Yulia followed closely behind Miko, carefully avoiding Tomie's gaze as she occasionally pounded on the sofa. She presented the gift in her hands to Kiyotsuki and stammered nervously.

"These are cookies I made myself. They don't look very appealing... but please, please accept them!"

Qingyue accepted the gift box, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Please have a seat, I'll make some tea."

Seeing that Zi was much more composed than Yulia, after all, it wasn't her first time here. After handing the gift to Qingyue, she sat properly on the sofa.

Yulia sat down next to her and asked in a low voice, "Have you been to your senior's house before?"

"Yes, I've been here once," Miko replied softly.

"So... do you know what the relationship is between those two seniors and Shinheng seniors?"

Yulia's gaze cautiously swept over Kiyotsuki, who was making tea in the kitchen, and Tomie, who was still sulking on the other side of the sofa.

After thinking for a moment, Miko leaned close to Yulia's ear and said, "These two seniors are Shingen-senpai's shikigami."

Yulia's eyes lit up, and she nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing her expression, Jianzi's heart skipped a beat. The last time she had that expression was when she was summoning ghosts in the equipment room. He quickly went over and warned her.

"You better not do anything reckless. Let me tell you, the Tomie-senpai on the sofa is an immortal woman who has lived for over a hundred years, and the Kiyotsuki-senpai washing dishes in the kitchen is the legendary Kuchisake-onna."

Upon hearing the words "Slit-Mouthed Woman," Yulia was immediately horrified and gasped. So, the monsters in urban legends really exist!

Although Yulia didn't know what an immortal woman was, nor had she heard of the legend of Tomie, she certainly knew about the Slit-Mouthed Woman, a famous urban legend throughout Japan!

The seemingly gentle Kiyotsuki-senpai is actually the legendary Kuchisake-onna, and both Tomie-senpai and Kuchisake-onna are that senpai's shikigami.

Doesn't that mean that the senior Tomie on the sofa is almost as strong as the Slit-Mouthed Woman?

Indeed, one cannot judge a book by its cover, nor can one measure the depths of the sea.

Yulia immediately suppressed her previous curious expression, sat up straight, and cast a respectful glance toward the sofa.

Tomie:?

At this moment, Qingyue came over with a tea tray and gently placed two cups of steaming green tea on the tea table.

"Please have some tea and let me see you."

Qingyue spoke to Jianzi first, then looked at the little brat with pigtails and asked.

"And this young lady, please have some tea as well."

"My name is Yulia Nibutō. You can just call me Yulia, seniors." Yulia stood up abruptly and respectfully accepted the teacup with both hands.

"Yulia, what a lovely name," Qingyue praised, then comforted the two, "Don't be too nervous. Although this house doesn't seem quite normal, guests are guests, and no one will hurt you."

"Senior, saying that only makes us more afraid!" the two roared inwardly.

"Senior Kiyotsuki, Senior Shingen, when will you be back?" Miko Yotsuya asked, seizing the opportunity.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

At that moment, Xin Hengyuan also came in carrying a steaming hot breakfast.

"I come back."

After changing into slippers in the entryway, Xin Hengyuan noticed two extra pairs of shoes on the floor and knew that guests had arrived.

"Who's here? Oh, it's Miko, and that little fool too."

Yulia Nibutō blushed instantly, tears welling up in her peculiar black-red eyes as she spoke in a pitiful tone.

"I know I was wrong... I won't do it again, please don't scold me anymore, please don't scold me anymore..."

"Yuan-kun!" Shin Heng Qingyue poked her head out from the kitchen, her tone reproachful.

"Okay, that's all."

Shin Hengyuan placed the breakfast bag on the table and tilted his head slightly at the two of them, including Miko.

"Let's eat first. Jianzi, Yulia, you two should eat some too. Qingyue made some porridge this morning, and I brought back some steamed buns and fried dough sticks. That should be enough."

"Okay." Seeing that this wasn't Qingyue's first time here, she walked into the kitchen as if she knew the way well, rolled up her sleeves, and helped Qingyue serve the porridge.

Yuria Nibutō looked at Miko with a face full of surprise. "We're not sisters, how come you're so skilled?"

Wait for me, Zi!

Yulia quickly followed to help, clumsily taking the bowl from Qingyue and almost dropping it into the porridge pot.

"What's wrong with Tomie? Who upset her?" Shin Hengyuan looked at Tomie on the sofa and asked Kiyotsuki.

"It's nothing, I'm just sulking," Qingyue explained with a smile.

Xin Hengyuan got up and walked to the sofa, bent down, and ruffled her hair: "Hey, what are you doing here? Let's go eat."

"Hmph!" Tomie snorted coldly, turned her head angrily, and used her head to push away Shin Hengyuan's hand.

"Do you think you can calm me down by rubbing me? You did such a terrible thing to me last night!"

"Last night?" The three of them perked up their ears warily.

"I was here first, I was here first in everything... You won't let me go out, and you bring other women home every day. I was here first, and you still did such terrible things to me..."

Tomie grew angrier the more she thought about it, and grabbed a cushion to throw at Shin Hengyuan, but Shin Hengyuan easily caught it and put it back on the sofa armrest.

The "white scholars" have reappeared.

Oh, I see, Tomie is jealous.

Tomie felt threatened because she hadn't discussed the contract signing with her beforehand, and then two high school girls showed up this morning.

This is commonly referred to as "cat's hiss".

Xin Hengyuan didn't care at all about the pillow she threw at him, and put his hand back on her head, gently rubbing it.

It feels so good. Tomie's hair is exceptionally smooth and has a faint, pleasant fragrance.

"What are you doing!"

Tomie was furious.

Tomie rushed over.

Tomie fell.

Looking at Tomie, whom he had subdued with one hand, Shingen retorted speechlessly, "I can control your body at any time, so what's the point of you attacking me?"

"Aaaaaah! I don't care! I protest! You're abusing a pet!" Tomie kicked her legs in anger.

Well, so they admit they're pets.

"Alright, stop fooling around," Xin Hengyuan said soothingly. "I'm going out today, can you come with me?"

"Deal!" Tomie's expression changed swiftly, and she agreed with unusual decisiveness.

Tomie had wanted to go out for a long time, but Kiyotsuki was watching her every day, so she had no chance. Being cooped up in this room all day, Tomie felt like she was going to grow mushrooms.

Tomie nimbly slipped under Shin Hengyuan's arm, walked to the dining table, grabbed a steamed bun and put it in her mouth, then picked up a bowl of porridge, sat down on the edge of the table, and began to eat the bun while drinking the porridge, her movements fluid and graceful.

Xinhengyuan: ...

The three people: ...

Xin Hengyuan silently withdrew his hand, which hadn't yet come down, glanced at her, and decided not to argue with her.

Now that things have come to this, let's eat first.

"Ugly freak! Shut up, shut up! Put that meat bun down right now, it's mine!"

"don't want!"

"Jianzi, could you get me a fried dough stick? Thank you."

"Okay, senior, here you go."
