My love index is at its maximum.

"Xiao Si is amazing." Qi Chuan Li reached out and ruffled his head, her tone bright and cheerful, "A remarkable life, and an extraordinary brain."

"Why are you suddenly praising me?" Tsukasa Tazaki asked.

"Just playing with words." Kurisu chuckled. "Every army needs a battle flag, and I need one too."

"Battle flag?"

"Yes, Xiao Si is Auntie's battle flag."

"don't know……"

“There are two factions within the Qichuan family, one is your grandfather, and the other is your aunt.” Qichuan Li tried to smile naturally. “After your grandfather fell ill, your aunt has been in charge of everything inside and outside the Qichuan family. But your grandfather’s faction has more or less some objections, and you are the battle flag in your aunt’s hands.”

“It’s perfectly clear.” Tsukasa Tazaki nodded. “My aunt explained it very clearly.”

"Is Xiao Si willing?" Qichuan Li smiled gently, her delicate fingers stroking his cheek. "Don't worry, you don't need to do anything. You just need to operate within the Qichuan family mansion, using the surname 'Qichuan.' This is of utmost importance. Can you do it?"

Tsukasa Tazaki rested his hands on Yui Kikawa's head, which was in front of his chest, and pondered for a minute or two.

There is only one conclusion.

Her existence in the Qichuan family could only depend on her aunt's faction.

Even setting aside the connection with Yui Kichikawa, if he were to personally take over the power of his grandfather's faction, it would be tantamount to compromising with the past. From a practical standpoint, this might not be bad, but from an emotional standpoint, he would find it hard to accept.

After a moment's thought, Tsukasa Tazaki replied, "I agree."

"Tazaki, you..."

Kikawa Yui opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.

In the end, she simply raised her neck and kissed his lips.

"Wonderful!" Kurisu Kawa also moved closer, her shoulder touching Tsukasa Tazaki's shoulder, and tapped his chest with her index fingernail, asking, "Have you felt resentful because you're being manipulated by your aunt?"

Do you want the truth or a lie?

"Of course it's the truth."

"Whoo~"

Tazaki Tsukasa took a deep breath and looked Kurisu Kawakami up and down: "In a few years, I will get back at my aunt with interest for this pent-up frustration."

Kurisu chuckled softly.

"Do you mean your aunt's body?" she asked.

“…I can’t stand you.” Tsukasa Tazaki looked away and at Yui Kichikawa in his arms. “Please keep an eye on me, big brother.”

Kikawa Yui warned, "Don't get any funny ideas!"

Then, she smiled slightly.

The noble princess gazed at her beloved, a radiant smile spreading across her face, which slightly eased the almost solidified, oppressive emotions in Tazaki Tsukasa's chest.

Kurisu played with the hair on her forehead with her little finger, her bright and affectionate eyes gently looking at the two of them.

She felt increasingly satisfied with Tsukasa Tazaki.

It's even more amazing than what you see.

When doing something, he can maintain a calm and composed demeanor while remaining energetic. Although he is a womanizer, he gives the impression of being a gentleman, gets along well with many beautiful ladies, and can easily win their hearts.

It has many unique abilities and some strange and wonderful gadgets. I've used quite a few myself, and they're always a pleasant surprise...

Ok.

For the sake of my own comfort, I should tie him up tightly and not let him run away from me.

"Hey, Xiao Si, can I ask you a question?"

Kurisu leaned closer, her shoulder brushing against Tsukasa Tazaki's, her lips pouting mischievously as always. "When you behaved badly before, your aunt ignored you and didn't help you. Did you resent that? Now that you've behaved well, your aunt is all over you again. Don't you think that's just opportunistic?"

Faced with this question, Tsukasa Tazaki fell into deep thought for a moment.

Chapter 356 A Dirty World, A Wicked Woman.

On the grassy hilltop, Kurisu Kawakawa bent her knees, her gaze fixed intently on Tsukasa Tazaki.

While staring at him, she kept tapping her lips with her right middle finger. After touching them several times, she put her hand back on her knee and tapped it.

Tazaki Tsukasa was deep in thought, his arm around Kikawa Yui.

He would glance at her every now and then.

After walking a long way along the mountain road, the head of the Qichuan family was still dressed excessively neatly, with a dignified face, charming eyes, long fingers, and nails that were cut very short and almost invisible.

Even stranger, her pupils had somehow acquired a luster like that of a glasswork. It was as if ice had melted in a glass, the clear water mixed with grape juice, creating an uneven hue.

After a long while, Tsukasa Tazaki shrugged: "There may be some resentment, but because the resentment towards that old man is greater, it overshadows the resentment towards others."

Kurisu nodded.

Clouds were suspended in the sky, and the air was perfectly normal.

After a pause, she spoke: "Don't you think it's shameful that your aunt only extended an olive branch to you after seeing how outstanding you have become?"

“A normal person would do the same, there’s nothing shameful about it,” Tsukasa Tazaki replied frankly.

"Thank you."

Kurisu narrowed her eyes shyly and smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth.

That smile gave people a sense of relief and ease, as if to say that it wouldn't hurt to stay on the mountaintop for a week if possible.

