All the people who like me are other people’s girlfriends! ?

"Guo, it really is like this..."

Looking up at the forced smile of the Sky-drop System, Qingye quickly added:

"Childhood sweethearts have their own advantages, and so does a gift from heaven. There's no need to specifically compare them...most boys probably feel this way."

Of course, 8K and 4K are excluded.

Although he is now a 4K fan.

"Well, if Kiyono-kun was the protagonist of a light novel who was confessed to, which one would you prioritize, your own feelings or the heroine's feelings?" Chaoyun said softly, stroking the patterns on the chess piece, Keima.

"I do not know."

Kiyono wisely avoided this option and looked up at the literary girl. "Asagumo-san is very gentle."

"Eh? Why do you say that?" Chao Yun tilted her head slightly, and her soft black hair tilted along with it.

"Because you're wondering if your actions were solely about yourself, without considering those two people. It seems to me that your attitude is like you're trying to take responsibility for other people's feelings as well."

Qingye put down the chess piece in his hand, drank a sip of tea, and continued:

"If you like someone, just say it out loud. It's not mean, it's strong... That's what I think."

As he spoke, he glanced at Banaijian beside him.

“So there’s this kind of opinion…”

Chao Yun looked at him, her eyes moist and shining, and the dust accumulated in her heart was slowly wiped away.

"Kiyano-kun looks like a younger brother, but he gives people a very reliable feeling." She moved the chess piece gently, her thoughts still clear.

Ba Nai's eyes fixed, and he noticed something was wrong.

Did those lines just now... increase your favorability?

As they talked, the outcome of the first game was decided.

Qing Ye was defeated.

She was obviously distracted... Qingye was a little depressed. If Banaijian was at the level of a novice instructor, then Chaoyun was obviously the first boss encountered after leaving the novice village. Even she couldn't beat him. It was really hard to get these 50,000!

*

Continuous special training.

Finally, in the 21st game after 20 consecutive losses, he won his first victory!

At the moment of victory, Qingye lay on the chair, took a deep breath, and sighed:

"It was a hard-fought victory."

“That’s really amazing.”

As Chihaya Asagumo looked at Qingye who was making continuous progress with the corners of his lips raised, and subconsciously pursed her lips to reveal a gentle smile. Then she stood up, stretched out her hand, and touched his head. Yanaijian next to her gave her a subtle look, and at this time, she realized something belatedly and slowly withdrew her hand.

"Ah... I don't know why, but looking at Kiyono-kun makes me feel like I'm looking at a younger brother. Maybe it's because of our age?"

The literary girl blinked, her tone and expression as natural as water.

"Why do everyone like to be an older sister..." Qingye didn't understand.

"Then I'll go home today. We'll play chess again next time. Then, classmate Banaijie can come along." Chaoyun Chihaya picked up her schoolbag. It was almost time for the store to open.

The three of them waved goodbye.

After Chao Yun left, Banaijian also showed an expression as if it was over, and gave him a thumbs up with a smile.

"It feels great. Now Qingye-kun will definitely be able to convey his feelings!"

So what exactly do you want to convey?

Although he didn't quite understand, the atmosphere was so good that Qingye still smiled brightly.

*

The smile disappeared.

"...Why does the competition have to be held at your house?" Qingye looked at the entrance and living room in front of him, which were so familiar that they were second only to the Internet cafe, and turned to look at Banaijian indifferently.

"This, this is the last formidable opponent I've prepared for you. If you defeat him, you'll definitely win the championship!"

Seeing that he was avoiding her gaze, Banai simply pushed him on the back and pushed him in.

In the living room, there was already a demon waiting.

This person is...

"So this is your father?" The moment Qingye saw the handsome uncle's face, his heart was in turmoil and lightning flashed through his mind.

Connected.

All connected.

Why did this uncle keep staring at me, why did he have such a complicated look in his eyes, why did he give me a feeling of danger and I didn't want to get close to him - the last point might be an overthinking.

Qingye Lingbing turned his head and whispered in Yanaijian's ear with gritted teeth, "What the hell is going on?!"

"Oh, it's for your own good." The girl smiled innocently.

Qingye turned his head again and smiled cheerfully: "Nice to meet you again...Uncle, I think you may have misunderstood something."

The man in a well-tailored suit raised his eyebrows: "Huh? What did I misunderstand?"

"Ms. Banaijian and I are just close friends..."

Qingye's mouth twitched. He was sure of this, but how to explain such a thing?

"So we're just close friends. Don't just stand there. Sit down." The old father seemed enthusiastic. "Have some water. We still have three hundred rounds of battle to go."

This is supposed to be about playing chess, right? It shouldn't be about a real-life duel, right?

Since he is Banaijian's father, he can't treat him as a perverted uncle. He hasn't been to this uncle's house for the past two months, and he has been eating his meals for free - Qingye responded, sat down politely, and gulped down a big gulp of water.

"Little brother, what are your hobbies?" The man glanced at his daughter and asked slowly.

"Just reading books, playing chess and so on." Qingye answered truthfully. He had just been forced to play chess by Banaijian in the past few days.

"Huh? You're a passionate young man, don't you have some hobbies that teenagers should have? Like gaming, clubbing, nightlife, making friends with the opposite sex... It's okay, it's all understandable."

"I'm just reading a book..."

Qingye paused and added emotionlessly, "I don't have the money to go to these places."

This is a decisive blow.

The old father's sinister face froze instantly. He felt the piercing gazes from his daughter and wife - this made him feel a little guilty and a little helpless. Between outsiders and himself, you actually don't support the head of the family?

