My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

"Great!"

"I'm exhausted! Let's go get some ice cream!"

Originally, everyone was basically a classmate who knew each other, but now they are acting like they're leaving school, going about their own business in small groups.

"Shiraishi, wanna play basketball?" Taichi Oki was already standing some distance away, waving at Shiraishi Sawa, holding a basketball in one hand. "There are eight of us. If you come, we'll take turns in threes!"

"Tomorrow then," Shiraishi Sawa was indeed tempted to play, but after looking at his equipment, he said, "I'm wearing slippers today, so I can't play! It'll be four of you guys playing."

"OK! Remember to wear it tomorrow!"

Turning my head, I saw Soga Kirei already standing quietly to my side.

"Shiraishi-kun, would you like to have dinner together?"

"No need, Takanashi has already cooked dinner at the apartment. I'll go back and eat."

"Okay, then I'll go eat with Miko first. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After waving goodbye, Shiraishi Sawahide walked towards Kyobashi Station.

--

"I am back."

"Welcome back. You must have had a long day."

"Meow!"

Shiraishi Sawah picked up Mimi, who had come running over excitedly as soon as she heard the door open, and put her on his shoulder.

"Yuko?" Shiraishi Sawashu whispered in Mimi's ear, not very loudly.

"Meow~"

"Yuko?"

"Meow~"

When Shiraishizawa saw that Takanashi Yuuko was really coming over, he stopped this fun game.

"Shiraishi-kun, what's wrong with you...?" Takanashi Yuko asked, looking at Shiraishi Sawa's white spots all over his body.

"My job today is to paint walls." Shiraishi Zexiu only explained to her that he went out to work today, without mentioning that he was painting walls.

"Then hurry up and take off your clothes so I can wash them."

"No need to wash it, you can just keep wearing it from now on."

"That won't do. It's so hot, you're bound to sweat. It'll be so uncomfortable to wear these clothes and smell the sweat! Take them off now and let me wash them."

"Then I'll wash it myself later."

"You've worked all day, why are you washing clothes? It'll be tiring. I'm resting today, I'll wash them. I'll dry them with a hairdryer later, and you can wear them again tomorrow."

There's already a nice-looking sweater on the sofa.

"Take it off now?"

"Take it off now."

But when Shiraishi Sawa Hide actually started taking off his clothes, Takanashi Yuko realized that he was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt and nothing underneath, so she ran away again.

"You left the laundry tub in the bathroom, I'll go wash it later!"

So Shiraishi Sawa went to his room, grabbed his underwear and hairband, and took a shower.

--

"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Shiraishi Sawa asked Takanashi Yuko as she rushed in to get her clothes after taking a shower.

Fortunately, I had already washed and taken my underwear with me.

"Today it's shredded pork with scrambled eggs. Starting tomorrow I'll make something that can replenish my energy. I didn't know you went to paint the wall today, Shiraishi. Holding it up for so long must have been tiring."

Indeed, holding a roller brush for a long time is a very tiring job.

Although it was not yet six o'clock, Shiraishi Sawa's stomach was already growling.

"Thank you so much. Whoever marries Takanashi will be very lucky."

Because he was really hungry, Shiraishi Sawah started eating heartily after serving the rice, and Takanashi's cooking skills were becoming more and more refined.

"Have you had dinner yet, little bird?"

"I just ate. Can you eat the rest? If not, I'll try to make it for tomorrow's breakfast." Yuko's reply came from the balcony.

"OK, there's absolutely no problem finishing it."

Shiraishi Sawa even ate two small cakes after finishing his meal.

"Your VISA card 4... (card number)... transferred in 1,000,000 yen, balance: 161,073,917 yen."

While sitting on the sofa, Shiraishi Zexiu received this message. The prize money for the All-Around Knowledge Competition had arrived in his account now. Just like last time, the organizers first transferred the money to the school's account. Shiraishi Zexiu had thought that the school would distribute the prize money after the start of the semester.

A few days ago, Ichiro Gennai called both himself and Yuko Takanashi to inquire about the reasons for withdrawing from the finals and expressed his regret.

However, this is not meant to be harsh. After all, the fact that they managed to get two top ten spots and then gave them up has made Mingchuan Middle School quite famous in the education sector.

"Now that we have money, we can consider replacing the air conditioner and electric fan." Shiraishi Zexiu looked up at the creaking electric fan above.

To avoid noise while recording videos, Yuko Takanashi sometimes doesn't turn on the microphone at all.

Shiraishi Sawa called Hojo Hidematsu, explaining that if they needed to modify the walls to install fans and air conditioners, they had to ask the landlord for permission.

