Chapter 102 A Pool of Blood Will Drown You

Soma Yukihira’s “Wow” was particularly sincere.

However, Mito Yumei didn't care at all and said coldly, "Don't make that stupid face! Actually, I'd rather say 'wow' to you right now."

The shopping street president and Ms. Mayumi Ome, who were watching, didn't really understand what Suzuki was, but since he was involved with terrorists and the Prime Minister's election, it was quite impressive...

After about five or six minutes of silence, Yukihira's phone rang.

The incoming call was from the landline of Polar Star Dormitory, but the person speaking was not Grandma Fumihiro, but Zenji Marui, who unexpectedly did not go to the library.

The subject was asking when he would be back.

After all, the short vacation was only one day. Even if Polar Star Dormitory left the door open for him, he would be in trouble once the gate of Totsuki was closed tomorrow morning. Yukihira calculated the time carefully and thought he should be able to make it in time, so he reported an approximate hour.

After saying that, he was about to hang up the phone.

However, on the other side, Mito Yumei stared at Soma Yukihira for a long time, looking thoughtful.

The nature of human beings is to admire the strong. Extraordinary strength will inevitably bring corresponding goodwill. Yukihira is a guy with a clean appearance. Thanks to these points, even though he made a lot of bad remarks after entering Totsuki, he still has a good popularity.

In terms of her favorability, it also ranks quite high.

but……

Thinking of this, she almost wanted to touch him and weigh him. "Hey, you, do you have some hidden charm that I haven't discovered? After looking at you for a while... you don't look so handsome that you'd bring disaster to the country."

"Did you drug her?"

"yes!"

Miss Mito immediately slammed her palms, "You're a dastardly fellow! You might have drugged the food. Otherwise, how could you have charmed Suzuki Sonoko to that degree?!"

Her voice was not loud, and Xingping only heard the latter half. He was really confused: "If you seriously make such speculations, I will really be angry. Drugged? I cook very carefully, okay? And Yuanzi is obsessed with me--"

At this point, he stumbled abruptly, his expression a bit puzzled. "I don't think she's particularly infatuated with me."

Although it was stated in a declarative tone, the question was surprisingly genuine.

On the other end of the phone (Marui usually uses the hands-free modem when making calls from a landline), Sakaki Ryoko, who was passing by, vaguely overheard the key point and immediately ordered:

"Xingping, don't hang up yet!"

For this serious topic, rational and intelligent roommates must be present and listen!

Yukihira howled in confusion at the person on the other end of the phone, and Mito Yumei, who had been muttering for a long time, was obviously no longer satisfied with just complaining in her heart.

In fact, the words she used in her comments were deeply personal attacks.

For example: "You can't feel it? Forget it. It's rare to find a man as insensitive as you. Except when it comes to cooking, I refuse to trust your intuition."

"Objective facts are more telling than you."

Yukihira thought to himself, what is objective fact? Objective fact...isn't it just that Sonoko and I haven't seen each other for a long time?

"Since the autumn training camp—and even before that, we didn't see each other very often. We were together for just over two months in total. Even though it felt like we spent all weekend together, I was just working on cooking, and he sometimes didn't even talk."

Rou Mei tutted her words. "So, regarding the fact that she didn't actively talk to you... you're still quite resentful?"

Yukihira:……

Yukihira calmly changed the subject: "What do you mean by objective facts?"

Rou Mei's expression became increasingly indescribable. She stared at him for a long moment before saying, "Well, that's understandable. As a chef, you know very little about Totsuki, and you know nothing about the Nakiri family either. Asking you to understand Suzuki is too demanding."

"Come to think of it, maybe what she likes is your pure and natural nature."

"Hello……"

"Alright, alright," Mito Yumei waved her hand and said, "There are thousands of people with the last name Suzuki, but the Suzuki of your sponsor, Ms. Sonoko, is probably the Suzuki you see constantly mentioned on TV shows or in the news in your daily life."

"The leading chaebol."

“The scope is global.”

"And Suzuki Sonoko," Rou Mei put her hands together and snapped them together, "she is the next generation heir."

There was silence in the room for about ten seconds.

Yukihira was genuinely confused.

