Several hours later, Makise whispered in Itsuki's ear, "Itsuki, I like you."

I like you too.

Makise hummed and circled around Itsuki's belly button, asking, "Itsuki, am I the one you love the most?"

Yi Yue hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Yes!"

Makise, oblivious to Itsuki's hesitation, happily said, "Itsuki is also my favorite." He then sat on Itsuki's lap.

……

Home.

After reading through the three diaries, Yixue chuckled incessantly, her head bowed so that her expression was obscured.

"My mothers are all disgusting."

Chapter 148 Disgusting

"Hmm!" Rena stretched and got out of bed.

Yi Yue wasn't home, and no one was looking after her. She played until very late and slept until almost noon before finally getting up.

"I'm so hungry." Reina came downstairs and saw Yixue wearing an apron and cooking in the kitchen.

"You're up." Yixue glanced at Lingnai, took off her apron, and said, "Help me serve the dishes."

Reina went over to serve the dishes. Yixue had only prepared three dishes, all very simple. One was scrambled eggs with tomatoes, another was stir-fried pork with green peppers, and the last was a simple seaweed soup.

"It's too simple," Rena complained. She didn't really like scrambled eggs and green peppers, nor did she like seaweed soup. She took a bite of rice, then only ate the shredded meat. After just one bite, she gasped from the spiciness: "Ouch, so spicy! What did you make? It's so spicy!" She quickly ran to get some water.

Seeing Reina hopping around from the spiciness, Yixue curled her lips, took a bite of scrambled eggs, and didn't touch the plate of stir-fried meat. She deliberately made it very spicy because she knew Reina would eat it.

After finishing her water, Rena ate her meal while complaining, "It tastes awful, not at all as good as Dad's cooking."

“I certainly can’t do as well as Dad,” Yixue said with a smile.

This smile made Rena unhappy. She shoveled down a couple more mouthfuls of rice, then threw down her chopsticks and said, "I'm not eating anymore." She planned to eat some snacks to tide her over and go out to eat later.

"Clean up the bowls and table first," Yixue said.

Reina stuck her tongue out at Yixue and tried to run away, but Yixue grabbed her hand.

"I'm not your father, I don't have such a good temper." Yixue pointed to the dishes on the table and said coldly, "Clean them up!"

Reina was startled by Yixue's expression and whispered, "Is this really necessary? I can clean it up, right?" Yixue frowned and didn't say anything as she poured the unfinished rice from her bowl into the trash can.

Rena took a rag and wiped the table clean: "Is that enough?"

Yixue let go of her hand.

Reina scoffed, "You don't act like a proper older sister at all. Can't you even give way to your younger sister?"

Yixue curled the corners of her lips: "What should a sister look like? What should a sister look like?"

“Anyway, it’s not like you do it,” Rena said. “At least my sister won’t force me to wipe the table clean.”

"Isn't this what you should do?" Yixue said. "Do you think everyone is your father, treating you so well?"

"W-What do you mean?" Rena asked.

Yi Xue smiled and said, "Haven't you noticed that no one likes you?"

"I don't need their approval!" Rena snorted.

"Then who likes it, Daddy?"

"Hmph." Rena didn't say anything, just hummed twice.

“How could your father possibly like you, being so willful?” Yixue said. “You can’t do anything right and you’re so immature.”

Yixue came closer to Linnai, and Linnai glared at Yixue.

Yixue maintained her smile and said, "Dad will get tired of you soon."

“Eh…” Rena’s expression slowly softened.

Yixue gently said to Lingna, "Think carefully about how annoying you are. Daddy will hate you too."

"No way!" Rena exclaimed, glaring at Yixue: "You rascal!" and quickly ran upstairs.

Yixue ate her meal quietly, a smile playing on her lips.

……

Rena sat on the bed: "What nonsense is this guy talking about? How could Daddy hate me!"

In Rena's eyes, Itsuki is very gentle. No matter what she does wrong, her father will forgive her.

