Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Shiro was amused by Erina, but knowing that business was more important, he said:

"That's pretty much it!"

"Give me four thousand yen. Give me four thousand yen and I'll give you this voucher worth five thousand yen."

Erina Kamishiro was stunned for a moment, and then, after realizing what was happening, she became furious:

"Four thousand yen?"

"Why didn't you say so sooner? I thought you were going to give it to me!"

"And all that sweet talk from me, calling you 'brother' and 'oppa'... Onii-san, I never expected you'd ask me to exchange money for the vouchers you have?"

"It really pisses me off!"

"Just tell me if you want it or not. If not, I'll use it myself." Shiro Kaede waved the voucher in his hand.

Erina bit her red lips and said, "Four thousand won't do, three thousand, I'll take it right away!"

"Fine, if you weren't my sister, I really wouldn't sell it to you."

"Ha, I don't believe it!"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and hand over the money!"

"Humph!"

Erina Kamishiro got off the sofa, immediately ran to her room, took out three thousand yen, and ran back. Then, pouting, she handed him the money and said in a coquettish tone, "Here, you'd better take it before I change my mind!"

Seeing her like this, Shiro Shiro couldn't help but chuckle.

He clearly seemed to have this golden opportunity completely under his control.

Before you change your mind?

Actually, Bai Feng had just looked at the instructions for using the 5,000 yen voucher.

There are quite a few suspicious points found above.

It cannot be used anywhere in the Millennium Shopping Street.

There are many limitations on where it can be used.

Most of them are cosmetics stores and drugstores.

He had originally considered making a move, and then asked someone he knew.

They did find someone to take over.

However, these vouchers are usually not redeemable for the full amount.

The people there said they would buy one for 3,000 yen.

The price of this gift certificate is 5,000 yen.

It's definitely not a good deal.

So, since Shiro Kaede was going to exchange it anyway, she decided to take it home and give it to Erina.

Anyway, she'll be going to the drugstore to buy things soon.

It's better to benefit your family than others.

Subsequently.

Erina Kamishiro pouted as she took the voucher.

Then he immediately sat back on the sofa, took out his phone, and excitedly started asking his classmates to go to the shopping street to buy cosmetics after school the next day.

Sato Ayaka was clearly used to their playful banter; she simply smiled and said nothing.

Rather, she was quite pleased to see the two of them laughing and joking together so harmoniously.

After all, they are not biological siblings.

It would be best if there were no barriers in the relationship.

This scene also reminded her of her past memories of playing around, arguing, throwing tantrums, saying hurtful things, and finally making up with her sister.

Every scene is still fresh in my memory and I miss it dearly.

She longed to continue being like her sister, but unfortunately, her sister was no longer with her, and there was no one left to argue and play with her like before.

As Ayaka Sato thought about it, she suddenly felt very wronged and upset.

My sister and brother-in-law are still so vivid in my memories, how could they be gone in the blink of an eye?

The more she thought about it, the more tears welled up in her eyes.

Then she burst into tears.

When Shiro Kaede noticed that his aunt was crying, he was a little confused and didn't quite understand why she had suddenly started crying again.

However, he was used to his aunt's sentimentality and could probably guess what had suddenly made her sad again.

So he slowly stepped forward and began to wipe away the tears from his aunt's eyes with a tissue, asking softly, "Why are you crying again? Did something happen to you?"

Sato Ayaka's eyes were red, and she choked back tears as she said, "Waaah~ it's just that seeing you two laughing and playing around reminded me of how my sister and I used to be."

"But now I can never see her again. Just thinking about this makes me want to cry."

Sato Ayaka sobbed, and Kamishiro Hakufu gently wiped away her tears, softly comforting her: "Auntie, the beautiful memories you two shared will always remain in your heart and will not disappear with time. Although you can no longer meet in person, she must also hope that you can be happy."

"And most importantly, you still have me and Erina now."

"We will always be there for you."

Erina, standing to the side, nodded emphatically: "Yes, yes, I will always stay with Auntie!"

Sato Ayaka was deeply moved. She nodded, choking back tears, and said, "Yes, Auntie, I will always be with you."

Seeing that his aunt's condition had improved slightly, Shiro Kaede decided to change the subject.

After all, if we keep letting her dwell on her memories, she might start crying again later.

There are several ways to distract yourself when you're sad.

And eating is one of the best examples.

Eating can activate the brain's reward system, releasing neurotransmitters such as dopamine, thereby producing a feeling of pleasure.

This is why food is often associated with rewards, pleasure, and satisfaction.

"Auntie, do you want some ramen? I just bought the ingredients and I'm about to make a late-night snack."

Ayaka Sato wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. After crying, she felt a little hungry.

"Yes, I want to eat it."

Erina Kamishiro quickly exclaimed, "Me too! Me too! Don't forget about mine!"

"I remember you!" Shiro Shiro smiled helplessly, then rolled up his sleeves and slowly walked into the kitchen to prepare a late-night snack.

As Erina Kamishiro watched Shirafumi diligently preparing food in the kitchen, she seemed lost in thought. Suddenly, she walked over and stammered, pouting, "Do you need my help?"

Shiro Kaede gently patted her head and said softly, "No need. Go and keep an eye on your aunt. Make sure she doesn't cry again."

"Oh," Erina Kamishiro paused slightly, then had no choice but to agree.

When she returned to the living room, she started chatting with her aunt.

However, his gaze would occasionally drift towards Bai Feng.

Chapter 44 Promise!

2024-07-14

After the late-night snack is prepared.

Shirakaze Kamishiro, Erina, and Ayaka Sato began eating at the dining table.

After taking a sip of soup, Ayaka Sato sighed with satisfaction:

"Bai Feng's ramen is so delicious, much better than what I make."

Erina Kamishiro gave a soft snort, remaining silent and offering no comment on how good Bai Feng's ramen was.

He didn't stop eating his ramen, his legs swinging back and forth under the table.

They clearly had no objection to the ramen Bai Feng made.

A warm and friendly atmosphere filled the dining table.

Sensing this atmosphere, the corners of Shiro Kaede's mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

He actually quite likes the feeling of simple happiness and ordinariness.

at this time.

Erina Kamishiro suddenly remembered the time after school when Bai Feng was dragged away by a girl to confess her feelings.

Although she didn't see it with her own eyes.

But I heard it from the class group chat and from my classmates.

I heard that girl was rejected by Bai Feng.

However, that was just hearsay.

Erina still wanted to ask Bai Feng in person whether he had agreed to be with that girl.

After all, they are family.

If he's in a relationship, shouldn't he be obligated to inform his stepsister?

Erina Kamishiro didn't look directly at Bai Feng, but instead lowered her head and secretly glanced at him, muttering to herself:

"Bai Feng, did a girl confess her feelings to you this afternoon?"

"I remember that girl was quite pretty. So, do you agree?"

Upon hearing this topic, Ayaka Sato's beautiful eyes lit up, and she covered her mouth in delight, exclaiming:

"Hey, isn't it only the second day of school?"

"Bai Feng, have any girls confessed to you yet?"
