Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

On the night they returned from their outing, Sirin began to subtly hint at her intentions to Kiana.

For example, deliberately lingering in front of Kiana, complaining about viewers who wanted her to go find Nangong Yu, and also saying things like, "I'm a girl, how can I ask her out alone?"

But for Kiana, this was practically a direct hint.

It's just that I'm too shy to tell Ayu, it's not a big deal.

Seeing Sirin approaching again, Kiana finally couldn't help but say to her, "Alright, alright, you just want to ask Ayu to play together, okay? I'll help you, alright?"

We've been sisters for over ten years, why are you pretending with her like this!

"I, I didn't mean that. It's just that the viewers in the live stream kept urging me. I actually don't care."

With a wave of her hand, Xilin feigned nonchalance to conceal her rapidly beating heart.

"Really? In that case, I won't say anything more."

Xilin paused for a moment, then immediately became anxious: "No way! I've already bragged to everyone in the live stream, Kiana, you don't want me to lose face, do you?"

No, I really hope so.

After silently making a complaint, and with Kiana's repeated assurances, Sirin finally decided to return to her room, completely satisfied.

However, when she turned her head, Kiana was taken aback by the undisguised joy she showed, and then slowly raised her eyebrows.

This isn't right, is Celine a little too happy?

Something's not right, not even 90% right.

Watching Sirin leave, even jumping up and down happily, Kiana pondered for a moment, frowned, and dialed Mei's number.

"Mei! Mei!! Something terrible has happened!!!"

"what happened?"

Mei, who had just finished showering and was stretching her body on the bed, responded with some confusion.

Do you remember what I told you that night at the beginning of this year?

"At the beginning of the year... did Sirin have someone she liked?"

"Yup!"

Upon hearing this, Mei breathed a sigh of relief, then rolled over and said with a smile, "Isn't that a good thing? What, are you worried about the other party's character?"

Her family has some influence here, so they could lend a hand if needed.

"No, that's not it. If it were someone else, it would definitely be a good thing..."

Kiana said with a bitter face.

"acquaintance?"

"Although it's not entirely certain yet, but..."

Taking a deep breath, Kiana lowered her voice and said, "It's very likely Ayu."

"......"

Mei stopped talking; she opened her mouth but lay silently on the bed.

It's Ah Yu...

Putting everything else aside, this is indeed a very good candidate, but...

After a while, Mei finally spoke up: "So what do you plan to do?"

"Are you planning to just go and ask?"

Scratching her head, Kiana's voice sounded worried: "I don't know, I'm not completely sure yet, but Sirin just asked me to ask Ayu to go out with me, and I feel like I should do something..."

Why did it have to be Ah Yu? This is so worrying...

The two girls, who had absolutely no experience in dating, talked for a long time, but in the end, they still couldn't come up with a definite and feasible solution.

Finally, Mei tentatively suggested, "How about we talk to your mother about it?"

"This won't do!!!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Kiana refused, saying, "If she finds out, Sirin will probably never talk to me again."

But if we could really talk to Cecilia's mother, she's so gentle and knowledgeable, she could definitely give us some great advice.

"Then you can just not say Sirin's name."

Mei's voice slowly rang in Kiana's ears. She was stunned for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yeah, how come I didn't think of that? I'll just tell Mom it was my friend's thing, she was a huge help, Mei!!"

"No, I was just offering some suggestions within my ability, but please don't..."

"Thank you, Mei! I'm going to find my mom now!!"

beep...

"Don't let your mother think that your friend is just a cover..."

Mei fell silent again as she looked at the disconnected call.

She immediately called back, but after waiting for a long time, the call didn't go through. She looked up at the stars through the window and a sense of worry crept into her heart.

That should be fine, right?

......

After hanging up the phone, Kiana jumped out of bed, leaving her phone on the bed, and shuffled out of her bedroom in her slippers towards her parents' bedroom.

Since her father wasn't home today, she didn't need to worry too much and simply knocked on the door before going in.

"mom!"

"Ok?"

The bedroom was softly lit and brightly lit. Cecilia, exuding a mature charm, was sitting on the bed reading a book. Hearing the sound, she looked up at the door and smiled gently when she saw that it was her daughter.

Kiana, what brings you here so late?

"Can't you come if there's nothing wrong?"

Kiana casually pulled the door open and ran over, lay down on the bed, hugged her mother's waist, and snuggled against her mother's chest affectionately.

"Of course! I'd be so happy to be pampered like this by my favorite daughter!"

"Mom~"

Cecilia placed the book she was holding on a bookmark to the side, then gently stroked Kiana's little head, her gaze softening as she looked at Kiana's almost identical little face, which was full of affection.

After removing the two silly braids, Kiana's appearance is arguably the most similar to hers.

After cuddling and playing around for a while, Kiana finally blushed a little and got down to business.

"Um, Mom, there's something I don't quite understand, and I wanted to ask you about it."

Upon hearing this, Cecilia blinked, her heart leaping with joy.

Is this... this... is this the legendary life-affirming conversation between parents and children?!

So exciting!!

Taking a deep breath, Cecilia immediately became serious: "Yes, Kiana, you go ahead."

"That's right, that's right, it wasn't me first, it was a friend of mine!"

"Hmm, your friend, and then?"

Cecilia simply smiled gently, offering no rebuttal.

“My friend has been having some troubles lately and wanted to ask me for advice, but I didn’t know how to say it, so she came to my mom.”

"Ah."

Seeing her mother's still gentle demeanor, Kiana breathed a sigh of relief, feeling reassured: "My friend has recently fallen for someone."

Boom!

The door suddenly creaked open, and the two of them looked over, but the room was empty.

Kiana frowned slightly, but didn't seem to care, and continued, "If it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad, but the person she likes is a bit unusual."

Cecilia's eyes lit up just now.

So it's about being in love? Oh dear, Kiana's gotten to that age too~

I really don't know which lucky kid it was~

"Special? Is it because of your identity?"

Cecilia suppressed her excitement and spoke slowly.

"It's not about my status, it's just... it's just..."

Kiana paused for a moment, then said shyly, "That person actually has a lover."

"...?"

Cecilia was about to offer encouragement, saying that relationships require competition, when Kiana added, "Besides, his lover is also our good friend."

"..."

Cecilia remained silent.

Chapter 124 Xilin: ?

Cecilia.exe is not responding.

The sheer volume of information overloaded her CPU, leaving her staring blankly at Kiana for a long time without uttering a sound. It wasn't until Kiana called out to her in confusion that she successfully rebooted, her smile immediately becoming strained.

She looked at Kiana, wanting to confirm again: "Kiana, you mean, your 'friend' has fallen for another friend's boyfriend?"

Kiana nodded after reviewing the logical relationships.

"..."

Isn't this just stealing someone's partner?!

If it were anyone else, Cecilia would have given them a stern reprimand, but the person in question was her favorite daughter.
