“…… Well, I already know about it, and I didn't expect you to be targeted by her, it's kind of my fault...... But don't worry, I'm skeptical of everything she says. ”

The girl's calm, somewhat unusual voice came from the other side—

"And although she is a tricky person in every sense, she shouldn't do such a thing as falsifying the recording to frame others, as long as you didn't say anything you shouldn't say at the time, there is no problem."

Although the voice under the snow was unusually calm, Xia Ran intuitively felt that there was some kind of wave suppressing behind this calmness.

INTERVIEWER What is the reason?

…… Is it because you hate that Yono under the snow meddling in her affairs? …… Or are you dissatisfied with the topics that the two of you just unilaterally discussed that offended her a little?

Of course, this is probably an eternal mystery, and the kind that will never be answered.

"Who knows? I'm just trying to be on the safe side, and I now very much agree with what you said before, so I don't have to think of a way to deal with it after she makes a move. ”

Although Xia Ran was also a little curious, he wisely didn't ask any questions at this time, but casually agreed-

"After all, your sister really seems to be exactly ...... Well, it's the kind of person who only acts according to his own interests, and if he doesn't have interest, he won't do anything, and if he is interested, he is really amazing......"

Because the impression that Yang Nai gave him under the snow was actually not bad, Xia Ran didn't really hate her, and the other party was still a sister under the snow no matter what she said, so he could only describe his own perception as euphemistically as possible.

Although the relationship between the two sisters seems to be very stiff, it seems to be very bad, so that Yukino is very impatient when talking about her sister, as if she has been touched against the scales.

However, Xia Ran still didn't think it was a wise thing to say ugly things about her sister in front of her sister, if someone really did this, it would be an idiot.

"Then you're pretty sharp, not hopeless...... You must know that other people are full of praise for her after seeing her. ”

Sigh softly under the snow.

"Huh?" Xia Ran suddenly let out an exclamation expressing surprise.

"What's the matter, isn't this amazing? Beautiful appearance, first-class IQ, both civil and military, versatile...... No one is as perfect as her, and everyone will naturally praise her......"

Xue Xia explained with some impatience.

"No, that...... Under the snow, are you praising yourself in disguise? ”

Xia Ran was silent for a moment, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the classmate under the snow seemed to be talking about herself...... No, it doesn't seem, it's just talking about herself.

“…… Hey? ”

Hearing him say this, this time it was the turn of the snow to be surprised, as if she had discovered this problem in hindsight, or did she never have this self-consciousness, and felt that she was perfect in the eyes of others?

"Forget it, let's not talk about it yet, and I think the feeling your sister gives people is just a camouflage and protective color...... Well, how to describe it? Her perfection was like putting a layer of armor on herself. ”

Xia Ran pondered for a moment, and according to his feelings, he gave Yang Nai under the snow a more accurate conclusion.

That's right, the admirable "perfection" wasn't real, it was just a layer of armor that she had specially armed herself.

——The reason why Xia Ran felt that Yang Nai's words and deeds under the snow were naturally in the natural feeling, and there was a slight sense of disobedience, probably because of such a reason.

Saying that she "wrapped herself up" should be the most appropriate description, but ordinary people are mortal with the naked eye, so they can't see it at all, and they will even praise it.

"Hmph, mortal wisdom ......"

"What are you talking about?" Under the snow, he wondered, "What mortal wisdom?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a feeling...... Xia Ran exhaled softly, "But your sister is indeed very smart, I guess most people can't find out that she is wearing a mask." ”

"Of course, as you said, that's just what she is. She is the eldest daughter in the family, and because of her work, she often has to visit and attend banquets, which naturally makes her have that side......"

Xue Xia said calmly.

Xia Ran listened to her voice quietly, but she couldn't help but use her brain at this time, thinking about what made Yang Nai under the snow become like this.

Is it really because of her background and family, as the eldest daughter, she unwillingly undertook all kinds of social entertainment and future political and business responsibilities of the family, so she saw through people's hearts prematurely?

If this is really the case, that is to say, her perfect disguise, her dark belly and bad eyes are actually the ways she uses to protect herself in the face of the world's malice and ugly hearts?

