Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Before dawn, Hachiman left Qingxue's soft and fragrant body, returned to his room and took a bath.

In fact, he was not worried that his affair with Kiyoshita would be discovered by the servants of Yukinoshita's house. Ever since Kiyoshita had an affair with him, he made a rule when he dismissed the previous servants and recruited new ones. All servants were not allowed to stay overnight at Yukinoshita's house. They all came to work after seven o'clock every day and left after six o'clock in the evening.

Although it would cause some inconvenience, Yukino herself didn't want too many people to interfere in her life, so she agreed. So every time she had a tryst with Qingxue, she didn't worry about being caught. As for Yukino...

Snow is sleeping

Perhaps because of the habits she acquired from her upbringing, Yukino would sleep for ten hours every day, which was enough for Hachiman and Kiyoyuki to make love.

Although Hachiman still feels guilty, he has learned to live with Qingxue while feeling guilty.

When he came out of the shower, Hachiman had already changed into a gray sports suit and was ready to go out for a morning run. However, as soon as he opened the door, he found Yukino standing at the door, which scared Hachiman.

"Xue...Yukino? Why did you get up so early today?" Hachiman's tone was slightly surprised.

Usually this guy sleeps until after seven o'clock.

"We're going to Tokyo today, and I suddenly missed the scenery in Chiba. Let's go for a morning run together today." Yukino said in a calm voice.

"Okay, let's run together." Hachiman was afraid that Yukino would suspect something, so he agreed readily.

Just as they were passing by Qingxue's room, Xueno suddenly asked softly, "Is mom still sleeping?"

Hachiman subconsciously wanted to answer with "hmm", but suddenly felt something was wrong and felt a little suspicious.

"I don't know. I heard that Mrs. Yukinoshita doesn't sleep well." Hachiman said calmly.

Yukino didn't say anything, just nodded, but Hachiman felt a chill on his back. Did she discover something?

But judging from his expression, it doesn’t seem like that. Maybe I’m just overthinking it.

The two began to jog along the seaside path facing the sea breeze. Yukino's physical strength has always been a weakness, but after a year of exercise, her condition has improved a lot and she no longer catches a cold or fever easily.

Perhaps because of what Yukino said, Hachiman felt a little emotional when looking at the usual scenery. He was going to Tokyo today to start a new life, and he would not be able to see all this in Chiba for a while. Amid the sound of light breathing, Yukino suddenly turned around.

Hachiman felt a little strange, but still followed him. After turning several times, the two slowly came to the familiar school road. The sky was just getting bright, and there were not many people on the green school road. Soon, the two climbed up the slope and came to the school gate of Sobu High School.

The two of them slowly stopped, and Hachiman said in a breathy voice, "Do you want to go in for a walk?"

But Yukino quickly shook her head and said softly, "It's completely different from when we were in school. There's no point in going in now."

Hachiman and Yukino did not choose to repeat their senior year at Sobu High School, but instead enrolled in another high school in Chiba. They usually hired private tutors to come to the Yukinoshita family's residence to help them focus on the unified examination questions.

In fact, the classmates of Hachiman had already graduated from Sobu High School and went their separate ways. Because of a series of changes in the Yukinoshita family, Hachiman had not contacted any of his classmates, including...

"Hikigaya-kun, has Yui contacted you recently?" Yukino suddenly asked.

Hachiman shook his head and said, "No, I changed my phone number and even my LINE account."

As if to symbolize that he had embarked on a completely different path in life, he severed all past ties.

Yukino glanced at him and said, "Actually, Yui has been contacting me on LINE. Although I didn't reply to her, she still didn't give up posting her latest updates on LINE, writing about her recent feelings, just like writing a note."

Hachiman couldn't help but hold Yukino's hand, as if to comfort her in this way.

When Yukino's father just died, Yukino, who was heartbroken, did not respond to Yui, but when everything was settled, Hachiman naturally chose Yukino, and even gave up Saki for this, and the two of them got together.

The delicate relationship between Hachiman, Yui and Yukino came to an abrupt end in the waves of life. No answer is the answer.

Although Hachiman didn't deliberately find out, Yui is probably enjoying her youth at a university right now, which is good.

