I have a lot of green plums

When she grows up and comes back from abroad, she will definitely fulfill today's bet...if he can still remember her by then.

"Even if you win, I won't forget it." Si Yue Yuzhi said with a smile.

This sentence might be the most beautiful oath she had heard in such a long time... Yukinoshita Yukino looked up at the girl in front of her. In this short time, she wanted to take a closer look at the other person's face and imprint him in the deepest part of her memory.

"Then please keep me in your mind."

This sentence seemed too wanton. Would the boy laugh at her for being so straightforward? But she couldn't care less. If she didn't cherish the present time, she would never have the chance to express her feelings in the future.

"In exchange, I will keep you in my heart."

"Yes, I will." April Yuzhi smiled and nodded to Yukinoshita Yukino, "I will always keep you in my heart and will never forget you."

How could he forget the girl in front of him? Whether it was the somewhat narcissistic little girl that summer, or the fragile and sensitive girl tonight, they were both firmly engraved in his heart and he could not forget them.

"Woo..."

I obviously got the answer I wanted, but why do I want to cry so much?

Yukinoshita Yukino blinked stubbornly. When she left, she just wanted to leave the most beautiful self in the boy's heart and didn't want him to see her in such a miserable state.

Lifting the corners of her mouth, Yukinoshita Yukino tried to maintain her smile and stubbornness. But what she didn't know was how beautiful she was, with tears in her eyes but stubborn and unwilling to show weakness, under the dim light of the silver moon and the galaxy.

April Yuzhi reached into his pocket and when he didn't feel anything, he remembered that he had already given his handkerchief to Igarashi Suzune.

There was no other way, so he could only take a step closer to the girl and try to wipe her tears. The boy's approach also made Yukinoshita Yukino close her eyes after a moment of stunned.

"......" Si Yueyuzhi was also stunned for a moment when he saw this, but he quickly realized what the girl meant.

Indeed, closing your eyes when wiping tears is a normal physiological reaction.

But having said that, the ambiguous atmosphere continued to ferment between the two of them, and even Si Yueyuzhi's heartbeat quickened a lot.

April Yuzhi thought about it, and changed the direction of his hand that was originally intended to wipe the girl's tears. He slightly bent his index finger and gently placed it on Yukinoshita Yukino's pink lips.

"What are you doing?" Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly opened her eyes, "Aren't you going to wipe my tears?"

"Eh?" Si Yue Yu Zhi was stunned and said stupidly: "Didn't you ask me to uh... that...?"

"What this and that, where are you thinking about?"

"..."

It turned out that he had misunderstood. Didn't the girl originally mean that?

Not good, this is too embarrassing.

I really want to die like this.

"Tell me, what are you thinking about?" April Yuzhi's silence did not make Yukinoshita Yukino let him go. Instead, she kept asking relentlessly.

"No, no." Si Yue Yuzhi quickly withdrew her hand, "I just wanted to wipe your tears."

"Can you wipe your tears onto your lips?"

"I accidentally dropped it."

"You're lying." Yukinoshita Yukino exposed April Yuzhi's lie without hesitation. Seeing the boy looking a little uncomfortable, she smiled and said, "Please tell me the truth. Did you have any dirty thoughts about me just now?"

"No."

Siyue Yuzhi originally wanted to shake his head to deny, but under the gaze of the girl, his tone became a little hesitant.

He admitted that he was vulgar, and when he saw the girl closed her eyes to him defenselessly, he did have that thought for a moment.

"Sure enough, there is." Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino showed a look of astonishment, and then said: "But it's not your fault. After all, I'm so cute, it's natural for you to have such thoughts."

"It would be strange if you didn't have that thought, unless you like boys."

"..."

"You didn't deny it? Do you really like boys? Then I really feel sorry for those girls around you."

"It's a bit slanderous for you to say that."

"So you like girls?"

"Isn't that natural?"

As soon as Si Yueyuzhi finished speaking, the girl's beautiful face magnified in his eyes. He looked at the girl with a smile in front of him and spoke slowly.

"So... do you like me?"

The gentle tone and warm breath made April Yuyi feel as if she was under a spell for a moment.

It would be better to say that the girl’s tone and behavior are themselves a curse, making people feel distracted.

"No one would dislike you, right?" Si Yueyuzhi tried her best to appear calm and did not want to reveal any flaws.

"You know that's not what I meant."

Yukinoshita Yukino smiled. The boy had already lost with this answer.

"This is your punishment." She took a step back, letting the distance between them return to normal.

"Punishment for almost making me cry."

She finally felt better now. She wanted to let the guy in front of her know that she was not so easy to mess with.

