Uneasy daily life

"What the heck? Don't be abstract, give me something specific."

"I am a reincarnated being, possessed by an evil force in my previous life. To prevent harm to the innocent and to eliminate that evil force, I left with the Crimson Troupe to find a way to defeat the Dark Destiny. During this process, I met many companions. After my companions and I completely defeated the Dark Destiny, everything suddenly returned to the beginning, and I lost my memory—but the days we fought side by side had already become destiny, calling me from the depths of my soul to leave my homeland, travel far away, and find those companions..."

Doesn't this just make things more abstract? Or is the translation software acting up again?

Mai Sakurajima thought to herself with a subtle sarcasm.

"I see. Looks like you've been through quite a lot."

Huh? You believed that?!

Mai Sakurajima was disheveled in the wind. The middle-aged man spoke calmly and wistfully, "I'm actually quite regretful. From childhood to adulthood, you've always been a very opinionated, quick-thinking, and clever child—not just in terms of exam scores or professional skills, but in your ability to easily see the essence of things and understand other people's thoughts... Thinking about it carefully, our family is so grateful for your influence that we've avoided many detours and bad things. Your mother is easily fooled and deceived, and I used to have that terrible personality of thinking about free lunches. Every time, it was you who, despite seemingly messing things up, actually pulled us out of our predicament."

“When other families talk about their children, they can’t say anything else besides grades, jobs, and marriage. But when I talk about my own children, I’ll talk about the essay you wrote at school, ‘My Father,’ quote a few of your famous sayings, and recount the funny stories we had when we did our workbooks together… Back then, I really missed you, and I felt that our family was different from other families, much better.”

"No matter how good other families are, it's nothing more than their children getting good grades, earning a lot of money at work, and getting married and having children early. What's good about our family is that we get along very well as a family. When we talk about the past, we can talk non-stop."

The middle-aged man sighed, "You rascal... Anyway, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

...That's true. No matter what, they are father and son, family. At first glance, it seems that the hater hasn't been home for several years and hasn't contacted his family, but their family's affection will not be affected by this.

The hater is lucky to have a good father.

Mai Sakurajima pursed her lips, revealing a slightly gratified smile.

"You still don't believe in my abilities?" Bai Ying sighed. "Father, you were far behind me at my age. Instead of worrying about my condition, you should think more about your future—when are you and Mother going to have children? It will be very risky to have children if you get older."

The hater is really something... still pushing for babies at a time like this? It's definitely not that the translation software is malfunctioning.

Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Damn it! Don't you have a heart?!" the middle-aged man roared in anger. "I've already gone to such lengths to get this sentimental, and you're still pressuring me to have a baby?!"

Bai Ying sneered: "You think you can become emperor just because you can use emotional manipulation? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

...The translation software must be malfunctioning.

The middle-aged man clicked his tongue and hummed, "It's written on the household registration book!"

"Oh?" Bai Ying said quietly, "I specially brought some photo albums of Japanese beauties this time. You know I'm partly in the entertainment industry, I have a lot of connections..."

"Let me see! The provider of the Y chromosome in biological genetics!" The middle-aged man immediately perked up, then became wary again. "Wait a minute! You wouldn't have secretly stuffed photos of Sakura and Hana into there to ambush me, would you?!"

Bai Ying snorted coldly: "Dream on, I'm keeping them all for myself!"

"That's fine..."

"Cough cough!"

A woman's cough suddenly came from a corner of the living room.

The white figure immediately closed its eyes and pretended to be asleep, followed closely by the middle-aged man who began to snore.

This family of haters is really—so white!

Chapter 119 Superb Leg Techniques

I awoke in the morning, feeling a strange sensation in my chest...

Yukino Yukinoshita groggily opened her eyes, then suddenly became alert. Turning her head, she saw that her older sister was fast asleep, her right hand somehow slipped inside her pajamas and rested lightly on her chest, while her sister was half-embracing her.

My sister's sleeping posture is really terrible.

Yukino Yukinoshita silently pushed her sister away, got up and left the room to wash up, when she suddenly noticed Shirokage's mother brushing her teeth in the bathroom. She paused for a second, then decided to wait outside for a while...

"Ugh? Ugh ugh ugh ugh!"

The middle-aged woman took a step to the side, raising her eyebrows and winking wildly in a suggestive manner.

Yukino Yukinoshita went into the bathroom, took out a light blue toothbrush from the pile of extra toothbrushes and mouthwash cups, squeezed out the toothpaste, and began to brush her teeth quietly.

There were definitely elders in the house, which felt quite special. Did it make me unconsciously mind my image? Or maybe not, how should I put it…

Have you slept with him?

