She hesitated for only two seconds before shaking her head vigorously. Then, her face flushed, she bit her lip and replied, "No, I have to fulfill my duty today!"

She won't stop until she 'calms down'; her stubborn and obstinate nature prevents her from doing so.

Kazami Mei, who deeply understood this principle, had no way to deal with it, but in his desperation, he thought of something.

"Wait! How about this..."

Kazami Mei took a deep breath and glanced down at her long, beautiful legs.

……

Shiina Maki's feelings were complicated.

She was supposed to have dinner with friends today, so she left home early. However, her friend had to leave early due to work with the band, which forced Shiina Maki to go home early. Little did she know that she would stumble upon something terrible.

She had just gotten home when she heard someone upstairs say, "I like you."

As Shiina Tatsuki's older sister of sixteen years, Shiina Maki immediately recognized her younger sister's voice. Curious, she couldn't resist sneaking upstairs to eavesdrop, but what she heard next...

"Wow... Little Lixi is way too, too daring!"

Although the sounds coming from the room were somewhat muffled, Shiina Maki still vaguely sensed that her younger sister seemed to be forcing Naruto. Recalling her sister's usual tough and cold personality, she could almost picture it in her mind.

But suddenly there was no sound from inside, which made Shiina Maki extremely curious.

That shouldn't be the case, why is there no sound at all?

What exactly happened inside?!

Even pressing her ear to the door couldn't calm her racing mind. With no other option, Shiina Maki went downstairs to cut some fresh fruit, brewed twice the amount of hot coffee, and waited for nearly thirty minutes before finally mustering the courage to come up.

dong dong...

"Little Lixi~ Mingjun, I've brought you some snacks and drinks!"

As soon as Shiina Maki knocked on the door, there seemed to be some commotion inside. After a while, Shiina Tatsuki, whose ears were red, slowly opened the door. This usually cold and aloof younger sister was incredibly soft and gentle at this moment, only frowning as she took the plate from her hand.

"Maki, why did you suddenly come back?"

Did my sister accidentally get in your way?

Shiina Maki smiled jokingly, taking the opportunity to carefully observe the interior of the room.

The curtains and windows, which were usually tightly drawn, were open. Kazami Mei, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, nodded to her with a calm yet polite smile. Apart from that, there seemed to be nothing unusual, and even the bed seemed to be without any wrinkles.

But what's in front of me is little Lixi...

Her clothes were neat and tidy, but her delicate and pretty face was flushed red, and her lip gloss was slightly smudged.

"It's just a matter of dealing with ensemble issues!"

Shiina Tatsuki explained coldly.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you should go down now!"

Shiina Ritsuki seemed to mind Shiina Maki's wandering gaze. Already impatient, she immediately showed some displeasure, reached out and pushed her out the door, then quickly closed the door again.

"Eh?! But I haven't even spoken to Naruto yet!"

Shiina Maki, who was locked out of the door, was dumbfounded.

"No, what happened?!"

She had only been joking and teasing Lixi before, but who knew that her proud little sister would be so proactive?

Shiina Maki had no idea how far things had progressed between the two of them, but in her opinion, they had at least successfully started dating and become a couple.

Given Riki's proud and aloof personality, Shiina Maki thought it would be nothing more than a light hand-holding or a fleeting sweet kiss. Who knew that her proud little sister was actually a predator!

They were fighting over food!

"I'm doomed, I'm doomed! Now I'm really left far behind..."

As a college student, Shiina Maki completely lost her usual composure. You know, she has been in an all-girls school since she was a child and has never been in a relationship. Her extremely arrogant younger sister actually climbed the ladder of adulthood faster than her!

How could such a thing happen?!

Shiina Riki had no idea what her older sister was thinking. After closing the door, her beautiful face was like a red rose in late spring or early summer. Her taut face had a faint cherry pink tinge, and her raven-feather-like, slender, and jet-black eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.

