I have bound two systems.

Although a winter vacation had passed, the classmates in the class were very excited to get together after reuniting for a while and quickly became lively, sharing their experiences and interesting things during the New Year with each other.

But this situation, which almost happens to most people, will not be replicated in Yukinoshita Yukino.

In short, it was because she didn't have any friends in her class who were close enough to her to open up to and talk about anything.

The classmates in the class are just classmates.

However, the fundamental reason for this situation was not malicious bullying. That kind of thing only happened when she was in elementary school.

Her mind was not yet mature at that time, so she could only endure it silently for a period of time. However, it was probably because of the influence of her experiences during that period that she now has a mature mindset far beyond that of her peers.

At least for herself, she has no dissatisfaction or resentment about her past, but lives every day of her life positively.

During the New Year, most of the students in the class seemed to have good things happen to them, such as the whole family traveling to some tourist attraction and staying in a luxurious hotel, or visiting a shrine on the first day after the New Year, or successfully dating someone they liked and successfully confessing their love to that person, thus establishing a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, or getting a lot of New Year's money and finally being able to clear out all the items in their online shopping carts.

In short, during the first period of school, everyone in the class was chattering, and this lively and energetic situation lasted for quite a long time.

Yukinoshita Yukino still seems out of place, this is how she is seen by others.

She was not affected by the lively environment at all. In the new semester, she behaved the same as before. She did not integrate into the group, but just sat quietly in her seat, holding various reading materials with her back straight and reading seriously. There seemed to be a transparent cover around her, making her look somewhat out of place.

Although many beauty-loving girls who secretly observe her are unwilling to admit it, it is undeniable that Yukinoshita Yukino is still so dignified and beautiful in the new semester. Her cold and indifferent temperament that is detached from the mundane world really makes it impossible for her peers to replicate and imitate her.

It's pretty frustrating, but there's nothing you can do about it.

But even for such a girl like Yukinoshita Yukino, she actually had some happy memories during this not-so-long winter vacation.

It's not about material things, it's about emotions.

The day after the New Year, she was invited to Yuigahama Yui's house as a guest, and Isshi Iroha was also there.

After dinner in the evening, the three of them went to a nearby hot spring bathhouse to take a bath. During the bath, her delicate little face turned red as she tried her best to resist the slightly hot water temperature, while listening to the other two friends chatting and laughing about fashion, beauty and clothing.

After that, she did not go home at night, but stayed overnight at Yuigahama's house.

In fact, for many people, this is not a big deal. After all, it is just a very common thing to stay overnight at a friend's house.

However, this is indeed the first time for Yukinoshita Yukino, so this memory is quite meaningful and worthy of her cherishing and keeping it well in the treasure box of memory so that she can take it out and savor it intermittently in the future.

What Yukinoshita Yukino didn't expect was that not long after the new semester started, a similar incident happened again.

"Senior Yui, Senior Yukino~ Let's go out and play together!"

It was lunch break as usual, and the service department was filled with the faint aroma of black tea as usual.

Isshi Iroha excitedly made this suggestion to Yuigahama Yui who was struggling to fill out the "Graduation Expectation Development Questionnaire" and Yukinoshita Yukino who was quietly reading a book.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked up at Isshiki Caiyu, not understanding why Isshiki Caiyu, who had just been concentrating on browsing her phone, suddenly had such an idea.

If I have to say, she is a "cat-type" girl. Unlike Isshia Iriha and Yuigahama Yui, who are also "dog-type", she prefers quietness. Unless it is necessary, she still prefers to stay quietly in a familiar and reassuring place, reading a book by herself or watching a movie with friends.

But after all, Isshiki had already made a suggestion and had an expectant look in his eyes, so she thought about it and decided to close her book for the time being.

Yuigahama Yui, who was worrying about filling out the questionnaire, breathed a sigh of relief. Isshiki's sudden words gave her a reason to take a break. It couldn't be better time. Anyway, the teacher had said that it should be handed in by next Wednesday at the latest. There was still time. She could just go home and think about it slowly tonight.

