"Mom, there’s sothing I want to talk to you about..."
"Na... nani? Have I been found out..."
"Found out about what?" Before Ise Yu Yuzhijin could even open her mouth, her mom’s bizarre words caught her attention.
"About our plan to swap you with Kaori..." said Ise Yu Yuka, in her role as a mother, with a sigh, "Ever since I t Kaori the last ti, I just can’t forget her. So I discussed it with your dad and thought maybe we could negotiate with Kaori’s parents to swap you, with so extra money of course, to get her as a daughter..."
"Hey hey! Mom, that’s too much! I haven’t even envied soone else’s mom, and you’re already disgusted by ! I guess I really am just adopted by you!"
"Alright, alright, I’m just joking. Do you think we can swap whenever we want?"
"If I were Kaori’s mom, I wouldn’t even consider it for a billion yen, okay."
"???
"Okay, stop making that face, I was just joking around. Mommy still loves you... Now, what did you want to say?"
"Hmph! I was a bit hesitant before, but now it’s settled! I’m angry!"
"I’ve decided I’m moving out!"
"Didn’t you bring this up a long ti ago... I’ve told you, you don’t have the ability to live independently. Moving out would cause unnecessary trouble for the apartnt staff..."
"I’m going to share rent with Shirakawa!"
Ise Yu Yuka paused, testing the waters, "Is it that Shirakawa you’ve often ntioned?"
"Yes!"
"Is it the sa Shirakawa who ca to our house the other day to wake you up and go to school together?"
"That’s right!"
"Is it the sowhat handso, calm, reliable, and reassuring one..."
"Hey hey, Mom, Shirakawa isn’t even here, and he can’t hear you praising him..." the slacker girl couldn’t resist retorting, "No need to repeat it so many tis."
Ise Yu Yuka fell into a silence...
"Huh... Mom... you are..."
The slacker girl was bewildered by this silence. Based on her estimation, there should have been so kind of retort or counter-argunt here, but her mom didn’t say a word, so how should she respond?
How do you break an unpredictable punch?
"Honey! Our Jin finally has a boyfriend..."
After brewing her emotions for a while, Ise Yu Yuka ran towards her husband watching TV on the sofa with tears of joy.
"??? Mom, that’s too exaggerated... I don’t have a boyfriend... Hey, what are you doing with the phone! Calling relatives!? I beg you, this is so embarrassing, please put it down..."
"Jin is at that age now." Ise Yu’s dad spoke with a sense of nostalgia, "When we started living together, we were in high school too..."
"??? How co I never knew this! You two are too much! Dad, stop her! She’s about to call Granny!"
"What’s the big deal, love is a beautiful thing. Dad fully supports it! But make sure to take precautions, and if possible, invite that young man over, I’d like to have a word with him."
"Honey, shall we invite our relatives and friends over tomorrow, set a table, and properly celebrate this rare mont?"
"Good idea, just not sure which relatives are free to co."
"Touched... I thought our daughter the way she is now wouldn’t find a boyfriend in the next life..."
"Your daughter too."
"I’ve said it’s not a relationship..." Ise Yu Yuzhijin was on the verge of tears, "You really need to listen to what I’m saying..."
"Living together, and you say it’s not dating?"
"Jin, your mom and I aren’t that conservative when it cos to dating. It’s the most natural emotion for humans. As long as nothing dangerous happens during the cohabitation, we fully support you in dating."
"If you’re embarrassed to buy certain things, I can order a couple of boxes online for you."
"A couple of boxes???"
"What’s strange about that, young people nowadays are like this."
"I’m young, how co I didn’t know!" Ise Yu Yuzhijin was shocked and retorted, "Mom, spare ... no, spare Shirakawa!"
"He’ll die!"
"Make sure to be careful not to die on the balcony or the sofa..."
"???
Even the old hand Ise Yu himself found it hard to withstand Mom’s attacks at this mont.
"Ahh, enough! If you keep joking, I’m really going to flip!"
Seeing their daughter was teased enough, the Ise Yu couple stopped provoking her and exchanged a glance before sitting back on the sofa.
"Alright then, since you’ve co this far, let’s seriously discuss this..."
"What’s your reason for cohabiting with that Shirakawa..."
"What cohabitation? We’re just sharing rent... and the reason is for study and friendship!"
Ise Yu Yuzhijin replied with a righteous face: "I’ve told you, Shirakawa’s grades are super good. Living with him, you wouldn’t need to worry about academics anymore!"
"Also, Shirakawa recently encountered so trouble and can’t continue renting his place for so reasons. As a friend, I certainly can’t just watch him be troubled."
After listening to their daughter’s reasons, the Ise Yu couple nodded slowly.
"Noted, request denied."
"Huh??? Why!"
"Because you’re not being honest."
"How am I not honest! Those are the whole reasons for moving out and sharing rent."
"Heh, Jin, do you think after so many years, we haven’t figured you out?" Ise Yu Yuka smirked and said, "You think you can fool us so easily."
"Jin, just be honest with us. You know we’re relatively liberal parents."
Yuzhijin didn’t doubt her parents on this. If they weren’t open-minded enough, they wouldn’t have agreed to her transferring schools out of nowhere back then.
"What? You don’t believe that reason either. Do you want to say that I’m head over heels for Shirakawa and would create any opportunity to be with him?" Ise Yu Yuzhijin said indignantly, "That’s just too..."
"This reason kind of makes sense..."
"Exactly, it fits Jin’s character..."
"???"
"So it’s because you have feelings for that boy after all... Makes sense, Jin often talks about him."
"This is what they call seeing a person’s shadow everywhere when in love..."
After nodding, the Ise Yu couple earnestly said, "Since you’ve admitted it, we’re not going to stop you from pursuing your love... But as your parents, we still have to et your co-renter."
How in the world is this an admission, clearly, it’s a confession forced out of !
The slacker girl’s face was full of question marks. She didn’t know how it happened, but judging by the outco, had she... succeeded?
Can this really be considered a success? When Mom ets Shirakawa, she won’t suddenly backstab , right?
Noticing her daughter’s perplexed expression, Ise Yu Yuka reassured her, "Don’t worry, we’re just getting to know him, we won’t ask weird questions..."
"You saying that made it dangerous! Mom, please don’t say strange things!"
"Relax, we definitely won’t bring up topics like cars and houses..."
"That topic’s absolutely prohibited without even saying!"
"We know that, since we’re grown-ups ourselves, right honey?"
"We should buy so top-quality ingredients to entertain him when the ti cos..."
"..."
Watching this couple indulge in their excitent, Ise Yu Yuzhijin’s mood visibly dipped into a pit of despair... Shirakawa... shouldn’t bla for this, right...
