Uneasy daily life

In an instant, the world spun around, and my father lay on the ground under the snow. He wasn't in pain, but he had a strange sense of familiarity.

This, this is...

He stared wide-eyed at the white figure above.

The white figure gestured with both hands and said solemnly, "Yukinoshita family's Aikido, please instruct me!"

"Who taught you that?!" Yukinoshita's father exclaimed in shock.

"Isn't this kind of move something you can learn after trying it once?"

Bai Ying said matter-of-factly.

puff!

For various reasons, he had experienced Aikido, but he only became more and more proficient before his father, Yukinoshita, was thrown around and his Dao heart was shattered.

Is the difference between fathers-in-law or between scoundrels?

"Oh dear, brother, don't be sad."

Bai Ying squatted down beside him, patted the other's shoulder and comforted him, "Children will grow up one day and walk the path they choose. As elders, we can only watch over them quietly. Just as men will always love 18-year-old girls, the times will always favor young people..."

"Get lost! In politics, the older you are and the more connections you have, the more popular you are! You know nothing!"

Yukino's father brushed away the white shadow's claws, stood up, and was forced to calm down a bit. Then he squatted down next to the white shadow, sighed, and said, "Let's be honest. What are your thoughts on Haruno and Yukino's situation?"

"I don't have any ideas for now." Bai Ying pushed the question back, "Big brother, what do you think?"

"This is between you two, what can I say?" Yukinoshita's father skillfully dodged the question. "Isn't your opinion, as the main party involved, far more important than mine?"

Bai Ying's Tai Chi skills were no less impressive: "Since it's a matter between us, why should you meddle if you're not going to look?"

After a series of playful shoving and pushing, the two stared at each other, the air thick with tension.

Is there really a father-in-law like me in this world?!

Yukino's father sighed dejectedly, subconsciously patted his pocket, and then remembered that he had quit smoking almost twenty years ago.

"Anyway..."

"Don't worry, brother, don't you know what kind of person I am?" Bai Ying said first. "I will take your two daughters' feelings seriously, so you can rest assured..."

Yukino's father grabbed the white figure by the neck and shook it violently, leaving a blur: "How dare you toy with Haruno and Yukino's feelings?!"

"No, no, no! I'm serious!" Bai Ying's voice rose and fell with a rhythmic cadence. "Even if Big Brother has some inclination in his heart, he knows he can't have any inclination. In terms of the outcome, doesn't that mean he can't take sides? Let time tell! Perhaps the hero's feelings will gradually cool down, or perhaps 9528 will gradually open up..."

"And then you're stuck in the middle, playing the scumbag?!"

Yukino's father's murderous intent is rising!

"Calm down! I don't seduce or cheat for money. My specialty is manipulating situations and ruining the mood—in short, keeping them hooked! It won't take seven or eight years, just three to five, and this whole thing will be over!" Bai Ying said seriously. "Brother, are you willing to believe me?"

Yukinoshita's father stared intently at the white figure, his eyes still filled with murderous intent, yet also with an unusually complex expression. He looked away, unable to suppress a desire to confide in someone, since the boy's sharp eyes had probably already seen through his troubles.

"Yukino can't tolerate a speck of dust, while Haruno sees nothing but a speck of dust. One finds it hard to adapt to a complex world, while the other adapts too easily... Sigh, of course, this is just my arrogant opinion. I don't ask for much; I just hope they can be happy. But how to do that is always a question. The way my mother and I raised them gave them independence, but it also affected their sense of self."

Under the snow, the father sighed deeply, wanting another cigarette: "To pursue happiness and attain it, one must at least be able to imagine what happiness looks like..."

“Brother, you’re overthinking things. No matter what kind of person someone is, they are all complex individuals.” Baiying patted Yukino’s father on the shoulder. “In fact, as a father, you’ve done a great job by supporting the Yukino family business and being willing to care about their thoughts and inner repressions. You’re really amazing.”

Yukino's father was touched for a moment, then deeply moved: "Get lost! Don't try to give me that self-comforting anesthetic! I'm not buying it—anyway, no matter what Haruno and Yukino think or do, you have to stick to your bottom line!"

"Don't worry!" Bai Ying spoke confidently, describing the future. "As long as I keep to myself and them, going back and forth, and remain chaste, so they don't actually feel any closer, over time, as they each strive towards their aspirations, they will naturally drift apart. Then, Brother won't have to worry or be troubled. Wouldn't that be a perfect ending?"

Yukino's father frowned: "Stop talking nonsense! The bottom line is that Haruno and Yukino cannot be hurt! If you dare to hurt them, I dare to hurt you!"

