Uneasy daily life

"Uncle has misunderstood."

Bai Ying glanced gently at Goto Ichiri, who couldn't lift her head, and said seriously, "We were just playing a little game. Brave Pro asked me to praise her to test her mental resilience. If she couldn't handle it, she should pretend to lose a banknote to me."

Michiyo Goto nudged her husband without making a sound, and Naoki Goto, who looked quite young, quickly sat up straight and coughed, "Uh... um? Hero Pro?"

"This is a nickname."

Suspicious, extremely suspicious!

Don't you know your own daughter? You think she can find a boyfriend? She'll only meet people with ulterior motives!

Naoki Goto couldn't help but ask, "Are you really Ichiri's boyfriend? This might be a strange question, but..."

"Hero Pro has lied before?" Bai Ying raised an eyebrow and said with interest, "That's not surprising, but what lies did she tell before?"

Goto Ichiri's eyes widened: Huh? Wait a minute! Oh my gosh!

“Oh…” Goto Naoki looked nostalgic. “When I asked her how school was, she said she had made good friends and described the interactions in great detail… It wasn’t until the parent-teacher conference that I realized she didn’t have any friends at school.”

Bai Ying pinched her chin and reasoned, "She must have watched other children play and listened to them discuss various topics. She must have been envious and written them down, then replaced one of them with herself when she spoke."

puff!

My memories, my deepest memories, are stirring, trying to break free of their seal!

Goto Ichiri's features danced across her face as her hands flared erratically: "Ah, that..."

“After learning guitar, Ichiri became even more accustomed to lying.” Goto Michiyo gently touched her cheek and sighed, “I remember during the junior high school cultural festival, I asked her if she would perform playing the guitar, and she insisted that she would. But on the day of the cultural festival, my husband and I took leave to go to the school to watch the cultural festival, only to find out that she had not signed up at all.”

Bai Ying said knowingly, "He must have been fantasizing about performing at the cultural festival and being a dashing figure. When he was suddenly asked about this, he turned his imagined story into a lie and then just set up a show on the spot and let it go."

puff!

Goto Ichiri let out a mournful cry that was beyond human comprehension.

Strange, why do you know so much about Ichiri? What is your purpose? Where do you come from? Where are you going? Who is directing you?

Goto Naoki instinctively became wary, scrutinizing the other person as he continued the conversation: "Besides, there's also..."

I had a good relationship with my teachers in elementary school, but for some reason I lost all my friends and became withdrawn!

I missed a golden opportunity because I failed to build a revolutionary friendship with my classmates to complain about the teacher.

puff!

Because I didn't want to participate in the sports festival, I tried to fake illness to ask for leave for those few days, but I failed and was immediately exposed.

Huh? Then Brave Pro must be more mature now, and will actually create the illness instead of faking it.

puff!

For a period of time, there was always a gloomy and depressed atmosphere, and he kept muttering things like, "As long as I have friends, that's enough."

Intermittent self-destructive self-comfort.

puff!

My sister dances around in her room, but every time I ask her, she says she's not dancing in her room!

It's perfectly normal for excessive fantasy to spill out of the brain into reality.

puff!

Goto Ichiri leaned against the sofa, almost completely burned out, turning into ashes.

Hiring Bai Ying to impersonate her boyfriend to fool her parents... is it all really worth it?

"Ahem, so it's not surprising that Ichiri has a boyfriend this time."

Michiyo Goto calmed down a bit and said, "She's never been good at lying, yet she lies very easily, you..."

Ding dong——!

The doorbell rang suddenly.

Naoki Goto stood up in surprise, initially thinking it was some employee diligently making a sales pitch.

When the door opened, a slender girl was standing outside. Judging from her height and appearance, she clearly didn't look like a high school girl... Hmm?

“You are…” Goto Naoki managed to recall, “…Yukinoshita Haruno from the cultural festival?”

"Yes."

Yukinoshita responded in a low voice, glancing towards the living room and spotting the white figure. She walked in naturally, her voice tinged with dissatisfaction and bitterness: "You jerk, it's time to go home..."

Shocking! Scumbag dumps girlfriend!

"You actually found your way here?" Bai Ying sighed, suppressing a hint of resentment as she said, "I'm sorry, it's over between us. You should go find her, not me."

Unbelievable! A girl actually managed to steal a boy's boyfriend from the wall!

"That's just a misunderstanding." Yukinoshita glanced at the barely recognizable Goto Ichiri, her tone filled with nostalgia, wariness, and sorrow. "We were just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend back then—are you going back to your old ways now?"

Emotional connection! From fake to real – a rent-a-friend app!

"This is just unpaid labor done out of obligation."

Bai Ying looked apologetically at Goto Ichiri: "Brave Pro, it seems that the matter of pretending to be your boyfriend has been exposed, Red Bean Paste Private Masai."

Huh? The white figure is leaving?

Goto Ichiri snapped back to reality. Struggling to push part of her soul back into her mouth, she whispered in a trembling voice, her voice choked with sobs, "Go...go quickly..."

Please, please leave quickly, sob sob! I can't hold back my tears anymore!

Shouldn't the script be that the family members are surprised to hear that their daughter (or older sister) has a boyfriend, and then offer their blessings and praise?

Dad crowned himself a socialite and celebrated with a face full of pride.

