I have bound two systems.

These twenty minutes are the best answer that Yukinoshita Yukino came up with after repeated observation and exploration.

Meeting for twenty minutes every day would reassure her that she wouldn't have to worry about suddenly turning back into a cat the next day, and she wouldn't be so nervous that she couldn't take life and study seriously.

Chisato Suzumiya was very cooperative in this regard. Every night before going home, she would go to her house and spend the time quietly.

To be honest, Yukinoshita Yukino was worried at first whether she was too impulsive. Facing a playboy surrounded by so many girls, it seems that he is not a "scumbag" at this stage.

Letting him into her apartment late at night, when they were alone, and the other person was a high school boy with extremely high sexual desire, would this make him have some inappropriate thoughts about her, who was extremely outstanding and lovely, and then uncontrollably start to take some actions to pursue her?

Yukinoshita Yukino was not joking, but was really worried about this happening. After all... she was really cute. She could feel the boys in school staring at her every day, and she was so smart that she was aware of this.

She had also thought of a countermeasure for this in advance. If Chisato Suzumiya really took action, how would she reject her and stop him from having such fearless ideas?

But in the end, Yukinoshita Yukino's worries did not come true, and the words of rejection she came up with were of no use in the end.

Every time Suzumiya Chisato came, he behaved very politely and was self-aware, firmly tying himself to the identity of a visiting guest.

Although he could feel that the contempt that Yukinoshita Yukino showed him recently had become less and less, which proved that her dislike for him was gradually disappearing.

But he still did not get carried away by such things. There are many areas in Yukinoshita Yukino's apartment, but he only moved around in the center of the living room and at most used the bathroom. He would not set foot in other areas such as the rooms, kitchen, and balcony for drying clothes, and he had no interest in setting foot in them.

After spending more time together, the way they get along seems to be no different than it was at the beginning.

But it is true that something has changed without anyone noticing.

------

July 21st, Friday.

There is no school tomorrow, so after returning home, Yukinoshita Yukino tied her hair up as usual and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

After taking a bath, she simply wrapped herself in a bath towel and sat on the edge of the bed.

She deliberately did not meet with Chisato Suzumiya yesterday. According to the rules she summed up and the image proposed by Chisato Suzumiya, she is now running low on "battery power" and will probably "shut down" as a human being soon.

She quietly looked through her phone for a while beside the bed, and as expected, that extremely obvious feeling of drowsiness slowly came over her.

Because she wanted to know how long she could resist this feeling, she slowly crawled to the center of the bed and kept trying not to fall asleep. Half an hour later, she could no longer hold on and closed her eyes due to the sleepiness.

Not long after, she slowly woke up after becoming Yukinoshita Yukino.

Looking at my furry body, I felt a little weird.

Now that I know I can change back easily without any worries and concerns, the feeling brought by such things now is no longer fear, but a vague interest.

She had always loved cats, and now that she had become one of them, there was no reason not to study them from a first-person perspective.

Especially the cat's tail...

Yukinoshita Snow Cat stood up and stared at the tail that was sticking high behind her butt.

The feeling of controlling a part of your body that doesn't exist is really quite subtle.

She began to imitate the cats she had seen in cute cat videos. She circled around on the bed, chasing her tail, then turned over lazily. Finally, she turned over and lay down, with her head drooping on the edge of the bed, observing the room in the opposite direction.

"Meow meow meow~"

Yukinoshita Snow Cat was having so much fun that she started laughing unconsciously, but ended up making a milky meow.

Ah~ I can’t take it anymore. I am really cute.

She quickly stood up and began to imitate what she thought was a cute cat move, scratching her ears with her hind legs.

It's still early, just a little after six o'clock. If Chisato Suzumiya comes over today, there will still be several hours, so we can't waste such time.

An idea suddenly popped up in Yukinoshita Yukino's mind, and she quickly made up her mind. After trying several times, she finally moved the mobile phone from the bedside table to the sofa in the living room with some difficulty. After pressing the record button, she fixed the phone against the sofa pillow, and then began to let go of herself and act cute.

After all, I want to leave a souvenir.

she thinks.

------

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Suzumiya Chisato arrived as promised. After waiting for a while, Yukinoshita Yukino opened the door and invited him in.

They have done similar things many times during this period of time, and they have become accustomed to it, so there is no unnecessary courtesy.

"how are you today?"

"Just as I guessed, I turned into a cat around 6pm. Every time before I turned into a cat, I would feel very sleepy. But this feeling would gradually become stronger, and I could resist it with my willpower. The maximum time for this process was about 30 minutes."

"One more thing has been clarified. This is good news. At least this process is not instant. It will give you a prompt before it happens. In case of any unexpected situation, you will have time to react."

