“Well…if they are a couple, it would be a little imperfect if they just dress accordingly.”

“Yes, yes, you are right.”

“That…….”

Looking quietly at the boy in front of him.

Facing Yang No’s waiting, Hasegawa Hide blinked his eyes, and finally held her hand as the girl’s eyes suddenly widened, and then put them both into his coat pockets:

“Let’s go, it’s time to get down to business.

According to what Secretary Fujiwara said before, there are many stores to choose from on this street alone.

If we are unlucky, we may not be able to complete the task today alone.”

“oh oh…….”

Everything is like flowing water.

But compared to the initial calmness, when her hand was grabbed by the other party and put into his pocket, Yang Nai seemed to have become a completely different person, following the other party with his head lowered, like a…

In short, she could clearly feel that she was not herself at all.

And what exactly is the reason for this change?

[Is it because that guy acted without hesitation? ]

[Or…]

I looked up and quietly looked at the side profile of the boy who was negotiating with the pet shop owner with a faint smile on his face. The soft lighting in the store made the originally resolute face more gentle and warm.

From meeting and knowing each other, secretly competing with each other, to slowly developing into this vague yet profound relationship, the two of them have undoubtedly gradually gotten used to each other’s existence in life. Although they haven’t made it clear at the moment, and they are not as passionate as those couples in love at school, Yang Noi herself feels very comfortable.

The two people who worked as a team kept traveling through the streets and alleys for a common goal.

But compared to Hasegawa Hide who was trying hard to communicate with the shop owners, the girl beside him who let him hold her hand had already had a lot of imagination in her mind, and a sweet, lively and somewhat tranquil smile appeared on her face.

For the proud Yang Noi, compared to her proactive attitude on campus, she now seems to have become more gentle like a “good wife and mother”. Such an obvious change should be felt by both herself and the guy next to her.

Unfortunately, Yang No, as the person involved, was rarely in a state of being confused by the situation. The other guy who was able to capture details from the perspective of the audience focused most of his attention on fighting wits and courage with the pet shop owners, and accidentally ignored the changes in the attitude of the girl next to him towards him.

Especially after encountering the marketing tactics of several pet shop owners in succession, Hasegawa, who still hadn’t found the cat he liked, had gradually lost his longing for future pet life that he had before setting out, and instead felt a little irritated.

“Really… Although I don’t know much about this area, and the limited knowledge I have is all the result of last-minute preparation, those guys are clearly treating me like a fool!”

Muttering with resentment.

If he were to make an analogy, Hasegawa felt that his current condition was no different from those nagging middle-aged women who were in menopause.

The midday sun shone on his body. Even though it was early autumn, he couldn’t help feeling a little hot after a whole morning of “market research”.

However, this frustrated look of being unable to vent bad emotions became a very interesting scene in Yang Noi’s eyes.

“Don’t worry.

Now that the decision has been made, it would be a pity to give up easily because of some minor setbacks.”

“Alas~ I didn’t say I was going to give up, it’s just…

Never mind, thank you for your comfort, Yang Nai.

However, we probably still won’t be able to enjoy something relaxing and enjoyable this afternoon, and we’ll have to go through some trivialities between the shops we didn’t visit~”

He smiled and spread his hands towards the girl in front of him.

Just like Yang No’s inner feelings before, for Hasegawa Hide, the girl in front of him is also the spiritual pillar that gives him faith and warmth at the critical moment…

Chapter 33: Sisters’ Night Talk

In the final analysis, being entangled is just a momentary emotion. When a problem arises, few people will continue to be entangled.

Not to mention Hasegawa, who was full of energy and looking forward to this matter itself.

After going around in circles, he finally relegated the task of finding a suitable cat to the category of “personal solution”. After a night of simple thinking, he found his ideal cat in just one hour the next day.

——A pure white female cat.

As for the day when I went out with Yukinoshita, I completely let myself go and it became a memory of the two of us “opening up new land” in the nearby neighborhood together.

In cities where people have lived for a long time, due to the busy pace of life, people often cannot calm down and carefully observe the things around them, which leads to a subconscious neglect.

If I have to describe it with a metaphor, this feeling is a bit like a person holding a mobile phone looking for where his mobile phone is. This is what Hasegawa used to relax himself occasionally in the past. After all, he likes to be quiet and quietly look for details and think about problems in the corner.

