She sensed something was off from her mother's attitude just now; it seemed like something was about to happen.
This made her a little nervous.
There was still a hint of anticipation.
After seeing the current situation of Ai's family, she also wondered what it would be like if her relationship with her mother changed.
Will they become closer?
Is it still a little awkward?
Xiaolan suddenly felt a little panicked.
"It's getting late indeed."
Xia Ye received a slightly embarrassed look from Fei Yingli, and quickly echoed her with a serious expression:
"Ran and Ai, you two go take a shower first~"
"Good~"
Ran and Ai exchanged a glance.
Xiao Lan gave her a wink.
Ai understood the meaning in her best friend's eyes, rolled her eyes at her, and turned to walk towards the bathroom.
"Let's go, let's shower together!"
"it is good!"
Xiao Lan got up and followed.
There are three bathrooms in the villa.
A small bathroom with two separate bathtubs and showers.
There is also a large bathroom with a jacuzzi.
Ran and Ai went to the large bathroom.
It seems the two friends are ready to be honest with each other and talk about some private topics that best friends should discuss.
in the living room.
Xiao Lan and Xiao Ai left.
Natsume, Akemi, and Elena all focused their attention on Eri Kisaki.
Eri Kisaki, feigning composure, said speechlessly:
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Yingli——"
A hint of gossip played on Elena's pretty face:
Are you planning to confront Xiaolan about it?
"Cough cough!"
Eri Kisaki hadn't expected Elena to be so direct, and felt a little embarrassed. However, considering that these people in front of her were all her own people who already knew, she couldn't be bothered to pretend anymore, so she sighed helplessly and said:
"Yes, I'm going to tell Xiaolan—"
"Sigh, I wonder what Xiaolan will think of me?"
"that--"
Akemi chimed in from the side:
"I think you don't need to worry. Xiaolan is so sensible and understanding, she will definitely understand you."
"That's right!"
The aftereffects were too strong, so Xia Ye had to keep hugging the pillow. After Mingmei, he also said with a smile:
"Xiao Lan will definitely be fine!"
"Look at how well Ai and Elena get along! You and Ran can do the same!"
"Pooh!"
Eri Kisaki lightly spat and said in annoyance:
"How dare you say that?!"
"Isn't this all the trouble you caused?"
"Look what you've done! Not only does it violate ethics and morality, but it also breaks the law, do you know that?"
"Let me tell you, if I were the plaintiff, I could at least put you in jail for over ten years! That would be doing a service to the people! If it weren't for you, how many women in Dongdu would be spared from this scourge!"
"There's nothing we can do about it..."
Xia Ye shrugged, his expression roguish, and said:
"I can't control myself!"
"Besides, if you send me in for more than ten years, are you willing to do that? You'll all be living like widows by then!"
"Pooh!"
"I'm too lazy to care about you!"
Seeing that Xia Ye was as stubborn as a mule, Eri Kisaki was completely helpless against him. She could only glare at him fiercely before standing up and heading upstairs.
"I'm going to take a shower too! Don't prepare a room for me, I'll stay in Yukiko's room~"
"Good~"
Xia Ye could sense the change in Eri's attitude, which was a good thing; perhaps it would happen soon.
Ahem, let's not think about such wonderful things for now!
If you tell Xiaolan now, she'll scratch you to death!
"Eri, I'll take you to the bathroom in a bit~"
Elena glanced at Xia Ye with her emerald green eyes, a knowing smile playing on her pretty face, and floated lightly after Eri towards Yukiko's room on the second floor.
...
After everyone left.
Akemi sat down next to Natsume, casually resting her head on his shoulder, and said with a light laugh:
"Are you smug now?"
"You rascal, how could you have such a strange hobby? Shiho and Ran have spoiled you too much. If they indulge you like this, who knows how outrageous you'll become in the future!"
"Mingmei, you've wronged me so much!"
Xia Ye reached out and hugged her, then began to argue:
"I don't have any strange fetishes, it's just that the person I like happens to have that kind of relationship!"
"Oh?"
Akemi drawled out her words, a half-smile playing on her lips:
"Are you sure?"
"Is it really not because of forbidden stimulation?"
"You can fool me if you want—"
"Don't fool yourself too!"
"All right......"
Xia Ye tightened her grip on her waist, gave an awkward smile, and realized that she could talk about anything with Akemi, just like she could with Yukiko. It was just that her feelings for Eri and Ran were a bit shameless, which was why she was being a little more discreet...
"Ahem, I really do like it~"
"That's right!"
Akemi rolled her eyes at him and said softly:
"Why are you giving me all this nonsense? I don't care about Ai and Ran as much. Besides, I knew this day would come when you saved Mom."
No wonder you were so calm the other day—
Xia Ye looked down into her eyes and asked curiously:
"By the way, why don't you care?"
"Ai-chan struggled with this decision for a long time~"
"I?"
Akemi's lips curled slightly.
A faint smile appeared in her light blue eyes:
"When I was in the organization, I had thought of everything. I was willing to pay any price to escape with Shiho. Now that I'm living such a happy life, what more could I ask for?"
"Mingmei~"
Xia Ye exerted force with both arms.
He picked her up and placed her on his lap.
Mingmei was indeed indifferent to worldly affairs.
Besides taking care of her family's daily life, her favorite thing to do is to sit quietly to the side and watch Natsume bicker with Yukiko and Ai. Sometimes she will casually chime in with a few words, showing a calm and collected demeanor.
Xia Ye really likes this kind of personality.
However, this sometimes makes her seem a bit neglected. After all, compared to a boisterous person like Yukiko, she is truly gentle and calm.
"correct--"
"You haven't used this week's Time Capsule yet, have you?"
"What do you want to do?"
Mingmei's pretty face flushed slightly.
Using such a technologically advanced product as a tool for temporarily restoring my sister's body is actually a bit of a waste, but—
Since this belongs to Xia Ye, for him, this kind of improper use is actually the most proper thing to do!
"Cough cough~"
Xia Ye coughed lightly and said seriously:
"Akami, Ai has already grown up and... you know, aren't you worried as her older sister?"
Why should I be in such a hurry?
Mingmei's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she softly scolded:
"You have so many sisters and cousins you care about, even if I were to wait in line, it would take me a long time. I'm not in a hurry!"
"Haha~"
Xia Ye teased with her eyes:
"I thought you wouldn't be jealous, Akemi!"
"I never thought I'd complain about these things..."
"I didn't complain!"
Mingmei reached out and pinched Xia Ye's handsome face, giggling sweetly:
"You should hurry up and deal with Xiaolan's family's affairs first. I'm already in a situation where I can't escape it anyway, so waiting a while won't hurt."
Is there really no way to escape?
Xia Ye took her small hand down, looked directly into her eyes, and gazed at her tenderly.
"Yeah, there's no escaping it now~"
Mingmei bit her lip lightly, her beautiful eyes watery, and responded to Xia Ye in a soft voice.
"Angmei——!"
