In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

Yuan Qianye smiled as he watched the playful interaction between the sisters.

I always feel that it was not until today that the two of them finally felt able to truly relax in this home.

In the next few days, Yuan Qianye was responsible for cooking and picking up and dropping off Shihua from school.

Shihua asked him to just drop her off at the school gate, but he refused to listen and insisted on dropping her off directly at the classroom.

In addition, he also asked several female friends in the class who were on good terms with Touka to give them some handmade cookies he baked at home, and asked them to take good care of Touka who had difficulty moving in recent days.

Touka herself was quite helpless about this, and felt ashamed of his meticulous care, not to mention that her friends around her often joked about it.

Saying things like, "This is probably the level of care a boyfriend gets when they're in love..."

It just... feels very taboo!

There were even several carnivorous women who came forward to ask for Yuan Qianye's contact information.

And Tohka’s attitude is naturally not to give it!

There is absolutely no room for negotiation!

What a joke! Although Qianye was tall and had some masculine good looks, he was ultimately not ready for this kind of thing!

She would never allow this to happen!

Yuan Qianye didn't know that his charm at this moment had reached the level that he could easily win the heart of his elder sister.

He only knew that Touka's ankle sprain healed after a week under his care.

When Runko Takanashi came back from a business trip, she brought gifts for everyone.

Rikka received a cool model.

Yuan Qianye got an expensive jacket.

Touka...Touka's gift is two sets of underwear.

Don’t ask why Yuan Qianye knew this, because he was in the living room when Takanashi Junko delivered the gift.

Without him realizing it, he was being fed with a lot of information about how to choose underwear based on its comfort and softness.

Touka, who loved the pure white color, even took the gift her mother gave her and gestured to her chest unconsciously.

That night, Yuan Qianye woke up from his dream.

In a sense, the uncontrollable bed-wetting behavior of childhood is reappearing at this moment.

He looked troubled.

The power of the ancient times could not be suppressed after all!

He quietly took out his clean underwear and slipped into the bathroom with awkward movements.

…………

027: It’s nice to do this once in a while

The cafeteria was filled with noise.

Rikka Takanashi found an empty seat with her tray and waved to the other three.

Yuan Qianye glanced at the chair and found it was fine, then sat down. As usual, he took out a tissue and wiped the table back and forth, left and right.

The other three were no longer surprised by his behavior.

"Eri, your shrimp tempura looks delicious. Can I trade you a fried meat patty?"

"Of course! You're welcome!"

After her sister's previous injury, Rikka Takanashi realized that Chiya Minamoto was a kind-hearted person who was easy to talk to and gentle.

After the gap between us disappeared, I naturally spent more time with him at school.

And because she has the title of Minamoto Chiya's adopted sister, she naturally loves the people in her family and is taken care of by Yukinoshita Yukino and Sawamura Eriri, and they become good friends.

"My sister will go to school on Saturday afternoon to participate in the preliminary competition for the club, and I want to go and cheer her on." Rikka Takanashi took a bite of the tempura shrimp she had exchanged from Eriri. It was probably made in advance and left for a while, so it was not very crispy.

She felt that this was in no way comparable to the tempura fried food Qianye had made before, but unfortunately, her mother and sister would not let her cook when they were free, which was really frustrating!

"Contest?"

Eriri and Yukinoshita looked confused when they heard this. They only knew that Rikka had an older sister named Touka who was now in junior high school, but they didn't know much else.

Yuan Qianye explained, "Sister Shihua has joined the school's gymnastics club. There's going to be a county-level gymnastics competition soon, and today their club will be holding an open tryout to determine who will represent the school based on their strength."

During that period, he picked up and dropped off Shihua to school every day. During the casual conversations on the way, he also learned some information about Shihua's situation.

When she was very young, she saw the graceful postures of gymnasts on TV screens and was very envious of them.

The graceful posture like that of a white swan attracted the attention of the whole audience, and she was confident and charming!

Gymnastics can be divided into three categories: artistic gymnastics, artistic gymnastics and trampoline.

Trampoline emphasizes aerial skills and athletic ability, and is known as "aerial ballet".

Competitive gymnastics emphasizes strength and coordination, is more professional, has a certain degree of thrill and confrontation, and includes uneven bars, balance beam, and rings.

Rhythmic gymnastics combines music, gymnastics and dance, and uses four types of equipment: rings, balls, clubs and ribbons for performances, maximizing artistry, rhythm and expressiveness.

Many laymen who know nothing about gymnastics often find rhythmic gymnastics competitions fascinating, simply because they are a feast for the eyes!

Touka's dream is to become a professional rhythmic gymnast, and she has indeed been following her childhood ideal.

"Then... let's go together on Saturday."

Yuan Qianye thought that he had nothing to do on Saturday, and he was also really curious about what kind of posture Shihua, who often did splits and high legs even when watching TV at home, would actually perform rhythmic gymnastics.

"Then it's settled!"

Liuhua looked very happy. The other party's answer was just as she expected, which was also the reason why she brought up this matter.

But what she didn't expect was that Eriri beside her also seemed very interested in this!

"What, is Rikka's sister going to participate in a competition? I'm free on Saturday, can I go and cheer her on?"

