CHAPTER 90 : A different Yukino

When Wu Shen arrived home by subway, it was already past ten in the morning. Returning to his familiar building, Wu Shen was thinking about preparing lunch for Mai, and then rushed back to school during his lunch break.

But when he approached the building, he was surprised to find Yukino standing at the door of the building, constantly looking outside, as if waiting for someone.

"Strange, why didn't Yukinoshita-san go to school? What are you doing standing outside the building in the cold?" Wu Shen scratched his head and continued to approach the building with surprised thoughts.

When Wu Shen walked to a certain distance, Yukino, who was looking around, immediately caught sight of his figure and then hurriedly walked towards Wu Shen with increasing momentum, as if a cat had blown off her fur.

"Tell me, what did you do last night?" Yukino was obviously much shorter than Wu Shen, but he was under the illusion that Yukino was looking down on him.

"Didn't I tell you there's something urgent at home?" Wu Shen couldn't understand and still had a confused expression on his face.

"Compared to that, Yukino, don't you need to go to school? Why are you standing in front of the apartment?"

"Of course. I'm waiting for you to come back."

"Waiting for me to come back?" Wu Shen pointed at himself, showing an unbelievable look.

"No... the main thing is that I have something to ask you." Yukino realized she was getting angry and about to spill the beans, so she quickly changed the subject.

"I need to know urgently now. I contacted you at midnight last night and this morning, but why haven't you heard back?" Although Yukino's attitude is still as cold as ever, her eyes looking at Wu Shen are as sharp as steel needles.

"That." Wu Shen touched his nose, took out the destroyed cell phone from his pocket, and said timidly: "Last night the phone was accidentally soaked in water and was completely destroyed." Just now Wu Shen also said that he was a little surprised why Yukino had to wait for him, but now he probably understood based on Yukino's words.

It was probably because Yukino was never able to contact him, so he was worried that something might happen to him, so he waited at the door of the building. I must say that although Yukino seems cold towards people, she is actually the type who surprisingly cares about the people she meets.

"You can actually throw your cell phone into the water. How stupid and stupid are you? A monkey's hands and feet are more flexible than yours." Yukino sighed, her aura became a little weaker and her mood relaxed a lot.

Although Yukino's words were a little venomous, Wu Shen didn't have any temper. After all, although his words were very harsh, they were actually a manifestation of concern for people.

People who don't understand Yukino's character may alienate her for this reason. But if you try to understand Yukino deeply as a person, you will find the soft heart hidden in the hard armor of ice.

"Yukinoshita-san, I'm sorry for bothering you today. Even a good student like you is late." Wu Shen thanked Yukino.

"It doesn't matter, it's just an absence." Yukino lowered her head and said nothing for a long time. After a while, he suddenly raised his head.

What happened? Why does it feel like Yukino's aura completely changed in an instant?

"One more thing, call me Yukino from now on." After holding back those words, Yukino's face and expression became calm again.

"Ah...ah?" Wu Shen was surprised by the sudden request. He never expected that with Yukino's character and her current relationship, she would actually ask Wu Shen to change her title.

"Although we are not friends, we have a social relationship and can be considered acquaintances for now. And as neighbors now, there is no need for us to remain so alienated," Yukino explained calmly without any emotional waves.

"Is that... Yukino?" Wu Shen tried to call her. With Utaha's experience, Wu Shen became much more skilled in this situation.

"Yes." Yukino nodded, feeling relieved as if she had completed some task, and showed a slight smile.

"Then I'll go upstairs first. I still have a lot of things to sort out," Wu Shen said as he entered the building. Wu Shen still had many things to do, including preparing lunch for Mai, changing his school uniform, and packing his backpack.

"I will wait for you here."

"Do you want to come with me?" Wu Shen was startled for a moment after hearing this and temporarily stopped walking up the stairs.

"Anyway, I've been waiting for so long, so I don't mind this moment. Isn't it possible?" Yukino asked calmly.

"It's not impossible, but it's a little cold outside after all. Let's go up and wait." After saying this, Wu Shen continued to go up. During this period, he had some indescribable doubts in his heart.

It turns out that he didn't come home all night, so why did Yukino's attitude towards him become so positive? It's like a 180 degree reversal. There is a great illusion that "one day apart is like three autumns apart". Wu Shen was a little uncomfortable about this.

"Dad, I'm going to tell you something shocking!" As soon as she got home, Mai ran up to her with a serious expression on her face.

"What big microphone? You're not a spy. You've watched a lot of spy movies, right?" Wu Shen patted Mai's little head and didn't take it seriously.

Originally thinking that Mai was starving, Wu Shen entered the kitchen first, only to find washed dishes and chopsticks inside. Wu Shen, who was more familiar with the layout of the kitchen, quickly realized which pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar had been touched. He even had a lunch covered in plastic wrap in the fridge. It appears to be Yukino's work.

"That's so thoughtful." Wu Shen scratched his head, a little perplexed. Originally, I planned to go back and show off my skills, but in the end, Yukino took care of everything.

There was nothing to do in the kitchen, so Wu Shen planned to quickly change his clothes, grab his backpack and leave. After all, it wouldn't be good to keep Yukino waiting.

As a result, as soon as he left the kitchen, Mai entangled him again, and he still seemed to have some important information.

"Dad, I really have a big secret to tell you!"

"What secret?" Wu Shen asked absently as he packed his backpack. He subconsciously didn't take it very seriously. He just thought it was Mai who was playing with him.

"Sister Yukino and Yuyin have admired daddy for a long time!"

"Pfft! Haha..." Wu Shen almost burst out laughing and hit Mai on the head.

"Mai-chan, if you want to make a joke, you can find someone better. Please give me something that is authentic and trustworthy. What you said is very outrageous."

"I swear on my little pink bunny, I never told any lies! Last night I stayed at Sister Yukino's house, but I heard with my own ears, Sister Yukino and Amane-chan are discussing a plan on how to get closer to Daddy!" Mai picked up the doll that Miss UMR helped get from the department store a few days ago, blinking and responding in a very serious manner.
