Uneasy daily life

The white figure made a villainous face, curling the corners of its mouth and raising the corners of its eyes, its voice turning cold.

"You wouldn't measure a whole pig in tons, would you?" Angelina said, her face falling. "Besides, I've already lost weight. If you keep teasing me about this, I'll get angry!"

Bai Ying looked at her in surprise: "How much weight have you lost?"

Angelina couldn't help but feel proud: "1000 grams!"

"Okay, too long to read -0.001 tons."

Bai Ying said enthusiastically, "Brave Pro, don't just lie there like an idiot, come on in, welcome..."

Goto Ichiri was pulled up unsteadily by Angelina, and the two followed the white figure into the house.

"I told you not to say that, or I'll say I rejected your confession..."

Angelina muttered to herself, mimicking someone's tone to distort the facts, attempting to establish a means of peaceful coexistence through mutual nuclear deterrence.

She had just stepped into the living room when her words abruptly stopped.

To the east, Yukino's face was cold and she exuded a chilling aura. To the south, Haruno's face was all smiles, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. To the west, Mai Sakurajima crossed her arms and legs, her brows furrowed as if she was unhappy. To the north, Toyohama and Hana were like fossilized figures with faint cracks.

"?"

Angelina couldn't understand it, but she was deeply shocked and felt confused, as if she had come to the wrong place.

Bai Ying wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Indeed, I still vividly remember rejecting your confession."

The group glanced at Angelina instinctively.

Angelina shifted slightly behind the white figure, changing the subject: "Sir, are you having a get-together with friends?"

"Previously, it wasn't a gathering, but rather a casual get-together." Yukinoshita Haruno asked curiously, "Why is Pochi-chan in Chiba? Aren't you working this afternoon?"

"Ah... phew..."

Goto Ichiri seemed not to have reacted yet, still in a semi-melted state. She took a few deep breaths, subconsciously looked at the white figure, and then subconsciously looked away. This abnormal reaction made the others' eyebrows twitch.

However, this is a very normal reaction.

No, it's okay!

Just express your meaning normally: "Come home with me to meet my parents."

This is completely abnormal!

Wait a minute! Getting the other party to cooperate means telling them the whole story behind the lie, which means the lie has been exposed.

Why didn't you tell your family that you accidentally told a lie?

Ultimately, what is the definition of a lie?

What's the point of lying?

Cosmic lightning, star explosions... Stop!

Is there a way to express one's demands in a confident, reasonable, and perfectly normal manner?

……money.

Goto Ichiri started thinking as if his mind had short-circuited, and reached into his pocket.

Then he took out twenty Fukuzawa Yukichi cards and handed them to the white figure with a do-or-die attitude.

"This, this is..."

My heart is pounding, and my hands are shaking.

The deep gaze of Fukuzawa Yukichi on the banknotes questions the human heart.

"This is all the money I've saved up, it's all for you..."

Goto Ichiri's voice trembled. She gritted her teeth and turned her head away, not daring to meet Fukuzawa Yukichi's gaze. Her voice contained three parts sorrow, three parts pain, and four parts sincerity, like a deer driven to the brink of despair.

"Please come home with me!"

The air is quiet.

A scumbag who cheats people out of their money?!

Angelina stared blankly at the equally bewildered white figure.

"Okay, I forgive you."

The white figure quickly got into character, reaching out with deep affection to pinch Fukuzawa Yukichi, pulling, pulling, pulling...

"Wait a minute..."

Yukinoshita coughed a few times, took out her wallet, pulled out a bank card, and smiled with narrowed eyes: "I'll offer one million."

"I'm sorry, but after thinking about it calmly, we're not a good match."

The white figure released her grip and turned around without any awkwardness.

puff--!

Goto Ichiri's confidence was shattered.

Chapter 109 The Long Story

"I'm sorry... Masai, I was too arrogant... I thought I was a millionaire just because I earned a measly 200,000 yen... I'm so sorry, I don't have any money..."

