Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"No, I don't intend to ask you to break up with my senior. I just plan to seamlessly take over as his girlfriend after he breaks up with you."

Doesn't this mean waiting for her to break up with Hachiman, this stinky sister?

Then he laughed strangely: "However, if Senior can't help but do something with me, I won't refuse it."

"Impossible, you'd better give up on this idea." Yukino said coldly.

"Really? But from what I see today, you seem to be in a very unsatisfied state." Isshiki licked his tongue lightly.

"That's a matter between the two of us." Yukino didn't want to be dragged into it anymore, but she felt like there was a thorn in her heart.

"I hope so." Isshiki shrugged.

After the conversation, Yukino went to the kitchen to wash the utensils, while Isshiki went to the balcony with a cup of tea to enjoy the scenery so as not to get tired of each other.

But what surprised her was that Yukinoshita Yukino's sister Haruno actually came out.

Isshiki was a little wary and said, "You are not here to persuade me to give up on Senior, are you? It's impossible. Since I can wait for Senior for a year and we meet in such a fate, I can't give up."

Yang Nai chuckled and said, "You look like children fighting over the most beautiful toy."

Her words made Isshiki frown, but she turned her face away not wanting to see Haruno's foxy face.

She could feel that Miss Yang Nai's level was far higher than her sister's, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

"Hey, do you really want to date Hikigaya?" Yono asked with a smile.

"Yeah, what's wrong? Do you want to teach me a lesson on behalf of Yukinoshita-senpai?" Isshiki now looked like a little hedgehog.

As a result, Yang Noi smiled even more happily and said, "If that's the case, if you really want to snatch Hikigaya, you just need a helper to get rid of Yukino at the critical moment?"

Isshiki looked at the other person with some confusion. From what she said, it seemed that she was not trying to persuade him to leave his senior, but... wanted to help him?

"You mean, you want to help me?" Isese looked suspicious.

Yang Noi didn't say anything, but just smiled even more happily, as if to agree.

"But...but why is this?" Isshiki said in confusion.

From the balcony, Yang No looked at the tiny pedestrians on the road from afar and said softly, "In fact, my mother doesn't like Hikigaya Hachiman very much. You should understand that they are not a good match. Although Hikigaya-kun has been admitted to the University of Tokyo, so what? My Yukinoshita family has more and better marriage partners in Chiba. Mother has always wanted to destroy their relationship, but Yukino has been insisting, so mother had to reluctantly admit it. However, if Hikigaya Hachiman took the initiative to cheat, even Yukino would have nothing to say. Before anything happens."

Immediately, Isshiki understood. It was precisely because the senior and the senior had not yet had a relationship that Miss Yangno and her mother wanted to try to separate the two with gentler means.

But Isshiki frowned slightly and said, "Although I want to be with you, I took you away in an open and aboveboard manner. It is impossible for me to collude with you and use any conspiracy or tricks. In the end, making you sad is not the result I want."

As a result, Yang Nai laughed: "You are stealing my boyfriend openly. Hahaha, little sister, you are so funny."

As expected, Isshiki still didn't like the woman in front of him.

Yang Nai narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "It's okay, just pursue the senior you like, I will take the initiative to clear the obstacles for you."

Chapter 19 Chapter

Hachiman followed Yui out of the apartment, and without Isshiki's clip sounds and Yukino's coldness in his ears, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing him like this, Yui couldn't help but laugh: "Xiaoqi, what's wrong with you? You seemed very nervous just now."

Hachiman looked strange and said, "I didn't expect you to be bad now and learn how to tease people."

Yui seemed really happy today, and teased, "That's right, isn't it? What just happened was a scene that can only be seen in novels. How does it feel to be caught between your girlfriend and your schoolmate, Mr. Hikigaya? Are you secretly happy?"

Hachiman heard that Yui didn't consider him as part of the Shura Field... Well, was he too arrogant? Even though Yui had liked him before, that was all in the past. Now he could naturally watch the affairs of Yukino and Isshiki with a cold eye.

"You really have become a little different, Yuigahama-san." Hachiman said softly.

Suddenly, a slightly chilly spring breeze blew, lifting the treetops, ruffling the branches, and blowing Yui's hair. The girl couldn't help but hold her hair with her hands, chuckling and saying, "Well, after all, it's been a year. Whether you like it or not, people will change."

For some reason, Hachiman always felt that Yui was a little far away from him at this moment. It was an extremely strange feeling.

