In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

Yukinoshita Yukino paused when she heard this, the smile that was still on her face faded, and her expression subtly darkened.

At first, Eriri didn't notice the subtle change in her facial expression until Gen Qianye turned around and said, "Let me help you."

"Hmm? What did you say?"

"..."

Yukinoshita shook her head, then smiled again: "Eriri, after I graduate from elementary school, I will go to junior high school abroad."

Eriri was so shocked that her chopsticks dropped from her hand. "Go...go abroad? That...that means...we..."

Yukinoshita couldn't bear it, but still stated the reality: "Well, we probably can't go to the same school together anymore."

Eriri seemed anxious and tried to save the situation: "But...but, didn't we agree on this at the beginning..."

"Yes, we have agreed that we will always be friends. Besides, I'm only away for a short time. After I finish my junior high school studies abroad, if everything goes well, I will come back to study in high school. Then we can meet again."

"..."

Ying Lili pouted, looking particularly sad, and her eyes were a little red.

She was a child at heart and could not hear Yukinoshita's words of comfort.

She was only certain of one thing, that she would not see Yukinoshita for three years in junior high school.

"Let me take this." Yuan Qianye held back his laughter and reached out to take Yukinoshita's lunch box.

Yukinoshita glanced at him unhappily.

When he looked at the pitiful Eriri again, his gaze turned helpless again.

There was nothing I could do but hold her hand and continue to comfort and coax her in an unskilled manner.

…………

024: Take you home

It doesn't matter if I don't comfort her, because once I comfort her, Yinglili feels even more sad.

Tears started to fall.

This was the first time I received help from others, and I made two close friends who promised to stay with each other for the rest of our lives.

This should have been a dreamlike and happy time... but it only lasted for a few years and was about to end.

Why is this happening?

Yukinoshita Yukino is really not good at comforting people, and after several minutes, Eriri became even more sad.

Fortunately, Eriri is not completely ignorant. She understands that studying abroad was the decision of Yukino's family.

She shouldn't have behaved so inappropriately and made Yukino sad too.

"I...I'm going to the bathroom. You guys eat first."

After Eriri wiped her face with a tissue, she walked away.

Xue Zhimia glared at Yuan Qianye with a sullen expression, as if she was a little angry: "You just stood there watching, and didn't help to comfort her."

Yuan Qianye returned her lunch box and said, "Why would you help me? You have to let her vent her emotions. She really doesn't want to be separated from you. It would be so uncomfortable if she kept these feelings bottled up inside."

Yukinoshita was speechless. What he said did make some sense.

But she didn't know why, but when she saw Yuan Qianye's expression, which was as calm as usual, she still felt a little unhappy.

unhappy!

When Eriri came back later, she had already sorted herself out.

She felt that Yukinoshita was right.

Nowadays, with so many means of communication, even if we are far away from each other and not in the same school in the future.

But if they want, they can still meet via video call anytime and anywhere!

And Yukino isn't leaving right away, there's still nearly a year left!

Thinking about it this way, the bad news of separation in a year doesn’t seem so hard to accept!

Yukinoshita was relieved by her change of mood, but the relief did not last long.

Because starting from that afternoon, Eriri became even more attached to her than before, and they even had to go to the bathroom hand in hand. She truly became a little follower!

On the other hand, due to an unexpected incident, Gen Qianye's relationship with the Takanashi sisters has made new progress.

At the end of April, Yuan Qianye, who had not participated in any club activities, returned home early as usual.

The utility room had been cleaned out and was definitely smaller than his original bedroom.

However, he lives alone, and after putting in a single bed, computer desk and wardrobe, there is still more than two square meters of free space, which is just right and not too crowded.

He was reading at the table until around four o'clock when he heard the phone ringing in the living room.

"Hello, is this Yuuka Kotori? I'm Touka Kotori's homeroom teacher."

Yuan Qianye realized that something must have happened, and his expression became serious.

"Hello, teacher. I'm Touka's younger brother. My parents are out. If you have anything to say, please tell me and I'll tell them later."

"Well, Touka Takanashi accidentally twisted her ankle while participating in the gymnastics club this afternoon. Her ankle was severely swollen, but now she's fine after being bandaged by the school doctor.

However, according to the school doctor's advice, she is now completely unable to walk, otherwise her injury will most likely worsen and affect her subsequent recovery.

Touka Takanashi is resting in the infirmary right now. Please tell your parents to come pick her up as soon as possible, okay?"

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, teacher."

hang up the phone.

Yuan Qianye went back to his room to change clothes without much thought.

His father found a new job as a bartender some time ago, and his work and rest schedule is similar to before.

In the past, he would be at home at this time, but at around three o'clock, his boss called him and asked him to go to the store early, saying that a big customer was coming to support the store and promised to give him extra overtime pay.

Miss Runzi works in the beauty industry. She owns a small shop of her own. She usually works in the shop and has relatively flexible working hours.

