I have bound two systems.

It started snowing again, and the cold air that blew in made his naked body shiver. He quickly closed the window and huddled back into the bathtub.

"It's quite late, and it's snowing outside. Why don't we forget it and talk about it when I get back."

"No, I'm going over now. I have something to tell you."

Kasumigaoka's tone was very calm, but Suzumiya Chisato, who was very familiar with her, still heard something a little off.

Without waiting for his reply, it was Eriri who spoke on the other end of the line.

"Qianli, I'll be there soon. Have you had dinner? Do you want us to bring you something from outside?"

"No, I'll order takeout myself. Please be safe when you come over. The temperature will drop at night, and the unmelted snow should freeze and the road will be slippery."

"Oh, I see."

After Chisato Suzumiya hung up the phone, she didn't continue taking a bath.

He came to the living room and ordered a McDonald's for himself.

An hour later, the takeaway arrived.

He ate dinner while watching TV.

Another hour passed, and it was past ten o'clock in the evening, but Eriri and Kasumigaoka had not arrived yet.

This made Chisato Suzumiya a little worried.

Just as he was about to make a phone call to ask, he heard the sound of a door opening in the entrance hall.

Suzumiya Chisato breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked over there.

Then I saw Eriri and Kasumigaoka standing at the entrance, each dragging a suitcase.

After being stunned for a moment, he instantly understood why it took the two of them so long to get there.

…………

Chapter 81 That's right

The Black Wing flapped its wings and flew directly into the house, landing on top of the air conditioner that it was used to wearing.

Kasumigaoka Utaha placed the suitcase directly at the entrance without bringing it into the house, and walked into the kitchen rubbing her hands.

Winter nights are indeed very cold. She made a cup of hot tea for herself and also prepared a portion for Eriri. After returning to the living room and handing it to her, she sat on the sofa, feeling the warmth in the room and exhaled lightly. After blowing on the boiling hot tea, she carefully leaned over the edge and took a few sips.

After consuming the calories, her expression softened visibly, and she was finally able to speak to Chisato Suzumiya, who was smiling and squinting at her.

"Don't get me wrong, Eriri and I just happened to coincide with your schedule. We were planning to go skiing anyway, and right now both my novel and Eriri's original painting work have been temporarily finished. We can't stay at home all the time during this hard-earned vacation. We have to go out and relax."

She spoke this series of words quite naturally and coherently, without any lag.

Suzumiya Chisato looked at her and nodded thoughtfully. He could roughly imagine her expression as she was revising these words in her mind on the way here.

However, Eriri, who was also holding a cup of hot tea in her hands, stared at Kasumigaoka Utaha and sighed silently with helplessness after she said this.

This kind of behavior of confessing oneself without asking is really too speechless.

It is hard to imagine that the novels written by this woman have been given positive comments such as "delicate", "full of depth", and "able to bring about life thinking" by most of the senior critics on the market.

She herself is so easy to understand, so are the novels she wrote really that profound?

As expected, the next moment, Suzumiya Chisato spoke with a smile,

"Shiyu, I didn't ask anything."

Kasumigaoka Utaha paused blowing on the hot tea, and an obvious look of embarrassment spread across her face.

But she quickly recovered and answered,

"Even if you asked, we would give the same answer."

"No, only you, not me."

Eriri rolled her eyes and ruthlessly sabotaged the show, and the next moment she received a cold gaze from Kasumigaoka.

She was dissatisfied with Eriri's non-cooperation.

Ying Lili was not at all panicked.

Cooperation also requires rules. If you act without thinking, how can I cooperate with you to make people laugh? This is not a crosstalk performance.

She was very familiar with Kasumigaoka. It is said that a biting dog never barks, but Kasumigaoka was the opposite example.

Although she often acts very scary, when asked to do something, she doesn't know what to do next.

Except for that astringent body, everything else is just empty diagrams.

"Actually, after you called me just now to tell me about your schedule for the next few days, Qianli, we also wanted to go out and play for a few days. It just so happens that the ski resort you mentioned sounds very interesting, so after checking the information and thinking that it suits our ideas, Kasumigaoka and I directly booked tickets to Sapporo tomorrow."

