People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

Himeko crossed her arms and said, burning with jealousy, "Qiaoqiao! No wonder you said you couldn't stay by my side all the time. It turns out you were hiding something from me and had another woman!"

"That's completely untrue."

Qiaoqiao had made a prior appointment with Mei, and she would never admit that she was going out on a date with Mei tonight.

Seeing Qiao Qiao so protective of the woman who gave him the doll, Ji Zi felt even more panicked.

"Tell me! Who is that woman?!"

"You reek of alcohol, I can't explain things to you clearly, you'd better go to bed!"

Instead of answering Himeko directly, Jojo interrupted the conversation and picked up the drunk Himeko as if she were a princess.

Himeko was completely drunk and had no strength to resist Qiaoqiao, so she could only obediently let Qiaoqiao hold her in her arms.

Although Princess Qiaoqiao made Himeko very happy, she stopped doubting Qiaoqiao and pounded Qiaoqiao's chest with her soft fists, struggling like a fish that had come ashore.

"I'm not drunk! Tell me! What woman were you with?!"

Qiao Qiao didn't answer Himeko's question. He knew the best way to handle it was to deny it to the death. He carried the drunk Himeko back to her room and gently placed her on the bed.

Back in her room, Himeko lay on the large bed. She was already completely drunk, and now she was even more intoxicated, muttering incoherently between sleep and wakefulness.

"Qiaoqiao! I'm not drunk! You can't leave me and be with other women!"

Qiaoqiao took off Himeko's high heels and listened to her talking to herself while lying alone on the boat. Qiaoqiao felt very heavy-hearted.

If Himeko finds out about Mei's current fiancé, she'll definitely lock me in the basement.

Qiaoqiao knew that Jizi had always relied on her, but she didn't expect that Jizi would be so unwilling to be separated from her.

If Qiao Qiao really gets a girlfriend in the future, Ji Zi will definitely cause a huge uproar.

As Qiao Qiao watched Himeko, who had been struggling, fall asleep under the influence of alcohol, she sighed softly: "Luckily, Himeko is a drunkard. When she wakes up tomorrow, she'll probably think what just happened was a dream. Even if she asks, I can just pretend it never happened."

After figuring out how to gloss over the Houmu doll incident, Qiaoqiao left Himeko's room satisfied, closing the door behind her.

Himeko lay alone on the bed, her clothes disheveled, her shirt buttons undone to reveal a patch of white skin, and she was talking in her sleep.

"Qiaoqiao...don't leave your sister..."

As she spoke, Himeko rolled over, seemingly mistaking the pillow for Jojo, and hugged it tightly to her chest.

After carrying Himeko back to her room to sleep, Qiao Qiao also returned to his own room. He glanced at the clock and stretched wearily.

Not only did I have a secret date with Mei today, but I also ran into Himeko, who was completely drunk. I'm exhausted.

Qiao Qiao thumped his shoulder, planning to take a hot shower and go to bed early to rest. He had a premonition that once he officially started playing Mei's fiancé, many things would follow.

You should know that being the fiancé of a high-society lady is no easy task.

Just as Qiaoqiao was taking a shower, there was a "knock knock" sound outside his room door.

Qiaoqiao frowned slightly when she heard the knocking: "Who would be knocking on my door so late?"

新年 快乐

Before I knew it, it had been almost half a year since I started writing this book, and it had been about 50 words.

I've been writing this since 2022, and I don't even know how many readers are still around since this book was first published...

Anyway, Orca is still writing.

Next... 2023, a new year, a new look.

I hope all my readers will have good luck in everything they do, find their other half soon, and make a fortune.

As for Orca, I will strive to update it in the new year and write out the complete story of "saving the broken girl with unorthodox means" that I had envisioned.

As I've previously teased, the next Sims game is about a maid and a ruthless bishop.

This time, I will learn from the lessons of the Durandal chapter and try to keep the story short while making it exciting.

Please also look forward to the upcoming stories of Herrscher of the Void, Fu Hua, Aponia, and Durandal in the real world.

I am confident that I can write a unique and extraordinary book, and I hope that all my readers will continue to support me in the new year.

Finally... Happy New Year to all my good brothers!!!

Chapter 172 The Little Secret Between Qiao Qiao and Kiana (3K)

Apart from JoJo, who is the only boy living in this house, the other residents—Himeko, Kiana, Mei, Bronya, and the newly arrived Fu Hua—are all famous beauties in the school.

Because they lived under the same roof and Qiaoqiao was always willing to help others, she often bumped into other girls by chance, ate together, and got along well with them. But after all, there was a difference between men and women.

When Kiana and her friends first moved in, JoJo was unaware of it. She returned to her dorm as usual, intending to clean her room, but happened to stumble upon Kiana and her friends' pajama party.

At that time, Qiaoqiao was hit with pillows by them, and Kiana mistook her for a pervert, wrapping her in a quilt and tying her up like a dumpling...

If it weren't for Himeko explaining the situation and clearing up the misunderstanding, Qiaoqiao would probably have been arrested by Kiana and the others.

From then on, aside from playing games with Bronya, Jojo rarely entered the female residents' rooms.

Kiana and the other girls developed a tacit understanding that they would never come to see Qiao Qiao alone unless it was something urgent.

