How rude, we are pure love!

It's raining.

Tick-tick, clatter-clatter.

Qingye raised his head. He was sitting under the eaves of a closed shop. Everything in front of him was pitch black. The clouds and the moon were blocked tonight. The streets were extremely quiet. Only the street lights, windows, and neon lights in front of the shopping malls were shining brightly. The lights were hazy in the rain, as if he was the only one left in the world.

"So hungry..."

He touched his stomach, looking depressed. It had been raining for the past two days, and he had no choice but to hide. Today, he only had half a rice ball left over from yesterday.

If the effect of the Girl of Destiny is not triggered, he will be in dire straits. Even he didn't have such a difficult time last time - his identity as a child is really too inconvenient, and there is no point in being optimistic.

Although he knew that no one would come in this weather, he still placed the cardboard with the words "Three thousand (crossed out), I'll do anything for one thousand yen" in front of him, then leaned against the wall silently, looking at the ground.

Just like that time. Vivid memories began to emerge.

at this time--

"stand up."

The cold sound seemed to cut off the rain.

Qingye raised his head in a daze.

It’s like seeing a leisurely bright moon.

The sky was dim and covered with dark clouds. On the quiet street splashed with raindrops, a cold girl in a white dress stood quietly, holding an umbrella and looking down at him condescendingly.

It seems like nothing has changed—no, no, no, a lot has changed! Who is this loli version of Yukinoshita?

Qingye widened his eyes. Yes, what appeared before his eyes was Yukinoshita, who had also shrunk by one size.

Could it be that……

He had a strange expression on his face.

At this time, a cool breeze blew, rippling the hem of the girl's skirt and blowing her black hair, conveying the faint words to his ears.

"follow me."

*

【You were taken home by Yukinoshita. 】

[But what you didn't know was that after you left, a girl with sky-blue hair and twin ponytails, holding an umbrella, a steaming hot bento, and another umbrella, searched back and forth anxiously. When she didn't see you, she left in a sad and worried manner.]

075. The Yukinoshita Family Bucket is here [Four in One]

The sky was pitch black, clouds and rain blocked the moonlight, and the cold drizzle fell on the ground, gathering into streams and flowing into the drain at the corner of the street.

In the hazy rain curtain like gauze mist, the transparent umbrella seemed to hold up a small piece of sky. Under the umbrella, Qingye tilted his head to look at Xuexia who was a little taller than him.

The girl is about ten years old now, with black hair that falls below her shoulders and skin as white as snow. Walking on the quiet street, she looks like a pure and extraordinary snow girl, with a dreamlike beauty.

Although her eyes were still calm and even cold, the young Yukinoshita did not give people the impression of being cold and sharp. Instead, she had the cuteness of a little girl pretending to be a mature girl.

It really is Yukinoshita...

Kiyono had a complicated expression. He had imagined many times the second time he would meet Yukinoshita. It might have been on a youthful and sunny campus, when he accidentally passed by an abandoned classroom and saw a young girl reading. Or it might have been when they met again after achieving success and becoming a literary giant...

But he never expected to meet the ten-year-old Yukinoshita again! And to be picked up and taken home by the ten-year-old girl!

Qingye pressed his forehead with a snap. At this moment, Yukinoshita suddenly stopped and raised her head, and he also looked up.

"We're here." The girl said lightly, her voice sounded very soft as she was young.

What comes into view is a lush Japanese-style courtyard, which is completely different from the modern high-rise buildings.

This should be the girl's hometown in Chiba. He spawned in Chiba this time. Does that mean he's going to live in Yukinoshita's house now? And have to face her family?

Qingye, who had been daydreaming, twitched his eyes and realized the complexity of the problem. After thinking about it carefully, Yukinoshita is an elementary school student after all, and it is impossible for him to live independently. The only place to provide him with a place to live can be provided by his parents - even if it is his own!

"Forget it, it will cause you trouble. I would be very grateful if you could lend me some money."

Qingye spoke up, knowing without a doubt how much pressure and doubts the girl would face for this action. Although he was almost in despair now, he still felt embarrassed to let Yukinoshita pay so much for him.

If all else fails, go to a social welfare institution! It's just a waste of a few years, which is barely acceptable.

"How much money do you think I have now? Besides, what good is money to a child?"

Yukinoshita glanced at him, her voice still slightly cold and ethereal like thin snow.

