Hearing about such serious consequences, Gabriel paused, her brows furrowing slightly. "Is that really true, Shiki-kun?!"
"I'm not sure, but it should be like this."
Shirakawa nodded seriously, then changed the subject, saying, "If Gabriel, you really want to help."
“My younger sister, Xiangzi, is sometimes lonely, but I simply can’t find the time to spend with her.”
"Gabrielle, why don't you find a fixed time each day to come to my house and keep Xiangzi company?"
Upon hearing this, Gabriel didn't even hesitate before agreeing immediately: "No problem, Shiki-kun, Shoko is so cute."
"And Shiki-kun always invites me to eat together and treats me to meals every day. I feel really bad about it."
"Then it's settled."
Shirakawa smiled and walked straight towards the apartment door.
"Alright, Shiki-kun, leave it to me."
"Please, Gabriel, I have to go now."
Hearing the innocent and adorable voice behind him, Shirakawa's mood couldn't help but improve.
Walking distance...
Didn't go long.
The address Yukinoshita sent wasn't far from her apartment, and Shirakawa quickly found the girl sitting on the bench.
She walked over quickly and said with a faint smile, "Sorry, Yukinoshita, I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long?"
Yukino Yukinoshita looked up and shook her head with some distress: "It's okay, rather I'm the one causing you trouble."
I think I upset you today.
Her fair cheeks flushed slightly; she was clearly embarrassed that her terrible sense of direction had been discovered...
But Shirakawa had no choice at this moment to provoke the girl's reserve.
She smiled and said softly, "Let's go, I'll take you there."
"There might be a lot of people at this intersection, so please be careful, Yukinoshita."
Yukinoshita stood up, gave a soft "hmm," and jogged a few steps to Shirakawa Shiki's side, falling half a step behind.
Feeling the crowd at the crossroads like a dark, raging storm, she gazed at the boy's back in front of her.
After hesitating for less than a second, Yukinoshita stretched out her small hand.
He gently pinched the other person's sleeve between his thumb and forefinger to prevent them from being separated by these people.
I thought Shirakawa would use this scene to tease her about her shame.
But the other person merely glanced back, smiled, and then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
This still made Yukinoshita's face feel a little hot, and she quickly lowered her head.
Even though the guy didn't say much, her heart was still filled with shyness.
Therefore, this is her instinct as a girl, her instinctive sense of modesty.
......
Shirakawa opened the front door and took out a pair of slippers for Yukino to change into.
He has quite a few women's indoor shoes at home, so there are plenty of extras for Yukino to wear.
"I apologize for disturbing you," Yukino said politely in a low voice behind her, and then followed her to the living room.
This was her first time visiting the boy's home, so she felt somewhat cautious.
They even moved their feet very quietly, as if afraid of making any big noise.
The living room was very tidy, and there weren't too many things, but judging from the decorations, the person was someone who liked tidiness and cleanliness.
This gave Yukinoshita a sense of belonging and a friendly feeling.
"No need to be so polite, just make yourself at home. 4.4"
"There's no need to be so formal here; we don't really do that at home."
Shirakawa waved his hand and calmly addressed the girl.
Treating it like his own home?! What does this guy mean by this...?
What was said unintentionally was taken seriously by the listener. Upon hearing his words, Yukinoshita's gaze began to wander unconsciously, and she felt somewhat guilty.
Shoko's rosy cheeks flushed with excitement as she approached, saying, "Welcome, Yukinoshita-neechan!"
Interrupted by the cute voice, Yukinoshita smiled slightly: "Yes, good morning, Shoko."
Knowing what the other party wanted to do today, Xiangzi quickly picked up the kitten at her feet.
With a radiant smile, she exclaimed, "This is Gale! Hehehe, isn't it cute?"
Upon seeing the little white cat that she had tucked under her armpits, a glint of light flashed in Yukinoshita's bright eyes, and she quickly reached out to take it.
Even when this completely unfamiliar girl hugged it, Gale merely tilted its head, seemingly lost in thought, and after staring at her for a while, it stopped resisting.
Snowflakes gently stroked its soft body with a hint of pleasure, occasionally rubbing its little head, their faces radiating happiness.
Chapter 129 Yukino admits she is inferior to her opponent
I witnessed this scene unfolding before my eyes.
Shirakawa stares speechlessly at Yukinoshita, who transforms into a cat lover the moment she encounters a cat.
A moment later, a smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Would you like something to drink?"
"And Xiangzi, are you thirsty? What would you like to drink?"
Shoko nestled around Yukinoshita, shaking her little head: "I'm fine with anything, Onii-chan."
Yukino glanced at Shirakawa and said softly, "There's no need for that. I'll just sit for a while."
Upon hearing this, Xiangzi pouted and asked in surprise, "Eh... Yukinoshita-neechan, aren't you supposed to stay at our house all day?"
Yukinoshita paused in her stroking of the cat, turned to look at Shoko, and then subconsciously shifted her gaze to Shirakawa.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded: "Well... I understand. I don't have anything special to do today."
Her thoughts were still a bit jumbled, and she wasn't quite sure how much affection she had developed for this guy.
So I don't really feel any reluctance about staying at each other's homes.
"Okay, then Yukinoshita-nee, come and take a look at Hayate's clothes. You picked them out last time."
Shoko let out a joyful cry and quickly pulled Yukinoshita towards the room.
"Okay, Xiangzi, slow down."
29 Yukino let the other person do as they pleased, and subconsciously parted her pink lips to give a word of advice.
After regaining my senses, I was a little surprised by my own actions, but I didn't think about it any further.
Shirakawa didn't disturb them. Although he had some suspicions, he still chose to go back to his room.
Um......
It wasn't that I was doing anything sneaky; I had simply agreed to help Kitagawa Kaimu.
Since he had already promised, Shirakawa Shiki would not go back on his word.
It doesn't take much time anyway; you can do it when you have some free time. It doesn't require much effort.
......
Around noon, it was lunchtime.
Shirakawa came out of the room and noticed that the two girls were playing with Hayate, who was dressed as a pet.
Yukinoshita and Shoko were quite familiar with each other, and they would occasionally exchange a few words with light smiles.
"Shiki-kun, I'm sorry to bother you today as well."
At that moment, Gabriel walked into Shirakawa's house and gave a cute greeting.
"It's alright, Gabriel, come in."
Gabriel changed into her own pair of slippers and walked in with a cheerful yet practiced gait.
She's very familiar with this place now, so she doesn't feel like a stranger at all.
But after a while, he noticed that there were other girls present.
She quickly performed a proper greeting, her radiant smile blooming: "Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Naïve Gabriel White."
Anyone would be fond of a child with such well-behaved behavior, including Yukinoshita.
She replied politely, "Tantei-kun, my name is Yukino Yukinoshita."
Shirakawa looked at the two girls silently and chuckled, "Alright, don't bother with that. I'll go cook now. Please wait a moment."
Staring at the guy's back, Yukino frowned slightly: "How about I cook?"