Perhaps, Yukino also had the same thought, which was why she didn't reply to Yui.

Hachiman gently held Yukino in his arms, and the girl enjoyed the warmth with a little guilt.

However, she hid some things and would give Hachiman a surprise after arriving in Tokyo.

Not long after, the two started running back. About twenty minutes later, they returned to Yukinoshita's house. The servants had already come to work and prepared breakfast for the three of them.

As for Yang Nai, she is still studying in another city and will graduate in about a year, so she is not at home most of the time.

After a proper rest and shower, when Hachiman came out again, Kiyoshige and Yukino were already having breakfast.

"Good morning, Mrs. Yukinoshita," Hachiman said calmly.

During this year, he has learned to switch back and forth between "Kiyoxie" and "Mrs. Yukinoshita" smoothly.

"Why did you come down so late? Even Yukino came here earlier than you. You seem a little tired lately, Hikigaya-kun." Mrs. Yukinoshita frowned and said as if unhappy.

Mrs. Yukinoshita has always had this attitude, and even the servants in the house know that she is not very satisfied with her second son-in-law who comes from a commoner family.

Although they don't go to the point of beating or scolding, the language used is often harsh.

"Yes, I will pay attention next time." Hachiman did not explain that taking a bath takes time and that one cannot take a bath immediately after exercise. Instead, he accepted all of Mrs. Yukinoshita's lessons.

This may seem a bit cowardly, but this is the tacit understanding between him and Mrs. Yukinoshita. If they are unhappy, they can just bully her back in bed.

"Mother, Hikigaya-kun is the man I chose. If you have any opinions, you might as well tell me directly instead of lecturing me on trivial matters. This will not increase your dignity but will only make you look like you are bullying others." Yukino said calmly.

"Stop nagging. I'm just giving you a lecture. As a woman of the Yukinoshita family, you should know that you can't let your husband go easy on himself. You must supervise him strictly so that he can achieve success in the future." Yukinoshita Kiyoshige said in a seemingly stern voice, but she was secretly delighted in her heart.

The more she taught Hachiman a lesson, the more Yukino would take the initiative to protect her husband, and the less she would suspect the relationship between her and Hachiman.

But what Yukino said next made Qingxue break out in a cold sweat.

"Mother, what you said is not entirely wrong. I just happen to have a question for you, Hikigaya-kun. Where were you last night? Why was there no one in your bed in the middle of the night?"

Yukino said calmly and coldly.

Chapter 8 Chapter

"Why is there no one in your bed in the middle of the night?" Yukino asked calmly and coldly.

A loud thunder exploded in the living room. Even Mrs. Yukinoshita, who was as intelligent as she was, couldn't help but have her eyelids twitching in surprise. She clenched her fists tightly under the table, looked at Hachiman, and thought to herself, you must hold on.

Hachiman broke out in a cold sweat, but he still managed to put on a smile and said, "Yukino, what are you talking about? Didn't I sleep well last night?"

But Yukino shook her head gently and said, "I woke up last night and when I went to the bathroom I suddenly wanted to check your room, but there was no one in the bed. How do you explain it?"

Mrs. Yukinoshita glared at Hachiman fiercely, "You guy, you left the room without locking the door, you idiot, you fool, how could I give my body to such a stupid dog who is only in heat?" Qingxue was obviously angry and confused.

Hachiman rolled his eyes and said, "Last night I...I went out for a night run. Maybe that's when you came to my room."

This reason is acceptable, and this guy is somewhat quick-witted, but it's a pity that he underestimated Yukino.

People like Yukinoshita Yukino would not easily start a fight unless they were absolutely sure. She said calmly: "I have watched the surveillance video outside the door. No one went out last night. How do you explain it?"

"Ah, this..." Hachiman was stunned for a moment. How could it be like this? The poor boy had forgotten that rich people could install surveillance cameras in their homes. Fortunately, Qingxue installed surveillance cameras inside and outside the courtyard for safety reasons but not in the room, otherwise Hachiman and Qingxue would have been dead.

Just when Hachiman didn't know how to answer and was getting anxious, Mrs. Yukinoshita put down the tableware and said, "I'm full and I have to go to work. Hikigaya Hachiman, come here!"

