In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

"Alright, alright, Rikka, stop fooling around. Let's go back and rest, and not disturb Chiyo."

"Um……"

Eriri stepped forward and tugged at Rikka's hand.

Rikka nodded, but when she responded, she didn't dare to look at him directly, her gaze wandering around.

This small gesture immediately made Yuan Qianye's heart pound wildly again.

"Rikka!" he suddenly said, drawing her and Eriri's gaze back to him.

His tense and serious expression relaxed a little: "I'll tell you everything you want to know when we have time later, so there's no need to rush. Go and get some rest. Goodnight, Eriri too. Goodnight."

Rikka and Eriri both breathed a small sigh of relief as his tone softened.

"OK, good night."

"You should have said that sooner... Goodnight."

The two women turned around.

Yuan Qianye stared intently at their backs, his gaze sweeping back and forth across the edge of the bed.

He hesitated whether to take advantage of the moment to destroy the evidence.

After thinking about it, I forced myself to hold back.

Firstly, Eriri and Rikka might turn back at any time, and secondly, Toka is currently clinging tightly to him under the covers to prevent them from noticing anything amiss. Under these circumstances, even his best skills are hard to use.

Rikka and Eriri walked out of the room, and as they were closing the door, they turned back and waved to him.

Finally, just as the door closed, Gen Chiya immediately and anxiously said to Toka, "Let me go!"

These words came as a bit of a surprise to Toka, but since she was now unconditionally cooperating with Gen Chiya, she immediately withdrew her hand and did as she was told.

The next moment, Yuan Qianye leaned over and grabbed Toka's slippers from the bedside!

"See? I told you to go first, and that made Chiya angry..." Eriri pouted and muttered to Rikka in the corridor, "...Now he's made me angry too."

"Alright, alright, you know what kind of person my brother is. He's just faking it to scare us. When has he ever really been angry with us..." Rikka played with a strand of hair on the side of her face, recalling her earlier doubts: "...It's just strange, why did he react so strongly this time?"

"Didn't I already tell you? I just went to the bathroom and wanted to go in to say goodnight to him. When I got closer and saw that he was asleep, I thought I'd just leave it at that. So he was sleeping soundly and you woke him up like that. Of course he's angry!"

Faced with the excited Eriri, Rikka forced a dry laugh, thinking of comforting her, but at that moment, the image of Eriri turning back to wave goodbye to her adoptive brother just before leaving suddenly flashed through her mind.

Wait a minute... weren't there two pairs of slippers by the bed just now?

Eriri was still agonizing over it: "I don't care, you have to take responsibility for this. If Chiya asks about it tomorrow, just say it was you... Hey, wait, Rikka, what are you doing?"

Before she could finish speaking, Rikka suddenly turned around and went back, pushing open Chiya's door without even knocking.

Yuan Qianye was leaning against the headboard, holding his phone and looking at her with a puzzled expression: "What, is there something else?"

Rikka stared intently at the bedside, where there was only a pair of slippers, nothing unusual.

"Is there anything else?" Qianye asked again.

"It's okay, it's okay, goodnight bro~"

Rikka, with a forced smile, was pulled away by Eriri, and this time she truly left.

Back in her room, Rikka gently scratched her face and muttered to herself, "Did I see things wrong?"

After all, she had only glanced at it casually, and the bedside lamp wasn't actually that bright, so she couldn't be entirely sure.

"What did you misread?"

"It's okay, it's okay, goodnight." Rikka didn't think too much about it anymore, mainly because it really wasn't possible.

There are four people living in this house, and all three of them were present. It couldn't possibly be the older sister's slippers, could it?

Haha, that's impossible.

Rikka got into bed without hesitation: "Oh, it's so great to hear from my brother's perspective tomorrow about how your relationship is going to develop!"

"Everyone says it's not a relationship, we just... chatted a little...!" Eriri, extremely embarrassed, vehemently denied it.

But it was no use, and the facts are indeed before us now.

Eriri now dares to sneak into Chiya's room late at night, a very sensitive time, which essentially sends a very clear signal.

"But Eriri, you're still pretty happy, aren't you?" Rikka said, patting the pillow as she leaned against it.

"What... You already knew..." Eriri's sense of shame tonight, after undergoing intense training from the siblings, is completely different from before.

That's not what I meant!

"Who is this one?"

"I think you understand what I mean."

"I don't understand." Eriri lay down on the bed as well.

"Okay, it's Sister Shiyu."

"Why are you suddenly bringing her up?"

"Are you really pretending to be confused, or are you genuinely not realizing what's going on?"