Now that I have a girl like Yang Nai around me, the “pioneering” activity, which was already full of fun, seems to have added some different meanings.

As for Yang Noi, the ease and joy of the two of them playing from the afternoon until the evening before returning home even made her temporarily forget about her mother at home who was strict with her and her sister.

“…It’s interesting to say that even though this is a very familiar street, when I was with Hasegawa, I saw a lot of things that I usually overlooked.

I’m afraid it’s only that guy.

While I can achieve my goals every time, I can also find the leisure time to find fun in the ordinary.”

Recalling what they had done in the afternoon, especially the exquisite little shop they found in a sparsely populated alley, the girl couldn’t help but smile.

But compared to Miss Yang No who was immersed in memories of the autumn colors, Yukino, as her younger sister, was unable to empathize with her sister at all.

Seeing her sister’s abnormal and “weak” attitude, the little girl was stunned for a moment, and finally ruthlessly attacked her:

“But according to what my sister said, it seems that Mr. Hasegawa’s fundamental purpose has not been achieved, right?”

“Hmm… well, that’s true, but it’s also true that we had a lot of fun. And… compared to your worries, Yukino-chan, I know a lot more about Hasegawa.”

“what?!”

Faced with her sister’s confusing answer, Yukino felt the urge to complain, but also felt an inexplicable malice.

[What do you mean by “knowing a lot”?… Is this statement something you want to show off to your sister? ]

“childish……”

He whispered to his sister.

Indeed, compared to the “strong” image of the other party in her mind, at this moment, Yang Noi seemed to be a little more relaxed inexplicably. This can be clearly seen from the fact that the other party did not catch her “saying bad things”. If it were in the past, a small “resistance” like the one just now would definitely lead to a series of control like a chain combo!

[Really… it’s possible that my sister has undergone such a big change. ]

[Hasegawa? That big brother is really a magical existence. 】

Limited by her own knowledge, Yukino hastily gave her own preliminary evaluation of the strange senior whom she had never met but who kept coming up from her sister’s mouth.

Staring blankly at her sister’s back, just as she was about to leave her room, the little girl’s eyes wandered and she blurted out, “Sister, are you dating that older brother?”

“uh-huh?”

The voice behind her made Yang Noi stop. Looking back at her thoughtful sister, she remembered someone taking her hand during the day, and couldn’t help but smile:

“Guess what?”

“I think there’s a problem… But objectively speaking, you don’t seem like the type to fall in love with people your age.”

“Why do you have such thoughts, Yukino-chan? If you say that to me, I’ll be sad!”

“You’d be sad about something like this? I don’t remember any guy complaining that the boys in school were all ‘boring guys with lustful minds’?”

The two of them were biological sisters. At this moment, Yukino’s lazy and slightly tired complaints imitated her sister’s past demeanor vividly, causing Yangno, as the person involved, to want to suppress her sister’s arrogance for daring to provoke her, and she pounced on her with a smile:

“How dare you tease me like this, Yukino~”

“You, you are simply a hooligan, stop scratching, it’s itchy!”

The room was filled with the two sisters’ intertwined laughter, like silver bells. The laughter went over the window sill and blurred the moonlight in the sky.

In the courtyard, hearing the daughters’ youthful laughter, the hostess, Mother Xue, first frowned and sighed that her daughters disregarded etiquette, but then her expression gradually softened, as if she remembered the kindness she should have for her daughters as a mother…

Chapter 34: Baiyin? No, it’s Baiyin!

Raising kittens is an “art” that is abstract and difficult to understand. Compared with the achievements of breeding, the suffering experienced in the process is undoubtedly more impressive.

“Tell me, did you knock over this cup again?!”

In the early morning, looking at the mess on the ground, the boy felt his blood pressure rise instantly, and his tone became excited.

However, facing his eyes that were slightly red as if they had awakened some kind of pupil magic, the little white cat who was the culprit in front of him was licking his paws lazily with his eyes narrowed into slits. How could he show any fear?

It is unlikely for a cat to empathize with humans, but after spending some time together, the kitten named “Bai Yin” has apparently figured out Hasegawa’s kindness, and his behavior patterns have become free and unrestrained.

For example, the flowing water and broken glass spread out on the ground like a work of art by a master artist made Hasegawa, who got up in the morning to prepare for school, instantly feel a kind of beauty that comes from life, which is fragmented and helpless.

“You…just wait!”

