A newbie's anime life diary

"Sister Yuanzi, is there something you need?"

"Ah, Yukiteru-kun, are you free right now?"

Machida Sonoko's voice came through, and at the same time, Yukiteru also heard bursts of music, singing, and Hiratsuka Shizuka's noisy voice coming from the other end of the microphone.

Shizuka Hiratsuka! ? ? ?

Even through the microphone, Xuehui could still hear some fragmented words.

Questions like "Where is he?" "Why isn't he here?!" "Phone! Where's my phone?!"

Okay, Hiratsuka Shizuka is definitely drunk. It's only nine o'clock and she's already drunk. That's not like her at all.

"...Okay, I think I know what happened. It must be that Sister Jing drank too much." Xuehui rubbed his forehead, looking helpless.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m a minor at home, but Hiratsuka Shizuka has been drinking less and less at home, and these past few days we’ve run out of beer.

As it turned out, when we went out today, the other person couldn't resist the urge and drank freely.

"Ah, well, that's how it is." Machida Sonoko smiled awkwardly, somewhat taken aback by the other party's unrestrained drinking today.

"But it's okay to be drunk, right? You're here, Sonoko-nee?" Yuki didn't care much. So what if she drank too much? It's not like Hiratsuka Shizuka was alone. Yuki knew that as her friend, Machida Sonoko wouldn't let anything happen to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"That's what they say, but today my classmate brought a few of her fiancé's friends. Xiaojing was dressed up really nicely today, and one of them seemed to be interested in her, but Xiaojing didn't seem to care. But after dinner, everyone went to karaoke, and that guy came over and challenged Xiaojing to a drinking contest. Plus, a few other people were egging her on, so it felt like he was eyeing Xiaojing."

After a moment of silence, Xuehui asked, "Does the other party know Sister Jing's identity?"

"People in our circle all know that, after all, Xiaojing doesn't care about these things, and besides, she's not the heir, so it just gets out. With her status set up, Xiaojing's suitors have become much more cautious. But this guy is also the heir to some company. Although his family's wealth is not as great as the Hiratsuka family's, it's still considerable. Xiaojing is definitely a good target to get in touch with."

After listening to Machida Sonoko's explanation, Yukiteru finally understood the relationship. He was trying to form a business alliance through Hiratsuka Shizuka, the second daughter of a branch family. This was a common tactic among some business families.

Xuehui's father had little status in the collateral branches of the family and was inconspicuous. He refused to accept the marriage arranged by his family and broke off the relationship directly. He left the family to start his own business. He and his mother worked hard and built their own career. So Xuehui had no concept of the so-called family at all.

However, this did not affect Xuehui's thinking, which was influenced by the tropes in fantasy and urban novels. He quickly figured out the intricacies of the situation.

"So, what do you want to do after you called me, Sister Yuanzi?" Xuehui asked directly.

"Hehehe, I was also struggling with this, but Xiaojing called out your name after getting drunk, so I just said that you are Xiaojing's boyfriend. You can just come over and pick Xiaojing up, and everything will be settled."

"What kind of bizarre methods are these? Isn't there anything more reliable?" Xuehui almost spat out a mouthful of blood. No matter how you look at it, these methods seem unreliable.

"Huh? You don't want to? But if you don't come, and those people all try to match Xiaojing with that guy, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause."

Machida Sonoko said this as if it were none of her business.

"From now on, I'll definitely keep Shizuka away from you. Tell me your address, I'm coming right now." Although he knew that Machida Sonoko was trying to scare him, Yukiteru, as a family member, didn't dare to pretend he hadn't heard her, so he prepared to go out to pick her up.

Machida Sonoko smiled after hearing this, and she was somewhat glad that she had made the decision to drink so little, which was rare for her: "I'll send you the address right away. Remember to dress smartly!"

After hanging up the phone, Xuehui shook his head, opened the wardrobe, took out one of the two casual outfits he had bought for the trip to Kadokawa Bunko, changed into it, and went out.

I hailed a taxi, gave the address Machida Sonoko had sent me on my phone, and then sat in the back with my eyes closed to rest. After a busy day, I was really quite tired.

About 20 minutes later, the car stopped in front of a karaoke bar.

After paying the fare, Xuehui entered the karaoke bar and, following the directions, went to a private room. Hearing the singing coming from inside, Xuehui knocked on the door and, without waiting to see if anyone inside heard her, pushed it open and went in.

Inside a large private room, there were about 15 people. A girl was standing in front of them, singing into a microphone. Looking towards the other side, she immediately spotted Hiratsuka Shizuka sitting with Machida Sonoko.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had already taken off her vest, was wearing a dress with her two fair arms exposed. She was tightly embracing Machida Sonoko beside her, her face flushed, and she was muttering something to herself.

