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

With a forceful swing of his arms, Shiraishi Hideki only managed to jump a few dozen centimeters, his heels still dangling on the edge of the ice. He patted his chest in shock, muttering, "That was close, that was close."

Then, with a proud and arrogant expression, she shouted to Ichiyo, who was not far away and pretending not to recognize her:

"I did it!"

"Come back quickly, don't embarrass yourself!" This was the response I received, which was not what I expected.

"Praise me."

"return!"

--

"That fox is really cunning. I did it, but it didn't praise me. I'm angry, I'm angry." Shiraishi Zexiu crossed his arms, shook his head and sighed as he walked into Pengtian Elementary School.

"I'm sorry~ You're really amazing." Chiyo, who was walking behind, looked curiously at the scenery she had only seen on her phone and said perfunctorily.

"Still being so perfunctory? You can't appease me anymore."

"What if I kiss you?" Chiyo asked with a smile, clicking her tongue.

“I’ll pretend none of what just happened. It’s only natural that a fox is cunning,” Shiraishi Zexiu said immediately, turning his head.

"That's a good idea, but we'll see." Chiyo Ichigo pressed on Shiraishi Sawa's shoulder and pushed him forward.

"Besides, does that mean it's okay?"

"We'll see."

"Is that right?"

There's been no response again. What a heartless woman.

The area inside Pengtian Elementary School was much more lively now than when Shiraishi Sawa had left.

The children were playing freely in the courtyard, and the fresh snow from last night had all been collected and formed into little snowmen.

Soga Kirei and Takanashi Yuuko did not participate; instead, they stood under the eaves and watched them.

Noticing the two people who came in, they reached out to greet Ichiyo.

“Go on, I’ll give you half of my child later, so I can lighten my burden.”

"You have someone else's child, yet you expect me to raise it?" Chiyo didn't look at Shiraishi Sawa, but at Soga Kirei, sensing the hostility in her eyes, yet comfortably revealing a provocative smile.

"They are other people's children, and we are asked to raise them together. We should do good deeds and accumulate merit."

"I'm even less interested now."

"Oh~" The two walked halfway when they suddenly heard someone take a deep breath beside them.

Kogane held a clump of snow in one hand and covered her lower teeth with the other, looking at Ichiyo in surprise.

“One of my children…” Shiraishi Sawa was about to introduce.

"The biggest villain in Tokyo! The bad guy in the story!" Kosuke Sanda peeked out from behind the snowman next to her, her round head cautiously staring at Ichiyo.

"Villain? Bad guy? Is that how your child sees me? And you still want me to raise him with you."

A dangerous gaze began to burn from behind. Chiyo got very close, her mouth almost touching Shiraishi Sawa's ear.

It was so ambiguous, it's a pity we didn't actually touch. But! That hand on my soft waist was really pinching me, and the pain it sent was anything but ambiguous!

Now it was Shiraishi Zexiu's turn to gasp. He frantically gave Xiao Guansha a meaningful look: 'What did your older brother tell you back then!?'

"I'm sorry!" Kosuke understood. He quickly ran out, walked to Ichiyo, bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, and then looked up sincerely, saying:

"I made a mistake. I forgot that you, Third Sister-in-law, have already been won over by Brother Zexiu. I'm sorry!"

Since the eldest brother said she's also his sister-in-law, then after "elder" and "second" comes "third"! Xiao Guansha praised herself for her cleverness.

It's over, it's over. — This is what Guan Sha's older brother is thinking right now.

"Subdued? Third sister-in-law?" Chiyo tilted her head forward, turning her face to look at Shiraishi Sawa, whose face was pale, her soft hair hanging down.

Chiyo leaned against Shiraishi Sawa's back with peace of mind; if he moved at this moment, she would definitely fall.

What's more terrifying than twisting your waist with one hand is twisting it with both hands, and with both hands exerting great force.

"Don't twist it yet, let me make up a reason." Shiraishi Zexiu said haltingly, his face contorted with rage.

Chiyo released her grip, walked to Kosaki, bent down slightly, and asked gently:

"So where are your brother Zexiu's other sisters-in-law?"

"That's my eldest sister-in-law, and that's my second sister-in-law," Xiao Guansha answered every question, pointing to the two girls in the distance.

Laughter, even more melodious than the song of a nightingale, came from over there.

Her face was crystal clear, her pink lips were slightly parted, her big eyes were curved into crescents, and her laughter was soft but clear.

Her temperament became increasingly refined and ethereal, and the sunlight shone on Suwo Wulian, making her sparkle.

She could hardly hide her smugness at that moment, and she greeted Ichiyo again—this time as her sister-in-law.

Takanashi Yuuko turned her face slightly away, her slender shoulders trembling.

