Chapter 357 What Is a Fun Person?
Following Eri's line of sight, Hojo Kyosuke also looked towards Yukinoshita Yukino.
That girl was passively enduring her own mother's irresistible passion. Usually, it is glass that is in that position.
Eiri was surprised to find that the peeling sensation she had felt on Yukinoshita's body had miraculously disappeared.
"No, I felt a little strange under Yukinoshita before..."
Eiri said in a low voice. After Harano finished introducing herself, Yukinoshita's depressed and depressed look was still clearly visible in front of her eyes.
The girl who was as proud as anyone in Kasumigaoka actually lost all her color and became as dull as a draft. The lowered eyebrows and dull light blue eyes made Ying Lili feel a little worried.
"Ah, that's it."
Hojo Kyosuke nodded in understanding. Of course, Eiri was not the only one to notice Yukinoshita's unusual behavior. However, perhaps the only ones here who would feel sorry for that girl were Sakura, Eiriri, and...
The man's two palms were folded together to support his chin, and he looked at the two of them under the snow with big bright eyes with a smile.
“Peace of mind and peace of mind~~”
She smiled coquettishly, not concealing the fact that she was eavesdropping, and her frank attitude was not annoying at all.
"Xiao Yukino is just not used to such occasions. After all, I have been attending banquets on behalf of the next generation of the Yukinoshita family since she was a child. For her, eating with so many people is probably the only exception for lunch in elementary school. , right after I met you Kyosuke?”
Eiri looked at the big sister across from her blankly, feeling guilty about being caught secretly saying bad things, even though she was caring about Yukinoshita Yukino out of pure kindness. But this guy has such a character, even if he is doing good things, he still wants to cover up with bad things.
Hojo Kyosuke chuckled and shook his head, this is Eiri. Sakura feels sad because she and Yukinoshita are friends, and she cares about the people around her very much. Eiriri, on the other hand, is purely soft-hearted and empathetic. Just looking at Yukinoshita's lonely look, she can instantly think of her healed trauma.
Not pitying the other person to the point of crying is already considered a huge improvement. On this point, Hojo Kyosuke, who often uses clothes to wipe his tears and nose, has the best say.
Before Eirili could say anything, Yangno actually turned to look at Yukinoshita:
"Hey, now, Yukino-chan, is that right?"
This move frightened the little golden retriever to the point of being stiff. It didn't matter if someone heard the "bad words" he said, and now he has been told to the person involved.
Ah, what’s going on with Yukinoshita’s sister! ? Why would she do this! Wouldn't she be embarrassed to say this? If you don’t feel awkward, Yukinoshita and I will too! Especially Yukinoshita!
What kind of family representative never brings Yukinoshita to banquets? Can such words be said out loud in a place like this! ?
Eiri's face tightened and she turned to the right like a robot, trying her best to prevent Yukinoshita from being seen with the corner of her eye. She is most familiar with the trick of hiding one's ears and stealing the bell.
Kasumigaoka and Hojo Kyosuke sitting next to her laughed out loud at the same time, and Yukinoshita Yono across from her also found it interesting and a little envious at the same time.
Unlike Eiriri's surprise, Hojo Kyousuke was not surprised at all by Harano's actions.
Yukinoshita Yono lives up to her name. Like the sun, she shines into the dirtiest parts of people's hearts and at the same time exposes everything to the sun.
This is——[Yangno]
When she does such a bad thing, she hides everything about herself. After all, if you want to pry into other people's secrets, you must focus your eyes on them, and who can look directly at the sun?
Except, another sun.
Hojo Kyousuke stretched out his hand and squeezed Eiriri's little hand, trying to make her relax a little. Unless she put on the mask of a young lady, this girl would conform to most people's stereotypes of otaku.
Yukinoshita Yukino swallowed the chicken drumsticks mixed with green onions in her mouth. This was the first time she had eaten such a thing.
He took the wet towel handed over by Aunt Hojo and wiped his mouth with a smile on his face to express his gratitude, but the smile disappeared without a trace the moment he turned his head:
"It's true, as onee-sama said, I have almost no experience attending parties."
The girl's tone was not low, and she still used honorifics when addressing her sister.
Yangno smiled at Eiri, which meant "See, it's just like I said", and every move she made looked like a queen in charge of the party.
Eiriri didn't even have time to lament why she couldn't hear the title "onee-sama" from Kasoko, before she was forced by Harano's momentum and nodded.
But after doing this action, the little golden retriever became even more uncomfortable. It always felt like he was helping the bully, helping Yukinoshita Harano to bully her sister.
The corners of Kasumigaoka's lips curved into a contemptuous arc, as if she was feeling ironic that she had ever regarded Yukinoshita as her enemy.
