"(^-^)V"

The maid made a V-sign with an expressionless face. The contrast brought a cute feeling, which made Chaoyang hesitate to look at her directly for fear that he would have another whim. The maid would not refuse.

As they were talking, the car had already stopped in front of the hospital. Chaoyang and the maid got out of the car and went straight to Xiangzi's ward, one in front and one behind.

"Don't you want to buy some gifts?"

"Haa ...

The two of them pushed open the room while talking playfully.

"Hey Xiangzi, how are you?"

As soon as he came in, Xiangzi stared at Chaoyang with cold eyes.

"Miss Xiangzi, it's been a long time since we last met."

Xiangzi was quite surprised to see the maid who used to serve him coming out from behind Chaoyang.

"Miss Ayase..."

Subconsciously, he intended to call her using the tone of a superior, but he immediately realized that his status had changed and he was no longer her master, so he added a respectful title at the end.

"Miss Xiangzi, there's no need to change your words. You are the young master's fiancée now, and I will still serve you after we get married, so there's no need to add a honorific title."

I don’t know if it’s because she was facing her previous master, but Chaoyang’s maid put away the frivolous state she had when she was with Chaoyang and became very serious.

Xiangzi did not comment and asked back.

"...You didn't come here specially to see me, did you?"

"No, I haven't seen the young lady for a long time. When I heard about her hospitalization, I actually wanted to visit her. Of course, this time it's because I'm the young master's maid and secretary now. I have to help him handle his affairs personally, and by the way, I also need to report to the master if there is anything going on."

"Eh? With that last sentence, I realized what I was doing all this time. Were you spying on me?"

"Hey~~"

The maid immediately stuck out her tongue and tilted her head.

You're so cute...

"I will also write a report on the young master's performance in bed last night and submit it. It seems that he and Miss Xiangzi will have many babies..."

Chaoyang covered her mouth anxiously and growled softly.

"Idiot! Didn't I tell you to stop talking nonsense?!"

"Huh? I was just telling you about my job?"

Chaoyang suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

"That...that..."

Chaoyang turned around and wanted to say something to Xiangzi.

Xiangzi chuckled a few times and spoke.

"Haha, why are you so nervous... Who you sleep with and who you date is none of my business. Besides, I knew what kind of man you are from the beginning. Don't do such nonsense just to please me. Could you two please leave first? I need to change and get ready to go."

Chaoyang felt that something was wrong with Xiangzi, not because she heard what happened between him and the maid, but because of other reasons. He had told Xiangzi before that he had many girlfriends, and her attitude was not so bad at that time.

The reason he wanted to hide it was simply because he felt it was not something that should be said in public.

"Ok."

After saying that, Chaoyang walked out with Ayase.

……

"Master, you don't want to beat me, do you? If it's a work injury, it's not impossible."

"If you're interested in SM, I can satisfy that. As for beating you up, I'm not that interested. I'm not a domestic violence man."

Sitting on the bench outside the door, Ayase started to show her fun nature again and made some jokes.

"Young Master really has too good a temper. Aren't you even angry about this?"

"There's nothing to be angry about. What you said is indeed the truth. I didn't mean to hide it from Xiangzi, so it doesn't matter."

"Could it be that the young master has already converted to Buddhism and is so open-minded?"

"...Can you please stop talking nonsense? What was your purpose just now?"

Ayase sighed and replied.

"...I know Miss Xiangzi very well. When we met, I noticed that something was wrong with her expression. She looked as if she wanted to cut herself off from everything in the world. So I wanted to say these things deliberately to irritate her. I'm sorry, Master, I took the initiative."

Chaoyang just waved his hand and said something nonchalantly.

"It's okay, it's your freedom."

"Hehe~~"

Ayase sat down next to Chaoyang with a smile on her face. Only then did Chaoyang take a closer look at the maid with whom he had a physical relationship. She had regular features and long black hair.

She was undoubtedly one of the good-looking ones, and was wearing a formal women's suit that matched her position as a secretary.

"?"

As if noticing Chaoyang's gaze, he tilted his head slightly with a puzzled look.

"...It's just that I just realized you're quite cute. I never really looked at you closely before."

"Young Master, you really can say such outrageous things with such a serious face. ...Ah, it hurts."

Chaoyang, who was teased by his own maid, hit her on the head and made her burst.

"Could you please tell me that I don't like lying?"

Just then, the door of Xiangzi's ward was opened.

Xiangzi had already changed into his usual Western-style suit. As soon as he came out, he narrowed his eyes, sighed coldly, and then spoke in a voice like a stream.

"Don't be there, talk about love and go."

"Miss Xiangzi, are you jealous? Don't worry, I won't compete with you for the young master."

【Wow, what kind of look is that?】

Chaoyang saw that the look in Xiangzi's eyes when she looked at Ayase could kill her several times. It seems that Ayase, as Xiangzi's former maid, can make Xiangzi break down more easily.

It was obvious that Xiangzi was hostile to me.

Chaoyang quickly nudged Ayase with his elbow.