"Just the style of Yuanzi." He would carry a small bag whenever he went out, and was more focused on playing games than chatting with people. Apart from eating, he never did anything serious: "A multinational chaebol is fine, but an heir?

Mito Yumei shrugged and said, "I don't know the specific situation very well. What is the specific level of the Suzuki family this generation... Anyway, they are planning to take in a son-in-law."

Xingping said "Oh" calmly.

Rou Mei: "Aren't you surprised?"

Xingping didn't even find the point of surprise. After thinking it over again and again, he asked back: "Are you talking about marrying into the family?"

"That doesn't matter. My dad married into the family. Things like this depend on both parties' willingness."

What he said was sincere, not like he was "open-minded and therefore not prejudiced", but rather that there really was no such thing as "prejudice".

He is very handsome and free and easy.

Rou Mei was inexplicably killed by this aura and whispered, "With the temperament created by your mentality, no wonder she would do that for you."

Yukihira asked, "What kind of thing?"

Roumei thought about it and decided to start from the beginning.

"The Suzuki family started looking for a son-in-law a few years ago, but it never came to fruition."

"Although the failure rate is high, it seems they are serious. They spend a long time with each blind date, and the cooperation is well thought out. The blind dates that were widely spread were all caught off guard in the end. It can only be said that fate is playing tricks on them."

"But during this period, the Suzuki family's blind date activities suddenly became extremely frivolous."

"The Oshizuka family was completely exposed—it was said that by sheer coincidence, the orphan of Miss Suzuki's childhood savior suddenly appeared, ready to marry her—so the young master of the Oshizuka family didn't even get a second look and simply gave way to the orphan."

"As a result, the orphan of our benefactor, the surnamed Cui Sheng, barely survived two days before word spread that he had a terminal illness."

Mayumi uttered a soft "Wow" and exclaimed, "What kind of luck is this..."

Roumei laughed and said that the next part was the key point.

"Although the Suzuki family's [Son-in-Law Project] changes [Person in Charge] frequently, their family's emphasis on the [Project] is undeniable, so the gap between the two blind date candidates won't be long."

"Oh," Mayumi was surprised and admired at this moment: "She can come out so quickly?"

Rou Mei: "It's not like we've broken up in a relationship. I still need to spend time healing from the broken heart..."

Miss Mito asked as a matter of course, "Is this a blind date, or the kind where you marry into the family? Since this one doesn't work, shouldn't you quickly look for the next one?"

Although they always break up due to natural disasters and man-made tragedies, people of the Suzuki zaibatsu's status who are waiting for a promotion and just want to meet her are like spring leeks, after one crop is harvested, another crop will come. The Suzuki family also becomes more and more courageous after repeated failures. If the previous blind date is confirmed to be unsuccessful, they will start tentatively contacting the next one after about half a month.

"But this time, the terminally ill one has been gone for two months."

Rou Mei gestured exaggeratedly and said, "It's been two whole months, and there's still no news about the next one!"

And a few days ago, a lady who was trying to push her own boy was directly rejected by Mrs. Suzuki Tomoko when she was chatting with her.

The wording is particularly blunt.

Starting with this phone call, a rumor spread that the second daughter of the Suzuki family, Sonoko, had fallen in love with a commoner.

She actually fell in love!

Because Daomingsi has been in this style recently, and has caused a lot of trouble in Yingde, which is quite ugly. The onlookers have said: Apart from the part about the cabinet election, the symmetry of these two families is really scary.

Although there is little news about Miss Suzuki's true love, there is much news about Master Daomingsi's true love. With such a gender reversal, the same story outline can be used for the gossip of the Eight Twos!

By the time the rumor reached the Mito family, who were able to find out the details, the word "wind" in "rumor" had disappeared, and the rumor had become a message, which was so serious that it could intimidate people.

The specific story background is different because of the different versions, each one has its own bloody plot, but the result is the same.

——While Daoming Si was still struggling desperately with his mother because of his "lack of freedom in love", Miss Suzuki seemed to have succeeded in her struggle and could marry the commoner openly.

Otherwise, why would Mrs. Suzuki refuse the blind date recommendation?

When it was, the crowd’s first reaction was “Are you kidding me?!”

