The fact was just as she thought, Shiyu's expression did not indicate that.
"With Auntie's connections, is there any chance of that?"
"I'm talking about close friends, not the kind who just smile with their lips but not their eyes when they meet." Zhu Yin continued to guide.
Shiyu frowned and didn't say anything for a while.
"Alas..." Zhu Yin sighed, "Shiyu, you haven't witnessed the true intrigues of the upper class, but based on your own experience, you should be able to empathize with them to some extent."
Shiyu closed her eyes and recalled her experiences before she met Bai Ye. Half a minute later, she opened her eyes and nodded, her eyes filled with loneliness as she was infected by the memories.
"If I hadn't met Xiaobai-kun, I would probably be in a similar situation to my aunt."
Akane nodded and sighed again.
"The hearts of the upper class are too complicated, especially Sayuri's position and the resources she controls, which makes her walk on thin ice. Speaking three points and leaving seven points open is the basic code of conduct for everyone."
"Tell me, can you make true friends in such a terrible environment?"
"But we are different. Sayuri has watched everyone grow up step by step and knows everyone inside and out. Even if you don't have this idea, Sayuri already regards everyone as a true friend."
Zhu Yin's words that moved Shi Yu emotionally and logically moved her, and she felt more and more empathetic.
"I can endure the darkness forever if I never meet the light. Is this what art comes from life? The bloody plots in novels are reality for my aunt." Shi Yu sighed sincerely.
Zhu Yin shrugged helplessly.
"Luckily, Sayuri knows how to keep her distance, otherwise it would be really annoying. Okay, I won't say any more nonsense."
At this point, Zhu Yin chose to end the topic.
Although it seems to start well but end badly, she knows better how to stop, just like Sayuri did at the beginning.
Plant a seed and wait for it to take root and sprout.
……
Bai Ye carried a sack of firewood back to the backyard of the villa, and Kato Megumi behind him was also dragging a small bag of branches.
"Xiaobai-kun is back. Why did you chop so much firewood? You're here on vacation, not to be a woodcutter, right?"
Bai Ye took the tea and drank it all, then added firewood to the campfire.
"I'm having a hamster attack. I think it's going to rain soon. We shouldn't waste such good firewood."
"It's snowing—!"
Everyone looked up and saw that it was Eriri who poked her little head out of the attic and protested.
Xiaohui took off her suit and jacket together, and fanned her blushing face with a hand-made fan.
"Has Hui also been murdered?"
Xiaohui took the tea and squeezed her thighs together. When Shiyu's gaze was attracted, she immediately rinsed her mouth with the tea and swallowed it before speaking:
"No, it's just hot."
However, Zhu Yin, Chu Hai, and Bing Tang were also present, and Eriri in the attic could see everything clearly.
Also, the scent of White Night is incredibly recognizable. Has anyone here ever tried White Night afternoon tea? Can you get rid of the odor by rinsing your mouth with tea?
There is one person who doesn't.
Zhu Yin whispered in Bai Ye's ear:
"Ye Jun, I want to have afternoon tea too."
"Here." Bai Ye handed her the cup in his hand with a speechless look in his eyes.
He still has the nerve to say that he has no moral integrity, but these wolf-like concubines are the ones who can't help it in broad daylight!
Chapter 950: A Cold Crisis Beneath the Comedy
In the end, no one exposed Bai Ye and Xiao Hui's comedy in the grove. After all, it was better to leave a way out for others and be nice to each other later. It would be too embarrassing to make all the secrets public.
Dark clouds covered most of the sky, and the sun had been elusive since yesterday. If the clock hadn't shown 4:15, everyone would have thought it would be dusk soon.
The bonfire gradually replaced the sunlight to illuminate everyone's faces. At this time, Bingtang and Chuhai pushed open the gate and walked out.
"We're back from taking a shower~!"
I worked up a sweat from the exercise in the afternoon, so I took a shower before nightfall.
"I'll go." Shiyu stood up and patted her clothes, "so that I won't be disgusted by the smell of sweat during the bonfire party."
"Senior Shiyu, let's go together." Xiaohui also stood up.
Before leaving, the two men did not forget to glance at Bai Ye, who looked regretful. They took a shower early to avoid being hugged and sniffed by some Hentai smell control person in front of everyone at the bonfire party, and saying nonsense like "strong and powerful, strong and powerful".
"Ye Jun's expression is very intriguing~"
Bai Ye had nothing to say and prepared to drive.
He really drives. It would be a shame not to use such a large open space in the backyard of the villa to practice his driving skills. He has to take a driver's license after graduation, so now is a good time to practice.
"Zhu Yin, lend me your car keys. I need to practice driving."
"Yeah, it's in the bag, go get it yourself... wait a minute -"
Bai Ye stopped abruptly upon hearing this.
"What's the matter?"
"You have to plan ahead. What if you hit my car?"
"I'll compensate you." Bai Ye didn't care.
"But I don't want to see my young husband lose money, and I don't want to suffer the loss myself..." Zhu Yin looked heartbroken.
white night"……"
Based on his experience, once Zhu Yin calls him "little husband", there is a 99% chance that nothing good will happen.
