My youth love story is really a fake

Chapter 26 Second Watch

"Are you planning to stop?"

Yukinoshita fiddled with the champagne flute in his hand, and asked Kawasaki.

Even so, Kawasaki is still calm and calm.

"Ah? No... Well, if you can't do it here, you can just switch to another one."

Kawasaki wiped the glass neatly, and expressed his thoughts readily.Of course, Yukinoshita's attitude became sharper with a nonchalant look.

Facing the sinister atmosphere showing his sharpness, Yuigahama carefully interjected: "Well, that... Kawasaki-san, why do you have to work part-time like this? Oh--I sometimes work part-time when I have no money, but I don't To the point where you have to falsely report your age and work at night."

"It's nothing, I just need money."

Kawasaki glared at Chihiro, signaling not to be troublesome.Then, with just a perfunctory sentence, he started to tidy up again.

Living in this society, money is basically an indispensable thing.However, students who have not really faced this problem will still be somewhat negligent when they mention it.

"Ah... well, this is understandable."

Stimulated by Hikiya's nonchalant tone, Kawasaki's expression became even stiffer.

"How does a guy who can write scribbles on a volunteer form know? Who said 'come out and work and you lose'?"

Speaking of which, I did hear Xiaojing's similar lessons in the office before.

"Have you heard..."

Hikigu Hachiman's persistence in life is not something ordinary people can understand.Of course, in the same way, he did not stand up to the society to say these words.

In today's mechanical society, everyone is meshing like a gear.Even so, solitude is allowed—as long as you have the means, ability, and physical strength.

Even Yukinoshita has not fully achieved it, so Hikigu's life choice is just a temporary choice in the long journey of life.

Boy Hachiman's troubles?

"Don't underestimate life..." Kawasaki sighed and leaned against the wall, throwing Ayumi who had wiped the wine bottle in the counter casually, "I didn't come here to make money for fun, don't treat me like that like an idiot."

Kawasaki's staring eyes were not pure, but the strong and complicated look that he had after entering the society.

Just like bones become stronger after being broken, the so-called strength is a habit after uncovering scars again and again.

I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to be understood, I don't want to be pitiful, I always look around by myself, like a wounded wolf.

It seems to say "No one understands me!".

Those who would say such words are thinking in their hearts, "No matter who you are, please listen to me, please understand me, please care for me, please love me..."

For Kawasaki who persisted like this alone, Chihiro could only quietly accompany her by the side, and there was no way to take a step closer.

Of course, everyone has their own resilience.

For Yukinoshita Yukino, she has not been understood, nor will she give up and lament.Because of her belief, she has carried out her persistence.Persevere in yourself and be strong.

For Yubihama, she never gives up, nor does she run away.Her constant prayers, even if only a few words, will change after continuous communication.

"Yeah... But, there are things that you don't know if you don't say it? Maybe there might be something that can help.... It's easy to just say it, and..."

Yuigahama, who wanted to get closer, was cut off by Kawasaki's cold stare.

"Even if I tell you, you will never understand. Can you help me? Can it be easy? Speaking of such light words... Then, you guys, can you prepare money for me? Can you replace things that my parents can't afford? Will they fix it for me?"

"That, that..."

Probably due to the difference in consciousness, Yuigahama, who was being pressed by Kawasaki every step of the way, was already hesitating a bit.

"Please stop talking like this. If you keep barking..."

"Under the snow..."

Xue Xia's icy voice interjected, but was interrupted by Qian Jian's reaching out.It's just that the truncated words sounded more threatening.

What else?

Facing the possible threat, Kawasaki flinched for a moment.Xiao smacked his lips, turned around and completely faced Yukinoshita next to Yuigahama.

"Let me tell you, your father is a member of the county council, right? A well-fed and proud girl like you can't understand my situation..."

Kawasaki's murmur was like giving up something, and there was a slight sigh of indifference in his tone.

"Shahi!"

Qian Jian could probably guess some of the situation under the snow.Just because she is the second lady of Yukinoshita's family, but she lives alone and moved out alone, one can know that the situation of Yukino and her family is not good.

Sure enough, as soon as Kawasaki said this, there was a rattling sound of a glass overturning.

Perrier quickly spread out of the overturned champagne glass.Yukinoshita bit her lip tightly, her gaze fixed on the bar counter.

Feeling the pressure on the grasped wrist, Yukinoshita slowly returned to the usual... more icy expression than usual.

Withdrawing his hand, he calmly wiped the table with a towel, and Yukinoshita just dealt with the problem calmly as always.

At this time, there was a sound of "slapping" on the table.

"Wait! It's not about Xiaoxue's family now!"

From Yuigahama's mouth, he spoke with a rare strong tone.Not kidding, Yuigahama, who was staring at Kawasaki seriously, got angry.

Yuigahama, who was usually able to laugh it off at any time, now had a rare serious expression.

"Then," Kawasaki's voice slowly sank, "it's none of my business, right?"

