“So, what does Yukino think of Mr. Su Rui?”
Yukinoshita Haruno didn't mind her sister's indignant look; instead, she continued to smile and watch her, narrowing her eyes to carefully observe her sister's reaction.
“I…” Yukino Yukinoshita was momentarily speechless, looking at her sister and unable to speak.
“Didn’t you already say you have feelings for Mr. Su Rui? Why are you still asking me?”
“Little Yukino is such a slow child.”
Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and patted the spot next to her, signaling Yukino Yukinoshita to turn off the light so the two sisters could have a good chat.
After Yukino Yukinoshita turned off the light and got into bed, her sister suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered with a smile in her voice:
“Of course, it’s because I’m willing to share Mr. Su Rui with Yukino~.”
“…How can you even say something like that?!”
Yukino Yukinoshita stiffened for a moment, then didn't bother with Yukinoshita Haruno anymore:
“Since Big Sister has nothing else to say, I’m going to sleep. I still have class tomorrow.”
Yukinoshita Haruno didn't mind her sister's coldness; after all, Yukino had been quite introverted and shy since she was little.
So, before sleeping, Yukinoshita Haruno whispered one last thing into her sister's ear:
“As far as I know, Mr. Su Rui already has more than two women around him, which means we also have a chance~ Yukino, think about it. Although he has a somewhat cold personality, Mr. Su Rui is powerful and truly cares about you.”
After speaking, she didn't wait for Yukino Yukinoshita's response, smiling as she said, “Alright, I’m going to sleep too. Goodnight, Yukino.”
Afterward, Yukinoshita Haruno also got into bed and closed her eyes, turning her back to Yukino.
Yukinoshita Haruno slept soundly with no pressure, but her sister, after hearing her words, tossed and turned, unable to sleep well the entire night.
The next day, Su Rui was sitting in the living room, passing the time on his phone and circulating the spiritual energy within his body, when he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening. He turned his head and saw a black-haired girl with prominent dark circles under her eyes emerge from the bedroom. She paused when she saw him.
“Good morning, Mr. Su Rui. I’ll go make breakfast.”
For some reason, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't dare to meet Su Rui’s gaze, quickly shifting her eyes and walking towards the kitchen. As the girl brushed past Su Rui, he, with his keen eyesight, noticed the blush on her pretty face.
Su Rui looked at the closed bedroom door of Yukino Yukinoshita with a puzzled expression, but didn't say anything more.
It was still early. For a student, even if she had to prepare her own breakfast, it was a bit too early.
A little while later, Yukinoshita Haruno woke up and greeted Su Rui, who was sitting in the living room:
“Good morning, Mr. Su Rui. You’re up so early.”
“Mm.” Su Rui nodded, looked up at Yukinoshita Haruno’s smiling face, then glanced towards the kitchen. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to directly ask about the sisters' private matters.
However, Yukinoshita Haruno immediately guessed Su Rui’s thoughts. She smiled and sat beside him, her soft thigh pressing against Su Rui’s, and explained:
“Yukino had insomnia last night, which is why she woke up so early. Actually, it might be because of some things I said to her…”
Before Yukinoshita Haruno could finish speaking, Yukino Yukinoshita’s cold voice came from the kitchen:
“Big Sister, if you don’t have anything else to do, come in and help me.”
“Alright, alright, I’m coming. Mr. Su Rui, I’ll tell you about these things next time if there’s an opportunity.”
Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and winked at Su Rui, then walked into the kitchen.
After a simple breakfast, as the Yukinoshita sisters were clearing the dishes and preparing to leave, Shizuka Hiratsuka grabbed Su Rui’s wrist, who also wanted to leave:
“Wait a moment, you’re coming with me to Soubu High School for an interview today.”
“I told you, didn’t I? I don’t want to be a teacher, not even a life guidance teacher.”
“Oh, come on~” Shizuka Hiratsuka shook Su Rui’s wrist. Perhaps not wanting her students to see her acting spoiled, she cautiously glanced at the Yukinoshita sisters who were still busy in the kitchen, then leaned close to Su Rui’s ear:
“You don’t have to do anything. The work of a life guidance teacher isn’t much, almost nothing. I’ll do it for you. You just need to occasionally come to school and accompany me in this capacity.”
“…Alright, I can occasionally help you out.”
With things said to this extent, Su Rui reluctantly nodded. Thus, when they were about to leave in the morning, the four people split into two groups.
Yukinoshita Haruno still had to manage her family’s business. After smiling and waving goodbye to Su Rui and Yukino Yukinoshita, she drove away in her car.
Meanwhile, Su Rui sat in the passenger seat, noticing Yukino Yukinoshita in the back seat looking at him with curious eyes, seemingly wanting to speak but hesitating.
“If you have a question, just ask. I’m going to be a life guidance teacher at Soubu High School.”
Directly stating what he was going to do, Su Rui waited for Yukino Yukinoshita’s next words, but the girl just blushed and stammered, unable to speak.
Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was driving, opened the car window and took out a lighter, wanting to smoke, but Su Rui casually snatched away the lighter and cigarettes:
“No smoking. Quit it.”
“Hey… Fine, I’ll quit, but you have to help me, and if I listen to you, there should be a reward, right?”
Shizuka Hiratsuka immediately cast aside what she had originally intended to say about Yukino Yukinoshita. She drove while looking at Su Rui beside her with a foxy smile.
“Okay, what kind of reward you get depends on your performance.”
“Alright, just be ready. I’ll make my demands then.”
Not knowing what she thought of, Shizuka Hiratsuka’s gaze became resolute, like a protagonist in a hot-blooded manga who had determined their goal.
At this moment, Yukino Yukinoshita, sitting in the back seat with her school bag, slowly spoke:
“Mr. Su Rui, could I please ask you to be the life guidance teacher for my club?”
Su Rui was stunned for a moment, not expecting to have work before even starting his job, but Shizuka Hiratsuka’s words made him sigh in relief:
“Yukino’s club is called the Service Club, but in reality, she’s the only member. If you become its life guidance teacher, you actually won’t have to do anything.”
“That’s rude, Shizuka-sensei. Even I occasionally need guidance and help from a life guidance teacher.”
Yukino Yukinoshita’s tone, which had started out strong in refuting Shizuka Hiratsuka, somehow gradually weakened, to the point where Su Rui had to listen carefully to hear her voice.
Shizuka Hiratsuka lightly coughed:
“What I mean is, Su Rui can serve as the life guidance teacher for several clubs at the same time.”
