I became the emperor in the comic book series.

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

"Eh~?"

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

As she thought about it, her eyes flickered slightly, and a wicked idea suddenly came to her mind. She smiled mischievously and spoke mysteriously.

"You don't know this, but don't tell anyone, okay? I saw it today..."

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

After explaining the matter, he even gave them a rather serious instruction, "Just keep this to yourself, and don't ask her about it. You know Xingge is a very proud and arrogant person, so 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 very interested in this kind of information.

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

At first, I was surprised and disbelieving when I heard PA's words, but when I thought that PA was not the type to lie to people 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, Ichiji Nijika acknowledged his courage.

After all, falling in love with a proud and arrogant woman is no easy task.

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

She had seen all her sister's sacrifices over the years and had worried that her proud and spoiled 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 older 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 before parting ways, and privately chatted about Xingge's love life.

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

Of course, except for Liang Sang.

That evening, Ichika Nijika returned home alone, cheerfully lit a few sticks of 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 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 the 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 grabbed 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 go back to the dorm!

Although Pochi Sauce 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, it's always more enjoyable to discuss things together than to rack your brains alone.

Meanwhile, Yunmeng Entertainment is located in a collective dormitory for artists in Tokyo.

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

Even a proud, blonde woman would feel ashamed to be defeated by a man in the kitchen and forced to wait to be fed, despite being a woman who isn't very good at cooking.

.........

.........

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 had to 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; I even got 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 her a bit; it was too embarrassing.

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

She was originally planning to order takeout.

But that brat Akira Higashino insisted on wanting to try her cooking, saying 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 that, the best-looking dish was the white rice cooked in a rice cooker.

Recalling the complex expression on that guy's face, she felt a surge of resentment. Even though she wasn't being criticized or mocked, he simply and quietly pushed her out of the kitchen and busied himself with his work, but it felt less like he would have said something to her.

"How does it taste?"

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

However, if you only do it 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 aloud.

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

After listening, Higashino nodded knowingly.

"That feels really 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 to interpret her arrogant words in reverse. She told me to be more tolerant of you, and if you do something wrong, to tell her, and she will teach you a lesson afterwards.”

Upon hearing this, Ichiji Hoshika's eyes widened, her face filled with astonishment.

They've turned the Heavenly Gang upside down!

My little sister, don't talk about her to others in such a motherly tone!

He decided in his heart that he would have a good talk with this little sister when he got back. The blonde older sister glared fiercely at the naughty boy who always knew how to play 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?"

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

"You just listen to whatever I say?"

"She begged me."

"What do you want from me?"

"Please take good care of Sister Xingge."

"Where would a younger sister ask 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 angry 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 down his chopsticks, 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 paused, her gaze falling on her chopsticks. Recalling her subconscious action just now, she realized that she had been using these same chopsticks. Ichiji Hoshika's pretty face flushed slightly.

"Sister Xingge is so cute."

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

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

"No way!"

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

Ichi Hoshika tried her best to act calm and eat as if nothing was wrong, but her inner feelings were revealed by the blush on her face.

After finishing her meal, Ichiji Hoshika took the initiative to clear the dishes and took the empty utensils into the kitchen to take over the washing work.

After all, she's just not good at housework, but simple tasks like washing dishes are no problem for her.

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

She's an adult now, 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 any kind of fabric or stain, she's not so bad at washing dishes.

Iji Tomoka 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.

Her rational mind was telling her not to be foolish and to keep her distance, but every time he invited her, she couldn't help but agree, get close to him, and enjoy being praised and teased by him like a girl.

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

Maybe yes, maybe no.

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 death, unable to live without him, thinking about him day and night, wishing to be together every day, with only each other.

It was also her first time experiencing this. There were many things that Ichika couldn't understand or distinguish. She only knew that she didn't dislike being with him and didn't care whose boyfriend he was.

Thinking about it seriously, she seems to have become one of those people who were once common in the industry, difficult to judge in terms of relationships, and whom ordinary people kept their distance from.

Washing the dishes didn't take too long.

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

The content shows Hongxia and her friends playing some funny prank games together.

Ijichi Hoshika's gaze immediately fell on her younger sister, and then, slowly, inevitably, she followed the pink-haired girl who looked like a cute little animal as she moved, a faint feeling of guilt gradually spreading in her heart.

She's such a terrible adult.

I have betrayed their trust.

Overwhelmed by emotions, a subconscious sense of guilt made Ichiji Hoshika open her mouth, wanting to advise Higashino Akira not to waste his energy on women like her, and to spend more time with Pochi-chan or something.

But before she could say anything, she felt her hand, which had been held by the bad boy next to her, being gently squeezed.

Then the light dimmed slightly, and Higashino Akira's face got closer and closer to hers, until she felt a slightly warm and soft touch on her lips. In this way, he physically blocked all her words from her mouth.

A deep kiss.

They supported each other through thick and thin.

Ichika felt like a dough that had been soaked in water, unable to resist, her whole body limp, forced to accept all his actions, easily molded and flattened.

It should have generated resistance and opposition, but nothing happened.

On the contrary, because his movements became better and better, his condition was easily manipulated and unconsciously changed into the form he wanted.

The blonde woman's eyes were wet, her gaze gradually becoming hazy as she became absorbed in the scene.

At one point, she suddenly felt her body lighten, and with a slight feeling of weightlessness, he picked her up and carried her upstairs to her room.

In the bedroom, Ichiko Hoshika lay on the bed, her eyes instinctively darting away from the man's somewhat intense and burning gaze.

Feelings of shyness and confusion welled up inside me.

Every time they met before, this guy would bombard her with advances, so why did he suddenly cook for her and watch TV with her this time? He was just one step away from breaking in, but he hesitated at the door.

What kind of trick is this now?

Inexperienced blonde woman inevitably becomes Akira Higashino's plaything in an unrestricted free-fighting match.

In a passive way, I was taught a lot of strange knowledge, some of which I knew before, and some of which I didn't know at all.
