How rude, we are pure love!

Qingye swallowed the ice cream and felt only sweetness.

Whenever there is any misunderstanding between the two that may affect their relationship, they will solve it on the spot and seriously maintain the relationship.

However, both of them misunderstood the human nature of pursuing beauty. In order to leave better offspring, people will instinctively seek out strong, healthy, and beautiful people, especially college students, regardless of gender.

Banaijian happened to see it, and more than one thing... This time she was an eyewitness.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Kiyono?"

The two girls from the literature department approached cautiously as if they had discovered a precious cultural relic, with stars twinkling in their eyes. After entering high school, many literary seniors suggested that he appear in person to promote the literary world, which could be regarded as injecting some fresh vitality into the literary world. This made the female college students who usually like to study literature recognize him at a glance.

"Hello, senior sister."

Qingye greeted her politely, while opposite her, Banai had a blank expression on her face, her teeth had already bitten tiny cracks in the plastic spoon.

"Mr. Kiyono is even more handsome than in the photo. I've always been a fan of yours. The stories you write combine the beauty of traditional literature with the beautiful aspirations that only us young people can understand..."

The eldest girl handed over the notebook with blushing cheeks.

"Could you please give me an autograph? Please write 'To Xiaoxun who will always love you'!"

"Also, there's me! If you don't mind, could you give me your contact information? I'd like to talk to you about Schopenhauer, Freud, Sartre, and the changes in literature..."

Banaijian's toes kept shaking on the ground.

Qingye glanced at the blue-haired girl and wrote his signature casually, as if he was curious about what was going on here. Many students came over, and after hearing his name, they instantly became equally enthusiastic - most of them were girls, and they squeezed the blue-haired girl out.

Finally, this round of events ended when classmate Banaijian dragged him away.

After that, Banaijian let go of his hand and walked ahead without saying a word.

"Just allow yourself." Her voice was muffled. "Kiyano-kun actually enjoys being admired, right?"

“That’s not the case…”

Qingye coughed. Seeing this, Banai gritted his teeth and walked faster. He decided to... forget it, he would ignore him for the next ten minutes!

This idiot!

Then, her hand was suddenly held gently.

Feeling the warm touch, the blue-haired girl's heart trembled, and a blush appeared on her pretty face, but she did not turn around, but said in a cold voice:

"What are you doing?"

"Well..." Qingye said, "Actually, I didn't sign any exclusive title, nor did I provide any contact information."

Ba Nai's breathing stagnated.

"Like in the situation just now, I'm just an emotionless printer, and those special writing permissions..." Qingye said with a smile, "have been monopolized by a certain editor."

Ba Naijian's earlobes and eyelids were burning hot.

After saying this, Qingye wanted to let go of her hand, but the girl held it back and refused to let go.

104. Family Meeting.jpg [Two-in-One]

Qingye went home.

Literally, he returned to the Yukinoshita home.

But this trip was not intended to improve his status above the ceiling at home, but another major event in his life——

the University.

After entering the second year of high school, there is only one year left before the college entrance examination. Those who are interested and have family assets have already started to receive private tutoring, mark questions, make mock exam papers, collect and analyze the current score lines, etc. The main focus is on open-book exams.

As a member of the upper class, Yukinoshita's mother also felt a slight sense of crisis in her heart when she saw the military preparations of others - Qingye, as a small account with full initial attributes, must not let down the family's glory.

Get admitted to the University of Tokyo and bring honor to your family, right now.

In the tea room, the bamboo tube made a clanging sound as it went up and down, and Qingye's heart also beat up and down. At this moment, he looked at the tutorial books and test papers piled in front of him that were higher than the table, and his mouth opened slightly.

"Well, um, Auntie..." He struggled stubbornly, "Actually, I can take extra classes in my senior year. You have to have confidence in my talent!"

The seniors he admired had achieved the feat of completing the Tokyo University exam in three months. While he might not be able to achieve this feat, six months was definitely enough time! He had to practice questions from now until the end of next year!

Qingye's scalp tingled and he subconsciously wanted to run away.

However, it was dismissed.

The elegant beauty in kimono was sitting at a low table sipping tea. Her face was soft and had no trace of weathering. When she heard this, she gave the boy a reproachful look.

"Kid, why do you always think about pushing yourself? Accumulating knowledge over time is the best path. This is a top-tier institution, and the opponents you'll face are the best students. You can never be too prepared."

