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

. . . . . .

Everything is settled.

After leaving the agency, Bai Ye's pretending to be serious suddenly couldn't hold back, and he slapped the contract in his arms and laughed out loud. If he wasn't afraid of being seen by the agent who was greeting him behind him, he would have jumped up on the spot.

"I got the house~(?ω?)~hiahiahia!"

Sayuri, who was holding his hand, was infected by him, and her cherry lips curved into a beautiful crescent shape.

"Xiao Jun is happier than I thought~"

"Yes." Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief. "This reminds me of the first deal I made after coming here. It was as if I saw a bright future and felt a sense of security."

Sayuri held Bai Ye's right hand with both hands, and her tone was as if she saw the same future as Bai Ye.

“It will get better and better.”

Bai Ye smiled back.

"Everything that needs to be done has been done. Come on, I'll treat you to a meal! Hey——" Bai Ye slapped his forehead.

"What's wrong?" Sayuri asked with concern.

"I should have booked a good restaurant in advance. Sayuri, you've been busy building a new house. How can I not treat you to a good meal?" Bai Ye looked regretful.

"Xiao Jun, listen to me."

Sayuri's voice calmed him down, and Green Onion pointed at his chest.

“It’s the thought that counts, not the money.”

"People who don't know each other well will use money to show their appreciation for each other, and people who know each other well will cater to each other's preferences because they understand each other. Is my relationship with Xiao Jun still at the stage where I use money to express my feelings? If that's the case, I'll be very sad."

Bai Ye hurriedly shook his head, fearing that the other party would misunderstand him.

Ever since he met Sayuri, he had never heard her talk about her hobbies (except BL comics), but after being together for so long, he gradually understood her preferences.

accompany.

As long as she is with Sayuri, she will feel genuinely happy no matter what they do together.

Bai Ye sighed in his heart more than once:

Who wouldn't be moved by a woman like Sayuri who is both capable of being a lady in the living room and a good cook in the kitchen, and who can go to elegant palaces or eat in small street restaurants?

"If I take Sayuri..."

Bai Ye woke up as if from a dream, and quickly put the crazy ideas that suddenly popped up in his mind behind him.

However, he seemed unaware that he had already decided on the name "Sayuri" in his mind.

……

Although Sayuri said, "It's the thought that matters, not the money," Bai Ye still chose a restaurant that looked more upscale, which he saw when he was shopping with Sayuri.

"If we go to a teishoku restaurant, the owner might be worried about getting your clothes dirty, Sayuri. This place is perfect for you; it goes perfectly with your outfit."

Sayuri knew what he was thinking, so she nodded and went in with him.

"Welcome, both of you~" the waiter greeted.

"Try to choose a corner location with fewer people." Bai Ye requested.

"You two, please follow me."

The reason why Bai Ye chose a seat in the corner was that he didn't want others to hear what he was chatting with Sayuri. Judging from Sayuri's expression, she seemed quite satisfied with Bai Ye's arrangement.

"I'd like some bacon and mushroom pasta," Sayuri ordered.

"I'd like a teppanyaki assorted steak with black pepper sauce and a small vegetable salad."

Shaoshiba has chicken chop, pork chop and beef chop, satisfying three wishes at once.

After the waiter left, Bai Ye took the initiative to pour water for Sayuri.

"Sayuri, you ordered the main course, so I'll have a meat dish."

"Is this how you eat Western food?" Sayuri tilted her head and smiled.

"Who cares? Just be happy. No one says you can't share Western food."

That’s right, just be happy.

Sayuri thought as she drank some water:

It is not easy to make both you and I better off, and it is an unattainable luxury to make everyone better off. Not to mention that the world will find it difficult to understand what you are trying to do.

"You can't hit me when I put my fork into your bowl," Bai Ye said jokingly.

"What if I say no?" Sayuri asked.

"It won't be up to you, Sayuri, later."

Chapter 1010 Candlelight Dinner for Two with Sayuri Sawamura

"My two guests, the meal is served."

After saying "I'm ready to eat", Bai Ye picked up the knife and fork and served the food to Sayuri first, just like he did at home.

First, cut the assorted steaks into bite-sized pieces, then roll up two balls of pasta and place them on Sayuri's plate. Then, artificially place the steaks on a trivet, top with vegetable salad, and finally garnish with some black pepper sauce to make shooting stars.

Sayuri watched his performance quietly until he was satisfied and then spoke:

"Xiao Jun seems to be having a lot of fun~"

Bai Ye scratched his face feeling a little embarrassed. At first he was sharing the food with the other person, but as he was doing it, he gradually became more playful and wanted to express his gratitude.

At this time, Sayuri raised her knife and fork.

However, she did not eat the food in front of her, but instead picked up some food from Bai Ye's plate just like Bai Ye did.

"I'll also help Xiao Jun distribute the food."

Sayuri did not arrange the dishes, but simply put a little of each dish on Bai Ye's plate.

"You didn't put the food on the plate for me." Bai Ye pretended to be dissatisfied.

“Isn’t eating more important?”

Sayuri said no, but her body was very honest. She imitated Bai Ye and set up the back row as a tripod, but that was all.

"It seems that Xiao Jun was infected by the atmosphere of this store. The form is actually not important."

Bai Ye did not deny it. He really wanted to do something to thank Sayuri for her efforts. The plating was influenced by the atmosphere of the restaurant.

"Don't you care about form anymore?"

