Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Chapter 57 Chapter

In the dark night, feeling the soft and boneless hands, Hachiman gradually fell asleep. He thought he would have nightmares as usual, but tonight was a little special.

This dream was warmer and more comfortable, as if being in the summer ocean.

"Hikigaya-kun... do you like me..." Gradually, a figure appeared in front of him. He looked carefully and it seemed to be Yukino.

"I like it..." he answered in a low voice, but as the figure got closer, he found that the other person's face was more mature than Yukino, and she was not wearing an expensive kimono, but a familiar set of pajamas, which were Saki's pajamas.

Hachiman wanted to move, but found that he seemed to be sleep-paralyzed and could not move at all. The figure gradually leaned against him. The mature woman had a unique fragrance on her body. It was not just his imagination, but he could really smell it with his nose.

Hachiman noticed her red lips, which were bright and beautiful. She spoke softly in his ear, but Hachiman could no longer hear what she was saying. Then those red lips kept rubbing his cheeks and neck.

His breathing gradually became heavier, and he said, "Don't... do this..."

Hachiman wanted to call out her name, but he had forgotten it.

"Hikigaya-kun, you've already reacted. How interesting." The woman said in his ear. He didn't know when, the bright-colored woman had taken off her pajamas in front of him, and then she sat in front of Hachiman.

The feeling of happiness came like waves, until he groaned.

Then his eyes opened, Hachiman's eyes widened, and the bright sunlight shone on his forehead.

How many flowers have fallen in the dream? Between my nose, there is the commotion of a woman’s hair.

Hachiman looked down and saw Mrs. Yukinoshita sleeping.

He remembered what happened yesterday and thought about what happened in his dream. He felt very complicated and ashamed.

At this moment, Mrs. Yukinoshita opened her eyes and looked at him, as if she was recalling something. Mrs. Yukinoshita's eyes were a little hazy at first, then surprised, but she quickly calmed down.

"I'm going to take a shower." Mrs. Yukinoshita said in a low voice.

The warm palm loosened.

"Then I'll go prepare breakfast." Hachiman just wanted to find a reason to leave as soon as possible. Fortunately, Mrs. Yukinoshita seemed to remember why he slept with her.

After Hachiman left Mrs. Yukinoshita's room, he did not go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast as he had said. Instead, he immediately returned to his room, took out clean clothes and underwear, and then went to the bathroom. He took off his underwear, looked at the stains on it, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He quickly threw the underwear into the washing machine and turned on the hot water.

He knew very well that he did not like and love Mrs. Yukinoshita as much as he did Yukino, but after several close contacts with the lady, her fragrance, graceful figure, and soft and delicate skin made the young man feel moved. It was useless to deceive himself, especially after Mrs. Yukinoshita admitted her cowardice last night, the image of her in his mind changed subtly, and he had to admit that he had desires for her.

He came to a conclusion for himself and felt a little ashamed, but it was actually okay. He always believed that the difference between humans and animals is that humans have rationality that can control animal desires.

He started from emotion but ended with courtesy. If possible, he would stay away from Mrs. Yukinoshita in the future.

In fact, from a third-party perspective, Hachiman did not have any big problems at this time. Many high school students would take the first non-blood-related mature woman who appears in his life as the object of sexual enlightenment, whether it is a female teacher or an aunt he is familiar with. Hachiman's way to get rid of this emotion is very simple, just get a girlfriend.

But the trouble is that Hachiman's nominal girlfriend, Yukino, is unable to fulfill her duties as a girlfriend, including satisfying the desires of a young man.

After taking a quick shower, Hachiman changed into clean clothes and went to the kitchen. He boiled a pot of hot water and cooked noodles. He took tomatoes and eggs out of the refrigerator, stirred the eggs and stir-fried them in a frying pan, then added the tomatoes. After the tomatoes were cooked through, they began to marinate. At this time, the noodles were also ready. They were the slightly hard noodles that Mrs. Yukinoshita liked. Even though he didn't want to, after living together for half a month, he understood each other's tastes and habits. After putting the noodles in a bowl, he poured the toppings on it.

Two bowls of fragrant tomato and egg noodles were ready. Hachiman brought the noodles out. Mrs. Yukinoshita came down at the right moment. Her bright yellow kimono looked particularly outstanding. The woman seemed to have recovered from the turmoil of last night. Her meticulous appearance and dignified and stern expression remained unchanged from the past.

For a moment, Hachiman was reminded of the drunk Mrs. Yukinoshita last night. She was more charming and playful then, which was very different from now.

But that was his drunken look, and Hachiman thought he probably wouldn't be able to see it again from now on.

"Come and have breakfast." Hachiman put the noodles down on the tray.

"Did Hikigaya-kun take a shower too?" Mrs. Yukinoshita asked, looking at Hachiman's still slightly wet hair.

"Yeah." Although it was difficult to say, Hachiman answered as if nothing had happened.

