Nina stupidly hides under the table. Good thing, the round table is covered with red cloth. No one could notice her underneath the table. She hits her head for acting childish in front of Harry. Also because she doesn't want Steven to see her.

"Stupid, Nina!" It embarrasses her. She has no face to show to Harry. It was looked like she was hiding for what she committed. But it was not her reason, and she doesn't plan for Harry to take the blame either!

'Ah! What would Harry think of me now?' Nina heaves a silent sighed. 

She heard the wooden staircase creaks from Stevens's footsteps. She covers her face, praying that Steven won't notice anything.

'What should I do now?' Nina is pondering within herself when she remembers something.

'Oh, no! My bag!'

She left her GUCCI bag on the couch. 'Stupid, Nina! What now?' She sighed hopelessly and sobs inside her head.

Meanwhile, Steven is on the last steps of the staircase. It shocked him to realize that the vase fell on the floor is an ancient jar. Harry is picking up the pieces as they cannot just sweep it away and dump it in the trash bin.

How much it cost in the auction? He won't try to imagine it.

"What the—!? What have you done?" Steven asked Harry, who was occupying himself picking up the pieces. He sounded like teasing his twin brother. Harry only glanced at him but didn't say a word. He continued picking up the pieces, ignoring him instead. "Hey, are you not going to tell our grandfather?"

"Just shut up and help to clean the floor. You are noisy. I was sleeping peacefully in here." 

"Wait! Are you blaming me? Is it my fault now?"

"Why are you looking for me, anyway?" Harry quickly changed the subject.

"I'm going to ask you to drive around the capital. Also, let's invite Nina!" 

Harry paused from picking up the broken jar. Steven waited for his twin brother to spurt out the word, but Harry remained silent. 

"So? What do you think?" 

"I don't know. I was thinking more about how to explain it to our grandfather." 

"Hm. How does it happen?"

"Obviously, a Ming Dynasty jar accidentally fell on the floor." 

"Oh… accidentally? Like fell on its own?" Steven asked like a dumb, processing a scene inside his head.

Meanwhile, Nina is pressing her lips. She knew Harry meant his words for her. He was sleeping peacefully here on the third floor, but she suddenly climbed up, which she usually stays on the second floor. 

This floor is exclusive for great-grandfather Shang! It was more like his office. And because the pressure overwhelmed her after she quarreled with Lilian. Unconsciously, she took the stairs toward this floor. Now, this happens! 

And as for the twin, Steven helps Harry to gather the broken jar when he sees a female bag on the couch. He curled his forehead. 

Who could have left her bag? 

Impossible that Harry brought someone in the library? 

They just arrived secretly this morning to surprise their great-grandmother. Last summer, they were preparing for a college entrance examination, the reason they weren't able to come home.

Steven is about to pick up a small piece of a broken jar near the table when he noticed a hem of skirts under the table.

Someone is hiding underneath the table!?

Steven glanced at Harry. His twin brother yawned. He looks sleepy, for real. And he must have woken up from the sound of the broken jar.

Could it be that the person hiding is the real culprit? 

A silly smile, playing on Steven's lips as he had a naughty idea. He asked Harry, "So, how will you explain it to grandfather, Harry?"

"About what?" 

"About the broken jar?" Steven went on, "Do you know what punishment grandfather will give to the one who broke it?" Steven, playing a grin on his face.

Harry glanced at the table, he shook his head. Nina's skirt could be seen outside. No wonder his twin brother sounded silly and beaming right now. 

"It was just an accident," Harry mumbles lazily. He was yawning once again, drying the bead of tears coming out from his eyes. He's sleepy until now. He did not get enough sleep on the plane as he has to study the advanced lesson he took.

"Hm. So, we will tell grandfather it's an accident? Then I'm in!" 

"What?" At first, Harry doesn't understand his twin brother. But as what he sees. Steven seemed to have the will to take the blame. Is he guessing that it was Nina who accidentally broke the jar? 

Anyway, it wasn't on purpose. He believes it was just a pure accident. Besides, the horror that registered on Nina's face is actually cute. He couldn't point her out who broke the jar. 

Ah… Harry shook his head. Maybe he and Steven played it along and took the blame. It will be only a small thing.

"All right. We collected most of the broken pieces. Let's tell grandfather about what happened," said Harry. 

Nina heard the twin's footsteps leaving on that floor. She gathered her courage and decided. 

"Wait!" 

She finally showed up. Harry and Steven turned around, gaping at her earnestly. Nina blushed. She prayed for the floor to eat her, but she cannot lie and let other people take the blame because of her carelessness and overreaction to find Harry sleeping on the floor, and she wants to avoid seeing Steven.

Last time, they already saved her from embarrassment, in which she had no chance to thank them.

Nina swallowed the lump in her throat. She told Harry and Steven. "Let me tell grandfather about what happened. I am the one who broke it." Nina bravely admits her crime. 

"Are you sure?" asked Steven. His eyes glued at Nina. She was too beautiful in her dress. It could compare to a conservative dressing, but Nina looks elegant. "Ahem! Well, we could actually tell grandfather that Harry and I were playing ball, and you suddenly arrived. I didn't catch the ball, and it flew toward the jar." 

Nina widened her eyes. Blushed, upon remembering the last time. She wants to smack Steven for being such a teaser! She has already forgotten that incident!

Nina frowned, she told the twin. "I don't want to lie to anyone." 

Steven laughed, but Harry elbowed him and shot a glare to shut up.. Nina already looked embarrassed and was too rude of him to tease her like this.
