It's no exaggeration to say that the other person is a larger, enhanced version of Yukino (in every sense of the word). Due to her personality, Yukino is actually not good at interpersonal communication.

However, this is exactly the opposite for Haruno. If Yukino's social skills score is 1, then Haruno's social skills score is 10, or even higher.

Everyone who talks to her feels genuinely relaxed and happy. Although she sometimes seems to like joking, she handles these jokes very well, making them impossible to dislike.

Coupled with her looks that are in no way inferior to Yukino's, Lin Qianshu could imagine how popular she would be at university.

Furthermore, according to the information about Haruno in the task log, the other party has begun to make initial contact with the Yukinoshita family in some social interactions, and has achieved certain successes on this basis.

It can be basically confirmed that the other party is the next generation leader of the Yukinoshita family.

...If Lin Qianshu hadn't been able to sense emotions, he might have been deceived by her appearance.

Chapter 49: Just How Much Does Yukinoshita Love Cats?

The Tokyo Cat and Dog Show, simply put, is a live exhibition and sale of cats and dogs. It not only showcases some show-quality cats and dogs, but also exhibits some rare and unusual animals. Most importantly, this exhibition is free of charge, which is a boon for many animal lovers.

As soon as Lin Qianshu entered the booth, he saw a group of penguins walking around in the glass display case, and a large crowd of onlookers taking pictures of them with their mobile phones.

Huh? Why is Yukino Yukinoshita taking out her phone too?

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita intently taking photos, Haruno crossed her arms and approached Chiki Hayashi, saying, "See? Yukino really loves animals."

Lin Qianshu said, "What about Yang Nai-jie? Since you're willing to come to the cat and dog show with Yukino, you must really like animals, right?"

Haruno casually replied, "It's alright, I neither like nor dislike it. Compared to Yukino, I, Haruno, am actually a very boring person."

"So it seems that Haruno-nee likes Yukino."

Who wouldn't love such an adorable little sister?

"How dare you openly express your siscon (sister complex) views?"

"Haha... This is the only thing I've never hidden," Yang Nai said with a laugh.

Lin Qianshu said, "But thinking about it carefully, there's really no point in hiding it."

Yang replied, "Indeed, but there are quite a few cities like Chiba where I am."

“There’s no way to refute it. I know someone who’s a total siscon, you could say he’s blatantly so.” Lin Qianshu was referring to Hachiman.

"Do you know Yukino too?"

"know."

"If you have time, you could introduce me to someone so we can exchange experiences."

During the conversation, Yukino Yukinoshita returned with a satisfied look on her face, holding her phone, and at the same time, a map of the exhibition hall appeared in her hand.

Perhaps because seeing the penguin made her feel better, Yukino Yukinoshita was no longer as unfriendly to her older sister as she had been when she first got off the train. Although she still didn't smile, at least she responded when Haruno spoke to her.

"Are we going to the cat exhibition area next?" Yang asked.

"Yes, if there's anywhere you want to go, feel free to do so," Yukino hinted again, this time hoping her older sister would go somewhere else so she wouldn't say anything strange in front of Lin Qianshu.

Yukino thought her older sister would pretend not to understand as before and shamelessly follow along, but to her surprise, Haruno nodded and said, "Sister, there is actually an exhibition area I want to visit. I'll be going now. Contact me by phone when you're done."

Speaking of the phone, Yang Nai seemed to remember something. She smiled and opened the dial pad, handing her phone to Lin Qianshu and saying, "Let's add each other's contact information."

Lin Qianshu had no objection. Not to mention that she was his biggest client who had ever commissioned him, just considering that she was Yukino's older sister, Lin Qianshu couldn't possibly refuse her.

After getting the contact information, Haruno randomly picked a pavilion to visit, leaving Yukino Yukinoshita and Chiki Hayashi speechless.

"I'm sorry my sister has caused you trouble. Please don't take her words to heart."

Why are you suddenly being so polite?

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed, saying in a tone that was both joking and complaining, "Do I have to be rude to you before you're satisfied?"

"No need for that," Lin Qianshu said, suggesting that being polite was a good idea. "I saw you took a lot of pictures of penguins earlier, could I see them?"

"Here you go." Yukinoshita naturally wouldn't refuse such a simple request, and unlocked her phone without any suspicion, handing it to Lin Qianshu.

The photographer's skills are surprisingly good; it's clear they frequently photograph these small animals, as each photo has a unique design.

"Do you need me to help you take a picture with the penguins?" Lin Qianshu asked.

