Chapter 79: 21 Yukinoshita Family
"Hey, Shizu-nee, long time no see. I didn't expect you to have a boyfriend. I was shocked when I heard the news." The elder sister of the pair of sisters greeted Shizuka Hiratsuka very casually, even with a little teasing.
"Humph, I can't have a boyfriend?" Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"Of course I can, but after all, Shizu-nee, you are so--um, special, I feel that it's not easy for you to find a boyfriend. Well, he looks okay, and has a good temperament." The elder sister looked at Hasegawa, up and down, carefully, almost like a scanning machine, which made Hasegawa feel particularly awkward.
"Okay, don't look at him with such impolite eyes. Be careful that you will be regarded as a pervert." Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help saying.
"Okay, okay. I get it. Tsk, tsk, Shizu-nee, I didn't expect you to like old cows eating young grass. I'm Yukinoshita Haruno, Shizu-nee's cousin. This is my sister, Yukinoshita Yukino." Yukinoshita Haruno introduced herself with a smile, and also pulled her sister.
(AU, Hiratsuka and Yukinoshita are relatives.)
"You guy, what do you mean by old cow eating young grass? I'm not old. Not old at all. Humph. Kenichi, be careful of Haruno, don't look at her smiling face, smiling all day long, in fact, she is a bad-hearted guy, be careful to be tricked by her." Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a hum.
However, it can be seen that Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yukinoshita Haruno have a good relationship, otherwise they would not tease each other like this when they meet.
"Hello." Hasegawa greeted Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukinoshita Yukino quietly with a smile on his face.
"Hello." Compared with her sister, Yukinoshita Yukino was much quieter, and even looked expressionless. She greeted Hasegawa very calmly.
But Hasegawa always felt that the way Yukinoshita Yukino looked at him seemed a little strange.
Hasegawa felt a little strange. Could it be that Yukinoshita Yukino saw through some flaws in him? It shouldn't be, after all, Yukinoshita Yukino is just a sixteen-year-old girl, with little experience, and should not be able to see through his disguise.
Of course, all of this is Hasegawa's inner thoughts, and he did not show any abnormality on the surface. And Hasegawa is only disguising himself for the last time, and there will be no more after that, so even if Yukinoshita Yukino sees through something, it doesn't matter.
"Hasegawa Kenichi, can I call you Kenichi like Shizu-nee?" Yukinoshita Haruno said to Hasegawa with a smile.
"Of course, Miss Yukinoshita." Hasegawa nodded politely.
"Well, since you are Shizu-nee's boyfriend, you can just call me Haruno. Miss Yukinoshita is a bit too unfamiliar. Shizu-nee and I have a super good relationship." Yukinoshita Haruno still smiled.
"Hmm--" Hasegawa subconsciously glanced at Shizuka Hiratsuka.
"Since Haruno asked you to call her that, then you can call her Haruno. After all, they are two sisters, and it is inevitable that you will be a little confused when you call Miss Yukinoshita. Yukino. Can Kenichi also call you by your name directly?" Shizuka Hiratsuka said carelessly.
"Well, if he is your boyfriend, Shizu-nee, it doesn't matter." Yukinoshita Yukino nodded calmly, but Hasegawa always felt that Yukinoshita's eyes were a little strange.
"Hey, Kenichi, can you tell me how you and Shizu-nee met?" Yukinoshita Haruno looked curious.
"Actually, it was a coincidence. At that time, it should be considered a hero's rescue - no, it should be a beauty who saved an ordinary person like me." Hasegawa said shyly.
"Oh? Can you tell me about the situation at that time?" Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes seemed to be shining, and she looked very curious.
Yukinoshita Yukino on the side also pricked up her ears.
"At that time, I had just graduated from college, and then..." Hasegawa repeated the lie he had made up before.
"So that's how it is, tut tut tut. Shizu-nee, you are really amazing. You saved a person and he became your boyfriend directly." Yukinoshita Haruno gave a thumbs up to Shizuka Hiratsuka.
"Well, it's just a coincidence. I didn't expect things to turn out like this, haha, hahaha." Shizuka Hiratsuka laughed, but the smile was still a little forced.
Next, Yukinoshita Haruno began to ask all kinds of questions, such as who pursued whom, what they had done, how far their relationship had developed, etc., as if she was particularly curious about why Hasegawa became Shizuka Hiratsuka's boyfriend.
Hasegawa answered all of Yukinoshita Haruno's questions with a smile on his face. From beginning to end, it seemed that everything was very reasonable, as if things were developing in this way, and everything was so natural.
But even so, when Yukinoshita Haruno's questions were over, Hasegawa couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This Yukinoshita Haruno was a little too curious. If he hadn't been prepared to deal with various questions, he might have been exposed.
After asking those questions, Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to still be a little reluctant. Seeing this, Shizuka Hiratsuka hurriedly pulled Hasegawa away. In this way, Hasegawa was temporarily relieved.
It was only after Hiratsuka Shizuka took Hasegawa away that Yukinoshita Haruno's expression changed. Although she still had that smile, she gave people a different feeling.
"Hey, sister." Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong, Yukino?" Yukinoshita Haruno looked back at Yukinoshita Yukino.
"Sister, don't you think that Hasegawa Kenichi is a little, weird?" Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes changed slightly.
"Weird? It's a little weird indeed. After all, although I don't want to say anything behind her back, you know Shizu-nee's personality. She has been dating for so long, and she has never succeeded once. Now she suddenly has a boyfriend, and it's even that guy who actively pursued Shizu-nee? It's weird if there's nothing weird about it. I always feel that guy may not be so sincere to Shizu-nee. Maybe, that guy may have inquired about Shizu-nee's family background a long time ago. That's why he approached Shizu-nee." Yukinoshita Haruno said with narrowed eyes.
"Well, that's not what I meant." Yukino Yukinoshita was a little stunned.
"Don't worry, it's possible that I guessed wrong."
