Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

"You are so shameless." Shizuka Hiratsuka pushed Haruno's head with her hand in amusement. She had no good way to deal with this best friend who was sometimes inexplicably narcissistic.

After all, among the women he knew, Yang Nai was the most outstanding in every aspect.

"Hehe, of course, I can also share some of the cuteness with Yukino~"

"I don't need it. I've always been cute." Shaking her head lightly, Yukino picked up her drink from the table and took a sip through the straw.

"Well, in some ways, you and Yang No are really sisters." Nodding with amusement, Shizuka Hiratsuka twisted her neck and blinked at the waiter who had brought the food over.

"Let's eat something first. We can talk while we eat. I'm a little hungry."

"it is good."

This was not the first or second time that the three of them had gathered to eat together, and there was no so-called sense of strangeness between them. While the bowls and chopsticks were intertwined, the three women also talked about topics that interested them, and did not let the atmosphere become dull at all.

"Come to think of it, Sister Jing, have you really decided to take up the post in Tokyo?" After eating some simple dishes, Yukino carefully wiped her mouth with the napkin at hand, then held her drink in both hands, but her eyes looked in the direction of Hiratsuka Jing.

"Yeah, it's decided." Compared to Yukino, who is small in stature and has a small appetite, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who has been maintaining a high-intensity training, can be said to have a strong appetite.

After chewing quickly twice, Shizuka Hiratsuka swallowed the food in her mouth, then nodded with a smile.

"After all, this is also part of my teaching experience. Even though I appear carefree, I'm actually quite serious about my work."

"What's wrong, Yukino? Can't bear to leave me?" Looking at Yukino with a smile, Shizuka Hiratsuka teased softly.

"Well, I'm indeed reluctant." To Shizuka Hiratsuka's surprise, Yukino, who had always been strong and quiet in her impression, with a somewhat cold personality and not good at expressing herself, nodded slightly, looked straight at Shizuka Hiratsuka's face, and said with a regretful tone.

"I was actually looking forward to transferring to Sister Jing's class next semester."

"Really? There's nothing we can do about it." Feeling a little touched, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and raised her hand, reaching over the food on the table and rubbed Yukino's head gently.

"But it doesn't matter if I'm not at Sobu High School. Yukino, just go to class as usual. I'll say hello to my colleagues. If you have any questions, you can go find Ms. Miyamoto in my old office. She's my friend and will help." Looking at Yukino's little head shaking left and right with her hands, Shizuka Hiratsuka ruffled Yukino's originally neat hair with a mischievous taste.

"I know you're much smarter than the other kids, Yukino, and your personality is much better now, but you still need to make more friends at school."

"I know, Sister Jing." Even though Shizuka Hiratsuka's hands were rubbing her head wantonly, Yukino didn't show any annoyance on her face. She just sat obediently on the chair and answered softly.

"Well, Yang No also knows where I live in Tokyo. I'll tell you when the time comes. If you want to come to Tokyo to visit me on weekends in the future, just call me in advance. It's not far." Shizuka Hiratsuka withdrew her hand contentedly and looked at the messy hair on Yukino's head, feeling a little embarrassed.

I was just paying attention to the feel of the hand. It seems a bit inappropriate that I made a little girl's hair so messy.

Thinking in her heart, Shizuka Hiratsuka had already stood up and sat next to Yukino. After asking Haruno for the wooden comb she carried with her, she gently helped her comb her messed up hair while Yukino smiled.

"Sister Jing, have you decided which school you will work for?" She hid more joy and satisfaction in her heart, and glanced at Yang No who was sitting across the table looking at her with a smile. Yukino just had a faint smile on her lips, and said motionlessly to Hiratsuka Shizuka who was fiddling with her hair beside her.

"Well, she should go to Teitan High School." Shizuka Hiratsuka answered truthfully, combing a wooden comb through Yukino's smooth black hair.

"When I was asked to choose a school, I decided where to go. After all, I have friends' children there and they asked me to look after them."

"That's it."

"Well, that's it. Okay, it's done. As expected, Yukino looks better like this." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and nodded, looking at the hair that had become neat after she had sorted it out with satisfaction.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll eat a couple more bites, then we can go play. Is there anywhere Yukino wants to go?"

"If we want to match with Yukino, we can go to the game hall~" Yang No said with a smile, tapping her chin.

