"......"

Seeing Kazuha's serious expression, Mai knew that nothing she said would make a difference. After glaring at Chen Lin, Mai turned and went back to her room, leaving the living room to the three of them.

Looking at the confident Kaname, Elio tilted her head and smiled gently, "Should I go first this time, or should Miss Mai go first?"

Eriol's smile made Kazuha feel like she was looking down on her, so... no way.

"I'll go first."

As Kazuka walked up to Chen Lin, she subconsciously swallowed, her gaze involuntarily falling on Elio beside her... If Elio allowed it, Kazuka really wanted to measure her with a ruler. Was her petite figure really okay?

Luckily, I'm now in my older sister's body... otherwise I really wouldn't dare!

Seeing the unease in Hehua's heart, Chen Lin embraced her.

"Don't be nervous, just leave it to me."

The root cause of Hehua's adolescent syndrome is stress—stress from the internet, stress from her mother, and stress from herself...

"!!!"

Feeling the warmth from behind, feeling the warmth from the palms on her head, Hana's eyes became moist.

Just like... a father.

In front of her mother, Kazuka strives to be like Mai, and she never shows any weakness.

Now, Hana can more or less understand why Mai liked Chen Lin before... Her older sister also experienced puberty syndrome before. Although she doesn't know exactly what happened, it must have been when her older sister was lonely and desperate that Chen Lin gave her a gentle embrace.

Unlike the sentimental girl who became emotional because of the hug, there were a few things that Chen Lin was very curious about.

The first question is, although Hana's appearance is the same as Mai's, is her body the same as Mai's?

Unless Kaname and Mai return to their original forms and Chen Lin makes a comparison, Chen Lin has no way to make a comparison.

There is also a second question.

If I eat the flower now, will the proof of its purity still be preserved after the flower returns to its original state?

Chen Lin couldn't verify the first question, but the second question... well, we can start verifying it now.

Chapter 245 and the method of relieving stress with flowers

"Mr. Advisor... one last act of assistance before they come to pick me up..."

A seductive female voice that captivated Kazuka woke her from her sleep, and before she even opened her eyes, the air was filled with an ambiguous floral fragrance.

When I opened my eyes, what appeared before me was not the familiar ceiling, but the familiar faces of those who had shared my hardships.

"!?"

It was no longer night outside the window; the morning sun had already climbed onto the windowsill.

Kazuha doesn't remember when she lost consciousness. At first, she experienced his gentleness, and then... then Elio seemed to whisper something like "twice" in her ear.

I don't quite remember what happened next. Did I win? Or did Elio win?

But that doesn't matter anymore... Right now, Hana just feels warm all over.

Public opinion online, pressure from her mother, her sister's inferiority complex, Elio's despair... it all seemed to matter to her now.

My sister is no longer an unattainable and forever unsurpassable goal... Although I haven't surpassed my sister in my acting career, I have become the sister in the role of a woman, surpassed my sister, and finally even outshone my sister, making the man my sister liked fall for me.

Elio is no longer the mermaid idol who can outweigh ten years of hard work with just a few words; she is also a girl who can flirt with men and show her cute side.

The image reflected in Elio's watery purple eyes was not Sakurajima Mai, but Toyohama Kazuka.

She doesn't need to be Mai Sakurajima; she is Kazuka Toyohama.

Ignoring Elio, who was leaning on her and making an embarrassing face, Kazuha took out her phone, which she had tossed aside, and unlocked it. Her mother had sent her nearly a hundred messages that night.

Even without looking at the content, the sheer number of messages is suffocating.

Puberty syndrome and the stress of being a "flower mom" account for at least 90% of the reasons.

However, Kaori doesn't dislike her mother; she wants her approval and wants to make her happy.

In the past, Kazuka would instinctively hold her breath when she felt her phone vibrate, but now she has calmed down.

We need to learn from them, not try to become them.

"Mom, I trained with Elliot last night."

Mom will definitely be happy with this answer.

