I have a lot of dating skills.

Zhao Fei's expression was strange. Huo Yingxi called Xin Yu "master" in front of Zhao Weijing, as if she didn't care at all. Why wasn't Weijing angry?

Faced with the maid's request, Xin Yu could only nod. He couldn't very well send Yingxi away; he trusted Huo Yingxi completely.

Chapter 184 Reform Me (Part 2)

The group returned to the villa, and it started raining heavily again outside.

After getting out of the car, the group ran from the garage toward the house with umbrellas in hand. They inevitably got a little wet, but fortunately it wasn't serious.

Upon entering the house, Zhao Weijing brought towels for everyone. After drying their wet hair, they discussed what to eat. Then, Zhao Fei, Zhao Weijing, and Huo Yingxi went to cook, leaving Xin Yu in the living room.

Recently, Xin Yu has been staying here frequently, and the two women in the house treat him like a husband, so well that he almost feels at home.

Of course, since it's the woman's home, eating and living here always gives people the feeling of being a kept man.

When Xin Yu returned from Shanghai a while ago, he was thinking of going back to his own home, but now he has given up. Although milk can replenish energy, it doesn't keep him full.

He often woke up hungry in the middle of the night. He could eat whenever he stayed at the Zhao family's house, but he would go hungry when he went home.

Although one could ask Consort Zhao for some food to store in the refrigerator in advance, the shelf life is short, and the nutrition and flavor are easily lost, making it far less convenient than simply living at Consort Zhao's house.

The three women in the kitchen were busy preparing dinner. Although it smelled good, the ingredients were ordinary and not nutritious enough to satisfy Xin Yu's appetite.

He walked to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of drink. It must have been put in by Zhao Fei at noon; the quality was pretty good, and it should keep him full for a while.

Xin Yu felt a headache coming on when he thought about having to explain to Huo Yingxi why he wasn't eating dinner. If it weren't for Zhao Fei's feelings, he would have told her the secret, but for now he could only keep it a secret.

"Master, what's bothering you? Tell me, and Yingxi will help you solve it."

A girl behind me asked softly.

Xin Yu turned around, and Huo Yingxi was standing behind him at some point.

He was somewhat surprised. His body had been enhanced, making his hearing very sensitive, but the girl walked silently, like a cat. It would probably take specialized and long-term training to achieve that.

"No, I was thinking about how to get back later if it rains."

Xin Yu resisted the urge to tell her the secret.

Huo Yingxi nodded, her gaze falling on the drink in his hand. She asked in surprise, "The smell is similar to that of Consort Zhao. Is this from Consort Zhao?"

"No, it's just a regular drink." Xin Yu felt embarrassed inside, but said calmly on the surface.

Huo Yingxi shook her head and said with certainty, "Yingxi wouldn't be mistaken, but how could Consort Zhao produce such a thing?"

She looked utterly bewildered; this knowledge was beyond her comprehension, and no matter how imaginative she was, she could never fathom the truth of the matter.

"Master, is this a secret between you and Consort Zhao? Can't you tell Yingxi?"

She looked at her owner with curiosity, her large, clear eyes revealing a thirst for knowledge and anticipation.

As her master's maid, she would not keep any secrets from him and hoped that he could truly trust her.

Xin Yu understood her meaning from her eyes, and felt relieved. He thought to himself, "Since I've been found out, I might as well be honest with Yingxi. Zhao Fei won't blame me when she finds out."

"This is my new ability; it unintentionally transformed Consort Zhao," he said succinctly.

Huo Yingxi's eyes showed surprise. Although she had some guesses, she was still very surprised to hear it from her master. This was followed by a deep respect for her master.

As expected of my master.

Since he had already brought it up, Xin Yu decided to be frank and tell Huo Yingxi about how he had lost his appetite after awakening his new abilities and could only rely on Zhao Fei to survive.

"Is it okay if you don't eat? Does the owner think you're not getting enough nutrition?"

Huo Yingxi was somewhat worried about her master's health after hearing this, and she patiently inquired about it. She explained that a balanced diet is essential for good health, and that water, carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber are all indispensable.

