So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

"I'm at school, here with Sister Mo," Zhou You answered truthfully.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Tangtang glanced at Chen Youzi, who was lying on the bed in a daze, her little brain still reeling from receiving too much strange information today.

"I'll come pick you up, wait for me a moment."

She said something to Zhou You, and after ending the call, she walked to Chen Youzi's side and hugged her tightly, making Chen Youzi feel so overwhelmed by her own strength that she couldn't breathe, which made Chen Youzi, who was already in a bad mood, even worse.

"Yuzu, I'm going to see your brother now, don't miss your sister too much."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Tangtang couldn't wait to leave the room. Chen Youzi lay sprawled on the bed, raised her hand, her eyes gradually widening, her little face twitching.

Wu Dalang, who seemed to have witnessed Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing's affair, couldn't even get angry because he had already established a cooperative relationship with his own sister.

"I...I...my brother, waaaaah~~"

The thought of Chen Tangtang doing all sorts of things to her dearest brother made Chen Youzi feel very complicated.

Is all this sacrifice worth it to achieve victory?

Chen Youzi: [Mengmeng, what should I do? Waaaaah~~]

Lemon: [What's wrong? What happened?]

Chen Youzi: [They're all my older sisters! She, she... sigh, it's a long story.]

Ning Mengmeng: [Youzi, don't rush, tell me slowly, I'll definitely help you.]

Chen Youzi: [I knew Mengmeng was the best to me! (smiley face)]

Chen Youzi lay on the bed, placed her phone between two pillows, and tapped the screen with one finger in each hand, her round face puffing up from time to time.

She was talking to her best friend about the increasingly complicated relationships Zhou You had with others.

…………

hum~~

"Sister Mo, I really should go now." Zhou You glanced at the private message Chen Tangtang sent and got up to say goodbye.

Ning Moxin tidied up the documents on her desk and stood up. "I'll see you off. I'm going home anyway."

The two left the principal's office and came to the elevator. Zhou You pressed the elevator button and glanced at the darkened elevator display.

"The elevator seems to be broken. We may have to take the stairs down. Luckily, the fifth floor isn't too high."

He beckoned Ning Moxin to walk together into the nearby emergency exit.

The lights in the hallway were not bright, and some of them were completely out of service due to years of disrepair.

Ning Moxin walked slowly beside him, always subconsciously lagging behind by half a step.

"Sister Mo, you seem to really like wearing ancient costumes?" Zhou You started a casual conversation on the way.

"I got used to wearing it for a few years when I was little, so I just kept wearing it the same way when I grew up and didn't want to change it." Ning Moxin smiled faintly and answered casually.

Zhou You nodded slightly upon hearing this, assuming it was just Ning Moxin's dressing habit, even though he was actually a little curious about what she would look like if she wore jeans or a short skirt.

Putting everything else aside, there will definitely be a strong sense of contrast.

After climbing a few flights of stairs to the next level, Ning Moxin turned her head to look at Zhou You, her eyes glistening with tears, like two pools of peach blossoms.

"Actually, I sometimes want to wear the clothes that young girls like to wear, but then I remember that I'm already old, so I just give up."

"Sister Mo, don't belittle yourself." Zhou You smiled and pretended to peek out like a thief in the empty corridor. "If you say you're old, then those young girls probably wouldn't dare to say they're young."

"And even if you really get old, as long as you have the will, you can still make yourself feel young."

He has a deep understanding of this. For example, his mother, Xiao Yan, has an incredibly youthful mindset. Coupled with her ageless, youthful appearance, which rivals that of several older women he knows, he can say that she is his older sister when they go out shopping together.

"As long as you have the will?" Ning Mo thought to herself.

“Yes, as long as you are willing to change yourself, at least my mother is that kind of person.” Zhou You gave a real example, which made it more convincing.

"..."

The fifth floor is not very high, and the two of them walked slowly but quickly reached the first floor.

Zhou You was ahead, using the light from his phone to find the doorknob at the entrance of the building.

Ning Moxin stopped on the last step and didn't go down. She looked down at her feet, which she had raised and then lowered, and for a moment she didn't know what she was thinking.

Click~~

Zhou You pushed the door open a crack, and the light from the lobby shone into the hallway.

He turned his head and saw Ning Moxin's somewhat dazed look, and asked, "Sister Mo, aren't you going out? Or did you remember that you left something in the office?"

"I...I'm fine..." Ning Moxin took a few steps forward, somewhat absentmindedly, and stood next to Zhou You. As she watched him push open the door, a bold idea suddenly came to her mind.

Can things be changed simply by wanting to?

It's not that she doesn't understand this principle, but she has never felt such an irrepressible urge before.

101. Liking is a pure emotion.

"Xiao You!" Ning Moxin called out from behind Zhou You.

