Uneasy daily life

I've become a salted fish with a strange glint in my eyes.

Chapter 127 Your Drink

"Ta-da! Surprise Adventure Mixed Drink!"

The girls from Class E stood to the side. Several beverage machines on the display stand were not transparent, so it was impossible to see what was inside, and it was also unclear what would come out of the several beverage nozzles under each machine.

She introduced the drinks in a lively tone: "We have all kinds of drinks here. If you spend 300 yen, you can get a single-flavor drink. If you pay 200 yen, you can randomly choose a three-flavor mixed set! Of course, we welcome adventurous guests to take on the challenge. For just 100 yen, you can get an ultimate mixed drink with ten flavors!"

A question mark slowly appeared above Angelina's head, suspecting the other person was a member of the Crimson Troupe's branch: "Is there ink or something in here?!"

“We don’t have ink,” the girl from Class E chuckled. “But we have octopus ink.”

Angelina stared wide-eyed, unable to suppress her suspicion, and said, "Aren't you Bai Yinghua, the one who lied to me?!"

"In my opinion, you could just put labels like juice, watermelon juice, coffee, ink, etc. on each button," Bai Ying suggested. "This would not only make it easier for customers to choose their drinks and for you to operate the machine, but it would also create another layer of suspicion for the customers."

Angelina: "?"

"Oh, as expected of Bai." The girl nodded repeatedly, noting the suggestion down. "Does Bai have any other suggestions?"

"Hmm... guests traveling together, choosing drinks for each other?" Bai Ying said enthusiastically, "Although the essence remains the same, it adds another element of mutual competition..."

Angelina: "!"

"That's a great suggestion."

The girl asked with a smile, "So, would you two like some super mixed drinks?"

"A 100 yen drink."

The white-clad figure handed over a coin between her fingers, pointing at the vending machine with her other hand: "I want that one, that one, and that flavor..."

"Wait!" Angelina snapped out of her daze, immediately crossed her arms, and protested loudly, "I don't want to drink such weird stuff!"

"What?" Bai Ying slowly frowned and said, "On this festive occasion of the cultural festival, everyone should be having fun in a relaxed and enjoyable way, without taking things too seriously. 9527! Only by having a relaxed and enjoyable attitude can you have a relaxed and enjoyable mood! You don't want everyone to know your weight, do you?"

"What does the front and the back have to do with each other?"

Angelina gritted her teeth in anger, then pulled out a 100-yen coin from her pocket and turned to say, "A 100-yen drink! I want that...that...that...and that..."

So what if we both perish and plant mines on each other? Who's afraid of who!

"Please wait."

The girl smiled and quickly took the two drinks, then pushed them out.

Angelina looked at the murky, muddy-colored drink in her hand, with a layer of white foam on the surface... thankfully, it wasn't for her to drink.

She looked at the white figure.

The drink in Bai Ying's hand was more like murky rag water than muddy mud water, grayish and bubbly... even worse than her own!

Whether the mixed drinks taste good or not is another matter, but their appearance is absolutely aggressive!

"9527, time for your medicine!"

With a gentle smile and a doting, affectionate tone, Bai Ying walked over naturally, inserted a straw into the cup, and handed over the drink.

"?"

Angelina instinctively looked left and right and found that there was a wall behind her. As for the left and right sides, the white figure was moving left and right, blocking her way while getting closer.

"Sir, you drink too!" Angelina inserted a straw, handed over her drink, and grinned angrily. "We all drink together, and nobody's allowed to run away!"

Bai Ying glanced at the cup of muddy water with considerable caution.

"Hmph, an interesting challenge..."

The two stared at each other as they handed each other drinks, each biting the straw that was offered to them.

The air was silent for about five seconds.

The two were doing eye exercises, their straws still, exchanging glances—Why aren't you moving? How can I move if you don't move? What if I move and you don't move? I'll definitely move, but will you? Of course I'll move!

Mutual deterrence leads to mutual suspicion.

Angelina stared intently at the white figure and the straw in his mouth, widening her eyes and mumbling, "Sir, hurry up and suck!"

Bai Ying frowned: "9527, why aren't you taking it yet?"

“I’ll count to three, and we’ll all inhale together!” Angelina suggested.

"Fine! If you don't take it, I'll turn your long-term weight records into tables, graphs, biology problems, physics problems, reading comprehension questions, and analytical questions..."

The white figure nodded, then proposed a deterrent.

Wow! You're definitely more anthropomorphic!

Angelina gasped... Huh? What was that sudden burst of flavor in her mouth? Mixed with a slightly sweet, cool taste and a hint of other flavors, a sharp, sour taste suddenly took over.

Angelina's features instantly contorted, like a folded piece of skin being rubbed together by her taste buds. She shuddered several times as if electrocuted, staring at the white figure with a face full of grief and indignation—what the hell? Why would vinegar be added to a drink? Oh no! The commander has unfortunately choked to death while eating breakfast, enemy fire has already covered him, and our army is still searching for the commander!

Chill!

"Mmm...it tastes absolutely wonderful."

Bai Ying released the straw, smacked his lips, and savored the taste carefully. He described it as, "If I had to describe it, it would be a colorful sweetness—the light sweetness of apples, the sweet and sour taste of oranges, the refreshing sweetness of watermelons, the bittersweet taste of grapefruits… It extracts the essence of various fruits and blends them into one cup. Every sip is like multiple fruits exploding on your tongue. Perhaps because it's impossible to achieve a perfect blend, sometimes a sip has more apple flavor, and sometimes a sip has more orange flavor. It's very interesting."

