Chapter 356

While she was still thinking, Liang also spoke, her voice still calm.

"I don't have any particular goals. It's enough that I feel comfortable around him."

Nijika listened, she suddenly felt that this was another kind of three-way talk, where Ishikawa Hayato was discussing future plans with his family.

But if that's the case, does that mean the first two who had no plan are out?

She turned to look at Ikuyo and saw that she also had a worried expression.

But just as Nijika was thinking about how to phrase it appropriately, Ikuyo spoke up as well.

"There's still a long time ahead, and I haven't made up my mind yet, but I believe Hayato-kun won't let me down."

They're all idiots!

Nijika clutched her head in her heart and screamed.

She kept this in mind, observing Ishikawa Shizuka's expression, but couldn't discern any attitude from Ishikawa Hayato's mother's face.

He sighed softly and smiled as he spoke.

"I also think it's fine. Even if we can't get married in the future, it's okay as long as I can be with Hayato-kun."

She's an idiot too!

Ishikawa Shizuka listened in silence under the girls' worried gazes, then suddenly turned around and angrily punched Ishikawa Hayato on the head.

"Falcon, you know you've gone too far, haven't you? Bullying a girl who likes you like this."

All four were surprised, but Xiang smiled happily and even clenched his fist as if he wanted to punch him.

Ishikawa Hayato, who had been punched, laughed and blocked Hibiki's hand, "Yeah, I know, so I'll definitely treat them well."

But after a few seconds of seriousness, he chuckled and said, "Besides, it's wrong not to be able to get married. Many countries allow polygamy, such as Yemen and Egypt..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was met with icy stares from his mother and sister.

At this point, getting married seems like a minor matter.

To force them to change their nationality just to satisfy their own desires is utterly despicable.

Seeing that his status at home was getting lower and lower, Ishikawa Hayato quickly waved his hand.

"Just kidding, I definitely won't let them be looked down upon because of this, and they can hold a wedding ceremony even in Japan."

As Ishikawa Hayato spoke, Ikuyo asked Nijika and Ryo in a low voice, full of curiosity.

Are polygamy still allowed in Yemen and Egypt?

Hitori also leaned forward and listened intently towards Liang's side.

Nijika glanced at Liang with a flicker in her eyes.

"It seems so," Liang said.

The three of them withdrew their gazes, each seemingly lost in thought.

Ishikawa Shizuka glanced back at the people behind her, and suddenly felt a little tired.

Fortunately, this incident didn't affect their conversation too much, and after a while, everyone got off the bus, and Ishikawa Hayato stood in front of the girls and spoke to his family.

"Let's go to the beach to watch the sunrise first, and then we'll go to the shrine."

He stood between the two groups of people as if he were protecting his girlfriend.

Ishikawa Shizuka wanted to talk to the four of them more, but she wasn't sure what Ishikawa Hayato was planning, so she spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Then let's go too."

"Let's go pay our respects first," Ishikawa Jinpei, pulling her hand.

Ishikawa Hayato's face was full of agreement, and he said ingratiatingly, "Dad, with your devout faith, you're sure to have good luck this year."

"You only start saying nice things when you need my help."

Ishikawa Jinpei chuckled and cursed, then glanced at his wife, wondering what she thought.

Ishikawa Shizuka understood their thoughts and, after a slight hesitation, spoke to the girls.

"Falcon is a very mischievous child, but he actually cares a lot about the people around him, so..."

She paused briefly, as if choosing her words carefully, but after a moment her expression turned slightly disappointed, after all, her complacent son had indeed done something wrong.

"You are both good girls. I feel very guilty about what Falcon did, but I hope you can get along well with him."

Hitori Ichisato Ishikawa Shizuka spoke to them in a guilty tone, she immediately became anxious and waved her hands frantically.

"Mom... Ah... Auntie, Falcon only started dating everyone because we agreed to it, so please don't worry about it!"

Nijika glanced helplessly at Hitori, then at Liang and Ikuyo, and saw that they were in the same boat.

But they remained Hitori nearby, subtly conveying the same sentiment.

Looking at them, Ishikawa Shizuka couldn't help but sigh at her son's gaze, and also couldn't help but complain to Ishikawa Hayato that he didn't let them spend more time together.

He then said to Ishikawa Hayato, "Hayabusa, come back more often when you have time."

She spoke halfway through, afraid that Ishikawa Hayato might not understand, or that he was deliberately pretending not to understand, so she emphasized her words to add more information.

"The main purpose is to bring them back."

Ishikawa Hayato was about to nod when he froze, then said with a mournful expression, "Mom, shouldn't you want to see your son more?"

As if venting her dissatisfaction that Ishikawa Hayato had deliberately prevented her from meeting her daughter-in-law, Ishikawa Shizuka said very rudely.

"I've been watching it for over ten years, I'm totally tired of it."

"Waaah..."

Ishikawa Hayato pitifully covered his face and cried out a few times.

After scolding him, Ishikawa Shizuka looked at them with pity and smiled at Hitori, saying, "If you like, it's okay to call me Mom."

Hitori's eyes lit up, and she secretly glanced at Ishikawa Hayato before calling out softly.

"Mother..."

