I'm surrounded by women.

If this were in the game, Katori Genying felt that all her years of keeping things balanced could earn her a platinum achievement: Master of Keeping Things Balanced!

After noticing that Xiao Gudu also wanted to be held in her arms, Katori Genzakura did the same as before, reaching out her hand and holding Xiao Gudu in her arms, gently stroking Xiao Gudu's hair.

At this moment, Xiao Gudu felt that she was the happiest woman in the world!

After seeing her sister holding little Gudu in her arms, Katori Ryuka wanted to protest to her sister and didn't want her sister to hold little Gudu in her arms.

But when he thought about what would happen if his sister and Xiao Gudu really got married in the future, he would have to beg Xiao Gudu: "Sister Yili, I won't ask for more than 30 days a month. Just give me 29 and a half days! I will definitely not disturb you and your sister for the rest of the time!"

Katori Ryuka also knew that his request might be a little greedy, so in order to make Xiao Gudu agree to his request, Katori Ryuka decided to try his best to maintain the relationship between himself and Xiao Gudu from now on.

"I have to find a balance. I can gradually warm up the relationship between Ichiri-sama and me, but I can't give my sister to Ichiri-sama... After all, if I had the chance, I would never let my sister and Ichiri-sama marry! My sister's bride can only be me!"

Katori Ryuka thought secretly in his heart.

Although she didn't know how to find this balance for a while, Katori Ryuka was determined to improve the relationship between herself and Goto Ichiri from now on. So when she looked at Goto Ichiri being held in her sister's arms, Katori Ryuka took a deep breath without leaving a trace, and then said quietly: "Sister is really a playboy~"

Then he hugged Katori Genzakura even tighter.

Katori Ryuka's performance surprised Katori Genzakura and Goto Ichiri.

Especially Xiao Gudu, when she was hugged by Katori Genying, she was both happy and a little nervous, because she was worried that if Liuge saw her, would Liuge scold her loudly and ask her to leave Katori Genying's arms?

But unexpectedly, Liuge wasn't angry at all?!

'Liu Ge is such a good person...' Xiao Gudu couldn't help but think in his heart, feeling a little touched.

Katori Genzakura also felt a little strange about this, but soon she felt that she had figured it out in her heart:

"Could it be that what I said before really touched Liuge's heart? It seems that Liuge is really afraid of being spanked by me. Humph, that's right. Although I usually dote on Liuge, it is better to show the dignity of being an older sister in some matters."

When she thought about herself as the majestic elder sister in Liuge's heart, Katori Genying couldn't help but chuckle with some complacency. For Genying, who always wanted to be a top, the word "majestic" was too tempting.

Just as Katori Genzakura was getting ready to go to bed, the phone suddenly rang.

The moment she heard the phone ring, Katori Genzakura sat up abruptly. Although she didn't know who was calling, the person calling her at this time should be Toyokawa Shoko...

Regardless of whether it was Toyokawa Shoko or not, he absolutely couldn't let his sister and Xiao Gudu know that there was a girl calling him so late!

"Who is it? You're calling me so late. Sister, put the phone down for me. I'll help you scold the person who called. Don't you know that everyone else has gone to bed at this time?" Katori Ryuka frowned her cute little eyebrows and said somewhat unhappily.

In her opinion, the person who called now was completely ruining her and her sister's warm sleep time! She wanted to act a little more coquettishly to her sister before going to bed!

Xiao Gudu was also very curious. It was already 11 o'clock in the evening. Who called Yuan Ying at this time?

Could it be another girl?

Katori Genzakura protected her phone to prevent Liuge or Xiaogudu from taking it, while glancing at the name on the caller ID out of the corner of her eye...

——Shoko Toyokawa.

After seeing that it was Xiangzi calling, Katori Gensakura was not surprised at all, because she had agreed with Xiangzi that if she couldn't sleep at 11 o'clock in the evening, she could call her, and the two of them would fall asleep while chatting together.

However, the current situation is not suitable for Yuan Ying to lie in bed and answer a call from Toyokawa Shoko.

