Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Rumi sat on the sofa with her hands folded, looking at Hachiman hiding in the corner.

Yang Yan, who had been watching the fun, was curious: "What happened to my brother-in-law?"

"Every time my good-for-nothing dad gets injustice at work and can't stand it anymore, he'll hide in a corner and shut himself in, just like now." The usually well-educated and polite Liu Mei-chan seemed to have her personality awakened, and every word she wrote was tinged with blood.

Hachiman lowered his head pitifully and said, "Rumi-chan, you can't talk about your father like that."

"Then tell me what you did last night?!" Liu Mei learned the tone of a little gangster from somewhere, and she used it very skillfully.

"I'm hungry. How about we have breakfast first?" Hachiman changed the subject.

"Do it yourself." Liu Mei said.

Well, Hachiman continued to be autistic again.

"What is this? You're going to have so much fun. Haha." Yang Yan laughed out loud.

This went on for the entire morning. When the sun rose overhead, Rumi finally began to believe Hachiman's firm (actually, shameless) statement.

After all, as a daughter, she knew what kind of person her father was. It was hard to imagine that he would rashly attack his sister-in-law. Otherwise, he would not have been upset with her because of Ruka.

Oh, and that damn Rikka.

"According to what you said, it's actually not difficult to prove it." Liu Mei said.

These words finally gave Hachiman hope of survival. He immediately stood up from the corner and said, "How is it?"

"According to what you said, my mother's soul will appear every night after Miss Yangyan falls asleep. I just need to ask my mother myself and she will know." Liumei said.

"I never thought of that, Rumi-chan you're so smart." Hachiman praised sincerely.

Liu Mei twitched her lips: "But the fact that you slept with your sister-in-law for a night has not changed."

This kid is so annoying.

"Even if my sister is in front of you, you may not be able to tell whether I am pretending or my real sister."

After all, Yukino passed away shortly after Rumi was born, and all of Rumi's memories of her mother were through Hachiman's description, so she became more and more like the person described by Hachiman.

"Okay, then we'll have to wait until tonight." Hachiman said helplessly.

However, Yang Yan covered her mouth and said playfully: "Come to think of it, when my brother-in-law and sister reunited yesterday, did they do anything to my body?"

For a moment, the breathing of the two people in the room stopped.

Yang Yan showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said, "No wonder my shoulders felt so sore when I got up this morning. Oh..."

"That's because you got a stiff neck from sleeping," Hachiman complained.

"So, aren't you going to answer the question Miss Yangyan asked, Dad?" Rumi looked at Hachiman and said.

"Well...I kissed Kagero's forehead." Hachiman said.

"Oh, that's annoying. I only let my family kiss my forehead." Yangyan put on a shy look and held her face with her hands.

"And the cheeks," Hachiman continued.

"Why is it that the more you kiss, the lower you get." Yang Yan said.

Rumi's heart twitched.

"And... the back of the hand." Hachiman said finally.

Surprisingly, it's okay, Liu Mei thought to herself, although it can be considered intimate, the content is still healthy. If it is just used to express intimacy, it is still within the level that can be broadcast on TV.

"Tsk, is that all? I put such an attractive body in front of you for you to fuck, and you just kissed the back of my hand? Brother, you haven't been used for too long and have degenerated, have you?"

Fuck, you two are really sisters. How come you have the same way of thinking?!

If Yukino hadn't told him a lot of intimate things from the past last night, he would have thought that Yangyan was pretending.

Liu Mei paused for a moment and said calmly, "I'll make lunch."

Eh, does that mean I forgive him? Hachiman thought.

After seeing Liu Mei leave, Yang Yan gently poked Hachiman's waist and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, it's fine if you are bullied by your sister, but even your daughter can bully you. You are so useless."

Hachiman was angry and clenched his fists and said, "Am I afraid? I respect them."

Then Yang Yan smiled coquettishly.

Can we still be friends if we see through each other but don't say it out loud, bro?

"I say, you don't seem to care about what happens to you. Didn't you come to me because of Yukino's guidance?" Hachiman asked.

Yang Yan picked up the pillow on the sofa, chuckled and said, "Generally speaking, I am a bit careless. I will choose to skip those things that cannot be solved. My sister is possessed by me, I can't find an exorcist to kill my sister, and... "

The girl leaned gently into his ear and whispered, "Besides, if my sister's soul lives in me, you, my brother-in-law, can't bear to see me marry someone else, right?"

