Chapter 174 Feelings, Agree
Shimizu Yuzuki lowered her head, her lips pressed tightly together.
I was the last in my family to find out.
Even Xiao Ai knows.
Am I some kind of outsider?
She has taken care of Xiao Lin and Xiao Ai since they were little.
I usually know about things happening at home before my aunt does.
But now, before last night, everyone except herself already knew about Xiaozhen's body fragrance.
This made Shimizu Yuzuki feel like she was the most marginal person in the family.
This made her feel very sad because she loved her family and didn't want to be an outsider in it.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Just then, a pleasant, soft voice came from the side.
It was also accompanied by that familiar and pleasant scent that Shimizu Yuzuki had.
Shimizu Yuzuki looked up and found that Hoshino Makoto had come to her side.
Those moist, pitiful eyes were looking at her with concern.
Because there are no systematic emotional cues.
Hoshino had no idea what Shimizu Yuzuki was thinking.
All he could see was Shimizu Yuzuki suddenly lowering her head, her body trembling slightly.
With his intelligence of six points, Hoshino Makoto sensed that something was amiss.
[Looking into your worried eyes, Shimizu Yuzuki's affection level increases by 2, and her happiness level increases by 3.]
A system notification popped up.
Hoshino Makoto felt something was off.
Why is Yuzuki looking at me with worry that it might make her happy?
Moreover, just now, Sister Youyue lowered her head and her body trembled slightly, indicating that she was not in a good mood.
Did you think of something bad?
Is this related to my previous answer?
Hoshino Makoto reacted quickly.
Thinking back to my answer just now.
A sudden inspiration struck me, as if I had just thought of something.
"System, Yuzuki-nee, could it be that she acted that way just now because she was the last to find out about my body odor?"
I don't know, I don't understand, I'm not clear.
"I think that's how it should be."
The system did not provide an answer.
But Hoshino Makoto felt that what he thought was correct.
These days, I've spent time with Shimizu Yuzuki.
He could sense that although his older sister was a bit arrogant, she was actually a proud person at heart.
Such people strive to be number one in many things and don't want to fall behind.
Therefore, Shimizu Yuzuki felt sad after learning that she was the last person in her family to know about her body scent.
This discomfort stemmed from her pride, which prevented her from falling behind others.
As it turns out, Hoshino Makoto's idea was wrong, but the result was right.
That is, when Shimizu Yuzuki found out that she was the last person in the family to know about Hoshino Makoto's body fragrance, she did feel sad.
But it's because she loves this family, and she loves everyone in this family.
Shimizu Yuzuki doesn't want to be marginalized in this family.
This is why Shimizu Yuzuki is feeling unwell.
However, at this moment, Shimizu Yuzuki looked at Hoshino Makoto's worried eyes.
She could tell that the worry in her younger brother's eyes was genuine.
This made Shimizu Yuzuki feel as sad as winter snow meeting summer sun. In just a few seconds, her emotions returned to their usual calm.
She said, "It's okay, Xiao Zhen. I just felt a little unwell because I stayed up late last night."
Shimizu Yuzuki raised her hand and gently ruffled Hoshino Makoto's hair.
"Xiao Zhen, I have one last question for you."
Shimizu Yuzuki looked at the boy's fair and charming face.
She felt the silky smoothness between her fingers and said softly:
"Xiao Zhen, besides your aunt and sisters, who else knows about your natural fragrance?"
Hoshino Makoto gave Shimizu Yuzuki a satisfactory answer.
"Only my aunt and sister know this; no one else knows."
[Shimizu Yuzuki's mood has improved, happiness level +2]
Why?!
A system notification suddenly popped up.
Hoshino Makoto's eyes widened slightly.
Before he could think further, Shimizu Yuzuki's voice came again.
"Can Xiao Zhen do something for her sister?"
Hoshino Makoto looked up at Shimizu Yuuki: "Sister, you tell me."
"Xiao Zhen, please don't tell anyone else besides your aunt and sisters about your natural fragrance, okay?"
Shimizu Yuzuki lowered her head and looked at Hoshino Makoto, who was sitting in a chair.
As if she had thought of something, her lips pursed slightly, then slowly opened again.
"Of course, if Xiaozhen has a partner in the future, we can tell her this."
Huh? Sister Youyue, aren't you thinking a bit too far ahead?
. . . . . .
The weather was overcast and gloomy.
On the road, in a car that is moving.
Kitagawa Mai shifted her gaze from the window to the phone in front of her.
"Xiaohui, what's wrong? Why did you video call me? Is there something you need?"
On the phone screen was Megumi Kato, who was video chatting with Mai Kitagawa.
Just now, Kato Kome suddenly video-called her.
"Hey, Mai, we're friends. Can't I video chat with you?"
On the other end of the video call, Kato Koe's mournful voice came through.
"In the days you weren't here, I was all alone in the food section."
"Mai, I'm so lonely, I miss you so much."
A helpless expression appeared on Kitagawa Mai's pretty face.
"Xiao Hui, don't be so mushy, I can't take it."
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I'll be there soon."
Kitagawa Mai glanced at the buildings outside the car window.
She'll be at her senior's house in a few minutes.
"Mai, you have no heart, you are so heartless."
"I really hung up."
Kato Kome on the other end of the video call then took it seriously.
"Okay, okay, I'm not joking anymore."
On Kitagawa Mai's phone, Kato Kome said:
"Mai, how did your part-time job go yesterday? Nothing went wrong, right?"
Kitagawa Mai recalled her experience at her senior Shimizu Yuzuki's house yesterday.
She shook her head: "Nothing unexpected happened, everything went smoothly."
On the other end of the video call, Kato Kome nodded affirmatively.
"As Mai's friend, I'm relieved."
Kitagawa Mai then understood why her friend had sent this video call.
But before she could feel anything, Kato Koe's words came through the phone again.
"Mai, let me tell you, do you still remember that handsome boy?"
Kato Koe said with some regret, "I don't know why, but that boy didn't come to the convenience store yesterday or this morning."
Kitagawa Mai's heart, which was just about to be moved, instantly calmed down.
She knew who Kato Koe was talking about—her senior's younger brother, that extremely handsome boy.
