Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"Yes, yes, it's been prepared long ago." Hachiman said in a perfunctory voice, then took out a gift box from his pocket and handed it to Yukino.

Yukino's eyes became more lively. She unwrapped the gift without any hesitation, making the salesperson's careful packaging go to waste. Then, after looking at the delicate bracelet with a blue luster, the girl looked at Hachiman with a half-smile.

Hachiman couldn't help scratching his cheek and said a little embarrassedly: "I only have enough money to buy this..."

Although it was called a sapphire, it was just an artificial gem. This kind of thing was not valuable at all. However, he didn't have much cash on him, and he was not willing to ask Mrs. Yukinoshita for it. Even though he knew that she didn't mind, he still felt weird.

I am still young and don’t know the sweetness of free food.

"I like it very much. Help me put it on." Yukino couldn't help but interrupt him. This guy, does he still think that she will care about such an insignificant thing?

After hearing this, Hachiman seemed relieved and less nervous. He took the bracelet. The girl stretched out her right hand at the right time with a faint smile on her face.

He lost his mind for a moment when he saw the smile and was discovered by Yukino, but he heard her scolding him softly, "Idiot."

Only then did Hachiman come back to his senses and quickly put the bracelet on the girl's wrist. He was so nervous that he couldn't find the clasp of the bracelet and was almost sweating.

All of this was seen by Yukino. She admired the bracelet on her right hand, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said, "What a pity! If someone gave me something to wear on my hand instead of a bracelet, I would have agreed to it as well."

Hachiman was stunned for a moment like a fool, and said, "Is it too late for me to go to the shopping street to exchange it now?"

"How can you take back something you've given away? It's too late now." Yukino put her hands behind her back, not giving him any chance, and walked forward briskly.

"Come on, Ms. Yukino, give me a chance." Hachiman hurriedly followed her, carefully holding the umbrella in front of her, and didn't even notice that the snow fell on his shoulder.

Suddenly, Yukino stopped, raised her head and looked at him, her eyes full of joy.

"You're not going to give it to me next Christmas, idiot."

Hachiman felt his cheeks getting a little hot, and there seemed to be warm water flowing in his heart, neither slow nor fast, and it continued for a long time.

The girl seemed to have completely gotten over the sadness of her father's death, so Hachiman's companionship during this period was meaningful.

Hachiman stretched out his hand, as if hinting at something, and Yukino then handed over her hand, and then clasped their fingers together, the way lovers hold each other.

"Let's go." said Yukino.

"Ah, but where to go?" He originally planned to spend Christmas with Yukino in the hospital.

"Do girls need to think about this kind of thing? That's really disqualifying." Yukino said in a "complaining" tone.

"Well, I've never dated another girl alone. Isn't it normal to have no experience?" he said without any shame.

"You haven't even dated Kawasaki-san?" Suddenly, Yukino's voice became very low.

Hachiman thought of the girl who was alone in Tokyo again. How did she spend this Christmas?

He felt a little uncomfortable, but quickly recovered, chuckled at Yukino, and shook his head.

Yukino bit her lip lightly, half lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong, and said, "I'm sorry."

This is probably what makes Yukino Yukinoshita different from ordinary girls. She is also jealous, but she is kinder.

Chapter 62 Chapter

The topic of Shahi gradually became a taboo between the two of them.

For Yukino, it was somewhat guilty to let Hachiman come back to her, but it was absolutely impossible for her to give up Hachiman now.

For the girl who just lost her father, Hachiman at this moment is not only a lover, but also a way for her to make up for the void in her heart after losing her father, so she becomes more attached to him.

Along the snowy road, the black umbrella gradually turned white. I don’t know when it started, but the distance between the two people was getting closer and closer.

"I heard there's a Christmas countdown event in Makuhari New City. How about we go over there?" Hachiman asked.

"Didn't I tell you that everything today is up to you?" Yukino looked at him with a somewhat embarrassed look, but she was in a particularly happy mood.

This guy really has no dating experience, although he doesn't have any either.

They took the bus to Makuhari Beach, where they were greeted by a black coast covered with floating snowflakes and a cold sea breeze. However, just across the street was a neon-colored commercial complex. The colorful lights and music added a lot of warm colors to the street, which had already become a silver world. Perhaps because it was Christmas, it became quite lively here, and there seemed to be more and more people, including many couples and young couples with children.

"Originally I don't like coming to places like this during festivals because there are so many people." Yukino said softly.

