Start a core cabin

The next day after watching the LIVE, everyone gathered at SPACE again, and this time Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsuya came back.

However...I still can't train today.

The reason is equally simple.

“Why should I be responsible?”

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko, Duanmu Huai was confused, while Toyokawa Shoko stared at Duanmu Huai with dissatisfaction.

"Because it was you who made Mu become like this, you have to take responsibility!"

"How refreshing! She has a problem, not me..."

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes and looked at Wakaba Mutsu who was hiding behind Toyokawa Shoko with a guitar in his arms.

"Then how do you want me to take responsibility? Marry her?"

"How is that possible!"

Facing Duanmu Huai's answer, Toyokawa Shoko was completely speechless. She glanced at Wakaba Mu beside her and bit her lip. Yesterday, Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mu had a frank one-on-one communication, and Toyokawa Shoko also knew where Wakaba Mu's worries came from.

That's her family.

Wakaba Mu's parents are both well-known artists, her mother is a movie star, and her father is a comedian. To outsiders, this family seems to be quite happy. In fact, in the show, her parents also praised Wakaba Mu, saying that she is cute and talented.

But... that's not family.

Toyokawa Shoko can understand Wakaba Mu's feelings to some extent. Although her own family is broken now, Toyokawa Shoko was also loved and cared for by her parents. She is her parents' beloved daughter.

But what about Ruoye Mu?

She seemed to have never felt the presence of family love from her parents. The evidence was that her parents wanted Ruo Yemu to call them by their names - or nicknames, instead of calling them dad and mom.

To outsiders, this seems to be a fairly open-minded educational style, but what about the children themselves?

Titles are the foundation of status, such as dad, mom, father, and mother. These titles are used to remind others and ourselves who is the parent and who is the child.

But for Ruoye Mu, she did not have the real sense of the existence of her parents. She felt more like she was living in the same home with familiar strangers - and this was indeed the case. On weekdays, her parents paid no attention to her at all and didn't even know what Ruoye Mu was doing.

This is why Ruo Yemu became silent and even unable to communicate with others. After all, if even her own parents did not communicate with her, then who could she communicate with?

However, these are Wakaba Mutsu's family matters, and Toyokawa Shoko does not intend to explain them to others.

"I hope...Mu can feel the love of family..."

"You are totally forcing me."

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"We are not her relatives, so how about this? I'll go catch a chicken, and we'll cut off the chicken's head and burn yellow paper to swear brotherhood? We don't ask to be born on the same day, month and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month and year."

"Ah, is it to imitate the Three Heroes of Peach Garden in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Kurokawa Akane was also very interested at this moment.

“This seems quite interesting.”

"It sounds too unlucky. Why do we have to die on the same day of the same month of the same year?"

However, Toyokawa Shoko was firmly opposed to this.

“It feels like a curse.”

"You really don't understand at all......"

Just when Duanmu Huai was about to argue with Toyokawa Shoko, Hachiman Kailing, who had been silent beside him, suddenly spoke.

"In that case, let's play house."

"play house?"

"That's right. If Ye Mu wants family love, then we are not her parents. From this perspective, playing house is a way to satisfy her wish. As long as we treat it as a game, there won't be so many complicated things."

As she spoke, Hachiman Kailing took out a board game.

"By the way, use this for fun."

So you were doing this just now, silently standing aside?

"I don't mind."

"Mu?"

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Wakaba Mutsu, who was silent for a moment and nodded.

"It seems... very interesting."

"That's decided then, let's get started."

Soon, everyone started drawing lots. Wakaba Mu drew the [gentle and obedient younger daughter], Toyokawa Shoko drew the [mature and honest older daughter], Kurokawa Akane drew the [wife who works hard for her husband], and Yawata Kairei drew the [husband who works diligently].

It feels like an inexplicably realistic setting.

By the way, Duanmu Huai’s role is……………

"President?"

Duanmu Huai looked at the note in his hand.