Chiyo smiled and nodded, then stood up and walked to Shiraishi Sawa's side.

Winter in Pengtian Village is really cold. Shiraishi Zexiu felt the biting cold and thought he would have to wear an extra cotton-padded coat when he got back, or at least put two metal plates on his waist.

"Is there anything you want to say before you die?"

"There are still some misunderstandings here," Shiraishi Zexiu said earnestly, maintaining a calm expression.

"Oh?"

"Maybe, I mean maybe, I don't actually know this child. Is he trying to harm me and sow discord between us? ...Ouch! Ouch! Twist it gently!"

I really didn't teach you that! You owe me a kiss, how about we make it up?

Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm some kind of mad dog.

......."

Unfortunately, making threats has virtually no effect.

Looking at her older brother's expression and the anger in his eyes, Xiao Guansha wondered if she had messed up. After taking a few steps back and silently mourning in her heart, she decided to run back to the classroom to hide, which was quite disloyal of her.

As expected of the villain, he's not so easy to defeat. Brother Zexiu is still working hard, but I haven't become a hero yet, so I'd better leave first!

--

Shiraishi Zexiu stood under the eaves, rubbing the soft flesh on both sides of his waist, looking haggard. Among the three girls beside him, one looked innocent, and two were suppressing their laughter.

Even Takanashi Yuko, who is usually the most considerate person, showed no sign of pity at this moment!

This broke Shiraishi Zexiu's heart!

"Are you happy?" Sensing the faint smile, Ichiyo asked Soga Kirei.

"is acceptable."

"Do you know why I came today?" Chiyo wasn't angry at all; her outbursts were usually only directed at Shiraishi Sawa. She said with a faint smile on her pretty face.

"I'm not interested." Suga Wulian's expression quickly faded.

"But I want to say that I came because Shiraishi wanted me to come, not because I volunteered."

While still trying to relieve his pain, Shiraishi Sawa found himself once again the focus of the three's attention.

"Where is Ms. Sora? I haven't seen her." Shiraishi Sawa asked.

Soga Kirei turned her head away, and it was Takanashi Yuuko who answered.

"Ms. Mimura has gone to prepare the things she needs for the next lesson. Let's stay here and look at the children."

"You're working so hard, so diligently. Which classroom are you in? I'll go see if there's anything I can do to help."

"They went up to the second floor, but I don't know exactly where."

"I'll go check it out right now." Shiraishi Zexiu fled the battlefield.

However, halfway there, he turned around and pointed at the three girls, a slight smile on his face: "You three, don't fight. If I catch you, you'll get a spanking."

Before the snowball hit him, Shiraishi Sawah ran to the stairwell and then turned around and made a face.

Chiyo and Soga Kirei exchanged a glance, put down the snowballs they were holding, turned their heads away, and laughed to themselves.

--

At 6 p.m., the last child had been picked up by their parents, and the four of them finished their task for the day and went home together.

As he crossed the stream, Shiraishi Sawa gave Ichiyo a resentful look—she owed him something, but all he got in return was a glare.

But this damn woman, even her eye rolls are so beautiful.

She had only glanced at it a couple of times when Suga Muren mercilessly poked her aching lower back.

So Shiraishi Sawah stood between the three of them, staring straight ahead at the road, unsure of what to do.

Was I asking for trouble by calling Ichiyo over?

At this moment, Shiraishi Sawa missed Kuramochi Sakura terribly. With her there, he wouldn't have to worry about such problems. He wished she were here too.

--

At the dinner table, Shiraishikawa looked at Shiraishizawa with a strange expression.

He had only been out working for one day, and now there was another girl in his house, a beautiful young woman with a rare aristocratic air.

If I work another day tomorrow, will this small dining table be too small to hold everything?

“Auntie, if you’re worried that Zexiu’s grades will continue to decline next semester, you can rest assured and leave them to me. I will tutor her,” Suwo Wulian said.

"Of course it would be great," Shiraishi Kanae nodded.

"Actually, learning this kind of thing isn't particularly useful. I think Zexiu should take some time to read books on business management instead."

Our company happens to have a position with a monthly salary of around one million yen. As long as Zexiu has the relevant knowledge, he can give it a try; it doesn't matter if he's still in high school.

"I entered Chiyo" he said casually.

"Huh? This...is it that amazing?" Shiraishi Kanae was genuinely stunned. The concept of a million yen, especially as a monthly salary, was still incredibly exaggerated and shocking to her.

“But look at Zexiu, that kid has always been opinionated, I can’t argue with him,” Shiraishi Kanae said afterward.

"If you don't control your own destiny and rely on connections to get a job, your future will be controlled by others," Soga Kirei added.
