Chapter 235 Yukinoshita Hino Appears Again
In the afternoon, Xia Sheng didn't rush home. Instead, he stayed with the five of them, watching TV and chatting in the living room.
There's not much to watch on TV; the main thing is chatting to build relationships.
He knew them, and they knew him, but in reality, they hadn't known each other for very long.
I need to get to know it better.
Xia Sheng and the five others had a great start, without any conflicts or disagreements, and were even warmly accepted.
Of the five, Nino Nakano was the most proactive with him, and her affection for him was obvious.
She also has the affection of others, but she is rather reserved and modest, treating them more like close friends, unlike Nino Nakano who is very enthusiastic.
He was a little curious about what his future self had done to Nakano Nino.
However, what he does in the future is what he wants to do; he just needs to act according to the actual situation.
Xia Sheng didn't intend to ask them what exactly happened; asking would only make his actions seem like he was completing a mission.
He loves the unknown, and his encounters with them are full of endless possibilities.
In the evening, Xia Shengcai said goodbye to the five people and went home.
Nino Nakano wanted Natsuo to stay for dinner, but he firmly refused, saying that having dinner with Shiina Mahiru was better than having dinner with them for the time being.
And what can those five do?
It's all up to Nakano Nino alone; I guess she'll have to help him in the end.
Unlike when he was with Shiina Mahiru, he only had to wait for the food to be ready.
Sooner or later, the angel will turn him into a useless person.
When Natsuo got home, he found that Yukino Yukinoshita was still there.
"Why are you still here?"
"What? You don't want me to stay here?" Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at him indifferently.
"No, it's just a bit of a surprise."
"I live alone, so it's fine for me to stay here a little longer," Yukino Yukinoshita explained.
"That's true... Let's have dinner before going back. I'll take you there later."
"OK."
"Don't be careful what inappropriate things you might do on the street~" Shiina Mahiru interjected with a smile.
"You can release it, I definitely won't," Yukino Yukinoshita replied in a clear voice.
"I'm not letting you go, whether it's you or Xia Sheng."
"But it doesn't matter, as long as Natsumi reports it to me clearly, preferably with details~" Shiina Mahiru teased her.
"Then you can rest assured."
"Really? Natsuo, I'll allow you to do something to Yukino, okay~"
"Stop being stubborn and hurry up and finish cooking." Natsumi came up to Shiina Mahiru and flicked her on the head.
"Ugh... I wasn't showing off," Shiina Mahiru retorted, rubbing her head.
"I know you too well. You're always jealous."
"Hmph~ Do you think you can keep refraining from making a move against Yukino forever?" Shiina Mahiru snorted and retorted.

"Cook, cook, I'm hungry. Yuki, you're not allowed to make Mapo Tofu or Mapo Eggplant!" Natsuo changed the subject and said to Suoh Yuki.
"Then I'll make Mapo Beef and Tofu," Yuki Suoh replied with a smile.
"No way." That Mapo Potatoes.
"No, not any kind of mapo (a type of pastry)!"
"Tch~"
"Well, it's getting late, let's cook together." Yukino Yukinoshita got up and led the way to the kitchen.
"Natsuo, take a rest for a while," Shiina Mahiru gently instructed.
"OK."
While the three of them went to the kitchen to get busy, Xia Sheng didn't stay in the living room. Instead, he went back to his room and started preparing tutoring materials.
He still wanted to take his duties as a tutor seriously.
Being called "teacher" by Nakano Ichika and the others is definitely a nice experience.
However, it's impossible for all five of them to improve their scores in a short period of time; they can't cheat.
Xia Sheng planned to use some unorthodox methods, which involved predicting the questions that would appear on the test, then creating questions for them to answer and memorize the answers.
In other words, it's about practicing coding problems.
He can't predict with 100% accuracy, but he can make a rough prediction.
It will definitely help the five students improve their grades significantly.
This was just a small test, covering only a few knowledge points. Predicting some questions and getting five people to pass was quite easy.
The five of them aren't stupid; they just didn't study hard before, so their foundation is weak.
After this test, Xia Sheng plans to help the five of them solidify their foundation.
Unorthodox methods are ultimately just side paths. He's not the one who sets the questions, nor can he predict the future for them or rehearse in advance.
To forge iron, one must be strong oneself; in life, one must ultimately rely on oneself.
After dinner, it was already past seven o'clock, and the sky was completely shrouded in darkness.
Yukino was about to go home when Natsuo saw her off.
The two left the apartment and walked into the night without exchanging a single word.
Natsumi turned his head to look at Yukino Yukinoshita. Her ethereal profile remained fair even in the night.
Yukino Yukinoshita kept looking ahead, seemingly unaware of Natsuo's gaze, but it was clearly an act.
Xia Sheng no longer hesitated, reached out and took her slender left hand.

