Chapter 1: Bai Yingui can't be a brother complex

"Gulu."

The moment the salty sewage poured into the throat, a strange golden color was reflected on the silver retina—

It wasn't the golden eyes that had awakened some dragon bloodline, but the real sunlight that was penetrating the water, turning his pupils into two gold coins that seemed to be stained with dust.

Two minutes ago, he was still following the student union president to clean the pond in a daze, but after a female student in the same group accidentally fell into the water and no one came to rescue her, he subconsciously jumped into the water.

Because subconsciously I think I can swim, I am a swimming champion, and I even have a swimming pool lifeguard license.

In fact, the opposite is true. Baiyin has not mastered the skill of swimming.

The mismatch between the subconscious and the facts is very strange to ordinary people, but it is common to Baiyin.

Not only that, but I have had some bizarre dreams every night since I was a child. They seemed like another life and were very real, but unfortunately I couldn’t remember them after waking up.

If he had been given three seconds to think calmly, Baiyin would have definitely realized his true situation, but the situation was too urgent at the time, and he didn't realize it until his nerves were stimulated by the cold water.

He is a landlubber.

His body coordination is ridiculously poor, as if he is suffering from some strange disease. He is a landlubber who cannot activate swimming, a skill engraved in the DNA of mammals, no matter how much he practices.

"Woo..."

The lungs wailed in convulsions, and oxygen escaped from the mouth and nose in the form of silver fish.

The moment the water poured into the ear canal, the world suddenly became extremely clear - the sound of the second hand solidifying in the watch, and the echo of one's own heartbeat in the collapsing chest cavity.

As his life was about to end, Baiyin's often irritable heart calmed down for the first time in a long time, and his field of vision began to narrow. This is the tunnel vision that occurs when lack of oxygen leads to loss of consciousness.

Just as Baiyin was about to lose consciousness, he felt a slender hand grab his collar, followed by a powerful lifting motion...

……

"Shirayuki, how were your taijutsu, vocal music, piano, and calligraphy practices today? Six years old is a critical period, and we must lay a solid foundation."

"Baiyin, you must memorize these 100 ancient and modern Chinese and foreign classics selected by our family."

"Baiyin, we can't let down our guard in terms of etiquette and socializing. We'll continue tomorrow."

"Anime? Games? Such childish and boring stuff! Confiscate them."

"Baiyin, hurry up and graduate early within two years. Our family has arranged a place for you to study abroad at MIT in the United States."

"Baiyin, set up an organization in the United States. The family will send people to help you. Remember, except for yourself, all of us are expendable."

"Still can't sense the current?... As expected, even a genius like you can't replicate the legendary power of your ancestors."

"Baiyin, the family has arranged a suitable marriage for you. It's time for you to shed your virginity and leave offspring. We'll get married after the American presidential election."

The blue balloons over Stenia Avenue made a sound like a champagne bottle when they popped.

He gave a passionate speech to the crowd, but after a few gunshots, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck.

"!!!"

The boy opened his eyes and saw the unfamiliar ceiling. He quickly stood up and looked around vigilantly.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized there was no hustle and bustle of crowds, no other people around, and only a faint smell of disinfectant in the air.

He remembered it all.

In his previous life, because of some special abilities, his family believed that he had awakened the bloodline of the Bai family's ancestors, and then he spent a lot of energy and money to try to reproduce the legendary martial god power of his ancestors.

However, he was assassinated on the first day of campaigning for his ally in the presidential election. Before his death, a strange force compressed the remaining vitality of his body into a baby, breaking through the void and teleporting to another world. He was eventually picked up and adopted by Father Baiyin, and named Baiyin Yuxing.

Maybe it's a compatibility issue between different worlds, or a side effect of the compression of the body. The memory has only been fully awakened now. Also, due to the different rules, the body has been a little uncoordinated since childhood. Apart from that, there are no major problems.

"No matter what, I'm still alive, and..."

Baiyin looked at the sparrows chirping on the branches outside the window, and freed from the terrifyingly enthusiastic gazes of his family, he suddenly felt that the world that he should have hated had become beautiful.

Even my current living situation is not that great.

His father's company went bankrupt and was heavily in debt, his mother went to Italy with her gigolo, and his father and sister Kei lived in a small apartment with a monthly rent of 5 yen.

We are already in adolescence, but my sister and I still don’t have our own rooms. We are only separated by a curtain.

If you turn on the light while one person is standing, you can still see the other person's silhouette clearly, leaving no privacy at all.

To be honest, it's a bit miserable.

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the door of the infirmary.

"Please come in."

"Mr. Shirogane, you're awake now. Are you feeling any discomfort? While you were unconscious, we performed a state-of-the-art gastric lavage and antibacterial and antiviral treatment. Don't worry about choking on dirty water causing any serious side effects."

Along with that magnetic and rough voice, what caught Baiyin's attention was a short figure in a white coat.

The young male doctor, about 30 years old, had nothing special about him except that his face looked like a frog. However, he gave people an inexplicable sense of reliability, as if he could save anyone with only one breath left.

It should be the school doctor of Shuchiin.

He was accompanied by three female nurses. It can only be said that this is worthy of being an aristocratic school. Not only are the wards single rooms, but the staff in the infirmary are also so overstaffed.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine now."

"I'm glad you're okay, Shirogane. You've been exercising well, but you still need to remember the importance of sleep. Go to bed before 10 pm every night and get eight hours of sleep. Don't let fatigue accumulate until the next day."