Eriri directly stated the true situation.

According to her thinking, there was no need to hide this kind of thing from Qianli. After all, they had been in contact at a negative distance, and there was nothing that could not be said openly.

It's too sad that even the closest people have to go through so many twists and turns.

Besides, Qianli had just finished speaking when they arrived and they told him that their itineraries were the same. Anyone who is not a fool can see that they did it on purpose.

But Kasumigaoka insisted on explaining everything in her own way, and I saw the result. I should have taken the trouble to convince her at that time. But it doesn't matter. I just need to draw a clear line between myself and her.

So far everything is under control.

"Don't worry, Qianli. I understand that you are going on a company-wide camp trip this time, so even if the two of us are going to the same destination as you, we won't be so ignorant as to force us to go together. The two of us will take good care of ourselves together, so you don't have to worry. You have been working so hard recently, just relax for the next few days."

Ying Lili told them without reservation the planned arrangements for the next few days, emphasizing that the girl was well-behaved, sensible and understanding.

Although her chest, revealed by her straight back, was still a little small, her graceful demeanor and manner showed the demeanor of a mature lady.

"Hey!"

Just when Suzumiya Chisato was feeling extremely pleased and didn't know what to say, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately became dissatisfied.

You have to know that her own idea is completely different.

She has booked a flight to Sapporo tomorrow morning, which is the same destination as Chisato. She must also want to participate in activities with Chisato Suzumiya.

The three of them were divided into two groups and acted independently throughout the whole process. What kind of joke was this? She didn't want to only see Ying Lili's face in the next few days.

If the arrangement was really as she said, then wouldn't it be completely meaningless for her to choose the same travel destination as Qianli?

She is afraid of cold, and if it wasn't for Qianli and her desire to leave beautiful memories of the journey with him, she would never want to go to such a cold place like the Sapporo snow resort surrounded by mountains!

If I don't have him holding me while I sleep at night, I will definitely wake up in the middle of the night because I am not used to the hotel bed and my body is cold and my feet are cold.

Absolutely don't do that!

"Don't talk nonsense. If you want to do it, you should do it yourself. I wish you a pleasant journey."

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't say exactly what she was going to do, but seeing her stand up and come over and sit down between the two of them, her plan was clear to me.

No matter what Ying Lili plans to do, she is determined to implement her original plan unswervingly.

Ying Lili's eyelids bulged slightly, and she tried her best to suppress her urge to curse.

Kasumigaoka was drinking her tea calmly. Tea cools down quickly in winter, and the slightly hot temperature was just right for her.

When Suzumiya Chisato saw this scene, apart from feeling a little happy, she didn't feel much trouble.

But just when he was about to say something, coincidentally, Ichichi Hoshige called him.

After Suzumiya Chisato took the call, she started talking about work on the other end of the phone. Seeing this, Suzumiya Chisato looked at the two of them apologetically, then slowly walked towards the balcony while answering the call.

Dark Wing probably missed him as he hadn't seen him for a while, so he flew down from the top of the air conditioner, landed on his shoulder, and went to the balcony together.

The sliding door of the balcony was opened and then slowly closed.

Through the transparent glass door, one could see the tall and slender figure of Chisato Suzumiya. The two people who remained in the living room stared at her for a while and then looked away.

"What do you want to do?"

Before Eriri could say anything, Kasumigaoka Utaha took the initiative to attack her, staring at her with a bad expression.

Ying Lili was so angry that she asked back,

"Should I be the one asking you what you want to do? Didn't you consider the reality of the situation at all when you said that? The company's camp travel arrangement suddenly forced us two outsiders to join in. Not to mention whether this arrangement is very strange, didn't you consider that Qianli would be embarrassed by this?"

"Two o'clock."

Kasumigaoka Utaha put down her teacup and stretched out two slender fingers.

“First, with our current relationship with Qianli, I don’t feel like we are outsiders.

Second, as the head of the club, Qianli is understandable even if he has other temporary arrangements, and it is not up to others to make irresponsible remarks.

Besides, we don’t have to follow them throughout the whole process. My minimum request is just to let Qianli come to our room to rest at night. In this way, neither Qianli nor his employees will have any objection to this. "

Eriri looked at her, snorted and chuckled, then took the two fingers that Kasumigaoka extended.