Mrs. Yukinoshita didn't seem to intend to ask any more questions. The two sat opposite each other and ate noodles in silence. Just when Hachiman felt that the taste was a little bland and reached out for pepper, he touched another warm palm.

Hachiman looked up and found that the other person was also looking at him. Both of them drew their hands back at the same time and continued to eat noodles in silence. Neither of them dared to pick up the pepper again.

The atmosphere became a little awkward, as if the young man and woman had just experienced their first time in a hotel. They were familiar with each other yet slightly unfamiliar, and there was still a lingering feeling of shyness.

Perhaps both parties felt this subtle atmosphere, so they stopped talking. Finally, after finishing the noodles, Mrs. Yukinoshita wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, then stood up, said hello to Hachiman, and left the mansion, ending the awkward atmosphere. However, due to the relatively sufficient sleep last night, Yukinoshita Kiyoshi was in much better condition today.

Even Hachiman could see this, which made him feel that what happened last night was not entirely a bad thing.

Hachiman went about his daily routine as usual. He went to the hospital to accompany Yukino, then returned to the Yukinoshita residence to study, and then prepared dinner and waited for Mrs. Yukinoshita to come back. He felt like a househusband, but he had given up this fantasy. His current dormancy was only to better cope with the future.

As night fell, Hachiman went to bed on time at eleven o'clock, looking at the ceiling silently. He didn't know when the door of Hachiman's room opened gently. He subconsciously turned his back to the door, as if he had fallen asleep and didn't know the door was opened.

The door was closed gently, and then someone slowly got on his bed and lay beside him, but did not speak.

But the faint, orchid-like fragrance has already exposed the other party's identity.

They all knew that such behavior was inappropriate, but they also knew that it was necessary.

Kiyoyuki Yukinoshita needs to get enough sleep to deal with the crisis of the Yukinoshita family, and Hachiman must help the Yukinoshita family to survive.

The night is so quiet that people can't bear to disturb it.

It seems that it is impossible to stay away from each other as much as possible, Hachiman thought to himself.

Chapter 58 Chapter

It was another morning. The long hair gently scratched Hachiman's cheeks and nose, causing him to slowly open his eyes. The woman next to him had already gotten up. She had a hairband in her mouth and was tidying up her hair behind her with both hands.

This action, in Hachiman's opinion, is very girlish.

"Sorry, Hikigaya-kun, did I wake you up?" Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki said softly.

Hachiman raised himself up, then said, "No, it's about time you wake up... I'll help you."

After saying that, Hachiman stretched out his right hand and lifted up Mrs. Yukinoshita's hair. Mrs. Yukinoshita then had a free hand to pick up the hairband and tie her hair up.

"Thank you." Mrs. Yukinoshita thanked softly.

This scene is actually very strange. A man and a woman with a generation difference in age sleep in the same bed and even comb each other's hair when they get up.

But they all knew that there was no ambiguous relationship, and their clothes were intact and could be said to be pure and innocent. It was just a measure taken to ensure that Mrs. Yukinoshita had a good sleep quality.

Ever since that night when Mrs. Yukinoshita took the initiative to get into Hachiman's bed and he acquiesced, this behavior has continued until now. He doesn't even have the embarrassment of getting up at the beginning, it's like he just helped her to tidy up her hair today.

"It's quite cold today, remember to wear more clothes." Yukinoshita Kiyoshi got out of bed and reminded softly.

"I remember." Hachiman responded softly, but still did not move until Mrs. Yukinoshita left the room and returned to her room to take a shower and change clothes as usual.

Hachiman then got out of bed and looked at his physiological reactions in the morning. Although he was used to it, he couldn't control some reactions. This was actually a proof of his health.

But the two of them are innocent, Hachiman emphasized again in his mind.

What surprised him was that after the two of them "slept together", not only Mrs. Yukinoshita, but even he himself suffered from insomnia less often. He didn't know why, but maybe it was simply that the guilt for the murder began to dissipate in his heart.

He went into the bathroom to clean up and let the reactions slowly subside, then Hachiman put on a thick coat. Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, he knew it might snow in the next two days. Besides, Christmas was approaching.

While eating breakfast, Hachiman said to Mrs. Yukinoshita, "Yukino has been doing well lately. I think she will be discharged from the hospital soon."

Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki put down her chopsticks, looked at Hachiman, and said sincerely: "That's great, when can you be discharged from the hospital?"

"I'm not sure yet, I'll go ask the doctor."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki said calmly. After finishing breakfast, she left the Yukinoshita residence and went to the company.

When Hachiman was cleaning up the dishes, he realized belatedly that Mrs. Yukinoshita seemed a little unhappy today.

This is a very subtle intuition, which allows you to directly read the other person's emotions after you have become familiar with each other to a certain extent.

Or maybe I was just overthinking it. After all, I didn't offend her.

Ah, no, last night when she was sleeping, her right leg seemed to have accidentally pressed on her stomach. She didn't wake up until she had difficulty breathing and pushed herself away. Hachiman then withdrew his thigh apologetically, but didn't Mrs. Yukinoshita say she didn't mind?

