"What are you going out for!"

Kasugano Sora, hands on her hips, questioned him, her petite frame radiating an imposing aura.

Upon hearing this, Lai shrank back in fright and whispered, "I'm going out to take care of something. It'll be quick, no more than two hours."

As she spoke, she stretched out two long, slender, jade-like fingers and gestured.

Snapped--

Kasugano Sora slapped it away without hesitation, then her bright brown eyes welled up with tears as she shouted:

"You're always 'getting things done' and 'working hours,' do you even know that you almost died in the hospital last night during those three hours?!"

"You have no idea how much it hurt me to see you lying in the hospital bed last night! At that moment, I thought you were going to be separated from me forever!"

"I'm terrified that when you leave the house, you'll come back to find a cold, lifeless corpse!"

"Why can't you understand me?!"

"Waaaaah..."

As she spoke, large tears streamed down her face.

"Qiong, I..."

Lai looked flustered and his hands went erratically, raising and lowering them repeatedly, unsure how to comfort him.

Little Kiroli turned her gaze at the sound, her sapphire almond eyes reproachfully fixed on Lai's back.

Putting aside any feuds between cats, it's on the side of the crazy girl this time.

After all, the owner did something wrong. Last night, when the cat and the crazy girl heard that the owner had been shot, they felt like the sky had fallen.

They were only gone for three hours, and what came back was not a person, but the devastating news that they had been shot.

"Waaaaah..."

Seeing Qiong sobbing uncontrollably, Lai felt guilty and heartbroken. He pulled her onto his lap, then gently wiped away her tears with his thumbs, saying softly:

"It's my fault. I won't go out tomorrow; I'll stay home and keep you company, okay?"

"Waaaaah, this is bad!"

Kasugano Sora shook her head, sobbing.

Lai blinked, seemingly not quite understanding, her expression one of utter bewilderment.

Does this head shaking mean he agrees to let me go out, or he doesn't?

Just as he was completely bewildered.

Kasugano Sora secretly glanced at him, taking in his expression, and the corners of her mouth subtly turned up.

Then, choking back tears, she explained, "Waaah, it's not that I don't want you to go out, it's that I'm afraid you'll run into some reckless thugs again."

"If something happens to you, what will happen to me and little Kirari, with our tiny arms and short legs? Waaaaah..."

Upon hearing this, Lai vaguely sensed something strange about the words, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

It's as if I'm Sun Wukong in Buddha's hands, completely controlled.

But thinking about it carefully, Qiong probably wouldn't be that manipulative; it's probably just my imagination.

After all, Qiong is so gentle and considerate, how could she possibly be a scheming green tea?

So he said to himself, "Okay, it's my fault. I made you and Xiao Qiluoli worry. I won't go out tomorrow. Even if I have something important to do, I will cancel it for you."

Kasugano Sora's dark eyes flashed with a hint of triumph, but it vanished in the blink of an eye. She feigned remorse and said:

"No, you can't. After all, you are the pillar of the family. If you have to turn down important work matters for the sake of our family, I will feel deeply guilty."

Hearing this, Lai felt a warmth spread through her heart, and gently raised her hand to stroke her ponytail, saying softly, "It's not about work, it's about going to..."

As he was speaking, he sensed something was wrong and quickly stopped, glancing cautiously at Kasugano Sora.

Kasugano Sora furrowed her delicate eyebrows almost imperceptibly, then wiped away her tears and said magnanimously, "What's wrong? Is it about work? If so, I won't stop you."

After saying that, she clung to his broad chest as if she were a clingy person.

Lai didn't rush to respond, but instead put his arm around her waist and inhaled her fragrance.

From a distance where she couldn't see, her melancholy eyes gradually deepened and became shrewd as she thought, "What method should I use to fool Sora? After all, I can't tell her about going to Hyakkaou Academy."

"At least we can't say it now. If we do, Qiong will definitely be furious."

"So, a solution, a solution..."

Unseen by him, Kasugano Sora smiled, secretly pleased with herself.

She executed this tactic of feigning indifference perfectly.

First: Lai wouldn't think she was being willful or throwing a tantrum; instead, she would think she was afraid of something like what happened last night happening again.

Second: Show him your magnanimity and prove that you are both virtuous and considerate of the bigger picture.