"Oh, how about going to the claw machine to grab that panda plush as a gift for Yukino? Great, let's go. I haven't been to the arcade for a long time."

Yukino opened her mouth and wanted to argue, but then she sat back quietly.

Did Sister Jing catch Mr. Pan for herself? It seems like (*≧▽≦)

Chapter 39 Go talk to your father-in-law yourself

"Huh, I really had a lot of fun today."

Throwing her body onto the soft sofa, Yukinoshita Haruno kicked off her slippers and put her long legs on the cold coffee table. Feeling the relaxation coming from her legs that had been standing for an entire afternoon, Haruno squinted her eyes and a melodious voice came out of her mouth.

"Don't look at those dolls so reluctantly, Xueno. They are all given to you by Xiaojing. Why don't you keep them at home and take care of them slowly?" Yang Noi turned her head slightly and looked at Xueno who sat on the sofa without even having time to change into clothes to wear indoors. She took out the panda dolls from the bag she brought one by one and placed them on the coffee table. She said with a smile.

"I'm just taking a look." Perhaps knowing that her behavior was indeed a bit childish and not wanting to appear too willful in front of Yang No, Xue No forced herself to hold her face in check, but the fondness in her eyes never faded as she kept looking back and forth at the various 'Mr. Pan's' neatly arranged on the coffee table.

"Yukino, you really like this doll." Yangno got down from the coffee table with her legs crossed, sat up, looked at the panda dolls on the coffee table that could not be called cute, reached out and gently picked up one and squeezed it.

"Yeah, I like it very much." Yukino gently stroked the panda doll and slowly closed her eyes.

"Is it because of Xiaojing?" Yang Nai asked without looking away, gently poking Mr. Pan's belly with his finger.

"Well, because the first birthday present Sister Jing gave me was this doll." Nodding gently, Xueno opened her eyes and turned to look at Yangno.

"Sister, please go home with me tomorrow. I have something to tell my mother."

"Are you sure?" After slowly putting the doll back, Yang No turned her head and looked directly at Yukino.

"You have to know that it's very difficult to get your mother to agree to transfer to Tokyo."

"I know, but we have to give it a try, right?" Yukino nodded slowly, her expression not changing or showing any tension.

"I will convince my mother."

"That's a good realization. I didn't expect that Yukino would have such an expression." Yang Noi leaned back on the sofa and nodded with a smile, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Yukino became even deeper.

"Don't tell Xiaojing about this first, okay?"

"Well, wait until I convince mother, then I'll give Sister Jing a surprise."

"Really? I believe Xiaojing will like this surprise~" Yang Noi tapped his arm with his right hand, looked at Xue Noi beside him, and said in a vague tone.

"Yukino, you should remember your identity."

"Of course I remember." Her eyes flickered slightly, but Yukino nodded calmly, looking at Haruno with a firm gaze.

"Sister should also be very clear that this is something Mother would not allow."

"Of course~" A bright smile appeared on Yang Nai's face. She stood up from the sofa, stretched lazily, and turned her back with a smile.

"As expected, we are sisters, Yukino~"

. . .

"Well, I really can't eat much more." After finishing the food in the bowl with some difficulty, Shizuka Hiratsuka blocked Sachiko Hiratsuka's hand that wanted to continue to pick up food for her with a stiff face, and said in a painful tone.

"I already had dinner with Haruno and Yukino this afternoon, and I also bought some snacks outside the arcade. I'm really not that hungry anymore."

"Really, you girl, you've been away from home for so long, but you can't even eat properly for the first meal you get home." Although she was complaining, the doting smile on Hiratsuka Sachiko's lips had never disappeared after Hiratsuka Shizuka came back.

"You and Yang No have a really good relationship. Your father and I were originally planning to pick you up today, but that girl called and said she would go back to pick you up, so we waited for her at home." Seeing that Shizuka Hiratsuka really couldn't eat anymore, Sachiko Hiratsuka put down her chopsticks and said with a smile.

"This isn't the first time you've expressed such emotion, Mom. Yang No and I have known each other for a long time, okay."

"I just find it a little strange that there really is a student who can become such good friends with her teacher." Smiling and shaking her head, Sachiko Hiratsuka said slowly.

"When I was little, I didn't want to get too close to my teacher."