Of course... Himeko is an exception. She saved Jojo's life from the Honkai and loves him like a younger brother. She often comes to Jojo drunk in the middle of the night.

However... Himeko is currently completely drunk and unconscious, while Bronya is playing games in her room.

Mei has never been inside Jojo's room.

Kiana is probably asleep by now; she's greedy and lazy, but she's also incredibly sleepy.

Fu Hua couldn't possibly be there either, since she had only recently arrived at St. Freya in this timeline and wasn't very familiar with Qiao Qiao. How could she possibly be in the boys' room so late?

Who on earth came to my room in the middle of the night?

Qiaoqiao, puzzled, slowly opened the door and saw a beautiful girl with long, silver-white hair and two braids standing outside. She stared in surprise.

"Kiana, why are you still awake so late?"

"Shh!"

Kiana stood at the doorway and made a shushing gesture. She glanced around nervously and whispered in JoJo's ear, "Watch your mouth. If Mei and Bronya find out I came to see you so late, it'll be so embarrassing."

Ashamed?

Qiao Qiao frowned slightly.

Mei asked him to pretend to be her fiancé, insisting that it be kept a secret from Kiana and Bronya. Now, Kiana comes to him in the middle of the night, also telling him not to let Mei and Bronya find out.

What's going on between these two girls?

They come to me on their own initiative, but they don't want anyone to know; they have to do it secretly.

Is it embarrassing for others to know that you're with me?

Am I really that lowly?

Jojo muttered to himself in dissatisfaction, but Kiana didn't notice his displeasure and pushed Jojo, who was standing at the door, inside.

Kiana stepped into the room and quickly closed the door behind her; she seemed genuinely afraid that Mei and Bronya would see her enter Jojo's room.

Seeing Kiana so nervous, Qiao Qiao was very puzzled. If Kiana was usually braver and a bit scatterbrained than many boys, why was she acting like a thief when she entered Qiao Qiao's room? This was not in line with her usual behavior.

"I have no problem with you coming to my room in the middle of the night, why are you so afraid that Mei and Bronya will find out?"

"Mei and Bronya are my best friends. If they see me come into your room, they'll definitely start thinking all sorts of things..." Kiana put her hands behind her back, looked down at the ground with a shy expression, and swayed slightly, looking very embarrassed.

"Anyway, for the sake of both you and me, you can't tell anyone that I went into your room."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao wondered why Kiana had sneaked into her room so secretly.

If others saw Kiana in his room, they would definitely think that JoJo and Kiana had a close personal relationship.

Even as a boy, Qiao Qiao doesn't want to have any rumors with Qiyana, and as a girl, Qiyana is definitely more concerned about her reputation and innocence.

"Okay, I'll keep tonight's events a secret..."

JoJo readily agreed to Kiana's request to keep it a secret, then looked at Kiana with a questioning gaze: "But... what are you doing here so late?"

"I'm here to thank you for helping me pass the exam." Kiana smiled brightly, touching her silver-white hair happily. "Without your help, I probably wouldn't have passed the battle test with the class monitor, let alone gotten the top score in the entire grade."

Hearing Kiana's earnest thanks, Qiao Qiao smiled a little embarrassedly. He hadn't expected that Kiana would contact him so late at night just to thank him.

"It's alright..." Qiao Qiao said with a smile, "As long as you pass the exam, that's all that matters. If you encounter any more trouble in the future, you can come to me anytime."

Actually, the reason why Qiao Qiao helped Kiana pass the exam was not out of kindness or a desire to help others, but purely to complete the task of the Good Deeds System and obtain crystal rewards.

How could Qiaoqiao possibly miss out on such a good opportunity, which allows her to both obtain crystal rewards and increase Kiana's favorability?

In fact... JoJo even hoped that Kiana would encounter more hardships and come to him for help, so he could earn more crystals.

Kiana was unaware that Jojo was only helping her to earn crystals.

In Kiana's eyes, Jojo not only helped her pass the exam, but also did not ask for anything in return. He was even kind enough to let her rely on him more, which greatly increased Kiana's affection for Jojo.

Kiana stepped forward and excitedly grasped JoJo's hands.

"Qiaoqiao, you've been so good to me, I want to repay you properly."

"Repay me?"

Qiaoqiao stood at the edge of the bed, glanced back at the soft, cozy bed, then looked at Kiana in front of her—a woman of foreign descent with silver hair, blue eyes, a high nose, and delicate features—and smiled as she said, "So... how do you want to repay me?"

Jojo didn't refuse; instead, he accepted Kiana's repayment directly. He had helped Kiana resolve countless issues to date, and in his view, it was only right that Kiana repay him.

Kiana also knew that Jojo had helped her a lot so far, and she kept these things in her heart.

"Qiaoqiao, this is a gift for you."

Kiana took out a gift box tied with a ribbon and gave it to JoJo.

"Gift?"

Qiaoqiao looked at the gift Kiana gave her, filled with curiosity, wondering what Kiana would give her in return.

Qiao Qiao didn't stand on ceremony with Kiana and tore open the gift wrapping right in front of her.

Inside... was a white smartphone with a chameleon pendant hanging from it.

JoJo picked up the white smartphone, looking completely bewildered, and asked Kiana, "Kiana, why did you give me a phone?"

This is too much of a coincidence.
