Uneasy daily life

Earth, Japan, Chiba Prefecture, a living room in an apartment belonging to the Yukinoshita Construction Company.

A strange atmosphere, filled with countless question marks, lingered in the air.

Feng Bin and Hua sat on the sofa, their hands supporting their knees, staring with their round, deep eyes at the floor that seemed to reveal the flowers inside, their minds racing with thoughts.

Yes, I am short?

What should I say in a situation like this?

It wasn't taught there! None of the search results mentioned it!

While I generally understand why men care about shortness of breasts, what if the other person doesn't?

Wouldn't that make it seem like I'm spouting some weird and outrageous theories?!

Ah... I want to die, I really want to die.

Feng Bin and Hua stood frozen in place, their faces showing a look of wanting to punch Rui through the floor and jump off the building to escape. They were like a low-budget version of Guan Yu, who had run out of tricks after failing to kill anyone with three strikes. They didn't even have a chance to fight a second-rate general to a standstill, highlighting that they only had one bullet left in their gun.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

The white figure finally spoke, shaking his head with a face full of grief, "Stickman, it's all over."

"You..." Toyohama Kazuka managed a weak voice, "W-what's over?"

"You've become an idol who knows too much. How can you even appear on interview shows now?"

Bai Ying vividly described the scene: "One day, you and your team were on an interview program..."

……

……

Lights, interview table, host, Sweet Bullet Gang.

"They have been appearing on television frequently recently, and their new songs and dances have become huge hits. They are known as the best idol group for young people and are extremely popular."

The host complimented, "As an idol group that has been building up its strength over time, what are your thoughts on the future?"

"We will strive to do better and bring more excellent works to our fans," said Kazuka Toyohama energetically.

"It's said that Ms. Kazuka, who is the team leader and has a working-class boyfriend, idolizes the talented actress Mai Sakurajima?"

"Yes! My idol is Ms. Sakurajima. My experience working with her on set was unforgettable. Her dedication, professional skills, and perspectives on many things are all things I should learn from..."

Kazuka Toyohama went on and on: "Among Sakurajima's works, my favorite is..."

"Ah—a fan's idol also has another idol, what a fascinating relationship!" The host quickly interrupted Toyohama Kazuka's preaching session, throwing out a classic topic that's sure to generate discussion, "Speaking of liking someone, Ms. Toyohama, what kind of guy do you like? What kind of guy is your ideal type?"

Feng Bin and Hua blurted it out.

"Too short, buddy!"

……

……

"Inflammation! Explosion! Gossip! Rumors! The sweet bullet that was rising suddenly plunged into the abyss!"

The white figure said with great distress, "Stickman, when did you become such a lewd child?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" After the other person's vivid and dramatic monologue, Feng Bin and Hua calmed down and retorted, "If I were on an interview show and the host asked me who I liked, who else could I say besides you?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Feng Bin and Hua Xian felt a little guilty... Hmm, maybe they need to work on their business-like social skills? No, what business-like social skills do I need when I'm talking to that jerk? But saying it like that feels a little strange, making it sound like I like that jerk so much!

"Besides! Love is none of other people's business. When I go on a normal interview program, there is a script beforehand, and the host will not ask any strange questions without thinking. Just like most fans and viewers, they have no idea about my relationship with my sister."

As Feng Binhua explained, she gradually became more and more confident: "My sister wouldn't care about this kind of thing. The rumors about her and you have never stopped. Everyone is almost assuming that you two are a couple. My persona has always been that of a fan of Sakurajima-san. Isn't it normal to like the person that Sakurajima-san likes?"

That's right! That's it!

Feng Bin and Hua stood tall and proud, wrinkling their noses triumphantly at Bai Ying.

I see you have the looks of someone with yellow hair.

“Indeed, I have to take time every day to fight with some haters on the forum, many of whom are fans of Brave Plus.” Bai Ying stroked his chin and nodded. “I feel like one more person won’t make a difference. It will just make the storm of noise even more intense and add a few more souls to my keyboard.”

