Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Please, have mercy!"

"Oh dear, it feels like it's been so long since I've heard anyone call me 'Aili-neechan' (older sister Aili). If only a boy could call me 'Aili-neechan' in the voice I used to have when I was little, that would be wonderful! I'm so looking forward to it!"

Should I shout in my old tone?

Isn't this making him imitate a young boy's tone? How embarrassing!

So, Nangong Yu coughed twice to clear her throat and said in a slightly strained voice, "Sister Alicia~"

Ha, what does losing face matter for the sake of a game? After it's all over, he's still a true hero.

Ellie glanced furtively at Eden across the street, turned down the volume on her phone, pointed the speaker at her somewhat pointed ear, and then opened the voice message.

"Sister Alicia~"

Although there were still some minor flaws, when that crisp voice, unique to the little boy, came out from the loudspeaker, Eden saw Ellie tremble all over, then a strange blush appeared on her face, and even her breathing became a little rapid.

Her expression was full of a strange smile, and she kept tapping the voice message with her finger, causing Eden to put down his wine glass and frown slightly.

I have this feeling that my best friend has suddenly gone awry.

Two minutes later, Ellie suddenly came to her senses, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, and quickly started typing.

"Yes, Sister Ellie is very satisfied. Send me the sheet music, and I'll do my best to help you finish it~"

After finishing typing, Ellie looked up at Eden, who for some reason seemed to suddenly dislike her. She frowned slightly but didn't think much of it. She quickly asked, "My dear Eden, may I use your recording studio and piano later?"

"Hmm? Are you going to play a piece?"

Upon hearing about a familiar place, Eden's eyes lit up, and he said with some anticipation.

"Hmm, but this is something Ayu asked me to help with. His game has a piano soundtrack that only I can play. Oh dear, Ayu really can't do without me~"

Ignoring the second half of Ellie's sentence, Eden smiled, stood up, and walked gracefully toward the villa.

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

"Yay! Eden is definitely the best!"

He rushed over and hugged Eden's arm, and the two laughed and joked as they returned to their room together.

Chapter Ten: Bronya's Hands Are Itching

"Phew, I'm so sleepy. Seele, let me lean against you for a bit~"

On the way to school in the early morning, Nangong Yu yawned and pressed his weight of more than 70 kilograms onto Xier's small shoulders. Despite her slender shoulders, they didn't sway at all when Nangong Yu pressed them down, and she continued to walk forward steadily.

"Brother, I've already told you not to stay up late."

Looking at her brother's tired expression, Seele's eyes held a hint of heartache and dissatisfaction.

"Ah, well, I did some market research last night, so I went to bed a little late."

He wrapped his arms around Seele's neck, brought his nose close to the tip of Seele's hair, and closed his eyes to gently inhale the fresh scent of the girl mixed with shampoo.

His drooping hand was gently grasped by Seele's soft little hand, and her warm breath brushed against Seele's earlobe, making her face flush slightly.

"Don't make staying up all night playing games sound so righteous!"

Compared to Nangong Yu, Bronya looks radiant now.

Her efforts over the past two months have helped her shake off her slump. Not only has her confidence returned, but her spirits have also improved significantly, and her face is now rosy and radiant.

Looking at the scene before her, she frowned slightly, reached out and gently tugged at Seele's shoulder, pulling her to her side: "Walk properly, don't bully Seele."

However, before Nangong Yu could reply, Bronya was somewhat taken aback to see Seele looking back at her with a slightly displeased look in her eyes, as if to say, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

A thought flashed through her mind, and Bronya instantly understood the key point, leaving her with a speechless expression.

With his arm hanging down, a faint resentment gathered in his palm, and then he slapped Seele's buttocks hard.

A crisp sound rang out on the street, accompanied by the girl's exclamation.

"Sister Bronya..."

Seele wanted to scold her loudly, but when she saw Bronya's indifferent eyes, her courage instantly shrank back, and she became timid, only able to mutter a pitiful sentence in a low voice.

Seeing Seele back down, Bronya gave a soft snort, then glanced at Nangong Yu with a hint of pity in her eyes.

Some people always thought they were the hunters, and that the other side was just a cute little white rabbit that they could slaughter at will. However, Bronya knew that some people's overstepping of boundaries had unknowingly opened Pandora's box.

The hunter and the prey have quietly switched places.

Nangong Yu, on the other hand, closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Based on his years of experience, if he is not involved in the conflict between two girls, he should not rashly step in, otherwise he will most likely be the one who gets hurt in the end.

The journey they had shared was only a short one, and soon it was time to part ways. Nangong Yu could only reluctantly let go of the sweet and soft Xi'er.

