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

As soon as she got home, Ye Qianxue clasped her hands together, overwhelmed with admiration, "Big sister, you were just so—cool!"

This is a scene that so many girls dream of.

"Mmm! Very handsome!"

Wen Xintong kept nodding, her eyes shining. Yan Ziming was really afraid that a heart would suddenly appear in her eyes.

She already owes enough debts; if she were to incur another, not only would Mu Mu and Ye Qianxue not be able to forgive herself, but she herself would also be unable to forgive herself.

Ah~~ my damned, irresistible charm...

Yan Ziming chuckled dryly, changing the subject, "Really... Haha, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Then I'll go cook now. You guys wait for me in the living room and don't go into the kitchen!"

Yan Ziming ran into the kitchen almost as if he were fleeing, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Seeing Yan Ziming's strange behavior, Ye Qianxue suddenly smiled and understood what was going on.

Hmph~~ Looks like my older sister is finally not so open-minded anymore~~

We need to be careful around this Wen Xintong!

Ye Qianxue knew very well that her older sister was not immune to beautiful women. If Wen Xintong had any feelings for her older sister, she could easily win her over with a little guidance. She absolutely would not allow that to happen!

Those few who possess Yan Ziming are enough!

"Oh, right." Yan Ziming's voice came from the kitchen: "Xintong, you've basically broken up with them now. Do you have any plans for your future?"

"...I guess I'll just have to find another job."

Wen Xintong said somewhat dejectedly, wondering what kind of job she could find with her talents, and how much better the outcome would be than today.

The world is a treacherous place, and even if a pretty girl finds a job, it's only because others are after her body; they never intend for her to have a proper job.

"I see... Good luck, I believe in you!"

Yan Ziming merely offered her some encouragement, seemingly without any intention of continuing to help.

The stark change in behavior was noticeable even to the somewhat dazed Wen Xintong, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.

"Hmm... I'll do my best."

Yan Ziming stopped what he was doing in the kitchen, secretly glanced at Wen Xintong in the living room, and felt a mix of emotions, an indescribable sadness.

Am I really a good friend?

She knew in her heart that she couldn't continue helping her. Wen Xintong couldn't rely on her for everything; it would inevitably lead to disaster in the long run. She needed to gradually let Wen Xintong talk about her role in her life, because...

Gentleness isn't always a good quality...

It can be the good part of human nature, or it can be the source of depravity...

Chapter 54 Declaring Sovereignty

"Oh dear, the food is ready."

Mu Mu stepped out of the spatial rift and found that the living room was already filled with fragrance, which was so enticing that it made one's appetite so strong.

"I'm home."

Yan Ziming walked out of the kitchen carrying the last dish, still wearing an apron, her long black hair tied into a high ponytail, and she smelled of food. She exuded the charm of a perfect wife.

An irresistible urge compelled Mu Mu to kiss her, but seeing that there were other people around, he had no choice but to hold back.

"Yes, I'm back. So, why is she here too?"

Mu Mu looked at Wen Xintong, who was sitting at the dining table with a blush on her face, and asked with a smile.

"Oh, she's the new neighbor I told you about, her name is..."

“I know, her name is Wen Xintong, right? I just picked her up the day before yesterday.”

"Oh right, I almost forgot... She hadn't eaten either, so I called her over."

Aside from offering as little help as possible on major issues, Yan Ziming could accept small favors like inviting people to his home for dinner. If he refused even such a small favor, it would undoubtedly be a sign that he wanted to sever ties with the person.

And since the job they just found was gone in an instant, we have to comfort them.

"Hmph~~" Mu Mu shifted her gaze.

Seeing Mu Mu looking at her, Wen Xintong quickly stood up, slightly flustered, "Y-you, hello! I'm Wen Xintong, I just moved in today, I live next door..."

"Hmph~~ So you're saying that Xiao Momo did that at the hotel just now because of you.......?"

"Ah! Yes, I've received a lot of help from her in just these few days..."

Wen Xintong scratched her cheek shyly, and when she lowered her head, she was still stealing glances at Yan Ziming out of the corner of her eye. Mu Mu sighed inwardly after seeing this.

As expected, it happened...

"Mu Mu, you haven't eaten yet either, have you? Hurry up and sit down, get ready to eat, and while you're at it, throw that thing into your room."

