At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

"what?"

"I'm asking you, did you secretly scout out the location beforehand?"

"……Yeah?"

"?"

Looking at her face, which finally couldn't hold back and revealed her true colors, Su Che finally understood that she had completely gone astray.

"White Chocolate taught you that, right?"

“Ah, little brother, don’t blame her… She just wanted to help me… She didn’t have any bad intentions.”

Tang Tang tried to maintain the image of the head maid, but her words had a special effect... triggering someone's reward mechanism.

"Then you don't need to worry about it. In any case, I will severely punish the head maid who indiscriminately imparts wrong knowledge to the trainee maids."

Su Che straightened his face, making a gesture of opposition to such behavior.

Originally, they wanted to distract Tang Tang from her extreme needs with serious matters, but who knew that Tang Tang would have the kind of attribute of "immunity to cultivation techniques"? Not only was she unmoved by soft or hard tactics, but she could also turn damage into energy and absorb it into her body to replenish herself...

She let out a sigh of relief, nodded helplessly, and said softly:

"Alas, the head maid's efforts resulted in such a bad outcome, which is truly regrettable. However... as a participant in the wrongdoing and as the one who asked the question that led to her punishment, I am clearly also responsible... Since my brother insists on punishment, I am willing to accept this punishment in place of the head maid. Is that reasonable?"

"???"

“Little brother, look, we’ll go to that punishment spot with excellent feng shui later. I’ll kneel down and bury my head in my hands to accept the punishment. You can do whatever you want with me. Can you forgive her then?”

Chapter 324 Finding Joy in the Cold

After meeting Tang Tang, Su Che realized that he didn't actually have much courage.

For example, in the wild, one cannot withstand the biting cold wind and feels that exposing one's skin to the cold in the early spring night is very cold.

But Tang Tang doesn't think so.

Perhaps she was also cold, but what replaced it was more of a thrill, a morbid ecstasy of obtaining a unique warmth in this cold state.

Su Che's worldview was refreshed by her, and he gradually began to glimpse the door to a new world regarding some new gameplay.

In the latter half of the night, the two, still feeling tipsy, went to a nearby love hotel, their main goal being that no matter where they were in the first half of the night, they would always end up in a bed, which they considered a complete date.

Su Che learned something.

He no longer believed that he had a pure kitten in his home.

-

……

Another day passed, and the date plan was nearing its end.

A series of more than ten dates is often jokingly referred to by the maids in the house as a "loser's game"...

After all, the other sisters have eaten all the good stuff, and even if you slurp the leftover soup and broth, you probably won't be able to get a single 5ml sip of the elixir to quench your thirst.

"Ugh……"

Fubuki Mikami felt extremely frustrated.

From the very beginning when she joined this family, she knew very well that she was just a "tool" for her senior brother... Although they were classmates, to put it nicely they were senior and junior, to put it bluntly they were just strangers, with no extra benefits at all.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. Through the demand for "Seven Colors" and a lot of effort, he managed to sneak into his house, but that was all he could do.

The "Mosse" competition is over, and her senior is no longer focused on the band and music. Her sense of purpose has also disappeared, which is what troubles Mikami the most. She has been suffering from insomnia for a long time.

Originally, I thought that if my senior brother liked to sneak food, it would be fine, as I could provide him with physical pleasure. However, considering the actual situation, all the cats at home are incredibly cute and cuddly, and each cat has its own special skill. It would be almost unrealistic to stand out from the crowd.

With goddess Ari as the beauty icon, Miya and Xiao Yuanxiao as the cute mascots, the head maid with an invincible figure, Asai Suzune with a motherly aura, Yu Xi as the queen of legs, and Gu Zhi as the spokesperson for room comfort...

Even if I were to say that I am an A-level in every aspect, it is precisely because I am an A-level that I am not as dazzling as someone who excels in a certain aspect to the SSS level.

This problem is almost becoming a mental obsession for Mikami Fubuki.

"I haven't been able to eat or drink anything lately, and even on our date, I have absolutely no interest in spending time with my senior..."

As if she had given herself a death sentence, she slumped into her small room, facing the four walls, her mind in turmoil.

This situation continued for a long time until Su Che took the initiative to knock on the door and ask to come in.

Thump thump thump, thump thump thump...

"Mikami, are you there? Mikami, I heard your voice. Am I coming in?"

This was the first time he had encountered a kitten who wasn't proactive about dating, which immediately caught his attention.

