I have bound two systems.

When saying this, Yang Noi perfectly expressed her pitiful and delicate appearance.

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly.

"Next time something like this happens, please don't come to me again. Can't you just refuse directly? Whether it's your family or that man, it would save you a lot of trouble if you just choose one and make it clear."

"Haha, so Yukino is still an innocent and cute child. The adult world is not that simple. But I don't hate this way of thinking at all. Let's not talk about this anymore. Next time I will try not to bother you as much as possible. Is that okay?"

Yukinoshita Haruno picked up a can of drink and handed it over. Seeing her sweet smile, Yukinoshita Yukino had no choice but to take it and gently clinked glasses with her.

"It's been a long time since we two sisters have been alone together like this. Let's talk about our hearts."

As soon as this opening remark came out, Yukinoshita Yukino instinctively felt something was wrong. Based on her understanding of her sister, this was the opening remark she always used to start a certain topic.

"It's getting late, and I should rest too. Sister, don't drink too much, and rest early too."

As soon as Yukinoshita Yukino stood up from the sofa, Yukinoshita Haruno grabbed her wrist.

"Don't be so boring. It's been a long time since I've had a private chat with my lovely sister. It's rare that we're both free like tonight."

Yukinoshita Yukino mercilessly sabotages the show.

"We went home together and stayed for a while a few days ago."

"With mom and dad here, there are many things that we sisters can't talk about directly."

Half forced and half begging, Yukinoshita Yukino was pulled and finally sat back on the sofa.

Yukinoshita Haruno didn't try too hard, and directly asked about the matter that she had just noticed and had been very concerned about.

"Speaking of which, Yukino, it seems like a new neighbor has moved in next door to you."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino remained silent. Not wanting to discuss this topic, she threw the empty snack bag on the coffee table into the trash can.

"In the restaurant this afternoon, I happened to notice that your eyes met his. Also, when I went out to buy something before, you seemed to look at him in a strange way, as if you hated him. What's wrong? Did he do something bad to you that made you hate him so much?"

Yukinoshita Haruno held her cheek with her hand and said with a smile what she had noticed.

After all, it was discovered...

"...Sister, you should go and rest."

Yukinoshita Yukino stood up for the second time and wanted to leave.

But this time, Yukinoshita Haruno did not choose to keep him. She leaned on the sofa and spoke lazily.

"It's okay if you don't tell me. Let me guess. Is it because that boy pursued you even though he already had a girlfriend?"

Yukinoshita Yukino continued walking towards her room.

"It seems that I guessed wrong. You must have noticed his fickle nature, so you directly developed a dislike for him."

This time, Yukinoshita Haruno's tone tended to be affirmative.

And this time she was right. Yukinoshita Yukino stopped and slowly turned around.

"Some things are really incomprehensible. Why would he do such a despicable thing when he already has a girlfriend?"

"Well, you'll see more and more of this kind of thing in the future. It's not that rare."

Yukinoshita Haruno shrugged.

"But getting angry with someone who has nothing to do with you is not a smart thing to do, and it's not your character."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino's silence again made Yukinoshita Haruno realize something.

"It seems there is something I don't know. Is the other party related to you in some way?"

"……Good night."

Yukinoshita Yukino said this and went straight back to her room without stopping this time.

Yukinoshita Haruno sighed slightly and looked out the window.

Although the sisters Haruno and Yukino look alike, have grown up in a similar environment, and have received the same elite education from the Yukinoshita family, they are very different from each other, and can even be said to be completely opposite.

Apart from the most obvious visual performance of their bodies, what stands out and leaves the deepest impression on people is their personalities.

Yukinoshita Haruno is as her name suggests, with an extroverted personality. There is no need to worry about her interpersonal relationships. Regardless of whether she is sincere or not, at least she is not someone that people can find fault with.

Yukinoshita Yukino is the complete opposite. Her personality is as cold and indifferent as snowflakes. To put it in a positive way, she is independent and strong. However, some people who don't like her personality have a malicious understanding of her, that is, she is aloof and cold, and her personality is unpleasant and flawed.

In a sense, Touma and Kazusa's situation before meeting Chisato Suzumiya was similar to hers to a certain extent.

The same isolation from the crowd, the same lack of acceptance and understanding by classmates.

However, Yukinoshita Yukino's situation is slightly better than Touma Kazusa's. At least her personality is relatively mature and independent. She established the Service Club according to her own ideas and gained the friendship of some individuals.

"It's really embarrassing. Should I tell Ms. Touma about this? When we met in the restaurant, I felt that she liked that boy quite a lot. I don't think she knows anything about his private life..."

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up her phone and opened the address book, and found Touma Yoko's contact information. She hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to give up.

After all, the relationship between them can hardly be called close, it was just a casual encounter.

She was so diligent in reporting on the other party's daughter's boyfriend that it always seemed like she had ulterior motives.

It would seem too deliberate to contact him directly and tell him about this kind of thing. Ms. Touma is not such a stupid person, she would not let that boy keep the secret until the end.

If we meet again in the future, I can casually tell her about this during the chat, which would be considered as the most kind thing to do.

After Yukinoshita Haruno figured it out in a short time, she was no longer troubled.

After she finished the rest of the beer, she stood up and knocked on her sister's door.

"Yukino, my sister is going to take a shower. Can you come over and help scrub her back?"

