I have bound two systems.

Suzumiya Chisato was satisfied, but still gave a lesson.

"If you are unwilling to do this kind of thing, you should actively refuse it from the beginning."

Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly chuckled. She quite enjoyed the feeling of being lectured like this.

After the current topic was over, she thought of something and immediately asked,

"Speaking of which, I have always felt that there is some secret between you and Yukino-chan. This feeling lasted for a long time, and I didn't find anything until recently. I almost thought it was my illusion, but after this incident, I feel that my initial thought was not wrong."

"I'll tell you about this later if you're still interested."

"Yes, before that, there are indeed more important things to do. You have already met Yukino-chan, right?"

"kindness."

"What did she say?"

Suzumiya Chisato turned her head and thought about it.

"It was a cute reaction, and he didn't seem too angry at me."

"Is that so? That means we concealed it well, and she didn't notice it from the beginning to the end..."

Yukinoshita Haruno crossed her arms across her chest, lost in thought, and began to mutter to herself,

"In that case, it seems that we can use that method again... No, the situation is different... Even if Yukino doesn't know that this is our plan, she has already anticipated the future development. She won't let the situation develop to that extent... So we can't copy it... But if we change it to a compromise plan, maybe it can work..."

When she finished reading, Yang No saw that Suzumiya Chisato was always looking at her with a smile and doting eyes, so she finally stopped talking helplessly, showing a dissatisfied expression.

"You've had other ideas, haven't you?"

Suzumiya Chisato nodded. When she said this, Yotsuba looked unusually childish and quite cute.

"…What are you going to do?"

"Skip all the unimportant steps, shorten the progress, and then...just do your best."

"That's too brief an explanation."

“I don’t have any extra plans.”

Chisato Suzumiya stretched her right hand towards her chest.

"Return sincerity for sincerity, that's all."

"That's really not your style."

"But this is indeed my essence from beginning to end, and then there is ..."

Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes were filled with astonishment, and she was held in Suzumiya Chisato's arms.

Falling into the sudden reassuring embrace, her eyes turned into one of relief and she closed her eyes slightly again.

"I don't want to let you leave again."

Suzumiya Chisato spoke gently.

The final outcome of the simulated life is a happy one for everyone and extremely perfect.

But from Chisato Suzumiya's perspective, there is still some regret.

Among all those regrets, what made him feel most sad was the self-sacrifice that Yang No made in the process.

A sacrifice that was not understood by his family, friends, or even his daughter, and was known only to the two of them.

The limited options in the simulation are destined to only control the specific direction of life.

But in reality there is no such restriction, and life is truly in our own hands.

Therefore, Chisato Suzumiya does not want a similar situation to happen again, and the necessary sacrifices on the road to happiness do not necessarily exist.

If it really has to happen, it shouldn't be borne by anyone around him. He should face it alone.

"So this time, you don't have to intervene, just leave it to me...just leave it all to me."

"What about reassuring words... Can I trust you?"

This question, which was asked by Chisato Suzumiya to her younger sister not long ago, was now asked by her elder sister, seeking reassurance from him.

"Well, I promise you."

From Suzumiya Chisato's serious eyes, Yukinoshita Haruno saw the awareness and confidence that she hoped for.

There was no confusion or hesitation, after all, this was natural.

Yono rested her forehead against his chest, thinking back to their first meeting.

In a fashionable and high-end restaurant, the young man in a neat suit smiled at her.

"Qianli, actually, I was interested in you the first time we met."

"Really?"

"kindness."

"What are your interests?"

"Well, it's a secret."

This time, Yukinoshita Haruno smiled happily, but she didn't intend to answer.

It couldn't be said that her preconceived first impression of him was that he was Ms. Touma Yoko's younger boyfriend.

From any perspective, this idea is too rude.

Chapter 40 Cats as a Bond (Two in One)

That day, it was already six in the evening when we left the Japanese pastry shop.

Chisato Suzumiya held Yukinoshita Haruno's hand, and after reaching a consensus on certain things, their relationship made a breakthrough.

After they left the store, they did not separate.

Instead, he took a lazy stroll along the street corners and the surrounding commercial streets.

During this time, Chisato Suzumiya saw a pet shop opened on the street.

He stopped and stared at the various cute pets in the transparent floor-to-ceiling window. After a moment of hesitation, he walked in with Yukinoshita Haruno.

Not long after, when the two of them came out again, each of them had a cat cage in their free hands.

They are all kittens, and all of them are ragdolls. The kitten in Chisato Suzumiya's hand has dark brown ears, light brown back and tail, and the rest of the body is light gray. The store owner said this is the most classic and popular two-color ragdoll cat.

As for the kitten in Yukinoshita Haruno's hands, it is very distinctive in that the hair around its four little paws is conspicuously white, which is academically called glove-colored ragdoll in the pet world.

When she made the purchase just now, the store owner kept talking about the cat's pure bloodline and that it was of competition standard, but Suzumiya Chisato didn't take a word of it.

He didn't have any special idea for suddenly wanting to raise a cat, he just wanted to seduce...

cough!

