"Then I'll leave this matter to you."

After arranging this matter, Akemi glanced towards the bathroom, then smiled and lay back down.

At that very moment, Kōyū was also looking at the bathroom with the door tightly closed.

His mind was free of any other thoughts; he was simply thinking:

"It's a good opportunity to meet Shuichi Akai when I go to pick up the gift."

"We can ask Mingmei then which method of meeting we prefer."

"If all else fails, let them meet simply."

Both were preoccupied with their own thoughts, and the atmosphere in the living room became quiet once again.

The quiet atmosphere was broken by Ai.

She pushed open the door and said to Akemi:

"Sister, I'm done washing, you can go wash now."

Ai's face was slightly flushed after taking a bath.

Perhaps because of what had just happened, her face regained some color when she saw Guangyou.

However, thanks to her natural rosy complexion after a bath, no one noticed except for herself.

She was still thinking about it, but she acted as if she had forgotten about it.

She sat down next to Guangyou with a normal expression, wiping her still-damp hair with the towel hanging around her neck.

Seeing this, Akemi made room for the two of them.

She rose from the recliner and walked towards her room, leaving only the words:

"Then you two talk."

A second after Akemi left, Kōyū also got up and walked towards the bathroom.

After Kōyū left, Ai stopped drying her hair and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that taking a shower would make her forget about it.

But the truth is, she hasn't forgotten.

She placed the towel aside, leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes, and thought:

"I should go back and learn how to write a love letter."

This was her first time writing a love letter, so she had to learn from other people's work.

Just then, Guangyou's voice rang in her ear:

"Ai, sit up straight, let me blow-dry your hair."

She opened her eyes, looked at Guangyou who had plugged in the hairdryer and walked to her side, a smile playing on her lips as she thought to herself:

"I think I..."

"Now I know how to write a love letter."
