I finally know why Wu YunFei was always chased and beaten by his father when he was a kid. (///—皿—)○～ This guy is too naughty¹!

He actually changed the wifi password when I wasn’t looking!

I pressed down my anger and asked him what he wanted to do. To my surprise, he answered me with his own question, asking if I find this kind of him pure and unpretentious, unlike the pretty and flirtatious cheap goods outside. 

I really wanted to use the sole of my shoe to slap him awake!

Where was he pure and unpretentious? He’s clearly asking for a beating!

If he continues to act like this², he’ll be shot dead in a beach sooner or later. (* ￣︿￣)

I told him to quickly tell me the wifi password, but he kept on laughing, as if annoying me made him very happy.

“Stop laughing!” I raised a leg to kick him, but he managed to dodge.

“‘Noblemen use their words, not their fists³‘! This is what you said.” He laughed, “We’ve fought for so many years, but you’ve never once won against me.”

What a joke! I can’t win against him?

I was clearly afraid of trouble. Worried that he’d call me over during his fights, I’ve always deliberately admit defeat.

Come to think of it, he’s calmed down a lot recently. It’s been quite a while since he fought with others.

“I’m mixed in with the fashion circle now. It’s not classy to fight with those people.” He then proceeded to make a show of tidying up his clothes, as if what he was wearing wasn’t pajamas but some kind of high-end, custom-made suit.

I couldn’t suppress my laughter.

Back then, I didn’t think he had the talent to become a designer even though he was studying design.

When he first chose his primary major, he probably saw that there were mostly girls in design and that the courses weren’t difficult, so he pretended to have a dream of becoming a designer!

“Don’t talk nonsense! Quickly tell me the wifi password!” I patted him and smiled, “Other people don’t know why you chose this major, but don’t I know?”

“Do you really know?” he asked back.

Although he smiled as he said this, I felt like his expression was somewhat bitter. 

Was it my imagination?

I was just about to ask when he suddenly came closer and put his chin on my shoulder.

“I’m so happy,” he whispered.

Confused by this random sentence, I asked:

“Is that the first part of the wifi password?”

He straightened and gave me a resentful glance. Feigning sadness, he said, “I’m not happy anymore. All you care about is the wifi password, not me.”

(￣_￣|||) He’s not a little girl, don’t tell me I always have to adhere to his moods?

However, given that he’s holding important information (wifi password), I grudgingly decided to play along.

“Why are you happy?” I sighed.

“You said that so reluctantly. Can you be a bit more mindful?” He leaned back on the sofa like an uncle. “You call yourself an otaku⁴, but you don’t understand the routine at all.”

The protagonists in anime live with cute girls! I’m living together with a big rough guy!

How can they be the same?!

“Nevermind, just drop it. I have to use the internet these days. When you roll back home, reset the password.” I gave him a big eye roll.

I’m not gay; I have no interest in caring for the same sex! Why does he have to make fun of me so early in the morning?!

Maybe he woke up and saw that the stocks had gone up?

Thinking of stocks, I subconsciously pulled out my phone to check today’s market trend.

“You’re so boring. No wonder you can’t find a girlfriend,” he turned his back to me.

“You’re not my girlfriend. Do I have to coax you to make you happy?” I asked back.

“You’re really different from thone tyrant bosses in novels. According to the trend, when you found out that I had changed the wifi password, you should’ve said, ‘you’ve succeeded in attracting my attention’.”

Emmm, where did he read something so stereotypical? An ancient romance novel from ten years ago?

“You have succeeded in attracting my attention,” in order to satisfy his heart’s fantasy, I put my phone back in my pocket and seriously said. “Did I lose my mind back then? Why did I agree to let you, this scourge, in my home?”

“Do you regret it now? It’s too late!” He laughed heartily, his expression not one of shame but of proudness. He looked like he needed a spanking.

However, he abruptly stopped laughing and asked, “What if I were a girl?”

“If you were a girl?” I didn’t quite understand what he meant.

He suddenly became a little shy, “If I were a girl and changed your wifi password, what would you think?”

“Don’t worry, there’s no girl who’s a sand sculpture like you,” I said.

This guy was unwilling to give up on the topic, insisting that I must answer.

“It depends on who the girl is.” I thought for a while and said, “If we’re not familiar… If we’re not familiar, she wouldn’t be able to enter my home.”

“What if I were to become a woman?” he asked.

If he were to become a woman?

I looked him up and down, my brain trying to imagine what he would look like if he were female.

To be honest, he has an androgynous face. Although I like cute girls, if he still has this face after a sex change, I wouldn’t find it hard to accept.

As for his figure… I don’t really want my future girlfriend to be too skinny; it’s best to hug her if she’s squishy. o(*￣▽￣*)o He’s too thin. 

“Have you thought about it yet?” he asked.

I don’t know why, but this guy seemed a little flushed.

When I was thinking about my future girlfriend a moment ago, did my body have an indescribable reaction? 

I glanced down subconsciously, but found nothing wrong.

If I think about it, this guy seems to be blushing especially easily these days. 

He wasn’t like this before.

Is it because the heater in my home is too hot?

“Yeah… If you were a girl, I definitely wouldn’t let you stay here. After all, men and women should not be too close. Even if we’re childhood friends, an unmarried man and woman shouldn’t live together.”

He began laughing before I could finish.

“Are you from the ancient times? ‘Men and women should not be too close’? What a joke!” 

“It’s called being a gentleman!” I refuted.

Then again, if he really were a girl, wouldn’t the two of us most likely be engaged by now? It’s not impossible for us to be living together.

But if he were a girl, he wouldn’t be as unrestrained as he is now. 

At least he (she?) wouldn’t get dead drunk at a bar and tell me to pick him (her?) up.

“What are you thinking?”

He suddenly moved closer, and I couldn’t help but think back to that night.

At the bar counter, he seemed to have also been this close…

Remaining calm, I took a step back and said, “I’m analysing the wifi password.”

I don’t know why I was lying.

Maybe… I really wanted to know the wifi password.

Translator’s Notes

^{1. 欠抽 I really don’t know how to translate that. ↩}

^{2. Original is, “If he likes to be a wave(浪) so much…” “Wave” here is a term used to describe a cynical person who doesn’t follow common sense. ↩}

^{3. I’m pretty sure YunFei was the one who said that last chapter, but maybe the author means before? ↩}

^{4. Japanese term for people with obsessive interests like anime, manga, video games, etc… ↩}

Naeda’s Log: ScreamsIntoTheVoid.jpg –Also: “I have no interest in caring for the same sex.” The fact that YunFei is all you talk about in your diar–journal says otherwise. ε- (´ー`*)
