My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

"Beep... Hello, I'm not home right now. This is a voice message. Please leave a message if you need anything."

"I don't believe you for a second! This is a private phone number!" Dongfang Bai delivered a fatal 840 sarcastic remark. This old man is never happy unless he comes up with something new.

Realizing he had been discovered, a familiar, sly voice came from the other end of the phone again: "Hey, Xiao Bai, what brings you to call the old man?"

"Old man, what's going on with my fiancée?" Dongfang Bai suppressed the urge to rant and asked Dongfang Yuntao, enunciating each word clearly.

"Xiao Tianyi has already gone to see you? So fast." Dongfang Yuntao seemed to have anticipated his reaction and spoke slowly.

Little Tianyi?

Dongfang Bai was taken aback. He carefully read the name several times, then closed his eyes slightly. Suddenly, the red orb in his mind flashed, and fragments of memories flooded into his mind.

A little girl with long gray hair smiled and pulled him around, running from one restaurant to another. Every time she asked him to play, she would take him to a place to eat.

In particular, she could eat a whole steamer of xiaolongbao by herself in a traditional Chinese restaurant without even panting. Dongfang Bai was deeply impressed by this. He had gained at least a size larger after spending a month with her, while her figure remained completely unchanged.

This made Dongfang Bai wonder what her stomach was made of.

"Tian...Tianyi?" Dongfang Bai said uncertainly. Although the red ball of light in his mind reminded him of Tianyi, it was still too unbelievable.

The girl he used to play with as a child inexplicably became his fiancée, and it was even a childhood betrothal! What kind of melodramatic TV series plot is this?! He thought his only childhood friends were Eriri and Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Oh my, so you still remember Xiao Tianyi? I thought you had forgotten her after all these years."

The old man from the East seemed a little surprised. After all, Dongfang Bai and Luo Tianyi were only five or six years old when they first met, which was a long time ago, more than ten years ago. Dongfang Bai actually still remembered her.

"I'm not that forgetful, okay..." Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes, leaned against the wall and chatted with the old man for a while before the old man finally told him about his fiancée.

"Oh, actually, her grandfather and I have been friends for many years. Before you two were born, we talked about arranging a marriage between you if one was a boy and the other a girl. We never expected it to actually be a boy and a girl! Hahahaha~"

The old man's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone. Dongfang Bai's lips twitched. Was this the reason he had arranged a marriage between his children and Tianyi? And why did he know nothing about it?

"Don't make a decision so casually, and you didn't even tell me!"

"Oh dear, actually, if that girl hadn't come to see me recently, I would have completely forgotten about it. Old people have such bad memories..." The old man's voice made Dongfang Bai's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) ability skyrocket. He was definitely deliberately not saying it.

I want to see what kind of interesting reaction I'll have when I suddenly find out about this.

"Wait a minute, since I'm already engaged, why did you force me to go on blind dates everywhere?!" Dongfang Bai was surprised when he suddenly thought of this. He was already engaged, so why did he have to go on blind dates?

This parallel world version of myself came to Japan because I was driven crazy by blind dates and couldn't take it anymore.

"What a joke! How many children can Tianyi have with you? The Luo family isn't just about Tianyi, while our Dongfang family only has you left!" Old Man Dongfang's words made Dongfang Bai suddenly realize the truth.

Damn it, that old man really didn't have good intentions when he let me come to Japan. He just wanted me to find a few more girlfriends here, right? Dongfang Bai had a lot of complaints stuck in his throat, unable to say them.

That old geezer, he's really wicked!

"Wait, does Tianyi know about this? She probably won't agree, right?!" Dongfang Bai's lips twitched wildly. A girl would definitely disagree if she suddenly found out that she had been betrothed for life for no reason.

Isn't this kind of plot common in TV dramas? A rich young lady who finds out she's engaged and then runs away... Tianyi probably wouldn't just accept that.

"She knew that when she was five years old, and she's been looking forward to marrying you when she grows up."

Dongfang Bai: ? ? ?

"No wonder you told me to go home immediately after graduating from high school. Are you going back to your hometown to get married?!" Dongfang Bai suddenly felt a strange sense of melancholy. Could it be that he really had to accept this marriage proposal?

"She didn't see you this time, but she'll probably come again next time. You'd better be prepared. Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

Old Man Dongfang seemed unwilling to say another word. Even though the person on the other end of the phone was his own grandson, he seemed too lazy to say a word to Dongfang Bai and was only thinking about how to hang up the phone as soon as possible.

"Does Tianyi really think this engagement is okay?" Dongfang Bai raised an eyebrow and asked again, as he still had to respect her opinion.

