Xia Ye gently pinched her smooth and soft cheek, feigning anger, and said, "You treat me like an outsider, don't you!"
"I don't!"
Xiao Ai lifted her head from Xia Ye's arms and gave him a speechless eye roll. Although she knew he was just trying to make her happy, how could she doubt that she treated him like an outsider!
"That's good~"
Xia Ye smiled slightly and stroked her soft, brown short hair. "Let's look at the photo album together!"
"That's right, Shiho!"
Akemi, who hadn't interrupted her sister and Natsume's conversation, pushed the photo album that everyone had been looking at earlier in front of her sister.
“You haven’t looked at these photo albums in a long time, let’s look at them together.”
"it is good!"
Ai leaned down in Xia Ye's arms and looked at the photo album, which, although somewhat old, was well-preserved and had not been damaged at all.
Everything in the photo album was actually unfamiliar to her, including her parents' faces.
After all, the laboratory had an accident not long after she was born, and a fire took everything away, so she had no memory of her parents.
However, seeing those two figures in the photo still filled her heart with warmth. Although she wasn't familiar with them, they were, after all, her loving parents, and their blood flowed in her veins!
"Zhibao, look how naughty you were when you were little! You would cry as soon as I hugged you, and eventually I would cry too!"
Akemi pointed to a photograph with a smile in her eyes.
In the photo, she, only six or seven years old, is carefully holding her baby sister in her arms, but the little one doesn't appreciate it and keeps crying loudly, making her anxious and bringing tears to her eyes as well.
Beside them, a slender, elegant blonde woman in a white lab coat spoke to the two sisters with a gentle smile, seemingly trying to soothe their emotions.
It's a very warm and happy scene.
"Sis, I didn't even remember that time!"
Ai blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed by her sister's teasing in front of her boyfriend.
"I didn't say anything~"
While trying to cheer up her younger sister, Mingmei continued flipping through the photo album. When she saw a certain photo, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had thought of something, and she subconsciously glanced at Xia Ye.
"So beautiful!"
Yukiko looked at the photo album and sighed.
Xia Ye looked in the direction of the sound.
That was a solo photo of Elena Miyano.
She was still wearing a white lab coat, her long, light blonde hair cascading over her shoulders, and purple-rimmed glasses. Her lips were slightly pursed as she looked at the camera with a faint smile.
Sunlight streamed down from the sky, making her look like an angel who had just descended to earth.
"She's really beautiful~" Xia Ye praised with a smile, "She has both Ai's cool and calm demeanor and Akemi's gentle kindness. She truly deserves to be your mother!"
"of course!"
Ai looked very proud.
Xia Ye's praise of her mother made her feel proud.
"It's a pity, Mom is very shy, this is her only solo photo~" Mingmei sighed, but then looked at Xia Ye with her beautiful eyes and asked casually, "Xia Ye, let me ask you, from a man's point of view, do you like my mother's type of beauty?"
Ai: ? ? ?
Yukiko:! ! !
What the hell is this problem?
Xia Ye was also taken aback by Mingmei's question. This was her mother-in-law, and a mother-in-law in two ways at that. How could I, as a man, possibly see it?
A girlfriend asks her boyfriend if he likes her mother from a man's perspective—that's like a scene from an adult anime!
And among the three women.
A group chat was created instantly.
Ai: Sis? What's going on?
Yukiko: Yeah, Akemi, why are you asking this kind of question? Do you have something on your mind?
Mingmei: Have you two both forgotten how the system we analyzed selects log holders?
Ai: Sis, you mean!?
Yukiko: Is that even possible!?
Akemi: I think the system selects the log holder based on the female character that Natsume likes. If Natsume likes the character of his mother, maybe his mother will also have a log. In that case, with the system's capabilities, it's not impossible for us to meet his mother!
Ai: But if Mom is still alive, why doesn't she come looking for us? I'm under the control of the organization, but you, sister, have it much easier...
Akemi: I don't know either. Actually, I'm not even sure about what I just said. I just wanted to try it out.
