Zongman: Even if I am reborn, I still want to live my daily life

Gao Yumo thought for a moment, wondering what lines to say. "How about something familiar? Of course, something the girls would know absolutely nothing about."

"I bloom in the slaughter, like a flower in the dawn."

Gao Yumo uttered this classic line from Jin, which many people probably consider the most stunning line, right? At least that's how Gao Yumo felt.

He succeeded on his first try, perfectly imbuing the line with emotion.

It is infused with Gao Yumo's understanding of Jhin, the background of the hero Jhin, and his art.

His dubbing skills allow him to perfectly recreate the voice and tone he remembers, and with the added emotion, the experience will definitely be more memorable than the original!

After the girls were ready, they heard Gao Yumo speak in a voice that wasn't his. Some girls who didn't follow Gao Yumo's club activities were a little stunned, but most of them knew how good Gao Yumo's voice acting skills were.

Moreover, he is even more powerful than they understand. His voice is not limited to a few types; he can change it however he wants. Even if he imitates you to your face, you won't be able to tell the difference between him and yourself.

This time was different. Gao Yumo's emotionally charged line directly changed the scene before their eyes.

It was no longer the restaurant they had been in before, but a scene they had never seen before..........

A hitman serving time in prison is released for some reason and becomes an assassin used in power struggles.

But he wasn't simply killing people; he was performing what he considered art, treating each assassination as a theatrical performance.

He used the gun in his hand as a pen to write a script, unleashing his cruel art.

Upon hearing Gao Yumo's line, the girls felt as if they were witnessing Jin's performance—a series of horrifying acts that terrified the victims and shocked and distressed the onlookers, the girls.

"They call me a madman, an artist, they're all madmen."

Just as the girls were about to come to their senses, Jhin, who was once again performing his cruel drama, suddenly turned around and said a line that sent chills down their spines.

"What did you see?" From Gao Yumo's perspective, after he finished speaking, the girls were stunned for a moment, then they all shuddered and came back to their senses. This time, the moment of distraction was very short, maybe even less than a second.

However, no one paid him any attention. They were all still immersed in the shock they had just witnessed. What they had just seen was something they would never see in their lives: countless murder scenes, each one incredibly cruel.

But apart from feeling a little uncomfortable, they didn't feel much else, which was quite strange. However, this should be a special effect of Gao Yumo's ability. If they had really seen the scene of the murder, they would have vomited long ago.

Moreover, they discovered that what they were seeing was the same. Was this a hallucination they were seeing while playing online?

"So you're saying you saw Jin? You saw many of the things he did? You saw him kill people?" Gao Yumo asked, listening to their discussion.

"Jin? Was that madman just now named Jin?" Kaguya asked. "Who is he? Why can your words allow us to see so many things we've never seen before?"

The other girls also looked at him curiously.

"Oh, that's a character I designed in a game. What you're seeing is probably his backstory," Gao Yumo explained. Anyway, there's no League of Legends in this world, so he's the one who calls the shots.

"I didn't expect that pouring emotions into the 4.6 syllables would have such an effect. It's amazing. It just doesn't work for me. By the way, that was the character's line, which is why it was able to draw you into his story."

"I see." Kaguya nodded.

Umaru got excited: "A game? A new game? When can we play it?"

The girls glanced at her. Was this the time to ask that?

However, there was one person who was just as excited, but didn't show it: Gabriel. After all, she had to pretend to be well-behaved, otherwise she would have shouted excitedly long ago.

"It's too early. That game is too difficult for our club with its current size." Gao Yumo shook her head. League of Legends is too early for them. Mainly, they don't have enough people. Their skill level is too high, so it's no problem for them.

"Ok."

"Alright, let's get back to the topic. Since the test showed that emotional infusion also works on your other skills, it means that cooking is indeed one of your other abilities." Yuki brought the topic back on track, otherwise Umaru would have led them astray. They shouldn't forget the purpose of having Gao Yumo do the test. The topic of emotional infusion for voice acting can wait. Let's figure out the cooking thing first.

"It seems so." Gao Yumo nodded in confirmation. The system was indeed good; it hadn't just given him mediocre abilities, but each skill had a new power. He wondered if the other skills had similar abilities; he was very much looking forward to it.

Chapter 168 Yukino's Crisis! (1st Update)

"I already have some ideas, so I can experiment on my own from now on. Do you still want double-skin milk?" Gao Yumo smiled and shook her head. The result of the discussion was obvious, so there was no need to discuss it anymore.

"Is this dessert called double-skin milk pudding? It's delicious." Yuki understood what her brother meant, so she didn't say anything more and continued the conversation.

"Can I learn?" Sakura asked, as she was very interested in making it herself.

