Chihaya Aine felt her heart pounding, her cheeks burning, and her ears burning.

Idiot! She's given such an obvious hint.

You must like me too, right?

Don't be shy, come and confess your feelings to me!!!

Hehehe...!

Before anyone knew it, Chihaya Aine revealed a smile.

Suddenly, Bai Qiu's phone, which was charging on the table, vibrated several times.

The slight vibration shattered Chihaya Aine's reverie as she struggled with the name of her third child.

Chihaya Aine glanced at her sideways.

Bai Qiu's phone screen lit up, seemingly indicating that she had received a message on LINE.

So early, who could it be?

This time, she failed to defeat the monster within her called curiosity.

With her eyes darting around, Chihaya Aine stood up and her gaze fell on Shiraaki's phone.

The text message was sent by someone named Toyokawa Shoko.

Toyokawa Shoko: [Bai Qiu, I have a part-time job today, so I won't be able to go with you tonight.]

Shoko Toyokawa: [Please apologize to Akari and the others on my behalf, and keep going! I believe that Akari, now, can definitely sing what's in her heart!]

Shoko Toyokawa: [There's a bento box in the microwave's insulated container; remember to heat it up before eating.]

Finally, there's an emoji that can't be seen on the phone's lock screen.

Even if she couldn't see it, Chihaya Aine could imagine that it must be an incredibly cute emoji full of girlish coquettishness.

In an instant, panic, astonishment, confusion, resentment, and grievances filled Chihaya Aine's entire body from head to toe.

She was originally immersed in a wonderful and joyful mood, but now it was as if she had been ruthlessly pulled down by a giant hand, falling into a bottomless abyss.

This made her tremble slightly.

The off phone screen reflected Chihaya Aine's slightly pale face, frozen smile, tightly pursed lips, and dim gray eyes.

The information revealed in the text message made Chihaya Aine think of 'cohabitation', and only cohabitation could make sense.

To be honest, she still didn't know where Bai Qiu had moved to.

What is the relationship between Toyokawa Shoko and Qiuqiu?

Are they already... together?

One question after another troubled Chihaya Aine's mind.

She cares so much, she really cares a lot.

When Chihaya Aine looked at Shiraaki's angular face again, her eyes were no longer filled with tenderness, but with incredibly complex emotions.

At this moment, Bai Qiu, who was lying on the bed, frowned slightly.

Bai Qiu had a nightmare.

In his dream, he was trapped in a dark and cramped space.

He sat on a wooden bench, his upper body bare, his limbs restrained by chains several centimeters thick, unable to move.

Then came a series of women's faces, their features obscured, interrogating him relentlessly...

Bai Qiu found himself on the rooftop again, surrounded by those same faces he couldn't make out. Each of them held a sharp kitchen knife, the blades gleaming menacingly, chasing him like zombies...

"Ah! My clothes!"

The screams coming from the next room woke up Bai Qiu, and also woke up Chihaya Aine, who was staring blankly at Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, and gasped for breath, still shaken.

Bai Qiu turned her head and saw Ai Yin.

"Aine, what are you doing in my room?"

Chihaya Aine was also startled and quickly concealed her emotions, waving her delicate hands in a panic.

"Ah, that..."

"I came to wake you up." Chihaya Aine quickly offered an excuse after an awkward laugh.

Bai Qiu nodded slightly, without giving it much thought.

Would Aine really do something to him so early in the morning?

The key issue is that he himself is still somewhat immersed in that terrifying dream.

Don't worry about it; dreams and reality are always opposites, opposites, opposites...

Just then, a series of noisy sounds came from next door, breaking the silence.

Bai Qiu and Ai Yin exchanged a glance, their faces showing confusion.

It sounds like Su Shi's voice, but the tone seems a little different from usual.

Bai Qiu asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Chapter 179 Leaving

Chihaya Aine was equally puzzled. "Let's go take a look."

Back in Aiyin's room.

Nagasaki Motoyo looked at the three suspects in front of her with a serious expression and a hint of anger.

Tou Takamatsu, Kaname Rakuna, Shiina Riki.

Su Shi was holding her band uniform, which had been cut in half.

She worked so hard last night to make it, just so that Bai Qiu would be impressed today.

The result... the result turned out like this.

Su Shi was instantly furious.

Bai Qiu and Chihaya Aine entered the room and quickly understood the situation.

Although they were puzzled as to why Bai Qiu and Ai Yin suddenly appeared together, finding the culprit was more important right now.

Bai Qiuhua completed the intracranial reasoning in less than thirty seconds.

A large, semi-circular wooden door was pushed open.

there is only one truth.

