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

"See? You're so happy to hear this now. If you're ever unhappy in the future, just listen to me scolding myself, and you'll be happy."

Once she entered Chiyo's world, she was so engrossed in clicking on "Unhappy" while listening to Shiraishi Sawa's "I'm an Idiot".

"There are also those that say press twice and press three times, don't just listen to that." Shiraishi Sawa looked at Ichiyo Chiyo, who was already lying on the bed with a smile, with a bit of helplessness.

The magnificent outline still stands tall, but the gorgeous and luxurious long dress has some wrinkles.

"Don't be upset! If anyone makes you unhappy, tell Baby Dog, and Baby Dog will bite them to death! Leave it to me!" "If you're really unhappy, you might as well tell me. The White Stone Treasure Box can only store three sentences in total, which isn't enough. Remember, I'm here."

Chiyo listened attentively to the two sentences, her smile widening.

"These two lines are also quite good, but..." Once Chiyo entered, she started pressing the button only once again, "The first one still makes me the happiest!"

"Whatever makes you happy." Shiraishi Zexiu smiled helplessly and indulgently. "How is this birthday present? Not bad, right?"

"Very good!" Chiyo took the iron box from the bag, put the [White Stone Treasure Box] inside, and placed it on the soft bed.

"By the time I finished listening, it was almost 7:10. It was about to start over there, and as the main character, I had to make my appearance. Goodbye, baby dog."

The three songs were recorded in their entirety. Chiyo insisted that I listen to all of them without skipping any, so it took quite a while.

Chiyo straightened her clothes, which had gotten a little messy when she was lying on the bed laughing.

"Shiraishi-kun, please smooth out the wrinkles on my back." Chiyo Ichii stood in front of Shiraishi Sawa, with her back to him.

"understood."

Shiraishi Sawa carefully smoothed and tidied the girl's back, and as he smoothed it out, he could feel the smoothness and beauty of the girl's skin.

"As expected of the clothes I picked out, combined with your barely-praiseworthy good looks, Shiraishi-kun, it's a perfect match."

"I think my good looks played a big part in it; it's not just a matter of 'reluctantly' doing it."

"If I say so, then it is."

"I'm making an exception and acknowledging you today."

Who can blame them when it's their birthday today?

Shiraishi Sawa followed Ichiyo down the elevator—Ichiyo was wearing high heels and a long skirt, making it inconvenient for her to walk up the stairs.

Along the way, Chiyo occasionally encountered a few elders or peers she knew, and they greeted each other with smiles.

However, most people will likely take a more curious look at the handsome young man walking next to Chiyo.

Shiraishi Sawa was not intimidated. He walked with his back straight and natural, like a dancer on stage, as if he was born to be there.

It turns out that the two villas are only separated by a small garden, with a small path running through the middle. Shiraishi Zexiu hadn't noticed this place at all when he came last time.

Black-clad bodyguards are everywhere, protecting everything.

“Fox,” Shiraishi Zexiu said with some curiosity, “You’re just having a birthday party, why such a big fuss? So many heavily armed bodyguards.”

Chiyo sighed and explained:

"There's nothing we can do. It's not that my birthday party was extravagant, but rather that the guests were extravagant. No one would actually attack this place just to ruin my birthday party."

To say that tonight was simply a birthday party wouldn't be accurate; in some ways, it was also a gathering of businessmen and politicians.

I have a large network of connections since I started living here. Everyone gathers together on my birthday to catch up and talk about business plans.

These people are very important, so they need so many bodyguards to protect them.

"This..." Shiraishi Sawa Hide really didn't expect it to be like this, and suddenly felt that the essence of the birthday had changed.

“It’s normal. It’s not just me; my father and mother also have birthday parties like this. So our family occasionally has a small-scale birthday celebration on everyone’s lunar birthday, a birthday celebration without any extraneous elements.”

Chiyo smiled and said to Shiraishi Sawa:

"So, their gifts are really boring, nothing but luxury goods, they're meaningless, it's the same every year."

However, I really love your gift this year!

"It would be my great honor."

Shiraishi Sawa gave a affected gentlemanly bow and exchanged a smile with the girl.

Chapter 169 There's One More thing About Tomorrow (Bonus Chapter for 0 Yin Ming 0 Rewards)

The ballroom was very large, with a huge chandelier hanging high in the center, emitting a bright yellow light.

As Chiyo Ichiri described, people in the ballroom were clinking glasses, smiling, chatting in twos and threes, and occasionally letting out clear laughter.

On the contrary, the young people of the same generation as Ichiyo were a minority in this dance hall, and they were chatting in groups to pass the time.

The tables were large, and there were more than one table; they were everywhere in the ballroom, displaying a dazzling array of food and drinks.

The two people, who were favored by the Creator, appeared side by side at the entrance of the ballroom, immediately attracting the attention of everyone inside.

Perfectly created by nature.

Although the purpose of attending this banquet was not to actually celebrate anyone's birthday, the guests would at least find out the details beforehand to avoid any awkward situations.

So everyone immediately recognized the burgundy-clad girl as the nominal hostess of the banquet, and they all clapped softly.

Standing on the platform directly in front of the ballroom were the Ichiri couple. At this moment, Ichiri Nao was completely different from her usual quirky self. Instead, she walked quietly and obediently beside Ichiri Yumi, just like a traditional Japanese wife, with a proper smile on her face. She even lagged behind a little, highlighting Ichiri Yumi's 'domestic throne'.

