Moreover, to Banami's slight surprise, Wakaho stayed obediently behind him without causing any trouble, making him wonder if someone had hacked into the girl's LINE account and sent the photo secretly.
However, the possibility was so low that he couldn't deceive himself, so he stopped thinking about it.
Even when she arrived at Haneoka, Wakaho remained well-behaved, which made it very clear to Banami why Wakame always doted on this younger sister.
After about two hours, Hanami finally led her around Haneoka, then bought two bento boxes and went to the rooftop of Haneoka. Hanami asked, "How was it?"
The early spring sun was already very bright, and when it fell on the young girl, it gave her an even stronger sense of vitality and renewal. After thinking for a moment, Ruo Sui said, "It seems to be no different from the high schools in Kumamoto?"
Hearing this, Banami couldn't help but laugh. She then twisted open the cap of the drink and handed it to the girl, saying with a smile, "After all, schools are the places with the smallest class differences. Most schools in the world are pretty much the same."
However, as long as you don't go to places like the Moon Forest to see it.
“There are also differences,” the girl sitting in the chair said in a light tone.
"What?" Banami asked, puzzled.
“At my school in Kumamoto, no boy helped me open the lid,” Wakaho said, taking a small sip of her chilled green tea.
These words seemed to shatter the previously pleasant atmosphere. There were only two people on the rooftop, which gave Banami a perfect opportunity to probe the other party's thoughts.
"That can't be right. After all, you look very cute, Wakaho. Doesn't anyone have suitors?" Banami said politely.
But Ruo Sui smiled happily and said, "Brother-in-law, do you also think I'm cute?"
Banai was somewhat speechless. He could talk nonsense and flirt with Miaomeng at will, but he had to be extremely cautious with this girl in front of him, both for Miaomeng's sake and for the girl herself.
“As your family, I think you’re very cute and that other boys would like you,” Hanami replied.
He emphasized his family member status, but of course, the premise was that he was his brother-in-law.
But the girl didn't seem disappointed. Instead, she said softly, "Yes, some boys are pursuing me, but... I'm a little scared."
"Afraid?" Banami asked.
Ruo Sui nodded gently: "I know that my parents are good people, my sister is a good person, my brother-in-law and Miss Xiangzi are all good people, but I have also met some very bad people. They all grew up in Kumamoto, so why can they sell their land and hurt the people around them at will?"
Brother-in-law, I... I don't dare let people I don't know get close to.
Banami understood what the other person meant a little. She had witnessed both the good and the evil of human nature. Both of these situations were too extreme and left a deep impression on the girl's mind, even affecting her views on friendship.
“But if you do this, you’ll make your circle of friends narrower and narrower,” Banami advised.
As a result, Ruo Sui smiled slightly and said, "Although I say this, it's only one of the reasons. The main reason I don't have a boyfriend is because... I already have someone I like."
Banami pursed her lips and said bluntly, "What did you mean by the photos you sent me last night?"
Ruo Sui didn't panic or deny it. She simply said, "I said, this was uncontrollable. In my brother-in-law's mind, will he think I'm a shameless girl?"
Banami couldn't help but say, "You know I'm your brother-in-law too?!"
Ruo Sui looked at the boy quietly, as if she were telling him something: "But when I fell in love with you, you weren't my brother-in-law yet."
The boy's eyes widened slightly, but he heard Ruo Sui say, "Back then, you were just Miss Xiangzi's boyfriend, but you stood in front of me when those people were causing trouble for Dad."
Although no one taught me, I know that this is what it feels like to like someone.
I know you already have Miss Xiangzi, so after you left, I kept trying to give you up.
But the more other boys liked me, the more time passed….”
Wakaho gently raised her head and looked at the boy, saying, "The more I like you, the more I like you, Hachimi-kun. Because of you, I've learned to do things that bad girls do. When I can't sleep at night, I think about what you look like, Hachimi-kun, and then... I do some shameful things."
"Hanami-kun, do you know how much I've been looking forward to this trip, how much I've been looking forward to seeing you again?" Wakaho's breathing became a little rapid, perhaps because of nervousness.
Such a direct confession made Banami's heart pound, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "But I am your brother-in-law."
"That's why, brother-in-law, you've shown me that you're not just my brother-in-law, which has made me a little... carried away," Ruo Sui said softly.
"What do you mean?" Banai asked, somewhat puzzled.
