How rude, we are pure love!

If Yukinoshita isn't here, then she's most likely... gone to Tokyo to find him?

"She doesn't know my exact location, so where can she find me? The correct understanding should be that she waits for me here!"

Qingye strolled on the street and muttered to himself that this simulation was different from the last one. The last time was almost an extension of reality, so Banai saw that they could find him easily, but this time everything was almost disrupted. Even though they were both sixteen years old, a lot of information didn't match.

Is she stupid...

Kiyono hesitated whether to go back to Tokyo to find Yukino, but at this moment, a long horn sounded from behind him. He stopped and saw a nostalgic black Toyota Century parked in front of him. The next second, the passenger door opened and a beautiful woman walked out.

A kimono-clad beauty who looked seven points like Yukinoshita walked in front of him. Her temperament was both elegant and majestic. The woman stared at him and asked softly:

"Excuse me, classmate, what can I do for you?"

Only then did Qingye suddenly come back to his senses and noticed the mansion in front of him - he subconsciously walked to his own... Yukinoshita's home!

He raised his head with a complicated expression, and his cold and elegant face overlapped with the one in his memory. Now... does Yukinoshita's mother still remember him?

He was not sure and did not know how to explain it. He could not say that in another world he had lived in Yukinoshita's house since he was a child, or even for his entire life. If he did that, Yukinoshita's mother would think he was a lunatic.

He could only say:

"Mother... uh, I'm just strolling around."

He stopped talking. Yukinoshita's mother's gentle gaze was filled with a hint of doubt: "You're lying. This is a rather remote place."

...Is he really suspected?

Under her gaze, Qingye thought for a moment and explained, "Ms. Yukinoshita and I are classmates, and I came here today to visit her."

Normally, this is not a good answer, and his mother might label him as a secret admirer who is harassing her daughter. However, his purpose is to test whether Yukino is at home. As long as he meets her, everything will be fine!

However, Yukinoshita's mother's answer was far beyond his expectations.

She tilted her head, still with a gentle smile, but her tone was filled with doubts that could not be concealed -

"Ms. Yukinoshita? There's no one in our family who can be called Ms. Yukinoshita."

Qingye widened his eyes in confusion.

Wait...what does this mean? How did the plot suddenly go from everyday youth to the supernatural?

"It's your daughter, Yukinoshita Yukino." He said something a little rude, but he couldn't care less now.

"Yukino..."

Mother Yukinoshita muttered the name softly, lowering her brows in distress. She said slowly, "You may be mistaken. I never had a daughter. However, this name is very beautiful."

The way she looked at Qingye gradually changed, as if she was looking at a child with some mental problems.

Qingye's breath hitched, and he felt the world before him go dark. What on earth was going on? Hadn't he returned to reality? Why did Yukino seem to have disappeared?

He called out to the system in his heart, but Tongzi was also pretending to be dead, which made him even more confused, accompanied by unstoppable panic... What if Yukinoshita Yukino and Haruno are no longer in this world?

"...Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukino, have you really forgotten? Haruno is nineteen years old, a student in the science and engineering department of a national university. She's a superhero who can do everything perfectly. Yukino, on the other hand, is a student at Sobu High School and is aloof and awkward..."

He looked into Yukinoshita's mother's eyes and kept his tone steady.

But Yukinoshita's mother just put away her smile and shook her head.

Kiyono left, realizing that he couldn't find the answer. When he turned around, Yukinoshita's mother's eyes suddenly softened, revealing an innocent, yet smug and happy smile.

Only when facing separation can we realize the preciousness of this relationship...

Anyway, they will definitely meet today, so it’s okay even if it’s just a little joke, right?

Looking down at the message "I'm going to Tokyo" sent by Yukino on her phone, Yukinoshita's mother raised her eyebrows. She opened the fan and put it against the corner of her mouth. The smile was very similar to Haruno's.

Yangno, Yukino, remember to bring this child home tomorrow, okay?

*

Kiyono sighed and walked on the street. He suddenly felt that this city was very unfamiliar. If it weren't for the two girls from the Yukinoshita family, Chiba would just be an ordinary town to him.

His reason told him that things would not turn out like this, and that Yukinoshita's mother was just joking with him, but he couldn't control his emotions.

He still clearly remembered his meeting with Yukinoshita Yukino in the real world. That was not in another world. The first heroine he met was Yukinoshita. This was absolutely true.

Don't panic.

Let’s continue looking for Yukinoshita according to the plan.

Qingye held his aching forehead and walked towards the station anxiously. Unknowingly, it was already dusk. The sunset in summer is the most vivid. The setting sun shines through the mountains, coating the steel and concrete of the city with golden glow, as if giving life to civilization.