While she was secretly rejoicing, Lai had already come up with a plan.

That's called borrowing someone else's name, commonly known as dragging someone down with you.

He wanted to carry the calamus on his back and borrow her name.

then.

Lai composed himself and said wistfully, "Alas, Qiong, actually, I'm not going out tomorrow for work, but for Changpu, whom I haven't seen for seven or eight years."

Insect girl calamus?

Kasugano Sora's lips tightened, her anger rising little by little, but she could still hold back.

"Himuro-neechan?"

Her eyes were red and swollen as she looked at Lai with a mixture of confusion and bewilderment. "Does this have anything to do with Himuro-neechan? You're not kidding me, are you?"

"I'm not kidding you. Why would I kid you? Have I ever kidded you?"

Lai responded with an unchanged expression, his handsome face revealing innocence.

Kasugano Sora nodded in agreement.

Lai never lied to himself; he was always honest and straightforward, without any ulterior motives.

On the contrary, I've been the one being suspicious and paranoid...

Seeing her nod, Lai knew the plan was 50% successful, so he continued:

"Haven't we seen Ayame for seven or eight years? Now that we've met again in Tokyo, shouldn't I prepare a gift for her?"

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Sora's face flashed with unease, and she said with a forced smile, "I don't think that's necessary. Isn't preparing a gift a bit too extravagant?"

“We’ve known each other since we were kids, so preparing a gift for each other would seem too formal.”

"Besides, Himuro-nee knows about your background. If you bring her a gift, she might not accept it, so it's better to forget about it."

"Qiong, you can't think like that."

Lai shook his head, his face serious, and said, "Just because we've known each other since we were little, this gift is a must when we meet. It's basic etiquette!"

"We can't assume that just because Changpu is our childhood sweetheart, we shouldn't make any preparations. That would break her heart."

"But....."

"No buts!"

Kasugano Sora was about to argue when Rai raised her hand to stop her, and said earnestly:

"Qiong, this is basic etiquette when meeting friends. If you were going to work and needed to visit a senior colleague, wouldn't you prepare a gift for the visit?"

"Forehead....."

Kasugano Sora was at a loss for words and felt increasingly anxious.

If she had known it would be like this, she shouldn't have pressed the issue so relentlessly; she should have known when to stop.

Now it's even worse, it's hard to dismount from a horse!

Seeing that Qiong was speechless, Lai was overjoyed. She had originally planned not to go out tomorrow because of her self-blame.

But now, the opportunity is right in front of us. All we have to do is take the last step, and going out tomorrow will be a breeze!

P.S.: I'm definitely not good at intrigue and scheming; I tried my best to describe it. In the meantime, please give the author a few shout-outs for their support...

Chapter 233 System Changes

Seeing her speak vaguely and incoherently, Lai knew that an opportunity was right in front of her.

then.

He embraced her slender waist, resting his chin on her unremarkable cleavage.

Then, she gently bit her thin lips, tilted her head back, and her deep, melancholy eyes softened with tenderness.

Kasugano Sora looked up, her eyes gradually becoming misty, and all her anxiety vanished.

The eyes before me, filled with the vastness of the stars, are beyond description with the most beautiful words in the world.

Coupled with his devastatingly handsome face, one's heart would be unable to refuse him, as if rejecting him would incur severe punishment from heaven.

Gradually, Kasugano Sora's gaze became hazy, her cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but slowly lower her head, moving it towards his sexy thin lips.

Seeing her petal-like cherry lips approaching, Lai's expression froze. She thought to herself, "Wait a minute, all I did was put on a pitiful look, so why does Qiong seem to have entered that state after seeing it..."

But in any case, this situation is moving closer to the solution he wants.

Before his cherry lips could even get close, Lai forcefully picked her up and carried her towards the guest room on the first floor, meeting her coy and hesitant gaze.

crunch--

Once the door closed, the lively living room was left with only little Kiroli, who looked utterly resentful.

"Meow....."

After a long silence, Xiao Qiluoli sullenly pressed the remote control and turned up the TV volume, trying to drown out the groans.

Afterwards, each lost in their own thoughts, they lay on the sofa, watching soap operas absentmindedly.

......

The next day, at 10 a.m.