Confused, Hachiman put the question aside for the time being. After all, he wasn't sure whether his wife was really angry.

After he packed his things, he left the Yukinoshita residence. As soon as he stepped out of the door, a biting cold wind blew on his cheeks, causing him to shiver. He blew gently and white mist came out. Many shops along the way had hung up festive lights and small Christmas trees. The whole street was filled with a festive atmosphere, and he couldn't help but smile.

He took a bus from the bus stop and quickly arrived at the hospital. Even in front of the empty square of the hospital, workers had begun hanging a huge Christmas tree.

He came to Yukino's ward, but found that the girl was not sitting in a chair reading as usual, but sleeping on the bed. Hachiman heard some coughing sounds and there was a nurse next to her holding a thermometer.

"Yukino, what's going on?" he asked anxiously.

The girl was lying on the bed. When she saw Hachiman coming, she said, "Good morning, Hikigaya-kun."

"Do you have a fever?" He nodded slightly and continued to ask.

The nurse next to me took a look at the thermometer and said, "37.2℃, a low fever. The doctor said it's not a big problem. You need to rest well."

"Why do you suddenly have a fever? Weren't you fine when I came yesterday?" Hachiman asked.

The girl gently pulled up the quilt, covering half of her face and leaving only her eyes exposed. She said as if somewhat ashamed, "I accidentally kicked off the quilt last night and caught a cold."

So cute........

Hachiman couldn't help but laugh: "You're still kicking the quilt at this age."

"It's not like I wanted to kick you. I just fell asleep." Yukino said as if a little indignant.

When the nurse saw this situation, she didn't want to stay and continue eating dog food, so she said a few words and left.

"I want to go to bed, Hikigaya-kun." After chatting for a while, Yukino said softly.

"Well, go to sleep. I'll watch you." Yukino's mental state has become more and more stable recently, which makes Hachiman very happy.

Just a delicate hand stretched out from under the quilt.

"Hold my hand, otherwise I can't sleep." Yukino said shyly.

Hachiman said "hmm", then held the girl's warm hand tightly, and the girl smiled.

Suddenly, Hachiman felt a strong sense of guilt and remorse. He had been sleeping in the same bed with Mrs. Yukinoshita these days. Although it was innocent, it was also a betrayal to Yukino.

Hachiman found that the more he cared about Yukino, the more things he would do to let her down.

But despite this, Hachiman did not intend to give up.

"Christmas is coming soon." Yukino said in a soft voice.

"Yeah, so you need to get better soon."

"Christmas is coming soon." Yukino repeated again, as if hinting at something.

"You want turkey?"

"Stupid, it's a gift. You need to prepare gifts for Christmas."

"I know, I don't need you to remind me. You sound so deliberate when you say that."

"snort....."

"By the way, did the doctor say when you can be discharged from the hospital?"

"Well, just after Christmas."

There were not many days left, and suddenly, he thought of a problem. If Yukino was discharged from the hospital, she would naturally go home. Then, it would be impossible for her and Mrs. Yukinoshita to sleep together again.

Hachiman didn't leave the hospital until Yukino slowly fell asleep.

Chapter 59 Chapter

Just like the gloomy weather, the atmosphere in the president's office of Yukinoshita Construction Company was also somewhat low.

"Didn't I already tell you that for each type of building material, we must find at least two suppliers to compare quotations, even if they are outside Chiba? It's already the end of the month, can't we even complete such a simple task?" Mrs. Yukinoshita's tone was not heavy, but her always majestic temperament made her subordinates sweat on their backs.

"Yes, I'm very sorry, tomorrow... No, I will organize all the quotations for you to see before the end of get off work today." The department manager said nervously.

"Also, the land of Hachioji..."

"The Xinyuexuan property..."

For the first time in a long time, they felt the president's iron fist, which made them gasp in amazement.

"Okay, all of you go down and sort out the things you have on hand. I don't want the next meeting to be the same as today."

The heads of various departments responded quickly. They had previously thought that Mrs. Yukinoshita, as the president, had become silent due to the death of her husband, but they did not expect that she would suddenly go all out today, catching them off guard.

The subordinates all lowered their heads. Mrs. Yukinoshita felt that today was a relief from her previous decadence and she felt somewhat satisfied.

"Wow, mother looks so handsome today."

Yukinoshita Haruno was not a "subordinate", so she did not follow him out, but praised him without any respect.

But Mrs. Yukinoshita didn't give her a good look at all, and asked calmly: "Why does Hikigaya-kun have the key to my room? I don't believe that child would do something like stealing."

"What about that child...it seems like mother is quite doting on him now. As his daughter, I'm jealous." Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile.

"Stop giving me that shit and answer me!" Mrs. Yukinoshita said majestically.

"Oh no... If I had known that I would be the first person to come and settle the score with my mother after she recovered, I would not have given the key to Hikigaya-kun." Yukinoshita Haruno sat on the president's desk, gently shaking her bright white legs.