I just want to use these two little guys to attract the attention of Yukinoshita Meowno.

Even if she can still remain reserved towards herself, how should she respond if I use my cat's ultimate move, or we're a pair?

"Is this what you said before, that I should be relieved and leave everything to you? What solution did you come up with?"

“It doesn’t matter if the moves are old-fashioned or not, as long as they work.”

"But you only bought two small cages and a small amount of cat food. Is that really okay?"

"I have other plans for this."

Yukinoshita Haruno understood immediately, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"I don't think Yukino will let you manipulate her so easily, even if you have these two little guys to help you."

"Yeah, I think it's worth a try. Even if it doesn't work out, there will be two more family members at home, which is good for a little more fun, isn't it?"

"Hum~"

"Why are you smiling at me all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing. It's just that boys who like small animals will naturally have a certain attraction to women. Just now, some parts of my body trembled unconsciously."

“Oh~——”

Chisato Suzumiya shifted her gaze from the cat in her hand to Yukinoshita Haruno's face. After catching her smiling face, she slowly looked down again.

"That's a good way to put it."

"Without your eyes H."

"By the way, I have a question."

"The question is dismissed. Go back and make good preparations. Everything will be settled after you have established a relationship with my parents."

"It doesn't matter if it's a little early. Just think of it as an encouragement. People need to taste the sweetness to have the motivation to move forward desperately, right?"

The two were walking to a deserted alley. Seeing that no one was paying attention, Suzumiya Chisato leaned forward, and the hand that Yono was holding with him was also raised and pressed against the wall behind them.

"Damei, some things are better if you wait patiently for a while... But now it feels good to have Qianli-kun appear a little overbearing, so..."

Yukinoshita Haruno stood on tiptoe and gave Suzumiya Chisato a light kiss on the side of her face.

"…Just pay a little interest first, and I'll give you the rest later."

"Give it to me slowly..."

Suzumiya Chisato sighed slightly, revealing an expression that one couldn't tell whether to call disappointment or anticipation.

"You should be satisfied. It's not good to be too greedy. We were planning to have dinner together outside, but since we bought these two little guys, we should go back early."

Yukinoshita Haruno took the lead and dragged him forward.

From an angle that Suzumiya Chisato couldn't see, her beautiful face was rosy all over her cheeks and there was an indelible moisture in her eyes.

Although it didn't reach the level of mouth-to-mouth contact, it was undoubtedly her first kiss.

It's a bit inappropriate that my heartbeat speeds up so fast just by a kiss on the cheek. It seems I'm still far from that.

----

Chisato Suzumiya's ideas are simple and direct, but it is often this kind of straightforward thinking without twists and turns that can achieve the greatest effect.

Two days later, Yukinoshita Yukino dressed neatly, her eyes full of anticipation and excitement, and rang the doorbell of Suzumiya Chisato's house just after eight o'clock in the morning.

The moment it was opened, Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned at first, then immediately lowered her head shyly, not daring to continue staring. It was rare to hear her question in a rather anxious tone,

"What are you doing?"

"It's not normal to take a shower in your own home so early in the morning."

Chisato Suzumiya, who was naked from the waist down, with only a towel around her waist to cover her body, answered without any sense of self-consciousness.

"Put on your clothes before opening the door!"

"Well...but I heard the doorbell ringing very urgently, so I thought, maybe someone came with something urgent."

Such a stupid answer made Yukinoshita Yukino helpless but she had to accept it.

After the little episode of deliberately exposing himself and sacrificing himself in exchange for his sister's cute expression, the two of them went out together and arrived at the largest pet market nearby at around nine o'clock in the morning.

When Chisato Suzumiya bought the two kittens, he chose to ignore the pet shop owner's exaggerated description of the supporting equipment for raising cats and how affordable the prices he offered were. His purpose was naturally for the present moment.

If I had bought all the things at the beginning, how could I have the opportunity to be alone with Yukino now?

Not to mention the sense of "participation" that I gave Yukino unconsciously when buying daily necessities for the cat.

Once the "sense of participation" is achieved, as Yukino visits the cats on a daily basis and her relationship with them warms, the associated sense of "identity" and "belonging" will most likely emerge naturally.

Although it's a bit sorry to say this, but in Suzumiya Chisato's heart, these two cats were meant to serve as a medium for him and Yukinoshita Yukino to get closer from the beginning.

But it doesn’t matter. In return, I don’t even have to do anything. The lovely Miss Yukino will take good care of you for the rest of your life!

"Come to think of it, you haven't named those two little guys yet."

Yukinoshita Yukino was walking on the roadside with Chisato Suzumiya empty-handed, and suddenly remembered this incident.

Beside her, Chisato Suzumiya held several large bags in her left and right hands, which were filled with cat litter, different types of cat food, cat teasers, cat bath detergents, and insect repellent sprays.

There were a lot of things, but with his physical strength, he didn't feel very tired.

"Now that you remind me, it is true."

"Even if it's a cat, it's too pitiful to have no name. Do you have any ideas?"