"What about now?" Hachiman and Yukino blended into the crowd.

"Now... I'm hungry. That croquette looks delicious." Yukino seemed more lively than usual.

Since it is a commercial complex, there is naturally no shortage of snack streets. In front of a store specializing in selling croquettes, the clerk handed over two croquettes with a smile.

"Here, two guests, be careful, it's hot."

But when giving the money, Hachiman found something embarrassing: he had no money...

Originally, Hachiman had calculated that after buying the bracelet he would have some cash left over to last him for a while, but after buying an apology gift for Mrs. Yukinoshita, his already empty wallet was ruined.

"What's the matter, sir?" The clerk's smile froze a little.

Just when he was getting anxious and his face was blushing, Yukino next to him handed the clerk a thousand-yen bill.

The clerk looked at the young couple who looked like high school students with a somewhat amusement in his eyes, but of course, mostly with kindness.

The two of them each held a croquette and walked forward silently without saying a word, creating a wonderfully awkward atmosphere.

"This croquette is so soft." Yukino said with a hint of sarcasm.

As soft as soft rice.

"Hmm..." Hachiman didn't know how to answer her. Even the croquette that was burning his mouth didn't taste good.

"Hikigaya-kun, this is so embarrassing," Yukino continued calmly.

“Ugh…” It hurts.

As a result, Miss Yukino laughed even more happily, and her shoulders kept shaking. Seeing this, Hachiman became even more embarrassed. He was originally thin-skinned, and he had no way to fight back when being teased. So he just gave up and said with a stern face: "Ah, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I will be your son-in-law in the future. What's wrong with spending your money?"

It seems that Hachiman has really lost his mind to actually say that.

Yukino naturally pursued the attack without hesitation: "In that case, from now on you will be called Yukinoshita Hachiman. Yukinoshita... Hachiman, it's really hard to pronounce. It tarnishes this family name."

Hachiman held her hand and snorted. It was too embarrassing and he just wanted to die together. "Wait, isn't there a prerequisite? Do you want to marry me directly? That's annoying. I haven't even proposed to you yet."

And it seems a little too early for them to get married.

But then Yukino made a decisive move and ended the game: "Isn't this nonsense? Isn't it natural for me to marry you?"

The boy was immediately struck down, and after looking around to make sure there was no one around, he said, "Don't say such embarrassing things, hey."

He didn't realize that these words were usually said by girls. At this moment, his heart was beating very fast and even his breathing became heavier.

But when he looked at the girl who had suddenly become silent, he found that her delicate cheeks, which were as white as the snowflakes at the moment, had turned bright red, and even her ears were not spared, and there was even some crystal mist in her eyes.

"If it's so embarrassing to say it, then don't say it." Hachiman complained strongly.

"Today is Christmas." Yukino said silently.

Hachiman wanted to hug her on the street several times, but in the end he held back because he couldn't save his face.

And this kind of game that makes both people shy should be banned.

"Well, how does your cream-flavored croquette taste?" Yukino suddenly asked.

It seems that this guy really wants to die with her today, Hachiman made up his mind.

"Why don't you try it yourself and know?"

Yukino's hands gently stroked the hair by her ears and tucked them behind her ears, then she stood on her heels and took a bite of Hachiman's croquette.

“It tastes…good.”

Yukino felt that this snowy day was really terrible, she was almost sweating from the heat.

However, her expression remained calm, as if she was not the one who had been teasing her boyfriend just now.

"Oh, how was your croquette?" Hachiman asked.

"Idiot, isn't mine cream-flavored different from yours?" Yukino scolded softly.

Hachiman rolled his eyes and said, "Since you know mine tastes the same as yours, why do you want to taste mine?"

It doesn't make sense.

But Hachiman replied, "Really? I don't believe it."

Hearing him say that, Yukino naturally handed over some of her croquettes, but suddenly a dark shadow appeared in front of her, ignoring the sweet food and aiming at her delicate cherry lips. She froze in place.

The two of them kissed in the street, or rather, Hachiman was kissing unilaterally, which attracted a lot of attention from passers-by.

Some couples with children pointed at them and said, "Mom, someone is kissing."

The child's innocent voice was so loud that the two of them quickly separated, looking at each other sideways on the cheek.

"It tastes different...sweeter." Hachiman said, scratching his cheek.

"Idiot...don't say that." Yukino simply didn't look at the other person, but just pulled Hachiman forward.

