Uneasy daily life

The white-clad figure was utterly shocked: "You're going to such lengths to assassinate the king?! Summon Bian Que again!"

Hachiman Hikigaya had a sudden inspiration—hmm? Aside from being afraid of cats, there's one thing the captain seems to have shown extreme resistance to... it's Yuihama's handmade sweets!

Write down the minister's weaknesses.

"Shiraki, that's really going too far," Yukino Yukinoshita said, hands clasped in her pockets. "It's clearly Yui's kind intention..."

"Ah--!"

The white figure sneered, then suddenly sprang into action, his hands moving with incredible speed, pinching the bottoms of cupcakes and rapidly switching between them. He even deliberately used the occasional swings of his arms to block Yukino Yukinoshita's view.

Don't underestimate the agility of the troupe members!

"If you want to play Cake Dare, then you have to do three things—fairness! Fairness! And fairness!"

The white figure bowed politely to Yukino Yukinoshita, gesturing, "Hero, please."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Yui Yuigahama: "...Yuki, I can't even tell which one I made. Shiro was too fast."

Yukino Yukinoshita picked up a piece, peeled off the oil paper, put it in her mouth, and said calmly, "It's alright."

The white figure looked at the others.

Houtarou Oreki: "Okay."

Hachiman Hikigaya: "Not bad."

"Mmm-hehe! It seems to be plum filling, sweet and sour, the texture and taste are amazing!" Komachi Hachiman was full of adventurous spirit. "I didn't win, oh well. I wanted to try what the kind that made Brother Bai panic would taste like..."

"It's just a normal taste!" Yui Yuigahama said earnestly. "Even Yuki praised me for improving a lot!"

Bai Ying snorted, "That's because your bottom line has already exceeded the limits of her imagination!"

Yui Yuigahama patted her chest: "But I've eaten it myself, and I can eat it!"

White Shadow: "Is it delicious?"

Yui Yuigahama, after all, has a conscience; her shifty gaze provides the answer.

It's really too difficult to compare with Xiaoxue and Xiaoqian.

"Well……"

Angelina wasn't listening. When she saw the cake, she skillfully put down her pen and opened her phone to browse the news—as a young high school girl in the prime of her life, she had to keep up with the latest trends and topics, instead of being treated like an alien. She always had to put in the effort.

"Ugh... Ugh?! What... what is this taste?"

Angelina swallowed the cake forcefully, then stared at the remaining half, her eyes filled with confusion and fear: "This...this could be the pineapple pizza flavor that Dad scolded me for?"

Yui Yuigahama said excitedly, "I did add pineapple, I didn't expect Nata to be able to taste it—how does it taste?"

Angelina paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "May I waste some food?"

Yui Yuigahama is badly damaged.

Angelina couldn't bear to part with it, so she stuffed the remaining half of the cake into her mouth and gulped it down, as if afraid the flavor would linger on her tongue for even a second longer. Then she managed to say, "It's...it's still pretty good! At least the outer layer of cake is delicious!"

Yui Yuigahama remained silent, sitting on the sofa as if she had crossed the river of time in just a few seconds, becoming a stone statue waiting to be weathered.

“Chitanda made all the cake layers,” Yukino Yukinoshita tried to encourage her indirectly. “I’ve heard that Italians hate pineapple pizza. Anshin-in used to live in Italy, right? Maybe he’s not interested in pineapple…”

Angelina honestly said, "Italians also eat pineapple. It's mainly because when pineapple is baked with pizza, the taste becomes particularly... cough cough, that's probably why I personally can't accept it."

“Yuihama, promise me…” Bai Ying suddenly said affectionately, “Give up cooking, otherwise I’m afraid I’ll see strawberry mapo tofu one day—among the chefs I know, you’re the freest one.”

Yui Yuigahama, having recovered somewhat, asked curiously, "Then...then how about using an apple?"

"Let me go—I'm going to teach her a lesson she won't forget today! Go sit on the toilet and repent! Use your tongue to remember what Mapo Tofu is all about!!"

The white figure went mad.

"Minister! Calm down! Calm down!"

Hachiman Hikigaya was practically laughing his head off.

We must strongly support Yuihama's cooking!

"Ah! Everyone! Great news!"

Angelina suddenly exclaimed, stopping a potential tragedy: "Everyone in the class group was talking about Jinde just now. They said that Mai Sakurajima and a film crew announced they'll be filming in Jinde! The timing overlaps with the school trip! A lot of classmates are saying they're going to vote for Jinde!"

"What?" Yukino Yukinoshita took out her phone, opened a group chat she'd never seen before, and discovered that her class was also discussing this. "Hmm? Who is Mai Sakurajima?"

Angelina shook her head and said, "It seems to be a celebrity, but I'm not very familiar with Japanese celebrities..."

"She's a big star!" Yui Yuigahama exclaimed excitedly. "Very famous! She's been a popular entertainer since she debuted as a child star!"

Chitanda Eru exclaimed with genuine delight, "Oh? Is today really a good day? Now the school trip destination is set ahead of schedule! What great luck!"

