Uneasy daily life

"Superpowers causing earthquakes..." Toyohama Kazuka wondered, "Could it be puberty syndrome?"

“It shouldn’t be. She transferred schools and moved because of an earthquake before. Besides, puberty syndrome is more unusual and interesting. How could it be a simple earthquake?” Bai Ying guessed. “Tai Chang Bu Shuo might be that her superpowers gradually became stronger, and she lost control of her sleep, causing an earthquake. After realizing that she caused the earthquake, she experienced psychological pressure, and the stress caused her to trigger another earthquake, creating an endless cycle. Relying on the method of training until she was exhausted is ultimately just treating the symptoms, not the root cause.”

Feng Bin and Hua put up question marks and muttered under their breath, "I don't understand you superpowered people, you seem so troublesome."

"Hate fan, is there another possibility?" Mai Sakurajima pondered, then suggested a new idea: "Angelina suddenly realized she actually liked you, and then she ran away?"

Bai Ying asked in surprise, "How could a normal girl like someone else's boyfriend?"

"Who do you think you are, someone else's boyfriend?" Feng Bin and Hua retorted with bared teeth. "Scumbag! Pervert! Freak!"

"Oh," Bai Ying nodded. "How could a decent girl like a jerk?"

"Oh?" Mai Sakurajima smiled slightly. "What is the hater trying to say?"

“I said that Tai Chang Bu Nian liked me to fish for information, not to fish for you.” Bai Ying tried to reason. “If Tai Chang Bu Nian found out that she liked me—it’s normal that she doesn’t dare to meet me—it would be strange if she ran away to go on a trip, right? I definitely need some more information.”

Bai Ying took out her phone and started fiddling with it. Sakurajima Mai, who was hanging behind Toyohama Kazuka, moved to her side and peeked out.

[Sorry, I'm a good person: Too long to read! Let's go home! The dark history of our hometown is about to be revealed!]

Can't read back.

"Alright, alright, watch this!"

[Sorry, I'm a good guy: I need to hack into your room to gather intelligence!]

Can't read back.

[I'm sorry, I'm a good person: I'm going to write your name into a light novel, along with a tragic ending!]

Can't read back.

[Sorry, I'm a good person: Have you ever heard of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? It's made by simmering a rich broth of old hen, pork bones, and pig's trotters, then adding various delicacies from the mountains and sea. Simmered slowly over a low flame, the resulting dish is incredibly flavorful and aromatic, a blend of tastes that perfectly captures the essence of mountain delicacies, the freshness of seafood, and the wonders of spring and autumn. It's an inexhaustible and delightful experience. A poem describes it: "Pearls roll like jade in the jar, the aroma of meat seeps through the door. One can swallow endless delicacies, one's tongue savors the passing seasons."]

Still no reply after reading?!

The white figure was furious, but it was all in vain. He only regretted not being able to face Angelina directly and blow her up on the spot.

"Pfft..." Fengbin and Hua laughed mockingly, "It seems that as long as we don't reply, the bastard can't do anything."

Bai Ying glanced at her, pointed, and said, "You pervert!"

"Ugh! You!"

Fengbin and Hana stammered, feeling guilty under Bai Ying's righteous gaze, and shrank back behind Sakurajima Mai.

Damn it! Why am I feeling guilty? I don't feel anything special at all...

"What else did the hater do yesterday besides throwing fishhooks at Angelina?" Mai Sakurajima said helplessly. "Did he make dirty jokes to Kazuka again? Kazuka doesn't need to be so surprised by this kind of thing and take it so seriously—you're just overreacting, the more the hater gets excited."

"Brave Plus, is it possible that I didn't do it?"

The white-clad figure pointed out the murderer: "The stick figure was the one who took the initiative!"

"Take the initiative?" Sakurajima Mai tilted her head in confusion, looking at her younger sister. "Take the initiative for what?"

"That's not being proactive at all!" Toyohama Kazuka grabbed Sakurajima Mai's shoulder and clothes, her face flushed, and stammered, "An accident... that... how can that be called being proactive? Anyway, it's all that bastard's fault!"

Sakurajima Mai's eyes widened as she looked around, her usually composed voice becoming muffled: "You, you two... you've gotten into an accident?! Hater, isn't it too early for that kind of thing? Kazuha and... no, no, it shouldn't be that kind of thing..."

Given the way the hater acts, it's unlikely he'd do anything with a huge impact, so he's still trustworthy. But considering Kaori's tendency to get emotional, it seems more likely she'd turn the tables... Last night at the hotel, Kaori didn't sleep with me, and I initially thought she was sleeping with someone from her team...

"I...I'm leaving now..."

Feng Bin and Hua attempted to flee.

Sakurajima Mai reached out and grabbed her shoulder, her voice serious and slightly stammering, "Wahana, what did you do?"

