However, she didn't speak to Natsuhiko before leaving. She just glanced at their backs at the door and said those words to Chika. Natsuhiko didn't even look at Kaguya because of what she said.

Xia Yan simply waited by the door like a well-behaved child, hoping to quickly take Fujiwara Chika back to her grandmother's house.

Before leaving, Fujiwara Chika had instructed her most trusted nanny to lock the door and clean up after everyone had left, as she would be back the next morning.

Shirogane Miyuki saw Kaguya leave to see Fujiwara Chika off, so he followed Kaguya out. However, he didn't expect that Natsuhiko was standing outside the door, so he glared at Natsuhiko.

Hearing Kaguya say that, even a fool would know that Kaguya was implying that someone should take her home. Shirogane Miyuki thought to himself, "Could it be that Kaguya is implying that I should take Kaguya home?" He was overjoyed.

With a grin, Shirogane Miyuki said to Kaguya, "I'll take you home later." As Shirogane Miyuki looked at Kaguya, a hint of disappointment appeared on her face, as if she was lost in thought and hadn't noticed what he had said.

"Hey, Kaguya, what's wrong?" Shirogane Miyuki nudged Kaguya with his elbow, pulling her out of her reverie. Kaguya snapped back to reality. "Oh, what were you saying?" Kaguya glanced at Shirogane Miyuki beside her.

Shirogane Miyuki wasn't stupid; he knew that Kaguya had been lost in thought about someone. It must have been that person. Shirogane Miyuki glanced at the elevator numbers; they had reached the first floor. Kaguya had been staring at this spot just now.

Shirogane Miyuki glared at the elevator, then turned to Kaguya and said, "How about I take you home later?" Shirogane Miyuki quickly changed his expression and said to the fully sculpted Kaguya.

"Hmm? No need," Kaguya said, ignoring Shirogane Miyuki and returning to her room.

Chapter 125 Kaguya Drinking

After declining Miyuki Shirogane's offer to take her home, Kaguya went straight back, grabbed a bag, and left. On her way home, Kaguya looked at the bag in her hand.

The dark blue crocodile skin was quite rare; Xia Yan had specially bought it for her. "Xia Yan, Xia Yan, it's all Xia Yan!" Kaguya got angry whenever she thought of Xia Yan and suddenly threw the bag she was holding away.

The bag rolled around, but it didn't improve Kaguya's mood at all. It just made Kaguya feel a little reluctant as the bag flew away, just a second after it flew out.

Kaguya regretted it immediately. "This is a very expensive bag, and it's very useful. It's my favorite bag." Kaguya ran over with awkward steps in her high heels to pick up the poor bag that had fallen to the ground.

"Sigh, I'm so sorry you've suffered. It's all because of Xia Yan that you and I have had to go through so much hardship." Kaguya picked up her bag, dusted it off, and then headed towards her home.

Suddenly, Kaguya twisted her ankle; the heel of her shoe broke just as she was running over. "Ugh, what a terrible day! One unlucky thing after another has happened. Ever since I met Natsuhiko, I've been so unlucky."

Kaguya angrily took off her high heels, impulsively wanting to throw them directly into the flowing river, as dashingly as she had thrown away Natsuhiko, but Kaguya couldn't bring herself to do it.

The thought that these shoes represented her love for Xia Yan made her lower her arm from the high heels and quietly put them back in her bag, keeping them safe.

"There seems to be a place that's having a slipper giveaway. I don't have any shoes myself, so I might want to check it out." The place Kaguya was referring to was a bar. It was a bit far from Kaguya's house, but they happened to be having a free slipper giveaway today.

Kaguya was feeling a bit down today, so she decided to go to a bar to clear her head. After saying that, Kaguya hailed a taxi and went to the bar.

Kaguya was infected by the atmosphere of the bar, and her emotions were gradually released. She felt the coolness of the new slippers on her feet. "These slippers don't belong to me, so you're making them so cold to express your resistance to me, right?"

Kaguya kicked her new slippers hard. "Give me the strongest liquor!" Kaguya waved to the person at the bar, and the person walked towards her.

