Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Stealing a glance to the side, the setting sun shone on that long face, casting a pale orange glow that made Kiana's heart race. She quietly hugged her arms tighter and moved closer to Nangong Yu.

"That, that..."

"what happened?"

Turning his head in confusion, Nangong Yu was also stunned when he saw Kiana clinging to his arm.

I'm used to being held, so I didn't notice anything wrong at first.

But now it seems that my arm is completely embedded in Kiana's soft chest. Is this really okay?

"I...no, it's nothing."

Kiana instinctively lowered her head, feeling a pang of self-reproach for her awkwardness with words, unable to utter a single flirtatious remark.

What a great opportunity this is! A chance to make Ah Yu stop treating her like a brother, and yet I'm so pathetic!

"Uh......"

This back-and-forth made Nangong Yu a little embarrassed. He looked at Kiana, whose playful and cute figure was illuminated by the warm orange light.

The loose sweatshirt bulged high at her chest, and below that, a dark blue denim mini skirt accentuated her most alluring slender waist. Her fair legs extended from the hem of the skirt, touching the ground with a soft and supple feel. Her braids had long since come undone, and her smooth, long hair cascaded down her back.

Coupled with that appropriate hint of shyness when she lowered her head, I wondered if my own brother had become so alluring without me even realizing it.

"Um, is there anything different about me today?"

Kiana took a deep breath and, after a long pause, finally managed to utter those words, but she regretted it as soon as she said them.

How could I say such a thing? What's the difference? How embarrassing! I hope Yu won't laugh at me. Ugh!

The fear of loss is an inevitable part of a young girl's love life, and Kiana is experiencing it firsthand.

"that."

Feeling a little embarrassed by Kiana's antics, Nangong Yu scratched his cheek and said with a smile, "You look beautiful with your hair down."

thump.

Her heart skipped a beat, and a visible joy appeared on her face.

"What else?

"Also, you seem more..."

"Even?"

Kiana clenched her fists nervously, her expectant gaze fixed on Nangong Yu.

"Even more women..."

"Ayu!!!"

Just then, joyful cheers rang out, accompanied by hurried footsteps. A pink-haired fairy quickly pounced on Nangong Yu, knocking him off balance and causing him to stumble and break free from Kiana's arm.

Looking at the empty space around her, and Ayu being affectionately nuzzled against her by Airi, Kiana's smile froze on her face.

Chapter 195 Kiana: We will win!

"Ah Yu, Ah Yu~"

Feeling Ai Li snuggling in his arms, Nangong Yu looked somewhat helpless and said softly, "Ai Li, it's only been one day since we last met."

"Ah Yu knows we haven't seen each other all day, do you know how lonely I am all alone at home?" 9.

He reached out and touched Ellie's head. She immediately squinted her eyes happily. For some reason, he felt that Ellie now resembled a small animal, the kind that wags its tail.

"Why does it look like a little puppy whose owner isn't home?"

He said what he thought of directly, and Ellie wasn't angry. Instead, she chuckled and gently scratched at him with her two little hands, mimicking claws.

"Woof~"

With her head tilted adorably, her soft, baby voice practically pierced Nangong Yu's heart, making him feel a ticklish sensation.

No, that's way too unfair. (9)

Seeing Nangong Yu turn his gaze away shyly, Ai Li happily jumped into his arms again. Lin

Lacking Ah Yu's charm for a day, it would take at least half an hour for Miss Fairy to revert to her usual caring older sister persona.

Just then, Airi suddenly noticed Kiana behind Nangong Yu and immediately waved to her: "Kiana, good afternoon~"

This greeting instantly brought Nangong Yu back to her senses. Her heart sank for a moment, and she quickly turned her gaze behind her.

Kiana's expression just now... could it be that she's thinking...?

"Hmm...hehe, good afternoon."

Kiana chuckled dryly, a hint of envy in her eyes as she looked at Airi.

It's so nice to be able to interact with Ayu so naturally, and no matter how much she acts cute, it's impossible to dislike her.

"ah!"

