With Yukino and her father around, even if Yukino were to ask her now, Rumi's first reaction wouldn't be to launch into a long, rambling discussion.

Instead, he remained silent, seemingly unwilling to discuss Yukino's family.

Seeing the reticent look on the American-trained Jin Ren, Yukino felt somewhat helpless.

Despite her seemingly carefree and easygoing nature, she can be quite cautious when faced with certain crucial questions.

You can tell me your opinion. I'm really troubled right now and don't know whether I should listen to my dad, so I want to hear other people's opinions.

Perhaps it was because Yukino's repeated advice dispelled Rumi's concerns that the girl took some time to think before speaking hesitantly: I think.

I still have to go, after all.

That's your mom.

Speaking vaguely, even though Liu Mei expressed her meaning, she didn't use the grand theories approach; she simply stated the facts in a very simple and straightforward manner.

Somewhat bewildered, Yukino initially thought Rumi might give her a long explanation of the importance of reconciling with her mother.

As a result, this guy who studied in the US just blurted out that sentence.

More importantly, Yukino had no way to refute anything.

What could she say? That her own mother wasn't her biological mother? Yukino wasn't that extreme; she would never forget the kindness of giving birth to her and raising her.

Yukino is just being stubborn, just like how she knows her older sister used to be good to her, but she's always been too proud to admit it.

My head is throbbing. Rumi's words are undoubtedly very reasonable, but if it were that easy to repair the awkward Yukino's relationship with her mother, then Haruno wouldn't have been troubled for so long before.

Yukiman had to admit that Rumi was right.

No matter what happened before, her mother is still her mother.

Even though she lacked affection and had an expectation that shouldn't have been hers, Yukino never faced any obstacles in terms of material things or making various decisions.

Even though she was confused for a moment and got pregnant with Hachiman's child and was going to give birth to them, her mother didn't say anything. She just silently arranged many things for her daughter in her disappointment.

From the children's trust to the increased allowance, Yukino's mother demonstrated her love for her children through her actions without saying a word. In the end, Yukino fell silent and pondered quietly.

You said you were going back to your parents' home with Hachiman and the others, right?

Having made the decision, he sighed with a hint of melancholy.

Yukino remembered what Rumi had just said.

Well, after your father mentioned this, I also thought about my own situation, so... going back with Hachiman and the others for a few days should make them very happy.

Speaking in a gentle and soothing tone, Liu Mei said that the more she reflected on herself lately, the more she felt that she hadn't done well enough in many areas.

She neglected too much, both herself and her family.

Now that I've figured it out, while I still have time and opportunity, I should do my best to help others. People are not lonely beings living in the world; from birth to death, they are accompanied by the occurrence and demise of various interpersonal relationships.

Even people like Yukino and Hachiman have their own unique ways of dealing with people, right? Rumi used to live only for herself, and all her actions were aimed at achieving her own goals.

But things are different now; she can no longer make her life better or happier on her own.

Therefore, we should try our best to make ourselves happier by seeing the happiness of those around us.

Alright then, give me a call when you're ready to go back to your parents' home, and I'll take Xi Mi and Xin Tong with me.

Yukino couldn't help but feel a little envious of the increasingly better life she was living in the US, because it was a positive trend. As long as she continued to develop in this way, she could not only excel herself but also bring happiness to her family.

This kind of life is undoubtedly what many people yearn for.

However, the vast majority of people in the world cannot obtain what they desire.

Who would have thought that things would turn out this way in America? Even Yukino, an outsider, could see that the trend was gradually getting better.

Okay, I'll definitely call you in advance once I decide when I'm going back.

Rumi is currently unaware that Yukino's father already knows her identity, and she is immersed in a faint joy.

This joy arose after she felt she had helped Yukino. Ever since Rumi and Yukino's relationship became what it is now, they have often helped each other.

Indeed, many emotions arise from this.

...The relationship between Yukino and Rumi is becoming increasingly complicated, and now it's completely impossible to sort out all the messy details.

Yukino stood up abruptly, realizing that so much time had been wasted and she was already very sleepy.

Whether or not to reconcile with my mother later is a matter for later; for now, it's better to just sleep.

"I'm going to wash up some manga, do you want to come with me?" Yukino said this out of the blue, her expression completely calm.

However, Liu Mei's reaction was not so calm. The moment she heard what her friend said, the girl curled up, as if she were pitifully frightened and wailing in her heart.

Rumi knew that Yukino must have some ulterior motive, and everything she had done before was to lower her guard.

Now that Rumi has let down her guard and treats her as a true friend, Yukino immediately bared her hideous fangs.

It's unclear what this filthy beautiful girl, Rumi, is thinking. Yukino's original intention was simply to drag Rumi along to read manga.

After all, it's hard for one person to take care of every part of the body when washing alone. The speaker may not have meant anything by it, but the listener may have taken it to heart. Yukino, who has never had a sexual experience, has no idea what children these days are thinking.

She's just normal.

It was simply a question that is very common for women, asked from the perspective of a female friend.

Yukino flicked Rumi's forehead with a hint of annoyance. Seeing the girl wince in pain, Yukino couldn't help but wonder if that guy just liked this kind of thing. Glancing sideways at Rumi's pitiful appearance, Yukino really didn't know much about matters between husband and wife, so she could only speculate in her mind.

cough.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Rumi realized that Yukino wasn't Hachiman and wouldn't deliberately hide her purpose.