"Where do you want to go, Iroha-chan?"

"kindness……"

Isshiki Caiyu thought about it, moved her stool to the two of them and sat down.

"It's up to you two seniors to decide. I don't really care."

Yukinoshita asked in confusion.

"That is to say, Isshiki, you haven't decided where and when you want to go."

Isshiki nodded quickly.

"Well, after all, we are going out together, so I thought we should discuss it together. I checked the weather forecast, and the weather has been quite good recently, which is very suitable for everyone to go out and relax together."

Yuigahama Yui really likes this kind of activity with good friends. In addition, the more important entrance exams after the new semester have already been marked, so she has not had much pressure recently. Without any worries, her interest has been quickly aroused.

"Indeed, come to think of it, our original trip to the amusement park was cancelled due to some unexpected events..."

Yuigahama stopped talking halfway before looking at Yukinoshita to observe her reaction.

Like Isshiki, she also enjoys friends' fun activities outside of school, and understands everyone's plan to go out and play together. The only obstacle is Yukinoshita's own wishes.

"Well, that's true...but wouldn't it be a bad idea to relax too much when school just started?"

After Yukinoshita finished speaking, she took the black tea from the table and took a sip.

Isshiki and Yuigahama looked at each other with somewhat complicated expressions upon hearing this.

This statement is indeed in line with Yukinoshita Yukino's personality.

Isshiki naturally knew Yukinoshita's quiet personality. Last time, she and Yuigahama had to work hard to get her to nod reluctantly.

But it doesn't matter. Thanks to an older sister who gave advice behind the scenes, she is quite confident that she can convince Yukinoshita Yukino to follow her advice and go out together.

"The entrance exams have just ended, and Yui-senpai and I both got pretty good grades. Studying is important, but we also have to combine work with rest. And I don't really want to go to the amusement park this time. Just shopping doesn't seem to be that interesting... I haven't been to the zoo for a long time, so I was thinking, how about we make an appointment at the zoo this weekend? I remember Yukino-senpai really likes small animals."

Isshi Iroha's speech was actually not very good, with some pauses in the middle. At least Yuigahama Yui could see that she was a little unnatural.

But after hearing the word "zoo", Yukinoshita Yukino was instantly moved, and ignored the unnaturalness of Isshiki's words. She put down the tea in her hand and uttered a silent "hmm".

"We can go see the pandas then. If we're lucky and the pandas are very close to us, maybe I can take a photo of Yukino-senpai and the pandas..."

Isshiki had a bright smile on his face, but the words he whispered into Yukinoshita's ear were very gentle, but on the contrary, they were extremely lethal.

Just like a child getting the toy candy he had been longing for, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Compared to an amusement park, a zoo is indeed a better choice. You can observe the mentality of various animals up close, and you can also see detailed information about them on various signboards."

Yukinoshita Yukino's face was red, and it was unclear whether it was because she was particularly moved by Isshiki's proposal, or because of her own words that were somewhat insincere.

However, after hearing her say this, Yuigahama and Isshiki naturally understood that she meant to agree.

Isshiki Caiyu secretly laughed in her heart.

It's exactly as that sister said, Yukino-senpai couldn't resist the temptation to go see the pandas.

By the way, we didn't even use the backup plan. We originally thought that the zoo route wasn't feasible, so we decided to go to a cat cafe.

At this moment, Isshiki Caiyu was sincerely grateful to Yukinoshita Haruno in her heart.

Although he didn't quite understand why she cared about him so much, she still came up to him and gave him advice when he was complaining casually that he felt he had less and less interaction with his seniors recently.

However, there is nothing wrong with understanding that this behavior is undoubtedly well-intentioned.

"Then it's decided. The three of us will go to the zoo together this weekend..."