If you were just a conman, swindling money and women, that would be easy enough; you wouldn't need to be forced to commit suicide. You'd be the one to kill yourself!

And yet, it was precisely this trick that stole the most precious thing from the young goddesses... Oh my god! I can't help but want to go on a killing spree again!

"Hiss!" Bai Ying gasped. "Big brother, you want me to date them all?"

"?"

Yukinoshita's father pondered this for a moment and exclaimed, "Damn! Why does it actually have that kind of meaning?"

"Anyway, just get the gist of it! Don't tell me you don't understand; I think you understand it better than anyone else!"

As Yukinoshita's father spoke, he frowned and began to think carefully: "Also, keep it to yourself. Don't tell your aunt about this. She's been sitting quietly in deep thought lately, occasionally looking up information about love triangles online. I have no idea what she's thinking or what conclusions she'll come to... I'll try to find out what she's thinking."

I have a feeling that the goddess might not actually call a meeting with everyone and discuss on the spot who should withdraw if they feel they are not good enough... Maybe not? It's obvious that the goddess is in the thinking stage recently, and hasn't reached the stage of decisive execution yet.

Ultimately, both the "little goddess" and the "big goddess" became cautious about the matter, repeatedly considering it before daring to draw any conclusions.

As Yukinoshita's father pondered, he stood up, then suddenly realized something was wrong. "Damn it! What am I thinking about this kid's situation for?!"

Oh, he's captured the hearts of many young goddesses, so it's alright.

No way! Why should I be the one living in fear, tossing and turning at night, and pulling my hair out?!

"I'm giving you a task!" Yukinoshita's father said sternly, "Spy on Haruno and Yukino's thoughts... You'll have to help me when I need it!"

Bai Ying nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, big brother! I'll definitely put in a good word for you!"

"Tsk, this doesn't sound very reliable. Oh well, I'm going back to work..."

Yukinoshita's father clicked his tongue in displeasure.

"Brother! Your sword!"

The white-clad figure presented the sword.

"It's your sword!" Yukinoshita's father said coldly. "If you cause Yukino and Haruno to be sad, you'd better know better and commit seppuku to atone for your sins!"

Turning his head, Yukinoshita's father started having a headache again. How should he report this to the goddess? How should he find out what the goddess thought? Lately, there's been a tacit understanding that everyone is avoiding talking about it, but the topic has to be started eventually.

As soon as he stepped out of the shade of the big tree, his father met a pair of eyes.

Angelina: "...Uh, hello Uncle?"

"Well, hello, hello."

Yukinoshita's father smiled and nodded habitually, then walked a short distance away.

Wolf looking back.jpg!

Angelina: "?"

Okay, calm down. Don't assume someone is a villain just because they see a young woman...

Yukino's father smiled, self-deprecatingly admitting his suspicions, and walked away.

The father under the snow is acting strangely.

Angelina scratched her head, peeked behind the tree, and suddenly heard a white shadow making furtive, sneaky noises.

"Hmm...yes...Auntie, that's what my brother thought after all that trouble...that's right! He's such a chronic procrastinator! He's too hesitant and indecisive to achieve anything great! Okay...Auntie is welcome to visit the cultural festival...Don't worry, I'm upright and honest, I've seen the error of my ways, and I'm pure and innocent. It's just that my brother gets confused and starts overthinking!"

After finishing her call, Bai Ying suddenly realized something, turned around with a wolf-like gaze, and met Angelina's speechless eyes.

“Uh…” Angelina immediately praised, “As expected of the commander!”

"Hmm? You understand and can make sense of it?" Bai Ying said earnestly, "This doesn't sound like something a good person would say. And isn't such praise inappropriate?"

"..."

Angelina paused for a moment, then flashed a bright smile and showed off her little tiger teeth: "Sir, do you know that the first law of scumbags is that they will die from unidentified falling objects?"

"Don't worry, the Assassin Queen will definitely die before me." Bai Ying coughed and said with a smile, "It's too long to read aloud. For the sake of our Class A's cultural festival, I'll tutor you so that you can be a presentable executive committee member..."

"I... I need to focus on my work as an executive committee member; I'll skip the class activities!"

Angelina was overwhelmed with worry as she thought about the activities her class was going to hold.

I have a feeling that it's not just me whose reputation is being harmed; Class A will probably become the class whose reputation is being harmed in the future!

To devise a terrorist attack that includes cram school exams during the cultural festival is simply devilish!

But everyone is so engrossed in their fantasies of being a teacher...

What's so great about being a teacher? I once saw a homeroom teacher applying hair growth serum in the office!

Huh? If the whole class gets their reputations damaged, does that mean I, who am already having my reputation damaged, won't get my reputation damaged as well?