"You..." Hachiman couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Yang Yan smiled and said: "In the past, just thinking about you was so uncomfortable. If every night, when I was doing that with other men, my sister suddenly woke up..."

"Yangyan-chan, I will never let you get married!" Hachiman said loudly.

"What did you say?!" Liu Mei in the kitchen shouted loudly while holding a knife.

"I, I didn't mean that. Damn it, you witch..." Hachiman shouted loudly.

"Hahahaha, brother-in-law, you are really fun." Yangyan said happily, hugging Hachiman's arm, as if he was hugging a big toy.

"It's quite fun. You're almost killing me." Hachiman couldn't help but say.

Yang Yan glanced at Rumi who went back to cooking, and said softly to Hachiman: "Besides, there is something I forgot to tell my brother-in-law."

"What?" Hachiman asked.

"The main reason I ran away from my marriage was not because the other party was not good, but because I already had someone I liked..."

Yangyan gently raised his head and looked at the girl's cherry lips. Hachiman's heart beat faster.

"I like my brother-in-law. If I have to say when I started to like you, it was at my sister's funeral. When you sat alone in front of my sister's tablet for more than ten hours without moving, I thought at that time, I can't take it anymore. I have completely and hopelessly fallen in love with you."

"At that time, I was still a junior high school student. Do you think my brother-in-law committed a serious sin?"

Play within a play: Love is war

Hachiman was stunned for a while by Yangyan's confession. He really didn't expect such an outcome.

"But what I like is the sister who lives in your body." Hachiman said.

"Yeah, I know. That's what I like, too. I like my sister's brother-in-law." Yang Yan said with a smile.

"But, but, I used your body to have a secret meeting with Yukino at night, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable if that happened?" Hachiman asked impatiently.

"Didn't I say that I would never dwell on things that cannot be solved? Can I make my sister disappear? No. Can I use my body to make my brother-in-law happy? Yes, that is enough. Moreover, even if my brother-in-law cannot admit it, you were using my body when you were being affectionate with my sister. Do you really not miss me at all? This is enough for me." Yang Yan said with a smile.

Hachiman opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. Yangyan's love was too real and heavy, and it came too suddenly.

Yukino lives in her body. Can Hachiman really separate the soul and the body completely?

Seeing Hachiman showing a slightly painful expression, Yangyan gently hooked his neck and said, "Brother-in-law, don't think too much. If you are intimate with your sister at night, you can do anything. I allow it. I love you, brother-in-law."

Compared to Hachiman who was entangled in the moral, emotional, soul and physical struggles, Kagero was very open-minded, and she was particularly happy that he confessed his feelings for many years.

Let the man worry about the rest. Kagero left Hachiman and went to the bathroom to fix her makeup. When she came out, she saw Rumi standing next to her.

"What's wrong?" Yang Yan asked with a smile.

"The one your dad likes right now is a high school girl named Takarada Rikka, who is my classmate," Liu Mei reminded.

Yang Yan looked at Liu Mei with some amusement: "So what?"

"So what..." Liu Mei didn't expect her to ask like that.

"Love is war... I don't even mind that sister Yukino will always occupy the most important position in my brother-in-law's heart. Do you think I will mind those young girls? They are just passers-by. Only people of your age will not be able to see through such things." Yang Yan said with a slightly condescending tone.

Liu Mei couldn't help but frown.

"Besides, I am sure to win. As long as I have this trump card, no one can take my brother-in-law away from me. I mean, anyone..." Yang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, like the pupils of a snake.

Liu Mei clenched her fists tightly and said in a cold voice: "Don't make a mistake, as long as I am still Dad's daughter, as long as I don't agree, even if you are Mom's sister, even if Mom's soul resides in you, you can't be with Dad, because I don't agree."

"Hahaha, who can say for sure about this kind of thing?" Yang Yan said lightly, as if he was not afraid of this question at all.

The brief exchange between the two ended there, and Rumi continued to cook while Yangyan continued to tease her brother-in-law, which was quite entertaining.

...........................

The night was seductive. After dinner today, the Hikigaya family seemed to have something on their minds. They took a bath early, as if waiting for bedtime.

The three people in pajamas sat on the sofa. Hachiman couldn't help but say, "Hey, Yangyan-chan, you haven't slept yet, aren't you sleepy now?"

"Brother-in-law, what you mean is that you don't want to see me before even twelve hours have passed, and instead want to have a tryst with my sister?" the girl said with some malice.