"Don't irritate her."

"...She used to be like that..."

"But Miss Xiangzi wasn't like this before. She used to be easily amused by me. She would even say 'Really, Ayase-san~~' in an incredibly cute voice. I liked Miss Xiangzi back then more."

"Ah so--"

Xiangzi didn't say much and walked straight past the two people sitting on the bench.

Chaoyang scratched his head. He had felt that Xiangzi was not so cold in the morning, but now he felt completely isolated from the world.

…………

Sitting in the Toyokawa family's car on the way to the Grand Theater, Xiangzi looked out the window in silence. Chaoyang, who was sitting next to Xiangzi, tried to talk to her several times but was ignored.

"Master, it's better to attack your chest at this time, and rub it suddenly from behind!"

"..."

After hearing Ayase's words, Xiangzi, who had originally planned to continue pretending to be an ice beauty, stopped looking out the window and instead became wary of the rising sun.

Just like the white snow buried deep in the ground, no one else can reach it.

Chaoyang looked at Xiangzi, who looked like a lady from a noble family. She finally couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere anymore and spoke when the three of them were in the car, acting as if she was the most distinguished person.

"What's wrong with you all of a sudden? I'm not saying you have to be nice to me, but you've suddenly become the same person you were when we first met."

Hearing this, Xiangzi frowned unhappily and looked back at Chaoyang.

"Any dissatisfaction?"

"...I'm very dissatisfied... To put it in an analogy, it's like when I get home and find my game save files have been deleted. I'm wondering why it turned out like this."

Xiangzi brushed his long hair off his shoulders and said coldly.

“I just don’t want to be too dependent on others.”

Xiangzi once again thought of the scene of Chaoyang and Aine standing together, and she had completely figured out that Chaoyang's kindness to her was never unique to her. What he could do for her, he could also do for Aine. Xiangzi even suspected that he could do the same thing to Ayase next to her.

But if you are numb to this love, you will be doomed when you lose it.

"...That's too unfair to me, isn't it? If it had been like this from the beginning, I would have absolutely nothing to say, but I can't stand it happening all of a sudden."

Chaoyang is not the kind of person who can hold back. When the situation became boring to a certain critical point, he got completely close to Xiangzi, firmly held her hand, and asked angrily.

"……you……"

Xiangzi was unable to adapt to Chaoyang's tough attitude and could only sigh helplessly.

At this time, the maid looked back and forth at Chaoyang and Xiangzi, smiling leisurely.

Xiangzi remained in the posture of being taken advantage of by Chaoyang and did not say a word until he got off the bus.

……

The staff entrance at the back of the theater is where Yutenji Wakamaki is leaving, recording a video with his phone while walking.

"Hello everyone~ Meow meow~ Today is AveMujica's first LIVE~~ Oh no, it's a masquerade ball... Oh, there's a limousine driving up here. I wonder who the big shot could be?"

As soon as the car door opened, Xiangzi's roar came out.

"...Ms. Yutenji, what are you doing? Internal live broadcast!?"

Xiangzi came over angrily and took the opportunity to vent his anger.

He snatched Yutenji Wakamaki's phone.

"No! Ruomai, I'm a video host! This is a video recording!"

372. I want to see Chu Hua and Xiao Xiang...

"...Oh~~Agent, long time no see~~Huh? And there's this girl I don't recognize...Wait, wait a minute! Don't delete the video I recorded!"

As Chaoyang and Ayase got off the bus, Yutenji Wakami also greeted them in a cute way. Turning around, he found Xiangzi already on his phone and immediately rushed forward to grab it.

Seeing the situation, Chaoyang stepped forward and snatched the phone from behind Xiangzi.

"!?"

Xiangzi immediately turned around and glared at Chaoyang.

"Calm down, just let her delete it herself. What if there are a lot of private messages in her phone? Wouldn't that cross the line?"

Chaoyang has returned to his daily life, and the moral standards have returned to normal. In his eyes, Xiangzi's behavior is a bit over the line.

"As expected of you~~Agent~~Would you like to have a few more drinks with me at the celebration party tonight?"

"...I'm just saying that Xiangzi shouldn't have been deleted. You should have deleted it. You signed a confidentiality agreement, right? If you don't want to be sued and have to pay compensation, just delete it honestly."

"Tsk...you really don't understand. This kind of video will only go viral after it's released and has a lot of traffic. There's also the real us on stage."

Xiangzi also calmed down at this time. After just glaring at Chaoyang, he returned to his calm appearance.

"Ms. Yutenji, your actions will destroy the AveMujica worldview. Without its mystery, this project will also perish. We can only show our true selves to the audience. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes... hooray, it's been deleted."

Yutenji Wakamugi quickly completed the operation with his nimble fingers and showed it to Xiangzi.

After confirming, Xiangzi nodded and walked towards the dressing room backstage.

"...I haven't seen her in ages, but I still wanted to say hello. And ask if she's okay down there.

Yutenji Wakamu complained.

"Huh? Didn't she tell you yesterday that she disappeared for so long?"