If both parties had no other choice, she would not want to choose this path, but she would not watch him wander around, let alone see him being sent to an orphanage - that would be such a pity.

She knew that she had no obligation to take care of Qingye. Given Qingye's current age, the police or the government should handle it, but she just wanted to take care of it.

After all, I have observed him for three years in another world and have some feelings for him. I can't treat him like a random person.

Moreover, after the last experience, she still had more confidence in Qingye's character, and knew that he would achieve certain success in the future - of course, it was not because she was greedy for rewards, she also had nothing to lack, but she just couldn't leave it alone.

"Don't worry, this is an action based on careful consideration. If you feel bad, I'll repay you later. For a drowning person, the most important thing is to grasp at the only straw, not to worry about your own miserable appearance."

Yukinoshita's eyes were serious, with her usual confidence.

When she first came to this world, she vaguely guessed Kiyono's situation from her own situation, and even went to Tokyo specifically to meet him. Finally, as if guided by fate, she found him.

But there is no need to tell the other party this.

"This... I will always remember the kindness of Yukinoshita-sama!"

Qingye stared at her with a solemn expression. He had no choice but to accept it shamelessly. Let's keep track of it! This time, his talent was really maxed out. As long as he was given some time to develop steadily, the current situation would not be a big deal.

By the way, I'm a little uncomfortable looking up at a girl...

Yukinoshita nodded with satisfaction. Sometimes, accepting other people's kindness frankly is also a kind of courage. According to her observation, although Qingye tends to hesitate before making a decision and always wants to find a way to have the best of both worlds, once he makes a decision, he will be extremely decisive and will not hesitate.

The rain gradually became lighter, and a corner of the bright moon quietly appeared.

Before stepping through this door, Qingye took a deep breath:

"Can I ask you a question, why are you helping me like this?"

Yukinoshita gave dignity to his past self and saved his present self.

Is this because of her inner life creed, or is it because she can't just leave people in trouble?

"Just think of it as my own ideals being rewarded."

Helping someone would make that person stronger and more passionate, and then more people would be influenced by him and take steps towards the right path... She had always longed for this kind of thing.

Yukinoshita pursed her lips and whispered words that were not appropriate for her age.

"That's it."

"Ah."

There was a brief pause in the conversation. The girl walked into the house without saying anything to comfort him or to protect his self-esteem, as she felt it was unnecessary.

Qingye suppressed his surging emotions, followed him in, and glanced around the environment curiously.

At first glance, the courtyard here looks like a garden, with cherry trees and lush plants planted on both sides. The layout of the courtyard is also very beautiful, with a pond, koi, moss, bamboo tubes, and an antique atmosphere...

Xue Zhixia walked ahead with an indifferent expression, seemingly calm, but in fact, her little head was constantly thinking of a solution...

*

In the classical and spacious Japanese house, the courtyard is open. The rain outside has stopped. By the pool, a bamboo tube soaked with rainwater is fixed on a bracket at a 45-degree tilt, drawing out the mountain spring. Every minute, the bamboo tube will tilt downward, making a crisp "dong" sound.

Inside the house, two cups of tea were placed on the low table. The rising hot steam made the room full of Zen. Coupled with the woman in kimono kneeling on the tatami, it felt as if one had returned to the Heian period.

The air was so quiet that it was suffocating.

This must be Yukinoshita's mother...

Kiyono sat next to the loli version of Yukinoshita and looked up at the woman in front of him.

She was wearing a plain and elegant lavender kimono. On the surface, there was nothing special about it, but every detail revealed a low-key gorgeousness. The kimono was embroidered with blue, red and white chrysanthemum patterns, with bright bamboos between the flowers. The waist rope and belt were also extremely delicate.

Her eyebrows and eyes are 70% similar to Yukinoshita's, but more mature. The woman's black hair is tied up, her face is soft, and she has an elegance and dignity, like a blooming peony.

Yukinoshita's mother glanced at the two children, her eyes flashing with surprise and distress, and she did not speak for a long time.

It can be seen that the fact that "her daughter who is in elementary school brought home a boy of the same age at night" made the usually graceful mother fall into an indescribable mood.

She had thought that Yukino would bring back a wet cat, a wet dog, and wet flowers on a rainy day, but she had never imagined that Yukino would bring home a wet person.

"Yukino, can you explain it to me?" The woman sighed, her voice full of helplessness.