But everyone has many connections, and after asking around, details emerge one after another.

First of all, Mrs. Tomoko did inquire about land and contacted an architect, with the idea of ​​designing a new mansion.

Of course, rich people may like to live in new houses, but Mrs. Tomoko has also contacted a fashion designer!

The lady from the Hitachiin family is still in Milan, but the news that the Suzuki family has ordered dresses has already been revealed to her. The key point is that it involves a man and a woman!

And they asked for retro style, long robes, and wedding dresses.

With this inference, it is almost certain that Suzuki Sonoko will marry a commoner┓( ` )┏

This matter was confirmed quite a long time ago, but until now, after everyone brainstormed, they even found out what kind of flowers their family planned to use as decorations for the ceremony, but they still couldn't find out who the civilian was!

——Although I was just asking for fun, considering everyone's wealth and connections, I couldn't find out anything. This really speaks volumes.

What does it mean?

This shows that Suzuki Sonoko is obviously smarter than Daomingsi Tsukasa!

She also had a quarrel with her family, but before the quarrel, she protected her [true love] first!

After the golden-haired girl finished speaking, she turned her head and looked straight at Soma Yukihira.

Soma Yukihira was confused, and then he pointed at himself tentatively: "You...are you talking about me?"

Mito Yumei: "What else?"

"It's hard to talk about this person directly, and their background is so ordinary that Suzuki even took care of the entire wedding. The curious have checked several times, but haven't found anyone who fits the bill in Miss Suzuki's social circle."

"Except you! The one who slipped through the net, Soma Yukihira!"

"More than two months ago, around the same time she ran into you," Mito said, and it made more and more sense. "Around this time, the blind date was supposed to be rescheduled, but it was inexplicably canceled..."

"You had only met a few times back then, so you're so arbitrary—she didn't fall in love at first sight, did she?"

Rou Mei was genuinely confused and asked, "You...are you really that worthy of falling in love at first sight?"

"Of course!"

Miss Sakaki Ryoko, who had been listening to gossip on the phone for a long time, obviously disagreed with her assessment and shouted, "Xingping, have you forgotten?"

Her memory was very clear: "You said before that when we first met, she even used her phone to secretly film the cooking process."

"I also said that your smile when you serve the food is very touching!"

——Although the original sentence used the word "infectious", and it also created a terrible metaphor of [a mother looking at her ugly son].

But isn’t it enough that the meaning is conveyed?!

So: "...it really exists?" Roumei was really surprised this time.

On the other side, Soma Yukihira's sanity was struggling to survive.

He said that was not right.

"Then why hasn't Yuanzi contacted me yet? If she really likes me, this doesn't make sense, right? At least she should call me once in a while."

Roumei: "Wow, do you think rebelling against your family is easy?"

"Ever since Suzuki Sonoko decided to take a son-in-law in a few years ago, she's taken the easy route. She no longer needs to study to inherit the family business. Regardless of her own qualifications, since she's given up on studying, her hopes of managing the consortium in the future will definitely rest with her fiancé!"

"After enjoying so many years of ease, the price I paid was a marriage that was worth more than what I paid. I found a qualified husband, and now I'm in love with him after a disagreement. I want to marry my sweetheart with just a few words?"

"Don't you think about it? If two people can't carry the work, what will the huge Suzuki Group do?"

"As long as the elders of the Suzuki family are clear-headed, they will definitely stop her from doing this!"

Yoshino Yuuki shouted on the other end of the phone: "Liking Yukihira is not nonsense!"

However, the sound was not loud and Roumei did not hear it.

She sighed, "Don't even mention coming out to find you. I think during this period of struggle, she's probably been physically restricted. It's no exaggeration to say that she probably couldn't even see her phone."

This expression suddenly overlapped with that of the roommates in Polar Star Dormitory.

Yukihira leaned against the counter in the fried chicken shop, feeling a sense of discomfort that hadn't been there for a long time.

——Another person who said that Sonoko liked him.

——There is one more person who believes that Sonoko likes him.

——It was as if he was the only one left in the world, and he was numb to the feeling of love.

