Glacier sister, don't want to be a sandwich

"Hina-sister!"

She called out sweetly in a soft and sticky tone, the voice was as sweet as sugar, and it clearly revealed an unusual feeling.

If Sayo was present at this moment, she would immediately notice the strangeness in Yue Ge's tone and become alert.

However, our little genius Hikawa Risai obviously does not have too much talent in emotional intelligence.

Even though Yuege didn't try to hide it, Hinai didn't sense anything was wrong at all.

"Huh? What happened to Yuege?"

Hinai turned around from the table, her brows slightly raised, her eyes bright with a hint of innocent curiosity, and she was obviously not on guard against Yue Ge's arrival.

Yue Ge looked at Hina's reaction and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but the smile on her face did not disappear, but became even brighter.

She walked into the room quietly, her steps brisk yet deliberately slow.

She raised her head, her eyes sparkling like stars, as if she was brewing something.

"Sister Hina..."

Yue Ge's voice was drawn out, with a hint of coquettishness. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled like a cunning little fox. "I have something I want to talk to you about~"

"Okay!"

Hikawa Hina nodded without hesitation, a bright smile on her face.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she was obviously very happy that Yue Ge took the initiative to find her.

"Yue Ge, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!"

She straightened up, her tone full of confidence, and she was ready to help her sister solve her problems as an older sister.

Yuege raised her head slightly and said softly, "Sister Hina just said that she learned a new song in one day. Can you teach me how she did it?"

"Hmm?" Hina was a little confused when she heard Yuege's question.

"Isn't this simple? You can do it just by listening." Hinai seemed to think it was a matter of course.

Although Yue Ge had known for a long time that Hina had a low EQ, when she really heard Hina's sister say this.

She still couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

"Hina-nee...don't take your talents for granted."

However, she quickly adjusted her mood. If Hinayana really had self-awareness, she wouldn't need to stand here and think about how to persuade Hinayana.

"Eh? But... Yuege, I can't do that."

Her voice softened, with a slight upward rise at the end, carrying a hint of coquettishness. A sweet smile hung on her face, as if she were really asking her sister for help.

That’s right, this was the countermeasure Yuege came up with - to guide Hinata to recognize her talents by showing weakness.

Yuege knew that Hina had never realized how extraordinary her talent was.

Because of this lack of awareness, she inadvertently caused tremendous psychological pressure on Sayo.

And it would be almost impossible for others, including Sayo, to tell Hinata the truth directly.

Especially Sister Saya - if she said these words directly, it would be equivalent to admitting that she is no match for Hina, which would undoubtedly cause a serious blow to Saya's self-esteem.

So, Yuege came up with this idea: by taking the initiative to show weakness to Hina, she would make her realize how unusual her talent is.

However, Yue Ge had no idea how unique Hikawa Hina's ability to understand could be.

"Eh? It's so easy to do, right? Can't Yuege do it?"

Hinata's voice remained brisk, her eyes filled with pure confusion, even a hint of curiosity, as if she was seriously considering why Yuege found this difficult.

This sentence made Yue Ge startled slightly, and her heart sank suddenly. Her brows almost immediately furrowed, and the corners of her mouth twitched subconsciously.

She knew full well that Hinata's tone held no malice, but the words sounded like an unintentional taunt towards her.

"...Calm down, Yuege, calm down."

Yue Ge said to herself silently in her heart, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the feeling of dissatisfaction.

She had never paid much attention to it before, but now, after experiencing it herself, Yue Ge finally understood the difficulties faced by her sister Sayo.

"I'm sorry...Saya-nee...I've been careless."

She apologized silently in her heart, realizing that she had cared too little about her sister's stress in the past.

After finally adjusting his mood, Yue Ge raised his head and tried hard to force a gentle smile on his face.

Although the smile was a little forced, her tone was still gentle: "Hina-nee...is it possible that everyone is different?"

"Just because Hinata-nee can do it easily doesn't mean others can do it easily too."

"There's no way I can be like Hina-nee."

As Hikawa Hina listened to Yuege's words, her usual confident expression gradually faded a bit.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of confusion and hesitation flashed in her eyes. She lowered her head, her fingers gently pinching her chin, as if she was trying hard to think about Yue Ge's words.

"Um……"

Her voice was drawn out, with a rare hint of hesitation. Her eyes scanned the room, then looked up at Yue Ge, a look of confusion and indescribable struggle in her eyes.

But the next moment, her brows relaxed, and that familiar smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again. "Sure enough!"

Her voice suddenly brightened, and her eyes regained that innocent and fearless light. "I still can't understand!"

Her tone was brisk and matter-of-fact, as if this was a conclusion that didn't require much thought. Her eyes were bright and clear, and her face was free of burden, completely unaware of how frustrating her words were to Yue Ge.

Yue Ge looked at Hina's innocent appearance. Although she still kept a smile on her face, she sighed helplessly in her heart.

"Hina-nee, it's really not easy to change your perception."

----------------

A moment later, Mom and Yuege emerged from Sayo and Hina's room almost simultaneously. The hallway was so quiet that only the sound of footsteps could be heard. They exchanged glances, each seeing the same sense of helplessness and exhaustion in the other's expression.

Yue Ge paused for a moment, frowning slightly as she asked her mother about the progress: "Mom...did Sister Sayo say anything?"

When my mother heard this, she sighed softly, raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, her eyes revealing a deep helplessness.

"No, Sayo is still keeping her thoughts to herself and has absolutely no desire to reveal them."

"What about Ricai? Is there any progress with Yuege?" Mom then asked Yuege.

"Hina-sister..."

Speaking of Hikawa Hina, Yue Ge recalled Hina's completely unaware tone just now, and her words were full of helplessness: "There has been no progress."

