While Yukino was confused, she completely forgot that she was still pouring tea.
At this moment, the tea was almost overflowing.
"Xiaoxue, it's about to overflow!" Yui said hurriedly.
"I-I'm sorry," Yukino said, realizing what was happening.
Fortunately, Yui reminded them in time, so it was only slightly full.
"It's alright. Xiaoxue can be confused sometimes!" Yui smiled, unconcerned.
"Su Jun, this is yours."
Yukino handed another cup of tea to Su Qing.
"You brewed it very well; you must have some knowledge of tea ceremony, right?"
After reviewing it, Su Qingpin gave it a very high rating.
"Yes, I started learning in elementary school."
Unlike the attitude of Hiroki Tani.
Yukino's voice was noticeably less calm in response to Su Qing's praise.
The others could detect a hint of...happiness?
However, being praised is a pleasant thing in itself.
That doesn't seem like a big deal.
"Elementary school? Then Xiaoxue must have had a tough childhood with little time for entertainment."
Outsiders will only ever care about how many achievements you make.
Only those who truly care about you will appreciate the effort you put in behind the scenes.
A gentle light flashed in Yukino's eyes. "It wasn't that hard. I'm still far behind my sister."
"You have an older sister?"
This was the first time Hikigaya and Ayaka had heard about this.
"Yes, Yukino Yukinoshita. You should be able to find it."
Yukino had no intention of hiding it from the others.
"Then I'll try..."
Yukino said it was okay to search, so Hachiman couldn't contain his curiosity and started searching for the name "Yukinoshita Haruno".
Then... a bunch of entries.
"They're frighteningly excellent..."
Hikigaya gasped; the family heir was truly something else.
"But you're also very talented..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hachiman realized he had said something inappropriate and then sincerely comforted him.
"Thank you, but you don't need to comfort me. I know the gap between my sister and me..."
Yukino simply shook her head gently.
Offering comfort will only widen the gap between her and Yang Nai, and it's pointless.
but……
The fact that Hikigaya could say something like that shows that the other person's personality has really improved a lot.
"This isn't just a consolation; isn't it a fact that Xiaoxue is amazing?"
Yui said from the side.
Although she had just curiously searched for Yukino Yukinoshita, she was also somewhat shocked by the various awards she had received.
but!
It still couldn't shake Xiaoxue's place in her heart!
“Besides, your sister was born a few years earlier than you, so you weren’t on the same starting line to begin with,” Caijia added.
"But the fact remains that there is a gap..."
Despite saying that, Yukino felt inexplicably better after receiving comfort from the others.
It's not about giving up as the gap widens, but about having the confidence and courage to close the gap.
So... offering comfort isn't entirely without positive effects.
Yukino suddenly understood things she had never understood before.
And these are things you can never experience when you're alone.
"A gap? I don't think so."
Su Qing seems to have a different opinion.
"What do you mean?"
Several people cast curious glances at them.
"The gap needs to be judged by standards. The most direct way is the amount of the exam score, and the amount of the score depends on the answer and the grader."
Different graders naturally have different evaluation criteria.
Even so, the criteria used by graders are still within a certain range, right?
Yukino hesitated.
“But we’re not taking an exam right now,” Su Qing said with a smile, taking a sip of tea. “I think you’re better than your sister.”
"So what are your standards?"
Yukino suddenly felt nervous.
“There are some things your sister doesn’t have, but you do.”
The tea in the cup was swirling.
Just like Yukino's heart at this moment.
……
Chapter 206 Tea with snacks
"So... what is it?"
Yui Yuigahama blinked, a blank look appearing on her face.
She thought that she hadn't understood what Xiaoqing was saying again, after all, this wasn't the first or second time.
However, Yui noticed that the others, including Yukino Yukinoshita, all looked puzzled, and realized that this time it wasn't a problem with her intelligence.
so far so good.
Yui Yuigahama felt a sense of relief for some reason.
"I have it, but my sister doesn't?"
Yukino Yukinoshita repeated it in confusion, but couldn't figure it out.
From childhood to adulthood, my older sister has always been more outstanding than me.
And what you have, the other party naturally has too.
She couldn't think of anything that was unique to her.
Most importantly, how does Su Qing know that Yukinoshita Haruno definitely doesn't have it?
“You have everyone in the Service Department as friends, but your sister doesn’t,” Su Qing said matter-of-factly.
"Isn't that obvious?" Hachiman Hikigaya muttered weakly.
"So, according to you, my sister knows far more people than I do, and she has more than she doesn't, right?"
Although Yukino Yukinoshita didn't quite understand Su Qing's logic, she subconsciously felt that Su Qing was being cunning, but the slight upturn of the corners of her mouth betrayed her current mood.
[I have everyone as friends, but my sister doesn't? It's like a child showing off their friends... But, not bad at all.]
This wasn't a particularly heavy topic to begin with.
Therefore, the others thought that Su Qing was teasing Yukino Yukinoshita, using humor to comfort her.
However, Su Qing didn't seem to think that way. "That's different."
Yukino Yukinoshita was about to ask what was different, but Yui Yuigahama interrupted mysteriously at that moment:
"Um... by the way, are you guys hungry?"
"School's just let out, right?" Hachiman Hikigaya said, glancing at the clock on the classroom wall.
"No, it's just that the literature club often has those scenes of people drinking tea and eating snacks together, right?"
"This is the Service Department."
"Ah, right... it's the Service Club, but I feel like it's not much different from the Literature Club when there are no requests..."
After Yui Yuigahama called out the wrong club name for Yuki, she touched her hair sheepishly.
Yukino Yukinoshita has corrected other people's statements countless times.
Seriously, why does everyone think this is the arts and literature department?
Yukino Yukinoshita sat upright in her seat, and she was the last to pour herself tea.
After taking another sip of tea, she began to slowly explain:
"Actually, she brought some snacks today, and since the weather is getting cooler, I thought I'd make some tea..."
"Bingo! So the main character is about to make his appearance."
After Yui Yuigahama finished speaking, she couldn't wait to take out several exquisite bags from her schoolbag.
One, two, three... exactly five, corresponding to the five people in the Service Department.
"Everyone gets a share."
Yui Yuigahama stood up, stretched out her arms, and quickly placed five bags in front of everyone.
"Oh... thank you."
"Thank you, Yuihama."
Hachiman Hikigaya and Saika Totsuka both expressed their gratitude, but before the former could react, the bag was already in front of him.
do not know why.
Both the dessert and Yui Yuigahama are quite good on their own.
However, once combined, Hachiman Hikigaya's mind would conjure up some kind of terrifying biological weapon!
To this day, Hachiman Hikigaya still doesn't know how Su Qing managed to eat so much of Yuihama's "charcoal."
"I'm saying, could these desserts be handmade by her?"
Hachiman Hikigaya tugged at Su Qing's sleeve, his serious expression suggesting a life-or-death situation.
"That's quite possible, after all, she just told me this morning that she got up early to do something."
Su Qing quickly recalled what Yui had said that morning.
"Isn't that terrible...?"
Upon hearing this, Hachiman Hikigaya's heart sank instantly.
He swallowed hard, glancing nervously at the bag of snacks he had picked up, weighing it in his hand... and then his lips twitched slightly.
It seemed that this weight was an unbearable burden for him.
However... it was someone else's good intention at the time.
On the bright side, if I get sick from eating something, I can take a day off the next day.
Haha... So he really should thank Yui Yuigahama!
"The cookies look really good. Did you get up early this morning just to make these?"