His abnormality was not obvious, and he seemed to be moved by the sudden deep affection. So after Mito Yumei followed his own logic for a long time, he inexplicably developed a sense of admiration for Miss Suzuki.

"No wonder Suzuki Sonoko has been doing this for so many years, but her reputation is still better than Daomingsi's."

"In terms of courage alone, they are not on the same level!"

Yukihira: “Hmm?”

Rou Mei quickly started gossiping, "That commoner girl Daoming Si liked didn't hide her feelings from the beginning, so once there were signs, she was immediately targeted."

"Actually, there was no need to do anything special," Mito said, adapting surprisingly well to this part. "Mrs. Kaede simply expressed her preferences appropriately, and her father's company made a wise choice. Within two days of losing her job, she became homeless. It seems she even dropped out of school, and her relatives and friends were also greatly affected."

"I guess after two more days of this, Daomingsi won't need to clear his mind, and this Cinderella herself should calm down."

Soma Yukihira was slightly surprised.

"I only now realize that no matter how melodramatic a TV show is, it still has a reality as its template."

Mito Yumei uttered a disrespectful "tsk" and said, "Don't be so indifferent. That young lady is a lesson for you, okay?"

"I can't believe that Miss Suzuki really loves you enough to hide you so well," she said, touching the shoulder of this annoying male classmate, with lingering fear, "But I remember that old gentleman with the title of consultant in the Suzuki family was notoriously bad-tempered. Rather than waving a check to make you give up, he might even steal a piece of money and slap you..."

"If the Daomingsi family were to act so condescendingly and force you to surrender, Suzuki, in a fit of rage, would probably silence you personally and physically make you disappear!"

The red-haired boy lowered his head and looked at his hands, surprisingly not supporting the event.

On the kitchen counter, the hands-free phone was dimly lit, and Marui's distressed voice could be heard faintly from the other end of the receiver: "Damn it..."

"Being kept is fine, but how can you be so deeply in love and not regret it?!"

Sakaki Ryoko immediately retorted that this was obviously true love!

She seemed to pick up something and hit Marui hard. "Even if it was just a joke, you are not allowed to use the word 'support' anymore. The young lady's firm heart is truly unbearable."

Thoughts...

Soma Yukihira thought: Does Sonoko really have feelings for me?

Human memory is too unreliable. Repeated verbal hints will even make those images complete themselves. Until now, he is not even sure whether there were throbbing stars in the girl's eyes when she stared at him when they first met.

But since it was love at first sight, and it was so strong that she immediately decided to fight against her family—

——When Yuanzi looked at him, there should have been stars in her eyes, right?

"Speaking of which," Rou Mei's voice was filled with emotion. "For such an irrational thing, she went against her parents and won. Suzuki Sonoko's style is really contradictory to the rumors..."

"Alas," because the male protagonist continued to be distracted, it was the onlookers far away in the Polar Star Dormitory who asked: "What is the character of the eldest lady?"

"I really don't know the details," Rou Mei said, "but there are only rumors. "It's said that she refused to take the succession course because she was lazy or didn't like it, so President Suzuki decided to take her in. In theory, she should be a very self-centered and willful person."

But the Suzuki family has always spread the rumor that their daughter does not like to work: originally, everyone used this as a fig leaf, and was happy to give Suzuki face and would not directly discuss the ability of the eldest daughter.

But later, as she participated in more and more social activities (mainly blind dates), she suddenly discovered that the capable elites in the circle (most of whom were her former blind date partners) were somewhat reticent when talking about her.

At a private dinner, the topic somehow turned to relationships between men and women. Someone asked Feng Jingye with a half-smile, probably hoping to make a joke, "What's that innocent and lovely Miss Suzuki like?"

The word "innocent and cute" is deliberately emphasized.

After all, for the title of "heir", this is almost equivalent to directly calling someone a waste.

The third son of the Feng family had an expression that was hard to describe at the time. It was as if he wanted to laugh but felt awkward. He was silent for a while and just said that the guy had nothing to do with being innocent and cute.

Who is the third son of the Feng family?

His abilities are so outstanding that even the eldest and second-in-command combined can hardly suppress him. Even though he is not doing his job and fooling around in Ouran, he still does his unclear club job quite well.

