Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

Beinuo's inquiry came over the phone.

Yukinoshita felt a little nervous for some reason, and her white and tender fingers clenched a little.

"Are you free right now?"

The girl felt her voice tremble a little, a fluctuation that only she could detect, but she subconsciously held the phone a little further away, as if she was afraid that the other party would hear it.

"Well...is there anything?" Bei Nuo did not answer directly.

The deep and magnetic voice echoed in Xueshita's ears. After not seeing each other for several days, even though they were only communicating over the phone, she had the illusion that the distance between them was shortened.

"Did Komachi say anything? Actually, during your absence, the Servant Club received a commission..."

Yukinoshita clearly and briefly summarized the contents of the commission.

On the other end of the phone, Kitano was leaning against the sofa and listening quietly. He also used one hand to move away Komachi who was trying to eavesdrop.

The younger sister looked at him with hostile and ferocious eyes like a little animal and almost bit Beinuo's finger.

Kitano sensed something and reluctantly withdrew his hand, allowing Komachi to come closer happily.

She smiled quietly and very sensibly, even though she just wanted to eavesdrop more clearly.

"Okay, I understand." Kitano spoke after Yukinoshita paused, "To be honest, I also want to join this commission, but I've been too busy recently. Even now I'm sleepy and want to sleep."

When Komachi and Yukinoshita heard this, they immediately realized that Kitano had no intention of going out, and they both felt a little regretful about it.

Bei Nuo had reasons to refuse. Even though he was full of energy at the moment, he had to go to another film set late at night.

He was not sure whether Yukinoshita and the others would continue to look for the high-rise bar in "Angel's Ladder" after their disappointment at "Angel's House", so it was necessary to make it clear in advance.

"You probably don't know about Saki Kawasaki. Kawasaki is in the same class with me. Do you need my information about her?"

Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes slightly: "It sounds like you know the other person better than Yuigahama-san. Is it my illusion?"

Of course...but Bei Nuo couldn't tell the truth, so he was silent for a while.

Yuigahama and Isshiki, who were standing next to the girl, realized that it was Kitano who was speaking on the other end of the line the moment she changed her tone of voice.

The two girls were already listening silently, and now they became even more focused. It would be even better if Yukinoshita turned the phone to speaker mode.

While Yukinoshita was waiting for the other party's answer, she naturally noticed the gazes of Yuigahama and the other person beside her.

She quickly returned to reality from the atmosphere of the chat she was immersed in. She looked away and unconsciously at the ground. The noise of the passers-by around her seemed to add a bit of noise, making her unable to calm down.

Did I say something weird?

Yukinoshita was inexplicably nervous and began to reflect, and then she heard Bei Nuo's response on the phone:

"That's not true. Kawasaki-san always gives people a sense of distance, whether they are girls or boys. In this regard, Yukinoshita should be able to understand it well."

Sense of distance?

Yukinoshita had reason to believe that Kitano was implying that she was not sociable, and an invisible irritation surged in her heart:

"Are you saying I'm cold and unapproachable?"

"Eh?" Bei Nuo's voice paused noticeably.

Yuigahama and Isshiki noticed that Yukinoshita's face suddenly turned cold, and they both looked away at the same time.

Xiaoxue suddenly got angry...

What did the senior say?

Komachi, who was eavesdropping on the other end of the phone, also showed an embarrassed expression after hearing the conversation.

Under the gaze of his sister who was saying "work harder", Bei Nuo smiled and replied:

"Yukinoshita-san, I never said such bad words."

Although Yukinoshita Yukino was in a state of confusion at the moment, she also realized that she had just said the wrong thing: "Is, is that so? That's good..."

She also felt strange as to why he suddenly said such words.

"Oh, there have been similar situations before." Bei Nuo couldn't help but recall the scene when he first had a conflict with Yukinoshita. "I didn't expect that you still can't forget it. Please use your memory for other things."

After he reminded her, Yukinoshita also remembered the past scene, so she pretended to be nonchalant and said:

"I don't hold grudges like that."

Bei Nuo didn't respond.

Who would believe what Yukinoshita said?

The two girls who had been waiting patiently were attracted by Yukinoshita's gentle reaction and cast curious glances at her again.

Xiaoxue calmed down immediately...

Senior is really good...

Yukinoshita's face flushed slightly, and she quickly turned her back, silently pressing the phone against her ear which was gradually getting warmer.

