Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Well, it seems he just has poor flexibility.

"Smile more naturally, that's it."

"Just hug me like this, why are you being so reserved?"

"Yes, heads touching, oh dear, don't actually kiss~"

"But a kiss seems pretty good too, let's take another one~"

Amidst the envious gazes of the tourists, Kaguya took a series of photos in different poses.

After a while, seeing that Kaguya finally gave an OK sign, Nangong Yu, whose body was a little stiff, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he could say anything, Ellie suddenly stood on tiptoe, placed her hands on his shoulders, and exhaled a sweet breath from her soft lips.

A soft, longing whisper sounded in his ear: "Ayu, next time it's like this, can you put on a wedding dress for me?"

"!!!"

Nangong Yu's heart skipped a beat, and it took her several seconds to come back to her senses.

Meanwhile, Ellie, her face slightly flushed, had already run off to switch places with Kaguya.

He looked up and met Ellie's gaze, then gave her a cute wink.

You flirted and then ran away, huh? He'll remember that.

Compared to Airi, Kaguya was much more reserved. At most, they would hold hands and lean against each other; she would never do anything more intimate in public.

Hearing the commotion, Kiana and her group, who were in the square, also curiously came over.

After Kaguya-sama: Love Is War ended, since they were already there, they took turns going up to take photos. Nangong Yu also became a shared photo prop, used casually by a group of girls.

Later on, even Mei joined in the fun and took a few group photos.

Finally, after everyone took turns taking group photos, Ellie started taking pictures with the girls, and Nangong Yu could finally take a break.

He slumped onto an empty bench by the roadside and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Brother, you've worked hard~"

Seele and Kiana walked over together, and Seele spoke with a smile.

Behind them, Sirin was taking photos, while Airi was hugging a somewhat embarrassed Mei, nuzzling her face. On her other side was Kaguya, whom she was holding in her other arm. With two beautiful Eastern girls on her left and right, she looked quite happy.

"Hey, shouldn't you feel happy taking pictures with so many beautiful girls? Why can't you?"

Kiana walked over and kicked his shoe.

Rolling her eyes at Kiana, Nangong Yu retorted, "Shouldn't you be the one to blame for my tiredness?!"

"Who sits on someone's neck and lets them run? I'm a person, not a horse, okay? I'm so heavy!"

"Nonsense, I'm not fat! I, I was just curious, and besides, I let you touch my thigh, so what's wrong with giving you so many perks and letting you put in a little effort!"

Upon hearing that she had gained weight, Kiana immediately panicked. As soon as she finished speaking, she pinched her slender and firm waist and asked worriedly, "Have I really gained weight?"

"Heh~" Nangong Yu chuckled dismissively.

"Hey, you, get your facts straight!!!"

Seeing Kiana about to rush forward, Seele quickly pulled her back.

Kiana, who had been pulled back, felt a pang of regret, but then retorted stubbornly, "Fine, I'll let you off this time for Seele's sake. The beautiful girl won't hold it against you."

"Brother, please stop bullying Kiana."

Xi'er's sweet complaint made Nangong Yu shrug helplessly: "Okay, okay, actually you're not heavy, I was just pretending."

"Pretending? What, you're not happy about taking photos with so many beautiful girls?"

"I'm not dissatisfied, but don't you feel that more and more people are gathering? I'm still considered a well-known figure now, right? If this continues, I reckon rumors will start flying everywhere."

Resting his chin on his hand, he continued lazily, "Seele, it doesn't matter about Ellie and the others, but what about you and Mei?"

I don't care.

Thinking this to herself, Kiana replied, "At least you have some conscience."

"A little, but not much."

Just as Nangong Yu was making a self-deprecating remark, her phone suddenly rang.

He raised an eyebrow when he opened his phone and saw the email from Tianming Group.

"The application was approved?"

Seeing this, Seele asked curiously.

"Yes, it's approved. I'll go there this afternoon."

"Application? What application?"

Kiana was completely confused by their conversation and hurriedly asked a question.

"I've requested a visit to the headquarters of Destiny. I have a friend there who is receiving treatment, and I thought I'd take this opportunity to visit her."

"Oh~ That's it."

Kiana nodded, and having received her answer, she didn't ask any more questions.

The girls had planned to go shopping together in the afternoon, and it didn't matter whether Nangong Yu went or not.

The exhibition was held in Milan, the fashion capital, which naturally attracted great interest from the young women. Under the leadership of Alicia, who had been here several times before, they quickly finalized their shopping plans for the afternoon.

