Chapter 40: Waiting
Barely coping with her parents, who were shocked by her brother's disappearance, Yui Yui Yuiri slammed herself on the futon and covered her head with a pillow.
But soon, she got up again, put on her bath towel, and walked to the hot spring again.
It's better to soak in the hot springs for a while to relieve your mood.
"Now, I said that you are really stupid, old lady!" the brother's words echoed in her ears again.
"yes, I'm really an idiot!" she nodded heavily, only this time, when she heard Kazuya complain about herself, she didn't refute, but nodded heavily.
Because, only a fool would make such a choice at this time, right?
Xiaohe had already left, and was personally persuaded by her to leave when he was hesitant. Obviously this was a better opportunity to deepen the relationship, but as a result, she gave up on her own, and even, she pushed Xiaohe to the other party as an opponent.
She didn't know what they would say when Kazuya met Yukina under another night sky, and what kind of relationship they would develop, and she didn't dare to imagine the result.
It's like a long-distance race, she doesn't start fast, but desperately, tries to catch up, and finally catches up with her opponent, and then overtakes her, and finally finds that the opponent can't move because of the injury, so she chooses to give up and move on, not only that, but she is also ready to return to the opponent's injured run, ready to wait for her injury to heal, and then start the race again.
She didn't want to lose, she just didn't want to win.
This is a further clear idea in her heart after meeting Yukina Kogi in the New Year. She could tell that Yukina was still hesitating, so, at least this concert, she knew that Yukina would not make any positive actions yet.
So, I took this opportunity to grasp Xiaohe by my side thoroughly, isn't that okay?
Of course not. While waiting for the trip, looking at the scene of her younger brother in a daze from time to time, she knew that this was not possible - Yukina was running away, and Kazuya was also evading, and she was the only one who was actively fighting for it, which seemed too cunning.
At the start, she was behind Yukina Kogi, so she has been working hard, just trying to make up for the gap in the start, and after making up for this gap, what she wants to do is actually fair competition, not to take advantage of unexpected circumstances to continue to expand the advantage.
However, she can't say these words to Yukina, she can't say to Yukina out loud: I want to compete fairly with you. Yui knew that this sentence seemed to others to be an encouragement, rather a kind of irony, a kind of irony that the leader was full of. So, she wouldn't say that.
Therefore, if Yukina Kogi can't take the initiative to meet Yubihama Kazuya, she can only take the initiative to push Kazuya in front of the other party - at least, she wants to break the ice that the two of them couldn't melt before, and only when the relationship between the two of them also progresses at the same time, she can move on, she thinks so.
But, even so, there is obviously a better, more secure opportunity, isn't it? I can do the same in this hot spring trip, and then at a more secure time, let the two of them have a more secure, within their control of the icebreaker.
According to the current model, Kazuya, who rushed back in the dust, and Yukina, who was surprised to meet him, the excitement brought by this encounter was far from what she could estimate!
"That's why I'm an idiot!" she muttered softly again, sinking her head into the hot spring water.
Isn't it natural to choose this uncontrollable situation? Yukina Kogi, who bites her lip and has a pale face when she knows about her hot spring trip when she visits the shrine in the New Year, and Kazuya Yubihama, who is still entangled in watching the concert ticket in her hand even before leaving, picks up and puts it down, she doesn't want these two people to become so entangled in any way.
So, even though it wasn't true, she did it anyway.
Because, Yui Yui Hihama is such a kind, kind person who makes herself feel disgusted.
If only there was a friend to talk to at this time—she thought suddenly.
However, when she was about to walk back to the locker room to get her phone, she gave up halfway through.
Because, Yui Yui, who is very communicative, suddenly finds that he has no friends who can discuss this matter.
Generally speaking,If you're in love,,It's the most suitable to find Yukiko - if you like any other person,,Maybe it's okay to find Yukiko.,But,It's Kowa who likes it.,It's your younger brother.,I always feel that if it's Yukiko.,You'll feel that this kind of thing can't be reasoned.,In the end, it will develop into a lecture to yourself.。
If the time could have been a few months earlier, Xiaoxue would have been very suitable - but, in this situation, on that Christmas night, she had let Kazuya leave alone with Xiaoxue seemingly casually, and rarely saw Yukino's not-so-calm state under the snow, how could she call the girl to ask about this?
Of course, there are other friends who will meet them, but no matter who they are, they are not the kind of people who can talk about "my sister likes my brother, but she wants to drive him away so that he can meet another girl".
So in the end, I had to continue to soak in the hot springs silently by myself - until I couldn't bear it.
She actually really wanted to experience what it was like to be dizzy, because if she did, she would probably be able to sleep directly, so that she wouldn't have to worry about it at least tonight.
As long as you go to sleep, when you wake up tomorrow, you will be able to know the outcome of Xiaohe's side - no matter what happens in the end, maybe the ending has been decided!
Of course, Yui didn't faint directly in the hot spring in the end, and when her body was a little uncomfortable and seemed a little shaky, she still left the hot spring with the care of others.
However, the result did not seem to be too bad, and when she returned to her room, she quickly fell asleep groggily.
It wasn't until she woke up in the morning that she saw a missed call and a few unread messages on her phone.
If it's just a missed call, it probably means that the result is quite satisfactory - for Xiaohe, if the result is not satisfied, then he may be more anxious to talk to himself. She thought calmly.
Picking up her phone, she was about to open the unread message, but, after hesitating for a while, looking at her parents, who were still sleeping next to her, she put on her clothes and came to the porch of the hotel, if she lost her temper, she didn't want her parents to see it.
After all, liking your brother is not something that makes parents happy.
Really, it's as if she's already sure she's lost—she rubbed her eyes, thinking helplessly.
However, the moment she made her choice, she should be ready, shouldn't she?
Finally, she leaned against the wall, her hands trembling, and opened the mail bar.
Then, his legs naturally went limp, and he slowly slid down the wall with a weak breath, and sat somewhat ungracefully.
"What is this called?" she looked at the phone screen, not knowing what to look at.
Probably, there is no more ironic ending than this, right?