"Wait a moment Yui-senpai, I want to bring an extra senior with me."

"Senior? Which one...ah, is it Suzumiya-kun?"

Yuigahama reacted immediately.

Isshiki said in a cheerful voice,

"Yeah, it's more fun when there are more people. It would be more relaxed if we had a boy with us. We could ask him to help get some things or something."

"Haha, I feel a little embarrassed to trouble him..."

"No problem. Senior is a very gentleman. He will most likely ask to help us with that thing when the time comes."

"..."

He will come too...

Yukinoshita Yukino did not participate in the subsequent discussion.

She quietly opened the book she had closed.

Come to think of it, it seems like I haven't said hello to him in recent times.

----

Just as Isshi Iroha said, this Sunday was a good day with a suitable temperature outside and plenty of sunshine that made me feel warm and comfortable.

Chisato Suzumiya got up at around eight in the morning, took a shower and was preparing breakfast when the doorbell rang.

After opening the door, Isshiki Caiyu walked in without any hesitation.

"Didn't we agree to meet at the destination?"

Suzumiya Chisato looked at Isse who was changing her shoes while leaning against the wall. She was wearing cropped pants and a white shirt today, which paired with the white sneakers made her look youthful and eye-catching.

"Maybe it's because I woke up early because I was so excited to hang out with my seniors after such a long time, so I thought I'd come straight to you and go with Yukino-senpai... What smells so good?"

"It's bacon and fried eggs in the pan. Did you have it this morning?"

Suzumiya Chisato said as she walked towards the kitchen.

Isshiki changed his shoes and followed him.

"I ate it, but I still want to try out the cooking skills of my senior."

"The bacon is a semi-finished product, and the eggs are simply fried in oil and sprinkled with a little salt."

"Oh, forget it then."

Isshiki poked his head into the frying pan.

"But it's okay for you to only eat this much in the morning, Senior."

"Another glass of milk will be enough. I can't eat much in the morning."

"Do you need my help?"

"The biggest help I can give you is just sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room and waiting."

"Hehe~"

Isshiki was in a good mood today, and he obediently ran to the living room with his hands behind his back.

Suzumiya Chisato turned off the stove and brought her breakfast to the table before starting to eat. She glanced towards the living room and saw Isshiki squatting on the balcony playing with Dark Wing.

The two seemed to be getting along pretty well. Isshiki placed the walnut pieces in his palm while Dark Wing lowered his head and ate slowly. The man and the bird got along very harmoniously.

Seeing this, Suzumiya Chisato ignored them.

After a while, he finished his breakfast and on his way back to his room, he said hello to Isshiki who was taking a selfie with his bird.

"I'll go back to my room, change my clothes and then leave."

Hearing this, everyone became excited and raised their hands high.

"I can choose clothes for you to wear when you go out. I'm not bragging, but I have a pretty good eye for beauty."

"That's not necessary."

"Tsk~ The temperature will be quite high at noon today, so it's best not to wear too many clothes."

Although his desire to see the specific situation in his senior's closet was dashed, Isshiki still gave a hint loudly.

"understood."

Suzumiya Chisato simply replied and walked out of the room after a while.

"Let's go."

He said to Isshiki Iroha who was looking at him intently.

Isshi Caiyu smiled reservedly, suppressed the anticipation in her heart, nodded and stood up.

"Come to think of it, today we're just going to the zoo for a walk and then back."

"Senior, if you want to arrange other activities, we don't mind."

"Let's talk about it later."

Chisato Suzumiya pressed the doorbell of Yukinoshita Yukino's apartment.

"Come on, come on..."

Through the door, one can faintly hear lively responses.

Um…wait, the sound of energy?

Just when Suzumiya Chisato was puzzled, the door was pushed open.

"Hey Isshiki-chan, and you, nice to see you again, Suzumiya-kun."

Yukinoshita Haruno, who was dressed neatly and had her right hand on the door handle, was smiling particularly happily.