The only slight pity is that Gretchen was taken home by her parents as soon as she arrived in Italy, and she couldn't stay with them.

"It's almost time, Seele. Go tell Ellie and the others right away that the Destiny headquarters isn't close to here, so I'll head over first."

"Okay, brother, hurry up and go. Remember to come back early tonight, and be careful!"

"Hmm~"

Standing up from the bench, Nangong Yu gently patted Xi'er's head amidst her contented expression. Before leaving, he also casually touched Kiana's white hair, which angered Xi'er so much that she chased after him and punched him twice.

As Kiana tidied her slightly messy braids, she watched Nangong Yu get into a taxi, her face flushed as she muttered to herself, "Honestly, couldn't he be a little gentler with me than he is with Seele..."

Kiana, did you say something?

Seeing Seele looking over curiously, Kiana smiled foolishly and waved her hands repeatedly: "It's nothing, it's nothing. That annoying guy is finally gone, so we won't have to delay our afternoon shopping!"

"Your brother is actually a very good person, Kiana, please don't say that in front of him~"

"Okay, okay, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I get it!"

Feeling a little embarrassed by Kiana's words, Seele quickly ran over to find Bronya. Before Kiana could even feel smug, a delicate white hand tapped her on the head.

"It's Xi Shi, you idiot. There's no such thing as Shi Xi."

Xilin, who happened to be walking by, was complaining about her sisters.

Then, she looked around and asked curiously, "Where's Yu? Where did he go?"

Kiana was naturally annoyed by the tap from Sirin and immediately replied, "Who knows, maybe she's gone to find a new love."

"what?"

......

As the most famous place in the entire region, Nangong Yu only gave a name when she got into the taxi, and the driver started the engine without asking any questions.

He chatted with Nangong Yu on and off the way, and when they talked about Tianming Company, he seemed proud of it.

As one of the world's three largest technology companies, it certainly has something to be proud of.

Because the distance was quite far, he asked the driver to stop for a while on the way. They bought a pizza from a roadside vendor and shared it. The driver became even more talkative, chattering away as he took him to his destination.

When he got out of the car, she refused to take his money. Helpless, Nangong Yu could only leave a banknote on the passenger seat, hoping that he would notice it.

Tianming Group Headquarters

The headquarters couldn't possibly be just one building; it's similar to the Anti-Entropy site, a huge industrial park.

A tall wall encloses a large area, and behind the imposing gate, various office buildings and laboratories stand one after another in this park, stretching as far as the eye can see.

This is a gate specifically for receiving guests. There aren't many people, but the decoration is quite exquisite. He knows how to maintain appearances.

Nangong Yu walked over and found that someone was already waiting for her at the door. She smiled and waved to him.

"Hello, are you Mr. Nangong?"

The young woman who greeted him had the same dazzling white hair and blue eyes as Kiana, and she also wore a large braid that hung down her back.

However, compared to Kiana, who seemed rather simple-minded, this lady appeared gentle and mature.

"Yes, it's me. May I ask who you are?"

He extended his hand and shook hers, and at that moment she introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Karen, Karen Kaslana."

"!!!!!!"

Upon hearing the introduction, Nangong Yu froze, nearly pulling her hand away in fright.

Is Karen the Karen he's thinking of?

Noticing Nangong Yu's shocked expression, Karen smiled sheepishly, scratching her cheek. Despite not knowing her actual age, she still acted like a shy girl: "Sorry, did I scare you?"

"No, no, no."

Nangong Yu chuckled dryly; even if he was genuinely frightened, he wouldn't dare say anything.

Just then, a rapid tapping sound suddenly came from behind Karen.

Soon, a short, white-haired girl dressed in a nun's habit came running over in a hurry.

When she noticed Nangong Yu and Karen in front of him, she immediately put her hands on her hips and said with dissatisfaction, "Grandma Karen, didn't you say I was the one to greet you?!"

Speaking of which, he had told Theresa before he planned to visit the headquarters of Destiny. It just so happened that Theresa had come to ask her grandfather for funds from St. Freya these past few days, so she simply came by herself.

“Theresa, I’m also very curious about Little Moon’s friends~” Karen said to her granddaughter in a weak and coquettish tone.

"Well, we've finished watching now. Grandma Karen, you can go back now. I'll take him there soon. You should go see Grandpa first!"

There's nothing we can do about a grandma like that; in fact, no one in this family can resist her when she's like this.

"Otto? What happened to him this time?"

Theresa glanced at Nangong Yu and sneered, "Because a strange man came looking for his most beloved granddaughter, and now he's planning to play with the Heavenly Fire Judgment."