"Miss, did I hear that right? A bottle? Not a glass?" The bartender saw Kaguya in front of him. "Oh, miss, are you heartbroken? Here's a bottle of 'Song of Heartbreak,' but it's only a glass." The bartender served Kaguya a glass of wine.

.... ... .......

She left, and Kaguya was quite annoyed when she heard the bartender mention the word "heartbreak." She was about to lash out at the bartender, but then she noticed that the drink he gave her was very beautiful, with a layered and appealing color.

Kaguya was delighted by the lemon garnish on her glass, so she suppressed her anger and swallowed the fiery drink whole.

"Song of Heartbreak? What a name. This drink feels just like the song of heartbreak." After downing a glass, Kaguya deeply understood why the bartender called this drink "Song of Heartbreak." The feeling of her heart churning was exactly the same as the feeling of heartbreak.

It was bittersweet, like the emotion one feels for the one-sided effort they've made.

Chapter 126 Misunderstanding

Kaguya found the song of heartbreak quite delicious, so she ordered many, many glasses from the bartender. While drinking it, Kaguya didn't feel intoxicated, but rather addicted and wanted more.

But as she drank, Kaguya suddenly felt the effects of the alcohol hit her hard. In an instant, she felt as if all the valves controlling her had been opened, including her tear ducts, the release of emotions, and the "437" feeling of being drunk.

Kaguya covered her face and started to cry. When the bartender saw Kaguya crying, he handed her some tissues. At this moment, some people gathered around Kaguya, some strangers, and Kaguya didn't know who they were.

"Beautiful lady, come with us? There's only happiness there, no hardship." Kaguya, her face streaked with tears, looked up from the table at the person beside her, seemingly very curious about a place where only happiness existed.

The moment Kaguya suddenly looked up, tears smudged her makeup. The people were startled by Kaguya's reaction. Looking through the smudged makeup, they nodded to each other, "She's a beauty."

"Beautiful lady, let's go," they helped Kaguya up from her seat. "Wait, this beautiful lady hasn't paid her bill yet," the bartender carefully stopped those who wanted to take Kaguya away.

Those people glared at the bartender, who then fell silent. The bartender recognized Kaguya and Xia Yan, who often came with her. "These 'songs of heartbreak' aren't a small amount," the bartender said, looking at the empty table with a pained expression.

So he called Xia Yan and said, "Is this Mr. Xia Yan? Miss Kaguya is drunk here. Why don't you come over and pay the bill?" After the bartender finished speaking, he did not receive a reply, but only heard a "beep".

The other party hung up the phone, and suddenly Xia Yan appeared outside the door. Xia Yan found the bartender and asked him in a panic, "Where is Kaguya? Where is he?" The bartender glanced at Xia Yan and pointed to an intersection next to him.

Xia Yan was about to rush over, but the bartender stopped him. "Wait, the bill hasn't been settled yet. This is a month's salary for me!" Xia Yan was pulled back by the bartender, who then threw a bank card on the table at the man.

So Xia Yan immediately rushed to the intersection and found Kaguya. "Kaguya?" Xia Yan heard Kaguya's laughter, as well as the voices of two filthy middle-aged men...

Kaguya lunged forward and punched the two middle-aged men on the head. The two men looked slightly frightened by Xia Yan's appearance. "You little brat, don't mess things up, or you'll regret it."

The man took out a dagger from his pocket and pointed it at Xia Yan. Xia Yan had left in a hurry and hadn't brought any tools with him. Seeing the dagger, Xia Yan wasn't afraid. He simply clenched his empty fist and pointed it at the man.

"Okay, you're not scared, are you? Come on!" The person shook his fat belly and was about to rush towards Xia Yan. Xia Yan dodged to the side, but unexpectedly, another person suddenly threw Kaguya to the ground.

Xia Yan slashed his arm, and before he could feel the pain, he used his bloodied arm to punch the two of them hard. The wobbly beer belly was subdued by Xia Yan's lightning-fast legs.

Xia Yan helped Kaguya up and then took her home. Seeing the slippers on Kaguya's feet, Xia Yan felt a little sorry for her and bought her a new pair of sneakers on the street.

Chapter 127 Kaguya's Misunderstanding

When Xia Yan dropped Kaguya off at her doorstep, he realized he didn't have a key to her house. He searched Kaguya's bag but couldn't find it. Just then, Kaguya, who was asleep, twitched her eyelashes.

