I have bound two systems.

Chapter 8 Making a Decision

Chisato Suzumiya came to the bathroom door, stood silently for a moment and listened.

It wasn't that he had any ulterior motives, he was just a little worried. After all, Black Wings had given the warning before, and Isshiki had indeed stayed in the bathroom for a long time. News about accidents caused by overdoing the bath in the bathroom was indeed not uncommon, although most of the people involved in such reports were elderly people.

There was no sound coming from inside, so Suzumiya Chisato thought about it and knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom... Isshiki?"

"Um...senior..."

After waiting for a moment, a faint response came from inside, almost inaudible through the bathroom door. It was obvious that something had happened.

Suzumiya Chisato's heart trembled, and she immediately pushed the door and walked in without hesitation.

----

"I'm sorry...senior..."

Yise was wrapped in a large bath towel, wrapping her body tightly, leaving only a small head exposed. She was squatting in the middle of the bed in the guest room, holding a cup of cold drink just taken out of the refrigerator in both hands. Her cheeks were a blush that would not fade away, and her small and cute earlobes were also rosy as if they were about to drip blood.

She finally came back to her senses, but when she thought about her inappropriate behavior just now, and the process of being rescued from the bathtub while dizzy, and the physical contact she had with her beloved without any clothes to cover herself, her head began to heat and boil, and she began to feel unable to think again.

"You really should apologize. Why didn't you ask me for help as soon as you felt something was wrong?"

Although Suzumiya Chisato's words were full of blame, she reached out and threw a dry towel on Isshiki's head and wiped it gently. This was to block Isshiki's gaze on her and to hide the boiling emotions in her heart.

Pulling the naked Isshiki out of the bathtub wasn't too difficult from a technical point of view considering his physical condition; he just had to be careful about the slippery tiles in the bathroom and not fall.

But on the other hand, psychologically he has to endure too much.

Although he tried his best to avoid sight the moment he entered, and wrapped Isshiki's body with an oversized bath towel as soon as he helped her up, how could he really see nothing in such a small space as the bathroom.

This is a man's passive talent, and there is no way to avoid it.

"I didn't realize it either... I'm sorry, but the bathtub in my senior's house is big and comfortable, and it has a massage function..."

Isshiki muttered to herself in reflection, but as she felt Suzumiya Chisato wiping her hair, she actually didn't have much thought of reflecting.

The unexpected situation that happened to her made her feel somewhat embarrassed and shy, but as she slowly calmed down, she realized that this was a godsend opportunity for her and Suzumiya Chisato to take the next step in their relationship.

She raised her eyes and glanced secretly at Suzumiya Chisato.

Although the other person's hands were gently wiping her hair, his eyes were fixed on the wardrobe, and his expression was as serious as usual.

But no matter how well the other party concealed it on the surface, there was still one place that revealed a sense of incongruity.

That's breathing!

Chisato Suzumiya's breathing rate was noticeably rapid.

And this urgency obviously comes from myself!

This discovery made Isshi Caiyu feel shy, but also very happy. She pursed her lips to avoid showing any signs of being a naive and happy little girl.

"Really? You're not a kid anymore. You're probably past the age where you get curious about new things."

Suzumiya Chisato's tone was normal, but when she noticed that his emotions were not as calm as he appeared to be, she secretly raised the corners of her lips.

His seemingly strict preaching did not make Isshiki take it to heart.

The most important thing now, of course, is...

Isshiki moved slowly and approached Chisato Suzumiya.

"My head is still a little dizzy..."

She ignored the other party's preaching, said these words softly, and slightly loosened the bath towel wrapped around her body.

This move was somewhat risky, and Isshiki was nervous about it, but the opportunity was rare, so she still wanted to seize it.

Suzumiya Chisato stopped what she was doing and looked at her silently.

Isse looked back uneasily and shyly, his brown pupils unusually watery. He stretched out his right hand, which was originally holding the cold drink, and moved it along the bed little by little, his fingertips finally pressing on the corner of Suzumiya Chi's clothes.

"If you feel dizzy, go to bed early."

Finally, Suzumiya Chisato rubbed Isshiki's head harder through the towel.

"I'm going back to my room too, good night."

"Eh?"

Isshiki watched in surprise and shock as Suzumiya Chisato simply stood up, but he couldn't say anything to keep her.

After all, the hint she just gave was the greatest courage she could show at the moment.

And after walking out of the guest room and turning off the lights in the living room, Chisato Suzumiya laughed silently.

He had a very strange feeling towards Isshiki Iroha.

When he saw her in a dazed and helpless state in the bathtub, his heart was slightly moved, and his emotions quickly boiled over. He felt a strong heat in his chest, and his rationality was shaken.

While waiting for him to carry her back to the room, waiting for her consciousness to slowly return from the trance caused by the bath, some of her proactive behaviors inexplicably made his initial thoughts fade away, and were replaced by an indescribable warmth and an inexplicable smile.

strangeness……

But I can't find the reason.

But now is not the time to think deeply about Isshiki's situation.

Chisato Suzumiya returned to her room, closed the door, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

There was no light in the room, and the residual light from the neon lights outside cast his shadow on the floor, dim and faint.

Now is the moment to truly calm down. The nail-biting habit that Chisato Suzumiya had inherited, influenced by a woman wearing black stockings, reappeared on him.

He silently thought about the specific reasons why the second simulation failed.

This is the first time that two simulations have failed in a row.

Among these, in addition to the fact that it is difficult to deal with Yukinoshita Haruno, it is perhaps more because I lack understanding of many aspects of her.