But Yamauchi Sakura, who was really helping the villain and playing word games endlessly, now moved closer to Yukinoshita.
"That's right, next time, at the end of April, Xiao Yukino will also come to attend the award ceremony of the Mystery Writers Association Award!"
Sakura's words did not lower her voice at all, and several reporters at the other end of the private room excitedly remembered these words in their minds.
『A close female friend of Hojo Kyosuke asserted that the Mystery Writers Association Award is already in his hands! 』
Sure enough, it was the right time to come to this banquet. Why didn't Hojo come yet? If we could take a photo of him drinking, it would be awesome!
Although everyone's original purpose was to get closer to each other and get some explosive information, no one would refuse to dig out such explosive information. Moreover, youthful recklessness is the general definition of genius. A madman who drinks illegally but is polite, all readers will go crazy for him!
But before they could take a few more glances, Hojo's friends who were wearing black suits and looked difficult to mess with came up with basin-sized wine glasses.
"Hey? Sakura, don't make it too difficult for me. Do you really think Yukino can handle that kind of occasion alone? You know, even today, I forced her to come."
Yono's slightly purple eyes flashed with fluorescence. Although she was talking to Yamauchi Sakura, her playful eyes were looking at her sister.
Yukinoshita lowered her head slightly, and was afraid to look directly at her sister.
After discovering her subtle movements and instantly analyzing the cowardice in her heart, Yukinoshita suddenly raised her head, her lips stammered, as if she wanted to speak, but in the end she lowered her head again, half of her face was covered by the shadow.
Eh——
Hojo Kyosuke sighed in his heart. This only child has the troubles of an only child, and sisters have the troubles of sisters.
In his heart, in his unique senses, the noble and cold, independent white water lily, the delicate petals are falling powerlessly, and the elegant and beautiful taste is slowly becoming faint.
Through Yukinoshita's stammering lips, raising and lowering her head, he clearly saw the girl's heart entangled by thorns and tangled and depressed.
Minister, Minister, you who have always been helping others, why don't you help yourself first? Or as a client, make a request?
Just like his mother who seems to be completely invisible now because of Kei, Hojo Kyosuke has always adhered to the concept of never asking a word about things that have nothing to do with him. Well, this is the same as the uncles in the neon izakaya. Even if they scold their wives, bosses and gas price increases together, they will not say a word about politics.
Ah, that kind of thing is just a game for politicians, and it has nothing to do with us. Even if you watch TV and news all day long and write a lot of things on the Internet, you can't change anything at all. On the contrary, you will make yourself look ridiculous. It's better to protest in front of the gas company with everyone.
Well, that's about it. So, even Sakura, who was happily chatting with Yukinoshita Haruno before, didn't try to stop her from continuing, but directly invited Yukinoshita to attend the next award ceremony, hoping to use this method to help Yukinoshita out.
But unfortunately, it failed.
Hojo Kyosuke didn't know what the situation of Yukinoshita's family was like. Why did Yukinoshita, who was as proud and cold as an Arctic iceberg, adhere to the concept of absolute justice, as if even if she was the only one in the country, she would still formulate a set of perfect laws to regulate herself, and was strong and self-disciplined, be suppressed like this when she was with Haruno, as if Haruno had become oppression itself.
He didn't know, he didn't understand, so he had no qualifications and no position to support Yukinoshita Yukino.
"Haruno, when was the first time you went to a banquet with your uncle and aunt?" Hojo Kyosuke asked with a smile.
His voice attracted everyone's attention, including Yukinoshita, who lowered her head and remained silent. She looked up at her sister, and a hint of expectation surged in her heart.
"Well, let me think about it, it seems that I can't remember it clearly."
Haruno raised the slender and white index finger of her right hand and put it on her lips, saying with some distress.
Yukinoshita's mood fell again.
"Haha~ I'm kidding~ It was in the second grade of elementary school~ It was the annual meeting of my family's company."
Yonori laughed. This person was really either looking for fun or making fun, even if it meant turning herself into fun.
"Second grade?!"
Eri's eyes widened. Even she started to follow her parents to those social events after the fifth grade. And it was the kind of occasion that the whole family had to attend together, otherwise her father would go alone, and she and her mother would stay at home happily playing games and watching anime.
"Yes~ In the second grade, there was a large party with a full 300 people. It was so lively. Standing on the stage, looking at the dark heads below, I was so scared that I dared not move. After that, I couldn't speak for two days, and even seeing a doctor didn't help. Those two days were really boring, thanks to Yukino playing the silent game with me~"
Although she was talking about such things, Yukinoshita Haruno's tone was still so relaxed, as if she was talking about someone else who had nothing to do with her.
Even her eyes, which emitted a faint fluorescent light, did not show the slightest fluctuation.
"That time?!"
