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

If she knew what Youxi had said to Gao Yumo, she probably wouldn't have felt so bad, but would have just blushed.

"Behind." That's what Yuki told Gao Yumo.

Chestnut, who was eating red bean rice next to her, almost choked. She learned something she didn't know before and was greatly shocked! Is it possible there too?

Yukino asked Nanami, who was standing next to her, what Kotori and Otonokizaka Academy were, and Nanami explained them to her.

Yukino nodded. She had read the manga. So that's how it is. There's such a thing. After she read it, Gao Yumo didn't explain it to her. He probably wanted to see her surprised. She was indeed quite surprised now.

Yang Nai arrived late, rubbing her eyes and yawning as she walked into the restaurant.

Gao Yumo quickly went over to support her, afraid that she would fall. Last night was very late, after all, Gao Yumo's 0.1 stamina was getting better and better, and Yang Nai was not giving up either. If she hadn't given her a bottle of healing potion in the morning, she probably wouldn't be able to stand up now.

"I told you to sleep a little longer, didn't I leave you a note?"

"Hehe, I just wanted to come and see what you guys are eating." Yang Nai leaned against Gao Yumo, making intimate contact in front of the girls, wondering how they would react.

Surprisingly, Yukino reacted the most, glaring at herself, while the other girls just smiled at her and Gao Yumo without saying anything.

“They won’t be jealous or anything. On the contrary, they’ll wish you well. After all, it’s your first time, and they know I treat everyone equally. If you can do this, they can too, so they won’t react.” Gao Yumo whispered in her ear, clearly having understood her meaning.

Yang Nai blushed; it was still a little embarrassing to be discovered like this, even for her, but she quickly recovered.

Gao Yumo helped her to her seat and she started eating her red bean rice. It was delicious!

(I wonder if this level of quality will pass the review? I hope so.)

Chapter 178 Ayano: You won't even spare me? (3rd update)

"Aren't you going to eat something before you leave?" Gao Yumo looked at Ayano who came to pick him up. Breakfast time was over, and the girls had all gone to do their own things. He wasn't taking them today, but he had promised Yuki that he would at least take Umaru and Yuki when Kotori and the others performed on stage for the first time.

"I've already eaten, but I can have a little more. What did you make today?" Ayano thought for a moment. It would be nice to eat a little more. It would be good to try Gao Yumo's cooking. After all, it was so delicious that she couldn't forget it. Sometimes when she ate at home, she would think how wonderful it would be if she could eat Yumo's cooking every day. Every time she thought of this, she would lose her appetite when she looked at the food in front of her.

Red bean rice.

"Red bean rice!?" Ayano immediately realized what was going on, then winked at Takayuki and asked, "Who is it? With whom? No wonder he's a young master who lives with so many girls."

"Guess?" Gao Yumo looked at her with a smile.

Ayano lowered her head and thought for a moment, feeling that anything was possible. How could she possibly guess?

"Um, how about we rule out those who have already done it? You can't be a first-timer, right?" Ayano said, winking at Takayuki.

"Yuki and Sakura."

"Only two? You can't do that." Ayano said, noticing that Gao Yumo's face darkened.

"Then don't leave tonight. I'll show you what I'm capable of." Gao Yumo pinched his fingers, leaned close to Ayano, looked into her eyes, and curled up his lips.

Ayano quickly waved her hand: "No, I'm busy today."

"So you mean it's okay if I'm not busy next time?" Gao Yumo said with a strange expression. Ayano also realized what was going on, blushed, and glared at Gao Yumo.

"That won't work either! 02"

"Hehehe." Gao Yumo chuckled. Ayano had been tricked by him and was able to give such a reply.

The two went to the kitchen, where Gao Yumo heated up some red bean rice for her, while Ayano sat in her seat, wondering who it might be.

"Did you guess it?" When Gao Yumo brought out the red bean rice and placed it in front of her, she still hadn't guessed it, since there really wasn't a single clue.

"Give me some clues too," Ayano said, looking troubled.

“You didn’t ask.” Gao Yumo shrugged. “I haven’t been here long, and this is the only hint I got. Okay, let’s eat and think about it.”

"Mmm." Ayano nodded, picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, and her eyes lit up. "Delicious!"

"Of course, look who made it." Gao Yumo said with a smile as he sat down next to her. He was always happy when his cooking was praised for being delicious.

