Time came to the afternoon.
Lin Xi brought the club application form that had already been stamped.
He came to the club activity room he had been to before.
By the way, he also put a well-behaved cat in his bag.
How could he improve his relationship with Second Miss without bringing a cat when meeting her?
Arriving at the door.
He knocked on the door.
A girl's crisp and pleasant voice came from inside.
"What is it?"
"I'm Lin Xi, I'm here as agreed. ~"
"Come in."
Having obtained permission, Lin Xi pushed open the door and walked in.
What came into view was - probably a famous scene.
Yukinoshita Yukino, wearing a Soubu High School uniform, sat in a chair by the window, holding a book in her hand and reading.
She sat upright with her back straight.
Only two red butterfly-knot hair ties were used as decorations on her dark and shiny hair.
It was clearly just a school uniform, but when worn on Second Miss Yukinoshita, it inexplicably gave off a noble feeling.
A small face that was so cute that it was against the rules, matched with a slender figure, a pair of long and beautiful legs wrapped in black knee-high socks, she exuded a charm that attracted him.
Lin Xi's heart fluttered.
"Come in quickly, standing at the door will make you look very silly."
Lin Xi shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, closed the door, and walked over.
Without a second thought, he grabbed a chair from the stack behind him and placed it two meters away from her, plopping down into it.
Yukino Yukinoshita frowned.
"Why are you sitting so far away? And why across from me?"
Lin Xi spread his hands, saying helplessly, "Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll misunderstand and think I'm interested in you? So I'm talking to you from a distance."
Yukino Yukinoshita's cheeks flushed red.
She also thought about what happened this morning.
"I hold grudges," she said suddenly.
"Oh, I can see that. And then?"
"And then… I want to ask you something. What's your family situation? Why does my mother want me to have a good relationship with you?"
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows. "My family situation? Haven't you seen it already?"
"I live in Sakura Manor, I'm the owner of Sakura Manor, and I usually live off the rent I collect. My parents are gone."
"… … …"
"If you feel that you were forced by your family to reluctantly let me join the club, then I think I should leave."
"Wait! I didn't invite you to join the club for that reason."
"Then what's the reason? What you said this morning gives me reason to suspect that Yukinoshita-san dislikes me."
Hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't sit still.
She stood up and gave him a deep bow.
"What I said this morning was wrong, I apologize to you."
"But, you slandered a girl's shoes for being smelly, I think it's normal that I couldn't control my emotions, right?"
Lin Xi's lips curved into a smile. "So, you were angry because of that? Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curiously asking."
"After all, I really can't figure out how cute you have to be to have dogs chasing after your indoor slippers."
Yukino Yukinoshita sighed.
"A classmate put dog food in my indoor slippers."
"So, because you've been targeted before, Yukinoshita-san thought I was approaching you to harm you?"
"Not really… I'm just not good at communicating with others, or rather, I can't tell which are jokes."
Looking at her earnest explanation, Lin Xi suddenly laughed.
"Then, Yukinoshita, suddenly stuffing a note into my hand, asking me to come to the club activity room, and then having Jing-sensei come forward to let me join the club, what kind of relationship do you want to develop with me?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's cheeks were burning hot, and she was a little embarrassed.
But since she did it.
She wouldn't deny it.
"I just think you were too rough with the cat, so as a classmate, I have a duty to guide you on the correct way to raise a cat."
"Since that's the case, let's go then. You hold the cat."
He took the cat out of his bag and stuffed it into her arms.
Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes widened.
You attracted the cat to school again?
This constitution is too enviable!
So, Yukino Yukinoshita, who came to Sakura Manor again, was immersed in the joy of petting the cat.
She didn't even have time to explain the meaning of her club activities and the name of the club to Lin Xi.
But who cares?
Lin Xi didn't mention anything about wanting to be friends with her.
Anyway, he just brought Yukino home to pet the cat.
She was happy.
Looking at her happy appearance, he also felt happy.
Anyway, it's impossible for him to stay stupidly at school, it's better to go home.
In the future, let's temporarily get along as club members.
Hehe.
When Yukino becomes his sister-in-law, he'll have plenty of tricks.
When Shiina Mahiru came back, she saw Yukino Yukinoshita and also joined the ranks of petting the cat.
Mahiru knew that Yukino was Y So's younger sister, so she was also very curious about her.
The angel-sama's affinity once again came into play.
The two beautiful girls presented a scene of chatting happily.
As expected.
Mahiru is more reliable and suitable to be a wife.
As for Yukino.
Her awkward appearance is more suitable to be a lover.
After all, Yukino still needs to be coaxed.
Mahiru, on the other hand, will gently coax him.
Ah, I can't take it anymore.
He's so moved.
He must reward the lovely angel-sama well tonight.
Sitting under the cherry blossom tree, the two beautiful girls each held a cat, revealing smiles.
The scene looked really beautiful.
"This place is really beautiful," Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes, after all, it's called Sakura Manor."
"There are so many cats too, it feels like it could be renamed Cat House."