After hesitating for a moment, Yukinoshita couldn't resist the temptation of taking a photo with the penguin and nodded in agreement: "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Click."

The electronic shutter sound from the phone captured the moment between the girl and the penguin.

Yukino took the phone and looked at the photos. Well, the photos weren't great, but they weren't bad either. After all, the phone's performance was what it was, and as long as you knew a little photography, the pictures wouldn't be too bad.

However, compared to the photos Yukinoshita took before, the difference was immediately apparent. Normally, Yukinoshita wouldn't keep photos of this quality on her phone, but considering that it was taken with the help of Hayashi Chiki, deleting it directly would be a bit hurtful, so she mercifully kept it.

Of course, while the content is saved, the necessary critical commentary still needs to be included.

"Perhaps you can use this exhibition to practice your photography skills."

High emotional intelligence: Practice your photography skills more

Low emotional intelligence: The mess you made

"I'm just not used to photographing small animals," Lin Qianshu said, feeling the problem wasn't with him, but with the animals.

If it were just about photographing people, Lin Qianshu felt that his photos would definitely be better than those of most people.

It's not that Lin Qianshu's portrait photography skills are particularly good, but the three essential elements of portraiture are there for all to see. With Yukinoshita as the model, even a dog on a leash could be photographed beautifully.

"Next, we're going to the cat exhibit, right?" Lin Qianshu asked, noticing the red circle Yukinoshita had drawn on the map.

"Yes."

The cat exhibit was arguably Yukino Yukinoshita's main destination. Just thinking about being able to pet such adorable creatures up close filled her with happiness.

……

"That's a wall over there," Lin Qianshu kindly reminded him.

Yukinoshita's body stiffened, the tips of her ears turning slightly red. She said in a slightly flustered tone, "I know, I just... I just..."

The girl hesitated for a long time but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation. She never expected that her minister would have such a terrible sense of direction.

The exhibition area isn't very big, but considering its sprawling, block-like layout, you could easily get lost even with just a map.

Lin Qianshu had no choice but to extend his hand to Xue Zhi and say, "Give it to me."

"Oh……"

Realizing she couldn't find her way, Yukinoshita obediently handed over the map booklet. Lin Qianshu glanced at the map, then looked up to find the name of the nearest shop, checked its location, and headed there.

Yukino followed closely behind, but she didn't give up. Her eyes scanned the surroundings, like a detective, not letting go of any clues related to the cat.

In just a few minutes, Lin Qianshu brought Yukinoshita to the cat exhibit area. Before Lin Qianshu could even speak, Yukinoshita rushed to the nearest cat like a wild horse.

So just how much does this guy love cats?

Chapter 50 Figure it out

"This is just a Siamese...this is just a British Shorthair...oh, what an adorable Ragdoll, meow~"

Perhaps captivated by the cat, Yukinoshita seemed to have forgotten that Lin Qianshu was with her. After seeing a ragdoll cat that seemed to have taken root in her heart, the girl squatted down and tentatively reached out to touch it while making an incredibly cute 'meow~' sound.

Lin Qianshu, on the other hand, chose to follow Yukinoshita's advice and took out his phone to hone his photography skills, but not by taking pictures, but by recording videos, including the audio.

Fortunately, Lin Qianshu is not bad-looking, and she is obviously with Yukinoshita. Otherwise, her practice of only taking pictures of people and not pets at a cat and dog show would have made her look like a pervert and forced to eat pork chop rice.

Seeing Yukino so engrossed in petting the cat, Lin Qianshu couldn't help but feel a little itchy to join in. He held up his phone, which was recording a video, walked over to the girl, squatted down, and reached out to stroke the kitten's head.

Upon seeing a hand suddenly appear beside her, Yukinoshita cautiously withdrew her hand and simultaneously shifted her gaze from the cat to the person next to her. After discovering it was Hayashi Chiki, she first breathed a sigh of relief, then realized that the other person was holding a phone up to her.

Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned for a moment before belatedly realizing that her actions of petting the cat had been recorded by this guy.

The first reaction was to the tips of the ears, which then gradually spread to the entire ear, followed by the cheeks, neck, and even the whole body, which felt red.

The girl stood up abruptly, her movements so swift and dramatic that even the kitten closest to her was startled.

"Aren't you going to keep touching me?" Lin Qianshu asked 'kindly'.

Yukinoshita didn't say anything, and simply walked out of the exhibition area.