"Oh!" The mother and daughter sighed together.

————————Hiroshiwa Sayo’s perspective——————————

After seeing her mother off, Sayo sat back on the bed and picked up the guitar that had been placed beside her. She gently stroked the strings with the pick in her hand, preparing to continue practicing, but she found that she couldn't concentrate at all.

The words her mother had just said echoed in her mind over and over again: "Saya, if you feel stressed, remember to tell your mother at any time, understand?"

She paused, the pick hanging in the air, not falling. Finally, she slowly put the pick down and sighed.

"The pressure... is quite great..."

Sayo murmured softly, her voice almost drowned out by the subtle vibrations of the guitar. She raised her head and her gaze fell on the ceiling of the room, her eyes somewhat empty.

"Since when did it become like this?"

Her voice was weak, but it carried an undisguised weariness. Sayo lowered her head and gently covered her face with her hands, pressing her fingertips firmly against her forehead, as if this could alleviate the chaos surging in her mind.

"Japanese food always seems so easy, it can accomplish things that others can't accomplish no matter how hard they try."

Her tone was calm, but there was a hint of suppressed emotion in her voice.

Her gaze drifted to the guitar beside her. It was filled with longing and love, but now it was mixed with countless feelings of powerlessness.

"I'm the older sister, so I should work harder."

Her voice lowered, a stubbornness bordering on self-blame etched in her tone. She clenched her hands, as if to dispel the helplessness she felt.

Sayo's gaze returned to the guitar in her hands. Her fingers gently slid across the instrument, feeling the cool, familiar touch. A complex emotion flashed across her eyes, a mixture of confusion and self-blame. "But... why is it that the harder I try, the further out of reach I feel?"

Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, as if she was talking to herself, or to the guitar.

Her thoughts gradually drifted away, and she couldn't help but ask herself: When did the sisterly relationship between her and Hinata begin to deteriorate?

The past scenes flooded into her mind like a tide - when she was a child, the scene of her and Hinayana holding hands and running on the street with Yue Gege was still vivid in her mind. It was also at that time that Hinayana easily recited the things that she needed to remember with paper and pen.

Maybe it started from that time?

In fact, if Hikawa Sayo could jump out of her own emotional whirlpool and stay out of it, she would be fully capable of seeing the full picture of the matter. She would understand that she was putting too much pressure on herself because she was too obsessed with the role of "sister".

But the problem is that she is the person involved in this story.

She was trapped in her own emotions, as if going around in circles, unable to find a way out.

Every time I communicate with Japanese food, it feels like walking on thin ice, sliding towards the cracks step by step, but unable to stop.

The relationship between Hikawa Sayo and Hikawa Hina is now like the ice in a river in winter. There are only the two of them on the ice. Whether anyone else steps on the ice or the two of them take another wrong step, they will probably fall into the cold river water.

"what should I do?"

Saya asked herself silently in her heart, but there was no answer to this question.

Neither Yuege nor her mother could truly help Sayo come out of this. Before she could fully reconcile on her own, any external force would be futile.

The room was still silent, with only Sayo's fingers unconsciously plucking the strings, making a low vibration, as if responding to the deep loneliness in her heart.

Perhaps...the only thing Hikawa Sayo can rely on at this moment is the guitar.

--------------

Now Saya only relies on the guitar. When will it be the case that the guitar is the only thing she has?

I went to the comic convention today. I didn’t proofread the words I typed at the convention. Sorry QAQ

I will add another chapter to apologize during the Chinese New Year.

Chapter 65 Let’s go and catch bugs!

Yuege and her mother's efforts ultimately ended in failure.

However, Yue Ge did not have much time to worry about these things, because the adventure of going out to catch insects that she and Xiao Deng had already agreed on was about to begin.

When it comes to catching bugs, you can't do it in the concrete city of Tokyo. To truly experience the joy of catching bugs, you have to at least be in the wild, in the woods.

So, when the morning sun just started to shine into the room, Yue Ge climbed out of bed.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes gently, yawned, and then quickly changed into sportswear that was easy to move in.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she made a "come on" gesture with full energy.

She walked into the kitchen and saw her mother busy preparing breakfast. The ingredients in the pot gave off a fragrant aroma, but Yue Ge's attention was obviously no longer on breakfast.

"Mom, I'm going out first!"

She put on her shoes and shouted towards the kitchen, her voice full of excitement and impatience.

My mother, who was cooking, looked up at me and gave me a helpless smile. "Yue Ge! Aren't you going to finish your breakfast before you leave?"

Yue Ge had already opened the door. She turned around with a mischievous smile and waved her hand: "It's okay! I brought bread in my backpack!"

Before my mother could say anything else, her figure had disappeared outside the door, leaving only the morning breeze gently blowing through the wind chimes at the door, making a crisp sound.

"This child..." Mom was about to say something, but when she thought about her two remaining children, she suddenly felt that Yue Ge was less of a worry.

--------------

"Little light!"

Yue Ge's voice rang out clearly in the station, she waved her arms and a bright smile spread across her face.

Her steps were so brisk as if she was jogging, and she ran quickly towards Gao Songdeng who was standing beside her with small steps.

"long time no see!"

Yuege's tone was cheerful and friendly, as if she were reuniting with long-lost friends. She rushed to Xiaodeng and gave her a warm hug with open arms.

Gao Songdeng was slightly stunned, then revealed a warm smile. "Well, long time no see, Yuege."

Compared to her two older sisters at home who always give her a headache, Yue Ge felt extremely satisfied after seeing Xiao Deng.

She hugged Gao Songdeng and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "As expected, Xiaodeng is really a relief."
