Did You Learn Anything?

Half a minute later, Utaha, her face flushed, grabbed Fushimi Makoto's arm. "Stop, stop right now!"

That's not how you press! I can feel it!

She didn't want to see Yukino in a wet dress.

That would be far more humiliating than having her thigh poked because her leg went numb.

"Sorry, my skill level is too high, I used it all at once." Fushimi Makoto also felt that his technique was getting better and better.

In ancient times there was the famous Kato's Hand), and now there is Fushimi's Hand).

Upon returning to the living room, Utaha regained her usual composure.

What Fushimi Makoto bothered her, so much so that she kept stealing glances at Yukino while she was eating.

This scene did not escape Yukino's eyes.

She assumed Utaha was plotting revenge and didn't really care.

In terms of physical strength, she was confident she could take on five Kasumigaoka Utaha.

At 7 p. m., Utaha got up to say goodbye.

Fushimi Makoto originally intended to stay overnight, but when he heard that Mrs. Yukinoshita was going to stay there, he changed his mind and stood up as well.

Seeing his decisiveness, Yukino couldn't help but feel surprised and somewhat disappointed.

Just as she saw the two off and was about to tidy up the living room, her phone suddenly vibrated.

He picked it up and Fushimi Makoto: [Wait for me tonight.]

Yukino blushed slightly: [What time are you planning to come? If it's too late, it will disrupt my sleep schedule.]

Fushimi Makoto: [I'll be there in a bit.]

Later?

Yukino subconsciously looked at her mother who was getting her pajamas.

Letting that guy in without his mother noticing, and without her noticing, is no easy task.

The next moment, she saw a message from Fushimi Makoto: [I've bypassed the firewall.]

Yukino: "???"

He even studied how to climb over walls?

I didn't sleep well tonight, so I don't know if I can still make up for the missed update. If not, I'll do it tomorrow...

Did you learn anything from Chapter 209?

Ever since Yukino received Fushimi Makoto's message about bypassing the Great Firewall, she hasn't been able to focus on anything else.

At this time of day, she's usually either reading and studying or reviewing and refining her filming plans.

But right now, all she can think about is: How is Fushimi going to get over the wall?

Given their style of doing things, they definitely wouldn't let others see it.

But precisely because they can't be seen, something as simple as climbing over a wall can feel restrictive and uninhibited.

Yukino was constantly thinking about these things, which caused her to occasionally drift off into thought while chatting with her mother in the living room.

This, of course, did not escape Mrs. Yukinoshita's notice.

Fushimi Makoto's efforts over the past few months, the relationship between the mother and daughter has become harmonious.

Mrs. Yukinoshita could clearly feel her youngest daughter's progress, and even her temperament had changed quite a bit.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

Seeing that her daughter was distracted, she didn't mind and instead asked with concern, "Is something on your mind?"

"... Um."

Yukino hesitated for a moment, but then admitted it.

She knew she couldn't hide it from her mother.

She also didn't like lying to her mother.

So she readily admitted it.

But admitting it doesn't mean she has to explain everything.

She remembered something Fushimi Makoto had once told her, "Imagination is a very interesting thing. As far as I know, every normal person has moments when they imagine things."

Yukino has only admitted it now, without specifically explaining the matter, Mrs. Yukinoshita immediately thought of the filming topic that Fushimi Makoto and the other two had discussed earlier.

Considering her daughter's age and what she was about to do, the beautiful woman instinctively realized she had made a mistake. "You're worried about the filming plans for the new short film?"

Yukino slightly taken aback.

What that guy said made sense. Even one's own mother would instinctively fill in the blanks with what she considered reasonable speculations.

"Actually, I'm not worried about the filming schedule, but I am a little nervous... I definitely am." Yukino was speaking from the heart.

Mrs. Yukinoshita said gently, "Didn't Makoto and the others say they would do their best to help you? Makoto's short film was excellent, and with his help, you'll definitely be able to do well too."

"I also believe I can do it well," Yukino said confidently.

Mrs. Yukinoshita continued, "But this is your first time trying this field."

"Yes."

"No matter what, you just need to do your best, and I believe you can do it."

"Thank you."

Yukino a warmth in her heart, but also a little embarrassed.

Although she didn't need to lie and easily "fooled" the situation, that's just her personality, and she still felt somewhat embarrassed inside.