Shiina Mahiru replied with a smile, carefully looking at Yukino Yukinoshita.
"Yukinoshita-san, I heard that Lin Xi joined your club?"
"Yes…" Yukino Yukinoshita immediately became nervous. "Shiina-san, don't misunderstand, I invited him to join, just because…"
"Just want him to take good care of the cats?"
Shiina Mahiru looked at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"That's a somewhat strange reason."
"But don't worry, I won't misunderstand. It's normal for you to be worried."
"Although Lin Xi is liked by cats, he doesn't like cats running around in the room, it sheds too much cat hair."
"So, Yukinoshita, you have to come over often to take care of the cats in the future, otherwise, I really don't know what he will raise the cats into."
Hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita showed a serious expression.
"I will!"
"I can't let him raise the cats into stray cats."
Shiina Mahiru smiled without saying a word.
Yukinoshita-san, you've already fallen into the trap.
Although Shiina Mahiru knew Lin Xi's thoughts, she wouldn't expose them.
After all, she quite admired such a beautiful girl who was as excellent as her.
Since Lin Xi liked Yukino, she would help, and let Yukino get on the boat too.
Time gradually passed.
Although Yukino Yukinoshita was a little reluctant, she still had to leave.
Lin Xi still offered to send her off.
The Second Young Miss didn't refuse.
Walking on the road near Sakura Manor again, both of them felt a little complicated.
"Hey, Lin Xi-san, what you said about seeing me often in the future, what exactly is that about?"
Yukino Yukinoshita finally couldn't help but ask.
"Don't you know? The Yukinoshita family intends to recruit me as a son-in-law. At the end of this month, we will officially meet to finalize the engagement."
"Ah? An… engagement? With whom?"
Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth wide, looking at him in disbelief.
Lin Xi sized her up and down a few times, revealing a mischievous smile.
"The Yukinoshita family only has two daughters."
"Who do you think is engaged to me?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's face turned pale.
Then it could only be her, the Second Young Miss.
Her older sister was going to inherit the Yukinoshita family, and her future husband definitely couldn't lose to the young master of a Yukinoshita family-level conglomerate.
Only she, the Second Young Miss who had been inferior to her older sister since she was young, would be used to recruit a son-in-law.
Is Mother angry, so she plans to set up an engagement for the rebellious me?
Looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's face, Lin Xi understood that she had misunderstood.
But he just wouldn't explain.
Who told the Second Young Miss to talk to him like that this morning?
It's good to let her panic for a while.
"Let's go, Yukinoshita-san."
"… …"
Looking at his back, Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lip. "That, are you willing to be a live-in son-in-law of the Yukinoshita family?"
The girl was a little flushed, her eyes fixed on him.
At the thought of being engaged to him, she felt sad, but also had an indescribable complicated feeling.
She inexplicably wanted to know what this person thought of her.
"I'm willing, why not? The Yukinoshita family is a wealthy family, and the young ladies of the Yukinoshita family are not only beautiful, but also so excellent."
"I, a loser with only a Sakura Manor, am naturally willing to be a live-in son-in-law and enjoy a life of lying flat."
"No ambition!"
Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but retort.
Lin Xi revealed a mischievous smile and sized her up again.
"I think I'm still very excellent, otherwise your mother wouldn't have this idea."
Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lip and said seriously, "But, what about Shiina-san if I… if you get engaged?"
"Mahiru and I aren't dating, so getting engaged is completely fine, and dating and getting engaged don't conflict."
What kind of scumbag remarks are these?
Yukino Yukinoshita was amused by him.
"I will not agree to the engagement."
"Oh, your disagreement is useless."
Lin Xi replied without any politeness.
My engagement with Onee-san Yang Nai, your disagreement is useless?
Misunderstanding that Lin Xi was going to be engaged to her, Yukinoshita Yukino glared at him through gritted teeth.
"Can't you have some ambition?"
"I am ambitious. Currently, I am cooperating with Senior to open an animation game studio. Madam Yukinoshita probably values my potential and wants me to be her son-in-law."
"Nonsense!"
Yukinoshita Yukino didn't believe it at all.
An animation game studio is enough to make a chaebol controller, her own mother, look at him differently and send her daughter out?
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you can ask yourself. I'm the one being asked to be a son-in-law."
Yukinoshita Yukino was speechless.
Thinking of her domineering mother, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
She knew very well.
If it was her mother's decision, she could only marry Lin Xi.
It can only be said.
This is a wonderful misunderstanding.
As long as no one reveals it.
Within this month, Yukinoshita Yukino will think that she is about to be Lin Xi's fiancée.
In this way, although she is unwilling, she will default to this identity in her heart, and invisibly narrow the relationship between them.
Lin Xi's routine is simply perfect.
Yukinoshita Yukino has fallen into entanglement.
Thinking that she is going to be Lin Xi's fiancée and cannot refuse, she feels very sad.
Does Mother even want to interfere with her marriage?
Compared to my sister, am I so bad and so insignificant?