After all, Liuge and Xiaogudi are on his bed...

After much thought, Katori Gensakura decided to pretend that nothing had happened. She slowly got out of bed, put on her slippers, and said to Liuge and Xiaogudu:

"I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment with a friend tonight to play Granblue Fantasy Relink together. I was so busy filming the dating reality show today that I accidentally forgot about it. You two should go to bed first. I'll go take her call and be back soon."

After telling a lie without blushing or beating her heart, Katori Gensakura turned and left the bedroom, standing in the corridor ready to answer the call from Xiangzi.

But after taking a shower, the fatigue of the day will be magnified. The same is true for Katori Genzakura. Although she is a little tired, she is not to the point where she cannot stand, but she still wants to sit instead of standing if possible, and lie down instead of sitting if possible.

However, he couldn't go back to his bedroom to answer Xiangzi's call now. Xiao Gudu was still okay, he could just comfort himself. But if Liuge heard that a girl called him so late at night, he would probably be so angry that he would go crazy on the spot!

Katori Genzakura briefly pondered the appropriate position to answer the phone...

Soon, Katori Genzakura's gaze turned to Katori Ryuka's bedroom not far away.

"Oh right, why don't I just go to Liuge's bedroom, lie on her bed, and answer Xiangzi's call? Liuge is in my bedroom anyway."

Katori Gensakura is always amazing in her ability to act as soon as she says it. She quickly entered Katori Ryuka's bedroom, closed the door, and then answered Toyokawa Shoko's call.

"Good evening, Xiangzi."

"Yuan Ying, good evening. You didn't answer the phone just now, and I was worried that you might have fallen asleep. If you were asleep and I still called, I would definitely apologize to you when we meet tomorrow."

It has been almost a day since I last heard Yuan Ying's voice. Now that I can finally hear Yuan Ying's voice, the joy in Xiangzi's heart has already been expressed in her words.

"I haven't slept yet. I usually go to bed after 11 o'clock. Of course, if one day I suddenly want to adjust my schedule or go to bed early, I will tell you the first time. After all, you are my girlfriend~"

Katori Genzakura said sweetly. When she thought that today was her and Xiangzi's lovers' day, but she had canceled Xiangzi's date invitation and ran to shoot a love reality show with other girls, Katori Genzakura felt very guilty and had a strong sense of guilt towards Xiangzi.

It is precisely because of this that Katori Genzakura said to Toyokawa Shoko so sweetly at this moment, "I am your girlfriend."

In her previous life, Katori Gen Sakura had voiced many romantic comedy anime, so it was natural for her to say sweet love words.

But how could Toyokawa Shoko, whose single age is equal to her actual age, have ever experienced this? Faced with Katori Genzakura's sudden sweet words of love, Toyokawa Shoko felt as if her whole body and soul were immersed in redemption, as if she was about to be overwhelmed with happiness!

"Okay, okay..." Katori Genzakura's love words confused Toyokawa Shoko for a moment, and her voice sounded hazy.

Katori Genzakura originally just wanted to say a few words of love, but after she said the first word, she couldn't help but say another sentence to Xiangzi:

"Xiangzi...I really love you."

Chapter 114: On Liuge's bed, confession to Xiangzi

Sitting on Katori Ryuka's bed, he confessed his love to Toyokawa Shoko.

After hearing Katori Genzakura's confession, Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment, and then a seductive blush appeared on her cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye.

For Toyokawa Shoko, Gen Sakura's confession now can be regarded as an unexpected surprise!

When Shoko Toyokawa originally called Gen Sakura, she just wanted to chat with her before going to bed and say good night to each other.

Unexpectedly, I received a confession from Yuan Ying!

On the other end of the phone, Shoko Toyokawa, after confirming that there was nothing wrong with her ears and that she had not heard wrong, seemed very excited. She twisted around happily on the bed. At the same time, she felt a little regretful in her heart. If she had known in advance that Yuan Ying would confess to her on the phone, she would definitely record Yuan Ying's confession and play it over and over again!

