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

When Yuigahama Yui returned home, her mother had already prepared dinner.

"I'm back, Mom."

"Welcome back, Yui."

The Yuigahama family is as warm and harmonious as ever.

The dinner table.

The family dine together in harmony, occasionally chatting.

Yui talked about what she saw and heard at school, either actively or passively.

Compared to before, there were fewer parts about interesting things in the class. In contrast, Yui seemed to have endless things to say about the Servant Club, Yukinoshita and Kitano.

The parents looked at each other in tacit understanding as they watched their daughter talk sincerely.

Instead of interrupting her by saying "it's time to concentrate on eating" as usual, the two of them listened to the end with a smile.

Wait until dinner is over.

When her mother finished cleaning the kitchen, Yui calculated the time, took a bag of biscuits with only a few left, and quietly came to her mother's side.

"Try this, Mom."

"Hmm... Are these cookies made by Yui again? I've already eaten them today." Yui's mother knew that her daughter was very happy recently, especially after she successfully made cookies.

Yui continued to persuade her mysteriously, "Okay, have another piece."

The mother couldn't persuade her, so she took a piece out of the bag.

Before eating, the mother began to think about how to praise her daughter, preferably without using the words she had said before.

But when she took a bite of the cookie, her taste buds tasted an unexpected flavor.

The taste may seem ordinary, but as an experienced housewife, how could she not know its quality?

Even if the biscuits have been left out for a day, their crispy texture is still as good as ever. Most importantly, the sweetness of the biscuits is just right, making them delicious but not greasy.

Is it possible that my daughter’s cooking skills are really improving by leaps and bounds?

"How is it?" Yuigahama looked nervous and unsure.

Although the mother wanted to praise her daughter, she gradually had a guess in her mind when she thought about her daughter's strange behavior just now.

"Could it be...the cookies made by Aki-kun?"

"Eh?! I didn't say anything, why did mom know?"

That face that was very similar to Yui showed a gentle and intelligent smile.

"As a mother, how can I not understand what my daughter is thinking?" The mother glanced at the cookies in her daughter's hand, and her curiosity suddenly surged. "When did you become so close to Aqi-kun? He actually gave all the cookies to you."

"Ah! No, we are just ordinary classmates. These cookies..." Yui explained hurriedly, but when it came to where the cookies came from, she suddenly became speechless.

I can’t tell the truth: I stole all these cookies, isn’t that awesome…

It’s so awesome!

"Oh?"

When her mother saw Yui suddenly fall silent, she instantly realized that there was something hidden, and looked at her with a smirk on her face.

Yui couldn't stand this kind of scrutiny, and a blush quietly appeared on her cheeks. Before the temperature of her cheeks rose further, she quickly pretended to be furious.

"Mom, why are you asking so many questions? I just want to know how to make this flavor. If you keep asking, I will ignore you!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Yui. Mom is just a little curious." The mother took Yui's hand very skillfully and comforted her gently. "Since Yui doesn't want to say it, I won't force you."

After Yui calmed down, the mother and daughter discussed the previous topic again.

With Yui's half-hearted explanation, the mother gradually understood the reason of the matter.

"Mom already understands what Yui wants to do. But returning the gift doesn't mean making the same gift. What matters is the thought of considering the other person."

"But... can you really taste the feelings?"

"This requires Yui to think carefully about what kind of taste the other person likes? What is their favorite food? The more you know and the more specific it is, the easier it will be to convey your feelings."

Favorite flavor?

A picture quickly flashed through Yuigahama Yui's mind.

That's when Beino chooses his drink.

Chocolate flavor.

Although she couldn't be sure, at least she had a direction.

Seeing Yui's thoughtful expression, her mother couldn't help but smile with relief.

"It's OK as long as Yui understands."

"Um...ah! No, I just wanted to express my gratitude. How can it be meaningful?"

"Okay, okay, Yui knows what my feelings are."

"Woo..." Yuigahama Yui didn't know how to respond and finally ran away.

?

at the same time.

The Hikigaya family.

It's almost 9pm.

Bei Nuo was alone in the room, feeling both nervous and excited.

Because 9 o'clock every night is the time when the system updates messages.

He had a premonition.

The first episode of "Oregairu" will be aired tonight.

Although, when recording a day's worth of material in the anime world, many unnecessary shots will certainly be deleted.

When it comes to making a complete film, no one knows how long it will take.

But Bei Nuo calculated that four days had passed since he came to the anime world.

According to the original timeline, the story of the first episode only takes place within two days.

That's why he predicted that no matter how the system cuts, at least the material accumulated in these four days would be enough to broadcast the first episode.

Time is passing slowly.

Soon!

Just at this moment, the door was suddenly opened.

Standing outside the door was none other than Hikigaya Komachi.

She was holding a plate of brightly colored pudding in her hands. As soon as she opened the door, she saw her brother sitting on the bed, staring at the wall in confusion.

"What are you looking at, Onii-chan? You look so dazed." Komachi was puzzled, with a hint of disdain in her tone, "Sitting on the bed in silence, is your relationship frustrated?"