"what?!"

Bai Ying shook off Hachiman Hikigaya, quickly pulled out her phone and checked, her expression very unhappy: "Where did this traffic-generating girl come from, stealing my credit! How dare she!"

"This is what they call 'Man proposes, God disposes,' Mr. Bai Ying. The decisive factor in success or failure is called an accident."

Yukino Yukinoshita realized what was happening and said with a smile, "It looks like it's a draw this time."

"From today onwards, I am the leader of Mai Sakurajima's haters!"

Bai Ying snorted coldly and downvoted each of the big star's posts.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Surprise!

Haters, who work tirelessly from dawn till dusk, must use their professional spirit to analyze everything the other party shows, to spot flaws and contradictions, and to pursue the ultimate weapon of a single word that speaks volumes. This is the essence of sharp eyes and sharp words!

The haters, a multicolored black, must disguise themselves as artificial intelligence that abandons personal emotions, and be like undercover agents with the awareness to abandon everything. They must disguise themselves, lie in wait, collect intelligence, and then make the decisive move!

"Have you been browsing Twitter since yesterday?"

In the early morning, Yukino Yukinoshita swept up some cat hair that had fallen in the living room. With a look of disgust, she looked at the white figure lying on the sofa, engrossed in his phone. It was like a mother looking at her good-for-nothing son who played games, chased celebrities, was addicted to internet slang, and suffered from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

"It is difficult to love someone, and it is also difficult to hate someone."

Bai Ying said solemnly, "Yesterday I was just doing some preparatory work. The downvotes were nothing more than a declaration of war."

"Then, Mr. Bai Ying, the great philosopher, may I ask what your pre-battle preparations were?"

Yukino Yukinoshita chatted casually, emptying the dust and cat hair into a trash bag and opening the bag tied to the table leg to free the struggling Knight.

The cat's sleep schedule is starting to look good; at least now the cat doesn't jump over the edge of her bed in the middle of the night, and her sleep schedule is in harmony with hers.

Finally, I can happily pet the cat again. It's been such a long time!

Yukino Yukinoshita, holding a cat and scratching its chin with her fingers, sat on the sofa on the other side, listening to someone's serious words.

"I watched all her TV dramas and commercials since her debut, read through the reviews and reports about her from various media outlets, and even sifted through the sea of ​​information to find out some details about her family situation, life trajectory, and schools she attended..."

"?"

Yukino Yukinoshita asked in a strange tone, "Can I call the police? Mr. Shirakage's behavior is more like that of a pervert than a hater, isn't it?"

"Ha! Superficial! Those third-rate, fourth-rate haters who only know how to nitpick can't compare to me?" Bai Ying sat up abruptly, her expression serious. "Now I've mastered the 'Sakurajima Mai Hater Technique'! It's time to don my armor and start an internet debate under her Twitter account!"

Bai Ying held the phone, her fingers moving like the wind, displaying the demeanor of a top-tier keyboard master.

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced sideways and asked, "May I ask what you did under that person's account?"

"Under the tweet recommending desserts, we should criticize her harshly for being an actress who so enthusiastically embraces high-calorie sweets, showing no professionalism whatsoever! Be careful, she might unknowingly gain weight and ruin her acting career!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "They were just making a recommendation."

"In the latest youth campus genre, the film first satirizes the screenwriter for writing youth with their feet, claiming that boys' youth should be about failing grades, copying homework, being punished by standing, being talked to by teachers, and worrying about when the arcade opens after class! Who would talk about 'school beauties' with friends on campus, fall deeply in love, and suffer from stomach problems from being so infatuated! Then it criticizes the director's use of camera angles as perverted, with the camera practically shoving into the actors' faces and legs, which, in a way, shows self-awareness—knowing that they are selling sex appeal! Finally, it comments that this star's acting skills and sex appeal are like flowers on cow dung..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "...Isn't this a compliment?"

Bai Ying chuckled sinisterly, "This is creating a power imbalance! As long as her fans agree with and support me, the result will be that everyone else in the crew will be criticized, while she gets praised. Do you think the others will feel balanced? If she deeply agrees, or even gets caught up in this praise, she'll become arrogant and conceited, falling into the abyss of self-importance. I'm sure rumors of her acting like a diva will surface sooner or later. Then, the seeds will take root and sprout, and everyone will kick her when she's down!"

Yukino Yukinoshita had reason to suspect that the white shadow was lying about her war achievements and fabricating battle results.

She bent down and focused on petting the cat. Seeing the kitten keep glancing at the white shadow and its restless posture, she felt a little unhappy. So she rubbed the cat's head with both hands and ruffled the fur on its neck against the grain. In no time, the kitten was fluffy like a little lion.

knight: "Meow meow..."

"Meow meow..."

Yukino Yukinoshita moved her lips and responded very softly.

Wait! The white figure probably didn't hear that, right?!

"Whoa—!"

Yukino Yukinoshita calmly asked, "What's wrong?"

