Is it a problem to have a harem in a stranger heroine?

"Xiao Jun, please continue. Don't worry about what I do."

"Okay, whatever you like."

Sayuri came to the kitchen and saw several unwashed glasses and greasy plates in the sink. There were oil stains and bits of tempura batter on the stove.

"Didn't Hui wash the dishes?"

It wasn't that Xiaohui didn't wash the dishes yesterday; she'd already washed the dinner dishes, and the cups and plates in the sink were leftover from a late-night snack. As for the stove, Xiaohui usually cleaned it thoroughly on weekends, since Saturdays and Sundays were when the most people ate.

"I heard Hui is busy with Xiao Jun's year-end summary meeting this weekend. If she's not available, I'll take over."

Wash and scrub ~ wash and scrub ~ wash and scrub ~ hehe——!

In just a moment, Sayuri cleaned the cups and bowls, and when she was about to wipe the stove clean, she suddenly stopped.

"Xiao Jun works hard, let's make him some midnight snack first. It's not too late to wash after you're done."

Just do it!

She opened the refrigerator and quickly found some ingredients suitable for a midnight snack, finally finding a few cans of beer in the corner.

"Xiao Jun, do you have beer here?"

"beer?!"

Bai Ye looked up at her after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he found the source.

"It happened during the Summer Comic Con. Eriri brought a few cans of beer to the celebration party. Oh—I remember, it was you who bought them for her. No one really likes beer, so we only opened one can to cheer them up, and the rest has been kept in the refrigerator."

"Can I drink?"

"Aunt, please feel free to do as you please~"

Zi La——Zi La——

A concerto of pots and pans was played in Bai Ye's house. After a while, the aroma of the food drifted into the living room, touching Bai Ye's nerves.

goo—

Fortunately, Sayuri didn't hear Bai Ye's stomach growling, otherwise she would have teased him to avenge what happened in the afternoon.

A plate of fried udon and tempura assortment was brought to the table, and Xiaobai also brought a can of beer, oolong tea and two glasses.

"Xiao Jun, eat something first."

Although it was less than 4 hours since dinner, Bai Ye was indeed a little hungry. Firstly, he gave some food to Sayuri during dinner, after all, he had the habit of eating midnight snacks. Secondly, he had been exposed to the cold wind and worked hard, so he needed sugar supplements.

"Okay, thank you, aunt."

Noticing him looking at the beer on the table, Sayuri tucked her hair behind her ears.

"Do you think it's strange for me to drink beer, Xiao Jun? Do you think of me sitting under the eaves enjoying the view with a cup of hot tea, or walking around in high-end places with a glass of red wine?"

Bai Ye paused.

To be honest, Sayuri's words made him feel awkward. He didn't understand why Sayuri suddenly cared about her own image.

"No, drinking tea doesn't mean I'm a Yamato Nadeshiko, and drinking red wine doesn't mean I'm noble. Just drink what you like. For example, I like to drink ice cola, does that mean anything about me?"

Sayuri showed a relaxed expression.

"I was abrupt. It was my first time at Xiao Jun's house and I suddenly started to care about my image. Think about it, Xiao Jun has a harem, so his image would have been thrown into Tokyo Bay a long time ago."

"No." Bai Ye also smiled and explained with a wave of his hand, "I also care about my image. Shiyu and the others insisted on calling me a hentai for a pure gentleman like me. I feel very wronged, okay? QAQ"

"Hahahaha(*^ω^*)~~" Sayuri laughed out loud, her laughter full of lightness and joy.

Then she raised the beer in her hand.

"Would you like a drink?"

"If you're accompanying your aunt." Bai Ye nodded.

Sayuri held the beer bottle in one hand and tilted the cup in the other, but only filled half the cup.

"Xiao Jun has to go to school tomorrow, so don't be too careless about your image. Don't drink too much."

"Aunt, don't you have to go to work tomorrow?" Bai Ye smiled.

"No, I've basically dealt with everything. I can handle the rest at home."

After pouring herself a full glass of beer, Sayuri picked up the glass and held it with Bai Ye. The crisp and pleasant sound of the clinking glasses was very consistent with her mood at the moment.

"cheers--!"

When the wine goes down your throat, you will not only enjoy it but also be in the mood for conversation.

"Xiao Jun, what do you say..."

"Ok?"

Sayuri burped and her face turned slightly red.

"Are the drinks in those vending machines on the street at room temperature or iced?"

"First, let's talk about the definition of room temperature and ice cold in winter."

"Hahaha, I didn't fool Xiao Jun~"

"That's what I used to tease Eriri last time. Will it work on the person who started it?"

Speaking of this, Bai Ye suddenly wanted to see what the weather was like. If it was suitable, he would go out and buy a can of Coke.

So he went to the balcony and looked around.

The rain and snow stopped, the wind eased, the temperature rose a little, and there were pedestrians on the street who might have had the same idea as him.

The weather forecast is rarely reliable.

Bai Ye hugged his arms and shook them, then exhaled a puff of white frost into the sky.

"Forget it, it's too cold, why go out?"

Chapter 988 Whether it’s good or bad, can it really be kept secret?

The next day, it was sunny.

What woke Bai Ye up today was not the alarm clock, but the concerto of pots and pans. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a snow-white... pillow.

That’s right, it’s a pillow with a chemical fleece inner core and a cover that’s a cartoon image of a big orange cat.

