I will never give in to Miss Death

After all, if Zhou Xiaofei was with Li Denghua, Li Denghua wouldn't care about watches at all. She even disdained to communicate with those little brats of the same age. As for buying things on weekdays - "Let's go buy Coke. Don't you have money? It doesn't matter. I'll treat you. I can treat you ten bottles."

It was also because she had few friends in school and was looked down upon by her classmates for being too poor that Zhou Xiaofei would obediently choose the two worst chairs in the last row of the classroom during evening study every day.

Normally, no one would be willing to sit next to Zhou Xiaofei when they saw her sitting on that chair. But that day, when I came in, I didn’t know these “rules”, and I was a new face, so Zhou Xiaofei thought I was a new student and she plucked up the courage to talk to me. That’s how we got to know each other.

"Don't you have that loofah bag here, sister?"

"Eh? What loofah?"

"When the loofah gets old, the seeds fall off and dry up, and that's the soft thing left. My grandma and I use that to wash dishes at home."

"Oh, that one. We don't have that one here. You can use this one. It's a cloth specially used for washing dishes. Put on gloves, or it will be very oily."

In the kitchen, Lan Jiajia obviously liked Zhou Xiaofei's appearance. Even though the little one had basically never seen the many props used in a modern kitchen, she still patiently explained them one by one.

"Put on gloves. This is dishwashing liquid. You should have some at home, right?"

"Yes, but my grandmother and I prefer to wash dishes by the river."

"There's no river near here. Here, this is for washing dishes. And this...be careful, the ground might be a little slippery, okay?"

"Yeah, thank you sister."

This made me, who was watching from outside, very moved.

To be honest, I was still a little worried when I took Zhou Xiaofei home just now, just a little bit.

I’m worried that Zhou Xiaofei is the type of person who doesn’t talk much with strangers, but talks about everything with acquaintances, and even easily “crosses the line”.

Simply put, it is a "naughty child".

I have seen chat records on the Internet more than once where group friends complained about their relatives' children coming over to play at home and making a mess of the house.

Children are ignorant and curious, and they have no concept of "price" for some things in this world. Also, since their parents didn't say anything when they came, when they go to their "older brother" or "older sister"'s house, these naughty kids will probably think, "My dad is here anyway, he will take responsibility if anything happens, I have to see what's here", and then the computer figures at home will suffer.

This is Elodi's rental house. Not to mention that the second floor is Elodi and Lan Jiajia's room, there are many things that are "not suitable for children to touch" in Yin Xiamo's and my room on the first floor, such as the computer that Jiang Wei equipped us.

I checked that computer on the Internet, and it is indeed the current top configuration. The new accessories are estimated to cost around 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. And because the case is customized, it is printed with various two-dimensional patterns of Xiaomo and me. The case is also equipped with a large number of customized interfaces on the upper and lower baffles of the power supply, the graphics card bracket, and near the power supply, and even a secondary screen and a lifting screen. Even the CPU water-cooling radiator is equipped with a small display that can show machine data. The total value is definitely not less than 50,000 yuan.

I usually don’t dare to touch such machines. If they were broken by children, I would be really heartbroken.

However, Zhou Xiaofei is not a so-called "naughty child". She is much more obedient than most of her peers. At least from the moment she entered the house, to the moment she only ate half of the watermelon hoping to take some back to her grandmother, to the moment she asked to wash the dishes, I think Zhou Xiaofei is a child who can be a friend, even though she is still young.

"Okay, okay. Thank you."

After waiting in the living room with Filo and Yin Xiamo for about ten minutes, Lan Jiajia and Zhou Xiaofei finished washing the dishes and pots in the kitchen.

During this time, Philo kept switching TV channels with the remote control, while Yin Xiamo was explaining various "knowledge" -

"This is a TV. It's similar to the magic projection I just told you about. Or you can think of it as a physical version of the succubus' dream magic. But this thing has been mass-produced in this world and is very common. It mainly broadcasts content through a network...satellite. For example, when we flew back at noon, if we were noticed by the satellite, our images at that time would most likely be projected onto it."

"What you are watching now is an animation. The reason why the picture looks like it was drawn is because... it is indeed drawn, not filmed. It is said that when this thing was made, pictures were quickly flipped one by one manually. But I am not sure. I still have a lot to learn."

"Oh, this is the weather forecast. Look at the introduction above. The temperature in Kamihama City will be above 30 degrees in the next week. This is the power of their technology. They can predict the future temperature and climate."

When Philo turned to the weather forecast program, Yin Xiamo subconsciously explained: "In addition to temperature, what they can predict now also includes typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes and other natural disasters. Don't underestimate these disasters. They are fatal to humans who don't know any magic."

"Then I..."