In front of Katori Genzakura, Toyokawa Shoko seemed to become much braver and told her what she was thinking without hesitation:

"Yuan Ying, if I had known in advance that you would confess to me on the phone, I would have set up a recording in advance."

Katori Genzakura was actually quite surprised by Toyokawa Shoko's words. Although her sudden confession today would certainly surprise Toyokawa Shoko, there was no need for her to get so excited, right?!

Xiangzi's excitement made Katori Gensakura, who already felt a little guilty towards Xiangzi, feel even more guilty. She felt more and more that she really shouldn't have canceled her date with Toyokawa Xiangzi today and went to film a love reality show with other girls.

What's more, among the participants in the dating reality show with her, two are friends that Toyokawa Shoko has known since childhood.

Wakaba Mutsu, Sankaku Hatsuka... Katori Genzakura didn't dare to think about it too carefully. If Toyokawa Shoko knew that she was filming a dating reality show with Wakaba Mutsu and Sankaku Hatsuka, what kind of expression would be on Shoko's face?

"Eh? Record it in advance? No need for that. It's just a love talk. If you want to hear it, I can record it for you anytime." Katori Genzakura couldn't help but say.

"No matter how many sweet words you say, I want to record them in advance, because then I can listen to them anytime."

"But it's like playing a song on repeat. No matter how good it is, you'll get tired of it eventually, right?"

Gensakura Katori said that she couldn't fully feel the obsession and heaviness of Toyokawa Shoko's love for her yet, so when she heard Toyokawa Shoko say that she wanted to record her confession and play it on a loop, the first thing she felt was disbelief.

Facing Katori Genzakura's words, Toyokawa Shoko said confidently, "No, I won't get tired of it. I can listen to your confession on repeat for the rest of my life!"

"lifetime?!"

After hearing the length of time, Katori Genzakura was so surprised that she almost bit her tongue. At the same time, she couldn't help but think to herself: "It's so heavy..."

"That's right, it's for a lifetime!" Toyokawa Shoko said confidently, because she had already determined in her heart that Katori Genzakura was the salvation of her life!

Although Katori Genzakura is regarded as her own salvation by Toyokawa Shoko, Katori Genzakura and Toyokawa Shoko have two completely different personalities.

Unlike Toyokawa Shoko, perhaps it was because he was older than Toyokawa Shoko in his previous life.

After all, in her previous life, Katori Genzakura was already in her twenties. In addition, she graduated from university early, entered society early, and joined a voice actor company to start working, which made Katori Genzakura's mind appear very mature most of the time.

In Katori Genzakura's view, the length of time "a lifetime" is too heavy. People can't even predict what will happen in the next second. Isn't it even more unknown what will happen in this lifetime?

——Will Xiangzi and I really become lifelong lovers?

This question quietly appeared in Katori Genzakura's mind.

Following closely on the heels of this is another question.

——Will Xiangzi and I really become a real couple?

Although she had just unintentionally confessed her love to Toyokawa Shoko, after she calmed down, Katori Genzakura always felt that those were impulsive words she said on impulse out of guilt towards Toyokawa Shoko.

At least in Katori Gensakura's opinion, impulsive words are often untrustworthy, so after calming down, Katori Gensakura couldn't help but want to cover her face with her hands.

The relationship between him and Shoko Toyokawa was just lovers one day and friends the next. They hadn't become real lovers yet, but he had just made that confession to Shoko Toyokawa on impulse.

After struggling for a long time, Katori Genzakura finally decided not to say anything more about this topic for the time being. Instead, in order to change the subject, she asked Xiangzi expectantly:

"Ah, Xiangzi, I suddenly remembered something very important."

Still immersed in the joy of confession, Toyokawa Shoko quickly came to her senses after hearing what Katori Genzakura said and asked curiously:

"Yuan Ying, what's going on?"

"That is... where are we going to meet for our date tomorrow morning?"

Katori Genzakura suddenly felt a little fortunate that she had not decided on the location for tomorrow's date with Toyokawa Shoko in advance. She could use this topic now to divert the subject away from her impulsive confession without making the change of topic seem abrupt.