"Times are changing~" Seeing that Sachiko Hiratsuka no longer picked up food for her, Shizuka Hiratsuka also smiled and gave herself a thumbs up with some pride.

"Besides, your daughter is a natural teacher. I'm very popular among the students at school!"

"If I had a teacher who often took us out to organize activities and played with us when I was in school, we would have supported him." Nodding with a smile, Sachiko Hiratsuka raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair from Shizuka Hiratsuka's ear behind her ear.

"But our Xiaojing is indeed very suitable to be a teacher. Unlike your father, he has no fate with school in this life."

"Ahem, why are you talking about me?" Hiratsuka Katsuri, who had been sitting calmly in his seat, savoring the food and enjoying the warm feeling of the intimate communication between the two most important women in his life, choked when he didn't expect the topic to be suddenly thrown to him.

"Drink some wine, don't choke." He quickly poured a glass of red wine for Hiratsuka Shengli, and then poured a glass into his own glass. Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't even taste it, and drank it all in one gulp like grape juice.

"Xiao Jing, did you have fun on this trip?" Hiratsuka Shengli accepted the red wine poured by his beloved with satisfaction. Feeling that the taste had improved a lot, he tried his best to make his ferocious face look kinder.

"Your mother and I didn't want to disturb your fun, so we didn't contact you much."

"Well, I had a lot of fun. When I was in the Lighthouse Country, it was basically Sister Yukiko who took care of me. Everything was ok~" She nodded to Hiratsuka Shengli. Knowing her father very well and having never been afraid of him since childhood, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and picked up a piece of his favorite barbecue for Hiratsuka Shengli.

"If you hadn't suddenly given me such a troublesome task, I might be happier." Thinking of something, Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes couldn't help but become a little resentful. She turned her head and looked at Sachiko Hiratsuka with melancholy.

"Xingzi, I've said before that it's rare for Xiaojing to go out and play, so don't bother her with things she's not good at..."

"That's what Xiaojing's grandfather asked of her. If you care about Xiaojing, then go talk to my dad... your father-in-law."

"...Ahem, Xiaojing, you're in the United States, where did Yukiko take you to play? (Smile)"

"..."

Chapter 40 Chapter 40 is not cute!

Apart from a few unexpected events, the Hiratsuka family's dinner to welcome their daughter can be said to have ended perfectly.

While Sachiko Hiratsuka was calling an unknown friend in the living room, Shizuka Hiratsuka carefully walked to the balcony, smiled and approached Hiratsuka Victory, and casually nudged her father's arm with her shoulder.

"Dad, have a cigarette~"

"You are so bold! You dare to smoke even when your mother is at home." Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was standing next to him and had a tall figure among the women in Japan, Katsuki Hiratsuka shook his head in amusement. He glanced towards the living room and after making sure that Sachiko Hiratsuka didn't notice him, he took out a cigarette box from his pocket and handed it to Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Thanks, Dad~ I haven't smoked all afternoon." He took the cigarette box, took out the cigarette skillfully and put it in his mouth, then used the lighter that Hiratsuka Victory placed on the fence to light the cigarette, and Hiratsuka Shizuka took a puff with enjoyment.

"Although I don't care much about your affairs in this regard, girls should still avoid these things. They are not good for your health." Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka standing next to him, holding a cigarette in her mouth with the skillful posture of an old smoker, even Hiratsuka Shengli, who doted on his daughter, felt a little sad at this moment.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find out who taught his precious daughter to smoke and drink back then, Hiratsuka Victory would definitely let that person know what the anger of the leader of the 'Shoujing Group' feels like!

"Dad, if you had this awareness, Mom wouldn't always complain to me on the phone about you not being able to quit smoking and drinking." Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a smile, winking playfully at Hiratsuka Victory.

"And I'm just like you, Dad. I took advantage of Mom's phone call to sneak out to the balcony to smoke."

"Hmph, what are you talking about? You were the one who sneaked out. I'm just used to looking at the scenery of the garden while smoking." With a dissatisfied snort, Hiratsuka Victory looked at the plants in the courtyard with a distant gaze and said in a steady tone.

"Ah, Master, you went to the balcony to smoke again! Please stop throwing cigarette butts in the yard. It's hard for me to clean them up!"