"What the hell is President?"

"Just play it freely. Anything is fine."

Since we have nothing to do, let's play together. Just treat it as a team building to enhance the band's relationship. Besides, SPACE house is so big that you can easily find three bedrooms and two living rooms to simulate a real family. I have to say, this house-playing looks quite realistic.

After defining the responsibilities, next comes the scene.

This time, the scene I drew was a family entertaining guests for dinner, a happy scene.

Although the game is just a game, just playing house, so you can just take it casually, but since we have so many things at hand, then everyone will play it in a more fancy way - to put it bluntly, it is a realistic version of playing house.

for example………

"Come on, come on, President, please drink it in one gulp."

Hachiman Kailing sat next to them, raised the soda bottle in her hand and poured the drink into Duanmu Huai's cup. In the open kitchen not far away, Kurokawa Akane, the "mother", was cooking with her two "daughters".

"Oh, it's really enviable that you can marry such a virtuous wife, Hachiman-kun."

Duanmu Huai picked up the cup, took a sip of soda, and smacked his lips.

"No, no, it's all thanks to your good cultivation, President."

"No, no, no, it's because you are willing to work hard, Hachiman-kun. Otherwise, I wouldn't have suggested that you take on the position of executive director..."

As an actor, Duanmu Huai can come up with similar lines naturally, and Yawata Hailing seems to have watched a lot of TV dramas on this subject. Of course, it looks very funny with her expressionless face.

On the contrary, Toyokawa Shoko was very unfamiliar and surprised about this situation.

"Is this what an ordinary family is like?"

Toyokawa Shoko, who was helping to cut vegetables, turned around and looked at the two people sitting in front of the coffee table, "clinking glasses and chatting", with a puzzled look on her face. She knew about this kind of "socializing", after all, the Toyokawa family had done it before. But those were all at formal dinners, and they would never entertain guests at dinner time at their own home like this.

“I don’t know either.”

Kurokawa Akane also gave a bitter smile.

"It's just that it's played out that way in many TV dramas. Maybe there really are families like this."

After that, everyone had a simple meal, and then the two daughters "returned to the room to do homework", and Hachiman Hailing, who played the "husband", said that he had finished drinking and had to go buy more wine, so he left the "room", leaving only Duanmu Huai and Kurokawa Akane. The latter came to Duanmu Huai and poured him a cup of tea.

"Please have some tea, President."

"Well, thank you. Oh, it's really a blessing for Hachiman-kun to marry such a virtuous wife like you."

Duanmu Huai took a sip of tea and sighed. Hearing Duanmu Huai's sigh, Kurokawa Akane smiled slightly.

"You're joking. I hope you can take good care of him."

"Well, speaking of which......"

Duanmu Huai put down the teacup and looked Heichuan Akane up and down.

"In fact, this executive position is difficult for Hachiman-kun. Although he has achievements, he is not popular. Some people in the company are also worried about whether he can do a good job as an executive."

"Yes, is that so?"

"That's right."

As Duanmu Huai spoke, he stretched out his hand and patted Heichuan Akane on the leg.

"But don't worry, ma'am. As long as I stick to my decision, your husband will definitely get the position."

"Well, thank you so much......!"

Feeling Duanmu Huai's touch, Heichuan Chiyin's body trembled, and then with a smile on his face, he moved away slightly without leaving a trace. However, Duanmu Huai didn't care at all, and sat directly next to Heichuan Chiyin and hugged her.

"Madam, you understand what I mean. Whether your husband can get this job depends on you..."

"I……………"

"You don't want your husband to be fired, do you? The best thing that guy did was to marry such a beautiful wife..."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai chuckled and reached out his hand, gently stroking Heikawa Akane's cheek and resting it on her chin.

Then at this moment……

"Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing?!"

With her face flushed, Toyokawa Shoko pushed the door open. Behind her, Wakaba Mutsu covered his eyes with his hands, only daring to look in this direction through his fingers.