After listening to this, Toyokawa Shoko remembered that she had not yet confirmed the location of her date with Gen Ying for tomorrow, so she only said that they would have a date tomorrow morning.

All she could think about was a date with Gen Sakura, but if she asked Toyokawa Shoko to choose a suitable date place... she didn't know how to choose.

I am no longer the young lady I used to be. When I went out to play with friends, I only needed to consider where I wanted to go.

But if Xiangzi were to go out and play with friends now, what he would have to consider is whether he has enough money?

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko felt somewhat helpless and thought in her heart:

'Perhaps distancing myself from most of my friends after my family fell into poverty was the best choice I made.

At least you don't have to pretend that you have enough money when you go out to play together, nor do you have to rack your brains to think of various reasons to refuse invitations to go out and play together.

Maybe if I tell them honestly, they won't despise me, but if they look at me with sympathy because of this, then I would rather die!

After thinking about this in her heart, Toyokawa Shoko, who was originally feeling very happy because of Minamoto Sakura's confession, couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and wanted to cry out loud.

Who stole her life as a young lady?

Chapter 115 Are they lovers or close friends?

For the once confident and cheerful Shoko Toyokawa, her current inferiority complex and sensitive self seems so ridiculous and humble.

Shoko Toyokawa is unwilling to accept her current inferiority and sensitive personality, but the more she doesn't want to accept it, the stronger her inner inferiority becomes.

Whenever I think of my former cheerful and confident personality, and the life I once led as a young lady...

The hatred in Toyokawa Shoko's heart will grow more and more!

What is what Toyokawa Shoko wants to do most in her heart?

Then, without a doubt, he had to find the culprit who had caused his family's downfall and kill him with his own hands! After killing the culprit with his own hands, his band's popularity soared. Thanks to the band, he not only paid off the debts incurred by his parents' failed business, but also helped his family make a comeback.

During countless sleepless nights, Shoko Toyokawa relied on such fantasies to slowly get through the long night.

Before meeting Katori Genzakura, Toyokawa Shoko relied on such fantasies in her heart to get through sleepless nights.

After meeting Katori Genzakura, Toyokawa Shoko felt that she had finally found inner redemption. Her insomnia episodes gradually decreased, and she also had one more fantasy in her heart on top of the original one.

That is, after his family made a comeback, he and Yuan Ying became real lovers. They no longer made the agreement of being lovers for one day and friends for the next. Every day they spent together was a sweet day for lovers!

If Toyokawa Shoko used to fall asleep at night with hatred for the culprit, now she falls asleep with love for Minamoto Sakura and longing for the future.

Just this one change made Toyokawa Shoko once again believe that Katori Genzakura must be her salvation!

Although her inferiority and sensitive personality has not changed, Toyokawa Shoko believes that as long as she stays with Gen Ying, Gen Ying will one day redeem her personality and return to her previous state.

However, before the future arrives, there is still a problem that remains unresolved for Shoko Toyokawa.

Where should I go on a date with Yuan Ying tomorrow?

Although Toyokawa Shoko's wallet is relatively well-off after working overtime for several days in a row, she dares not spend money carelessly when she thinks of her dream of making her family's comeback. Even if she has to spend more money, she wants to spend it all on Gen Ying.

After noticing that Toyokawa Shoko had not spoken for a long time, Katori Genzakura immediately realized that Shoko was trying hard to think about where to go for a date tomorrow.

When she thought about Shoko's family's current financial situation, Katori Genzakura felt a little regretful that she had asked Toyokawa Shoko the question of "Where are we going for a date tomorrow" in order to change the subject.

This may seem like a simple question, but given the current state of Shoko's family, the mere matter of choosing where to go on a date is enough to make Toyokawa Shoko feel inferior.

After realizing what was going on, Katori Gensakura felt even more guilty towards Xiangzi. She even decided that when she went on a date with Xiangzi tomorrow, no matter what Xiangzi wanted to do to her, she would agree readily!
