Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Don't call my name!"

He was interrupted by Ellie as soon as he opened his mouth. She smiled brightly, hugged his neck excitedly, and said, "You have to call me Princess!"

"Okay, Sister Aili, I understand."

"Ayu!!"

Ignoring the protests of the large princess in his arms, who was swinging her legs up and down, Nangong Yu carried Sister Aili back to the bedroom on the second floor.

Kiana went over to help tidy up when the others returned, and Mei finally had time to go back to her bedroom. Although she hadn't been there before, her bedroom had always been reserved for her.

Watching the Knight carry Alicia upstairs, Gretchen blinked with a hint of envy.

Since Mr. Knight can't carry two people, then...

She turned her gaze to Grandma Mebius beside her.

After a long day of wandering around, Mebius was exhausted and returned looking like a listless, limp snake.

Procurement for such a high-intensity activity was still too difficult for her.

"Grandma Mebius?"

She tugged at her clothes and said expectantly.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Gretchen?"

Mebius had just hung his coat on the hanger and was about to go back to his room to rest when he heard Gretchen's voice.

"that......"

Pointing to the two figures who hadn't completely disappeared from the second floor, he said, "A princess carry..."

Seeing this, Mebius glanced at the pink pig upstairs, then at Gretchen beside him who was looking on expectantly, and nodded after thinking for a moment: "Alright, but be careful."

"Okay, Möbius milk...milk?"

Before Gretchen could finish her words of surprise, she felt a pair of soft arms wrap around her neck. Then, Möbius naturally bent down and leaned into her arms, yawning lazily as he said, "Didn't you want to try a princess carry? Go ahead and try. I'm not too heavy; you should be able to carry me."

Greta: "?"

What she wanted to experience was being hugged!

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but looking at Grandma Mebius's weary appearance in her arms, she ultimately didn't utter a single word.

After a moment of silence, she reached out, bent down, and with a forceful groan, picked up Mebius.

The unexpected gravity instantly turned Greta's face bright red, her delicate arms trembled, and her two little feet took tiny steps, inching along an irregular arc towards the bedroom on the first floor.

Indeed, she shouldn't have had any expectations of Grandma Mebius.

At dinner, Seele, Kaguya, and Mei prepared a very lavish feast, filling the new large dining table in the restaurant to the brim. The dazzling array of dishes made everyone's mouths water just by looking at them.

This meal served as a housewarming party for the family and also as a welcome party for Mei's return.

No one seemed too surprised by Mei's return; it was as if it were the natural thing in the world, which quickly put Mei, who was feeling a little nervous, at ease.

Eden brought out his collection of fine wines, and everyone ate and drank merrily until late into the night.

"Is everything settled?"

Bronya helped the slightly drunk Nangong Yu back to the bedroom, helped him take off his clothes, and then took him to soak in the bathroom bathtub in the bedroom. She held him and asked him questions.

His head rested on the softness of her chest; although he was a little dazed from the alcohol, he was still in good spirits.

He couldn't help but nuzzle against her before finally replying, "Yeah, Mei should be fine now."

"Did you contact Cocolia's mother?"

"Ah."

Nangong Yu rolled over, turning face down.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you helped her so much, is Mei so moved she's practically crying tears of joy, and is she planning to repay you with her body right here and now?"

Bronya patted Yu's head and made a joke with a smile.

But to everyone's surprise, Nangong Yu suddenly fell silent.

This silence made Bronya feel increasingly uneasy, and her eyes gradually widened.

Bronya's hand, which had been stroking his head, paused. She stared at him wide-eyed and asked in surprise, "Really?"

Nangong Yu closed her eyes.

"Hey, stop pretending to be drunk with your eyes closed, get up!!"

Click.

Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Seele walked in, her hair tied up, humming a song.

Then, the questioning voices became two, one in front and one behind, and Nangong Yu could only raise her hands in surrender.

On the other side, in Mei's bedroom.

The room was only given a basic renovation, but it didn't feel very lived in yet. Mei still had many of her things at home, and she would have to find a way to get them back later.

So much happened today that Mei couldn't sleep, especially in the afternoon.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she could almost recall the burning heat, the firm body, the close touch of their warmth, and the lips that were about to touch.