The black-haired girl returned to Kazami's arms, unable to resist covering her flushed face with her hands.

"I hope my sister didn't notice anything, right?"

"I don't think so, right?"

That is, provided she hadn't been eavesdropping beforehand.

Sitting there, Shiina Riki couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She tried to glare at her boyfriend with her sharpest eyes, but she softened the moment she raised her head. In the end, she could only vent her anger by banging her head against his chest.

"It's all your fault!"

Kazami Mei immediately put on a serious expression and couldn't help but retort, "Don't make baseless accusations. I said from the beginning that it wouldn't work."

That's right, it's all because Miss Lixi is too horny!

Upon hearing this, Shiina Tatsuki immediately glared at him and said with displeasure, "So you mean it's my fault?"

"Sigh, it's all my fault."

Seeing that Kazami Mei had taken the initiative to 'apologize', Shiina Tatsuki nodded. However, perhaps thinking of something, she glanced in a certain direction and then tentatively continued, "Anything else?"

Kazami Mei paused, then answered uncertainly, "It should... be gone?"

"Pervert! There will absolutely be no next time!"

Shiina Tatsuki gritted his teeth, his seemingly fierce expression actually lacking any intimidating power.

"Lixi, is there really no next time?"

Shiina, who was already easily moved to pity, saw the look in Kazami's eyes. While being held in his arms, she struggled symbolically for a moment, but finally said coldly, "...Tsk, whatever."

Now she understands why Kazami Mei always sneaks peeks at her legs.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Interfering in Her Life.

Human nature tends to favor compromise and moderation. For example, if you say, "This room is too dark, we need to open a window here," everyone will definitely object. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will compromise and agree to open a window.

Overwhelmed with mixed feelings, Kazami Mei looked up, glancing at the room on the second floor out of the corner of her eye.

Kazami Mei really hadn't expected that Shiina Tatsuki, who had completely abandoned her 'reserve' after confirming their relationship, would be so stubborn. Even he couldn't overcome her obstinacy, and in the end, they could only compromise.

As a result, the two had only just confirmed their relationship when things progressed so rapidly.

Recalling how Miss Riki blushed and kept muttering "pervert" to herself while sitting sulking to the side, Kazami Naruto found it somewhat amusing.

The person who was so assertive and serious at the time, spouting words like 'responsibility' and 'obligation', was Shiina Tatsuki; but after agreeing, he blushed and silently let Kazami Mei hug him, and the person who would glare at him with those fierce eyes from time to time, was still Shiina Tatsuki.

Fortunately, he didn't completely go along with Miss Lixi, otherwise, who knows what the situation would be like now.

"Ming-kun, aren't you really going to stay for dinner or something?"

"You've come all this way to see Xiaolixi, why don't you chat a little longer before you leave?"

The woman in front of him, Shiina Maki, seemed overly curious about the relationship and progress between him and Riki. Her eyes seemed to be trying to judge something by Kazami Mei's expression. Unfortunately, he did a very good job of keeping his facial expressions, and even though he was very guilty, he did not show it at all.

"I'm so sorry, Maki-nee."

"I have some things to take care of back home today, so I really can't stay any longer."

Looking into Shiina Maki's burning gaze, Kazami Mei could only barely escape after making repeated promises.

It's precisely because his interactions with Miss Lixi today progressed a bit too quickly that they both need some time to cool off. Besides, if they continue to be alone together, the atmosphere will only get worse...

"Well then, I'll take my leave now."

He simply smiled politely at Shiina Maki again before stepping out of the Shiina family's entrance hall.

hum...

As soon as he stepped out the door, he received a Line message on his phone. Without hesitation, he opened it and immediately saw a panda avatar with a fierce expression.

[Shiina Tatsuki: Don't take what I just said too seriously... I was just saying it casually, I didn't really mean to call you a pervert]

Kazami Mei raised an eyebrow, and a slight smile crept onto her lips.

