Yukinoshita Haruno feels that her ambition and desire for control are enough to dominate the development of the Yukinoshita family. If new people get involved, it will definitely affect her thinking.
"Rin is one of our own. He is smart enough and doesn't have too much ambition. He is also the man I like. Is mother going to disappoint me because of our relationship?" Yang No grabbed her mother's arm and shook it, rarely showing the attitude of a daughter.
Mrs. Yukinoshita stroked her forehead and felt a little moved by what she said, especially when she thought about adding strangers to this family in the future. She did feel uncomfortable.
"...One last question, did you have anything to do with Xiao Lin's departure? And how did he become your boyfriend again?"
Chapter 104 I'm Not a Child Anymore
"These are not important." Yang Nai hugged her mother's arm and acted coquettishly to her. Under her stern gaze, she whispered, "It does have something to do with me, but he's back."
"I hope you can use your methods on your opponents instead of your family members. Take Xiaoxue for example. She must have moved out because of something you said."
The lady touched Yang No's head, with a gentle yet stern tone. Although Yukino's independence was the outcome she wanted to see, this elder sister's methods of doing things were too diverse.
It’s okay to do this to outsiders, but you should still maintain basic relationships with your family.
"It will never happen again."
Looking at her brilliant smile, even though she knew she was most likely just trying to please her, Mrs. Yukinoshita could only reluctantly let go of her and prepare to go downstairs.
"Actually, I didn't intend to continue doing anything. I just had to take good care of my younger brother from now on." Yang Nai explained herself with a smile.
"That depends on your own ability. I'm actually quite curious as to why he agreed to you. The relationship between you two wasn't very good in the beginning."
Yang Nai smiled without saying anything. Was she going to tell him about how she used all the kindness her mother left behind to blackmail her younger brother?
She felt that if she was discovered, she would become the target of liquidation.
"……Aunt."
Natsume, who was eating absent-mindedly, watched his aunt and Yang No come down. The smiles on their faces made his heart sink.
It shouldn't be so easy to accept such a reality, right?
Although this kind of thing does not violate the laws of the island country, as an aunt who has watched them grow up, I must feel a little confused.
"I heard what Yang No told me." Sitting back in her seat, Aunt Yukinoshita looked at him: "Are you guys in a free love relationship?"
Does it have anything to do with freedom?
Yukinoshita Haruno first suppressed him with kindness, then used the name of his girlfriend to order him around, and in the end she even used the most despicable physical temptation.
Lately, she no longer has the fierce aura of a young lady like before, but her cuddly, true girlfriend look is too much for Natsume Rin to bear.
If you are annoying, just keep doing it. Halfway through being annoying, you suddenly tell me that my previous behavior was just a trick to get your attention, and now I have to be gentle with you.
Are they treating him like a fool?
Yang No looked at him gently and spoke for Natsume Rin.
"Not."
"But didn't my mother teach me that as long as the goal can be achieved, any process and means are understandable."
Seeing the relieved expression on her aunt's face when she nodded in agreement made Natsume Rin even more depressed. The education in the Yukinoshita family was really terrible. Only Yukino, who was squeezed out of the ranks of heirs early and could only learn various talents, could still maintain her childlike innocence.
"Auntie, this is unfair to me." Natsume Rin knocked on the table.
Since Yang Nai has exposed the truth, he has to express something different to his aunt.
"Mothers are selfish after all, and your sister has no flaws from her temper to her appearance. Even if Rin is unwilling, try to spend more time with her and give her a chance to perform." Mrs. Yukinoshita blinked her eyes and coaxed Natsume Rin in a tone like coaxing a child.
"Auntie, I'm not a child anymore." Natsume Rin repeated this fact in a calm tone.
"Of course I know." Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at him strangely, "Although I don't object to you, it's too fast to have sex before marriage."
"..."
"Stay here tonight and don't do anything bad."
Auntie's smile was exceptionally kind. Yang No covered her face with her hands, and Natsume Rin looked up at the ceiling, feeling that this world was simply too terrible.
……
The next day, there was a strong wind.
The typhoon that Tokyo TV has been promoting for a long time has finally arrived in Tokyo.
Natsume Rin held an umbrella and left the Yukinoshita house firmly and resolutely despite her aunt's attempts to keep her.
But when he was leaving the house, he held his waist awkwardly and glared at Yang Nai with hatred.
"It's going to rain." The wife stood in front of the door and watched Natsume Rin leave.
"Ah."
“I don’t know how long it will rain, but if he lives here alone, he probably won’t prepare much.” As an experienced wife, she immediately thought of details that girls would not pay attention to.
"Then why didn't you remind him just now?" Yang Nai looked at her mother.
"Isn't this a chance for you to show your abilities?" She patted Yang Noi's shoulder meaningfully.
It seems that when it comes to how to subtly increase boys' favorability, Yang Noi is still no match for the wife.
She muttered to herself that it would be better to let the idiot starve for a few days, but when she went back, she still planned to take out her cell phone to inform him not to be careless.
"Tick tock..."
"Bang..."