Yukinoshita Haruno, who was sitting next to him, watched this scene with her eyes curved like two delicate and perfect crescent moons - she and Yukino were also called back by their mother.

She nudged Qingye with her elbow, with an expectant look on her face, and whispered:

"This is a good opportunity. Hurry up and resist your mother's tyranny. I will be there to cheer you on."

"Don't ask me to do what you want to do yourself." Qingye replied in the same low voice.

The main reason is that he feels it is unnecessary. As long as he demonstrates his unparalleled ability in solving problems, he believes that those in power will definitely return his freedom!

"Coward, idiot, wimp, are you still a man? How can you manage the family in the future like this!" Yang Nai reached out and pinched his waist, feeling very disappointed in him.

On the other side, Yukinoshita watched the interaction between the two and sighed helplessly. In fact, she had the same opinion as her mother.

After a pause, Yukinoshita's eyes moved to her mother's face. She hesitated, took a breath, and gently encouraged herself in her heart, trying to make her tone sound steady:

"Mom...I also want to apply to the University of Tokyo."

This was an idea she had had for a long time. After all, she had several more years than others, so it would not be difficult for her to get into the top institution of learning.

If she could get into the University of Tokyo, she would have some advantages in all aspects, and she would have truly defeated her sister...

Moreover, I can continue to stay in the same school with Qingye.

After she finished speaking, Yukinoshita Yukino secretly went to peek at the expressions of the three people. Her mother seemed to be in deep thought, her sister had a strange expression, and Kiyono...that guy was not important. The air was so quiet that it made people uneasy.

"I see, Yukino wants to apply to this school..."

Yang Nai spoke softly, as if trying to understand the meaning behind the words, and her navy blue eyes looked towards her mother.

The kimono beauty tapped her palm with her folding fan and asked with a smile: "Does Yukino seriously want to work in politics or business? Or does she just want to get into a good school? Or maybe..."

"A little bit of both..." Yukinoshita lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"What kind of answer is that? When discussing your ambitions, you should at least give some more plausible reasons on the surface." Yukinoshita's mother's smile remained gentle. "If you can't even convince yourself, how can you convince others?"

“That’s my goal.”

The resonant sound of a bamboo tube knocking against a stone echoed from outside the paper door, sending a shiver through Yukinoshita's body, making her even less confident. Subconsciously, she glanced at Qingye with glimmering eyes. When facing her mother and sister, this guy was the only one she could rely on...

"Then you can go and try it with Kiyono-kun. It's always a good thing to get a higher score." Yukinoshita's mother chose to observe for the time being.

Yang No suddenly felt a little irritated. She saw Yukino standing against her again. She had clearly warned her sister many times that there was a sinkhole ahead that could kill people, but the girl still sneaked to the edge of the pit and tried to jump down.

She even wanted to say that they should exchange - but she was unwilling and couldn't bear to do so. In fact, she felt that her life had become a little more interesting recently, because she thought of Qingye, the boy she watched grow up, who would definitely protect her well in the future. Thinking of this, she felt a little more hopeful.

——Of course, even if it’s an exchange, the prize (Kiyano) is hers!

Qingye frowned. Aren't we discussing my Todai line? How did the situation suddenly change to a sisterly rivalry? If it were before, he would definitely be a staunch retainer of the Yukino faction, but people are all made of flesh and blood. Whether it's the middle Yukinoshita or the small Yukinoshita, I will support her equally!

He stood up bravely.

"I want to apply to the Art Department of the University of Tokyo!"

The moment this explosive declaration exploded in the tea room, three pairs of eyes, carved from ice and snow, simultaneously flashed with sharp, cold light. Yukinoshita Haruno exclaimed in amazement, her teacup hovering just off her lips. In the main seat, Yukinoshita's mother even lowered the cup she had raised to her lips.

The scene devolved into personal admonitions, criticisms, and teasing, the three Yukinoshitas' voices interweaving like a trio. While shameless, this self-destructive diversionary tactic was incredibly effective for the perfectionists of the Yukinoshita family.

After a flurry of activity, Yukinoshita's mother gracefully tapped the tea tray. With the crisp sound of porcelain, the paper door swung open, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, two dark figures emerged like summoned beasts from the demonic realm.

"This is the special lecturer I hired for you."

Qingye's mouth twitched.

