The Magician of Clow

Chapter 1511 Surprising News on a Beautiful Morning (Part 1)

The winter sun shines brightly, and the clear morning light fills the room.
A single slab of light gray marble countertop, clean and tidy cooktop and appliances, a complete set of custom-made high-end cabinets, and an integrated oven, microwave, and dishwasher.

The door panels close perfectly, and the matte lacquered surface exudes a sophisticated feel.

Standing in the kitchen of the magical boys, where the cost-effectiveness was a mystery, Gou Yu opened the cabinet door of the large refrigerator in the small house.

Looking at the refrigerator full of ingredients, I wondered what to make for breakfast. Considering the girls weren't up yet, and that I hadn't caught the cat stealing food today...

He finally took out a cake base, looked at the surviving result, and smiled.

Find a plate, carefully cut the cake base into small pieces, take out strawberries and chocolate sauce from the cupboard, the crisp sound of the spatula against the glass jar, peaceful and beautiful in the morning light of Gou Yuping's calm expression and the upscale kitchen.
After spreading the jam, he carried the cake out of the kitchen, thinking that Fang Ran should have this to tide her over.
Then I saw the two of them wrestling again just two minutes after I left.

"Damn it! Bro, you have such a foul mouth, I... I'll bite you to death!"

"Holy crap! Dude, are you a dog?! A gentleman uses words, not fists!"

Gou Yu remained calm.

At this moment, watching Fang Ran open his blood-red maw to bite Meng Lang, while Meng Lang frantically pushed Fang Ran's face away, the whole scene looked like a vampire who hadn't eaten for three years attacking a person.
Gou Yu held the cake base silently, finally managing only a helpless smile at this 'everyday scene':
"Captain, breakfast might take a while. If you're hungry, have some of this first."

"Um!?"

The moment those words were spoken, the effect was outstanding.
Originally attempting to bite Meng Lang's neck, the 'vampire' immediately abandoned the old man in front of it upon hearing about food, and quickly sat back down in its original position like a husky waiting for its meal.
Then, after Gou Yu placed the plate on the small table, he immediately transformed into a rice-eating machine and began to inhale the rice rapidly.

Meanwhile, having finally escaped the 'rabies crisis,' Meng Lang first breathed a sigh of relief at not being bitten, then stared speechlessly at Fang Ran's gluttonous eating manner, which seemed to say, 'The disaster relief food has finally arrived.'

Although I always enjoy seeing my younger brother get a good beating, seeing him hanging there all night, starving and desperate, made me feel...

Meng Lang couldn't help but ask with some sympathy:

"No, bro, what exactly happened to get you beaten up like this?"

Upon being asked this question, Fang Ran, who was stuffing cake crumbs into her mouth with both hands, paused slightly, then spoke with a pained expression:
"Because the incident in New York exposed it."

"I knew that had something to do with you!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Lang's eyes widened in shock. He had already guessed this, but no matter how he tried to get information out of this guy a few days ago, he just wouldn't admit it.

"So what exactly happened? Were you one of the A-rank high-ranking individuals who were secretly active that night?"

"No, I was the one who started it that night."

rash:??

Upon hearing his outrageous admission, and curious about the inside story of the world's biggest news story about the night battle these past few days, Meng Lang quickly pressed for details, while Gou Yu, standing beside him, also wore an inquisitive expression.

Since everything had already been dealt with, and he wasn't afraid of being reported, Fang Ran quietly recounted the events of that night in New York, only mentioning what he could say.

Then after listening
Both of them looked at him with expressions of utter astonishment.

"I suddenly feel that Her Majesty the Queen is too merciful; she didn't kill you."

Hearing that he was the mastermind behind that night, and that he had first set a deadline and then fought to the bitter end, the sympathy he had felt earlier vanished instantly. Meng Lang sighed in disbelief.

Gou Yu found that level of understanding somewhat hard to comprehend, but looking at Fang Ran at this moment, he felt something was off:
"Captain, is there no other reason?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ran, who was wolfing down his food, froze. He was too embarrassed to say that the second half of the host might get caught secretly watching movies using 'VR'.
After a moment of silence, he silently and guiltily turned his head away.
"No."

