Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

In the soft, spacious bed, Arya's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

The girl stared blankly at the ceiling with her clear eyes.

Last night she had a very strange dream, a jumbled mess that she couldn't quite explain.

To put it simply, the content is somewhat outrageous and not suitable for outsiders to discuss.

To make matters worse, when she woke up, she felt weak and sore all over, as if she hadn't slept all night, and she didn't feel any comfort at all.

Arya wanted to close her eyes and stay in bed a little longer, but then she thought, this is Clara's manor. She can't stay in someone else's house and not get up until the sun is high in the sky.

She propped herself up on her arms, intending to sit up and get out of bed.

Just then, the blanket on my right side twitched slightly, and something moved inside.

The next second, a furry head popped out from under the covers.

Clara's eyes were half-open, her gaze hazy, and she let out a small yawn.

"Arya, you're awake. Good morning."

"Good morning," Arya replied casually, then cut to the chase, "Why are you lying next to me?"

Clara instantly perked up, a sly smile playing on her lips, and lowered her voice mysteriously.

"Last night, I was like a slippery eel, I darted right into your bed."

After she finished speaking, she stared longingly at Arya, shook her head, and looked like a little puppy waiting for its owner to pat its head and praise it.

"How was it? Aren't I amazing?"

Arya looked at her mischievous appearance and felt a sense of helplessness, so she asked again.

"You didn't do anything strange to me last night, did you?"

Clara curled the corners of her lips, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

"you guess."

Arya frowned, and blurted out, "Did you take my pants off?"

"Take another guess."

Without much thought, Arya knew the answer in a fraction of a second.

No need to ask, it's definitely true.

"No wonder I had that strange dream last night."

She muttered something under her breath, which just happened to drift into Clara's ears.

Clara immediately became interested and moved closer, chasing after her and asking questions.

"What kind of dream? Tell me quickly! Was I in your dream?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

Arya was too lazy to argue with her, so she reached out and pulled off the blanket covering her, intending to get out of bed.

The icy air instantly enveloped her body. She subconsciously looked down and then suddenly realized that she wasn't wearing any clothes.

She hurriedly turned to look at the bed. Clara was already sitting up straight, holding a pink object high in her right hand and waving it back and forth in front of her.

Arya recognized it immediately; it was her underwear.

Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she muttered a self-reproach.

"I slept so soundly yesterday that I didn't even notice my bra being unhooked. I'm so careless."

After saying that, she reached out towards Clara.

"Give it back to me now."

Clara raised her chin, looking smug, refusing to back down in the slightest.

"No, once it's in my hands, it's mine."

As soon as she finished speaking, she buried her face in the pink bra with the bear pattern and took several deep breaths.

When she raised her head again, her face was flushed, as if she had been drinking sweet wine, and her eyes were unfocused.

"Hehe, Arya's lingerie smells sweet, with a faint milky scent, it smells so good."

Arya felt a chill run down her spine and didn't want to say another word to the foolish Clarado. She turned and walked straight to the bathroom.

Seeing that Arya was completely ignoring her, Clara's happy expression vanished instantly, and she felt sullen.

However, this frustration only lasted a second before a wicked idea popped into her head.

Clara carefully folded the underwear and placed it on the bedside table, then jumped off the bed and followed Arya into the bathroom.

A moment later, Arya's angry and embarrassed voice came from the bathroom.

"What are you doing in here!"

"Just let me touch it gently, just once."

"No, you get out of here right now!"

"If you won't let me touch you, I can at least use my mouth, right?"

"You should stop now!"

"I'm not listening, you're just spouting nonsense, I'm not going out."

The embarrassing noises of their playful fighting continued in the bathroom for a long time. Only after the two of them had finished getting ready did they leave the room one after the other and head down to the restaurant.

The manor restaurant is brightly lit, with warm, soft sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows and filling the entire room.

In the corner by the window sat a white-haired girl.

It was the Song of Chu.

She sat quietly at the table, slowly enjoying her breakfast. The plate in front of her was piled high with fried ham and soft-boiled eggs, a large, perfectly cooked thick steak, a cup of warm black coffee, and an iced pineapple dessert.

Chu Ge had already finished her third meal when she heard two girls chatting and laughing outside the restaurant.