"I wish I could eat this every day." Ayano sighed. She didn't mean anything by it; she was just thinking about the meals she usually ate at work and at home. She took another bite of the red bean rice in her bowl. Even though there was no meat or vegetables this time, it tasted much better than what she usually ate.

Gao Yumo understood that Ayano didn't mean anything by it, otherwise she would have said it directly given her personality. But she still smiled and said, "Why don't you stay at my place? You can eat with us all the time. You live alone anyway, right? How about it? Interested?"

Ayano rolled her eyes, took another bite, and then said, "Young Master, you're not even sparing me."

Then she saw Gao Yumo's smile and realized that although he spoke lightly, he was actually serious!

"Are you still really interested in me?" Ayano asked in surprise.

Now it was Gao Yumo's turn to be at a loss for words: "Why would you think I'm not interested in you, my beautiful editor?"

"I just didn't expect it." Ayano shook her head. "After all, compared to the girls in your family, I'm pretty ordinary, aren't I?"

"I never thought my editor would have moments of insecurity?" Gao Yumo ruffled Ayano's hair upon hearing this, only to be glared at by Ayano. Gao Yumo just smiled despite the glare. "To me, my editor is anything but ordinary. Who wouldn't love a beautiful editor who has helped me so much?"

"Okay, you know how to talk. I agree, but I have a lot of stuff at home, so I might have to call a moving company." Ayano nodded in agreement to stay at Takayu Mo's house. Anyway, she drives to the company, and the distance between Takayu Mo's house and her own house is not much different.

And she'll be able to eat Gao Yumo's cooking from now on, and she'll be able to see his comics as soon as they're released! She learned a lot about Gao Yumo's secrets while chatting with the girls on the app. He actually drew so many new comics behind her back, and she didn't know a thing about them.

However, the girls didn't seem to know where it was either. They only knew there was a new comic book. Gao Yumo had hidden his comic book. Ayano decided that since she was moving here, she should look for it properly! She didn't believe she couldn't find one!

"I'm glad you agree." Gao Yumo smiled, in a very good mood.

"Actually, I should have guessed it sooner. You've already added me to your group called 'We're a Loving Family,' how could you not have feelings for me?" Ayano was only now realizing it belatedly. She hadn't even realized it before, and it was only after Gao Yumo confessed to her that she came to her senses.

"Hehe." Gao Yumo didn't answer, she just chuckled foolishly.

But Ayano knew he had been waiting all along, just waiting for her to say something like that so he could take the opportunity to invite her, right? Knowing Gao Yumo as she did, that was definitely what he was thinking!

Ayano finished eating quickly and took the napkin handed to her by Takayu Mo to wipe her mouth.

“We can set off now,” she said.

Gao Yumo nodded: "No problem. By the way, I'll let you taste my improved cooking skills when I get back today."

"Great! I've seen the girls talk about it in the group chat, and I've been wanting to try it for a while now. I'm already looking forward to it." Ayano's eyes lit up; she's also the type who loves sweets.

"Look forward to it," Gao Yumo said with a smile.

The two finally set off for Otonokizaka Academy.

Ayano spoke again in the car, "You still haven't said who it was last night."

"Yukino Yukinoshita, you should have met her before, the girl who just moved into my house this week."

"It was her?" Ayano was completely taken aback. After all, she didn't have a strong impression of Yukinoshita Haruno, so she never considered the possibility that it was her. However, she had indeed seen her speak in the group chat, and her impression of her was that she was a very shrewd girl. Ayano thought that she definitely couldn't handle someone like her.

And there's also a Yukino Yukinoshita in the group, who must be her sister. It's amazing that she can be with both sisters. Mo is really something.

After the Yukino sisters came to Takaha Shimizu's house, Ayano came once, but she only saw Haruno and not Yukino. However, she will definitely see and get to know Yukino when she goes home today, and they will become more and more familiar with each other in the future.

"I knew you wouldn't guess," Gao Yumo said with a smile. Ayano slapped him, clearly enjoying the laugh.

"Drive carefully," Gao Yumo quickly said. If you want to play around, you should get out of the car. Although he wasn't afraid, he was worried that Ayano might hit someone.

"You just wait!" Ayano said fiercely. She had only met the girl once. How could anyone guess who Gao Yumo was?

"It's been a week since I last came here, and I'm back again." Gao Yumo said as she got out of the car and looked at the teaching building of Otonokizaka Academy.