Although it's very strange, there is one thing that Xia Ran didn't reveal, that is, the performance of Yang Nai under the snow is not strictly hypocritical, although he judged that it was her armor that armed herself, but he did not deny that those attributes also belonged to one of her sides-

Because the mask is worn for a long time, it can never be taken off again, it is like getting used to nature.

Even if Yang Nai under the snow really put on that perfect armor for the reason of protecting herself, but after many years like this, it is estimated that she has already become accustomed to nature, who can say that these attributes are not her true side?

“…… Xia Ran, are you listening to me? ”

At this time, the sound of displeasure under the snow sounded, pulling someone's thoughts back to reality.

He couldn't help but shake his head, dispelling the possibilities that flashed through his mind in an instant. After all, there is no point in thinking and speculating here, after all, only she knows what kind of situation that sister is.

So, for now, it's better to deal with her sister first-

"Sorry, I was a little distracted, what are you talking about?" Xia Ran didn't hesitate for even a second, and decisively explained that he didn't pay attention to what he said under the snow just now, and he didn't plan to perfunctory.

If it was Yang Nai under the snow, he would probably just smile and just reveal it, and both sides tacitly agreed. But under the snow, Xue Nai is a very real kind of character, so perfunctory is not a good choice.

"I mean, what do you think of my sister?" The girl repeated unhappily.

"Didn't I say that? A very troublesome one......"

"Is this the only one? I mean, a more specific assessment. ”

"Well, let's put it this way, I think for most guys, your sister is the ideal type." Xia Ran thought about it carefully and gave such an answer.

"Ideal?"

"Yes, it's easy to talk to each other, whether it's real or not, at least she feels good, she always has a smile on her face, and I suspect she can even talk to Bikiya-san......"

"Don't you think your criteria are a bit rude for members of the same community?"

"Do you think I'm wrong?" Xia Ran asked rhetorically.

"Judging from the conclusion alone, it is indeed not a mistake......" There is no way to deny the facts, so he can only reluctantly change the topic, "So, what else is there to think?" ”

"Do you want to say more? If I had to say a few more words......," the magician pondered, "probably because she seemed to be able to close the social distance with others very easily, almost the feeling of being glued to the whole person, and the skin was very close to each other, and it felt very soft......

"Are you a pervert!"

"It's said that she stuck it up, what's the matter with me, has she always been like this?"

"How is that possible? You're the first person to be treated like that...... "The girl said coldly.

"Is that so? So it seems that she really cares about you, so she will act like this? Xia Ran thought about it, why was Yang Nai under the snow interested in herself, probably because she was one of the few people who could get close to her sister's iceberg?

At least when the other party said this reason, it was indeed very sincere, maybe she was really a sister who cared about Xue Nai under the snow, but she had no way to change the mask she was wearing, and took off the armor she was wearing-

So there's no way to care about your sister like a normal sister? Can you only detour in such a way that seems to be dark and evil-minded?

“……”

“……”

There was no speech under the snow, as if he was noncommittal about it, and as if he instinctively did not want to talk about such a problem.

"Ahem, speaking of which, you shouldn't be in the classroom right now, are you?" Xia Ran also knew that there would be no more conversations in the follow-up of this topic for the time being, so he quickly changed the topic, compared the time, and asked very firmly.

"I'm in Hiratsuka-sensei's office right now."

"Huh?" He thought the girl was here in the activity room.

"I've already finished answering the questionnaire before, so I don't want to continue wasting time in the classroom, so I might as well do something other meaningful at this time......

Under the snow, Xue Nai seemed to sigh helplessly at first, and his tone became no longer as cold as before.

"What's meaningful?" Xia Ran asked with interest, "Shouldn't you still have a headache for those two people?" ”

Xue Xia didn't answer, it seemed to be a tacit acquiescence, although she was just on the phone, but Xia Ran made up her expression at the moment in an instant.

"It seems to be, but you can't do anything right now, can you?"

Xia Ran sighed, he felt that this kind of thing might be meaningful, but outsiders really didn't want to interfere-

"Do you still plan to take advantage of this time to find them one by one and let them reconcile directly?"

"Of course I'm not so ......stupid," Xue Xia said unhappily, "I just want to make sure that there are any changes to their application for job shadowing." ”
