I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

Upon hearing this, Ms. PA's expression became somewhat subtle. "I can't say she hasn't arrived yet, she just had to leave early."

"Huh~?"

As the girls looked at her with a puzzled expression, Ms. PA thought to herself that her friend, who wasn't very frank, was trusted by these children.

Thinking about it, her eyes flickered slightly, and a wicked idea suddenly arose in her mind. She smiled mischievously and spoke mysteriously.

"You don't know this, but I'm telling you, and you mustn't tell anyone, I saw it today..."

The wicked sound engineer embellished her previous observations and told them to the girls, secretly betraying her friend behind her back.

After explaining the matter, he even solemnly instructed them, "Just keep this to yourselves, and don't ask her about it. You know Xingge is a very proud and arrogant person, and she definitely won't admit it. If you anger her, she might get angry and teach you a lesson."

Upon hearing this, Kita and Pochi nodded repeatedly, while Ryo was not particularly interested in this kind of information.

As for Hongxia... to be honest, she felt very complicated.

At first, I was surprised and disbelieving when I heard PA's words, but considering that PA is not the type to lie about such things, I had to accept the fact that my proud and arrogant older sister might really be in love.

Although she was very curious about who the man was, as his younger sister, Ijichi Nijika acknowledged his courage.

After all, dating a proud and arrogant person is not an easy thing.

As for her older sister, she could only offer her blessings.

She had seen all her sister's efforts over the years, and had worried that her proud and arrogant sister would be lonely for the rest of her life. She had even prepared herself to take care of her sister when she grew up.

Unexpectedly, my sister took this step ahead of time.

Hongxia's mother was very pleased, and even a little moved.

In high spirits, the girls performed a few more shows on stage. Before parting ways, they chatted privately about Xingge's love life.

After all, for teenage girls, the topic of love naturally has a unique appeal.

Of course, except for Liangsang.

In the evening, Ichiji Nijika returned home alone, cheerfully lit some incense for her mother, told her about what had happened, and then selected ingredients from the refrigerator to cook herself dinner.

Sitting at the dining table, the girl's movements gradually slowed down as she ate, and then she suddenly stopped.

Looking at the empty house, I suddenly sighed and lost my appetite for the food on my plate.

Dad isn't here, and neither is my sister.

I came back all by myself.

Busy, everyone's busy... It's good to be busy...

After quickly finishing dinner and clearing away the dishes, Ichiji Nijika nimbly packed her textbooks and schoolbag, clasped her hands together in front of her mother's photo, and said, "Mom, I'm going out."

I guess I'll just have to go back to the dorm!

Even though Pochi and the others have all gone home, Ryo might still be there?

Even though Liang has gone home, Xiangzi and the others are still there, along with their new friends Su Shi and the others.

When it comes to learning, discussing things together is always more enjoyable than racking your brains alone.

Meanwhile, Yunmeng Entertainment's artist dormitory is located in Tokyo.

Ijichi Hoshika sat on the sofa with a blush on her face, too embarrassed to look at Higashino Akira who was busy in the kitchen.

Even a proud, blonde older sister would feel ashamed if she, being a woman, wasn't very good at cooking and was defeated in the culinary field by a man, forced to wait for handouts.

P.S.: 4000+ words, combined into one.

Chapter 286 Hongxia is on her way on horseback

She was also embarrassed because she wasn't good at housework.

At dinner time, Ichiji Hoshika tactfully went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes and rice. She should at least do what she could to help, otherwise she would really be waiting to be served.

When I lived with my younger sister Hongxia, it wasn't a big deal; in fact, I got a little used to being taken care of.

But when she was with a man two years younger than herself, she acted so pathetic. To be honest, the blonde older sister looked down on herself a little; it was too embarrassing.

Of course, she felt that she couldn't be entirely blamed.

She was originally planning to order takeout.

As a result, that brat Higashino Akira insisted on saying he wanted to try her cooking, and that ordering takeout for a date at home was too unromantic.

This left her with no choice but to bite the bullet and try her best.

After all the final steps, the best-looking dish was the white rice cooked in a rice cooker.

Recalling the complicated expression on that guy's face, she felt a surge of resentment. Even though she hadn't been criticized or mocked, he had simply and quietly pushed her out of the kitchen and busied himself with his own tasks. But the feeling he gave her was worse than if he had said something to her.

"what about the taste?"

Akira Higashino doesn't really enjoy cooking often. Given the opportunity, he's reluctant to cook at home every day, as it's too boring.

