Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

"Well, we're back!"

Luo Tian easily grabbed the two sisters' hands and pulled them into the living room.

As August approaches, the temperature outside is getting hotter and hotter.

He started sweating a little after just a short while after getting off the bus.

Ran and Sonoko, who were behind them, hurriedly followed and closed the door.

Let's talk about this once we're inside!

……

"Alright! Next up is the photo showcase!"

After taking a quick shower to shake off the fatigue from the journey, Yuanzi connected her phone to the large TV in the living room, looking like a teacher about to start a class.

While playing at the beach, they video chatted with their families every day.

But there are some things I deliberately didn't mention, just to give my best friends a surprise!

"I feel like the garden has become even more mischievous after we've been away for a week."

Akemi hugged the little boy for the first time in a long time, feeling his familiar warmth, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Yeah! I think so too!"

Xiao Lan nodded in agreement.

She's seen quite a few different sides of her best friend this week!

It's all about racing cars and electric shocks, and it also has the trait of never being able to catch a fish!

Even when we played games together at night, she secretly dressed up as a female secret agent!

Even though Tomoko ended up taking that outfit and wearing it!

After spending two days at the seaside villa, Tomoko got back to work.

Ayako also temporarily left after returning to Tokyo.

Despite the summer vacation, as a graduate student, she didn't have much free time.

With research to do, academic conferences to attend, and papers to write, finding a week to spare is already the limit!

She studies so hard so that she can better help her mother manage the Suzuki Foundation.

In comparison, the garden seemed much more relaxed!

"This is the cherry blossom grove we visited on our first day! It's amazing that the cherry blossoms there are still in full bloom in July!"

The first thing she showed us was the off-season cherry blossom forest in the Kanagawa Mountains.

Then came scenes from the Izu beach!

From the villa to the beach, and even photos taken while diving, each picture captures a wonderful moment from the week.

Besides the beautiful scenery, the two sisters were most interested in the people in the photos.

The initial photos only showed Luo Tian and the girls.

But later on, the figures of the three sisters from the next life appeared.

"Who are they?"

Akemi stopped the photo display and asked curiously.

"Hmph! They'll be our new sisters in the future!"

Sonoko squinted and, once again displaying her storytelling talent, recounted what happened after Luo Tian saved Lai Sheng Tong.

Although they only spent two days together, their relationship progressed rapidly during those two days!

In particular, Sonoko and Kisugi Ai, two like-minded best friends, have become inseparable confidantes!

Sometimes even Xiaolan couldn't help but feel a little jealous!

When they parted, they even made a promise to go to Cat's Eye Cafe again next time!

Since we all live in Tokyo, even if we're not in the same area, the distance between us won't be too far.

"A new sister? Is that so?"

Ai Haibara is well aware of Sonoko's talent for embellishing stories.

She didn't believe it immediately, but instead asked Xiaolan for confirmation.

That's about right.

Xiaolan tilted her head, thought for a while, and then gave an affirmative answer.

My best friend exaggerated a lot in what she said, but it was mostly true.

Especially when she was separated from the Lai Sheng sisters, she could clearly feel that the three sisters' eyes were all focused on Luo Tian.

Those reluctant eyes were practically dripping with tears!

She definitely wouldn't believe it if you said there was nothing going on!

"Oh, I see."

Nodding, Ai turned her gaze to the other side.

Mingmei smiled and lowered her head, looking at Luo Tian who was leaning against her chest.

"Don't look at me, I didn't do anything!"

Luo Tian yawned nonchalantly, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.

He was telling the absolute truth!

He hasn't even spoken to the three kittens in the past two days, let alone done anything else with them!

He spent most of his time with Tomoko and Ayako.

Knowing that the two of them would be very busy, Luo Tian made sure they consumed most of the spoils so they would have more energy and mental strength.

"hehe"

The two sisters neither confirmed nor denied the statement, but simply smiled faintly.

In other respects, they have always had unwavering trust in their boyfriends.

But when it comes to the new sisters, they only trust their own intuition!

Now, their intuition tells them that these three sisters in the photo will definitely join this family in the future!

Having prepared themselves mentally, they weren't too surprised when they later learned that the three Kiyosaki sisters were Cat's Eye Phantom Thieves.

Until the very last photo appeared!

"Vermouth! How do you know that woman?!"

Ai jumped up from the sofa, a rare look of panic showing on her cute face.

Having spent so long in the Black Organization, she knew this Thousand-Faced Witch all too well!

Chapter 354 Comforting Ai, Akemi couldn't hold back anymore (Second Update)

　"Huh? Ai, you know Vermouth too?"

Sonoko was a little confused when her best friend suddenly got excited.

Because Vermouth didn't go on vacation with them, she only stayed one night before leaving.

So she only had time to take one group photo.

She numbered all the other photos by the names of the scenery, but this one wasn't; it appeared at the end of the album.

"Of course we know each other!"

Ai sat back on the sofa, almost gritting her teeth as she squeezed out a few words.

In fact, she didn't have much interaction with Vermouth.

While she was with the Black Organization, she spent most of her time in the laboratory.

Vermouth, on the other hand, was always out on missions.

Logically speaking, even if they met, there shouldn't be any conflict.

But Ai could clearly remember that in their few meetings, the woman seemed to harbor immense hatred towards her.

Coupled with the rumors about the Thousand-Faced Witch she heard from other members of the organization, she gradually came to regard Vermouth as a terrifying being.

"Sonoko, have you forgotten? Ai and Akemi both escaped from that organization."

Xiaolan shook her head, walked to the TV, and unplugged the data cable.

The photo on the screen disappeared instantly, replaced by a midday news program.

"Yes!"

Reminded of this, Sonoko blinked and remembered the matter.

After spending a lot of time together, she forgot that her best friend had such a tragic past, and felt as if they had always been together!

"I'm sorry, Ai, Akemi-nee!"

She lowered her head, looking guilty, as if afraid of touching on the sisters' painful memories.

"It's alright, that's all in the past."

Mingmei smiled slightly and hugged her younger sister into her arms as well.

As an external intelligence agent for the Black Organization, she was unaware of her sister's entanglement with Vermouth.

This is the only way to comfort them!

"Sonoko, bring me your phone."

Luo Tian looked at the little girl that Mingmei had placed in his arms and gently stroked her cheek.

Then he gestured towards the garden.

……

It was noon, and Mingmei and Xiaolan were preparing lunch together in the kitchen.

Sonoko took the initiative to pack her luggage.

For a moment, only the little boy and the little girl were left huddled together in the living room.

"Honey, you don't need to comfort me, I'm fine."

Ai is outstanding in both IQ and EQ.

She immediately guessed that her boyfriend was trying to comfort her, and that her best friends had deliberately left her some space.

She didn't want to cause so much trouble for the people around her because of her own issues.

"Let's put that aside for now, take a closer look at this photo."

Luo Tian turned on his phone and held the screen up in front of the little girl.

He was naturally aware of the feud between Vermouth and the Miyano family.

To be precise, this grudge is not fixed on any one person.

What that woman hated was the drug developed by the Black Organization!

Centered on this, she also came to hate the person in charge of the research!

First the Miyano couple, then Shiho Miyano.

To some extent, Vermouth became a traitor because she hated the organization that researched the drug!

Therefore, resolving the conflict between the two is quite simple.

All we need to do is find a way to take down the Black Organization!

"This is……"

Looking at the photo that had reappeared in front of her, Ai's petite body involuntarily shrank into her boyfriend's arms.

When she was in the Black Organization, the person she feared most was definitely Gin.

But ever since Gin's speech and Aunt Gin's speech appeared, she has gradually lost her fear of Gin.