“Of course, I can teach you if you want to learn. What about Megumi? Do you want to learn?” Gao Yumo nodded and then looked at Kato Megumi.

"If it's not too much trouble, please."

"How could it be troublesome? By the way, I can take a very detailed tutorial and send it to the group. You can try it yourselves if you want. Compared to other desserts, double-skin milk pudding is quite simple to make." Gao Yumo slapped his palm and thought of a good idea.

"Yay! I want to try it too!" Umaru was eager to try it when she heard it was so simple.

Chestnut was the most interested. The texture of this double-layered milk pudding was very similar to her favorite coffee jelly. Although it was still not as good as her favorite coffee jelly, she really wanted to learn how to make it herself.

"But you have to finish what you made, don't waste it." Gao Yumo looked at her with a smile. Xiao Mai was still very confident. Although she had never cooked or made desserts before, she believed that she would definitely learn quickly.

Most of the girls thought the same way and wanted to find an opportunity to try it out. Anyway, Gao Yumo said he could make video tutorials. If all else failed, they could learn by watching and practicing the videos. They were sure they could learn it in 30 minutes.

Gao Yumo didn't stop them. Letting them start with double-skin milk pudding and gradually get familiar with cooking skills was a great approach.

It won't do if the girls can't cook. If Gao Yumo isn't home, and Xiaoying isn't home either, and none of the girls who know how to cook are home, what will they eat? They'll have to learn, right? Gao Yumo is doing this for their own good; having more skills means having more options, although Gao Yumo doesn't usually make them cook.

"Anything else you want to ask? If not, you can leave now. Of course, if you want more, we still have some. We also have chilled double-skin milk in the fridge, which is a completely different experience from the hot kind." Gao Yumo clapped her hands and beckoned them to look at her as she watched the girls excitedly discussing their first opportunity to make desserts.

Hopefully, they won't give up after trying it once. After all, most of the girls in the family don't have a basic level of cooking skills. They're the type who will eat whatever Gao Yumo or Xiaoying makes. Even though double-skin milk is very simple, Gao Yumo feels that they might mess it up.

"There shouldn't be anything else. I've even experienced the effect of infusing emotions into voice acting, it's just a little scary," Kaguya said. She had made everything clear, and now it was up to Gao Yumo to try it herself. They couldn't help much, they could only offer their silent support.

The girls dispersed to do their own things, and she told them to call them when it was time to eat. They didn't do anything as Gao Yumo had expected. The worst thing was that Xiao Mai kept clinging to her arm and wouldn't let go, but after the girls woke up, she sat back down in her seat.

Only Gao Yumo, Yang Nai, and Yukino remained. Yukino had just woken up from the second illusion, and Yang Nai was telling her what had just happened.

For Yang Nai, what just happened was also very novel and mysterious. Gao Yumo was not just powerful; as the girls had just said, he was a monster. He couldn't be viewed with normal eyes at all. After all, she would never have believed what she saw and experienced today before.

Yukino listened quietly to what her sister was telling her. She had just had a heart-to-heart talk with her sister and had managed to resolve some of her inner conflicts. However, she still couldn't get along with her sister completely. Sometimes her sister's behavior was unexpected, which was why she sometimes didn't want to talk to her.

Gao Yumo went straight into the kitchen to cook dinner. Because Yang Nai said she wanted to talk to him alone, she sent away Sakura and the others who usually helped. She would come in after Yang Nai and Yukino finished talking. Sakura and the others understood and didn't mind.

"It smells so good." After a while, Yang Nai came in and said that Gao Yumo's first dish was already cooked. He usually puts it in a warming cabinet to keep it warm after it's cooked, otherwise the later dishes will be cooked and the first ones will be cold. After all, if there are many people, you have to cook a lot more dishes, so this step is necessary.

"What do you want to say to me?" Gao Yumo asked Chaoyang without turning his head, continuing to do his work.

"It's nothing big. First, let's talk about you letting me stay at your place. I've agreed, but I still have university to attend, so I won't be staying at your place very often." Yang Nai first agreed to Gao Yumo's invitation. This was easy for her to confirm, since all the things she was most interested in were here, so how could she not stay?

"It's okay, you just need to take one room. You can come back whenever you have time." Gao Yumo smiled. It wasn't a big deal; studying was more important. "Also, you should invite Yukino to stay with you."

"Now, let me tell you about my business." Yang Nai's tone became slightly more serious. Upon hearing this, Gao Yumo immediately stopped what he was doing, turned to look at her, and said he would listen attentively.

Then he looked at Yukino, who was standing silently behind Yukino. Of course, Gao Yumo knew that Yukino was there, but wasn't her lack of reaction a way of hoping that the busy Gao Yumo wouldn't notice her? Even when Gao Yumo turned his head, she didn't move, which was indeed a bit strange.

