In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

"Please wait!"

The manager came out from the side of the bar very excitedly. He seemed to have seen the key to breaking the deadlock in the bar’s poor business!

The Takanashi sisters have been waiting at the door of the bar for five minutes.

Liuhua was losing her patience: "Why is Qianye so slow? It shouldn't take so long to deliver something."

Shihua thought so too, and was considering whether to go in and take a look when Yuan Qianye and a strange man walked out.

Before she could figure out what was going on, Yuan Qianye had already arrived in front of the two sisters with a subtle expression: "Well, the manager wants to invite us to dinner at the restaurant."

"?"

The Takanashi sisters looked at each other in confusion.

Yuan Qianye spread his hands and said, "I'll explain the details to you later. Anyway, let's go to the store first."

The store manager also stepped forward at this moment and extended an invitation with a smile.

Liuhua was flattered by his polite treatment. She didn't expect that her father had such a good relationship with his colleagues at work.

Yuan Qianye, who had deliberately lagged behind, leaned over to Shihua's ear to dispel her concerns: "I've told the store manager about Rikka's matter, and he will keep it a secret for us."

046: The Innate Holy Body

It's around 7pm.

The sun sets, the street lights come on, and people who have been busy and tired all day finish their work.

They walk in groups of three or five, arm in arm, through the streets and alleys, looking for the next place to relax and relieve stress.

Touka Takanashi and her sister sat in the innermost seats of the "Yuan" bar.

The view here is great, and you can see all the seating layout inside the bar.

Naturally, she also saw the whole process of her non-blood-related brother, from his unfamiliar cocktail-making skills at first to his gradual adaptation after he changed into his new black and white work clothes.

“Wow~~”

Yuan Qianye, who was wearing a bartender's uniform at the bar, had just thrown the shaker into the air in a very handsome manner, and then caught it with his backhand in a coquettish manner. This caused collective cheers and applause from the female customers sitting in front of the bar.

That’s right, all the customers are female, not a single male!

Seeing this scene, Tohka Takanashi seemed to vaguely understand why her mother often ran to her father's side after finishing work in the afternoon to wait for him to get off work together.

Their love for each other is one thing.

Dad works in a place like this all day long. Faced with such a large group of beautiful girls, Mom must be feeling a strong sense of crisis.

But...is this really a good thing?

Touka Takanashi looked at her non-blood-related brother with mixed feelings, as he seemed to be in great shape amidst the laughter and teasing of a group of female customers.

She always feels guilty. After all, in her heart, isn't it the sister's job to take care of her brother?

Sighing slightly, Tohka glanced at her sister.

This guy was entering a bar for the first time. He was excitedly taking pictures around the place with his phone. He was probably going to post them on his personal blog and probably show off to his friends.

Suddenly I envy her such a relaxed, natural and carefree life.

"Xiao Qianye, make me a Margarita." At the bar, the office lady with seductive eyes took the order.

Yuan Qianye, who had only been working as a bartender for more than an hour, looked embarrassed. He didn't know how to do this.

He was about to turn his head to ask for help from the store manager, but the office lady leaned forward with a flushed face, as if she had been drinking, and placed the heavy thing on the bar table. "Don't know how to make it? It's okay, I'll teach you. First, take the lime, cut a small piece, and then gently twist it to squeeze out the juice~..."

The store manager standing by was so happy to see the booming business that his mouth was crooked with smile!

As expected, his vision was right. Sanada-san's son was even better than his father! He definitely had that innate holy body!

If you do nothing and go to that station, you will see a human-shaped billboard as the store’s sign!

Just shake the cocktail glass a few times and say a few simple words, and you can maximize the emotional value that female customers need!

I found a treasure!

The store manager swept away his previous depressed mood.

He suddenly came up with an incredible plan that could make his store's business boom!

Just like men are naturally interested in rice bowls, women are probably the same. If Sanada-san recovers from his injury and can be persuaded to bring his son to join him in making cocktails, and the father and son work together, then apart from anything else, this will definitely be a huge hit!

Yuan Qianye didn't know that the manager had already regarded him as a member of the bar and was seriously considering the future development strategy.

He was just moved by the store manager's sincere attitude and the remuneration he offered, which coincided with his previous idea of making money, so he stood here.

However, as time passed, after eight o'clock, he saw more and more customers pouring into the bar, and the words of the women gathered in front of the bar became more and more implicit, and he still felt a little overwhelmed.

If a woman completely lets go of the accelerator, the car speed will not be slower than that of some experienced male drivers!

So when the opportunity arose, Yuan Qianye said goodbye.

Although this caused a number of female customers to sigh and try to persuade him to stay, he still resolutely took off his work clothes.

If he was alone, he would be late, but the problem was that Touka and Rikka were still waiting for him in the store.

And for some reason, the look in Touka's eyes not far away looked more and more cold as time passed.

I guess he's been waiting for too long and is getting a little impatient.

At the door of the bar, the manager took out a ten thousand yuan bill and handed it to Yuan Qianye. Thinking about the turnover of several days in just a few hours, he gave him another one.

Yuan Qianye hurriedly said no, after all, the price agreed upon before was ten thousand, not to mention that the store manager brought so many dishes from the restaurant next door for Touka and Rika to eat as much as they wanted.

