Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Won't this sudden announcement scare them?"

Bronya chimed in, standing next to Seele.

"Oh, don't worry, Möbius will definitely love this surprise!"

A playful voice rang out from the other side, and at the same time, a soft, gentle touch quietly settled behind Nangong Yu.

"?"

He remembered that he was the only one here, and his hand subconsciously reached back, immediately touching something warm and soft.

"Hmm~"

Accompanied by warm breaths, suppressed moans rang in my ears.

"Kiana? Why are you running behind me?"

"I...I was just curious! And, take your hand off me right now!!"

Neither of them dared to speak too loudly. Nangong Yu had just put his hand down and hadn't said anything more when he heard Ellie's voice: "Everyone, pay attention, Mebius is coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard the doorbell ring.

"Please come in~"

Eden leaned close to the microphone by the door and said something softly. Then, she unlocked the door and quickly retreated to the back.

The door creaked open, letting light flood the living room once more. The blinding light made everyone in the room squint. As he entered the foyer, Mebius, who had just been wondering why the living room was so dark, soon heard a sound coming from beside him.

bang bang bang~

A series of not-so-loud fireworks sounds rang out, followed by countless small ribbons of color falling from the sky, covering Möbius from head to toe.

Happy birthday, Mebius!

Standing directly in front, Ellie held a golden crown in her hands and smiled as she placed it on Mebius's head.

The sudden action startled Mebius for a moment. It wasn't until Mei turned on the living room lights, Gretsch quickly pulled the curtains aside, and Eden pushed the cake cart over, singing "Happy Birthday," that she came to her senses and glared at Alicia, who was smiling happily.

Doing unnecessary things.

Thinking this to herself, she still wore the same displeased expression as Ellie, but looking at the big cake, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

She almost forgot her own birthday, but the feeling of being cared for by her friends (except for a certain pink-haired one) was actually quite nice. Although she could have wasted more time on this than tormenting another mouse, she was already here, so playing with these guys wasn't a bad idea.

Only Ellie and Eden were singing in the room; the others, not knowing Mebius yet, simply acted as the atmosphere-setter.

Soon, the birthday song ended, and Eden pushed the cake to Möbius: "Quickly blow out the candles and make a wish!"

Jiu: "Yeah, yeah, remember not to say it out loud, okay? Wishes that are spoken aloud won't come true. Oh, and you can tell me secretly, okay?"

4. "You wish!"

After saying something to Alicia, Mebius turned his gaze to the cake. Before he even opened his mouth, he noticed the surface of the cake, which was decorated with a painting made of light green buttercream.

Judging from the outline of the painting, it should be a human head, but after staring at it for a long time, Mebius still couldn't figure out what it was. It wasn't until she noticed the ear in the painting and saw that familiar four-leaf clover earring that her face darkened.

Hiss. "Who drew this?"

3. Although she asked the question, she already had a vague answer in her heart.

San: "It's me! How about that? Pretty awesome, right?"

Lin put her hands on her hips and said proudly.

(5) "Hehe, impressive, really impressive..."

With a cold laugh, Mebius blew out the candle in a few seconds, made his wish, and then picked up a knife and fork to completely destroy the image that looked like it had been infected by the Delilah virus.

Soli exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?! I haven't even taken a picture yet! It's so cute, it's such a shame to ruin it!"

"You should relearn aesthetics, Alicia."

"Nonsense, that's because you, Mebius, don't know how to appreciate art!"

N glared at Mebius angrily, but soon burst out laughing. She quickly walked up behind Mebius and pushed her towards the banquet area.

"Come on, Möbius, come and see the birthday party we've prepared for you!"

"Don't push me, I can walk by myself!"

"Oh, don't be so shy! There are lots of new friends here I'd like to introduce you to, so remember to make a good impression!"

The banquet began with the arrival of the most important figures.

Of course, with so many people present, the first step is naturally to introduce ourselves.

First came Bronya, Seele, Kaguya, then Kiana and Sirin. Perhaps because Mebius was in a good mood today, they were quite accommodating, speaking with smiles and gentler tones. This moved Ellie to tears, as if her own child had finally grown up, which infuriated Mebius.

Then, when it came to Mei, Mebius looked at her thoughtfully for a moment, until Mei became a little uncomfortable before saying, "You are Raiden Ryoma's daughter?"

"Huh? You know me?"

Upon hearing this, Mei's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, I remember you, you were with Raiden Ryoma at the banquet two months ago."

"Two months ago... Oh, it was that time!"

Upon hearing Mebius mention it, Mei quickly remembered it as well.

She went home for a while and accompanied her father to a banquet that she heard was quite important. She had no interest in that kind of socializing, so she just gave a few perfunctory replies and then went to eat alone in a corner while making a phone call to Xier and the others.

