"Mmm-hmm." Marissa and Chun nodded, then went back to eating their breakfast in silence.
However, the two girls, who were also eating in small bites, were more afraid that if they finished their breakfast and sat there idly, Yan Liu might strike up a conversation with them, and then they would give themselves away if they didn't keep their mouths shut.
"Is Xiao Chunan really that talkative? Go sleep at Aunt Liu's place tonight and let me see what you talk about that keeps you up until morning."
This might not be appropriate. Last night, the most talked about things was tails, and then clothes, especially Marissa and Chun. They thought Yu Tang's clothes were beautiful and didn't want to wear them themselves. However, Chu Yinan could understand their thoughts. They simply didn't want to wear their own revealing outfits and felt that Yu Tang's clothes had more fabric.
Chu Yinan was understanding and fulfilled their wishes. They played until after midnight before changing into Yu Tang's cheongsam outfit with a new tail, and then played another round. They forced themselves to take a shower before going to bed.
This is a topic I can't discuss with Aunt Liu...
"It's nothing interesting, just chatting about the plot Yu Tang was watching... Aunt Liu, it seems like the Winter Mang Festival is coming up in a couple of days. Are you going to that park then?"
Yan Liu took out her phone and glanced at the calendar, making the rare decision not to go with the little brat: "I guess we won't go. Heinrich and Morgan said they're going to stay on the north side of Glory Island for two days to do ice fishing. There's some kind of fish that comes ashore around this time."
"They're way too enthusiastic about fishing. They go out in this cold weather. They're going to freeze. I don't even want to step out the door. I always feel like cold air will get into my clothes and blow into my stomach."
Upon hearing this, Yan Liu helped him tighten his collar, thinking that the little brat's clothes were not properly arranged. Unexpectedly, she discovered a hickey on his neck. No, there was more than one. These hickeys were located on his back, and he wouldn't easily notice them even when looking in the mirror.
"Xiao Chunan, besides chatting, did you guys do anything else yesterday?" Yan Liu asked casually, pretending to bring it up unintentionally. "Just watching dramas and chatting is pretty boring, isn't it? Last time I slept with your aunt, I was thinking of having a good chat since we hadn't seen each other for a long time, but I fell asleep shortly after midnight."
Chu Yinan thought about the contents of the statement. Apart from watching the show, there was nothing else. It was better not to make decisions on her own. However, if you really want to know what she actually did, there was a lot, such as riding a little reindeer and unwrapping the ribbons of Christmas packages.
"No, right?"
He didn't notice anything unusual, but Chun Ke, who was afraid of dying, kept an eye on Xiao Chunan. He immediately noticed that Yan Liu stared at the hickey on the back of Xiao Chunan's neck for a while!
She mustered all her courage this year to add to Xiao Chunan's reply:
"Yes, there was some. After Xiao Chunan fell asleep in the middle of the night, Marissa and I had a contest to see who could suck out the lip prints. Then I smacked Xiao Chunan's neck a few times to wake him up. He thought he had just been spacing out for a while and hadn't actually fallen asleep. He was very energetic and chatted with us for a long time."
This is actually just taking the blame for Bei Yutang. Those marks were made by Bei Yutang biting. Neither of them is tall enough to bite that far back.
Chu Yinan looked at Chun with a puzzled expression. Why was this guy suddenly acting on his own? Did something like this happen last night?
Noticing Yu Tang's signal, he wisely kept quiet in the end.
Yan Liu accepted this explanation and did not pursue the matter further.
Just then, a drone landed by the window; it was there to deliver a package.
Chu Yinan recognized the Turing Tower logo on the package and thought to himself that he could finally change the subject from what had just been discussed!
"The package from Turing Tower should contain the clothes that I asked Fuxi to customize for me yesterday. Wow, it arrived so quickly."
"Yesterday? Was it you who spent ages putting together outfits in that game?"
This is a gift that Chu Yinan chose for them. He got a set of clothes from the game "Nikki" and asked the AI sisters to help customize it.
However, only Chun and Marisa's packages arrived this time; the rest of the custom-made clothes have not yet arrived.
Since it's a gift to be given openly and legitimately, it can't possibly contain any strange plugins; it's something that can be given openly and honestly.
Yan Liu didn't rush to grab the gift, but gave the spot to the two little girls: "Marissa, Chun, come and open it to see what clothes it is. I remember Xiao Chunan chose a onesie for you?"
"It's not just pajamas, it's not that perfunctory, there's also a set of regular clothes!"
