Lixue and his father were eating when he asked her.
"Are you really not going to come with me to China?" Jiang asked his daughter when he stopped eating.
"No, dad, I'm still looking for them and I won't stop looking," Lixue replied to her father, she looked away and continued eating.
"You're going to have a hard time, Lixue, ask him for help," Jiang said to his daughter, he just stared at it.
Lixue looked at her father before she spoke.
"As long as I can, dad, I will look for them I will only ask for help when I can't, dad," Lixue said to her father who just kept quiet.
Lixue's father was unable to speak to what his daughter said because, if he was in her situation, he would understand it. After eating they left the hotel to go for a walk around the Texas area. Lixue thought that tomorrow she plans to do her mission.
The next day, Shuji had breakfast in the dining area with his father and sister.
"Miku-san, Papa ni hanashi ga aru nda." Shuji said to his father as he looked at them.
(Miku has something to tell you, Papa.)
"Watashi no utsukushi musume wa nan to iudeshou ka?" Raiden asked his adopted daughter with a smile.
(What will my beautiful daughter say?)
"The three of us will go to El Nido, Palawan, Papa after kuya Shuji's fashion show." Miku smiled at her father and stopped taking a bite of what she was going to eat.
"Next week?" Raiden remembered saying to his two children who looked at him.
"Yes, Papa, take a break from your work at our company," Miku replied to her father as she let go of the fork and spoon and placed it inside her plate.
"Hmm..I'll see if my schedule won't be hectic next week, I'm not sure?" Raiden said with a smile to his two children who just looked at each other.
"I hope, it's not just now that I've been with you here in the Philippines," Miku answered her father pouting her nose.
"You are ugly!" Shuji said angrily to his sister who frowned at him.
"You're not handsome and your ex is ugly, bleh..." Miku said to her brother, sticking her tongue out to face him.
"Ex? You and Erika are breaking up?" Raiden replied to his son as he turned his gaze.
"Eh..You are talkative!" Shuji was annoyed and said to his sister that look fiercely.
"Is it true, son?" Raiden asked his son as he sipped his coffee.
"Last month, Papa, we broke up.." Shuji worriedly said to his father, scratching the back of his neck.
"Why did you break up?" Raiden asked his son.
Shuji did not answer his father's question and continued eating. When they finished eating, they went up to their respective rooms. Shuji could not understand how he was feeling, he did not feel this way when they had been away from his ex-girlfriend when she went abroad.
'We're not but, I feel different.' Shuji said in his mind as he grabbed his chest.
Shuji shook his head and took a deep breath. He took a towel and entered the bathroom to take a shower.
Shuji was getting dressed when someone knocked on his bedroom door.
She shouted from outside his room.
"Brother, I'm with you in your photoshoot, I promise I won't make trouble," Miku shouted outside her brother's room.
"Hai, watashi wa anata no nozomu koto wa nani mo dekimasen." Shuji scowled at his sister.
(Yes, I can't do anything you want.)
After Shuji came out, he saw his sister standing in front of his room.
"Let's go?" Miku smiled at her brother.
They walked down the stairs and out of their house.
After some time, they also reached Sakura. The models looked at them, especially the cousins Hyo and Erika.
"Can she replace Leatrice, Shuji?" the gay manager opened in front of the two of them.
The photographer looked at them and turned around Miku, her sister hid behind him.
"Brother.." Miku softly called her brother holding the hem of his clothes.
"I will talk to her, manager Miku will only be in the Philippines for a few weeks," Shuji replied to his gay manager.
"Miku? The Philippines?" the gay manager said as he stared at Miku.
"She and Leatrice look alike when I look at her from the side when the front is far away." the photographer commented.
"Dairinin ni naritai nodesuga, moderu no keiken wa arimasu ka?" Shuji asked his sister as he pulled her next to her.
(Do you want to be a proxy and do you have the experience to be a model?)
"Mochiron onisan, demo, watashi wa hitomishiri taipuna ndesu," Miku said softly to her brother staring at the people in front of them.
(Of course, brother, but, I'm shy type,)
"She is willing?" the gay manager just looked at them.
"Yes, she is willing to go back together tomorrow for the last practice ramp," Shuji said to his gay manager that his sister pinched him.
"Liar!" Miku said to her brother as Shuji rubbed her stung.