"There's no problem. After the modification, Consort Zhao's physique seems to have changed a bit."

Xin Yu recalled his recent experiences and realized that he did not feel malnourished at all, but he was prone to hunger. He worried that if things continued like this, Zhao Fei might not be able to support him.

Thinking about this, Xin Yu felt that training another wet nurse was an urgent matter, as it concerned his livelihood and could not be taken lightly.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yingxi suddenly took two steps forward and approached him: "Master, please let Yingxi have a taste."

After saying that, she took the drink from Xin Yu's hand and took a big sip.

Xin Yu was taken aback by her decisiveness and lack of reservations.

Huo Yingxi pondered for a moment and commented, "It's quite extraordinary. One sip almost satisfies Yingxi's nutritional needs for half a day. Yingxi feels that if she drinks it every day, it can improve her physical fitness."

She was a little hungry, but after taking a bite, her body instantly felt full again. The effect was many times better than the military rations and high-grade nutritional supplements she had eaten during training.

Although the effect was very good, it didn't make you feel full after just one sip. It just made you feel much more energetic. Huo Yingxi quickly finished the drink and then licked her lips, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

Coming to her senses, the little maid blushed slightly, took a step back, and said apologetically, "Master, I'm sorry, Yingxi ate your dinner."

"It's nothing." Xin Yu waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care. Anyway, he was going to see Zhao Fei tonight. It was just that Huo Yingxi's behavior surprised him. She really didn't have any psychological resentment at all.

The little maid relaxed, realizing how embarrassing it was to steal food from her master. Luckily, her master didn't blame her.

Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "From what Master is saying, this kind of modification can be applied to everyone?"

“That’s true.” Xin Yu nodded. “But I don’t know if the effect will be the same as Zhao Fei’s. I haven’t tried it myself.”

Huo Yingxi's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward: "In that case, Master, please modify Yingxi and conduct experiments on her."

She looked at Xin Yu with a devout expression.

Xin Yu was taken aback and asked her, "Don't you mind becoming like Consort Zhao? It would be very inconvenient."

Consort Zhao often complained to him; if it weren't for him, she would probably be depressed to death.

Huo Yingxi is still so young, still a high school student. If she becomes like Zhao Fei, it will be even more inconvenient for her at school.

“It’s alright. Yingxi is willing to do anything for her master.”

The girl spoke earnestly, her eyes even filled with anticipation, as if making such a sacrifice for her master was something she longed for.

Moreover, the mere mention of "owner" is enough to excite anyone. Thinking of a certain scenario, the little maid's delicate body trembled slightly, and her eyes became even more alluring.

Xin Yu felt a soft spot in his heart being touched, and reached out to hug Huo Yingxi affectionately: "Okay, I will grant your request."

"Master..." The girl trembled with excitement and couldn't help but wrap her arms around her master's waist.

"Hey you two, watch yourselves in my house."

A dissatisfied grumble came from behind them, and the two then separated to look at Zhao Weijing. Huo Yingxi's expression quickly returned to normal, and Xin Yuzhen really doubted that she could change her expression; her emotional control was too good.

Zhao Weijing's gaze fell on Huo Yingxi's hand, her face flushed, and she quickly walked over and snatched the empty bottle away, saying in a panic, "Why...drink this...you can't drink this."

She spoke incoherently, while Zhao Weijing gave Xin Yu a reproachful look, blaming him for not keeping a close eye on Huo Yingxi.

"This is what I drank," Xin Yu quickly took the blame.

Zhao Wei breathed a sigh of relief, said nothing, turned around and took the bottle to throw it away.

"Master, does Wei Jing know about this?" Huo Yingxi turned to look at her master.

Xin Yu was a little troubled: "It seems she found out, but we didn't tell her, and she didn't ask."

"Wei Jing must be very troubled." Huo Yingxi felt a little sorry for Zhao Wei Jing. Zhao Fei had suddenly undergone such a big change, and had even developed such a strange relationship with Xin Yu. She probably still couldn't figure it out.

"Yeah, I still don't know how to tell her," Xin Yu sighed.

The maid thought for a moment and volunteered, "Leave this to Yingxi."

