People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

Just two hours ago, Mei gave Qiao Qiao a smartphone. With Qiao Qiao's original phone and the spare phone, he now has three phones and doesn't need a fourth one at all.

Kiana had no idea that Mei had given Qiaoqiao a phone, just like her, nor did she know the confusion in Qiaoqiao's heart. She still thought she was very generous for giving Qiaoqiao a phone.

“Normally, when I need your help, I have to come to your room, and I’m afraid Mei and Bronya will find out.” Kiana smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth, and said happily, “Now that you have this phone, you can contact me secretly without worrying about Mei and Bronya finding out!”

Qiaoqiao held the white phone that Kiana had given her, and felt that what Kiana had said sounded familiar.

When Mei gave JoJo the purple phone, she said it was to maintain secret communication and prevent Kiana and Bronya from finding out. Aren't you best friends?

Why do you always have to avoid contacting my best friend?

Qiao Qiao had heard before that four girls in a dorm could create five group chats, and now he finally understood it all. He only needed to keep in touch with Kiana and Mei, and he already had to have four cell phones.

And... Kiana, you said you were giving me a cell phone so we could stay in touch, but actually it's so you can boss me around, isn't it?

This isn't repaying me; it's clearly treating me like a slave!

Qiao Qiao couldn't help but complain inwardly, but helping Kiana would help him earn crystals, so he could only suppress his efforts to be used as a tool and put his phone into his backpack.

Seeing Qiao Qiao put the phone away, Kiana smiled happily: "Okay, from now on we'll use this phone to communicate."

"Remember! You can't tell anyone the secret between you and me, especially Mei and Bronya!"

Hearing Kiana's instructions, Qiaoqiao nodded knowingly: "I'll listen to you, Miss Kiana."

Mei had previously told Jojo something similar about keeping it a secret from Kiana and Bronya.

Jojo looked at the four cell phones in his backpack and sighed softly. Not only was he now secretly pretending to be Mei's fiancé, but he was also being secretly contacted by Kiana behind Mei and Bronya's backs...

If one day...

If Jojo's act as Mei's fiancé is exposed to Kiana, or if Mei is exposed to his secret contact with Kiana, then he's doomed.

JoJo didn't want to experience either Mei's Hokushin Ittō-ryū or Kiana's Kaslana Gunfighting Technique.

Kiana, this cheerful girl, was completely oblivious to social cues and didn't realize how complicated JoJo's feelings were. She happily said, "Hehehe...Isn't the gift I picked out pretty good!"

"However... this is just an appetizer. Mei has to go out tomorrow, so I'll cook for you myself."

When Kiana said she would cook herself, JoJo froze on the spot.

The Kaslana family has a hereditary white coat...and their cooking skills are absolutely terrible.

If you want JoJo to eat Kiana's cooking, you might as well let JoJo eat another Honkai energy fission bomb.

Just as Qiao Qiao was hesitating about refusing Kiana's offer to cook, a cell phone in his backpack suddenly rang.

Qiaoqiao glanced at the caller ID on her phone screen.

Thunder Mei Yi.

I immediately felt terrible.

Kiana heard her phone ring, but Qiaoqiao remained frozen in place. She frowned slightly and said, "Qiaoqiao, your phone is ringing, why aren't you answering it?"

Chapter 173 The Promise Between Kiana and Mei

Kiana heard Qiaoqiao's phone ringing incessantly in her backpack, but Qiaoqiao didn't answer it. She asked in confusion, "Qiaoqiao, your phone is ringing, why aren't you answering it?"

Hearing the girl's playful and sweet voice behind him, Qiao Qiao trembled with fear, his eyes fixed on the "Raiden Mei" displayed on his phone screen. If he answered the phone now, if Kiana heard Mei's voice on the other end of the call, or if Mei heard Kiana's voice on the phone, then he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

In order to prevent Kiana from knowing that she was going out to buy clothes with Mei the next day, Qiaoqiao decisively hung up on Mei's phone call.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the call, after Qiaoqiao hung up on her, Mei sat on the edge of her bed, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, feeling quite puzzled.

