Zongman: The Qilin Child of Xuanyuan Family

at the dinner table,

Yoshida Saki and Mrs. Yoshida ate dinner quietly. As the only male in the family, Yoshida Yu would occasionally flip through the newspaper in his hand to learn about the current national situation.

"Mom...can you teach me how to put on makeup?" After dinner, Yoshida Saki nervously asked Mrs. Yoshida.

Mrs. Yoshida always wears light makeup at home. Even with light makeup, she can be considered a 70% beauty.

Looking at her mother and thinking of the sunny and confident Xuanyuan Ning, Yoshida Saki wanted to change herself.

Yoshida Saki doesn't know what kind of herself she is, but she shouldn't be such a dark and otaku girl.

At least...she has to stand in Xuanyuan Ning's perspective and think that he wouldn't mind being friends with her.

Mrs. Yoshida was stunned. She didn't expect Yoshida Saki to propose such an idea to her.

Yoshida Yu, who was flipping through the newspaper, paused after hearing Yoshida Saki's words, and then continued to flip through the newspaper.

Yoshida Yu's tacit attitude made Mrs. Yoshida understand her husband's thoughts, and she immediately nodded to Yoshida Saki: "No problem, Saki."

After washing the dishes with his mother, Yoshida Saki looked at Mrs. Yoshida with anticipation.

Seeing her daughter's impatience, Mrs. Yoshida wiped her wet hands on her kitchen apron and said, "Come on, Saki. Mommy will teach you how to put on makeup."

......

"Is this me, Mom?"

Yoshida Saki sat on the chair in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror with light makeup on. She turned her head confusedly to look at Mrs. Yoshida who was smiling at her from behind.

Yoshida Saki in the mirror,

The two braids had been untied and tidied up by Mrs. Yoshida, and the black-framed glasses welded to her face had been taken off, replaced by a pair of large eyes that were no longer lifeless but blank.

Her long hair was spread out neatly behind her, and the beauty that was sealed by the black-framed glasses was revealed at this moment.

Yoshida Saki's original dark and gloomy image of a otaku has disappeared, replaced by the image of a good girl who looks like a good child.

The difference between the two was so great that Yoshida Saki found it hard to believe.

Is that girl in the mirror me?

"Of course it's Sakura. My baby girl is very cute."

Mrs. Yoshida found a lighter lipstick from the makeup cabinet and lowered her head to carefully apply lipstick on Yoshida Saki's light pink lips.

"Saki, learn from your mother and purse your lips." Mrs. Yoshida put lipstick on Yoshida Saki and made a pursed lips gesture to her daughter.

Yoshida Saki imitated Mrs. Yoshida and pursed her lips.

"Even cuter, Saki."

After putting the lipstick back into the dressing table, Mrs. Yoshida turned Yoshida Saki's head back to the mirror on the dressing table, put her hands on Yoshida Saki's shoulders and praised her child.

Light-colored lipstick does not make Yoshida Saki stand out, but instead adds a sense of pure beauty to the girl.

Looking at Yoshida Saki smiling in the mirror, Mrs. Yoshida also started smiling.

It's a good thing that Yoshida Saki has finally started to pay attention to her image.

"thanks Mom."

Raising her hand and touching her face, Yoshida Saki saw the strange girl in the mirror also looking up and touching her face, only then did she confirm that the girl in the mirror was indeed herself.

Looking at the different self in the mirror, Yoshida Saki was not sure if this was what she wanted.

But there was one thing she was sure of, that was that she finally had the courage to reply to Xuanyuan Ning's message.

A small change brought the girl a different kind of courage.

Chapter 157 Recognition from Friends

"Mom, I'm done!"

After dinner, Goto Ichiri put the dishes on the table, greeted Goto Michiyo, and then rushed to his room.

"What's wrong with this kid today?"

Goto Michiyo looked at Goto Ichiri with a puzzled look until he completely disappeared from her sight. Then she turned to look at her husband and asked worriedly.

When questioned by his wife, Naoki Goto was not as worried as Michiyo Goto. He passed his saury to Jiri Goto and said: "The child has grown up and has his own ideas."