"Alright, alright, I only licked it lightly, Arya, don't keep sulking."

"I'm not angry at all," Arya said, her voice slightly unnatural.

It seems to be... shame?

As soon as the two stepped into the restaurant, Aria spotted Chu Ge by the window and quickly raised her hand to greet him.

"Good morning, Sister Alice."

Chu Ge looked up and gave her a gentle "good morning," with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Arya. You all stayed up too late yesterday, and I was afraid of waking you up, so I didn't go upstairs to call you. I came to have breakfast by myself first."

"It's alright." Arya quickly waved her hand, secretly relieved.

Fortunately, Chu Ge didn't go upstairs to call her. If he had seen her and Clara lying on the same bed with their clothes disheveled last night, she would have been so embarrassed that she would have nowhere to hide.

After everyone sat down to eat, and it was quiet for a while, Clara suddenly put down her knife and fork and turned to look at Arya beside her.

"Arya, are you returning to the City of Violins today?"

"Yes, I have to leave today." Arya answered truthfully, "The date of the Music God's Grand Ceremony Competition is getting closer and closer, and I have to go back with my sister to make the most of my time to practice the piano and prepare for the competition."

She looked at Clara and could clearly see the reluctance in the other's eyes.

In truth, Arya was also reluctant to part with this friend who was always clinging to her.

Although Clara always liked to tease her and would do all sorts of outrageous and mischievous things from time to time, she had gotten used to it after spending so much time together and never really took it to heart. She always regarded Clara as her best friend.

In fact, Arya sometimes thinks that if either Clara or she were a boy, it wouldn't be impossible for them to be together.

But the truth is, they are both girls.

The naive and innocent girl didn't believe that two girls could be together.

This is not biologically accurate.

Clara pursed her lips slightly after hearing this.

She knew in her heart that preparing for the competition was a serious matter, and no matter how reluctant she was, she couldn't force Arya to stay.

The girl thought to herself, "If only I were a boy, I could marry Arya without hesitation, instead of doing it all in secret."

After breakfast, Clara instructed the family driver to prepare the car and personally drove Chu Ge and Aria back to the City of Violins.

The car drove smoothly all the way, and soon arrived at the gate of Arya's villa.

As soon as the two opened the back door of the car and got out, they bumped into Aigu, who was walking hurriedly and looked like he was about to go out.

Seeing her father's furrowed brows and anxious expression, Arya quickly stepped forward and asked him what was wrong.

"Dad, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going to take care of something?"

Upon seeing her daughter, Aigu's tense brows relaxed slightly, and she didn't hide anything, explaining the reason directly.

"I've run into some trouble in business. One of my teams that specializes in hunting monsters is trapped in the Monster Forest. I'm preparing to take some men to rescue them."

Upon hearing this, Arya's heart clenched instantly, filled with worry.

"Isn't that place dangerous?"

Over the years, Aigu's business related to monsters has grown larger and larger. In addition to collecting the carcasses of monsters killed by other hunters, he also maintains a team of monster hunters who go into the mountains to capture and kill monsters all year round.

The profits from the monsters harvested by their own team each month are far higher than those from randomly recycling goods from outsiders.

The only exception was the time when they acquired the monsters from the Chu singers.

Chu Ge stood aside and calmly asked.

"Do you need me to come up the mountain with you to help?"

Aigu quickly waved his hand in refusal, his tone very firm.

"No need to trouble you. This time we're going to the same forest where you hunted the monsters last time. You've already cleared out all the powerful high-level monsters there. What's left are at most C-level and B-level monsters, which I can handle."

"Okay." Chu Ge nodded gently and said nothing more.

Aigu turned to look at Arya and gently instructed her.

"Just stay home and practice the piano with your sister Alice. Dad will probably be back in the evening after he finishes taking care of things. Remember to eat on time and don't go hungry."

"I'll remember that, Dad. You must be very careful when you're out there."

As soon as she finished speaking, Arya took a step forward, opened her arms, and threw herself into Aigu's arms, pressing her head tightly against his chest.

Arya would never have done such a gesture of giving a hug in the past.

Over the years, she has never been able to get rid of her mother's past. She always felt that the root of all the suffering her mother endured was the man in front of her.

She couldn't quite describe her feelings for Aigu.

