"Because... because he always watches the snow in the courtyard when it snows, right?"

【——14:23】

A perfect short-haired woman suddenly broke into the camera. Her every frown and smile were like early cherry blossoms covered with dew, showing the etiquette and style that a young lady should have.

"Hey, you can just call me Haruno. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I have accumulated enough anecdotes about the Yukinoshita family to fill a book!"

After the words fell, the serious atmosphere at the scene instantly became a lot lighter, the staff laughed, and even the dull recording camera seemed to come alive.

[Ms. Haruno grew up with Mr. Kiyono, right? What was Mr. Kiyono like as a child? Did he love writing from a young age?]

"Hmm... This question is a little difficult to answer. I'll give you an example and you'll understand."

Yang Nai suddenly took out a photo, and the professional photography team immediately turned the camera around. In the yellowed picture, three little kids were huddled under a tree in the courtyard: Xiao Qingye was holding a picture with a bright smile, and Xiao Xue Nai had a helpless look on her face, and she was making a V sign in front of the mirror.

"We were playing a literary game, and my sister said, 'Seven days of cherry blossoms is too short,' so Seino-kun drew cherry blossoms in his notebook and said with a smile, 'Then I'll draw cherry blossoms on my picture, so they won't wither.' He even wrote a waka poem on the spot!"

The short-haired girl showed a bright smile, and her perfect aura also had a hint of her sister's worldly air.

[As an older sister, how does Ms. Haruno view the existence of Mr. Kiyono? ]

Well, Yukinoshita Haruno's beautiful eyes changed slightly, and there was an indescribable meaning in her words.

"Well, as my older sister—while everyone else is focused on my smile, this idiot is the only one who remembers that I hate black coffee the most, right...?"

She flashed a mischievous smile to the camera.

"As for the opposite sex—this is a secret for now."

"So the conclusion is, this guy is the most dangerous person in our family. He clearly said he would provide support from behind, but in the end he secretly took the initiative in other people's hearts. This is the mindset of a black-bellied writer!"

Go to the university and debate with great scholars.

【——18:20】

The setting sun adds magnificent colors to the courtyard. The beauty in kimono kneels on the tatami. The moment she raises her head, ripples appear on the hem of her kimono, just like deep snow falling into a mountain stream.

There were two books on the table in front of her.

[You are truly a great mother who has raised three wonderful children. However, since Mr. Seino is your adopted child, the issue of family succession is inevitable. Do you have any plans to let Mr. Seino start his own business?]

"This child grew up with us. He will always be a member of the Yukinoshita family."

Yukinoshita's mother's voice was gentle, yet contained an unquestionable tone.

"So, are you letting Mr. Kiyono marry into your family? Which heir do you want him to assist?"

Here comes the tricky question.

She knew that the other party was not concerned about the Yukinoshita family, but about Kiyono's choice, or his personal news.

Yukinoshita Haruno's gaze was directed straight at her, and this was also the attitude her mother wanted to express.

Yukinoshita's mother's answer was as light as tea:

"Qingye-kun's current focus must be on studying and writing. Regarding the issue of the successor, we have not yet decided."

……strangeness?

The camera did not capture the gloomy gaze from the side.

Why is my mother unwilling to acknowledge my identity in public?

Could it be that the mother is serious?

Before, she could always comfort herself that her mother just wanted to give her sister space to grow. In her heart, she still believed in herself. After all, hadn't their relationship always been like this?

As an excellent older sister, she guides Yukino, and Yukino grows freely while chasing after her and becoming a better person. It has always been like this.

Yukinoshita Haruno pursed her lips and tried to show her usual smile, an elegant smile, like a mask she had practiced thousands of times, but the arc of her lips suddenly broke, and she felt something flowing through her body.

Something that was not blood flowed from the heart to the whole body. It was dark, sticky, and symbolized filthy emotions, accumulating into thick silt in the lake of the heart.

Those emotions that were about to be forgotten, emotions that I deliberately forgot, are struggling to emerge from the bottom of the lake.

My mind was in a mess and my breathing became short.

Forget it.

The mother has her reasons for doing this. After all, she is currently recording a program and has to consider things from a family perspective, which also concerns Qingye.

If it were her, she would do the same.

The mother was not favoring Yukino, nor was she taking away the only thing that was important to her just because she saw Yukino trying harder.

She probably found a dozen excuses for herself.

Because, if she doesn't do this, if she doesn't think this way, she won't be able to maintain herself.

Just lock it up like usual, she thought to herself.

It would be best to lock the colors of sadness, anger, and sorrow in the box as well.