Philo hesitated: "If I...I...um, I make it rain and thunder here, can they predict it?"

"Your is magic, which is different. I've said before that magic is a dimensionality reduction attack on this world. The climate here has a certain trajectory that can be predicted without human intervention. If you suddenly want it to rain, there is no way to predict it. Science can't read minds or predict the future."

Yin Xiamo said with some amusement: "Science... you can think of it as many great magicians joining together, and then using their power to summon a super-large magic that can change the world, affecting ordinary people generation after generation..."

As she was talking, Zhou Xiaofei came out of the kitchen after untying her apron and taking off her gloves: "Sister Nuoer, Sister Xiamo."

"Has it been washed?"

Yin Xiamo stood up and said, "We just told you that there's no need to bother. It's already so late."

"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. This is what I should do. My grandmother always taught me that if you don't work, you don't eat."

Zhou Xiaofei came over very obediently: "I'm really sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, it's okay, let's take you back."

Yin Xiamo handed over the things prepared for Zhou Xiaofei and her grandmother on the table: "Nothing is left here, right?"

"Nothing."

"Oh, then let's go. Is grandma the only one at home?"

"Yes, my mother is working away from home, and she only comes back during the big holidays."

“A big holiday?”

"It's a holiday that allows more than three days off. In the past few years, my mother would come back for Labor Day, National Day, and Qingming Festival. But since the holiday schedule has been changed in recent years, my mother basically only comes back for the Spring Festival."

"Where's your father?"

"My father is gone. He divorced my mother when I was a child."

"Ah...sorry."

"..."

I went out with Yin Xiamo. Because we had a child with us, we couldn't fly directly like we did when we came back. We could only go along the small path near the community with Zhou Xiaofei towards the woods near Nannai Tower.

Along the way, my attention was basically all on Yin Xiamo.

Or rather... In fact, ever since Yin Xiamo said "I like you" just now, I felt that I was a little "confused".

This is the first time someone confessed to me.

No, to be more precise, it was the first time I felt "in love".

When Yin Xiamo said this, it sounded a bit sudden, and seemed to be a bit of a "coping" move, but if you carefully listen to her tone of voice, I can clearly hear that she was using "casualness" to deal with the brief panic in her heart.

In other words, when Xiaomo "confessed" to me, she was actually quite excited inside, but in order to maintain her own "personality", she probably chose that time to say it, making me feel that "this was a very ordinary conversation."

During this month, Xiaomo and I got to know each other and became best friends. A lot of things happened in between. My relationship with her also changed from "This Grim Reaper is so fierce, I want to resist her" at the beginning to "She is my best friend" now.

Yin Xiamo is very bold in doing things, in all aspects.

For example, just a few days after I moved into Elodie's house, she asked to live with me. After we started living together, she "harassed" me in various ways every night, making me think that "such a relationship between girls is normal" and "it's no big deal for two girls to sleep together, and it's no big deal to be used as a pillow." Then she "was pushed down" in the medicinal plant garden, and then... she was eaten.

To be honest, at first I really thought it was normal for girls to hold hands during the day and hug each other at night.

After all, I have never been a girl, so I can only guess.

You see... For example, boys usually play with their mobile phones together in the dormitory. They sleep together when they are tired, or lie on the same bed when they are drunk. It is normal. They take a shower in the dormitory and put on shorts and come out. But boys are not allowed to hold hands outside, but girls can. This should mean that... the relationship control between girls may be "much more relaxed" than that between boys.

When boys go out, the most they do is put their arms around each other's shoulders. Girls can hold hands in addition to putting their arms around each other's shoulders. It's okay for girls who are on good terms to touch each other's breasts in front of everyone or kiss them on the face. So by the same token... boys can sleep together in the dormitory, and girls are a little more relaxed. It's okay for them to touch each other's breasts occasionally while sleeping together, right?

Boys come out of the shower wearing only a pair of pants, and girls come out of the shower wearing nothing at all, and then show off in front of their roommates...that's fine, right?

It was this kind of thinking that made me, an inexperienced person, step into the trap dug by Yin Xiamo little by little, from holding hands and kissing in the beginning, to sleeping together later, to being frank in the shower, and finally... rolling together without clothes on.

Although I know that Yin Xiamo may still have a vague sense of "admiration" or "attachment" to me because of the relationship with the hero in the previous life, I have never thought about it in terms of "love" or "lover".

I thought Xiaomo might need more time to adapt, or more time to develop feelings.

Or, our relationship might be like it is now...always ambiguous, fighting today, whispering to each other tomorrow, without breaking that layer of paper.

I didn't expect her to confess directly.

She said to me directly - "Can you be my girlfriend?"

These few sentences even made me stop worrying about whether I am a "boyfriend" or a "girlfriend" now.

