"Really? Is it that hard for you to say you like me?"
Ye Xing paused for a few seconds before nodding.
"Well, I like you, Yuigahama Yui."
Yuigahama Yui stole a glance and chuckled with her hands covering her lips.
"Eh? Are you blushing?"
Yexing rolled his eyes.
"It's because the weather is too hot and you're in love, so you're hallucinating. Keep going."
Yuigahama Yui nudged Yexing with her shoulder again and teased.
"What a proud fellow."
"Would you please stop bumping into me like a bouncy ball?"
"Hehe~"
After untying the knot in her heart, Yuigahama Yui breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her usual sunny self. She held Yexing's hand and skipped along the street.
"Hey, there's a shop selling takoyaki~"
Yuigahama Yui saw a roadside stall with hot takoyaki on the iron plate. She immediately went up to it and smiled at the owner.
"Boss, please give me two servings."
"okay."
While waiting for the boss to pack up the takoyaki, Yuigahama Yui raised her foot and kicked a small stone on the side of the road. She suddenly remembered the real purpose of her trip and looked at Yexing curiously.
"By the way, you haven't told me the method to quickly improve your strength yet."
Ye Xing glanced at her and said meaningfully.
"You really want to know?"
"Of course, as a member of the Super Quantity Society, I also want to become stronger!"
"Then we'll talk about it in detail when we get back to the hotel."
"Ok."
Yuigahama Yui nodded obediently and said no more.
........
“Your takoyaki.”
"thank you boss."
Yuigahama Yui took the two boxes of hot takoyaki handed to her by the boss. When she smelled the aroma emanating from them, she couldn't help but want to eat as much as she could.
only...
Yuigahama Yui hesitated for a moment, then let go of Ye Xing's hand, put the box of takoyaki on the stall, and holding a small skewer in each hand, she split one of the takoyaki in the middle, stuck it in, blew on it a few times, and finally took the initiative to feed it to Ye Xing's mouth.
"Ah, open your mouth~"
Ye Xing glanced down, then bit off half of the takoyaki on the signature.
Before he could say anything, Yuigahama Yui saw the owner behind the stall, looking at the two of them with a smiling expression. Her face turned red first, and she stuffed a box of takoyaki to Yexing, whispering shyly.
"Okay, let's finish shopping and go back."
.......
At the same time, in the room of the hotel.
"what do I do..."
Yukinoshita Yukino sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the familiar number on her phone that she hadn't called in a long time, or hadn't called in a long time. Her delicate face, which had always been free of emotion, now showed an unprecedented look of confusion.
After struggling with her conscience for more than ten seconds, she finally made a decision and pressed the dial button.
"Beep...beep..."
After two brief rings, Yang Nai's smiling, slightly lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello~ My lovely sister, it's rare for you to call me on your own initiative~ What's the matter?"
Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Why didn't you come to Tokyo?"
"Eh? Tokyo, why should I go to Tokyo?"
"Don't play dumb. You should know that everyone in our club, including Ye Xing, is traveling to Tokyo, right?"
"I really couldn't hide it from you. I did hear it."
"Then why don't you come?"
Yukinoshita Haruno seemed a little surprised by her sister's question, and said with a smile.
"Why should I come?"
Yukinoshita Yukino replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Because the night star is in Tokyo."
"If I go wherever he goes, wouldn't that make me a stalker?"
Yukinoshita Yukino's emotions remain stable.
"Isn't this what love is all about?"
Yang No on the other end of the phone couldn't help but sigh at her sister's remarks.
"Xukino, your view on romantic relationships is really still stuck in kindergarten."
"Humph."
Yukinoshita Yukino snorted lightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally tried her best to stay calm and asked the question she had always wanted to ask.
"You...know Nightstar's true identity, right?"
Yang No on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, then replied with a smile.
"Real identity? I don't know what you are talking about."
"You are still..."
Before Yukino could finish, Yangno interrupted with a chuckle.
"What do you think is a true identity? Since you use the word real, which side do you think is fake?"
Faced with this question, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly, not knowing how to answer.
Yang No seemed to have expected this situation and spoke with a smile.
“The so-called truth and falsehood are actually just definitions given by others.”
"To me, Nightstar is Nightstar. No matter what aspect of him he is, it's still him, just from a different angle."
"The essence of who he is as a person and how I feel about him won't change because of anything."
"Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Hearing her sister's words, Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned.
Not because of anything else.
But Yukino never thought that the relationship she was pursuing, which was not false at all, would one day be spoken by her sister Yangno.
What an irony.
I clearly think that my sister, mother, and the Yukinoshita family are all too hypocritical, so I decided to go to Sobu High School in Kyoto and use my three years of high school to pursue real relationships without any falsehood.
But.......
Yang Noi actually touched the "real thing" earlier than himself?
"I..."
Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, stared at her bare white feet on the floor, and murmured.
"I never thought that you would say something like this one day."
"Are you envious?"
Yang Nai covered her lips and chuckled, teasing in a teasing tone.
"Then you must get along well with your brother-in-law in the future. I'm hanging up now. Bye."
Listening to the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone, Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for a long time, with countless thoughts flashing through her mind.
It turns out that my sister already knew... about Ye Xing's true identity.
Why do we need to guide ourselves step by step to join Chaoliang Society?
Do you feel that you can find what you have been looking for in this community?
Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly felt an impulse in her heart.
She's had enough.
I don't want to keep pretending anymore.
This kind of situation where I clearly know and Ye Xing also knows that I know, but both sides have to pretend not to know...
So hypocritical.
And now, Yukino wants to break this hypocrisy.
She suddenly stood up from the bed, without even putting on slippers, her snow-white bare feet stepped on the carpet, she pulled out the room card inserted in the door, ran out with a movement that could be described as rushing out of the door, took the elevator to the floor where Ye Xing's room was.
Yukino decided.
Being secretive is not yourself.
Now that I have decided to stay in this club, I will use my usual outspokenness to break this delicate secret balance.
Only in this way can we get the real answer.
Just as Xueno ran barefoot to the door of Yexing's room, raised her hand breathlessly and was about to knock on the door in front of her, she suddenly heard a very familiar voice coming from behind her.
"Yukino... classmate?"
At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino froze.
She turned around silently, looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka in front of her, and nodded slightly.
"Hiratsuka-sensei."
It exploded. This time it really exploded.
Yukinoshita Yukino and Hirazuka Shizuka were both at a loss.
The former is thinking.
Why would my class teacher appear in this hotel and live on the same floor as Ye Xing?
Hiratsuka Shizuka was also thinking.
Her eyes swept over Yukino's white and tender feet, which were not wearing shoes and were directly stepping on the carpet, her slightly messy clothes, and her flushed face, which was obviously after intense exercise, and her lips that were still panting and slightly open.
Shizuka Hiratsuka thought of an extremely terrifying possibility, and her pupils dilated.
Wait a moment.
Seeing Yukino like this, and seeing her standing at the door of Yexing's room...
In Hiratsuka Shizuka's mind, a picture has automatically been formed: Ye Xing attempted to attack Yukinoshita Yukino, and Yukino put up a fierce resistance, or perhaps failed to resist, and then had a fierce battle, and finally fled the other party's room in embarrassment.
Oh my God!
High school students today, students in my class, actually do such things! ?
"What are you two doing standing at the door of my room?"
Hearing the voice behind her, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned around and looked at Yexing who was standing there with Yuigahama Yui, and said through clenched teeth.
"You are a beast! This is a crime!"
"WTF?"
