Ursa didn't want the Young Madam to worry about her because of what happened last night, so she didn't mention it. But thinking about how she saw Master Zhou come out of the Young Madam's room this morning... Ursa hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking, "Um...Aurelia, last night, Master Zhou he..."

Just mentioning Viscount Zhou gave Aurelia a headache, and she understood Ursa's misunderstanding. "Nothing happened at all. Looks like I really can't drink recklessly anymore." She rubbed her temples, feeling the pounding headache.

But it wasn't a total loss; at least her alcohol tolerance had indeed improved.

Having a low alcohol tolerance really is a problem; there'll be no escaping drinking in the future.

"M-Master Zhou." Ursa looked, surprised, at Viscount Zhou who had arrived uninvited. Remembering last night's events, she still felt a bit awkward, so she turned to the kitchen to get him some food.

This wasn't the first or second time he'd come over to mooch a meal. Ursa was already used to it. He even knew the entry code here, and as long as he was in town, he would always come over to eat breakfast.

Viscount Zhou glanced at Ursa, who was deliberately avoiding him, and said nothing. Looking as laid-back as ever, he pulled out the chair opposite Aurelia and sat down.

Aurelia could sense the odd tension between them, so she glanced back and forth at the two of them a few times, but didn't ask anything.

After finishing breakfast, Aurelia returned to her bedroom. Ursa was washing dishes, and halfway through, Viscount Zhou walked in. Still looking every bit the young master, he stared at her for a while, then suddenly spoke, "I was drunk last night, so I said some things I shouldn't have. Don't take it to heart."

Not waiting for Ursa to respond, he turned and left as soon as he finished.

Ursa opened her mouth in surprise. She hadn't expected Viscount Zhou to take the initiative to explain. For someone of his status to say this was already not easy—it meant he realized his mistake.

Maybe Master Zhou isn't as bad as he seems. Maybe it's because too many women approach him with intentions, so he thinks all women are up to no good.

"You Are My Star" was entering its final stages, and Aurelia's workload eased up. It was a film, and the original plan set by Sawyer was to finish shooting in more than half a year. But thanks to Aurelia's efficient filming, it took just over three months to wrap up.

In the afternoon, Aurelia got a call from Daisy. This girl seemed really interested in her, insisting on teaching her how to play piano. After Aurelia refused, Daisy went to Albert to get Aurelia's phone number, probably planning to take a roundabout approach.

This time, she called just to invite her over for dinner at her place.

"Your home?" Aurelia knew the siblings had settled down in Q City, but she'd never once visited their house.

Thinking about it, this would be her first time visiting their new home. What gift should she bring?

Aurelia went to the flower shop and ordered a bouquet. Remembering there wasn't anything for heating water in M Nation, and guessing they probably didn't have a kettle, she bought one as well.

"Hmph, you show up this late—I thought you weren't coming." Daisy huffed in her usual tsundere way when she saw Aurelia, but her eyes betrayed her as she eyed the things in Aurelia's hands.

Not flowers, but... some strangely-shaped thing.

"What's that?"

"Electric kettle." Aurelia didn't think much of it—she carried it straight into the kitchen, filled it with water, and hit the switch. Glancing back, she caught Daisy watching curiously, eyebrows raised, a playful smile tugging at her lips.

Daisy noticed Aurelia was sizing her up, but still kept up her proud act, lifting her chin and saying haughtily, "Why'd you bring something like that to our house?"