That means Yoroi didn't take making the clothes seriously from beginning to end; she was just being lazy.

Bai Qiu turned to look at Yao Le Nai, who was about to retreat back onto the bed: "Le Nai, you should dare to admit your mistakes."

Yoro Nai trembled and turned around to look.

Nagasaki Motoyo's pupils focused, and her voice lost its restraint.

"Lena-chan!"

"Su Shi, that's scary..." Yao Le Nai quickly hid behind Bai Qiu.

Nagasaki Motoyo reached out, intending to pull Rakuna out and teach her a lesson.

“Qiu…” Yao Le Nai grabbed Bai Qiu’s clothes tightly and shouted, “No!”

Bai Qiu quickly pressed Su Shi's hand down, "Alright, alright, Su Shi, please forgive Le Nai this once?"

“But my clothes.” Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Bai Qiu with a pitiful expression.

Bai Qiu took the blue and white clothes and looked at them.

The clothes were cut in half fairly evenly, so they weren't unwearable.

"Su Shi, don't be angry. You look pretty good in this too, don't you?"

"Huh?" Nagasaki Motoyo paused, blinked, and asked, "Really?"

"Of course, you should dress like that."

As he spoke, Bai Qiu helped her drape the remaining half of the garment over her shoulders.

“Even if it’s only half, it’s still very unique and would suit Su Shi very well.”

"Really? Thanks."

Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but smile slightly, extending her arm in perfect cooperation, a smile playing on her lips.

Shiina Tatsuki pursed his lips upon seeing this.

“Le Nai also needs to apologize,” Bai Qiu added. “You can’t do that again next time.”

Yoro Nai breathed a sigh of relief and peeked out from behind Bai Qiu to look at Su Shi: "I'm sorry..."

Nagasaki Motoyo regained her gentle demeanor and smiled:

"Hmm~ I'll forgive Ryuna-chan this time. Next step, we can do this!"

When Bai Qiu saw that Li Xi was glaring at him, he also gave her a disgruntled look.

By the way, maybe Li Xi is the one who caused his nightmares.

Last night, Lixi tried to twist his body with his strong fingers.

Bai Qiu was not about to surrender; he used one hand to control Li Xi's two slender wrists.

But Lixi is no pushover either; she also has a perfect body and strong, powerful legs.

Bai Qiu underestimated her and was actually knocked down on the bed by her, which was also because he was afraid of hurting Li Xi.

In an attempt to break free from Li Xi's control, Bai Qiu accidentally touched a place she shouldn't have.

Bai Qiu's retort made Li Xi grit her teeth. Li Xi still felt a strange, tingling sensation coming from the spot behind her where Bai Qiu had patted her.

The two were silently arguing with each other through their eyes.

Fortunately, at that moment, Aine's mother, Aunt Chihaya, came to invite everyone down for breakfast.

Aiyin's mother came back in the morning. She was a warm-hearted mother with neat pink short hair and a kind face.

At the dining table, Shiina Tatsuki and Takamatsu Akari appeared somewhat reserved.

The others were fine, thankfully breakfast didn't last long.

As she was about to leave, Aunt Chihaya stopped Shiraaki, smiled at her with narrowed eyes, and said:

"Bai Qiujun, you moved away without saying a word, and you haven't even come back to visit us since."

Bai Qiu was a little embarrassed, "I will definitely come often in the future."

Aunt Chihaya nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at Aine, who was standing to the side in a daze, with a hint of doubt.

What's wrong with Ai-yin today?

Why have you become so quiet?

Is she too shy to speak up?

This child... No one knows a daughter better than her mother. After Aiyin returned from London, England, she kept mentioning Bai Qiu at home.

She quickly understood her daughter's thoughts, and even suspected that Ai Yin didn't want to study abroad because of Bai Qiu.

If it were a normal Chihaya Aine, she would have quickly realized that her mother was helping her out.

However, right now, all she can think about is what the relationship is between Bai Qiu and Feng Chuan Xiangzi.

"Auntie is always welcome. There's also a band at school, so please take care of Aiyin as well, Bai Qiujun."

“Aiyin takes good care of me too,” Bai Qiu replied with a smile, as she walked out the door.

"By the way, Auntie, what's that little door over there?" Bai Qiu pointed to a door in the yard. He had been curious about it since yesterday, but he forgot to ask Ai Yin.

"That's the entrance to the basement." Aunt Chihaya glanced sideways, as if she had just remembered something.

"It's what we use to store odds and ends. Oh, and there's some plum wine I made myself inside. You can come over and have some with us in a while."