After Ishikawa Shizuka responded, Ishikawa Jinpei, seeing that it was almost time, tugged at her sleeve. Ishikawa Shizuka nodded slightly to the group with a hint of regret and left with Hibiki.

After the Ishikawa family left, Nijika smiled and approached Ishikawa Hayato, patting him on the shoulder.

"Hayato-kun is really pampered at home."

Ishikawa Hayato immediately straightened up and smiled, "Of course, I'm always pampered in that family! It's about time, let's hurry to the beach to watch the sunrise."

He didn't linger after saying that; he ran straight towards the beach.

"Hey, Hayato-kun, wait!" Nijika tried to grab him, but missed, and then chased after him.

Ikuyo followed without hesitation, but as soon as she took a step, she subconsciously turned around and saw a face that said, "How old are you? Why are you still making such a fuss?" Without saying a word, the person grabbed her hand and the hand of the Hitori next to them and started running.

She yelled at the two people in front of her.

"Wait for us!"

Beside her, Hitori looked at Ishikawa Hayato not far away, smiling as she jogged along. Ryo also jogged along. She looked at the group of people who were stunned and smiled.

A moment later, at the beach, Ishikawa Hayato raised his hand high and said...

"I'm number one, you all owe me a wish!"

"Nobody would agree to that kind of thing with you!"

Nijika stopped beside him, took a couple of breaths, and complained.

The other three also arrived at the beach.

There were quite a few people here to watch the first sunrise of the new year; the beach seemed even more crowded than in the summer.

By this time, the eastern sky had turned completely red, and the light here was almost as bright as during the day.

Nijika looked in the direction of the sunrise, her face flushed red from the sunlight.

She glanced furtively at Ishikawa Hayato beside her, and the other girls, and said.

"Hayato-kun, you don't need to take such good care of us."

Without turning his head, Ishikawa Hayato said, "A bad mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship is a major factor that can easily destroy a husband-wife relationship."

Ryo had already figured out why Ishikawa Hayato was doing this, and he exposed it.

"We're not juggling multiple relationships, so we won't get scolded like you did on our first meeting."

Although she knew that Ishikawa Hayato had been caught in the rain, and she was happy to instinctively hold an umbrella for them, she also felt it was unnecessary.

Nijika and Ikuyo paused, thinking of the embarrassment Ishikawa Hayato would have when facing their elders. Hitori also thought about her parents, who were unaware of the true situation here.

But halfway through her thought, Hitori back to reality and quickly said, "But that's also why Hayabusa's mother accepted us so quickly."

Hitori's statement was something none of them could deny, since no one knew what would have happened if Ishikawa Hayato hadn't done it.

Ikuyo smiled, leaned forward, and turned to look at the group.

"Yes, considering the result, it's already very good!"

Liang smiled helplessly.

Now that they have all formally met each other's families and agreed to date, even if the five of them hold an unconventional wedding ceremony in the future, at least their parents will attend.

It was a huge test for Ishikawa Hayato's parents.

But Ishikawa Hayato believed his parents would definitely withstand the pressure! And he would fight to the death to prevent them from getting away!

Just as Ishikawa Hayato was about to take another look at the group, he noticed a change in the light in the distance.

He looked east and quickly pointed to the sea level to remind him.

244. Unity

After watching the sunrise, the five of them went to the shrine to pray.

We offered incense money together and made wishes together.

After clapping, Ishikawa Hayato made a wish for a happy marriage in front of the shrine. He bowed again, stood up, and left the long procession of worshippers with the girls, asking them what they wished for.

On the long stone steps, Ishikawa Hayato listened as Hitori said she hoped to be with him forever, Ikuyo said she wished for everything to go smoothly for the five of them, Nijika said she wished for her family to be safe and sound, and Nijika said she wanted to make a lot of money by selling songs.

Listening to their hopes for the future, Ishikawa Hayato smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand."

The girls noticed his attitude was problematic. Nijika called out, "Hayato-kun, you should be more respectful at the shrine." After calling out, she turned around and bowed to the shrine to apologize for Ishikawa Hayato's disrespect.

Ishikawa Hayato obediently bowed along with her.

He didn't believe in these things; making a wish was just a way of telling himself what was most important in his heart and what his priorities were.

That's all.

Led by the two, the other three also turned around and bowed.

After that, the five returned home and spent a rather absurd spring break, temporarily free from work due to the holiday.

January 10, 10 days after returning from the shrine visit.

After cleaning up the dishes, Nijika walked from the lobby to the rehearsal room with a strange expression.

She never expected that just two days after those absurd days ended, Liang would say he had created a new song.

Even someone as serious about composing as Ryo was a little incredulous for a moment.

At the end of the corridor, she opened the rehearsal room door and saw Liang sitting at the computer desk, with the other three people surrounding her.

Both Hitori and Ikuyo showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

Could the piece be surprisingly good?

As Nijika was thinking this, Liang noticed her arrival, lightly stepped on the ground, turned around, and looked at her.

A smug look appeared on her face, which others perceived as aloof and sophisticated. But it reminded Nijika of a completely different expression that had appeared on her face a few days ago.

"How is it?" Nijika ignored her and asked Ishikawa Hayato instead.

"Quite good, no wonder it's w..."

Before Ishikawa Hayato could finish his self-praise, Ryo interrupted.

"I'm the lead creator, you're the assistant."