"Um... Senior brother, come in. The door isn't locked."

Mikami's response was listless and her tone was quite weak; one could tell that she must have looked haggard at that moment.

Sure enough, when Su Che opened the door, he saw that the girl hadn't even put on makeup, washed her hair, or even changed out of her pajamas. She was dealing with the date in a "super casual" and "completely informal" manner.

This left someone speechless.

"No... Mikami, are you feeling unwell?"

Su Che quickly walked to her side, reached out and touched her forehead.

"No... Senior, I'm sorry, I really... feel so bad... I feel like I don't have enough energy to support this date... Sigh. It's all my fault."

"?!"

These words terrified Su Che. He wondered how his cat could become depressed when he hadn't done anything wrong.

How can things possibly get better if things continue like this?

No, I have to help her.

"Mikami, listen to me."

Su Che helped her up, gently patted her cheek with his thumb, and said earnestly, "It's normal to feel down, but on days like these, you can tell me if you're feeling down, and I'll try to make you feel happier. After all, it's my responsibility."

"is it?"

Fubuki Mikami glanced at him with a hopeless look.

"Ah."

Su Che nodded emphatically.

“Okay, senior brother… In fact… I feel very useless.”

"It didn't work?"

“That’s right.” Mikami Fubuki said sadly, “Ever since my senior brother shifted his attention away from music, I’ve realized that I’m no longer needed by him. I feel like I have no place in this family… I don’t understand what I can offer my senior brother.”

"Ah... so this is what troubles you...?"

Su Che nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

"Well, look, even Mianmian and the others who came after me can make cakes and chocolates for you, Senior Brother, and they've known you for a long time... Lin Xi, on the other hand, is very young, the youngest among us younger sisters... She's far ahead in terms of physical youth. As for me... although I specialize in songwriting, I can no longer make you happy by writing songs... so, so..."

As Mikami Fubuki spoke, something glistening caught in the corner of her eye.

Now, Su Che was in a bit of a predicament.

He could clearly sense the girl's distress, knowing that she was lacking in "self-worth" and even doubting herself. This caused her to ignore important days like dates, which was a clear sign of self-abandonment and could potentially lead to depression.

Su Che considered himself to be relatively clear-headed. Mikami Fubuki's terrible state today didn't seem like acting, nor did it seem like the sophisticated tactics of Sister Tang.

If it really is a scam, then I'll accept it if I fall into it. After all, I've never seen such a scam before; it's incredibly clever.

He thought for a moment and chose to start by offering physical comfort.

"Mikami, listen to me."

He wrapped his arms around the girl's slender waist.

At the same time, he felt the girl's body stiffen noticeably, clearly indicating that she was somewhat nervous.

Su Che remained silent for a while, waiting for her to adjust, before speaking earnestly: "Everyone has their own strengths. Mikami, you have helped me a lot. I will not forget the help you have given me, and I hope you can remember that."

"I know...but..."

The girl hesitated, her eyes filled with timidity as she looked at him.

It's as if they've accepted that they're just a disposable tool, and once they lose their value, they won't be remembered.

Su Che read this information and naturally frowned slightly, correcting him, "Do you have some misunderstanding about me? Do you think I'm the kind of man who never remembers what he's given?"

"No... Senior, but compared to their charm, my efforts are negligible... When I invited you to live with me, you refused in less than five seconds, which shows that my charm is seriously lacking..."

"what?"

Su Che was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Good heavens, she's still holding a grudge about this..."

"Yeah, my senior brother didn't accept my invitation to live together. I was depressed for a long time, but every time I went to Master Ma's class, I deliberately perked up so that my senior brother wouldn't notice... Sigh..."

"..."

Su Che couldn't sit still any longer because of Mikami Fubuki's adorable appearance.

He admitted that he knew too little about her and had never realized that the girl had such a personality...

Any careless remark could become a thorn, growing larger and larger in her fragile heart... until she could no longer bear it and completely collapsed.

"Mikami, how long have you been experiencing this... fragile ego?"

Su Che couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? Senior brother, I'm not thin-skinned... I just... I just care about you too much."

"is it?"

"Of course, so I will take your words to heart, and especially your evaluation of me..."

"Are you sure there's no over-interpretation?"

"No. My senior brother is surrounded by too many beautiful women, so naturally he wouldn't like someone like me..."

As Mikami spoke, he lowered his head again.