The woman on the left is wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and the reflection of the lenses reveals the indifference of knowledge. The uncle on the right is embracing Showa-era literature, and the afterimage of Natsume Soseki and Mori Ogai's academic debate can be vaguely seen in the reflected bald head. A dark miasma rises behind the two people, which are the wings of Satan and the horns of Mephisto!

"Yukinoshita, Yukinoshita, save me!"

*

Qingye was personally escorted to the study by the Aikido master, and began his journey to become the King of Scrolls.

Read, study, read, study...

Some knowledge only needs to be memorized and saved in the historical record, while some knowledge really needs to be carefully thought about and learned, and then...

The weekend is coming to an end.

But every weekend from now on, he will have to undergo random tests and assessments by the two masters. Most importantly, he will have to live with the Yukinoshita family again, because Big Yukinoshita will supervise him personally - to prevent him from playing baseball or playing games again.

After two days of high-intensity input, Qingye felt a little dizzy. He found a free time, got up, went outside to look at the scenery and take a break.

The moonlight was bright and dappled, spreading across the courtyard.

At this moment, the crisp sound of footsteps hitting the corridor came from far away. The clear and transparent sound was wrapped in the night dew and floated over. A black-haired woman was leaning against the weeping cherry tree against the moonlight.

"Is today's special training over?" Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile.

"There's still more than an hour left." Qingye sighed melancholy, "Just wait and see. Today I'm determined to single-handedly conquer this endless sea of ​​questions!"

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at him like this and blinked. Her eyes sparkled brightly in the moonlight, like a little girl about to do something bad. She suddenly spoke:

"Would you like to go to dinner together?"

"Now?" Qingye's heart moved.

"Now."

"Walk."

The two pairs of pupils reached an agreement between their intersecting breaths, which was a breath of relief in the few moments of seemingly freedom.

Yukinoshita Haruno's eyebrows curved, she grabbed the boy's wrist and rushed out. The ribbon of her dress brushed against the bluestone lantern, startling a flock of fireflies. In a trance, it was as if she had returned to the Heian period and eloped with Genji under the moonlight.

Did she simply think it was fun, or did she see her old self?

At this moment, Qingye seemed to be standing in the folds of time and space, lost in thought. Was Yangno also expecting someone to take her into the unknown night when her soul was tired?

He didn't know this yet, and what he also didn't know was that after the two of them slipped away quietly, the cold girl with waist-length black hair frowned and looked back and forth for the boy.

——Where did this guy go? I clearly prepared some nutritious snacks for him today.

but……

"Wait? The gate is in the opposite direction!"

"Shh-"

Yang Nai turned around, raised her index finger to his lips, and smiled pure and charmingly.

“This is the right beginning for a fugitive drama.”

The evening breeze is blowing, and barbecue brings the atmosphere of life.

In front of the barbecue restaurant, the boss oiled the skewers and grilled them leisurely. Yukinoshita Haruno bought two bottles of wine and handed Kiyono a bottle of non-alcoholic sweet wine.

As the charcoal fire flickered, warm orange sparks mixed with the aroma of cumin danced in the evening breeze. In the distance, the glass curtain wall under the night sky reflected the flowing river of lights, as if someone had crushed a piece of the Milky Way and mixed it in.

The fashionable and beautiful woman supported her face with one hand and looked at him with a smile:

"Would you like to have a drink with me? Maybe something unexpected will happen."

"The eldest lady feels the pressure from her younger sister's awakening, so she wants to win over me, the second son, in advance?" Qingye said deliberately.

"Uh-huh, pressure? You mean Yukino?"

Yang Naigao raised her slender eyebrows and inadvertently hugged her chest with both hands, as if to emphasize something.

"I shouldn't have compared the Second Miss with you. I'm very sorry." Qingye said solemnly.

That’s good enough, Yang Nai nodded with satisfaction.

She stretched out her long, slender hands and looked at her nails. Her voice was vague, not like that of Prince Genji riding his horse into the distance, but rather like that of a ghost girl.

"Qingye-kun, do you have any ideals?"

Her timeline has officially connected to another world, but when she faced her mother just now, she suddenly realized that she had not made any changes at all. Whether it was her mother's affairs or her sister's affairs, she was still the same as before.

She has no ideals, no goals, and can't find her true self. Only Qingye is her true self. Qingye is the only change in her life. She can't help but keep watching him.
