Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Yumiko smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, he will take me back anyway."

This smile was obviously directed at her. Compared to Arai's boyfriend accompanying her to work in the morning, Yumiko's boyfriend now drove over to take her home for dinner, which was obviously a higher level.

My goodness, this woman is really vengeful.

Arai originally thought that the matter was settled, but it turned out to be far from it.

After get off work, everyone in the news department went to the pub to have a drink and relax as usual, and everyone was drinking happily.

Yumiko said in a sweet voice, "I'm sorry, my boyfriend came to pick me up. He was worried that I drank too much."

"I say, Yumiko, your boyfriend is too much of a filial son, isn't he?" a female colleague joked.

But Youmiko showed a look of disgust: "Who said that? When I first found him, I thought he was quite straightforward, but when we really got together, I found that he was too clingy. Oh, I'll just have to make do with him for now."

This blatantly boastful tone caused everyone to boo for a while, and then they left the izakaya with Hachiman's greeting.

Then, Arai really wanted to cry, it was so damn unfair.

From now on, the Neon Dictionary should have a new word called Miura Yumiko, which means a creature with a strong desire for revenge.

Chapter 22: Meeting the Parents (Male)

After Hachiman picked up Yumiko from the pub, the two did not go home, but drove directly to the top of Fort Hill a few kilometers away to watch the bright lights and the twinkling stars.

Youmeizi, who was a little drunk, suddenly shouted towards the mountainside, towards the city in the night.

"Are you happy about spending 13 million to install a beeper?" Hachiman asked with a smile.

Yumiko waved her clenched fist and shouted drunkenly, "Great."

Especially when she saw Misaki Arai almost crying after being hit by her again and again, the frustration she had been feeling during this period was almost released.

Then she leaned her head on Hachiman's shoulder and looked at the night sky: "Thank you for cooperating with me today."

Hachiman put his hand over and stroked her hair. Even with the smell of alcohol, she still smelled so good.

"It's not really acting. Although it's too frequent at noon, it doesn't take much time to pick you up from get off work every morning and evening."

In other words, his concept of time is different from that of most people. Most people are unwilling to spend time driving unless it is for their job or it is convenient for them to do so. But he is a little different. Driving to different places itself is a great pleasure for him.

Youmiko was a little moved, panting slightly and said, "I say, will you look down on my behavior?"

Yumiko meant that a large amount of money was spent just to make someone lose face, and she felt that Hachiman would not really appreciate this kind of excessive material comparison.

Hachiman thought for a moment and said, "Although I'm not really cold, but this is Yumiko, isn't it?"

Life must have intense colors to suit his graceful daughter, the Queen.

And although he lives a more Buddhist life now, he is not so incomprehensible as to understand this emotion.

"And you, who do you think I am? I used to live a more vengeful and colorful life than you." Hachiman said.

Yumiko originally wanted to say, "You must be joking, looking at the way you're lying down," but when she recalled Hachiman's razor-sharp mockery on the beach that day, she felt a little bit that way.

Was he like this before?

Yumiko said with hazy eyes: "Well, Hikigaya, I found that I don't understand you at all, but you already know everything about me. I think this is very unfair."

Every time when Yumiko thought she knew him well enough, he would always show her a new side of himself.

His past was still blank to Yumiko.

"Don't you already know all the parts of my body well enough?" Hachiman said, touching her cheek.

Well, the mountaineering performance of off-road vehicles is still very good.

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

Yumiko lay limply in the back seat, her eyes and eyebrows looking drunk, and she was held in Hachiman's arms, unwilling to move.

"Didn't you just say that it's unfair that you don't know me well enough?" Hachiman asked.

Yumiko just hummed passively. Her mind was still in a daze, so basically, everything Hachiman said just passed by her ears.

"Then let's go to my house now." Hachiman said.

Yumiko hummed out of habit, but after a few seconds, her nerve reflex finally kicked in and she jumped up.

"Now, are we going to your house in this state?" Youmiko asked back.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Hachiman threw the question back.

Yumiko kept hitting his shoulders with her fists: "Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you know what we just did? You want me to come to your house now? And what about the gifts? Where can I buy gifts at this time? I don't even know what your parents like..."

Yumiko said a lot of things.

"Hey, it's okay for this kind of thing." Hachiman said nonchalantly.

