"Do you still have the energy?"

Facing Akira Hayama's question, Kaguya Shinomiya gritted her teeth and nodded. Akira Hayama immediately grabbed the girl's still moving hands to prevent her from disturbing Kaguya Shinomiya.

"Hold her neck and bring her up."

The two men swam ashore with the girl. Shinomiya Kaguya sat down on the shore exhausted. She combed her long hair out of habit and found that her hair had come loose and was covered with mud from the pond. She didn't know when the hairband disappeared.

As soon as the rescued girl got ashore, she hugged her friend and cried non-stop. Shinomiya Kaguya felt upset when she heard it. Her clothes were all wet, and the rotten smell made her feel nauseous. She stood up and prepared to leave to change her clothes first.

"Shinomiya-san, is this yours?"

Akira Hayama's voice came from the side. Kaguya Shinomiya turned her head and saw that he was holding a spring in his hand. It was covered with mud and its original color could not be seen, but the familiar length told Kaguya Shinomiya that this was her headband.

"When I came up just now, I found this thing hanging on my collar. It should be yours, right?"

Kaguya Shinomiya snatched her hairband and left the scene without saying a word.

What an idiot! That girl is the daughter of the newspaper director, and the benefits of saving her are far greater than saving the boy. And after getting ashore, he turned back to help. Isn't he afraid of exhaustion? If it were me, I would stand on the shore and throw a rope over. It would ensure my own safety and make friends with the other party.

What disgusting kindness, and what a disgusting man!

Kaguya Shinomiya clenched her right fist and gripped her hairband tightly.

On the other side, Akira Yeyama had no idea what Kaguya Shinomiya was thinking, and he just shrugged his shoulders at her cold behavior. This kind of iceberg-type rich girl is like this. Anyway, he and she are from completely two different circles, and they will have no contact in the future, so there is no need to be angry.

The rescued boy was still coughing. Ye Shanming squatted in front of him and patted his back. He found that his muddy hair was faintly golden. After carefully identifying the dirty face, he found that it was Shirogane Yuxing.

"Shirogane, do you want me to take you to the school infirmary?"

After all, he was a colleague from the same class as himself, and he took on the task because both he and Long Zhutao gave up their responsibilities, Ye Shanming asked him kindly.

"Inspector Ye Shan, I'm fine."

Baiyin Yuxing coughed violently again, took a breath, and then continued, "I just choked."

"No need for such formal address, we are in the same grade, just call me Ye Shan."

Ye Shanming helped him up from the ground, a little curious about how he fell. When he first arrived, he wondered why he didn't see Baiyin Yuxing among the crowd.

"By the way, how did you fall?"

Hearing Ye Shanming's question, Baiyin Yuxing felt a little embarrassed: "Actually, when that girl fell, I forgot that I couldn't swim, so I jumped in to save her."

Ye Shanming was speechless after hearing this and could only forcefully comfort him: "This spirit is still very good."

The other rescued girl had been sent to the infirmary by her companions for examination. Ye Shanming looked at Baiyin Yuxing again and found that he was fine and had no injuries. He stood up and took off his wet coat. The shirt inside was also covered in mud and stuck to his body.

Fortunately, it is almost May now, and it is not very cold. It will dry quickly under the afternoon sunlight.

"Since you're okay, I'll go back first. This pond is really dirty. I need to take a bath quickly."

Ye Shanming smelled the smell on his body with some disgust, and at the same time he had to admire the students of Xiuzhiyuan. The pond was so smelly, but they could wait until now to clean it up.

"Hayama-san, wait a minute!"

Baiyin Yuxing quickly stopped him: "Why don't you just go to my house?"

"If it weren't for you, Ye Shan, saving me, I would be in danger today. At least come to my house for a simple meal so that I can express my gratitude."

Seeing Baiyin Yuxing's sincere words, Ye Shanming directly agreed to his proposal. It happened that he was short of money to start his own V circle emperor career, so why not save the money for a meal.

So Ye Shanming sat on the back of Shirogane Yuxing's bicycle and asked him to take him to Shirogane's house. The two men were filthy, with dirt on their faces and hair, and a pungent odor that attracted passers-by to avoid them. From time to time, some people took pictures of them and laughed harshly.

Baiyin Yuxing noticed these people and couldn't help but lower his head. He just pedaled the bicycle hard. The scene on the street passed by quickly from the corner of his eyes. The strong airflow blew on his wet body, making Ye Shanming shiver.

"Slow down! Are you a biker?!"

Ye Shanming slapped Baiyin Yuxing on the back and complained, and the latter slowed down his cycling. However, the passers-by's disgusted actions and sharp looks made Baiyin Yuxing wish he could get home in the next second.

"Hayama-san, I'd better ride faster. This is too embarrassing."

Shirogane Yuxing made another request to Ye Shanming, his tone full of panic, while Ye Shanming looked at the pedestrians on both sides with interest, and even posed in a handsome pose for the passers-by who were taking pictures.

"I ended up like this because I was trying to save someone from the pond. Please make me look handsome."