It is a hot summer day, but the world is not warm at all.

He bought a ticket for the next stop and went to the place where Yukinoshita Yukino used to go often.

The tram was moving forward with a clatter of knocks.

Kiyono stood by the window, looking casually at the receding scenery outside. He did not return to Tokyo because he felt that Yukinoshita would definitely come back after she couldn't find him, and they would meet here.

The light of the setting sun suddenly became brighter, and he raised his head. At this moment, another tram whizzed past on the tracks. At the moment the two trams crossed, he saw a familiar face through the window.

——That’s Yukinoshita Yukino.

They traveled through time and space and met again.

004. Eight Falls from the Sky, Fierce and Furious! [Two-in-One]

Facing the sunset breeze, Qingye is running in the Japanese drama.

Yes, he had already felt that the shadows of the protagonists of countless classic love works were pushing him gently from behind, and that infinite power was flowing through his body.

At this moment, he will definitely be able to surpass cars, surpass planes, surpass time, and reach that perfect ending!

This is the sharp sword born from all beautiful feelings!

He got off the bus, ran out of the ticket gate, and searched among the huge crowd. It was as if there was an invisible red thread pulling him, and he ran firmly in a certain direction.

Relief, excitement, happiness, hesitation... complex emotions surged in his body, but these millions of emotions had one thing in common: he wanted to see her.

The road became more and more remote, and his steps became slower and slower. Although this was also Chiba, it was already considered the countryside. What came into view were golden wheat fields, rolling hills, and towering electric towers.

Qingye stopped and stood beside the abandoned small train station. The watchtower and the platform were lonely, without even a ticket gate. The railway was mottled and there was no one around. In front of him, the wheat fields were burning in the dusk.

The wind blew from the distant mountains, stirring up layers of golden waves. The wheat ears rustled in the wind, and the sweet fragrance of soil and wheat straw could be smelled in the air. He suddenly raised his head and saw a stunning face.

Under the dazzling sunset, in front of the golden wheat field, a black-haired girl stood quietly against the light, her white dress fluttering in the wind, like a sail that could fly away at any time. They looked at each other across the abandoned railway, and suddenly felt that the sounds of the whole world had faded away, leaving only the beating of their hearts.

Qingye was silent, then smiled, crossed the railroad tracks, and walked towards her step by step. Sweat slid into his eyes, but he did not blink, as if if he lost sight of her for just one second, the figure would turn into a golden phantom and disappear.

They finally met face to face. He stared at the girl's delicate face. Everything seemed like yesterday.

After a long silence, before the shadow overlapped with the body, Qingye blinked, revealed a smile that matched the situation, opened his hands, and said -

"We finally met, shouldn't we give each other a hug?"

Hearing this, the cold girl covered her face with one hand like a little girl, with happiness flashing in her eyes - this was of course impossible. Yukinoshita Yukino just glanced at him lightly and said with disgust, "You are all sweaty and dirty, please don't touch me."

Qingye's gaze lingered on Yukinoshita's fair forehead, where beads of sweat sparkled and black hair stuck to her neck. He thought, isn't it the same for you? Maybe you came to this place on purpose to wait for me. What a girlish heart! - he didn't dare to say this out loud.

"Really."

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed, suddenly picked up a handkerchief, and calmly wiped the sweat off his face. Her movements were as skillful as a virtuous wife who had been with him for many years.

There was another silence. The sunset was like the beautiful gradient of a painting. The orange-red turned into tangerine color, and the tangerine color turned into lavender purple. The clouds were stretched very long, and one or two naughty stars could be seen. The two of us just looked at each other.

There were actually many things they wanted to say, but at this point there was no need for too many words. The two of them had already been in tune with each other. The wheat waves were surging all around them. The scene was like a reunion after a hundred years of separation, so joyful and so clear.

Qingye couldn't help but immerse himself in this movie-like beauty, until...

until……

"Hi! I'm here too! Give me a hug too!"

The wheat field was suddenly parted, revealing a bright smiling face. Yukinoshita Haruno, who was also wearing a snow-white gauze dress, walked towards the two of them.

At this moment, the sisters of the Yukinoshita family once again showed their completely opposite characteristics in front of him: the elder sister was warm and bright, while the younger sister was proud and cold.

It really makes me miss it... Qingye sighed, then turned around naturally.

"Oh, Grandpa Qingye is really getting old and confused. His wife died a long time ago..."

But the next second, two small hands pressed on his shoulders. Although their hands were so slender, he was fixed in place by a strange force and could not move.

Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile: "Oh my, is this how Seino-kun reacts when he sees his lover? I'm so sad, sister, you have to show the harem of a future great writer!"