Yukino said that it was just a matter of washing up together, and it really was just a matter of washing up together.

The reason why Rumi reacted so strongly was entirely due to the long-term harassment from that guy Hachiman.

Every time Hachiman approached her with a wicked grin, saying he wanted to go to the bathhouse with her, Rumi knew it was time for her to suffer again.

However, being with Yukino meant there was no need to worry about something inexplicably poking into her mouth, so the girl could spend quite a while enjoying the relaxation that the hot water brought to her body.

"Um...can I take a bubble bath?" Her face showed anticipation; Liu Mei really enjoyed the feeling of bubbles stimulating her skin.

However... she rarely had the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing soak in the bath.

It wasn't just because Hachiman frequently harassed her, but also because there were other children in the family.

The bathtub at the Hikigaya family's house isn't actually that big; usually, when Hachiman and I take a bath together, we can only sit in his lap.

Therefore, she naturally couldn't be with that guy Komachi—bubbly and bubbly.

In addition, I've been engrossed in studying lately, and my daily meals and baths have all been done together. Now that I finally have a chance to rest, I naturally want to relax and have a nice soak in the US.

Hmm, I'm not sure if those things are here.

To be honest, I haven't been here very often; the last time was more than two years ago.

After racking her brains, Yukino was unsure whether there would be bath bombs in the bathroom.

You can check out the guest room's bathroom; it's more fully equipped than the master bedroom.

Of course, it's best to sleep in the master bedroom.

Yukino doesn't like sleeping alone, especially after the children left. Every night, she feels surrounded by loneliness, which is not easy for her, as she is used to the noise at home.

Therefore, having Rumi by her side is the best thing, so that Yukino can feel at ease and also feel the warmth from Rumi.

More importantly, Yukino could use this night to hold Rumi in her arms and cover her with her own scent.

When Hachiman returns from America and smells the new scent created by the mingling of those two people's scents, his feelings will surely be very complicated.

Don't blame Yukino for being scheming; blame Hachiman for making her feel uncomfortable.

Although she is older, she can still be considered a beautiful young woman no matter what.

As it turned out, after taking off her clothes, Hachiman didn't do anything. He just helped her wash up, poured her a glass of milk, and left.

How could Yukino possibly tolerate this? Even if Yukino lessened her feelings for Hachiman, it didn't mean Hachiman could ignore her allure like that.

If this had happened to any other woman, she would probably have felt sorrow and resentment after learning the whole story.

Does Nanba really mean she has no appeal at all? She doesn't even deserve to be groped.

Thinking of this, Yukino couldn't help but want to take revenge on that damned Hachiman.

But I haven't contacted him for so long, and I can't think of a good reason now.

Blindly going along with it would seem shameless, so using studying in America as a form of revenge seemed particularly suitable to Yukino.

Since you, Hachiman, possess the composure to remain unmoved even when faced with temptation, I presume that even if you smell the fragrance of another woman when you meet your wife again after a day apart, it won't disturb your enjoyment.

Of course, even if we can't punish Hachiman this time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

You should know that Yukino will be living with Rumi for many years to come. When Hachiman gets anxious and wants to vent his desires, she will also intervene.

Therefore, there will be plenty of opportunities to make Hachiman feel despair in the future. Yukino is not in a hurry at all. Rather, it would be easier if she and Hachiman no longer had any improper thoughts. In that case, Yukino would not have to worry about Rumi having any bad ideas.

She could tell Rumi everything about her revenge against Hachiman, and even get Rumi's help to accomplish things that would be difficult for her to do on her own.

Never underestimate the friendship between girls. Once they consider each other their best friends, they are happy to help each other with things like jokes that aren't too inappropriate.

Take the present moment for example; Rumi's gentle act of rubbing Yukino's back is a testament to their friendship.

Don't underestimate the act of rubbing someone's back; it actually requires a high level of skill.

It is actually quite difficult to completely remove the dust from Yukino's delicate skin without damaging it, and to leave fine red marks on her jade-like skin.

Fortunately, Rumi often helps Hachiman and Kodama with back scrubbing at home. Although she is not a skilled person, she can still grasp her power by observing Yukino's reactions.

you.

How does she maintain her figure so well? Unable to resist any longer, Rumi gently ran her slender, fair fingers across Yukino's back. The delicate touch made Rumi, who was also a girl, a little envious.

Hmm? As Rumi stroked her back with her fingers, Yukino's face flushed slightly.

Although she was a little unaccustomed to it, Yukino understood that it was difficult for girls to escape these topics.

From skin care to removing dark circles, and even achieving a fuller bust and curvy figure.

Even when it comes to the treatment of hair in private areas, as long as there is no external presence, there is almost nothing that cannot be discussed.

But... these things might be normal for girls who grow up in schools like those in Japan, but from childhood to adulthood, Yukino really didn't have any female friends with whom she could get along like that, except for Yui.

Moreover... Yui would basically never ask such a question, because when the two of them were washing clothes together, nine times out of ten it was Yukino who would stare at Yui's subtle parts with some kind of subtle gaze. Finally, she was the one being envied, and Yukino felt a little secretly pleased.

In this state of mind, Yukino made no attempt to hide anything and directly shared her skincare routine.