"What are you doing?" she asked softly, without turning her head to look at him.
"It's too dark, I'm afraid you'll fall, it's safer to hold hands."
"Am I a child?" Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head and looked at him helplessly.
"Then I'm afraid of falling, okay? I'm afraid of the dark, holding my hand makes me feel safe," Xia Sheng said with a smile.
"Come on, Mahiru said you're not allowed to do anything inappropriate for children with me on the street," Yukino Yukinoshita reminded her.
"What's so inappropriate about holding hands?" Xia Sheng retorted.
"Fine, whatever you say." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head, never refusing from beginning to end.
"Okay, let's keep going." Xia Sheng squeezed her hand.
The two walked hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, without exchanging a word.
But the feeling was different.
A calm heart, warmed hands—time seems to fly by, and distances seem to shrink.
Before they knew it, they arrived at the apartment where Yukino Yukinoshita lived.
But there was an unexpected person standing at the entrance of the apartment.
She was dressed maturely, bright and beautiful, and her face, which resembled Yukino Yukinoshita's, was adorned with a radiant smile.
"Sister..." Yukino Yukinoshita whispered, revealing her identity.
"Oh my, Yukino, why are you coming home so late? That's not how a good girl behaves~" Yukinoshita Haruno greeted the two of them.
"Sister... why are you here?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked, looking at her with an indescribable expression.
"I've come to see if you have a problem?" Yukinoshita asked rhetorically.
"So sudden..."
"I just happened to be passing by and thought I'd drop by to see you, but you weren't home. Are you on a date with Natsuo-kun?" Yukinoshita Haruno stared at Natsuo with a smile.
"Yes, I just got back from a date," Xia Sheng replied with a slight smile.
He also gestured to the two holding hands, showing their intimacy.
"Oh, so the date is over now, right? Thanks for bringing Yukino back~"
"You're welcome, it's what I should do."
"Is that so? It's getting late, you can go back now. Or were you planning to stay here?" Yukinoshita Haruno was still smiling, but the smile was gone.
"Oh dear, how did you know, sister?" Xia Shengchun pretended not to see it.

Yukino raised an eyebrow and fell silent.
"Natsuo, what nonsense are you spouting?" Yukino Yukinoshita interrupted.
"Sister, Xia Sheng just brought me back."
"Is that so? I knew it. Natsuo, you're quite responsible." Yukinoshita Haruno smiled again.
"After all, I have to take responsibility for Yukino," Natsuo replied with a smile.
"What do you mean by taking responsibility..." Yukino Yukinoshita was a little embarrassed; he clearly had something on his mind.
"Heh~ This responsibility isn't something everyone can afford." Yukinoshita Haruno said meaningfully.
"Don't worry about this older sister."
"I'm not your older sister."
"It will happen sooner or later."
"Really? Then may I ask what's going on with the rumors about you and Mai Sakurajima?" Yukinoshita Haruno stared intently at Natsuo.
"My sister really knows me well; she even knows this," Xia Sheng readily admitted, his smile unchanged.
"Tell me about it!"
"It's nothing. Mai-senpai and I are friends. We just went out to hang out normally."
"Mai-senpai... I see."
Yukinoshita nodded as if she understood, then leaned closer to Natsuo and whispered, "Natsuo-kun, you're not allowed to cheat on me~"