Feng Bin and Hua smirked and complained, "You're always stirring up trouble, and the authorities haven't even banned your account yet."

"Tsk tsk, you don't understand. I'm an unparalleled keyboard warrior who effectively drives software activity, user registrations, and user stickiness." Bai Ying revealed a disdainful expression. "In the end, it's not a matter of principle, so of course we can increase our efforts and stir things up as much as we want. The uproar in the entertainment industry only feels like a storm when you're in the thick of it. If you take a step to the side, you'll find that the dark clouds are actually quite small... In short, you don't understand traffic."

Feng Bin and Hua rolled their eyes: "Who has as much free time as you, chatting nonsense with people on the internet all day long?"

"That's called the joy of life, something you, a little idol, would never understand."

The white-clad figure waved his hand casually: "It's late at night, and you're alone with someone. I won't keep you here to have a child. You may leave; I have matters of state to attend to."

"climb!"

Who wants to have your baby?! Dream on! Pshaw!

Feng Bin and Hua snorted coldly, got up and were about to leave when they suddenly realized something was wrong. They turned around and stared at the white figure.

A ghost, a ghost beneath a light snowfall, is whispering in my mind.

Are you really content with this? You have a pleasant conversation, do fun things together, and experience the ups and downs of anger and joy. This relationship continues under Bai Jun's guidance, and you feel satisfied and happy. But Bai Jun is always so calm and easygoing, never sharing your feelings… Do you think that's enough?

Good heavens! The vengeful spirits linger even under the light snow! It's all her fault for saying those strange things, making me get caught up in some weird thoughts myself, and turning me into a weird person!

Kazuka Toyohama couldn't help but scratch her head, staring at the white figure meditating in front of the screen.

When Koyuki said that, I did feel a little uneasy. Although I couldn't fully understand her thoughts, how should I put it... it was like she was playing with a child. She was very calm and composed, making it seem like I had no charm at all!

gas!

"Huh? Why are you looking at me?"

Bai Ying noticed the gaze, glanced up, then stared back at the screen, saying disdainfully, "Your breasts are small, you're not allowed to look."

Forward! Backward! Echo! Respond!

"#!"

This is so annoying! I don't want to think about it anymore! I'm going to explode with that bastard!

Feng Bin and Hua decisively abandoned their thoughts and rushed to Bai Ying's side in three quick steps.

"What are you doing?"

The white figure observed with suspicion; why did this stick figure seem so determined to compete?

Feng Bin and Hua did not answer, but suddenly raised their hands and pushed Bai Ying's shoulder—but they couldn't move.

A few silent seconds passed.

Bai Ying leaned back silently on the sofa, gazing tenderly at Feng Bin and Hua.

"...%@＃@!"

Feng Bin and Hua froze for a few seconds, feeling a deep sense of shame. She took a deep breath, raised and pushed with both hands, pressing down on the sofa backs on both sides of Bai Ying. She then raised her leg to sit on Bai Ying's lap, but her foot was blocked by the sofa—the sofa was not wide enough to allow them to sit face-to-face, unless they were upside down with their legs on top of the sofa.

A few silent seconds passed.

"puff……"

Death stare!

"Ahem." Even Bai Ying couldn't hold back anymore and kindly reminded her, "You're still wearing shoes. If you leave shoe prints on the sofa, I'll have to clean it up..."

"Shut up!"

Feng Bin and Hua Xiu gave a low, angry shout, then decisively turned around, sitting back against Bai Ying's lap, facing the living room television.

She twisted her shoulders and head, adopting a very awkward posture to meet Bai Ying's gaze.

A few silent seconds passed.

"Uh……"

Bai Ying gestured seriously for a moment: "From a physics perspective, if I lean back on the sofa and you sit on my lap with your back to me, you can lean back against me and rest the back of your head on my shoulder. That way, I can look down at you and you can look up at me, and we can make eye contact and chat and flirt..."

"I told you to shut up!"