Rika, that little foodie, was really honest. She ate to her heart's content. After finishing the food, she even showed off two fruit platters!

But the store manager was very determined and insisted that he accept it.

He also called a taxi for them and paid for it.

Before parting, the store manager held the car door open and said, "Qianye-kun, please consider my previous proposal carefully. If you have time, come and do odd jobs for me. I'll pay you on the same day! When you make money, you can buy gifts for your sisters."

Yuan Qianye nodded and politely indicated that he would consider it.

When I got home, it was already past nine o'clock.

Liuhua gained some new experiences today. She went to the bar and was in a good mood. She jumped to the bathroom to take a shower.

In the living room, Yuan Qianye took out 20,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Shihua.

Shihua didn't take it: "I don't want it. This is the money you earned yourself, just keep it."

"What do you mean by yours or mine? We are family, so take it and use it together." Yuan Qianye stuffed the money directly into her hands.

Shihua looked at the money in her hand with mixed feelings: "You're not really planning on working in a bar later, are you?"

Yuan Qianye nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will go. After all, this job is not tiring, and the store manager pays generously. This will also fill the gap in the family's financial resources."

"What about your studies..." Shihua stopped talking right after she started. She suddenly remembered that her brother-in-law was the best among the best students. Her father said that he seemed to have always been ranked first in the grade since elementary school and had never fallen back even once!

The last time she was struggling with a high school math problem, he happened to pass by and casually wrote down a few formulas with a pen. She instantly understood how to solve the problem!

Yuan Qianye knew what Shihua was worried about: "Don't worry, even if I decide to work, I won't go every day. I have my own things to do. At most, I will show up on the two days of my weekly vacation."

Who is the boss of the family?

Shihua couldn't help but complain in her heart. The fact that she was being taken care of by her sworn brother, who was supposed to be taking care of her, made her feel that she was derelict in her duty as a sworn sister!

"Then at least, you can call mom and dad and discuss it with them." These words were Tohka's last stubborn expression as a sister.

Yuan Qianye didn't have any objections. He nodded obediently, turned on the TV and watched the news channel.

Shihua came to the kitchen, opened a bag of biscuits for him, and poured a glass of milk and brought it over.

At night, when Yukinoshita Haruno was getting ready to go to bed, she suddenly received a message from Touka.

[I always feel like I'm a complete failure as a step-sister.]

Ok?

How did Qianye spend so much money?

…………

047: Our family has become rich

[What? I thought it was something big. Xiao Qianye is willing to go out to work to help supplement the family income, and is also willing to give the money he earned from working to you to manage. What a sensible and considerate brother he is!

If you're bothered and don't want it, you can just give it to me. I know you. If you tell others these things, they will definitely think you're showing off.

Yukinoshita Haruno saw a series of messages sent by her friend and understood the whole process of the incident. She felt jealous, very jealous.

After this message was sent, Touka Takanashi was silent for a while. The message "the other party is typing" was displayed on Yono's phone several times and then cancelled. In the end, only a short line of words was sent.

[I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m going to sleep. Good night to everyone except you.]

I'm upset and want to seek help from my friends. It would be best if they could give me some advice.

But the result was that she was not understood and was thought to be being Versailles. Touka felt that she really shouldn't have told this to Haruno.

[No, no, no! ]

Yang Nai, who was always having fun, suddenly became anxious.

The daily interactions between these two unrelated siblings are so interesting, how could we let them go easily?

[I know what you are worried about. It is because of your sense of responsibility as a step-sister that you must feel guilty for not being able to take good care of your step-brother when your parents were away.

This is actually easy to resolve. Just go out and work as he does. No matter how much you earn, you'll be fulfilling your obligations as his sister.

After a pause, Yang Nai added another sentence.

[Of course, in my opinion, you don’t have to go to this extent.]

Touka ignored Haruno's subsequent message and only saw her earlier suggestion.

The ahoge on his head suddenly bounced.

Yes, you can also go to work.

Thank you, I understand. Good night~

Touka doesn't like to add emojis or emoticons when she sends messages, but looking at the tilde at the end of her message, it seems that she is in a pretty good mood right now.

That's good.

【You can tell me if you have anything in the future~Goodnight Darling~】

After finishing the chat with Touka, Yono suddenly thought of her sister who was far away in Eagle Country.

The time difference there is eight or nine hours later than here, and it's still afternoon there, so I don't think it will bother her.

So she sent a message directly, expressing her greetings after a long absence.

[Xue-no, how have you been lately? ]

Who knew that Yukino would reply almost instantly.

【Is there a problem? 】

Yang was surprised.

【Are you always staring at your phone? 】

Yukino from Eagle Country felt a little heartbroken for a moment.

But she had just been staring at the calendar on her phone, calculating how many days were left before she could return to see her friends, so she had no way to refute it.

【Sister, what’s the matter with you? 】

"Sister, let me ask you a question. Just for example, if our Yukinoshita family fell into poverty and our parents' income plummeted to the point where they could barely make ends meet, what would you do?"

"...With your abilities, scholarships won't be a problem. I'll also work part-time to help you complete your studies. Once we both graduate from university and start working, everything will be fine."

She actually wants to work part-time to help her sister like me!