"Uh, don't do anything rash. Consort Zhao doesn't want Wei Jing to know about this."

Xin Yu was afraid she would do something reckless, so he quickly reminded her, lest Huo Yingxi be unaware and anger Consort Zhao.

"Yingxi doesn't plan to do that, but she will personally demonstrate it to Weijing."

The little maid's lips curled into a subtle smile, revealing a mischievous grin. Then she happily ran off to find Zhao Weijing and say something unintelligible.

Xin Yu stood there, pondering Huo Yingxi's words. A thought struck him: Could it be that she wanted to... teach by example?

Why am I suddenly a little excited? It's been a long time since I've been with both of them at the same time.

Xin Yu was filled with longing for tonight.

After the meal was served, everyone sat down at the table to eat, including Xin Yu.

The three women present all knew that Xin Yu didn't like to eat, and Xin Yu didn't intend to hide it from them, so he sat down and chatted with them.

The rain outside intensified, turning into a storm, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

Huo Yingxi said, "The rain isn't going to stop anytime soon, so it looks like we can't go home tonight. Wei Jing, I'll sleep with you tonight."

Zhao Weijing snapped out of her daze and nodded, "Okay."

Although she and Huo Yingxi were competitors and often argued, perhaps because they were used to it, she felt it was only natural to sleep together.

Only Zhao Fei's lips twitched slightly. Zhao Weijing and Huo Yingqian were too close. She thought of Huo Yingqian's cunning and wondered if Huo Yingqian wanted to drag Zhao Weijing into fooling around with Xin Yu tonight.

Despite some concerns, Zhao Fei couldn't very well send Huo Yingxi away in the heavy rain outside. Besides, she was at home, and she figured that even if Huo Yingxi was terrible, she wouldn't do such a thing, so she felt relieved.

However, Zhao Weijing was getting too close to Huo Yingxi, which bothered Zhao Fei, so she decided to find an opportunity to talk to her.

After dinner, Zhao Fei, citing Huo Yingxi as a guest, asked her to sit in the living room while she pulled Zhao Weijing into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Zhao Weijing didn't think much of it and hummed a song in a good mood.

Consort Zhao glared at her and said with displeasure, "What's wrong with you? You're getting along too well with your rival. Don't forget our plan."

Zhao Weijing was taken aback, somewhat at a loss. After thinking for a moment, she whispered, "As for Yingxi... it's alright, right?"

"What did you say?" Zhao Fei was stunned. Was this how she treated her love rival? This couldn't be explained away with just a simple "generous" statement. Had Wei Jing been brainwashed by Huo Yingxi?

Recalling her few interactions with Huo Yingxi, Zhao Fei became very wary and firmly said, "Don't trust her. This girl is too patient, and her love for Xin Yu is extremely abnormal. She definitely doesn't want to be with us. She's doing this to make us lose our patience and drive us away."

Consort Zhao thought she had seen through Huo Yingxi's thoughts, and spoke in a very serious tone.

She kept saying "we" over and over again, making Zhao Weijing's cheeks flush and feel a little embarrassed, as if the two of them had become one.

Hearing Zhao Fei's evaluation of Huo Yingqian, Zhao Weijing was somewhat taken aback, wondering why Zhao Fei held such a deep prejudice against Huo Yingqian. Although Zhao Weijing sometimes felt jealous because of Huo Yingqian's relationship with Xin Yu, she didn't harbor much hatred, let alone want to drive Huo Yingqian away...

That's impossible.

The girl concluded that Huo Yingxi truly regarded her as Xin Yu's maid and would never betray her. If she were Xin Yu, Zhao Weijing also felt that she couldn't refuse this kind of girl.

However, she had no intention of arguing with Consort Zhao and nodded silently.

After washing the dishes, the two returned to the living room. Xin Yu and Huo Yingxi were watching TV. Huo Yingxi had Xin Yu's arm in her arms and was gently pressing it, not even noticing that they had come out.

Zhao Fei frowned. At this moment, Zhao Weijing quickly stepped forward and grabbed Huo Yingxi's hand: "Yingxi, let's go back to the room. I have something to tell you."
