Kiana leaned on the table and squinted her eyes.
"Seele is so reliable."
"Not like me."
"When I was a freshman, I went to the food street behind the school to buy food."
"As a result, because there were too many alleys, I got completely lost."
"Even looking at the map on my phone, I couldn't find my way out."
"I even sent messages to Mei and Bronya while crying."
"Later, I stayed on that food street for more than an hour. Mei and Bronya searched for me for half an hour before they finally got me out."
Susana nodded repeatedly, clearly feeling the same way.
“I understand, Kiana-senpai.”
"When I first went there, I wandered around for forty minutes and couldn't find my way out."
"Later, I met a kind-hearted shopkeeper who helped me get out of there."
"I heard from people over there that the food street is a complete maze."
"Even locals have to walk for a long time if they don't have a map to get there."
Raiden Mei seemed to recall the slightly distressing memories of searching for Kiana with Bronya.
"However, Seele should be fine with her phone."
"I'd better remind her."
Raiden Mei sent Seele a message.
But a notification sound popped up on the chair next to me.
Susana picked it up and glanced at it.
"Mei-senpai, this looks like Seele's phone."
Kiana: “???”
Raiden Mei: “???”
Yun Jin: "???"
The group exchanged glances and fell silent.
Is that child really okay?
Raiden Mei thought with some worry.
Twenty minutes passed...
Seele did not return.
Forty minutes have passed...
Seele still hasn't returned.
More than an hour has passed...
Several shows have already started.
Seele still hasn't returned.
Even Raiden Mei was starting to panic.
Could they have really gotten lost or gotten into an accident?
Think of this.
She got up to go out and look for someone, and Kiana originally wanted to go with her.
However, Raiden Mei stopped her.
To prevent Seele from not being able to find anyone when she returns, and also to help look after the other two little sisters.
Now, at her suggestion, Susana has taken Yun Jin to watch a show to distract her.
After all, their goal was to perform in this arts festival.
So Mei decided to go look for them herself first, just in case she couldn't find them.
She then contacted Xia Yu and Bronya.
……
"oops!"
"It hurts to death."
Theresa rubbed the back of her head where she had bumped the steering wheel and slowly sat back in her seat.
Xia Yu, with a contented expression, handed Theresa a bottle of mineral water.
Theresa glared at him resentfully.
He took the bottled water and drank several mouthfuls before stopping.
Unwilling to give up, she pinched Xia Yu's hand lightly again.
"You bad guy."
"I've already paid the fare once."
"You actually went back on your word and charged double the price."
"That's so unreasonable."
Xia Yu straightened his chest with a sense of righteous indignation.
“I didn’t say I would only charge for one ride.”
"And you gave me the first fare voluntarily."
"I stole the second fare."
"So this is all your problem."
"Take a step back and say it."
It took me half an hour to get from school to where you live.
"It took you another half hour to get back to school from where you live."
"Isn't it reasonable for me to charge you twice?"
"I would have already been at the Grand Theater to watch the performance by now."
"But now I've wasted so much time picking you up."
"You have no choice but to oversleep."
Xia Yu's series of rebuttals left Theresa speechless with anger.
But the thought that Xia Yu still had leverage over him was unbearable.
She could only swallow her anger.
He forced a gentle and kind smile.
"Fine, I'll be magnanimous and not be angry with you for charging me the fare twice."
"But at least give me back what you just stole."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go to the theater to see a performance at all!"
As soon as she finished speaking...
Xia Yu left with the words, "Take your time finding it yourself. I need to go supervise my junior's show."
Then he opened the car door and ran out.
"hateful!!!"
"You bad guy!"
"You better remember this!"
Theresa’s angry voice came from the carriage.
Watching Xia Yu's departing figure.
Theresa was both angry and anxious.
Helpless, they could only search the carriage.
Finally, she found her underwear in the back seat.
hateful.
How did this guy even do that?
It was snatched away before I even realized what was happening.
Theresa bit her red lips tightly.
