But people are different, and so are their feelings.

If you're not the one who experienced it, you can't fully understand that feeling.

Guangyou understands this principle very well.

He certainly wouldn't be so emotionally inept as to advise Ai to take things easy.

Saying things like "Mingmei is fine now" is something only someone with extremely low emotional intelligence would say.

Since realizing that Ai was the same, Kousuke has become even quieter.

He kept a close eye on Ai's emotional changes.

Even if Ai doesn't like someone, she won't get angry on the spot.

That's not her personality at all.

And Akemi was quite happy at this moment.

She wouldn't want to spoil her sister's good mood.

Some people might be about to ask the classic question, "Him or me, which one should I choose?"

This question was asked out of concern, of course.

But if Ai were to ask this question aloud...

This would leave Akemi caught in the unsolvable dilemma of choosing between her lover and her sister.

The lack of a result ruined Mingmei's mood, and she herself was still upset.

It's not worth the risk.

However, Ai is certainly not that kind of person.

She also heard from Kōyū that he wanted to pursue Akemi again.

If that person treats Minghao better, it's not impossible that she might call him "brother-in-law" in the future.

But now...

She didn't want to mention that person's name or code name.

It's better to use "someone" instead.

Of course, this isn't because Ai is petty or anything like that.

Not everyone is a saint, able to forgive and forget the past.

If you encounter something like this, it's already quite good if you don't immediately break off the relationship.

It's like an otaku's beloved figurine being damaged or nearly damaged by a naughty child.

Even if the other parents apologize and pay compensation, don't expect that after this matter is over, A-Zhai will have a good attitude towards that brat.

The same applies to this matter.

Her attitude is perfectly normal.

Even if it were Guangyou, he would probably have the same attitude if he encountered this kind of thing.

Although Guangyou was less talkative than usual, he still said a few words to liven up the atmosphere.

With Mingmei's agreement and a delicious lunch, the atmosphere at the table was quite harmonious.
