The Kirigaya Family's Daily Life

Checking the time, it was almost noon. Kazuto Kirigaya thought for a moment and decided to go home for lunch. After telling Yuuki Asuna, he prepared to end the day's lessons. ♬💢 💘♧

Yuuki Asuna was still frowning in thought. She casually asked, "Are you coming this afternoon?"

Kazuto Kirigaya smiled and said, "Don't you always complain about not having your own time? I won't come this afternoon. You can arrange your time as you please. But now, we're all in the same boat, our interests are aligned. Just don't fall behind on your lessons."

Yuuki Asuna nodded and said no more.

Yuuki Asuna's attitude surprised Kazuto Kirigaya a little. Logically, she should have been dissatisfied with her mother's strict upbringing for so long. Now that she encountered Kazuto Kirigaya's laissez-faire education, she should have been ecstatic.

Why was she so calm?

After Kazuto Kirigaya put on his shoes and left, Yuuki Asuna sat obediently on the chair. When she heard the sound of the front door closing from the entrance, her expression brightened.

She stood up and shouted "Yeah!" rushing out of the living room straight to her room.

She had her own things to attend to.

Unhappy? Calm?

Fake, all fake. She had finally escaped her restraints, how could she not be happy?

It was just that she couldn't act out due to her pride as a girl.

On the other side, Kazuto Kirigaya yawned as he left Yuuki Asuna's house. The midday sun was high in the sky, and the glaring sunlight made it almost impossible for the young man to open his eyes.

Only after he adjusted to the light did he slowly start walking forward.

Upon returning home, he ran into Sugong Zhiye.

Kazuto Kirigaya smiled and said, "Zhiye, you're home?"

"Mm," Sugong Zhiye replied indifferently.

"How are things at school? If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me, and I'll teach you." Kazuto Kirigaya moved aside, letting Zhiye go ahead to open the door.

He didn't have a key. Sugong Zhiye glanced indifferently at the young man and walked forward, using her key to open the door.

As she opened the door, she suddenly asked, "What have you been going out for lately? I seem to see you going out all the time."

"I took on a part-time job, teaching a student," Kazuto Kirigaya said nonchalantly.

Sugong Zhiye fell into thought.

"A part-time job? Indeed, with his abilities, he is certainly qualified," Sugong Zhiye mused to herself.

Thinking of the table full of honor certificates and qualifications he had, she remained silent.

She was not much younger than the young man in front of her, but in front of this monstrous young man, she couldn't help but feel inferior.

She had originally thought that the young man must be extremely self-disciplined, and that such people were more likely to succeed. At the same time, such people had higher expectations for others.

Sugong Zhiye had expected her future life to be spent in hardship.

On the first day the young man entered their home, she was still anxious.

It wasn't until she watched Kazuto Kirigaya play games with Kazuto Kirigaya for three days straight that Sugong Zhiye fell silent.

This elder brother was not strict at all; on the contrary, he was incredibly lenient.

This was a huge shock to Sugong Zhiye, who had always been methodical.

One day, she suddenly found Kazuto Kirigaya and asked him, "Shouldn't everyone study hard? Then abide by their principles, get into good high schools, go to good universities, and then find a good job. Shouldn't everyone work hard like this?"

Kazuto Kirigaya looked at Sugong Zhiye with a surprised gaze. She still remembered that look. His jewel-like golden eyes were like a deep spring, and his clear eyes made people instinctively trust his words.

But what Kazuto Kirigaya said was not pleasant. He said, "Do whatever you want. I will support you no matter what you like to do. Even if you become a good-for-nothing, I can support you. Don't you think the life of an ordinary person is too bland?"

Sugong Zhiye opened her mouth, as if wanting to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

The answer the young man gave her did not satisfy her.

Zhiye was a serious girl, and she did everything meticulously.

In comparison, Kazuto Kirigaya was too casual. But after spending a long time with Kazuto Kirigaya, one would find him to be a very charming person.

He was a bit lazy, but he never shirked his responsibilities when something needed to be done. Her mother was really something, making her eldest brother do everything and completely leaving him to his own devices.

The young man cooked all the meals at home.

Thinking of this, Sugong Zhiye quickly stepped forward and pulled out a chair for the young man. To Kazuto Kirigaya's astonished gaze, she pushed him and pointed to the chair, gesturing for him to sit down.

Although her mother and second brother didn't understand her eldest brother's hardships, as the last remaining dignity of the Kirigaya family, she had to step forward.

Sugong Zhiye's usually indifferent expression was solemn and serious. She said, "Brother, sit..."

Kazuto Kirigaya sat down, looking somewhat strange.

He felt that his sister was acting weird.

"Yo, big brother's back! What's for dinner today?" Kazuto Kirigaya was looking at videos on his phone when he saw Kazuto Kirigaya and was overjoyed.

Then he was glared at fiercely by Sugong Zhiye.

Kazuto Kirigaya was full of questions. He didn't understand why Zhiye was glaring at him. He thought, wasn't it always like this before?

He asked doubtfully, "Zhiye, you don't want to eat big brother's cooking?"

Sugong Zhiye's face turned red. Thinking of her brother's delicious cooking, she swallowed. In the end, she succumbed to her appetite and said, "I want to eat."

Since you want to eat, why are you glaring at me?

Kazuto Kirigaya felt even more baffled.

Girls really think about so many things.

Kazuto Kirigaya and Kazuto Kirigaya exchanged a silent glance.

He sighed, stood up, and said, "There's still beef at home. I'll make everyone braised beef. This dish is very famous in China."

"Braised beef." Kazuto Kirigaya swallowed hard.

Gulp Gulp

Why were there two gulping sounds? Kazuto Kirigaya subconsciously looked at Sugong Zhiye.

He chuckled, "Sugong Zhiye, do you like beef too?"

Then he teased, "Sugong Zhiye doesn't just like beef, she likes everything her big brother makes, right?"

Sugong Zhiye glared angrily at Kazuto Kirigaya, clenching her fists, ready to let Kazuto Kirigaya know his place in the family.

Kazuto Kirigaya's mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his hands in surrender.

Kazuto Kirigaya stood by, finding the scene between the two amusing.

He got up and went to the kitchen to cook, playing the popular music of this world on his phone. He took out the beef to thaw, and got out the scallions, ginger, chili peppers, and celery.

He cut the scallions into small sections, the ginger into slices, the celery into sections, and the chili peppers into sections, setting them aside.

The young man's cooking skills were superb, or perhaps everything passed down from the Chinese ancestors was top-notch delicious. He often used the simplest cooking methods to create the most delicious dishes.
