Chapter 235: Chapter 194: Sister and Sworn Sister (Goal of 8000 Words Reached!)

After saying farewell to Shen Gu Mirai, Beichuan Si headed to the Tokyo Modern Art Museum.

"Senior Beichuan, I must trouble you again," Qianye Yuki said gratefully as she observed Beichuan Si examining her legs.

Qianye Cang seemed to have gone to take care of matters related to the painting exhibition, so he was not in the reception room.

After all, today was the last day of the painting exhibition, and Qianye Cang also needed to attend to it, so the immobile Qianye Yuki naturally stayed here to receive Beichuan Si’s treatment.

"Our deal is one of mutual benefit, and there’s no such thing as trouble," Beichuan Si replied without looking up, as he sent the deadly aura into her legs to administer treatment.

His response was neutral, causing Qianye Yuki to only chuckle awkwardly upon hearing it.

Their relationship only extended to the fact that ’she was the teacher of Beichuan Si’s sister’ and didn’t go any deeper.

But to be honest, for a person like Beichuan Si with extraordinary abilities, anyone with a brain wouldn’t mind getting closer to him.

Even if not as lovers, being friends was good enough.

"Speaking of which, Senior Beichuan, hasn’t school already started?" Qianye Yuki inquired.

Most high schools in the Bunkyo District had begun, and Kyubei High was likely no different.

Beichuan Si raised his eyebrows and answered, "That’s right. Regular classes begin tomorrow."

"Is that so?" After hearing Beichuan Si’s response, Qianye Yuki’s gaze shimmered.

After a while, she spoke, "Thanks to Senior Beichuan’s treatment, I can now walk on my own two feet. I undoubtedly owe you gratitude for that."

"And in order to fulfill my promise better, soon I’ll start teaching at Kyubei High School."

"You’re going to Kyubei to be an art teacher?" Beichuan Si looked puzzled.

With Qianye Yuki’s current status, becoming a high school art teacher would be effortless, and the school’s chairman would have to treat her with the utmost care, fearing she might leave.

Her intentions were nothing but to better guide Beichuan Huili and repay a favor.

However, wouldn’t this lead to a stagnation in her own path in painting?

Beichuan Si did not voice this question, as he felt that a wise and beautiful girl like Qianye Yuki should have her own considerations.

The light of intelligence flickered in Qianye Yuki’s eyes, and as if sensing Beichuan Si’s concerns, she continued,

"I feel like my painting skills have reached a plateau, and staying at home, working in isolation, will hardly lead to any breakthroughs to a higher level. This is why I want to teach at Kyubei, perhaps starting from the beginning and experiencing painting from various perspectives will propel my skills further."

"And since the exhibition has ended, me teaching at Kyubei will also make it convenient for Senior Beichuan to continue my treatment, right?"

"If Miss Qianye has her own ideas, that is certainly the best," Beichuan Si retracted his palm.

"Today’s treatment is finished. If Miss Qianye is indeed coming to Kyubei to teach, then I’ll thank you on behalf of Huili. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, Beichuan Si nodded slightly to Qianye Yuki and left.

On his way out, he even encountered Qianye Yuki’s sister, Qianye Cang.

After exchanging greetings, Qianye Cang returned to the reception room. Seeing her sister walking slowly and awkwardly, she stepped forward to support her,

"Sister, I just saw Senior Beichuan. Did you tell him about that matter, Ying?"

Qianye Yuki shook her head: "Shihua’s case is a bit complicated. Her family is pressing her hard, and her physical condition lately has been pessimistic... Whether she is willing to receive treatment and whether Senior Beichuan’s abilities are effective are both major factors."

"So... you haven’t told Senior Beichuan, right?" Qianye Cang said with concern.

"Let’s find the right opportunity to discuss it. Shihua has reduced her activities lately, hasn’t she? I will contact her in the next few days, hoping she will accept my arrangement and that I can also persuade Senior Beichuan..."

Qianye Yuki sighed lightly.

Beichuan Si helped her because she could teach Beichuan Huili how to paint... beyond that, the only thing she could offer was financial compensation.

But for someone like Beichuan Si, would he really accept monetary rewards?

Qianye Yuki doubted the likelihood.

Qianye Cang seemed to understand Qianye Yuki’s struggle and nodded, replying, "That’s all we can do for now."

After a bit more conversation on the somewhat heavy topic, they turned to discuss the official teaching position at Kyubei.

Just as Qianye Yuki had said, her painting skills were nearly at a standstill, and it was difficult to progress further by working alone.

"Life or death, this theme has room to evolve... to continue evolving..."

Qianye Yuki murmured to herself.

She had seen a unique representation of death in Shihua, but in Beichuan Si, she had seen a unique representation of life. If she could observe the scenes she sought, her painting skills could also take one more step forward.

By then, perhaps Shihua too would find the resolution she desired.

For that purpose, it became even more crucial to convince Shihua.

She made up her mind, no longer hesitating.

...

After returning home, Beichuan Si found his sister unusually not watching the animal shows she often liked.

Instead, she was lying on the couch with headphones, propping her chest on a round pillow, fiddling with her phone.

Her small feet, wrapped in black stockings, gently kicked about, and she hummed an out-of-tune song to herself.

And at some point, Nishijou Kurenai had sneaked into the living room, pretending to be a stuffed toy, staring fixedly at Beichuan Huili.

Well, there you go—Beichuan Huili’s laid-back demeanor had been seen in full by her little ’sister’.