Lin Qianshu calmly paused the recording, uploaded the video to the cloud, and then quickly followed.

Yukino noticed that Hayashi Chiki was following her, so she quickened her pace and increased her stride, until she was almost jogging. Unfortunately, she was not known for her stamina, and she finally stopped after walking through three exhibition areas and exhausting herself.

"Should we go back and take another look?" Lin Qianshu asked cheekily.

Yukino clenched her fists, wanting to punch this guy, but considering that the video was still in his hands, she decided to hold back for now.

Having figured this out, Yukinoshita gave Hayashi Chiki an unprecedentedly beautiful smile and asked, "Can you delete it now?"

Lin Qianshu returned the smile with the same radiant smile and said, "Of course... no."

Deleting it is impossible; it's impossible for me to delete it in this lifetime.

If the meows that Yukinoshita made while teasing the cat in the first half were a rare gem, then the 'color-changing' performance by the other party in the second half could definitely be selected as a timeless classic.

I believe Yukino Yukinoshita would be willing to pay any price for this video.

Yukinoshita gritted her teeth, her voice softening as she gently said, "The heat released during the solidification process of cement is between 50 and 70 degrees Celsius, which means that a person would actually be cooked before being sunk into Tokyo Bay."

Don't say such terrifying things in such a gentle tone!

"Even so, I won't delete it." Lin Qianshu was as stubborn as blackheads left on her face after not washing it for months.

Seeing that the other party was so stubborn, Yukino could only sigh and began to think about how many kilograms of apples she would need to produce enough cyanide, and how to get the other party to eat it after it was made into desserts.

Just kidding, why go through all that trouble to kill someone?

Yukinoshita rubbed her temples, looking a bit annoyed, and said, "You should know that doing this infringes on my portrait rights, right?"

"You're the one who told me to practice my skills more." Lin Qianshu had obviously already prepared an excuse.

But I didn't tell you to practice your skills like that!

Yukino pursed her lips and finally decided that after she beat him in this regular exam, she would use that condition to order him to delete the video.

So, do we still need to go back to the cat exhibit?

"Let's go back."

Yukinoshita had already had her fill of petting the cat, and then being photographed in such an embarrassing moment by Lin Qianshu made her feel like the sky had fallen, and naturally she lost all interest in petting the cat.

"Do you have anywhere you want to go?" Yukinoshita asked.

Lin Qianshu had been following her since she called, but hadn't mentioned which exhibition area she wanted to visit. Yukinoshita thought that since they were out together, he couldn't just think about her.

Of course, Yukino would never admit that she actually wanted to take advantage of Lin Qianshu's fascination with petting small animals and get revenge on him on the spot with her phone.

Unfortunately, Lin Qianshu didn't want to visit any of the exhibits. He had already gotten the best stuff from the Tokyo Cat and Dog Show, and the rest of the cats and dogs were clearly no longer of interest to him.

Seeing that her plan had fallen through, Yukinoshita didn't press the matter further, but she couldn't help but make one last request: "Can I see the video?"

"Of course." Lin Qianshu generously handed over his phone.

Looking at her own reflection in cat-themed images on her phone screen, an evil thought inevitably popped into Yukinoshita's mind.

As the word 'delete' appeared on the screen, just before her finger was about to tap it, Lin Qianshu whispered in the girl's ear, "I've saved it in the cloud."

tsk...

Xue Zhixia expressionlessly handed the phone back to Lin Qianshu, and naturally, the video was not deleted.

As revenge, or rather, revenge born of impotent rage, Yukinoshita decides to cancel the bento she had promised to make for the other person.

After the person was informed of this notification, he expressed his understanding and acceptance, and regretfully stated that he would share the video with a lady named Yukino Yukinoshita, believing that she would be willing to treat him to a sumptuous dinner.

mean!

Yukinoshita never imagined that one day she would be manipulated to this extent because of a moment of carelessness. Right now, the enemy is strong and she is weak. As the saying goes, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

In the end, Yukino Yukinoshita paid the price of three bento boxes and signed a new humiliating "no dissemination of the video" agreement with Chiki Hayashi.

After reuniting with Yang Nai, she asked with a smile, "Oh, did you have a good time shopping?"

"Happy/Unhappy." Two voices rang out simultaneously, one after the other.

Yang Nai immediately understood what he meant, walked over to Lin Qianshu, nudged him in the waist with his elbow, and asked, "Do you have a video?"

Wow, you're an expert!

Feeling the intense gazes around him, Lin Qianshu answered with an upright expression, "No."