Hearing her mother's question, Yukinoshita straightened her already straight back, clenched her hands tightly, and her face was serious and nervous. Although she had boasted to Qingye just now, she didn't seem to be so calm when the time came.

She took a deep breath, tried to keep her tone steady, and described what had happened - in short, Qingye had encountered a special situation, and if he didn't take it home, he would have to send it.

This was not a lie. Yukinoshita's mother looked at her daughter with interest. How could Yukino respond so calmly?

Just as she was about to say something, she closed her mouth and frowned slightly. The sound of cheerful footsteps interrupted the conversation of the three people.

"What? Yukino actually brought a boy back? Let me see how handsome this boy is to charm our Yukino!"

The voice was so clear and lovely that Kiyono and Yukinoshita couldn't help but look back. In the corridor, a beautiful woman with medium-short hair who looked 80% like Yukinoshita came trotting in, her face beaming with smiles.

Thin, smoky eyebrows, cherry lips with a natural smile, and brilliant and dazzling behavior make people unable to help but respond to her. This is the medium-sized Yukinoshita.

At this point in time, Yukinoshita Haruno actually has long hair... The two met eyes, and Kiyono was a little surprised.

"Ah, it's my cute little brother!" The true words came out of my mouth inadvertently.

"Yang No."

Yukinoshita's mother's words were extremely calm, even gentle, but the moment the two words fell, there was a plop, and Miss Haruno instantly knelt down beside Kiyono, and the three of them sat in a row with their heads lowered.

"Just call me Sister Yang No."

The captive lady whispered in Qingye's ear and gave him a gentle smile. She didn't seem to reject him, which made him feel relieved.

Yukinoshita's mother sighed silently for the second time, her gaze shifted to the right, her eyes fixed on Kiyono.

"My little classmate, have you had a fight with your parents?" the kimono beauty asked gently.

"...Well, I haven't seen my parents since I can remember." The boy answered frankly.

Yukinoshita's mother was stunned and looked at Qingye carefully. She was even more surprised to find that the boy had clear and bright eyes and delicate eyebrows, but his face was pale and thin, and his whole body exuded the coldness of spring snow.

For some reason, the more she looked at him, the more she felt an inexplicable fondness for him. It was as if she could see in his bright eyes a pure heart that had been hurt but remained untainted by dust...

But Yukinoshita's mother was a well-informed woman after all, and her judgment was not affected by the slightest ripple in her heart - at most, she had a little more favorable impression of him.

"Have you always lived alone? You've been working so hard, little kid. Why don't you stay with us tonight?"

She pondered for a while, sighed softly, and made a decision.

There is absolutely no problem in letting Kiyono stay here for two days. After all, he is just a child of the same age as Yukino, and there are many empty rooms in the house, so he will not cause any trouble.

Rather, she secretly hoped that someone of her age would come to her house to play with Yukino - she also knew how difficult it was for Yukino at school, and perhaps that was why she cherished her only friend so much?

But even if they live there, it is unlikely that they would step forward to adopt a boy. The Yukinoshita family has no shortage of children or heirs. What they lack is a son-in-law with good character.

In short, since Yukino rarely asked her for something, she would let Qingye stay for a few days, and then she would look for a suitable family to adopt him in a couple of days.

I have done my best to achieve this, and it can be considered as doing a favor. What if the other person can really become successful in the future?

"Thank you so much." Qingye bowed his head in gratitude.

Both of them could see that Yukinoshita's mother had no intention of letting him stay there for a long time. Qingye didn't mind. He was already very grateful that the other person, who was not related to him at all, was kind enough to take him in for a few days to help him get through the difficult times. He couldn't ask for too much.

But Yukinoshita frowned. She didn't think of asking her mother to adopt Qingye, but at least provide a place to live so that Qingye can grow up to be able to live independently. Besides, how could an adopted family be so easy to integrate into?

It seems that I can only think of another way...

Beside her, Yukinoshita's curious gaze kept scanning the two of them.

*

Yukinoshita's mother asked Yukino to take him to pick a guest room - the room was usually cleaned by the servants and he could just lie down and sleep.

After telling Qingye the general layout of the bathroom and courtyard with a heavy heart, Xiaoxueshita yawned slightly and rubbed her eyes sleepily. This is the inconvenience of the elementary school student's body. When it comes to a certain point, she can't control her sleepiness at all.

She said good night to Qingye and returned to her room, feeling very sleepy.
