I have bound two systems.

"Well, bye, and be safe on your way back."

Isshiki looked at her and asked,

"Sister Yang Nai, aren't you coming with us?"

Yang nodded.

"I'll be with my mom later, don't worry about me."

"Is that so? See you later, Sister Yang Nai."

"kindness."

After saying this, Yang Noi turned and walked into the restaurant.

Chisato Suzumiya watched her leaving and was the last one to enter the elevator.

Without Yang Nai's companions, the four people walked to the road towards the tram station and the content of their conversation became much more casual.

Isshi Iroha and Yuigahama Yui happily praised the deliciousness of tonight's food. Looking at them, Yukinoshita Yukino had a faint smile on her lips.

A small unexpected incident happened when they were almost at the train station. Two men walking together came towards them and started chatting with Isshi Iroha and Yuigahama Yui.

When Suzumiya Chisato was about to step forward and wave her hand to disperse them, Isshi Iroha took the initiative to hug Suzumiya Chisato's arm and took the initiative to swear that her sovereignty had been determined.

Then the two men's eyes were focused on Yuigahama Yui, whose breasts were quite lethal. So, at Isshiki's eye signal, although she was shy, she took the initiative to lean to the other side of Suzumiya Chisato and tightened his coat with both hands.

Upon seeing this, the two people who were trying to approach him turned around and went to look for other targets.

One more thing to mention is that it's not that they have no interest in Yukinoshita Yukino, but the stern, cold and unapproachable aura around Yukinoshita makes them know that this is definitely not someone they can conquer, so they don't even bother trying, which shows that they are quite self-aware.

"There's no need to be so troublesome about this matter. Just let me handle it."

"It's because you're so slow to react, so I have to figure it out on my own."

"I'm sorry, Suzumiya-kun."

Yuigahama Yui loosened her hand and took a step back shyly.

She didn't know what was going on just now, she just followed Yi Se's instructions and did it.

But looking back now, although it was forced by the situation, it still felt a little wrong.

Obviously, I can just refuse with a righteous attitude, or I can ask Yukino for help...

"It's okay. It's not the first time I've been bothered by Isshiki, right?"

Suzumiya Chisato's obvious joke made Isshi Iroha pout in dissatisfaction.

It also made Yuigahama Yui, who was nervous, feel a little relieved.

After watching the two of them get on the train one after another, Suzumiya Chisato and Yukinoshita Yukino got on the train home together.

There were a lot of people on the train, so after getting on the train, Chisato Suzumiya and Yukinoshita Yukino stood very close to each other. She also noticed that Chisato Suzumiya intentionally or unintentionally expanded the space in front of her to make it easier for Yukino to stand.

In the past, I would inevitably get a headache when I was in a crowd, but today, I don’t know why the feeling has improved.

Everything was harmonious, and the two did not speak a word during the entire ride on the tram.

Twenty minutes later, the two got off the tram, walked to the apartment building, and got on the tram together. Only then did they begin to talk intermittently.

"Thank you for the dinner tonight. It was delicious."

Yukino looked at Chisato Suzumiya who was looking up at the elevator floor display screen, and after a silent chuckle, she turned her head back to the right side.

"It's my sister's treat."

"I've already thanked her before. I thought that if I didn't know you, she probably wouldn't have invited me to such an expensive place for dinner, so I still need to say thank you."

"You are already the president. You should go to places like that to eat quite often, to discuss business and cooperation."

"About this... I haven't been to similar places very often. After all, I am a hands-off boss. The people who really work hard in the company are other people."

Yukinoshita nodded to show that she understood.

At this time, the elevator door opened.

The two walked out of the elevator together.

Yukino's eyes flickered as if she was thinking about something.

When Suzumiya Chisato was about to raise her hand to say goodbye to her, she no longer hesitated and took the initiative to speak,

"I just bought some nice black tea, would you like to try some at my house?"

After Suzumiya Chisato looked at her in surprise, she blushed and added,

"I know this isn't much, but it's at least a token of my gratitude for letting me see the pandas up close today."

In response, Suzumiya Chisato did not refuse, but nodded and replied, "That's troublesome."

Yukino smiled and opened the door of her house first. She quickly changed into slippers, then hurriedly took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet, turned around and squatted down to place them neatly in front of Chisato Suzumiya.

Chisato Suzumiya's Adam's apple moved up and down.

God knows how feminine and seductive her action was when she inadvertently combed her long hair behind her ears while squatting down to get her shoes.

"Please sit down first. I'll make you some tea. Stronger?"

"can."

"There are some snacks at home, do you want some..."

"Forget about this. I'm already very full."

"I think so too."

Yukinoshita took off her coat and went to the kitchen to make tea.

Chisato Suzumiya came to the sofa in the living room and sat down, feeling the touch of the sofa's surface with her palms and looking around the living room.

It was still clean and tidy, with a pleasant fragrance floating in the air, exactly the same feeling that Yukinoshita gave to the outside world.

I always feel like it's been a long time since I last saw the Yukinoshita family. Why do I miss them for some unknown reason?