Yukinoshita Yukino was also smiling, but her smile was tinged with frost. "Maybe it's not wrong to be dead? After all, for a normal man, usually he would only flirt with other women after his partner dies, right? Mr. Scumbag?"

Yang No's expression was serious: "Yukino, I don't allow you to describe your own sister as another woman!"

You two, stop squeezing my bones while you're talking! Are you trying to murder me?

As if they had heard his thoughts, the two girls, although they were mocking him, their hands were much lighter and they started to massage him.

After a while, Yukinoshita withdrew her hand and reached out to smooth her black hair.

"go home."

Come back home?

Kiyono was stunned. The only place he could call home in Chiba was the Yukinoshita family. He suddenly remembered that since Yukinoshita Yukino and Haruno appeared in front of him, it meant that Yukinoshita's mother did it on purpose, and she should also have some simulated memory.

He hesitated. In this way, he could indeed go back there, but his relationship with the Yukinoshita family in reality was completely different, and there was no adoption incident. It always felt weird to do so... He should build a different relationship.

Seeing Qingye's hesitation, the two Yukinoshita raised their eyebrows in tacit understanding - he is getting too independent!

"It seems that Kiyono-kun is not only a scumbag, but also wants to upgrade to a scumbag who abandons his family?" Yukinoshita Yukino said with indifference.

Yukinoshita Haruno opened her mouth and wanted to follow her sister to trick Kiyono back home, but at this time she rolled her eyes and inexplicably had a bold idea.

If Yukino were to bring him to her mother like this, it would be like encountering flowers blooming in spring. The future ending would most likely be like the simulation. They would be together for life, make a contract, and live together. And she, who met him at the wrong time, could only restrain herself and find another way to be with him.

She greedily wanted more - last time she restrained herself and withdrew on her own initiative, but now on this road of life where there was no turning back, she also wanted to have the right to stay by his side openly.

"Yukino, please be patient today and let Kiyono-kun be alone."

She interrupted her sister with an impeccable smile.

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and looked at her, somewhat confused as to why her sister, who was on the same side as her, would say that.

"Mother probably doesn't know all this yet. If I rashly bring Qingye home, my initial favorability might plummet to the bottom... If I'm marrying into her family, I should take it slow, right?"

Yang Nai gave a convincing explanation - which was also the truth. The first thing they did when they got up today was to look for Qingye. They had not met their mother yet, so naturally they did not know the specific situation.

Yukinoshita also understood that getting her mother's approval was not an easy task...but why did she always feel something was wrong? She glanced at her sister suspiciously, her brows furrowing even deeper.

"Anyway, let's take the tram back first."

Qingye took the lead.

At this time, the setting sun just sank below the ridge line, and the whole world darkened.

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at his back, her eyes bright as twinkling stars in the twilight.

*

The three of them returned to Chiba, had a simple dinner, and then Qingye found a hotel nearby.

They talked about the past and the future, parting and meeting.

After dinner, they followed him to the hotel and seemed to want to stay with him for a while, but a phone call interrupted Yukino's thoughts. Her mother asked them to go home.

After they left, the night wind from Qianye slipped in through the gap in the window that was not closed tightly, lifting a corner of the curtain.

Qingye lay on his back on the big bed in the hotel, his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling in a daze. The humming of the air conditioner and the honking of the tram in the distance, everything seemed so unbelievably real that the heart in his chest finally settled down.

"They are all here..."

He suddenly grinned and laughed foolishly into the air.

But many problems also emerged shortly afterwards.

In real life, how should he handle the relationship between Yukino and Haruno?

And the reply he promised to give to Banaijian...

Logically speaking, in the simulation, he had already decided to protect Yukinoshita for the rest of his life. Although it wasn't entirely love, it was enough for him to decisively reject other girls. If it was when he just woke up, he would have thought so, but now...

Haruno, Yanami... These beautiful faces appeared in his mind. He could sense Yanami's feelings, and also knew Haruno's suppressed affection for him. In the Japanese comic stories, the asshole boys would not choose any of them and would rather drag it on, because after making a choice, all the old relationships would immediately deteriorate and collapse, leading to a disordered future.

Choosing someone means not choosing someone. As long as the status quo is maintained, the good times that people nostalgize can continue, and tomorrow's things can be dealt with tomorrow.

Moreover, once the defense line of the mind is broken, the human heart will gradually slide into the abyss.

For example, I decided to only look at my phone for five minutes before going to bed, but when I closed my eyes it was already three o'clock. For example, I decided to only play with fish for five minutes before studying, but when I read again it was already tomorrow. Or, for example, the decline of the soul...
