Uneasy daily life

Hmm? Did I say something strange?

Feng Bin and Hua looked at Bai Ying with slight wariness, and when they found that Bai Ying had stopped talking, they imitated them by resting their chins on their hands and looking over.

You look at me, and I look at you!

Feng Bin and Hua stared back.

If you open your eyes wider, I'll open mine wider too. If you don't blink, I won't blink either!

stare--!

Bai Ying suddenly blew a breath, and Feng Bin and Hua blinked, then decisively kicked back.

You cheated, you bastard!

"Oh dear, I really miss that silly stick figure who thought he was going to have eight kids." Bai Ying laughed. "You're still as funny as ever, but you're not so easily fooled anymore."

"Get lost! How many times have you fooled me? Before... um... tsk, I can't quite remember, but it doesn't matter—huh?!"

Feng Bin and Hua Zizi took another sip of their drinks, and as they came to their senses, they suddenly realized what was causing their strange feeling!

"What's wrong? You look like you've suddenly realized that adults can be bad people too?"

The white figure was quite curious.

"When we were wandering around just now, did someone cause trouble?" Feng Bin and Hua rested their cheeks thoughtfully. "Those...those few...hmm...I think I saw them before when we came here?"

Bai Ying: "You were a little distracted just now, thinking about this kind of... simple problem that isn't even a problem?"

"Yes, yes, I don't have your ability to see in all directions and your superb memory, as if you can split one head into several parts."

Feng Bin and Hua pouted: "It's normal that I didn't notice because I was watching you the whole time."

Hmm...those guys back then, weren't they the ones who chased that jerk around like that? There were also a few others I didn't recognize.

If I think about it, I can remember it too.

Feng Bin and Hua looked up at the white figure, wondering if they had been enjoying watching that bastard lately. They had been watching him for years, but recently they felt an even stronger urge to look at him.

Maybe so. Otherwise, why would I have come all the way to Izu? I just suddenly wanted to see the white figure…

"Hmm?" Feng Bin and Hua said alertly, "Are you going to play the staring contest again? If you do it again, I'll just poke your eye out!"

"No, no, no, I just thought about it. A bunch of troublemakers are really no fun. Their thoughts and ideas are written all over their faces, and you can see right through them."

Bai Ying laughed: "As expected, stick figures are more interesting. Even I, who am good at judging people, can't see through their own thoughts."

I feel like I was being tricked... I didn't instinctively kick out, so it doesn't seem like it?

Toyohama Kazuka asked疑惑地问道：“So?”

"Of course, it's in a room where no one can find it..."

"speak English!"

"Let's go! We're not playing with them anymore! Let's make a run for it!"

……

……

"Damn it! Where are they?!"

"It's over, I lost him!"

"Aaaaah! You despicable Kitahara, you traitor!"

"I suspect Kitahara has betrayed the people! Take him directly to the back mountain!"

"Alright! But what about Imamura? He still looks like he's dead."

"Let's bury it on the way."

"Too."

"You guys! Stay away from me!"

The scumbag group remains as united and close-knit as ever, never abandoning each other.

Angelina shook her head.

They're not up to much use; you'll have to rely on me, the superhuman.

P.S.: Where is inspiration? Where is inspiration?!

Chapter Eighteen: Love is Love

There is no fear or anticipation for the future, nor is there any regret or remorse for the past.

The road is right in front of us, the road is only in the present moment. Joy, sorrow, anger, and everything else are clearly distinguished. We can see things clearly and understand them, and we won't be unable to let go of them.

Kazuka Toyohama is that kind of girl. Despite being of college age and already a working adult who has been training to debut as an idol for a long time, her thoughts are still so transparent.

In fact, being a public figure like an idol inevitably means dealing with all sorts of people, seeing all kinds of harsh words and all kinds of praise.

When praised, one feels a little happy, but not proud or arrogant; when insulted, one feels a little angry, but not resentful or indignant.

I like Mai Sakurajima, I hate being compared to her, I enjoy learning to sing and dance, and I don't care about success or failure.

If you're angry, talk back; if you're happy, let it pass; if you're sad, solve the problem; if you're frustrated, catch up with it.

I can't control what kind of emotions I should have.

Are you praising me or insulting me?

Sitting by the window on the tram, Toyohama Kazuka's radar reaction was somewhat subtle; she wanted to kick him but also didn't really want to move.

"I am describing you."

The white figure stretched out a finger and poked Feng Bin and Hua's cheeks.

"Go away, what's there to describe?" Toyohama Kazuka irritably shook off the white shadow's finger. "We were having a nice stroll, why did you suddenly drag me to Chiba? Ooyuki no Shita is in Tokyo, and my sister is in Yokohama, where I don't know anyone..."

"What?!" Bai Ying roared in fury. "We're just the two of us out having fun, why are you bringing up other people? You—"

You can kick it now!

Feng Bin and Hua brushed against each other, and their thoughts immediately became clear.

"Fine, whatever, it's up to you. I don't need to think about where to go anymore." Fengbin and Hua leaned back and stretched, letting out a comfortable sigh. "It just feels like I wasted so much time riding the tram all day..."