Seeing the photographer jogging up and chatting happily with Ye Shanming, Shirogane Yuxing was almost embarrassed to death.

This guy must be the legendary Sheniu. Help! This is so embarrassing!

Finally, they arrived at a remote path with not many passers-by. Baiyin Yuxing breathed a sigh of relief, and Ye Shanming's voice sounded from behind him.

"Mr. Shirogane, do you care about what others think?"

"Of course! Don't you find it bothersome to be treated as a weirdo?! You'll literally be socially dead!"

Baiyin Yuxing shouted without hesitation, and Ye Shanming couldn't help laughing. No wonder he felt that this kid was too restrained in the student union room this morning. So this is the case.

"You're too young, Xiao Yuxing! Why care about so many things in life? Just live your own life and make yourself happy!"

"You said exactly the same thing my dad said."

Baiyin Yuxing complained, "Also, I hate it most when people call me Xiao Yuxing!"

"Then it seems that your father and I have quite a lot in common, Yuxing!"

Ye Shanming smiled and patted his shoulder. Baiyin Yuxing said nothing, just pedaled his bicycle blindly, and wondered if his act of repaying the favor was too hasty.

Chapter 19: Bai Yingui, the head of the family.

"Hayama-san, we're here. This is my home."

Shirogane Yuxing's bicycle stopped in front of a dilapidated apartment. Ye Shanming took a closer look and couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for Shirogane Yuxing. He thought the place where he lived was already shabby enough, but he didn't expect there was a master here.

On the way, Shirogane Yuxing gave a brief introduction to his family situation. In addition to his father, he also lived with his younger sister Shirogane Kei who was in the first grade of junior high school. When Ye Shanming thought about the fact that three people were living in this apartment with an environment only slightly better than where he lived, he suddenly felt that his place was pretty good.

Walking through the corridor piled with debris, Baiyin Yuxing didn't bring his house key, so he went straight to the door and knocked. Ye Shanming was lying on the railing, looking at the scenery outside.

"Xiaogui, it's me, open the door!"

The door was opened unceremoniously, and a girl in a junior high school uniform stood barefoot at the entrance. Her long silver hair draped softly behind her back, and her delicate and childish face made her look like an elf. However, the girl's frown broke this feeling.

"Brother, didn't you go to work? This smell... so stinky. How did you get yourself so dirty?"

Bai Yingui stretched out his right hand and fanned his nose, his face wrinkled up, and he gave way in disgust, still complaining non-stop:

"Brother, you are also a high school student, can you be more mature? Are you rolling in the mud with the kids?"

Since Ye Shanming was still outside, Baiyin Yuxing felt very embarrassed and begged for mercy in a low voice.

"Xiao Gui, I'm back with my classmates. Can you please give me some face?"

After saying this, he pulled Ye Shanming, who was looking at the scenery, over and introduced him:

"This is the Student Council's Supervisory Committee Chairman, Akira Hayama. Hayama-san, this is my sister, Kei Shirogane. She might have a bad temper."

After listening to the two siblings' words, Ye Shanming forced himself to suppress the urge to laugh and stretched out his right hand towards Bai Yingui.

"Since this is our first meeting, just call me Ye Shan."

After hearing Shirogane Yuxing's evaluation of himself, Shirogane Kei, who was about to lecture him, could only glare at him because he wanted to show the Shirogane family's upbringing. Then he elegantly extended his hand and shook hands with Ye Shanming, his tone very gentle:

"Brother Ye Shan, just call me Xiao Gui. Thank you for taking care of me, your disappointing brother, at school."

"No, Yuxing is also a very good person in school."

Ye Shanming and Shirogane Kei exchanged politeness, took off their shoes and went to the living room. Shirogane Kei went to the kitchen to make tea, leaving Ye Shanming and Shirogane Yuxing alone in the living room. However, because the room was too small, they were actually only separated by a sliding door.

"Hayama-san, you should go take a shower first."

Baiyin Yuxing saw that Ye Shanming's wet clothes were clinging to his body, so he quickly took him to the bathroom: "If you want a change of clothes, my dad has a few clean sets of clothes that you can wear."

"Okay, I'll bother you then."

Warm water gushed out from the showerhead. Ye Shanming, who was finally able to take a hot bath, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The mist rose in the bathroom, and the hot water splashed on his body, washing away all the dried dirt.

"Brother Ye Shan, I put the clothes in the basket at the door."

Bai Yingui's voice came through the door, and Ye Shanming responded. After a moment, the stench on his body finally became inaudible, and he turned off the faucet with satisfaction.

He changed into the floral shirt and shorts prepared by Baiyin Gui, which should be Baiyin's father's clothes. He looked like a tourist going to Hawaii, while his own clothes had already been thrown into the washing machine.

After walking out of the bathroom, Ye Shanming, who had finally gotten rid of his sticky state, felt refreshed. The two brothers and sisters, Shirogane and Shirogane, were doing their homework at the table in the living room. When they saw Ye Shanming coming out, Shirogane Yuxing immediately rushed into the bathroom, which attracted Shirogane Kei's dissatisfied look.