Upon discovering that Chiyo had finally arrived, Yumi gestured for her to come over. Nao greeted Hideya Shiraishizawa, but Yumi clearly did not 'see' him.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll go upstairs and say a few nonsense words and then come back."

Chiyo nodded to her father. When there were outsiders present, both mother and daughter were very respectful to Yuu.

Shiraishi Sawa naturally had no objections, nor did he intend to communicate with anyone to elevate his own status. He wasn't truly from a high-class background, so there was no need for him to put on a show.

The food displayed on the side table was more eye-catching.

"Thank you all so much for coming to my birthday party, I'm truly honored..."

Chiyo Ichiriki, who had already walked onto the stage, began to speak into the microphone, while Hideki Shiraishi listened quietly, eating a piece of foie gras.

Foie gras isn't actually that tasty.

However, it's clear that you can't just be alone in this kind of situation, especially for someone like Shiraishi Sawa, who stands out in a crowd.

"Hello, may I ask your name? My name is Koizumi Hazuki."

A girl who looked to be about the same age as him walked up to Shiraishi Sawa, picked up a few pieces of fruit and put them on the tray in her hand. She ate them in small bites while asking a question.

"Hello, Shiraishi Sawa Hide."

Shiraishi Sawah nodded slightly to the girl.

Hazuki Koizumi thought it over carefully, but couldn't find any prominent families in Tokyo with the surname Shiraishi. However, that didn't matter. For a young girl, being able to talk to such a boy was enough to make her happy.

Even wealthy families cannot escape this custom.

"Are Shiraishi-kun and Chiyo-san very close?" Koizumi Hazuki planned to start the conversation by discussing the common ground they had at the banquet.

"They have a good friendship."

"Is that so? Then I've only exchanged a few words with Ms. Chiyo. May I ask how you met her, Mr. Shiraishi? It's a bit abrupt, but you don't have to tell me if it's inconvenient."

The question was asked very politely, and the person proactively offered a way to refuse.

However, there's nothing wrong with talking about it, and Shiraishi Sawa briefly explained it.

"So Chiyo-san goes to experience life too..." Koizumi Hazuki nodded repeatedly. "But, so Shiraishi-kun, you're also going to experience life?"

"No, I'm just an ordinary person. This is the first time in my life I've ever attended a banquet of this scale." Although he said something that wasn't particularly ambitious, Shiraishi Sawah wore a natural smile and was full of confidence.

The Rules of the Noble Young Master.

"Huh~" Koizumi Hazuki gently covered her mouth. "Shiraishi-kun, your aura is hard for me to believe. I thought you were from a large family outside of Tokyo."

There was no disdain in his expression, just genuine surprise. Those superior people who only know how to look down on others are a minority in most families with a cultured upbringing.

"I've barely adapted," Shiraishi Zexiu nodded with a smile.

Actually, given Shiraishi Sawa's personality, he wanted to say, "It's all an act; my legs are actually shaking right now," to lighten the mood, but Shiraishi Sawa didn't want to continue the conversation.

Although the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intent, it wasn't as visually appealing or interesting as Ichiyo, especially since a system scan revealed that the mission couldn't be triggered.

What's more, chatting with her significantly slowed down my eating speed!

Fortunately, Chiyo finally finished her 'few' words and stepped down from the stage, walking gracefully toward me.

The high heels clicked on the ballroom floor, making a pleasant 'tap-tap' sound.

Hazuki Koizumi noticed this too, and borrowed paper and pen from a passing waiter. She wrote down the phone number and handed it to Hideki Shiraishi.

After exchanging nods with Chiyo Ichiriki to say hello, they returned to their own circle.

"You're really charming. I only talked for a few minutes and I got Koizumi Hazuki's contact information. If I hadn't come down, I guess all the girls here would have come to visit you."

"Don't forget, it's because you picked out the clothes well; my looks only contributed a little," Shiraishi Sawa Hide casually fiddled with the paper. "Koizumi Hazuki said she only spoke a few words to you, yet you remember her name."

“It’s not just her. I know the names and families of all my peers in this dance hall. This is something I must memorize and remember. It has nothing to do with whether I know them or not.”

"Understood, Miss's exclusive course."

"If you ever want to go into politics, Mr. Shiraishi, you should try to curry favor with them. You know about the five major political families in Japan, right?"

"Of course, I have all-knowing knowledge. The Koizumi family, the Hatoyama family, the Abe family, the Aso family, and the Fukuda family are known as the 'Five Great Families' of Japanese politics. So, is Koizumi Hazuki a member of the Koizumi family?"

“Bingo! And everyone’s here today. The Aso family is over there, the Fukuda family is over there…” Chiyo Ichigo pointed out the locations of the five major families one by one.

"Both Koizumi and Aso's families are sending girls, baby dog, are you sure you don't want to seize this opportunity?"

"No, I'm going to become a puppet prime minister supported by the Ichiru family in the future. I can't have too many karmic entanglements with them." Because he was holding a tray in one hand, Shiraishi Zexiu could only perform a Buddhist bow with one hand.

Chiyo covered her mouth and chuckled, "On behalf of the Ichiryu family, I guarantee I'll turn you into a puppet from now on."

The ballroom door was pushed open again, and another beautiful girl entered. However, this girl, Shiraishi Sawa, was someone they recognized: Kuramochi Sakura.

"Oh right!" Chiyo seemed to only realize something at this moment, "Tomorrow is Fuyu... Sakura's birthday, Shiraishi-kun, have you prepared a gift for her?"

"..."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there won't be any."
