The white jade-like beauty is as holy as snow, and like a snow lotus blooming alone in the mountains.

The originally bustling airport seemed like a desolate wilderness under her background, and the silence and emptiness were overwhelming.

Even the usually gentle Shiina Mahiru was a little stunned when she first saw the girl in front of her.

"it's me."

The cold girl listened to Shiina Mahiru's stunned words without saying anything more. She just nodded slightly and said.

"But……"

I looked down at the ethereal little girl on my phone, and then looked at the ethereal Shiina Mashiro in front of me, who was as ethereal as an iceberg snow lotus...

It's hard to associate Shiina Mahiru with two different people.

Although she was already vaguely certain that the girl in front of her was the one she was waiting for, Shiina Mahiru, who was known for her gentleness and steadiness, still wanted to make sure.

She looked at the girl in front of her and smiled...

"Excuse me, please wait a moment."

She then hurriedly took her phone to another corner, looked at a long-forgotten number in her address book, took a deep breath, and called again.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

The phone was answered quickly after it rang once, which shows how much the man on the other end of the phone values ​​Shiina Mahiru.

Listening to that gentle and magnetic voice, Shiina Mahiru bit her red lips lightly, but still asked in a steady voice.

"I'm already at the airport, ready to pick up my cousin. I want to ask about that photo."

"Photo...Oh, you mean the photo I sent you. What's wrong?"

The man on the other end of the phone was confused at first, but soon he understood.

"I want to ask, when was the photo you sent me taken?"

Shiina Mahiru then asked.

"It seems that they sent it to me from Britain a few years ago. Let me think how many years ago was it? It seems to be seven or eight years ago..."

The man on the other end of the phone said after thinking for a long time.

"Now, your cousin should be about the same age as you."

"I understand……"

Shiina Mahiru breathed a sigh of relief and then prepared to turn off the phone.

"Mahiru..."

The man on the other end of the phone seemed to have guessed Shiina Mahiru's actions, and then spoke hurriedly.

"If you have time, you should hurry back. We all miss you."

"Are you sure she'll miss me?"

Listening to the man's words, Shiina Mahiru was a little moved at first, but then she asked through gritted teeth.

"This……"

The man couldn't help but fall into silence. Even he didn't know what his partner was thinking...

"Are you still short of money? If you are short of money, I still have..."

He was silent for a moment and then continued.

"I don't need your money. I can support myself by working."

Shiina Mahiru frowned as she listened to the man's clichéd remarks and quickly hung up the phone.

..........................

..........................

"Ugh..."

The man on the other end of the phone sighed helplessly.

"President, can we continue our meeting now?"

In the conference room, everyone else looked eagerly at the man sitting in the main seat in front of them and said.

"I'm sorry, I made a fool of myself in front of everyone."

The man in the suit stood up and bowed thirty degrees.

"You're welcome, President."

Everyone present stood up and bowed 90 degrees.

In island countries where the "bowing spirit" is highly valued, they must bow far more than their superiors.

But they were all secretly curious about the woman on the other end of the phone...

What kind of daughter is so favored? The unique phone rang for only one second and the man picked up it directly.

But due to the taboos in the island nation's workplace, they did not ask too many questions.

After all, they could hear a lot of things from the conversation just now, which showed that even among the upper echelons of the big families there were all kinds of secret struggles and turmoil.

"Then let us continue the meeting..."

Looking at the respectful people in front of him, the man temporarily suppressed the regret in his heart, and then he said with a serious expression.

"Yes."

Everyone present nodded in unison.

For a moment, it was as if nothing had happened.

........................

........................

"I've already asked you before, Shiina Mashiro, right? I'm your cousin Shiina Mahiru, and I'm here to pick you up."

Shiina Mahiru, with a gentle face, walked back, looked at the ethereal girl in front of her and said with a slight smile.

"Mahiru..."

Shiina Mashiro said stupidly.

Shiina Mahiru's eyes twitched. The rule of the island nation is that people who meet each other will respectfully address each other by their surnames. Only people with whom they are very close will be addressed by their first names...

Even Luo Zhen only called her Shiina when he first met her, but the girl in front of him actually called her Mahiru right from the start.

This surprised her.

"Perhaps it's because this girl grew up in Great Britain, so she's used to being called that abroad."

She comforted herself in her heart.

At this moment, this gentle girl has no idea what kind of troublesome cousin she will face.

"Mahiru."

Shiina Mashiro nodded at her and didn't say much.

"You've come all the way from Great Britain to this island country. Are you tired from the flight?"

Shiina Mahiru then asked with concern.

"nothing."

Shiina Mashiro shook her head blankly and said this with a blink of her eyes.

This sister... looks a little different.

Shiina Mahiru looked at the cute girl in front of her and raised her eyebrows slightly. She always felt that the girl in front of her seemed a little out of touch...

It's as if he is disconnected from this era and is floating outside the world.

But no matter what, she was her cousin, so she still asked with concern.

"Are you hungry? Do you need something to eat?"

“Not hungry…”

Shiina Mashiro touched her belly and shook her head.

"Brother Luo Zhen is a good man. He gave me a Baumkuchen to eat..."

She then turned to look at Luo Zhen who was standing next to her and said seriously.

"what???"

Shiina Mahiru's eyebrows twitched as he looked at Mashiro, who trusted Luo Zhen quite a bit.

The annual ring cake she bought with her own money ended up being used by Luo Zhen to gain his favor.

Luo Zhen winked at her, as if to say, 'See, I told you that Baumkuchen is still useful.'

Shiina Mahiru's mouth twitched, and she looked down at the toys and clothes she had bought in her hands. It seemed that the girl in front of her didn't need all of this.

On the contrary, the seemingly incompatible annual ring cake that Luo Zhen dropped became the key to victory.

She couldn't help feeling a little frustrated...

It seems that she is somewhat unqualified as a sister and cannot even perform the most basic task of taking care of others.

"Mahiru is a good person and a good sister."

However, a faint voice sounded, which immediately ignited the fire in her heart again.

Shiina Mahiru raised her head and saw Shiina Mashiro's cherry-colored eyes.

"Mashiro, you really understand people's hearts."

Shiina Mahiru said with a somewhat wry smile.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?"

Shiina Mashiro tilted her head, obviously confused.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. It's getting late, let's take Mashiro home first."

Looking down at his watch, Luo Zhen then said.

"Well, let's take a taxi, but..."

Shiina Mahiru was obviously a little embarrassed.

Looking at a girl who was short of money, Luo Zhen could only smile and shake his head.

"Let me pay for the taxi. After all, I can't watch you two enter such a crowded subway. I can't protect you both."

"In order to reduce the (cafe) crime rate in the Tokyo subway, please take a taxi with me."

"Come on, how can there be so many perverts in Tokyo nowadays?"

Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but retorted.

"Now the fighting style in Tokyo has escalated to men and women fighting each other. How many people are really willing to be perverts?"

"That's normal people. With people as beautiful as you, even I want to be a pervert."

Luo Zhen looked at the two girls in front of him who were more beautiful than flowers and teased with a smile.

"you..."

Listening to Luo Zhen's teasing, Shiina Mahiru seemed to recall the memories on the subway and her face flushed a little.

"Brother Luo Zhen is a good man."

Shiina Mashiro next to her said calmly, her nonchalant attitude formed a sharp contrast with that of a shy girl.

"Come on, Mashiro, let's go take the bus."

Shiina Mahiru looked helplessly at the girl next to her. For some reason, she always felt that her future was dark.