"At first, I just wanted to see you a little more, just like before, secretly keeping my feelings hidden in my heart. I thought that if I came to Tokyo to study, I could not only live with my sister, but also see you more often."
He almost blushed when his love was expressed to him like that, but he kept a straight face so as not to make the girl think too much.
"Because I know that you, Hanami-kun, already have Ms. Shoko."
"And you, Banami-kun, just as I thought, will appear in front of me to help me when I encounter difficulties."
When Ruo Sui mentioned that he had chased away the thugs, Banami thought to himself, "He just wanted to act like a domineering CEO; he really didn't think that much about it."
"Brother-in-law, do you know that it was because you didn't know that the girl being harassed was me, but you still reached out to help, that moment made me, who had previously doubted my own feelings and who had doubted that the great hero in my mind was just a figment of my imagination, finally understand."
"He really is right here beside me," Ruo Sui said, her voice slightly excited.
"Even so, I felt that my great hero already had a suitable lover, and the two of them were a perfect match. There was no room for me to interfere. At that time, I really didn't plan to do anything, because I knew I couldn't compare to Miss Xiangzi..."
Upon hearing this, Banami seemed to understand what Wakaho was about to say.
"Then, Hanami became my brother-in-law. You were with my sister, and... with Miss Shoko. Brother-in-law is a womanizer."
No, when you call me a womanizer, can you please not be so happy?
"Knowing that my brother-in-law is actually a womanizer, I... I'm actually very happy. Does that prove that I still have a chance to get involved with him?"
"It's my brother-in-law's fault. He's the one who let me discover this secret, which aroused desires I shouldn't have had."
Perhaps she had talked too much, because the girl's mouth was a little dry. She moistened her lips slightly, making them look even more rosy.
It would be a lie to say that Banai was unhappy about being confessed to like that, but he couldn't help but think about how Wakame felt.
Unlike the three sisters, Miao Meng absolutely did not want her younger sister to get involved with her boyfriend.
"Have you considered your sister's feelings?" Banami hit the nail on the head.
"As long as my sister doesn't know, isn't that enough?" Ruo Sui said sincerely.
Banai was so angry at the girl that she laughed. What she meant was that as long as you're not arrested, it's not a crime.
"Do you think that's possible? And how do you know I'll cooperate with you?" Banami said with a smile.
Ruosui pursed her lips slightly and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm currently at the age of rebellion."
"Whether it's my parents, my sister, or anyone else, they've all said I'm a very well-behaved person since I was little."
I don't dislike compliments because they make them happy.
But I'm going through my rebellious phase now, and the only thing I've ever wanted to rebel against in my life so far is falling for my brother-in-law.
Banami's tone hardened slightly as she said, "You'll regret this in the future!"
"Will my sister regret it in the future?"
"I..."
"If my sister doesn't regret it, then I won't regret it either. I won't regret liking someone. Never."
Perhaps only at this moment can one see that Wakaho is actually a member of the Yutenji family, and her stubbornness is exactly the same as that of Uncle Kumamoto and Nyanmu.
"Brother-in-law, I... won't get in your way, and I won't do anything on my own initiative. I just want to like you and wait for the day you like me back."
*****
Ultimately, Banami failed to persuade the other party, or rather, she was subtly persuaded by the other party.
Well, to put it bluntly, he was just too soft-hearted. He really couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh to a girl who liked him.
Instead, her calm words resonated in Banami's heart.
"Brother-in-law, I'm going through a rebellious phase right now."
"The only thing I've ever wanted to rebel against in my life is falling in love with my brother-in-law."
After returning to the apartment from Haneoka, Wakaho went back to her room, closed the door, and didn't come out. She seemed to understand that Hanami didn't know how to face her now.
As she herself said, she is really very "well-behaved". Even when she makes things difficult for others, she will leave them enough space to save face. This is different from the aggressive Miao Meng.
Finally, Miaomeng returned, and she seemed rather excited.
"How about we go to Tokyo Tower today?" Hanami asked.
"Yes, Mom and Dad are very happy. In fact, as long as I'm around, how could they be unhappy?" Miao Meng said proudly.
"By the way, Xiaosui, how was your trip to Yuqiu today?" she asked immediately.
"Yes, everything is fine. Your sister was tired from shopping and fell asleep as soon as she got back," said Banami.
