Minami Yuki gave some of the meat in her lunch box to Chiju Kazumi and Ibuki Yuko.
Chizumi felt mixed emotions biting into the meat cooked by her rival, and she felt even more frustrated when she found that the meat tasted better than her own.
In comparison, Ibuki Yuko was much more calm. Her cooking skills were slightly inferior to those of Chiju Kazumi. Facing the fried meat made by Nao Asano, which was much better than hers, she did not feel any sense of crisis.
Whether the food is delicious or not is not the point, the point is whether Yuxi likes it or not. In the dream, Yuxi did not show any preference for food. In other words, the card of good cooking skills is at most a three or a four, which is the smallest category. It is like the broken one and nine in mahjong. It seems to be a win, but in fact the winning is very limited.
She even wondered if she would be able to go to Asano's house for dinner after she and Yuuki confirmed their relationship.
She had no interest in cooking. Instead of spending time buying groceries and cooking, she would rather stay with Yuxi for a while longer.
This is a matter for the future. What urgently need to be resolved now are two things.
It’s the same photo, which she will ask about later. In comparison, another matter is more urgent, which is a problem that has been puzzling her recently.
In the summer vacation in the dream, Yuki faced the truck and chose to stand still. After being rescued by her, he wandered around dangerous places many times. She in the dream and her previous reality believed that the boy had a world-weary mind.
However, in her recent observations, she could not detect any gloomy aura lingering around the boy.
"What does Yuuki think about your life now?" she asked directly.
Nan Youxi was stunned. He quickly thought of his actions in the dream movie and understood why Xizi asked this question.
He thought that it was necessary to make this overly proactive girl realize the difference between dreams and reality and prepare herself mentally.
"I'm very satisfied." He said, "I've become friends with Nao-san and Kazumi recently, and I'm very happy every day."
Qian Shouyimei was embarrassed and lowered her head.
"Really?" Ibuki Yuko continued to ask.
"Really? Why do you ask this, Ibuki-senpai?" Minami Yuxi pretended to be confused.
"I think you're not happy enough." The girl straightened her back, patted her chest which was rising and falling slightly, and said something very bold with an expressionless face, "After becoming friends with me, you will be more satisfied with your life."
Her heart was in turmoil.
As expected, Youxi did not have any thoughts of being disgusted with the world. In his dreams, he was just acting!
Yuko Ibuki didn't mind the fact that Minami Yuki would lie to her about acting in the future. On the contrary, after she confirmed that the boy was acting, she felt a broad sense of happiness in her heart.
With a little deduction, we can know that Yuuki acted to get closer to her. Is there anything better than this to prove the boy's love for her? For her, the boy who is a Yang character does not hesitate to pretend to be a Yin character!
How could Ibuki Yuko not feel happy when she knew about this secret love
She confirmed once again that she had a great chance of winning! Yuxi treated her normally on the surface, but he actually liked her very much!
"Is this really a subtle way to ask for friendship?" Nan Youxi continued her previous sentence, "Well, please give me your guidance in the future, Ibuki-senpai."
"Just call me Yuko." Ibuki Yuko paused, turned her head and looked at Chishou Kazumi, "Kazumi too."
Chishou Kazumi nodded. Nan Youxi's words just now diluted the sorrow in her heart and gave her courage again.
She thought that at the beginning of the semester, she was not prepared to confess to Yuki, nor was she prepared to contact the boy. She just wanted to watch him silently. After seeing him take out the ambiguous lunch box, she was impulsive and decided to confess. When she confessed, she also did not expect success, but was waiting for failure.
Now, she and Yuuki have become friends, which is a huge step towards becoming a teenager and something she couldn't have imagined a few weeks ago. She should have been immersed in this dreamy happiness, so why is she even more uneasy
She reflected that it was greed that was at work, and that greed was insatiable. If she allowed it to grow, she would never be able to find happiness in her heart.