Seeing that the pillow was safely beside him, Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief. The greetings coming from the kitchen also implicitly told him that nothing both welcome and terrible happened last night.

……

Sayuri did stay overnight last night.

Bai Ye planned to give Sayuri his bed and sleep on the floor. Although sleeping on the floor was uncomfortable in the middle of winter, he could still sleep on the floor by the oil heater.

When he made this suggestion to Sayuri, as expected, Sayuri rejected it.

When making the proposal, Bai Ye was sitting on the edge of the bed. He did not get up to go to the closet to get the quilt, and he only moved his mouth.

This time, Sayuri saw the clue and put her hands on her hips in annoyance.

"Xiao Jun, are you sure I won't let you sleep on the floor, so you won't move?"

Having his thoughts exposed, Bai Ye smiled without feeling embarrassed.

"Because my aunt would definitely feel sorry for me, I skipped unnecessary steps. It's just like negotiating a business deal. Only by getting to the point and addressing the pain points can we accomplish greater things in less time and save more time for slacking off."

Sayuri laughed at his last sentence.

"If it's for money, I don't necessarily believe it, but if it's to slack off, to spend more time with his harem, I absolutely believe Xiao Jun would do it."

Bai Ye shouted in his heart: Long live understanding!

Then he stood up, took out a pillow from the quilt, and lay down on the bed against the wall.

"I don't know if you've heard of this, Auntie, but I have a habit of unconsciously hugging whoever I sleep with as a pillow. Tonight I'm sleeping with my pillow in my arms. Auntie, I feel at ease, and so do I."

The bed was widened a few months ago, leaving a large space between two people sleeping on either side. Unless they do it on purpose or have a terrible sleeping posture like Eriri, they will basically not cross the center line.

The current situation was similar to what Bai Ye had expected, except that the pillow had rolled to the center line at some point, and the bed looked a little messy, as if someone had rolled over it.

However, none of the above problems were a problem, because Sayuri's expression, tone, and posture were all the same as usual. Her face might even be rosier than last night because she slept warmly.

"Xiao Jun, hurry up and get up and wash up. I made breakfast."

"Oh, here it comes!"

Breakfast consisted of radish and pork miso soup, thick omelet and rice. It was the most ordinary food for an ordinary family, but Bai Ye ate it with gusto, even tilting his head back to lick every last drop of soup in the bowl.

"Auntie's cooking skills have improved again!"

Sayuri looked at him with her chin propped up, her expression seeming displeased.

"Xiao Jun, the acting is a bit too obvious."

Bai Ye greeted him with a smile, not feeling that the other person was making things difficult for him.

"It's important, but the praise is sincere. Auntie's cooking skills are much better than Xiaohui's."

Sayuri smiled, a sly smile in her smile.

"Xiao Jun eats his wife's lunch box. Isn't that a token of his love for her?"

Bai Ye wanted to say that it was a "love lunch box", but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't think it was wrong. In the eyes of everyone in the school, Xiaohui had already secured the role of wife.

"A kind gesture warms the heart, and good food satisfies the stomach; both are indispensable. Also, I didn't say Xiaohui's cooking wasn't delicious. I told people not to take my words out of context, but everyone's playing 'excerpt' on me."

"Yeah, then Mr. Xiao, please treat me to lunch. I won't be busy anymore~"

"It's not busy, it's not busy, auntie, just take a good rest."

Even if Sayuri made a lunch box for him, Bai Ye would not dare to accept it, because he could not imagine the expression on Xiaohui's face when she held the lunch box she made and looked at the lunch box in his hand.

If the face is expressionless, it means there will be nothing to eat for three days.

If you smile, it means you won't see the sun tomorrow.

If he cried, Bai Ye would want to kill himself.

After breakfast, Bai Ye looked at the weather forecast and found that the weather would be good for the next three days.

After taking out a clean school uniform from the closet and putting it on, Bai Ye found that Sayuri was still busy in the kitchen and seemed to have no intention of leaving.

"I have to go to school. Auntie, come with me."

"It'll be quick. I'll just wash the dishes and wipe the stove."

"Just leave it there until I get home from school and wash it."

"That would leave too many loopholes, and it would probably be seen by everyone."

Sayuri wiped her hands on her apron and walked over.

"Xiao Jun, do you have any extra keys? I'll lock the door for you and return the keys to you later."

There is more than one key to the house, but Bai Ye gave them to Shiyu, Xiaohui, and Yingli respectively, and the last one is in his own hand.

"Give my key to Auntie. It's my last one."

Bai Ye took the key, which was still warm from his pocket, and handed it to Sayuri.

When Bai Ye touched Sayuri's fingertips, a subtle feeling arose in his heart.

"My aunt gave me her key, and now I'm giving her my key. It feels strangely destined..."

Sayuri took the key, curled her fingers and held the key in the palm of her hand, paused for 2 seconds, and then put the key in her pocket.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it safe."

As she spoke, she walked over to Bai Ye, straightened his tie, and smoothed the wrinkles on his collar, just like a wife before her husband left the house.

"Xiao Jun, be careful on the road~"

"Well, auntie, have a good rest today."

. . . . . .

"Good morning, Bai Ye-kun."

"Good morning, Xiaohui."

Bai Ye greeted her as usual, touched her little head as usual, and took the lunch box from her hand as usual.

Xiaohui greeted him as usual, sniffed him when being patted on the head as usual, and looked into his eyes after handing over her lunch box as usual.