“Oh, I see. That makes sense. After all, not everyone is like me, able to come to Tokyo whenever they want,” Miao Meng said with considerable pride.
Initially, Banami looked somewhat worried, but upon hearing his girlfriend boast about him like that, he couldn't help but laugh.
Suddenly, he thought of something, immediately picked up Miaomeng, his eyes filled with desire.
Miao Meng blushed slightly and said, "Why...why are you in such a hurry? I wanted to rest today."
"I can't rest. When I see Miaomengqin, I want her."
Miao Meng's ears burned from hearing this, and she said coquettishly, "You're such a pervert. How does Toyokawa Shoko usually put up with you?"
"I only treat you like this, Meow Dream."
"Oh right, just take it as me believing you."
But soon, Banami made Nyanmu believe it.
"You...you...if Xiaosui finds out I'm this humiliated, I'll die on top of you, I'm telling you," Miaomeng said, seemingly annoyed.
And that's exactly what Banami's purpose is: Can you really stand seeing the person you like being intimate with your sister? If you can't stand it, then give up as soon as possible.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but the wind stopped and the clouds dispersed. Miaomeng gently hugged the boy and whispered, "Luckily, I didn't take a shower when I got back, otherwise I would have been covered in sweat again."
"My girlfriend smells wonderful all over." Banai said sweet nothings in a formulaic way. She could say such things to her older sister without batting an eye, but she was always speechless when talking to her younger sister.
However, things didn't go as planned. Soon, Banami's phone received a photo, which was still of Wakaho.
"Brother-in-law, I bought this black lingerie set specifically before coming to Tokyo. Do I think it's a bit too mature for me?"
It seems that the intimacy between Banami and Nyanmu did not provoke the other party.
"Why do you look so miserable? Did Toyokawa Shoko call you home for dinner?" Miaomeng asked.
After a moment of internal struggle, Banami finally let out a soft sigh and said, "There's something I need to tell you, but don't get excited yet."
"?" Miao Meng was a little confused, wondering why the boy had suddenly become so serious.
“Your sister likes me. She confessed to me in Haneoka today,” Banami said bluntly.
"Huh?!" Meow Dream's head buzzed, as if it refused to accept the other party's information.
*****
On the bed, Ruo Sui gripped her phone tightly, seemingly waiting for a reply from the boy, whether it be scolding or praising, anything at all, but in the end, nothing came.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but just as Ruo Sui was about to fall asleep, there was a gentle knock on the door.
After getting out of bed, Ruo Sui subconsciously straightened her clothes in front of the mirror before opening the door.
"Sister... Sister?" But what she saw was Ruomai with a dark face.
"Come out with me, I have something to say to you, Banami." Miaomeng unusually didn't give her sister a friendly look, and turned to leave after saying that.
Ruo Sui seemed to realize something as well, pursed her lips, and then followed her out.
Banami was already sitting at the dining table, with Nyanko sitting next to her. Then she pointed to the seat opposite her and said, "You sit there."
The living room suddenly seemed to transform into a small courtroom, and Ruo Sui became the prisoner being interrogated.
For Ruo Sui, who had always been a well-behaved child, this moment brought a strange sense of novelty.
As she put it, she is currently in her rebellious phase.
After her younger sister sat down, Miaomeng bluntly asked, "I heard from Banami that you confessed to him on the Haneoka rooftop today?"
Wakaho looked at Hanami with a hint of resentment in her eyes, as if blaming her for telling her sister what had happened.
Didn't I tell you? Just don't let your sister know.
Ruomai accurately caught the meaning in her sister's resentful gaze, slammed her hand on the table, startling Banami who was standing next to her: "What do you mean by that look? If Banami hadn't told me herself, how long were you going to keep it from me?"
Seeing that Miaomeng seemed about to lose her temper, Banami quickly calmed her down, saying, "Don't get agitated, don't get agitated. The child is still young and doesn't understand. We can teach her slowly. Don't be violent."
Just as Miao was about to say that Ruo Sui was no longer young, she heard her younger sister say even more resentfully, "Brother-in-law, I'm not young anymore. In Kumamoto, people my age are already getting married."
"Wow, Kumamoto is going all out?" Banami exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening, her tone even carrying a hint of envy.
The result was that Miaomeng stomped on his foot hard.
Banai coughed lightly and said seriously, "Wakaho, don't interrupt. You know that's not what your sister meant."
