship would not be the same as it is now. If they wanted to develop a closer relationship in the future, she could not care, but what would her family think?

"Yukinoshita-san, please don't worry, I'm not forcing myself, I have no financial problems."

"real?"

"Really? After I was hit, the other party paid me a lot of compensation, enough for me to buy a small house in Tokyo."

"This is...as it should be."

"Well, this money is enough for Mitsuko and I to live normally for three years of high school. As for going to college in the future, if the money is not enough, we can find a way to take out a loan."

Aragaki Jun's responsibility to Takada Mitsuru was not out of kindness as Yukino Yukinoshita thought. He would not feel bad about spending any amount of money on Mitsuru:

"Of course, I won't be resting like this forever. If there is a suitable part-time job, I would also like to earn some money."

"Is it suitable...part-time job?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was inspired to a new idea by Aragaki Jun's words. Since Aragaki Jun did not accept financial assistance, introducing him to a good part-time job would also be a way to help him.

Her family is in Chiba Prefecture and she runs a relatively large construction company. They are planning to expand their business in Tokyo and should be in great need of employees.

Yukinoshita Yukino decided to find time to discuss with her sister to see if she could make arrangements for Aragaki Jun and give him a slightly higher salary.

Aragaki Jun had no idea what the girl was thinking about. At this time, he and she walked past the place where they had just quarreled. Aragaki Jun was even a little glad that the misunderstanding had happened.

Otherwise, he didn't know how long it would take before he could have normal contact with Yukinoshita Yukino.

For the rest of the journey, there was little conversation between the two, but unlike the deliberate silence at the beginning, both of them enjoyed this silence...

The wild cat girl who was concentrating on doing homework in the room ran over immediately after hearing the door open. Although she helped to take the things, she had a stern face and was obviously unhappy.

"Mikaru, I bought you a lot of tangerines again. Are you unhappy?"