After a brief thought, Chisato Suzumiya came to a conclusion.

"That's right, I can feel more at ease now."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded in agreement with the other party.

After a brief exchange of words, both of them were speechless.

Although Yukinoshita Yukino's opinion of Chisato Suzumiya has improved over the period of time they have spent together.

But the way we communicate this matter openly has not changed much from before.

The two of them were in different campuses, and the only way they could connect was through Isshiki Iroha and Yukinoshita Haruno, whom they both knew. But they couldn't really just talk about the two of them, as that would always feel weird.

Yukinoshita Yukino recalled carefully that it was the same when she was in the Service Club. Most of the time, it was Isshiki Iroha or Yuigahama Yui who started the topic, and she would occasionally say something. If they didn't speak, she seemed to remain silent and read most of the time.

"We're out of coffee. I bought some online, but it'll probably take a few days to arrive. Is it okay to just drink black tea today?"

"Thank you. I'm not picky. It doesn't matter if some of them are drinking plain water."

Suzumiya Chisato thanked her and took the black tea handed to her by Yukinoshita Yukino. She blew on it, took a sip, and commented that it tasted very good.

They would need to stay here for some time, and this time could not be wasted, so Suzumiya Chisato sat down at the coffee table, took out the test paper from her schoolbag, and started doing the questions.

Yukinoshita Yukino was sitting on the sofa a little distance away from him, holding a cup of black tea in her hand, drinking it in small sips while blowing on it, while silently observing Chisato Suzumiya who was concentrating on doing her homework.

This is how the two of them have been spending this time.

After Chisato Suzumiya walked in and simply said hello, Yukinoshita Yukino brought him a drink, and then the two of them went about their own business.

Then when the time was almost up, Suzumiya Chisato took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye, and Yukinoshita Yukino saw him to the door, and the day ended.

It's only been a few days, but Yukinoshita Yukino has learned a lot more about Suzumiya Chisato.

First of all, in terms of grades, on Monday of this week, when he was taking a book out of his schoolbag, the test paper fell out of the bag and landed on the floor. Although Suzumiya Chisato quickly picked it up and put it back, the sharp-eyed Yukinoshita Yukino still saw his scores on the test paper. He got full marks in the three important subjects of English, mathematics and Japanese.

Although Yukinoshita Yukino was a little surprised at the time, she was still able to accept it because she had expected it in advance because Ari Iroha had once said, "Suzumiya-senpai's academic performance is super good."

Then starting from Tuesday, Yukinoshita Yukino found that things were gradually becoming a little outrageous, gradually beyond the scope of her understanding.

In the twenty minutes on Tuesday, Yukinoshita Yukino watched Chisato Suzumiya write the lyrics of three songs by hand. She also paid special attention to the time. The whole process took only more than ten minutes.

Why did she know that those things written by Chisato Suzumiya were lyrics?

Because when Chisato Suzumiya was writing, she marked the notes on the lyrics, and then hummed the rhythm for several hours while writing.

After that, after Chisato Suzumiya finished writing, she took a photo of the lyrics with her mobile phone and sent it to someone.

Soon someone called in.

Suzumiya Chisato didn't care that Yukinoshita Yukino was around and answered the phone directly.

The call didn't last long, and not many words were said in total, but Yukinoshita Yukino knew exactly what he had just done from what Chisato Suzumiya said and the faint voice coming from the phone, such as "Thank you very much", "Ten million per song for now, and there will be dividends later", "Please take care of me in the future", and so on.

He was selling the song he had just written directly.

Silently watching Chisato Suzumiya's indifferent expression after she hung up the phone, Yukinoshita Yukino once wondered if he was deliberately pretending in front of her, just like when she was in elementary or junior high school, those overly energetic boys would do all kinds of weird and eye-catching things in order to attract her attention.

This idea has been retained.

Then on Thursday, which was yesterday, after Yukinoshita Yukino went to school, she heard the voices of several classmates gathered together in the classroom. They all wore headphones and were talking about pop music.

In the past, when Yukinoshita Yukino heard such insignificant words, she would forget them after a while, but today, she took them particularly seriously.

Because the title of the new song that those classmates were talking about was exactly the title of one of the songs written by Chisato Suzumiya that she saw on Tuesday night.

She almost immediately took out her mobile phone and entered the key words "Brvae Shine" to search, and then quickly got the relevant information about the song.

This is a new song released last night by a female singer backed by Suzuki Entertainment Agency. It immediately topped the new song charts upon release and was also chosen as the opening theme song for a new hot-blooded anime.

Yukinoshita Yukino dragged her finger downwards, and in the lyrics and composition column, she saw the name [LGQL]. After a little thought, she realized that it was the abbreviation of Chisato Suzumiya's name.

