"This is way too exaggerated..."

As Yuanzi walked to the school gate and checked the trending topics on her phone, she was stunned. "Aunt Yukiko's ad is actually dominating the trending topics?"

Hearing Sonoko's exclamation, Ran curiously leaned over to look, her eyes quickly scanning the phone screen: "Fujimine Yukiko's comeback, Nan'en Dumpling Shop, who is the mysterious handsome guy... all of these are trending!"

Hongye followed quietly behind them. Hearing their conversation, she slowly took out her phone from her bag, glanced at it, and gave an elegant smile: "After all, she was once an international film queen."

She gave Yuzuru a meaningful look. "But...mother and son?"

Yuzuru smiled without saying a word, when his phone suddenly vibrated—it was a message from Yukiko: [You naughty little brother! I'm trending! Look at the comments! Everyone's praising how young I look!]

Yu Sheng Nan looked at her phone screen, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with doting affection. She quickly replied: 【Congratulations! Your older sister is still very popular~】

Just after I sent it, my phone vibrated again. Another message from Yukiko popped up: [Some people are saying we're in a noona romance~ Should we 'try out' the spokesperson beforehand? (?′?`?)]

The message ended with a playful emoji.

Yuzuru: "..."

As expected of Yukiko!

But thinking about it carefully, it's actually a pretty good idea. Others try out chocolate dumplings, but he goes straight to the stomach, letting the spokesperson "try" them out too.

...

Hanyu House.

Yuzuru and Ran walked to the front of the villa, chatting and laughing.

As they approached, the security gate seemed to sense the return of its owners, opening slowly and automatically with a soft "humming" sound.

As the two entered the courtyard, the fresh fragrance of flowers and the air purified by the spring greeted them, making them feel relaxed and refreshed.

"We're back."

Hearing the noise, Akemi came out of the living room with a smile and took the schoolbag from Yuzuru with both hands. "Welcome home, Yuzuru-sama, Ran."

As soon as he entered the living room, Yu Shengnan lazily lay down on the sofa, sinking into the soft cushions. He looked around and, noticing there wasn't a cute little girl to hold, he felt something was missing.

"Has Ai not come back yet?"

"She's probably out there with her friends dealing with a case," Akemi replied, putting her schoolbag away.

Now, she has gotten used to the three little ones' magical ability to encounter cases wherever they go.

In fact, these young children have encountered more deaths than she has in all her years of working in the organization.

If I told people about this experience, probably no one would believe it.

As she spoke, Akemi walked lightly into the kitchen.

A moment later, she came out carrying an exquisite tray, on which were placed the pastries she had carefully prepared that afternoon and a pot of tea that had already cooled.

"Hmm, it tastes good. Mingmei's cooking skills have improved again."

Yuzuru picked up a cookie, took a bite, and praised it.

Although the food produced by the Gourmet Cell Baking Machine only increases mood, the improvement in taste is truly remarkable. The current taste is almost comparable to the cookies made by Natsumi Kosaka.

Hearing the praise, Akemi smiled and said, "I'm glad that Young Master Yuzuru likes it."

Just then, Xiaolan returned from playing with Bobo and Yingying in the yard. She ran over happily, picked up a cookie, put it in her mouth, and then eagerly pulled Mingmei into the kitchen.

"Mingmei, I've learned another dessert recipe. Let's try it out!"

“Okay~” Akemi replied gently, letting Ran pull her into the kitchen.

As soon as Xiaolan entered the kitchen, she was full of energy, like an artist about to begin creating.

She tied on an apron and rummaged through the kitchen for ingredients, saying as she searched, "Mingmei, I learned how to make French crepes on TV yesterday. I want to try adding matcha and red beans!"

Akemi smiled gently and helped her tie up her long hair: "Ran has been very interested in desserts lately."

"Because..." Xiaolan smiled shyly, "Nan said last time she liked the strawberry daifuku I made..."

Outside the kitchen, Yuzuru lay lazily on the sofa, faintly hearing his name coming from inside. A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips. He picked up his phone and saw that Yukiko had sent him several more messages:

Why isn't my little brother replying? Is he shy? (〃?〃)

Want to come backstage before opening? We'll give you "special service"!

Clicking on the picture, Nanami Hanyu almost choked on his tea—the photo showed Yukiko wearing a chef's uniform from an advertisement, but the top two buttons of her collar were undone, revealing her fair skin and adding a touch of sexiness. She was holding a chocolate dumpling, her red lips slightly parted as if about to take a bite...

"This woman..." Yuzuru shook his head with amusement, quickly replying: [Are you a spokesperson or the top hostess at a nightclub?]

Yukiko replied instantly: 【Of course it's the top-tier escort just for you~ (*′艹`*)】

Just as Yu Sheng Nan was about to tease his older sister, the system's crisp notification suddenly rang in his ears without warning: "Ding, an item around the host has been randomly enhanced. Please select the direction of enhancement."

"Um?"

Yuzuru subconsciously shifted his gaze from the phone screen to the system panel.

[Random Item: A jewelry box from a drawer in the host's villa bedroom.]

Enhancement Direction 1: The "Storage Treasure Box" from another world. The storage treasure box will automatically refresh every day at midnight. After opening it, a rare treasure will randomly appear.

(Sorry, I'm not interested in money.)

This option consumes 1 point of spiritual energy.

"You're right, I'm really not interested in money."

Yuzuru Hanyu chimed in with a sarcastic remark.

Unless it's a treasure from a cultivation world that can enhance cultivation and possess magical effects, this type of item, in its pure form, gold and silver, doesn't really hold any appeal for him right now.

Enhancement Direction Two: A "Memory Box" from another world, capable of storing and materializing the holder's most precious memory fragments, making those memories readily accessible. Each opening allows one to relive a beautiful moment.

(A must-have for nostalgic people)

This option consumes 5 points of spiritual energy.

"This one is not bad..."

Yuzuru looked thoughtfully at option two.

It would be a great choice to store memories of Ran's first encounter, Yukiko's pranks, and Ai's tsundere moments, so you can open the box anytime in your free time to relive those wonderful times.

I just don't know how this materialization works.

Enhancement Option 3: Improved Version – A "Yokai Treasure Box" invented in the 22nd century, capable of summoning and controlling traditional Japanese yokai. The strength of the summoned yokai is proportional to the collected fear points; initially, only low-level yokai can be summoned. (Can be used for a lottery by consuming spiritual energy)

This option consumes 10 points of spiritual energy.