How could Suzuki Sonoko be a good person if she could make him so angry?

Mito Yumei spread her hands and said, "As far as I know, her reputation in Yingde is not very good."

Apart from the fact that Eide Academy itself belongs to the Daomingsi family, and thus has a biased reputation (mainly because people with the surname Suzuki are all hypocritical), Ximen Sojiro from F4 seems to have also been deeply harmed by her.

Rumor has it that she is the type of person who is particularly skilled in relationships between men and women. She once made Mimasaka Rei angry in the cafeteria from a distance of 800 meters.

Soma Yukihira: ...

Soma Yukihira said very rationally: "I don't know any of these people you mentioned. The comparison is totally unrelated."

——And now it’s not just that I can’t feel the “love” you’re talking about, I don’t even know this “Suzuki Sonoko” at all…

Mito Yumei was even more surprised this time.

"Forget about others, but don't you know Mei Zuo?"

She looked out the window and said in surprise, "I remember the land on this shopping street, oh, and the football field in front. It seems that it was bought by an American writer. Speaking of which, his family originally planned to build a large construction project to connect it with the field in front of the station to form a new commercial area. Then suddenly there was no news..."

"I know that!"

The president of the shopping street, who had been listening for a while, raised his hand and answered, "There was indeed a demolition issue before, but no one wanted to leave their hometown. In the end, Yukihira impressed the person in charge with his cooking!"

Meat Charm: "...are you kidding me?"

President: “Huh?”

Ms. Mito's expression was very serious as she spoke of this. "For the Mimasaka Group, even if it were something like the size of Yukihira Shokudo—or even larger, even if it were an entire shopping street—razing it wouldn't be considered a major undertaking."

"The person you are meeting is at most a small leader."

"A small boss like that wouldn't even have a say in headquarters," Roumei turned to Xingping and said seriously, "She might have been moved by your food. That's probably true. But if she says she won't demolish the house, then she won't demolish it—"

The girl said in a deep voice: "Why does she?"

"She said so, so what?"

These words made the president feel a sense of crisis.

"What else? Will she regret it?!"

Mito Yumei tutted, "That's Meisaku, a gangster. Even if he keeps his word in public, he's secretly using hundreds of methods to make your life difficult. You've interfered with their plans, so how could they possibly not bear any consequences?"

But: "We haven't really felt any consequences recently..."

Mito Yumei actually believed what the president said. If the beautiful writer took action, they would not have the chance to worry about such trivial matters as "what to do if no customers come".

So what is the reason?

The yellow-haired girl was worried for a long time, and when she turned around, she saw Yukihira who had been silent. As the breeze blew through the curve of his red hair, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to her mind!

Combined with the subtle gossip she had accidentally heard in the past, Mito Yumei seemed to be possessed by Conan (here referring to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), and instantly came up with a new idea -

"Come to think of it, there seemed to be a fight near Ginza about a month ago. That night, the Mimasaka Group cordoned off a section of land and put it under martial law for most of the night, not letting anyone pass for a long time!"

"Even the Metropolitan Police Department hasn't filed any specific details about the incident. I only heard it was quite violent. When they cleaned up afterwards, they found a car with Suzuki license plates at the scene. It was said to be one of the three cars Miss Sonoko usually used. It looked badly damaged. There was a stud stuck straight through the hood, and the engine was punctured."

"At the time, some people even said that Suzuki and Mimasaka were involved in a feud, but the two families, one black and one white, had nothing to do with each other, and there was no deadly feud worth fighting over, so they just joked about it and let it go."

"Ah," Yukihira suddenly came to his senses: "I think I have a general idea of ​​this matter!"

Mito Yumei: "Huh?"

Is this still an unsolved mystery in the circle?

——You are really the male version of trouble maker!

Mr. Huoshui was unaware and explained, "It was when Master Shigong's shop had an accident. It was a trial run and only served a few customers. Sonoko and I went to eat together and met—"

At this point, Yukihira Soma slapped his head and belatedly said, "That one with curly hair like a pineapple, is that Daomingsi?"

"right!"

Yukihira recalled, "Come to think of it, when he was drunk, he did point at me and yell something like, 'How is this guy better than Ximen!'"

