In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

The two of them were still chatting casually as they did between each other. Most of the time, Yuan Qianye was responsible for bringing up the topics, while Hesha spoke more.

The atmosphere should have remained calm and gentle, just like the gentle waves in Tokyo Bay today.

But the result was just as what Gen Chiye said when he comforted Kazusa a few hours ago, "Unexpected situations happen in life, you have to keep a normal mind and get used to it all."

Tokyo is such a big city, and it just happened that we met at this place at this time.

It turns out that we are destined to be together since childhood.

This time it was Yuan Qianye who stopped.

Hesha stopped talking, and it was her turn to look at him with confusion.

"Did I meet someone I know?" he explained.

acquaintance?

The next moment, in Hesha's sight, not far ahead, a woman in a team of three suddenly looked over here, then raised her hand high with a look of joy on her face and walked over quickly.

"Isn't this Xiao Qianye? I can actually meet you here! Oh my god, what kind of fate do we have!"

Yang Nai was in high spirits and acted exaggerated, which was consistent with her usual style and personality.

She looked at Kazusa who was standing aside and didn't know how to react. Her eyes narrowed slightly, but a friendly expression remained on her face.

"Hey, I haven't seen this classmate before."

At this time, Mrs. Yukinoshita and Yukino also came over.

Mrs. Yukinoshita maintained a proper smile on her face as always.

Like her eldest daughter, she greeted Yuan Qianye with a smile.

As for Yukino, she was one body length behind her mother and sister and did not move forward any further.

She was clearly Yuan Qianye's closest childhood sweetheart, but at this moment, when she faced him, she saw the bouquet of flowers in the girl next to him.

The expression she showed in front of him at this moment seemed even stranger than a stranger.

…………

075: Mrs. Yukinoshita's considerations

On the straight road along Tokyo Bay in Shiodome.

Yukinoshita Yukino's gaze rested on the girl standing next to Gen Chiye.

The bouquet in her hand was the focus of Yukino's attention.

I've been with him for so many years, have I ever received flowers from him even once?

In the bouquets, there are also small bows, Christmas canes and small dolls used for decoration.

The most eye-catching thing is, of course, the floral itself.

The bouquet is a combination of three different flowers.

You can see red roses and white lilies as the main flowers, supplemented by pink baby's breath.

Since she was a child, Yukino has been learning various elegant skills to cultivate her mind and temperament from her mother, including flower arrangement.

Although not particularly outstanding, it is considered proficient.

Therefore, it is natural to interpret the meaning behind this bouquet of flowers.

Red roses are recognized as the flower of love, representing deep feelings and passionate love.

The words of white lily are pure, solemn and heart-to-heart, symbolizing a happy marriage and lasting love.

As for the pink baby's breath, it represents romance, an indispensable supporting role, and the friendship between lovers.

The combination of the above three kinds of flowers can produce the following interpretation:

My love for you is passionate, we are a perfect match, and I want to be with you forever.

This moment was one of the rare times in Yukino's life when her mind went blank.

This was a phrase that should only appear when a person suffered a major shock, but it suddenly appeared in her mind on such a seemingly ordinary night.

Reason told Yukino that she had to face up to their relationship. They were friends, and she shouldn't have so many complicated emotions at this time.

But her emotions kept reminding her of the night she returned home. After dinner, she mustered up the courage to hint to him that she would be able to make time later, but his reply seemed so perfunctory and unsatisfactory.

She simply couldn't help comparing the scene that day with the current situation.

A Christmas Eve filled with atmosphere, beautiful flowers, a comfortable breeze, a walk under the moonlight...

And there were only the two of them.

Yukino was distracted at an inappropriate time, repeatedly speculating about the relationship between them in her mind.

The hidden uneasiness fell into the water, and the uncontrollable ripples continued to expand.

----

For Yuan Qianye, who claims to have perfect IQ and EQ and is half a step away from perfecting his social physique.

In this situation, he was taking a walk with a piano genius who felt lonely without his mother, and happened to meet Qingmei's family on the way.

Apart from being a little surprised, it really wasn't a big deal.

After a simple greeting, he happily introduced each other to each other.

"Aunt Yukinoshita, this is my friend Touma Kazusa..."

"Touma, this is my childhood friend Yukinoshita Yukino, and the other two are her sister and mother..."

There was an old joke about how three sentences can make someone spend 180,000 yuan on you.

There is a walking humanoid succubus in the world. The simple two words "childhood friend" can instantly destroy the zero-degree expression that the Snow Queen subconsciously puts on.

Perhaps because of the night wind, the ahoge on his head began to flutter.

Yukinoshita Yukino withdrew her concerned gaze from the strange girl and returned her gaze to Yuan Qianye, but still did not speak.

