God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 1259 - 365: We’ve Been Burgled!
"Did you look at the house yesterday? What do you think?"
On a work-free Saturday afternoon, in Yan Huan's public rental housing in the South District.
Sakuragi Hitomi looked at the news on her tablet about the guest replacement announcement for the second season of "Girl Group Face-off," raised an eyebrow, and then looked away.
Meanwhile, she suddenly thought of something, turned to An Le who was drawing comic line art, and asked.
"Um, Vice President Sakuragi, I think it's best for Xiao Huan not to move for the time being..."
Listening to An Le's response, Sakuragi Hitomi squinted and studied An Le's profile.
She paused for a second, then continued,
"...Why?
"No matter what, even housing two people feels cramped in the President's house.
"Plus, you have to spend so much time commuting every morning... aren't you also about to start going to the Golden Lion Group soon? Isn't it tiring..."
In fact, last night Yan Huan had proactively suggested moving specifically for Sakuragi Hitomi's sake.
Sakuragi Hitomi was a lady whose family home, a Western-style mansion in Jinghe District, Yan Huan had visited more than once.
Her bedroom alone was larger than Yan Huan's entire public rental apartment.
Cramming into a small public rental apartment was naturally unsuitable for her, not to mention having to travel all the way from Jinghe District every day.
That's why Yan Huan suddenly had that idea last night.
However, Sakuragi Hitomi's desire to move wasn't about these tangible conditions.
As a child at her grandfather's, she used to hide into wardrobes every day. Her fantasy of a happy home wasn't about big houses or grand villas.
As long as she could be with her loved one and keep a cat, she would be content.
Thus, you see, the places Sakuragi Hitomi was picking were mostly apartments rather than villas.
Her real reason for wanting to move was simple:
Autonomy.
In the South District rental house, she always felt like An Le was the "lady of the house."
It's hard to explain why Sakuragi Hitomi felt this way because it was manifest in the smallest details.
For instance, once the laundry was done, she would fold it for you, and you'd need to ask her where she put your clothes.
For instance, her toiletries had her favorite patterns, and your toiletries were kept as backups in the drawers.
For instance, her slippers were obviously exclusive pink patterned ones, matching the President's couple style, while you wore newly bought neutral gray slippers...
Is this right?!
This feeling annoyed Sakuragi Hitomi, so when Yan Huan mentioned moving, she immediately started looking for house listings to escape such a situation.
But now...
An Le disagreed?
In other words, she wasn't willing to give up the so-called "autonomy," huh?
"..."
Feeling the implication behind An Le's words, Sakuragi Hitomi's retort had a bit of tension in it.
Earlier, she claimed not to expect Xiao Huan to ultimately choose her, and that she would be satisfied with just a bit of affection...
Could it be that An Le was simply playing hard to get?!
"Hmm, it's certainly a bit troublesome. Actually, I also think Xiao Huan should live in a better environment..."
But An Le just shyly smiled, expressing agreement.
However...
Hmm, Sakuragi Hitomi's sixth sense told her that this seemingly harmless An Le in front of her was definitely plotting something.
Sure enough, the next second An Le hesitated, biting her lip, and said,
"But, think about it, Vice President Sakuragi, we're now secretly living with Xiao Huan, right?
"My parents have absolutely no idea about this, and I'm sure Vice President Sakuragi's parents wouldn't agree if they found out...
"Xiao Huan moving is completely out of character. On the surface, Xiao Huan is supposed to be living alone, but suddenly moving to a big house would naturally raise questions as to why..."
Excuses!
Upon hearing that, Sakuragi Hitomi immediately stood up, came in front of An Le, and refuted,
"As long as no one finds out, isn't it fine? Like now, we're living together, and no one else has discovered that, so it doesn't affect us...
Seeing Sakuragi Hitomi standing in front of her, An Le also stood up slowly.
As she stood, because of the height and chest size difference, a shadow immediately covered Sakuragi Hitomi's face.
Sakuragi Hitomi was slightly stunned, tilted her head up a little, and happened to see An Le smiling softly, calmly responding,
"But moving isn't a small matter... Even if we can hide it from our parents, can we hide it from Ye Shiyu's mother? Don't forget, Xiao Huan is her well-loved foster child.
"The modifier issue still isn't resolved. If Ye Shiyu finds out something's amiss through Aunt Ye Lan, it might not be good for resolving the modifier issue..."
Darn it!
She actually couldn't refute it?!
Sakuragi Hitomi just realized today that the previously gentle An Le could also be quite skilled with words?!
"..."
Sakuragi Hitomi quietly turned her head away a little, letting her face re-emerge into the light, so her eyes could cross the 'ridge,' and meet An Le's gaze.
One face bore a warm smile, while the other had puffed cheeks.
When their eyes met, sparks were unavoidable.
"Knock knock knock~"
Just then, the door sounded, interrupting their confrontation.
An Le glanced at the entrance and was slightly surprised,
"Hmm? Did Xiao Huan forget her keys?"
While Sakuragi Hitomi looked over at the hall's cabinet and, seeing no keys evident, skeptically remarked,
The President should have taken them...
Usually, Yan Huan liked to leave the keys there, making them easy to grab when coming and going.
Upon hearing that, An Le walked to the door, peeking through the peephole.
She saw a woman with fiery red hair standing at the door, looking rather menacing.
"Click~"
Seeing it was Tong Yingying, An Le immediately opened the door.
And Tong Yingying at the door was about to break into a bit of a smile, but seeing it was An Le who opened the door, her face immediately fell.
