Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

This cannot be called double standards; it can only be described as human nature.

After hesitating for a moment, Cecilia carefully chose her words: "So, your friend is feeling conflicted and upset right now, is that right?"

"I guess so?" Kiana said somewhat uncertainly.

What do you mean by should?

Cecilia glanced at Kiana suspiciously and then said in a deep voice, "This situation might be because your friend has become interested in romance during this time, and the only people around her are her friend and her partner."

"Something might have happened in between, or some unexpected reason, that made your friend think she had fallen for that person, but it's very likely just her delusion."

"illusion?"

Noticing Kiana's thoughtful expression, Cecilia continued, "So, in this situation, it's best to think things through yourself, or try to get closer to that person. Once you realize that you don't actually have many feelings for that person, your friend will probably calm down quickly."

"Does distance make the heart grow fonder?"

"You can say that."

Cecilia smiled and patted Kiana's head. She then fell silent, watching Kiana as she pondered something.

After a while, Kiana got off Cecilia, her spirits lifted again: "Thank you, Mom, I know what to do!"

"Well, it's good that you've thought it through, Kiana."

After saying that, Cecilia added, still a little uneasy, "I'm quite curious about your friend's situation. Could you come over and tell me about it when things have progressed a bit? Of course, just the two of us."

"no problem!"

Kiana patted her chest, made a promise, chatted with her mother for a while, and then turned and went back to her room.

As Kiana passed by the living room, the figure that suddenly appeared from the shadows startled her.

"Wow!!!!"

Kiana cried out in fear, but when she realized that the person in front of her was Sirin, she breathed a sigh of relief, clutching her pounding heart. Soon, she said angrily, "Sirin, why didn't you turn on the lights in the living room? You scared me to death by suddenly appearing!"

"Well, sorry."

The dim light from the nightlight made Kiana unaware of the complex expression on Sirin's face.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Why are you being so easy to talk to?"

Kiana asked in confusion. She was prepared to argue with Sirin, so why did Sirin apologize so readily?

"No, it's nothing."

Biting her lip, Sirin seemed to have made up her mind and slowly said, "That's right, let's ask that guy to go out with us tomorrow. Kiana, can you come along?"

"Hey?"

Kiana paused for a moment, then quickly burst into laughter.

Is this guy chickening out? But that's exactly what she wanted. Even if Xilin didn't bring it up, she would bring it up tomorrow. Of course, she can only feel at ease if she's watching from the sidelines!

"Okay, I'll stay by your side the whole time then~"

"No, there's no need for that..."

She muttered something under her breath, not caring whether Kiana heard her or not, and hurriedly said goodnight before running back to her room.

"What are you saying? It's so nonsensical."

Kiana scratched the back of her head in confusion, assuming that Sirin was just shy and didn't think too much about it. She went back to her room to get some rest, as she would be busy tomorrow.

......

Time goes back to just now.

Overjoyed, Celine couldn't sleep. Lying in bed, she soon felt thirsty, so she quickly got up and happily went to the living room to get some juice.

As soon as she entered the living room, she noticed a sliver of light coming from Cecilia's mother's room. The door was ajar, and Kiana's voice could be faintly heard coming from inside.

Is this kid unable to sleep in the middle of the night and going to his mom for comfort? Dad's not home today, so he wants to cuddle with his mom like he did when he was little?

Seriously, she's such a grown woman... Can't she take care of herself?

She suddenly realized that it had been a long time since her mother had held her while she slept, and she felt a sudden urge to do so.

Anyway, Kiana went there first, so she just tagged along and that's not shameful.

After finishing her juice, Sirin tiptoed carefully to her parents' room. As soon as she touched the doorknob, she heard Kiana's clear voice from inside.

"That's right, that's right, it wasn't me first, it was a friend of mine!"

"..."

puff~

Xilin covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing.

What do you mean by "having a friend"? It's obviously referring to herself!

Temporarily abandoning the idea of ​​going in directly, Xilin leaned against the door and began to eavesdrop with pleasure.

Since Kiana said that, there's bound to be some fun stuff coming up. As Kiana's best friend, how could she not listen carefully?

Soon, she heard Kiana say, "My friend has recently fallen for someone."