"Don't look, everyone is gone."

Seele kept turning back and walked very slowly, so much so that Bronya had to stop and wait for her.

"Huh? Well, I didn't really look. Xi'er was just a little worried about whether her brother would encounter any danger on his way to school..."

Well, that flimsy excuse was clearly thoughtless. After saying it, Seele turned her head away, somewhat embarrassed.

Bronya glanced helplessly at her sister, who was beyond saving, and sighed, "Instead of worrying about him being in danger, you should think about what you would do if a beautiful girl stole his heart."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bronya felt a pair of bouncy spheres hit her in front of her, and then she saw Seele approaching her nervously.

Will my brother be taken away?

A thin mist welled up in her large, sky-blue eyes, filled with worry, and her pretty, adorable face was also etched with tension.

"No, I'm just kidding."

Bronya raised her hand and pinched Seele's chubby little face, saying with a bit of a laugh, "Silly girl, have some confidence in yourself. Look at that guy, has he ever cared about any other girl besides you?"

Seele couldn't break free from Bronya's clutches and said in a somewhat muffled voice, "Sister Bronya, you..."

"..."

Snapped.

Seele got another slap on the bottom.

......

Two days later, Nangong Yu received a message from the music studio and a reply from Alicia almost simultaneously.

"The music production is complete, and the files have been sent to your email address."

The studio's tone was naturally businesslike, while Ellie's reply was quite playful.

"Hehe, this is my masterpiece! I even had Eden's dedicated team do the post-production. Come listen to it!"

Along with the message came a complete set of audio files.

After enduring until school was over, Nangong Yu couldn't wait to rush home. She didn't even bother to greet Xi'er, who was standing at the door in an apron. She gave Xi'er a quick kiss on the cheek and then ran straight back to the studio, leaving Xi'er blushing and confused at the door.

The media player opens.

Original soundtrack, start!

As soon as it began, a clear, melodious piano tune filled the air. He slowly closed his eyes, immersing himself in the beautiful music.

Soon, the song ended, and Nangong Yu opened her eyes, her eyes filled with excitement.

Regarding the music, he could only say it was good, excellent, and completely exceeded his expectations.

As expected of Ellie, and as expected of Eden's professional team, they elevated the emotional impact of the entire song to a whole new level.

He couldn't even imagine how many tissues this game would use with this music.

Next, he listened to the rest of the music, and almost every piece met his requirements. At this point, he had finally collected the last piece of the puzzle.

With that in mind, he immediately got to work. He was determined to see the finished product born tonight!

The clock hands went round and round until the bright moon hung high in the sky and the Milky Way filled the heavens. Only then did Nangong Yu stop and stretch out in a long yawn.

He was still in a state of high excitement, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face as he looked at the game interface on the computer.

His first game in the true sense of the word in this world is finally complete at this moment!

A glance out of the corner of my eye at the windowsill told me, without needing to check the time, that the inky darkness of the night was enough to tell me how deep it was.

The relaxation after a long period of concentration caused all the fatigue in my body to burst forth at once, especially my stomach, which hadn't eaten dinner and was now rumbling with dissatisfaction.

I'm so tired and hungry.

Hunger drove him to go downstairs to find something to eat.

Why didn't Seele call me for dinner today? Or did she call me but I didn't hear her?

With his mind racing, he quickly went down the stairs. Before he had even taken two steps toward the kitchen, he could smell the faint aroma of food.

"Ok?"

Turning around following the smell, I noticed a complete dinner on the table: rice, two plates of stir-fried dishes, and a bowl of soup. It was a simple yet plentiful meal, but it looked like the dinner had gotten quite cold.

Taking another step forward, he suddenly spotted a little dumpling curled up on the sofa.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Seele lying there, curled up and asleep.

If you then connect this to the food on the table, everything seems to make perfect sense.

Seele must have been waiting for me all along.

Chapter Eleven: What Boomerang?

Having understood this, Nangong Yu felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

Is there anything more joyful than discovering, after all the hard work, that your loved one is quietly waiting for you?

He found a thin blanket and gently covered Seele, who was only wearing her pajamas.

Summer is approaching and the weather is gradually getting warmer, but it's still good to keep warm at night.

Up close, I saw Seele's sleeping face. Her two little hands were crossed and folded in front of her chest. Her cute face had her nose moving gently with her breathing, and her pale red, moist lips were also opening and closing slightly. I could vaguely see two rows of white teeth and her pink tongue lying there quietly.

It must taste delicious.

Of course, Nangong Yu was referring to dinner.