My mother hung up a banner that read "Charming Girl" on herself and congratulated me with a big smile.

Erli shouted that her older sister was the best!

Theoretically, the plan was perfect; in execution, it deviated; and in reality, it was completely unforeseen…

Why did this turn into a meeting to review my embarrassing past?

Dad and Mom looked like they wanted to say something but couldn't. I didn't know what they were thinking, but it was definitely something that would make me want to explode if I heard it.

Goto Ichiri felt neither sorrow nor joy; she no longer cared about anything. She simply let herself melt into the air and dissipate into dust.

Wait, she's been caught lying about having a boyfriend—

The number of unbearable memories has increased!

Since things have come to this point, the only option left is to self-destruct...

"Huh? My sister fills the whole room!"

……

……

"Wow! You're really quick! I guessed you were just teasing Boqi-chan, but you were way too fast! I heard that 'fast' is a derogatory term for guys."

On the street, Yukinoshita raised her elbow and nudged the white figure with a grin: "Hey, hey, what did you say, you jerk?"

"According to relativity, everything is a problem if others are faster than you—"

A glint flashed in Bai Ying's eyes: "Male protagonist fantasy: All male characters become faster, but I'm unaffected!"

"...Ahem, that sounds a bit eerie."

"The fun of seeing who can pee the farthest is an incomprehensible gap between men and women," Bai Ying sighed, then added, "9528, if you want my advice, I can only say you need to seize the opportunity and go on a gold-coin-farming spree with Auntie. You can't keep going like this..."

"What? Do you hate me because I'm this kind of person?"

Yukino's face instantly turned cold: "Someone just said some random things about liking someone this afternoon. Was it a lie? A lie that requires cutting off their tongue as punishment?"

"Isn't it yourself who hates you?"

Bai Ying interrupted in surprise.

The air was silent.

"You jerk, have you had dinner yet?"

"You're treating—while you're at it, move your hand and don't challenge public order and good morals."

Chapter 112 Let's plot a grand scheme together...

"You bastard, what do you mean by the meaning of life?"

A gentle evening breeze carries the scent of barbecue smoke. The night is like clouds, the lights like rain, washing away the dust of the world.

In front of the barbecue restaurant, the owner was applying oil to the skewers and arranging them to speed up the grilling process. Two customers stood in front of the grill, preparing to pack their food to go. The boy stared intently at the owner, seemingly monitoring his every move, while the girl fiddled with her phone, her expression unreadable.

The girl put away her phone and casually asked a classic question that came to mind.

"Let's have some skewers."

"Seriously, if you're going to pick out someone else's problem, you should at least give a reasonable answer, right?"

"Let's have some extra spicy skewers."

"Boss, don't put any chili at all."

"Holy crap! How can someone like you exist?!"

The shopkeeper, holding the bottle of chili powder, paused for a moment before asking, "So, do you want some chili?"

The boy waved his hand boldly: "Release!"

The girl shook her head and said, "No, I'm the one who paid."

Caught between letting go and not letting go, the boss finally compromised: "Let go a little?"

"I remember my hand accidentally shaking."

"You jerk, tell me your thoughts on this issue."

"First, we point out a problem. Then, we indicate that we have taken certain measures to address the problem. Finally, although the problem has become a bigger problem, it also means that the initial problem was not a problem at all. You can't say that we didn't try to solve the problem."

The boy, with his hands behind his back, said, "Based on the analysis, I have solved the problem, and the kebabs are the reward I won."

The girl smiled and unleashed her ultimate weapon: "Boss, sugar, please!"

"Holy shit! You're not human!"

"Hmm? I heard that in your hometown, 'too sweet' is a derogatory term when describing food?"

"It is indeed a derogatory term, but it has nothing to do with this. Do you expect me to pour juice into beer and then tell you it's fruit wine..."

"I heard that hydrogen peroxide can quickly remove bloodstains and damage DNA."

"Looks like you're still a human being."

The two were having a back-and-forth, disjointed conversation when the middle-aged owner, grilling skewers, couldn't help but ask, "Are you a couple?"

"Well..." the girl replied with a smile, "It seems a bit complicated. What do you think, you rascal?"

"Well..." the boy thought for a moment, "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, whatever."

It seems like a young couple having a fight?

The boss couldn't help but start rambling: "You young people, if you're going to date, then date seriously. Communicate more when you encounter difficulties, and don't lose your temper when you get angry... If you can't even get over these small problems, how will you move forward in the future?"

The young man nodded slightly: "What the boss said makes sense. It's normal for people to have different tastes when eating barbecue. One likes it spicy and the other likes it non-spicy. There's no need to let the argument escalate to whether or not to add chili. Instead of arguing, why not just order two portions, one with chili and one without?"

He looked at the girl.

"That makes sense."

The boss also looked at the girl.

"Couples can't share the same food?" The girl rolled her eyes dismissively and nudged the boy with her elbow. "Or are you trying to drag out your mother's problem?"

The boy asked in surprise, "Wasn't it you who was dragging me?"

"Weren't you the one who snitched?"

The girl squinted, her smiling tone concealing a murderous intent.

Suddenly, the conversation escalated from romantic relationship issues to family matters, making it difficult for the boss to intervene. He listened attentively while focusing on grilling skewers.

"Even though I was the one who snitched, you have to believe me," the boy said sincerely. "I've always been on your side!"
