I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

Seemingly feeling pain, the girl, still asleep under the covers, let out a low groan, causing An Shu's body to stiffen immediately.

"..."

After a moment of stunned silence, An Shu finally felt a little relieved when she realized the girl hadn't woken up, but her hand immediately left its original position.

He began to move carefully, trying to get away from under the girl.

It's just dawn now. Although the girls in the family don't get up that early in winter, we still need to prepare in advance.

What if it's too late and you get caught on the spot? How do you explain that?

I don't know how to use a hatchet, but I'm sure I'll get teased for a while!

Little Rem would definitely not do that, but given the personalities of the other three, they would absolutely use this as a threat to get her to do whatever she wanted from time to time!

An Shu wanted to sigh again.

The heating had been turned off long ago because of the timer, so the morning temperature was still a bit cold and dry. An Shu moved, causing some cold air to get into the blankets, which made his body numb for a moment.

Subconsciously, An Shu wanted to shrink deeper into the blankets, but she knew she couldn't.

The girl only twitched slightly, still asleep; the slight chill from before had no effect on waking her.

"Sleeping so soundly, really...aren't you afraid I'm a bad guy?" An Shu complained helplessly, but also made things convenient for him.

He continued to move his body until he was halfway up, then slowly pushed the girl back inside. After watching her fall onto the soft sofa, he immediately crawled under the covers.

It's the same morning and evening, you still have to get used to air conditioning.

Wearing only a thin bathrobe, An Shu hugged herself and was about to turn on the heater when the girl behind her made a sound.

"Mmm..." The girl uttered two sounds, as if talking in her sleep.

The sofa still had the warmth of An Shu lying on it, so there wasn't much difference in the temperature beneath her.

Only its head was sticking out; its ears were a little cold.

In her drowsy state, the girl curled up under the covers, her slender legs completely pulled together, her hands folded in front of her head, and her eyes still closed.

Just like a cat, gentle and obedient.

Girls are definitely cutest when they're asleep, and my girls are no exception...

An Shu sighed inwardly, tucked the blanket around her, and sat on the edge of the sofa. He then reached out and patted his almost stiff cheeks.

"I'm still a little sleepy..." He looked at the clock on the wall.

I remember the last time I looked at the time before going to sleep was 3:27, and it's only 4:36 now. That's about an hour of sleep, which is hardly enough to guarantee any quality sleep!

"Let's go upstairs and take a nap, and let Rem come down and work a little harder..."

……

"...Hmm"

Feeling that the sleeping space was getting smaller and smaller, the little maid woke up after trying to push the door open several times without success.

"Eh"

It was my older sister who kept squeezing in!

Wait, wasn't she sleeping next to An Tong yesterday? Why is she here?

Rem rubbed her eyes, feeling a little strange, but didn't think much of it. Maybe she just slept next to him because she went to the bathroom at night.

But... where did the master go?

She rose gently, now squeezed between the little girl and her own sister, and had to move very quietly so as not to wake them.

Rem climbed over her sleeping older sister and sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs as she searched for her slippers.

She didn't care much about the temperature difference in winter; after five years, she had long since gotten used to it in order to do her job as a maid well.

"Did our master go out to play yesterday and not come back?"

She tilted her head and looked several times to make sure her owner wasn't hiding under the covers.

"Could it be that Sister Miori went off to 'hang out' as she was talking about?" She couldn't help but think of the strange things the little girl had instilled in her.

However, he then shook his head, "Hmm, no, no, Master isn't that kind of person."

"Never mind, Rem, you should go prepare breakfast first."

Since I'm already up, I can't go back to sleep. It's early now, but not too early. Maybe my owner is already up and waiting for me downstairs.

She shook her head slightly and changed herself into a maid's outfit.

Although her master kept emphasizing that she didn't need to wear a maid outfit after arriving, she still liked it this way, as did her older sister.

Facing the vanity mirror in the corner, she fastened her hair clips and put on her hair ornaments, preparing to go downstairs to wash up.