"But soon someone came and took him away..."

Rou Mei knocked on the table in agreement: "That's right, the ones coming should be the rest of F4."

"And it's most likely Mimasaka Rei!"

But that night, after Yukihira assisted Shinomiya in cleaning, he didn't even have a chance to look for anyone. The traffic coordinator directly evacuated them from another road connected to the side door, and the Bluetooth headset that was supposed to be on all the time also lost the signal early. Yukihira later called the lady on duty at the restaurant and was told that everyone on the street had been evacuated.

"After that, I basically couldn't contact Yuanzi anymore. I thought the young lady had eaten too many experimental vegetables and finally got tired of them..."

Rou Mei: "You sound quite lost, don't you?"

Before Yukihira could come to his senses and refute anything, he continued to annoy himself, "There's actually a Shura Field of this level, why didn't you let me know about it earlier!?"

——Speaking of which, the Yukihira family had been a stubborn household for several months without being retaliated against by the Mimasaka group. It was very likely that Suzuki intervened. In the peak battle that night, it was not said who would beat whom between Suzuki and Daomingsi. As for the result, it should be that Mimasaka Rei, with all her old and new grudges in her heart, stepped forward to fight Suzuki.

Look, Suzuki Sonoko's car was smashed through by a crutch!

Miss Mito Yumei connected the dots and seriously speculated, "Based on Mimasaka Rei's outburst at the Eide Cafeteria, he was incredibly furious about Suzuki Sonoko hanging Ximen. But because Ximen Sojiro volunteered, he couldn't do anything out of consideration for his friend's feelings."

Based on this inference, Mimasaka Rei had been enduring for so many years, but suddenly decided to take action that night, obviously because her [concerns] had disappeared!

In other words, "Because Suzuki found true love," she pointed at Yukihira, "that's you, so she didn't even want to put it off any longer and just went straight to the point of confronting Ximen!"

"Without having to worry about her friend's feelings, Mei Zuo Ling finally vented her anger and smashed Suzuki Sonoko's car with a crutch!"

Mayumi, who had been listening for a long time, pursed her lips and said, "She doesn't sound like... a good woman."

Rou Mei thought for a moment and said, "For Ximen Soujiro, maybe not. Look, his good brother is so angry that he wants to hit someone, right?"

"When Suzuki and Ximen met, they were both relatively young, so they probably had some genuine feelings for each other. It's hard to say what their mentality was in maintaining this ambiguous relationship."

"But," Miss Mito emphasized, "but after Suzuki Sonoko confirmed that she fell in love with Yukihira at first sight, she would rather break up with him and cut off this contact. At least she is really good to this guy!"

"Especially after your identity was exposed, Mei Zuo Ling will most likely take her anger out on you..."

Roumei thought that they had fought for the pinnacle of true love that night, and Ximen had probably seen Xingping. Similarly, Meizuo also knew that the little goblin who cheated on his gay friend was a red-haired girl.

"But up to now, not only has Xingping Restaurant not been retaliated against for obstructing the demolition, there's even no sign of the pressure from those who stole their love!

"Think carefully, only sufficient benefits can heal the wounds of the soul. To ensure your peaceful life, Miss Suzuki has really made a lot of efforts behind the scenes and blocked many problems for you..."

"Is it actually so difficult?"

The roommates on the other end of the phone were so moved that they were about to cry, and the sound of sniffing could be heard one after another.

Yukihira is obviously a very handsome man. After being brainwashed for a long time, he still had some rational doubts at first: when the demolition company came to his door... he clearly hadn't met Sonoko yet?

Later, I became puzzled about the atmosphere of Shura Field Night (Rou Mei Yu): To be honest, except for the time when Yuanzi and the drunk pineapple-headed guy were throwing things at each other, the environment was a bit dangerous (after all, there were leftovers flying everywhere and it was very dirty), overall, it did not seem tense (for details, you can refer to the primary school students throwing paper balls at each other).

And he clearly remembered that although Mr. Ximen came up and generously carried Yuanzi, because the drunk Curly Daomingsi was too noisy, he carried him away first after a while, and another person (presumably Meizuo) drove the car.

