"Great!" Goto Ichiri smiled.
"I've solved one, so the remaining four... I've got them. I'll go sell them to Dad, Mom, and my sister... Hmm, I'll buy one for Jimiheng (the family's dog) too."
Wait a minute! My sister is too young to get into a music bar, but does the puppy really need a ticket?
At that moment, Hayasaka Ai suddenly appeared in front of Goto Ichiri.
"Little Lonely, remember to save me a copy, okay? I'll come with Ling Jun to watch your performance."
Angel!!!
In that instant, Xiao Gudu forgot about how the other person had taught her to be a maid. Hayasaka-san was so kind!
Hayasaka Ai: This band is full of pretty girls, I have to stick close to Uchiha Ryo! Hmph~
After leaving the Starlight Bar, Hayasaka Ai stretched.
"By the way, Ling Jun, I have two things I'd like to tell you."
Uchiha Ryo: "What?"
Hayasaka Ai took out a poster. "Toyonosaki probably hasn't notified us yet, but Shuchiin is planning to hold a joint competition between the two schools for next week's sports festival. The sports meet will be held at Shuchiin."
Uchiha Ryo: "Is that so? Then I won't be able to go back for another two weeks, so I'll be part of Toyonosaki's team for now?"
Hayasaka Ai nodded regretfully, "So we're enemies now~ Don't underestimate our Class 1-A of Shuchiin."
Sports meets... In Uchiha Ryo's memory, sports meets are just running competitions. Should he win by crushing the competition, or pretend to win by barely managing, or pretend first and then make a comeback to win?
And as an exchange student, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for me to win against Shuchiin on behalf of Toyosaki? Oh well, Miyuki Shirogane! As a friend, I won't hold back.
Hayasaka Ai's expression suddenly turned serious.
"Next is the second matter. Because when Young Master Yunying was absorbing Young Master Huang Guang's forces, he discovered quite a few of the disgraceful things that Huang Guang had done in the past. Among them..."
Miyuki Shirogane's father, Dior Shirogane, had run a factory for twenty years, but because the factory blocked the business of Koukou Shinomiya, it was secretly brought to bankruptcy, and Dior Shirogane also incurred a large debt.
Shinomiya Huangguang then took over the factory of Baiyin Dior and brought it under his own company. After hearing that Baiyin Yuxing was your friend, Young Master Yunying contacted me specifically to tell you about this.
Hayasaka Ai: "Furthermore, you can return Shirogane's father's factory if you just nod your head."
Uchiha Ryo: "I see..."
The Bai family actually had a tough time. The two siblings worked part-time to supplement the family income and support their studies. Bai's father was also burdened by debts from years ago and the departure of his wife, and he was unable to recover.
The main problem is that the brother and sister can only share one room, with just a curtain separating them.
How can this be allowed! What if it harms our little Gui's physical and mental health? What if Shirogane Miyuki, that study fanatic, turns our optimistic and cheerful little Gui into a study maniac like that?
No no no!
"I'll visit the Shirogane family tomorrow; after all, Shirogane Miyuki is my friend!"
Hayasaka Ai smiled; she knew she hadn't been wrong, Uchiha Ryo really was gentle.
.....
The next morning, Uchiha Rin stood at the door of the Shirogane residence and gently knocked. Shirogane Miyuki, with dark circles under his eyes, opened the door.
"Ah...it's the Uchiha clan. Come in."
Uchiha Ryo: "What's wrong with you, looking like you're about to die?"
Miyuki Shirogane sighed, "I don't want to either, but lately I've been preparing for exams and the student council president's speech, and I'm severely sleep-deprived..."
Uchiha Ryo didn't say anything, but simply patted Shirogane Miyuki on the shoulder reassuringly.
If you die suddenly, I will raise your sister. This statement has always held true, and Uchiha Ryo is hoping... cough cough, but I don't want that day to actually come.
"Why don't you go back to sleep? Is Uncle Shirogane there?"
Shirogane Miyuki: "Ah, he's inside. Go find him yourself."
Following Shirogane Miyuki into the living room, Shirogane Kei was sitting there doing his homework.
"Ah, it's Brother Ling! Brother, why didn't you tidy up the living room or get a cushion for the guest?"
Shirogane Miyuki: "..."
Uchiha Ryo: "It's alright, Kei. Your older brother's been practically dying lately, let him get some rest. Speaking of which, Uncle Shirogane's inside, right? I came here today to see him."
The door to the inner room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man who looked even more stylish than Shirogane Miyuki came out.
"Hey Miyuki's friend, come in and talk to me if you need anything. Miyuki, you seem a bit tired lately, go and get some rest."
Shirogane Miyuki yawned. "Ah... I'll go back and get some sleep."
Following Shirogane's father into the inner room, he saw the man pull over a chair and pour Uchiha Rin a cup of tea.
"Your name is Uchiha Ryo, right? Since you're one of Miyuki's few friends, I'll just call you Ryo."
Silver's father: "So, is this a marriage proposal? Xiao Gui is still young, and I won't agree to it right now."
Uchiha Ryo's eye twitched. "Um... Uncle Shirogane, this isn't Kei's business."
Shirogane's father was taken aback. "It's actually Yuuki-chan. This... the world is so big, I need to think about it."
Uchiha Ryo: "Uncle Shirogane..."
"Haha, just kidding. If you have something you want to talk to me about privately, just say so."
Uchiha Ryo breathed a sigh of relief. "It's like this, Uncle Shirogane, about your factory..."
After a brief silence, Baiyin's father closed his eyes and pondered.
"I know it was the Shinomiya family who did it. How should I put it? Although I hated the Shinomiya family so much at the time for almost destroying my family, now... I've figured it out."
Shirogane's father: "It's also my fault for being too arrogant back then. I didn't know how to be steady and pragmatic. I became arrogant as soon as I achieved some success, and I didn't take the warnings from the Shinomiya family seriously."
"It's good to fail once; it's a learning experience. At least Yuyuki won't make the same mistake again in the future."
Uchiha Ryo: "So, Uncle Shirogane, you can now take back your factory, as for the Shinomiya family..."
Silver's father shook his head.
"I'm sorry, although I also want to provide a better environment for Miyuki and Kei, I'm afraid I don't want to accept the Shinomiya family's charity that came almost twenty years ago. Whether it was right or wrong back then, it's all in the past."
Uchiha Ryo fell silent, while Shirogane's father laughed.
Silver's father: "A person's abilities are ultimately limited. I have learned a lot from my short life. The more arrogant and manipulative a person is, the more likely they are to fail."
"Consider this a painful lesson for me. My life is pretty good now. I want to get back to where I was before on my own, not through the apology from the Shinomiya family."
