Oh no! They all seem a bit off!

Chapter 78 The Invitation from the Ji Ye Family

"Yeah……"

After receiving Ji Yexue's definite answer, Ji Yelongjun nodded thoughtfully and said, "Then call him over tomorrow and let us meet him."

"...?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yexue's expression immediately turned to astonishment.

From what Grandpa said...

Is the purpose of having Qiu Yuecheng meet the parents so they can vet her?
"It's alright, Xiaoxue."

Mrs. Ji noticed that her daughter's expression was off and mistakenly thought that she was under psychological pressure, so she chuckled and said, "You don't know, but Grandpa is quite satisfied with him, so you can invite him over without worry."

"But……"

Ji Yexue hesitated, thinking that if she really brought that guy home, things would get really troublesome.

What should she do if Grandpa is really satisfied with him?!
Originally, she just wanted to play with Akizuki Makoto, and then dump him when she got tired of him.

But if Akizuki Makoto met her family, she couldn't do that.

At least, assuming that Akizuki Makoto hasn't made any mistakes, she certainly can't actively dump him.

But what if Akizuki Makoto makes a big mistake...

Then just wait for it to be deregistered.

The Ji Ye family has never had a divorce, only a widowhood.

Ji Yexue's hatred for Qiu Yuecheng wasn't enough to kill him.

Even after being spanked today, I still haven't thought about killing him or doing anything to harm him.

"What else could it be? It's decided then. Bring him over tomorrow afternoon."

After being repeatedly refused by Ji Yexue, Ji Yelongjun's imposing demeanor couldn't help but reveal a hint of displeasure.

"Okay, okay..."

At this point, Ji Yexue had no choice but to compromise and agree.

In just one day, she experienced the consequences of her own actions twice.

"How...how did things turn out like this?"

She watched her parents chatting and laughing about Akizuki Makoto, and felt a sense of bewilderment.

She suddenly had a feeling that Akizuki Makoto was definitely her mortal enemy from birth.

This was the first time in eighteen years that she had suffered so many losses at the hands of one person.

She got a beating and a spanking because of him, and now she has to pretend to like him and introduce him to her parents.

Although it was all her own doing, none of this would have happened if she hadn't provoked Akizuki Makoto.

……

……

That night.

Akizuki Makoto no longer tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, but he still dreamed of Fuyuko.

He couldn't quite remember the exact time of the dream, only that he was in his first year of high school and Dongzi was in his second year of junior high.

By then, they had been living in the same room for several years.

Although Akizuki Makoto was troubled by this, he had no objection when he saw how happy Fuyuko was.

Until that day, Dongzi said he had a stomachache at school and asked for leave to go home. His parents then insisted that they live separately.

In fact, his parents had already moved Dongzi to another room when he entered high school.

But Dongzi absolutely refused, crying and begging her parents not to separate her from her brother.

Left with no other choice, the parents had to agree, thinking they would bring up the matter of separate housing again after Dongzi had grown up a bit.

No matter how long they waited, or how many times they brought it up each month, Dongzi just wouldn't agree.

It wasn't until the day Dongzi asked for leave to go home that her parents changed their usual doting ways and forcibly moved Dongzi's things to another room.

Furthermore, no matter how much Dongzi cried or begged, her parents refused to compromise, which finally allowed them to separate their rooms.

He could understand why his parents did this, since Dongzi had started her period and entered puberty.

No matter what, they are not suitable to live in the same room.

For a long time after they were separated into separate rooms, Dongzi would secretly run to his room every night, wanting to sleep with him.

Although he felt it was inappropriate and unwilling, he softened and gave in when he saw Dongzi pleading with him, her eyes brimming with tears.

At first, the parents didn't notice, until one night when the mother got up in the middle of the night and found that Dongzi was not in the room, and she frantically searched for him everywhere.

After finally discovering it was in his room, his mother started sleeping with Dongzi.

Since then, his parents have become more worried about Dongzi and have asked him to reduce his contact with Dongzi so as not to make Dongzi more dependent on him.

……

The next day.

After several days of continuous rain, the plum rains finally stopped briefly.

Perhaps because he went to bed late last night, or perhaps because he released a lot of pressure yesterday, Akizuki Makoto was late for the first time in a long time.

When he woke up, the sky had cleared and it was bright outside.

In about seven minutes, the clock on the wall will point to nine.

Qiuyue Cheng blinked, and after checking the time, he instantly woke up. He hurriedly got up to wash and dressed, not even bothering to eat breakfast, and ran to school after putting on his school uniform.

He ran all the way, but he was still late, by twelve minutes!
Actually, this was already very fast. It only took him seven minutes from getting up to leaving the house, just in time for the first class.

Twelve minutes is the time it takes him to run from home to school and enter the classroom.

"Ha ha……"

Akizuki Makoto leaned against the classroom door frame, panting heavily, and said to the teacher lecturing on the platform, "I-I'm sorry, teacher, I'm late." "Oh...it's okay, come in."

