Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Feng Gu and Zuo Chang temporarily joined the team and stayed overnight at the temporary headquarters of Milu Qingchen. They will set off together tomorrow morning.

The temporary headquarters has limited space, and currently only one empty room remains.

After a moment's thought, Lu Zheng suddenly said, "It seems there aren't enough rooms... Brother Lu, I'll share a room with Lena, and I'll give my room to Sister Fenggu."

Lu Zheng was startled, feeling that the bunny girl was thoughtful and had a strong sense of dedication.

He said, "Okay, let's do it that way."

Zuo Chang was quite tired from traveling and socializing.

The rooms at the temporary headquarters were quite nice.

The 20-square-meter room has a bed, a table and chairs, and a bathroom with a shower.

Zuo Chang turned on the shower, but no water flowed from the showerhead.

He switched it on and off several more times before he realized it was broken.

Sky City had been uninhabited for a long time, so when Qian Wuyi developed it into a base, he must have done some renovations. However, it's normal that some rooms didn't have water supply.

Zuo Chang stepped out of the restroom, but suddenly his footing faltered.

Yaotai Mayumi!

Mayumi walked in at some point, crossed her legs, and sat on the chair directly opposite the bathroom.

Zuo Chang asked, "When did you come in? There wasn't a sound."

Mayumi remained calm: "I've received some training. Walking silently and concealing my presence are basic skills. I can even stay submerged underwater for a whole day, as long as you give me a reed tube."

"...A ninja, right?"

"you know?"

Mayumi stared wide-eyed and laughed, “How strange! There are very few people in the area who know about the Yaotai clan’s family techniques.”

You just...

I said "see inside," right?

Zuo Chang seemed to realize something. He looked intently at her face, especially the beauty mark under her eye: "She looks like her. She really does... I should have realized it from the beginning."

Zuo Chang forgot the name of the general in the village.

But Zuo Chang remembered her background story of wishing to have a child very clearly.

Mayumi is the son of God.

General Jianli dreamt for ten months, but when he woke up, he found that only one night had passed.

Suddenly, a little cutie appeared beside her pillow—it was Mayumi.

Reality and illusion intertwined, and it took General Jianli quite a while to distinguish between them.

The experience in the dream was certainly real, but her body did not change at all. This child could not have been born from her womb. Only when she looked at the beauty mark under the baby's eye did General Jianli feel a sense of closeness and familiarity.

Whether from an ethical perspective or based on emotions, her relationship with Mayumi is more like that of "similar flowers" than that of parents and children.

Mayumi felt Zuo Chang's burning gaze.

She felt no discomfort whatsoever; she was already quite used to this level of staring.

She even slightly raised her chin so that Zuo Chang could better appreciate her beauty.

What Zuo Chang said next piqued her curiosity: "Like what?"

"Nothing, what are you doing in my room?"

Mayumi was very dissatisfied with Zuo Chang's riddle-solving behavior!

But she didn't pursue the matter further, only saying, "Do you want to take a shower?"

"Yes."

"But there's no water."

"Yes."

Mayumi said, "I originally chose this room, but the bathroom had no water, so I changed it. If you want to take a shower, come to my room; the bathroom there works."

Zuo Chang said politely, "Isn't that inappropriate? Alright then!"

Is it inappropriate, or is it a good thing?

Mayumi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go."

The two walked side by side, and as they passed a room, they heard bursts of laughter coming from inside.

It's Bunny Girl and Lu Zheng, the four of them.

They were playing cards and having a great time.

Mayumi said, "This is Reina's room. Like Shikamaru, Reina comes from the superior community. She was born in 8848 and claims to be a descendant of the ruling family of 8848."

Zuo Chang sensed the sarcasm and asked, "What do you call yourself?"

"She doesn't deserve it? Her weapons and equipment are not bad, her shield is a magical artifact, which is of a certain grade; but her skills are terrible, and her basic skills are not solid. Either she lacks guidance, or she is lazy by nature! If the descendants of the ruling family of 8848 are like her... then I can only say that the community is about to be destroyed and will not last much longer!"