On the other side of Machida Sonoko, a man in a white shirt was drinking with a sullen expression, glancing to the other side from time to time. He must be the person Machida Sonoko mentioned on the phone.

Xuehui was observing, and when he pushed the door open, he was naturally seen by the people inside. Dressed casually, the capable and handsome Xuehui, although still somewhat immature, exuded a calm and composed aura, which immediately attracted the attention of several girls.

Furthermore, it must be said that birds of a feather flock together; the people who hung out with Machida Sonoko and Hiratsuka Shizuka were all quite good-looking.

Machida Sonoko was the most excited to see Yukiteru arrive, waving and beckoning him over.

"Oh, it seems your boyfriend was worried about Xiaojing. He came so quickly. Come, come, have a seat."

Hey, hey, hey, didn't you see that guy next to you is practically glaring at me?

Despite thinking this, Xuehui walked over without hesitation.

Thank you to 【肥肥的小肚皮】 for the generous donation of monthly tickets and blades, and thank you to 【一夜销魂】, 【空空空空空空空空】, and 【我才不是绅士呢】 for the blades!

How many blades of criticism should be added to each chapter?

Chapter 27: It's all a routine, a series of cunning schemes by Jing Ke'ai.

Arriving in front of Hiratsuka Shizuka, Yukiteru looked at the flushed, drunken woman with a speechless expression.

"Hmm...hmm?" Seemingly sensing that the light from the television in front of her was being blocked, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was leaning on Machida Sonoko's shoulder, slowly raised her head, frowned, stared at Yukiteru for a moment, and then laughed, "Hehehe, you're here?"

Shaking his head and ignoring the stares of those around him, Yukiteru squatted down and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Didn't I tell you not to get drunk?"

"What does it matter? Yuanzi's here anyway, and I'm really strong, who can bully me? Hiccup~~~"

"Oh no, he's completely drunk." Wiping away the lingering smell of alcohol, Yukiteru said to Hiratsuka Shizuka, "Alright, let's stop drinking and go home."

"Oh! Home~" With that, Hiratsuka Shizuka let go of Machida Sonoko and lunged forward to hug Yukiteru.

"Hugs, rubs..."

Feeling Hiratsuka Shizuka's cheek rubbing against his shoulder, he was both amused and exasperated. She wasn't acting crazy when drunk, but why was she acting like a child...?

Without realizing it, he was setting off flashbangs around him. Yukiteru put his arm around Hiratsuka Shizuka's waist and was about to say goodbye when the man who had been silent next to him spoke up.

"Sir, I didn't expect Ms. Hiratsuka to actually have a boyfriend. Let me introduce myself. I am Kento Yamada, the vice president of Yamada Pharmaceuticals."

Yamada Pharmaceuticals? Never heard of it. If I knew about Takeda Pharmaceuticals...

Xuehui looked at the other person, who was fairly good-looking, but perhaps due to the influence of alcohol, he seemed unable to hide his emotions, and there seemed to be a trace of resentful anger in his eyes.

Too lazy to think further, Xuehui said directly, "I won't go into details, it's pointless anyway. Judging from your expression, you're trying to poach someone?"

The scene fell silent instantly.

Kento Yamada's face was grim. He had originally come here with his sights set on Shizuka Hiratsuka. His family's company wanted to take a step further, and the so-called marriage was a must. But now he had just discovered that his friend's fiancée was the college classmate of the second daughter of the Hiratsuka family's branch family.

Yamada, who had hoped to get to know the other person today, obtain their phone number, and ideally personally take them home to find out their address for the next step in his pursuit, felt utterly miserable.

How did a boyfriend suddenly appear out of nowhere? This isn't how things are going!

"Hehe, you're joking. I just wanted to get to know Ms. Hiratsuka and make friends," Yamada said with a smile, feeling helpless.

"Well, I understand, I understand. Getting to know each other first will make things easier for the next step." Ignoring the other person's increasingly worse expression, Xuehui continued, "It's normal for Xiaojing to be pretty and have people who like her, but if she already has a boyfriend and you still try to steal her away, that's a bit too much. Let me just say, I'm not a very good-tempered person."

Standing up with his arm around Hiratsuka Shizuka, Yukiteru looked at Machida Sonoko and asked, "Want to come along?"

Machida Sonoko waved her hand and said, "No need, I haven't sung enough yet. You should take Shizuka home first."

"Alright, you should drink less too. I'm leaving now." After saying that, she nodded to the people present and led Hiratsuka Shizuka out of the private room.

After he left, everyone in the private room asked Machida Sonoko about Yukiteru's identity, but Machida Sonoko remained mysterious and refused to say. Well, since Yukiteru was acting so convincingly, she had to keep up the act, didn't she?