But unfortunately, she got a job and went on a business trip early yesterday morning.

Several girls went out for a trip, and Miss Runzi was responsible for accompanying them. Her job was to put on beautiful makeup for them to make them look more photogenic.

The sponsor takes care of food, accommodation and transportation, and you can make extra money by charging on a daily basis, so there is no reason not to do it.

If I calculate now, she should be in Kyoto now, and it will take at least a week for her to return home if everything goes well.

There was no other way. Both adults in the family were busy with work, so he was the only one who went to pick up Shihua and take her home.

Although he is only in the sixth grade, his height has reached 1.7 meters. Not only is he a head taller than his peers, he is also very strong.

If he had to compare, he felt that even if he faced students in the second or third grade of junior high school, he would probably not be at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness.

However, it is definitely unrealistic to just go over and carry Shihua back.

If you take a taxi, it seems inconvenient to get in and out of the car if you sprain your ankle.

Yuan Qianye had a plan in mind.

After changing his clothes, he went straight to his next door.

He found the kind retired elderly couple who were his neighbors and explained the reason. They readily lent him their bicycle.

Yuan Qianye rode his bicycle and arrived at Shihua's junior high school in less than twenty minutes.

After asking the guard for directions, he went directly to the health room.

The door of the health room was not closed and there was no teacher to be seen. Tohka Takanashi was leaning on the hospital bed, staring out the window in a daze.

Hearing footsteps, she turned around and was surprised to see that the person coming was Yuan Qianye.

Yuan Qianye walked to the bedside and the first thing he noticed was her feet wrapped in gauze and sticking out of the quilt.

Before Tohka could speak first, he asked worriedly, "How is it? Does your ankle still hurt?"

"The school doctor helped me with it, and it doesn't hurt much anymore."

It doesn’t hurt that much… but it still hurts a little.

"Going to the hospital?"

"No, the school doctor prescribed some topical medicine for me and told me to rest and not move around. If I follow the treatment she prescribed, I'll be fully recovered within a week."

Hearing her say this, Yuan Qianye felt relieved.

Now it was Shihua's turn to be puzzled: "But why are you here, Qianye?"

"Dad went to the store early for something, so I came to pick you up. Don't worry, I'm still very strong. Let's go home."

As Yuan Qianye said this, he wanted to move closer to support Shihua's arm to help her stand up and sit on the edge of the bed so that it would be easier for him to carry her on his back.

But Shihua said with embarrassment: "Well, I'm a little inconvenient right now."

inconvenient?

Seeing that Yuan Qianye didn't understand, she lifted the quilt covering her body.

Touka Takanashi is wearing a tight gymnastics suit, revealing her developing body curves.

She herself had practiced gymnastics for many years, and since she believed that Yuan Qianye was her younger brother, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But Yuan Qianye, who was very close to her, calmly turned his gaze away from Touka, who already had obvious female characteristics.

Shihua didn't notice this, so she started to explain, "Teacher brought my school bag, but my school uniform is still in the locker room. I need to get it back. You... forget it, just help me up and we can go together."

"Goodbye, you should just lie here and wait for me. Where is the dressing room? I'll get it."

Touka shook her head, "It's not convenient for a boy like you to go to the girls' locker room."

"Don't worry, I'm very sweet-talking and will just find a passing senior to help me, don't worry."

Gen Qianye, who is several years older than Touka Toriyama, and as the underage man in the family, seems reliable and reassuring at this moment.

…………

025: Naivety and reliability are not contradictory

Yuan Qianye came to the women's locker room in the gymnasium.

It was just after five o'clock and it was still light outside. It was the bustling time when various sports clubs were holding activities.

Relying on his handsome little face and the affinity that is subtly revealed by his high charm.

He easily struck up a conversation with a female student and successfully asked her to help get the clothes that Touka Takanashi had changed into in the locker room.

"Thank you, sister." Yuan Qianye's little mouth was very sweet after taking the clothes.

The female student waved her hand nonchalantly and returned the wardrobe key to him: "It's okay, it's just a piece of cake."

Yuan Qianye hugged the clothes tightly and walked back. When he walked out of the gymnasium and passed by the flower bed, there was no one around.

He quickly spread out Touka's school uniform and stuffed her top bra inside.

This was an unexpected situation. He didn't know much about gymnastics, and only now realized that he would need to wear a sports bra when doing gymnastics.

Back in the health room, Gen Qianye handed the clothes to Touka Takanashi.

He was just about to draw the curtain beside the bed and turn around to avoid it.

Touka Takanashi said, "No need, I can just put my clothes on."

Yuan Qianye thought so too, and then asked, "Do you need my help?"

He regretted the moment he asked.

He just sprained his ankle, his hands are still able to move!

But Shihua nodded seriously: "Then please help me get my schoolbag."
