My older sister is a villainous rich girl.

Wayne is catching crabs in the water.

The afternoon sun scorched the earth, and the heat waves rolled in the air, with even the lush trees only providing a small patch of shade.

It should have been a drowsy afternoon, but Chris woke me up to persecute an innocent little life.

Yes, I must eat a lot when it's served at the table.

"Over here, over here!"

Chris exclaimed with delight, pointing to a patch of mud by the stream where tiny bubbles were rising from time to time.

"Got you!"

Seizing the opportunity, Wayne acted decisively, and pulled out a large crab that was weakly waving its pincers.

"Wow--"

Chris was excited and wanted to extend a small wooden bucket so Wayne could put the crabs in.

But then I slipped and fell.

"Hey, be careful."

Wayne grabbed her arm just in time.

It feels soft and smooth to the touch.

A strand of blonde hair playfully fell down beside Chris's ear, but she paid no attention to these details.

"Let it in! Let it in!"

She shoved the barrel in front of Wayne.

The bottom of the wooden barrel was lined with a layer of soft sand, and it was also filled with some clear stream water.

Seeing that Chris had regained her footing, Wayne reluctantly let go of her.

With his other hand, he casually tossed the crab into the bucket with a dull thud.

"Be gentle!" Chris said gently.

...There are so many rules, it's like it won't be cooked later.

Chris wasn't wearing boots; her fair little feet were on the stones by the stream, and her light skirt was rolled up and tied in a hasty knot next to her thigh.

Water splashes up from time to time as it hits the rocks of various sizes, and the light mist that hits you brings an indescribable feeling of coolness.

what--

Summer is wonderful.

"Hurry, there's more here!"

Chris was overjoyed. Although they were just a few ordinary crabs, they seemed more precious to her than gold and silver jewelry.

Wien roused himself, bent down, and scooped out a line of crabs one after another.

"Young Miss, Young Master Wayne..."

A short while later, Karen emerged from the woods carrying a basket filled with mushrooms. "It's about time we headed back."

Just to be on the safe side, Wayne asked one more question: "These mushrooms aren't poisonous, are they?"

"Of course," Karen said.

Chris sensed a hidden meaning in his words and snorted irritably, "Just eat yours then, it won't poison you."

Wayne lifted his leg and stepped onto the rock where Chris was standing, facing her directly.

Years have passed, and Wayne's height has increased dramatically; he is now a head taller than Chris.

She took a slightly awkward step back, her tone fierce but actually menacing, and said, "What, trying to show off how tall you are?"

Wayne chuckled, "My shoes are behind you, so of course I'll come up from here."

Chris then remembered that Wayne had taken off his coat, shoes, and socks under a big tree by the stream before going into the water.

Feeling a little embarrassed, she shoved the wooden bucket into his arms.

"I'll go put it on first, you can come over after you've dried yourself!"

Wayne looked down and saw that all the crabs in the barrel were piled up, their pincers crossed, crawling around inside.

……

In the evening, the steamed crabs were taken out of the steamer.

They were arranged neatly in a circle, lying motionless in the dish.

Before being served, these crabs have already been processed by the kitchen. With just a gentle pry, the shell on the abdomen will fall off, revealing the delicious crab meat.

"How pitiful."

Wayne took a big, happy bite.

At the end of summer vacation, he and Chris were vacationing at a villa in the suburbs.

Because of the upcoming school entrance exams, there was no homework, and the holidays were exceptionally long, so the two of them enjoyed a carefree period of time.

"We have to go back to the capital tomorrow... and the day after tomorrow, we have to report to the academy headquarters."

Chris said in a very calm tone.

If it weren't for the extra force with which she devoured the food, Wayne wouldn't have been able to tell that she was excited.

"Yes," he agreed.

Finally, the gears of fate are about to begin turning...

Will Chris Wincher be able to escape the fate of being a wicked heiress and find true happiness?

—Of course, that's possible.

With the script so convincing, how can you possibly lose?

Wayne has already made up his mind. The first thing he will do when school starts is to create an opportunity to get close to the original female lead.

The program at this university is a four-year program. My senior, Olive, graduated with excellent grades two years ago and successfully stayed on as a teacher.

As soon as I get back tomorrow, I'll go find her and pull some strings to get myself and Chris put in the same class as the original female lead.

It seems that years of exposure to the Lily Society have taught me quite a bit.

Before this, Wayne had secretly inquired about "light magic".

Aside from brief descriptions such as "extremely rare" and "blessed by God," there was no useful information.

The only certainty is that this magic is incredibly powerful, and very few people in history have ever possessed it, and they seem to have no connection with each other.

"Wayne, if... I mean, if you ever find a girl you truly like in the future, will you hate me because of her?"

Chris asked, her expression conflicted and puzzled.

Wayne stopped using his fork.

No, it won't.

Hmph, getting anxious and indecisive, aren't you?

He was secretly pleased.

However, Chris's tone quickly changed.

"Hmm... Come to think of it, I'm so popular, no one would dislike me," she said confidently.

Throughout her life, she was undoubtedly one of the leading ladies among the noblewomen.

No matter where she was, there were always girls, some she had seen before, some she hadn't, some she knew, and some she didn't, fluttering around her like butterflies drawn to nectar.

In a sense, Chris has just as many admirers among the girls as the prince.

"By the way, His Highness is still searching everywhere for that mysterious person named 'Aikos,' and he seems to really like her," Chris suddenly said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wayne's expression instantly contorted as if he had eaten spoiled food.

Please! Don't bring this up!

To avoid any unnecessary complications, he has been trying his best to avoid transforming in the outside world.

In other words, there has been no news about Aikos in the capital for five whole years since her last appearance.

But His Highness was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, he became even more determined.

Every girl who confessed her feelings to him was rejected by him without exception, with the reason that "he already has someone else in his heart and only loves one person in his life," and they have not been engaged to this day.

"His Highness is so devoted!"

Chris exclaimed.

Wien picked up his knife and fork in indignation and continued eating.
