"Come in with me," Xia Xiang said, holding an umbrella over him before turning and pushing open the door to Cao's Restaurant.

"What are you doing?" Xia Xiang asked.

"Sorry, miss, we didn't go today." Xiao Qiao had just realized she'd forgotten something; it turned out she'd forgotten to go to Happy Farm to cook for this girl.

"Because my sister was falsely accused of assassinating the second young master of the Sun family and is about to be executed, we are trying to find a way to save her."

"What are you thinking about?" Xia Xiang asked.

"I haven't thought of that yet..." Zhuge Liang said somewhat guiltily.

"She's from Jiangdong High School, wouldn't it be better to transfer her to Donghan Academy?" Xia Xiang said.

"That's right!" Zhuge Liang exclaimed with delight, then looked at Cao Cao.

“However, transferring schools isn’t that easy; it requires the cooperation of the student council president of Jiangdong High School,” Cao Cao said.

"Then why did you lock the student council president of Jiangdong High School out?" Xia Xiang's calm tone was like a heavy slap on their heads.

Everyone: ......

Only then did they see Sun Quan, who was soaked by the rain, standing quietly in the shadows behind Xia Xiang, looking at them with disdain.

Cao Cao: Uh...

"I'm leaving. If any of you dare to be late tomorrow, the interest will double." Xia Xiang said, then turned and left.

"Alright, alright!" Zhuge Liang said, then was pierced by the glares of the others.

It's been so long and it still hasn't been his turn to work. He's really curious about what it's like over there.

——

Xia Xiang returned to the farm and went to the backyard to see if Sun Shangxiang had come out. She saw Xiu practicing a copy of the Azure Rainbow Purple Lightning in front of the bamboo forest. She rolled her eyes and turned back to the villa.

Even if he played until the end of time, the music wouldn't reach him.

After wandering around for a day, Sun Shangxiang promptly gave up looking for Cao Cao and focused on finding a way out.

My aunt only told me to go in and find Cao Cao, but she didn't say that Cao Cao was actually inside. It's been three days already; if Cao Cao were really inside, how could she be the only one here?

They'll definitely come in to see the chairman!

Sun Shangxiang found the exit in less time than Cao Cao, entirely thanks to the fact that she actually read that book, which was as thick as her head.

She finally managed to get out and saw Xiu playing their love song. Moved to tears, she ran over and threw herself into his arms.

The two young lovers embraced tenderly in the rain, warming each other's lonely souls caused by longing.

"cut--"

Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu snuggled together, lying on the large recliner on the balcony listening to the rain. Xia Xiang looked up at the two of them and scoffed at them in annoyance.

"Little fatty, have you missed me a lot these past few days?" Jiu Wu asked, affectionately playing with her hair.

"It's just so-so. I'll think about it when I have time," Xia Xiang said proudly, shifting into a more comfortable position in his arms.

"If I said I was going to the Gold Dimension to impersonate Ding Xiaoyu, and Ding Xiaoyu was going to impersonate me to go to the Demon Realm as Diablo's hostage, would you think of me more?"

Jiu Wu's tone remained unchanged, and even his smile was the same as before.

"I'll go kill him!" Xia Xiang said calmly, supporting herself.

Jiu Wu naturally knew she was referring to Diablo, the Demon Lord, but she couldn't make a move.

“Not now.” Jiu Wu pulled her into his arms, wrapped his arms around her, and gently patted her back. “This time you have to listen to me. You go back and take charge of the Iron Dimension.”

"Are you plotting something I don't know about?" Xia Xiang asked, her head down and her voice nasal.

"It's a secret~" Jiu Wu ruffled her hair. "Actually, Xiao Yu is in more danger. I'm telling you in advance so you won't worry too much."

Xia Xiang: I hate secrets!

"Couldn't you have gone by yourself? Why did you have Xiaoyu impersonate you?" Xia Xiang's expression was dark and unreadable. "Or were you really doing this on purpose?!"

Moxibustion Dance: !!!

"It was just an accident," Jiu Wu immediately explained, starting to find reasons to persuade her.

He and Ding Xiaoyu had actually swapped bodies; he really didn't want to, X﹏X

"Yes, I believe you." Xia Xiang snapped her fingers expressionlessly, and Jiu Wu disappeared, returning to the Iron Dimension.

Xia Xiang herself collapsed heavily onto the recliner, closed her eyes, and began to sleep.

——Iron Dimension——

Jiu Wu suddenly appeared and fell onto the office sofa.

"Hey, bro, what brings you back again?" Jiu Lai was used to his way of making an appearance and teased him with a smile.

"This is serious," Jiu Wu said, rubbing his hair in distress.

"What's wrong?" Jiu Lai asked curiously. Could his older brother ever be so insecure?

"She's really angry this time, the kind that you can't appease." Jiu Wu picked up a nearby cushion and punched it twice in frustration.

“How could that be? Every time, you just coax her and she’s fine,” Jiu Lai said.

“This time is different. This time she didn’t even say she was angry,” Jiu Wu said, distressed. “If she said she was angry, I could still coax her. But she didn’t say anything, which is like I’m dead to her.”

"You didn't tell her about that plan???" Jiu Lai perked up instantly. "You're so brave!"

"Why don't you try to coax her again? Maybe she'll soften up."

"No way! Why should I have to coax her just because she's younger!" Jiu Wu said, feigning anger. "I can't coax her even a little bit!"

"She's a Scorpio," Jiu Lai said simply.

"I'll try to appease them after the plan starts," Jiu Wu said helplessly.
