Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Oh dear, the poisoned apple's power is too strong! Sleeping Beauty's resistance has failed! She desperately needs a prince who's 1.8 meters tall, has short black hair, and is named Rain, to kiss her awake. Is there any kind prince passing by who can save Sleeping Beauty?"

After saying that, Ellie pouted at the top of her head again.

With a slight chuckle, Nangong Yu shook her head, no longer hesitating, and lowered her head to touch her lips to hers.

The kiss under the setting sun was tender and lingering, until only a sliver of the setting sun remained on the horizon, and only then did Ellie release him with a sense of satisfaction.

"You're quite a difficult sleeping beauty to save."

Licking her slightly reddened lips, Nangong Yu said with a smile.

"Of course! Sleeping Beauty is the cutest girl in the world. How could a simple kiss possibly wake her up!"

Ellie stood with her hands on her hips, looking very proud.

"Alright, alright, Sleeping Beauty still has the final say on everything, right?"

"Ah Yu, you're getting more and more insightful. You truly are my dear older sister!"

On a chilly early spring evening, I put my coat over Ellie's white dress, wrapping her up warmly, before we strolled home together.

"Didn't I send you a text message telling you to go back first?"

Walking down the street, I watched as Ellie tucked her little hands into the sleeves of her coat, raised them, gently sniffed the coat on her wrists, and then happily squinted her eyes.

"Because I want to go home with Ayu~"

As she spoke, she leaned in, skillfully took his arm, and pressed her cheek against his shoulder.

Blinking her eyes, Ellie asked expectantly, "How was it? Weren't you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy to have Sister Ellie with me."

"Right, right~"

She laughed happily, her sweet smile like a blooming flower, leaving him stunned.

"The thought of Ah Yu having to go home alone, walking alone on the road, her heart breaking, crying and making a scene, waaaaah, makes me feel so sorry for her~"

thump.

Ellie got a tap on the head.

Are you possessed by some kind of scumbag fox? And you're even pink-haired!

He was inwardly complaining, but when he looked at the mischievous girl next to him who started acting silly after just a few serious words, and noticed her tearful look as if she had been hit and was asking for comfort, all his anger vanished.

The raised hand came down, and the hand being held also interlocked with the close hand.

In the last rays of the setting sun, the shadows of the two people leaning together gradually lengthened until the sky darkened and they could no longer be distinguished from each other.

......

"So slow! Hurry up, we're just waiting for you guys!!"

As soon as I got home and opened the door, I heard Kiana's somewhat impatient voice.

Feeling the hands that had been holding her all the way being released, Nangong Yu bent down with a hint of regret to change her shoes.

"Brother, Sister Aili, welcome home~"

The young cook, Xi'er, was holding a large spoon in her hand, and it seemed that she had rushed over from the kitchen as soon as she heard the door open.

"Wow~ Seele is so cute~"

After changing her shoes, Alice couldn't resist wanting to hug her, but Seele quickly dodged her.

"Sister Ellie, your apron is dirty."

"Alright, alright, since Seele isn't available, let's see which pretty girl is willing today..."

"Stop fooling around, it's time to eat."

Ellie was hit on the head again. She covered her head, puffed out her cheeks, and followed Yu into the entrance hall.

The restaurant was already packed; it seemed everyone was waiting for them to come back.

After washing up, Nangong Yu and Ai Li took their seats.

Just then, he noticed a small, quiet figure and immediately smiled and said, "Cilin, you're back from home?"

"Ah."

He picked up a piece of bread and took a big bite, chewing it as if he was about to bite someone.

"What's wrong with Sirin?"

Seeing that something was wrong, Nangong Yu quickly leaned close to Bronya's ear and whispered a question.

"Who knows? She's been like this ever since she came back this afternoon."

"That's really weird."

"Maybe it's her period."

"No, she didn't arrive in the last few days."

"How do you remember it so clearly?"

"..."

