"Speaking of which, where did Kaito-san go?" Neru, who was immersed in cooking, suddenly thought of something and raised his head to look at Miko, "I thought he was sleeping, so I ran to his room to ask him to eat, but there was a knock on the door. No one responded."
Jerry glanced at her unexpectedly.
Yinliu ran out while preparing drinks. He thought the little girl was slacking off, but he didn't expect that she was going to ask Kaito to eat.
Not bad.
With the feeling of "the child has finally grown up", Jerry looked at Yinliu with a look of relief.
"???" Otoru looked back at him confused.
Why is my brother acting weird lately?
Could it be that the pressure during this period was too great and finally crushed him?
Jerry patted her head kindly, his eyes seeming to say:
"You won't understand at your age. It's such a joy to watch a little kid grow up from being naughty and ignorant to taking the initiative to help his elders."
"You said it all!" Yinliu tried to kick Jerry's calf, "Don't treat me like a brat!"
Jerry raised his foot and pressed it against her slender leg.
Yinliu struggled twice to no avail, so he lay on the table and pretended to cry.
"Uuuu...you have changed. You are no longer the good brother who loves me."
Her "devastated" tone made the room roar with laughter.
Jerry looked at his good sister happily for a while and said, "Don't you still have questions to ask?"
"Oh, right." Otoru raised her head as if nothing had happened, "Miko-san, do you know where Kaito-san has gone?"
She cares more about her own questions than embarrassing her brother by acting.
"He? He went to the palace with Uncle Hutto this morning." Even though she was chewing fried chicken pieces in her mouth, Mei Ke still spoke unambiguously.
"Brother Hairen is following Uncle Hutto?" Yinliu was a little surprised.
Logically speaking, even if Hutto needs help, the person who will help him should be An or Miku.
Do you remember the rumor that "Heto accepted two students" in the royal capital? Later, I don't know who added that "An and Miku from the theater troupe are Hutto's new students", which made the two of them famous in the royal capital.
Many people wanted to meet them. Although they didn't go to Hutto's mansion to see them, many nobles had extended invitations to the troupe.
It was Hutto who blocked it for them.
Even Hutto couldn't withstand all the pressure and had to bring Ann with him in two invited performances.
Although An didn't mind, it felt really uncomfortable to be surrounded by a group of gorgeously dressed nobles as if they were rare animals.
There are even tactful offers to let him marry into the family!
After the beating, An communicated with Hutto in private and told him to only go to him when she needed help in the future...
In short, being brought out to help by a big name like Hutto has its benefits, but it can also cause trouble. If Hutto brought out another face that was unfamiliar to others, rumors might spread that he had accepted a student.
At that time, it wasn't just the sea people who were in trouble, Hutto's mansion was probably also surrounded by a large group of scholars.
So Hutto's move of taking the sea people out was a bit strange.
The conversation between Enliu and Miko reminded An unconsciously that Kaito also disappeared for a period of time after the performance in the royal capital.
Speaking of which, it seems that Ellens and Hutto's attitude towards the sea people occasionally becomes a little strange...
A glimmer of understanding flashed through his mind.
"Maybe Hairen has something to do with the palace." An added a mouthful of rice to his mouth and said casually while chewing.
"Clang!"
The dining table shook violently, startling everyone.
An looked up, and Meiko looked at him with a horrified look on her face.
After being stunned for two seconds with her mouth open, An realized something and quickly made up for it: "Isn't it strange? Hai Ren is the instructor of the Wangdu Conservatory of Music. Maybe he often takes jobs from the palace? The palace knows Hai Ren Here, I will definitely call him over to help!"
"Oh! That's it!" Otoru clapped his hands and said suddenly, "When you said that, I remembered that Kaito-san often went to the palace when he was in the academy."
Then she turned her head: "Isn't it strange that Brother An can guess this? You are making too much fuss, Sister Mei Ke."
Otoru said, pushing the rice bowl in his hand to the inside of the dining table.
Just now, Mei Ke almost dropped her bowl when she kicked the table.
"I, wasn't I scared by this kid? I didn't expect him to guess so accurately." Mei Ke stretched out her hand to rub her knees, and at the same time glanced at An suspiciously.
An chose to pretend to be dumbfounded.
Liu Ge glanced at Meike and ate calmly.
Jerry looked at Yinliu and buried his head in eating without saying anything.
Miku bit his chopsticks and glanced at the few people whose atmosphere was not quite right. The expression on his face was slightly distorted.
what! What's up with this atmosphere where I'm the only one who doesn't know what's going on? ?
