Uneasy daily life

Mai Sakurajima loosened her feet and sat lightly on the edge of the bed, her legs crossed and raised under her nightgown. She smiled and said, "It's okay. I believe that as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to create excellent works."

"?"

Bai Ying paused for a moment, her gaze involuntarily falling to Sakurajima Mai's legs beneath her pale yellow nightgown. Her healthy, fair legs were crossed, squeezing out plump thighs into a flat shape, her straight, slender calves extending to her upturned feet, her rounded big toes gripping the edge of her fluffy slippers, swaying gently back and forth.

"Gulu."

Loud spitting noises.

Mai Sakurajima paused for a moment, her slipper accidentally falling to the floor with a thud. She coughed slightly and teased, "What? Suddenly inspired again?"

The white figure blinked: "A little more?"

"Hmm? Hmph..." Mai Sakurajima made an ambiguous sound. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said softly, "If even what you say in your heart isn't necessarily what you can do, then being consistent in word and deed is surprisingly difficult..."

“Jealous? Doesn’t seem like it. Competitive? Doesn’t seem like it either…” Bai Ying scratched his head, then suddenly realized, “I get it! Even though you’re with me, you can’t help but think about other people, right? Brave Plus, you’re such a womanizer.”

"?"

Sakurajima Mai suppressed the urge to reward Bai Ying handsomely, and rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Yeah, I'm wondering what you and the others have done..."

"We've had some beneficial exchanges, but it's too early to take things any further."

"For example?"

"Rubbing, licking, biting, hugging...?"

"?"

Mai Sakurajima blinked, reached up to smooth her hair, and couldn't help but swing her crossed legs a little faster.

"Hate fan... there are some things a girl shouldn't say, right?"

Can I lick you?

"Be serious!"

"The bright moon spreads across the bed, and my tender heart becomes my pillow. On this beautiful night, I invite you to my dreams to ease your sorrow."

Chapter Seventy-Two Urging, Urging, Urging, Urging

I rarely say I like you, because after a brief burst of passion comes a long cooling-off period.

Heat is transferred through contact, and distance is a prerequisite for maintaining temperature.

Restraint isn't my modesty; it's evidence that I want to like you even more.

The girl believed that the boy understood her feelings better than anyone else, and without much explanation, he could move in step to match her.

Sakurajima Mai let her body lean against him weakly, gently biting the corner of his mouth, leaving a noticeable mark. When her skin felt the unfamiliar touch, she couldn't help but tense her arms slightly. Then the touch changed, pressing lightly through the clothes.

Perhaps it's because I like to think too much that I often have pessimistic interpretations.

I long to get closer, yet fear the chill that may creep in unnoticed.

If you gaze at each other from afar, the warmth won't feel captivating enough.

The girl also believed that the boy could see her inner conflict, and it was precisely at such times that he would always choose to restrain his emotions and choose the option that would least hurt him.

Sakurajima Mai's gaze flickered slightly, her pupils reflecting his white silhouette. She felt his embrace through her clothes, her movements now tinged with a cautious reassurance. After that journey through life, she understood the person she had fallen for better—perhaps it was the opposite of many people's habits: she was unrestrained and boisterous with those far away, but cautious and restrained in her touch with those within reach.

If you don't want to hurt those close to you, then you can only suppress yourself.

"Hate fan, you can be a little bolder..." Mai Sakurajima whispered, her breath brushing against him. "Don't you usually like to stir up trouble for others?"

Bai Ying flipped the pot back over: "Why can't you be bolder?"

Mai Sakurajima pursed her lips, habitually trying to maintain a calm tone: "Two people maintain a relationship just so they can grow old together someday. Sometimes I find that kind of thing boring... If harmony is just for the sake of harmony, then harmony has lost its meaning."

“Be a little childish, a little silly, a little impulsive… You can’t always let the girls take the initiative, can you?” Sakurajima Mai blinked, resting her chin on the white-clad figure’s shoulder to avoid his gaze. “I’m hard to ignite.”

Even I, myself, yearn for the feeling of burning.

Bai Ying embraced the person leaning against him, tilting his head slightly to try and catch a glimpse of Sakurajima Mai's expression.

