In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

"Guess how long Ye Shan can last this time?"

"But Ye Shan is really amazing. He only started practicing kendo when he entered junior high school, but now he is the strongest person besides the Buchou."

Hiratsuka Ryosuke and Hayama Hayato stood facing each other.

After nearly two years of getting along, he now admires Ye Shan a little.

Even after failing again and again, you can keep standing up.

He is the most popular person in the kendo club and in the class.

Because Ye Shan always responds to other people's expectations again and again.

"Are you ready?" Ryosuke asked as usual.

"Hmm? Ah! I'm ready." Hayato Hayama answered absentmindedly.

Snapped!

After just a brief encounter, Ye Shan's bamboo sword was knocked away.

Ryosuke was a little confused because the other party's condition was obviously not right.

He ignored the exclamations of his teammates and walked off the field to take off his mask.

Ye Shan also came to his side, but he looked a little tired.

"What's wrong with you? You seem a little off today."

Ryosuke's tone was calm, but there was some concern in his words.

Like Hikigaya Hachiman, he has already accepted Hayato Hayama as his friend in his heart.

Ye Shan took off his face guard, hesitated for a moment, and finally told the other party his inner concerns.

"Hiratsuka, actually, it's my father. He has been busy traveling recently because of the affairs of the Yukinoshita family. He couldn't sleep or eat well. He suddenly fell ill yesterday."

Hearing this, Ryosuke asked, "Isn't my uncle a legal advisor? Is the Yukinoshita family in big trouble recently?"

Hayato Hayama explained, "It happened at the construction site. It rained a couple of days ago, causing the building wall to collapse. Although no one died, several workers were injured and hospitalized. The workers' families sued the Yukinoshita family, and now they have been forced to stop work."

Ryosuke nodded and continued, "The Yukinoshita family is really unlucky. How is the uncle's health?"

Ye Shan forced a smile and replied, "Thank you for your concern. The doctor said that father will be fine after resting for a while. But I don't know when the construction site in Chiyoda District can resume work. After all, it is involved in a dispute."

Ryosuke didn't react at first until he heard Chiyoda-ku.

He knew that the Yukinoshita family had a project to build a joint school in Chiyoda Ward. After all, the land was theirs.

Because Sister Jing would also be transferred to that school, he planned to go to that school when he entered high school.

This way, he would be able to see his sister even during the day on weekdays.

You can get closer to her.

Spend more time with her.

He had been looking forward to this for a long time, and even occasionally took time out to visit the construction site to check on the progress of the construction.

But when he went to see it some time ago, the construction of that school was almost completed.

Ryosuke probed, "Yayama, the construction site you said was stopped, isn't it the one where the school is being built in Chiyoda District?"

"Hiratsuka, you also know about this?" Ye Shan raised his eyebrows, then suddenly realized, "Oh~ That piece of land seems to still belong to the Hiratsuka family, but the dispute should have nothing to do with your family."

Hayato Hayama's words shattered the last fantasy in Ryosuke's heart.

This is a serious matter. God knows how long the work will be suspended.

Ryosuke said to Hayama, "Sorry, Hayama, I'm going home today. I'll leave the club to you."

……

"Sister Jing!"

As soon as Ryosuke entered the house, he started calling for Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Hey, you're back so early today?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was sitting on the sofa, about to open a can of beer, staring at him blankly.

Ryosuke walked over to sit next to her and asked seriously, "Sister Jing, do you know about the suspension of work at the United High School construction site?"

"Ah, I know. What's wrong?" Hiratsuka Shizuka said calmly, then slowly opened the beer can and took a sip.

It’s not like the Hiratsuka family’s construction site has stopped working, so why is Ryosuke so anxious here?

Then she narrowed her eyes and began to look at her brother.

Could it be that Ryosuke and Yukinoshita Haruno...

Ryosuke asked worriedly, "Sister Jing, if the construction is not resumed, the school construction will be delayed. Then when can you come to Tokyo?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the other person and said casually, "Are you worried about that? Don't worry, it will come later."

Ryosuke felt dissatisfied when he heard the other party's answer.

late?

There is a poem that says, "I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light."

If you can't transfer here when I'm in high school because of problems with the Yukinoshita family, how can I accept that?

Since I knew you would come to Tokyo to work, I was really happy and I have been looking forward to it for a long time...

Ryosuke continued to ask, "Sister, can you transfer to another school in Tokyo when I'm in high school?"

There is no need to stick to one school if you can be transferred to other places.