Yukiko: I think Akemi is right, there's no harm in giving it a try!
Ai: That's true, I wish it were really like what my sister said!
The three girls looked at each other in front of the sofa. Xia Ye thought that Ai and Yukiko were startled by Akemi's question and was about to speak when she saw Akemi look up at her and continue to ask, "What's wrong, Xia Ye? You haven't answered my question yet!"
"Ahem, that's right!"
Xiao Ai coughed lightly, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"I'm also curious about that?"
"what?"
Natsume looked at Yukiko again. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes clearly conveyed the same meaning as Akemi and Ai!
Are you trying to play a trick on me?
"oops!"
Yukiko, too lazy to beat around the bush anymore, pointed at the photo of Miyano Elena and said reproachfully:
"Xia Ye, why are you being so fussy? Miss Elena is so beautiful. We're just curious if you like her type of beauty. What's so hard about that!"
"Really?"
Natsume looked at Ai and Akemi.
The two nodded vigorously, indicating that what Yukiko said was true!
"Okay~"
Although she still felt something was off, she knew that even if Ai and the others played a prank, they wouldn't go too far, so Natsume chose to answer the question:
"like!"
"How much do you like it?"
Ai pressed further, "Do you like it?"
"......"
What kind of weird question is this?!
Xia Ye was somewhat speechless.
However, after a moment's hesitation, he answered honestly:
"I really like it..."
"That--"
This time it was Akemi's turn.
She searched her memory and asked:
"Compared to Yoko Okino?"
Which one do you prefer?
"???"
Why are the questions getting stranger and stranger?
What does this have to do with Yoko Okino?
Xia Ye suspected that Mingmei and Xiao Ai might have been traumatized by suddenly seeing their mother's photo, which was why they asked such strange questions.
"Say it!"
Mingmei grabbed Xia Ye's arm and started to whine sweetly.
hiss--!
Something's definitely not right!
Akemi was indeed very close to her, and it was common for her to put her arm around his waist, lean on his shoulder, or rest her head on his lap. However, before she shrunk, she was a mature and composed woman, and she couldn't easily act coquettishly like Yukiko...
But now——
Well, it seems she really was traumatized.
Xia Ye looked at Mingmei's light blue eyes with pity, and said seriously, "Compared to Okino Yoko, from a man's point of view, the two are about equal. That's all I can say!"
Yoko Okino is youthful and beautiful, with the added bonus of her 700-point appearance; Elena Miyano is gentle and quiet, also with the added bonus of being a villain. But how could I tell Ai and Akemi such specific reasons?
I can't just tell them.
Maybe it's because she has a daughter that I like her even more?
"Is that so?"
Although Akemi felt a little annoyed by Natsume's pitying gaze, she was secretly happy to have gotten the answer she wanted and chatted with her sister and Yukiko in the group chat.
Akemi: Did you hear that?
Ai: Yeah, although we don't know if our guess is right, at least there's some hope now~
Yukiko: It's good that there's hope. Let's just wait and see!
Xiao Ai, Mingmei: Yeah!
"Are you done asking?"
Seeing them start exchanging glances again, Xia Ye was pretty sure they were playing a prank.
"Then do whatever you want!"
"what?"
The three women exchanged glances. What were they going to do?
"Ha~"
Yukiko yawned, lazily stretching her waist, revealing her beautiful and voluptuous curves.
"I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to bed now!"
"and many more!"
Seeing her walk naturally towards the second floor of the villa, Xia Ye quickly took her hand.
Aren't you going home?
"Yes!"
Yukiko said matter-of-factly:
"I've already told Ai and Akemi that we'll be sleeping together tonight! Right, Ai?"
"Yes~"
Although her older sister only let Yukiko stay overnight and didn't say they would sleep together, Ai really wants to chat with her older sister and Yukiko tonight.
"Okay~" The three of them are on very good terms now, and it's normal for them to sleep together.
"I'll go back and tidy up my room first."
Mingmei also got up and walked towards the second floor.
"What about you?"