However, Touma Kazusa felt a little at a loss as to what to do with the sudden appearance of the stranger.

But after knowing that they were all acquaintances of Yuan Qianye, he still took off his mask and greeted them awkwardly: "Hello..."

"Hello, hello." Yang No responded on behalf of her family, but when she replied, she stared at Kazusa's face thoughtfully.

Unlike her younger sister, Haruno is more outgoing and cheerful, so the scrutiny she displays is more undisguised.

This made Hesha feel uncomfortable, so she subconsciously made a similar action as when she faced the interview camera before. She hid half of her body behind Yuan Qianye.

This small action caused more speculation among some people present.

"Ah!" Haruno kept repeating Touma Kazusa's name in her mind, and suddenly she remembered something and realized, "Touma-san...did you participate in the Tokyo Academy Piano Competition before?"

Although it was a question, Yang No's expression was very firm.

Hesha was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

The competition the other party was talking about was co-organized by several local music academies in Tokyo.

The competition repertoire focuses on classical music. Although it is not ranked well worldwide, it is still well-known in Japan.

Just like any other event she had participated in since she was a child.

Her mother signed her up and she went.

The honor of the youth group champion was also easily won back.

"As expected." Yang Nai smiled brightly. "I also participated in that competition. We even competed on the same stage, but I was not as skilled as him and ended up only getting third place."

Hesa thought about it for a while, but to no avail.

The main reason is that she usually devotes her whole heart to the piano, and it is really difficult for her to remember the little details in life competitions.

She replied softly, "I'm sorry, I don't quite remember."

She had no ill intentions. Hesha, who lacked the skills to communicate and chat with others, was just speaking the truth according to her true inner thoughts.

But she did manage to do it by accident, achieving the rare feat of making the perfect big sister's effortless smile completely freeze on her face.

The conversation really died down in an instant.

"Ah, there's sand in my eyes..."

Yuan Qianye pretended to put the backs of his fingers around the corners of his eyes and lowered his head slightly to cover the corners of his mouth that were rising wildly.

This can be considered a natural remedy for being evil.

Yang Nai never thought that this day would come.

Kukukuku…

After her eldest daughter said this, Mrs. Yukinoshita also remembered the girl in front of her.

She has won many championships in various piano competitions and is the daughter of the very talented pianist, Touma Yoko.

But now, compared to the identity of this girl, it is better to say that my eldest daughter was humiliated by her.

She didn't really care.

Because something more worrying was happening at this moment.

Her youngest daughter, Yukino Yukinoshita.

The flesh that fell off after ten months of pregnancy, the mother and daughter are connected by heart, and she raised her since she was a child.

As a mother, Mrs. Yukinoshita didn't even speak to her little daughter at the moment and didn't even see her expression.

But it was only because she was half a step behind.

And her overly quiet reaction when facing Yuan Qianye today.

I can already roughly guess what she is thinking at this moment.

Mrs. Yukinoshita, still holding onto a glimmer of hope, hoping her guess would be wrong, smiled softly and parted her red lips: "Qianye-kun, have you just finished your meal?"

Yuan Qianye suppressed his impolite smile and said, "Yes, it's a good opportunity to go out for a walk, which can help me digest my food."

"That's a small gift from the restaurant, right?"

"You can see that?"

"After all, the paper bag you're carrying has the restaurant's name, logo, and contact number printed on it."

Although there are street lights to provide lighting at night, visibility is definitely not as good as during the day.

In addition, the characters printed on the outside of the small paper bag that Yuan Qianye was holding were not very large.

I have to say that Mrs. Yukinoshita has good insight and eyesight.

At this moment, Yukino was distracted by her mother's words. It seemed as if a flash of lightning passed through her mind, and with her quick thinking, she immediately drew inferences from what she had heard.

If what Qianye is carrying now is a small gift given by the restaurant after dinner, then... could that bouquet of flowers also be a gift?

Just now, because Yuan Qianye emphasized the word "childhood friend" when introducing her, Xueno's cold expression softened a little.

And now, I realized that the bouquet in Touma and Sa's hands was not a valuable gift filled with someone's heart, but just a cheap gift given by the restaurant to the guests.

Yukino's frozen state completely collapsed in an instant, and her expression softened as usual.

If...if we were just having a meal together...

"Yukino."

At some point, Mrs. Yukinoshita had turned around and was looking at her gently with her eyes lowered.

I sighed in disappointment, thinking that I was still too immature.

She calmly reminded him, "Say goodbye to Qianye-jun. We need to go home."

Yukino finally took a step forward at this moment: "...Goodbye."

"Yeah." Yuan Qianye smiled and waved at them.

Mrs. Yukinoshita expressed her concern as an elder: "It's not too early. Do you want me to give you a ride?"
