Uneasy daily life

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes behind her glasses shimmered with embarrassment. She bit her lip and glanced back at her unfortunate nemesis, but his intense gaze made her look away. She could only slowly place her hand on the desk and look up to see the document on the screen.

With her lips pressed tightly together, afraid to make a sound, Yukino Yukinoshita, filled with both shame and anger, mustered some strength and slammed her fingers hard on the keyboard.

[You've been fooled! The white fungus is actually a horny worm!]

A person's weight approached, and a pair of hands followed from behind, reaching onto the keyboard and gently typing out a line of text.

[Successfully fooled them, hehe.]

Chapter Thirty: The Taste of Soy Sauce, Vinegar, Oil, and Salt Has Been Forgotten

I'm angry, I'm not waking Bai Jun up today.

He was only allowed to drink hot milk and eat breakfast that suited his own taste!

Yukino Yukinoshita sat on the bed, patting her face. Even though she had already slept, yesterday's memories were still burning in her mind, making her head spin like fireworks... Especially that pervert, Shiro-kun, who deliberately leaned against the chair and made her move around a bit, he just loved to tease people...

Calm down! Calm down! Be rational! Be rational! Forget it! Forget it!

Get those filthy thoughts out of your head!

Inhale——

Yukino Yukinoshita turned to look at the sleeping white figure and pointed her index finger at him a few times from a distance.

It's true, it's true, it's true... Male! Male! Bai Jun! Pervert! Bad guy!

Feeling a little relieved, Yukino Yukinoshita slowly exhaled.

However, Bai Jun's incredibly eager, slightly rough, and particularly forceful behavior also shows that his charm is too strong... In other words, he really likes me... Hmm? Likes me more than I do? Ugh... Forget it, forget it, I don't want to think about it.

Yukino Yukinoshita quietly got out of bed. When she saw the chair in front of the desk, she blushed a little. She took out her glasses from the box, glanced at the sleeping white figure, and went to the bathroom in a few steps.

Put on your glasses and look in the mirror.

Nothing special...

Perhaps it's a difference in perspective between men and women, or between them and me?

Yukino Yukinoshita thought about it seriously. From her own perspective, the way Shiro-kun hugged her so forcefully and touched her, even with her back against his chest, made her feel her heart pounding faster and his insatiable aggression was incredibly arousing...

Ugh—throw it away, throw it away!

Yukino Yukinoshita washed her face with cold water and her expression turned serious.

Isn't that...too much?

Yes! Too many!

"Bai Jun, let's have a serious talk."

After breakfast, Yukino Yukinoshita sat on the sofa with a serious expression.

"Wait a minute, let me pull the chair out and wipe it down to dry it in the sun."

Bai Ying also solemnly signaled to stop, moved a chair out of the bedroom, filled a basin with water, added cleaning agent, and began diligently cleaning.

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm...

Bai Ying quickly wiped and cleaned the chair, placed it on the balcony to sunbathe, and then skipped back to the living room, sat on the sofa, put her hands on her lap, and suddenly exuded a serious demeanor.

"Well then, let the hero speak."

Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath, her gaze calm: "Haku-kun, I think we need to... exercise some restraint."

“Indeed.” Bai Ying nodded slowly. “We’ve been doing this every day since our first intimate encounter. This kind of thing must be done in moderation. A brave person must remember the laws of nature. Even if we are Stand users, we cannot indulge ourselves so recklessly, especially for men. Long-term, high-frequency, and continuous sexual activity will deplete the body’s vital energy. Without rest and replenishment, it will eventually cause many symptoms such as memory decline, premature aging, mental fatigue, and physical weakness. It is detrimental to health, life, work, and long-term relationship. It is something that must be taken very seriously, carefully monitored, and mentally strengthened to prevent the rampant spread of desire and the corruption of discipline!”

Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth, momentarily stunned and speechless.

Ah, uh... you've already said everything, what else can I say?