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled, her eyes bathed in the sunset's Nadeshiko color.

That was an unrecorded scene, only Qingye was looking at her.

With a snap, the screen turned off.

Eriri threw the remote control aside, and a pretty face that looked extremely confused was reflected on the dark TV screen.

This is……

What is this!

The heroine here should obviously be the Sawamura family! If she had given away a warm home instead of eel rice, she would have won by now! Give me another chance!

The blonde girl clutched her head and wailed.

N--n ...

The next moment.

She didn't move, and her whole body turned into a gray sculpture.

The loser is dead.

Chapter 108: Yukino returns alone.

The ever-changing gradient colors of the setting sun colored the view. Yukinoshita Yukino squinted her eyes and looked at her mother in the spotlight in front of her.

She had no objection to her mother's words, because even her only chance now was given by her mother. Her mother could give it or take it back, and she had no choice at the moment.

But - Yukinoshita suddenly noticed her sister's profile. That unreal expression was like a fallen leaf that would disappear in the dusk and evening breeze in the next moment.

What is my sister thinking about now?

What is time in a simulation?

Yukinoshita Yukino has been thinking like this occasionally lately.

It has been nearly ten years since elementary school.

ten years.

This long period of time is enough for children to grow into adolescence and for adults to enter middle age.

But she could not feel the heavy sense of disappearance or reality. Was it because she was just walking the path she took as a child again, or was it because her perception of time was dull and unreal at her age?

Maybe in the next decade, or the next decade after that, she will have the real feeling.

But now, the relationship between her, Qingye, and her sister, and the time they spent together, are inextricably intertwined, and are actually full of little happiness that makes people nostalgic.

Before she knew it, she was immersed in it.

Will this rope that connects them break one day?

Will they make changes?

She dropped her eyes.

*

After the TV program was broadcast, the popularity of Kiyono and the Yukinoshita family quietly rose to a higher level, and even the search for "Beauty Yukinoshita Haruno" became a hot search for a while.

Yukinoshita Yukino's life seemed to have not changed. She just studied in the abandoned classroom every day. Occasionally, she looked up out the window, watching the blooming spring cherry blossoms, the summer clouds, the falling autumn leaves, and the passing seasons, and she would think of someone.

Then, winter came with snow.

Snowing.

Crystal snowflakes were dancing in the air, the cold wind was whistling, and layers of snow were piled up on the branches of the trees. Occasionally, the slender branches could not bear the weight, and they trembled slightly, and the deep snow fell down.

The cold air made people shiver.

The boy stood in front of the window of the abandoned classroom, exhaled towards the window, stared at the fog on the glass, and spoke.

"It's snowing."

"There are black tea bags in the third compartment of the tea cabinet. Go make some yourself."

With a rustling sound, the pages of the book turned gently.

After several seconds, the stern ice girl raised her eyes.

"How did you find time to come?"

“Because it’s snowing.”

The boy looked up at the thick clouds and spoke in a deep voice.

"unclear meaning."

The girl was harshly critical.

“When it snows, I think of your name.”

Qingye added.

"That's too greasy. Are you the second male lead in an idol drama?"

"The snow has already fallen in my heart."

"Zero points! If I saw this line in your book for the first time, I would definitely block you without hesitation, okay?"

I give up on you. Yukinoshita put the book on the table helplessly, then got up to boil water, scald the cup, put tea powder in it, make tea, and handed the cup to him in a bad mood.

Qingye took the cup, blew the tea in his hand, sat down at the table, and said leisurely:

"Time flies."

Yes... Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously wanted to agree, but quickly pursed her lips.

However, she felt the same way.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and the life of the second year of high school was about to end - but none of the imagined campus life happened.

School festivals, school trips, summer fireworks... It's like carefully cutting off the beauty of youth with a pair of scissors, without any emotion, leaving only key choices.

Perhaps this is the gentleness of God, Yukinoshita Yukino thought, if you experience everything in a simulated life, then the experiences in the real world will lose a lot of emotions and excitement.

In another year, her and her sister's future and destination will be officially decided. What choice will they make then?

If possible—

Yukinoshita's transparent and clear eyes quietly watched the boy beside her.

She hopes to experience her true youth again with this person.

"Hello, Ms. Yukinoshita."

Qingye suddenly pulled out two slightly curled-edge tickets from his pocket and coughed. "My editor gave them to me. He told me to go to the amusement park to collect materials..."

"so?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at him teasingly.

"Let's go play together tomorrow night?"

Qingye chose the most frank approach.