Angelina suddenly realized that running a tutoring center might not be without its advantages.

Chapter 124 Eve of the Cultural Festival

"Your gentle gaze makes me talk about a reckless love affair... Ugh! That's so cheesy!"

Yumiko Miura trembled violently, her face contorted in a grimace, utterly unable to bear the thought of this being read aloud in public… What kind of torture is this?! Yukinoshita, are you retaliating for our past conflict? Are you holding a grudge?!

“The content of the play needs to be straightforward and exaggerated,” Yukino Yukinoshita said. “First of all, in order to express emotions and make the audience understand, the content cannot be too short. At the same time, it must be clear and direct. The content cannot be too subtle. In short, that’s it.”

"Tch! I want to embrace you and your life, no matter how heavy it may be, love will give me strength... That's all! A third-rate romance drama? A children's cartoon?!" Miura Yumiko threw the manuscript paper on the table, her face flushed, and said, "Why don't you go and read this garbage?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, "Are you sure you want me to go?"

"..." Miura Yumiko reached for the manuscript paper and said loudly, "In short, it won't work—you revise a couple of sentences about that white figure over there!"

"Stop messing around. I'm busy compiling a list of classic mistakes from each class. I don't have time for your opening ceremony. Anyway, once I'm on stage, you just need to leave on your own..."

Bai Ying was working diligently, while Hachiman Hikigaya was also recording data and filtering out classic wrong questions with long sighs. Although he didn't know what the department head wanted to do, this kind of thing that was like a nightmare for students... was hilarious.

"I'll take care of the class's error log and grade statistics for you!"

Yumiko Miura gritted her teeth and sacrificed her free time.

"OK!"

The white figure tore off a piece of draft paper, stared blankly at the blank draft paper for a few seconds, then turned to look at Yukino Yukinoshita, catching a glimpse of her slightly shifted gaze, and then meeting her calm gaze that suddenly turned back. A fleeting inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.

He closed his eyes for a moment to prepare, then scribbled furiously on the draft paper. After less than half a minute, he tossed the draft paper to the two of them and continued to bury himself in preparing the cultural festival gift package.

Before Miura Yumiko could even reach out, Yukino Yukinoshita picked up the manuscript and examined it carefully. Miura Yumiko rolled her eyes, moved her chair, and peered at the manuscript, muttering, "Your gaze makes me unable to resist tenderness, I whisper softly, I start paying attention to trivial etiquette, and little by little I fall in love with you... Snowflakes beneath the rocks, deep and unknown. The rock suddenly opens, unwilling to miss the spring."

“This one won’t do; it’s too subtle. But the first few lines are still usable.”

Yukino Yukinoshita picked up her pen, crossed out the poem she had memorized, and rearranged the order of the words: "Alright, you can continue practicing. You still have the work of the executive committee chairperson later. Now that you've been elected, you have to do everything well..."

Miura Yumiko asked somewhat anxiously, "Will everything be alright? What if Hayato...?"

"Hayama-kun will definitely come up, don't worry," Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly. "Although it's just a facade, he won't embarrass you. I guess that counts as a kind of kindness?"

Yui Yuigahama watched the two of them silently.

Why is this happening? Whether it's Yuki or Yumiko, I was the one who did it first… Ugh! I must have been corrupted by Shiro's spirit!

Don't let your mind wander; focus on preparing for the cultural festival!

……

……

"Ah sneeze——!"

Hayato Hayama sneezed, somewhat inexplicably, feeling a chill run down his spine as if a sharp weapon was pointed at him.

boom!

"It popped again! How did that balloon get twisted up like that?"

"You blew the balloon up too full."

Hayato Hayama walked over with a smile and helped tinker with the balloons used for the cultural festival decorations.

"Hayato, Yumiko became the executive chairperson this time. Is she planning to join the student council next year?"

"I'm not quite sure about that..."

Yumiko is the type who, once she has a comfort zone, rarely cares about what's happening outside of it. But at the beginning of this semester, she was an executive committee member at the sports festival and then successfully became the executive committee chairperson at the cultural festival. She's always actively participating in other things.

Could it be because of my rejection during summer vacation? But after being rejected, why did I suddenly switch to a "I want to serve everyone" attitude? Hmm? Could it be that I'm trying to imitate Yukinoshita? That was several years ago...

I don't understand.

Hayato Hayama put aside his strange doubts and focused on helping with the balloons.

"Ebina, what brings you to become an executive committee member?"

"Of course, we're rehearsing a BL drama! We're now inviting a special guest! Hayato-kun is so handsome, it would be great if he could help out!"

"This..."