Goto Ichiri huddled on the sofa, sadly muttering to herself, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. Because I'm not as rich as Haruno-neechan, Shirokage won't be coming to visit anymore..."

"I suddenly have a feeling that my character has been unfairly maligned," Bai Ying pondered. "Brave Pro, is it possible that this is your fault?"

puff!

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed and shook her head, saying, "Lying to your family that you have a boyfriend... Goto-kun's idea is really absurd. This kind of lie will be exposed one day, right? Are you planning to tell another lie like 'I broke up with my boyfriend' in the future? Even if the lie is not exposed, you haven't changed anything, have you? You still have to spend countless efforts to cover up the lie."

puff!

"Oh dear, isn't there a saying that goes, 'What's fake can become real'?" Yukinoshita Haruno teased with a smile. "Maybe Pochi-chan is the kind of person who's very cunning, turning a fake boyfriend into a real boyfriend without you even realizing it."

Bai Ying nodded and said, "Indeed, since they're pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend and have met each other's parents, they're in a romantic relationship. This is a classic plot in light novels."

"That does seem to be true!" Angelina couldn't help but recall the light novel she had read, and her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Goto Ichiri. "Could this be Goto-kun's tactic?!"

"It doesn't seem like it at all, does it?" Feng Bin and Hua barely recovered from their shattering emotions and complained with a pout, "It's clearly just a stupid thing to lie unconsciously because you were caught up in that atmosphere where having a boyfriend is more classy than not having one."

puff!

Pochi Sauce, almost shrunk to the size of a microorganism, shakes her red and blue cube hair ornament and humbly confesses: "Secret Marseille, red bean paste secret Marseille..."

"But it's okay! I'll go with you to meet your parents!"

Bai Ying raised her hand and gave a thumbs up, grinning: "As the head of the Aid Department, my philosophy is to help those in distress and make the world a more vibrant place! Do you want to entrust this to me? The reliable head of the department will grant your wish! Just ask for help, and you'll receive praise from your parents, admiration from your sister, and a fake boyfriend who will elevate your reputation among others!"

Goto Ichiri suddenly reverted to his original self, his face glowing with disbelief: "R-really?"

"real!"

"Then, then I need to entrust..."

Things unfolded in a non-linear, leaping manner, and a commission to impersonate a boyfriend was thus made.

Cheers and jubilation filled the air as people eagerly jumped into the pit, burying themselves in the dirt—the same thought inevitably crossed the minds of the others.

Huh? Why is it so quiet? Shouldn't someone step in at a time like this?

Mai Sakurajima paused for a moment, looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, and suddenly realized that she wasn't the only one looking at Yukino Yukinoshita; Hana and Haruno Yukinoshita were also looking at Yukino Yukinoshita.

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita tentatively raised a question, "Is this considered a request for a departmental activity?"

Bai Ying said confidently, "Even if I do! Of course, I'm not afraid of challenges. Does the brave one dare to pretend to be the girlfriend of the Brave Pro and see who is the more powerful love interest?"

"No, this is too advanced for Goto's family," Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly. "Besides, I have cultural festival things to do. Remember to show me the script when it's revised."

What are you doing? Why didn't you stand up and point fingers, or try to stop it?!

Several pairs of eyes looked quite surprised.

Angelina frowned, realizing that things were not so simple. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly sat on a small stool on the side of the sofa and secretly observed the situation.

"Thank you so much! I can never repay your kindness!"

Goto Ichiri was moved to tears.

"Then go outside and wait. I'll go with you to meet your parents later."

The white-clad figure issued the order with an air of authority.

"Hai!"

Goto Ichiri was overjoyed. Without thinking, she raised her hand in salute and excitedly ran out the door. Great! She was able to cover up her lie!

I promise I won't tell that kind of lie again!

boom.

The sound of the door closing came from behind.