Sayuri shook her head and explained:

"Under normal circumstances, I would gladly accept whatever form Xiao Jun gave me. But if Xiao Jun expressed gratitude, the form wouldn't be so important."

Bai Ye was speechless, unable to understand Sayuri's train of thought.

Generally speaking, one of the ways to express gratitude is through form. The more grand the form, the better it can express the gratitude of the person being helped.

Bai Ye thought of a few explanations:

"Has Sayuri already passed the stage of caring about form?"

"Yes." Sayuri looked up at the sky, as if recalling something. "Grateful gestures, even those without a purpose, can sometimes not only make the person being helped feel awkward, but also leave the other person feeling lost and even annoyed."

"Does my gratitude bother you?" Bai Ye asked.

Gratitude that makes the other person feel annoyed is not gratitude at all. Even if Sayuri doesn't say it, Bai Ye will feel uncomfortable.

"No." Sayuri smiled. "Formality is related to the closeness or distance of the relationship between the two parties. I don't think that given my relationship with Xiao Jun, do we need to be overly formal? There are obviously better ways."

Bai Ye understood.

Sayuri's current way of expressing her gratitude in a tactful way was too polite and courteous, making her feel unfamiliar.

As for a better way, Bai Ye couldn't think of it at the moment.

"Has Sayuri ever worried about this before?" Bai Ye wanted to get to know the woman in front of him who was both an elder, a family member, and a friend.

Sayuri sighed and supported her chin with one hand.

"I've been troubled, and quite a few times, and even felt embarrassed, but I had to accept it out of courtesy. I've grown tired of it over the years. So to you, Xiao Jun, and everyone else, a simple thank you is enough to express my gratitude. I wouldn't know what to say if I said more."

The "everyone" she mentioned naturally refers to Bai Ye's harem. This group of girls who have experienced the test of time and feelings are worthy of her true love.

Bai Ye understood a little more.

Sayuri herself longs for companionship and is not difficult to get close to, but many people are unwilling, afraid, or unable to get closer to Sayuri due to her name and worldly concerns.

"I feel like I've gotten to know you better, Sayuri."

"Hmm~" Sayuri's face, which was troubled by the memory, immediately turned into a smile, "Xiao Jun's better understanding of me is a better way for me to express my gratitude."

"Isn't it the best?" Bai Ye also smiled.

"It's up to Xiao Jun to figure it out~"

……

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The two men clinked their glasses. Although the glasses contained grape juice instead of wine, a faint blush of drunkenness appeared on their faces.

"Xiao Jun, have you thought about the renovation plan? Tell me about it. We can start decorating after the New Year."

Bai Ye thought about giving this renovation fee to Takeshi Gouda, but the latter might not be able to handle it due to his size, so he would just give some to Takeshi Gouda, and the bulk of it would still have to be left to Sayuri.

"I have a plan in mind, but I also want to hear everyone's thoughts."

"That's fine. Just tell me now. Even if Mr. Xiao doesn't mention it, I'll collect everyone's opinions and then make a comprehensive plan. Besides..."

Sayuri spun the wine glass, her eyes reflected through the grape juice and the glass, a blurry wine-red color.

"Everyone will say that Xiao Jun's opinion is the most important, not just because it was Xiao Jun who bought the house. Do you believe it?"

"I believe it." Bai Ye's mind flashed with everyone's faces, and he couldn't help but smile.

He believed that these kind-hearted girls would indulge his willful and even hentai thoughts and actions even though they said no and spoke harshly.

"I won't talk about things like yard work and lawn mowing. I mentioned last time that I want to add a single-lens curtain wall to the pool. The thing I want to change most is the bathroom."

Sayuri seemed to have thought of something, and her smile was playful.

"Yeah, I'm listening."

"Isn't there a bathroom between the master bedroom and the guest bedroom? I plan to make the master bedroom about the same size as a regular room and use the empty space as a bathroom. I'll also install a huge bathtub!"

Bai Ye was just short of having Hentai and evil engraved on his forehead.

There are 7 rooms in total in the house. After giving the guest room to Sayuri, there is no room left for Bai Ye.

His idea was very simple. It was both appropriate and inappropriate for anyone in the harem to live in the master bedroom. Instead of making everyone feel embarrassed, it would be better to convert part of the master bedroom into a bathroom, thus killing two birds with one stone.

After telling Sayuri about my idea, I immediately got her approval.

"Xiao Jun, your idea is good, but..." Sayuri looked a little embarrassed.

"Just nothing."

"If that's the case, wouldn't my room become the largest in the house? That feels a bit weird."

"If the bigger the house, the higher the status, then it seems like I'm Xiao Jun's wife..."

Bai Ye didn't know why Sayuri suddenly blushed, but he didn't care.

"It's okay. This is what I promised you. Besides, Sayuri, you are the elder. Everyone will understand if you live in a bigger house. There is no one more suitable than you."

Sayuri: (〃ノωノ)

Sayuri was shy for a long time, and finally, before Bai Ye was about to ask, she stopped the blush from spreading to her ears, and quickly drank a full glass of water, making her face look a little more normal.

"Sayuri, you didn't catch a cold, did you?" Bai Ye couldn't help but ask with concern.

"No, I just suddenly thought about what Xiao Jun would do with everyone in the bathroom after it was repaired. Xiao Jun was a little too bold~~"

Chapter 1011: After dinner, let’s go shopping

Dinner is over, probably...

After eating and drinking, Bai Ye and Sayuri left the restaurant.

"It's already eight o'clock. Where are you going next, auntie?"