Mrs. Yukinoshita said coldly. Just when Hachiman hesitated, Yukino said calmly, "It's okay. I'll give you a few minutes to think about how to answer my question."

Hachiman followed Mrs. Yukinoshita out as if he had been pardoned. When they reached the shoe changing cabinet at the entrance, Kiyoshita carefully observed that no one was watching nearby, and then he lowered his voice and said anxiously, "You idiot, you actually revealed such a big flaw to Yukino. Once that kid gets suspicious, there will be no end to it."

Hachiman was a little embarrassed, after all, it was his carelessness. But after the initial shock, he regained his composure and said, "Don't worry, Yukino hasn't suspected you or me yet, probably..."

Hachiman was not very sure about this, after all, that was Yukinoshita Yukino.

"In short, Yukino must not know about our affairs, otherwise...otherwise, don't even think about touching me again in the future."

"Who knows who can't help it." Hachiman said with some dissatisfaction.

"What did you say!?" Qingxue immediately glared at him.

"Anyway, don't be so nervous, and don't forget that we have..." Hachiman whispered.

Qingxue picked up her handbag, took a deep breath, and said, "Anyway, I don't care. As a man, you have to solve this problem for me."

After that, he immediately said loudly: "Hikigaya Hachiman, if you have anything to hide from Yukino, tell her clearly, otherwise I will not forgive you, humph."

After saying this, he walked away arrogantly.

This woman...

However, when he returned to the living room, there was no sign of Yukino. Her heart tightened, and then she looked up, just in time to see Yukino walking out of Qingxue's room, looking at him coldly.

Hachiman clenched his fists instantly.

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

Time went back a little. Yukino took the initiative to let Hachiman follow her mother out, as if she wanted to make up an excuse for Hachiman to buy time. However, her purpose was not so. After seeing the two leave, Yukino went straight to the second floor and came to the room of Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki.

The clues we have now are as follows: Hikigaya-kun was missing in the middle of the night yesterday and was not in his room.

At the same time, as evidenced by the surveillance video, he did not leave the mansion last night, which means he was still in the room. After she couldn't find Hachiman last night, she walked around the first and second floors but didn't see him.

So, even if you don't want to believe it, you can only draw the following conclusion.

Hachiman was in her mother's room. After all, besides Hachiman and her, the only other person in the mansion was the head of the family.

But, would her mother really be involved with Hachiman? She really didn't want to believe it, so she stood here to verify it.

Right now, Hachiman is talking to her mother at the entrance. It doesn't matter what they talk about, as long as she gets another chance to go into her mother's room when no one is around.

She gently pushed the door open and walked in. The room was bright, and even the sunlight seemed to be diffused. The furnishings in the room were neatly arranged, even very tidy, and there was a faint scent of jasmine, which was the scent her mother liked. Yukino found it hard to believe that she and Hachiman would have such an affair in such a room.

But Yukino is an objective person. Just like the political science and law department she chose, let the evidence speak for itself.

So she began to search the room, focusing on the bed. She walked to the bed and searched carefully, but she didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed, there was not a single hair at all, and even under the pillow, there was no condom. Then she searched the trash can, but there were no suspicious tissues, and she didn't find anything suspicious in the drawers or the bathroom.

According to Locard's principle of exchange of materials, a material entity will inevitably come into contact and exchange with various objects at the scene in the process of committing a "crime".

But Yukino didn't find any traces of a second person living in Qingxue's room. Not to mention a second person, there were very few traces of her mother herself. The room seemed to be brand new.

Detective Yukino was confused for a moment. Was she really suspicious? Was her mother not just acting in front of her, but really didn't like Hikigaya-kun?

But if that's the case, there's no way to explain where Hachiman went last night.

At this moment, Yukino didn't know whether she should be disappointed or happy. She searched the room again unwillingly, but still found nothing. She sighed in her heart, then left the room. On the corridor on the second floor, she saw Hachiman walking back. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he was hiding some secret.

"So, Hikigaya-kun, is your excuse convincing enough?" In order to cover up the embarrassment of entering her mother's room to look for evidence, Yukino took the initiative to attack.

