Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"Well, I'm just reminding you that if something happens, just blow this whistle and mom will protect you." Youmiko said with a smile.

Hachiman twitched the corners of his mouth, knowing that she was talking about Haruno.

Yumiko then picked him up and whispered, "I will protect you, you insecure fool."

Yang No once said that it was because of the bond with Yumiko that he was unable to be free of worries when he was alone. At that time, he was not afraid of any tricks Miss Yang No might use, nor did he have to be tortured by the unknown like he is now.

But at the same time, I can't experience the feeling of being cared for like I do now.

Youmiko slowly let him go, pulled him slowly towards the elevator, and said, "In fact, I was always afraid that you would leave without saying a word one day, because I always felt that you knew a little bit about everything, so I couldn't predict your intentions. Then, when I learned about your past, although you got into trouble with a very troublesome person, I was secretly happy in my heart. Do you know why?"

Hachiman thought for a moment and said, "Because of the Shura Field?"

"No, what are you thinking about?" But think about it, if it really was a Shura Field, she really had no confidence that she could beat that woman. Well, after all, she had already lost once.

But this time she didn't feel like she would lose at all, probably because Hachiman's attitude had always been clear.

"Because I finally know that you are just an ordinary person. You are afraid and worried. You are anxious because you are worried that Yukinoshita Haruno will use tricks to trick me. This makes me realize that you are just a cowardly fool."

In a sense, the appearance of Haruno allowed Yumiko to see the process of Hachiman falling from the altar and returning to being a human being. How can this not make people happy?

She added: "I'm not afraid of her."

Moreover, she will protect him.

Chapter 30: A slap in the face, right? I'm familiar with this

After buying the spices, Yusuke Miura sat on the sofa, made tea, turned on the TV and played Rakugo as background music, and sipped a cup of fragrant tea. There really is something magical in tea.

Just when he was enjoying himself, he heard his wife calling out from the kitchen: "Old man, why didn't you buy any garlic? Your son-in-law asked for garlic."

Having just floated up to the clouds and being pulled back to earth, Yusuke Miura said unhappily, "That's enough. How much difference can the taste make."

"So people like you just don't understand. I'd better call Yumiko and ask her to buy it when she comes over."

"Okay, your son-in-law understands, let him buy it." Besides, it's still unclear whether he is a real son-in-law or not. Do you really think he is easy to fool?

Yusuke Miura picked up the teacup, smelled the fragrant Gyokuro, put it down with a bit of bad luck, and instantly felt bad. He no longer had the mood to drink tea.

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

Yumiko had just finished a phone call. She yawned softly and said, "Mom said to buy some garlic near home."

They had just gone to AEON Department Store to buy some souvenirs. Hachiman glanced at her and asked, "What did you buy just now? You were so mysterious."

Yumiko chuckled and said, "I won't tell you. I'll give it to you when I'm in a good mood."

"So I should try to make you happy during this time and wait for the presents?"

"Even if there's no gift, shouldn't you try to make me happy, you stinky straight man?"

"Oh, you should think of it this way. Just a little gift can make me make you happy every day. Don't you think it's a good deal?"

"Come to think of it, you haven't bought me a gift yet."

"That's a lie." Hachiman smiled wickedly.

"Then tell me, what gift have you given me... I'm driving right now, what are you talking about?" Youmiko rolled her eyes at him.

The two chatted like this and finally arrived at the Miura family's mansion, which looked quite luxurious.

Hachiman opened his mouth and said, "I didn't expect you to be a really rich woman."

Youyouko snorted twice: "Haven't you always said that I'm a rich woman? Do you still need to say it now?"

He shook his head: "That's different. Those who make money by themselves can only be called small rich women. Just like you, those who have money at home can be called big rich women."

"Then which type does Yukinoshita Haruno belong to?" Yumiko asked with a hint of provocation.

You're not going to go, right? Hachiman told the truth: "She is neither of those. She is the kind of person who can make a comeback even if you give her a coin."

Yumiko was very unhappy about Hachiman's high evaluation of someone, so she stuffed all the souvenirs she brought into Hachiman's arms, and then went into the mansion with the servants.

"Mom and Dad, I'm gaining weight." Youmiko said playfully.

"Just come back, why are you shouting so loudly? You are so rude." Miura's mother would blame herself whenever she had the chance.

"What's wrong with your daughter shouting in your own home? Are you disturbing any neighbors? Go and cook your meal." Yusuke Miura taught his wife a lesson.

"Well, dad still loves me." Youmiko kept saying sweet things, as if honey was free.

"Nonsense, I lent you two million, but you still charge interest according to the bank rate. If I weren't your biological father, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing." Yusuke Miura complained again.

"Hey, I bought a new car. It's very nice. It's now in the garage." Youmiko said with a giggle.

Miura Yusuke rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't you have guests? Why don't you introduce yourself? You have no manners at all."

Hachiman's eyes moved, and he finally understood the meaning. Listen, the guests, the introductions, the politeness, there's nothing wrong with the words, but when put together there's a sense of strangeness in it, and the sense of proportion is perfectly grasped.