As a retired guitarist, Naoki Goto thinks that Goto Ichiri's behavior of finishing his meal quickly is a very normal thing.

Whether it is a light novel, guitar, or other creations, inspiration is needed.

Inspiration is something so mysterious that it is hard to understand.

You have no idea when it will come or when it will leave, so you can only try to record it while it is still there.

The reason why Goto Ichiri was so anxious was probably because the child had some creative inspiration.

Naoki Goto, who personally led Ichiri Goto on the path of becoming a guitarist, is accustomed to this kind of thing.

"Thank you, Dad!" Goto Jiri ate the saury that Goto Naoki picked for him in small bites.

Unlike Goto Naoki's guess, Goto Jiri felt that the reason why his sister was so anxious today might be because she had her first new friend.

Or you might be making a new friend who also loves guitar, so you can’t wait to share your guitar playing with him/her.

"Eri, why did you come back with your sister today?" Goto Michiyo didn't dwell too much on Goto Ichiri, but instead turned her attention to Goto Erri.

The school that Goto Jiri and Nishimiya Yuzuru attend is not far from their home. In the past, the two little lolis always went home together. If Nishimiya Yuzuru has something to do, it is common for Goto Jiri to go home alone.

Because it was only a few steps away, Goto Naoki and Goto Michiyo were not worried that Goto Jiri would get lost.

But today, Goto Jiri went to Sobu High School to find Goto Ichiri, and this matter became a bigger deal.

Sobu High School is quite a distance from their home. Goto Jiri, a little kid, had to walk such a long way to pick up Goto Ichiri. The couple was worried no matter how they saw it.

"Brother Xuanyuan took me there, and Yuzuru and Sister Glass went with him." After swallowing the saury in his mouth, Goto Jiri explained to Goto Michiyo.

"Brother Xuanyuan? Is he the one who treated Erli to cake last time and even packed a portion for him?"

Goto Naoki recalled who the Xuanyuan brother that Goto Jiri mentioned was, and then confirmed with Goto Jiri.

"Uh-huh!"

"Is that so? That's fine. If there's a chance in the future, please invite Xuanyuan to your home."

Seeing that Goto Jiri did not go to Sobu High School alone to pick up Goto Ichiri, the Goto couple felt relieved.

As for Brother Xuanyuan, whom Goto Jiri mentioned, when Goto Jiri took the packed dessert home for the first time, Goto Michiyo visited the Nishimiya family that night and asked about Xuanyuan Ning.

After learning from Nishimiya Yaeko about Xuanyuan Ning and some of the things he had done for the Nishimiya family, they finally felt relieved.

After learning that Goto Jiri had offered to lead Nishimiya Yuzuru and Nishimiya Shoko to Sobu High School, and that Nishimiya Yaeko thanked their family, Goto Michiyo no longer paid attention to this matter.

In the dark room,

The rhythmic sound of the guitar rang out in this medium-sized space, and Goto Ichiri's slender fingers plucked the strings frantically.

The girl wearing headphones was completely immersed in her own world, feeling the satisfaction that the music brought her.

After the song was finished, Goto Ichiri subconsciously uploaded the recorded audio to the Guitar Hero blog.

Goto Ichiri paused his finger as it was about to click, opened his Line on the computer, and looked at the chat box on the computer screen that was full of chat records with Xuanyuan Ning.

This is my first friend who likes guitar...how about...send it to him first?

Let Xuanyuan Ning listen to it first and give me some suggestions, and then I will upload it to Guitar Hero.

Goto Ichiri, who has been wandering alone for the first half of his life, wants to show off his power in front of his first friend.

Goto Ichiri hesitated.

She wanted to show off in front of Xuanyuan Ning, but was also afraid that if Xuanyuan Ning followed Guitar Hero, then when she uploaded the audio to the blog for the second time, her identity would be exposed.

It would be fine if it was any other nice name, but Guitar Hero...that's so embarrassing.

Ugh...why did I choose such a childish name...