"As expected, there are talented people everywhere on the internet. One guy actually saw through my sinister intentions and tried to shut me down with the argument that audience liking something means liking it and market performance is the answer!" Bai Ying became serious. "Let me see how effective your keyboard skills are!"

Thankfully, I didn't hear it...

"Hahahaha! Creating content is hard, but how hard can it be to critique? Let me show you what a true hater boss looks like! Take this all-around nitpicking killer move!"

You heard it, didn't you?

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at the person who had suddenly fallen ill, then picked up her cat and went back to her bedroom to study. "Just indulge in your anti-fan career," she thought. "I'll come back and enjoy your suffering after the final exams."

This guy, nicknamed "Want to Be a Bunny Girl," is a keyboard warrior! He's good at using situations to put himself on a moral high ground, using a wide range of sources to defend against attacks from all angles, and he's quite skilled at using what you think are just your perceptions. He can also speak as seriously as a press conference presenter.

Ha! Serious?

Bai Ying glanced at the other person's profile.

Being male and choosing such a name already reveals your frivolous nature!

Of course, this is not suitable material for attack. As a hater, if you resort to personal attacks in the confrontation with the opposing fans, you will expose your true nature as a hater. Any words or actions will be labeled as 'deliberately targeted' and will not achieve the effect of a fatal blow.

Mai Sakurajima's latest selfie: "A beautiful schoolgirl gazing at the city in the early morning."

[Bai Liang and Bai Ying: As an artist, one should manage their image well and not post selfies casually. No matter how beautiful something is, seeing it too often will become tiresome. Hiding it is the smart way to preserve one's value.]

[Want to be a Bunny Girl: @BaiLiangBaiYing, it's a pity this is the choice of the times. Where can celebrities survive if they don't live in the hottest and most popular topics? Hiding artists isn't preserving their value, it's just being sidelined and depreciating. The world forgets someone much faster than you think.]

[Bai Liang Bai Ying: @Want to be a Bunny Girl, is it possible that I'm referring to the angle and image in my selfie? There's a tiny bit of boogers in my eye. Screenshot.jpg]

[Want to be a Bunny Girl: @BaiLiangBaiYing, those are eyelids! You're zooming in on someone else's selfie this much to find fault? Are you a pervert? That's terrifying!]

[Bai Liang Bai Ying: @Want to be a Bunny Girl, I didn't film this, this is slander, speculation, and presumption of guilt! Since celebrities have to show their faces to others, are they not allowed to be judged by the audience? If that's the case, why be a celebrity? Go be a white crane repaying a debt of gratitude!]

[A Coke: ...Hiss! It really does look like eye boogers?]

[Some fries: Is it an eyelid? Looking at this profile, if the eyelid is more prominent... well, it does look like eye boogers... Wait, is that eye boogers or an eyelid?]

[Sakurajima Mai is the best: Whatever! The more eye boogers, the better! It means it's a rare, truly private photo! Extremely valuable for collection—I must save it to a document immediately!]

Users gradually entered the room, and began arguing about whether it was eye boogers or eyelids. Some fervent fans proclaimed it a rare find and added it to their collections. Meanwhile, a large army of haters seized the opportunity, lamenting, "The artist's image management is inadequate; she's lacking in decorum! Apologize!" Some die-hard fans cried out, "That's not eye boogers! Mai doesn't have eye boogers!" And some onlookers, not wanting to miss out on the drama, started playing a game of spot the differences with Mai Sakurajima…

War raged across the land, and the feudal lords fought endlessly.

Five minutes later, the observer above extended a massive, all-encompassing hand—the tweet was deleted.

The white-clad figure held the camera in hand, a triumphant smile on his face.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! So what if you cultivate the righteous path? You can't stop me with this unorthodox move.

Brilliant! Brilliant! We've successfully dealt a blow to the enemy's arrogance.

Bai Ying resumed her lying position, resting her head on the sofa armrest. Finding it too low, she added a cushion for herself and became engrossed in browsing celebrity updates on her phone, embodying the classic image of a modern-day loser.

"Little girl, Little Erlang, carrying explosives, climbs onto the internet!"

Let me see where the fuse is—the formulaic operation of the account, which can be identified as an entertainment company at a glance, with selfies accounting for 50%, promotional content for events and movies accounting for 30%, and the remaining 20% ​​either dessert shops or other things that at first glance seem 'youthful'.

In short, the goal is to cultivate a public image of a youthful, pure, and beautiful female student.

One of yesterday's posts was about the pre-release promotion for a new movie, titled "Them," which was about to be filmed in Zhenhai.

Synopsis: This story takes place ten years ago—I've been pondering, who are they? And who am I...?

It's immediately identified as a "tragic youth" series; too long to read.

Oh, this one that was promoted needs to be changed; change the "dislike" to "like".

People should be able to distinguish right from wrong and have a conscience.

As a professional hater, Bai Ying has developed a set of action guidelines—youthful, pure, and beautiful female students?

Hahaha! Let me take a closer look at your persona!
