Uneasy daily life

Toyohama Kazuka couldn't help but let her mind wander for a moment, then she shook off those thoughts. Her deep eyes, which were remarkably similar to Sakurajima Mai's, glanced at the white figure with a hint of expectation, then turned away to express her disdain—in short, it was the bastard who promised it, the bastard who allowed it, and the bastard who took the initiative!

I... I just didn't... forget to resist.

"Hey, shouldn't you be looking me in the eye at a time like this? It's very important, isn't it?"

Bai Ying made a request.

"Aren't you annoying?" Feng Binhua turned her sideways gaze back, a look of disdain and sarcasm on her face, but her deep eyes couldn't help but sparkle. "Anyway, when you confessed to my sister, didn't you just say one thing and she responded? Besides, you've confessed to all sorts of other things before..."

"So you're not going to talk about it?"

"no!"

Feng Bin and Hua raised an eyebrow: "We've come this far! If you don't talk, I'll kick you!"

“Hmm… let’s start with Toyohama Kazuka,” Bai Ying said gently. “Toyohama Kazuka doesn’t just follow her emotions; she likes to follow them. Some people are more likely to open up in front of strangers, while others are more likely to express their feelings in front of close friends. She’s the latter… a frank yet clumsy little animal who doesn’t know how to express herself. She’ll just move around energetically, nibbling on her shoes, tugging at a corner, and secretly kicking her heels. The more you respond to her actions, the closer she feels, and she’ll do all sorts of bold things, but she’ll still be chattering away. If you yell at her, she’ll probably get upset, scream, and then run away in a sorry state…”

"Who are you calling noisy and biting? Shall they introduce themselves?"

Feng Bin and Hua lightly kicked Bai Ying's shin: "If you dare yell at me, I'll kick you."

"Aren't you afraid that the hero plus will yell at you?" Bai Ying laughed. "You little animal that acts on its emotions is afraid of getting a response that is the opposite of its emotions. I know that you are not just a boy in a story, pure and passionate, without any consideration... You just subconsciously feel that once you start to consider things, you will no longer be able to happily quarrel."

"I don't understand those things."

Feng Bin and Hua hummed twice.

Despite working hard to meet her mother's expectations, her mother only saw her older sister's success and felt that her own incompetence was a stark contrast...

Mingming had been really looking forward to seeing her older sister, but after traveling all the way to the base, she was met with a cold shoulder by her sister upon their first meeting...

Even though I don't know what liking someone is, my body and heart have already chosen this jerk...

I guess I really am just a fool who only knows how to act. When my actions don't get a response, I feel wronged and want to have a big fight.

“You promised…” Toyohama Kazuka emphasized with bright eyes, “You have to be my moon, always watching over me—it’s okay to look at others occasionally, but you must look at me!”

Keep watching me, no matter what I become, no matter if I offer you flowers, do something, sing hymns, or chase after you, keep watching me, watching those actions that I myself don't understand, but that I do unconsciously.

Because only you can understand those actions and feelings that I myself don't understand, and you won't respond with things like "elders have grudges, and juniors should obey," "if the mother is not satisfied, it means the child is not working hard enough," or "it's inconsiderate and stupid."

What kind of atmosphere, what kind of interpersonal relationships, what kind of common sense? Who doesn't understand these things? If they don't understand them, can't they learn them or understand them?

I am both an idol and a top student in my grade; I'm very smart.

If I were smart, I wouldn't like you.

Who made me stupid?

Feng Bin and Hua muttered to themselves, raising their heads slightly with a smug expression, and looking at Bai Ying with a slight frown. What are you still planning?

"The snow is so beautiful," Bai Ying exclaimed.

"?"

Toyohama Kazuka pouted and said, "That's it? The quality of this borrowed material is barely passable, but since you mentioned it, I'll give it to you..."

"Stop, stop, stop, don't rush," Bai Ying said. "I was just admiring the scenery for a moment; we're not at the main event yet..."

Snapped!

Feng Bin and Hua raised their hands and grabbed Bai Ying by the neck.

"Nisunai!!"

"Coo coo coo—!"

The girl's forehead veins bulged as she forcefully grabbed the other person's neck and shook his head. The boy pulled her backward with both hands, spreading his wings like a roc. Before the two of them got entangled, they arrived at the door of the apartment.

boom!

The white figure leaned against the door, patted the door with both hands, closed his eyes, pursed his lips, tilted his head, and put on an expression of unbearable humiliation.

"#!"