She definitely wanted to cheer them on together, but the most important thing was that she wanted to play with Yuan Qianye.

It just so happens that a new season of Magical Girl Momo-chan is coming out soon, and I can discuss topics like production standards with him then!

"Yukino, you haven't been taking tutoring classes lately. You should be free on Saturday, so come along!"

Yukinoshita Yukino did not answer immediately, but looked at Gen Chiye first.

"Come on."

Yuan Qianye seemed very casual, but he was a little worried about Shihua in his heart. So many people went to cheer her up. If she was not selected, it would be very embarrassing.

But seeing how easily she moves her thighs and bends her waist at home, it shouldn't be the case.

But it’s hard to say, after all, rhythmic gymnastics doesn’t just depend on body flexibility…

After receiving the reply, Yukinoshita nodded: "I understand, let's go together."

"Great!"

Liuhua clasped her hands together. She didn’t think as much as Yuan Qianye. She was just simply happy that her friends around her were willing to cheer for her sister!

In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday.

Everyone gathered near the junior high school gate.

Surprisingly, Yukino, who looked like she had a headache, was accompanied by Haruno, who looked energetic and in a very good mood.

"Aloha." She greeted the others enthusiastically as she approached.

"Sorry, my sister heard about it and insisted on coming along." Xueno came close to Yuan Qianye and explained.

Tohka Takanashi glanced at Yukino, who seemed very close to her adopted brother, with concern, and thought to herself that as expected, this boy was extremely popular with the opposite sex.

Yang No and Touka met each other and were introduced to each other by Gen Chiye.

After a brief greeting, Tohka went to report to the club first.

Others walked directly into the school gymnasium and sat down to wait quietly.

At around 2:00 p.m., the internal selection competition of the gymnastics club officially began.

Unlike the complicated procedures and scoring rules in formal rhythmic gymnastics competitions, the process of internal selection competitions is kept simple.

A total of nine people competed for three places. Each person stepped forward in turn and completed the prescribed sets of movements according to the coach's prior requirements.

The coaches will give scores based on their professional level, and the three with the highest scores will represent the school in the competition.

From a distance, Rikka saw her sister changing into her gymnastics uniform and taking her place on the sidelines, and she raised her hand high and waved to her!

Tohka noticed this and smiled faintly in return.

Yuan Qianye felt a little relieved. Compared with the competitors around her, Shihua seemed particularly calm.

Apart from anything else, her unwavering aura has already won her so much before the competition even started!

Touka was the fifth to appear, right in the middle, so it couldn't be said to be good or bad.

Yang Noi crossed his arms at first and watched the game quietly from the sidelines.

But when the second person came on stage, she couldn't help laughing.

Indeed, even an outsider like Yuan Qianye could see that the rhythmic gymnastics level of the first two contestants needed to be improved.

After the third person appeared, Yang Noi lost all interest in watching and leaned close to her sister's ear to talk to her.

"By the way, Yukino-chan, do you know the year modern rhythmic gymnastics was officially recognized as a sport?"

Yukino faced the center of the gymnasium, her gaze fixed on the ground. "In 1961. The following year, the first World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships were held in Budapest, Hungary."

"Hey, you actually knew that."

"Sister, please watch the game carefully."

"It's because the current game isn't worth watching seriously, so I went to chat with my lovely sister."

"If you feel bored, you can leave now."

"You're really heartless. After all, we're out here, so please give me, your elder sister, some face."

Yuan Qianye sighed silently in his heart.

The sisters started again.

Rikka, who saw how the two sisters interacted with each other for the first time, had fear written all over her nervous face.

At this time, Eriri secretly leaned close to her ear, covered her mouth with her hand and whispered what Gen Qianye had explained to her: "Don't worry, this is the way the Yukinoshita sisters express their friendship to each other. You'll get used to it slowly."

In the center of the gymnasium, it was finally Touka's turn to go on stage.

Yang No also put away his lazy attitude and focused his attention on the field.

Unlike her friends and family who suppressed their nervousness and silently cheered her on, Tohka herself acted quite calmly.

It's just a way to show the results of my usual training. There's nothing to be nervous about.

She came to the center of the field and stood still. When the coach shouted "start", she raised her long legs and stepped forward, jumping gracefully.

----

Yuan Qianye forgot his original intention of coming here simply to cheer, and stared blankly at Shihua who was constantly performing those difficult moves on the field.

Yang Nai's eyes lit up, and his admiration and praise were evident in his words.

After Touka's performance, sparse applause broke out in the gymnasium.

Don't underestimate the sparse applause. There weren't many spectators in the stadium. The stadium was quiet when the first four players left the field, but they didn't even get this treatment.

After watching Touka's performance, Yuan Qianye sneered. He felt that there was no need to watch other people's performances anymore. Touka's name would definitely be on the list of contestants.

After all, as far as we can see so far, her strength is completely not on the same level as others!

On the other side, Yang Noi also felt that his trip today was not in vain: "Fortunately, it's an individual competition."

The implication is that this is a team competition, and the others will definitely hold Touka back.

Although it was a bit early to say that, judging by the results, she was right.