The person who asked for help was not Kawasaki Saki, so if he was said so, that would be the end of it.

"That's the truth...but Xiaoxue—"

"Please calm down, Yuigahama-san," Yukinoshita gently persuaded Yuigahama, who had already leaned into the bar, with a clear voice as if mixed with frost, "It's just knocking over the glass, it's okay, please don't care."

The atmosphere has completely cooled down, along with the temperature.

"Let's go back today. I'm sleepy. I'll leave after drinking this"

Hikigu suggested that there were few calm people present.

"You..."

"Well, well. Xiaoxue, shall we go back today?"

Yukinoshita sighed in surprise, what he wanted to say at first, but he didn't say it in the end.Yuigahama and Hikigaya met eyes and nodded slightly.

"...Yes, let's go back today."

Yukinoshita followed the advice of the two of them, quietly put several banknotes on the counter without confirming the invoice, and stood up.Yuigahama followed Yukinoshita and stood up from the chair.

"...Kawasaki, just now was too much. Yukinoshita also—"

Chihiro also stood up and looked at Kawasaki Saki.The impulsive words just now are not what the usual Kawasaki would say.

Kawasaki, who had given up everything, simply chuckled and said.

"What, you haven't been doing well yet, and you're starting to protect your family?"

Chapter 27 Three Watches in the Middle of the Night, Three Watches Secretly

(Well, in fact, three is twelve o'clock, but at that time, it will not be counted according to today~)

"It's not going well yet, and you're starting to protect your family?"

Kawasaki's voice was not loud, but the few people near the bar could hear it clearly.

"My family?"

Hikigu, who also hadn't left the bar, repeated it strangely, obviously not realizing who has anything to do with whom.

"You said... Xiaoxue and... Kinoshita-kun?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Seeing that Yuigahama was also fixed in place, Yukinoshita also turned around and questioned.

However, Kawasaki was not talking about Chihiro and Yukino.It was another lady surnamed Yukinoshita that I had met here twice before.

"That's a matter on the other side—it has nothing to do with Yukinoshita."

Glancing at Kawasaki, who lowered his head and silently cleaned up the mess on the table, Chihiro explained to several people.

"but……"

"Okay," Chihiro quickly interrupted Yuigahama's words, "here will cause trouble for others."

Glancing at the cash that Yukinoshita had pressed on the table, Qian Jian took out a few more cash from her wallet and put them on top.

"Kawasaki, your feet are not sharp yet, so don't be too aggressive today."

"...I want you to manage..."

"Ugh……"

Walking two steps forward, I happened to see Yukinoshita standing there with her lips tightly pursed and her arms folded.

"Do you think it's okay?"

Yukino coldly called out to those who passed by, "Chiyo Kinoshita."

"I'll explain this to you, Yukinoshita..."

"Xiaoxue..."

Yuigahama looked at Yukinoshita with some worry, and at Chihiro with some bewilderment.

"Yuigahama, I'll send you an email later."

Kawasaki, Yukinoshita and Kinoshita are the parties involved, and Yuigahama is in a state of worrying about Yukinoshita again.As the only person present who could barely stay out of the matter, Hachiman stood up and reluctantly began to arrange.

Hikiya who came from behind spoke to Yuigahama, then turned back to the bar and spoke to Kawasaki.

"Kawasaki. Give me the time tomorrow morning. McDonald's on the street at 05:30. Is that okay?"

The matter here is no longer something anyone present can handle.Well, let's all separate and calm down.

"Huh? Why!"

"For a while, I want to talk about Dazhi."

"……what?"

"That's tomorrow's talk—bye"

Turning around chicly, Hikigaya left first with a sense of magnificence that suited this store.

"It's getting late, I'll take you back."

Because Yuigahama wanted to change back into her own clothes, she followed Yukinoshita and Chihiro back to the apartment.

Along the way, the three of them didn't say anything.

"...That...Kinoshita-kun, today—thank you."

Yuigahama secretly took a look at Yukinoshita, and expressed his thanks to Chiyo in embarrassment.

"Then, I'm going back too—"

For the rest, just wait for the two of us to find Yukinoshita and explain it clearly.

With such a decision, Chihiro turned around and wanted to find a place to have a cup of coffee until Yuigahama came home.

It's already past eleven o'clock, and Yubihama probably won't...it's past eleven o'clock?

Qian Jian glanced at the watch on her wrist, and at the same time, stood under the snow on the other side and spoke softly.

"It's too dangerous to walk at night at this time, Yubihama-san should be wronged by me for a while."

"Eh?! Is it okay, Xiaoxue!"

As if Yukinoshita's words had nothing to do with her, Qianjian continued to walk slowly along the main road.

"What are you still pretending over there?"

"Xiaoxue, what do you mean by that?"

"Is it okay, Yuigahama-san is still there?"

"It's not something that can't be explained clearly," Yukinoshita put her hands on and looked at Qianjian, "Besides, it's my approach to face the problem and solve it head-on. What's more, it's just a tea party..."