He has already decided that he will go to the high school where his sister works.

But he didn't want to go back to Chiba, because there were people in Tokyo that he couldn't leave.

"Well, actually, this is a little difficult. Because the old man himself wants the two of us to return to Chiba. Being able to transfer to Tokyo to work is already a benefit of the school merger project. It doesn't matter, there is still a lot of time in the future."

"But I want to see you sooner."

As Ryosuke finished speaking, the air suddenly fell silent.

Click~

There was a crisp sound in the room.

The beer can in Shizuka Hiratsuka's hand was suddenly deformed by her.

After a while.

She suddenly smiled, but the smile on her face was a little complicated.

She stared at the other person and said softly, "Liang-chan, is this your new way of acting like a spoiled child to your sister?"

Ryosuke just stared into her eyes quietly.

Hiratsuka Shizuka persisted for a while, then looked away and put the beer can on the coffee table.

He began to explain patiently: "Actually, that project is Mrs. Yukinoshita..."

after a while.

After listening to Hiratsuka Shizuka's explanation, Ryosuke suddenly had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

The first person that comes to my mind is a certain lunatic named Uchiha in the comics.

Originally, his younger brother made friends and his personality gradually became less paranoid.

As a result, he felt that he cared for his younger brother and provoked him from time to time, and finally turned his younger brother into a lunatic.

Mrs. Yukinoshita also felt that she was doing this for the good of her two daughters.

Make yourself the enemy and then let your daughter surpass you.

In the name of caring, I create pain to promote my daughter's growth.

The purpose is to train a perfect successor.

Ryosuke now feels a little sorry for Yukinoshita Haruno.

No wonder she always has a fake smile on her face every time I see her, and her mind isn't quite right.

Then he thought of Yukinoshita Yukino, whom he had met during the Obon Festival.

This second young lady seems to have a somewhat twisted personality.

Finally, Ryosuke came to a conclusion.

The people of the Yukinoshita family...are they all having some serious illness in their brains?

Chapter 179: Like and Hate

An office in Chiyoda Ward.

"Miss, I will take my leave now."

"Mr. Ye Shan, thank you for your hard work during this period."

"It's just my duty. You should have a good rest."

thump~

As the door closed, Yukinoshita Haruno was the only one left in the office.

She slumped in the chair behind her desk with her eyes closed, the sadness between her brows lingering for a long time.

House seemingly endless rain.

The original problem was simply that work was halted due to a shortage of raw materials for construction.

In order to solve this problem, she temporarily asked someone to contact a new material supplier, which ended up causing even greater trouble.

New building materials were substandard.

A rainstorm a few nights ago washed away the newly built wall, injuring several workers.

The project continued to be suspended, resulting in greater economic losses, and now it is even involved in a lawsuit.

Yukinoshita Haruno hasn't had a good night's sleep for many days.

dong dong dong~

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Yukinoshita Haruno raised her eyelids and looked towards the door, then sat back in her chair.

The people who pushed the door open were not the employees she expected, but a stern-looking teenager and a young man with blond slicked-back hair.

When Yang No saw the person coming in, her eyes widened for a moment, then she showed her usual fake smile.

"Hey~ How come Ryosuke-chan has time to come visit Sister Haruno today?"

As soon as Hiratsuka Ryosuke entered the door, he saw Yukinoshita Haruno behind the desk.

A layer of gloom hung between the girl's picturesque eyebrows and eyes.

Her originally rosy face turned somewhat pale at this moment, and the fatigue in her eyes would still be revealed inadvertently even though she tried her best to conceal it.

Ryosuke thought to himself that it seemed that she was in really big trouble this time, and she didn't have the confident and relaxed look she usually had.

He walked forward a few steps, sat on the sofa, and said calmly: "Yukinoshita Haruno, it's amazing that you can still laugh now."

Upon hearing this, Yang Noi put away the smile on her face and just looked at Ryosuke silently behind the table.

Yes, he is my kind.

He was the one who could see through my disguise at the beginning.

Finally, she said helplessly: "So, what do you want to do here?"

Usually, she would take the initiative to look for Ryosuke out of interest, but the other party never looked for her.

This time he came on his own initiative and brought Yoshifumi Nitta with him. It was obvious that something was going on.

Ryosuke got straight to the point and asked, "How long will this shutdown last?"

Yono stood up, walked over to sit down opposite Ryosuke, poured him a cup of tea, and replied in the same calm tone.

"Why are you asking this? Do you want to interfere in my family's affairs before you marry Yukino-chan?"