"What are you doing...playing house?"

"No, no, no, there is no such thing as playing house! This is not suitable for children at all!"

“We are not children anymore.”

Duanmu Huai hugged Heichuan Akane, looking like a successful gangster.

"And you have to remember that you may encounter this kind of thing in the future. I will just take this as a precaution."

"Eh? Really?"

"Of course. Do you think the entertainment industry is a pure and innocent place? This damn place is dirtier than a toilet. If you don't have some skills, a little lamb like you will be swallowed up skin and bones. I tell you."

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"Miss Duanmu has a point."

At this time, Hachiman Kailing also came over and nodded.

"If it's just for fun, it doesn't matter, but if we want to enter the entertainment industry, similar situations are not uncommon for girls like us."

"But we are playing house now... Change one, change another, this won't work!"

So, under Toyokawa Shoko's full efforts to stop it, the first act of playing house was terminated and the game was restarted by drawing lots.

This time, Wakaba Mutsuki is the eldest daughter, Yawata Kailing is the youngest daughter, Kurokawa Akane becomes the father, Toyokawa Shoko becomes the mother, and as for Duanmu Huai…

"What the hell is a courier?"

Duanmu Huai held up the note and protested loudly.

"Isn't this just playing house? Why do you always give me the role of an outsider?"

"Humph, you are suitable for delivering packages, preferably for the rest of your life!"

Toyokawa Shoko's face was red, and she was obviously still resentful of the melodramatic romance drama that Duanmu Huai had just performed on the 8 o'clock drama.

Hey, little girl, you are young but you are so arrogant. Do you really think that I can’t punish you just by sending a courier?

Then, the second act of playing house begins.

"Well, I'm going out."

Kurokawa Akane walked to the door and nodded to Toyokawa Shoko, who was wearing an apron, and the latter also lowered her head.

“Have a nice journey.”

Is this what it feels like to be a wife?

Although Toyokawa Shoko had never been a wife, the sight of herself wearing an apron and a headscarf, dressed like a housewife, did make her feel a little dazed.

I don’t know what kind of person I will marry and start a family with in the future…

Looking at the two people dressed as "sisters" watching TV on the sofa, Toyokawa Shoko also started thinking subconsciously.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and at the same time, Duanmu Huai's voice emerged from outside the door.

"Hello, Cylinder Express."

"Please wait a moment."

Toyokawa Shoko interrupted his thoughts and walked to the door and opened it, then he saw Duanmu Huai standing there holding a cardboard box. Seeing Duanmu Huai, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but think of the house game just now, and glared at him fiercely.

But this time, he is just a courier and should not be able to do anything evil.

"This is your express delivery, please sign for it."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai handed over the cardboard box, and Toyokawa Shoko subconsciously wanted to take the cardboard box. But at this moment, Duanmu Huai suddenly let go, and then the cardboard box fell to the ground.

"Why?"

The sudden development stunned Toyokawa Shoko for a moment. Before she could come to her senses, she saw Duanmu Huai reaching out and grabbing Toyokawa Shoko's left hand, then pulling her into his arms with force.

"Wait, wait, what are you doing?"

In the face of Toyokawa Shoko's struggle, Duanmu Huai just stared at her, then raised Toyokawa Shoko's left ring finger and kissed it gently.

"You're not wearing a ring."

"Why?"

"I know very well that your husband is always working away from home, and you must be very lonely, ma'am."

"Why??"

"Madam, I have admired you for a long time...!"

"Wait, wait, the kids are still watching!"

"Isn't this more exciting? Let them know how they were born. What could be more exciting than seeing it with their own eyes?"

"Woo...ah...give me a little more!"

Turning around, looking at Wakaba Mutsu who was standing at the door and secretly peeking over here, Toyokawa Shoko slapped Duanmu Huai on the head in shame and anger.

"This isn't playing house at all!"