Chun opened the package with curiosity and joy, only to find that the onesie inside was a cartoon pig's head. She immediately felt that Xiao Chunan was implying that she was a stupid pig... The casual clothes were fine, a winter schoolgirl outfit with all the accessories: jewelry, well-fitting underwear, stockings, shoes, everything was included.
She glanced at Marissa's pajamas and saw that they were cartoon cats. She got angry: "Little Chunan, why are my pajamas a pig's head!"
Marissa laughed and said, "Even though it's a cartoon pig head pajama, it's still pretty cute, right? Sometimes Chun just looks a bit silly."
Chu Yinan nodded: "Yes, the pig brain is overloaded, it always trips up on flat ground~"
Chapter 57 You're in charge of triggering the mission
"How about you wear this piggy pajama around if you're working with the other maids today? See if the maids think it's appropriate. I vouch for you, Darlena and your aunt won't say anything." Chu Yinan adopted the air of a leader.
Of course, if Chunzhen agrees but her aunt doesn't, Chu Yinan will know to sell his dignity to Heinrich and pay the price for his boastful words.
"No way! It's so weird, and how can I work in my pajamas!"
The silver-haired girl looked disgusted, but judging from her smug little expression, she was still very happy that someone had given her a gift.
Seeing her reaction, Chu Yinan breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worried that she might not like what he gave her, but now that he saw Chun didn't dislike even the pig-head pajamas, the rest was pretty much guaranteed. Heinrich often spouted twisted logic, but he was indeed trustworthy.
Upon seeing the gifts, Marissa thought of the Winter Mang Festival and said, "Little Chunan, I might not be able to play with you during the Winter Mang Festival."
"Why? Did Heinrich call you fishing?"
Chun suddenly remembered Marissa's identity and said, "Oh, are you going back to the monastery to help? The monastery is organizing the gift-giving for the Winter Mang Festival. Did the senior nun there ask you to go back? There should be enough people, right? Other families will also send maids to help, just like during the Island Day before."
Chu Yinan remembers clearly the last time he went to the island. He even sneaked up to the second floor, where outsiders were not allowed to enter, and played in Marissa's room.
"Although I wasn't called, it would be a bit awkward if everyone else was busy and I was just playing around. Besides, it's only a day's work; the senior nuns do more of the work at night."
“Alright, but Marissa doesn’t need to go back early. We’ll go with you on the day of the event. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Marissa in her nun’s robes.”
Although it was a very ordinary exclamation, coming from Chu Yinan's mouth, Marissa felt that he was commenting on it as some kind of sex toy, and immediately went over and pinched his cheek with a stern face.
"Little Chu Nan, what are you saying!"
"I didn't say anything!"
After breakfast, Marissa and Chun got to work and ran off to stick to Delia, running around everywhere.
Chu Yinan took Yu Tang and Aunt Liu for a stroll around the manor for a while. His ears were so cold that he went back to the house to huddle up. He remembered the matching system's notification from last night and felt it was necessary to discuss the mission triggering with Heinrich.
He immediately waited for her to be alone and went to her for a secret meeting.
Heinrich has recently become obsessed with online games, and needless to say, the subject is fishing. Chu Yinan has watched her play; the content is quite hardcore, with data so precise that it includes details like the material of the fishing rod and line. She can often be seen struggling with a single fish for more than ten minutes.
Unfortunately, this online game is too old. The server is still running, but she is the only online player.
Chu Yinan waited for a while, and only spoke when Heinrich had taken a big bite and was in a good mood.
"Heinrich, did you see the matchmaking system messages last night?"
Without turning his head, Heinrich stared at the lake on the screen and said succinctly:
"No, I didn't see it. I was working on Morgan last night, I didn't have time."
Chu Yinan suddenly fell silent, wondering what the word "grind" meant. Could it be something like grinding soybeans for milk?
It's better not to delve too deeply into this kind of thing.
“Oh, it’s okay if you didn’t see it. I saw it. The matching system message last night said that our mission has recently entered a high-trigger phase, which means that the things we do are likely to be counted in the mission.” Chu Yinan’s voice trailed off, and after a while he continued, “They will most likely be counted in the mission.”
Why is he silent? The mission has just entered its high-trigger period, and Heinrich has already gone to bother his aunt. He's also been playing dress-up with his sisters. It shouldn't have any impact, right?
"I almost forgot about this. This matchmaking system is so slow! Why is the task interval so long?"
"It's been a while. So, Heinrich, what are your thoughts on the next quest? I helped trigger it last time, what are you planning to do this time?"
"That's a real headache. I might have had an idea a few days ago, but these past two days I've been thinking about taking out the king fish from the fish school north of Glory Island."