The teacher nodded without saying anything.

Being late occasionally is nothing serious.

"Thank you, teacher."

Qiuyue Cheng nodded his thanks and walked to his seat.

Only then did he notice that the seat next to him, which belonged to Shiraishi Rin, was empty.

He was only surprised for a moment before he put the matter out of his mind.

What does it matter to him whether Shiraishi Rin is in his seat or not?
Today, Ji Yexue didn't use invisibility to harass him anymore, presumably having learned her lesson from yesterday's spanking and temporarily behaved herself.

During lunch break, Akizuki Makoto, who hadn't brought a lunchbox, went to the cafeteria for the first time in a long time, and Shiina Maki went with him.

As Akizuki Makoto sat eating in the cafeteria, looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the clear blue sky, he suddenly felt that life had returned to normal.

It seems he has regained the peaceful daily life he had before the awakening system.

Ji Yexue and Shiraishi Rin have calmed down for now, and Shiina Maki is also slowly getting better. It's been a long time since she used time stop on him.

Everything seems to be getting better.

Yi Yi Qiuyuecheng initially thought that was the case, but if Ji Yexue hadn't suddenly messaged him after lunch break inviting him to her house after school, he would have almost believed it.

"..."

When lunch break ended, Akizuki Makoto returned to the classroom and saw that Ji Yexue had sent him a message on LINE, inviting him to her house after school. He fell silent for a moment.

Sorry, President, I have something to do this afternoon.

Please ask for leave from the club activities. I'll help you with the workload later.

It's not about the club; I genuinely have something else to do this afternoon and it's inconvenient for me.

【What's up? 】

Qiu Yuecheng looked at the message sent by Ji Yexue and fell silent again, thinking to himself, "Why is she so difficult to deal with?"
Ji Yexue's sudden invitation to his home must be a trap.

She's definitely up to something, probably wanting revenge for the spanking she got yesterday!

Okay, to be honest, it's not that I want you to come over, but my grandparents and parents want to see you, so they asked me to make the appointment.

Just as Akizuki Makoto was pondering what excuse he could use to refuse, Ji Yexue sent him another message that nearly overheated his CPU.

"What... thing?"

He blinked in surprise, wondering if he had seen it wrong. It was Ji Yexue's family who invited him to Ji Yexue's house as a guest.

I know you don't want to come, but I think you'd better not refuse. Consider it a favor I owe you, okay?

Seeing that Ji Yexue had already put it this way, Qiuyue Cheng couldn't refuse any longer.

[...Should I go straight there after school?]

Okay, I'll wait for you at the school gate.

After making this agreement, Akizuki Makoto put his phone away and began to think about why Ji Yexue's family wanted to see him.

Isn't this too sudden?
Did Ji Yexue say something to them?

He racked his brains for an entire class period, but still couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up trying.

If you can't figure out why, then just stop thinking about it.

Anyway, once we meet Ji Yexue's family, we'll be able to figure out their intentions.

After assessing the situation, Akizuki Makoto concluded that there should be no danger on this trip.

Given the power and influence of the Ji Ye family in the island nation, if they wanted to harm him, they wouldn't need to invite him to their home; they could simply kidnap him and take him there.

This is also the reason why he agreed to Ji Yexue's request. If it was her family's idea, and not hers, he could feel more at ease.

……

The afternoon classes ended quickly. After school, Akizuki Makoto packed his schoolbag, hurriedly said goodbye to Shiina Maki, and then ran to the shoe cabinet on the first floor to change his shoes before rushing to the school gate.

At this time, there were only a few dozen students at the school gate.

Standing gracefully by the street, Ji Yexue stood out and attracted attention.

She stood beside a black sedan with all four doors open. When she saw Akizuki Makoto arrive, she nodded and said, "Good afternoon, Akizuki-kun. Please get in the car."

"it is good……"

Thus, amidst the surprised and envious gazes of his classmates, Akizuki Makoto got into the car and, as Ji Yexue had requested, sat with her in the back seat.

The car is a Mercedes-Maybach. The rear seats are spacious and all are individual seats, separated by a control panel that resembles an armrest.

This control panel allows you to control almost all the functions inside the car.

"President, for..."

Qiu Yuecheng looked at Ji Yexue, who was lying on her back with her eyes closed, beside him. Just as he was about to ask something, Ji Yexue interrupted him softly, "From now on, you will call me by my name."

Upon hearing this, Akizuki Makoto thought about it and realized it made sense. It seemed a bit strange to still call Himeya "Chairman" in front of her family when they went to Himeya's house later.

But calling someone by their surname alone won't work either, because they're all Ji Ye, and it's hard to tell who's being called.

"Then I'll just call you... Xue?"

"..."

Ji Yexue remained silent, but her cherry lips, which were as tempting and delicious as jelly, unconsciously pursed slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings.

Clearly, she reacted to Akizuki Makoto's word "snow".

This was the first time a stranger had addressed her by her first name, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable.
