Chapter 359: Finally Meeting

Being looked at intently by her sister's purple eyes, Yukinoshita Yukino's whole body tensed up. She had seen that look countless times since she was a child. She thought she had done something to her sister. After a strong counterattack, you will definitely receive an even more violent response from your sister.

But the current girl is not afraid at all. As mentioned before, she never hides her shortcomings.

There is no absolute perfection in the world, and such a thing cannot exist. The one who constantly makes up for shortcomings and evolves in a good direction every day is the perfect beautiful girl!

Nakamura Atsushi wrote in "The Story of the Mountain and the Moon", "I am deeply afraid that I am not a beautiful jade, so I dare not think about it hard, but I half-believe that I am a beautiful jade, so I don't want to be mediocre and associate with rubble."

Yukinoshita Yukino knows that she is not a piece of wood that cannot be carved, and believes that she is perfect, so she has always been stingy and strict with herself, and never mind using loneliness to constantly hone her heart and make her wisdom shine more brightly.

"Soga, little Yukino has really grown up a lot. When that day comes, I will definitely sit in front of the TV with my mother and watch you~"

Harano looked at Yukinoshita with that disturbing look for about half a second, and then said these warm words.

"Oh, that's great, Yukino-chan."

Sakura held her friend's hand and made a happy sound. Hojo Mikiko, who had been invisible for a long time, also came over.

"Yukino-chan, if your family also wants to go, you can tell Kyousuke directly."

"Um...oh, okay, thank you for your kindness."

Yukinoshita turned into a scarecrow again and responded to the two of them numbly. She can still be competitive when facing her sister, but if the target is her mother...

Hojo Kyosuke looked at Yukinoshita Yukino over there and sighed silently. This little girl still has a long way to go if she wants to defeat her sister. In other words, if she continues on the previous trajectory, she will never be able to defeat Yangno, who has already faced [society] head-on in this life.

As I said before, Yangno seems to be listening carefully to what others are saying, but in fact he may already be thinking about what time to go to bed every night. Unless Yukinoshita could let her see her so-called progress with her own eyes, it would be a waste of words.

"Is this a unique kind of love?" He looked at Yangno and asked.

The girl with short hair raised her eyebrows from bottom to top and glanced at the boy opposite her. Then she lowered her head and straightened her thick skirt. After making sure that her appearance was still perfect, she raised her head:

"Hey, Kyosuke, do you know what kind of things can leave a deep mark on people's memories?"

She picked up a bottle of sake with "Kamogawa" written on it and put it on the table. She pouted at Hojo Kyosuke, who shrugged and picked up the bottle, which was indeed too big for a girl. Help her fill the wine plate.

There was a small jug of sake standing next to it, but both of them turned a blind eye. After Hojo Kyosuke poured the wine, Yangno placed the huge wine bottle close to her body on the tatami, as if to say that she had contracted the bottle of wine.

"It's something that can leave a deep mark on people's hearts." Hojo Kyosuke said casually, then picked up the small wine bottle on the table and poured a drink for Yukino and Miki who were quietly listening to him and Harano talking.

It's embarrassing to say that most of the older women around him can drink, but he is the only one who still abides by his principles.

Hearing this, Yang Nai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Full marks! He is indeed the man that my mother likes. With his ability to talk nonsense, he can already serve as my father's secretary."

"I'll admit it." Hojo Kyosuke took a sip of the peach soda that Eirili put in front of him. If he picked up Shiba-senpai's cup again, Eiriri would probably flip the table.

Everyone here probably knows exactly what answer Yang Nai wants, but no one likes or agrees with that answer.

"As a writer, you should certainly know that tragedy can convey far more types of emotions than comedy. In terms of workload, destroying a beautiful thing is far simpler than shaping a beautiful thing, but The effect achieved is far superior to the latter, which is why love novels and movies are always expressed in the form of tragedy.”

