Uneasy daily life

“You’re my girlfriend, not some dog’s parents’ girlfriend,” Bai Ying said matter-of-factly. “They definitely want to know you like the police know a criminal suspect—what are your interpersonal relationships like? Do you have a criminal record? What is your family background? What is your name and age? What is your job? What is your wealth?”

Yukino Yukinoshita's lips twitched slightly, and for a moment she actually felt that there was some truth to it. She quickly shook her head and threw that logic away, pointing out the problem: "Normally, shouldn't your parents be more interested in understanding how we became a couple?"

"Okay! You said it!"

Bai Ying snapped his fingers, holding his phone in camera mode, and solemnly declared, "Then, brave warrior, please express in a vivid, engaging, and interesting way how you like me. Let's begin!"

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita paused for a moment, then said with a deep gaze, "Don't say anything, I'll think of how to introduce myself."

"no problem."

Shiro shrugged and sat down next to Yukino Yukinoshita, raising her phone to capture the two of them in the frame: "Sit closer, at least make it seem like you're close, so they don't think I'm trying to fool them again and refuse to acknowledge you as the real one..."

"Again?" Yukino Yukinoshita felt like she had heard a strange word.

“Yes,” Bai Ying nodded. “For example, when I did well on a test, I told them I did poorly, and when I did poorly, I told them I did well. The main thing is to cultivate their independent thinking ability, so they don’t believe everything I say. Later, when they wanted to know my grades, they would just look at the test paper and ask the teacher…”

"?"

Yukino Yukinoshita had a strange expression. Suddenly, she found it hard to imagine how a couple would deal with a particularly troublesome and mischievous child after giving birth to Haku-kun... She could find out about these things later, but she should first think about how to introduce herself to Haku-kun's parents, whom she had never met.

Ok……

So, how should I address them? "Father" and "Mother" would be too abrupt, "Father-in-law and Mother-in-law" would be too strange, "Uncle" and "Aunt"? ...

Forget it, let's keep it simple and ordinary.

"Hello, uncles and aunts, my name is Yukino Yukinoshita, and I'm Haku-kun's girlfriend..."

Yukino Yukinoshita read a couple of sentences in a somewhat monotonous way, then suddenly realized, "Wait, if I speak Japanese, they definitely won't understand, right?"

"It's alright," Bai Ying said, patting her chest. "I'll translate it for them!"

Beneath the snow, the snow gazes silently.

"How about adding subtitles?" Bai Ying shrugged. "But no matter what, you're not going, so I'll have to face it alone. If I face it alone, and you're worried about your reputation being damaged, what can I do?"

"Hmph...looks like I'll have to find some time to learn Chinese."

Yukino Yukinoshita gave a soft hum, straightened her expression, and prepared to continue her self-introduction.

She suddenly found herself speechless—what should she say? She seemed to have no idea what to say.

If I had to say something, could you introduce your age? What career do you want to pursue in the future? What's your family situation like? Uh… from being interrogated as a criminal suspect to suddenly becoming a criminal suspect explaining their background?

"Brave warrior, speak up! Why is only one person signing their name?" Bai Ying urged with a grin. "My parents are watching from across the street. What's with your sudden silence? Are you trying to be the leader?"

You white fungus!

Yukino Yukinoshita took a light breath, then suddenly turned her head and kissed the white figure on the cheek with lightning speed. Turning back to the camera, she tried her best to keep a straight face and said, "I'm sorry that this is the only way we can meet for the first time. Once I learn Chinese, I will definitely find time to visit you in person. I wish you all the best in your lives... Well, that's all for now."

She reached out and pressed the interrupt button on her phone, then suddenly frowned and said, "Wait, you're filming this kind of video in my bedroom..."

Bai Ying blinked: "You want to reshoot in the living room? Sure! I think that's a good idea..."

Who would want to film such an awkward video, like talking to thin air, when they're being watched?!

"I'll go call the next one."

Yukino Yukinoshita immediately got up and left the room.

Bai Ying touched her cheek, glanced at the video she had recorded, and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh...

Romantic relationships are an interpersonal activity that effectively lowers a girl's intellectual level.

……

"Name."

"Yukinoshita Haruno."

"age."

"You're 18!"

"Profession."

"Professional musicians and guitarists."

What family or interpersonal relationships do you have?

"One father, one mother, and one sister; other than that, there was no other special interaction."

"Do you have anything else to explain?"