What if Dad really hates me...

"No, no, impossible! Dad is so good, he wouldn't!" Rena imagined it and couldn't accept the idea that her father disliked her.

Maybe I really need to make a change?

Rena pondered, feeling a headache coming on.

"Damn it, Yixue is making me overthink things!"

"You jerk! You jerk! You jerk!"

Rena angrily grabbed a pillow and kept throwing it onto the bed.

……

Yixue's room.

Yixue sat at the table, moving the mouse. On the computer screen was information about "Stockholm Syndrome".

I don't know why, but she really enjoys reading about psychology.

Yixue glanced at the diary beside her and murmured softly, "Dad..."

……

"Moon, help me apply some sunscreen." Makise lay on the bench, his back to Izuki, and asked him to apply the sunscreen.

The heatwave, the blazing sun, the beach—everything was so harmonious, except for Yiyue, who was lost in thought.

"Moon!" Makise said unhappily.

"Sorry, I was distracted." Izuki poured the sun-dried oil into her hand and gently applied it to Makise's back.

"Mmm..." Makise hummed comfortably, feeling a little itchy. "I need to apply it everywhere."

As Izuki gently applied the ointment, Makise suddenly said, "Tsuki, there's nothing to worry about. Reina and Iyuki are all grown up; can't they take care of themselves?"

Yi Yue forced a smile: "That's true." But she was still worried.

"Moon, lie down." Makise turned over and stood up.

"What are you doing?" Izuki asked, puzzled. Makise hadn't even finished applying the sunscreen yet. But she couldn't stop Makise, so she lay down anyway.

"I'll help Yue apply sunscreen."

"No need, I can manage myself..."

"Lie down!" Makise said firmly.

Yi Yue had no choice but to obediently lie down.

Makise squeezed some sunscreen into her hand and gently rubbed it on Itsuki's back.

“Hmm…” Yi Yue’s expression was unnatural.

"Is it itchy?" Makise gently rubbed against it, slowly moving down to Itsuki's waist.

Yi Yue shuddered and shook her body.

"Can't you even handle this?" Makise smirked, slowly resting her chest against Itsuki's back, pressing her entire body against him. "What about this?"

"Makise, get up quickly. It won't be good if someone sees us like this," Itsuki said helplessly.

"No!" Makise gently applied sunscreen, and Itsuki tried her best to turn around. Their eyes met, their faces flushed, and they looked away slightly, panting. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, they kissed.

"Moon, don't think about anything. Just think about me," Makise said, her face slightly flushed.

Yi Yue gave a soft "hmm".

……

Yixue went downstairs to cook dinner and saw Lingna returning with large and small bags of things.

"Don't cook it anymore, it tastes awful!" Rena said, taking out the groceries she had bought from outside from the bag.

“Here, I bought you some food too. I didn’t know what you liked to eat, so I just bought a little something. If you can’t eat it, there’s nothing I can do,” Rena said.

Yixue stared at Lingna's face.

Reina felt a little flustered under Yixue's gaze: "What's so interesting? Are you going to eat it or not? If not, I'll eat it all!"

Yixue smiled.

……

"Makise, I'll go buy some water," Itsuki said.

Makise glared at Izuki: "Hurry up."

Yi Yue went to the convenience store in front, saying she was going to buy water, but actually she was worried and wanted to call Yi Xue to ask about the situation.

"Hey, Yixue, have you eaten yet?" Yiyue dialed Yixue's number. "Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing. I was just worried. Oh, okay, alright, that's all for now, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Yi Yue sighed. Perhaps her worries were unnecessary.

My daughters are all grown up now; I don't need to follow them around all the time.

Yi Yue shook her head, bought water, and walked out of the convenience store with a somewhat hesitant expression.

Just then, a volleyball fell at his feet.

It was a pair of girls playing volleyball in front of me who accidentally knocked the volleyball away, and it landed at Izumi's feet.

Izuki tossed the volleyball to them.