No one else heard Nangong Yu and Bronya's whispers. Kiana was obediently keeping her head down, focusing intently on eating her rice.

Kiana, the culprit who framed Sirin, saw her seemingly unbreakable alliance with Sirin crumble in less than a week.

Sensing the heavy atmosphere, a fierce battle was bound to break out that night. With a premonition in her heart, Nangong Yu kept her eyes closed and pretended to know nothing, keeping herself out of the situation.

Hey.

Just then, Nangong Yu's phone suddenly rang.

Who would be sending him emails so late?

Frowning in confusion, Nangong Yu put down her chopsticks and took out her phone to look at the screen.

Upon opening her email and seeing the sender's name, Nangong Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Is it about destiny, or is it about healing under the moon?

Thinking this, he opened the email, his eyes widened slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

The negotiations were only completed two days ago, but the gene adjustment quota has been sent over so quickly. It seems that Destiny's efficiency is quite high.

"What are you looking at so happily?"

Bronya and Seele curiously came closer, and Nangong Yu didn't cover them up, showing them off openly.

"Ah!" Seele covered her mouth, and Bronya's eyes widened slightly. Then, the two of them looked at the somewhat confused Ellie, who couldn't help but ask curiously, "Ayu, Ayu, what is that?"

I'll tell you after I finish eating.

This topic doesn't seem suitable to be discussed at the dinner table, so after a slight reassurance, Nangong Yu put down her phone and continued eating.

Aside from a slightly tense atmosphere at Celine's place, dinner was still a lively affair.

After they finished eating, before the ever-curious Ellie could come closer, Nangong Yu waved to her.

"Sister Airi, and Kaguya, come with me for a moment."

"Does Seele need to stay with your brother?"

"I can be with you."

Bronya and Seele's voices rang in her ears, and Nangong Yu casually waved her hand: "It's okay, let me talk to Sister Aili."

At that moment, Airi, who was also clinging to Kaguya, walked over as Kaguya looked somewhat helpless.

"What on earth is going on? It's so mysterious! I'm so curious, so very curious!"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you right away."

Kaguya seemed to realize something, and her originally calm eyes suddenly turned fiery.

He led the two girls to his bedroom, and before he could even speak, he heard Ellie's feigned shyness: "Oh, are you planning to do this with two girls together? That's quite bold. Although I've never tried it before, if Ayu wanted to..."

As she spoke, Ellie even gave him a flirty wink.

"I really want to... cough cough, but I have other things to do tonight."

After a pause, Nangong Yu's expression gradually became serious. He pulled Ai Li to sit down in a chair and then handed her a pre-printed document.

"It might be hard to explain if I just say it directly. Before we talk, I hope you can take a look at this first."

"This is?"

"Sister Aili will know once she takes a look."

Without saying much, Nangong Yu pulled Huiye to sit on the edge of the bed.

Ellie nodded, and the room fell silent, save for the sound of papers turning.

Sensing her husband's nervousness, Kaguya gently took his hand.

To prolong life.

Something that most people would find hard to refuse.

But he really wasn't sure about Ellie.

She truly loves life and everything in the world, and time cannot stop her.

In Nangong Yu's imagination, even when Sister Aili gets old, she will still be the kind of person who would get her friends together to hold a wheelchair racing competition. Even when she passes away, she will try her best to turn her funeral into a comedy that everyone can laugh at.

After all, isn't that fun?

Chapter 186 Ellie: I want to elope with Ah Yu!

In the room where you could hear a pin drop, time ticked by, second by second.

Ellie sat in the chair, initially with a slight smile on her lips, but gradually her expression became serious, and she read the document more and more slowly, until it even seemed as if she was reading it word by word.

The document wasn't thick, but Nangong Yu felt that Sister Ai Li looked at it for a very long time before stopping, placing the paper on her lap, and looking up at him. He didn't know if it was because she was nervous or something else.

"Sister Ellie?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Nangong Yu tentatively called out.