This has proved that Chisato Suzumiya was not pretending in front of her on Tuesday night, but really relied on her own strength to sell three songs in less than twenty minutes.

During the lunch break on Thursday, Yukinoshita Yukino did not eat or read immediately after arriving at the Service Club. Instead, she took out her cell phone, clicked on the song "Brvae Shine", and listened to it three times before Isshi Iroha and Yuigahama Yui came.

Then it was Wednesday, and that night Chisato Suzumiya didn't do anything special. Instead, she was on the phone the whole time in a voice that wouldn't disturb Yukinoshita Yukino.

As for the specific content, since he didn't want to conceal or avoid it deliberately, Yukinoshita Yukino heard it very clearly.

He seemed to be about to open a firm of his own, and the person on the other end of the phone should be a practitioner with relevant experience, who was telling him about various experiences.

A high school student who is only in his second year of high school is starting to start his own business before he officially enters society.

Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't tell what she was feeling.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always taken her sister as an example and tried to catch up with her. However, in her memory, her sister seemed to be just carrying out normal campus activities when she was in the second year of high school. It seemed that she became the student union president at that time, managed the school in an orderly manner, and was very prestigious among students. After that, this experience was also written into her resume by the school, which was considered quite outstanding.

But now when I compare my sister's deeds with what Chisato Suzumiya did, I always feel that my sister, who once shone so brightly in my eyes, seems to be nothing more than this.

Just like this, as Yukino Yukinoshita gets to know Chisato Suzumiya better and better, her impression of him gradually changes.

In the past, she thought he was "a playboy who only used his good looks to play with girls."

Now, it has become "a playboy who plays with girls by relying on his good looks and talent."

The image of a philandering man has not changed for the time being, but there is indeed an additional word of recognition and positive praise.

Then on Friday night, Yukinoshita Yukino was actually quite looking forward to today's Chisato Suzumiya, and whether she could once again do something beyond her expectations.

Chisato Suzumiya had no idea what Yukinoshita Yukino was thinking. These days, he had been working towards his ambitious goal of retiring before the age of thirty, adhering to the principle of not wasting time.

But even without knowing it, he did not disappoint Yukinoshita Yukino's expectations today.

Under the other party's silent observation, he finished the test exercises almost without stopping. Then, after briefly reviewing them, he took out a recently purchased laptop from his schoolbag, as well as... a drawing tablet.

So, the next moment, Yukinoshita Yukino, with her eyes twitching slightly, watched Chisato Suzumiya skillfully use the pressure-sensitive pen to draw a two-dimensional cartoon pattern.

Yukinoshita Yukino closed her eyes silently, sighed silently, and pinched the tip of her nose with her fingers.

In such a short time, it would be enough to just finish the difficult high school test paper.

Now, after the academic level, musical talent, and earning ability, a talent for painting has appeared. What's the matter?

The key is that the painting is pretty good.

Does this person in front of her, who is the same age as her, really know everything?

There has never been a moment when Yukinoshita Yukino was so frustrated as she is now.

However, this emotion did not last long. The next moment, the sound of a door opening was heard from the entrance, which made both Suzumiya Chisato and Yukinoshita Yukino stunned.

Then, the door was opened, and before anyone appeared, an unusually cheerful and bright voice came in.

"Xue-no~ Let's play together~"

The voice was undoubtedly Yukinoshita Haruno.

Suzumiya Chisato stopped writing and quickly turned around to look at Yukinoshita Yukino. He had forgotten that such a situation would happen.

Yukinoshita Yukino was also unable to remain calm, because according to her sister and mother's plan, they would not return from Sapporo for a few more days.

Although Suzumiya Chisato didn't say anything, the look in her eyes clearly conveyed her intention of what to do now.

After the initial panic, Yukinoshita Yukino quickly calmed down. After all, she had a legitimate reason to let Chisato Suzumiya come to her home, and not because of some unfounded reasons. Although she couldn't say it explicitly, she would not feel guilty after understanding this.

So Yukinoshita Yukino put down the red teacup in her hand, took a deep breath and made a decision.

"Let's play it by ear."

This is equivalent to saying nothing.

However, for this sudden situation, there was no time for them to discuss countermeasures, and they could only perform on the spot.

"Hey, Yukino-chan, is there anyone coming home?"

Yukinoshita Haruno discovered a pair of men's shoes at the entrance.

She was a little surprised. You know, it was already past ten o'clock. With her sister's personality, would she keep a man at home at such a late time?

However, as she walked into the living room carrying large and small bags, this doubt was quickly answered.

"Ms. Yang."

Suzumiya Chisato stood up and greeted Yukinoshita Haruno with a smile, who looked puzzled.