Therefore, she truly had no recollection of Mebius.

Seeing Mei's embarrassment, Mebius waved his hand dismissively: "I also really hate those kinds of social engagements. Ever since that one time, I've had my assistant go instead."

"I'm sorry, but it's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Möbius."

After hearing about Mebius's experiences from Bronya, Mei had a great deal of admiration for her.

"Okay, next up is little Gretchen, come here quickly~"

"Gresh?!"

Upon hearing Alicia call out the name, Mebius immediately repeated it in surprise.

Soon, Gretchen, who had been deliberately hiding, peeked out with her cute little head. When she noticed that Mebius was looking at her, she immediately jumped out and ran over happily.

"Gresh, what are you doing here?"

Gretchen's mother, Blanca, was once a member of the Möbius Laboratory, so she was naturally quite familiar with Gretchen. Before Blanca left the laboratory, this lovely girl was the darling of the entire lab, and even now, Danzhu and Cangxuan still mention her from time to time.

It was quite a surprise for her to run into them here.

"I came here to learn how to draw comics..."

Greta threw herself into Möbius's arms and called out with a smile, "Grandma Möbius~"

Möbius: "?"

The smile on her face faltered.

Without a second thought, Mebius turned his gaze to Alicia, whose face was now terrifyingly dark.

Shhhhhhh~

Whistling, Ellie put her hands behind her back, acting as if it was none of her business. With Gretsch holding her, Mebius couldn't move around much and could only grit her teeth in anger, silently adding another insult to the pink-haired girl in her heart.

"Is Grandma Mebius unhappy? But my little sister Alicia told me that saying this will make Grandma Mebius happy."

Noticing the awkward smile on Möbius's face, Gretchen tilted her head and asked softly.

"I'm so happy, little Gretchen."

She even made Gretchen call Alicia "little sister," what a shameless person!

At that moment, no one noticed that Gretchen subtly curled the corners of her mouth upon hearing these words.

"Speaking of which, where do you live now, little Greta?"

"They live right next door, with Mr. Knight and his sisters~"

"Mr. Knight?"

Asking out of confusion, Ellie immediately jumped up and raised her hand, saying, "It's Yu! Because the elders on both sides are old acquaintances, Yu became Gretchen's guardian when she came to learn manga!"

Seeing that she was finally being asked to speak, Nangong Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward.

"Nice to meet you, Dr. Möbius."

Looking at this familiar face and a figure that was even more impressive than Sister Aponia's, Nangong Yu sighed inwardly. It was indeed big, but she couldn't help feeling that it lacked the aura of a small snake.

Meanwhile, Mebius was also observing him with great interest.

Is this the guy that the quirky pink-haired girl has her eye on?

She looked alright, but her inner qualities were hard to judge at the moment. She released Gretchen and walked in slowly with graceful steps.

"Nangong Yu, right?"

Her soft voice carried a hint of allure, and although she sensed something was amiss, Nangong Yu still smiled and extended her hand to her.

"Ah."

Seeing the hand placed in front of him as if to shake hands, Mebius chuckled and ignored it. He then stepped forward again, entering Nangong Yu's social distance with his entire body almost pressed against him.

An unfamiliar, delicate fragrance wafted over like a soft snake, filling the air with a hint of ambiguity. Amidst the astonished expressions of the crowd, a slender hand reached out and gently lifted Nangong Yu's chin, a charming voice slowly ringing in everyone's ears.

"I really like you. Why don't you leave that pink-haired girl and come to my side?"

Chapter 201 Mebius: Don't come any closer!

"Wh-what..."

Kiana, who wasn't very good at socializing and had been grinning sheepishly since earlier, widened her eyes at Mebius's actions. Not only her, Sirin was also dumbfounded, standing there as if petrified, and Mei was so surprised that she covered her mouth.

Weren't we supposed to get to know each other? Why are we suddenly trying to poach people?

On the other side, Bronya was stunned for a moment, then a playful expression appeared on her face. She quietly pulled Seele, who wanted to step forward, and told her not to join in the fun and help her good brother out of the predicament. Then she didn't forget to stop Kaguya, and the two of them stayed in place to watch the show.

Gretchen was stunned when she heard Mebius's words. She first looked at Grandma Mebius, then turned to look at her little sister Alicia. Her cute brows furrowed slightly. She took a few steps back and shielded Eden in front of her. Seeing this, Eden smiled gently, patted Gretchen's little head, and said nothing more.

In an instant, the entire space seemed to be emptied out, leaving only the space for the three people in the very center.

The one who faced all of this was the most surprised—no, it shouldn't be called surprised, it should be called frightened.