Kazuka Toyohama couldn't help but mutter, "Is this guy... an idiot?"

"Poch-chan is indeed just as idiotic as Waka-chan, easily doing inexplicable things when she's emotional." Yukinoshita Haruno was quite exhausted today, so annoyed that she couldn't even maintain her usual easygoing and cheerful demeanor. She rested her chin on her hand, glanced at her slightly unfamiliar younger sister, and then at the white figure that had turned around. Her voice was slightly deep as she said, "You jerk, now that you've brought this up, shouldn't you say something?"

Feng Bin and Hua glanced at their sister subconsciously, feeling an urge to flee the scene, but they didn't understand why, so they remained seated.

Mai Sakurajima crossed her arms and legs, her brows furrowed as she pondered something, unusually confused about the situation.

“I wanted to wait until the school festival, to see you perform your favorite play for me, but…” Yukino Yukinoshita paused slightly, her gaze shifting somewhat awkwardly, and said softly, “Shouldn’t you say something to make me happy?”

The air became a little quieter.

"I've seen the person."

The white-clad figure laughed and asked, somewhat bewildered, "Have you seen anyone?"

"It's strange that you've never seen such talent before, isn't it?" Feng Bin and Hua bantered subconsciously, but when they noticed that others were looking at them, they quickly straightened their faces and pretended that they hadn't said anything.

"I haven't met too many people, definitely not more than ten thousand, less than one millionth of all mankind, and I know even fewer, perhaps only a dozen or so."

The white-clad figure spoke naturally, stepping forward to Yukino Yukinoshita. His voice was casual, yet inexplicably solemn: "I once felt proud and honored to be human, and I loved the wisdom, spirit, culture, and glory that are constantly sung about, grand and sublime..."

"Yukino, at times like this, you should reach out your hand and let me hold it."

Startled by being called by name, Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment, recalling the embarrassing situation that had made her instinctively hide...

Although you seem very serious, doing that in public is just too weird!

Yukino tried to refuse, but the white figure grabbed one of her hands with lightning speed.

Rarely felt, Bai Jun's proactive yet slightly forceful physical contact made his heart beat a little faster.

Hmm... Calm down!

Yukino Yukinoshita met the white figure's gaze and couldn't help but blink. It was as if she were sitting in front of a campfire, with the evening breeze blowing the flames, making them sway before her eyes.

"I like you."

"Hold onto your ideals, maintain your passion, and aspire to the right path. Stars fall from the night sky and into your gazing eyes, shining exceptionally brightly."

Yukino Yukinoshita froze, momentarily lost in thought, her mind going blank.

Bai Ying released her grip and walked straight towards Feng Bin and Hua, her tone changing: "I was once filled with doubt and anguish about people, entangled in that straightforward folly, which was composed of confusion, rebellion, anger, self-loathing, self-consolation, and apathy that were pushed out by the world..."

Feng Bin and Hua widened their eyes and lowered their voices: "Are you talking badly about me?"

"I like you."

Feng Bin and Hua were stunned. Their lips moved as if they wanted to say something, but their sister was still watching!

Bai Ying took her left hand and smiled gently, as if the leaves were suddenly rustling joyfully in the sweltering heat, carrying a message from the wind.

"Calm and unhurried, taking things as they come, unaware of right and wrong, unable to understand cause and effect. A stone thrown into the river makes a splashing sound, which can be both disturbing and refreshing, reflecting your true feelings."

"?" Feng Bin and Hua didn't hear it clearly; their minds were just spinning.

Damn it! What are you doing? Why, why did you tell me you like me? You should... But, if that's what you think, well, there's nothing I can do about it, right?

No! I can't think like that, wouldn't that be letting my sister down?!

Feng Bin and Hua were shaken and conflicted, deeply disgusted by their own weakness and fickleness.

The white figure easily released her grip and strode towards Yukinoshita.

"Shut up, haven't you had enough of this today?"