Qiaoqiao...why isn't he answering the phone?

That's strange... Maybe... I should try calling again?

Mei, filled with doubt, dialed Qiaoqiao's phone number again.

Qiaoqiao had just hung up the phone call and breathed a sigh of relief when Mei called again, startling Qiaoqiao so much that she quickly hid the phone behind her back.

Kiana, standing behind Qiaoqiao, heard her phone ringing incessantly and her expression darkened slightly: "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong with you? Why are you being so long-winded while answering the phone?!"

Kiana stepped forward and stuck her head out to see JoJo's caller ID.

Seeing this, Qiaoqiao immediately hung up Mei's phone call, protected the backpack containing the phone behind her back, and said with a smile, "That was just a useless advertising call, don't worry about it."

"Will the ads keep coming your way like they were before?"

Kiana walked up to JoJo and scrutinized her with a suspicious look.

Qiaoqiao felt Kiana's sharp gaze and immediately sensed a threat behind her.

"They're all credit card sales ads. I don't know where they got my phone number, they keep calling..." Qiaoqiao changed the subject, saying, "Besides that, I have a gift for you."

"Gift?!"

Upon hearing Qiaoqiao mention the gift, Kiana's eyes immediately sparkled. She remembered that Qiaoqiao had said she would give her a gift to help her pass the exam, and she immediately forgot all about the phone call she had just received.

Meanwhile, Mei, having had her call disconnected by Qiao Qiao for the second time, sighed with regret: "Qiao Qiao, he's probably busy with something urgent, that's why he didn't answer my call..."

After failing to reach Qiaoqiao's phone number the second time, Mei decided not to make any more futile attempts. She obediently put down her phone and said softly, "I hope Qiaoqiao still remembers that we're going to the tailor shop to have a suit made tomorrow..."

Meanwhile, in JoJo's room, Kiana excitedly raised her hands and cheered when she heard JoJo say that she was going to give her something, saying, "Today is such a good day! Mei just gave me a headband, and now JoJo is going to give me something else. This is wonderful!"

Upon hearing Kiana's words, Qiaoqiao was just about to take out the gift she had prepared when she suddenly remembered that Mei seemed to have picked out the same gift from Kiana at the same shopping mall as her.

Qiaoqiao saw a white cat headband in a music store and thought it would suit Kiana very well, so she used the money she earned from working as a Valkyrie to buy that white cat headband.

When Qiao Qiao looked up, he saw Kiana wearing headphones that matched him perfectly on her silver-white hair, and his face immediately darkened.

The headband that Mei gave to Kiana was the same white cat ear style that JoJo had chosen.

Could it be that Mei also thinks cat ears suit Kiana well?!

After realizing that the headband Mei bought was the same as hers, Qiaoqiao didn't dare to take out the cat ears she had carefully prepared.

If Kiana saw that the gift she gave was the same as the one Mei gave her, she would definitely realize that Jojo and Mei had gone on a date at the same shopping mall.

Just as Qiaoqiao was about to give the gift, the plan fell through because the cat ear headband clashed with Mei's gift, and she didn't know what to do.

Kiana eagerly awaited JoJo's mysterious gift. Her clear, bright blue eyes, like the sky, carefully examined JoJo's room, searching for something that looked like a gift for her, her heart filled with anticipation.

Suddenly, Kiana noticed a pink Houmu doll that only girls would like on JoJo's bed.

Wow! This is a limited edition Houmei doll that appeared in the Houmu the Movie!

Kiana saw the Houmu doll that Mei gave to Jojo and immediately hugged it to her chest, rubbing it affectionately a few times.

"Qiaoqiao, how did you know I've always wanted this limited edition Hoomei doll?!"

Seeing how much Mei liked the pink Houmu, Qiaoqiao was stunned and didn't know how to suit it, falling into deep thought.