Yang Nai also noticed Gao Yumo's gaze and explained, "What happens next is related to Yukino."

"Go on," Gao Yumo nodded, indicating that he was listening. However, he could roughly guess some of the reasons, which was one of the reasons why he went to find Yukino at this time and why he used Hiratsuka Shizuka to get close to Yukino this time.

"Our mother wants Yukino to return home and inherit the family business because of me and you. I won't go into the rest, but I think you understand what that means."

Gao Yumo nodded, of course he understood. This was the kind of thing that happened when Gao Yuyangkui met him, which was a very common occurrence in this kind of family.

"But I really didn't expect your mother to do something like this when Yukino and I were still in a relationship." Gao Yumo's words indicated that he knew about this. "It's probably because she heard the news from you, right?"

Yang Nai was surprised that Gao Yumo knew so much, but she nodded knowingly, understanding why it was today. The meeting with Yukino must have been planned. She had underestimated him after all; she had been so blind before.

"I think you've already talked to your mother about it, right? But she thinks you lied to her. After all, she should know that Yukino and I haven't been in contact, and she probably doesn't believe most of what you said to her, right?" Gao Yumo asked, though it was a guess, but Yang Nai knew he knew very well.

“That’s right, this is the problem I need your help with, and it’s also the problem Yukino needs to solve. But it’s actually very simple for you, isn’t it? After all, nothing has actually happened yet.” Haruno laughed. Her serious demeanor just now was an act. This matter wasn’t serious at all, since it was very easy to solve. She was just trying to scare Takayuki and Yukino at the same time. However, Yukino didn’t seem to be scared at all, and Takayuki knew perfectly well that it was another failed prank.

“It’s actually quite easy to solve. Just give your mom a call or something, but the simplest solution is still to meet her in person. Give me her number, and I’ll arrange a time with her,” Gao Yumo said, looking at Yukino. “Yukino, you have to come with me then.”

This was the first time Yukino spoke. She bowed slightly to Gao Yumo and said, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

She has always been somewhat fragile and insecure. The pressure from her family has led to her awkward personality. However, after two recollections and a conversation with her sister, she has let go of many things and understands who she hurt the most with her actions this year.

So she apologized without hesitation, now that Gao Yumo was looking at her and talking to her.

Gao Yumo was taken aback. This strong and opinionated girl actually apologized. He realized that she was in a very bad state. He walked over and hugged her, rubbing her head.

"No need to apologize, it's not your fault," Gao Yumo comforted her. "Of course, if you insist on apologizing, then I forgive you."

"So please, can my Yukino return to her original form? It breaks my heart to see you like this."

The two looked at each other, and Yukino realized that Takahashi had never blamed her. This guy's personality was really good. It was rare to see him angry or insecure. Most of the time, he seemed to know everything about things, which was what attracted Yukino to him in the first place.

"Is this how I am normally? So you like it when I scold you? You idiot." Yukino wrapped her arms around Takayuki's waist, just like Takayuki was doing. Takayuki was laughing when he felt Yukino's hands pinching his waist.

Yang Nai chuckled beside her. Gao Yumo had just placed his hand on Yukino's buttocks like that; he deserved to be pinched.

"Isn't this to help you recover some of your strength?" Gao Yumo pretended to be in a lot of pain. Xue Nai's strength didn't hurt him much, but he couldn't just pretend that nothing was wrong, could he?

"Indeed, isn't the effect obvious?" Yang Nai chimed in, only to be glared at by Xue Nai. However, she had indeed regained some of her spirits, instead of looking lifeless as before. Gao Yumo and Yang Nai both breathed a sigh of relief; they were finally at ease knowing that Xue Nai was like this.

"I'm fine now, don't worry about me," Yukino said to the two of them. "Now that you've both forgiven me, I don't need to blame myself anymore, right? So I don't need to keep thinking about those bad things anymore, so don't worry, I'm fine."

Her words reassured Gao Yumo and Yang Nai even more; given her personality, her words truly meant there was nothing to worry about.

"Then I'll continue cooking. If you two want to help, you can." Gao Yumo turned around and continued cooking after seeing that everything was resolved.

Yang Nai stayed behind to help. Although her cooking skills weren't very good and couldn't compare to Gao Yumo's, she was still able to help out.

Although Yukino didn't help, she stayed behind. After all, she knew without a doubt what her sister would do if she left her and Gao Yumo there. How could she possibly do that?

She was also planning to discuss with Gao Yumo when to visit her mother.

"Tomorrow," Gao Yumo finally said, setting the date for tomorrow.

(Another clickbait title, mainly because I couldn't think of one.)

(And one more thing, why doesn't Yukino Yukinoshita's mother have a name?! I'm terrible at naming things, I have to come up with a name myself! Ugh!)

