Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Be careful."

The sudden feeling of falling brought Xilin back to her senses. Hearing the somewhat reproachful voice in her ear, she nodded softly and shrank back shyly.

She suddenly understood why Kiana had screamed earlier; she herself wouldn't have performed as well as Kiana.

"You, are you really Eden?"

Kiana, standing to the side and staring intently at Eden, seemed somewhat disbelieving and asked in a hesitant voice.

Hearing this, Eden wasn't angry. She raised her head and reached out to lift her hair: "The real deal."

"Oh, no doubt about it, she really is Eden. Eden plans to expand in East Asia, so she came here to do some preliminary research."

Ellie hugged her best friend's arm, laughing happily.

You said you were going out to see a friend this morning, but I never expected to meet this person.

With a sigh, Nangong Yu walked up to them, extended her hand to Eden, and politely asked with a smile, "Should I say it's nice to meet you?"

"In real life, this would be considered our first meeting."

They were introduced to each other by Ellie, but their relationship was only maintained at sending holiday greetings; private chats were out of the question.

Maintaining his unchanging smile, Eden also extended his hand.

The two gently shook hands and then let go. Nangong Yu withdrew her hand and sat down on the sofa opposite her.

Seeing this, Seele, Kiana, Sirin... one by one they all crowded around Rain, looking at Eden across from them with curiosity as if they were looking at some rare animal, but every time they met Eden's gaze, they would shyly look away.

"Everyone doesn't need to be so reserved. I'm just here as a friend visiting."

Although Eden said that, it was clear that it was of no use.

This kind of person, who is almost a household name, is still too powerful for these young girls.

At this moment, Ellie realized that it was time for her to step in as the link between the two sides.

She first looked around, then coughed twice in a mock manner.

After attracting everyone's attention, she took out a document from beside her and pushed it onto the table opposite the group of people with a mysterious smile.

She didn't say a word, but her actions still piqued everyone's interest.

With several heads huddled together, Kiana simply read the text from the first page of the document.

"St. Freya Graduate School Admission Notice... Huh? Graduate school?"

Looking up in surprise, Seele asked, "Sister Alice, you've become a graduate student at St. Freya?"

"When did this happen? I've never heard you mention it before."

Seeing the shock in Ayu's eyes, Ellie nodded in satisfaction, put her hands on her hips, and smiled smugly: "It's today!"

"today?!!"

Faced with everyone's astonishment, Eden took a sip of hot tea and said softly, "I am actually an honorary professor of the music department at St. Freya."

Oh, so it turns out he's someone with connections.

Honorary professors are not required to teach classes and have the right to admit students. Although this is somewhat against the rules, it is Eden University that is in charge, so the person in charge turns a blind eye and lets it go.

"Everyone else is a student of St. Freya, and if I'm the only one who isn't, wouldn't I seem very out of place? I'd be so sad if I got ostracized by those cute girls!"

"Huh?! How could Seele possibly isolate Alice?!"

"Seele is so good. Come on, call her 'Senior Alice' and let me hear it~"

"Aili...senpai?"

That soft, sweet voice immediately excited Ellie. She turned to look at Nangong Yu, and the meaning in her eyes was obvious to everyone.

Following Ai Li, everyone's eyes turned to her. Nangong Yu felt her lips twitch slightly, and she forced a smile as she said, "Senior Ai Li."

He strongly suspected that Ellie obtained this graduate student status just so that they would call her "senior sister".

"How adorable, Junior Yu~ But I didn't just do this to hear you call me 'senior,' so please don't misunderstand, Junior Yu~"

Ai Li seemed to have read Nangong Yu's mind and responded with a smile.

“Isn’t that right?” Nangong Yu pondered seriously, then tentatively said, “Okay, if you can graduate successfully from Eden, then the music director of Gensokyo will be yours.”

"Really?! You can't back out now!"

"A word once spoken is a word once spoken."