"You're so old and still so impulsive, brother, when will you grow up?"

"Yes, I won't do that next time."

After being scolded by his sister, Baiyin Yuxing was like an eggplant hit by frost, and went into the bathroom in dejection.

Ye Shanming sat on the ground, watching the interesting interaction between the two siblings, feeling funny. At the same time, he deeply felt that the top of the food chain in the Baiyin family belonged to Baiyin Gui.

After scolding Shirogane Miyuki, Shirogane Kei continued to do his homework. Hayama Akira drank hot tea and did not disturb her. He took out his mobile phone and scrolled through the news to see what stupid pictures the fans of Magical Girl Merry had made recently.

"Brother Ye Shan, I don't quite understand this question. Can you help me take a look?"

Bai Yingui seemed to have encountered some difficulties, with a frown on his face, and could only seek help from Ye Shanming who was sitting opposite him.

In Bai Yingui's eyes, since Ye Shanming is a friend brought home by his brother, they must have a very good relationship. He is also a member of the student union, so his grades must be very good.

Ye Shanming took her book and took a look at the difficult question. It involved some knowledge points of the second grade of junior high school. No wonder she found it difficult. He took out a pen and paper from his schoolbag and explained it to her in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Soon Bai Yingui suddenly understood.

Shirogane Miyuki soon finished his shower and continued to do his homework. Influenced by the atmosphere of the Shirogane brothers and sisters, he simply took out the textbooks from his schoolbag to preview tomorrow's lessons. He had finished his homework when he was teaching Ji Karen to draw, and those difficult problems were not challenging at all for him now.

Starting from that difficult problem, no matter what subject he was in, whenever he encountered a difficult problem, Bai Yingui would ask him for help, and Ye Shanming would always try to explain it in a simple and easy-to-understand way. He had a very good impression of Bai Yingui, who was smart, studious, and sensible. No adult would dislike such a child.

Time passed by unknowingly, and the sky outside the window had darkened. Ye Shanming stretched to loosen his sore neck. Reading for an entire afternoon made his body a little stiff.

"Children, your dear old father is back!"

The door was opened rudely. Although the voice was mature and had a certain magnetic quality, it still gave people a feeling of being out of tune.

Bai Yingui frowned first and ran to the entrance barefoot. A middle-aged man wearing a coat and a top hat on his head immediately put down the plastic bag in his hand and opened his arms when he saw Bai Yingui coming out.

"My dear daughter, give me a welcome home hug!"

"Do you know that opening the door like this will damage it? Then you'll have to spend a lot of money to replace it!"

Bai Yingui's ruthless scolding made the middle-aged father freeze in place, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Isn't this joyful?"

But Bai Yingui did not simply let him go, but continued to criticize him:

"And I've already told you on Line, right? We have guests at home. If you act like this, they might think this is the family tradition of our Baiyin family. Can you please pay attention to your image?"

"I'm so sorry, I won't do it again next time!"

Bai Yin's father bowed solemnly to his daughter with quite skilled movements, obviously it was not the first or second time. Bai Yin Gui covered his forehead with his hands as if he had a headache, picked up the plastic bag on the ground and walked towards the kitchen.

"You should go and entertain the guests first. Remember to be more reserved and don't let your brother's classmates think that our family is full of weird people who don't know etiquette!"

Chapter 20 I'm so excited.

"This must be Mr. Yeshan, right? Nice to meet you."

As Baiyin's father entered the living room, he smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket, took one out of his mouth, and handed one to Ye Shanming.

"I've heard everything. Thank you for saving my son. Would you like a cigarette?"

This unusually familiar action made Ye Shanming feel like he was back in his past life. He took the cigarette as usual and tried to take out his lighter, but found nothing. Seeing this, Baiyin's father immediately took out his lighter:

"Come, I have a fire."

Baiyin Yuxing, who was standing by, was stunned by the actions of the two men. Baiyin Gui, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, felt his fist harden. He walked out quickly and punched Baiyin's father on the head without any hesitation.

"You bastard, don't induce minors to smoke!"

"Don't just stand there, stupid brother! Keep an eye on him!"

Bai Yingui mercilessly took away the lighter and cigarettes and returned to the kitchen to work. Bai Yin's father touched the back of his head awkwardly and sighed:

"It's really hard to deal with a daughter during her rebellious period. Brother Ye Shan, don't be so reserved. Just treat this as your own home."

"After seeing Xiaogui's message, I went straight to buy some good food and two bottles of sake. We're going to have a good drink tonight."

"This is not good."

After all, he is still a minor, so Ye Shanming can only refuse. However, Baiyin's father's behavior reminded him of the uncle downstairs in his previous life, and the distance between them was instantly shortened.

"This sake is 8,000 yen a bottle. It's very rare."

Baiyin's father whispered in Ye Shanming's ear, tempting him: "Brother Ye Shan, a minor like you can't buy it even if you want to."

"Hmm... then have a couple of drinks?"