"You idiot Rikka, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"You and my brother have already tied the knot, haven't you..."

"No! I'll emphasize again, we just talked about our feelings for each other, it wasn't as...quick as you think!"

"Okay, okay, let's say that's how it is. Anyway, you two have indeed taken that crucial little step and your relationship has become closer than before, right?"

"……Um."

"That settles it then. In other words, for Shiyu, who is now confirmed to be my brother's girlfriend, you are undoubtedly a latecomer..."

"you……!"

"Don't get angry yet! I didn't mean to say anything to you, Eriri. I'm on your side, and the reason for this complicated relationship is Chiya. It's all his fault! What I want to say is, don't you think your relationship with my older brother and Shiho is a bit complicated right now?"

Rikka lowered her voice, making it sound slightly seductive.

"Just like those sketchbooks you often draw, the one you're holding now is the kind of script where the latecomer surpasses the original~ Oh, speaking of which, your hair color matches it perfectly."

"I'm not blond! I'm blond, blond!"

"Ah, it's blonde! It's blonde!"

Rikka suppressed a smile as she coaxed Eriri, who was getting a little flustered.

Eriri seemed a little angry, but she was secretly pleased with herself after being enlightened by Rikka.

At that moment, there was a knock on their door.

"It's me. Are you asleep?" Yuan Qianye's voice came.

"Not yet, brother, just come in."

Yuan Qianye pushed open the door, but did not come in. He just stood outside the door and said, "I forgot to tell you that Shihua has been very busy these days and has no time to take care of us. So we will eat out for dinner tomorrow night. I will come home to pick you up after I finish work."

"Oh, I see. But you could have just told us tomorrow morning. Why make a special trip?"

"I got up to go to the bathroom and thought I'd let you know while I was at it."

This is a lie.

The truth is, Chiya was worried that Rikka and Eriri might make a surprise return and catch Toka sneaking back to her room, so he came over to casually make conversation to stop them from acting and nip any potential accidents in the bud.

Now that Shihua has safely returned to her room on the other side of the corridor, his mission is complete.

He closed the door and left, went to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, but his lower body was still full of energy.

He tried to turn the doorknob on Shihua's room, and sure enough, it was locked from the inside.

Thinking about it, she was so close to being caught, she was terrified. No matter how she thought about it, there was no way she would let what had just happened continue.

Back in his room, he turned on his phone and saw a message from Shihua.

[Shihua: Let's skip it tonight, let's go to bed early.]

what--

Although I understand that this is the outcome.

But Yuan Qianye was still extremely uncomfortable.

Looking back on what happened on my side last night, what a mess I've made!

…………

Volume 2: Chapter 161: Repressed Desires Will Not Disappear (6k)(12)

The next morning, Yuan Qianye was the first to wake up.

To be precise, he didn't sleep much all night.

The combined effects of the fatigue accumulated from the trip and the emotionally draining conversation with Eriri last night had finally allowed him to suppress the anger and chaotic thoughts that had been building up over the past few days, and he managed to fall into a deep sleep in the latter half of the night.

But not long after, he was completely awakened by Toka's unexpected and passionate late-night visit.

So far, things are actually not too bad.

After all, one can anticipate the thrilling unfolding that is about to happen.

Besides surprise, I felt an overwhelming sense of anticipation and immense joy.

But who could have imagined that at this crucial moment, Eriri would also impulsively sneak into his room?

Even more outrageous! Rikka appeared like a ghost at the last moment, staging a scene of "catching the culprit red-handed"! This series of unexpected developments, comparable to a late-night soap opera, was indeed quite exciting, but for Minamoto Chiyo at that time, it was truly tragic.

With a little manipulation, Toka managed to escape back to his room, and he became the one who suffered.

Gen Chiya lay stiffly on the bed, which was gradually losing the warmth and fragrance of Tokasa.

The flames that had been ignited and stirred to their peak within his body not only failed to extinguish, but instead burned even more fiercely and became even more restless due to the sudden interruption and shock.

Incidentally, his invincible second brother was still full of imposing presence, even more so because of the "unfinished business" and the current frustration, his presence was so strong that it could not be ignored.

This feeling...

It's like a husband who's been away on a business trip for over a month, eagerly rushing home. He hugs his wife, who's waiting expectantly in the entryway, and before he can even say a word, he throws her onto the bed in a frantic rush. He's at the peak of excitement, but then, at the crucial moment when everything's ready to go, his wife blushes and whispers shyly, "Um... honey, today... I got my period..."

This feeling of being abruptly interrupted, with intense emotions and physical urges having nowhere to go, and having to silently process and cool down on one's own...