"puff--!"

In a flash, Yukino Yukinoshita coughed into the sink, "Cough cough cough—Nothing!"

Realizing she couldn't understand the language barrier, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately shook her head vigorously: "NO NO NO!"

The middle-aged woman, lost in thought, typed again: 【Where's the kissing?】

"Well--!"

Why are you suddenly asking such a strange question? Is this something parents should be asking?!

Yukino Yukinoshita, holding a toothbrush and a water glass, was momentarily bewildered. She remembered to look for her phone, only to find it was still in the bedroom.

It seems like it's possible.

The middle-aged woman nodded.

Yukino Yukinoshita was unsure whether to nod or shake her head. She put down her toothbrush and cup and made random hand gestures that she herself didn't understand.

[Erbai is quite lively, boisterous, and outgoing, while you seem to be a quiet girl. You must have caused quite a few troubles when you were together, right?] The middle-aged woman smiled kindly.

Yukino blinked, nodded gently, and smiled to indicate that she didn't mind. If it weren't for Haku-kun's lively, boisterous, and outgoing personality, she and he wouldn't have had so many interactions. Without so many interactions, how could they have developed the curiosity and impulse to interfere in each other's lives? This was originally her and Haku-kun's destiny.

[At first, I was a little worried. How could someone like Erbai possibly get a girlfriend? I figured he'd only meet a girl once or twice, exchange a few words, and then they'd become sworn enemies.] The middle-aged woman's face seemed to show a mixture of emotion and worry.

Yukino shook her head vigorously, trying to convey her thoughts through her expressions and eyes. If Haku was the type to get along well with anyone, it would be difficult for them to have any connection. Haku liked to touch people's hearts, but that also meant he genuinely understood others. She had also had times when she and Haku had bickered back and forth, but it was precisely in this process that different emotions arose.

The middle-aged woman blinked and showed her phone screen again: [You shook your head after I said a few words to him. Does Yukino really like my son?]

Why would I become his girlfriend if I didn't like him? This kind of question is really...

The middle-aged woman looked over intently, seemingly taking the issue very seriously.

"Ah."

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips slightly, nodded her head slowly and clearly, and made a response that indicated she had no communication difficulties.

The middle-aged woman nodded repeatedly with a bright smile, then stepped out of the restroom, leaving Yukino Yukinoshita standing there in a daze for a few seconds. She patted her cheeks and continued washing up—hmm, it's probably hard to deal with all sorts of questions from elders when you're with them…

Yukino Yukinoshita walked out of the restroom in a cheerful mood, only to suddenly see Shirokage's mother talking to Angelina in the hallway.

"She really does blush. Her cheeks turn bright red when she says 'yes.' It's the first time I've ever seen a girl who's so shy that she blushes. It's really a bit embarrassing to watch."

"Oh dear, Yukino is like that. She can't lie or deceive people. She knows that telling the truth is embarrassing, but she has to force herself to say it. When she does, she blushes."

The middle-aged woman walked happily towards the kitchen.

Angelina hummed happily twice. "You wretched people! You secretly came all together without telling me! I'll tell Auntie all about you! Hehehe..."

"Anxinyuan, what are you talking about?"

Sigh!

Angelina was startled and turned around in a panic. Meeting the curious gaze of the person in question, she instinctively blurted out, "It was all the superior's orders!"

"?"

Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback: "What did he ask you to do?"

"?"

Angelina was also taken aback, and said guiltily, "Tell Auntie what kind of person you are?"

"?" Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head blankly, quickly realizing the strange questions her mother had asked in the bathroom, and her face darkened. "He...he told Auntie that we slept together?!"

Angelina tilted her head in confusion, then exclaimed in shock, "You also... you know... with Bai Ying?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Also?"

Angelina quickly corrected, "Didn't Yang Nai say that... you know?"

"Ahem... It seems Auntie has misunderstood something." Yukino Yukinoshita coughed repeatedly. "What did Haku-kun ask you to tell Auntie?"

Angelina: "Uh, I mean you're a quirky and serious girl, the kind who either speaks the truth or keeps quiet and makes others guess what she's thinking. If someone guesses what you're thinking, or if you have to say it, you'll blush and get shy... Auntie seems quite interested in the fact that you blush, that's why I said that."

"?"

Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes. What was that white fungus talking about? She walked coldly towards the living room. Angelina's eyes widened, and she belatedly realized—oh my god! She had unconsciously lied! If Yukino confronted the white shadow, wouldn't she be caught?

Goo!