Suzumiya Chisato didn't have to wait long, Yukinoshita Yukino soon came to the living room with tea.

"Thank you."

Regardless of the scalding heat of the tea, Suzumiya Chisato blew on it a few times and then took a small sip.

Yukinoshita silently observed his expression. After he took a sip, lightly touched her lips with his, and showed a look of surprise, she smiled with relief.

“It tastes great.”

"Someone gave it to Dad. He usually drinks very little so he sent it to me. There's still a lot left. You can take some back later."

"Then I won't be polite."

"It's nothing compared to what you did to me today."

"I've already said that it's nothing..."

"It might be that way for you."

Yukinoshita shook her head and interrupted Chisato Suzumiya.

"I probably like pandas much more than you think, so today's experience is one of the happiest and most memorable experiences in my life."

"It's too exaggerated..."

"It's not an exaggeration at all. This is the reality. My sister knows how much this means to me, so she wanted to take you to a high-end restaurant to express her gratitude."

"..."

There is actually such a consideration in this...

but……

"But you don't look as happy as you say you are."

"..."

"Are you worried about something? Is it related to...the chance encounter with your mother at the restaurant?"

Suzumiya Chisato put down the tea in her hand and asked softly.

…………

Chapter 130: I Can’t Hold On Anymore

Given Chisato Suzumiya's personality of not wanting to meddle in other people's business, he originally had no intention of saying anything more.

But for some reason, when he saw Yukinoshita Yukino in front of him, holding a teacup, stroking the cup with her slender fingers, and a forced smile on her face that seemed to be trying to hide something, he suddenly felt an urge to do something for her.

This impulse came for no reason, but for some reason Chisato Suzumiya did not find it strange, and began to follow her heart.

Yukinoshita Yukino was surprised by Suzumiya Chisato's proactive inquiry and looked over in surprise.

Suzumiya Chisato vaguely understood that her words seemed a little sudden to Yukinoshita, so she turned her eyes away uncomfortably, and the eyes that were originally looking at her also looked elsewhere.

"Um... Sorry, just a casual question."

The implication is that it doesn't matter if you don't answer.

He understood that even in the closest relationships, such as between family members or close friends, there would be private topics that they wanted to hide and not touch. They didn't want to tell anyone else, but just wanted to keep it in their own hearts and digest it silently.

What's more, the relationship between Chisato Suzumiya and Yukinoshita is far from reaching that level.

It's probably just that we have a common secret, which is a little better than ordinary friends.

So considering this, Yukinoshita Yukino chooses to remain silent and pretend that nothing happened. Suzumiya Chisato will not think there is anything wrong, nor will he be dissatisfied with it. He is not that petty.

But the result was unexpected.

After silently looking at Suzumiya Chisato and thinking for a while, Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head slightly, and then spoke in a gentle tone,

"It's definitely related to my mother."

She chose to respond positively to Chisato Suzumiya's question.

This sentence also represents that she is willing to open her heart to Chisato Suzumiya to some extent.

On the way back from the restaurant, Yukinoshita didn't even say such words to Yuigahama and Isshiki.

Of course, it is not ruled out that if the two of them took the initiative to ask and express their concern, she would make the same choice as now.

But it was only a possibility after all. According to Yukinoshita's personality, she would most likely choose to keep silent when faced with such a situation, so...

Now that she chooses to open her heart to me, does that mean that in her subconscious mind, I am someone who is trustworthy and worthy of confiding in?

Forgive me for not being able to help but think this way.

After all, whether it was Yukinoshita taking the initiative to invite him to her house for tea late at night, or her decision not to hide anything from her, it was strongly and explicitly expressing a similar meaning.

Chisato Suzumiya did not sit there and let herself be led by her joyful inner drama.

He took a shallow breath, crossed his hands on his knees, and made a serious expression as if he was listening attentively.

"In fact, when you two sisters left the table, Yuigahama, Isshiki and I were secretly paying attention to your situation."

Yukinoshita's lips curled up. Today was probably the day she smiled the most in recent years.

"So, what did you observe?"

The atmosphere between the two became more casual and gentle, and it seemed that there was nothing that could not be said frankly to each other.

"We were just chatting casually at the time and didn't come to any effective conclusion."

"That was then... So, what about now?"

"Although it's just a guess, I wonder if your mother has had some conflicts with you sisters..."

Suzumiya Chisato stopped there and quietly observed Yukinoshita's expression.

Yukinoshita blinked slowly and put down the tea in her hand.

She looked at Chisato Suzumiya and nodded slightly.

The body movements showed affirmation, but the response was corrected at the beginning.

"To be precise, it's not us sisters, only my sister and mom have some...differences in ideas."

Suzumiya Chisato pursed his lips slightly, his serious attitude showing that he was still listening, motioning her to continue.

Yukinoshita's fingers, which were naturally resting on her thighs, unconsciously slightly contracted and tightened.

I had a similar sense of déjà vu when I was with Chisato Suzumiya in the past.