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ellie hugged Eden's arm and said in a coquettish voice, "My dear Eden, you don't want your best friend to miss this great opportunity because she can't graduate, do you?"

"Yes, I will be strict with you."

Turning his head to the side, Eden's smile was still indulgent, but the words he spoke made Ellie's little face immediately turn bitter, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Alright, stop pretending, my dear Ellie."

Eden reached out and tapped Ellie's forehead with his finger, his voice tinged with helplessness.

It's just a position in the company, and given their relationship, they wouldn't seem to care that much. So, this exaggerated behavior is just an excuse from Ellie to get her to come more often.

"Pretend, pretend what? I, I wasn't pretending!"

Upon seeing her best friend, Eden instantly broke down in her guard, then looked at Nangong Yu, who was also somewhat embarrassed, with a half-smile.

"Ayu, is it okay if you call me that like Ai Li?"

"Well, it's up to you."

Just as Nangong Yu was feeling a little uneasy, she suddenly saw Eden across from her smile: "Then, before Airi graduates, I will serve as the music director of Gensokyo, is that alright?"

May I?

This is such a wonderful thing.

Bronya's heart started pounding, and she instantly looked nervously at Rain, who was sitting in the middle.

If he dared to utter a single word of dissent at this moment, Bronya would absolutely smash his head in, she swore!

"of course can!"

As Bronya expected, Nangong Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded excitedly.

Is there such a good thing?

"Are you satisfied now?"

With a hint of annoyance, he tapped Ellie's head again, and Ellie immediately gave him a silly look, as if Kiana had possessed her.

"I knew Eden was the best!"

Looking at the clingy pink fairy beside him, Eden sighed and smiled.

Looking at the overjoyed Ellie, Eden didn't say a word.

Actually, she had made this decision before she came.

Chapter 153 Eden's Joining and Gretchen's Arrival

"That should solve the problem, right?"

The moment Eden signed his name on the paper, joining Gensokyo Company became a done deal.

While Nangong Yu was still chatting and laughing after she said she wanted to be the music director, Bronya immediately had the relevant person in charge of the company draft an employment contract overnight.

The person in charge who was pulled out to work overtime initially had some complaints, but when he saw the contract, he shuddered instantly.

Wait, who's this?

I'm talking about Eden?

Is it true or not? Let me take another look.

Holy crap, this is Eden!

Immediately, he stopped complaining and saying he was tired. He was full of energy, and he completed a contract at the fastest speed he had ever done, and sent the electronic version over.

"Boss, is this really Eden?!"

As he was passing it on, he excitedly asked again.

"Don't make any noise."

These four simple words were more convincing than a direct confirmation, instantly putting the person in charge to a climax. He then shut his mouth and said nothing more.

This feeling of keeping an idol's secret is so exhilarating!

"Actually, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

His golden gaze was tinged with a hint of helplessness as he looked at the group of girls opposite him who seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh dear, my good Eden, don't say that. If we can't calm down the ducks today, they might not be able to sleep at all~"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ellie leaned against Eden and winked at Yu, who was directly opposite her, as if she wanted to claim credit.

Eden noticed this scene, but instead of being annoyed, she found the fairy lady's appearance quite amusing. A spark of inspiration popped into her mind, and her gaze softened as she looked at the two of them.

"That, Eden..."

"Just call me the same way you would Ellie."

Hearing this, Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Okay, Sister Eden, can we discuss the official announcement?"

Eden did not answer immediately; instead, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

She had just noticed that when Yu called out the name "Sister Eden," Ellie's expression changed rapidly.

Jealousy? Envy? Is it because her unique nickname has now been taken by someone else?

interesting.

Indeed, coming here was the right choice.

Her thoughts wandered for a few seconds before she turned her attention back to Yu, her face bearing the same smile: "As for me, the time is flexible, I just need to coordinate with my studio in advance."

"Can we postpone it a little longer?" Nangong Yu asked tentatively.

He did not intend to officially announce Eden's signing.