Yangno gently sipped the transparent wine in the cobalt blue wine dish. Although she was talking about herself and her sister, she didn't even look over there, she just stared at it intently. Hojo Kyosuke on the opposite side:

"And all art comes from life. Maybe the sight of Xiao Xueno alone and alone makes you feel uncomfortable, so you want to help her get out of that predicament. But what you don't know is that there is only one person huddled in the corner. Looking at me in the spotlight in the dark corner made Xiaoxue feel the pain of being abandoned by the whole world, and she grew up quickly. "

Yang Na drank up the crystal wine in the porcelain plate in one gulp, letting out a cheerful "Ha~" in his throat, and ended with one sentence:

"Afterwards, I will have painful memories, constantly recalling my mistakes, constantly comparing my performance with mine, and sadly telling myself not to be like the last time. This kind of experience is far better than telling her to teach her directly. How to do it to leave a deep mark on her soul."

"..."

Hojo Kyousuke drank water silently, having a full understanding of why Yukinoshita had the personality he had now.

What kind of Shura-like education method is this?

He didn't think that Haruno was targeting Yukinoshita deliberately, because from Haruno's previous description of her childhood, he knew that the other party's memories were far more painful than Yukinoshita's. And her excellent performance now is the most favorable proof of her theory.

Yukinoshita often uses the [rule of experience] when debating, and often ends with "This is an inference made from my own experience", which may also be learned from Haruno.

Hojo Kyosuke is really curious now, what kind of mother would raise such sisters.

His arm was grabbed, and he turned his head to see Eriri with tears in her eyes.

Damn, can this guy not be so easy to fool, believing whatever others say.

Needless to say, he also knew that Eriri was thinking of her experience of being bullied. Yukinoshita Haruno's words were 100% consistent with her.

Hojo Kyosuke reached out and held Eriri's somewhat cold little hand, while calling the waiter to bring a glass of Coke filled with ice cubes as quickly as possible.

If he hadn't met him, he believed that Haruno's words would be enough to make Eriri cry in bed for a whole day. But now...

"If destruction is just for the sake of destruction, it will be meaningless. The reason why tragedy can move people's hearts is that there will be rebirth after destruction."

Yeah, well said, I was just about to say that, worthy of my Nitsu-chan!

Hojo Kyosuke nodded repeatedly, and he felt that something was missing. It turned out that Nishimiya Naoko, who had also experienced Shura-style education, was missing.

From behind him came Naoko's voice, which was as soft as a cloud and had a unique sense of clarity. However, the firm will in these words made Yukinoshita Haruno look up at the person who spoke.

"You're back, yes, yes...hiss——"

Hojo Kyosuke also turned his head, and then restrained his impulse to turn his head back immediately with 1.8 million points of perseverance.

He stood up immediately with a big smile on his face:

"Miyamizu-san, Nishimiya auntie, welcome, welcome."

I thought I would see Mitsuha and Naoko with four cute little girls, but I didn't expect that it was Miyamizu Toshiki and Nishimiya Yaeko with their daughters.

No way, it's okay for Nishimiya to come, but what are you doing here, uncle?

This place is full of young people, it's not suitable for you, you will become as lonely as Yukinoshita just now, and no one will talk to you kindly, no one will help you pour wine, and no one will take the initiative to move the food in front of you... You will starve to death.

Thinking of this, Hojo Kyosuke smiled and asked them to sit down.

Hojo Kyosuke didn't know that he was not the only one whose scalp was tingling now.

Hojo Ichiro was drinking happily. His son's friends in society were all talented and spoke better than the other. He was thinking about how to show off his useless son to his old friends in Tokyo in a reserved and modest way, but suddenly he saw the arrival of the pair of sisters named Yukinoshita.

Alas——

The old father groaned in pain, then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and exhaled a long breath of turbid air with the smell of alcohol.

Son, son...

He no longer expected to teach his son some principles of life, because the current situation was that he had never seen it even after so many years of experience in Tokyo. Teachers, female college students, restaurant owners... Now even sisters have come.

He only hoped that his son could tell him that this pair of sisters was the last.

Fortunately, the old father's sadness did not last too long. His son's energetic friends picked up their glasses and came over. With them, Hojo Ichiro seemed to have found the long-lost passion, and he also made an appointment with Maki Kyosuke to go racing together later, well, four-wheeled.

But the old father's happiness did not last long. After his son stood up, he also stood up numbly and looked at the strange middle-aged man in a neat suit outside the private room, and Nishimiya Glass's mother.

