Why are you messing with him? All the animals in Tokyo are his minions.

Kanda Yui doesn't care. As long as she is with Shuyue, she is happy to do anything.

As for Shuyue himself, he actually prefers to create alone.

Shuyue actually prefers to be alone and free, doing whatever she wants.

No need to take care of anyone's emotions;

There is no need to force yourself.

Before he knew it, Sayuri Araki and Yui Kanda had become part of his daily life.

Shuyue is always alone.

It's obviously safer when you're alone than at other times.

However, Shuyue is now gradually unable to bear living alone.

This was clearly overcome by his past self.

But now it's different.

Appreciating the snow is obviously a time-consuming, laborious and boring thing.

But seeing that Araki Sayuri was happy, Shuyue also felt happy for some reason.

Shuyue was holding the hot tea handed to her by Kanda Yui, but she heard Araki Sayuri suddenly come over and giggle, "...Shuyue~ I bought new suspender stockings and lace panties, do you want to come and see?"

Kanda Yui, who was standing by, immediately stopped her, "Sayuri, these lace panties you bought are so painful to wear. Did you buy cheap ones?"

"Yes, five for one hundred yen, and they're all different styles." Araki Sayuri said truthfully, "They look pretty good."

"It looks good but is hard to wear, and it will probably make you sick easily, right?" Kanda Yui said disapprovingly.

However, neither Shuyue nor Kanda Yui expected what Araki Sayuri's next explanation would be.

"Yui, who told you to wear these all the time? These panties are meant to be torn." Araki Sayuri blinked, "If the quality is too good, it won't be fun..."

Kanda Yui: “…”

Kanda Yui was speechless.

However, Shuyue had long been desensitized to Sayuri Araki's eccentricities. He smiled gently, "Sayuri, sometimes you shouldn't play too much. You might lead Yui astray."

"How is this considered a bad influence?" Araki Sayuri said with a wicked smile, "When night falls, Yui will be the white saint, and I will be the black witch. Whatever style Shuyue wants, we can satisfy you."

Sayuri Shinmu came closer and asked cryptically, "So, do you like us? Do you like us?"

Shuyue was amused by her again, "I like it... I love you guys so much..."

Chapter 272 What if we only date but don’t get married?

Having just released a new game, Shuyue returned to the main house of Shihoudou.

The animals in the company were handed over to Yan Zhu for care.

These animals, freed from their previous precarious lives, worked very hard.

Even if Shuyue has not assigned them any new tasks yet.

The rats will also consciously draw some beautiful wallpapers without a theme.

Even if it is not useful now, it is still very pleasing to the eye.

Even if the products are beyond her work tasks, Yan Zhu will considerately give the rats a small reward, and print out the pictures, frame them and hang them on the company's walls.

Yan Zhu would also select some beautiful works to make greeting card sets and distribute them to the company's employees as company benefits.

The mice's painting skills have been improving, and their aesthetic threshold has also increased significantly.

The products provided by the Rat Group are rare and precious items and are carefully collected by the company's employees.

Therefore, Yinyue Group started a new industry, designing exquisite annual calendars.

What Yan Zhu needs to do is to maximize the benefits of Shu Yue's expertise.

The winter wind is very cold.

Even during the day, the wind was as sharp as a knife.

Shuyue installed floor heating in his residence, and all the animals under his command spent the winter in the house.

Although it is a cold winter, the house is actually quite lively.

Snowy season.

There was a soft snowfall in the sky.

Floor-to-ceiling glass doors are installed along the edge of the narrow corridor in Shuyue Courtyard.

You can enjoy the snow without being ravaged by the raging cold wind.

Snowflakes kept falling from the sky.

Sitting on the narrow corridor, you can see the courtyard at night.

The courtyard was covered with snow.

Even in winter, the flowers and plants are neatly trimmed.

The flowers, plants and trees that are in full bloom and lush with leaves and roots in other seasons are now buried deep under the snow, but thanks to the meticulous carving of gardening masters, they present various shapes that cannot be ignored.

In the darkness, dim lights highlight the courtyard on a snowy night.

The courtyard was a silvery darkness.

The snow reflected the light, turning into a shade of white and emitting a crystalline glimmer.

On the edge of the narrow corridor.

There is a stove on the tatami.

On either side of the fireplace sat an old man and a young boy.

They all sat cross-legged.

On the left is a young boy wearing a white yukata and dark haori, about ten years old, with a delicate face and outstanding temperament. He is Shuyue.

Sitting on the other side of the fireplace was an old man with white hair and beard. He was wearing a light blue bathrobe and a long coat. He was Yan Zhu's father, Sifangtang Mingzheng.

"It's winter, but it's as hot as summer here." Mingzheng picked up the tea and sighed, "I'm completely disgusted by you, right? If you hadn't been at home all year, Yan Zhu wouldn't have come home, and I'd be left with only her as a child. Fortunately, you've still put down your roots in our family and occasionally come back to look at the vegetables you've grown..."