He coughed twice and very deliberately changed the subject. "Come on, Qingye-kun, you're here to play chess today, right? Let's play chess. You want to play shogi because you admire my chess skills, right? If you can beat me in just a few days, I might consider it."

——What's that?! And who are you? Who admires you?

Qingye was stunned. He always felt that Ba Nai had seen this girl instill some incredible information into his father.

No matter what, he could only sit opposite her on the sofa.

The chessboard has already been set.

The wooden chessboard gleamed with a textured color under the light, and the edges were slightly worn. It was obvious that it was an item that had been used for many years and was well maintained. He also knew how Banaijian had developed his chess skills.

The blue-haired girl also quietly came over.

Qingye didn't think too much about it, nor did he care about what the uncle said - he felt that it was not as good as the 50,000 yen!

"Let's fight with all our might, putting our dignity as men at stake." The old father was very excited, with a look of frustration outside the game but recovery within.

Qingye slowly pushed the infantry forward with a serious expression. The difficulty of this big boss was indeed not comparable to that of Banaijian and Chaoyun before.

The man made his move naturally, his expression gentle and mellow, showing the nature of a kind and benevolent elder.

But...Huh? Is this just my imagination?

I feel that I am not as good as Emperor Chaoyun.

The game gradually entered the middle stage, with crisp sounds of pieces being dropped. The uncle's king made a crisp sound at the 9th position and was sandwiched between Kiyono's Keima - it happened that Yanami had finished eating a Taiyaki and casually stuck the bamboo stick in the middle of the chessboard.

"This ghost-killing tactic was taught by Master Yanaijian himself."

"Teacher? Xingcai, you actually taught him all our secret techniques? How many times did you play chess secretly?" The old father was so frightened that he even forgot to take away the bamboo sticks.

Qingye said nothing and just chased after him.

The crisscross chessboard is filled with densely packed chess pieces, intertwined with each other. The infantry are charging bravely, the gold general and the silver general are fighting each other, the king is sitting on the clouds, and both sides are sitting quietly in front of the chessboard, each in a state of deep thought. The scene is extremely solemn.

Da, da, da, the pieces fall crisply;

Knock, knock, knock, in the kitchen, mom is preparing dinner;

The subtle hum of the air conditioner serves as background music;

Dad, mom, myself, that person.

Banaijian was kneeling on the table in front of the sofa, her feet wrapped in black cotton socks wiggling. She looked at the scenery in front of her and suddenly had a feeling that she would miss this moment very much in the future.

When she came back to her senses from her trance.

——The outcome is decided.

"I lost. This kid has successfully stolen the essence of the Banaijian family and has become a master of chess." The old father sighed, his voice full of loneliness.

"It's all thanks to Banaijian... and my uncle's good teaching." Qingye smiled sincerely - he was in a good mood after winning, so he said some nice words to coax them!

"One more round, one more round."

The uncle obviously hasn't had enough.

He set up the chess pieces, and before the next game began, he glanced at his daughter beside him, then at the young man in front of him, and slowly said:

"By the way, didn't I just say there would be a condition for winning?"

"Oh, don't worry, uncle, that's not why I'm playing chess with you..."

Kiyono held the chess piece in his hand and shook his head. Even if the 50,000 yen was a bonus offered by the Yanami family, he would not accept it.

"Wait for me to finish. What kind of identity do you have? Tell me in detail, and I'll see how I can help you. It's going to be very troublesome to live without an identity, right?"

The uncle looked into the boy's eyes and smiled, his voice more steady and sincere. At this moment, he seemed like the real pillar of the family.

Qingye was suddenly stunned.

He slowly realized something and turned his head.

Under the soft light, the blue-haired girl was lying on the table. When she noticed his gaze, she turned her head slightly and gave him a sly smile.

At this moment, all kinds of images emerged from Qingye's mind:

Banaijian tried hard to think of a solution after learning about his situation; Banaijian hesitated, struggled, and made up his mind to ask his father for help; and Banaijian smiled happily after coming up with this clumsy solution; Banaijian pestered him to play chess; Banaijian accompanied him in special training in order to help him win, and now, this smiling Banaijian.

There was a long silence.

He sighed softly.

"Are you stupid..."

?

053. Qingba's Major Relationship Crisis! [Two-in-One]

Although he was very touched, he was a little hesitant when the time came - this was really a big favor. During this period, he also looked up Japan's household registration system on the Internet. It is not simple, nor difficult. In short, it is troublesome, very troublesome, or it is the same in every country.

So he subconsciously hesitated for a moment. His relationship with the Banaijian family was obviously not yet to the point where he could accept such help with peace of mind. It could be said that all this was entirely for the sake of Banaijian's face.

He looked at Ba Nai Jian who was looking worried next to him, and finally stopped worrying about it.

The girl had already come this far, and his pointless pretentiousness would only embarrass her. She probably thought of this and acted first and asked for his consent later - and this matter was very important to him, otherwise the library company would not be able to handle it.

Keep this favor in mind, and repay it double when you have the ability in the future - it won't be long, at the latest he will be able to move up in social class next year, and then you can find a way to repay the favor!

Seeing Qingye accept it calmly, Banaijian breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face again.

*

In the next few days, Banaijian's father took Qingye to various places, including the district office, committee, management bureau, hospital... and even his hometown in the countryside, because he wanted to help him establish a family relationship in a remote area, so he could be considered a member of the Banaijian family.

During this period, the uncle often used his connections to find people, and Qingye saw it all. This was another big favor.