Even so, he still wanted to know what evil ideas were in Akane's head.
"What do you want?"
Zhu Yin raised the corner of her mouth in a mischievous manner, and waved her hand to let Bai Ye come closer to her ear.
"100 yen for 1ml, that's fair, right~"
white night"……"
This time he really had nothing to say.
Ever since Zhu Yin joined the harem, Bai Ye's previous impression of a calculating, shrewd, and scheming strong woman collapsed at the speed of a plane crashing into a building. What fell to the ground was not bricks, but her moral integrity.
"Azuman, you're not going to feel good until you've drained me dry, are you?"
"That's one thing." Zhu Yin tickled Bai Ye's chin, "On the other hand, I agreed to my family's request."
"What request? I haven't heard you say it."
"It's not too much trouble."
Zhu Yin took a sip of tea and slowly explained:
"I go home once a month at the end of the month. I was supposed to go back this weekend. I told my parents that I was going to the mountains with my young husband, but they didn't believe me and thought I was avoiding marriage pressure. In desperation, I told them to achieve something and get married and have children within four years at the latest."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Bai Ye pinched his chin.
"Don't—" Zhu Yin knew what his expression meant and immediately stopped him. "I'm not in a hurry, and you don't have to be anxious either. My dear husband, you're always as good as you say. You know the reason why I'm not in a hurry."
Bai Ye naturally understood. He and everyone would get married after graduation. If he got Zhu Yin pregnant before then...
Bai Yeguang shuddered at the thought.
"Don't mention it, I drove to..."
……
Bai Ye has played Euro Truck Simulator before, although he didn't use a steering wheel, but he got the hang of it as soon as he got in the car and held the steering wheel. He can't say he drives it with ease, but he can drive it quite well.
"Next year...if I have time, I'll get my driver's license before going to college."
Just as Bai Ye was imagining taking everyone on a trip after getting a driver's license, a sharp scream interrupted his thoughts.
"what--!!"
Bai Ye's expression tensed.
The scream was from Shiyu, and the source of the sound was from the direction of the bathroom.
He quickly stopped the car and rushed towards the villa, while Zhu Yin, who was sitting by the bonfire, also hurriedly got up and went into the house. Everyone looked anxious, fearing that something might happen to the two people in the bathroom.
"What's wrong, Shiyu Xiaohui, did you fall down?"
"No, we didn't fall. It's okay."
Hearing that the two were not injured, everyone outside the bathroom breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened? Why are you screaming so miserably?"
"The hot water suddenly ran out..."
The two people in the bathroom were extremely depressed. They took a bath and wanted to wash their clothes with hot water, but when they turned on the faucet, they were suddenly sprayed with cold water, so they screamed.
Then they went back to the bathtub to soak, and then Bai Ye and the others arrived.
"Is the water heater broken?"
After warming up, Shiyu and Xiaohui got up to restart the water heater. The former took a few steps and suddenly felt something strange.
"Mei, I feel like I'm getting colder?"
"I feel the same way."
Xiaohui looked up and realized it was not an illusion.
The heater is off.
"Bai Yejun, the water heater and the bathroom heater are both off. Go and see if there's a circuit breaker."
"Okay—you guys dry off and get dressed first, don't get cold. Eriri, where's the power switch?"
"follow me."
When the two passed by the living room, they saw that the oil heater was also off, which made them more certain that the power was out.
"Eri, turn on your phone light, it's a little dark."
"Oh, Bai Ye, be careful. Electricity is no joke."
The light illuminated the switch and also illuminated Bai Ye's suddenly frown.
"The switch didn't trip?"
He turned the power off and on again, but the light in the living room didn't come on. He did this several times, but the situation remained the same.
"Is there really a power outage?" Eriri pouted.
A chill ran from Bai Ye's feet to his forehead. Compared to Ying Lili's confusion at the moment, he had already realized the seriousness of the matter.
The weather forecast shows that the lowest temperature tonight is 0℃, and the temperature in the mountains is several degrees lower than in the city. Without heating, people can really freeze to death!
"Eri, gather everyone in the living room immediately and close all the doors and windows."
Seeing Bai Ye's unprecedented serious expression, Ying Lili realized that something serious had happened and immediately trotted away.
Half a minute later, everyone arrived in the living room and Sayuri Sawamura woke up.
"What happened, Xiao Jun?"
"It's a bit sudden, aunt."
Bai Ye informed everyone of the current situation and his speculations.
"I don't know if the power outage is caused by a broken circuit breaker or if it's caused by a power outage in this entire area, or if the problem lies somewhere else. Auntie, do you have any channels to find out?"
"I have a way to see what's going on at the campground!" Eriri volunteered. "We can use a telescope from the attic. I'm going!"
Sayuri Sawamura was fully awake and quickly analyzed the situation.
"There's a power outage... I'm not sure what's going on. I've never encountered this before... One possibility is that there are too many people at the campground and they're using too much electricity, causing a power outage here. I'll call and ask."
Zhu Yin called out to her.
"It's not very useful to analyze this now. It's almost dusk, and the temperature will get lower and lower after nightfall."
