Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

Now...what is going on?

Looking at the backs of several people leaving in pairs, Xueno sighed softly. Although her face still looked cold, a barely perceptible sense of loss flashed through her heart at this moment.

Then, Yukino found a place and began to wait for a long time.

When she walked alone, the wind seemed to become stronger, blowing up her skirt slightly, causing her black hair to dance.

It was clearly autumn, and it was afternoon, so the breeze should have been refreshing and cool, but at this moment Yukino felt a little annoyed.

While Xueno was waiting, Su Qing was in a dilemma.

"What do you think of this?" Hikigaya picked up a short-legged cat doll with orange and black eyes from the shelf and asked everyone's opinions.

"It's okay, I'll keep it for now." Su Qing took a glance and threw the doll recommended by Hikigaya into the shopping cart as a "candidate cat". At this time, the shopping cart had been occupied by a large army of cats without anyone noticing.

"Xiaoqing, hello kitty!"

After hearing Yui's voice, Su Qing turned his head and found that Yui's head had turned into a kitty cat.

"Stop playing around, idiot."

Su Qing angrily rewarded the other party with a stick, and the latter looked at him with tears in his eyes and said aggrievedly:

"I'm not playing! Kitty cats are so cute, Xiaoxue will definitely like it too!"

"Yeah, I wronged you."

Su Qing said perfunctorily, then took a closer look at the kitty cat, and rejected its application to become a "candidate cat" on the grounds that it did not look like a cat.

"Poor kitty, it looks like you and Xiaoxue are not destined to be together."

After hearing this, Yui did not argue anymore. She just gently touched the kitty cat's head, talked to herself for a few words to comfort it, and then reluctantly put it back to its place.

"Do you like it very much?" Su Qing asked.

"Not really...it's just that, I just feel..." Yui's voice became lower and lower, so that Su Qing couldn't hear what she was saying in the end. When Su Qing asked again, she evaded the question with a smile on her face, and then picked up another doll to ask Su Qing's opinion.

"Idiot...it's still a kitty cat." Yui didn't want to say it, and Su Qing didn't ask any more questions.

----

"Now this should be about right, right?"

As time passed, the shopping cart could no longer accommodate the army of cats, Hikigaya asked.

"Well, everyone please choose the most suitable one to give to Yukinoshita-san."

----

"Xiaoqing, let's go."

Because Yukino was still waiting for them, everyone quickly chose a cat doll that best suited Yukino. When they shared the bill as agreed and were about to leave to pay, Yui discovered that Su Qing had no intention of leaving.

"This looks like...Pokémon?"

Pokémon is also very popular on the island, but Yui can only call out the most classic names.

"Well, let's go, there's nothing to see." Su Qing withdrew his gaze. He just thought that there was a Pokémon in there that looked quite similar to Yui.

"Oh oh." Seeing Su Qing leaving, Yui followed him in small steps.

----

"Xiaoxue, guess who I am~"

"Yui, stop messing around."

After hearing the familiar voice, the panic caused by being blindfolded suddenly disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a sense of security.

As to where this sense of peace of mind comes from, it is still unknown.

At the same time, although Yukino said this, there was no trace of impatience in her words. Instead, they were full of helplessness that came from doting on her.

Yes, many times Yukino even had an illusion, especially when Yui begged her in a coquettish tone, she felt that the two of them were not friends, but more like... mother and daughter?

Yukino knew that this metaphor was not appropriate, but for a moment she couldn't accurately describe their relationship.

But, this is Yui.

"Why……?"

When Yukino turned around, what caught her eyes was not the familiar pink ball, but...

"noob?"

Yukino looked at the kitten which was also white with blue eyes and asked subconsciously, but she quickly realized that it was just a doll.

After all, Xiaobai's legs are not that short...

“Clang clang clang~ I guessed it right! This is Xiaobai 2.0~”

Yui moved Xiaobai 2.0 away from her face, revealing a cute smiling face.

"What's the meaning?"

"Ahem, I think it would be more appropriate to let Su Qing explain it to you. After all, it was his idea."

At this time, Hikigaya, Ayaka and others also walked over slowly. After hearing what Hikigaya said, Yukino looked at Su Qing.

"Do you remember who the commission is today?"

Su Qing spoke.

"Xiaobai? ...Or rather, Snowball." Yukino replied.

"Yes, Snowball moved into the new cat house we made for him, and he was reunited with his owner without any problems.

In other words, Xiaobai, or Xueqiu, has completed his commission successfully!"

Su Qing paused, and continued at Xueno's puzzled expression, "But just now we were surprised to find a kitten that looks very similar to Xiaobai in the department store. We call it Xiaobai 2.0."

"Just now, Xiaobai 2.0 asked us to find a new owner for it, but unfortunately, none of us can take it home."

"It looks like the minister will have to step in to complete this commission."

"Are you going to give it to me?"

There was a barely perceptible tremor in Yukino's voice, but the answer was clearly before her eyes.

"Yes, this is what we all picked out for you, Xiaoxue!"

Yui said with a grin, and then stuffed Xiaobai 2.0 into the other person's arms.

"So, this is what you were planning along the way?"

Yukino felt a little scared for no reason, and she didn't know what she was afraid of.

The only thing she knew was that, besides waiting for the answer, all she could do now was to hold the doll in her arms tighter and harder.

"Yeah." Su Qing said softly.

Yukino didn't say anything. Yui thought she was unhappy because they kept it a secret from her, so she quickly said:

"Xiaoxue, I am also involved in Xiaoqing's plan. We didn't hide it from you on purpose."

"Well... although I don't want to admit it, I am also this guy's accomplice, right?"

"Me too!"

"Thank you... " Yukino felt like she had a lot to say, but after looking around at everyone, those words suddenly became redundant.

"I understand. Let me complete Xiaobai 2.0's commission."

"Xiaobai 2.0 is just something we casually named. You can give it another name." Su Qing suggested.

"No need, just call me Xiaobai." Xueno gently placed her hand on Xiaobai's head, her movements gentle, as if she was caressing a real life, her tone gentle, "I like this name very much."

The warm breeze gently lifts the girl's hair, like delicate silk dancing in the air, sparkling with a faint luster.

this moment,

The wind is gentle and the heart is warm.