"Nonsense, would I lie to you? Don't you have any idea how close you two were when you were kids? What, do you want to break the contract and hurt that girl's feelings?" The old man's tone gradually became stern.

Dongfang Bai was certain that if he said he didn't want the engagement, the old man would definitely take him and his family back to the Celestial Empire in one night.

"That's not the case. Since Tianyi agrees, I have no problem with it either." Dongfang Bai sighed softly. Luo Tianyi is beautiful and cute, and her family is so well-off. The number of people who like her could stretch from the far left to the far right of Japan. Moreover, she and he are childhood sweethearts.

The most important thing is that everyone wants to be with me, so if I still think about refusing, wouldn't that be pretentious?

"That's good, hahaha, then I'll hang up." The old man's mood returned to his previous sly demeanor, and he hung up the phone without waiting for Dongfang Bai's reply.

"~Phew..." After the call was disconnected, Dongfang Bai casually put his phone into his pocket. Fortunately, his fiancée was Tianyi; if it were someone else, he might not have agreed.

"How was it? Finished?"

"Hmm, finished... Hmm?" Dongfang Bai looked to the side and saw three girls sitting there watching him. When did they come out of the living room? Did he not notice because he was too engrossed in the phone call?

"Bai, you're not thinking of breaking the contract, are you? Tian Yiren is so wonderful." Yamada Fairy narrowed her eyes. Although she didn't hear much, she did catch some of what Dongfang Bai said.

"No, that's not it. I agreed, but it was so sudden that I was a little surprised." Dongfang Bai waved his hand. Hearing this, Yamada Elf nodded. Last time, before Luo Tianyi left, they exchanged contact information and went out together.

Although Yamada Fairy was also shocked by Luo Tianyi's eating speed and amount, she genuinely liked this gray-haired girl. Her personality was so good, and most importantly, she didn't mind at all that she was Dongfang Bai's 'girlfriend'.

Yamada Elf admired this magnanimity. If she were in Yamada Elf's shoes, she wasn't sure if she could share her boyfriend with someone else without getting jealous.

"Hoo." Dongfang Bai took a deep breath, calming his somewhat agitated mood. Although he knew that Luo Tianyi would come again next time, he didn't know the exact time.

He also had to prepare himself to welcome his 'fiancée' whom he hadn't seen in ten years... until...

[PS: I'm writing a new book, a post-apocalyptic story. Those interested can look forward to it.]

Chapter 82 Don't Call Me Auntie [Please Subscribe Automatically]

The next day, the members of the Light Music Club, who had promised to come and participate in the live performance after the school trip, gathered in the activity room as soon as school was over and headed to the LiveHouse they had visited before.

"Finally... here they are!" Hirasawa Yui walked at the front of the group with an expectant smile on her face, followed by Yamanaka Sawako, and then several girls from the Light Music Club and Higashikata Shiro.

"Yes, our first LiveHouse!" Ritsu Tainaka was also excited. Three days after the end of their school trip, they arrived at 'LiveHouseSpace,' a shop owned by Sawako-sensei's friend, just like they had visited before.

"It still won't work, no, no, no... I absolutely can't do it!" Akiyama Mio's face was pale. This time, she was actually pushed by Dongfang Bai to be the lead singer of the first song in the band's performance. At that time, she agreed to Dongfang Bai's request in a moment of impulse.

They agreed immediately!

The reason was that Dongfang Bai said her voice was more suitable for being the lead singer of this song, and the others also agreed very seriously. She didn't even have time to refuse before she became the lead singer.

Looking back now, the school festival was alright, since most of the people there didn't know much about musical instruments. But the people who came to Liv840eHouse were all music lovers. What if she sang badly? Wouldn't that have been noticed immediately?

"Mio, be quiet..." Ritsu Tainaka rolled her eyes. After the school trip ended, Mio Akiyama and Haku Touhou didn't make much progress, but this girl immediately agreed to Haku Touhou's request.

They're too easy to deal with.

The situation on Akiyama Mio's side went unnoticed by the others behind her. Dongfang Bai was leisurely chatting with Nakano Azusa behind him.

"Speaking of which, Azusa, I remember you were carrying your guitar around everywhere when you were in junior high school, right? Didn't you ever participate in a livehouse?"

Dongfang Bai suddenly remembered that when he rescued Nakano Azusa from a group of thugs, she was also carrying a guitar and seemed to be in a hurry to go somewhere. He still remembered her quite well.

Nakano Azusa is quite petite, looking almost like a child standing next to Dongfang Bai, but she carries a guitar bag that is longer than her upper body, which makes her look rather cute.

"Huh?! Not at all! I've been to concerts, but I've never performed on stage!" Nakano Azusa was stunned when she heard Dongfang Bai ask this question, and she shook her head without hesitation.