"Today, I mainly want to check on their rehearsal and see if I can find the remaining girls from your manga who you think might join their Muse, and ask them some questions," Ayano said, explaining today's plan. Takayu Mo nodded in agreement.

At the school gate, it was the same five people as last week: Kotori and her two friends, and the student council duo. They looked like they had been waiting for a while. Ayano had contacted them before leaving, so it was probably Enoka who urged the others to hurry up and wait.

"Good morning! Mo-kun and Ayano-san!" Enoka ran over quickly after seeing them.

"Don't rush, Little Fruit!" The little bird watched her run and tried to stop her but couldn't, and didn't even worry about her falling.

The remaining people also walked towards Gao Yumo and the others, and Xiao Niao quickly followed Hui Naiguo.

Hui Naiguo had already run up to them quickly.

"Good morning, Hui Naiguo, have you had breakfast?" Gao Yumo greeted her, using the most common and straightforward way of greeting her, asking if she had eaten.

"I ate it, it was delicious!" Hui Naiguo is full of energy every day, and seeing her makes Gao Yumo feel energetic too, as if she has been healed.

"Hello everyone." He greeted the others as well. "I'm here again. Thank you for your help, especially the two of you."

He looked at Ayase Eli and Tojo Nozomi. Kotori and the others didn't think he was a nuisance; on the contrary, they hoped he would come more often. They chatted in their group every day, and the most talked about topic was Enoka. She asked Takayuki every day when he could come to their school again.

These two are the ones who might find him troublesome, or rather, it's just Ayase Eli who might think so. Tojo Nozomi was originally on Kotori and the others' side, so to Ayase Eli, she's a traitor, though of course she doesn't know that.

"It's no trouble at all. You're helping our academy in your own way, aren't you? We're the ones troubling you." Ayase Eli said very seriously. After returning home, she thought about it a lot, read Gao Yumo's comics, read the online reviews of Gao Yumo, and reviewed her live drawing session last time.

She now has a lot of confidence in Gao Yumo. The last point is just her pride as the student council president of Otonokizaka Academy. She wants to rely on herself, but she can no longer deny that Gao Yumo is genuinely helping them in his way.

"Alright, no need to be so polite, it's no trouble at all." Gao Yumo smiled and shook her head. If this continues, it will never end. Let's just go into the school. "Okay, shall we go in? Let's not talk for so long at the gate like last time."

“Yes, let’s go then, we can talk as we walk.” Ayase Eli nodded and led everyone back into the school, while Enoka stayed close to Takahata Momo, chatting with him.

Seeing this, Haiwei wanted to pull her away, since Hui Naiguo was being too clingy. But seeing that Mo Jun and Hui Naiguo seemed to be having a good chat, she felt there was no need to pull her away. Not knowing what to do, she could only follow along, glancing at Hui Naiguo and Gao Yumo from time to time. Hui Naiguo had caused her and Xiao Niao a lot of trouble lately, so she had to keep an eye on her!

Chapter 179 Revisiting Otonokizaka Academy (1st Update)

"It's Sunday today, are there any other students at school?" Gao Yumo asked Ayase Eli curiously.

“Maybe, why? Students aren’t completely prohibited from coming to school on weekends,” Ayase Eli replied.

"I was just thinking about whether it was possible to meet a girl who could become your companion," Gao Yumo said with a smile.

"It's them, not us. I haven't agreed yet, and I still need to see how they perform!" Ayase Eli immediately retorted, but Gao Yumo just smiled at her, clearly not listening. She glared at Gao Yumo in anger, but given the personality she was showing in front of Kotori and the others, she wouldn't say anything more.

"I think it will happen," she could only say in the end, and then ignored Gao Yumo.

"Eri-senpai, stop struggling and join us!" Upon hearing this, Enoka immediately moved closer to Ayase Eri. During this time, Enoka had been bothering the other classmates who were drawn in the manga by Takaha Mo. Now that she knew who would join them, she wanted to bring them into their muse group in advance.

So Kotori and Umi have been following her around these past few days, afraid that she might annoy the other students and make them dislike them or stop joining them. They want to prove with their actions that they can contribute to the survival of the school and make the other students willingly join them.

Hui Naiguo actually knew all this, but she just wanted to give it a try, maybe she would succeed? That's why Umi and Kotori have been following her around these past few days, afraid that she would mess up Gao Yumo's plans.

