Is it a problem to have a harem in a stranger heroine?

"Bai Ye-kun, do you want to eat pollen in spring, mosquitoes in summer, fallen leaves in autumn, and fallen snow in winter?"

The romantic scene in Bai Ye's mind of playing with everyone in the yard suddenly turned into an embarrassing scene of his legs being itchy with mosquito bites.

"Xiaohui sometimes really ruins the atmosphere..."

"It's time to surrender to reality, Byakuya-kun."

"Well (o｀з'*) I want to do it in the yard while doing it..." Bai Ye covered his mouth, but his inner voice still came out.

Xiaohui: “…”

. . . . . .

Dishes were served amid anticipation and cheers, along with the moon, which operated in the same way but was given various meanings by people.

Through the light clouds, you can see the crescent moon and the sun emitting afterglow in the same deep blue sky.

"Here we go! Delicious fried rice cakes with salt and pepper shrimp!"

"Pork and pickled cabbage with rice cakes is also good."

Ying Lili opened the gate for Bai Ye and Xiao Hui, Zhu Yin cleared the table and made room for her, Chu Hai brought clean dishes and chopsticks, and Shi Yu brought steamed rice. The family was well-organized and cooperated well.

Here, Bingtang just finished taking a bath.

"Have you eaten yet? Um... Where's the red bean rice cake soup?"

"Bingtang, didn't you order spicy rice cakes? Sayuri is frying them now."

"It's almost time for red bean rice cake soup. By the way, is this afternoon tea or dinner?"

"The red bean and rice cake soup base still needs to cook for a while." Xiaohui said, "Would you like something else to fill your stomach?"

"No, I need to get dressed first."

After saying that, Bingtang walked towards his kimono.

Seeing this, Shiyu followed, her tone surprised.

"Michiru, you want to wear a kimono?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"Don't you think it's inconvenient to eat in your kimono? If it's not more troublesome to take it off and put it on again, I'll take it off."

Bingtang whispered in his ear.

"Because Ah Ye likes it. He has been staring at us since we put it on~"

Shi Yu couldn't help laughing when she heard this and joked:

"You're the only one who's being so special, Michiru. Shiro-kun has been staring at us. Aren't you trying to find out if we're wearing panties?"

"Hehe~ Now I am wearing it."

"Don't stir it up, don't you see Xiaobai-kun's eyes shining?"

Shiyu helped Bingtang put on the kimono, and she also fixed her makeup in front of the mirror and quietly pulled her collar down a little. Only then did the two of them leave with satisfaction.

Shi Yu immediately came to Bai Ye's side and said patiently:

"What did you see~"

Her unscrupulousness made Bai Ye unable to figure out what she was up to. His eyes wandered away and never looked at Shiyu.

"See...it's a little dark in the room. I'll go turn on the light."

Shiyu chuckled, thinking that when Bai Ye got serious, he would be very vigilant and would basically not fight a battle without preparation.

"Look at how timid you are. You're not brave enough to take the benefits you're given."

“Free things are sometimes the most expensive.”

Despite this, Bai Ye still picked up a bunch of Shiyu's hair and played with it for a while, then poked and rubbed Shiyu's collar with the hair to indicate that he received her kindness.

Shiyu's lips curled up slightly, and her hand reached out to the soft flesh on his waist.

"Is it expensive?"

"I don't know now, but who knows what will happen in the future?"

"Virtue~"

Bai Ye's heart trembled. Shiyu looked too charming in this outfit and her provocative actions.

"Xiao Jun, can you come and help me?"

Hearing Sayuri's voice, Bai Ye felt relieved and hurried away.

It’s not that he doesn’t dare to do it, but he hasn’t had dinner yet and has to go out after dinner. If he can’t help it now, he will have to spend New Year’s Eve in a pool of wine and meat.

As soon as Bai Ye left, Ying Lili came forward and blamed him.

"Are you really not afraid of causing trouble, Kasumigaoka? Don't let us get stuck outside later."

"Don't worry~" Shiyu said confidently, not taking it to heart at all, "Xiaobai-kun will definitely be alright before he comes back on New Year's Eve."

"How do you know?" Ying Lili folded her hands, unconvinced.

"Just watch~"

……

When Bai Ye came to the yard, the first thing he smelled was a sweet and spicy smell.

"Is the spicy rice cake ready?"

"Yeah, take it back. The red bean rice cake soup is ready. I'll try it."

Bai Ye brought the spicy rice cakes back into the house and then came out immediately.

He had something he wanted to say to Sayuri alone, and now was the best opportunity.

"Sayuri."

Sayuri raised the corner of her mouth to indicate that she was listening, then handed the spoon to Bai Ye's mouth.

Bai Ye opened his mouth and ate the red bean soup, not noticing the smile on Sayuri's lips and the red bean soup on it.

"That's enough flavor, um... Sayuri, can you sit next to me at dinner later?"

Sayuri was startled and put the bowl aside with a look of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

In Bai Ye's impression, Sayuri always had a gentle smile on her face, and she was calm and composed in the face of serious matters, and she would not change her expression even when faced with a crisis. He almost never remembered her showing obvious dissatisfaction like she did now.

"What, what's wrong... Is there something wrong?"

"Yes, why would Xiao Jun ask? It's obvious that I can just inform him about this kind of thing. Either Xiao Jun is not qualified to be the head of the family, or Xiao Jun doesn't treat me as a real family member."