Yan Ziming placed the last dish on the table and returned to the kitchen to take off her apron, but Mu Mu pressed her hand down as soon as she touched the tie. "That's fine."

"Huh? What do you mean, 'just like this'?" Yan Ziming looked down following Mu Mu's gaze before realizing what she meant.

"No, wearing this makes me—"

Mu Mu held Yan Ziming's hands, her gaze peaceful, her tone unusually gentle, "Listen to me this time, okay?"

"...This is a one-time offer."

I don't know why Mu Mu did this, but there's no reason to refuse. Let's just assume it was a whim of Mu Mu's.

Giving up on taking off her apron, Yan Ziming opened the rice cooker and started serving rice, but Mu Mu walked over and said, "I'll help too."

"what......"

Slightly dazed, he handed Mu Mu an extra rice scoop, which she took. The two of them quickly scooped out several large bowls of rice and placed them on a tray on the table.

Yan Ziming placed the first bowl of rice in front of Wen Xintong and smiled, "Eat up, I'm very confident in my cooking skills."

"Ah! Okay..." Wen Xintong hurriedly took it.

"......"

Ye Qianxue watched the strange atmosphere between Yan Ziming, Mu Mu, and Wen Xintong with some silence. Even she could smell something odd.

The smell was hard to describe; its most obvious manifestation was extreme xenophobia, and Ye Qianxue felt that she couldn't keep up with them.

Oh! Could it be that Master Sister is also—!

In this atmosphere, an untimely voice rang out.

"Hey, where's our share!"

Si Mo slapped the table in dissatisfaction. The table in front of her was empty, and even the dishes were placed out of her reach with her short arms, clearly telling her that there was no food for her.

As soon as Yan Ziming pulled out the chair, a vein popped out on his forehead: "You've already eaten so much, do you still want to eat more? And Mu Mu, didn't I tell you to put this thing in the room?!"

"Okay, sit down."

Mu Mu sat down next to Yan Ziming, took her hand and pulled her down to sit. She then grabbed a spoon, scooped a spoonful of tofu to her lips, blew on it twice, and then put it to Yan Ziming's lips.

"Open your mouth, ah——"

"What are you doing!"

Yan Ziming's pretty face flushed slightly. She didn't know what Mu Mu was up to. It was fine if he did this normally, but now there were guests present! What was he trying to do by acting so ambiguously?

If you're going to put food on her plate, you should put it in her bowl!

Mu Mu subtly tickled Yan Ziming's waist, almost making Yan Ziming cry out in surprise. Mu Mu seized the opportunity and shoved a spoon into her mouth.

"Well......"

Yan Ziming tilted his head back slightly.

The spoon was already in his mouth, and even if Yan Ziming was shy, he had to swallow it. But when he thought about how forceful Mu Mu had been, he couldn't help but puff up his cheeks, looking as cute as a squirrel.

Wen Xintong was stunned and didn't touch her rice bowl.

Why are these two being so mushy? It doesn't look like normal interaction between girls...?

Moreover, Mu Mu's spoon would occasionally stir inside Yan Ziming's cherry-like mouth, and it took a long time to pull it out, leaving a silver thread attached to the spoon.

You can vaguely see some clear, translucent liquid replacing the tofu in the spoon.

Then, right under Yan Ziming's constantly twitching eyelids, Mu Mu, without scooping anything into the spoon, simply held it to her lips, stuck out her little tongue, and licked the clear liquid inside the spoon clean, as if savoring a delicious delicacy.

It's so... astringent...

Everyone present swallowed hard, including Yan Ziming.

Yan Ziming's pretty face turned bright red. He actually made a suggestive gesture in front of the guests, and even in front of the neighbors! And it was her who made the gesture!

"Oh~~"

Is Master Sister asserting her sovereignty in a forceful manner?

—Hey, big sister, you ate some tofu, so I'll eat some of yours in return.

After reading it, Ye Qianxue thought to herself that she was an expert.

Yo-shi! Chiyuki, you should try it too!

Having made up her mind that she couldn't let Mu Mu be the only one to benefit, Ye Qianxue quickly got up, scooped up a spoonful of tofu, and prepared to feed it to Yan Ziming. But before she could even scoop it up, Si Mo bit it off.
