Chapter 172 If it's Ling's younger brother~
I accompanied Yukino to visit the aquarium and gave my senior's New World Aquarium a good rating.
The students of Shuchiin University are indeed extraordinary. Don't assume that a prestigious academy like Shuchiin can only produce politicians.
Their graduates are incredibly diverse, with many holding high-ranking positions in various sectors including business, politics, military, police, and medicine.
As the ancients said, "Like begets like," and the sons of merchants are mostly merchants, and the children of politicians are mostly politicians.
But some say that wealth doesn't last three generations, and even the most honest officials don't reach the end. Wealthy people are generally busy with their careers, thus neglecting their children's education.
The reason why Shuchiin University can attract so many high-level people is precisely because they have professional teaching and better education.
The five senior students who were able to get the extracurricular activity of independent entrepreneurship were not simple characters, so Uchiha Ryo didn't really care about the task assigned by Shuchiin Academy. He just filled in "excellent" or "above average" for them.
As for Yukino Yukinoshita, she seriously explored the entire aquarium and began analyzing it from various perspectives, as this was her first task upon joining the student council.
After visiting their first destination, the two had to go back to the apartment area to change clothes. After all, Yukinoshita Haruno's bar was not like the ordinary music bar in Ijichi's house, where you could enter wearing anything.
It was 7 p.m., and the second and last place to visit for the day was Yukinoshita Haruno's upscale bar.
Since the bar is located on the top floor of a commercial building, the first requirement for entry is to wear formal attire.
A blue trench coat, a black stand-up collar shirt, suit trousers, and shiny black leather shoes—Uchiha Rin's natural features were already there, but to look more mature, he could only put some effort into his hair.
His stylist was Yukino Yukinoshita. Uchiha Ryo, who doesn't usually pay much attention to his appearance, was surprised when he saw himself in the mirror and touched his face.
"I never knew I was this handsome!"
"Narcissist..."
Uchiha Ryo stood up and looked at Yukino. "This isn't narcissism, it's confidence. Yukino, ask yourself honestly, am I not handsome?"
Yukino turned her head away from him.
"It is foolish to judge a person's worth solely by their grades or appearance. Even the most outstanding person may not have a good character."
Uchiha Ryo: "...I suspect you're insulting my character, but whatever, I'll forgive you for how beautiful Yukino looks tonight."
Under the bright lights, Yukino's snow-white skin appeared exceptionally dazzling. Her slender and long legs were highlighted beneath her knee-length ruffled skirt, and her long, silky black hair hung down naturally. Her small sandals complemented her shapely ankles perfectly.
Stepping out of the apartment, even though it was night, the snow made it seem like a white lotus blooming in the darkness, exuding a cool and refreshing charm.
Upon arriving at the building, Uchiha Ryo looked up at the skyscraper radiating orange light.
As Yukinoshita walked ahead and pressed the elevator button, the elevator doors slowly slid open with a "ding".
This is a transparent glass elevator; as it ascends, the entire night view of Shinjuku, Tokyo will be displayed before their eyes.
Upon arriving on the fourteenth floor, the elevator doors opened, and Uchiha Ryo proactively raised his right arm for Yukino to take his, and the two walked side by side into the bar's lobby.
As soon as you step into the hall, you can feel that the texture under your feet is completely different. If you didn't know better, you would think that you were at an awards ceremony.
However, the bar's lighting was very soft, as understated as candlelight.
In the center of the hall, under the flash of a camera, a Western woman was playing jazz on the piano. Passing through the open wooden doors, a waiter immediately bowed to them and led them to a bar seat by the glass window.
"Oh, I didn't expect you guys to come. It must be a school assignment."
Just like Kai Takahashi, who was standing at the entrance of the aquarium, Yukinoshita Haruno, the bar owner, was obviously behind the most conspicuous bar counter.
Unlike Yukino's otherworldly, ethereal beauty, which resembles a graceful snow lotus, Haruno slowly tied up her beautiful hair, revealing a pair of eyes that shone with wisdom.
In terms of figure, Haruno almost completely outshines Yukino beside her. Her graceful wine-red skirt is eye-catching, and her high and full breasts are truly impeccable.
Yukino's face darkened. "What are you looking at?!"
Uchiha Ryo felt his foot being stepped on; Yukino's heels were a bit too sharp. He's just admiring what you don't have, isn't that normal?
"Would you two like coffee or juice/soft drinks?"
Yang Nai, the boss, volunteered to be a bartender and served his sister and her male classmate.
Two beautiful sisters sat facing each other, one in front of him and the other beside him. Yang handed him a drink, while she opened a bottle of red wine for herself.
Yukino: "The boss personally entertained the guests, and even drank alcohol himself?"
Yang rested his chin on his hand, swirling the wine glass in his other hand, enjoying the fragrant aroma, before tilting his head back and drinking it all in one gulp.
"So, you two aren't just here for a simple inspection, are you?"
Although Yukino Yukinoshita appeared slightly tipsy, both the Uchiha clan and Yukino knew that this woman was definitely not drunk.
She lightly tapped the cup with her slender fingers, making a crisp sound, and then the three of them fell silent after she finished speaking.
Yukino didn't know what she wanted to say, so she just sat there silently with a wandering gaze. Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes met Yukino's, and she waited quietly for her younger sister to speak.
When their eyes suddenly met, Yukino looked away somewhat awkwardly, finally fixing her gaze on Uchiha Ryo.
Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent, simply enduring Haruno's gaze. She seemed to be carefully choosing her words, cautiously opening her mouth and then closing it again.
"Sister...it's me."
That hesitation lasted only a moment, but Uchiha Ryo grasped Yukino's hand, which was already slightly sweaty.
He picked up where Yukino left off and slowly began to speak.
"I want to ask about the Yukinoshita family... about your thoughts on Yukino in the future."
Uchiha Ryo's tone was calm, and although his voice wasn't loud, Yukino Yukinoshita heard it very clearly.
"Our family's feelings towards Yukino..."
Yang Nai looked down and saw the two hands suddenly clasped together.
"Yukino is still Yukino. She can go to school properly and do her own things while she's at school."
Uchiha Ryo: "Yono-senpai should know that I'm not asking about the school period."
Yukinoshita closed her eyes. "I can't judge what my mother is thinking."
"What if Haruno-nee had taken control of the Yukinoshita family before Yukino graduated?"
Yukino's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. "If it were up to me, it would be difficult to decide what Yukino should do, but... neither my mother nor I would try to stop Yukino from being taken away by someone who truly loves her."
Uchiha Ryo picked up her soda. "That is indeed a possibility, but given Hino-senpai's personality, if you take control of the Yukinoshita family, you probably wouldn't let your beloved little sister be taken away so easily."
Yang narrowed her eyes, "If it's Ling-di, it's not impossible~"
