"They all know... It seems my dream will soon come true."

Meitellia looked at Alfia's expression and chuckled softly.

Following Meitellia's hints, Alfia seemed somewhat at a loss.

Despite forcing herself to remain calm, her palms were clenched so tightly they turned white.

With a snap, the teacup in her hand shattered, spilling tea onto her dress and staining her beautiful clothes.

"Sister, how could you be so careless?"

Seeing this, Meitellia's smile widened.

She took out a towel and gently wiped Alfia's black Lolita dress, laughing, "Looks like a towel won't get it clean. I'll have to ask Ming Ge to use his Absorption Magic to help."

As they were talking, Meitellia gave Ming Ge a look.

Shrugging, Ming Ge stood up and then sat down next to Alfia.

Alfia glared at Ming Ge with shame and indignation, as if threatening him.

Ming Ge had no doubt that without Meitellia, he would have been sent flying.

Therefore, he didn't dare to go too far, lest he provoke Alfia and suffer the consequences. So he placed his hand on her dress, without even touching her body.

"Absorption Magic-- "

Using magic with utmost seriousness, Ming Ge absorbed the traces of tea contamination and then withdrew her hand.

Despite not having any physical contact with Alfia still stiffened and blushed deeply upon sensing Ming Ge's presence.

You're too nervous.

Meitellia held Alfia's hand and said with a smile, "You can't keep talking to Ming Ge in such a cold tone, or he'll be sad."

She held Alfia's hand and then pulled Ming Ge's hand over, making the three of them hold hands together.

This second physical intimacy, though merely a simple touch of hands, stirred a powerful emotion within Alfia.

After a long silence, Alfia finally calmed down, and even her previous overreaction disappeared.

You're really something!

Ming Ge gave Meitellia a look, and Meitellia smiled smugly.

The two were exchanging glances, but Alfia kept her head down; she no longer dared to glare at Ming Ge like before, and now she was completely afraid to look at him.

They were completely outmaneuvered by the young couple Meitellia and Ming Ge.

After a long while, Meitellia her hand, leaving only the two of them holding hands.

Alfia composed herself and took a long time to raise her head, whereupon she saw Ming Ge's gentle smile.

Feeling the warmth of his hand and glancing at the radiant smile of Meitellia, she knew perfectly well what her younger sister meant.

As her emotions gradually calmed down, Alfia subconsciously tried to pull her hand away, but Ming Ge held it tightly.

After glaring at Ming Ge, seeing his nonchalant attitude, Alfia could only helplessly accept it.

There's no use in caring too much; it only exposes your insecurity.

What a strange couple.

Alfia silently muttered something to herself before raising her head.

Only then did she notice an unknown figure standing not far away.

Wait, did someone see me looking so pathetic?

Alfia, and asked stiffly, "And this is...?"

"It's Ming Ge's new love."

Meitellia mischievously.

With a snap, Ming Ge felt Alfia turn around and grasp his hand.

Instead of feeling any tenderness, I experienced intense pain.

Ming Ge: "..."

"Elder sister!!"

Upon hearing the sound, Meitellia cried out in surprise.

Only then did Alfia realize that she had overreacted.

And judging from her appearance, Meitellia was completely joking.

Slightly embarrassed, Alfia let go of his hand, unsure of what to do.

"Feel sorry."

Alfia apologized softly.

"Shouldn't it be common sense to show your genitals when apologizing?"

"You rascal..."

Alfia, looking at Ming Ge with a mixture of shame, anger, and speechlessness.

He's usually such a serious man, how could he make a joke like that... Alfia helplessly, maybe Ming Ge knew she couldn't hit him right now, he really had her figured out.

"Putting that aside for now, is your hand really okay?"

Meitellia worriedly.

"It's nothing."

Ming Ge didn't care at all. A crisp cracking sound rang out as Ming Ge used Regulation Magic to correct the bone alignment.

I still know some simple healing magic; once I cast it, there's no longer any apparent abnormality.

Although she will actually need to recuperate for a while, this can be included in her daily routine and will not affect Ming Ge's actions.
