Ignoring the risks, the amusement park project was launched.

That photo

"I do not know what you're talking about."

""

Hiratsuka Shizuka's lips twitched involuntarily.

This most fatal weakness is firmly in the hands of the other side, and he won't be able to hold his head high in front of Mikasa for a while.

Fortunately, at least there's someone to take the fall.

Seeing Touka sleeping soundly, Hiratsuka felt much more comforted.

The two didn't say anything more and continued to tidy up the living room quickly.

Last night's commotion was so intense that I'll probably have to do a thorough cleaning of the entire living room today.

When Hongxia finished washing up and came out, the two had already cleaned up all the visible trash and were moving the coffee table, trying to put away the dirty carpet as well.

As Nijika rushed forward, she didn't forget to inquire about Mikasa's plans for this summer vacation.

"Where did you go this summer vacation? I haven't seen any photos of you on your WeChat Moments."

"The seaside resort area is quite lively during the summer vacation."

"As for the photos, I did take some, but I rushed back before I could upload them."

"Hey, you went to the beach for so long and didn't get a tan?"

"Just make sure you wear sunscreen, but it is really hot. It's only cooler when you're swimming or surfing."

"That sounds wonderful! It makes me want to go on a beach vacation too."

Hongxia smacked her lips, her face full of longing.

"Let's make an appointment to go together next summer vacation, and treat it as a high school camp activity."

"I heard that the Motari and Swire families are jointly investing in the development of a new island resort, and are also preparing to hold the biggest music festival next year."

"If I can make it next time, I can go and see it."

Mikasa's suggestion made Nijika's eyes light up with anticipation.

Since it's a music festival, as a band member, I naturally couldn't miss it!

"I definitely have to go and see it, and I can also invite a few friends I just made yesterday."

"Ok?"

Under Mikasa's questioning gaze, Nijika introduced Lappland and the others she had met the day before.

As they chatted and rolled up the carpet, Hiroi Kikuri and Takanashi Touka, who had been lying on the sofa for a long time, finally woke up one after another.

The two stared blankly at the familiar ceiling, their brains seemingly undergoing a reboot.

Am I still alive?

Bathed in the morning sunlight, Hiroi Kikuri stared blankly at the cleaned coffee table.

I really did it!

I haven't touched a drop of alcohol all day!!!

The three-day restriction on crickets doesn't seem as difficult as I imagined!

Hiroi Kikuri was suddenly filled with pride and was about to stand up and shout a few words to express her excited feelings.

But the moment his legs touched the ground, they buckled uncontrollably, and he almost fell headfirst to the ground.

Only then did she finally remember how she had managed to suppress her tormenting alcohol addiction.

On the other side, Toka also recalled fragmented memories from last night, and an unnatural look flashed in her eyes.

I actually fainted from the shock. If people found out, I would lose face terribly.

Even now, she feels her legs are so weak they're almost unresponsive, and her back is aching.

It's like someone accidentally kicking your waist all night while you're unconscious, even trying to force their arm into a strange position.

As Tokachi glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka and saw that the other person's condition didn't seem to be much better, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I wasn't the only one who embarrassed myself.

After struggling to her feet, she dragged her weak body toward the bathroom, intending to wash up properly.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to ask everyone what they wanted for breakfast.

"There seem to be some soup dumplings in the kitchen fridge. Shall we have those for today?"

"Okay, you guys get it out for me first, I'm going to wash up."

"okay"

Everyone obediently agreed, and rolled up the carpet and set it aside.

"How do I deal with this thing? It seems like a real hassle to clean it up."

"Let's leave it for now. I'll go check on the pool area in the common area later. It looks like it'll be finished today, then we can take the carpet there to wash."

"I don't know why, but when I woke up I felt like my neck was about to be snapped."

At the dining table, Jiang Qiu grimaced as she rubbed her aching neck.

Faced with his questioning gaze, Hiratsuka remained silent, only stuffing xiaolongbao into her mouth.

Jiang Qiu narrowed her eyes and looked at Shi Hua on the other side, but Shi Hua's condition was not much better, as she kept rubbing her waist and arms.

As for Kikuto Hiroi, he selectively ignored her.

He forcibly sent this guy away before he lost consciousness, so he had no chance to cause trouble.

The result is obvious: the murderer is Shizuka Hiratsuka!

However, before Jiang Qiu could speak, Hiratsuka Shizuka stood up abruptly.

"I'm full! I'm going to be late for work, I'm leaving now!"

"Huh? But there's still more than a month before your work start time, Sister Jing."

