In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

Even if it's just imitating a kitten, right? I felt wronged at the time, but looking back, it's actually quite funny...

However, before Xu could respond, the door opened first.

"Oh my, has Brother Xu Shi returned?"

A small head with long white hair peeked out and greeted her with a smile, "Should I say welcome home...? Huh?"

Seeing Gu Yi's intimate gestures towards Xu Shi, Xia Ke'an froze on the spot.

"Hey?"

Gu Yi also let out a sigh, staring blankly at the white-haired loli for a long while, as if her brain had short-circuited.

Then she blinked.

Then she turned to look at Xu Shi.

"So... I've only been away from you for a little over two weeks, and you already have a child?!"

Miss Black Rabbit, having regained her senses, let out a squeak like a groundhog.

……

ten minutes later.

The people sitting on the sofa then understood the whole story.

Of course, this only applies to Gu Yi and Xia Wuyou. They genuinely didn't know that the other person also lived in Xu Shi's house. Especially since Gu Yi had been staying at "Feather Pen" all this time, and Little Black Rabbit had been living in the basement... it was difficult to find any trace of her in this house.

Interestingly, the two of them actually knew about each other; they were colleagues at the company... Thinking about it this way, Xu Shi really is a bastard, taking advantage of his position to sexually harass his female subordinate, right?

The worst part is that you not only sneak in, but you even bring it home, and the most amazing thing is that you all bump into each other... ugh...

"You've moved in! How's it going?"

The person involved, as always, was shameless. Not only was he not embarrassed by the scene, but he also asked in a low voice as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

He has never been secretive about this. The world shouldn't be so small, right? He originally planned to come back and let everyone get acquainted first, but who knew it would turn out to be such a humorous start.

"...Is everything alright?"

Xia Wuyou pouted. What could she say? She thought there was only Su Lin besides herself, but who knew there was also Gu Yi? This... this...

She even specifically chose a room very close to Xu Shi.

However, she quickly calmed down. To be honest, Xia Wuyou was not unprepared for this. How could someone like Xu Shi only be interested in her... right? At least in her mind, there was also Director Su.

Thinking about it this way, one or two doesn't seem to make that much of a difference?

"So, we'll be roommates from now on, Manager Gu?"

Thinking of this, she sighed inwardly and took the initiative to extend her hand to Miss Black Rabbit.

"Haha, yeah."

Gu Yi shook hands with her stiffly. Her thoughts were actually similar to Xia Wuyou's. So Xu Shi really is a big jerk, right? You actually brought someone else back, humph!

Now she regrets choosing a basement apartment and has no recollection of why she made that decision.

Unfortunately, Xia Wuyou had already taken the good spot, so she was inexplicably a little annoyed.

"From now on... let's get along well, Team Leader Xia."

Miss Black Rabbit gave a forced smile.

"It's Manager Xia."

Xia Wuyou returned the smile and casually mentioned something.

At first glance, the two seem to get along quite well, but some things can't be resolved by simply shaking hands; in reality, they're both holding back their anger...

Xu Shi, watching from the side, wanted to laugh. What was this? Was she using her position to assert her authority? After all, Xia Wuyou didn't really care about herself, so it was hard to imagine that she had any other intention than to mention it to the unsuspecting Gu Yi.

How childish you guys are.

Some people are completely unaware that they are caught in a vicious cycle, and instead watch with great interest.

After all, if you think about it the other way around, in the original story, these were all Shen He's wings? Maybe if they were put together, it would look like this... So, I guess I'm starting to enjoy the protagonist's treatment now, right?

Hey, isn't this also a kind of worldline correction?

"Brother Xu Shi is a womanizer."

Xia Ke'an sat down next to him, handed him a slice of watermelon, her tone filled with slight dissatisfaction.

Of course, she's Xia Wuyou's aunt, so she'd definitely have to support her niece.

It's fine for me to sabotage a young couple's relationship, but it's not okay for others to do it, regardless of whether you were there first or not.

"So, nobody's taking care of this little one?"

Miss Black Rabbit pointed at the white-haired loli, "What do you know at such a young age? Don't talk nonsense."

"Who is the little one?"

Xia Ke'an glared at her, "I'm old enough to be your mother, okay?"

"But you..."

Gu Yi gestured with her hand, her expression full of disdain and sarcasm, "That's enough."

It would be hard for her to find someone younger than her, and now that she finally has one, she has no choice but to show off.

