Chapter 455: Engagement? Accept? Refuse? [10K]

Because of the arrival of the two Yukinoshita sisters, the reception room fell into a brief silence.

Yukino's mother watched the reaction of Lin Ye, who was sitting opposite her. Her expression didn't change, maintaining her faint state when dealing with people, but a touch of satisfied laughter also emerged in her heart.

Her younger daughter was not as good as her older daughter Haruno in comprehensive ability, but compared to others, she also belonged to the outstanding and excellent ranks.

Especially since Yukino also inherited her appearance. Although Yukino's mother, as a woman, didn't fully agree that a woman's appearance was the most valuable point, in today's realistic society, a woman possessing a beautiful appearance was the greatest capital.

If Yukino's appearance were insufficient and she lacked attractiveness, how could Lin Ye have confessed his love multiple times before!

At this moment,

Yukinoshita Yukino slowly raised her small head, looked at Lin Ye, and finally her gaze looked toward her mother.

After noticing her mother's eye signal, she moved her red lips lightly and said slowly, "Classmate Lin, good afternoon, welcome to my house as a guest."

She spoke very softly, compared to her daily coldness that kept people at a distance, her words now had a touch of softness.

Because of the existence of Yukino's mother, as a greeting to a guest invited over, she couldn't be cold, leaving a bad impression on Lin Ye, especially on her mother.

"Receiving the invitation from Department Head Yukinoshita to be a guest is my honor. This should be the first time I have come to a mansion with traditional Japanese-style architecture. For me, it has also added a new life experience."

"Mm."

Because of Yukino's mother's presence, Yukinoshita Yukino had an invisible restraint compared to her daily life.

"Yukino,"

"Mother." Yukinoshita Yukino looked toward her mother.

"Accompany Lin Ye to walk around the house in a bit, and introduce the layout and style of the Yukinoshita mansion to Lin Ye."

Yukino's mother spoke.

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded and agreed, "I understand, Mother."

Subsequently,

Yukinoshita Yukino, wearing a purple kimono, walked with light steps to Lin Ye's side and sat in the seat next to him.

And Haruno sat opposite Yukinoshita Yukino, which was the seat next to Yukino's mother.

'Hua la la...'

Yukino's mother's hands were skillful, operating the tea set proficiently, her movements elegant, every step manifesting beauty. She also poured a cup of tea for her two daughters.

The tea fragrance was elegant, the clear fragrance refreshing.

Yukinoshita Yukino held the teacup with her slender fingers, raised it, and took a small sip.

Delicious, clear fragrance and sweet, without a trace of bitterness.

She had also learned tea ceremony skills. Even if she had been evaluated as outstanding by the teacher who taught her, compared to her mother, she was still slightly inferior.

She was not as good as her mother.

And what made her care and sigh even more was that she hadn't tasted tea made by her mother's own hands for many years.

Tasting it again after several years was because of Lin Ye, and her mood was very complicated.

"I heard from Haruno that Lin Ye joined a club set up by Yukino."

Yukino's mother found a topic.

"Yes, the Service Club set up by Department Head Yukinoshita. At the request of Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka, I joined. At the beginning, Department Head Yukinoshita was very opposed to me joining."

As soon as this was said,

Yukinoshita Yukino's face changed slightly. Not only was the slightly shameful club name 'Service Club' mentioned in public and known by her mother, but that 'refusal to join the club' was also known by her mother.

Mother would definitely blame her, right!

"Oh! So Yukino actually refused at the beginning,"

She looked at her younger daughter with a smile, "Yukino, the reason for the refusal? Mother is very curious."

Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips and thought.

Say 'chastity is in danger'?

This definitely couldn't be said.

"The motive for joining the club was impure."

She gave a reason, "He was forced to join the club because of Teacher Hiratsuka's request. I hope the club members are voluntary, joining the club from the bottom of their hearts, rather than being forced."

Yukino's mother's calm expression seemed to accept her younger daughter's explanation.

"Shizuka shouldn't be messing around either. I think she must have felt that Lin Ye was very suitable to join your club."

She had a considerable understanding of Hiratsuka Shizuka, knowing that the junior wouldn't mess around and cause trouble.

As a teacher at Sobu High, Hiratsuka Shizuka had always done her duty as a teacher, and based on her own sense of justice and kindness, she took the initiative to provide help, changing the decadence of many poor students.

"Mm,"

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't deny it, but responded.

And at this time, Lin Ye spoke, "It's probably because Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka hoped that Department Head Yukinoshita would change me! For a period of time before, I was always late and skipping classes, a proper poor student performance,"

"Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka hoped I would join the Service Club and let Department Head Yukinoshita change me. In this era, there are really very few teachers who are so responsible. She is a good teacher."

The smile between Yukino's mother's brows became even more intense, "Shizuka has always been like this. I watched her grow up. When she decided to join Sobu High as a teacher, I was actually quite surprised, but she has indeed become an excellent teacher."

Yukino's mother then turned to ask about the club.
