Kiana, do you understand what filial piety is?

"If you wait too long, the food will get cold."

Siegfried nodded, picked up the dishes with Yu Zhe, and walked towards the restaurant.

Their movements were in perfect sync, as if they had done this many times before.

However, they all have their own concerns in their hearts.

Siegfried was thinking about Cecilia, while Yu Zhe was thinking about how much profit this meal could bring him.

On the dining table, the dishes were neatly arranged, emitting an enticing aroma.

Yu Zhe and Siegfried sat opposite each other.

Yu Zhe was the first to break the silence. He smiled and picked up the dish and put it into Siegfried's bowl, saying, "Try it. I made this especially for you."

Siegfried glanced at Yu Zhe, then picked up the dish and took a bite.

The taste was familiar and delicious, as if it brought her back to the good old days.

There was a trance in her eyes, as if she saw Cecilia again.

However, she quickly came to her senses and realized that she was now having dinner with Yu Zhe.

She smiled and said to Yu Zhe, "It's delicious, thank you."

Hearing Siegfried's praise, Yu Zhe's stigmata instinctively gave off a sense of satisfaction. "No need to thank me, as long as you like it. I can cook for you often in the future. After all, you are my dear friend."

Siegfried's heart trembled. She didn't know how to respond to Yu Zhe's words. She could only lower her head and eat in silence, but her mind was full of thoughts.

She recalled her past with Cecilia, and her current relationship with Yu Zhe.

It's strange, but somehow familiar.

At this moment, without Siegfried knowing, she seemed to have a strange feeling towards Yu Zhe in her heart.

Seeing that Siegfried didn't say anything, Yu Zhe didn't ask any more questions.

He just silently accompanied her to eat, occasionally picking up some dishes for her.

The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, yet a little warm.

They had just met, but it seemed as if they had been together like this for a long, long time.

After dinner, Yu Zhe was cleaning up the dishes. Siegfried wanted to help, but was stopped by him.

Yu Zhe said to Siegfried, "Just sit there and rest. I'll take care of all this. Consider it my little compensation to you."

After hearing this, Siegfried stopped arguing and just sat on the sofa watching Yu Zhe busy himself.

She looked at his back and thought of Cecilia again.

"What's wrong with me?"

Siegfried didn't know why she always saw the shadow of Cecilia in Yu Zhe, but her soul told her that she was very happy now.

[Ding! The land of gentleness is the grave of heroes. The most terrifying poison in the world is called happiness. Siegfried sees Cecilia in you, and even a momentary illusion always makes her addicted. Siegfried's favorability towards you +10.]

[Current Favorability: 39/80]

Yu Zhe, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, smiled.

One meal in exchange for 10 favorability points, quite a profit!

12 Three elements of raising pets ()

As time passed, the sky outside the window became darker and darker, as if it was gradually stained with ink.

Siegfried stood in the middle of Yu Zhe's living room, his eyes drifting towards the door from time to time, thinking that it was time to leave.

However, before she could take a step, Yu Zhe's figure appeared in front of her like a ghost.

Yu Zhe stood in front of Siegfried and said, "Why do you want to leave? My dear friend, don't worry, my room is very big. You can go to sleep directly when you are tired."

"It's very late now. I think I should leave." Siegfried tried to walk around Yu Zhe, but Yu Zhe was quick-witted and grabbed her arm.

"No, you can't. As my personal bodyguard, you have to protect me 24 hours a day. Night is the most dangerous time. I don't want to be shot in the back and be judged as suicide." As he said that, he took out a contract from a drawer and handed it to Siegfried.

"You promised me that you would be my bodyguard."

Siegfried took the contract with some doubt, frowning slightly. "Even so, you don't need 24-hour protection, right?"

She flipped through the contract, and when her eyes fell on the salary column, her eyes suddenly widened, "Mr. Duo?!"

She looked up in disbelief and looked at Yu Zhe as if she were looking at a madman.

Siegfried swallowed his saliva, it seemed that Yu Zhe gave him a little too much.

As a native of Kaslana, Siegfried could be said to have lived a life of luxury since childhood. At least before she ran away from home, she had never worried about money.

After succeeding the position of head of the family, money became more like a string of numbers to Siegfried.

But after betraying destiny, Siegfried's financial situation became seriously problematic and all her assets were frozen.

Fortunately, because of his experience of running away from home when he was young, Siegfried was able to support her and Kiana with the salary he earned from working.

Seeing this, Yu Zhe showed a smug smile on his face, "How is it? This money is enough to buy out your 24 hours, right?"

As a businessman, the thing Yu Zhe has the most is money.

"And now that you've become what you are, you don't need to hide from fate like before." Yu Zhe continued, with a hint of temptation in his tone, "So why don't you move in with me? I can provide you with a safe place to live and a sufficient salary so that you don't have to worry about life anymore."

If you want your pet to follow you willingly, the first thing you need to do is to provide it with food that can feed it and a safe place to live.

In human terms, it means a sense of security or peace of mind.

And Yu Zhe happens to have all of them.

"But..." Yu Zhe's words made Siegfried waver.

An astronomical salary that is enough to buy her 24 hours, and a place where she can sleep peacefully, both of these things are extremely attractive to Siegfried.

Because during these years, it was not only Kiana who was wandering, but also Siegfried.