He left these words in a low voice. Then, the boy took a deep look at this rebellious family member who had just joined the family, closed the door and walked out.

At the moment he closed the door, his cell phone appeared in his hand at the right time. With a series of dials, he got through to the owner of a pet shop:

“Moshimoshi, is this Mr. Suzuki? It’s like this, I want to order a cage…”

……

“And then…it was just like that?”

Looking at the white cat lying in the cage at his senior’s house with a well-behaved face, Ishigami Yu, who came to play with him on the weekend, was filled with astonishment. He secretly glanced at someone next to him with closed chest and a smug look on his face, and seemed to find it difficult to accept it in his heart.

“Hasegawa-senpai, isn’t it a bit inhumane for you to do this?”

Reminding carefully. Facing Hasegawa Hide at this moment, Ishigami inexplicably felt as if his idol had collapsed. The reason was actually nothing serious, it was nothing more than that from the way the other party straightened the cat, he seemed to see the shadow of his father who was equally irritable to him.

“Do you think I want this?”

“Uh, of course not. Everyone knows that you are a kind-hearted person.”

“…Your words always make me feel weird.”

Facing the younger generation’s seemingly sincere expression of feelings, yet filled with an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, Hasegawa raised his eyebrows, then shook his head, no longer dwelling on these details: “Forget it, forget it, you don’t know, before raising a pet, people often only yearn for the beauty of companionship, ignoring the effort required in the process.”

“Hmm…I seem to understand a little bit.”

Although Ishigami’s academic performance was a bit poor, he was actually very smart and thoughtful. Looking at the melancholy on Hasegawa’s face, and then looking at the white cat locked in the cage, and recalling the joy and longing he had felt when he mentioned the pet before, he could easily guess the reason.

“By the way, Hasegawa-senpai, I almost forgot to ask you, have you named this cat?”

“Of course, call it ‘Bai Yin’, how about that?”

After saying this, Hasegawa even glanced proudly at a certain cat in the cage who was “facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes”, as if he was quite confident in his talent for naming. Unfortunately, facing the “eye contact” of the unscrupulous owner, the little white cat just blinked his eyes, his face was full of confusion, and his mind was only thinking about when he could get out of the cage.

“Senior Baiyin?!”

“It’s not that guy Baiyin, it’s Baiyin, Baiyin!”

He explained the difference between the two: “Besides, regardless of gender, Baiyin and Baiyin are different species.”

“But this is so easy to be misunderstood…Pfft!”

As if he had thought of something, the next second, Ishigami laughed out loud. Because when he connected the two together, the “ferocious” image of the president with dark circles under his eyes due to staying up too late instantly emerged in his mind. Combined with the miserable image of the little white cat being locked in a cage, it became even more inexplicably funny.

“Hasegawa-senpai, have you told the president the name of this cat?”

“Not yet. That guy seems to be busy writing his own love story recently, or working hard to supplement the family income. We haven’t been together for a long time.”

“Haha, when I return to school, I must share this matter with the president and others.”

Perhaps because they are good brothers, when he said this, Ishigami smiled and his face was full of a look of wanting to create chaos in the world. He was determined to tease Baiyin.

Just as Hasegawa mentioned before, in Ishigami’s opinion, the sour smell between the president and the vice-president has become much stronger since the end of summer vacation. The entire student council members and many classmates of Shuchiin Academy have already noticed it. But the two of them still think they have concealed it well and are playing guessing games in the office, which is really disgusting.

Well, it can’t be said to be disgusting, but facing that weird atmosphere, Ishigami, who is still single at least, feels like there is a fire burning in his heart.

[By the way, Hasegawa-senpai seems to be very popular with girls as well…]

[The president is like this too, am I the only one who is not popular with girls?! ]

Thinking of this, the smile on Ishigami’s face gradually froze, and his whole body was enveloped by a deep breath. At this moment, he felt an inexplicable malice that seemed to come from the world.

Chapter 35: The matchmaking of the young Nohara

“Who can allow reality to beat them and be willing to be rubbed by fate?”

Ambitious words rang out in the classroom. Facing the boy Nohara, who raised his fist and had a face full of fighting spirit and faith, Hasegawa, who was also in the classroom, was slowly sweeping the floor with a calm face:

“Why, did you see your dream girl from which class again?”

The boy in front of me is a good person with a good heart. The only thing that his classmates criticize him for is probably his undisguised pursuit of beautiful girls.