----

The living room of the Suzumiya family was filled with the rich aroma of various dishes combined together.

Utaha Kasumigaoka complied with the small request made by Chisato Suzumiya during the day, and most of the dishes she made were garnished with chili peppers.

There was nothing wrong with all of this. We had indeed agreed to have dinner together in the evening when he came back.

But when Chisato Suzumiya finished her bath and sat at the dining table, she fell into rare silence as she looked at the dishes on the table that were obviously full of profound meaning.

"Because you only asked for the dishes to be spicy and didn't mention any other specific requests, I prepared these for you according to my own ideas."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat next to Suzumiya Chisato, leaning her hands on the table and supporting her cheeks with the back of her hands.

“Each portion is not too large, so eat it all.”

Come on, finish eating. What next?

Suzumiya Chisato raised her eyelids.

He first turned his attention to the dish closest to him.

The thick sauce on the surface of the teriyaki eel looks particularly tempting under the bright light, and the embellishment of chopped bell pepper and cooked sesame seeds makes it even more appetizing.

Looking at this dish alone may not reveal any clues, but if you combine it with the dishes below, it will be quite problematic.

Geoduck sashimi, stir-fried kidney with chili peppers, wolfberry pigeon soup...

Looking at the food on the table, there was not a single vegetable, only meat.

In a sense, these dishes, without exception, are quite effective in replenishing men in certain aspects.

Combined with the one that Kasumigaoka Utaha was wearing tonight, if she leaned forward slightly or bent over, she could get a glimpse of the bottomless abyss of the low-cut pajamas.

Chisato Suzumiya had a vague premonition of something.

Perhaps after he finishes this meal, he will be "cooked" non-stop.

But the problem is that he had already planned to discuss something serious tonight!

"Qianli, please pick up your chopsticks."

Kasumigaoka Utaha urged softly. She was particularly charming and elegant tonight, and the affection in her eyes showed no intention of suppressing her reserve. It just flowed out so obviously and directly.

Chisato Suzumiya picked up the chopsticks as she said, hesitated for a long time, and finally picked up a small piece of eel meat and put it into her mouth.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the moment the eel meat passed through his throat and sank into his stomach, he felt a slight warmth in his lower abdomen.

"……How is the taste?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha deliberately moved closer and pressed her body against Suzumiya Chi's arm.

Just like breaking lotus root or okra, her voice combined with her facial expression was so sticky that it was almost stringy.

I can't go on like this. My self-control is shaky and I'm on the verge of collapse.

"delicious."

Although Suzumiya Chisato said this, she put down her chopsticks under the suspicious gaze of Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Shiyu, remember what I told you during the day, I will be honest with you when I come back tonight?"

"Yes, I remember."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat up straight, she realized that what Suzumiya Chisato was going to say next would be quite important.

"...Do you still remember Touma Kazusa?"

Because he had been planning this for quite some time, Suzumiya Chisato did not hesitate too much. After a brief pause, he looked into Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes and said the name very directly.

"..."

The originally warm and charming atmosphere was instantly shattered.

At this moment, when you hear another girl's name from the other person's mouth, you don't need to listen to what comes next. Many things are actually clear at a glance.

This is somewhat different from Kasumigaoka Utaha's original guess. She thought that the meaning behind what Chisato Suzumiya said during the day was a confession to the girl she met in the supermarket.

But now, he said another girl's name.

"...Yes, I know."

Kasumigaoka Utaha gathered her hair and sighed softly.

Strangely enough, after learning this fact, she did not get angry as she had imagined, but accepted it in a very calm manner.

Perhaps, deep down in my heart, I had already anticipated this fact.

"What do you want to say about Touma and Sa?"

“…I’m dating her.”

"..."

"..."

After two simple and brief exchanges, silence fell between the two.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's breathing gradually became rapid, and the frequency of her chest rising and falling increased significantly.

After she sorted out her thoughts, she felt like laughing for a moment.

There was no special reason, because after she heard the news from Chisato Suzumiya, the first thing that came to her mind was to call Eriri and discuss a solution to this crisis with her.

"I see."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's slightly furrowed brows were smoothed out by her great willpower.

"You've worked hard all day. Don't talk so much now. Eat first and we'll talk later."

…………

Chapter 228: The End of the Relationship and Having Both

In the dim room, Eriri Sawamura was sitting at the table, painting with great concentration.

The rent of an apartment for Chisato Suzumiya and the payment of a security deposit some time ago caused her private stash of cash to shrink slightly.

Considering that there is a lot of time and money needs to be spent, I cannot meet Chisato Suzumiya in my free time.

In addition to studying, what Eriri devotes most of her energy to is drawing books and taking on various painting-related commissions to earn extra money.

The name "Kashiwagi Eri" that she has been using in the industry is considered to be well-known, so she does not have to worry about not getting work or making money. However, the high-intensity painting does make her feel mentally and physically tired.

But it doesn't matter. As long as I think about the fact that I can move out of home after going to college under the pretext of developing independence, and start a wonderful life of cohabitation with Qianli, all these hardships will not matter for a moment.

Before that, all she needed to do was to work hard to make money like a little squirrel that tirelessly stored food for the winter.

It would be best if this relatively unfree time could earn them enough to cover their daily expenses during college, so that they don't have to go out to work for financial reasons and spend less time together.