"I would call this drink 'Summer Sky'! Unpredictable, sometimes bright and clear, sometimes thunderous, just like the youthful heart of a young girl!"

real or fake?

Is it like a deluxe fruit ice cream dessert?

Angelina stared at her drink; it really didn't look appealing.

"What are you doing?"

Feng Bin and Hua walked over, looking slightly annoyed.

"Stickman? You're too late."

Bai Ying frowned slightly.

"?" Feng Bin and Hua were taken aback, and asked inexplicably, "Do we have a date?"

"We have always had a tacit understanding, and our friendship is invaluable. Why bother with words and agreements, or doing something superfluous?" Bai Ying handed over a drink, saying with dissatisfaction, "Here, you can punish yourself with a drink."

"?"

Feng Bin and Hua were a beat slow to accept the drinks, their sudden little emotions completely overwhelmed by the inexplicable development.

She subconsciously bit the straw and took a sip, her face contorting in an instant as she understood.

The jerk was groping and pulling at other girls, feeding each other drinks in broad daylight (×).

Poisoning each other (√).

"White Shadow!" Angelina suddenly exclaimed, "Why is it so disgustingly sweet?!"

"Just tell me, is it sweet or not?"

Bai Ying waved her hand confidently.

"I'll never believe you again!"

Angelina, holding her drink and putting on her mask of pain, suddenly noticed that Toyohama and Hana were watching her.

"Uh... Toyohama-kun, you're here for the cultural festival?"

"There's a performance? I think you're going to be in it too?"

"Don't bring up such sad things."

Angelina blinked, took out a tissue and wiped the straw opening: "Toyohama-kun, would you like some?"

"No thanks! I don't want to drink this weird stuff..."

Feng Bin and Hua raised their hands to decline, holding a drink in their hands.

Angelina: "Uh..."

Feng Bin and Hua looked at the drink in their hands, veins bulging on their foreheads. They turned their heads—

Someone is chatting and laughing with his mother.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll have no problem giving pointers on Stick Figure's acting... Stick Figure is just a nickname, don't you think she'd ignite if you rub her?"

"How is Kaori doing on set?"

"She's doing great. The name 'The Lover of a Salaryman' is well-deserved. Her acting skills aren't great, but her natural performance is good enough. It's not necessarily a bad way to act. There's no danger of her character collapsing, after all, her temper is already completely broken."

Feng Bin and Hua moved stiffly over and kicked their calves!

The white figure moved to the side perfectly, flashing by.

Feng Bin's mother glared at him: "Hehua!"

"Oh, Auntie, don't be angry."

Bai Ying continued in an elder's tone, commenting, "Look at her temper, resorting to violence at the slightest provocation. At first glance, it seems rude and vulgar, but from another perspective, it's just straightforwardness and honesty, with a kind of pure beauty..."

"As long as the storyline is well-developed, it can easily attract a large audience from a performance perspective. After all, there is a lot of pressure in society now, and for office workers who are always holding back, seeing others' straightforward performances from an outsider's perspective can be quite enjoyable and refreshing."

I'm happy for you!

Feng Bin and Hua were practically ready to self-destruct and take this guy with them. What the hell are you spouting in front of my mom?!

"Here's your drink back, take it with you!"

"No, this is your drink."

"It's a hammer, hurry up!"

"If it's a mineral water bottle, I can just slurp it down and take a sip if it doesn't taste right, but asking me to drink it through a straw in a vacuum is a bit of an overestimation of human lung capacity, isn't it? You'll have to find Platinum Star for that."

"climb!"

Feng Bin and Hua took the drinks back in an annoyed manner, staring at them with a conflicted expression.

Angelina shook her head inwardly at the sight. What was there to care about indirect kissing? Just wipe the straw with a tissue!

This kid...

Feng Bin's mother observed her daughter's behavior thoughtfully, unable to tell whether she was behaving normally or if she was indeed thinking something different.

If you really have the idea of ​​dating, your career will inevitably be affected to some extent, unless you change your path now or use other methods... I don't quite understand the operation and logic of the entertainment industry. I'll ask Sakurajima later. She is a senior manager and should have more experience in this area.

Feng Bin's mother suppressed her thoughts for a while, but soon she couldn't hold back anymore.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the cultural festival, a mother and daughter walked towards us.

The mothers of Toyohama and Sakurajima met eyes and were both taken aback.

Hmm? Will the scumbag commander run into both sets of parents?

As an outsider who knew most of the situation, Angelina couldn't help but take a sip of her drink.

Wow! It's weirdly sweet!

Chapter 128 How to Steal a Man?

Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows.

Anticipating that her hater would be busy with strange things and doing things that weren't part of the usual routine at the cultural festival, she didn't intend to get involved. She planned to stroll around the festival with her mother to relax. Since keeping her distance from her mother at work and in life, they actually had a lot more topics to talk about.

What happens when you bump into a hater while you're out shopping?

And she brought Hehua and her mother with her?

"Sister! Aunt Sakurajima is here too."

Feng Bin and Hua waved happily and quickened their pace, but for some reason they felt uneasy and wanted to get closer to their older sister.

A gust of wind suddenly swept past them, then cut in front of them horizontally, blocking their way.

The white figure raised a hand and greeted, "Yo, Warrior Plus!"

"#!" Feng Bin and Hua's eyebrows twitched, and they decisively walked around to the side, blocking Bai Ying's way by turning their backs on him. "Sister..."

The white figure once again made a tactical advance.

Feng Bin and Hua stubbornly circled around to the front again.
