In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

The girl with shoulder-length hair and a sunny smile walked to the opposite side of her mother and sat upright.

Yukinoshita Haruno shifted her gaze to the pile of documents on the table. She picked up two sheets and glanced at them. They were all personal information.

"what are these?"

"It's basically your waiting list for fiancé."

Mrs. Yukinoshita put down her teacup and spoke calmly.

"Hey, that's it."

Yukinoshita Haruno raised her eyebrows and spoke in a neutral tone, as if she was talking about someone else's affairs.

As the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, she had long been aware of this.

It is for this reason that she decided to handle everything on her own and not let her sister repeat the same life as her.

"Huh? Why is there an elementary school student here?" A unique piece of information caught her attention.

"Hiratsuka Ryosuke, Hiratsuka..." Yukinoshita Haruno murmured, looking at her mother with uncertainty.

Mrs. Yukinoshita nodded slightly.

"Hey~ So he's Xiaojing's brother. He's grown up so big now. I used to hold him in my arms when I was a kid."

Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly realized and sighed.

The Hiratsuka family is the leader of the Chiba Prefecture Yakuza organization and ostensibly operates a real estate development company.

There is a certain competitive relationship with the Yukinoshita family's construction company, but they are occasionally business partners.

"Your father is going to run for county councillor this term, and this cannot go wrong, so in addition to the support of local forces, I will also go to Tokyo to make some arrangements."

Mrs. Yukinoshita spoke casually, as if the position of county councillor was already in her pocket.

In the past few years, the Hiratsuka Group made some big moves, and went from being one of the major yakuza organizations to the only leader in Chiba Prefecture.

The other party's business is also booming, which puts a lot of pressure on Mrs. Yukinoshita.

This time she made a lot of concessions and gained the support of most of the powerful people in the county, and her position as county councilor is basically secured.

But Chiba is too close to Tokyo, and there are also some people there who can influence the election for Chiba prefectural councilors.

Just in case, she wants to go to Tokyo to take out insurance.

The Hiratsuka Group has become the leader of the underworld in Chiba Prefecture. If the Yukinoshita family fails to gain a foothold in the white world.

This means that the family's decline is inevitable, and it will be squeezed out and swallowed up by the Hiratsuka Group sooner or later.

"Yang No, what do you think of this child?" Mrs. Yukinoshita asked lightly, observing her eldest daughter's expression.

"Well, I think he's not bad. He's handsome, and they're a good match. Age isn't a problem. Everything will be fine after he grows up in a few years." Yukinoshita Haruno said nonchalantly.

Pretend not to understand what your mother meant.

Yono knew very well that as the son of the Hiratsuka Group, it was impossible for Hiratsuka Ryosuke to marry into the Yukinoshita family.

So the mother's meaning is very clear. Hiratsuka Ryosuke's information appears here, not as a candidate for her fiancé.

Instead, he is a candidate for the fiancé of her weird younger sister, Yukinoshita Yukino.

The mother wants to marry Yukino to the family so that they can form an alliance with the Hiratsuka family through marriage.

It doesn't matter whether Ryosuke Hiratsuka is someone she can entrust her life to, or what he looks like or what his personality is like. Just the fact that he is the young master of the Hiratsuka family is enough for his mother to place a bet on him.

After all, Yukinoshita's future heir is still Haruno. From the family's perspective, the value of the second daughter is much lower than that of the eldest daughter who is the heir.

Sure enough, her mother's next words confirmed her guess.

"It seems that you also think this kid is great. He is the same age as Yukino, so I think it's a good match."

Mrs. Yukinoshita spoke to herself, then picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at her mother who was confident of victory, with her hands clenched into fists under the table, feeling unwilling.

Over the years, she has been trained as the heir to the Yukinoshita family, and even she herself has accepted this fate calmly.

The naive younger sister was young and ignorant, and always wanted to follow in her footsteps and live like her to prove her own worth.

She has been secretly protecting Yukino and even often teased her on weekdays, hoping that her sister would give up becoming her.

I didn't go to school today, but went to discuss matters related to studying abroad.

Yangno hopes that her sister can live freely without the shackles and responsibilities brought by the surname Yukinoshita.

If my mother insists on doing this, then won’t all the efforts she has made over the years be wasted?

"I'll find time to meet Ryosuke-chan. After all... he's a candidate for my brother-in-law."

Yukinoshita Haruno pretended to be interested.

There was a barely perceptible trace of regret in his eyes.

Although he appeared to be trying not to show any emotion in trying to please his mother, he became more and more determined to send his sister abroad.

Being born into a large family is both a blessing and a misfortune.

Fortunately, I have never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood, and I can receive a high-quality education and enjoy better social resources.

Unfortunately, he has lost his freedom and right to choose, and can only live like a tool in accordance with the family's wishes in order to gain greater benefits.