"To get rid of your nervousness and fear in this kind of event where you will face people, use this first," Shuji said softly to his sister, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her to sit in the empty seat.
Lixue, on the other hand, she told her father that she was going somewhere, and he agreed to stay in her hotel room.
"Fly I know it's your first time in Texas use your wings to get where you're going, bring a change of clothes where no one else will see you." Jiang approaches his daughter this renegade.
Lixue turned around and smiled at what her father said. She opened the window and peered down and on both sides.
Lixue grimaced when she felt her wing spontaneously come out from behind her. His father's bodyguard left as ordered.
Lixue looked like gold when her wings came out.
"I'm leaving, dad I'll be home in the afternoon because I'm also going to see someone the godfather is referring to, that is okay?" Lixue asked his father before she took off.
"Yes, I saw someone I knew here at the hotel when I entered here, the young man I was talking to, he is the son of my former business partner," Jiang replied to his daughter.
Lixue just nodded and flew away from the hotel.
In the Sakura Modeling Agency, Shuji's manager approaches him. Shuji looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
"Can we try her in the photoshoot and ramp with Hyo." the gay manager approached as he sniffed Miku.
"It is okay for you, Miku to now experience photoshoot and rampage?" Shuji called his sister and she turned to him.
(Miku-san, ima kara satsuei taiken shite abarete mo daijobudesuka?)
"Koko ni wa fuku o motte inai nodesuga, nani o kireba ideshou ka?" Miku answered her brother where she was going.
(I have no clothes here, what should I wear?)
"What does it say?" the gay manager asked Shuji.
"She said, she can't wear anything here, the manager is skeptical," Shuji said to the gay manager.
"Erika, can you lend her your clothes?" the gay manager asked Erika.
"Oh?" Erika said turning to them.
"I said, lend Miku your clothes today so we can see her performance so tomorrow she knows what to do, I'll talk to our designer to oversize the dress she will sew." the gay manager replied.
Erika followed and Shuji made his sister follow. When Erika took Miku to the dressing room, she just pointed to her cabinet and the bathroom.
"Tema no fuku wa shitte imasu yo ne? Anata ga kite iru mono, aruiwa watashitachi ga kite iru mono." Erika said flatly as she sat on the couch.
(You know the theme clothes, don't you? What you wear or we wear.)
"Ashita kite iku fuku ga zenbude wanainode, atode Shuji ni kiite mimasu." Miku said she bought something to wear when she opened the cabinet she pointed to.
(Not all the clothes I will wear tomorrow I don't know, I will just ask Shuji later.)
"Kare no jinsei ni oite anatahadaredesu ka? Datte, anata wa kare no chikaku ni iru nodesukara." Erika asked as she looked at Miku.
(Who are you in his life? Because, you are close to him.)
"Nazenara, kanojo no jinsei ni oite watashi wa tokubetsudakaradesu." Miku said meaningfully to Erika before leaving her and entering the bathroom to change her clothes.
(Because, I am special in her life.)
Erika followed Miku's gaze into the bathroom. They went out immediately and the people there looked at them.
"Shut up, Akatsuki your—saliva and you, Hyo!" Shuji looked at the two friends next to him.
"How old is Miku?" Akatsuki asked his friend.
"20+, why? If you're planning something, I'm telling you not to be my sister." Shuji whispered to his friend.
"Drick and Leatrice's bodyguard," Hyo said and pointed to someone at the end of the door.
Shuji looked at what Hyo was pointing at. Drick just waved at him and Lixue's bodyguard just stared at him. Shuji just averted his eyes and called his sister. They have already started photoshoot and ramped up on the mock stage.
"Perfect!" the photographer smiled at them all.
"Isn't it your sister's first time?" one of his fellow models asked Shuji.
"Yes, why?" Shuji said as he looked at his sister who was talking to the gay manager.
"It's like a pro if you take a photoshoot and ramp." the photographer approached them who was talking to Shuji.
"Inheritance from me? Haha! She picks up quickly so it's not obviously new." Shuji answered the photographer.
Shuji called his sister and the two of them said goodbye to the people there. Erika's gaze followed them and Akatsuki took his arm on her shoulder.
Lixue was sitting on the roof of the mansion of Gayag Mansion, just observing the surroundings. A man and an assistant looked up at him.
'Almost saw me!' Lixue said in her mind, just crawl down and enter one of the rooms.