Seemingly about to wake up, Xia Yan leaned Kaguya's body against the door. "Kaguya?" It seemed to be Shirogane Miyuki's voice. Upon hearing this call, Xia Yan immediately hid in the bushes in front of Kaguya's house.

Sure enough, the person who came running up, panting, was Shirogane Miyuki. It's likely that the light in front of Kaguya 04's house attracted Shirogane Miyuki to come and check on Kaguya. Perhaps Shirogane Miyuki deliberately passed by Kaguya's house.

Xia Yan quietly shifted his body. "Since Shirogane Miyuki is here, I should leave too." Seeing Shirogane Miyuki help Kaguya up, Xia Yan felt that Shirogane Miyuki should be able to take good care of Kaguya, so he quietly left.

"Shirogane Miyuki? Wasn't I just at the bar? How come I'm here now?" Kaguya slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Shirogane Miyuki, who was supporting her shoulder. Shirogane Miyuki looked confused.

Not knowing how to answer the question, Shirogane Miyuki realized that Kaguya had just gone to a bar by herself, but he didn't know which bar she went to.

"Did you save me, Miyuki Shirogane?" Kaguya's bright eyes stared at Miyuki Shirogane's face. Miyuki Shirogane, stared at by that face, wanted to refute Kaguya's words but couldn't utter a sound.

Although he didn't know who the hero who saved Kaguya was, he wanted to be that hero in Kaguya's heart today. "Yes, I just brought you to your house and you woke up." Shirogane Miyuki didn't look Kaguya in the eye because he was lying.

Kaguya stood up, her gaze towards Shirogane Miyuki filled with admiration. This was a treatment Shirogane Miyuki had never received from Kaguya before. So this was how Kaguya treated the hero who had saved her.

"Are you hurt? Let me see. Those two didn't do anything to you, did they?" Kaguya stepped away from Shirogane Miyuki a little, then circled him once. Finding no scars, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew~ It's good that you're alright." Kaguya didn't notice any battle scars on Shirogane Miyuki's body. Fortunately, no one was hurt because of her, so Kaguya was relieved and took out her keys from a compartment in her bag.

When Kaguya stood up, she noticed she was wearing a pair of sneakers, while her high heels were nowhere to be seen. "Shirogane Miyuki, you bought me a new pair of shoes, thank you," Kaguya said to Shirogane Miyuki as she opened her bag.

The shoes were a style he liked, and the size was just right. Size 437s were very comfortable to wear. Shirogane Miyuki accepted Kaguya's thanks with embarrassment.

"I usually put the key in the compartment, it's safer that way. It's understandable that you didn't find it just now. Oh dear, my head is starting to spin, I need to go inside and sleep quickly. Don't worry, it'll be fine once we get home, you can go now."

After Kaguya finished speaking, she took out the key to her room from her bag, opened the door to her room, said a hurried goodbye to Shirogane Miyuki, then kicked off her shoes and lay down on the bed to sleep.

"Phew, I think I've seen Natsuhiko before. Maybe it's just my imagination," Kaguya muttered to herself as she lay on the bed. Perhaps it was just her imagination that made her mistake Shirogane Miyuki for Natsuhiko.

Chapter 128 A chance encounter in the hospital

After returning home, Xia Yan discovered that the scab that had just scabbed over had reopened. "Ugh, what a hassle," Xia Yan sighed. He found a piece of white gauze in his house, quickly bandaged the wound, and went to sleep.

When Xia Yan woke up the next morning, he felt that the scar on his arm seemed to have become infected and was slightly painful, so he decided to go to the hospital to have it checked.

While waiting to register for the doctor's appointment, I noticed that there was someone sitting next to me. The woman in the black pencil skirt was none other than Kaguya. "Kaguya, what brings you to the hospital? You made it home safely last night, right? And you haven't encountered any danger since?"

Xia Yan was worried that Kaguya had come to the hospital because she had suffered some kind of injury. He had left after seeing Shirogane Miyuki arrive last night, and now he felt a little annoyed, thinking that he should have waited until Kaguya entered before leaving.

