When Kiana and Bianka saw Shu again, he just smiled at them.
"Don't worry, it's just a misunderstanding," Shu said, at the same time handing them a clarification certificate that Otto had specially printed. "This is the situation. Bianka is not our child."
Kiana pouted, determined not to look at the words and data that would only give her a headache. "So am I the older sister or the younger sister..."
"..." So that's what you've been focusing on all this time? Shu stared at Kiana for a second, then sighed. "Logically speaking... you should be the older sister..."
"Oh, forget it. Anyway, we've already agreed to call each other whatever!" Kiana thought for a moment, then waved her hand and ran out of Shu's room with Bianka, taking the snacks from the bottom layer of Shu's bedside table with her.
"Wait..." Watching Kiana and Bianka disappear in a flash, Shu's hand rose, froze, and then fell.
He wanted to say that those snacks might have expired. Otto had already unfrozen his assets, and he could buy Kiana some new ones...
But the two of them had run too fast. Shu could only sigh and prepare to get some new ones for Kiana.

Back in Mei's room, Kiana vividly described the process of how she had convinced Shu with her brilliant eloquence and actions, while also passing the clarification certificate to everyone to look over.
"Tch, is that it?" Finally, Sin Mal gave a sharp comment.
"A very reasonable truth..." Fu Hua, who had been called over by Bronya, pushed up her glasses and finally suppressed the strange thought in her mind.
Who knew how many times her worldview had shattered and reassembled when Bronya had told her, "That idiot Kiana and Shu have a child. Class Monitor, are you coming to the banquet?"
What have you all been doing while I was away?!
As a true native of Shenzhou, Fu Hua was much more sensitive to "banquets" than the others. Since they were already considering a banquet, how could it be false?
Fortunately, what Fu Hua saw was not a group of people setting up a banquet, but a group of people still heatedly discussing the relationship between Bianka and Shu. After patiently waiting for a while, Fu Hua's heart was mostly at ease.
So that was the reason...
Compared to the others, who were practically clueless, Fu Hua, who had stayed in Fire Moth, was very concerned about Bianka's matter. Her authority could also access many "secrets," so she understood the whole story after listening for a while.
Now that everything was out in the open, everyone's attention gradually shifted to Fu Hua.
"Class Monitor, what has happened in Fire Moth while we were away?" Kiana pulled Bianka and sat down cross-legged. In Mei's room, a group of girls had now formed a circle.
After Kiana said this, everyone's gaze turned to Fu Hua.
"While you were away... a lot of things have indeed happened in Fire Moth," Fu Hua smiled at these familiar, or should not be familiar but were very familiar faces. "Let me think about where to start..."
"I want to hear Older Sister's story!" Kiana raised her hand with a "swoosh," her eyes filled with excitement. "That stinky old man's storytelling is too exaggerated. It's better when the Class Monitor and Mei tell stories!"
Mr. Siegfried...
"Kiana, that's not very nice..." Fu Hua said with an embarrassed smile, then looked at Bianka. "And, I'm only good at telling stories that I have experienced myself. As for Bianka's story, it should be better for her to tell it herself."
"Huh? Me?" Bianka was surprised, then scratched her head in embarrassment. "I've never told a story to anyone before..."
"Oh, there's a first time for everything!" Kiana said with a smile, nudging Bianka. And after experiencing so much, Bianka was not the type to be shy.
And among this group of people, Bianka always felt a strange sense of security.
"Alright, I'll try..."
"Wow~"
"So that's Miss Bianka's experience?"
"This is like the experience of a protagonist!"
"The City of Sighs... Bronya has been there before..."
"Wow! How mean!"
"..."
Time passed quickly in the midst of the girls' conversation, and the previous storm disappeared with the laughter and joy.
On the other side, Shu didn't stay in his room for long before someone else came to his door.
This time, it wasn't through the window.
The knock on the door was rushed and strong at first, followed by a doorbell, which was slightly more delicate.
Shu was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked downstairs and opened the door.
"Yo, you must be that Shu, right? You look so ridiculously young!" a hearty male voice sounded. Shu looked up in surprise, and a face with a brilliant smile was right in front of him.
"...Mr. Siegfried?" Shu was no longer the person who would blurt out his inner thoughts when he had just transmigrated, but his habit of briefly stating a name to ask for an identity had not changed.
"Oh! I told you he'd know me!" Shu felt that Siegfried's eyes were shining, a little too brightly.
He excitedly turned to a white-haired woman who looked very elegant and pure, and puffed out his chest proudly. "He's known our daughter for so long. Our daughter would definitely brag about how amazing her old man is!"
Actually, she hadn't...
Shu recalled that when Kiana mentioned Siegfried, the words "stinky old man" were inseparable.
Compared to the "mom" she used to address Cecilia, which was full of intimacy and affection, it was a completely different attitude.
Then this must be Cecilia.
Cecilia patted Siegfried's shoulder affectionately. Siegfried consciously moved out of the way and continued to show off beside Cecilia. Cecilia, on the other hand, bowed slightly to Shu, which made Shu quickly bow his head in return.
"Mr. Shu, it's very presumptuous of us to visit you. I hope we're not disturbing you."
"Not at all..." Shu was a little dazed. He didn't know why Cecilia and Siegfried would suddenly come to visit him... was it because of Kiana?
"If you're looking for Kiana, she just left," Shu pointed to the villa next door. "Kiana should be next door now."
"Oh, although I really want to see my daughter, she must be with her friends right now," Siegfried said from behind Cecilia, while at the same time showing Shu what he was holding in his hand as if nothing had happened.
That was... two bottles of wine?