"Especially a very few brave young ladies." Bai Ying's voice remained calm, the severity evident in every word. "They often lose control of their emotions, recklessly using my very cute seduction techniques. Their minds are filled with little justice and integrity, but a jumble of strange and wicked tricks. They can't resist loneliness, can't suppress their desires, and have repeatedly received demerits! I offer you this advice—never forget your original intention, always remember your mission! Put your words into action, and carry out your actions on the right path! Don't wait until you've made a grave mistake, or it will be too late to regret!"

"#!"

Yukino Yukinoshita chuckled in exasperation. She raised a hand to smooth her temples and replied calmly, "Then I must say something about certain Mr. White Fungus. They can't control their instincts, are skilled at deceiving with sweet words, and will resort to brute force when pushed to the limit. They have a long history of offenses and their crimes are obvious. I advise them to think carefully about what they should do, lest they break their own promises and end up looking ridiculous."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

White Shadow: "Hmph!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Hmph."

White Shadow: Ha!

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Huh?"

With a single "hum-ha" move, Yukino Yukinoshita was forced into an opening. The white figure's eyes flashed, and seizing the opening, she launched a direct attack, leaping into the air!

Yukino Yukinoshita was caught off guard when her shoulder was grabbed. The next moment, she felt a head rubbing against her stomach, and her body was about to fall uncontrollably onto the sofa. She quickly braced herself with one hand and tried to push the white figure away with the other: "White, White Fungus! What were we just talking about?!"

"Huh?" Bai Ying asked in surprise, "I didn't take my pants off."

"?"

Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback, then looked away irritably: "I bet you're thinking of... you know what's coming next! No way!"

“Miss Hero, I need to correct you. Expressing my affection for you with words or actions is my right as a boyfriend!” Bai Ying hugged her confidently and rubbed her head against her. “The sound meeting regulations have no right to prohibit this!”

"Humph……"

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips, decisively reached out and patted the white figure's head, even pulling a strand of hair.

"Hiss—! This is intentional assault!"

"I was just exercising my rights as a girlfriend."

The two bickered and poked each other, like two elementary school students playing a childish game of teasing each other.

When Yukino Yukinoshita came to her senses, she realized that they were already lying on the sofa in each other's arms.

Of course! It's perfectly healthy contact, and this distance is completely normal for boyfriends and girlfriends!

The white figure poked Yukino Yukinoshita's cheek.

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her gaze toward them with a puzzled expression.

"Cough cough... It's nothing." Bai Ying shifted her gaze instead, as if she just wanted to poke her.

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, and said suspiciously, "You...you're not trying to lie to me, are you? Hmm...no way."

"Hmph!" The white figure raised his aura. "Hero! Are you underestimating my willpower? I defeated Kira Yoshikage—Super~Big~Hero! Bringing up such a thing suddenly makes you seem like you want to be fooled!"

"#!"

Yukino Yukinoshita wouldn't want to fall into the trap of proving herself whether she wanted to be deceived. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly glanced down at him. Then, with a slightly flushed and indifferent expression, she teased, "Haku-kun is two-faced. He's clearly trying to deceive people. You'll get a demerit."

“Brave one, my second brother’s thoughts don’t mean I think the same way. That’s just his opinion. He is his, and I am mine. We need to look at the special case where there are multiple individuals within one individual, dialectically…”

"Oh? Does Bai Jun want to cut it off?"

"..."

"Humph."

The man was utterly defeated.

Bai Ying: "Ah...is this the tragedy of men? As long as women are shameless, they can't win no matter how hard they try!"

"You're shameless."

Yukino Yukinoshita pinched the white shadow's face, feeling that she couldn't lie down any longer, so she quickly sat up. When she looked up at the time, she suddenly realized that it was already noon.

Well, the morning has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Alright, get up." Yukino Yukinoshita forcefully pulled the white figure who was lounging on the sofa up. "Will you cook lunch or should I?"

"I'll do it!" Bai Ying perked up instantly. "I've been so gentle and considerate in taking care of your health these past few days, and the meals have been bland. Today we have to have something with a stronger flavor!"

