Watching Ai run away, Yuzuru leaned back in his chair with some regret, gently swirling his wine glass as his gaze wandered around the room.
The banquet hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Ran, Kazuha, and Sonoko huddled together in a circle, seemingly devising some brilliant strategy. Their silvery laughter rang out intermittently, their youthful faces brimming with fighting spirit.
Akemi was still discussing fashion, her slender fingers tapping lightly on the tablet, while Ayako nodded in agreement from time to time.
The culinary exchange between Shizuka Ikenami and Eri Kisaki seemed to have entered a deeper stage, with both of them wearing rare expressions of relaxation.
Everything seemed so wonderful, and they got along exceptionally well.
Yuzuru stretched contentedly, but just as his arm was halfway out, he suddenly stopped.
Um?
Something feels off.
His gaze swept around the room, his brows furrowing slightly.
—Where's my dear sister?
Where did Yukiko Kudo, who was flitting about like a butterfly just moments ago, suddenly disappear?
Yuzuru's alertness instantly spiked. He put down his wine glass and was about to get up to look for it when, before he could react, a warm breath suddenly came from under the table.
"hiss--"
Yuzuru gasped, his fingers clenching the wine glass tightly.
broken!
Forgot that your good sister is the one who's most enthusiastic about "excitement".
The tablecloth swayed slightly, and a fair, jade-like hand quietly climbed onto his knee.
Her slender fingers seemed to carry an electric current as they slowly moved up her thigh, her fingertips gently circling through the fabric, each touch precisely landing on the most sensitive spot.
Yuzuru: "..."
He took a deep breath, trying to maintain his composure, and glanced around—good, no one was paying attention.
Except for one person.
Eri, who was discussing cooking with Shizuka Ikenami, seemed to realize that her best friend was missing. She turned her head and scanned the room, but after not finding her, her gaze fell on Nanami Hanyu, whose expression was a little strange.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
Her keen intuition as a top lawyer immediately detected the anomaly, but she simply pursed her lips and then nonchalantly turned back to continue her conversation with Shizuka Ikebab.
However, her repeated sips of wine revealed that the lawyer's inner world was not as calm as it appeared.
Yuzuru: "..."
This is really exciting!
He slowly lowered his head and met a pair of cunning, cat-like blue eyes under the table—
The tablecloth was pulled back, and Yukiko was looking up at him with her angelic face, winking at him. Her red lips curved into a mischievous smile, and her tongue lightly licked the corner of her lips.
"What are you thinking, you naughty little brother?" Her breath tickled his most sensitive spot, the warm touch seeping through the thin fabric. "Are you worried about Eri finding out?"
“Good sister…” Yuzuru’s lips parted slightly, and he used the hidden communication to transmit his voice directly to Yukiko’s ear, “You are playing with fire.”
"so what?"
Yukiko's voice was full of mischievous pleasure, "Weren't you very brave when you were bullying that little girl just now?"
Yuzuru: "..."
As expected of you, you always have to join in on every little thing, don't you?
Seeing that he remained silent, Yukiko smiled mischievously and took out a multi-purpose capsule from the deep V-neck of her dress with her slender hand. With a soft "poof," the smoke dissipated, and her angelic face was replaced by a rational and cold expression.
Yuzuru's hand trembled slightly: "Are you really not afraid of death?"
Yukiko smoothed her hair, put on her gold-rimmed glasses, and hummed, "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't it more exciting to do it in front of her?"
She, Yukiko Fujimine, is very vengeful!
How dare you ignore me? Let's see how your naughty younger brother bullies "you".
I'll still bully "you" to your face!
"I feel like we'll both be drowned by Attorney Fei sooner or later," Yu Shengnan muttered, propping one hand on the table.
"What are you afraid of? If you get caught, I'll take the blame for you!" Yukiko was determined to play this game to the end, and her expression and tone had undergone a subtle change. "Nan, don't be afraid, Auntie is here."
She deliberately emphasized the word "auntie".
Yuzuru Hanyu let out a breath.
Compared to the last time, this time the older sister's portrayal is significantly more lifelike, even perfectly capturing that ascetic aura.
The gaze behind the gold-rimmed glasses was calm and restrained, her red lips slightly pursed, a stark contrast to the "atrocity" unfolding under the table.
This contrast dramatically increases the game's danger level.
“Good sister…” Yu Shengnan’s voice was already hoarse, “If you keep doing this, I’m going to retaliate.”
"Oh?" Yukiko raised an eyebrow, her calm and composed expression making her seem even more dangerous. "Auntie is curious, how will you retaliate... um~"
She hadn't finished speaking.
A large hand slid down from the table and pressed down on her hairstyle, which had been transformed into an elegant bun.
Yuzuru Hanyu greatly respects Attorney Kiyoshi.
However, one should not refuse a gift from an elder, for to refuse would be disrespectful.
He was acting in accordance with the demands of "Attorney Fei".
The banquet hall was still filled with laughter and joy.
Yuzuru moved his chair forward two steps, holding the bottle cap in one hand to refill his glass, while his other hand somehow ended up under the table.
"Xiao Nan, pour me another cup too."
Ikeba Shizuka's voice rang out.
The woman in the kimono seemed oblivious to her apprentice's change, and walked over on her own, casually taking Eri's sake glass with her. "Pour a glass for your Aunt Eri too."
"OK."
Yuzuru responded, his voice incredibly calm.
He twisted open a new bottle of beverage with one hand, replaced the drunken bottle cap, and filled both glasses completely, the whole process flowing smoothly.
"Thank you for your help, Xiaonan."
Eri Kisaki took the wine glass, her gaze behind her glasses unfathomable.
Yu Shengnan and she lightly clinked glasses from a distance. Looking into her rational eyes, Yu Shengnan felt inexplicably guilty.
I have a feeling that I've already been exposed.
However, he wasn't particularly worried, as Eri probably didn't know that Yukiko was "disguised".
...
...
The banquet was drawing to a close.
The air was filled with the lingering aromas of sake and food, mixed with the subtle scents of perfume worn by the ladies, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
"Phew~"
Yuzuru narrowed his eyes, let out a sigh of relief, took his hand out from under the table, drank the rest of the wine in his glass in one gulp, then stretched his neck with a refreshed look, his expression as satisfied as a well-fed cat.
A moment later, Yukiko, who had been ridden by the flying dragon, emerged from some corner and appeared at the other end of the banquet table. Fortunately, she had been flitting around like a butterfly, and no one had noticed her disappearance for half a day.
Yukiko emerged from under the table, patting her impressively large chest, her face flushed and her eyes brimming with tears.
She casually picked up a glass of milk from the table and gulped it down.
As she swallowed, and the glass of milk was gone, there was no visible abnormality on her face.
Her acting skills are truly worthy of an international award-winning actress.