"Hmm, no." Kaguya didn't look into Xia Yan's eyes at first, deliberately avoiding his gaze. This was the first time Xia Yan had taken the initiative to talk to her.

"You know about what happened last night? Did Shirogane Miyuki tell you?" Kaguya was a little confused when Natsuhiko brought up what happened last night. Wasn't Shirogane Miyuki by her side last night?

Xia Yan knew that he had encountered danger last night. At this moment, the person in the middle of them left his seat, and Kaguya could walk over and sit down.

Kaguya changed her seat, holding the registration ticket in her hand. Xia Yan didn't answer Kaguya's question directly, but pointed to the ticket number in Kaguya's hand, noticing that Kaguya was alone.

It seems Kaguya came to the hospital alone, not with anyone else. "Hmm, it seems like there was something in the drink last night. I came to check if there was any poison left in my body. Hey, what happened to your hand?"

When Kaguya sat down, she noticed that the gauze wrapped around Natsuhiko's arm was slightly seeping with bright red blood. Hadn't it healed a few days ago? She had seen Natsuhiko at Chika's house yesterday.

The gauze on Xia Yan's arm had been removed. Kaguya had seen that it had already scabbed over, so why was it like this now? "How could you be so careless? How did you get this?" Kaguya looked at Xia Yan with heartache.

"Oh, it's nothing, it was my own carelessness." Xia Yan moved his arm, deliberately not letting Kaguya see it. After saying this, Xia Yan resumed his indifferent expression. It was time for him to go see a doctor.

"I'm leaving now," Xia Yan said to Kaguya and went into the infirmary. The department where Kaguya had registered was right next to Xia Yan's, and the nurses there came out to invite Kaguya in.

They didn't run into each other when they came out. "Could it be that Shirogane Miyuki lied to me and that it was Natsuhiko who saved me last night?" Kaguya muttered to herself as she walked down the street. "Even if it was Natsuhiko, it's not a big deal."

Kaguya tried to relax, but before she knew it, she had arrived at Natsuhiko's house. "It's a coincidence, absolutely a coincidence. I'll just go in and take a look and then come out." Kaguya walked to Natsuhiko's house and rang the doorbell.

The person who came out to open the door was Chika. "Chika, what are you doing here?" Kaguya was a little surprised to see that the person who opened the door was not Natsuhiko. "I came to take care of Natsuhiko. Natsuhiko was injured last night." Chika invited Kaguya to come in.

Chapter 129 Danger Zone

In fact, there was absolutely no way to escape from this dilapidated room.

However, Xia Yan was also very shrewd. When Xia Yan was finally captured, he still left clues. He was taken to a place that looked like it had been uninhabited for a long time.

"Oh my god, this place is so scary, how are we going to get through the night?"

In fact, Ram is already trying to find a way to rescue Xia Yan.

However, some preparations may be necessary.

"Some people around me and Ram discussed a plan: we must rescue Xia Yan as quickly as possible, without letting the kidnappers pay any attention."

Xia Yan has already suffered a lot of injustice here all by himself.

Ram and her team found a clue. When they first arrived at this place, Ram was actually very afraid that Xia Yan might have been hurt after staying here alone for so long.

Ram and some of her friends began to discuss countermeasures.

The plan is to start the operation late at night when everyone is quiet, because these people are keeping a close watch on us during the day.

"When Ram and his friends arrived at this place, they felt like they had been here before, but they weren't particularly familiar with it. At this point, they were able to make a clear distinction. In fact, Xia Yan felt very sad."

"But we were not able to fully understand what happened next."

When Ram first arrived at the scene, she was discovered by these people, and a conflict immediately broke out between them. However, in order to ensure Xia Yan's safety, Ram left the place according to their plan.

However, out of concern for Xia Yan's safety, Ram and the others did not succeed and eventually retreated.

"Many people around him don't really know what kind of grievances Xia Yan has suffered, but as a man, these scars are nothing."

Therefore, Ram couldn't act rashly at that time. If he clashed with the people around him, Xia Yan would definitely be threatened.

"Don't worry, there's no need to be too anxious about the current situation. When Ram first left this place, she seemed to have discovered something strange."

Ram didn't leave; he was just lying in wait nearby.
