After changing into her nightgown, Xia Mei stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror—the silk fabric clung to her body curves, shimmering softly in the moonlight, and the neckline design subtly revealed her delicate collarbone, adding a touch of charm and sexiness to her.

"It should... be okay, right?"

The little princess blushed, her heart pounding. She nervously tidied her hair. In the mirror, her eyes revealed a mixture of shyness and determination, as if she were about to embark on an unknown adventure.

Then, she took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door.

The corridor was silent, with only moonlight streaming through the windows onto the floor. Xia Mei walked barefoot toward the direction she remembered—Yu Nan's bedroom.

With each step she took, she could feel her heart beating faster, but her eyes remained exceptionally firm.

—Tonight, she's going to make it a fait accompli!

.........

Meanwhile, in the next room.

Under the soft light, Ai sat quietly on the bed, a notebook open in front of her, filled with experimental data on the effects of the Gourmet Cell Baking Oven on making desserts that evening.

Suddenly, a soft footstep sound came from outside the door.

She pricked up her ears alertly—

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Light footsteps echoed in the corridor, and then... stopped in front of Yuzuru Nan's door.

"Could it be...?"

She quietly got out of bed and peeked through the crack in the door, just in time to see Natsumi Kosaka sneaking off to Kusunoki Hanyu's room.

Ai: "......"

She silently closed the door, walked back to the bed with a blank expression, picked up a pillow and covered her face, muttering to herself, "...That woman, she's too bold."

The sound came through the pillow and sounded somewhat muffled.

but......

She turned her head and looked at the "breast enhancement puff" food container on the bedside table. Her gaze lingered on the container for a few seconds, as if she were weighing something.

Finally, she sighed softly, as if she had made a decision.

"...Never mind, for the sake of these snacks."

She muttered to herself, turned over, buried her face in the blanket, and decided to pretend she knew nothing.

Akemi, who was also preparing to rest in her room, couldn't help but smile slightly when she saw her sister's series of actions, revealing a knowing smile, as if she had expected all of this.

"Just as I expected..."

She gently put down the comb she was using to style her hair, walked to the window, looked at the moonlight outside, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

"No one can resist Yuzuru Hanyu's charm~"

Actually, she deliberately didn't go to Yuzuru's room tonight, just to create such an opportunity for Natsumi.

after all……

"Young Master's harem needs to be carefully managed~"

.........

In front of Yuzuru Hanyu's bedroom door.

Natsumi Kosaka's hand hovered in mid-air, hesitating to strike.

"What am I doing..." she muttered to herself, her cheeks burning hot, as if they could fry an egg on them. "This is so unladylike..."

But the next second, as if remembering something, she clenched her little fist and encouraged herself: "No! If I like someone, I have to take the initiative!"

She took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door—

"Squeak..."

The door opened a crack by itself.

The little princess was stunned: "It's not locked?"

Her heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks burned bright red, but at that moment, courage overcame her shyness. She gritted her teeth and cautiously pushed open the door, slipping inside like a startled fawn.

In the room, moonlight streamed through the French windows. Yu Sheng Nan was leaning against the headboard, holding a book in his hand, looking at her with a half-smile.

"Xia Mei? It's so late, is something the matter?"

His voice was deep and gentle, with a hint of teasing.

Kosaka Natsumi's face instantly turned bright red, but she did not back down. Instead, she mustered her courage and walked step by step to the bedside.

"Nan Jun... I... I can't sleep."

Her voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were exceptionally firm.

"Is it because you're not used to the new environment?" Yu Sheng Nan put down his book, his tone still gentle, but his eyes had become deep, as if he could see through the secrets in her heart.

Xia Mei shook her head: "It's because... my mind is full of Nan-kun's thoughts..."

She mustered her courage and sat down on the edge of the bed, looking closely into the boy's eyes, her gaze filled with affection and expectation: "Nan-jun, I like you. Not the kind of liking as a friend, but... the kind of liking where I want to be special to you."

She had been holding these words in all day, and now she finally said them.

Yuzuru looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled: "I know."

"Huh?" Xia Mei was taken aback.

"I guessed it from the way you looked at me," Yuzuru Nan said, gently stroking her cheek. "But I didn't expect you to be so proactive..."

Xia Mei's face turned even redder, the blush spreading from her cheeks to her ears, but having already taken this step, she decided to go all out: "Then... does Nan Jun like me?"

“Of course.” Yuzuru answered without hesitation, “Who wouldn’t like such a cute and capable princess?”

Upon hearing this answer, Xia Mei's eyes lit up instantly. She leaned forward, placing her hands on either side of Yu Sheng Nan, so close that they could feel each other's breath.

Yuzuru's lips curled slightly, and he asked knowingly, "So, Natsumi is going to...?"