"Uh uh uh……"

Feng Bin and Hua stammered, and under questioning, a blush of embarrassment crept onto their faces.

I must have been out of my mind to do that—no! It wasn't me, it's all that bastard's fault!

Feeling guilty, he couldn't utter a word of explanation.

Mai Sakurajima turned to look at the white figure, squinting her eyes and indicating, "Shouldn't you explain yourself?"

"Brave Plus, relax..." the white figure said in a feigned tone, "What's done is done, we should think about how to resolve it, don't be angry, don't be angry..."

They're still fanning the flames!

Rather than trying to pry the truth out of the white-faced figure, Mai Sakurajima decisively turned to look at the blushing Kazuka Toyohama, composed herself, and said in a low voice, "Kazuka, you're still so young. Don't make a rash decision and cause trouble... I believe you haven't done anything outrageous, have you?"

Feng Binhua muttered to herself, her gaze wandering, "My older sister is only a year older than me."

"So I won't do anything out of line. After all, with relationships, the more you rush things, the shorter they'll last; the calmer you are, the longer they'll last." Sakurajima Mai hesitated for a moment, but decided to be honest. "I believe you haven't done anything that could get you pregnant..."

"?!"

Feng Bin and Hua were so startled they almost jumped up. They hurriedly whispered an explanation, "I... I accidentally touched that bastard's cheek..."

"?" Sakurajima Mai asked in surprise, "That's it?"

Feng Bin and Hua were stunned: "Huh? That's it?"

"Ahem... I meant I thought Kazuka would be bolder."

Sakurajima Mai coughed lightly twice, pressing her fist to her mouth. Indeed, given Kazuha's youthful and naive nature, her mix of fear and curiosity about close contact, the fact that she had taken the initiative to touch her cheek was enough to make Kazuha feel insecure and overthink things...

Be bolder? What exactly does my sister think I did?! And what do you mean by "just this"? This... this is so embarrassing, I can't even show my face in public anymore!

Feng Bin and Hua Feng were bewildered and lost in thought when suddenly a loudspeaker blared from the middle of the set to a corner.

[Work is in progress! Work is in progress! Actors, get ready! Get ready! Get ready!]

Kazuka Toyohama's gaze passed over Mai Sakurajima in front of her and noticed the sneaky white figure behind Mai Sakurajima.

"On the contrary, I've been overthinking it. We can talk about these things later. I need to do some ideological work with you. For now, let's focus on doing our jobs well..."

Sakurajima Mai rubbed her temples and sighed. With a subtle feeling, she turned around and met the white figure's eyes, which were inches away from hers. Her eyebrows twitched, and she paused slightly, about to urge him on and roll her eyes again...

The white figure tilted its head, leaned forward, and lightly touched Sakurajima Mai's cheek with its lips. Then it took a step back, looking at Sakurajima Mai with a thoughtful and curious expression.

Mai Sakurajima stood frozen for three seconds, her eyes widening as the confusion within them amplified. When the outline of a white figure appeared in her eyes, the bewilderment rippled outwards, shimmering. She didn't know where to put her hands, took a few steps back, and bumped her back against something, barely managing to stop herself, but unable to stop her frantic running.

"you……"

"Time to go to work! Time to focus on work!"

The white figure turned and slipped away.

You hater! What's with this all of a sudden?!

Sakurajima Mai's lips moved open and closed, unable to make a sound, as if she had lost the ability to speak. She clenched her fist, raised her hand to touch the burning hot spot on her face, but then suddenly remembered something and turned her head to meet Toyohama Kazuka's eyes.

"Uh..." Feng Bin and Hua scratched their cheeks, looking at their older sister who was completely flustered and had lost her usual calm and mature demeanor. Thinking back to what had just happened, they couldn't help but ask in a strange tone, "That's it?"

Sakurajima Mai pursed her lips, stretched out her hands, and pinched Toyohama Kazuka's cheeks on both sides. Feeling the smoothness on her fingertips, she made a slightly nasal sound: "Hmm~? What did Kazuka just say? I don't think I heard it."

"Sister! We're about to start filming!"

Feng Bin and Hua mumbled vaguely.

"Phew... Calm down and prepare carefully."

Mai Sakurajima loosened her grip, patted her cheeks, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but grit her teeth.

This hater! I already told you to focus on your work on set and not do anything weird. You can talk about dating after get off work!

Also, what does "surprise attack" mean? You don't mean you think I'm jealous of Hana, do you?

Calm down, get the work done first, otherwise you'll definitely be ridiculed by the haters...

Wait till it's over and you'll see!

Mai Sakurajima suppressed the various distracting thoughts in her mind.

Filming is progressing smoothly. While Feng Bin and Hua may not be perfect, they at least adequately portray the emotional changes from a state of indifference to a state of joy and sadness, to a state of happiness and brightness, and then a sudden downturn.