To say it was deep love would be an exaggeration;

It wouldn't be accurate to call it hatred.

Countless days and nights, she struggled with the question of whether her father had wronged her mother.

But looking back calmly, Aigu had never betrayed his mother in his entire life.

His mother never harbored any resentment towards him until the very end of her life.

Arya knew in her heart that she had no right to resent her father.

She also knew that Aigu truly loved her mother and genuinely cared for her.

The thought of her father heading to the monster forest and possibly encountering danger at any moment instantly dispelled the years of estrangement in her heart. Unable to restrain herself any longer, she took the initiative to hug him.

She was afraid, afraid that her father would leave her like her mother had left her years before.

The sudden hug left Aigu stunned, and he was at a loss for what to do.

This is the first time his daughter has taken the initiative to approach and hug him since he was released from prison and returned home.

Feeling the girl's arms tighten around him, Aigu slowly raised his hand and gently wrapped it around Arya's back, patting her back softly with his palm.

"Silly child, your father hasn't even seen you grow up, hasn't even seen you shine on the field, how could something happen to you?"

Arya buried her face in his clothes and muttered softly.

"If I never grow up, will Dad be safe and sound forever, without having to take any risks?"

Aigu responded softly.

"We'll do whatever Arya says."

The father and daughter stood at the entrance of the villa and embraced each other for a long time.

Chu Ge didn't want to disturb this rare moment of warmth, so he deliberately looked away and turned to walk into the villa.

She had only taken two steps when she stopped, turned around, reached out, and picked up Doubao, who was squatting at the feet of the father and daughter, watching with great interest.

"Children are not allowed to peek."

Chu Ge raised his hand to cover the golden retriever's curious eyes, and carried Doubao into the villa together.

Doubao was indignant. Even if she couldn't watch, she could at least protest.

Just as it opened its mouth to bark, Chu Ge anticipated this and pinched its mouth shut with his fingers.

Doubao struggled to raise its little paws and tugged at Chu Ge's sleeve several times, but in the end it could only obediently settle down.

Chu Ge carried Doubao to the backyard garden, placed it on the lawn, and sat down in front of the white piano in the center of the courtyard. His fingertips landed on the keys, and he slowly began to play "Für Elise".

As the piano piece came to a slow close, Arya bid farewell to her father and walked to the back garden, where she sat quietly beside Chu Ge.

"Have you and Mr. Aigu finally resolved your differences?" Chu Ge asked casually while tidying up the piano keys.

"Mm." Arya nodded gently, a hint of relief in her eyes.

Chu Ge didn't ask any more questions. His fingertips returned to the piano keys, playing a soothing and gentle prelude, and he played along with Arya.

The tinkling sound of the piano filled the sun-drenched back garden, and the crisp, melodious tune attracted several colorful butterflies, which fluttered around the piano.

As soon as Doubao saw the butterflies, it immediately took off running and chased after the swarm of butterflies across the lawn.

As the ensemble ended, Doubao, after struggling for a long time, failed to catch even half a butterfly. Undeterred, she collapsed under the tree, curled up, and fell fast asleep.

Chu Ge turned his head and quietly observed Aria for a few seconds before slowly speaking.

"Your father has always loved you very much, and he has lived with guilt all these years regarding your mother. He doesn't know how to get along with you, always thinking that you dislike him, and he doesn't dare to take the initiative to approach you."

Chu Ge has never liked to meddle in other people's emotional entanglements, nor does he like to act as a mediator or advise others.

The last time she proactively offered advice to someone was when Chu Hong was defeated by Tang Xiaoran in a competition between the two schools, and he became depressed, locking himself in his room and refusing to come out. In order not to worry Chu's parents, she went into his room late at night and used a baseball bat to encourage him, telling him that he should not give up easily because of a small setback, and that he should be strong.

Chu Hong, being the elder brother, truly took his words to heart that night.

He only endured twenty or thirty blows, but he was completely transformed. Before dawn the next day, he set off early to go to school and bury himself in his studies.

Chu Ge still remembers this incident clearly.

That night, Chu Hong instinctively dodged, but bumped right into the stick she was swinging, which hit his Adam's apple.