Haha, this future father-in-law is no pushover either.

Of course, the women of the Miura family didn't have so many twists and turns, so they naturally couldn't hear it, so Yumiko pushed Hachiman and put her hand on his shoulder: "This is Hikigaya Hachiman, um, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, who just returned to China not long ago, my boyfriend."

"Hello, Uncle Miura." Under the scrutinizing gaze of Miura's father, Hachiman greeted with a slightly honest voice, which surprised Miura's father a little. He ignored the information given by his daughter, thinking it was too exaggerated. But it was not easy for this person to remain neither humble nor arrogant under his gaze.

"Hey, why are you being so polite, Hikigaya-kun, please come here quickly. I bought this beef tripe, but I don't know what to do with it." Miura's mother shouted.

"Uncle, I'll go to the kitchen to help first?" Hachiman handed over the gift, said hello and went to the kitchen.

Yumiko picked up the cup of tea her father had made, took a sip, and the delicious taste lingered in her mouth: "Dad, your tea-making skills have improved."

"It's OK. Unfortunately the weather is bad this year, so the quality of the tea is just average." There was a sense of pride in his indifference.

"Hey, look at the gifts Hikigaya-kun bought for you. He put a lot of thought into it." Yumiko urged.

Sanpu's father took a single glance and said indifferently: "These are all things my daughter bought for me. What's so good about them?"

Wow, the old man’s mind is still quite clear. At least he doesn’t have to worry about Alzheimer’s.

"Okay, I'll just keep it to myself. Just accept the gift. I bought it with your loan." Are you angry or not? I just want to ask you if you are angry or not.

Hachiman was cutting tripe in the kitchen and took out two bottles of something from the bag. The studious Miura mother asked, "What is this, wine?"

"Well, apple brandy and apple sparkling wine. The most distinctive feature of this Normandy tripe is that it is braised with wine."

Both of them are veterans in the kitchen. Miura's mother has more experience, but Hachiman's dishes tend to be more flavorful than those of other countries, so they seem fresher. With just a little instruction, she can cooperate well.

Miura's mother couldn't help but bumped Hachiman's shoulder and said, "Hey, are you serious this time?"

Last time, Miura's mother realized that these two people were just pretending, but this time it seemed a little different, as if the fake was real.

"Please give me your guidance in the future, mother." Hachiman shamelessly began to try to establish a relationship with her.

He is following the mother-in-law route.

"Hahaha, it's okay if you call me that. Just don't let the old man hear it. He's such a hypocrite." Miura's mother started to tell her son-in-law the truth. If Yusuke Miura knew about this, he would probably be furious. Two of the three people in the family have already become cranky.

"I don't really care, as long as Yumiko is happy. Her father, on the other hand, used to admire Hayato, but you kids are all messed up. It's just that it's not that easy for him to accept you, especially since he cares so much about his reputation."

Then Miura's mother blinked and said, "But Mr. Hayama will bring Hayato to our house tonight. If you behave well, he might change his mind about you."

Hachiman thought about what it meant to perform well...

Ah, you mean a slap in the face, right? I am familiar with this.

Chapter 31: Why does your face hurt before I even hit you?

In the evening, Hachiman took the enamel pot that had been baked for four hours out of the oven and placed it on the table. He untied the lid and the long strips of dough that were connected to the pot to prevent water loss, and opened the lid. A rich aroma of cider and beef that had been fully cooked wafted out. Although it did not emit golden light, the color, aroma and taste alone indicated that this dish would not be bad.

By the way, Hachiman has always felt that as long as enough meat and spices are added, the taste will not be too bad no matter how it is cooked.

"As expected, Hikigaya-kun has the real deal. I've made a note of this dish so I can teach it to my sisters next time."

Hachiman thought, Auntie, are you here to praise the group leader? I didn't feel anything at all, but you made me feel that way after your awkward praise.

"Dad, please try it. Is this all your son-in-law can do?" Youmeiko said calmly, but it sounded like she was showing off.

Yusuke Miura tried it silently and found that it tasted really good, almost as good as his wife's cooking.

He nodded and said, "Have you ever thought about becoming a chef, Hikigaya?"

Hachiman also sat down. Miura's mother added a bowl of fragrant white rice. He thanked her and said, "To be honest, my cooking skills are OK at home, but I'm still far from being a professional. If I have to find a way out, I can only rely on the Internet to share dishes, but I don't want to go this route."

He learned all these skills from a Michelin three-star chef, so he naturally knows how big the gap is between the delicacies of ordinary families and professional ones.

Yusuke Miura only knows about the Internet, but he doesn't understand it. Don't expect the older generation in a country where the Minister of Information doesn't even know about USB flash drives to know much about the Internet. Yusuke Miura doesn't understand it, so he will skip it for now. But there is one thing that is quite surprising: this kid's brain is quite smart.

"Well, since you have no intention of developing this into a career, you shouldn't spend so much time on it. Time flies. You should make a career while you are still young. Well, I am quite satisfied with Yumiko in this regard, but it's a pity that she is a girl."