But at this moment, someone stopped the two of them. It was a young woman holding a microphone, who looked like a reporter, and there was a man carrying a camera behind her.

The female reporter greeted them warmly: "Hello, I'm a reporter from Chiba TV station, doing a live broadcast of the Christmas special. I just saw your passionate kiss... Oh, sorry, it's too sweet. May I ask if you feel sorry that there is such a heavy snow this Christmas?"

Seeing that Yukino was already covering her cheek in embarrassment, Hachiman thought for a moment and said, "When Yukino is with her lover, she will be immersed in a special atmosphere. I like it very much."

Chapter 63 Chapter

"When I'm with my lover, the snow creates a special atmosphere. I really like it."

Perhaps even those two people did not expect that their appearance at this moment would be broadcast live on TV to thousands of households, including the Yukinoshita family.

Although heavy snow was falling outside, the Makuhari New City in the TV background was bustling with activity and a festive atmosphere.

But the Yukinoshita house was very deserted. Yukino Hachiman was very quiet, and even Haruno had appointments with friends, leaving Kiyoyuki alone watching TV.

I thought it was nice to enjoy such tranquility, but the Christmas special broadcast by Chiba TV happened to film those two people, making Qingxue feel even more lonely at the moment.

"Really? They're showing their affection across the screen." Qingxue, who had just adjusted to her confusing feelings for Hachiman, felt even more complicated.

But more of a relief, they seemed to be getting along pretty well.

That's good... That's good...

But even though she thought so, Yukinoshita Kiyoshi felt an impulse in her heart. Looking at them, it was really stupid for her to be alone in the mansion and feel sorry for herself. Returning to her room, she opened a wardrobe, which was filled with various kimonos. Of course, there were also kimono styles prepared for the cold winter. However, Kiyoshi looked at these traditional costumes and felt a little boring. After thinking about it, she came to Yangno's room. Her height was about the same as Yangno, but her figure was fuller. However, there would be no problem wearing Yangno's clothes.

When you open Haruno's wardrobe, you'll see a wide variety of fashionable clothes. Unfortunately, many of the designs are too bold for Kiyoyuki Yukinoshita.

After all, she hadn't worn anything other than a kimono in years.

Finally, after choosing the right clothes, Qingxue took off her kimono and put them on. Then she let down her long hair that was usually tied up, and her moist black hair, like wet crows, cascading down like a waterfall.

Qingxue looked at herself in the mirror. Her slim-fitting Korean-style narrow-leg pants were wrapped in snow boots. Her pair of tight and plump long legs were hidden but not exposed. The black high-necked wool sweater and burgundy retro jacket made her look trendy and fashionable. At this moment, Qingxue was like a replica of Yang Nai, but with a more mature temperament. She was a high-scoring office lady that would scare passers-by away.

Her skin is as white as cream and her face is as rosy as a peach. She looks much younger than her usual strict and formal kimono, and more like Yang No's sister.

Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki was also a little conceited in her heart. After all, I was no worse than others.

However, it has been a long time since she last thought about dressing up. Looking at herself in the mirror, Qingxue felt that something was missing. Then she took out a matte red lipstick from Yang Nai's dressing mirror and applied it on her lips. Suddenly, she looked more charming.

Only then did Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki nodded with satisfaction, then packed her bag, opened her umbrella and left the house.

Looking at the snowy sky, Qingxue, who was dressed so unrecognizable that no one could recognize her, stretched out her hand and thought to herself.

So, where should we go?

Then, the hustle and bustle in the background of the two people just now emerged in my mind.

I hope we don’t meet each other, she thought to herself.

..................................

"Idiot, why did you say that just now?" After saying goodbye to the female reporter, Yukino, who had originally covered her face, quickly recovered and tapped him on the back.

"Hey, is there something I said wrong?" Hachiman was a little proud. Yukino had been controlling the rhythm before, but now he finally got back some of the gains.

"There are still many things in this world that are correct but cannot be told to others." Yukino said with a straight face.

You are just shy. Being broadcast live is equivalent to making their relationship public, which means that everyone in Chiba knows that they are in a relationship.

Well, who would care except the people they knew.

But at this moment, Hachiman was thinking, is Mrs. Yukinoshita at home now, or is she spending Christmas in the company?

Looking at Yukino's cold face, Hachiman realized that he had lost consciousness just now, and then he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Were you thinking about another girl just now?" This time, Yukino did not mention Saki's name.

"No way, why do you always think about these things now?" Hachiman felt guilty, so he complained first.