Because for him in the past, Yui was the easiest person to understand and the most comfortable person to get along with.

But now, he found that he couldn't quite understand the other party.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at my face?" Yui asked in surprise.

"You've become more beautiful." Yui had a bit of baby fat in high school, but now, that immaturity has gradually faded away, and she is blossoming with the charm of a young girl.

"Fufufu, you said I've changed, but you're the one, Xiaoqi. You used to be a little bit silly, but now you've become good at talking to girls."

After hearing Yui's comments, Hachiman felt a little embarrassed. This was also what Qingxue taught him.

Originally, he always thought that girls were creatures of another dimension, and just touching their hands would make him very excited. However, after being trained by that mature woman, he no longer felt that there was anything mysterious about girls' bodies. This subtle change also made him much calmer when dealing with girls.

"After all, I have a girlfriend now." Although he and Yukino were only holding hands.

“You’re still sleeping in separate rooms?” Yui said with a teasing smile.

Hachiman showed a surprised expression and asked, "How come you two know the progress of my and Yukino's relationship?"

But before Hachiman could think of how to respond, Yui said, "Let's go. If we don't go to the supermarket, the meat there will no longer be fresh."

Hachiman realized that he seemed to be led by Yui all day long, but this feeling was not bad.

After arriving at the supermarket, Yui began to choose the base and ingredients for making Sukiyaki.

"Xiaoxue likes to eat big roots, so choose this one."

"Buy more beef. Isshiki-chan likes to eat meat."

"I wonder what Miss Yang No likes to eat. Today's mushrooms look pretty good."

"Xiao Qi, I remember you like this kind of tofu more."

Miss Yui enthusiastically selected the ingredients that everyone liked. The girl's smile was very contagious and would make people feel better unconsciously.

"Come to think of it, Yuigahama-san, aren't you not good at cooking?" Hachiman asked with a smile.

Yui paused, with an unwilling expression as if she was looked down upon, and said, "That was all in the past. I am a brand new Yui now."

"Really? I'm really looking forward to it," Hachiman teased.

Yui stuck out her tongue and said, "I was lying to you. I only know how to make Sukiyaki now. After all, it's just a matter of putting food in a hot pot and cooking it. I've made it often during dinners with my classmates over the past year."

"Are you enjoying your college life?" Hachiman asked casually.

"Well, I'm very happy. I met a lot of new friends. They are all very nice people." Yui said with a little excitement.

Hachiman nodded. As expected, a cheerful person like Yui would be welcomed wherever she goes.

Especially after moving from the small place of Chiba to Tokyo, I faced a bigger world and naturally got to know more people.

The idea that Yukino and I were the only ones who were unique to Yui was ridiculous.

After leaving without saying goodbye, it was a blessing in disguise that Yui treated them like this.

"So, do you have a boyfriend?" Even Hachiman himself didn't know why he asked this question.

Yui seemed a little surprised. She stopped picking the fruit and laughed: "Xiaoqi, do you want me to have a boyfriend or not?"

However, this question was thrown back to him by the other party in an even more embarrassing way.

Hachiman opened his mouth, and it seemed that no matter how he answered, it would not be appropriate. Yui showed a sly look and said, "I was just kidding, Xiaoqi, you are not serious, are you? Sorry, the joke went too far. We have almost finished shopping, go check out, I will wait for you at the supermarket entrance."

But you haven't answered my question yet, and I haven't answered yours either.

Hachiman muttered to himself in his heart, looking at Yui's receding figure, cursing himself for being an idiot. Why did he ask such a question? Was he being unfair to Yukino?

Isn't it good to maintain a friendship with Yui like now?

With a hint of regret, Hachiman went to the supermarket checkout to pay. About ten minutes later, he slowly walked out of the supermarket, only to see two little hooligans surrounding Yui.

"Hey, little sister, go play with your brother."

"You're alone anyway, a college student?"

“I will definitely be very happy.”

Yui was forced to retreat step by step by the two hooligans, with fear and grievance on her face. A trace of violence arose in Hachiman's heart, and he rushed over without the two of them noticing. Without saying a word, he raised his foot and kicked one of them in the crotch. With a muffled groan, the hooligan's originally frivolous smile turned into twisted pain. He fell to the ground, covering his crotch, and kept struggling on the ground with a hoarse and lung-wrenching scream.

Just as the second gangster realized it, Hachiman rushed in front of him and slapped him in the face.

"happy?"

After saying that, he slapped him again.

"happy?"