"I graduated from a prestigious university with excellent academic performance. I have many years of social practice experience, a certain network in the industry, a generous and enthusiastic personality, a quick and intelligent mind, a dignified and spirited appearance, and I am good at turning things I am not good at into things I am good at. As for the role of Bai Ying's girlfriend, I am fully confident that I can handle any related issues in the job."

"Great! You're hired!"

"Whoosh! The boss has a discerning eye."

"But I have another question: how do you prove to others that you've successfully landed the job?"

"Just stamp it, right? Give it a try—mua!"

Yukino Yukino smiled and walked away. Shiro examined the video content. Excellent! It was a textbook self-introduction. No wonder 9528 had lost his innocence before even graduating from university. Unlike some high school students who are about to graduate, they don't know what to write in the self-introduction section to praise themselves. They are too embarrassed to write anything, and they can't even think of anything at all!

Gap.jpg!

"Such an excellent standard answer, shouldn't you learn from it? Who kicks the interviewer right off the bat?"

Bai Ying looked at Feng Bin and Hua with a serious expression, but he was kicked after only asking two questions!

"Don't be ridiculous. How many years have we known each other? You're just trying to stir up trouble. Don't even think about fooling me." Feng Bin and Hua sat on the edge of the bed, habitually crossing their legs, looking left and right at the phone camera. "Just say it directly to this, right?"

“Yes, I’ve already started filming.” Bai Ying nodded. “If you have anything you want to say to our parents, just say it.”

"Oh... my name is Toyohama Kazuka, I graduated from high school this year, and I work as an active idol, um... um..."

Toyohama and Hana scratched their heads, caught in the same predicament as Yukino Yukinoshita—Huh? What should they suddenly say to their jerk parents?

"Don't know what to say?" Bai Ying pointed and gestured. "Take this seriously. This is in front of your boyfriend's parents. What if you don't express yourself well and they think you're a con artist? Or what if my parents don't approve of this marriage? What if you don't leave a good impression on them?"

"It's none of their business whether I date you or not."

Feng Bin and Hua bluntly stated, "They disagree, so you disagree too? Aren't you and I clearly a couple?"

“That makes a lot of sense.” Bai Ying nodded immediately, holding up her phone and saying, “Good! It’s wise to make things clear in advance! Stickman, why don’t you take this opportunity of self-introduction to give them a heads-up, so they don’t come here with a bunch of thoughts and badmouth you to me?”

"Uh-huh……"

Feng Bin and Hana thought for a moment, then looked at the camera and said, "Bastard and I are a couple. It doesn't matter whether you agree or disagree. We are the ones in a relationship... So it's fine if you agree. If you really disagree, then don't agree. I'll just see you less often in the future. Well, if you agree, I'll come visit you with you again after I have time and have learned Chinese."

The white figure gave a thumbs up: "Stickman, tough!"

"Get out of here, you're being sarcastic."

Feng Bin and Hua pouted and went straight back to the living room.

Yukinoshita was the first to ask curiously, "How did you introduce yourself, Hana-chan?"

"Introduce yourself? Ah... I think I only mentioned my name, age, and job?" Feng Bin and Hua were taken aback, scratching their heads. "I don't think there's anything else to say. Anyway, the bastard isn't very close to his parents. Besides, as long as they don't object to my relationship with the bastard, there's nothing more to say, right?"

"?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked puzzled and stammered, "But those are Haku-kun's parents..."

"so what?"

"?"

Yukino Yukinoshita felt a bit of PTSD after hearing Toyohama Kazuka's words.

"I'm dating a jerk, and he won't break up with me just because his parents object, so let's just say what we want to say." Feng Bin and Hua muttered with their arms crossed. "Isn't this a cross-border relationship? Not only are his parents far away from me, but we also don't speak the same language, so there's probably a generation gap. And I'm an idol, and people online say that Chinese people are particularly conservative... Humph! Anyway, it's better to be clear from the beginning than to pretend to get along well and then disagree and keep arguing."

The others fell silent for a moment, their mood becoming strange.

Yukinoshita gave a thumbs up: "As expected of Kazuha-chan, our fighting strength depends on you!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's expression was subtle; she felt like she'd been unfairly targeted, yet she also found Toyohama and Hana's logic strangely plausible!

Putting everything else aside, Bai Jun's parents are definitely used to staying in the place where they've lived for a long time, but Bai Jun will probably stay in Japan in the future. As parents, they would probably object to this from this point of view... No, no! I've been led astray by Toyohama's line of thinking!