"You should have woken up two hours ago, but you were too tired during the day, so you slept until the afternoon."

The frog-faced doctor patiently instructed, "Don't underestimate the importance of sleep. Many times, the unhappiness in life is caused by lack of sleep. You must remember this."

"I see. Thank you very much for your advice. I will do as you say."

Baiyin has a perfect smile on his face, coupled with his top-notch looks and sincere tone, he can easily win the favor of anyone, regardless of whether the other person is a man or a woman.

After all, this society still looks at the outside first. Putting enough effort into appearance is actually much more cost-effective than spending a lot of time improving your inner qualities.

"Uh-huh."

The frog-faced doctor also nodded slightly, and gave some further instructions about diet before letting Baiyin sign and leave.

"By the way, Shirogane-san."

Before leaving, the frog-faced doctor seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "The student council president wants you to go to the student council office when you wake up."

Student Council President~

Baiyin would think of what happened this morning. The student union president who was dressed a little strangely found him and recruited him into the student union as secretary.

Then I followed him and a group of volunteers to clean up the pond...

Baiyin raised his hand and looked at the time.

Good, school is over.

Between going home and going to the student union office to meet the male president who was left alone, Baiyin Yuxing undoubtedly chose to go home.

I'm too lazy to go back to the classroom to get my backpack since I won't lose it anyway.

As for the daily-paid part-time jobs originally planned?

pigeon!!!

When Baiyin thought that he would have complete control over his time from now on, he couldn't help but hum softly.

"Click, click."

Riding a bicycle, Baiyin did not choose his usual commuting route, but took a detour.

It’s not for the sake of seeing the scenery, after all, there is no beautiful scenery on the city roads. I just want to enjoy the special feeling of wasting time doing meaningless things.

My mind is empty, I don’t have to think about anything.

There is no gain or loss, and no personal relationships.

The bicycle chain made a slight metallic friction sound, and I squinted my eyes to feel the warmth of the setting sun dancing on my eyelashes.

This inefficient wandering should have made him anxious, but now he felt as happy as if he had tasted forbidden fruit.

In my previous life, I would never have imagined that just walking 3.7 kilometers to observe the light spots between the trees on the roadside could bring me a sense of comfort like a flood of ointment in my head.

"呲-"

Baiyin braked his bicycle in front of a unique landmark building that looked like a scroll.

Even when I was relaxing, I still unconsciously came to this place - the Municipal Library.

It looks like leisure time is over.

"Then let's go take a look inside. From what I remember from this life, the literary level of Japan doesn't seem to be very good, but we still need to do a more comprehensive investigation."

As the saying goes, without investigation, there is no right to speak. Baiyin still kept the great man's words firmly in his heart.

In order to live a better life in the future, it's time to evaluate the value of a small part of your brain.

Baiyin walked into the library, which was bustling with people but always kept relatively quiet.

Two hours later, he closed the book in his hand.

"The turning point in history was at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The history of all countries in the world changed. No literary work in the later period was the same as that in the previous life. However, the artistic level was not as bad as imagined. It can only be regarded as slightly inferior."

Baiyin used the library's computer to check the best-selling book list and the list of richest writers, and the value of the books in his mind became more concrete. There are many ways to make money, but copying books is the easiest way under the sun.

Leave the library.

The sun had already set, and the afterglow dyed the entire street red.

I rode my bike home along the shortest route, braked halfway, and bought some of my sister Bai Yingui's favorite ice cream at a convenience store near the apartment.

Then he walked up the wooden stairs of the old apartment and opened the door with his key.

"I am back."

"Well, welcome home."

Baiyin was greeted by his sister's calm words.

Standing at the entrance changing his shoes, he looked towards the living room and saw Kei sitting in front of a somewhat old coffee table, doing his homework seriously.

The warm yellow light gently fell on the girl's body, outlining her soft outline. Her long, smooth silver-gray hair cascaded down her shoulders, with the ends slightly curled, as if left by a gentle spring breeze.

Her skin was very fair, with a faint pink hue, delicate and tender. Her eyebrows were like two curved willow leaves, gently embedded in her smooth forehead.

She has beautiful almond-shaped eyes, which glow with a deep blue light when she is concentrating on her homework.

"Hmm~Homework done."

Gui put down the pen in his hand, raised his hands above his head, and began to stretch his slender waist like a willow branch.

I glanced at the clock beside me and realized it was still quite early, so I asked Baiyin, somewhat curiously but in a nonchalant tone, "Why did your work end so quickly today?"

Since childhood, Bai Yingui has actually been very attached to his brother.

Ever since entering junior high school and entering his rebellious period, Kei Shirogane has been trying hard to keep a distance from Miyuki Shirogane in order to avoid being seen as having a brother complex.

They wash their clothes separately, go to school separately, and even choose their work locations separately.

Naturally, there was less communication between them, and generally speaking, she would not take the initiative to start a topic.

Things like rushing up to hug his brother as soon as he comes home, and then expressing his concern and greetings in a soft and cute voice will never happen to Bai Yingui now.

But this does not mean that Bai Yingui does not care about her brother. She is just too shy to show it.

Her brother gave her a very different feeling today. If she were to describe it, it would be like someone who had been in a semi-sleepwalking state suddenly waking up, and the whole person instantly became alert.

So what exactly caused such a big change in my brother?

Bai Yingui was very curious.