However, if you only use your hands occasionally as a hobby, it can still be a pretty good experience.

Looking at the blonde woman across from him, who was silently fussing over her food, he smiled and asked her a question.

Upon hearing this, Ichiji Hoshika paused in her eating, remained silent for a moment, and then managed to say, "It's alright."

After listening, Higashino nodded knowingly.

"That feels pretty good."

Ichi Hoshika raised her head and gave him a long, brooding look. "What nonsense are you spouting all day long, you idiot?"

Seeing this, Higashino Akira teased with a smile, "After all, it's Sister Xingge. If someone as proud as Sister Xingge says it's bad, then it must be good. If even someone as proud as Sister Xingge says it's good, then it's super good."

"Hongxia taught me that when someone says something arrogant, you should take it the opposite way. She tells me to be more tolerant of you, and if you do something wrong, you should tell her, and she will teach you a lesson afterwards."

Upon hearing this, Ichiji Hoshika's eyes widened in astonishment.

They've turned the Heavenly Gang upside down!

Don't talk about my little sister to others in such a motherly tone!

He decided to give this little sister a good talking to when he got back. The blonde older sister glared fiercely at the mischievous boy who was always playing pranks.

"That's not true, don't believe it!"

"Really?" Higashino Akira smiled mischievously. "But it was Nijika who said it, so I think it's very believable."

Ijichi Hoshika puffed out her cheeks, "You believe her just because she says so?"

Akira Higashino shrugged. "I didn't want to either, but she insisted."

"You just listen to me because I tell you?"

"She begged me."

"What do you want from me?"

"Please take good care of Sister Xingge."

"Where do you find a younger sister asking someone to take care of her older sister?"

"Isn't Hongxia one?"

Don't listen to her!

"But I think what she said is very credible."

As soon as Higashino Akira finished speaking, the enraged blonde woman stuffed a piece of food into his mouth with her chopsticks, physically silencing him from saying anything more.

Seeing that the naughty boy had finally settled down to eat, the blonde older sister gave a soft hum.

He put his chopsticks back down, scooped two spoonfuls of soup onto his rice, and then picked up a piece of vegetables and put it in his mouth.

As she was chewing, she suddenly stopped, her gaze falling on her chopsticks. Recalling her subconscious action just now, she realized that she had also used these chopsticks. Ichiji Hoshika's pretty face flushed slightly.

"Sister Xingge is so cute."

Having watched the entire series and passively grasped the general inner thoughts of the blonde older sister, Akira Higashino made this remark.

Even though they've kissed and had more intimate contact more than once, they still feel shy because they used the same pair of chopsticks, which resulted in an indirect kiss.

"No way!"

Akira Higashino's praise was met with a shy rebuttal from the proud older sister.

Ichi Hoshika tried her best to appear calm and collected while eating, but her inner thoughts were clearly revealed by the blush on her face.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Ichiji Hoshika took the initiative to clear away the dishes and chopsticks, taking the empty utensils into the kitchen to take on the washing work.

After all, she's just not good at housework, but she can handle simple tasks like washing dishes.

Reality isn't a two-dimensional anime; there aren't that many incapacitated people who can't take care of themselves.

She's a grown woman, and has lived for so many years. Although she's not very good at many household chores that require a woman's strength, and unlike Hongxia, she doesn't know how to wash different fabrics and stains, she's not so bad at washing dishes.

Ijichi Hoshika was very unsure of her own thoughts and attitudes toward that bad boy, Higashino Akira.

Even though I felt something was off, I couldn't help but get absorbed in it.

Subjectively, reason tells her not to be foolish and to keep her distance, but every time he invites her, she can't help but agree, get close to him, and enjoy being praised and teased by him as if he were a girl.

She wasn't sure if her behavior was what people called love, or if she had fallen for Higashino Akira, this womanizing bad boy.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

It's more likely that it's not.

After all, she didn't act like the lovers in TV dramas, loving each other to the point of obsession, unable to live without each other, thinking about each other day and night, wishing to be together every day, with only each other.

It was also the first time Ichika had this experience. There were many things I couldn't understand or distinguish. I only knew that I didn't dislike being with him and I didn't care whose boyfriend he was.

Thinking about it carefully, she seems to have become one of those people I used to see all the time in the industry—people whose relationships are hard to judge and whom ordinary people keep their distance from.

Washing the dishes didn't take much time.

Back in the living room, Iji Tomoka was half-heartedly pulled to sit on the sofa by Higashino Akira, leaning against him as they watched a variety show on TV together.
