In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

"Thank you, but Touma's mother called a taxi for us today."

"Come to my house for dinner next time when you have time. I cooked last time, so next time we can try Yukino's cooking."

Mrs. Yukinoshita raised the corner of her mouth, said some polite words, and walked away with her two daughters.

After walking a distance in different directions, Yuan Qianye turned his head to look at Hesha. She didn't seem to be affected by the encounter just now.

He asked, "Would you like to continue shopping for a while?"

Hesha understood the meaning of his words and asked, "Do you want to go home?"

He shook his head: "I was worried about your stomach, how is it now?"

"I told you it's all right now."

"Okay, let's go shopping for a while."

----

On the other side, Yukinoshita, mother and daughter said goodbye to Yuan Qianye and the other two.

Yang Nai is fine.

Her heart was proportional to her bust size, and she also saw Hesha's general personality. She was choked by this natural little sister and didn't take it to heart at all.

But Mrs. Yukinoshita and Yukino each had their own concerns, and the number of times they spoke afterwards was significantly reduced.

So they let the driver pick them up and took them back home.

It was outside before, and there were outsiders in the car.

So Mrs. Yukinoshita restrained herself and didn't say much.

But now is the time.

"Yukino, come with me." After changing her shoes at the entrance, Mrs. Yukinoshita took the lead and walked towards the living room.

Yang Noi, who was behind her, came to her sister's side and asked, "Do you need help from your sister?"

Xue No shook her head: "Sister, you should get some rest early."

She had a premonition of something and didn't want to get her sister lectured as well.

But Yang Nai smiled. Although she bullied and teased her sister many times, she was still very loyal and followed her to the living room to sit down.

Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at Haruno, but didn't say much.

She looked at her now more beautiful little daughter and sighed slightly: "Xue No, Mom must have told you many times before.

When you encounter important things outside, don't let your inner thoughts show on your face so that others can notice.

You must not be swayed by preconceived emotions that may cloud your judgment."

Yang Nai picked up the tangerine on the coffee table and peeled it quietly.

Yukino was silent for a moment, lowering her head slightly: "I'm sorry, Mom, I disappoint you."

Mrs. Yukinoshita shook her head. "I just met your friend, it's nothing serious. I'm worried that when you grow up and become the head of the Yukinoshita family, if you continue to behave like this, you'll suffer for it sooner or later."

"..."

Her mother was right, and Yukino knew it.

This is her personality. She has an almost paranoid sense of rightness, which is true for others and even more so for herself.

She couldn't make an absolute guarantee about something she might not be able to do.

"Alright, alright, Mom, that future you're talking about is too far away. It's too early to think about that time now. Besides, even if that time comes, I'll still be at the Yukinoshita family, right? Here, have some oranges. They're so sweet."

Yang Nai ate one herself and smiled as she stuffed one into her mother's mouth.

Mrs. Yukinoshita was interrupted by her and couldn't continue speaking, so she just went downhill.

"Xiao Xue, you too, don't be so sad. Learn from your sister and think more deeply.

Although my sister can't beat Touma Kazusa in the piano competition, she won't lose to her in other areas.

That girl seems quite aloof, but I wonder if she'll get thrown to tears by her sister if they come to the Aikido dojo and face off head-on.

Mrs. Yukinoshita raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this and touched Haruno's head with her fingertips.

Yang Nai stuck out his tongue and smiled mischievously, indicating that he was joking, and continued,

"That's probably what you mean. Similarly, although Chiya-chan and Touma Kazusa are alone together tonight, the relationship between you two, as long as you know each other, is more than just this..."

She suddenly leaned over to her sister's ear, whose expression was moved, and whispered,

"...After all, you two are so close that you've even been to each other's rooms."

This sentence made Yukino's cheeks blush.

She and Yuan Qianye were clearly just friends, but because of her sister's deliberately ambiguous words, it seemed as if they really had an ambiguous relationship that went beyond the line of friendship.

Xue No felt her head getting hot and she stood up suddenly: "Mom, I'm going back to my room first."

"Wait a moment." Mrs. Yukinoshita called to her little daughter, "If you have plans for the New Year's visit soon, you don't have to come with me. Haruno will accompany me."

It is time to talk about this arrangement.

Xueno naturally understood her mother's surprise.

She wanted to refuse, but thinking about what happened just now... she nodded and agreed.

"It's time for the child to grow up." Yang Nai said in a condescending tone when he saw his sister leave the living room.

Mrs. Yukinoshita was amused by her: "You are the same, still a child."

The words before.

Mrs. Yukinoshita did not feel much urgency towards Minamoto Chiye, whom she admired.