I knew, I knew, this day would come eventually.

Looking at his son's sincere smile, he finally found his own shadow in his son.

He can still smile so sincerely at this time, worthy of being my son.

Thinking of this, he tried to move his numb heart, pulled his stiff face, and showed a smile exactly the same as Hojo Kyosuke.

And Miyamizu Toshiki outside, without anyone introducing him, knew the identity of Hojo Ichiro from the identical smile. After listening to Hojo Kyosuke's introduction, he sneered in his heart, and said that it was true. He smiled and casually exchanged a few words with others, and then sat next to Hojo Ichiro without any hesitation.

For this kind of situation where someone comes in the middle of the banquet, everyone is accustomed to it, and they move their butts neatly and retreat one by one.

Well, this time he retreated particularly far.

The two editors who were originally sitting on the left and right of Hojo Ichiro have moved far away this time. The table that can seat six people is now occupied by only Onitsuka Eikichi and Kurikoto Hata Goro who are still drinking without noticing. These two idiots have been arguing fiercely about who is the number one subordinate of Hojo Kyosuke.

Looking at the nose and the heart, Hojo Ichiro changed from sitting cross-legged to sitting upright, his body straightened, and he wanted to take out hair oil to make his pompadour hair more shiny, so as to strengthen his confidence.

He did not use his peripheral vision to peek at the man beside him with a deep and imposing aura, because he knew that the other party must be staring at him closely.

This silence lasted for about three minutes. From the table on the left, the energetic voices of Yotsuba and Yuzuru, as well as the sweet laughter of Hojo Mikiko and Nishimiya Yaeko, and the debate between Nishimiya Naoko and Yukinoshita Haruno, could be heard.

But those voices were not very clear, because opposite the two middle-aged men, Onizuka Eikichi and Hata Goro were still shouting loudly, and the strange atmosphere hanging over the table could not affect them at all.

If there was no trace of reason left, the two might have raised their glasses and asked the uncle opposite why he didn't drink quickly. Was he afraid that his boss couldn't pay for the wine? Was he not giving face? Why did he have a gloomy face on such a happy day? Be happy.

"It's so hot. The temperature in Tokyo has started to rise." Hojo Ichiro broke the silence.

"Yeah." Miyamizu Toshiki spat out a word stingily.

Hojo Ichiro's teeth were sore after being surrounded by everyone like a star and listening to all the good words. Not to mention when he was famous in the Tokyo legal community, even in the cowshed in his hometown, who wouldn't be respectful to him?

But the voice of the unfilial son kept ringing in his ears. Thinking of the well-behaved and sensible girl whose last name was Miyamizu, he gritted his teeth and opened his mouth again:

"Miyamizu-san is on vacation today. It seems that work is going very well."

For a man, there is nothing more to be proud of than having a complete family and a reliable job. It is obviously inappropriate to praise the family, and praising his daughter for being well-behaved will hit the muzzle of the gun, so Hojo Ichiro wittily chose work as a breakthrough.

He already knew about Miyamizu Toshiki's job when Miyamizu Mitsuha came to visit him at home last time. He was a senior bureaucrat of the Tokyo Fire Department. At his current age, he can reach this position. As long as the family behind him can give enough help, it is not impossible for him to go further into the Ministry of General Affairs and become the Vice Minister of General Affairs in the future.

According to his investigation, Miyamizu Toshiki's original family was entrenched in the Nara Mizoguchi family. They didn't have much else, but they had a lot of land and money. And even if there was no family, if Kyosuke became his son-in-law and provided him with enough political donations, it would be enough to support him to go further.

Thinking of this, Hojo Ichiro gradually regained the feeling of strategizing when he was a lawyer, and his eyes lit up.

"Yes, on such a day, as a superior, I should take the Shinkansen and inspect Tokyo for hidden disasters, and not be a salary thief. But I appeared here and drank in the middle of the day."

Miyazu Toshiki originally had a standard square face. Once he was serious, he had a powerful aura without anger. Now, after listening to the words of Hojo Kyosuke's father, he instantly remembered his daughter's reluctance before going out. Suddenly, he was sad and angry.
