Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

"our relationship?"

Su Qing stepped back, thought for a moment, and said:

"Including this time, we have only met three times, right? If we really want to talk about our relationship, well... my friend's sister should be a close but not too distant relationship, right?"

Hearing this answer, Yang Nai sighed and returned to his seat, saying with a little sadness:

"Really? I thought we would become closer."

At this time, the waiter also brought the coffee they ordered and smiled at them:

"Please enjoy your coffee."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yang Nai's expression changed instantly, revealing a bright smile and nodded.

"You're welcome. Please, enjoy your meal."

The waiter was a man in his twenties, of average build.

Although he meets all kinds of beauties every day in this industry, this is the first time he has seen someone like Yang Nai, which makes him feel a little bit suspicious.

But when he noticed Su Qing staring at him from the corner of his eye, the courage he had mustered disappeared.

After the waiter left, Yang Nai stared at his back thoughtfully.

After taking a sip of coffee gracefully, she smiled and said to Su Qing:

"You saw that the guy wanted to strike up a conversation, so you used your eyes to force him to give up the idea. I didn't expect you to be such a gentleman, didn't you?"

"It's just that you and he both think too complicatedly. I just glanced at him unintentionally."

Gently shaking the cup and taking a sip, Su Qing shook his head.

"Well. Let's just take it as it is." Yang No didn't care about it, whether it was intentional or not, she had more important things to care about now, "So, have you come up with any solution?"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that Su Qing was playing dumb, Yang Nai pointed it out unhappily:

"Of course it's a way of resistance. Yukino's attitude is that she doesn't want to live with me, but I can understand that. If someone in the family suddenly moves in without saying anything when there's nothing going on, anyone would feel uncomfortable."

Yang No seemed really thirsty and took several sips of coffee.

"Why resist? In my opinion, isn't it natural for two sisters to live together?" Su Qing asked back.

"Do you really think so?" Yang Nai put down the coffee in her hand, smiling, with a hint of disappointment in her voice.

“Hmm… If I heard correctly, your mother wanted you to live with her, right? Do you want Yui and I to ask your mother for help? As club members or friends?”

Su Qing asked several questions in a row, which made Yang Nai feel a little annoyed.

"Ah... so you mean to do nothing?"

Yang No seemed very disappointed, and her tone was not as excited as at the beginning. "Simply avoiding the problem won't solve it. Yukino can't live in a friend's house all her life without facing it. I guess even this stay was initiated by the girl named Yuigahama."

Yang No's gaze drifted out the window, farther and farther away, as if she was reminiscing, and her voice became melodious:

"After all, although she is still as naive as a child, she is surprisingly stubborn."

Without refuting or agreeing, Su Qing just listened quietly to Yang Nai's mumbling.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

The two could hear the sound of a spoon stirring coffee against the wall at the next table.

After a long time.

Yang No tilted her head and opened her red lips slightly: "So, are you planning to [give up] Yukino?"

"Have you finished drinking?"

Without answering her question, Su Qing suddenly said.

"What? Are you planning to escape too?"

Although he didn't know what Su Qing wanted to do, Yang Nai still drank the last few sips.

"If you've finished drinking, let me take you somewhere this time, okay?"

Su Qing shook his head, but did not finish the rest of the coffee.

——He suddenly wanted to try the coffee made by Mahiru.

"Just say whatever you want to say here. I don't have that much time to continue playing with you." Yang Nai said uninterested.

I asked Su Qing out just for fun, and to ask about Yukino's situation.

But now the other party's answer made her very dissatisfied.

As for what Su Qing would think, that was his business. Yang Nai never cared about it.

She investigated Su Qing's background and found nothing special.

If it weren't for Yukino, the two of them wouldn't have had any intersection.

Su Qing was not surprised by Yang Nai's attitude. He just smiled faintly and said softly: "How long has it been since you last touched a bow?"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Yang narrowed his eyes.

Kyudo.

It was one of the few things she truly loved.

But after she won the national championship, she never picked up the bow again.

——This is the agreement between her and her mother.

"Play a game?"

Su Qing did not explain, but invited with a smile.

But to Yang Noi, this was no different from seducing her.

After thinking for a while, Yang No raised his head and smiled brightly:

"That's... what you said."

……

……

In a spacious and bright archery hall, the atmosphere was tense and heated.

"Hush-hush-"

Arrows shot out from the air at astonishing speed and flew straight towards the target in the distance.

Ten rings!

Ten rings!

Before everyone had time to recover from their amazement, the third arrow had already whizzed towards the target.

Unfortunately, this time it’s only nine rings.

Even so, the crowd gathered around and burst into exclamations and praises without hesitation.

Yang Nai's movements are as graceful, standard and smooth as dancing, as if every subtle movement has been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations.

The most terrifying thing is that she was able to shoot three arrows in one breath and still maintain such a high hit rate, which is really astonishing.

Hey.

It's another day to join the ranks in the human world.

Faced with the cheers that came like a tide from all around, Yang Nai not only did not show the slightest bit of complacency, but instead frowned slightly.

Kyudo requires a dignified and elegant posture, and a pure and clear mind.

Unless she has to due to a competition, she prefers to practice in a quiet and deserted place.

This is also why she doesn't come to such public places.

Today is an exception.

"Hina-senpai, you're amazing."

Su Qing clapped his hands and walked towards Yang Nai, praising him sincerely.

"Really? I haven't practiced for a long time and my skills have regressed a lot. Besides, the quality of the bows here is just so-so." Yang Nai adjusted the bowstring disapprovingly.

Still a little too loose.

And the weight of the bow is not very comfortable.

If she had used her custom-made bow, the arrow would have hit the ten-ring mark.

"Then why don't you continue practicing? You must have won the Kyudo Championship. I remember there was a news item at that time: [Shock! A rising star of Kyudo has fallen!]" Su Qing asked.

"Aren't you good at reasoning? Try to guess why you found my car just now. If you guess correctly, I'll give you a reward."

Yang No's voice is very suggestive.

"Okay."

This time Su Qing did not refuse, but he made a request, "Before that, how about listening to a story from me?"

"Tell me."

After Yang Noi put the bow away, he cast a curious look.

“In the huge flower garden, there grew a flower that was exceptionally gorgeous.

Everyone who passed by stopped to watch.

Naturally, it attracted everyone's attention and praise.

But apart from that flower, no one noticed that there was a germinating seed in the soil that was sprouting new leaves.

Time flows.

That new bud also becomes a beautiful flower worthy of praise, but it never gets the recognition it deserves.

Because the flowers that come after them always grow under the [protection] of the first flower."

The story came to an abrupt end.

Su Qing looked at Yang Nai with a smile.

"…Are you trying to say that Yukino is the flower that came later?"

Yang Nai frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, a smile of interest appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Do not……"

Su Qing denied her guess.

He slowly approached, almost close to Yang Nai's ear, and said in a low and magnetic voice, like the whisper of a devil:

"What I want to say is that I am the enchanting flower that has been recognized by everyone and enjoys the brightest sunshine and rain in the flower garden, but in fact, all nutrients can only be given by the outside world, and I always live in the cage of freedom.

In other words, Ms. Yukinoshita Haruno, you..."

Hear the words.

Yang No's smile froze instantly.

His face was as gloomy as water.

……

PS: Sorry, I was stuck for a long time. I'm late.