"You've never performed on stage? I thought someone like Azusa, who's been playing guitar since she was little, must have performed in livehouses with other bands," Kotobuki Tsumugi said with a smile, gently clapping her hands together.

“Kotobuki-senpai and Touhou-senpai are the real problem. You two are so skilled with your instruments, so why haven’t you ever participated in a LiveHouse?” Nakano Azusa glanced at the two people beside her, especially looking at Touhou Shiro.

In her eyes, even the guitarist of a professional band might not be better than Dongfang Bai. His guitar has a unique charm that can deeply attract people. That's how Nakano Azusa fell into the Light Music Club.

"Ah..." Kotobuki Tsumugi's face froze. Although she had been learning the electronic keyboard since elementary school, as a rich young lady, she had never participated in any livehouse performances.

"I'm not interested in participating in this kind of activity, and besides, I didn't have a band before." Dongfang Bai waved his hand. He was lazy to begin with, and it would be too much of a hassle for him to go and participate in a band live performance.

Moreover, both his predecessor and himself were unable to participate in live performances for various reasons. Besides, he didn't have a band, and even if he was very talented, it was impossible for him to play several instruments by himself...

"Huh!?" Nakano Azusa's eyes widened. It was unbelievable that neither of them had ever participated in a live performance.

(aeei) "Alright, alright, stop chatting, we've arrived!" Sawako Yamanaka clapped her hands lightly, drawing everyone's attention. Before they knew it, they had reached their destination.

The store is called 'LiveHouseSpace'. Everyone had been to this store before, so they went in without hesitation. Sawako Yamanaka's band friend, Kimi Kawaguchi, had been waiting for a long time.

"Wow, you all got here so fast! The band ahead of us hasn't even finished playing yet." Kawaguchi Kimi's eyes lit up when she saw the arrival of the light music club members. Except for Ritsu, who didn't have her drum set and keyboard with her, and Kotobuki Tsumugi, the others all carried their own instruments.

Even the somewhat naive Yui Hirasawa looks quite professional with a guitar on her back, which is what a band should look like.

"It seems we're a bit early." Sawako Yamanaka was taken aback. She pulled up her sleeve and glanced at the lady's watch on her wrist. She was indeed more than ten minutes earlier than agreed.

"Well, since you're here, I'll take everyone inside to change first." Kawaguchi Kimi waved her hand dismissively. It was better to come earlier; she would have more time to help these people change.

"Change...change clothes?" Akiyama Mio's face stiffened. She suddenly remembered being dragged by Yamanaka Sawako to change into various 'shameful' outfits like a dress-up doll, which made her feel fearful of the word "change clothes".

"Aunt Kawaguchi, do we need to change our clothes again?" Hirasawa Yui smiled. Changing into cute clothes was something she really enjoyed. She would also enthusiastically change into clothes whenever Yamanaka Sawako brought them.

"That's right, do you want to go on stage in your school uniforms? And don't call me 'auntie'!!"

Kawaguchi Kimi seemed to have been touched by the word 'auntie,' and stared at Hirasawa Yui with a dark face, scaring the child so much that he immediately hid behind Dongfang Bai.

"Hahaha~ I'm already at an auntie's age, aren't I?" Sawako Yamanaka laughed heartily, mercilessly mocking Kimi Kawaguchi.

"Oh dear, I'm getting married soon, while Catherine is almost thirty and still doesn't have a boyfriend?"

"Damn it, do you want to fight?!" Sawako Yamanaka, her sore spot touched, took off her 'ladylike' glasses and shouted at the woman in front of her with her mouth wide open.

"Come on then! Who's afraid of who!" Kawaguchi Kimi also revealed a 'friendly' look. The two got closer and closer, and Dongfang Bai tactfully went over and pulled Yamanaka Sawako back. Tainaka Ritsu and Akiyama Mio exchanged a glance and also pulled Kawaguchi Kimi back.

These two are almost thirty years old, why are they still so restless?

"Alright, alright, you two, quiet down! If you keep arguing, we'll be late for our live performance." Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes and scolded Yamanaka Sawako, looking like a teacher reprimanding a student.

"Bai-kun is so mean! He's the teacher, after all!" Yamanaka Sawako pouted, a little unhappy, but her best friend Kawaguchi Kimi immediately saw this and burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Hahaha, Catherine even lectures your students! You're such a lack of authority as a teacher!"

"What a joke! I still have a lot of authority, don't you all agree!" Yamanaka Sawako, putting on a brave face, turned to the girls in the light music club next to her and asked them. They looked at each other and spoke in unison.

"No."