"Then have you ever thought that even if you don't act so determined, your minimum demands will definitely be met? With Qianli's personality, do you really think he will abandon us even if I say that?"

Kasumigaoka frowned.

"What nonsense are you trying to say?"

"Aha--"

Ying Lili covered her face with one hand and sighed helplessly.

"We both have the same inner thoughts, but why are you always so straightforward in the way you want to achieve your goals? Can't you try to be a little more tactful? Don't you know that everything should be done in moderation? If you pull the kite string so hard, it will break sooner or later."

"The connection between Qianli and I, even if I were to use an analogy, should not be like a kite string but a steel cable. There is no possibility of it breaking."

"Why are you so complacent? Even if that's the case, you're just being reckless because of his feelings for you. But feelings will grow stronger and fade away with time. We're less than 20 years old now, and there's a long way to go. Who knows what will happen in the future? So even if you know that Qianli will obey you in everything, don't overuse this privilege. Caring and giving are mutual. The best solution is to stand in his shoes and consider him more!"

Eriri spoke in a low voice and very quickly, looking towards the balcony from time to time to prevent Chisato Suzumiya from ending the call and suddenly coming back.

As Kasumigaoka listened to her long speech, he fell into a rare silence.

Although she didn't quite agree with Eriri's ideas, it was undeniable that there was some truth in what she said.

She pulled back her fingers that were tightly grasped by Eriri and looked away.

"... Where did you come from, mom?"

It seems to be a casual sigh without any reason, but it is already a substantial concession by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Yes, it is indeed the experience I gained from my mother. Although my situation is different from hers, it can indeed bring me inspiration."

Seeing that her thoughts were conveyed well to the other party, Ying Lili breathed a sigh of relief.

"So when Qianli comes back later, don't talk anymore and let me handle it."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips and said nothing, but Eriri, who knew her character well, already understood that she was expressing her consent.

What an awkward guy.

Eriri convinced Kasumigaoka, and the two reached a consensus in a short period of time and picked up their teacups again and drank tea in silence.

After discussing work matters with Ijichi Hoshika, Suzumiya Chisato returned to the living room and was pulled by Eriri's arm to sit on the sofa.

He wanted to respond to the obvious request that Kasumigaoka had just made.

Just as Kasumigaoka thought, as long as it was what she expected, even if Suzumiya Chisato found it a little difficult, he didn't have to think too much about it because of his deep feelings for her. As long as it didn't violate the legal or moral requirements, he would choose to compromise without hesitation.

I want to emphasize here that calling Eriri while being intimate with her does not involve any moral issues. At best, it can only be regarded as a romantic act between lovers, where one person's happiness is built on someone else's unfulfilled desires.

But just as he was about to speak, Eriri beat him to the punch and told him the result of her discussion with Kasumigaoka.

"We've thought about it. You really shouldn't worry about us, Qianli. Just focus on the company's employees. After all, you're at a critical juncture in your career and we don't want to hold you back. We'll look for local travel guides online later. We'll have a lot of fun. You don't have to worry about us, and you don't have to adjust the original arrangements for us."

After hearing what Eriri said, Suzumiya Chisato immediately turned her attention to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

She was drinking tea quietly, her face calm, without the obvious resistance she showed before.

It seemed to be just as Eriri said, the two of them had reached a consensus while he was on the phone.

He turned his head back to look at Eriri, who had an understanding smile on her face.

Of course he understood that the current situation was the result of Eriri's efforts to persuade Shiyu.

In fact, this is completely convenient for Suzumiya Chisato. Otherwise, if he suddenly brought them both with him, he would definitely have to explain to others tomorrow. Although it is not a very troublesome matter overall, there will definitely be many inconveniences in subsequent collective actions.

Because Shiyu, Eriri, the Ending Band, and Ijichi Hoshika are not very familiar with each other, if they are forced to act together, he will have to be in the middle to mediate, otherwise it will be extremely awkward.

So now, just nod along with what Eriri said, and there won’t be any unnecessary worries and troubles.

However, Suzumiya Chisato was not able to agree to her words so easily.