"!!!!!!"

With a thud, Xilin bumped the door because she was too excited.

In an instant, she darted to the wall and leaned against it, taking deep breaths to calm her racing heart!

When she noticed that the two people inside hadn't come over, Xilin breathed a sigh of relief. However, her thoughts were already in turmoil.

Kiana actually has someone she likes?!

She was constantly processing this sudden information, and she wanted to press her ears against the door so she wouldn't miss a single word.

Who is it? Who is it? Who could be the one this idiot has fallen for? Could it be Mei?

With her anticipation at its peak, Sirin was incredibly eager, urging Kiana in her mind to hurry up and say what she wanted to say.

When she heard that the person she liked was somewhat special, Xilin's eyes widened.

It's Mei, it's definitely Mei!!

Besides Mei, whose identity can be considered special?

However, her parents are very open-minded, so Kiana's worries are really unnecessary...

Before Sirin could finish her thought, Kiana's voice rang out again.

When Sirin heard Kiana say that the person actually had a lover, and that the lover was also their good friend, the smile on Sirin's lips froze, and she stood there stunned.

Chapter 125 Kiana: You idiot!

"Hey~ Is something wrong that you're calling so early, Kiana?"

As he ran his hand along Xi'er's thigh and touched her firm, soft flesh, Nangong Yu said leisurely.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you're free these next couple of days, so we can all hang out again!"

After much thought, Kiana realized that inviting Nangong Yu alone was somewhat unrealistic, so she could only try to find a way to get the others away and leave Sirin some alone time.

"These past two days?"

With the audio on speakerphone, Seele naturally heard Kiana's voice as well.

Nangong Yu lowered his head and immediately met Xi'er's pitiful gaze. He raised an eyebrow, gestured to Xi'er, and gave her a strange look.

Seele, you don't want your time together to be disturbed by others, do you?

Seeing this, Seele understood what her brother meant. She bit her lip and gave him a reproachful look. Her brother started bullying her as soon as her sister Bronya left. However, her little face was flushed and she did not refuse. She slowly slid down and bent over.

While raising her eyebrows to look into her brother's eyes, she gently pulled down the zipper, knowing exactly what would excite him.

Since Xier was so sensible, he naturally wouldn't let her down. He immediately said into the phone, "Sorry, we're not home these days and can't come out."

"Huh? They're not home, but didn't you just get back? You went back to work already?!"

Kiana asked in confusion, her eyes meeting Sirin's astonished gaze.

"Bronya and Kaguya did go to the company. They're preparing to develop a new game. As for me, I've been working so hard for so long, so I'm going to take Seele out for some fun. It might be a few days before I'm back."

Looking down at Seele's chubby little face, he reached out and gently tapped her head.

It's fun to go out and have fun, but don't bite him, it hurts!

"Oh, okay."

Kiana sounded somewhat frustrated, and after saying a few words, she hung up the phone.

"How to do?"

Looking at Sirin, Kiana asked.

"Then, let's wait a few days."

In the quiet bedroom, the two, each lost in their own thoughts, stood silently for a long time before suddenly saying in unison, "Sirin (Kiana), I have something I want to tell you."

"..."

"You go first!" *2

"Then I'll go first!" *2

"..."

Then, Kiana reached out and covered Sirin's mouth, saying somewhat speechlessly, "Alright, you go first."

These sisters' unspoken understanding shouldn't be shown in inappropriate places!

Sirin nodded, looked at Kiana, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly asked, "Kiana, what do you think of Yu?"

Oh ho, that's the question right there?

Kiana's eyes narrowed immediately.

Is this the start of him seeking her advice?

Seeing the somewhat complicated look in Sirin's eyes, Kiana paused and replied in a deep voice, "I feel that Ayu is a very good person. She has a good temper, a gentle personality, and is also very capable. She cares a lot about the people around her. Her only flaw is that she is a bit of a flirt and has a lot of crushes."

After saying that, she added, "However, Ah Yu's identity is what it is. Just like the uncles in our parents' family, many of them have many aunts and uncles around them. This kind of thing is actually very common. Xilin, you can't be prejudiced because of what I said!"