The blow was extremely heavy, and Chu Hong vomited blood on the spot. He gritted his teeth the whole time and didn't utter a single groan of pain.

Chu Ge secretly admired his older brother, who was born before him, for his resilience was truly unmatched by ordinary people.

Having learned from this accidental injury, Chu Hong dared not dodge again, standing straight and calmly accepting all the remaining beatings.

After the beating, the boy looked weak and on the verge of death, but in fact most of the injuries were superficial and did not reach any vital organs.

Fortunately, Lin Xueli had stored a lot of healing medicines at the Chu family's place.

While these medicines cannot save someone who is seriously injured and on the verge of death, they are more than sufficient to treat superficial injuries caused by bumps and blows.

It was thanks to the quick effect of these ointments that Chu Hong was able to go to school the next day as if nothing had happened, full of energy.

However, Chu Ge could only touch upon the unresolved issues between Arya and her father.

The long-standing grudges between mother and daughter, and father and daughter, can only be resolved by the two of them slowly on their own.

"I know," Arya replied softly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand, her fingertips landing on the black and white piano keys, and played a brand new melody.

The melody is gentle and soothing, and it contains the unique tenderness of family affection.

This was the first time Chu Ge had heard Arya play this piece.

The girl gently closed her eyes, her fingertips slowly tracing the piano keys, playing at an extremely slow pace.

The piece is short, lasting less than a minute, before the melody abruptly ends.

Arya slowly opened her eyes, looked up at the clear blue sky in the distance, watched the white clouds drift slowly away, and saw flocks of birds flying across the sky, and spoke softly.

"This piece is for my father. I wrote it on and off for more than three years, but I never finished it, so I never dared to play it for him."

"I originally planned to wait until the whole piece was finished, play it for him in person, and then tell him that I no longer blamed him."

Arya lowered her head, her gaze falling on a row of piano keys in front of her.

"But I had already forgiven him without realizing it, and that's why I couldn't come up with the melody for the second half of the song and put it aside for a long time."

At this point, the girl changed the subject, as if she had figured something out, and murmured to herself.

"But now, I think I know how to write the second half."

As soon as she finished speaking, Arya pressed the piano keys again, and the music began to play softly once more.

This time, she didn't start from the beginning; she went straight back to the section that had been interrupted earlier.

The gentle and lingering melody flowed slowly, and each note contained the love that the daughter kept hidden in her heart and never spoke out.

A thousand words were stuck in my throat, and I could never say them;

Countless times I wanted to go up and hug them, but I could never take the first step.

It was the "I love you" that I had kept hidden for many years, unable to utter it aloud.

The music was slow and melodious. A butterfly flew for a long time, exhausted, and gently landed on the tip of the sleeping baby's nose.

Doubao felt a tickle on the tip of his nose, and groggily raised his head, about to let out a loud sneeze.

Upon seeing this, Chu Ge swayed and instantly moved to the other party's side, reaching out to pinch Doubao's mouth.

Da me.

"Good dog, not now."

Doubao seemed to understand her words and obediently held back, managing to suppress the sneeze.

Another minute passed, and the last melody slowly faded away, bringing the entire piece to a complete end.

Chu Ge raised his hand and clapped gently.

Doubao couldn't hold it in any longer, and the sneeze that she had been holding back for so long suddenly burst out, the loud sound particularly abrupt, as if she was joining in the "support".

Chu Ge looked at Aria and asked.

"Have you thought of a name for this piece of music?"

Arya answered almost without hesitation.

"A Letter to Aigu"

"I'll play the whole thing for Dad when he gets home tonight."

The girl waited with anticipation, cherishing this tenderness.

—But even as the silver moon climbed into the night sky and all the city lights were lit, Aigu's figure never appeared at the villa's entrance.

Arya stood alone outside the gate, having waited anxiously for two whole hours. The road ended in emptiness, and she could not see her father's returning vehicle.

She grew increasingly panicked and restless, and decided to go out into the mountains alone to search for him.

Arya turned around and shouted loudly into the villa.

"Sister Alice!"

The empty villa echoed with layers of sounds, and no matter how repeatedly she called out, she received no response.

Chu Ge had already left the villa by this time.

Using her spatial power, she traversed a vast distance in a single step, heading ahead to the monster forest that Aigu had gone to rescue.