It's just that the weather in Tokyo, like a woman's mood, always changes suddenly before Natsume Rin can react. He just rushed into the house in the dripping rain, and the sky outside suddenly became gloomy.
After looking around the refrigerator which was empty, he picked up his umbrella and prepared to go out to buy something when Yang Nai's message came in time.
You really are a slow-moving sir.
Natsume Rin looked at her caring words, then looked at the heavy rain outside, afraid that the rain would get heavier, so she didn't bother to say anything more.
When I rushed out of the community, my umbrella was smashed to pieces. The convenience store at the door that claimed to be open 24 hours a day had already closed its door, and the glass outside was covered with tape.
It seemed that he was the only one in Tokyo who had not received a typhoon warning.
Natsume Rin gritted her teeth. The screen of her mobile phone was already covered with raindrops, and the message box lit up clearly.
It was a message sent to him by Mahiru.
At this time, Natsume Rin couldn't reply. His next target was a large supermarket a few hundred meters away from here, hoping to get good news there.
One of the ribs of the umbrella was blown crooked, and pedestrians on the road could not see the road clearly. Even cars had to drive cautiously.
When he was soaked all over, he finally saw the supermarket.
Thank goodness it's still open.
Leaving the heavy rain and standing on the wet ground, the waiters inside also looked panicked, but Natsume was not the only one who came here to buy.
He hurried to the fast food area, but his most common bento was no longer available, and even the instant noodles were only left with flavors he didn't usually like.
At this time, he no longer had the money to be picky. Seeing that there were still people rushing over here, he quickly packed up all the remaining instant noodles.
While he went to pay the bill, the waiters took off their work clothes one after another, looked at the weather outside cautiously, and waited for someone to come and pick them up.
Ah, he felt that he should stay at the Yukinoshita family. Although his health might not be saved, at least his life would not be as miserable as it is now.
Chapter 105 Typhoon Day
[Natsume, I can't go back today. Are you okay? ]
Natsume Rin took off her wet shirt and looked at the food she had bought with regret after reading the message from Mahiru.
He originally thought that since Mahiru was there, he could rely on these ingredients to survive even if the instant noodles were not enough, but who would have thought that the other party would actually stay at home.
[No problem, at least I still have a few packets of instant noodles. ]
After sending the message with a crying and laughing emoticon, Mahiru quickly replied.
[So pitiful (dumb)]
[There are quite a few things in my refrigerator, but you don’t have the key. ]
Damn it, if you knew you didn’t have the key, why did you bother to bring it up?
Natsume Rin changed into dry clothes and squatted on the ground to pick up the food she had managed to snatch.
Mahiru called, and Natsume Rin was muttering about the food she had taken while listening to her complaining on the other side.
"Four boxes of instant noodles. If the rain doesn't last long, it should be enough to last."
"That stuff doesn't have much nutrition, try to eat less." Shiina Mahiru, who was lying on the bed looking at the rain outside, lectured him.
She began to regret why she stayed at home, or maybe she shouldn't have come back yesterday. When she thought about how she could have been alone with Natsume these days, hiding in the rental house and living a leisurely life while listening to the sound of rain outside, she had an urge to run back immediately.
"Well said, but these are the only things I can eat." Natsume Rin solemnly arranged the instant noodles and placed them on the table, and continued to recite the ingredients behind: "One box of beef, two potatoes, three tomatoes, and four green onions, finished."
"Hey, isn't this a lot of stuff?" Mahiru rolled over on the bed, put the phone to her ear, picked up the girls' comics on the bedside table and started reading. She felt a lot more relieved listening to him say that.
It seems that after the typhoon stops, Natsume might even gain some weight.
"But these are all I have!" His sad and angry voice came to my ears.
Shiina Mahiru laughed happily and tried to teach him how to cook over the phone, but Natsume Rin lacked the most important staple food, so he could only live on instant noodles for the past few days.
"Let's talk later. My family is calling me to come downstairs." Mahiru was on the phone when she heard the shouting from downstairs. She whispered while covering her phone, then put on her slippers and hurried downstairs.
Trapped alone at home, Natsume Rin put the ingredients in the refrigerator first. Relying on the feeling of fullness brought by breakfast, she tried not to look at the food as much as possible. She returned to the bedroom, turned on Tokyo TV, and looked for the news she wanted most.
"…The typhoon will probably last until next Wednesday, so I hope all citizens will try to avoid going out."
Then they thoughtfully broadcast a food-making program so that everyone can find something to do when they are bored at home.
The intention may be good, but it does not take into account the unfortunate people who have no food at home.
After turning off the TV and lying on the soft big bed, Natsume Rin tilted his head and could see the heavy rain outside. Although it forced him to stay at home and unable to go out, it at least proved that the unbearable summer was finally over.
There was a constant stream of messages on the phone, including messages from close friends asking about the situation and messages from school notifying of the holiday. The class group was filled with jubilation. For high school students, more typhoons on school days seemed to be good news.
[How is it? I don't think you'll be hungry.]
This is a greeting from Yang No. Natsume Rin got up and replied to the message.
【Are you okay?】
This is a greeting from Yukino, Natsume Rin is lying down and chatting with the minister.