"Hmm?" Zhou You stepped into the light and turned around to look at his sister Mo.

Ning Moxin hid in the darkness, but a sliver of light from outside faintly shone on her face, making her clear eyes sparkle.

What kind of person do you think I am?

Her question was a bit strange, but Zhou You replied in the most normal manner, "Sister Mo, although you sometimes do things that make me feel embarrassed, you are really a very, very good person."

"Pfft~~"

When Ning Moxin heard Zhou You say that she sometimes did things that embarrassed him, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, her willow-leaf eyebrows curving slightly with joy.

"You just want to say that I'm a scheming person, don't you?"

She actually knew that there was a little devil hidden inside her, a strange thing that she dared not let out at all.

Ning Moxin's gaze was fixed on Zhou You.

Therefore, she needs a hero to restrain and protect her, after all, she doesn't want to develop any strange doujinshi plots, and even if she does, she only wants them to be with her hero.

"That's not what I meant," Zhou You quickly denied.

"Hehe, I'll take that as you really didn't mean it that way." Ning Moxin didn't continue the topic. She had already adjusted her mindset and returned to her usual gentle demeanor.

She took a few steps to Zhou You's side, gently raised her hand to straighten his collar, smooth out the wrinkles in his clothes, and brushed away the dust that had gotten on his trouser legs from somewhere.

"I'll help you get ready before you go see the person you like. Remember to look your best; details matter."

As Ning Moxin spoke, she stood on tiptoe and focused intently on tidying up Zhou You's sideburns and bangs.

The two were very close, and her focused and gentle pretty face was right in front of him. Her delicate and fair skin looked like bouncy jelly.

She tidied herself up and took a few steps back. A faint, ethereal scent, carrying a delicate fragrance, flowed from Zhou You's forehead down to his throat with her movements.

Ning Moxin stood firm and carefully looked Zhou You up and down. After nodding in satisfaction, she glanced at Chen Tangtang, who was jogging towards her from the office building entrance, and gently patted Zhou You's shoulder.

"Go ahead, do your best, and make sure everyone is happy."

“…Hmm.” Although Zhou You felt that Ning Moxin’s words were strange, he still responded seriously.

He turned around to meet Chen Tangtang, who was running towards him with a 'da da da' sound.

Ning Moxin smiled gently as she stood there watching him and Chen Tangtang disappear into the night.

"Pfft~~" She stood still for a while, then suddenly shook her head and laughed.

She felt like she was the kind of woman who would put a small umbrella in her husband's bag when he went out, saying it would make him safer.

…………

Chen Tangtang smiled and pulled Zhou You away from the office building toward the outer gate of the school, blending into the night. The surrounding lights were not bright, and only two blurry outlines could be seen very close together.

She deliberately stepped on the paving stones one by one, her fingers rubbing against his forearm, remembering Rose's words of advice from earlier that day.

"My little heartthrob, I want to ask you a question."

"what?"

"What kind of woman do you like?" Chen Tangtang asked directly.

She has changed and grown, but she also knows that she can never become like Yun Mingyue, who can guess what men like without asking anything.

So, she might as well ask clearly: Yun Mingyue can give people surprises, but she can't give people surprises, but she can at least make herself look beautiful, right?

"Why did Sister Bing suddenly ask this?" Zhou You asked, seemingly knowing the answer already.

Chen Tangtang stopped. The streetlights emitted a dim light, stretching the shadows of the trees. She looked up and let her hair fall back, her face showing only a serious expression.

I want to dress myself up the way you like.

She tilted her head back, trying to observe Zhou You's expression, her eyes sparkling brightly, a glint that even the darkness of night couldn't conceal.

"Can't I look at you a little longer?"

"..."

Zhou You fell into a long silence. He increasingly understood why he had wavered, why he had been greedy, and why he wanted to challenge himself.

He didn't want Sister Hua to be lonely anymore, nor did he want Sister Bing to be sad anymore.

Therefore, he doesn't want to be a good man, and it's difficult for him to continue being a good man.

If they get angry, it's only right for a bad man to be beaten; he's happy to accept it, since he's already gotten enough.

"Sister Bing, you're perfect as you are. Everyone has their own unique characteristics."

He paused, his voice becoming softer than usual, "I just hope you can always be happy like this. I love the way you smile when you're happy."

"That's it?" Chen Tangtang shook Zhou You, dissatisfied. "Are you just trying to brush me off?"

Isn't this too ordinary? Doesn't it look no different from her usual appearance?

"Otherwise what? What else do you expect me to say?" Zhou You was speechless. He was absolutely sincere in saying this, and he was very serious. How could Chen Tangtang still have any objections?

Chen Tangtang didn't know what to say. Did her little male god really only care about making her happy?

"Well."

She blinked. Does liking her as she is usually the same thing mean that the little male god actually likes her as she is now?