"On a first meeting, before getting to know each other, how can you rashly regard the other person as an enemy blocking your way?" Yukino Yukinoshita remarked.

Toyohama Kazuka: "Uh..."

Mai Sakurajima stood up with a smile: "Hmm... Kazuka doesn't need to introduce herself anymore, she feels like she's already introduced herself very clearly."

"Ugh—! So annoying! Whatever, let it be!" Feng Bin and Hua scratched their heads at the situation and decisively chose to skip it. "If they talk nicely, I'll talk nicely too. If they insist on saying something wrong, I'll just curse back!"

Kaga's words were direct and simple, yet they made a lot of sense...

Ultimately, without knowing the hater's parents, her directness was more effective than a few simple, peaceful, and uninformative remarks.

Mai Sakurajima is deep in thought as she faces the phone camera.

The white figure offered a friendly reminder: "Brave Plus, if you really don't know what to say, how about issuing a declaration of war? Tell them that your sons belong to me. If they know what's good for them, they'll have plenty of retirement funds and can see their sons during holidays. If they don't know what's good for them, then don't blame me for being ruthless..."

"Yes, thank you for saying those impolite things, Black Fan. I'll just say something polite then." Mai Sakurajima came to her senses and straightened her expression slightly. "Uncle and Aunt, Black Fan and I have been through a lot to get to where we are today. Based on my feelings for Black Fan, I also have respect for you both. I hope that when we can have a smooth conversation, we can meet."

Let's leave it at that for now.

Bai Ying squinted at them, then suddenly asked, "You really don't plan to come with me to meet Mom and Dad?"

Mai Sakurajima chuckled lightly, "I really didn't plan to. Who told the hater to pick the graduation season? That's when I'm really busy."

"Stop joking around. You're a college student now, not some teenage high school girl anymore," Bai Ying retorted. "You can't expect any company to make you shoot commercials with this kind of image these days, can you?"

Mai Sakurajima smiled but remained silent.

Bai Ying said knowingly, "It seems the expiration isn't too serious..."

踩！

"Stop saying 'expired,'" Sakurajima Mai said irritably. "You'll be an expired high school student soon too."

The white-clad figure pinched an orchid and said plaintively, "Ha~ have you lost the thrill of an older sister teasing a younger brother?"

“?” Sakurajima Mai rolled her eyes. “I’ve never felt that way before. Since you like using JK (high school girl) as an example, then write me a high school idol drama script. You and I will play the male and female leads respectively. Let’s reminisce about high school life before it becomes too outdated.”

"Oh... I've actually had some ideas about this lately."

The white figure touched its chin.

"Hmm?" Mai Sakurajima's eyes lit up slightly after she had only said it casually. "Then I'll look forward to it."

"You play the promiscuous young woman who gets abortions after graduation and goes to work in a factory, and I play the rebellious scumbag who hangs out with the alternative..."

"Do you even need to act?"

"That's true."

……

"Next person!"

Bai Ying took out her phone, turned on the camera, and routinely asked, "Name, occupation, age, family background, interpersonal relationships..."

Angelina remained silent, her eyes darting nervously at the white figure.

Bai Ying tapped the desk on the surface, speaking authoritatively: "Don't think that just because you stay silent, I won't find anything out! Don't underestimate my intelligence network; I know everything about you. I'm giving you a chance to confess honestly. Staying silent will only increase your punishment, while cooperating and confessing will lead to leniency..."

"Ahem, sir..."

Angelina whispered, "How about I go back with you to see your aunt and uncle?"

"Wow! I thought it was just a petty thief, but I never expected it would lead to such a shocking case..."

"If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll hang you on the roof as a lightning rod!"

Chapter 107 Emotional Sensation, Extremely Emotional Sensation!

A large-scale social event that seems to be about class change and has countless parents and students on their toes has arrived.

Common name: College Entrance Examination!

Japanese academic name: Common Examination for University Entrance.

Chinese official name: National Unified Examination for Admission to Regular Institutions of Higher Learning.

Judging from the three names, it's hard to tell that they are exams of similar nature.

As we all know, the college entrance examination does not determine your life's destiny, but it will determine the future of your family's treatment of you.

However, Japan's university entrance exams are strictly speaking two parts. The first is a common exam for all high school seniors, and the second is the entrance exam for the university the student chooses. Generally, the score of the former determines whether the student has a ticket to the latter, and the score of the latter determines whether the student is ranked in the admission order.

In other words, you have to take the test twice!