There's definitely something else out there ×2
At this moment, Meng Lang and Gou Yu both looked at him speechlessly. Then, while the magical boys chatted idly in the winter morning light,

In the living room of the small house, the door on the floor was pushed open from below, and a tall and beautiful figure came upstairs.

A pair of chocolate-colored tights outlined her long, straight legs, with slender and well-proportioned calves. Her loose, soft, off-white knit top draped down to the mid-thighs of her shapely, firm thighs.
Beneath the loose, flowing bangs, her fair and beautiful face exudes a gentle and ethereal beauty.

Xia Yao woke up the earliest among the girls today. When she arrived in the living room and saw Fang, she smiled brightly:
Good morning, junior.

"Ah, Zao-senpai."

Upon seeing Xia Yao come up, Fang Ran quickly restrained his eating habits, wiping his mouth clean and pretending nothing was wrong.
Seeing his actions, Xia Yao smiled and then greeted Meng Lang and Gou Yu.

"Then I'll go prepare breakfast first."

Seeing that Xia Yao was already awake, and thinking that it was about time to make breakfast, Gou Yu got up and went to the kitchen again.
After watching him leave, she naturally sat down next to Fang Ran, crossing her long legs at one side.
Xia Yao glanced at the half-eaten cake base on the small table, then looked at the young man beside her and smiled:

"Have you already started eating breakfast, junior? Do you need me to get you something else?"

Bright eyes, slender, bony ankles, long, dark legs that exude a soft feel, a strand of slightly curled hair falling to the pale side of her neck at her collar.
As the campus beauty and senior student sat down beside him and entered his field of vision, his gaze involuntarily lingered for a while.

Fang Ran quickly snapped out of her daze, looked away, and replied insincerely:
"No need, senior. I'm just having a quick bite before dinner, I'm not very hungry."

"Is it."

Hearing him say that, Xia Yao blinked, seemingly wanting to say something, but without warning, she suddenly leaned closer, staring intently at Fang Ran without uttering a word.

The distance suddenly shortened, and under the participants' excellent eyesight,
Fang Ran could even see her individual eyelashes, trembling slightly in the morning light, her warm breath brushing against him almost imperceptibly, carrying Xia Yao's unique and pleasant scent.

Huh!?

"Senior...?"

The moment he saw that beautiful face approaching, he froze, his heart skipped a beat, and he had no idea what Xia Yao was suddenly going to do.
For a moment, he was at a loss and could only watch her approach little by little, her fair skin magnified through the loose neckline, her slender waist gradually becoming within reach.

Then, just as Fang Ran started to panic—

Xia Yao stretched out a finger and gently and carefully wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Junior, there's still some jam left to wipe off."

"Huh? Oh...oh...oh!"

The cool fingertips brushed against my cheek with a gentle touch, and then I heard Xia Yao's clear, slightly mischievous yet triumphant laugh.

Fang Ran quickly snapped out of her daze and wiped the ink from the corner of her mouth as she replied.
Then he quickly grabbed the cake in front of him, not caring about his eating manners, and stuffed two bites into it as if to cover something up.

At this moment, Xia Yao rested her hands on the small table, the bright morning light streaming into the little house. She watched with a smile as the young man devoured his cake, as if witnessing something delightful.

Watching Fang Ran eat so fast that her cheeks were bulging, I couldn't help but reach out and gently poke them with my finger.

The next second, as Fang Ran's eyes widened and he exclaimed "Giu!" while shrinking back, Xia Yao smiled radiantly, her eyes brimming with uncontrollable joy.
"Junior, you're just like a hamster now."

Fang, the hamster, blushed.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the small table,
I've been sitting here since just now, witnessing this whole scene from beginning to end. In the beauty of this early morning, I deeply felt the superfluity of my existence, and regretted not going to the kitchen with Xiao Huo earlier.
Meng Lang, with an expression that seemed to say, 'I shouldn't be here, I should be under the car,' silently stared at Fang Ran.

Can I kick him?
Although it's not particularly abrupt, I just wanted to write about Xia Yao's daily life. I forgot to mention this after I had writer's block before. After those two chapters before New Year's Day, I saw many supportive comments from readers, which reminds me every now and then. Thank you for your continued support, which has kept me going and helped me get to where I am today (thumbs up).