The next second, her eyes reddened, and she choked out, "You can't blame Auntie for what happened before..."

Kikawa Yui rubbed her temples.

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed to have a mother who loves acting so much, she immediately reached out and covered her ears.

"Back then, your aunt had just gained control over the family's external affairs. Although she felt sorry for you, she didn't dare to disobey your grandfather on family matters... You know that in such an old-fashioned family, the head of the family has more authority than the emperor."

"Alright, alright," Tsukasa Tazaki pushed away Kurisu Kawakami's mature body that was pressed against him, his expression and tone showing disgust. "We're already so familiar with each other, Auntie, stop putting on an act in front of me."

“Auntie is telling the truth, she’s not acting!” Kurisu Kawa pressed herself tightly against him, wrapping her arms around his. “You’re Rin-nee’s child. Even if Auntie doesn’t like you, she wouldn’t let you be bullied.”

Tsukasa Tazaki looked down at Yui Kikawa.

“When you were little, my mother did ask me to take good care of you,” Yui Kichikawa answered frankly.

With this answer, Tsukasa Tazaki felt much better.

"You believe your aunt now?" Kurisu asked, her eyes red.

“I believe you,” Tsukasa Tazaki said with a smile.

Kurisu's eyes cleared instantly, and she stopped faking her tears. While tracing strange patterns on Tsukasa Tazaki's shoulder with her slender white fingertips, she spoke in a light tone: "Over the years, although Auntie has become increasingly tight-lipped about the family business, at home, she still has to obediently listen to your grandfather. She can't just kick away people she doesn't like. It's so frustrating!"

"For example?"

"Didn't you run into one at the last family dinner?"

"Whose father?"

"Yeah, that guy's father. If it weren't for your grandpa, your aunt would have sent him to the Brazilian rainforest to expand his business a long time ago."

"It's not too late now."

"Hmm, it's not too late now. After the old man steps down, Xiao Si, please represent the continuation of your grandfather's power and lead them to obediently submit to my feet, Qichuan Li, and smell my stinky feet!"

“A filthy world, a wicked woman!” Tsukasa Tazaki shook his head helplessly, “and her stinky feet.”

“It’s absolutely true,” Kurisu Kawakami said, leaning closer. “My aunt’s feet smell awful.”

"Two votes that stink to high heaven!"

"Don't you like it?" she asked back.

"Two votes for utterly despicable behavior. We'll adopt that suggestion and send a fax out tomorrow!"

"Yes, we must cast two infamous votes and send a fax to inform the whole world. No one cares about the victim; everyone wants to protect themselves, including me."

Half-jokingly saying something nonsensical, Kurisu rested her pretty chin on Tsukasa Tazaki's shoulder, staring at him and chuckling incessantly.

Feeling the weight on his shoulder, Tsukasa Tazaki turned his head and stared speechlessly at her smiling face.

Her face was beautiful, her features delicate, her bright eyes sparkled with tears, and her skin was smooth and tender, without a single wrinkle.

She looks no more than 24 or 25; you'd never guess she's almost 40.

There are two more women like my aunt. It's such a strange feeling to be surrounded by them. Tsukasa Tazaki sighed and said, "After spending so much time with my aunt, I feel like my ability to judge a woman's age is rapidly crumbling away."

"It's all thanks to Xiao Si," Kurisu Kikawa said with a playful smirk, "The best way to keep a woman young is to fill her body and mind. My body and mind have long been filled to overflowing by Xiao Si!"

"...Cough cough!"

Tsukasa Tazaki was so shocked that he almost choked on his own saliva.

Perhaps finding his flushed and embarrassed appearance amusing, Kurisu Kawakami clutched her stomach and laughed incessantly, her mature and voluptuous body rolling around on the grass, exuding a unique allure.

"To! Saki! Tsukasa!"

"Brother, let me explain!"

Following the graceful curves of her long legs beneath her short skirt, Tsukasa Tazaki looked up at the menacing Yui Kikawa. A white, cute-shaped ice cream cone was falling from the sky, about to fill his vision.

"Smell my stinky feet!"

The girl sneered and let out a terrifying sound.

But the next second, she suddenly hesitated, the ice cream hovering a few centimeters from the tip of Tsukasa Tazaki's nose.

It wasn't that she didn't want to step on it, but based on her experience living with Tsukasa Tazaki, this pervert might actually be enjoying it, so she guessed it was... well, maybe?

Just as she was about to pull her foot back, Tsukasa Tazaki suddenly grabbed her ankle and pulled her down onto himself, and the two of them rolled around on the grass.

Blue sky and white clouds, clear light, wet lawn, and the girl's angry shouts echoing incessantly.

"Hey, hey, let go..."

"Tsukasa Tazaki, you're asking for it..."

Hearing her daughter's cries, Kurisu held her young and beautiful face in her hands, her eyes sparkling, her expression a mixture of longing and ecstasy: "What does it feel like to roll around in someone's arms like this? I really want to try it myself."

The sky was clear from noon onwards, and by a little after 1 p.m., the sunlight was already very bright.
