Chapter 148 At the Dining Table, Caring About One's Image
Hoshino Makoto shook his head.
"Sister, there's nothing on your face."
Hoshino Makoto continued:
"I just feel like you're not in a good mood today, sister."
The next moment, Hoshino saw the system notification about Shimizu Ai appear in front of him again.
[When Shimizu Ai heard what you said, she was surprised that you could tell she wasn't in a good mood today. Surprise level +2]
[Shimizu Ai felt this was a sign that you were paying attention to her, and thinking about this, her surprise turned into joy, joy level +2]
"I didn't expect you to figure it out, Xiao Zhen."
Shimizu Ai didn't speak, but Shimizu Yuzuki did.
A slight smile played on Shimizu Yuzuki's cool and elegant face.
She glanced at Shimizu Ai sitting opposite her, then turned to look at Hoshino Makoto sitting next to her.
"Xiao Zhen, do you want to guess why Xiao Ai is in a bad mood today?"
Shimizu Yuzuki looked at Hoshino Makoto and her eyebrows curved slightly.
His words carried a hint of malicious mockery.
"Big sister, why are you telling Xiaozhen this?"
Before Hoshino could say anything.
Then, sitting opposite her, Shimizu Ai said to Shimizu Yuzuki, somewhat embarrassed and angry.
"What's wrong, little Ai? Does your older sister feel embarrassed?"
Shimizu Yuzuki turned around and looked at Shimizu Ai.
The teasing look on her cool, pretty face became even more pronounced.
Under Shimizu Yuzuki's gaze, Shimizu Ai, who had just been furious, instantly became stammering.
Shimizu Ai glanced at Hoshino Makoto, who was sitting next to her older sister, Shimizu Yuzuki.
She said, with a hint of embarrassment but a stubborn retort, "What's there to be embarrassed about?"
"This is my own business, and it has nothing to do with Xiaozhen."
Shimizu Yuzuki looked at her third sister, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.
The expression on her pretty face gradually changed from teasing to mocking.
"Xiao Ai, how come this has nothing to do with Xiao Zhen?"
As Shimizu Yuzuki looked at Shimizu Ai, the teasing on her face became even more obvious.
"Xiao Zhen will be going back to school after this spring break."
"Why not use your actions as the older sister as a negative example for Xiaozhen? Isn't that a good approach?"
Ai Shimizu shook her head so hard it was like a rattle drum.
How could an older sister who doesn't do well in school tell her beloved younger brother that she needs to take extra classes during spring break?
This really damages her image in Xiao Zhen's eyes.
"And even if Xiao Ai doesn't want to tell Xiao Zhen."
Shimizu Yuzuki watched as her younger sister shook her head in refusal.
She glanced at the time displayed on the wall.
"It's already past eight o'clock."
"Mai will be here soon, and Makoto will find out then too."
Shimizu Yuzuki leaned back in her chair, her hands clasped in front of her full, rounded breasts.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Shimizu Ai and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Xiao Ai is acting like this now, is it because she cares about how Xiao Zhen sees her?"
My sister guessed it right!
Ai Shimizu stammered even more, unsure of what to say in response to Yuuki Shimizu's words.
However, the next moment, as if she had given up all hope, she stood up and said directly:
"What are you talking about, sister? Why should I care about this?"
"Isn't it just because I'm not good at studying that my aunt asked you to hire a tutor for me?"
After finishing speaking, Ai Shimizu immediately continued:
"I'm finished eating, I'm going upstairs now."
Looking at Shimizu Ai's hurried and somewhat guilty back view.
Shimizu Yuzuki turned around and looked at Hoshino Makoto sitting next to her.
Looking at his younger brother's fair, anime-like face.
Perhaps teasing Shimizu Ai just now made her feel much more relaxed.
Or perhaps it was Hoshino Makoto sitting quietly beside him that was so captivating.
On a whim, Shimizu Yuzuki, who usually takes great care of her image as the eldest sister, actually reached out and pinched Hoshino Makoto's cheek.
[Shimizu Yuzuki finds it very comfortable to pinch your cheeks; she likes it a lot, liking value +2]
[Shimizu Yuzuki smelled your fragrance and found it very pleasant, which greatly improved her mood. Happiness level +2]
But soon, just two or three seconds later, Shimizu Yuzuki realized what she had done.
How could I have done such a thing to Xiaozhen?
As the eldest sister, I should be mindful of my image and maintain my authority in front of my younger siblings.
Shimizu Yuzuki subconsciously wanted to withdraw her right hand that was pinching Hoshino Makoto's cheek.
No, if I were to take it back so hastily now, wouldn't that make me seem guilty?
Thinking of this, Shimizu Yuzuki, who was about to withdraw her right hand, continued to pinch Hoshino Makoto's cheek.
And feeling the soft, smooth sensation coming from her fingers, Shimizu Yuzuki couldn't help but increase her pressure a little.
But simply pinching Hoshino Makoto's cheeks like that is clearly not enough.
Shimizu Yuzuki cleared her throat and said:
"Xiao Zhen, did you hear what Xiao Ai just said?"
Hoshino Makoto nodded, but because Shimizu Yuzuki was pinching his cheek.
The nodding gesture was small, but it was still noticed by Shimizu Yuzuki.
"Since you heard that, Xiao Zhen, as your older sister, I have something to tell you."
Shimizu Yuzuki pinched Hoshino Makoto's cheek.
Her beautiful eyes fell on the pale, youthful face of the boy in front of her.
[Shimizu Yuzuki looks at your face up close and thinks it's perfect, without any flaws. Likes +2]
[Shimizu Yuzuki felt a sense of pleasure. You've actually become her younger brother! Love value +2, Pleasure value +2]
Shimizu Yuzuki looked at Hoshino Makoto sitting in front of her.
Her usually aloof and beautiful eyes lingered on Hoshino Makoto's fair face.
It's so beautiful, so cute! I even pinched Xiao Zhen's cheek at such close range.
How can there be such a handsome young man in this world who is flawless?
And this handsome young man became my younger brother.
Yuzuki Shimizu, thankfully you didn't object when your aunt wanted to bring Makoto over.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Hoshino Makoto looked at the system notification in front of him.
Then she looked at Shimizu Yuzuki, who had suddenly fallen silent.
The way my older sister looks now, it's like she's been attracted to me.
No way, Yuyue-nee, your willpower shouldn't be that weak.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something else."
Shimizu Yuzuki's beautiful eyes met Hoshino Makoto's eyes.
She quickly moved away as if feeling very guilty, and even her right hand, which was pinching Hoshino Makoto's cheek, subconsciously loosened its grip.
Shimizu Yuzuki took two deep breaths and returned to the main topic.
"You heard what Xiao Ai said about Xiao Zhen. She's not doing well in school, so my aunt asked me to find her a tutor during spring break."
"Xiao Zhen, you'll be going back to school after this spring break. You can't be like Xiao Ai then, okay?"
Shimizu Yuzuki earnestly admonished Hoshino Makoto in front of her.
"I understand, sister. I won't do that."
Third Sister Shimizu loves that she got up so early this morning.
It seems it really is because of tutoring classes.
Hoshino felt a little sorry for Shimizu Ai.
Just how bad were my third sister's grades at school?
That's why Auntie asked Sister Youyue to find a tutor for Sister Xiaoai during the spring break.