Ah! My divine presence before the people... This is the opportunity I've been waiting for so long to show myself before the people...

Goto Ichiri, who was overly worried, collapsed on the computer desk with his face tilted to the side, and a white ghost seemed to be coming out of his mouth.

Really... I really want to show off...

It would be so cool to let my friends know that I’m a blogger or something...

But...it's such a shameful name...

With the sound of clicking the mouse, Goto Ichiri suddenly sat up: "Ahhh, Erli, what are you doing..."

Looking at the big words "File Accepted" in the chat box, Goto Ichiri, knowing that there was no return, collapsed like mud and lay back on the ground as if it was about to melt.

"Help your sister send the documents. Let Erli handle your sister's indecision." Goto Erli stood in front of Goto Ichiri who was lying on the floor, put his hands on his hips and said to his sister in a proud tone.

While Goto Ichiri was still hesitating, Goto Jiri quietly opened the door a crack and began to pay attention to his sister's situation.

Seeing that Goto Ichiri was unable to make a decision, Goto Jiri took the initiative to make a decision for her sister and thoughtfully helped her sister send the audio she had just recorded to Xuanyuan Ning.

An older sister who worries her younger sister, and a younger sister who is considerate and caring towards her older sister.

Ugh... I want to die... I want to die so much... I haven't listened to it again to check if there are any mistakes...

I haven't said hello to Xuanyuan Ning yet...

Just send the audio to the other person like this...they will definitely think that I am showing off...they will definitely think so...

As Goto Ichiri fantasized deeply, the following scene appeared in the girl's mind.

"Goto-san, you're really shameless! We just met and you're already so eager to show off your guitar skills?"

Xuanyuan Ning, a top-tier current player, looked down at himself who was trembling with contempt.

He also played the audio file he sent to the other party on a loop throughout the school, letting all the students in Sobu High School know that he was an ignorant guy.

So...so scary...I'm gonna...die...

I will die...

I will definitely die...

Goto Ichiri held his head in his hands, his eyes gradually becoming dull, as if he had already begun to experience what was about to happen tomorrow.

"Sister, Brother Xuanyuan has replied to you." Noticing the flashing line message on the computer screen, Goto Jiri reminded Goto Ichiri.

Seeing that Goto Ichiri was too deeply immersed in his own fantasy, Goto Jiri raised his voice a little: "Sister!"

"I'm here!" With the addition of Goto Jiri, Goto Ichiri quickly came out of the fantasy, but his eyes were completely empty.

"Sister, Brother Xuanyuan has replied to your message." Goto Jiri repeated what he had just said.

"Ah...replying to me?"

Under Goto Jiri's gaze, Goto Ichiri stretched out his hand tremblingly and moved the mouse towards the flashing message point.

No matter how hard you try, you will die sooner or later.

Goto Ichiri clicked on the Line message from Xuanyuan Ning as if he was ready to die.

Xuanyuan Ning: Goto-san, you play the piano very well.

His eyes gradually widened as Goto Ichiri stared at Xuanyuan Ning's praise of him on the computer screen.

Am I...recognized by my friends?

Chapter 158 As Long as You Open Your Mouth

"Lao Ning, do you want a maid?"

"As long as you open your mouth..."

"As long as I ask, Hachiman, will you send the maid to me later?" Xuanyuan Ning, who was tutoring Kato Megumi in her homework, glanced at Hikigaya Hachiman who was making a meme, and took over the other's meme.

Ga...

Hearing Xuanyuan Ning's words, Hikigaya Hachiman's face turned red, like a goose with its neck strangled.

Yesterday after school, when everyone in the service club was walking out of the school gate, Hikigaya Hachiman happened to meet his sister Hikigaya Komachi and a boy who looked rather dull.

As a die-hard sister-con, Hikigaya Hachiman got furious on the spot, grabbed the boy by the collar, and was about to beat up the "little yellow-haired boy" who tried to "kidnap" Hikigaya Komachi.

Fortunately, Hikigaya Komachi stopped it in time, and many people outside the school gate were paying attention to this side, which prevented Hikigaya Hachiman's fist from falling.