"What if I say I like it?"

"Eh?" Yukinoshita Yukino was a little slow to react. She looked down at her hand, which was already gently held by the boy.

"What would you do if I told you I liked you?"

"..."

Chapter 206 No More Contact

"Stop joking around."

In the end, Yukinoshita Yukino chose to avoid this question. In the relationship between the two of them, whoever escapes first will lose.

Obviously, April Yuzhi won this time.

But he didn't feel very happy. He took a step back and looked at the girl in front of him, feeling only sadness of parting.

"That's it, I'll leave first."

He ran here anxiously but just played a few jokes on the girl. He didn't know whether he played any role here.

Maybe it was useful, because the girl herself chose another path, and he couldn't impose his ideas on her.

It was useful, but he failed to keep the girl.

He had no other choice. Besides, he had been running for so long today and was already physically and mentally exhausted.

"......Um."

The two met on a whim, and their separation was just as sudden. Yukinoshita Yukino nodded gently, and even though she was reluctant in her heart, she couldn't say anything to keep him.

"Then be careful on the road."

Even if you have thousands of words in your heart, they can only be transformed into a simple word of concern, and all kinds of emotions can only drift away in the night wind in the end.

"Goodbye."

"Bye-Bye."

They waved goodbye to each other, and Yukinoshita Yukino watched the boy's back gradually going away, and finally disappearing under the dim light.

The scene in front of her gradually became blurred, and the stars in the sky became distorted. She blinked, but still couldn't stop the tears from falling.

Woo...

The girl's soft sobs were heard in the silent night, so gentle and brief, yet containing a sadness that seemed to infect the whole world.

So sad...

Yukinoshita Yukino stood at the door for a long time, but finally wiped her tears, turned around and walked into the door of Yukinoshita's house.

Like a tamed bird, it flew back to the cage that imprisoned it.

But who made her enjoy the generous resources of the Yukinoshita family since she was a child? So no matter how unwilling she was, she could only bear everything from the Yukinoshita family.

"Yukino..."

Yukinoshita Haruno, who had been waiting in the courtyard, was stunned for a moment when she saw her sister coming back, and then walked to the girl with concern.

That young man failed to take Yukino away. She thought he would be able to do it, but now it seems that her expectations were too high.

"I am fine."

Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head, and her red eyes made Yukinoshita Haruno feel extremely distressed.

-

I don’t know what time I went to bed last night, but when I woke up in the morning I still felt extremely tired.

But even so, Yukinoshita Yukino still got up, dressed and washed.

It's really outrageous...Looking at her fragile appearance in the mirror, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but laugh at herself.

She raised the corners of her mouth, but the self in the mirror did not smile.

She seemed to not know how to smile.

Coming out of the bathroom, he walked through the long corridor of the Yukinoshita family mansion towards the living room.

After all, it was the last time she would have breakfast with her family before leaving, so even if she had countless negative emotions in her heart, she had to face it in a normal state.

Standing at the door, Yukinoshita Yukino let out a light breath, then reached out to open the door.

"I will not give up until Lady Yukinoshita withdraws her order."

The outstretched hand stopped in mid-air when she heard the voice coming from inside the house. Yukinoshita Yukino stood there in a daze, unable to believe what she had just heard.

Is this an illusion caused by the longing I mentioned?

"Just because of such a simple reason, you are allowed to make such a decision. In your eyes, is Yukinoshita your daughter or a tool to grab the honor of the Yukinoshita family?"

This time the boy's voice was so clear that Yukinoshita Yukino was finally sure that she was not hallucinating.

He really exists behind this door.

Why... is he here? Didn't he leave? And when did he come here?

"This guy was waiting at our door early in the morning."

Yukinoshita Haruno came to his side at some point and whispered.

"Since he was let in, he has been arguing with his mother, and there is still no conclusion."

"..." Yukinoshita Yukino remained silent, not knowing what mood to use to face the current situation.

And Yukinoshita Haruno snickered and said, "This is the first time I've seen my mother have such a headache. That guy is really good at it."

"I originally thought he was a fool, but now I can finally rest assured."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't understand what her sister meant.

"Xue No, he's a very good guy. I can leave you to him without any worries."

"..."

"Okay, okay, let's continue listening to the opera. Don't go in yet."

"You are just a poor boy from the countryside. What qualifications do you have to question my decision?"

Mrs. Yukinoshita's chest rose and fell slightly. It had been a long time since she had been said to be at a disadvantage like this, so she subconsciously wanted to balance the confrontation by using her status.

After Yang Noi told her some information about the young man that day, she went to investigate it herself.