Mrs. Yukinoshita was unaware of all this. She touched her hair, feeling that it was getting late, and got up, saying, "I'm going back to my room to rest. You should go to sleep early too."

"OK."

Watching her mother return to her room, Yukino felt much more at ease.

She subconsciously picked up her phone and glanced at it; he still hadn't sent a message.

Have you encountered any difficulties?

Feeling uneasy, Yukino turned off the living room lights and went back to her room.

She waited inside for a while, when she suddenly heard a noise outside.

She quickly identified the source of the sound.

Right outside the window where the curtains were already drawn.

Yukino and quickly walked behind the curtains. Before she could even reach out, she heard someone knocking on the window. "Brother, open the door quickly, it's me."

Yukino: "..."

She expressionlessly pulled back the curtains and, sure enough, saw the face she had been longing for.

As the window opened, Fushimi Makoto landed steadily, while Yukino peeked outside and asked, "How did you manage to keep your balance while knocking on the window?"

The only thing you can climb out of the window is that tiny windowsill.

As she asked the question, she imagined Fushimi Makoto hanging on the windowsill with one hand and using the other to knock on the window.

How much arm strength does that require?

Furthermore, Fushimi Makoto is not the slender type; no matter how strong his arms are, his weight is still what it is.

This struck her as somewhat outrageous.

"I've studied climbing techniques," Fushimi Makoto replied, as always, offering the same jack-of-all-trades answer.

Yukino glared at him, then closed the window and drew the curtains, but her eyes involuntarily fell on him.

"Do I have something on me... Oh, you're wondering why I'm not wearing shoes, right? I took them off when I climbed up."

Fushimi Makoto spoke, he took out a shoe from each of the two pockets on either side of his pants.

That's not what Yukino cares about, of course.

However, since the other party has already used the word "studying," if I ask any further questions, he will most likely just be joking.

"I'll go get him his slippers."

Just as Yukino was about to leave, Fushimi Makoto grabbed her arm. "No need, your room is clean anyway, you don't need slippers."

"So what are you going to do later?" Yukino stopped.

"Later?"

"You still need to take a shower."

"I'll wear your shoes."

"Can."

It was a minor matter, and since Fushimi Makoto up his mind, Yukino didn't pursue it further.

The two sat down side by side in the room, Yukino said softly, "Wait until around 11 o'clock before you take a shower."

"Okay." Fushimi Makoto didn't ask why.

His decisiveness surprised Yukino: "I thought you would ask me why."

"I trust your plan," Fushimi Makoto said with a smile.

Yukino suddenly smiled charmingly, but her smile didn't seem gentle or happy, "You're being so well-behaved today?"

"This is your territory, I have to behave myself."

"What a utterly clumsy lie."

"That's just a joke, my lovely second young lady."

"I know I'm cute, so you don't need to repeat that all the time."

"Then I'll try to think of some even better words to praise you?"

I have no objection.

Yukino's smile faded, and her slender body suddenly leaned forward, Fushimi Makoto's shoulder.

When Fushimi Makoto turned to look at her, she said in a calm tone, "Don't touch me, let me lean on you for a while."

"Tired?" Fushimi Makoto adjusted his position slightly to make her more comfortable.

Yukino closed her eyes, her already adorable face becoming even more captivating under the light. "A little."

Fushimi Makoto did not continue the topic.

She was exhausted not only because it was her first time experiencing forbidden fruit on Tanabata, but also because she went to school with her "injured" body without taking a day off.

In addition, she is not the type to slack off, so she will definitely cheer up and work hard when she gets to school. After a while, she will naturally feel tired.

The room fell silent.

Neither of them spoke, but neither felt awkward.

About ten minutes later, Yukino slowly sat up straight and said softly, "Thanks."

"You can lean on me a little longer." Fushimi Makoto out and put his arm around her shoulder, letting her lean against him again.

Yukino didn't struggle, seemingly amused, a smirk playing on her lips. "Looks like you've been quite well-behaved today, you haven't made a move yet... Wait, what are you doing?"

Before she could finish speaking, she caught a glimpse of Fushimi Makoto about to take off his clothes, and she was so startled that she sat up abruptly.

"Just kidding." Fushimi Makoto lowered his hand from his clothes.

Yukino glared at him angrily, about to retort, but he reached out his hand again.

And this time, his target wasn't Yukino's shoulder.

It was that slender waist that could be encircled by one hand.

The two were now facing each other.