"You're the stick figure who never wastes time."

"Crawl, crawl~"

I don't understand it, and I'm too lazy to figure out what other meaning it has, what emotions it expresses, or what theme it highlights.

Feng Bin and Hua yawned casually, took out their phones but didn't really want to watch videos or browse websites. They just sat there listening to the sound of the tram, which made them feel sleepy, but they didn't really want to sleep. So they could only turn their heads to look at the white figure next to them.

Bai Ying was unusually lost in thought, her eyes somewhat hazy, her gaze seemingly traversing time and space, looking towards someone in some unknown place.

...I'm a little annoyed.

Feng Bin and Hua reached out and pinched each other's cheeks.

"Oh! My inspiration—you stick figure! Look what you've done!" The white figure shuddered, lamenting, "Do you know how hard it was to come up with this inspiration? Do you know that you brought it to me? Do you know that you've ruined a masterpiece that will be passed down through generations..."

Feng Bin and Hua blinked, puzzled, then said matter-of-factly, "It doesn't matter. Since it was my inspiration, you can come and get it anytime. I'm not charging you any patent fees."

"Hey, don't make inspiration sound as common as cabbage at the market!"

Bai Ying sighed with regret: "The right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable. It's a melody composed of chaotic noise, a dance step pieced together in wild ecstasy, and a poem forged from a bunch of absurdities!"

"Oh," Toyohama Kazuka asked casually, "So, what do you want to write about?"

Bai Ying stroked her chin, pondered for a long time, and then said, "You like it, right?"

"I like you, are we even now?"

"..."

Why are you staring at me like that?

"The greatest truths are the simplest, stick figures."

The white-clad figure let out a strange sigh of admiration, clasped her hands in praise, and said, "The female benefactor possesses profound wisdom."

"?"

Feng Bin and Hua replied with a nonsensical question mark: "I like you, something as simple as that, and you call it wisdom? Have you never eaten or drunk water?"

"Hehe." Bai Ying reached out kindly and patted Feng Bin and Hua's heads.

He was kicked quite decisively.

Could it be that my unlucky boyfriend has been stuck on writing for too long and damaged his brain?

It doesn't seem like there is? Anyway, it's still acting strangely, like it's causing trouble and making a mess of things.

Feng Bin and Hua looked at their boyfriends... no difference.

I took another look, but I still couldn't see any difference.

I took another look, and there's nothing wrong with it.

The conclusion is: it's my boyfriend's intermittent seizure syndrome.

But then again, I took the train all the way to Izu, and then another all the way to Chiba... um...

Feng Bin and Hua felt that there was something wrong with them, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

It really is because of a few idiot teammates!

I had a sudden brain fart late at night and called that jerk. Then I had another brain fart this morning and booked a ticket to go straight to Izu. And now I've had another brain fart and am going to Chiba with that jerk!

Uh—um—hmm—

bother!

Toyohama Kazuka suddenly felt something was off, looked up and glanced around... Huh? This looks like the apartment I used to live in, doesn't it?

It's managed by the Koyuki family. When I was in high school, Koyuki lived here, and Shirakage lived here. Later, her older sister moved to the apartment across from Koyuki's, and I often stayed here too...

What are you doing here?

Feng Bin and Hua San caught up with the white figure who was secretly leading the way.

"Hehehe, of course I have a secret surprise for you." Bai Ying took out her door card and skillfully swiped it to enter. "Although the person has left, those rooms haven't been rented out, and they've even hired people to come and clean them regularly."

"Huh?" Feng Bin and Hua frowned. "That's such a waste."

Bai Ying shrugged: "Don't look at me. Who do you think did it?"

Such a sentimental thing...

"Truly worthy of being called Koyuki no Shita."

Feng Bin and Hua suddenly realized.

Then, following Bai Ying, they took the elevator upstairs and arrived at the door of the house where her sister used to live. Bai Ying opened the door, and she walked in with great interest, looking around at the layout of the house.

"It's been quite a while now..."

Feng Bin and Hua looked at the familiar layout of the room, felt a moment of nostalgia, and quickly put it out of their minds.

Oh right, what was I thinking about just now?

Feng Bin and Hua were momentarily stunned, then decisively chose to pass the question to that bastard, who definitely knew what they were thinking: "Speaking of which, I've been a bit annoyed lately, you know what I'm annoyed about... What are you doing?"

The white figure stood at the door, craning its neck to look outside, glancing left and right before retreating back in a stealthy manner, carefully closing the door behind it.

Click.

"...?"

Toyohama and Hana felt a little strange.

"I know, of course I know."

Bai Ying abandoned her stealth, straightened her body, and walked straight towards Feng Bin and Hua step by step: "But don't you know?"

"what do you know?"

Feng Bin and Hua did not back down, but just looked at the white figure walking in with a puzzled expression—well, isn't it normal for a boyfriend to suddenly have a desire to perform?

The white figure approached Toyohama Kazuka, lowered her head slightly, and touched her forehead to Toyohama Kazuka's: "You like me."

"?" Feng Bin and Hua couldn't help but reveal dead fish eyes that resembled Angelina's, and said speechlessly, "What's so annoying about that?"
