A newbie's anime life diary

After having a satisfying meal, and watching the cute girl readily pay the bill with company money without a second thought, the group got into their car and headed to the villa area where they would stay for the next few days.

This is a newly built upscale villa area, which is considered to be housing for a certain high-end population.

After showing the pass and driving in, we quickly arrived at the villa we had booked.

"It's a three-story building with a huge amount of space, and it even has its own backyard. There's also a heated swimming pool on the first floor. It's amazing, but I probably can't afford it in my lifetime." After stopping the car and leading everyone to the front of the villa, the cute girl said with a longing look on her face, and then she started to cry.

"Well, don't be so pessimistic, girl. Maybe you'll marry a good man in the future, and you can live in one house and throw it away later." Xuehui smiled and comforted the girl as he saw the keys in her hand.

"Ah, I guess I should just forget about such unrealistic dreams. Besides, I think my current little place is pretty comfortable." After laughing carelessly for a couple of minutes, the cute girl prepared to go back.

As she approached the car door, she turned to Xuehui and asked, "Teacher Kong, what exactly is your relationship with these people?"

"Relationship?" Looking at the girl with a curious expression, Xuehui shrugged and said directly, "They're all in my harem."

She opened her mouth, shook her head, and exclaimed in amazement, "Your body is so healthy, I admire you."

Then, she opened the car door, got in, and drove away. Clearly, she didn't believe Xuehui's explanation and took it entirely as a joke.

After watching the cute female tour guide leave, Xuehui said to everyone, "Alright, this is where we'll be staying for the next five days. Let's go in and take a look, and choose our rooms."

After the door opened, everyone rushed inside, especially Shiwa and Eriri. After all, in Japan, housing is generally small, and rooms are quite small. Even Yukiteru's current house in Chiba is only large in the common area on the first floor; the upstairs bedrooms are only about three stories larger than a typical Japanese room.

Shiyu was born into an ordinary family; she lived in an apartment when she was young, and her parents moved into the house they were in later. Eriri, on the other hand, lived in a villa, but its decor and layout were completely different, which greatly interested her.

Of the five people, except for Sister Xiaojing, they all went straight upstairs to look at the bedroom. Xuehui was left in the living room, looking at the piles of suitcases, unable to contain himself for a long time.

Xuehui shook his head when he saw his sister Xiaojing sitting leisurely on the sofa, gazing at her. He had no choice but to carry all the luggage upstairs himself.

After eating, I ran up and down the stairs three times, and my stomach felt a bit wobbly.

Not long after they sat down, they saw Yukino and the others coming downstairs.

"What's wrong? Is the room ready?"

“They’re all pretty much the same, it gets boring after a while. It’s just about taking out the clothes and arranging them.” Yukino replied, then glanced at the excited Utaha and the others, and continued, “These girls are so restless, they say they want to go check out the indoor pool right now.”

"Emmm~ Can't you just get some rest and go to bed earlier?"

"Sleep, sleep, sleep! Forget about sleeping, get up and party!" Haruno shouted, then rushed over and grabbed Yukiteru's hand, trying to drag him over as well. Eriri also ran over, grabbed her other hand, and said, "The pool! With so many cute girls like us, don't you want to see our swimming styles?"

"...Please, none of you brought swimsuits, what are you looking at? Can we wait until tomorrow? We'll go out and buy swimsuits, and you can run around in the pool for a whole day and night if you want, I won't care." Yukiteru said bluntly, glancing at Eriri and then at Haruno.

However, he underestimated the women's ability to get carried away. Yang Nai bluntly said, "So what if you didn't bring a swimsuit? Just wear your underwear! Or, to be even more blunt, you can swim naked!"

"Hmm~~~~ Let's go! Let's go together! I love swimming, I love sports! We've been eating for over half an hour, it's time to exercise a bit to digest!" With her eyes lighting up instantly, Yukiteru stopped needing Haruno and Eriri to pull her along. Instead, she excitedly grabbed Haruno and Eriri and headed towards the indoor pool.

Watching the three people walk away, Yukino and Utaha exchanged a glance and said, "Should I have told them sooner that there's a room next to the swimming pool where swimsuits are kept?"

In response, Shiyu grabbed her long hair that fell to her chest, twirled it around her fingers a few times, and said with half-closed eyes, "Whatever, to be honest, I'd really like to try skinny dipping. Maybe I shouldn't say anything?"

"...We're here on vacation, so let's be a little more restrained."