[Want to be fertilizer?: Oh, is that how it is? I thought you hated me by now, Lixi.]

[Shiina Tatsuki: That's not true at all! I really like you...]

[Shiina Tatsuki: Besides, we can't entirely blame Naruto this time... My mind was a bit muddled when I smelled your scent just now, but I don't find this kind of thing unpleasant, on the contrary...]

"..."

Upon seeing this message, Kazami Mei took a deep breath and subconsciously looked up at the second-floor window.

Although from the very beginning, Kazami Mei already believed that Shiina Tatsuki's heart was actually very cute.

But when she completely sheds the sharp edge of 'arrogance' and inadvertently reveals her 'delicate' heart, this combination of almost cheat-level cuteness and the allure of Liu Jiaohua creates a powerful effect, like the chocolate filling inside an iceberg of lava, melting in your mouth with sweet and silky smoothness.

The contrast was so striking that he almost couldn't resist going back to hug and kiss Lixi.

[Want to be fertilizer?: Lixi, let's get married?]

[Shiina Tatsuki: Huh? Are you an idiot?]

"...But now, it's me who's a little unsure what to do."

Even though Kazami Mei and Shiina Ritsuki each compromised and didn't actually go along with the insistent Ritsuki to complete the ensemble practice to the end, Kazami Mei still reluctantly complied with her and did a part of it.

If Lixi were to let this slip and accidentally expose it to Su Shi and the others...

Girlfriends are treated the same, so if Li Xi can do it, they naturally have the right to make demands.

"..."

Kazami Mei rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

At this point, we can only take one step at a time.

hum!

The sudden vibration of the phone startled Kazami Mei, who was standing still.

He picked up his phone, thinking that Miss Lixi, still unwilling to be lonely, wanted to say something more. But this time, the profile picture that caught his eye was completely different. At first glance, it was a small and exquisite cucumber flower with petals as thin as silkworm wings and a pale yellow center, simple and elegant.

Among Kazami Naruto's Line friends, there is only one person who uses this kind of profile picture.

"Mu?"

Without hesitation, Kazami Mei opened the other party's message.

[Little Cucumber: Sorry]

The moment Kazami Naruto opened Line, he immediately frowned.

Before this, he had never seen Wakaba Mutsu apologize to him right away. Even when Nagasaki Motoyo approached him through her, this straightforward but taciturn little blockhead would only apologize slowly after meeting him first.

In the end what happened?

Kazami Mei, whose expression instantly turned serious, took a deep breath, suppressed all extraneous thoughts, and focused intently on the screen.

[Want to be fertilizer?: Xiao Mu, what happened?]

[Little Cucumber: Sorry, I've been... discovered.]

[Little Cucumber: Mom, I want to see Ming...]

Kazami Naru: ?

"Did 'Mom' find out about it? Does that mean she meant my relationship with Xiao Mu?"

Kazami Mei exhaled a heavy breath, temporarily suppressing the turbulent emotions within her, and simply rested her chin on her index finger, lowering her head slightly in deep thought.

Xiao Mutou's mother is the highly renowned actress 'Nana Mi Mori'.

As someone with immense prestige and connections in the entertainment industry, she wields considerable influence within the sector. However, even the most outstanding actresses eventually fade from public view, so this mother naturally considered having her daughter take her place.

From a very young age, Wakaba Mutsu appeared in public with her mother, becoming a child star to build popularity. She used the name 'Mori Nanami' to attract attention, and later learned skills typical of a wealthy young lady, such as piano, ballet, and flower arranging.

The other party's purpose is obvious.

Minami Mori plans to train Mutsu Wakaba into a near-perfect beautiful girl. In the future, after she finishes her studies, she will let Mutsu Wakaba, who is proficient in all skills, enter the entertainment industry and replace Minami Mori with her absolute strength and advantages.

Even more surprisingly, Mutsumi Wakaba may become a world-class actress who surpasses Minami Mori.