Although the upstairs bathroom is also usable, toiletries are usually kept downstairs.

It's a new day again!

Hmph~ Hmph~

She hummed a little tune, completely satisfied with her life, except for not having taken the final step with her master! So, she was generally in a good mood every day!

She gently closed the wooden door to the room, held onto the stair railing, and walked slowly, trying not to make too much noise with the shoes she had just changed into.

And just as she had guessed, her master did indeed return, and he got up very early.

Having reached the first floor, she spotted An Shu sitting on the sofa.

But she didn't say hello.

Because the situation before her was far beyond her expectations!

On the sofa, the person still wrapped in the blanket... the owner was wearing a bathrobe, his clothes disheveled...

There's a strange woman here!!

"Kick-"

In an instant, she clenched her teeth! Several scenarios flashed through her mind in a split second!

A philandering fox!

A strange woman still awake in bed, the sofa in disarray, the owner sitting next to her with disheveled clothes, so early in the morning... needless to say!

She gritted her teeth again, making a grinding sound, and clenched her fists.

She confirmed that the person on the sofa was a girl, because the girl's squinting eyes met her gaze just now!

The feelings between girls are very obvious!

Clearly...clearly...five years! Yet another woman beat me to it!

An Shu, who was lost in thought, also heard the noise, looked over, and was a little surprised to find her.

Rem's pretty face froze at that moment.

It wasn't because of the air conditioning; it was simply that this semi-darkened side of An Shu was suddenly revealed before him, and he didn't have time to process it.

###Chapter 276 The Clash Ended Before It Even Began###

“Although Master just said you were asleep, our eyes met just now, didn’t they?”

Rem watched An Shu go upstairs, and even waited for two more minutes before turning around to look at the person on the sofa.

Normally, she can stay calm, but right now, she really can't!

Because the first thing she saw when she went downstairs was the clothes rack in front of the radiator, and the clothes on it were all close-fitting!

She always takes everyone's laundry to the attic to dry. She washed the clothes and took them up there before going to bed yesterday!

There are only two possibilities for the clothes worn before the heating was turned on!

It either belongs to her or to her master!

The owner would naturally not wear skirts, stockings, or women's underwear...

It seems like it would look good on the owner too...

She hesitated for a moment, then quickly snapped out of her reverie.

Those clothes could only have belonged to the girl on the sofa!

She changed her clothes. The owner hadn't gone upstairs to sleep; he was disheveled and looked listless so early in the morning. The girl hid under the covers, her eyes filled with shyness...

In an instant, she imagined several different scenarios with similar outcomes!

That's why girls' imaginations are always terrifying!

Of course, that's not the point right now!

The point is... how outrageous! A philanderer!

Hmm, I think I just called someone a fox, huh! Whatever!

Rem panicked a little. Had their master grown tired of them? Hmm, what a terrible thought!

She couldn't help but recall that just before An Shu went upstairs, he had only patted her head and told her to take care of the girl on the sofa before leaving.

They've even stopped giving basic good morning kisses!

Hmm! And they didn't even tell her why the girl appeared, or her name! She didn't dare ask...

That's outrageous!

Okay, actually it was a misunderstanding.

The good morning kiss was because An Shu hadn't brushed her teeth yet. The reason for not explaining was that An Shu was struggling downstairs for a long time about whether to go up and ask her to come down, which made her eyelids droop even more. She was too lazy to explain and wanted to wait until she had rested or the girl woke up so they could talk to each other on their own.

After all, they're neighbors; they'll get to know each other sooner or later.

Then the little maid misunderstood.

"..."

Knowing she couldn't hide her sleep any longer, the girl propped herself up and sat up. The other person's powerful aura made her a little scared, so she pulled the blanket up a bit.

"I am Rem, what's your name?"

She should introduce herself before asking someone's name, even if she is very angry, she should remain calm and not embarrass her owner.