After Yukino and Utaha went to the swimming pool, Shizuka slowly got up and stretched her arms to go up to the second floor.

I should take a shower and get some rest.

Rumor has it that the water in public swimming pools is very dirty, supposedly mixed with various unknown liquids. Is that true? I've never been there...

Chapter 358 Getting Too Excited

In the end, Xuehui did not see any nude swimming in the indoor pool, because after walking around, they saw a room specifically for storing swimsuits.

All of Haruno's previous statements were just to fool Yukiteru. As soon as she saw the changing room, she rushed over with Eriri.

Skinny dipping? What's that? It doesn't exist!

Although Yukiteru was initially angry about Haruno's change of heart, thinking it was too unfair, about ten minutes later, his eyes lit up when he saw girls in swimsuits coming out of the changing room.

Actually, even if we can't see them swimming naked, looking at them in swimsuits is pretty good too! After all, everyone here has fair skin, beautiful looks, and great temperament. Although Yukino and Eriri's scores were slightly lower, that didn't stop Yukiteru from giving them high scores overall!

After watching the girls swim for about half an hour, they had all had enough exercise and came out of the water, wrapped in towels, ready to take a shower. The bathtubs in the upstairs bathrooms were all very large.

The Japanese love taking baths, but unfortunately, their homes are often cramped. Even with a bathtub, there's barely enough room for one person to lie down. This isn't the case in China, where you can lie in a bathtub full of water and roll around to the left and right as much as you like.

A luxurious bathtub—you deserve it!

However, Yukino and the others were really mean; they wouldn't let Yukiteru go and shower with them. After entering the room, they locked the door and told him to shower by himself.

Emmmm~ Although Xuehui has the key and can open the door, he won't do it. The girls are all tired from playing around, and Xuehui won't do anything extra at this time.

Entering Xiaojing's room, I found she had already showered and was lying in bed in her pajamas reading a book. A singing competition variety show was playing on the TV in the bedroom. Before Xuehui transmigrated to this world, there were similar shows on his own planet. While they were quite interesting at first, they became tiresome after a while. Once a show became popular, countless similar "borrowed" shows appeared, bombarding viewers with aesthetic fatigue.

When Xiaojing saw Xuehui come in, she smiled and asked, "How's the pool?"

"The water is kept at a constant temperature, which is quite nice." Sitting down by the bed, Xuehui looked at Xiaojing, whose face was flushed with health after taking a bath, and said, "The water is very clean and the temperature is just right. If you have time, you can go play in the water. It is said to be good for pregnant women."

Nodding, Sister Xiaojing patted her lower abdomen and said with a smile, "Okay, we can try it tomorrow. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've gone swimming. Alright, you should go take a shower too, it's getting late."

"Okay, I'll sleep with you tonight."

"Where are Eriri and the others?"

"They're all playing so wildly, they'll be sleepy soon, so let's not bother them anymore." Xuehui leaned over and pecked Xiaojing's lips, then went to the next room, took out a few changes of clothes, and returned to Xiaojing's bathroom to take a shower.

As the night passed, just as Yukiteru had said, whether it was Haruno and Eriri, or Yukino and Utaha, they were all a bit excited last night. After a four-hour flight, they got carried away and fell asleep quickly after chatting for a while. As a result, none of them went back to their own rooms and all huddled together.

That night, Xuehui cuddled with Xiaojing and slept soundly on the Simmons bed before waking up, urged by her biological clock.

"Hmm, it's alright, 8 o'clock, not too early." Xuehui glanced at the time, looked at Xiaojing, who was still fast asleep in his arms, then carefully pulled his hand out, put on a nightgown, and got up.

When they arrived at Yukino's room and opened the door, they found that she wasn't inside, and the bed hadn't even been moved much.

Then, they went to Utaha and Eriri's rooms again, and the situation was the same.

It wasn't until they arrived at Yukino's room that Yukiteru noticed the other three. Inside, on the large bed, all four girls were curled up under the covers, and because the blankets were big enough, none of them were cold.

Yukiteru walked over to Yukino, who was sleeping beside him, and poked Yukino's cheek.

A moment later, Yukino groggily opened her eyes, glanced at Yukiteru squatting beside the bed, and said, "Ah, is it morning already? Hmm... I feel so tired..."