"Dad, why are you talking about this again?" Youmiko said dissatisfiedly. Although she herself didn't care, her parents still cared a lot about the "men are the breadwinners" after all.

But Hachiman was not in a hurry. He put down the spoon and said with a smile, "No, I didn't spend much time on it."

Miura Yusuke was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"

Hachiman continued, "What I mean is that I can learn anything once I learn it, and I can become proficient at it at once, including cooking. I just learned it casually and it's like this now, so your statement that I put a lot of effort into it is actually not true."

Damn it, you are here to pick a fight, right? This is a pretentious way of acting without any worldly touch. Damn, I was really fooled by him.

Youmiko wiped her mouth with a napkin to prevent her father from getting angry after seeing her. Finally, her father saw how this girl could make people angry to death without any hesitation.

Miura Yusuke also put down the spoon and said bluntly: "Forget it, I'll be frank, Yumiko, actually this Hikigaya-kun is not your boyfriend, but you hired him. I heard the young people in the company have a term... rental boyfriend, right?"

Youmiko was confused. What was my father talking about?

Miura Yusuke continued to sigh to himself and said, "I know you haven't gotten over Hayato's shadow yet, and you don't want me to worry, but your father is not so fragile that he needs your comfort in this way. After this meal, let Hikigaya-kun leave. Thank you for helping to prepare this meal. It tastes very good."

So, her father thought that Hachiman was rented by her... You can't completely say that dad was wrong, it's just that it's a little late. Your daughter's body and mind have been eaten up by now.

As for how her father came up with this, I'll tell you everything.

"What rental boyfriend? Hikigaya is my boyfriend, the real one." Yumiko emphasized.

Miura Yusuke's face turned serious. "It's okay to do things badly, but lying is the worst. I remember teaching you this, Yumiko."

Damn it, Youyouko is about to curse.

The mother sitting next to me:???

"Then he is really my boyfriend, can't I make a fake one?" Youmiko said.

Miura's father folded his hands and said with a hint of disappointment: "Okay, prove to me that Hikigaya-kun is really your boyfriend and not just hired."

"How can I prove to you that we are dating?"

This kind of subjective idealism has nothing like a marriage certificate, how can it be proved? Did I do it for you to see? You are crazy.

Yumiko's temper flared up, and she was helpless against her stubborn father who refused to listen to her.

So she turned around and said, "Husband, say something."

Hachiman ate his rice mouthful by mouthful. He originally found the fight between his parents quite interesting, but when he saw that Yumiko was about to lose control, he put down his chopsticks and said.

"Yumiko has two moles on her butt."

After saying that, he picked up the bowl again and ate the rice slowly.

Suddenly the Miura family fell into silence for a long time. Miura's father had a sullen look on his face, and Miura's mother wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Only Youmiko opened her mouth and looked at her boyfriend, wondering what kind of monster she had found.

It took a while for Yusuke Miura to come back to his senses. He looked at Yumiko with complicated eyes. Was it possible that the girl he raised to such a big age was taken away by a pig?

Youmiko also began to concentrate on eating, as if she couldn't see the suddenly old look in her father's eyes.

Father Miura paused for a moment, then continued to attack: "Even if you are really a couple, Hikigaya-kun's background is fake after all. You dare to make up a story about him graduating from the University of Pennsylvania?"

Now that I think about it, Hayato is actually really good. He has a decent family background and good abilities. He will be able to achieve great things in the future under the name of the Yukinoshita family. It's really true that you have to compare the goods carefully.

Yumiko put down her chopsticks. This was indeed a problem. Hachiman had just told her mother casually at the beginning. She had just wanted to get away with it without thinking about it carefully, but now even her father knew about it.

Where Hachiman graduated is not the main issue. The problem is that if this is false, then Hachiman's experience as a homeless person will be exposed. Which parents would like their daughter to find a man who is both a homeless person and a gigolo as a son-in-law?

Just when Hachiman was about to say something, someone rang the doorbell and the servant came to announce that the Hayama family had arrived.

So this issue was put aside for the time being, the table was cleaned up and the guests were welcomed in.

But what Yumiko didn't expect was that there were quite a lot of people coming. In addition to Uncle Hayama, there were Hayato and her fiancée, her fiancée's cousin, Misaki Arai, who had been beaten by her, and her boyfriend, the director's son who had returned from overseas.

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

Yumiko was stunned for a moment, wondering why this girl was here. To be honest, Yumiko beat this bitch up. Although Yumiko was mature in her work ability, her temper had not changed much.

Yumiko gently raised her chin, pointed at Arai Miri, and asked, "Hayato, what's wrong with this woman?"

Ye Shan touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, but still said: "I already know what happened. Shili's actions were too extreme, so I asked her to come and apologize."

"Yes, I was originally just a guest at my brother-in-law's house, and he gave me a lecture. Then I heard that I was going to come here to meet Senior Miura, so I shamelessly followed him. I'm really sorry about the planning case."
