I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

And Serabelle is not the kind of person who has no emotional intelligence and would keep talking beside the pillow even though she has seen others close their eyes and prepare to go to sleep.

For the next two hours, the bedroom fell into silence.

Time passed minute by minute, from the afternoon until almost evening.

The sun outside the window, which had moved southward due to the winter, also turned from due south at noon to southwest, and the sunlight that shone through the curtains into the room and landed on the floor was also tinged with a little red.

"Well……"

A faint murmur broke the silence in the room, and Reiko Akiba, who was lying on the bed, frowned slightly.

I slowly opened my eyes, but what I saw was not the familiar ceiling.

Instead, it was the familiar bedside table, and the young man who was sitting next to it, with his eyes slightly closed, his head lowered, and one hand supporting his cheek, looking half asleep and half awake.

Serabelle did not wake up. He was indeed still in a deep sleep, but it was a very light sleep. He would wake up immediately at the sound of a pin drop.

But this was not what surprised Reiko Akiba.

What really surprised her was that she had unconsciously turned from lying flat on her back to lying on her side in her sleep.

You know, ever since she entered high school, her sleeping position has basically been fixed on lying on her back.

It's not because I like it, but because from a scientific research point of view, although sleeping on your side feels more comfortable, it will have a certain impact on the body, especially the spine.

And those who can sleep sideways or even crookedly are heartless people.

If it is a person with a lot on his mind, he may be in the same state when he lies down and when he wakes up.

Reiko Akiba thinks she belongs to the latter category.

But in the past two hours, she had unconsciously let down her guard in her sleep and switched to the most comfortable side-lying position?

"Really...what's going on?"

Murmuring something quietly, Akiba Reiko turned her head slightly upward at a forty-five degree angle.

Only in this way could she see Serabelle's face clearly from the front.

To be honest, this is indeed a very young face. If you only look at the appearance, you might feel that she is only sixteen or seventeen years old.

and many more.

Reiko Akiba suddenly realized that she seemed to have misjudged the former's age.

Before this, due to Serabelle's judgment, ability to act, way of speaking, emotional expression and other factors, she had always thought that the other person was her peer.

But now it seems that she is at least half a circle younger than her, and her facial features have the delicacy of an Oriental but also a bit of Western three-dimensionality. Her skin is whiter, and when she is relaxed, she looks even younger than her sister, Masumi Sera.

Wait, but isn't he a full-time detective? Which means he's not in school...

As if she realized something terrible, Reiko Akita's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

She raised her hand almost subconsciously and reached out to the face that only showed a hint of childishness at this age when he was asleep.

However, this behavior was interrupted before it was implemented.

With one hand clenched into a fist and supporting her cheek, Serabelle opened her eyes just before her cheek was touched. At the same time, she immediately noticed a hand extending from under the quilt across her face.

Looking in the direction of the arm, at the end was a beautiful face of a female singer with a look of helplessness written all over it.

Uh……

It is no exaggeration to say that Reiko Akiba has never experienced such an embarrassing moment in her life.

Something about trying to touch the cheek of a boy half a generation younger than you while he was sleeping, but failing and being caught by the guy...

Although it was not done intentionally, if it was not intentional then it could only be out of instinct!

It seems to be getting worse!

Just as Reiko Akiba's brain was working at full speed, trying to find a reasonable reason to explain her behavior, the boy leaning on the bedside table let out a breath.

"what the hell……"

Serabelle closed her eyes again, speaking incoherently, as if she had not yet woken up.

Then, he took the initiative to lower his height a little, put his cheek against the palm of Reiko Akiba's hand and rubbed it.

!!!

Although it was not so delicate and astonishingly fragile that it could be blown away, it was just the expected touch. But at this moment, Akiba Reiko suddenly understood the feeling of "not being able to hold on in one breath."

Can you imagine the feeling of a beautiful young man whom you have a vague crush on, who, in a daze and half-awake state, puts his face into the palm of your hand?

It’s a critical hit!

It was a severe critical hit!

And it's not just critical damage, it also triggers all the previous accumulated continuous damage.

This is Kafka's big move!

"..."

Any other woman would have held her face and screamed, but fortunately, although Reiko Akiba's brain was almost shut down, her naturally cold personality still allowed her to maintain her last bit of dignity.

Even so, it was still like this - eyes wide open, hands stiff, and lips slightly opened but unable to utter a word and only trembling slightly.

The wonderful moment was fleeting, and the feeling of skin contact disappeared in Reiko Akita's palm before she could come to her senses.

Serabelle straightened up and rubbed her eyes. By the time she put her hands down, she was fully awake and had returned to her usual calm and expressionless appearance.

"Afternoon... oh no, it should be evening now. Did you sleep well, Miss Qiuting?"

"Uh, um..."

Reiko Akiba, whose brain had not yet recovered, responded mechanically.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Serabelle, who was sitting at the head of the bed, stood up.

The sudden action made Reiko Akita stunned again.

"Eh? Where are you going?"