Feng Bin and Hua felt as if they were already dead, as if they had been blown apart, as if everything had been blown apart, and they wished they could be reduced to ashes, as if they had never existed in this world.

Why is the human body so complicated? Why does physics even exist?

Bai Ying silently raised her hand and tugged at her lips.

If facing directly towards you doesn't work, and turning your back to you doesn't work, then sit sideways!

Through exhaustive search, Feng Bin and Hua successfully found the only correct answer. She lifted her legs and placed them on the sofa, then sat sideways on Bai Ying's lap, her deep eyes staring straight at Bai Ying, her hands resting on her thighs like a well-behaved student.

A few silent seconds passed.

Bai Ying retorted precisely, "You haven't forgotten what you were going to say, have you?"

puff!

"I'm sick!"

Feng Bin and Hua were filled with shame and anger. They wrapped their slender arms around Bai Ying's neck and pulled themselves closer to him with a little force. Their chests were pressed together through their clothes. She looked away and forced a weak voice: "You... why aren't you hard yet?"

"?"

Bai Ying was shocked: "Stickman, what strange thing did you see? Wake up! You're an idol, not a perverted idol..."

"Hmph..." Feng Bin and Hua felt their breathing become stiff. "You, is it too short? It's already... it's erect, but I can't feel it?"

Holy crap! He's started rambling nonsense!

Bai Ying took a deep breath, her eyes flashing: "Do you want to have eight kids? Are you giving up being an idol?"

"climb!"

Feng Bin and Hua raised their heads slightly, meeting the gaze of the white figure who was so close to them.

She instinctively moved closer, forgetting even to breathe.

Be shy, be embarrassed, show me that you're infatuated with me, this way... this way I can run home and hide!

Isn't it said that men are pathetic creatures, turning into idiots when they get even slightly intimate with girls? Why do I feel like I'm the one turning into an idiot?!

Ahhhhh!

Feng Bin and Hua shifted uncomfortably, using both hands to press Bai Ying's head down further, and then looked up, trying to widen their eyes—"Behave yourself! Even though I don't know what you're supposed to do, at least behave yourself!"

Is he trying to be affectionate and get closer? This stick figure is really impulsive at his age.

Bai Ying raised an eyebrow, then suddenly turned her head to reveal her profile, her eyes giving a frantic hint.

asshole!

Feng Binhe pursed his lips, then looked up and stared at the white figure.

Holy crap! The white figure broke free with the speed of someone twisting their neck, successfully dodging Feng Bin and Hua's iron headbutt, and even felt a gust of air brush against their cheek.

You want to assassinate the king?!

A look of condemnation.

Feng Bin and Hua guiltily looked away, then turned back aggressively, pulling Bai Ying's neck with their hands and dragging her back again.

This time there was no mistake. She straightened her back, and with a light and simple touch, she touched her cheek with her lips. Although there was almost no sensation when they touched, it made Feng Bin and Hua distance themselves again. Her face flushed and felt hot, and for some reason her head was still dizzy. Her body felt weak, as if she was about to melt into a puddle on the other person.

"You..." the white-clad figure asked strangely, "Are you practicing breath-holding exercises?"

"what?"

A syllable escaped her lips, and Feng Bin and Hua belatedly gasped for breath. The dizziness and tension quickly disappeared. Realizing what had happened, her face flushed even more. She bent down and bumped her head against Bai Ying's chest, exclaiming in embarrassment and indignation, "Don't laugh! If you dare to laugh, you'll be punished!"

Ugh! It's all Xiaoxue's fault! Otherwise, why would I have done so many stupid things?!

In the midst of the chaos, Feng Bin and Hua Linglu suddenly felt something hard pressing against their ribs.

Hard as a rock?

硬？

rib cage?

Uh-huh?

Just as Bai Ying was about to reach out and try to hug Feng Binhehua's waist, Feng Binhehua suddenly raised her head, giving her no chance to react at all!

boom!

As their chins collided with the top of their heads, both of them gasped in pain.