“Don’t jump to conclusions about who is frustrated.”

Komachi's arrival forced Kitano back to reality.

His excited emotions were like being poured with a basin of boiled water.

Seeing that he was unwilling to reveal his true feelings, Komachi could only pretend to be sad and lament, "Alas~ It doesn't matter if Onii-chan's feelings are frustrated, after all, there is Komachi. Ah, the speech just now, as Komachi, scored very high points!"

"Yeah, that's a really high score. So what do you want from me?"

"Tsk, what a perfunctory response. Isn't it obvious what I'm doing here?" Komachi walked in with a plate. "Here, this is the pudding my mom bought."

"It's milk pudding, what about chocolate pudding?"

"No, mom only bought one flavor."

Seeing Komachi deny it, Kitano didn't react at all and just stared at her face.

Three seconds passed.

Komachi couldn't help scratching his head, and his hair began to move restlessly. "Oh - it seems to be there, but I didn't find it just now."

"Really? Look in your stomach, maybe you can find it."

“Wow! Why did Onii-chan say such horrible things? Even Komachi was scared by you, wuwu…” She wiped away the non-existent tears with her hand, blinked, and secretly looked at Kitano through the gaps between her fingers.

But Beinuo remained unmoved, as if he had already seen through everything.

At this point, Komachi finally couldn't pretend anymore, "That's it! It's my fault for hiding in the room lately, leaving Komachi to endure the test from the pudding alone. Now here's the result! There's only one pudding left, wuaaaaaaa..."

Bei Nuo's eyes twitched unconsciously. "Why do you want to describe the fact of greed so tragically? If I remember correctly, there should be four puddings in the refrigerator."

"Oh, there are so many of them, hey!" Komachi acted cute in front of him, and at first glance, she looked quite adorable.

If I don't steal the pudding.

Beinuo finally understood the feeling of loving and hating his sister.

"Forget it. I didn't finish all the pudding. As a brother, I'm already relieved at this point. Well, my speech just now also scored very high points."

"Yeah, yeah..."

Komachi paused for an inexplicable moment, and the smile on her face faded a little, "Onii-chan, after all, you are still the Onii-chan that Komachi is familiar with."

Kitano was keenly aware that there was something wrong with Komachi's tone, and coupled with the strange words just now, he immediately became alert.

Did Komachi discover something?

No matter how much he restrained himself, his uneasy mood was still reflected on his face.

Komachi also noticed his changing expression, "Oh, Komachi seemed to have said something inexplicable, Onii-chan, don't worry about it, the pudding has been served, so Komachi will leave first."

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave.

Kitano wasn't sure about Komachi's situation, but he couldn't just leave it alone now.

He tried to be as cautious as possible and chose to keep her, "Komachi, wait a minute, I don't have to care, but if you have anything to say, just say it, I will listen carefully."

Hearing his words, Komachi stopped in front of the door.

Her petite body took a deep breath, as if she was making some decision.

After a moment, Komachi finally turned around, "Well, Komachi, you better explain it clearly."

"Ah."

Komachi leaned against the wall and slowly expressed her concerns.

"To put it simply, I feel like Onii-chan is getting further and further away lately. Well, as her younger sister, Komachi knows best how difficult Onii-chan is."

"In fact, Komachi can feel that Onii-chan is changing for the better. However, if this continues, the relationship between the siblings may become more and more unfamiliar. This is the only thing that bothers Komachi."

"Although Onii-chan has been coming home a little late recently, I chatted with Onii-chan today and Komachi was a little relieved. Yeah! That's about it."

After learning about Komachi's situation, Kitano couldn't help but feel relieved.

It's not that she's been exposed, but Komachi probably feels a little distant.

"I see. I have been busy lately. After all, I joined a club, so I will be home a little later."

"Society?!"

Komachi had an expression of disbelief, "Onii-chan joined the club? The Onii-chan from the Everlasting Homecoming Club?"

She seemed to have heard something strange and couldn't calm down at all.

Bei Nuo thought about it and realized that he had never told her about joining the club.

"Combined with this information... that can explain... well, there is also..."

Komachi suddenly talked to herself and nodded from time to time, looking like a little detective, "Onii-chan! Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier? You made Komachi worry for nothing."

"You didn't even ask."

Seeing how excited Komachi was, Kitano figured that she might have been fooled.

"Um, Onii-chan..." Komachi lowered her voice, as if whispering, "Are there any pretty older sisters in the club?"

"Yes, there is." Bei Nuo thought she was asking about something shameful.

it is as expected!

Komachi gave a wicked smile that couldn't even be covered by her hands, "Oh my, so that's it."

"Let me be clear in advance. It's definitely not what you think." Bei Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yeah, Komachi understands~ Well, good night, Onii-chan."

After saying this, Komachi left the room in a hurry.

What does she understand?

Bei Nuo looked confused.

Forget it, as long as it’s not exposed.

He calmed himself down and turned his attention back to the system interface.