Because both Yuan Qianye and his little daughter are still young.

But today's chance encounter, coupled with the reaction he noticed from his little daughter.

Only then did she realize that times are changing and children nowadays are becoming more and more mature earlier than in previous times.

Some things really can't seem to wait too long.

076: Her heart is colder than a fish-killing knife (5000)

"Thank you. I had a great time today."

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Hesha arrived home and stood in front of the gate of her own courtyard and awkwardly thanked Yuan Qianye.

Yuan Qianye shook his head slightly, not seeming to care: "Go back and rest early. You have my contact information, so feel free to contact me if you need anything. It's getting late, so I won't go in and disturb you."

It’s okay to disturb you…

Kazusa nodded silently.

Yuan Qianye watched her enter the house, and after seeing the light coming through the window, he turned around and got into the car with peace of mind.

After returning home, Hesha went to the kitchen and got a larger, deep bowl.

After connecting the tap water, he placed the bouquet of flowers sent by the restaurant inside and placed it on the coffee table in the living room.

She stared at him and smiled silently.

Then she immediately returned to her room and placed the Capibara doll that Yuan Qianye had forced upon her on the bedside table.

It was placed next to several cartoon dolls that her mother had given her before.

I thought about it.

She turned the positions of several dolls and placed the one Yuan Qianye gave her today in the center position.

Well, that's much better.

If you look closely, this capybara is indeed much cuter than bears, rabbits, etc.

Kazusa was admiring her masterpiece and preparing to take a family photo for the dolls.

The doorbell rang.

When she saw the face she had just said goodbye to on the surveillance screen at the entrance, her breathing quickened for a moment and she immediately opened the door impatiently.

"Sorry, I didn't want to disturb you, but I remembered that I have some unfinished business."

Gen Qianye, the other pianist, didn’t know about it, but the mother and daughter of the Touma family spent a huge amount of money to buy insurance for their hands every year.

This is the most important "tool" they rely on to make a living.

They have said before that they would try their best not to do anything that might hurt their hands.

Therefore, cooking is a taboo for them in a sense, after all, there is a risk of being burned by high temperature or cut by knives.

On the way back, Yuan Qianye thought of the rice he had washed earlier which was still on the stove.

It is obviously unlikely to expect Hesha to cook it. It would be a waste if she poured it out. No matter how rich she is, it would be a waste.

The most important thing was that he thought of Hesha's extremely painful expression when he came today, as well as the doctor's instructions.

Forget it, I'll just come back again. It's just a convenient thing to do anyway.

Watching Yuan Qianye turning on the fire to cook porridge in front of the stove, He Sha stood not far behind him, looking at his back, feeling an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

This sentiment had surfaced several times tonight, but now it was particularly evident.

She couldn't help but ask, "Is this the reason you came back?"

Yuan Qianye asked back, "If I don't come back, will you cook porridge for yourself?"

"will not."

She was too lazy to even go to the kitchen if her mother and Aunt Shibata, who was responsible for taking care of her daily life, were not around.

When she is hungry, she will choose to order takeout directly, and it has always been like this.

"That's fine, then it's really necessary for me to come back this time."

Yuan Qianye opened the refrigerator and found that there were plenty of vegetables and fruits inside.

"Do you need me to make you some snacks or something?"

"no need."

She doesn't like to eat side dishes with her porridge. She prefers to just add a spoonful of sugar and stir it to drink it sweetly.

This saved Yuan Qianye a lot of effort.

While waiting for the porridge to cook, he was not idle. He took the time to unwrap the sequined packaging on the bouquet of flowers on the coffee table.

After taking the scissors to trim the branches and the roots at the bottom, I helped to put it in the vase.

It would definitely look much more beautiful if Hesha had just thrown it into the bowl at the beginning.

When the porridge was cooked and poured into several bowls, Yuan Qianye received a call.

It was Tohka calling, asking when he would be home.

After a few simple replies, he hung up the phone.

"Wrap it in plastic wrap in about twenty minutes and put it in the refrigerator. Tomorrow, just heat it in the microwave for two minutes."

Yuan Qianye took the heat-insulating gloves and placed them on the table, patting them.

"Don't burn your hands when you heat it up. Remember to wear this."

"There's no need to specifically remind me about this kind of thing. Don't treat me like a fool!"

Hesha retorted somewhat embarrassedly.

Although she can't cook, it doesn't mean that she doesn't have the ability to take care of herself.

She clearly felt that her intelligence had been insulted...but why did she subtly feel a little happy?

"You'd better go back quickly, your family is urging you to go."

"Well, then you can just have porridge tomorrow morning, and tonight..."

"Aunt Shibata came back in the evening."
