"Come on in, I didn't expect the bus to drop us off right at home! Hehe, I have a surprise for you!"
Kushida Kikyo happily pulled Bai Yuze's hand, rushing towards her house. Just as she reached the door and was about to find her keys to unlock it...
Click!
The door opened! A man walked out, carrying a bag of trash.
"Dad?"
Kushida Kikyo's eyes widened. She never expected her father to be home, completely out of the blue!
"Hmm?"
Kushida Nakaki heard the familiar voice and was startled for a moment. Then he suddenly looked up, and after seeing his daughter appear before him, his expression immediately became ecstatic.
"Kikyo's back? Come, come, come! Your mother just finished making dinner!"
"Ah? Mother's here too?"
Kushida Kikyo was a little flustered. She had originally thought she would have a sweet holiday cohabitation with Bai Yuze, but now it had turned into her boyfriend meeting her parents!
"This child! Has school made you silly? Where else would your mother be if she wasn't here?"
Kushida Nakaki's gaze slowly shifted from Kushida Kikyo's face to her hand. Following the direction of her hand, he saw a boy being led by his daughter.
"Hello, Uncle. I am Kushida Kikyo's boyfriend, my name is Bai Yuze."
Seeing Kushida Nakaki look at him, Bai Yuze quickly introduced himself.
"Ah... Hello..."
Kushida Nakaki was stunned for a moment. After responding, he immediately turned and closed the door. Sounds of running immediately came from inside.
"Is this the surprise you mentioned?"
Bai Yuze complained, it was indeed quite a surprise! It was almost a shock! He had quietly snatched someone else's daughter, and came to their home without any gifts... Now he was only missing a 'Ghost Fire' motorcycle and yellow hair!
"I didn't know either! Who knew they would suddenly come home?!"
Kushida Kikyo was a little upset, it seemed her anticipated cohabitation was about to end...
Just then, the door suddenly opened again. The person who opened it was still Kushida Nakaki, but the Kushida Nakaki from just now was wearing casual clothes, and now he was wearing a suit, looking exactly like a successful businessman.
"Bai Jun, right? Please come in, please come in!"
Kushida Nakaki motioned for the two to enter the house. A lavish meal was already laid out on the table inside, and a kind-faced woman stood beside the table. From her appearance, it was clear this person was Kushida Kikyo's mother.
"We have guests! Little Kikyo, really, you didn't even tell us. Come, come, come, everyone sit down, sit down!"
Kushida Miu smiled, inviting everyone to sit. Kushida Kikyo was on the verge of tears; how was she supposed to notify them? Not to mention she wasn't aware they were home, she just blinked and they were there! Even if she had notified them, the message would have just been received, and they would have already arrived...
"Hello, Auntie. As we came in a hurry, we didn't prepare any gifts. Please forgive us."
Bai Yuze greeted her while also apologizing. Kushida Kikyo's reaction showed that she was also unaware of this, and even if she knew, he couldn't possibly scold her daughter in front of her parents, could he? Then he would truly be a 'yellow-haired' punk!
As for whether the two in front of him were malevolent spirits, he had secretly tested them with a malevolent artifact. He didn't want to be eating dinner and suddenly the scene changed, finding himself tied to a tiger bench, with all the food on the table moldy and rotten, crawling with protein!
He had already removed the Necklace after executing Gao Tianxiong. On a whim, he used the Necklace on Yamauchi Haruki again during its cooldown period, and the result was [Time is currently cooling down].
And on the way back to the dormitory, he also used it on students who passed by him, and the result was that it had no reaction at all to ordinary people.
This meant that the Necklace still had the ability to distinguish malevolent spirits even during its cooldown period.
Bai Yuze's evaluation of this was: Overpowered! Too overpowered!
"Oh, no need for gifts! Having the thought is enough!"
Kushida Miu said with a smile, waving her hand, while Kushida Nakaki chimed in from the side.
"I'm just afraid some people don't have the thought... they just forgot."
"Dad! What are you saying!"
Kushida Kikyo directly retorted to Kushida Nakaki. When Kushida Nakaki saw his little cotton jacket was letting in the wind, he was so angry he started to cough!
Before he could cough, his foot was stomped on by Kushida Miu next to him!
Kushida Nakaki was extremely miserable! He was suffering! His little cotton jacket, which he had raised so painstakingly for so many years, was not only taken by someone, but that person was also brazenly bullying him!
Why was he so miserable! When he was a son-in-law, he was bullied by his father-in-law. When he became a father-in-law, he was bullied by his son-in-law!
Everything he had just said was learned from his father-in-law. Back when he was dating Kushida Kikyo's mother, he was tricked by Kushida Kikyo's mother into going to his in-laws' house. Because things happened so suddenly and he hadn't prepared a gift, he was mocked for quite a while!
Now, he had finally become a father-in-law, only to be suppressed by his daughter and wife working together... He was about to explode!
"Uncle, I don't know if you smoke, but I have a lighter here. If you don't mind, please accept it!"
Bai Yuze suddenly remembered Sakata Yuji's lighter in his pocket. He wondered if a 10,000 yen lighter would catch the other party's eye.
"A lighter?" Kushida Nakaki curiously took it. Then, his About to erupt volcano extinguished.
"Good... good! This child has a good heart!"
Kushida Nakaki recognized the item at a glance. He immediately changed his expression. It turned out the price Sakata Yuji quoted was for parts processing, not its specific collection value. The collection value of this lighter directly multiplied its price by a hundredfold, and its limited edition status further multiplied its price several times!
Otherwise, with Sakata Yuji's financial resources, he wouldn't have been so obsessed with a mere lighter.
Kushida Nakaki tremblingly put the million-yen lighter into his pocket. At this moment, he undoubtedly began to take Bai Yuze seriously, and a little scheme immediately arose in his mind.
My child couldn't have latched onto a rich man, could she? I heard those second-generation rich kids have many special quirks... But judging by the situation, it seems... my pig is the one rooting around in someone else's field... My daughter couldn't have drugged him, could she?
Everyone sat down. Bai Yuze, Kushida Kikyo, and Kushida Miu chatted and laughed, while Kushida Nakaki lowered his head, deep in thought, remaining silent...
"Dad, what's wrong?"
At Bai Yuze's prompting, Kushida Kikyo noticed her father's unusual behavior. Although her little cotton jacket was letting in the wind, she was still a little cotton jacket, and she immediately became concerned about Kushida Nakaki's condition.
"Nakaki, what's wrong?"
Kushida Miu also put down her chopsticks and poked Kushida Nakaki with her hand. All the activity at the table stopped because of Kushida Nakaki.
"Bai Jun! I have something to tell you!"
"Ah? Uncle, please speak, I'm listening."
Bai Yuze also put down his chopsticks and, seeing Kushida Nakaki's serious expression, couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Tell me! When are you getting married? How many children do you want? Can you make me a grandfather by next year?"