No matter how big you are, you just look tiny.

She even thought Xia Ke'an was very cute, with a delicate and exquisite appearance that was hard not to like... "Come here, come here, let your big sister give you a hug?"

Xia Ke'an didn't appreciate it and childishly bit her.

"...You were born in the Year of the Dog, right?"

Miss Black Rabbit was taken aback, but immediately retaliated.

The two quickly got into a fight.

Xu Shi enjoyed watching the show and eating melons.

Xia Wuyou sighed helplessly, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to bury her childish aunt.

Hey?

It seems we've forgotten someone, haven't we?

"...I'll go make dinner."

Director Su, who was watching all this quietly, spoke in a low voice, but it sounded like he was gritting his teeth.

As I write about my parents, I get a bit sentimental, mainly because I haven't been home for several years due to the pandemic... Sigh...

Fortunately, I earned a little money from writing this month, so I bought my mom a bag for Mother's Day, hehehe.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 156 Here's a chance for you to vent, Miss Su Lin

Sorry, I went out drinking with friends yesterday... It's been so long since I've had a heavy drinking session. I slept from six or seven in the morning until past ten at night (around ten in China), and only recently woke up. Now I'm totally messed up my sleep schedule...

As a result, I didn't even write a leave request... I was so confused that I didn't even remember that. My head still hurts. Sorry, sorry.

I'll catch up on what I missed yesterday in the next couple of days; I'll take a break today.

Thank you all for your concern in the group. I'm not worried about not being found out if I go missing anymore. But the things you're concerned about are so strange—why are you all asking if my butt is okay? My butt's hanging from a tree...

-

Su Lin's current state of mind can only be described in one word.

Angry.

She now only felt that she was a bit too slow to realize things. If she had made things clear to the young master earlier, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way... Anyway, the current situation is quite absurd. She didn't think anything of it when Xu Shi planned to bring Gu Yi to live at home, but by the time she realized something was wrong, Xia Wuyou and her niece couldn't stop her anymore.

The worse thing is that even though she knows it, she still finds it difficult to talk about it.

Or perhaps she was worried? She could no longer deceive herself; it was indeed because of what happened in her childhood, coupled with the changes that had occurred recently, that her gratitude and loyalty were gradually fermenting and turning sour.

But what about the young master's attitude towards her? It might be better if you don't say anything, but if you do and he doesn't reciprocate, you won't even know how to get along with him. She's different from people like Gu Yixia and Wuyou. When they confront each other, they probably won't be bothered even if there's no result, but she can't be that open-minded. They're fundamentally very different.

So she could only sulk and fume, just like an internal circulation loop... What else could she do? She could only try to be the same as before, to be a good housekeeper and prepare the dinner in front of her first.

Perhaps sensing that Director Su was somewhat displeased, the previously noisy living room suddenly quieted down—Gu Yi and Xia Ke'an froze in their hair-pulling, while Xia Wuyou tactfully pulled her embarrassing aunt aside.

They were aware of the situation; after all, they were essentially living under someone else's roof, weren't they? Whether Xu Shi cared or not was one thing, but Su Lin certainly couldn't completely ignore it either; being too overbearing would only annoy people.

What's interesting is that, without knowing the truth, they all reached a certain consensus...

This woman must have been Xu Shi's first wife; in ancient terms, she would be considered his first wife, and she certainly deserved the respect due to her.

"Um...do you want to help?"

Xia Wuyou asked tentatively.

"No, I can do it alone."

Su Lin shook her head, her tone revealing even more displeasure.

She was somewhat aware of these people's ulterior motives, and in theory, such an attitude should have been very pleasing... but the reality was not so pleasant.

What others think is one thing, but only Su Lin herself knows the truth. Others treat her as the first, but that's not really the case. Because of a non-existent fact, others have developed awe towards her, and she doesn't know whether to be angry or happy.

Ok……

In any case, she still had a good deterrent effect. Gu Yi and the others immediately turned into obedient children, sitting on the sofa and showing their ladylike demeanor. If you didn't know better, you would think it was an afternoon tea party for high-society ladies.

By the way, where is Xu Shi?

Xu was watching a play.

Dinner was all sour and spicy, so sour it made my teeth fall out, and so spicy I couldn't sit still.

……

The eerie atmosphere of peace lasted until midnight.

After what happened during the day, Miss Black Rabbit tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Even her favorite game now seemed boring.