Feng Bin and Hua gritted their teeth, but withdrew the electricity from their hands, their tone chilling: "I'll give you another chance to start over!"

"Thank you so much..."

Bai Ying gasped for breath, her eyes suddenly flashed, and her hands shot out like lightning, reaching around to the back of Feng Bin and Hua's necks.

"Take this Xuanming Divine Palm!"

*Snap!* A bone-chilling breath pressed against the back of her neck, rushing straight to her head, instantly causing Feng Bin and Hua to shiver. In their annoyance and struggle, their hands slid down Bai Ying's neck, and they said angrily, "You're just trying to annoy me, aren't you? Annoy me, aren't you?! I'll freeze you to death!"

The white figure wrapped both arms around the restless Feng Bin and Hua, asking, "Want to move again?"

"Let's move!"

Feng Bin and Hua shifted around, baring their white teeth in annoyance. The cold enchantment disappeared from the hand that had slipped into Bai Yinghou's collar, so they curled their slender fingers and scratched angrily with their fingertips. Just as they were about to switch from scratching to pinching with their index finger and thumb, they suddenly realized that the two of them were already very close and embracing. They were shifting around and they didn't know whether the other person was taking advantage of them or they were taking advantage of them.

Winter clothes are still too thin and light to block the burning heat rising in my heart, so the strength in my fingertips melts away like snow.

"We're not a couple, so you can't hug me!"

Feng Bin and Hua twisted their shoulders forcefully, tilted their heads and used their heads like battering rams, and nudged Bai Ying's cheek.

"With bright eyes and willow-leaf eyebrows, my heart is stirred; the graceful beauty is secretly annoyed, and sways her waist lightly."

“Slender fingers entwine, thin lips make noise, weary of the hustle and bustle, yet longing for joy, sorrow, happiness, and anger to be seen by someone.”

"Climb!" Feng Binhe snorted twice. Since it was inconvenient for her to lift her foot, she nimbly changed direction with her ankle and toes, lightly kicking Bai Ying's shin from the side. "I'm not like Xiao Xue, I don't need this coaxing—I'll give you another chance to be a human being!"

"Alright, alright," Bai Ying said, "Then I hereby unilaterally declare that you are my girlfriend from now on!"

"...Who asked you to make this announcement unilaterally, hmph."

Her slender, light body twisted slightly, as if trying to break free, her thin, rounded shoulders swaying gently, completely unaware that the hand that had been pressing down on her had quietly released its grip. Her palm remained on the back of her beloved's neck, her fingertips unconsciously tracing lightly back and forth across his skin, not wanting to press too hard for fear of hurting him, yet unable to resist the urge to touch, hoping he would notice her presence. A muffled murmur of emotions welled up in her throat, mostly negative words like "scumbag," "jerk," and "what can you do?" yet her tone couldn't quite sharpen. Her shifting eyes couldn't hide her joy and delight, her gaze finally settling on his neck, so close to hers…

Bai Ying raised his right hand, forming a sword finger, and pressed it against Feng Bin and Hua's foreheads, like a Taoist priest exorcising demons: "Hey! No lewd behavior allowed before graduating from university!"

"Who, who wants to seduce you!"

Feng Bin and Hua's eyes widened: "Pah! You perverted bastard!"

Ga.

"I agree with that."

The door opened, revealing Yukino Yukinoshita's indifferent expression.

"Why are you here?!"

Feng Bin and Hua jumped up and quickly distanced themselves from the white figure.

"I'm going out to buy groceries for lunch." Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze was brooding. "But what are you all doing in a public place? And Shiro-kun, what's with that outfit? Have you finally awakened some wicked fetishes? Ready?"

The white figure blinked, stepped forward, and said affectionately, "The snow is so beautiful."

"?"

Before Yukino Yukinoshita could react, Toyohama Kazuhana's face instantly turned bright red, and she kicked the white figure in the butt from behind.

"Shut up, you bastard!!"

The girl's voice, which sounded like a mix of anger and wailing, echoed from below the apartment.

……

……

At Yukinoshita's house.

Because her grocery shopping plans were interrupted, Bai Ying brought some stored food from her refrigerator at home.

"To put it simply, if it weren't for the stick figure's sudden attack, I would have already avenged myself!"

Bai Ying said with a pained expression, "I've already planned everything! When the hero comes downstairs to buy groceries and sees me standing at the door in clothes that hint at harassment, whether she comes out happily to tease me or cautiously observes from a distance, I have a way to lure her over with a few words. Then I'll bring up yesterday's weather, and when the hero uses it as an excuse to tease me, I'll say 'The snow is so beautiful' to shut her up, then give her a deep, affectionate gaze to make her dizzy, and finally say 'I meant the scenery...' to complete my revenge..."