Yukinoshita suddenly raised her head and looked at her sister in disbelief.
"Huh? Yukino-chan, you still remember it? Yoshiyoshi, you are worthy of being my sister, your brain is really useful~"
Yono's eyes were smiling into crescents. If they were not far away, Eriri had no doubt that she would touch Yukinoshita's head like she touched Momotaro.
After being shocked, Yukinoshita lowered her head again. There were countless emotions rolling in her mind, and countless words stuck in her mouth, becoming a mess entangled with her tongue.
That time, that time...
When my sister came back with my parents, I was awakened from my sleep. I was angry because I was left alone at home, so I didn't talk to my sister and continued to sleep.
The next day, I still didn't talk to my sister. It wasn't until I didn't see my sister for a whole morning and learned from my father that my sister went to the hospital that I finally couldn't help asking her what happened.
"We are playing a game where whoever speaks loses. As a sister, I will make an exception and let Xiaoxue No join in the middle."
My sister handed me a note. This insistence on not speaking even when explaining the rules of the game made me feel a strong sense of ritual.
So, the two-day silent competition began.
I lost in less than half an hour, but my sister generously forgave me and announced with a note that I would participate again.
I lost countless times in the middle, and my sister forgave me countless times. What a good sister.
Until the third day, I finally won. I didn't say a word for the whole morning. Even though my sister teased me in various ways, telling me all kinds of jokes and horror stories, I didn't say a word, but stubbornly protested with a note.
So, that's how it is...
The truth of the game when I was a child was revealed after so many years. Yukinoshita Yukino didn't feel angry about being teased, but her proud head became heavier, so heavy that her slender and white neck like a swan couldn't support it.
She always knew that her sister had to endure everything, the pain and hardship, as the heir of the Yukinoshita family chosen by her mother...
The efforts of her sister, her excellence, and her unwillingness to help her bear all these were the reasons why she still shouted "Sister" with respect in the face of that bad taste.
It was also the reason why she was shrouded in shadows.
Hojo Kyosuke was also stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but recall what Haruno said, "It's not that I can't get drunk. If I can't hold it anymore, I will induce vomiting. The feeling is really like a cold air rushing straight to my head, and my skull is about to be lifted up."
Thank you for your hard work, Haruno.
He couldn't help but stare at Haruno's smiling face again and again, but there was no trace of haze on that pretty face, just like Sakura.
The difference is that his Sakura is really unhappy, while Haruno hides everything.
Your youth love story, as expected, has problems!
Hojo Kyosuke couldn't help but smack his lips.
Through what he said just now, he also figured out a little about the situation of the Yukinoshita family.
The two sisters in this family, as the heir, have been subjected to strict requirements like torture since childhood, and have to become strong. They are so strong now that they seem to have transformed into Kamen Riders, wrapping themselves in leather suits all the time, and using the skills they have practiced hard to attack the malice of the world.
Even when she suffered from temporary aphasia, she still had to coax her sister to accompany her. This bad character has really been revealed since she was a child.
After her sister reluctantly and passively helped her shoulder the responsibility of the Yukinoshita family, her sister was given a laissez-faire education. However, I don’t know whether it was out of admiration for her sister or the persecution of life, but she envied her sister who could accept her father’s territory and family business. She dreamed of entering politics and changing mankind to create an absolutely fair world.
Ahem, when he thought of this dream, Hojo Kyosuke suddenly understood why Haruno didn’t hesitate to tell such a tragic childhood story and hit Yukinoshita.
Such a meticulous Yukinoshita Yukino who is full of naive fantasies about life should also be an eyesore in Haruno’s eyes.
Because she has seen all the darkness and chosen her own path.
Faintly, Hojo Kyosuke felt that there were more explanations for Yukinoshita Haruno’s behavior. But it’s still the same sentence, don’t understand, don’t speak.
"Then how long did it take to get used to it? You can't always ask Yukinoshita to play the silent game with you after attending a banquet, right?"
Well, Hojo Kyosuke chose to ask directly, or to test.
"Oh oh oh! Finally here!"
Yonori's voice suddenly became high-pitched:
"Ahem, Hojo Kyosuke, are you calling me, the big Yukinoshita, or the little Yukinoshita over there?"
"Hahahahaha~~"
Kasumigaoka Utaha laughed again.
It's hopeless, this person is hopeless, Hojo Kyosuke thought while turning his back and laughing.
The difference is that this time Yukinoshita also chuckled, and the sound was as pleasant as always, just like the ice cubes in the wine glass without wine colliding with each other. It seems that in just a dozen minutes, those serious cells in the body have been killed, and a lot of humorous cells that can understand my sister have been produced.
Although I still owe the leader extra chapters, I can still be considered a good person... probably...
I will definitely pay back the extra chapters I owe!