"Of course I went back."

Serabelle, who was about to walk towards the door, turned around curiously and shrugged.

"Miss Qiu Ting, you are awake, aren't you? And you will have to get up and change clothes soon. I can't stay here any longer."

"..."

That's quite true.

Reiko Akita couldn't refute.

"Then I'll go back first."

Seeing that the former said nothing more, Serabell waved her claws and turned to leave the bedroom, not forgetting to help close the door before leaving.

Reiko Akita suddenly reacted.

"Wait a moment!"

The bedroom is soundproof. After closing the door, no matter how loud it is inside, people outside can only hear it faintly by sticking to the door panel.

So Reiko Akiba rushed out of the room in her pajamas with only a coat on and caught up with Serabelle who was changing her shoes at the entrance.

"Is there anything else?" Serabel raised her head and asked after bending down.

"that is……"

She spoke haltingly.

"You're coming to the concert tomorrow?"

"I will come."

The boy's matter-of-fact tone made Akiba Reiko feel relieved.

"That's good, I just want to confirm it."

"Well, it's nothing, I'll go back first."

"See you tomorrow……"

After a brief farewell, Serabelle opened the door and left, and quickly closed the door behind her to prevent the cold wind from outside from blowing in.

And Reiko Akiba stood behind the door just like that until the footsteps outside gradually faded away and disappeared completely. Then she moved her eyes away from the door and looked at the living room behind her where she had lived for many years.

It’s the first time I feel it’s so big and so empty.

Chapter 387 He has a fiancée? Miss Qiu Ting is shocked

Since the final exams of Teitan High School ended yesterday, Masumi Sera, who officially entered vacation mode, slept until eight o'clock the next morning before getting up.

When she came out of the room, Serabelle and Akai Mari were already sitting at the dining table in the living room eating breakfast.

"Good morning, mom, brother~"

Hearing the familiar voice coming from behind, Serabelle looked back out of habit, and then couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

"Zhenchun, what are you doing..."

Unlike every day when she would come out of her room drowsy in her pajamas and yawn, today, Sera Masumi had changed into clothes for going out before coming out of the bedroom.

She actually changed into a neat black suit today.

Although it is clearly distinguishable as a women's suit from the waist and trouser legs, once it is paired with the front air port that looks like a cliff, even a women's suit will be worn to look like a men's suit.

"How about it? It looks pretty good, doesn't it? It will definitely be okay to wear it to a concert, right?"

Noticing the gaze from the boy at the table, Sera Masumi proudly touched her hair with one hand and put the other hand on her waist, sticking out her chest and hips, trying hard to twist herself into a super S shape.

But the hard conditions do not allow it. No matter how hard I try, I can only make a 5 shape, without the horizontal line on top.

So Serabelle chose to remain silent.

Mary Akai closed her eyes, unable to bear the sight, and slightly held her forehead with her hand, letting out a sigh like an old mother.

"Okay, Makoto, go wash up quickly, and come over for breakfast after you're done... And why do you have to change clothes now? What if you accidentally get them dirty while eating?"

"Hey, I'll be there soon. As for clothes, I'll take off my coat when I eat, and I promise I won't get them dirty~"

The girl with tiger teeth said this in a brisk tone, turned around, took two steps at a time, and skipped into the bathroom in her slippers.

Soon, after breakfast, Serabelle went out with Sera Masumi.

After all, although the official performance is not until the afternoon, there is a rehearsal in the morning, so we have to go there early.

So time passed quickly and it was nine o'clock in the morning.

When Serabelle and Sera Masumi arrived at the square in front of the opera house again, except for Professor Agasa and the three little ones, the rest of the people, including Kogoro Mouri, Ran, Sonoko, Conan, and others had already arrived early.

Of course, also present was Mrs. Suzuki, who was absent from the previous rehearsal.

"Really? Why are you guys so late? We've been waiting here for a while..."

Kogoro Mouri was a chatterbox and couldn't help nagging when he saw the brother and sister were a little late.

Serabelle didn't start gesticulating with him just because of these two sentences, but she glanced with a puzzled look at the Suzuki Group staff who were busy opening the door of the opera house not far away.

Logically speaking, what does it mean to wait for them... The opera house has just opened for business. The opening time will not change whether they arrive or not. So what difference does it make if they come a little earlier?

Don't we have to wait in the square over here as well?

Besides, he was late too.

However, there is no point in arguing on such a topic, and Serabelle was too lazy to say anything more.

Suzuki Tomoko had the same idea. When she saw the former arrive, she smiled and nodded, then looked around at everyone and said.

"Since everyone is here and the time is right, let's go in."

There's nothing much to say, just go in first.

Since they had been here before, they were familiar with the place this time. They quickly passed through the front hall and entered the performance hall.

They were the first group of people to arrive at the performance hall today. When they pushed open the heavy soundproof door, they looked around and saw that there was no one in the huge banquet hall.

Mrs. Suzuki took the lead and walked in front, making arrangements without looking back.
