070.Yukino (below)
"So I think, Sister Yono, you are the biggest obstacle in Yukino's heart, although this is not your intention......" After pursing his lips, Shota said his opinion to Yono very bluntly, but Yono's response was a burst of laughter like a silver bell.
"Sister Yangnai, did I say something wrong?"
While Shota was stunned by his smile, Yono stretched out his soft hand, pinched Shota's cheek and said, "No, Shota, you're right, I just didn't expect Shota to be able to see so accurately." β
"Sister Yangna......" Shota pulled Yangnai's hand down helplessly, and it didn't feel good at all to be teased as a child in public, "Then why are you laughing so much...... Strange, huh? β
"Because I'm laughing at you, you say that she doesn't have any feelings for Xiaoxue, but in fact, you see her so clearly, it can be said that she sees it clean from head to toe."
ββ¦β¦ After all, the relationship between our two families is good, and I also know a lot about the situation of the family under the snow, so it's not surprising that I can analyze it. Shota felt that it was better to ignore the words that were deliberately ambiguous by Yono.
"Is that really the case? But don't you always fail to see what is around you? β
"Why, why do you say that I am like a slow child, my observation is obviously not ......"
"Do you see me clearly, then?"
"Well, I don't think anyone can fully see Sister Yang Nai."
Under Shota's puzzled gaze, Yono said in an ambiguous tone, "Who said that it wasn't my intention to become an obstacle to Yukino? β
"Huh?"
The meaningful words made Shota can't help but speculate, could it be that Cheng Yang Nai deliberately suppressed Xue Nai in all aspects?
As if aware of Shota's guess, Yono said with a smile, "If there is no enemy, people will not grow, so I will deliberately become Xiaoxue's enemy." β
"In other words, Sister Yangnai, are you trying to let Yukino grow as soon as possible?"
"Isn't this the best explanation~"
From a purely logical point of view, what Yono said was not wrong, but Shota always felt that something was wrong. If you want Yukino to grow, is it really necessary for Yono to become Yukino's enemy?
"What, Shota Ko, don't you believe it?"
"I always feel that Sister Yang Nai, you deliberately made me think so."
"Well, that's all about that."
Looking at Yono's smile that didn't reveal any information, Shota couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It's tiring to constantly guess the other person's true intentions like this, and it would be nice to be able to hear the other person's intentions directly. However, such an unscientific thing simply cannot exist.
"However, there is one thing you still missed about Xiaoxue."
"What?"
"Since you don't like Xiaoxue, then why should I tell you?"
"Hmm......"
"And the matter between Xiaoxue and Hayama, you shouldn't know what happened between them yet, right? After all, Xiaoxue and I met Hayama several years earlier than Shota. β
Indeed, as Yono said, because Hayama's father is the legal counsel of the Yukishita family, Hayama has known the sisters Yono and Yukino since he was a child, and the relationship between the three is somewhat similar to the relationship between RyΕ«ya and the Sawamura siblings.
Although Shota knew what conflicts Hayama and Yukino had in elementary school, the relationship between the three who were once close became completely stiff. Yukino no longer pays attention to Hayama, and Yono will not give Hayama a good look. However, Hayama never told Shota about specific things. However, if you don't say it, you won't say it, and Shota won't think much about it, after all, everyone has a black history that they don't want to mention.
And now that Yono is mentioned like this, somehow, the picture of Yukino putting on glasses for Hayama resurfaced in Shota's mind, and a faint unhappiness emerged in Shota's heart. But Shota knew very well that this was just a temptation by Yono.
Restraining his emotions, Shota said as plainly as possible, "That's something about the two of them, and it happened in elementary school." Just like my sister and Len also had a conflict when they were in elementary school and became ignorant of each other, which is normal. β
"Huh~ Do you really not care at all?"
"Not at all."
Yono still doesn't give up, but Shota, who thinks he sees through Yono's intentions, always maintains a calm face.
However, the next moment, Yono detonated a depth charge.
"Even if Xiaoxue likes Mr. Pan because of Hayama, don't you care what happened between them? You should know what Mr. Pan is, right? β
ββ¦β¦β
How could Shota not know what Mr. Pan is, when he took Yukino to Hehe City to buy books for the first time, Shota saw Mr. Pan's advertisement on the train and complained about Mr. Pan, which was met with Yukino's fierce accusations. Moreover, the only thing in Xue Nai's room that can be called a girl's breath is the Mr. Pan doll.
And Xue Nai liked Mr. Pan because of Ye Shan, even after the relationship between the two broke down, Xue Nai still liked Mr. Pan so much.
Seeing that Shota, who was originally calm, suddenly changed his face, Yang Nai couldn't help but smile proudly: "Sure enough, you still care about Xiaoxue very much." β
ββ¦β¦ Sister Yang Nai, what the hell do you want to do. β
"I just want you to admit your heart."
"But don't you know everything, why do you have to admit it yourself."
"Because, it's going to be more fun, and the little Shota who was teased is really cute."
Shota hung his head helplessly, but he didn't expect that he still didn't calm down in the end. In fact, after Shota saw the triumphant smile on Yono's face, he realized that he was still too naΓ―ve. Yukino likes Mr. Pan because of Hayama, and Yono deliberately uses such ambiguous words to stimulate Shota.
However, don't Shota himself and Eiri also like otaku because of Lunya? After the conflict between Ying Li Li and Lun, even if the two ignore each other, doesn't Ying Li Li still like the otaku?
In fact, it's just Shota's own concern.
And just when Shota lowered his head, although Yono, who was completely sure of Shota's intentions, still kept smiling, there was no smile in his eyes, but it was impossible for Shota, who was hanging his head, to find out about it.
"Okay Shota, how long do you want to hold my hand?"
"Huh?"
Shota, who was thinking about something inconsequential in his mind, realized that he hadn't let go since he pulled Yono's hand off after hearing Yono's reminder.
"Ah, sorry, I haven't been paying attention."
"Actually, I don't really care, but I think you probably do."
"What do you mean?"
Faced with Shota's question, Yono pouted at Shota's left hand side and motioned for him to look over there. Because the walls of this restaurant are glass, you can see it clearly from the outside of the restaurant and from the inside.
Just outside the glass wall, several people that Shota had just seen were standing on the street, looking at Shota and Yono with ambiguous expressions. These people are all members of the club, and a few of them are still from the game department, so Shota quickly recognized them. One of them, the single-ponytailed girl An An, made a few grimaces after seeing Shota turn his head.
"He, how could they ...... outside"
"How do I know, but they've been standing outside since I pinched your cheek."
"Huh!"
Although the few people standing outside the store couldn't hear Shota's voice, they could see just from Shota's expression how embarrassed and panicked Shota was now, so everyone nodded at Shota very understandingly and walked away with a teasing smile.
There is no doubt that those people must have misunderstood the relationship between Shota and Yono.
"Sister Yangnai...... Why didn't you tell me sooner? β
Shota doesn't know how many times he has helplessly called Yono's name today, because he really has nothing to do with Yono.
"Tell you sooner? Why? I didn't do anything unseemly, and I wasn't prepared to do it. Is it possible that you don't ...... Xiangtai"
"I throw in the towel! Sister Yangnai! Leave me alone today! β
Sure enough, there is still no difference between meeting Sister Yang Nai today and before, she has been being teased by Sister Yang Nai......
"Since Shota said so...... I'm still a little dissatisfied, but that's it for today, Shota-chan, let's go horseback riding together next time. β
ββ¦β¦ As long as you stop teasing me, everything is negotiable. β
"What a flirtation, like I did something to you."