Her body curled up slightly, and her thighs couldn't help but rub together gently.

"rain......"

She knew perfectly well that her feelings today might be a momentary impulse, but she didn't regret it.

Having spent so much time together, we already had a good relationship, and today's events have taken that relationship to a whole new level.

No one in the family, except her, could understand how devastated she felt, as if the sky had fallen, or how intensely warm the rain that pulled her out of that abyss had been.

For Mei, this debt of gratitude was something she could never repay, even if she gave herself away.

Recalling his appearance, Mei's face flushed even more, and her fingers, as if guided by instinct, slowly moved downwards...

Boom!

The bedroom door was suddenly turned open, startling Mei so much that she tensed up and almost screamed.

Thinking about those fingers that were almost touching the door, I couldn't help but blush and feel my heart pound.

"Mea Yi~"

Kiana's familiar voice rang in her ears, and she quietly slipped into her blankets, then a small white head popped out beside her.

Why aren't you asleep so late?

Trying to calm her racing heart, Mei said softly.

"I want to talk to you, Mei~"

Having calmed down, Mei finally turned around to look at Kiana.

For some reason, when she looked into Kiana's eyes, she sensed a hint of hesitation.

Silence filled the room. After a while, Kiana finally spoke: "Has Mei considered the future?"

"after?"

Mei thought for a moment and said, "I guess I'll continue working as my assistant general manager in Gensokyo and watch it grow into the world's number one game company."

With a light laugh, she spoke of her vision for the future, but Kiana shook her head: "With Ayu here, it's definitely achievable, isn't it? I mean, Mei, your future, your... for example, um, um, marriage or something..."

"marry......"

Mei's heart skipped a beat; she thought Kiana had discovered something, and she was incredibly nervous.

But to everyone's surprise, Kiana raised her head and said in a soft, gentle voice, "If you haven't decided yet, Mei, what do you think of Yu?"

Chapter 276 Visiting the New Company

The house was quiet and deserted after breakfast, and instead seemed a little... eerie?

The house was almost ready, and we all agreed to go to the new company together today. After lunch, we changed our clothes and met in the living room. But when we got there...

"The collar is a bit messy here; it would be better if it were neater."

"The hem of your clothes doesn't look quite right... Never mind, I'll just tidy it up a bit first, and I'll iron it for you tonight."

"Let me check the temperature today... Hmm... the thickness should be fine, I can take off my coat once we get inside."

While looking Nangong Yu up and down, Mei reached out and tidied herself up, muttering to herself all the while.

"Um, I don't think it's necessary to take this so seriously..."

Noticing the resentful look in Xi'er's eyes behind him, Nangong Yu chuckled dryly and said.

"That won't do. You represent the face of Gensokyo, so your appearance naturally needs to be carefully considered."

Mei smiled, her tone quite gentle.

Her body was very close, so close that Nangong Yu could easily smell the sweet fragrance.

After yesterday, Nangong Yu had a feeling that Mei would take the initiative, but this was going too far!

Finally, after getting him all tidy, Mei took two steps back, looked him up and down, and then slowly nodded: "That should be fine now."

"Ah, right."

As if she had thought of something, Mei's cheeks flushed, and she took two steps forward, tiptoeing lightly.

A warm, moist feeling spread across her cheeks. Before Nangong Yu could fully appreciate it, she saw Mei blush and step back, quickly walking to Kiana's side.

Seeing this, Bronya smacked her lips in annoyance and quickly tapped the ground with her toes, while Seele looked aggrieved. This was her job, how come it was suddenly taken away by Mei today?

Ellie was laughing happily, standing with Eden and whispering something to each other. Mebius, on the other hand, yawned, glanced at them lazily, and then ignored them. It was just a primal urge driven by hormones; she had no interest in such things.

Greta stared blankly, while Kaguya smiled without saying anything.

Only Sirin, who knew nothing, stared in shock at the scene, completely unaware of what was happening.

What the heck? When did Mei and Ayu get together? Did she travel through time in her sleep?

Kiana, however, opened her mouth as Mei walked back, her face full of confusion.