Sayuri nodded in agreement, leaving no room for maneuver.

Bai Ye understood what she meant.

This topic has been discussed before. Sayuri said that Bai Ye lacked the "heroism" of being the head of the family.

It is absolutely unacceptable to admit that he did not treat Sayuri as a real family member. Otherwise, the only result would be that he would be derelict in his duty as the head of the family.

"Everyone in the harem wants to be by your side, especially during meals. If you ask a concubine if she's willing, what will the others who are trying to get by your side think? This doesn't go against your strategy of treating everyone equally."

This is the truth, Bai Ye cannot deny it.

"There are some things that Xiao Jun just needs to do. If he doesn't do them, it will only make everyone unhappy."

As for what "some things" are, Sayuri did not give any examples.

Bai Ye was completely convinced.

"I can't live without you, Sayuri. Sit next to me tonight. I have something to say to everyone."

Sayuri smiled with satisfaction, her eyes full of tenderness, and reached out to stroke Bai Ye's face.

"This is my Xiao Jun~"

Chapter 1111 So, what the harems mean is...

Steaming red bean rice cake soup was served one after another, and everything was ready for New Year's Eve dinner, waiting for everyone to arrive.

“It’s time to eat!!!”

The most touching words are always the most familiar ones. Who can refuse a warm dinner with family gathered together?

Eriri was almost clinking her chopsticks waiting, and when she saw Sayuri, she said:

"Mom, what are you doing out there? Giving birth shouldn't take that long, right?"

The girls all looked sideways, wondering if this was something they could say to Sayuri.

Sayuri's expression was unaffected, but Eriri took a few seconds to realize how awful what she had said was. She immediately covered her mouth and shook her head, mumbling a few words through her fingers.

"I didn't mean that..."

Bai Ye did not express his opinion. As the only man present, it was obviously unwise to get involved in this topic.

"It's all your fault, damn it. If you hadn't gone out to look for Mom, nothing would have happened."

Bai Ye pushed the red bean rice cake soup in front of her, and took the opportunity to rub the dog's head. When she reacted and opened her mouth to bite, he withdrew his hand in time.

"Eat, don't be stupid if you're hungry."

"Damn it——"

Sayuri laughed softly, served the red bean rice cake soup to everyone, then walked around and came to Bai Ye's side, gently squeezing in between Bai Ye and Zhu Yin.

"excuse me."

Zhu Yin looked at her with pretended curiosity, temporarily suppressing the excitement of watching the show in her heart, and gave her the seat next to Bai Ye that she had occupied earlier.

"It's rare to see you take the initiative like this, Sayuri."

"More than that, it's extremely rare." Shi Yu, who was sitting on the other side of Bai Ye, said.

Sayuri did not confess that this was Bai Ye's request, but just treated it as her own idea. She tilted her head slightly to look at Bai Ye, stirring the red bean rice cake soup with chopsticks, as if waiting for something.

The others were also waiting, but they were waiting for the signal for dinner.

There is no need for sentimentality. The dinner table should be a relaxed, warm and pleasant gathering place. Being too formal and serious is not the style of the Bai Ye family.

"It's starting!"

As soon as you take a sip, the sweetness of the red bean soup is refreshing, the chopped tangerine peel brings a lingering sweetness, the glutinous fragrance of the rice cake dilutes the sweetness of the red bean soup, but makes the sweetness stay in your mouth longer, and the red beans in the rice cake add a touch of taste.

“Delicious – the rice cakes are so chewy!”

"Delicious, delicious! I want another bowl!"

"I also want--"

"Me too!"

"Hey, are you in such a hurry to eat? I want to save some for tomorrow."

Everyone praised me endlessly, especially since I had contributed a lot to the dish, which made it taste even better.

Everyone put their hands together, expressing their expectations and wishes as symbolized by the red bean rice cake soup, and the New Year's Eve dinner officially began.

Sayuri put down the bowl, and a little red bean soup stained the corner of her mouth, which looked like a touch of vermilion at first glance.

"Xiao Jun, would you like another bowl?"

"No, wait a minute."

Bai Ye's expression restrained slightly, which was the prelude to talking about something.

When everyone returned and saw Bai Ye's expression, they realized that this was the real business. Ying Lili glanced at Shi Yu and remembered what the latter said before dinner: Bai Ye must have something important to tell everyone.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Bai Ye spoke first.

He stretched out his hands, put one arm around Sayuri's waist, and passed the other hand through Sayuri's knees, then hugged her tightly onto his legs.

Sayuri's face showed a hint of surprise, but only for a moment, and then she accepted the arrangement. Following Bai Ye's strength, she leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder, rubbing her face against his until she found the right position. She gently pressed her soft and smooth hands against Bai Ye's chest, took a deep breath, as if she had found peace of mind. Her behavior was like a newlywed couple sharing their heartfelt feelings with each other after a short separation.

This time it was Bai Ye's turn to be surprised.

He just wanted Sayuri to sit on his lap, but he didn't expect the latter to be so direct. However, he went along with it and played with Sayuri's hair with his right hand to show his relationship with her.

No one spoke, only the gurgling sound of the boiling soup pot. Everyone's attention was on the two people hugging each other. Eriri was holding the soup spoon in her mouth, and her expression could not be seen.

"I have something important to tell you all."
