“Since that’s the case, why don’t you and I pass the time together, Mr. Su Rui?”
Yukino Yukinoshita, whom Su Rui had carried to the bedroom, reached out and wrapped her arms around Su Rui’s neck, looking directly into his eyes: “Do I have no attraction to you at all?”
“I was just thinking, maybe you’d be more comfortable after dinner?”
Su Rui smiled, then lay down on the bed, holding the girl in his arms.
“After dinner, I don’t want to move,” the girl in his arms complained softly, then held onto Su Rui’s neck, not letting him leave: “Are you really going to leave me alone here at a time like this?”
“Weren’t you so scared just now that you couldn’t even stand steadily?”
Su Rui asked back, amused, but he didn’t get up again. Instead, he leaned closer to Yukino Yukinoshita and asked in a teasing tone: “What, do you have the strength to keep me here now?”
“...That’s two different things. My legs are weak, but that doesn’t mean my hands are powerless.”
The girl in his arms was still being stubborn, but with the conversation already at this point, Su Rui didn’t hesitate. He picked the girl up, then sealed her lips with his own.
“!” After the initial surprise, the girl’s eyes widened, and she instinctively began to cooperate with Su Rui’s movements.
However, the inexperienced Yukino Yukinoshita clearly didn’t have the lung capacity to compare with Su Rui’s, and she quickly started to gasp for breath, gently patting Su Rui’s back to beg for mercy.
“Hoo~ That’s too much!”
The girl, breathing heavily, glared at Su Rui with a flushed face, but she looked more like she was pouting than throwing a tantrum.
Su Rui didn’t say anything, only picked up the girl in front of him again.
Now, it was time to get down to business.
“Wait a minute... my phone.”
“What are you doing with your phone at a time like this?”
Su Rui was a bit confused, but he didn’t stop her. Instead, he helped her get her phone.
Who knew that after getting her phone, Yukino Yukinoshita dialed a number.
He didn’t even need to look to know it must be her sister, Yukinoshita Haruno. And Su Rui also saw that Yukino Yukinoshita’s contact label was simple and clear: “Sister.”
“Why call her?”
Was it self-taught?
Haruno called Shizuka when she was “climbing” with him, Shizuka called Haruno when she was “climbing” with him, and now Yukino, her younger sister, was also going to call her sister when she was “climbing” with him.
Was this some kind of tradition?
For a moment, Su Rui even fell into doubt, but this didn’t affect his actions.
Seeing the girl in his arms call without explaining a single word, Su Rui felt a bit displeased. As soon as Yukino Yukinoshita had dialed the number, he pulled her closer and began their “climb.”
“Hiss~”
The girl turned her head and looked at Su Rui with a wronged expression, tears beginning to well up in her eyes, as if she didn’t understand why Su Rui had suddenly attacked.
“Weren’t you going to make a call? This is a good way to distract yourself,” Su Rui said casually, reaching out to wipe away the tears from the corners of the girl’s eyes.
“Mmm~”
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded, and then the call to her sister connected. Haruno’s voice came from the phone: “Long time no see, Yukino. Is there something you need to tell your sister?”
“Nothing~”
Yukino Yukinoshita said casually, her voice a little choked, with a crying tone: “I just wanted to hear my sister’s voice, mm~”
“Yukino? What happened? Has someone bullied you?”
Upon hearing Yukino Yukinoshita’s crying tone, Yukinoshita Haruno on the other end immediately became tense, her voice involuntarily rising a few octaves.
Su Rui faintly heard the sound of a chair being moved, indicating that this good sister, worried about her younger sister, had already stood up in concern.
“Nothing, I was just... bullied by Mr. Su Rui.”
The crying tone in Yukino Yukinoshita’s voice, caused by her grievance, had not disappeared, and although she was trying to suppress it, the girl still involuntarily let out some sobbing sounds.
However, upon hearing her words, Yukinoshita Haruno on the other end relaxed instead, sitting back down in her chair: “So that’s it. I didn’t expect Yukino to turn bad. Are you deliberately calling to show off to your sister?”
“...” Yukino Yukinoshita didn’t speak, but how could Yukinoshita Haruno on the other end not guess her sister’s thoughts?
“Alright, since that’s the case, I won’t hang up. If there’s anything you want to tell me, Yukino, you can tell me directly. Your sister is listening.”
“Mmm~”
Her own sister’s words made a warm current rise in Yukino Yukinoshita’s heart, and she couldn’t help but softly say: “Sister, I didn’t expect you to actually act like a sister at a time like this.”
“Of course, Yukino is my most beloved sister, so of course I care about you. But isn’t Mr. Su Rui going to say a few words to me? Even a greeting would be fine~”
“No, Su Rui is mine now!”
Yukino Yukinoshita immediately became tense, staring intently at Su Rui with her dark eyes, as if afraid he would speak.
However, Su Rui also wasn’t very keen on communicating with others in this situation. He simply held the girl in his arms and quickened the pace of their “climb.”
And after realizing this, Yukinoshita Haruno on the other end just chuckled lightly and didn’t say anything more.
Su Rui could tell that the reason Yukinoshita Haruno was so calm was partly due to Shizuka Hiratsuka’s call to her last time when she was “climbing” with him.
However, for Yukino Yukinoshita’s mood, he wasn’t so foolish as to reveal this matter.
During the “climb,” the never-before-experienced wonderful sensation made Yukino Yukinoshita feel a bit lost.
She quickly realized that something seemed to be coming and nervously clutched the phone in her hand: “Sister, I feel a bit strange.”
“Don’t be nervous, this is normal. Feeling dizzy is also very normal,” Yukinoshita Haruno on the other end just smiled, not explaining clearly, but instead said mysteriously: “You always have to learn to find the truth yourself, don’t you?”
Then, even though the call was still connected, Yukinoshita Haruno on the other end no longer continued to respond to Yukino Yukinoshita’s questions.
Just as the girl in his arms was also a bit lost, Su Rui held her tightly, embracing her in his arms: “You know now, this is very normal, don’t be afraid.”
And so, accompanied by a very rhythmic sound, a temporary, only a few seconds long, musical fountain was born.
Subsequently, Yukinoshita Haruno’s voice came from the phone: “Yukino? Are you still awake?”
“She’s already asleep.”
Su Rui covered the girl in his arms with the blanket and picked up the phone that was still on the call.