She placed her phone in the corner of the sofa, and with a glance past Elio, whose eyes were slightly rolled up, she looked at Chen Lin.

"Who won the third match?" Although the result was no longer important, Kazuha still joked with a smile.

Her dazed eyes refocused, and a mischievous smirk played on Elio's lips. "This time, you and Miss Hana have won, but... I won't admit defeat, you know. Behind me is the entire Mermaid Idol Group~"

"!?" Kazuka was stunned for a moment, the entire mermaid idol group...!?

To say it at a time like this definitely means they're more than just ordinary friends. Could it be that her enemy isn't just Erio, but the entire mermaid idol group?!

"That's right, does Miss Hana really think she can beat us?"

Chen Lin patted Elio, the crisp sound silencing her, leaving only a shy moan.

"How are you feeling now? Any better?" Chen Lin asked Kazuka while helping Elio.

"Huh...me? Hmm...I feel much better. Is my puberty syndrome over?"

I felt a sense of relief, both physically and mentally, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

But speaking of being relaxed... this guy is probably the most relaxed, right?

She can actually do this with Elio while casually chatting with herself... Just how many girls have outdone her?

But... if that's the case, wouldn't one more of me make a difference?

"It's only temporarily better. Puberty syndrome is a subjective phenomenon and it can relapse before puberty ends. This time, you probably turned into Mai because you were under too much pressure and wanted to escape."

One lie requires ten lies to cover it up.

Taking advantage of Hua's good mood, Chen Lin told her the truth, as keeping it a secret now would have more serious consequences if it were discovered later.

After listening, Hua's expression was complicated.

I've always known that I'm running away from things.

Envy and jealousy towards her older sister, despair towards Elio, pressure from the internet, and pressure from her mother.

Beating Ario? How could that be? It was just a show. Besides, she had the whole mermaid idol group behind her. However, she wanted to promote me and temporarily lent me her man in order to cure her puberty syndrome.

Although she was very touched, she still had one question.

Last night...were he and his sister really acting?

My sister is a great actress, but... it doesn't seem like acting.

It was like a dream, in which I was awesome and my sister defeated the mermaid idol Erio.

Although it was just a dream, I felt a sense of loss after waking up, but the heavy burden on my shoulders was indeed lifted, and I felt much lighter.

"Th...thank you." After glancing cautiously at Chen Lin, He Hua immediately looked away. Her lips trembled for a while before she finally spoke in a haughty, low voice, "In the future...when I feel stressed, can I come to you?"

Unlike her sister, she is an idol who is not allowed to date, as any relationship discovered would be a devastating blow to her career.

If the entire mermaid idol group is like this, then it's normal for me to occasionally relieve stress when I'm tired or under a lot of pressure, just like I did last night!

This kind of relationship—not lovers but maintaining a purely platonic friendship—is called... friends who set off firecrackers together?

And another thing! My sister didn't seem to be acting last night.

Although the mermaid idol group is very strong, my sister clearly likes him but gave up without even trying to take him away.

My sister is definitely no less talented than anyone else in the mermaid idol group!

"Hmm... Of course, no problem!"

Before Chen Lin could speak, Elio agreed to meet Hua on his behalf, and Chen Lin casually patted Elio's butt.

"As long as...as long as someone likes the advisor, they're a comrade. Of course, I didn't ask...~!!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, the arm that had been supporting Kazuka's cheek lost its strength after a brief moment of tension, and he collapsed onto Kazuka's body.

Chen Lin glanced at the time. "There's still some time before class starts. Hua, do you want to continue relieving stress?"

Hana glanced guiltily at Mai's room.

My sister doesn't seem to be up yet?

While my sister was sleeping at her house, I lay on her sofa with the person she liked...

"Um......"

Chapter 246 and the Flowers: Everyone is under a lot of pressure.

With the burden off her shoulders lifted, all the pressure vanished, and Hehua felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

Although there's still some time, well...
