I have bound two systems.

"It sounds troublesome. How about taking a middle ground? Even though she's not my girlfriend, I can still do things to her that I can only do to my girlfriend. How about that?"

Yukinoshita Haruno felt that her summary was quite accurate and showed an expression of expectation for praise.

In response, Suzumiya Chisato just smiled at her.

Then, under her expectant gaze, he came in front of her, slowly approached, and leaned forward...

Then he rang the doorbell for her.

…………

Chapter 118 Hong Xia's Test

After waiting for a while, Yukinoshita Yukino opened the door.

She was wearing a coat and her hair was simply tied back with a hair tie.

Because she had already confirmed who was knocking on the door through the peephole before opening the door, she didn't seem too surprised.

However, when she saw her sister smiling and raising her hand to greet her, she still sighed helplessly.

She did not respond to her elder sister, but looked at Suzumiya Chisato first.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, sister."

Based on my sister's personality, I knew what had happened without asking her.

Suzumiya Chisato shook her head indifferently.

"It's okay, then I'll go back first."

Just as he thought, after her beloved sister appeared, Yukinoshita Haruno immediately calmed down.

How much this person cares about her sister.

With such emotion in her heart, Suzumiya Chisato and Haruno made eye contact, nodded slightly, and then turned and left.

"Huh, sister..."

"Okay, okay, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

"You smell strongly of alcohol..."

"Don't worry about it, I'll take a shower right away."

Not giving her younger sister a chance to ask questions, Yukinoshita Haruno pinched her face and walked past her towards the house.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the closed door of Suzumiya Chisato's house, sighed lightly, closed the door, and turned to walk into the house.

----

The next day, the four members who had finished the band gathered at Suzumiya Chisato's house at around ten o'clock in the morning.

Studying has never been their strong point, but that is only because they don't put enough effort into it.

There are still a few days before the school starts. Although temporary cramming will not allow them to directly rank at the top of the grade ranking list in subsequent test scores, it can at least play a role and make their grades look a little better.

This was enough for them, and also for Chisato Suzumiya. After all, his previous promise to their parents was only to ensure that he would supervise their studies in addition to their performances and would not let their academic performance decline.

So considering this, the study session led by Chisato Suzumiya is not that complicated.

In short, finish all the unfinished holiday homework first, and then have Chisato Suzumiya check it carefully, point out and correct the mistakes.

Then, start to practice questions endlessly according to each of their weaknesses.

This is a stupid method that is quite torturous for the learner, but we have to admit that it does work if you put your heart into it.

But even so, Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri are still very happy. After all, they can stay in one place with the people they love and be together for several days.

The only difference is that one of them reveals such emotions openly, while the other can only hide it deep in her heart.

But for Chisato Suzumiya, these few days were actually a complete rest.

Although I told Ijichi Xingge before that I would teach them, when the study session actually started, it was a completely different situation.

This makes it necessary to talk about the academic ability levels of these four people.

Among the four of them at this stage, Ichichi Hongxia's performance is the most stable and outstanding. Among the nearly 300 students in the grade, she can probably consistently rank among the top 70 or 80.

Kita Ikuyo followed closely behind, with her results fluctuating in the upper-middle level.

As for Goto Ichiri, she is a little worse because she has no interest in studying, which makes her an absolute weakness in this area.

According to her private confession to Chisato Suzumiya, there was a time when she got zero points in an exam even after studying hard, which was somewhat funny.

The same thing happened during the final exam last semester. It was only because Chisato Suzumiya took special care of her and gave her private tutoring that she was able to pass the exam with ease and avoid the risk of repeating a grade.

Yamada Ryo was put last because this guy is a little special.

She performed terribly in her regular quizzes and was at the bottom of the class, but if necessary, she could easily get to the top of the class with a little hard work.

Hongxia had been friends with her for a short time. Seeing that she was a poor student, she pulled her to study with her out of kindness. However, after the test results came out, the former poor student unexpectedly became a top student. It is said that Hongxia was devastated by this incident for a long time.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, Yamada Ryo can actually be considered a genius in a sense.

Needless to say, she can play the bass, guitar, and drums. As long as she is willing to work hard in her studies, she can easily get good grades.

I have never heard her sing, but according to her own words, if she opens her mouth, the entire audience will probably fall in love with her uncontrollably.

When I first heard it, I thought it was an exaggerated self-praise on her part, but now that I think about it...it might not be the case.

All in all, it was different from what Suzumiya Chisato had expected, where the four of them would hold exercise books and ask various questions they didn't know how to answer.

On the first day of the study session, things were extremely relaxed and comfortable.

The living room was tidied up, and the four of them came and sat around the table to do their homework. Suzumiya Chisato was leaning casually on the sofa in her loose pajamas, using a pillow to prop up the thick book "One Hundred Years of Solitude" as she read.

He sat so close so that if they had any questions he could immediately stand up and answer them.

But in the end, half a day had passed, and except for the little cutie who stared at him from time to time and was a little distracted, no one came to bother him. If there was anything they didn't know, they could just ask each other and solve it easily.

Not only that, when Hongxia went to the kitchen to pour water, she also filled his cup.

This made Chisato Suzumiya, who had already prepared herself mentally, feel a subtle sense of disappointment.

You don't need me...

Also good.

In this case, I might as well take a few days of leisure and rest.

