If I don't stop her, she'll definitely ask some strange and obvious questions again.
Yui isn't actually that smart.
Some questions don't need to be asked.
"Hey... why is this happening? You haven't answered me yet."
Yui was taken aback when Su Qing gripped her hand tightly.
She recalled the time when she first met Su Qing.
When she was negotiating with Yumiko and didn't know what to do, Su Qing pulled her out of the classroom in the same way.
She can still remember the first ray of sunlight when she stepped out of the classroom.
bright.
warmth.
Memories are fleeting.
Yui smiled brightly and walked quickly forward to walk alongside Su Qing.
"Then you guess."
What are the benefits of guessing correctly?
"...?"
Su Qing turned to look at Yui beside her and said with a smile, "Once you guess right, everything will be fine."
"Really?" Yui seemed unexpectedly excited.
"Fine, don't believe me then," Su Qing said indifferently.
"Believe it, believe it, hehe, let's hurry back to find Xiaoxue, we can't keep her waiting too long."
Yui chuckled, then strode forward, quickening her pace.
Originally, Su Qing was leading Yui, but in an instant, it became Yui leading Su Qing.
Gazing at the cherry blossom pink hue that swayed with each step, Su Qing suddenly felt a little dazed.
he looks like……
This was the first time I'd ever been led forward by someone.
?
When Su Qing and Yui returned to the room, Yukino was already sitting at the low table.
Yui was about to say something.
A corner of the view.
To her surprise, the bed, which had been in a mess, had been neatly made, with hardly any wrinkles at first glance.
"Huh? Did Yukino tidy this up?" Yui sat down next to Yukino and exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah. It was too messy, so I tidied it up for you."
Yukino took a sip of the drink that Mrs. Yuihama had brought her not long ago and said calmly.
"Wow, that's amazing! But we actually need it tonight, so it's probably unnecessary to do this, right?"
Yui touched her chin with her finger and asked curiously.
"...I guess he just doesn't like the look of your bed, which resembles a pigsty?" Su Qing joked.
There's really no need to make up the bed if you'll be using it later.
While that's the logic, Yukino's approach definitely makes it more enjoyable to watch.
At least that's true for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Well... not entirely. It's mainly because I had nothing to do after you guys left."
Upon hearing Su Qing's words, Yukino quietly tilted her head to the other side, only glancing at him with her eyes.
"That's not entirely what it means!"
Yui pouted in dissatisfaction.
If it's a pigsty or something, then wouldn't she become a little pig?
It's still a little pink pig!
"Literal meaning. But don't worry, I was just describing your bed as a bit messy, not that I really thought of you as... a pig."
Yukino explained softly.
"Baka, don't bother explaining this again!"
Yui said angrily.
Seeing her like this, Yukino laughed even harder.
Obviously.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same.
After a while.
Yukino suddenly stopped smiling and apologized to the two of them, "I'm sorry. My older sister has caused you trouble."
"Hmm...it's nothing! It's not a big deal. We're friends, after all!"
Yui held Yukino's hand tightly, comforting her.
"Speaking of which, has your relationship with your sister always been like this since you were little?"
Su Qing shook her head and asked.
"What exactly... do you mean?" Yukino only dared to peek at Su Qing through the gap in her bangs.
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
Ever since Su Qing left the room with Yui and returned, she has found it difficult to look directly into those eyes.
"Your sister seems to enjoy teasing you. I can understand it to some extent, but the extent of her teasing seems to be different from that of most sisters."
Su Qing recalled the conversation between the Yukinoshita sisters, especially Haruno's attitude, and asked.
……

Chapter 251 Undercurrent
?
Yukino did not respond immediately.
She lowered her head slightly, her eyes half-closed, as if she were completely immersed in her memories.
The air around her gradually seemed to freeze as she fell silent.
After a short while, she finally slowly raised her head. Her usually bright eyes were now somewhat dim, mixed with a complex emotion that was hard to describe.
She took a deep breath and then said in a slightly low voice:
"Actually, my sister wasn't like this at first."
She's like everyone's favorite older sister; she plays with me and saves the best food for me.
It was probably after her mother designated her as the family heir that she became increasingly fond of teasing me...
Her smile was always exceptionally bright after each successful prank.
"That's it, thank you."
Su Qing nodded, indicating that she understood, and whispered her thanks.
Yukino shook her head indifferently.
Then, she slowly stood up, straightened her slightly wrinkled skirt, and said softly, "Um... it's getting late. I should go back."
"Xiaoxue, wait a minute!"
Yui pulled Yukino back forcefully. "Didn't we agree that you'd be staying at my place tonight?"
"...I don't remember such a thing."
Yukino blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion.
When did she agree to let Yui stay overnight at her house?
"Yes! Didn't we just agree that you'd come to my house tonight?"
Seeing that Yukino seemed to deny it, Yui angrily questioned her.
"...I thought you meant you were coming to my place for a while, so it turns out you're staying here temporarily?"
Yukino then realized why Mrs. Yuihama had said those strange things earlier.
So she agreed without really understanding what was going on.
"But... I can't live in your house forever, can I?"
After thinking for a moment, Yukino still wanted to decline.
Staying at Yui's house won't solve the problem.
Everything will proceed as usual the next day.
"But there's no better way right now, is there? It'll be the same if Xiaoxue goes back. Maybe if the two of us are together, we can come up with a solution."
Yui spoke anxiously for a long time, trying her best to persuade him to stay.
"And... I want to stay with you, Xiaoxue."
Yui said in a low but sincere voice at the end.
"Accompany...me?" Yukino was taken aback, unsure how to respond.
However, his body obediently sat down.
"It's nice to change your environment once in a while, isn't it?"
Su Qing also offered her advice.
"Well... alright then. I'll take my leave tonight."
Yukino agreed anyway.
There was probably no room for refusal from the very beginning.
"Then I can sleep in the same room with Xiaoxue tonight! This is the first time I've ever spent the night with a friend!"
Yui became inexplicably excited, like a child.
"First time? I thought you were used to this kind of thing."
Yukino glanced at Yui unexpectedly.
The other person must have quite a few friends, or is this kind of thing no longer popular among female college students?
"Hmm... there are many reasons. In short, Xiaoxue is definitely the first person to sleep in my room."
Yui said with certainty.
"Sleep...sleep and stuff. It's just staying overnight, don't make it sound so strange."
Yukino instinctively shuddered.
I always felt that she seemed dangerous.
Is it necessary to protect myself tonight?
"Isn't staying overnight and sleeping the same thing?"
The naive Yui blinked. She clearly wasn't thinking as much as Yukino was; she was still immersed in the fact that Yukino had agreed to her request.
"By the way... would you like to stay at my place tonight, Xiaoqing?"
Yui, without any apparent reason, also extended an invitation to Su Qing.
Hear the words.