"That guy was amazing! That final expression—a mix of resolute determination, gritted teeth in grief, and utter helplessness—was absolutely brilliant!"

Nian couldn't help but offer a few words of praise, and the white figure standing next to the camera grinned.

In the arena, Toyohama and Hana could no longer contain their murderous expressions.

The final scene for Bai Ying is a piece of cake; she just needs to yell a couple of times to express her emotions, and the rest will be left to the special effects team.

Mai Sakurajima displayed twelve times the determination to not falter, and managed to complete the filming even better and faster than usual.

Then they started looking for people.

But what about the people?

[Sakurajima Mai: Hater, surrendering yourself will mitigate your punishment; fleeing and hiding will increase your sentence.]

[Bai Bulang Bai Ying: A strand of hair swayed gently at the tip of her nose, releasing the fragrance of jasmine. Our breaths brushed against each other's cheeks, a tender touch met her lips, and I suppressed my impulse, like a dragonfly afraid to shatter the surface of the water. A brief pause, then a soaring flight. The sunset rippled on the water, lingering in my heart.]

[Sakurajima Mai: It's no use saying nice things now, come out here.]

[Bai Liangying: Thank you for the meal!]

[Sakurajima Mai: What do you take me for, some kind of delicious food?]

[Bai Buliang Baiying: That's right! Brave Plus is a dish with tight, calm, and rational steps. It balances dreams and favorite flavors, so the seasoning is very careful, and the baking is done meticulously according to the recipe—do you know the best part of a sausage? After slicing the sausage and putting it on a plate, leave the less-than-ideal ends on the cutting board. Throw those into your mouth; they taste better than the neatly arranged parts on the plate.]

[Sakurajima Mai: Do you, haters, find it more enjoyable to cheat?]

[Bai Bulang Bai Ying: The most enjoyable thing is sneaking around eating without telling you about my plans.]

[Sakurajima Mai: You really like going against me, huh? You hater!]

[Bai Bulang Bai Ying: Hehehe~ Don't you also like the way of cheating? Hehehe! The Brave Plus is probably thinking that he can hug and cuddle now, and then kiss and touch in two or three years, focus on his career, and then see how things go after graduating from university!]

[Sakurajima Mai: Hmm? Disappointed?]

[Bai Bulang Bai Ying: I think the best way to experience you is to catch you off guard with a sneak attack, leaving you flustered because it wasn't planned, and blushing with embarrassment because you actually got what you wanted!]

[Sakurajima Mai: Smiling.jpg]

[White-clad figure: grinning.jpg]

[Bai Buliang Baiying: Stickman is too unpredictable. I don't remember what it felt like when she kissed me yesterday. I vaguely remember the texture being dry and rough. After that, she punched and kicked me... Thankfully, I remember the taste of the Brave Plus today perfectly. It was delicious. Thank you for the treat.]

[Sakurajima Mai: You bastard! Come out here!!]

[Bai Buliang Bai Ying: Ou Jinjin.]

There was no reply from the other end for quite a while.

Could it be that the stick figure broke the Brave Plus's phone?

The white figure tilted its head, pondering.

[Sakurajima Mai: Nishina—get out here right now! Nishina!]

[White Shadow: I've boarded the train leaving Tokyo. I'm planning to go to the countryside for my next vacation.]

[Sakurajima Mai: I'll kill you when you come back!!]

[Bai Buliang Bai Ying: Kiss me.]

[Sakurajima Mai: That was an accident!!]

[Bai Buliang Bai Ying: You're the one who kissed me.]

[Sakurajima Mai: Crawl, crawl, crawl!!]

[Bai Bulang Baiying: It was you who took the initiative to attach the skin tissue from your lips to the skin tissue on my face.]

[Sakurajima Mai: Blood.jpg!]

Bai Ying chuckled, teasing Toyohama Kazuka on the other end of the phone. She could easily picture Sakurajima Mai's expression—a slightly helpless bystander, detached, trying to cover up the kiss. Toyohama Kazuka furiously pressed her phone, attempting to kick at the air through the network cable.

Humming a nonsensical tune, I turned my head to look out the tram window, where the scenery vaguely reflected my face.

Hmm... He's just as handsome as he was in his past life, no wonder he's me!

Bai Ying couldn't help but narrow her eyes, and unconsciously touched her lips, savoring the ethereal yet real emotions in her heart.

How to describe it?

This feeling is so unfamiliar, so I guess I like it even more now.

Bai Ying suddenly felt inspired and typed some more messages on her phone to reply.

[Bai Bulang Bai Ying: I was planning to poke your face with the tip of my tongue, but as soon as my lips touched your cheek, I couldn't help but pull away.]