It was almost noon when Chisato Suzumiya went downstairs to the supermarket to order some food.

Since they don't need my help for the time being, don't be lazy and order takeout for lunch. I will cook for myself at noon after a long time.

When he was picking vegetables in the kitchen, Hongxia poked her head out.

"Do you need help?"

"No, just go study."

"That's it..."

Although she got such an answer, Hong Xia still walked in.

"But I'm a little tired from studying now, and I think it would be nice to do something else to relax."

Chisato Suzumiya temporarily stopped what she was doing, took a few steps back, and poked her head out of the kitchen to look towards the living room.

Yudai and Ichiri were still studying at the table. As for Yamada Ryo, she had taken his original seat, but she was not reading. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and put on headphones. Judging from the way she kept swiping upwards, she must be watching short videos.

The other person noticed the gaze coming from the kitchen and made a scissors hand gesture as a greeting with an expressionless face.

Suzumiya Chisato shrugged and turned back to the stove.

"Cooking is not relaxing at all. Go sit down and rest for a while like Ryo."

"No, cooking is actually quite stress-relieving for me."

"Decompression?"

Suzumiya Chisato couldn't understand such an answer.

"Yes."

Ichichi Hongxia explained fluently,

“It’s very relaxing and rewarding to combine a variety of ingredients to make a delicious dish.”

If you insist, it is true.

"In that case, please help me. Don't force yourself."

"No, I really like cooking. By the way, I also have something to talk to Qianli-kun."

So this is the purpose. I was wondering why Hongxia felt a little weird today.

Suzumiya Chisato thought about it, pretending to be unaware and handed an apron to Ichichi Kougaka, saying jokingly,

"So, what's the matter? I guess you're not here to complain about the recent workload."

"How could that be? I am very happy and cherish the fact that I have come this far with you all. If possible, I hope this kind of life can continue forever. It would be great if it lasts my whole life. How could I complain?"

Got a very serious answer.

Ichichi Hongxia took the potatoes and began to peel them, and continued,

"I just feel that after you established the company, Suzumiya-kun, you haven't been spending as much time with us as before. Now that we finally have this rare opportunity, I just want to talk to you."

She said this very naturally.

But this caused Suzumiya Chisato to look at her in surprise. When he noticed that her expression did not show the emotions he thought she had, he withdrew his gaze with a sense of relief.

"It's not that exaggerated. I feel that the relationship between us is not much different from before."

"Yeah, maybe that's just my opinion."

Ichichi Hongxia smiled slightly.

My sister didn't come home all night last night. She said she went to spend the night at Sister Hiratsuka's house. She didn't come back until this morning when she was about to leave.

Looking at her sleepy eyes and the obvious smell of alcohol on her body, I knew that she had been drinking late again after a long time.

Under normal circumstances, this would not have caused Hongxia to have any special thoughts, but after she heard the secret last night that her sister had someone she loved, the situation was completely different.

Hong Xia tossed and turned in bed for a long time last night, thinking about her sister's confession, but her mind was in a daze and she couldn't come to any conclusion.

For so many years, my sister has been taking care of her on behalf of my deceased mother. She has never had her own personal life and has always focused on herself.

Now she seems to have found her ideal partner, which should be something to be happy about. As a younger sister, she should have given her sincere blessings and actively provided advice to her sister...but why must it be Suzumiya-kun?

It’s not that I have a crush on him... I do have a crush on him, but it’s just a reasonable emotion within the scope of friendship.

The main problem is that he is Pochi-chan's boyfriend!

Although the relationship between the two of them is somewhat complicated, there are quite a few other women involved...

But even so, Ijichi Hongxia couldn't imagine that her dearest sister and best friend, the two of them, were following a man at the same time... having that kind of relationship.

That's just so weird!

Being sandwiched between the two of them, she felt extremely weird just imagining that situation.

Although Yamada Ryo had advised her before that her sister was a rational adult, and so was Suzumiya-kun, there was a high probability that something worrying would not happen between the two of them.

However, there is always a chance of something happening... What if something happens? What if that situation really happens, and the team that I cherish so much now... falls apart because of it? What if that happens?

Although Pochi-chan didn't say it, she was dissatisfied with her sister for interfering. Her sister's attitude towards Pochi-chan became worse and worse for similar reasons. As a result, a rift began to appear between the two of them. It seems possible that they disliked each other and even developed an offline real-life fight.

Ijichi Hongxia knew that her thoughts might be a little jumpy, but she couldn't stop her thoughts from continuing to diverge. This was because she cared too much about everyone, not only her sister, but also her friends around her.

She didn't want to leave any hidden dangers between everyone, and it was this uneasiness that made her unable to remain indifferent and wanted to do something within her ability.

As for her sister, she didn't have the confidence that she could find out the other party's specific thoughts without exposing herself, but if she were to face the other person in this incident, the situation would be completely different.

So what we need to do now is to find out what Suzumiya-kun is thinking. If he has no such intention towards his sister, then everything will be fine.

"I, I say, Suzumiya-kun."

"Hongxia, why are you stuttering all of a sudden?"

"Ah! No, I just bit my tongue accidentally."

"I bit my tongue... Are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry about it. I've actually been wanting to ask a question."

"Why do you seem so nervous all of a sudden? You don't have to be so formal with me. Just be casual."