Youyouko rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're talking nonsense. As a son, you should be casual. How can I be casual when I come to your house for the first time?"

"But I just have to be casual when I come to your house." Hachiman said empathetically.

"Then thank you so much." Yumiko said unhappily, knowing that he was just like that.

Hachiman glanced at her and said, "Oh, then don't go. Let's go home and have some sleep."

Youmeizi said angrily, "Don't come here, PUA, if I don't go this time, I don't know how long I will have to wait for you to take me next time."

She didn't know where the Hikigaya family was.

Hachiman was amused: "So what do you want?"

Yumiko checked the time and said, "You still have time to go home, take a shower and change clothes, so I'll see what I can buy at the supermarket for what your parents like."

Hachiman helped Yumiko up and returned to the driver's seat. He said, "I'm serious. Just anything will do. Otherwise, my dad likes to drink. If you buy a bottle of wine from him, you'll get full marks. But my mom hates it most when someone gives wine to my dad. If you want to give it to him, your relationship with your mother-in-law will go straight to the freezing point. You don't have to worry about my sister. She's someone who's suppressed by me. So if you really want to buy something, just buy some apples. They're both healthy and delicious. We're very pragmatic."

Yumiko didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are such a filial son."

It's really enough that as a girlfriend, she thinks more than Hachiman.

"Hahaha, they didn't spend much money raising me anyway. This is pretty much the behavior of a free-range kid." Hachiman said indifferently.

After returning home, they took a shower, changed clothes, and coaxed Himena to sleep (? ), and then they went out again.

Yumiko wasn't really stupid enough to buy a bag of apples as Hachiman asked. It was too embarrassing for her to do that.

Hachiman was driving in the night with a calm expression, and he didn't seem to be as impatient as someone who hadn't seen his relatives for a long time.

Yumiko asked curiously, "I say, Hikigaya, do you have any conflicts with your family?"

Hachiman's calm expression quickly turned into a bit of bitterness: "If there is any contradiction, it may be a good thing for me."

"What do you mean?" Yumiko asked curiously.

"We've been estranged for too long. When I came to my senses, I realized that there was a huge gap between my thoughts and my parents'. I don't have any conflicts with my parents, but there's also nothing I can say to them."

Perhaps compared to any quarrels caused by clear and fierce conflicts, having nothing to say is the saddest generation gap between parents and children.

Hachiman once called his father on a whim, and after hesitating for five minutes, he finally hung up because he had nothing to say.

Yumiko looked at him and felt a little distressed. Her family didn't have such problems. Her mother was always smiling. Although her father was rigid, her mother could neutralize him and they would chat often.

Yumiko suddenly felt maternal, touched his hair and said, "Poor child."

Chapter 23: Conceited

When Hachiman drove the Wrangler to a mid- to high-end residential area, Yumiko was somewhat surprised to find that "This is a good location."

Even better than the apartment Yumiko lives in now.

"Your family is well off." Youmiko sighed. As far as she could remember, this guy never showed off his wealth in high school.

Hachiman used flashing lights to alert the security guards at the gate of the community to open the fence, and then said calmly: "Not really, my family used to live in a single-family house on a normal street, and then I used all my savings from work to buy a house here for my parents and sister to live in."

Youmiko glanced at him and didn't expect that this guy used to be able to make a lot of money. The houses here are much more expensive than the car he is driving now.

"Aren't you very filial?" Youmiko said softly.

Hachiman glanced at her and smiled: "Whether it is out of filial piety or to repay the 'debt' of raising me, I can't tell myself."

So after his parents and sister moved in here, he resigned and became a wanderer not long after. He probably felt that at least he had fulfilled his obligations in terms of filial piety.

Of course, if Yumiko heard this, he would be beaten. He always wondered why he was such a cold-hearted person.

After parking the car in the parking lot, I packed up the gifts that Yumiko brought in the back seat.

"Wow, that's quite a lot." Hachiman felt the weight under his arms.

"Nonsense, if I rely on you, you will really bring a bag of apples here. I can't afford to lose face like this." Youmeiko said with her head held high.

"My girlfriend is awesome." Hachiman said with a smile.

"You don't have to exaggerate. I'm the best one, compared to your previous girlfriends." Youmiko reminded gently.