Then, Hachiman showed a heavy expression of relief and said, "Yukino, I am guilty!"

Chapter 9 Chapter

"Yukino, I am guilty." Hachiman said with a heavy expression, as if he wanted to confess all his crimes.

Xueno glanced at him, but her heart sank. Could it be that he was really with his mother...

"As you might have guessed, I wasn't in my room last night," Hachiman said.

Standing at the door of Qingxue's room, Yukino looked at him gently and said, "You are finally willing to admit it."

"But I was not in Mrs. Yukinoshita's room. There was a place that you overlooked." Hachiman said with a relieved tone.

Xueno couldn't help but frown. What place did she overlook? However, except for her mother's room, there was only...

Suddenly, the girl seemed to have discovered something, and immediately hurried to the room next to her own room, then she gently pushed open the door.

This is her sister Haruno's room. The bed is a little messy, and there are some crumpled paper balls in the trash can. It is obvious that this room has been "used", but her sister Haruno is studying in another city at a university and has not returned to the Yukinoshita home for a long time.

Why did Hachiman come here in the middle of the night?

"What's going on?" Yukino frowned and turned to ask her boyfriend.

Hachiman pursed his lips, as if he was having trouble speaking, and said, "The story starts from the last time Yukinoshita Haruno came home. Weren't we under a lot of pressure because of the unified examination at that time?"

Having said that, Yukino also remembered that, after all, they were going to take the entrance exam to the University of Tokyo, which was ranked number one in the country. It was an institution of higher learning that even with the connections of the Yukinoshita family, they couldn't use people to ask for help to get in through the back door. To say that it was like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge was an understatement. Therefore, Hachiman, whose grades were originally unbalanced, was under more pressure than Yukino.

"If you were admitted to the University of Tokyo and I failed, do you think I would still have the face to stay in this family?" Hachiman said emotionally.

Yukino's heart trembled slightly. It was not that she was without this worry. She could also see that Hachiman was under a lot of pressure during that time. But Hachiman managed to hold on after all. She thought it was because of his determination. Turns out, was there something else going on?

Hachiman raised his head gently and said, "Just at this time, Yukinoshita Haruno told me that when she is not around, I can use her room to relax and do whatever I want in her room."

After hearing this, Xueno denied it immediately: "Impossible, how could my sister..."

It's ridiculous to say such a thing, but when I think of my sister Yang No's personality, such a ridiculous suggestion would really seem like something she would do.

"You just listened to what she said?" Yukino frowned slightly, feeling very dissatisfied. This development was not the worst direction she had thought of.

Hachiman's face showed a heavy expression, and he said, "At first I just thought she was talking nonsense, but the pressure of the unified examination was too great, especially for you, Yukino... Your grades were always better than mine. Do you know how I felt at that time? Could I complain about why your grades were so good? I would rather die than expose my dark side to you. One time, I tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep. I somehow came to Yukinoshita Haruno's room, and then did some handicrafts in her room. Miraculously, I was able to fall asleep in her room."

Hachiman said half-truthfully that he was indeed under a lot of pressure during that period, but the way he vented his stress was not through handicrafts. Moreover, the room where he and Kiyoyuki had their tryst was indeed here, not in Kiyoyuki's own room across the street. Instead, the two of them went to Yukino's next door, to Haruno's room, to have their tryst. This feeling of taboo and immorality did allow him to vent a lot of the pressure from studying.

Xueno's voice became a little trembling: "I....I didn't know you were under so much pressure at that time, why didn't you tell me?"

Hachiman gave a bitter smile: "How could I expose my weak side to you? I am your protector, not the one you protect."

Although Yukino was a little annoyed that Hachiman did such an outrageous thing, she felt more distressed that her boyfriend was being tortured like this without her realizing it.

Hachiman sighed softly: "After that, every time I felt breathless, I would come to Yukinoshita Haruno's room in the middle of the night to vent my stress. It has become a habit. Even though the unified examination is over and we have received the admission letter, this habit seems to have become an addiction and I can't give it up."

Yukino suddenly thought that Hachiman was also a boy in adolescence, so it was natural for him to have desires in that area.

"Why...why don't you come to me?" Yukino said a little at a loss.