——In Roumei’s imagined breakup, there is no male protagonist at all!

But as mentioned earlier, human memory is one of the most unreliable things in the world and cannot withstand repeated thinking.

After Roumei finished telling this touching love story of "I've let the whole world down (mainly Ximen Sojiro) but I won't let you down" with great emotion, Soma Yukihira himself even began to doubt himself amidst a series of sighs from the onlookers such as "It's really not easy being a young lady" and "She may not be nice to others, but she's really nice to Yukihira."

Did he forget some details because he was too tired and slept late during that period?

For example, if a car has been driven away, it can be driven back!

For example, if a Bluetooth phone suddenly loses its sound, it is very likely that it was broken due to physical conflict during a quarrel!

Yuanzi has lost contact since then. Maybe it's because the incident was too big and was exposed under the parents' noses, so they had to come clean?

——She protected his home, supported his hobbies, and fought for him against his family and friends. But even after doing so many things, she never said a word to him...

——He seems like a person who can’t keep secrets, but is there really such a side to him?

"But what about marriage?" Yukihira looked at his classmates, who, even through the phone line, were already gossiping about which fashion designer the Suzukis had contacted and speculating about the style of their wedding gowns. He said in a calm and confused manner, "Are you serious?"

What do you mean by serious?

Sakaki Ryoko was also curious: "Chinese-style wedding dress? Or is it because you guys are getting married?"

Marui's voice came closer from far away: "So, Yukihira, you're not dating with the intention of getting married? But the young lady has given so much. If you're not serious, you're definitely not worthy of her love!"

Rou Mei thought about it and actually got his unreality. She calmly advised: "It is better to think carefully about the important matter of life."

"But judging by the current situation, Suzuki Sonoko has cleared all obstacles and is even prepared to take on all the work herself. If you want to marry into Suzuki's family, the road ahead will be smooth!"

This description is inexplicably vivid.

Layer upon layer of images suddenly flashed through Soma Yukihira's mind, and the figure of the young lady sweeping fallen leaves on the ground with a broom suddenly appeared inexplicably.

She is a person who always appears to be extremely flustered when doing anything related to "labor".

Especially since her clothes were always so complicated - sometimes the hems were too long, making it inconvenient to bend over and squat, sometimes she had to wear gloves for fear of slipping and couldn't hold the broom handle, and her hair would often block her vision - just sweeping a pile of fallen leaves to roast sweet potatoes made her feel like she was climbing a mountain.

Not only will you be sweating profusely, but your look will also be half ruined.

Even so, Miss Suzuki was still very excited. It was obviously a sudden idea before he said goodbye, but this young lady was completely devoted to it. She squatted in front of the fire with shining eyes for half an hour. Even though her legs were numb and she couldn't stand up, she still remembered to take out a sweet potato and keep it by her side.

In fact, in Yukihira's opinion, these rare fragments are what truly count as their time together.

Yukihira looked at his friends who were gossiping. He didn't know if his mind was confused by the series of melodramatic stories, but when he recalled the scene of that guy squatting in the dusk waiting for roasted sweet potatoes, he forgot about his embarrassment, the dirty hem of his clothes, and the silly sound of his breathing.

He only remembered that there was a flickering and bright light in Yuanzi's eyes.

That was probably just the shadow of the fire reflected in the pupil.

It's not because you're doing something with someone you care about, or because you can't help but jump for joy.

But at this moment, Yukihira suddenly became unsure.

——At that moment, what made her eyes sparkle uncontrollably was really just the fire with roasted sweet potatoes in front of her?

The author has something to say: What else? Is it because of you squatting opposite the fire?

This chapter is better read in conjunction with chapters 66-68. Here's a tip for those who are too lazy to read: it's the part where Yunque was about to beat Yuanzi to death but was stopped halfway, and the American writer, as a local gangster, was cleaning up the mess for the Mafia godfather family. It was Yunque who hit the kidnapper.

Although all of Ms. Mito's inferences were logical, the "commoner" she was referring to was Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu.

Soma Yukihira, an innocent man who was tricked into sex by all his relatives and friends in this article. I have said before that if two people who are not compatible are forced to be together, the one with more bad friends will definitely lose first.