In order to make money, he has to accept dangerous commissions, and in order to avoid being tracked down by fate, he has to hide from place to place, and even has to be careful when sleeping.

However, her mind told her not to agree to Yu Zhe's conditions so easily, "No!"

Who knows if Yu Zhe will do something strange to me again if I stay here.

If Yu Zhe accidentally stains the baby's room white, her life will be over!

Seeing this, Yu Zhe's smile widened. "Really..." He put on a very regretful expression. "In that case, I won't force it."

Siegfried: "Hmm?"

Yu Zhe's unusual behavior actually set off alarm bells in Siegfried's heart. In Siegfried's opinion, Yu Zhe would never give up easily.

She couldn't help but think in her heart: "Will I fall into his trap again?"

Sure enough, Yu Zhe's next words directly shattered her idea of ​​leaving.

"I don't know how long it will take you to go back and forth. During this time, if something happens to Kiana..." He deliberately prolonged his voice, with a hint of threat flashing in his eyes.

Siegfried's face turned pale instantly, "No! You can't do that to Kiana!"

Kiana is her only relative in this world, and she will never allow anyone to hurt her.

Seeing this, Yu Zhe's smile became even brighter. "So you plan to stay with me? My dear Siegfried~" He approached Siegfried step by step, staring at her with his fiery eyes, as if he wanted to devour her.

Siegfried couldn't help but take a step back, but bumped into the sofa behind him.

She stared at Yu Zhe with wide eyes, feeling a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

She knew that she had fallen into Yu Zhe's trap again and could not escape.

"And my dear friend, it would be a great advantage to both of us if you stayed, wouldn't it?"

The second condition for making your pet follow you willingly is to let it know that once it leaves you, it will lose its current good life and fall into dire straits again.

That is a sense of crisis.

As a type of animal, humans can also be domesticated as pets.

This has nothing to do with wisdom, because it is an instinct engraved in the genes of life and a fundamental inferiority derived from the desire for survival.

Looking at Yu Zhe who kept approaching him, Siegfried couldn't help but clench his fists, "Damn it!"

But Siegfried had to admit that Yu Zhe's conditions and reasons did make her stay.

"I just told you the pros and cons, but the choice is still yours." Yu Zhe looked at Siegfried. "You made this decision voluntarily after knowing everything, didn't you?"

This is conspiracy.

Whether Siegfried accepts or refuses, it is the best choice for Yu Zhe.

"Besides, we are not sworn enemies. We can get along very happily." Yu Zhe held Siegfried's hands and said gently, "Didn't we just get along very happily, my dear friend?"

"You can try to trust me, even if it's just a little bit, I will never let you down."

"Just like we did at dinner, okay? My dear Siegfried."

That fiery gaze made it difficult for Siegfried to look directly at it.

Siegfried bit his lower lip, struggle flickering in his eyes.

She knew that Yu Zhe was indeed a bad guy, but so far, he didn't seem to have done anything evil that she could not accept.

Even if something happened during the day, it was all her own fault.

"But I have three rules." Siegfried finally spoke, his voice trembling. "You can't touch my body without my permission; you can't do that to Kiana; you can't hurt Kiana."

Yu Zhe smiled and nodded. "Of course, my dear friend, I can agree to your conditions. I've already said I won't hurt you or Kiana." However, he changed the subject and said, "But... I also need to use one of the conditions you agreed to."

Siegfried's heart suddenly tightened, "What do you want to do?" She looked at Yu Zhe nervously, her body tensed involuntarily.

Yu Zhe smiled and said, "Come take a bath with me, Siegfried." His tone was relaxed and natural, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

However, to Siegfried's ears, these words were like a bolt from the blue. Yu Zhe's smile was more like the devil's evil smile after his conspiracy succeeded. "What?!"

Yu Zhe asked, "Isn't it possible?"

"Of course not..." Siegfried was about to retort, but when she looked up and saw Yu Zhe's deep eyes, her momentum suddenly weakened.

She recalled the consequences of her previous rejection of Yu Zhe, consequences she could not afford.

"Uh...okay..." Siegfried's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, but she still nodded reluctantly.

Now she finally understood that she had no choice since she agreed to stay.

No, it should be earlier.

Seeing this, Yu Zhe showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He took Siegfried's hand and walked towards the bathroom, "Then let's take a shower, dear~"

The last and most important rule when raising a pet is to always maintain your dominant position.

Remember that you are raising a pet, not a master.

13. Fragile Female Siegfried (Fog)

The bathroom was filled with mist and the lights were soft and dim.

Yu Zhe let go of Siegfried's hand and began to unbutton his shirt.

His movements were very natural, as if he was doing something very normal.

But Siegfried was extremely nervous. She stood in the middle of the bathroom, looking at Yu Zhe helplessly, her eyes swallowing unconsciously at the scene before her.

Now Siegfried's heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his chest.

Nervousness, embarrassment, shyness, all kinds of emotions intertwined in Siegfried's heart.

"Why...why did I agree to such a ridiculous request?" Siegfried muttered to himself, regret surging like a tide.

At this moment, Siegfried really wanted to kill himself from the moment before.

She regretted it, but she knew she had no way out.

Now her body seemed to be frozen, unable to take a single step, let alone escape from this suffocating atmosphere. With no way to retreat, she could only grit her teeth and barely hold on.

Isn't it just taking a bath with a man? It's not like she didn't take a bath with her dad when she was a child.

But is this right?