"Fukuyama, shut up!" A look of embarrassment flashed across his eyes. Looking at the old man below who was holding pruning tools and wearing cleaner's clothes, Hiratsuka Shengli growled angrily.

"Yes, yes, just yell at me. If Mrs. Sachiko finds out that the flower she liked before was burnt by a cigarette butt, I won't be the one who will be in trouble." He didn't care about Hiratsuka Katsuri's anger at all. As an old man who had been working in the Hiratsuka family since Hiratsuka Katsuri's father's generation, the toys that Hiratsuka Katsuri used to have when he was a child were all made by Fukuyama Taira himself.

"Hehe, Uncle Fukuyama, you still like to go out for a stroll after dinner~" Seeing her father being humiliated, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't feel sorry. She held the cigarette in her hand and raised the other hand to shake it happily.

"Oh, Miss Jing is back. Did you have a good time on your trip?~" Because Hiratsuka Victory did not turn on the light outside the balcony, and also faintly pulled up the curtain inside the glass door, Fukuyama Ping only saw the sparks of the cigarette, and did not see clearly who was standing on the balcony.

Hearing Shizuka Hiratsuka's voice at this moment, Fukuyama Taira moved a little closer and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with a smile on his face who was greeting him.

"Well, I had a lot of fun. By the way, Uncle Fukuyama, I also brought you a gift~ It's too late today, I'll give it to you tomorrow~" She said it in a relaxed tone. For this old man who appeared beside her consciously, Hiratsuka Shizuka's attitude towards her was the same as Hiratsuka Katsuri and Hiratsuka Sachiko. She didn't simply treat him as a servant of the Hiratsuka family.

Not to mention, this old man who always had a kind expression and a smile on Hiratsuka Shizuka's face, when Hiratsuka Shizuka was young, had to confront Hiratsuka Seiji, who was rarely angry with Hiratsuka Shizuka, because Hiratsuka Shizuka made a mistake accidentally. This made her look embarrassed and speechless.

It was also from that moment on that Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had lived without a grandfather since childhood, regarded Taira Fukuyama as her own grandfather.

Knowing this, Hiratsuka Shengli didn't say anything. After all, no one knew his childhood dark history better than the old man in front of him.

Although every time when drinking, the old man always talked excitedly about the time when Hiratsuka Katsuri urinated on him when he was a child, Hiratsuka Katsuri always wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Hahaha~ Okay, it makes me happy that Miss Jing cares so much about an old man like me. It seems that I will have two more drinks when I go back home tonight!" A look of joy flashed in his eyes, and Fushan stroked his beard and nodded happily.

"It's okay to drink a little, but don't drink too much. Otherwise, I'll call Sister Qingzi and ask her to come back and talk to you."

"Okay, I won't drink too much. Just one glass and then I'll go to bed." Facing Hiratsuka Shizuka's threat, Fukuyama Hei also agreed with a smile.

"Okay, old man, I won't disturb you two from smoking here secretly. I'm going to take a walk. By the way, Miss Jing, remember to come see me tomorrow. I have a gift for you too."

"Okay, I'll go."

"I'm not smoking secretly. Why would I smoke secretly in my own home!" Looking at the angry Hiratsuka Shengli beside her, knowing that he was angry and embarrassed because he was exposed in front of her, Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled but didn't want to provoke him anymore.

"Okay, okay, Uncle Fushan was just joking. I know Dad, you don't smoke in the house because Mom doesn't like the smell of cigarettes."

"That's right. If your mother couldn't stand the smell of cigarettes, would I smoke on the balcony? Xiaojing, you understand your dad." Nodding in agreement, Hiratsuka Shengli put out the cigarette in his hand, and then lit another one.

"Yes, yes, I'm so happy that you two are so loving~" Shizuka Hiratsuka also put her almost finished cigarette into the ashtray and wanted to take out another cigarette.

"No, Xiaojing, you can only smoke one cigarette at night."

"What? It's not fair~" Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Hiratsuka Sei with dissatisfaction as he put the cigarette box back into his pocket. Knowing that he could not get cigarettes from his father, he had no choice but to give up.

"But don't blame me, Dad, you should also smoke less." Turning around, leaning against the balcony railing with her arms on the railing, Shizuka Hiratsuka raised her head and looked at the starry sky casually.

"The last time you smoked two packs of cigarettes in one day at home, Mom got so angry that she complained to me for an hour."