Hachiman shrugged his shoulders. No matter how generous a woman is, she would be very stingy in this regard.

He took the elevator to the duplex apartment on the tenth floor. He had no idea where he had thrown his keys, and he didn't have a cell phone, so he could only press the doorbell. Fortunately, the security guard still remembered his face, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to get in through the gate of the community.

A moment later, brisk footsteps were heard and the door to the Hikigaya residence opened, welcoming the figure of a cheerful young girl.

"Who is it, so late..."

Then, when she saw Hachiman, Komachi hugged Hachiman as if subconsciously, jumping a little excitedly and said, "Brother...Brother, welcome back."

Yumiko saw Hachiman's face tense up for a moment and then relaxed again. She thought to herself, he sounds so open-minded, but in the end he is just homesick, isn't he?

Hachiman smiled and pinched her cheek, then said, "Are mom and dad asleep?"

"No, they are watching the news... Hey, why is this sister so similar to the female anchor in the news?" Komachi said in surprise.

Hachiman wasn’t sure whether Komachi had met Yumiko when she was in junior high school, but he probably didn’t have a deep impression of her.

"If you were watching Chiba TV, then it was most likely me," Yumiko said in a flat tone.

Komachi looked at her brother, then at Yumiko, and asked cautiously, "Who are you, sister?"

"My girlfriend, Yumiko Miura," he said directly.

"Eh? Eh~~" Komachi's throat trembled with the soul.

After a while, Hachiman and Yumiko sat on the sofa. The atmosphere was a little awkward. Hachiman's parents kept comparing Yumiko with the sassy female host in the news.

"Brother, are you really dating Sister Miura?" Komachi asked hesitantly, as if she couldn't believe it.

Hachiman folded his hands and said, "Is it so strange that I'm dating Yumiko?"

Komachi pouted and said, "But..."

The brother who had been missing for several years suddenly came home one day and brought his girlfriend back. That girlfriend was a well-known female host, a "big shot" who could only be seen on TV. Isn't it normal to feel surprised?

Komachi then turned to Yumiko and asked, "Miura-sister, why do you want to date my brother... um, someone like him?"

The words "what a waste" were almost written on his face.

Yumiko immediately took a liking to Komachi Daisei and said, "Well, who says it's not true? But I'm old enough after all, and I have to find someone to marry. Wouldn't it be a waste if I married someone?"

There is a bit of narcissism in that one is willing to plant flowers on cow dung. After all, all stinky men in the world are the same.

Komachi smiled innocently and said, "Miura sister, you are right!"

Oh, how can this child be so cute? She doesn’t even seem to be the same species as her brother.

She took out the gift she had prepared and said, "I heard from Hikigaya that you graduated this year? This is a Chanel cosmetics set that I asked my colleague to buy from overseas. It's not easy for girls to attend job hunting events, so the first impression is very important. The first set of cosmetics before entering the workplace must be good."

Komachi widened her eyes, a little surprised: "Thank you, Sister Miura, I also want to learn from you and become the center of attention."

"Haha, how easy is it to deal with my sister?" Hachiman couldn't help but complain.

"Where's your gift, brother?" Komachi asked with bright eyes.

Hachiman said cleverly, "Your sister Miura's gift contains my thoughts. Please do your best in your job hunting activities."

This brother is really perfunctory.

Yumiko provoked him lightly, but Hachiman ignored her. Yumiko continued to get close to her sister and said, "But I really didn't expect Komachi to be so smart. She actually graduated from Waseda University, which is also a great university."

Komachi was a little embarrassed: "Hehe, actually I was almost there at the beginning, and it was my brother who asked someone to get me in."

Youmiko glanced at him and thought, this guy has this ability.

Then Yumiko gave a set of Shiseido products to Hachiman's mother and a walnut bracelet that was said to have some history to Hachiman's father.

Since it doesn't appear to be too expensive and it looks like a lot of thought has been put into it, it can be said that each family member is conquered one by one according to their differences. The favorability level was full when they first met, and Yumiko spoke in a generous and gracious manner, making the three people in the Hikigaya family feel like they were in spring breeze. They couldn't believe that this was the girlfriend that their son could find.

How blind must one be to fall in love with one's own son?

Compared to Yumiko's smooth handling of the situation, Hachiman, who had returned home after a long absence, seemed much more silent.