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at her and said, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"You're the idiot!" Feng Binhua shouted, clenching his fist.

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Toyohama Kazuka, smiled faintly, and said everything she had to say.

"#!"

Feng Bin and Hua Moya stared at the white figure.

“Of course I’m not stupid,” the white figure waved his hand. “Does the hero think he won’t rashly approach? If I were to look up to the sky and chant ‘Yukino is so cute,’ how would the hero respond?”

"Then the only solution is to call the police to deal with the guy who's disturbing the peace and sexually harassing people in public."

Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, "It's your turn for lunch."

"No problem, you guys have a good fight, I'll pretend I didn't hear anything..." The white figure strolled into the kitchen, then peeked out again, "Maybe I can even pick up some of the dropped ingredients..."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Toyohama Kazuka and asked, "What do you think of stewed white fungus?"

Feng Bin and Hua gritted their teeth and said, "It's too much trouble to deal with, let's just boil the bastards!"

The white figure disappeared.

The two looked at each other, both feeling a little strange and subtle, but Yukino Yukinoshita felt a little more so.

"Don't look at me, go look at your sister."

Feng Bin and Hua sat down on the sofa, becoming quite self-righteous.

“No, since you said you’d accept it for now, I won’t dwell on this issue, even though it’s a bit of an eyesore for you two in a public place…” Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head and sat down on the other side of the sofa. “I just feel like you… are actually quite accepting?”

"Uh, I don't quite understand." Feng Bin and Hua scratched their heads. "After all, it was my older sister who went first... I wouldn't refuse my older sister, and then I felt like you guys could do it too... I can't really explain it. Anyway, I don't think about strange things like you do."

Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, "I don't actually enjoy doing weird things as much as you do."

Feng Bin and Hua rolled their eyes: "It's not weird at all."

"Have you thought about the future?" Yukino Yukinoshita said softly, "Two is fine, three is fine... If you think you don't care about your bottom line in this regard, then Shiro-kun won't push his luck. One after another, will you still be able to maintain your current feelings then? I can't even say what I should do if that situation happens..."

"My parents remarried, and my sister only has my mother."

"..."

“Marrying once is fine, twice is fine, even more times is fine. The examples you gave are meaningless.” Feng Bin and Hua bent their legs and hugged their knees, and asked doubtfully, “Isn’t it only love that matters? Besides—that jerk said he’d be my moon, so he has to always look at me and always let me see him. It’s the same for you, right? I’m very noisy. If you don’t face me properly, I’ll get angry and sad. I’m the kind of person who’s really troublesome.”

Feng Bin and Hua snorted: "He wouldn't want me to be sad."

"I reserve my opinion on your thoughts and attitude."

Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a soft sigh of relief. Was it because of her sister's presence that she unconsciously became more cautious and changed? It didn't seem like it. It was Haku-kun who had made her strange after all.

Let's wait a bit and see what the answer is.

She suddenly noticed the bag in Feng Bin and Hua's hands and couldn't help but ask, "What's this?"

"Oh, these are movie DVDs." Toyohama and Hana shook the bag. "Recently, a director sent me an audition invitation. Apparently, he's a big-name director from abroad. Aunt Sakurajima hasn't agreed to film it yet, but the company has, and she's negotiating with them. So I asked Aunt Sakurajima to get me some DVDs, so I can check out that director's work..."

"Foreign director?"

"It's from China, and it has a rather strange name, Nian."

“Oh…” Yukino Yukinoshita said, “Let’s watch it together after lunch, and let Haku-kun watch it too. After all, it’s a movie from his hometown, and he might be able to give you some advice.”

"also."

Feng Bin and Hua nodded in agreement.

"Fish soup is here!"

"Snow Lazybones, Flower Lazybones, dinner's ready!"

Toyohama Kazuka: "Go away! You're the lazybones!"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Hmm, I'll use my girlfriend's privileges later to get Bai Jun to write a film review of no less than a thousand words after watching it.

It must be a compliment.

Chapter 148 The World of White Shadows

"This is a film by a famous director from Bai Jun's hometown. It has a very unique name: 'Year.' Have you heard of it, Bai Jun?"

The brave man asked casually, though he wasn't quite sure about her specific plans. His bright eyes held a hint of teasing and revenge, a little anger at the current situation, a bit of resentment about the past, and a hint of eagerness to take the initiative.