So, she tried hard to put aside this desire, and when she looked at Minami Yuxi and Ibuki Yuko again, she didn't feel so bad anymore.
She thought again that when she was in junior high school, she admired senior Ibuki who did her own thing, and for a while she wanted to be friends with her. Now, her wish has come true, and she should gain double happiness.
She should even feel happy breathing!
But is it really so
The operation of rationality can never interfere with the growth of emotions. Rationality can only suppress them but cannot change them. Rather, it is said that emotions grow with the nourishment of rationality. Rationality can give her reasons to worry less or reasons to worry more. It can be said that if you are not anxious or sad, you will stagnate, be satisfied with the present, and miss the possibility of reaching a future with more happiness.
Reason has no innate bias; it is just a mass of nutrition. Only when emotions require it will it be transformed into power through complex procedures, injected into emotional actions, and give emotions a logical armor.
Chishou Ichimi thought that the desire she had just had, which should be satisfied, might just be a timid emotion that drew nourishment from her rationality.
When her mind was in a mess, Ibuki Yuko brought up a new topic and diverted her attention.
Ibuki Yuko said, "Is the photo in Yuki's house a student from Lillian Academy?"
The distracting thoughts in Chishou Kazumi's mind suddenly disappeared. She glanced at Minami Youxi's cheek and listened carefully.
"Yes and no." Nan Youxi replied.
"I'm curious." Ibuki Yuko took small steps closer, hoping to get more information from Minami Yuki.
"It's a secret." Nan Youxi was unable to reveal the news and simply refused to answer.
He wanted to end the topic, but suddenly thought of two things.
One thing is about Asagiri Mayu's mother. Asagiri Mayu looks like her mother. Based on the calculation that she gave birth in her twenties, her mother should be in elementary school now.
Another thing is about Yuko Ibuki. The girl showed great initiative in many life simulations.
The combination of these two things gave him some bad thoughts.
"Does Senior Yuko know the girl in the photo?" he asked tactfully.
In fact, what he was thinking was, could it be that Ibuki Yuko had already found Asagiri Mayu's mother
"No..." Chishou Kazumi was about to answer, saying that they had discussed it yesterday and that they didn't know the girl in the photo.
"Yeah!" Ibuki Yuko interrupted her.
"Huh?" Chishou Kazumi was stunned.
Minami Yuxi was stunned. Her guess turned out to be true. Ibuki Yuko really found Asagiri Mayu's mother!
"What's your last name?" He looked at the girl.
"Asagiri."
"What's your grade?"
"First grade."
Huh? Nan Youxi thought, how could he be in the first year of high school
If she was in the first year of high school, wouldn't she be the same age as him? There was a thirty-year age difference between him and Moyu, and Moyu's mother was thirty when she gave birth to Moyu
Although the average childbearing age for Japanese women is about 30 years old, judging from the social class of Mayu's mother in The Sims, it should be earlier than the average.
"Can I see the photos?" Nan Youxi was curious.
He did not ask Ibuki Yuko if she had any photos. The girl must have been identified as a suspect through the photos.
His reaction confused Ibuki Yuko, and the girl took out her cell phone and opened the picture saved from the Internet.
Minami Yuuki and Chiju Kazumi looked at the photo together.
Minami Yuki looked at the faces in the group photo, and Ibuki Yuko pointed to the corner: "This."
After looking at the girl in the corner, Nan Youxi touched his chin and said, "She does look alike. What's her name?"
"…?"
Ibuki Yuko tilted her head, a rare look of confusion on her expressionless face.
Why are you asking me back
"Asagiri Mitsuki," she answered.
"What about school?"
"My junior high school is Tachibana Academy. People usually go directly to that school, so my high school is probably also Tachibana Academy."
"Well done, Senior Yuko!"
Nan Youxi patted her shoulder and encouraged her.
Looking at the boy's excitement, Ibuki Yuko felt confused and realized that she seemed to have done something wrong.