Indeed, one should never lie. It's better to learn from Yukino: either be a silent type or a shrewd one.

Angelina followed him into the living room with a pained expression and a little embarrassed.

On the living room sofa, the two males in the house, rarely sitting together, were engaged in a lively discussion.

"Ha, what is there to be afraid of?!"

The white figure's voice rose sharply: "The brave are good at planning but lack decisiveness, hesitant to act on great matters, shy about trivial matters, hesitant to advance or retreat, nothing more than a twist of the tongue! 9528 thinks of retreating before advancing, of speaking before acting, of failing before succeeding, of planning for defeat even when victorious, seemingly cautious but actually cowardly, nothing more than a weakling! The stick figure is brave but lacks strategy, bold but lacks heart, even if he dares to act, he doesn't know how to act, a few words are all it takes to make him, nothing more than a fool! The brave plus has strategy and martial prowess, flirtatious and carefree, but lacks ambition, his body is as radiant as a peach blossom, his heart is as withered as an old tree, unmoved by the wind, unmoved by the snow, nothing more than an old man! 9527, hahahaha—!"

The middle-aged man sat on the sofa as if nothing was wrong, appearing calm and collected on the surface, but inwardly he was cursing.

"Well?" The white-clad figure waved an imaginary fan, a smirk playing on his lips in a defiant tone. "What are your thoughts on your mother-in-law, father-in-law? Would you dare to share them with me?"

"Humph!"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, his voice halved: "My wife..."

Bai Ying nodded and spoke, his voice rising in volume: "My wife..."

"You want to ask me something?"

A middle-aged woman peeked out from the kitchen.

The white figure leaned back on the sofa, raising an eyebrow as she waited.

The middle-aged man remained unmoved and calmly replied, "There are no flaws!"

"That's good." The middle-aged woman returned to the kitchen.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--!"

"why are you laughing?!"

The middle-aged man couldn't save face.

The white-clad figure pointed at his father and burst into laughter: "After so many years, you've wasted your time and made absolutely no progress! Absolutely no progress!"

"Ha! I was just deliberately trying to get you to talk!" the middle-aged man sneered. "As expected of a son-in-law with several girlfriends, you really do harbor so much resentment towards your lovers. I only had to test you a little, and you found out everything!"

White Shadow: "Hahahaha—"

Middle-aged man: "You brat, I advise you to settle down and treat people properly. Don't you even look in the mirror and see what faults you have? How dare you criticize others? You're like a dog barking at a human, shameless!"

White Shadow: "Hahahaha—"

Middle-aged man: "Damn it!"

White Shadow: "Hahahaha—huh?"

The unrestrained laughter suddenly stopped. The middle-aged man followed the white figure's gaze and saw Yukino Yukinoshita standing at the entrance of the corridor with her arms crossed, her expression indifferent. Beside her was Angelina, who looked indignant. Further back, Sakurajima Mai was by the room door, seemingly having just woken up and listening...

good good!

Middle-aged man: "Hahahaha! Let's see how you get out of this mess. I'll bring you a Coke from the balcony later, just to show my appreciation!"

Bai Ying wasn't flustered at all. Instead, she smiled and reached out to greet them: "Oh, isn't this the innocent and shy Xue Niu Niu, who hesitates and reflects on her words; the naive and innocent Hahaha, who is happy and sad as she pleases; and Grandma Ying, who doesn't let her own feelings affect her joy or sorrow, and is willing to share her love and hate with others?"

"Good morning, Shiraki." Yukino Yukinoshita clenched her fist and gave him a disgruntled look. Who introduces a girlfriend to their parents like that?!

She went straight to the kitchen to help her future mother-in-law.

Good morning, Grandpa Bai.

Mai Sakurajima rolled her eyes at the white figure, then turned around and walked into the bathroom while smoothing her hair.

Angelina was a little dazed.

Huh?! So, regarding Bai Ying, there's absolutely no need to worry about me spreading rumors about him? Because he'll just publicly announce that he did it himself?!

"What the hell did you say?!"

The middle-aged man turned his head in disbelief. Had it really just been over like that? No chance to go shopping together, burn incense, or watch some mindless, brain-teasing palace drama together?!

"What did I say?" Bai Ying asked blankly. "Didn't you say that your father-in-law was curious about what kind of person his daughter was, so I gave you a detailed introduction?"

"I mean, what did you just say in Japanese?" the middle-aged man corrected. "You were clearly talking badly about them behind their backs, weren't you? Why didn't they teach you a lesson?!"

Bai Ying frowned and said, "When did I say anything bad about them?"

Middle-aged man: "?"