As for what might happen next, it's unlikely. After all, although the other party is powerful and wealthy, they can't compare to these families. They don't dare to mess around with the Hiratsuka family, who are old landlords.

However, neither Machida Sonoko nor Yukiteru, who had already taken Hiratsuka Shizuka into a taxi, noticed that Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes maintained a clear gaze throughout.

Although she did drink quite a bit, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had been practicing martial arts and exercising for many years, was not the type to get drunk easily.

It's fair to say that she orchestrated the whole thing from beginning to end!

She hadn't thought much about it at first, but when she learned that the annoying man had been flirting with her, Hiratsuka Shizuka knew that the long-awaited trouble had returned.

In the past, when faced with guys of such low or medium status, her solution was to have her older brother, who was two years her senior, pretend to be her boyfriend. Thanks to her brother's cultivated demeanor, the guy would always run away without a fight.

But now that he couldn't get his older brother to come, he could only think of Xuehui. Although Xuehui was a bit young, he was still easy to fool after everyone had been drinking.

Fortunately, Machida Sonoko knew that Hiratsuka Shizuka had previously had her older brother impersonate her, so this time she didn't expose Hiratsuka Shizuka's flaws, otherwise it would have been really funny.

Luckily, they managed to flag down a taxi and return to the apartment. Yukiteru, carrying Hiratsuka Shizuka into the apartment, breathed a sigh of relief. At first, he kept muttering to himself in the car, but after a while, he quieted down.

After carefully placing Hiratsuka Shizuka on the bed in the bedroom, Yukiteru went to the bathroom to prepare hot water and towels.

A few seconds after the bedroom door closed, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had been lying on the bed with her eyes closed, slowly opened them, raised her hand to rub her head, and muttered to herself, "As expected, not drinking for a while, drinking so much all at once is still a bit much. I feel so dizzy and uncomfortable... I don't even remember how I got back. Oh well, I'll rest for now..."

Five minutes later, Yukihira, who had washed his face, brought a basin of warm water and a towel to Hiratsuka Shizuka's bedroom.

After settling Hiratsuka Shizuka into an exaggerated sleeping posture in just a few minutes, Yukiteru wrung out a towel soaked in hot water and began to wipe her face. Fortunately, Hiratsuka Shizuka was wearing very light makeup, making it easy to clean; otherwise, Yukiteru, who knew nothing about these things, would have had a real headache.

While wiping the other's face, Yukiteru looked at the peacefully sleeping Hiratsuka Shizuka and chuckled, "You're the older sister, so why do I always have to take care of you? I really don't know how you managed when you lived alone before..."

After finally finishing wiping Hiratsuka Shizuka's face, Yukiteru prepared to leave.

As soon as he turned around, two long legs suddenly wrapped around his waist and pulled him into a warm embrace.

What the heck is going on?

Xuehui looked up and saw that Hiratsuka Shizuka was staring at him with half-closed eyes, her face flushed and looking drunk.

Seriously, is he going on a drunken rampage now?

Although Hiratsuka Shizuka's embrace was very comfortable, Yukiteru still grabbed Hiratsuka Shizuka's arm, wanting to get away from this place that made him somewhat distracted.

Before they even started playing, Hiratsuka Shizuka, despite being drunk, was surprisingly strong. She grabbed Yukiteru's waist and, with a thrust, flipped him over, pinning him face up on the floor. She then straddled Yukiteru, giving him a real "bed slam."

Looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was gazing at him with seductive eyes, strands of her hair fell down and touched Yukiteru's cheek, making him feel a little itchy.

Swallowing hard, Xuehui looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka and said, "Shizuka-nee, you're drunk. Let go of me and get some rest."

"No, I'm seven parts drunk and three parts sober. I've had just the right amount today." Hiratsuka Shizuka exhaled a breath of alcohol, looked at Yukiteru, and suddenly asked, "Hey, Yukiteru, why...?"

"Huh? What?"

"Why am I still single? Am I not pretty enough?" As she spoke, Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes reddened.

Although the life consultation was great, something was wrong with the current situation. With his lower body pinned down, Yukihiro vaguely felt that his little Yukihiro was showing signs of awakening, and he felt that the situation was getting worse and worse.

"Well, of course Jing is beautiful, it's just that those people have no taste and don't see how good you are."

What else could I do but go along with what the other person was saying?

"You really think so? Then... Yukiteru, do you like me?" Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled and leaned closer to ask.

This is going to get worse... I have to hold back, I have to hold back.

Chapter 28 At this moment, Yukiteru faces a choice.

The Hiratsuka Shizuka who appeared before Yukiteru no longer had her usual capable and assertive demeanor. Instead, she had the air of a little woman, and her watery eyes were constantly attracting his attention.