"Okay, the sense of distance I'm talking about is simply the feeling of being far away. In Kawasaki's case, it should be the feeling of not being interested in the people around him."

"Recently in the home economics class, the teacher decided to regroup the students to train them, so I came into contact with Kawasaki."

Kitano began to talk about the process of communication with Kawasaki.

As Yukinoshita listened, envy gradually welled up in her heart.

My classmates...

Ever since Yukinoshita returned to her country, she always thought that it was an unnecessary interpersonal relationship.

But listening to the interesting things on the phone, especially what Kitano encountered, Yukinoshita couldn't help but imagine that if she was in the same class with him, more unique things would happen.

"...To be honest, although Kawasaki is skilled with a knife and cooks much faster than other students, I really can't accept her boiled green peppers."

"I put a lot of effort into getting her to approve the stir-fried green peppers. But the price was that our group's tomato and egg soup was completely ruined. As for why, Yui knows the details, but she may be embarrassed to say it..."

Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her cherry lips and listened quietly, hiding the helplessness and dissatisfaction in her eyes in a corner where Yuigahama and Isshiki couldn't see.

Then she spoke clearly: "So what do you want to express?"

Bei Nuo came to his senses: "It seems that I have said too much. You still need to go to the store later."

"Yeah, I didn't expect to hear you talk so much on the phone." There was no resistance in Yukinoshita's tone. She also wanted to chat for a while, but she had no reason.

"Haha, that's right. Be more concise next time."

Actually... it's not bad to be a little long-winded...

Yukinoshita said against her will: "It's good that you know."

Bei Nuo responded immediately and stopped talking nonsense:

"The reason why Kawasaki showed a distant attitude may be that she has not found the right way. The 'bad girl' you heard is just a label. Whether my judgment is valid needs you to test, so I leave it to you."

"The information you provided is really ambiguous." Yukinoshita couldn't help but complain, "And what you said always felt very similar to Hiratsuka-sensei."

"Uh...is there?" Beinuo was a little panicked inside, but he never showed it.

"Of course, the last sentence 'I'll leave it to you' is exactly the same as what Mr. Hiratsuka said this afternoon."

"..."

Yukinoshita knew the call was about to end, so she added, "Although the content is the same, Hiratsuka-sensei's words are more funny."

"Oh, she must be joking." Bei Nuo quickly broke the silence. He understood Hiratsuka Shizuka's passion too well.

The phone was suddenly hung up.

Kitano looked helplessly at the phone screen where the call was terminated, thinking that Yukinoshita might not be able to wait any longer, so he returned the phone to Komachi.

"Sister Yukinoshita, will you hang up first? Do you think Onii-chan can chat? Komachi is listening anxiously."

Facing his sister's sarcasm, Bei Nuo gave her a friendly slap: "You think eavesdropping is justified? Hey, I'm going back to my room to review first, don't knock on the door if you have nothing to do."

Komachi pouted as she watched him walk away. She had just rubbed her head that was hit by the knife when she felt her cell phone vibrate again.

When I opened it, it was still under the snow.

Komachi answered the call curiously.

"Sorry, Hikigaya, I pressed the wrong button just now." Yukinoshita's apologetic voice came from the phone, "Hello, can you hear me?"

"Yeah, I can hear it." Komachi said with a smile.

"That's... Komachi."

"Yes, this is Komachi's phone, so of course Komachi will answer it. Sister Yukinoshita, do you have anything else to say to brother? Komachi can convey it for free."

Yukinoshita adjusted her breath and replied, "No, no more."

Komachi sighed silently, "Really? If Sister Yukinoshita wants to talk to Brother alone, Komachi can provide Brother's contact information for free."

"Well, no need."

Komachi's face immediately fell when she heard this answer, but Yukinoshita said:

"I already have it."

This unexpected result made Komachi feel pleasantly surprised. She thought that he was indeed her brother. "Ahaha, so I see, I have my brother's contact information. I thought only Sister Yui had exchanged numbers."

"..."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, like an ice-covered lake, with everything being quiet.

Although Yukinoshita was pleasantly surprised by today's phone conversation, her joy quickly receded like the tide when she thought that Yuigahama had already taken the lead.

Then, she cast her autumn-water eyes towards Yuigahama beside her and said into the phone:

"I will take the initiative to contact him next time."