In Yono's opinion, if possible, she would rather be born in an ordinary family and be an ordinary girl rather than the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family.

She understood this feeling of powerlessness, so no matter what, she would never let her sister repeat the same mistakes and become a victim of the family.

Perhaps only when I become the real boss of the Yukinoshita family, my sister will be truly relieved.

As for now, her biggest wish is to let her sister grow up freely and healthily like an ordinary girl of the same age.

The corners of Yukinoshita Haruno's mouth curved slightly.

Is that Xiaojing's younger brother, Hiratsuka Ryosuke?

It’s not that easy to be my brother-in-law.

Chapter 28 Graduation Chorus

It’s graduation season again, the peach month.

Over the past year, apart from the construction of a new teaching building, there have not been many major changes in the school.

The school auditorium was filled with students' parents.

Even the usually busy Yaeko Nishimiya came to the scene.

During this year, she witnessed all the changes in her two daughters.

Glass is much more confident and cheerful than before. Now that she has friends, she has more smiles on her face that come from the heart.

Yuzuru also went to school like a normal girl and didn't fight with anyone.

The thing that she had been trying to accomplish for so many years but had not succeeded was now accomplished by the boy who had been so "shameless" in the office.

Although Yaeko Nishimiya's expression remained serious.

But in my heart, I only have genuine recognition for Hiratsuka Ryosuke.

It was that child who allowed his two daughters to live like normal girls.

She deliberately turned down all her part-time jobs today just to catch up with Glass's graduation chorus.

"Now, please welcome Group 6 of Grade 2 to perform the chorus song - "The Day of Departure"."

the host shouted on the stage.

The students walked onto the stage one after another.

Nishimiya Glass did not move.

She recalled her previous school, where she also sang in class chorus.

Every time she opened her mouth, someone would look at her strangely.

Sometimes, before she even started singing, her classmates would remind her that she had already started singing, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she would be laughed at by her classmates.

The stage was obviously very close, but at this moment it seemed so far away to her.

Suddenly, she felt her hand being held by another warm big hand.

When she looked up, Ryosuke looked at her tenderly.

"Come on, Glass, you can do it."

Nishimiya Naoko nodded heavily, mustered up her courage, moved her feet, walked step by step to the stage, and stood with her classmates.

She stared at the boy holding the baton, her eyes softened and firm.

Yes, things are different now than they were before.

Ryosuke, as long as you are by my side, I can do anything.

As Hiratsuka Ryosuke waved his baton, the students sang in unison.

Hearing the children singing on the stage, tears flowed from Yaeko Nishimiya's eyes, and this time she did not avoid them.

She quietly watched her daughter singing hard on the stage, the daughter who used to be always timid and with a flattering smile.

The sound of Glass is very gritty and hoarse, yet has a kind of ethereal quality.

Even among so many voices, she could distinguish them at once.

The current Nishimiya Glass is no longer the ugly duckling with low self-esteem, but an angel who has been reborn.

The song is over.

The students stepped down.

Nishimiya Glass in the backstage looked at the boy on the podium, and an unprecedented light flashed in her eyes.

I did it, I really did it!

Can you hear my voice?

When Ryosuke also walked to the backstage, Nishimiya Naoko pounced on him.

There were tears in her eyes, but she tried hard to hold them back.

The sound was intermittent, but not as unclear as before.

"Thank you, Ryosuke. I really...thank you very much."

Ryosuke reached out and touched Nozomi's head.

"It's okay, Glass. I've said it before. Crying doesn't mean you're weak. If you want to cry, just cry as loud as you can."

Nishimiya Naoko buried her head in Ryosuke's chest, clutching Ryosuke's clothes tightly, and her tears wet his collar.

She threw herself into Ryosuke's arms and burst into tears. All the grievances she had suffered over the years disappeared at this moment.

Believing in yourself is the first step to living your true self.

Music is poetry expressed in sound. Nishimiya Glass will flip through her own poems in the elementary school auditorium during graduation season.

……

The graduation chorus continues.

At this moment, Nishimiya Shoko had stopped crying and sat in the audience with Ryosuke.

The host stood on the stage and said in a sonorous voice: "Now, let's invite Group 6 of Year 1 to perform the classic folk song "Tears Sparkling in the Eyes"!"

This is a song that expresses subtle longing. It is normal for students facing separation to choose this kind of song.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka suddenly frowned and saw the back figure on the podium that looked familiar.

I immediately thought that Group 6, Grade 1 was Morixia's class.

The person on the podium was Nibutani Morika.

In addition to the veil she was wearing, she also had several gifts given to her by her friends at the birthday party.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke's pupils shrank slightly and he said secretly in his heart.

Senxia, ​​you won't cause any trouble at a time like this, right?

Ryosuke guessed correctly, but not completely.
