I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"Okay, then Xintong... now that we're neighbors, you can come to us for help if you ever need anything. Let's help each other out!"

Wen Xintong tilted her head: "Us?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized, "Oh! You have a younger sister!"

"...Speaking of which, this shouldn't be something the whole country should be doing, you know?"

Yan Ziming was embarrassed. This girl's thought process seemed a bit off. It was a pity; she was quite pretty, but her intelligence was lacking...

Similar to Tian Tian before, Yan Ziming said he could trick her into going home and having sex with her eight times.

Ah!

She almost forgot that Ye Qianxue couldn't be shown to others, so she added, "My sister is usually not at home. Right now, I live with Mu Mu, Mo Xin, and... well, they're all very individualistic people. You'll meet them later!"

She didn't disclose the composition of her family members, as it wouldn't be good if too many people knew.

Liu Mengxian's identity must remain a secret. Although her existence is no secret to the world, no one knows her true identity.

Presumably, Liu Mengxian didn't want her identity to be widely known, so Yan Ziming didn't tell Wen Xintong. If the two of them bumped into each other, that would be fine, as it would mean they were destined to meet.

Wen Xintong pressed further, "Mo Xin... is that Yun Mo from the Civilization Cup?"

"Yes, she's my sister too."

Wow... Your whole family is amazing!

"Haha, you flatter me, it's not actually that amazing~~"

Yan Ziming waved her hand sheepishly, feeling a little flattered by the compliment. The words of a great beauty were quite effective; if it were anyone else, Yan Ziming would have just thought it was a compliment.

"There's something I wanted to ask you, Zimo," Wen Xintong said pleadingly.

"Ask away, as long as it's not too private."

After receiving Yan Ziming's permission, Wen Xintong asked, "I've heard that geniuses are often surrounded by eccentric and unsociable people. Is that true?"

"......"

The background music suddenly changed, becoming listless and depressing.

Yan Ziming's eyelids twitched rapidly; she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

But it's really amazing that this girl could ask this question so casually and look at her with such expectant eyes.

If it were someone else, even if they wanted to ask, they wouldn't be so direct; most of the time, they would simply pretend not to know.

So it's true that it's naturally black when you cut it open?

But she wasn't wrong; the people around her... well, they were indeed all weirdos.

A sadistic little girl, a pair of perverted master and apprentice, and a girl who has just emerged from her chuunibyou phase... As for Xian'er... well, you can only say she's unconventional!

Yan Ziming could only laugh awkwardly, "Hahaha... I don't know if I can be considered an oddball... How should I put it? Very unique?"

Wen Xintong tilted her head: "But isn't 'having personality' just another way of saying 'weird'?"

So how did you come to this conclusion?!

How could I possibly refute that?

"Let's stop discussing this topic. The more you know—" Yan Ziming said with a look of utter despair, "the faster you'll die."

"I always feel... the circle of geniuses is terrifying..."

Wen Xintong forced a smile.

"Hehe, I'm still quite happy, although there are annoying times too... You live alone now?"

Yan Zimo employed the essence of human civilization, a cultural treasure passed down for thousands of years—to change the subject.

This tactic worked, and Wen Xintong quickly changed the subject: "Yeah, it's just me."

"That must be a bit lonely. Remember to come visit sometime!"

Wen Xintong waved her hand: "Ah... no, I still have to work."

Huh? Working?

"Uh, no, you can afford to live in this house, why do you still need to work?"

Yan Ziming expressed her doubts, it seems that her initial prediction was wrong.

Unexpectedly misunderstood, Wen Xintong said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, my residence here can only be considered a staff dormitory; it wasn't purchased by me."

"Then you've found a good job."

Yan Ziming said this from the bottom of her heart, while also feeling a little envious.

Housing prices in Bei'an City are not cheap, especially since it's in the city center. A company that can afford such luxurious employee dormitories must be a large company.

So having a pretty face is really important. Wen Xintong is a bit dull, but she managed to find such a good job. Her face definitely accounts for 60% of the credit, her figure accounts for 30%, and her ability accounts for 10%.

Thinking of this, Yan Ziming cautiously advised her, "If there are any company parties or anything like that, be very careful and try not to get drunk. The world can be very dangerous these days!"

"Uh-huh!"

Wen Xintong was startled by Yan Ziming's sudden change in expression and quickly nodded to indicate that she understood.

Deng Deng——

"I need to go cook now. I'll come find you again."

"Okay, bye-bye~~"

After dealing with the matter, Yan Ziming couldn't help but sigh that it was rare to find such a good neighbor in the world. He wondered if he would be among the top ten best neighbors in China.

As soon as she got home, Ye Qianxue walked out of her bedroom, still half asleep.

"Big sister, what just happened?"

Ye Qianxue's white clothes were so dazzling that they blinded Yan Ziming. He quickly pushed her into the bedroom: "Idiot, hurry up and put your clothes on, what if we have guests at home!"

"Huh?! Are there any guests?!"

Ye Qianxue was startled awake, her face turning pale.

stare--

"No, I'm just reminding you to be mindful of your manners. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're at home. Think about it, what if some pervert is spying on you?"

"Wow...that's really scary."

Ye Qianxue patted her high, firm chest with a hint of lingering fear.

Yan Ziming then dragged in a guy who had been spying outside the door and threw him in front of Ye Qianxue with a disgruntled expression: "Like this guy."

"Hey~~ my sweet daughter, did you miss us?"

"......"

Ye Qianxue looked at Yan Ziming with pleading eyes, as if asking—what is she doing here?

Yan Ziming helplessly spread his hands, while Si Mo said sarcastically, "Huh...shouldn't you greet Mother when you see her?"

"I'm telling you, don't keep dwelling on things that make things difficult for others—"

Good morning, Mother...

What!?

Yan Ziming's eyes widened. Did she just hear Ye Qianxue call Si Mo "Mother"?

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Eating Out

"Wait, Qianxue, what you just did...???"

Yan Ziming almost bit his tongue, wondering if he had misheard.

Ye Qianxue, who harbors a huge prejudice against Si Mo, actually called her "Mother"?!

Given her sister's personality, she would never say such a thing. Therefore, there is only one truth left, and that is—

"Simo, you're not going to try to coerce my sister again, are you?"

Yan Ziming pinched her cheek and questioned her, leaving Ye Qianxue stunned!

Si Mo spread her hands innocently, "Do I look like the kind of person who would do that kind of thing?"

"That's exactly what you did when we first met."

"Compared to when we first met... you've gotten quite bold now." Si Mo squinted at Yan Zi Mo's hands that were pinching her face.

From the moment Si Mo started, she kept pushing Yan Zi Mo's limits. Enraged, Yan Zi Mo naturally didn't hold back and treated her like a ball.

This would have been unthinkable in the past.

This is that Silk Mo! The self-proclaimed noble 'Black Calamity' actually allowed Yan Zimo to act so rudely.

"Come on, I didn't do anything to you like that just now, and now I'm just pinching your cheek, what's the big deal?"

Yan Ziming continued to abuse her face as if nothing had happened.

She didn't care about Si Mo's warning words just now, because it was just a facade.

There's a saying: "Jiang Taigong fishes for dragons—only those who are willing will take the bait."