He used full force in every slap, producing a series of rough "pa, pa, pa" sounds.

"I'm asking you if you're happy or not?"

The gangster seemed frightened by Hachiman's brutality, but he quickly recovered.

"You bastard!"

But the next moment, he found that Hachiman had a fruit knife in his hand. The training that Hachiman had received in the past year was definitely not just for physical fitness. If he could not cope with the two thugs, all the suffering he had endured in the past year would be in vain.

The gangster was stunned by the opponent's weapon for a moment, and then seeing the opponent's fierce eyes, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He had no doubt that this guy would really stab him with the knife. The reactions of people who know how to hold a knife and those who don't are completely different. Could this guy have killed anyone before?

"Go away, don't let me say it a second time."

The little hooligans who only hang around this street quickly carried their screaming companion away.

After seeing the two men leave, Hachiman let out a light breath and retracted his sword.

"Xiaoqi, you..."

But when he turned around, he saw Yui looking at him with complicated eyes.

Chapter 20 Chapter

Hachiman turned around and found that Yui looked at him with a strange look, and there was a flash of fear in her eyes.

Suddenly Hachiman felt as if something was weighing down his chest. It was understandable that Yui would be afraid. After all, in daily life, it was rare to see someone who could pull out a knife so easily. This also reminded Hachiman that he had killed someone before and was no longer the same as before.

He couldn't help but let out a bitter smile: "I almost forgot to mention that you are not the only one who has changed, Yuigahama-san."

If Yui grew and changed naturally due to her age, then Hachiman was forced to change by Kiyoyuki and Yukino's father.

If it were in the past, his hands would tremble when he held a fruit knife against someone, but now when he held the knife, he was only thinking about how to cripple the other person faster.

Yui thought back to her investigation over the past year. She knew that during the year when the two disappeared, the Yukinoshita family had experienced a turmoil that almost destroyed their family, but they finally got through it safely. So what role did Hachiman play in this turmoil?

Seeing Hachiman's bitter smile, Yui felt a little sad. No matter what role he played in it, it would only be a painful memory for the boy.

Yui walked up and slowly extended her hands. Her jade-like palms held Hachiman's slightly cold hand.

The girl whispered, "Xiao Qi, it's okay now. I'm here. I will...protect you."

Protect... Hearing the girl say these two words, Hachiman couldn't help but look up and feel the warmth of Yui's palm, which was very warm.

Then, Hachiman took his hand back and said jokingly, "Come and protect me? I was just being harassed by a little hooligan."

Yui looked at her empty hands, her face frozen for a moment, then she said coquettishly: "You look down on me again!"

But her words sounded more like a joke to Hachiman. He didn't need anyone's protection. On the contrary, he had to protect something, such as Yukino, or the girl in front of him.

This is his responsibility.

Hachiman picked up the bag full of food and returned to the apartment with Yui. As soon as they opened the door, Isshiki Iroha came to greet them: "Senior, welcome home, do you want to eat first, take a shower, or do you want to..."

Hachiman twitched his lips, but seeing the girl's naughty look, he couldn't get angry, and said, "Please give me my slippers, thank you."

"Tsk, Senior really has no sense of humor at all." Isshiki said disappointedly.

"Your apron..." Hachiman looked at the apron with cartoon pattern in the same color scheme with some surprise. It had a bit of a crisp housewife feel.

Isshiki stuck out his tongue gently and said, "How about it, Senior, am I cute when I wear an apron? Do you want a wife as cute as this?"

But behind Isshiki, a cold figure appeared with a kitchen knife, chuckled and said, "Has this lovely wife ever heard of a saying, 'cute but no brains?'"

Isshiki turned around and saw Yukino holding a knife ready to chop at her. She immediately panicked and clung to Hachiman, saying, "Ah, senior, save me. Yukinoshita-senpai is so scary."

If you are really scared, then don't touch my chest casually, Hachiman complained in his heart.

He just picked up two heavy convenience bags and said, "I bought the ingredients."

"Thank you for your hard work, Hikigaya-kun." Yukino said calmly, completely ignoring Isshiki's mischief.

She now understood a little bit. Wasn't it just that this "little girl" was eager to get close to Hachiman? Was there any need for her to be so nervous?

"Let me help you, Xiaoxue. Xiaoqi just helped me a lot." Yui said meaningfully.

Hachiman rolled his eyes, saying that this was very boring. Yukino looked at the two of them suspiciously. Perhaps compared to the enthusiastic school girl, Yui was more...
