Chapter 208 Under the Stars, Ling Wants to Become
(The original text has been completely revised.)
I think anyone would love this kind of scenery. When a person falls in love with the vast universe, they will feel happy every time they look up at the starry sky.
Snow stretched out her right hand as if to touch the Milky Way; in her eyes, dazzling stars already resided between her fingers.
Yuki sighed with some emotion.
"My sister just called me and said she wants me to come home in a couple of days."
Yukino lowered her head dejectedly, surprised that she was so afraid of going home. It was truly strange; after all, Fuku was Yukinoshita's mother, a woman who could completely control the Yukinoshita family with one hand—truly terrifying.
Yukino smoothed her hair and changed the subject.
"Let's not talk about that. As for that girl who went to America, since you want her to get into Shuchiin Academy, you should at least reach an agreement with her parents."
Uchiha Ryo: "I'll discuss this on behalf of the Shuchiin Student Council. But Yukino... it's not good to always think about others. What about you? What are you going to do when you get home?"
Even though she had taken the initiative to change the subject... Yukinoshita seemed a little lonely and looked up at Uchiha Ryo.
"I think... once I go back, I probably won't be able to come out again. Maybe my mother will make me stay at home for the rest of the summer vacation."
Uchiha Ryo: "Is that so? Then how about this, when you go home, you take me with you, okay?"
Yukino turned her head to the side, her face full of surprise.
Uchiha Ryo continued, "If you take me with you, Aunt Yukinoshita should allow us to leave together."
The night view of Chiba Forest wasn't actually that beautiful; it was just trees and trees, with hardly any rare plants. But Uchiha Ryo saw it—there were spirits in this forest after all... The snow-white spirits standing there were quite a sight.
In the gentle breeze, Yukinoshita's expression froze for a moment.
Uchiha Ryo: "Just like the two methods you mentioned to my sister last time, if possible, proceeding simultaneously is also an option."
The methods my sister mentioned last time? The first is to overthrow my sister's position, and the second is to find someone approved by our mother...
Wait! Yukino remembered that Uchiha Ryo was far away from them at the time, so how did he hear her and Haruno's conversation?
The forest was so quiet that even a falling leaf would make a faint sound, and the bright moonlight illuminated the fair and delicate face beneath the snow.
Did you hear that?
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Of course, if nothing happens, I'd like to wait for you and see how you solve your problem. But since Aunt Yukinoshita has already ordered you to go home... then let me help you."
Yukino fell silent, and just as Uchiha Ryo was about to say something, Yukino's gaze fell upon him.
She stared intently into Uchiha Ryo's pupils with her beautiful eyes, then spoke in a soft, whispering voice, yet clearly articulated.
"Thank you, Ling Jun."
A shy, bashful smile appeared beneath the snow. Visible red tinged her cherry-pink cheeks.
The moon was perfectly round; if he didn't appreciate it at this moment, he would seem unromantic.

Yukino tilted her head. "As far as I know, quite a few people at school like you, right?"
Uchiha Ryo's eyes widened: "You agreed? I didn't expect Yukino to be so open-minded!"
Yukino stepped on Uchiha Ryo's foot. "I was just kidding, you didn't actually believe me!"
Uchiha Ryo remained unmoved. "But Yukino didn't agree, so it's only natural that I couldn't resist the temptation, right?"
Yukinoshita: "...Are you one of those weak-willed elementary school students?!"
"Hey! Trying to lure elementary school kids with candy might not work, but it'll work perfectly to entice older boys my age!"
Yukinoshita fell silent again, wondering if she had chosen the wrong person.
"You... fine, whatever. I won't easily give in to my sister's second method, so you're still free. If you can do it, then go for it!"
"When the time comes, watch out or I'll cut you up! And confiscate my tools!"
Uchiha Ryo: "Hiss—Yukino, you can't learn those things from Captain Amakusa! Where did that aloof and innocent you go?!"
"I mean what I say! Going back to sleep now... See you tomorrow."
With that, Yukinoshita, not wanting to hear Uchiha Ryo say anything more, quickly ran back to the inn.
Standing alone in the woods, Uchiha Ryo sighed deeply. (The original text has been directly deleted.)
