Her sister's words startled Sen Qingye, who didn't react for a moment.

I've been laughing too much...me?

Mori Kiyoha was momentarily confused. What did her sister mean by that? And why was she laughing?

Did she unconsciously feel that her life had become different and happier than before?

If so, why would such a change occur?

Thinking about such questions is a bit too difficult for Mori Kiyoha, because what she is least good at is figuring out her own feelings.

After thinking for a while, she looked at her sister and said, "Thank you."

Mori Shizue was a little dumbfounded, shook her head helplessly, and said, "You and Akatsuki are both clumsy people."

"What? What does it have to do with him?" Mori Kiyoha frowned, but unlike with outsiders, she didn't boss her sister around like that.

Mori Shizue stepped forward and gently pinched Mori Kiyoha's cheeks with both hands: "I've lived with you for almost eighteen years. If I could really make you smile like that, you wouldn't be as troubled as before, and you wouldn't have done such a foolish thing."

Mori Kiyoha made two "oohs" sounds, then realized she was making strange noises, glared at Mori Shizue, and slapped her hand away.

Then, Mori Kiyoha looked around, lowered her voice, and said, "You know why I'm thanking you."

"Hmph, how cheesy." Mori Shizue mimicked her expression, gave a light snort, and asked, "Enough with the small talk, I want to ask you, where is Kirihara-kun right now?"

"Why are you asking me?" Mori Kiyoha rolled her eyes, looking like she couldn't be bothered to answer.

"You've been spending way more time with him than with me lately, as if nobody knows that." Mori Shizue rolled her eyes back.

"..." Mori Kiyoha was rendered silent by her sister.

She thought about it and realized that it made sense.

This would never have happened before.

"I don't want to, and I can't stop you. I've already told you bad things about him," Mori Shizue said, gesturing with her lips. "But you still need to be careful not to offend our mother."

"She doesn't need us to provoke her; she'll attack me on her own." Mori Kiyoha sneered twice and said, "Kirigara Akira should be in the studio right now."

"studio?"

"He didn't mention it to you?" Mori Kiyoha said.

Mori Shizue recalled that Kirihara Akira had mentioned it to her, but when she pressed him for details later, Kirihara Akira didn't explain it clearly, saying that the time wasn't right yet.

Mori Shizue asked, "You've been there?"

"I've never been before, but I'm thinking of going for the first time today," said Mori Kiyoha.

Mori Shizue took out a book and said, "Then please give this book to Kirihara-kun for me."

"understood."

......

......

Yaokong Music Studio.

Kirihara Akatsuki leaned against the window and said, "The Second Miss is coming today. Are you all ready?"

"What are you preparing?" Shiori Kisaragi asked awkwardly as she played the keyboard in F major, struggling to muster the energy to answer.

Kirihara Akira said, "The Second Miss is usually accompanied by two bodyguards. The Mori family's bodyguard team is managed by an old man who is loyal to the Madam. So, as soon as the Second Miss comes here, the Madam probably knows about this place."

"This lady is not someone to be trifled with; she might expose your identity."

Shiori Kisaragi shook her head and said, "This is what my superiors require. I've thought about this issue, and I've considered whether to limit the meeting to the school, but my superiors have instructed me to meet with Kiyoha Mori here."

"..." Kirihara Akira was a little speechless and said, "Does the Metropolitan Police Department really want to put you undercover? I feel like they're just messing around."

"I am acting under orders today, and I am well prepared," Shiori Kisaragi said without looking up, her words carrying a profound meaning.

"Hey, hey, hey, why did you stop? Keep going!" Kirihara Akira urged her to practice quickly.

Kisaragi Shiori sighed, "I don't want to practice anymore. I want to drink. I want to rest for a day."

This guy has become more and more relaxed after we got to know each other. At first, he at least pretended, but now he's completely showing his pathetic personality.

Kirihara Akira said, "Hurry up and practice! You're a music teacher, and you still can't even play the electronic keyboard properly. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Kisaragi Shiori exhaled, "It's not shameful at all! I said it's not shameful, so it's not shameful!"

......

Their daily bickering quickly escalated into them breathing on each other. Although Shiori Kisaragi was stubborn, she still had basic professional ethics. She practiced breathing on each other while doing so, and the more she practiced, the redder she became.

So when someone knocked on the door, they didn't hear anything.

When the person outside opened the door by themselves, Kisaragi Shiori was almost caught off guard.

Sen Qingye leaned against the door, arms crossed. Her expression shifted from a slight surprise upon entering, to a coldness upon seeing the two men, both flushed and panting. She said, "Did I come at the wrong time?"

Kisaragi Shiori straightened her collar, took a breath, and said, "No, you've come at just the right time."

If Mori Kiyoha doesn't come soon, she's going to be driven to the brink of collapse by Kirihara Akira's scolding.

She stood up and said, "Please sit down, Mori Kiyoha."

Mori Kiyoha didn't stand on ceremony at all, and went straight to sit on the sofa, saying, "Coffee, thank you."

"Instant dispensing only."

Mori Kiyoha looked at Kisaragi Shiori, who was dressed in casual clothes and bent over, revealing her curvaceous waistline, and a hint of wariness flashed in her eyes.

She said, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known there was a music studio here. How come there's no one here?"

"Maybe it's because the GG she used didn't work well." Kirihara Akatsuki lied through her teeth; in fact, Kisaragi Shiori had already removed the GG.

"Hmph." Mori Kiyoha drawled, neither confirming nor denying: "This place is so close to Dongcheng, students often come here to hang out. As long as one student comes, someone will naturally go back to play GG, after all, the teacher who teaches here is a beautiful teacher from the school."

After brewing the coffee, Shiori Kisaragi came over with the tray and continued the conversation: "I didn't mention it to anyone at school. Kirihara-kun finding this place was entirely by accident."

Before today, Shiori Kisaragi had already met Kiyoha Mori two or three times at school.

Mori Kiyoha suddenly narrowed her eyes, staring at the hot music teacher, and said to herself, "I seriously doubt whether you can actually sing."

Shiori Kisaragi's body tensed suddenly, then quickly relaxed again. She smiled and asked, "Why do you think that?"

"There are always rumors like this at school, just some busybodies spreading them," Mori Kiyoha said. "But it's understandable, since nobody at school has actually heard you sing."

Kisaragi Shiori was sweating profusely.

She didn't go to school often before, so there wasn't much questioning from others. But recently, in order to get to know the two young ladies of the Mori family, she's been showing her face at school quite often.

Although she didn't know whether the rumors Mori Kiyoha had made were true, now that Mori Kiyoha was questioning her, she had to find a way to respond.

She glanced at Kirihara Akira, who immediately understood: "The song 'Jealousy' that I sang for you yesterday was her work."