Zuo Chang glanced at her and said, "Take it easy, you're being too aggressive."

Mayumi turned to look at him: "Just telling the truth. Reina and I joined Deer Dawn at the same time, but in the end I became the vice-captain while she got nothing. Why?"

Zuo Chang did not answer.

Mayumi said, "Because I'm excellent. Everyone knows that. That's why Shikamaru made me the vice-captain; that's why Reina, that good-for-nothing, and the bunny girl ganged up on me."

Zuo Chang remained silent.

Too rigid and easy to break.

Mayumi didn't understand this principle.

Look at the bunny girl—

There weren't enough rooms, but Lu Zheng didn't even need to ask; he immediately volunteered to make the sacrifice, which highlighted his consideration for the greater good.

There are many people, so things are more lively.

Lu Zheng was clearly very receptive to this approach; he was currently in Lena's room, chatting and laughing with them!

In contrast, consider the true bow.

He had been isolated at the dinner table before, and not only Zuo Chang, but even the deputy commander of the Feng Group probably noticed it.

True Bow is such a proud person, she probably wouldn't learn to bow down, much less use such petty tricks. If Rokusei doesn't undergo a drastic personality change overnight, she'll likely suffer for a long time to come.

Zuo Chang estimated...

It probably won't be long before she quits on her own.

At that time, the bunny girl's plan will have succeeded!

The two entered Mayumi's room. Mayumi turned around, closed the door, hesitated for a moment, and then locked it.

A crisp "click" echoed through the room as the latch snapped shut.

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Mayumi didn't turn around, but simply asked, "Shall we take a shower first? Or should we chat for a bit?"

"I think we don't need to talk anymore."

Zuo Chang slowly approached, and Zhen Gong's body gradually stiffened.

She tried to relax as much as possible, turned her head slightly, and asked, "What are you doing... Zuo Chang, you're too close to me."

Zuo Chang looked at her, who was so close to him, and said, "You are very satisfied with my actions today."

"..."

In the phrase.

Zuo Chang's performance today certainly satisfied Mayumi.

No.

Saying I'm satisfied is too mild; you could say... I'm smitten.

The bunny girl kept focusing on the point that "Zuo Chang broke his promise," acting weak and pitiful, while everyone in the group stood on the other side, watching Mayumi being bullied.

Lu Zheng did not swiftly quell the situation; he only hoped that Mayumi would "be patient" and "be more generous," even though she was the one being bullied!

When Makoto was in the most dire situation and on the verge of exploding, Zuo Chang suddenly appeared and came to her rescue, just like a divine intervention.

Later, at the dinner party, he also showed his full support and care.

Mayumi had to admit that at that moment, she did feel...

Zuo Chang is very reliable.

She snorted coldly and said, "It's all your fault. You broke your promise, which is why I'm in this predicament. If you had come sooner, none of this would have happened!"

Zuo Chang did not answer.

He had only known Mayumi for a short time, but he already had a deep understanding of her proud yet cunning personality.

Zuo Chang believes—

The act of locking the door after Mayumi closes it is undoubtedly a hint.

He pressed closer, stopping only when he was extremely close—a test, in fact. Mayumi's current anxious yet non-rejecting attitude revealed the answer.

Zuo Chang was not a man who hesitated to act. If it had been a few days ago, he would have attacked without hesitation and plundered the girl named Yaotai Zhenyu in front of him.

but……

He now knows about Misato Asuka and also about the relationship between Mayumi and Asuka.

Zuo Chang certainly didn't mind sleeping in the same bed with Zuo Chang.

The lords of the upgraded world, those great generals who control a community, regardless of gender, all have multiple wives and concubines.

only……

No.

Sleeping together isn't the problem; the problem is honesty. There can be no secrets, and certainly no deception, otherwise things will get worse.