"Hey, Shiraishi, what's up? If you can't pay the summer rent, then we can do it later."

"No, Uncle Hojo, how could I not afford the rent when it's so cheap? I wanted to ask if I could remove the living room fan and replace it with a new one, and I also wanted to install an air conditioner in Takanashi's room, because it's getting hotter and hotter."

"The living room is fine, you can change it if you want. But the guest bedroom can't have an air conditioner installed. The air conditioning ducts weren't installed when it was designed, so we can't put the outdoor unit in there."

"If I want to get one installed now, I need to apply for a consultation, and the process takes quite a long time. It might be autumn by the time it's installed."

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Uncle."

Chapter 161 Persuading with Reason: Shiraishi Sawa Hide

This is a bit of a problem. The only type of air conditioner that doesn't need an outdoor unit is a portable air conditioner, but those are not very convenient and take up a lot of space. In Tokyo's hottest summer, the temperature can reach 35 degrees Celsius, so relying solely on a fan is really not enough.

Shiraishi Sawahide still asked Hojo Hidematsu to apply for the installation of air conditioning ducts first, since they would be living there for a long time, and it would be better to get it done.

Having already taken a shower, Shiraishi Sawah didn't exercise, but instead took out his calligraphy practice book and began practicing calligraphy again after a long absence.

Having spent this period in Hyogo Prefecture, and with reduced contact with his friend Tokyo, whom he used to chat with about calligraphy, Shiraishizawa Hide's interest in calligraphy has greatly diminished.

The Koshien tournament this summer is being broadcast live on TV. Unfortunately, the baseball team from Mingchuan Middle School failed to advance this year. Otherwise, the school would have already organized a group of students to go to the semi-finals to cheer for their teammates.

Koshien is a grand event in the hearts of the Japanese people, attracting approximately 800,000 online viewers every year.

However, Shiraishi Sawa didn't know much about baseball; he simply turned on the TV to find background music for his calligraphy practice.

"Shiraishi-kun, do you think this is okay?"

Shiraishi Sawa looked up and saw the clothes that Takanashi Yuko handed him. He grabbed them; they were completely dry, and the white spots on them were mostly gone.

"Thank you so much."

"Take a shower as soon as you get back these next few days, and I'll wash your clothes for you."

"Didn't you go out to play? Shouldn't there have been a bunch of other classmates inviting you out?"

"I've recently received a few more orders from businesses. I'm waiting for the clay to arrive tomorrow so I can start recording videos immediately. I don't have time these next few days, so I declined them."

--

The next morning, Shiraishi Zexiu stood at the school gate looking relatively energetic. He had been a little tired the day before and had gone to bed early.

"Today's task is..."

After Shimizu Yoshiko finished announcing today's tasks, everyone dispersed.

Shiraishi Sawa and Oki Taichi's mission remained unchanged, so the two walked towards the school building side by side as before.

"Shiraishi, didn't you say you were going to wear sneakers? We were planning to play basketball today too."

Taichi Oki looked at the slippers on Shiraishi Sawa's feet with a puzzled expression.

"I brought it. Didn't you notice I had an extra bag today? It's in the bag."

"It seems we'll have to defend against each other this afternoon. Yesterday I was unstoppable; there wasn't a single opponent I could beat."

Among a group of people whose average height is around 1.7 meters, no one can stop Taichi Oki, who is 1.9 meters tall, not to mention that he also has a muscular physique.

There's no skill involved, just pure power.

--

"Excuse me, Shiraishi, I need to take care of some other students' matters first. I'll have to go out for a bit. I'll have to ask you to deal with the latex paint bucket yourself again."

In the afternoon, Soga Kirei suddenly spoke to Shiraishi Sawa.

"Understood, President. You may go."

Shiraishi Sawa, humming along to the songs playing on Soga Kirei's phone, responded that today's playlist suited his taste better than yesterday's.

"Then let me turn on the music on your phone for you. I don't know how long it will take."

"Okay, thank you."

Shiraishi Sawa raised both hands, knelt on one knee on the table, and let half of his phone fall out of his pocket:

"The password is 12357."

"Shiraishi, I forgot my lock screen password. I always use fingerprint unlock, but you can borrow my phone to add one if you need it."

"No need, thank you, Chairman."

Soga Kirei opened the playlist that Shiraishi Sawa had created and then left the classroom.

--

Half an hour later, Shiraishi Sawa, who had finished cleaning the classroom, was carrying his things and preparing to open the classroom door.

The classroom door was suddenly flung open and crashed into Shiraishi Zexiu, but fortunately, Shiraishi Zexiu reacted quickly and took two steps back.