Oh, there’s also a note left!
That's okay.
"Hmm -" Miku took a bite of the scallion-flavored pork ribs that he fried, feeling the taste buds tingling, and smiled with satisfaction.
By the way, Ann is the one who does the seasoning.
Miku opened his eyes and found that everyone was looking at him: "Uh... Also, try it, it's really delicious!"
Liu Ge took a piece of it out of dignity.
Confusion appeared on Mei Ke's face, and she finally sighed: "It's nothing, you will know sooner or later, in fact..."
"Ah, ah, don't worry, don't worry, let's eat first." An interrupted, "We'll ask again when the sea people come back."
Ann felt a little guilty for embarrassing her sister and didn't want her to go any further on this topic.
"You brat, do you know how to care about your sister now?" Meixia scolded, "Forget it, let's eat! For the sake of your hard work in cooking so many dishes, I won't argue with you."
Before An could breathe a sigh of relief, she seemed to feel something.
He opened his mouth slightly, turned around and saw that Miku looked aggrieved.
"Obviously An and I did it together..." Miku muttered.
Miku suddenly broke into a cold sweat. In order to cover up her embarrassment, she quickly stood up and took another piece of ribs from the plate in front of Miku.
"Hmm! It's really delicious. Miku's cooking is pretty good!"
"Hey hehe!" Miku smiled and continued to put vegetables into his bowl.
Seeing the unnoticeable smile of pleasure on Miku's lips, Anmo turned her head away.
After lunch, everyone ran into the kitchen to wash dishes. Pushing and shoving, the task was completed happily.
We had nothing to do in the afternoon and couldn't go out, so we just chatted by the pool. When the conversation is pleasant, laugh. When the conversation touches on someone's pain, start joking around and make others laugh.
Time passes and comes sunset.
While An and Miku were preparing dinner, Bai and Shirley came back.
"Thank you for your hard work today, Bai." Mei Ke hugged Bai's neck and said affectionately.
"Huh? It looks like you had a lot of fun today, Mei Ke."
"Hey, these little guys are so cute, especially Jerry and Yinliu. They actually exposed each other's embarrassing things when they were young."
Bai blinked and smiled: "That sounds really happy. I'm sorry I wasn't there."
Jerry covered his face in embarrassment.
Neku unconsciously clenched his fists and pointed them at his brother. She had almost forgotten it after a whole afternoon, but now that she thought about it again, she was really angry! !
The actions of the two people are really funny.
An, Miku, and Liu Ge were in the kitchen now. Bai was talking to the others about what happened in the palace today. She originally wanted to take Shirley to talk with them, but when she turned around, they disappeared.
Turning around again, Liu Ge was gone.
Knowing that they must be preparing tea again, Bai had no choice but to give up.
"I met Ling Heren at the palace today. I think I arrived at noon."
"Really, did they say anything?"
"Ling seems to want to come and play with us."
"Definitely not."
In order to entertain the banquet, the people in the theater troupe were restricted from going out, and they were definitely not allowed to see them.
"Well, I was persuaded by my father... My father went to the palace just to receive Ling and the others. Uncle Ellens is still busy with the banquet, so he can't stay with him all the time."
"Uncle Hutto must have put in a lot of effort."
Everyone knows Liliana's character. If she is told that she cannot go to play with her friends, she will definitely lose her temper.
"Fortunately, father just said a few words, and Liliana agreed." Bai said and suddenly laughed, "Although he still looked unhappy."
"Haha, Ling is quite reliable on important occasions!" Mei Ke said loudly, raising her cup.
Looking at her red face, Bai knew that the cup must be filled with wine, and he shook his head helplessly.
She suddenly thought of what she saw in the palace today, and her expression became hesitant.
The drunk Meiko noticed her expression, and moved her body from leaning back to leaning forward, getting closer.
She touched Bai's cheek with the cup: "Did you see it?"
Bai was surprised at first, and then gradually became relieved when Yu Meike looked at her: "I was worrying too much."
"Don't say that!" Meiko hugged Bai's neck and said cheerfully, "Thank you."
Bai's clothes were a little messed up by her, but she couldn't get angry. After complaining to no avail, she laughed.
"...Brother, what are they talking about??" Otoru blinked twice and looked at his brother.
Jerry thought for two seconds and said, "This is acting, role playing."
"Play? Play what?"
"The Riddler!" Jerry said firmly.
"..." After two seconds of silence, Otoru kicked him, "You too!"
