Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

She was holding a cell phone, which was constantly flashing and vibrating.

Turning her gaze to the caller ID on her phone, she immediately frowned impatiently.

"Are those annoying investors again? They're so irritating, always pointing fingers. All they need to do is give us the money."

My gaze shifted to the figure clutching her phone. She had the same green hair as me, but it looked messy, and her tired face was covered with dark circles under her eyes.

The visitor was none other than Möbius's favorite assistant, the undisputed Klein.

Upon seeing her, Möbius's gaze softened considerably, and his cold expression softened into a smile.

Seeing this, Klein not only did not relax, but had a bad feeling.

"Klein, could you answer that for me?"

The cloying, coquettish voice made Klein sigh helplessly; she knew it would be like this.

"Those investors clearly don't understand anything, yet they still want to keep interfering in my experiments. Aren't they going too far?"

No, it's Dr. Möbius who's going too far.

Klein muttered a silent complaint to herself, but her expression remained unchanged.

He's receiving a lot of money but only thinking about his own research. If it were someone else, those investors would probably have withdrawn their funding long ago.

But there was nothing they could do. Dr. Mebius was just too outstanding, so outstanding that there were simply no other people who could replace him in some areas, which left those investors with no choice but to accept their bad luck.

Despite being the one paying the money, they treated Mebius with an inexplicable humility, as if begging for his attention.

"I see."

Nodding, Klein answered the phone and began to handle the situation skillfully.

The phone call ended quickly, and just as Klein was preparing to go back to her daily work, which she might not be able to finish even if she stayed up all night, her phone rang again.

"Klein~"

The cloying voice rang out again, and Klein nodded helplessly.

"I see."

However, this time when the call connected, Klein suddenly paused. Looking at the caller ID on the screen, she called out to Dr. Mebius, who was about to torture the next lab rat.

"Dr. Möbius, this is your private call."

"Ok?"

Withdrawing the hand that had reached for the cage, the peacefully sleeping mouse, unaware that it had escaped a disaster, was still happily enjoying a feast in its dream.

Taking the phone from Klein and seeing the name on the screen, Mebius immediately raised an eyebrow.

'That annoying pink-haired woman'

Her finger instinctively hovered over the hang-up button, but after thinking for a moment, she clicked the answer button instead.

Soon, a sweet voice came from the phone's speaker.

“Mebius, I…”

"I'm busy, I can't go, I don't have time, get lost!"

Before Ellie could finish speaking, Mebius retorted.

Chapter 197 The Moonlight Is Beautiful

"dududu~"

Hearing the busy tone after the call ended, Ellie's smile froze on her face.

Nangong Yu: "......"

Bronya: "..."

"Is this what you mean by a good relationship?"

Even without playing it on speakerphone, Nangong Yu could still hear the malicious voice coming from the phone.

"Ahem, Mebius is still as arrogant as ever~"

Ellie coughed twice, and the strange looks from Rain and Bronya made her cheeks feel hot. She quickly called Mebius back.

Soon, the call was connected.

"I told you I didn't have time, why are you calling?"

"Don't talk to cute girls like that, or I'll cry!"

"Whether you cry or not is none of my business! Just say what's on your mind!"

Sensing the impatience in Mebius's words, Ellie wasn't angry. She smiled happily and said, "Eden is having a party this weekend. It's been a long time since we've all gotten together, so of course we wanted to invite you."

"Eden's party...you're going too?"

"Hmm~"

"Tsk."

Smacked his lips and said with a hint of disdain, "Alright, I'll be there then. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."

"Wait a minute."

"What are you doing again?"

Ellie twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, leaned against Yu in a relaxed manner, and said, "We haven't talked in so long, don't you want to chat with me?"

"Sorry, I don't want to."

"Oh, I'm so sad~"

"Stop joking around, just tell me what's on your mind."

"Hehe, I told you this when I picked you and Eden up from the airport last time. I have a few friends I'd like to introduce to you."

Ellie shifted her body, took Yu's hand and pressed it against her face, closing her eyes contentedly as she felt the familiar warmth.

"That unlucky guy you took a liking to last time?"

Nangong Yu: "?"

No, how did he get caught in the crossfire? And shouldn't it be his good fortune to be chosen by Sister Aili?

"What unlucky guy? Mebius, don't talk nonsense. Ah Yu and I are in love."

"Alright, alright, I got it. I'll be there when the time comes."

"Okay, the location is where Eden is staying, as I told you before. Do you know how to get there? Do you need me to pick you up?"

"No need, I know the location."

After saying that, Mebius hung up the phone.

In the laboratory, Klein's eyes, which were so sleepy they could barely keep open, widened slightly at this moment.

What did she see, Dr. Möbius? He smiled.

"Doctor, you seem very happy?"

Taking the phone from Mebius, Klein asked softly.

"Am I being that obvious?"

A smile played on his lips, and as if he had discovered something interesting, Möbius narrowed his eyes.

"Ah."

"I just remembered someone I'm interested in. I'm really curious that that pink-haired girl could be liked by someone like that~"

She licked her lips, like a snake that had spotted its prey.

After saying that, Mebius continued, "Klein, I'm going out this weekend. You... never mind, you can take a day off then."

"Ok?"

At that moment, Klein thought she was hallucinating and said somewhat blankly, "A day off, no need to work?"

Looking at the almost imperceptible dark circles under Klein's eyes, Mebius suddenly wondered if he had been pushing the child too hard.

"Okay, I'll take a day off. There's no rush to deal with work when I get back."

"Really? Can I finally rest? Thank you, Doctor."

A genuine smile appeared on his face, making Möbius feel somewhat ashamed.

Just as Mebius was considering whether he should give Klein a day off every month, St. Freya and Ellie dialed Eden's number again.

"Eden, Eden, I've already made a date with Möbius~"

"Yes, I've ordered everything."

A gentle, pleasant voice came from the phone. Ellie continued, "Then let's decorate together on Saturday."

"Do you need my help?"

At this moment, Nangong Yu suddenly spoke up.

"I should be able to do that on Saturday too."

Bronya, who was lying lazily on Nangong Yu's lap and listening to Ai Li's phone call, also said something.

"Of course, it's more fun when everyone comes together."

They chatted like this until it was time to eat, and the aroma of the food finally shut the fairy up.

When everyone was seated at the dining table, they suddenly realized that one person was missing.

Where did Kiana go?

Mei looked at the empty seat next to her and said with some confusion.

This doesn't make sense. Usually, Kiana is the one who's most enthusiastic about cooking at home.

"If you're not proactive in cooking, you're out of your mind"—that's Kiana's life motto.

“I remember she came downstairs earlier and went straight back to her room.”

Nangong Yu responded.