It is indeed a safe choice to try and eliminate incorrect options over and over again.

But there is only one thing: this progress is too slow.

But after seeing Yukinoshita Haruno's side tonight, Suzumiya Chisato didn't have the leisurely mood to drag it on.

He was vaguely aware of one thing when the simulation first began.

This simulation is based on reality. Does this mean that his choices in the simulation can be used as a reference in reality?

In other words, what happens in the simulation may be able to predict the future to some extent?

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated.

He took out his cell phone, swiped his finger, and pulled up Yukinoshita Haruno's contact information.

Chapter 9 I want to know your preferences

Late at night, Yukinoshita Haruno returned home.

After entering the house, she did nothing. She first sighed softly, sat by the entrance and slowly changed into slippers. Then she came to the sofa in the living room and lay down straight without any ladylike manner, burying her head in the soft pillow for a long time without moving.

Different from the cheerful and positive side she showed to the outside world, at this moment she took off her mask and returned to her true self, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams, standing still.

This is closely related to her busy work in recent times.

However, the main reason is the pressure from her family in recent times, the social interactions she has been forced to do due to the situation, and most importantly, she keeps going on dates with someone she has no feelings for.

The combination of all these factors made her physically and mentally exhausted.

She was trying so hard to maintain her mood that she even lost interest in visiting her sister's house these days.

Normally when I am tired, I can use each other to relieve the physical and mental fatigue, but this time... the most useful sister seems to have lost the effect of healing people's hearts.

"Forget it... Mom has let me act like this for so long... It's about time I give in. It's really too much to keep someone hanging without any response..."

In the empty living room, Yukinoshita Haruno's mumbling could be heard.

"I just wonder what kind of expression Jing would have if she knew that her former students were going to walk in front of her?"

She slowly turned over on the sofa, resting her left arm on her forehead, looking at the pure white ceiling, her thoughts continuing to wander.

Judging from my father's current situation and the existing resources of the Yukinoshita family behind him, the possibility of him continuing to be re-elected is very high even without seeking help from others.

But to be on the safe side, and for the Yukinoshita family to break the deadlock and move forward, they must definitely join forces with other families, so that they can turn "a high probability event" into "a certainty that is set in stone."

There is no more stable way of cooperation than marriage between the descendants of two families. This method of connecting the transmission of each other's interests has been passed down from ancient times to the present. Although it is old-fashioned and traditional, it has to be said that it is indeed useful.

As the eldest daughter, she has enjoyed various favorable resources of the Yukinoshita family since she was born.

Whether it was study, material things, hobbies, or even the unreasonable requests she made on a whim as a child, they could all be met.

Enjoying all of this without giving any feedback or reward... This kind of thing is unacceptable from any perspective.

What's worse, even if I could resist, the actual situation would not change.

In the end, the person who had to bear all of this was simply myself, who had changed to Yukino.

Yukinoshita Haruno pursed her lips slightly.

His sister, who claimed to have absolute beliefs in justice, had to take over his burden because of the reality.

That was the only situation she didn't want to see...

"Buzz-"

The phone in my pocket vibrated.

Yukinoshita Haruno's originally dilated pupils turned clear. She slowly took out her cell phone and weakly turned on the screen to check it.

After a while, a smile appeared on her lips and she became more energetic.

She thought it was the person she was not interested in but had no choice but to deal with, but she didn't expect it to be an unexpected guy.

Chisato Suzumiya: [I remember that Sister Yangno likes to drink coffee. Someone just happened to give me some good quality coffee beans. I don’t usually drink much. If you don’t mind, I’ll bring some to you next time.]

Well?

It's already late at night, and he actually sent me such a message. What does this mean?

Yukinoshita Haruno stared at the message sent by Suzumiya Chisato, and after thinking for a moment, she no longer hesitated and directly dialed his number.

It’s a very simple idea. If you don’t understand something, just ask directly.

She didn't have to wait long after dialing the number; the other party answered the call almost instantly.

"Good evening, Sister Yang Nai."

Chisato Suzumiya's gentle voice appeared on the other end of the line.

"Hmm~ Good evening. Good evening."

Yukinoshita Haruno stood up and stretched her waist lazily. She didn't notice that the smile on her face was becoming more and more obvious.

"what's wrong with you?"

"what?"

Suzumiya Chisato pretended to be confused.

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled softly.

"This guy who I have almost no contact with suddenly contacted me at this time without telling me and even said he wanted to give me coffee beans. It's hard not to think too much about it.

"I mean this..."

Suzumiya Chisato pretended to understand what she meant and explained,

"I don't have any idea. I wanted to talk about it when I saw you tonight, but you had friends around you at that time, so I never found an opportunity."

"Oh? Just like that?"

"Yeah, that's all."

Of course this is not the case.

Suzumiya's family does have good quality coffee beans, but they were not given by others. Instead, they were bought by Shiyu specially. She likes to make a cup of coffee while typing... But none of this matters anymore.

There must be a reason why Suzumiya Chisato suddenly sent out such a message. And now, Yukinoshita Haruno's initiative to call him was just the first successful step in his plan.

"Thank you. I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need it. I have too much coffee at home to finish. Next time I have a chance to visit your house, you can make me a cup. It's late now, you should go to bed early."

Yukinoshita Haruno is so smart. Her many years of experience in the workplace have enhanced her ability to read people's expressions. She also vaguely understands that Suzumiya Chisato is deliberately looking for an excuse to talk to her.