Before Hongxia could finish speaking, Hiratsuka Shizuka had already disappeared.

Ichiko gazed silently in the direction she had left, and couldn't help but ask—

"Did she get into some trouble and is she in such a hurry to run away?"

"I strongly suspect she tried to kill me last night."

"I should leave too, and see that guy off while I'm at it."

After quickly swallowing her last xiaolongbao, Shihua grabbed her coat and rushed out.

Seeing that the two of them seemed a little off, Xingge frowned involuntarily.

Did something happen after yesterday's party?

What's with this feeling of being an outsider?

When her gaze fell upon Kiku, who was happily stuffing xiaolongbao into her mouth, she decisively abandoned the idea of ​​asking, and even sighed.

Sometimes I'm quite envious of this guy's carefree attitude.

Meanwhile, Hiratsuka Shizuka was stopped by Toka as soon as she left the apartment building.

"You forgot something."

"Ok?"

Under Hiratsuka Shizuka's bewildered gaze, Toka tossed her coat over.

"Isn't this your coat? Why are you giving it to me?"

However, when asked by Hiratsuka Shizuka, Toka didn't say much. She waved her hand and walked towards the street in the distance.

Hiratsuka Shizuka stared blankly at the other person's back, then subconsciously reached into her pocket before her expression suddenly changed.

The next second, her pretty face flushed red at a visible speed.

I wanted to explain, but Shihua had already disappeared, as if she was afraid of being implicated by some wicked adults who wanted to use the boy as a mount.

My reputation for life is probably ruined.

I shouldn't have agreed to help Kiku in the first place!

Hiratsuka Shizuka clutched her head in utter frustration, wishing she could go back inside and strangle the source of all this trouble on the spot.

But as Hong Meiling strolled out of the guardhouse with a steamed bun in her mouth, doing stretching exercises, she quickly pretended that nothing had happened.

"Master Hong, you're here so early today?"

"Our eldest and second young ladies just got up a little earlier today. After dropping them off at school, I came over early to keep an eye on them."

"But compared to me, those little kappa craftsmen are really hardworking; they've already started construction."

As Hong Meiling spoke, she pointed to the middle floor of the apartment building, where, under the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, one could clearly see many petite figures busily moving about.

If I remember correctly, the public swimming area should be completed today, right?

Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes lit up immediately, and she couldn't wait to experience it.

But the thought of having to go to work and only being able to experience it at night immediately made me feel listless again.

"Never mind, I'm going to work now. If you have time, take a picture of the swimming area and send it to me."

"no problem"

After waving goodbye to Hong Meiling, Hiratsuka Shizuka slumped over and continued walking out.

I drank so much yesterday, I can forget about driving now, I'll just have to walk to school.

Shortly after she and Shihua left, Xingge also went out to prepare to open the shop.

As for Jiang Qiu and the others who remained at home, they began dividing up the local specialties that Mikasa had brought back.

"Oh wow! There's alcohol?!"

The sharp-eyed Kikuto Hiroi immediately spotted the bottle of liquor in the suitcase and perked up.

The alcohol addiction that had been so tightly suppressed began to stir again at this moment.

However, as Mikasa handed her the item, her gaze faltered—

"empty?"

"The unique wine bottles I saw at the resort were said to be from the legendary Age of Exploration."

"I thought you like to drink, so I brought this back for you. You can use it to store alcoholic beverages and drinks, and it even functions as a thermos."

""

Hiroi Kikuri's lips twitched; she had a vague feeling that something was off.

But when she thought about how she could initially fill the container with water to fool Jiang Qiu and then switch it to wine, she immediately thanked him happily and accepted the gift.

"I brought Hongxia a wind chime made of star-shaped seashells, and Xingge's pirate cat plush toy."

"Thank you"

"Jiang Qiu's is a pirate ship model kit, and it's quite big. It'll probably take several days to assemble."

"Perfect timing, I also have something prepared for you here, a complete set of cosmetics plus discounted clothes from our group purchase."

During the exchange of gifts, Jiang Qiu's phone unexpectedly rang.

The one showing up at this time is probably that guy Lappland again.

He glanced at his phone and, sure enough, it was Gouzi asking if he had any plans for the day.

"The communal swimming area in our apartment building is almost finished, and I'm planning to go help out and try it out while I'm at it."

"An indoor swimming pool?! Can I come and play?"

"Weren't you guys going out to play today?"

"Mostima and the others went sightseeing and shopping, but I was too lazy to walk, so I thought I'd come here to kill some time."

"Sure, I'll send you the address later. Just come over."

"okay!"