Mo Jun must have his own plan, Hai Wei thought. Although she didn't know exactly what it was, she was sure he had one. She could sense it, and it was definitely a plan to help them. Although she felt embarrassed that Mo Jun had helped them so much, he had already laid out a plan for them.

But given her personality, she couldn't bring herself to tell Mo Jun that he shouldn't carry out his plan and that they could rely on themselves. Although she had thought about it, she couldn't bring herself to say it. However, she had talked to Xiao Niao about it, and Xiao Niao told her that she had also noticed it, but she still couldn't say it, since it was Mo Jun's help to them.

They felt bad agreeing, but they also felt bad refusing, and they couldn't bring themselves to say it. In the end, they could only keep an eye on Hui Naiguo to prevent her from ruining Mo Jun's plan, and then wait and see what Mo Jun's plan was.

"Let's talk about it after the performance in a couple of days! I'll see for myself then whether you've really worked as hard as you say you have!" Ayase Eli said coldly, and Enoka nodded with a smile.

"Then look forward to it, Eri-senpai! We're sure to impress you!" Enoka's smile was infectious. Eri looked at her smile and almost agreed on the spot, but she still wanted to see their performance first!

She did see their efforts, but sometimes hard work doesn't guarantee success, she thought.

The four of them huddled together, and Gao Yumo walked over to Tojo Nozomi and chatted with her quietly.

"So, is it pretty much what you planned?"

"So you knew all along," Tojo Nozomi said with a smile. "Your arrival disrupted it, but it's made things better. In fact, isn't the current situation pretty much in line with your plan?"

She returned Gao Yumo's original words.

"Pretty much. I'll definitely help you all get the nine of you. You probably think so too, right? When you chose this name and told the little birds and the others on the note."

"You really know everything?" Tojo Nozomi was somewhat surprised, though not much, since she had actually guessed some of it.

"How could I know all of this? But I do know some of it. Don't worry, I won't tell them," Gao Yumo said, shaking her head.

"Can't you tell? Then what happened when Enoka came to ask me if I wanted to join them? What did you and she talk about?" Tojo Nozomi shook her head helplessly at the thought of Enoka; being pestered by her was really troublesome.

"It just means that you and Eri will be joining them. I don't need to explain why, right?" Gao Yumo shrugged. Sure enough, Eno really went. She couldn't keep things to herself.

This time, Nozomi Tojo was truly silent: "You knew about those things too?"

“Yes, so after Ayase-senpai joins, you should join too. I have high hopes for you.” Gao Yumo nodded with a smile, without saying anything, but Tojo Nozomi was certain that he really knew, and her smile remained unchanged.

"As expected, helping you persuade Eri was the right choice," Tojo Nozomi said with a smile. She had always believed that Gao Yumo could help their school, because that was the answer the tarot cards had given her, and she believed it wholeheartedly.

"Mo-kun, what are you talking about?" Hui Naiguo asked, turning around and waving at Takayu Mo and Tojo Nozomi, who had fallen behind.

"It's nothing, just asking Nozomi a few questions, I'll be right there." Gao Yumo replied to her, then looked at Tojo Nozomi, "Let's go, Nozomi, if we don't go soon, Enoka will be here, you know that."

Without realizing it, he started calling Tojo Nozomi "Nozomi-senpai". Tojo Nozomi smiled and shook her head. This guy really does it without you even noticing. She hasn't agreed to it yet, but for some reason she doesn't mind being called that by him. Maybe she feels that she and he are compatible?

"Let's move on. Being entangled with Hui Naiguo was indeed an unforgettable experience." She smiled helplessly and quickened her pace, while Gao Yumo followed suit.

..

"How's your practice going lately?" Gao Yumo asked, moving closer to the little bird.

"We feel great, Mo-kun!" Little Bird said confidently. Whether it was her, Xiao Guo, or Xiao Hai, they all trained very seriously, and they believed they could definitely do it!

"It's good that you're confident. I will definitely be there on that day, and I hope I can see your perfect performance."

"Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly a little nervous," Kotori scratched her head. Being suddenly given such high expectations made not only her nervous, but also Umi, who was listening nearby. However, it was normal for Umi to be nervous; that's just her personality.

"Uh, don't be nervous. Weren't you full of confidence just now?" Gao Yumo said helplessly. She just wanted to encourage them, but instead she disrupted their rhythm.