"I, I didn't mean that." Hachiman said quickly. He really couldn't bear to hurt a girl who had liked him for so many years, especially since Yukino's soul was living in her body.

"As expected, my brother-in-law still wants to see me. That's great. I'm so happy." Yang Yan said with a smile. What a damn charming language.

It seems that the girl is an expert at this.

"Dad just wants to prove to me as soon as possible that it is really mom's soul that resides in your body. Well, although I don't believe it until now, it's too ridiculous." Liu Mei leaned against the side with an unhappy look on her face, holding her cheek, and said in a bored manner.

"But sleeping is something we can't completely control. There's a saying that the more you want to talk, the harder it is to fall asleep." Yang Yan said with a pout.

Hachiman nodded. Actually, what the girl said made sense. Especially for a corporate slave like him, he was extremely familiar with insomnia. If he could sleep whenever he wanted, then the number of sudden deaths caused by working 996 would be reduced by at least half.

"Just take a few sleeping pills and you'll be fine." Liu Mei looked at Yang Yan as if he were a rabbit on a test bench.

"Idiot, I took sleeping pills and couldn't wake up. What's the point if my sister couldn't get out either, idiot, idiot." Yang Yan cursed several times.

It seems to make sense. This kind of drug forces you to sleep, and I'm afraid even the body's functions will be dormant. I don't know what effect it will have on Yukino, so it's better not to try it.

"Then how can I make you fall asleep?" asked Hachiman.

"Rumi-chan, take off your pajamas and dance for me, then I'll probably fall asleep," Yangyan said with obvious malice.

"It's up to you to sleep or not." Liu Mei didn't bother to pay attention to her.

For her, she didn't believe the woman's lies at all. Even if it was true that her mother really came back, would it really be a good thing for her?

Compared to her mother whom she has never met, her father who is by her side is more important. If her mother's appearance will make her father leave, then her choice...

"Can't there be other conditions?" Hachiman took over the topic. If Rumi and Kagerou continued to bicker, Kagerou would be even more unable to sleep.

"Is that so? If my brother-in-law says "I love you" a hundred times in my ear, I will probably fall asleep." Yang Yan said with a giggle.

Damn, where is my knife? Liumei’s hands are starting to itch.

Hachiman looked at his daughter, then at his sister-in-law, weighed the pros and cons, and decided that his life was more important: "This is not a good idea. You can't just talk about this kind of thing."

Liumei consciously walked to Hachiman and sat down, leaning on his shoulder without saying a word. If Yangyan continued to talk nonsense, he might really be killed on the spot.

"Tsk, so boring. How about this? I'm going to lie on my brother-in-law's thighs and let him sing a lullaby for me." Yang Yan said.

Hachiman first asked his leader, but Rumi didn't say anything, so he nodded. Yangyan giggled and rested her head on his thighs.

But before he sang the lullaby, Yang Yan suddenly looked up at Liu Mei and said, "I hope you won't regret it."

Liumei didn't understand what was going on and shook her head gently. Yangyan fell into a deep sleep amidst Hachiman's not-so-pleasant lullaby.

Then, he opened his eyes.

Play within a play: Hikiguchi Rumi

When Yangyan opened her eyes again, Hachiman's heart twitched violently, but the girl smiled and said, "Sorry~ It's still me, brother-in-law."

Then the girl hugged Hachiman and said, "Don't let me see your disappointed expression, or I'll be sad."

The blood pressure of the American student who was playing with her phone nearby began to rise: "I'm next to you, thank you."

But the girl hugging Hachiman seemed to enjoy such moments and would provoke Hachiman from time to time.

"Don't think too much. I am only grateful to you. How could I be angry with you?" Hachiman shook his head and said.

"Just gratitude?" Her hair gently touched the tip of Hachiman's nose, making him feel a little itchy.

Please, don't tease me in front of my daughter, okay? And these words gave him a sense of déjà vu, as if he had traveled through time and space to a martial arts drama.

"Then I'll go to sleep." The girl said with a soft laugh.

However, Yangyan found that he really had insomnia and couldn't fall asleep until about four in the morning. Hachiman was about to give up and was dozing off when he heard a soft voice.

"Good evening, Hachiman-kun."

"Well, it's almost dawn though." Hachiman couldn't help but say, and the two of them laughed. That was a completely different temperament and voice from Yangyan, allowing him to recognize it in an instant.

"Is it Yangyan who is being naughty? Does he need someone to comfort him?" Yukino's tone was doting.