Realizing something belatedly, Airi suddenly noticed that only Nangong Yu and Kiana had been there. Her smile instantly turned mischievous as she looked at Kiana with a grin: "Did I disturb you just now?"

After saying that, Ai Li turned her gaze to Nangong Yu: "Ah Yu, Ah Yu, what were you and Kiana talking about just now? Can I listen?"

"this......"

With a hesitant tone, just as Nangong Yu was pondering how to begin, Kiana suddenly seemed like a different person. With her hands behind her back, she sighed and said with a smile, "Today, I finally dressed up properly, wanting to show this guy what he thought, but he couldn't come up with anything for ages! It's so infuriating!"

"Yes, is that so?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu was immediately confused. You weren't like this just now.

No one saw that Kiana's hands were clenched tightly behind her back. She let out a long sigh before releasing them, walked up to him, and slapped his arm hard as usual. Seeing his pained expression, she said disdainfully, "I hugged you because I was afraid you would run away. And asking a boy's opinion? Even I would be shy. You didn't misunderstand something, did you?"

"Is that right?"

Was it just his own imagination just now?

"Otherwise what? You don't actually think I'd be interested in you, do you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kiana wanted to slap herself.

Pretending to be a bull demon? Is it so hard to express your feelings?!

Unfortunately, words spoken cannot be taken back. The malicious tone made Nangong Yu's teeth ache, and he glared at Kiana.

At this moment, Alice, who had been silent for a while, seemed to understand something. She smiled, let go of Ayu, and then hugged Kiana.

"Exactly, Ah Yu, you need to be more understanding of a beautiful girl's feelings, and try to truly understand them~"

Their expressions of shared hatred and indignation made it seem as if Nangong Yu had committed some grave error.

"How could I not be understanding? I even praised Kiana when she asked me about it!"

So, you see~

Kiana stiffened a little after being hugged, wondering if she had been found out.

She quietly raised her head to look at Ellie, and immediately met a pair of smiling pink eyes. When their eyes met, Ellie even winked at her.

Wow!!! They definitely saw through me!!

Kiana thought she would be so ashamed that she would want to dig a hole and bury herself when her hidden feelings were exposed. But after a while, she realized that she not only did not feel ashamed, but she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Her own emotions made her feel a little confused. In a daze, she heard Ai Li telling A Yu to go home. Then, Ai Li pulled her to a bench by the roadside.

"Kiana?"

The call seemed to have a magical power that awakened her. She had barely looked up when she heard Alice continue, "Kiana, you like Ayu, right~"

"..."

He opened his mouth but quickly closed it again, swallowing his denial.

Looking into Ellie's eyes, which seemed to see right through her, Kiana nodded slightly for the first time in response to the question.

"Ah."

......

What were you two talking about just now?

Sitting in the living room, Nangong Yu looked curiously at the two girls holding hands, like best friends.

"What I say to Ellie is none of your business!"

Kiana glared at Nangong Yu, her face flushing slightly. After speaking, she ran upstairs, leaving Nangong Yu completely bewildered.

And, Sister Ellie?

When did these two become so close?

What did you say to Kiana?

Looking at Aili, who quickly became attached to him, Nangong Yu asked blankly.

"Don't pry into a cute girl's secrets!"

Ellie blinked, then leaned forward and lightly tapped his cheek: "This means you're not allowed to ask about the hush money anymore, okay?"

Turning around and hugging Ellie, Nangong Yu pointed to her lips and said with a smile, "Not enough."

"There's really nothing I can do about you~"

His cheeks were covered by warm palms, and he soon got to taste the sweetness of those lips.

Upstairs, Kiana knocked on Sirin's door.

"What's up?"

Having just finished her live stream, Sirin scratched her belly wearily and looked lazily at Kiana.

He must have just gotten off work, and he came to find her right away. That's really strange.

"Ah."

Nodding, Kiana pulled Sirin into the room and then closed the door behind her.

"What's wrong? Why are you making such a serious face?"

Kiana's serious expression made Sirin perk up a bit, and she frowned as she asked.

"I want to talk to you about that favor."
