She kept rubbing her hands together, occasionally exhaling warm breath into them, and then continued rubbing.
"You're not thinking that your hands are cold and you want me to warm them up for you, are you?"
After staring at Yui for a while, Su Qing tentatively asked.
"Mmm! Little Qing is so smart!"
Upon hearing Su Qing speak her thoughts as if by telepathy, Yui nodded her head repeatedly and looked at him with expectant eyes.
"...You were covering your teacup with your own hand, wasn't that what you said not long ago?"
Su Qing said irritably, "I thought something had suddenly happened to Yui, but it turns out it was just about this."
"...I just tried it, and as Hachiman said, it's too hot. So Hachiman's method is better."
As he spoke, under Su Qing's gaze.
Yui placed her fair hand on the cup again, but pulled it back as if she had been electrocuted the moment she touched it. "See? It's really hot!"
"Then wait until it's not so hot before covering it with your hand."
I know Yui is just being cheeky, she's not really cold.
Su Qing didn't spoil her much either.
"W-How could this be...?"
Yui looked as if she had been hit hard, and she lowered her head in dejection, her once straight back bending considerably.
"Are you cold? Hold out your hands, let me warm them up for you."
He hasn't realized Yui's true intentions yet.
In addition, Yukino mistakenly thought that Su Qing was embarrassed to make such an intimate gesture in front of everyone, so she took the initiative to speak up.
"Eh...? No..."
Before Yui could finish refusing, Yukino had already grabbed Yui's hand and wrapped it around hers.
one second.
two seconds.
Time slips through our fingers, yet it seems to move surprisingly slowly.
After a while.
Yukino blinked, and Yui blinked too.
They looked at each other.
Yukino frowned slightly and slowly said, "Your hands...aren't they quite warm?"
"Um, um. Xiaoxue, let me explain!"

Chapter 242 A Cold Wind Strikes
?
In the end, none of them received a new commission.
As the school bell rang melodiously, the club activities came to an end.
?
"Um... I'm going to get my bicycle now, goodbye."
Before they knew it, the group had walked out of the school building and arrived at the bicycle parking area.
It was time for Hachiman to part ways with the others—of them, only Hachiman rode a bicycle to and from school.
"and many more."
Seeing that Hikigaya was about to say goodbye and leave, Su Qing called him to stop.
"what happened?"
Hachiman turned around.
"It's so cold...you don't seem to have brought a scarf or gloves, are you alright?"
call--
A cold wind soon blew in my face.
"Ah...it's okay, I won't be cold if I ride my bicycle during the sports meet."
In response to Su Qing's concerns, Hachiman's face lit up with a relaxed smile, and he waved his hand dismissively.
"With your physique... I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."
Su Qing shook her head, but her gaze suddenly fell on Cai Jia, who immediately understood and suggested:
"Or... Hachiman, take me back first, and I'll lend you my scarf and gloves..."
"Hey, there's no need to go to such lengths."
Hikigaya instinctively wanted to refuse.
This time, however, Su Qing doesn't need to assist anyone.
When he noticed Saika's determined look, he quickly changed his tune:
"Then... I'll have to trouble you, Caijia."
Upon hearing this, Saika immediately broke into a joyful smile and jogged over to Hachiman's side, saying, "No trouble at all."
"See you tomorrow, both of you."
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Su Qing smiled faintly and said goodbye.
"See you tomorrow." ×2
?
After walking for a while...
"Waaaaah, Xiaoxue, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you. Please talk to me!"
Yui clung to Yukino in a coquettish manner.
She had actually started pleading desperately inside the office.
Ever since Yukino realized that Yui wasn't actually feeling cold, but just wanted to be "touched" by Su Qing.
She couldn't help but feel ashamed of her superfluous behavior.
An indescribable shyness filled her heart.
She could even picture how Su Qing would laugh at her.
therefore.
Until Hachiman and Ayaka left, she didn't talk to Yui much.
To be precise, this feeling of shyness left her unsure of what to say.
"...I'm not angry, I just don't know what to say."
Remaining silent is simply a form of escapism.
Yukino sighed softly and then explained.
She really wasn't angry with Yui or had any other feelings towards her.
However, she hasn't been paying much attention to the other person since just now, which is clearly her problem.
The setting sun shone on Yui's face, making her already flawless complexion appear even more radiant.
Anyway...she's always sticking close to me anyway.
It was as if by some strange twist of fate.
She gently pinched Yui's cheek.
—Wait, why does it feel a little pinchable?
It's as bouncy and chewy as jelly.
Yukino subconsciously touched it several times.
"Does Xiaoxue like to pinch my cheeks?"
Without moving, Yui remained rooted to the spot, letting Yukino do as she pleased.
"Ah... I just think it feels nice to touch."
Realizing her abruptness, Yukino took a half step back.
"It's okay. When Xiaoxue pinched my cheek, I felt quite comfortable."
Yui took a half step forward, brought her cheek close, and said with a grin.
“…Is that so?”
Unable to refuse Yui's enthusiasm, Yukino could only hesitate for 0.01 seconds before pinching her twice more.
[It's really bouncy and chewy.]
[I wonder who's easier to touch, Mr. Pan or Mr. Pan?]
Regretting that she might not be able to touch Mr. Pan in her lifetime, Yukino said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ignored you, but I'm really not angry."
"Hehe, it's good that you're not angry. Speaking of which, Xiaoxue's face looks really nice to touch, may I touch it?"
Yui leaned closer and asked for Yukino's opinion.
"Yes, you can... but you have to be gentle."
Yukino nodded slightly, showing little resistance.
Such contact meant nothing to her and Yui.
"Hehe~ I'll be very, very gentle."
Yui's murmurs echoed in Yukino's ears, making her wary.
Fortunately, the other party did not do anything out of line. Just like when she pinched Yui, Yui only pinched her lightly a few times.
"Just as I thought. Xiaoxue's face feels just as comfortable as touching a baby's!"
Yui exclaimed excitedly.
"A little...baby?"
Upon hearing this, Yukino subconsciously touched her face, but did not experience the same feeling as Yui.
[Yui's face is still easier to touch...]
"Yes, Xiaoxue's face is a little chubby~~"
Yui smiled smugly.
But the next moment, she couldn't laugh anymore and couldn't help shivering. "Ugh... it's a little cold..."
"Your scarf wasn't tied properly, and the wind just got inside. Don't you think it's cold?"
As he spoke, Su Qing had already stood in front of Yui, using his tall frame to block most of the cold wind for her.
After taking off Yui's scarf, he quickly and deftly rewrap it around her neck.
After finishing all this, Su Qing, still feeling uneasy, took Yui's hand and, sensing its slight coolness, said:
"Your hands are a bit cold. If you're not wearing gloves, warm them in your pockets for a while."
"Hehe, thanks Xiaoqing. But actually, I brought my gloves!"
As she spoke, Yui pulled a pair of pink gloves out of her pocket.
Talk about it.
While Su Qing was wrapping the scarf around Yui's neck, Yui behaved very obediently and didn't move at all.
She blinked her almond-shaped eyes a few times, then gazed tenderly at Su Qing, who had her head down.
"Since you wore gloves, why didn't you take them out and use them when you were in the office? Didn't you say your hands were cold?"