This pink Houmu was a gift from Mei to Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao gave it to the next woman before she even had a chance to enjoy it. Isn't that a bit too much of a jerk?

But... if I don't give the pink Houmu to Kiana, she will definitely suspect the phone that JoJo just hung up. If she finds out that I'm secretly contacting Mei, she will be very angry.

Just as Qiaoqiao was hesitating between giving or not giving the doll, two options from the system appeared before him.

Kiana mistakenly believes that the Homura doll Mei gave you is a special gift you carefully prepared for her. What is your response to this?

[Option 1: This is a gift from Raiden Mei, who possesses both beauty and wisdom. No one wanted to take it from me!]

[Option 2: Kiana, this is a gift from the handsome and intelligent JoJo. Please accept it with gratitude!]

Jojo was truly reluctant to give away the gift Mei had given him, but if he didn't give it to Kiana, the only gift he could give her was a cat-ear headband...

Kiana will definitely realize that it's strange that Jojo and Mei bought gifts from the same shopping mall.

We can only choose the second option!

JoJo gritted her teeth, then smiled generously and said, "Kiana, this is a gift from the handsome and intelligent JoJo to you. Please accept it with gratitude!"

[Congratulations, host, you have received 100 crystals.]

It seems that giving gifts to girls can indeed trigger the reward mechanism of the good deeds system.

Hopefully, exchanging a beautiful doll for 100 crystals would be a worthwhile deal, since crystals can be used to draw various armor items, Divine Keys, and even Valkyries.

This pink Houmu doll is a limited edition, but it doesn't cost much.

Besides... this kind of pink, girly doll is more suitable for a cute girl like Kiana.

Kiana sat on JoJo's bed, hugging the pink Houmu doll in her arms, excitedly rubbing her face against the doll, and then stood up from the bed with a smile.

"Now that I've already given away my gift of a smartphone and received my favorite Homei doll, this trip is really timely."

Kiana smiled slightly and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back to my room to sleep."

"You better remember this," Kiana said arrogantly to JoJo before leaving, "Even if you're sleeping, you're not allowed to turn off your phone. If I can't find you, you're dead!"

Hearing Kiana's threat, JoJo felt nothing but disdain.

If it weren't for the fact that I needed to obtain crystals through the good deeds system, I wouldn't be working like a slave for you!

Sooner or later... I'll make you, my little kitten... willingly pledge your loyalty to me!

Qiao Qiao harbored ambitions and wanted to win over Kiana, but she didn't show any unusual expression on her face as she said, "Okay, I'll be on call 24 hours a day. As long as you call me, I'll be there whenever you need me."

Hearing Qiao Qiao's answer, Kiana nodded contentedly and left the room.

After getting rid of Kiana, this ticking time bomb, JoJo picked up the phone she had just hung up and breathed a sigh of relief. At least Kiana hadn't discovered that she and Mei were secretly communicating.

Then, Qiaoqiao called Mei's phone number back.

"Hey, Qiaoqiao, is that you?"

Soon, Mei's sweet and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, making JoJo, who had just had enough of Kiana's willfulness, feel completely healed.

"It's me, Mei. What can I do for you?"

"It's nothing..."

Mei, on the other end of the phone, smiled slightly and said softly, "I just wanted to remind you to come with me to the tailor shop to buy new clothes tomorrow. See you there..."

Chapter 174 Yulan Dale: My man is getting engaged to another woman?

As agreed with Mei last night to pick up the suit from the tailor shop, and also to avoid eating Kiana's devilish cooking, Qiao Qiao sneaked out of the dormitory early in the morning. Just as she arrived at the roadside, she saw a black car slowly driving towards her.

As the car window slowly rolled down, Mei, sitting in the back seat of the luxury sedan, saw Qiao Qiao and smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth: "Qiao Qiao, it seems your trip went smoothly today."

JoJo opened the car door, sat in the back seat, fastened her seatbelt, and said with a slight smile, "I sneaked out while Kiana and Bronya were there."