The blonde woman spoke with great conviction; Chu Yinan hadn't heard such spirited words from this lazy father in a long time.
Glory Island used to be floating and drifting, but it was only recently established and connected to the Twin Islands. This change in location will bring about a series of changes, such as the fish that come to the harbor to seek shelter from the cold, which for Heinrich is equivalent to a seasonal event.
Chu Yinan really hoped she could fish for a few more days, so that when the quest was triggered, she could go fishing!
That makes things easier.
"So what should we do? Just leave it to fate?"
"Going with the flow isn't ideal either. Fishing depends on your mood. If I catch everything I'm supposed to catch in the next couple of days, and the quest still requires me to go fishing, then it's a complete waste of time and mood," Heinrich shook his head.
She used this matching system to have fun, not to be bored. Since she didn't have any good ideas for the time being, she could only entrust this important task to Xiao Chunan.
"Then I'll let you take charge this time. If the mission I trigger is boring, I'll just have to find some fun from Xiao Chunan."
"..."
Chu Yinan felt that she was bearing too much maturity and pressure that someone her age should not have to bear.
"Heinrich, you can't do this! At least give me some direction! Otherwise, I'm going to the Winter Mang Festival these two days to build snowmen, and you're going sea fishing. What if you come up with some kind of mission where we use ice sculptures of snowmen as bait to fish together?"
Heinrich was quite easy to talk to. As for the direction... she recalled what she had wanted to do before and quickly found a clue.
"Speaking of which, I was originally planning to give those down-on-their-luck women a good beating, to see their regretful expressions after they messed up, like Veronica, and that little director you complained about. But then I heard about the fish and forgot all about it."
It was a gamble on their future; if they won, they'd go from bicycle to motorcycle. Unfortunately, Veronica and the others were the losers. Although they didn't end up as club models, their dramatic fall from grace was truly regrettable.
Because Ms. Akemi Fukami's former congressman husband got involved, she's in a terrible situation now.
These people are currently being housed at Nasser Estate; otherwise, Chu Yinan would feel uncomfortable if he saw them wandering around Lefèvre Estate.
"So what do we do...?"
"When I go fishing, you go to Nasser Manor and try to make them show some genuine resentment and humiliation. Just consider it triggering a quest, and take a few pictures to show me."
Chapter 58 Winter Grain Festival
It's been quite a while since I last heard Heinrich mention Veronica.
At that time, she also asked Turing Tower to return the molded doll maid, and even said that Veronica and the doll maid would compete to see who was more capable. A few days later, she disappeared from the manor.
Chu Yinan thought Heinrich had done something to her, but it turned out he had just sent her to Nassel Manor. But that was the right thing to do, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable and awkward to see such an outsider at home every day.
What's the deal with Director Shenshui? Although she's related to that Councilor Locke who was bleeding like rain, it shouldn't be enough to get targeted by Heinrich. There were so many people who suffered that night, but Heinrich and Morgan didn't make things difficult for most of them. They just gave them some resettlement money and let them live on their own.
Only those who are exceptionally reckless will have the chance to be targeted by Heinrich.
"Why did you bring Director Shenshui here to cause trouble? How did she even agree to this? When that former congressman got into trouble, at most he'd just be locked up in jail with food and lodging provided. This Director Shenshui is in the same situation. How did you turn her into a servant? Isn't this vigilante justice?"
Heinrich held the little boy in his arms and rubbed his face vigorously, leaving Chu Yinan completely bewildered.
"What are you doing! Your fish are about to escape, and you're still rubbing my face."
"I only rubbed you because the fish got away. The way you just said it made it sound like falling into my hands was worse than going to jail."
"Pretty much, I often feel like I'm in jail because of you."
"Far from it. Your situation was just a little embarrassing. Shen Shuimingmei used the position that former Congressman Locke gave her to secure for herself, and she abused it. There are many problems with her position. Locke even deliberately dragged her accomplices into many crimes. If she goes to jail, she'll definitely be getting a lifetime of free room and board. Now I'm just messing with her. I'm doing a good deed and helping her to reform."
"But she's eating and living well now, though she still has to do a lot of work. What if you get tired of her?"
"What use is he if he's thrown into jail? Once they're tired of playing with him, what's the point?"
"..." Chu Yinan stared at her with wide eyes, "Isn't this a bit unfair?"
Perhaps his temper is just too good. Back then, when Akemi Fukami used her authority to harass his homeroom teacher, Iori, Chu Yinan was angry, but not to the point of being unable to sleep. Now, if he had to choose, he felt that throwing her in jail would be more practical, at least that would be doing things according to the rules.