"Of course you're tired. You were all so excited yesterday, even going swimming. You're going to get what's coming to you this morning." Yuki pinched Yukino's nose, and after watching her twist her neck in dissatisfaction, he let go and said, "Alright, you guys can sleep a little longer. I'll go make you breakfast. I'll wake you up when I get back, and after breakfast, I'll give you all a massage. You'll be fully recovered by noon."

Yukino glanced at Yukiteru. Although she really wanted to get up early, she was just too tired, so she could only nod helplessly and close her eyes again.

After Yukiteru left the room, Utaha, who was sleeping next to Yukino, slowly opened her eyes, yawned, and asked, "Was that Yukiteru just now?"

"Okay, let's sleep a little longer. We'll get up after he buys breakfast and comes back."

"Great, I haven't had enough sleep yet..."

On the other side, Xuehui had just changed her clothes and washed up in her room and was about to go buy breakfast when she discovered that her older sister Xiaojing had also gotten up.

"You're up? Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?" Xuehui asked curiously, looking at Xiaojing, who was dressed neatly.

In response, Xiaojing replied, "If I weren't pregnant, I might have ended up like the others. Anyway, you're already up. Are you going to buy breakfast? Let's go out together and take a walk around and see what's going on."

Xuehui naturally agreed to Xiaojing's request, and the two of them drove out in an SUV parked in the villa. Xuehui had initially thought the cooperative organization had provided only an ordinary car, but once inside, he discovered that the interior was top-of-the-line, and the vehicle's structure and windows were made of special materials—it could practically be driven as a light armored vehicle.

Xuehui knew, of course, that the other party was taking precautions, but he still felt it was a bit of an overreaction. After all, if such a situation really occurred, relying on his own abilities would be better than relying on the car.

Because there were still a few lazybones resting at home, Xuehui and Xiaojing didn't shop for too long. After looking around briefly, they bought a large amount of breakfast from a popular teahouse and brought it back.

Chapter 359 Two That Can't Get Up

When I returned, Yukino was already up and was stretching her slightly sore body in the living room.

Haruno was also up and coming downstairs in her pajamas, while Eriri and Utaha, according to Yukino and the others, were still fast asleep.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. Eriri is a homebody to begin with, and she often stays up all night to finish her artwork, so sleeping through the morning is quite common. Utaha is the same; she used to stay up late to meet deadlines for her novels and then sleep at school during the day. So when they want to relax, they both choose to sleep until they naturally wake up, avoiding getting up early whenever possible.

However, since breakfast has been bought, we definitely need to get up and eat it.

Yukino and the others started eating breakfast first, while Yukiteru went upstairs to his room and couldn't help but smile when he saw Utaha and Eriri still fast asleep under the covers.

These two usually bicker a lot, but when they sleep together, they're quite harmonious.

However, Yukiteru still decided to disturb their sweet dream.

"Eri, Utaha, it's time to get up."

Lying by the bedside, Xuehui softly called out to the two of them.

Eriri was really fast asleep. This girl usually likes to sleep in late, especially on holidays. She can sleep until 10 o'clock even when she's not cultivating immortality.

Shiyu, having already woken up once before, quickly opened her eyes again.

Upon opening her eyes, Shiyu saw Xuehui standing before her and smiled happily.

But the next second, she frowned, pouted, stretched out her hands, and said to Xuehui, "I'm so tired, I don't want to move..."

"You're even acting all cute now, huh? How come you've picked up Eriri's tricks? She's the only one at home who does this occasionally." Yuki couldn't help but chuckle at Shiho's antics.

"Hmph, so what do you think? A coquettish senior?"

"Emmm~ I think it's alright, but Shiyu is already very attractive as she is normally, so there's no need to think about changing her persona." After giving his assessment with a smile, Xuehui reached out and pulled Shiyu up from under the covers. Seeing that Shiyu's clothes were a little disheveled and one shoulder was exposed, Xuehui straightened her clothes and then said to her, "Alright, hurry up and wash up and have breakfast. I'll give you a massage later."

However, Shiyu, who had sat up, remained motionless, looking down at Yuki, and said, "Good morning kiss..."

"No, you haven't even brushed your teeth. Go wash up now!"

"Hmm... Yukiteru-kun, are you already starting to dislike me?"

"..." With a blank expression, Xuehui looked at Shiyu, who was pretending to wipe her eyes but didn't shed a single tear. He raised a hand and slapped Shiyu's bottom while she was kneeling.

"Go!"

With a loud "snap!", it made a very clear sound and felt great to the touch.