"No peeping, there are no reference answers here." Sakurajima Mai brought her cheek closer, pressing it against the white figure's face to stop him. She whispered, "Now that you can't see me, you can bully me all you want..."

After a brief silence, Mai Sakurajima felt herself calmer, unsure whether she felt regret or relief.

Burning too intensely is never good; the more intense the burning, the thicker the ash.

Sometimes I complain that it's just my personality; I always want to keep good things going for a long time, so I lose the mindset to get absorbed in them.

Let's stop here.

"Two stars shine brightly in the distant night, year after year. They travel far to the Milky Way, their light ever-growing affection shining through the ages."

Two distant stars shine alone for countless years, but their light will cross the ages, travel to the Milky Way, and finally touch each other in a dazzling display, until the moment they burn out completely.

Bai Ying bit her crystal-clear, rosy earring, releasing control over her primal power and, incidentally, letting go of the various thoughts churning in her mind.

Putting aside other things, these supposedly modern internet keyboard warriors may not have much practical experience, but their theoretical knowledge is truly outstanding.

"I'm going to bully you."

"...You can bully me all you want."

……

cheated!

Bai Ying's eyes were forcibly pulled open by her biological clock. She stared at the ceiling, somewhat bewildered. She could see faint sunlight out of the corner of her eye, so it must be six o'clock. She had probably only slept for three hours. As a powerful Stand user, a reincarnated spiritual power expert, and a natural-born physical body holder, three hours of sleep was nothing.

With the ability to be full of energy after only four hours of sleep, I could work overtime to the point of exhaustion... Pshaw!

Even so, Bai Ying felt as if she had slept for less than an hour. Her head was buzzing and twitching, her limbs were as limp as noodles, and her chest felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on it, making it hard to breathe...

The white figure glanced down and saw Sakurajima Mai using her chest as a pillow, fast asleep. Her face was flushed with sleep, and a little liquid had even unknowingly dripped from the corner of her mouth, staining her pajamas and forming a small map that, judging from the outline, looked more like Russia.

Mai Sakurajima was still wearing her pajamas, though they looked like she wasn't wearing any at all.

The blanket covered the two of them, still carrying the lingering afterglow of their passionate love.

Bai Ying briefly recalled last night... They caressed each other's bodies, transferring their heat to create an even hotter flame, entwining themselves wantonly, as if trying to close the distance between them in one breath, whispering obsessively, trying to express their passion to the best of their ability through their actions.

It was a close call, but thankfully both of them remained somewhat clear-headed. However, their restraint prevented them from giving up until their passion was completely extinguished.

When the "Brave Warrior Plus" mode is activated, it's truly incredible.

Bai Ying blinked, savoring the memory with a touch of subtle regret. It was a pity that the Brave Plus was wearing pajamas last night; if it had been her usual black stockings, her attack power would have increased significantly.

"Well……"

With a soft moan, Mai Sakurajima struggled to open her eyes, her deep eyes filled with drowsiness and confusion. She kept her cheek pressed against Bai Ying's chest, remaining silent for several seconds before she came to her senses. Then, when she looked up and met Bai Ying's gaze, she remained silent for another ten seconds.

The white-clad figure said in a deep voice, "You're awake? You've become a lecherous ghost."

"?!" Sakurajima Mai's eyes widened, and her leg, which was resting on the white figure under the covers, shifted slightly. "Ahem—I really didn't expect that you, Black Fan, could be so energetic even when I'm asleep? I don't mind that you're a pervert..."

Bai Ying immediately retorted angrily, "Who are you trying to fool?! You told me to just bully you, but I only bullied you once, and you turned around and bullied me three times in total!"

"Ahem..." Sakurajima Mai was a little embarrassed, but she managed to hold on and decisively reached out to grab the white shadow's face. "Do you have any objections?"

The white figure subconsciously sniffed.

Sakurajima Mai: "..."

Bai Ying: "I have no objection, you have a certain charm."

Sakurajima Mai quickly pulled her hand back under the covers, tilted her head, and pressed it back against the white figure's chest. After a while, she seemed to be fully awake and said, "I really did some amazing things... It doesn't feel so bad to do this once in a while."

