Chapter 195: Lingyin's Past!
The next day.
At the platform.
Natsume Ruri's mood seemed exceptionally bright today; she looked up slightly at Natsume Chikage.
"Big Brother, the supermarket only has discounts after eight o'clock tonight."
"Let's have dinner at home around five o'clock."
"After eating, let's go near the Hachiko exit, take a walk along Dogenzaka, and finally go to the supermarket to buy things, how about that?"
Natsume Chikage nodded with a smile.
"No problem."
"We can go home and change into casual clothes before coming out."
"To avoid the Shibuya police seeing two high school students in uniforms and coming over to question us."
Natsume Ruri responded happily.
"Mm-hmm!"
In Japan, students are generally not allowed to wander outside at night.
If discovered by the police, they might indeed be questioned, or even have their school and parents contacted.
But as long as they change into casual clothes, the police will mostly turn a blind eye.
Although they wouldn't return home that late, it's better to be safe than sorry.
At this moment.
The train tracks transmitted rhythmic vibrations and sounds.
The train Natsume Chikage was to take approached from afar, slowly pulled into the platform, and stopped steadily.
Inside the carriage, Lingyin Yukimura, who was bowing her head reading a literary book, felt the train stop and subconsciously raised her gaze to look at the platform.
Her gaze happened to meet Natsume Ruri's on the platform.
Natsume Ruri was slightly stunned, but her reaction was extremely fast; she immediately revealed a sweet smile and waved in the direction of Lingyin Yukimura.
Lingyin Yukimura was somewhat bewildered.
She didn't quite understand why Natsume Chikage's sister would greet her.
At this time, Natsume Chikage also said goodbye to his sister.
"Ruri, Big Brother is leaving first."
"Mm-hmm, Big Brother, take care on the way, goodbye."
Natsume Chikage turned and stepped into the train.
As usual, the carriage wasn't crowded, but there were no empty seats.
He noticed the space standing beside Lingyin Yukimura was empty, so he walked over.
"Good morning, Yukimura-san."
Lingyin Yukimura was silent for a moment before responding softly.
"Good morning, Natsume-kun..."
Natsume Chikage originally wanted to take out his phone and start writing as usual.
However, Lingyin Yukimura took the initiative to speak, which was out of character.
She hesitated for a moment before asking:
"Natsume-kun... just now, was your sister greeting me?"
Her tone carried a hint of imperceptible confusion.
Natsume Chikage explained.
"Yes."
"Yesterday she saw our group photo and knew we were in the same club. That's probably why she greeted you out of politeness."
"I see..." Lingyin Yukimura understood, and the slight doubt in her heart dissipated.
Natsume Chikage remembered she was usually cold and taciturn, so he said considerately:
"If you feel troubled, I can talk to her later."
Lingyin Yukimura shook her head gently.
"No need. I don't mind, I just wanted to know the reason."
She paused and asked:
"Speaking of which, what is your sister's name?"
"Natsume Ruri."
Natsume Chikage answered.
Lingyin Yukimura repeated it in a low voice.
"Ruri... that's a good name."
As she said this, her gaze subconsciously looked out the window.
But she saw Natsume Ruri on the platform, squinting slightly and looking into the carriage.
The moment their eyes met, a brilliant smile immediately bloomed on Natsume Ruri's face, and she waved at her again.
Lingyin Yukimura was startled, and she also raised her hand, waving it gently with a very small motion in response.
At this time, the train slowly started and pulled away from the platform.
Natsume Ruri wore an impeccable sweet smile, watching the train carrying her brother and that "Sister Yukimura" go far away.
Until the train completely disappeared at the end of her vision.
The smile on her face vanished instantly. ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