"?" Yukino Yukinoshita's eyebrows twitched slightly. "When you went grocery shopping earlier...did you put something in the refrigerator?"

Bai Ying grinned, revealing her teeth: "Pig liver."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Bai Ying held up two fingers: "Pig intestines."

Yukino's toes began to curl up.

The white figure chuckled wickedly: "And pork kidneys!"

“This isn’t just a weird taste, it’s… it’s…” Yukino Yukinoshita’s words were firm and resolute, “Pica!”

Bai Ying retorted loudly, "I think sashimi is what constitutes pica!"

"There are problems if river fish are eaten raw, but not if the sea fish are properly prepared."

"I can't even cook pig liver, pig intestines, or pig kidneys!"

"Hmm—then, I'll make sashimi, the kind with wasabi."

Yukino Yukinoshita was quite aware of the white fungus's biological habits: it disliked eating raw food, especially raw food dipped in wasabi. Although wasabi is also a strong-flavored condiment, it was completely outside the range of his taste buds. In his words, the taste of wasabi was like something that drills upwards; it should be a form of punishment rather than a condiment.

"Hiss... How about we do it together and keep each other accountable?"

"it is good."

As they walked into the kitchen, they moved cautiously towards each other, fearing that the other might pull out some unidentifiable ingredients from the refrigerator. Fortunately, neither of them did anything fancy when selecting ingredients.

Hmm, I'll make something a little stronger in flavor today. Adding chili peppers is definitely out of the question, but I can add more salt... So, I'll make a pork rib soup. Speaking of which, Bai-kun is clearly quite fond of heavy, oily flavors, but he doesn't really like the thick, fatty broth of tonkotsu ramen. Instead, he prefers a clearer broth.

While preparing the ingredients, Yukino Yukinoshita soaked the pork ribs in salt water.

Hmm—let's make some salty and sour dishes today. Yongzhe actually has a pretty wide range of tastes, she just doesn't like spicy food. Today, let her experience the profoundness of Sichuan cuisine! Let her know that the best fate for fish is to be cooked!

While slicing kimchi and fish fillets, Bai Ying started heating the pot over high heat.

Stir-fry, pan-fry, add water...

On the stove, there are two pots, one is a soup pot, and the other is also a soup pot.

Bai Ying glanced at the other soup pot and hummed, "It's alright, brave warrior, small ones are cute too."

"?" Yukino Yukinoshita rubbed her temples and said irritably, "Haku-kun, you've made such a big pot of soup, are we even going to finish it?"

Bai Ying: "Save it for dinner."

Yukino Yukinoshita casts a death stare and prepares to begin her educational lecture on food expiration dates and the process of bacterial growth...

“No problem, I have a huge appetite.” Bai Ying saw that the fish bone soup was boiling and quickly started to season it. “Brave warrior, try it and see if it suits you.”

Hmm? Come to think of it, the soup is very white, and I don't see any red from the chili peppers. Instead, there's some pickled cabbage and kimchi.

Yukino Yukinoshita took a spoon and stirred the soup base to make sure there was no chili.

Strange, I was even prepared to eat something spicy...

I gently scooped up a spoonful, blew away the steam and oil on the surface, and took a sip.

Sour, umami, and salty, which makes both flavors complex and distinct.

Surprisingly, it tastes quite good.

"How is it?" Bai Ying wondered if she had added too much seasoning.

Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, "It's alright, but it's a little too salty."

"?" Bai Ying was taken aback, took the spoon and took a sip.

Hmm... It's just a spoon, it's no big deal. We're already in such a close relationship, aren't you ashamed?

Yukino Yukinoshita muttered to herself, when she suddenly noticed the white figure handing the spoon back to her.

"Impossible! My seasoning is unparalleled! Try it again carefully!"

"Is there something wrong with Bai Jun's tongue?"

Yukino Yukinoshita took the spoon and drank the now-cool soup in one gulp: "It is indeed a bit bland..."

"I don't believe it, I want to try it."

The white figure approached stealthily, taking one or two steps at a time.

"Hey, what's all this fuss about... um?"