Bai Ying complained, "I thought I was unbeatable in theoretical knowledge, but I never expected that the knowledge of the Brave Plus is just as good as mine."

"Hmph, don't underestimate modern girls." Sakurajima Mai enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, her warm breath, and her half-tired mood. "Thinking that all girls are ignorant, pampered young ladies is just wishful thinking on the part of young boys..."

The white figure accurately pointed at the lightning: "Hero, Stickman."

*Splat* My thigh got pinched.

Bai Ying immediately said, "Of course! The Brave Plus is also a pure girl, with the charm of spring breezes that ripple across the pond!"

"Oh?" Sakurajima Mai narrowed her eyes slightly, a rare thought of taking a nap. Indulging in her mood was definitely not a good thing; she herself had started sleeping in. "Say nice things at a time like this, I suspect you have ulterior motives... Hmm, you've always had ulterior motives, hehehe..."

"You don't believe me? I'll prove it to you!"

The white figure made a solemn vow.

"alright."

Sakurajima Mai closed her eyes, hearing that familiar voice in her ear—it really was the best hypnotic drug…

"It's a little past six in the morning now, the stick figure should be waking up soon, but we didn't tidy up anything last night."

Bai Ying sensed Sakurajima Mai stiffen and said mercilessly, "What's even more terrifying is that she was sleeping under the covers. She's probably getting marinated by now."

Sakurajima Mai instantly awoke, and the white figure marveled at the medical miracle!

After fully waking up, everything felt wrong. I smelled of sweat, my hands and face felt dry, my mouth tasted strange, and there were various marks on my pajamas and chest, especially inside my underwear...

Aaaaaaaa——!!!

Often, awkwardness is simply due to the absence of certain essential elements.

Mai Sakurajima abruptly threw off the covers and sat up. Looking down at the messy sheets with crumpled tissues and stains, she couldn't help but gasp – well, even the air that had been sealed off for several hours smelled a bit strange.

I can hardly believe I fell asleep under those conditions!

"You're still laughing! You clean up the house, I'm going to take a shower!"

Sakurajima Mai angrily ripped the pillow off Shiro's face, then smeared it on Shiro's face before hurriedly putting on her slippers and running to the shower.

"Sigh—you..."

The white figure made a gesture as if to call out to the other person, but Sakurajima Mai did not turn around.

Oh dear, what a flustered and careless hero, making all sorts of mistakes...

Bai Ying yawned, got up, and drew back the curtains—the winter morning breeze rushed into the bedroom, instantly tightening her weary nerves.

Looking back at the messy bedsheets, Bai Ying's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Hero Plus...

I would call it a trigger-based succubus.

breakfast time.

While drinking millet porridge, Feng Bin and Hua casually complained, "My sister forgot to bring clothes when she took a bath? That must have been the work of that jerk."

"Stickman, your sister complex is way too obsessive!" the white figure complained. "Couldn't it just be that the hero plus is missing a thought process?"

Paji.

Mai Sakurajima stomped on the white figure's feet under the table, a smile on her face: "Isn't this your doing? Black Fan, we've known each other for so long, and you can't even fool Kazuha anymore."

Bai Ying: "Lian?"

Toyohama Kazuka: "Huh?"

"Ahem... I mean, I'm already immune to those little tricks of the haters." Sakurajima Mai coughed twice to correct him, "No matter how good you are at talking, as long as it's you, your credibility is completely gone..."

Bai Ying casually said, "Stickman, your sister is pregnant."

"Huh?!" Feng Bin and Hana stared in disbelief, their minds racing—

Bai Ying turned her head and shrugged: "See, she believed it."

"Nisunai——!!"

"Hey Hater! I've given you the fresh start, remember to hand in the script for the show tomorrow!"

“NO——!!!”

……

I always urge for more updates after my inspiration has dried up.

The white-clad figure sighed deeply as he strode through the Zongwu Highlands to scout out enemy positions, pondering how to find material.

"Don't read it if it's too long. I'll give you three seconds to come up with something creative."

"what?!"

Angelina said expressionlessly, "How about White Shadow's 7200-degree backflip?"

Bai Ying fell into thought.