Chapter 169 Meeting Yukino's Mother (2nd Update)

The next day after school, Gao Yumo went to Yukino's class to call her again. This time, the students in her class paid even more attention to her, spreading unrealistic rumors. Of course, most of those who believed the rumors were girls who were jealous of Yukino and some boys who were jealous of Gao Yumo. Although Yukino didn't care at all, Gao Yumo directly asked Kuriko to curse them.

As for Eriri and the others, Gao Yumo told them what he was going to do today, and they complained a few times, but it was fine after that.

After all, it's just meeting the parents. Eriri's mother, Gao Yumo, has met her so many times already. Speaking of which, when should we go back to Eriri's house to see Sayuri? Although she hasn't been away from her family for very long.

"Thank you for your help, Nami-nee." At the school gate, Kazanami was waiting in the car she had prepared. She had arranged to meet Yukino's mother in a private room at a restaurant today, and it was almost time. She might not make it if she walked there, so she asked Kazanami to give them a ride.

“It’s no trouble at all. Serving the young master is my duty.” Kagami shook her head, and after seeing that the two people in the back seat were seated, she drove off.

However, unexpectedly, the young master only brought the girl home once, and the next day he met her mother. But according to others, the young master and she had known each other for quite a while, which is normal. However, it seems that there are other reasons for meeting the parents this time, but she didn't ask. Maybe it's someone else's privacy?

She was just a maid, and a maid of the young master at that. She didn't need to worry about other people's affairs; the young master could handle them himself.

In the back row, Gao Yumo and Yukino sat there. Gao Yumo held Yukino's hand. Gao Yumo could tell that Yukino was very nervous. Her mother was a very serious and domineering person. After all, Gao Yumo had met her once, and it was that time that led Yukino to start the actions that she now finds very confusing.

This shows how severe the pressure her mother exerted on Yukino was; she didn't even dare to resist and could only silently bear everything herself.

However, now that she thinks about it, if she had been honest with Gao Yumo back then, none of this would have happened, and the two of them wouldn't have gone a year without speaking to each other. Sure enough, she still only knows how to run away from things, but this time she won't!

"Okay, don't be nervous, I'm here for you," Gao Yumo comforted her by rubbing her hand.

After calming herself down, Yukino said to Gao Yumo, "Shouldn't I be the one comforting you when you meet the parents?"

"Then you should comfort me." After saying that, Gao Yumo pretended to be very nervous, which made Xue Nai laugh out loud. After she opened up to Gao Yumo, her personality really improved a lot.

Waka Nami, who was driving, glanced at Yukino in the rearview mirror a few times. This Yukino-san's personality was quite different from what she had seen yesterday. It must be the effect of the dessert from yesterday. Good memories do make people feel more beautiful and happier.

"Thank you for your trouble, Nami-nee. Why don't you go back first?" Gao Yumo said to Waka Nami.

They have arrived at the designated location.

"No need, I'll just wait for you in the car." Kaname shook her head; she was fine.

"Okay, I'll make it up to you tonight." Gao Yumo got out of the car after saying that, and Kaname blushed. What would the compensation be? She was really looking forward to it!

Outside the car, Yukino pinched Takayuki's waist. It was obvious that she had heard what he said earlier. Although she had let it go, she was still a little annoyed.

"Stop pretending to be in pain. I didn't use much force, and you're thick-skinned so you won't feel any pain. Your pretense is too obvious." Yukino was even more furious when she saw Gao Yumo pretending to be in pain. She wanted to use force, but she knew that it would probably be useless.

"Hehe, okay, let's go in. Let's not keep my mother-in-law waiting too long." Gao Yumo took Xue Nai's hand and walked towards the restaurant.

Yukino glanced at the hand being held, a smile on her face. She didn't say anything about Gao Yumo's use of the term "mother-in-law," and she didn't deny her feelings for Gao Yumo.

The two quickly arrived at the private room that Gao Yumo had reserved. Gao Yumo could feel Yukino's tension, and the strength transmitted from her hands was very obvious.

Gao Yumo clenched his fist to comfort her, then pushed open the door and entered the private room without saying anything.

Yukino's mother was already waiting inside. When she heard the door being pushed open, she looked over and saw her daughter Yukino and Takahashi Sumi holding her hand.

She smiled. Sure enough, she had arrived. When she received Gao Yumo's call yesterday, she knew her plan had worked. As expected, as long as she told Yang Nai that she wanted to call Yukino home, she would definitely inform Gao Yumo.

Gao Yumo had also considered this possibility, after all, Yukino's mother was such a person, a true strong woman, and Gao Yumo felt that she might not be able to handle her.

"You've come." She smiled gently. Yukino looked at her mother's smile; she often saw this kind of business-like smile on her older sister's face.