"The only child?" Shu Yue couldn't help but sneer. Putting down his teacup, he said indifferently, "Grandpa, there must be more than one of those little ones in your yard, right?"

"Hmph... How can an illegitimate child be compared to a legitimate son? Even if Yan Zhu is a daughter." Ming Zheng lowered his eyes and said, "Everything I have will eventually be handed over to you."

"No need, grandpa can keep it for his retirement." Shuyue said with a chuckle.

Are you kidding me?

If I inherit Mingzheng's property, wouldn't I also have to inherit Mingzheng's illegitimate children?

This shameless old man has a very clear plan.

Shuyue doesn't want to care about these troubles.

If you don't accept the benefits that come from a legitimate cause, you naturally don't have to bear the responsibilities that come from a legitimate cause.

In fact, Shuyue is no longer short of those trivial things.

Compared to the panic-stricken situation when it first came, it is now completely different.

In the past, Yan Zhu always visited Ming Zheng.

Shuyue will meet Mingzheng and will also need Yanzhu's guidance.

Now, if Mingzheng wants to see Shuyue, he has to take the initiative.

Mingzheng was silent for a moment before he said, "Your room...isn't there more than just this heater to keep you warm?"

"There is floor heating. If grandpa wants to install floor heating, I can introduce you to the previous decoration team. They have decoration experience and decoration plans." Shuyue smiled.

Mingzheng chuckled, "Then I'll leave it to you. I'm old and can't stand the cold anymore. I want to live a few more years to see you create a prosperous world."

Shuyue chuckled, "Grandpa, you think too highly of me. I'm just doing something I like and can make money."

"Not many kids could have that mentality." Mingzheng sighed. "I did a lot of things in my early years that made Yan Zhu completely disgusted with me, right? I haven't seen her in a year. After completely separating from Sifangtang and becoming independent, Yan Zhu started living frequently in her new company."

"It's because the internal motivation for work is different, Grandpa." Shuyue chuckled and said, "Before, I worked for you, but now I work for myself. The situation is different."

"That's absolutely right." Mingzheng nodded. He then looked at Shuyue and said, "Those two girlfriends of yours... well, who are you going to make your wife in public?"

"Since we are equal, we are all wives."

Shuyue raised his hand to refill Mingzheng's tea and answered nonchalantly.

Mingzheng picked up the steaming cup of tea and was silent for a moment. He looked at his reflection in the bright yellow tea and said, "This country has a monogamous system."

"There are also many people in this country who have children out of wedlock." Shuyue was still smiling. "What about just dating without getting married?"

Mingzheng looked at Shuyue with some surprise.

But then Shuyue said, "We all know each other, support each other, and are all family. Grandpa, I don't have your worries."

After hearing this, Mingzheng was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he covered his face and laughed out loud, tears coming out of his eyes.

"You're right. I really envy you." Mingzheng sighed. "It's a pity that I didn't have your ability and courage back then. Now seeing you like this, I really feel... relieved."

Just love, not get married.

There is no bondage of marital responsibilities between them, it all depends on self-awareness.

But…because there are no constraints, it is easier to see a person’s true face.

Those who should leave should not stay, and those who should stay cannot be driven away.

Mingzheng was envious from the bottom of his heart.

Because one's reputation in youth needs to be protected by the marriage system, because he is the one most likely to be abandoned.

Mingzheng would be so servile in order to gain the power of the Tachibana family behind his wife.

But after taking office, thinking back on the past, he felt like there was something stuck in his throat.

That's why... his wife died early, and the legitimate son she gave birth to... did not have a good end.

After arguing for so many years, Mingzheng finally realized that he was wrong.

But what has happened is irreversible and there is no point in saying more.

Chapter 273 Time Passes

Winter is not over yet.

The main family of Shifangtang was originally located in the suburbs, surrounded by forests.

The mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and even Yan Zhu could only communicate with Shu Yue by phone, or with the birds that could travel in winter.

After all, traveling back and forth on mountain roads in the wind and snow is a very dangerous activity.

Shuyue hopes that her mother Yanzhu can take care of herself and not fall into traps easily. At the same time, Shuyue will not take risks easily for the sake of her family.

But this winter is very special.

Some people spontaneously cleared the snow from the city to the main house of Shihodo, just to visit Shuyue.

The Sifangtang family should have been deserted.

Suddenly, they became a family that celebrities flocked to.

Just because of the game "Zero Town Ruins" which is set in the background of magicians.

The wind and snow cannot stop the magicians.

Even the high priest from Satakano came back to visit Shuyue.

This also led to the sequel to "Zero" being shelved.

Because Shuyue found them annoying.

Shuyue is as willful as ever.

The game was handed over to Sayuri Araki and Yui Kanda to write the screenplay, and he returned to the comics industry, bringing pain to the world to many of his peers.

Shuyue didn't insult anyone, but his choice silently told everyone that he was unhappy.