This is a confession!

The most direct confession from a beautiful girl!

I never thought that one day a girl would confess to me, really.

What Jiang Wei said during the days when he met Ye Zi has always left a deep impression on me.

Jiang Wei said, when I was alone, wealth and poverty were just the difference between eating steak and steamed buns at night, and it did not affect my happiness. However, when I met a girl who was willing to give everything, I realized the deep inferiority brought by poverty.

If Jiang Wei is like this, what about me?

Before this, I was just an ordinary uncle who couldn’t even pay the rent.

When I was a student, no matter how pretty the girls around me were, I would hardly look at them for long, because I came from an orphanage, had no parents, and couldn't promise anything. After graduating from college, I was busy with work, so of course I had no time or money to date.

Now a girl suddenly confessed to me. Even though I agreed in a panic just now, my heart is still extremely confused and my brain is blank.

Confession means that from now on I have a lover, we will go hand in hand with each other, I will no longer be alone on the road of "life", I have a warm embrace to lean on, and of course, I also have corresponding responsibilities.

"..."

On the tree-lined path with the sky full of twinkling stars, I quietly glanced at Yin Xiamo beside me.

The bright moonlight shone obliquely on the girl's black lace skirt, casting a mottled shadow on the ground.

The girl's fair face seemed like the most beautiful dewdrop in the world, bathing in the summer stars and flickering slightly in front of my eyes.

"Ok?"

Perhaps sensing my gaze, Yin Xiamo, who was chatting with Zhou Xiaofei, turned around and said, "Nuo'er, what's wrong?"

"what……"

I quickly turned my head back: "Nothing."

"She might be... in love."

Philo said in Mandarin, which he was not very familiar with, "Her heartbeat is very fast now, her energy supply efficiency has increased, and her skin temperature has risen. It may be because of your confession just now... It was a bit sudden..."

"Stop, stop, stop."

I quickly interrupted Philo and said, "Don't think too much. It's just that the weather is too hot. Yes, the weather is too hot."

"Puch..."

Yin Xiamo laughed out loud: "Why, little kitten, do you think the confession just now was not proper or the timing was wrong? Or... because too many people were watching, so you feel embarrassed?"

"No...no."

I quickly explained: "Don't believe what Filo said, she knows nothing..."

"I didn't listen to Philo's nonsense, okay?"

Yin Xiamo looked at my chest and said, "At such a close distance, I can feel your heartbeat and the changes in your body temperature. Your mood is almost written on your face."

hateful……

You guys from other worlds are too cunning, aren't you? How is it possible to detect heartbeat and body temperature directly? Then I can't even lie, right?

"It's understandable, after all, the birthday party was a bit noisy, and the environment wasn't very good."

Yin Xiamo seemed to be thinking about something: "Then what happened just now doesn't count. Nuo'er also looked a little nervous. Let's do it again later."

Eh?

Want to do it... again?

I gave Philo a questioning look.

Come to think of it, Filo’s relationship with Xiaomo is actually better than that with that “hero”, right?

According to records, even if the hero's life span was extended by magic, the time he and Filo fought side by side was only a few hundred years. But later, Yin Xiamo avenged the hero, fought wars in the south and the north, and declared war on the demon king's army. The entire timeline lasted for thousands of years. The time she spent with Filo was definitely dozens of times that of the hero.

This is easy to judge from the images that Philo played for me when he "hypnotized" me on the way back.

When converted into humans, it means: the male protagonist had a very good relationship with his childhood sweetheart when he was young, and the two were together for a year. A year later, the male protagonist moved away and lost contact with his childhood sweetheart. He met a girl in the same class at school, and the two went to junior high school together, high school together, and were admitted to the same university, and went out to work... and have been together for twenty years. With this comparison, one was a childhood sweetheart for one year, and the other was a girlfriend who fell from the sky for twenty years. I believe anyone can know the answer to which one the male protagonist has a deeper relationship with.

The relationship between Filo and Yin Xiamo is more like that of "comrades-in-arms" or "best friends", and she doesn't have the intention of "wanting to fall in love" with the "hero".

Time can change everything, except Xiaomo.

Xiaomo's feeling for the "hero" is truly exclusive and has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Although... the relationship between the hero, the black dragon, the devil, and the other world is indeed a little complicated.

"Don't look at me."

As I stared at him, Filo tilted his head: "I'm waiting... to hold your and Momo's... child."

Well, I don't expect this dragon to say anything.

"arrive!"

Together with Filo, Yin Xiamo and Zhou Xiaofei, we came to the main road near the sea in Nannai District and walked to the end of the road. Zhou Xiaofei took the food from Yin Xiamo and me and pointed to a small house that was barely visible in the woods and said, "That's my home!"

"here?"
