Zongman: Even if I am reborn, I still want to live my daily life

However, this time Yang Nai timed it perfectly and pushed Gao Yumo a little, otherwise she would almost be unable to breathe again, which would not be fun. Although the feeling of kissing was very good, as she said, there was plenty of time and no need to rush. Gao Yumo understood this principle, and after Yang Nai signaled to him, he let go of her.

Yang Nai licked her lips with her tongue, a very seductive gesture, but it had no effect on Gao Yumo. It wasn't that Gao Yumo couldn't be seduced, but rather that Gao Yumo knew exactly when to do what.

"Go find Yukino. Whether you want to reveal our affair is up to you." He kissed Haruno's forehead four or five times, urging her to go find Yukino quickly. Haruno touched her forehead; she had never experienced this before, since neither her mother nor father were the type to do it, and it felt quite novel.

Yang Nai smiled as she looked at Gao Yumo. She was becoming more and more satisfied with Gao Yumo. Coupled with the fact that her feelings for him had already reached near the top, Yang Nai felt that she had completely fallen in love with Gao Yumo. His cooking skills were really too good.

Moreover, she could sense that this was from her true feelings, rather than being controlled or anything like that. It was an effect achieved by recalling the time they spent together, combined with some special emotions. However, if someone who had never been in contact with him took it, it would have no effect at all. So, although it was very powerful, it also had significant limitations. It all depended on whether he could further enhance this ability. Yang Nai was very curious.

The more she fell in love with Gao Yumo, the more she understood that she couldn't tell Yukino about this right now. However, she could tell her that she and Gao Yumo had made up. Well, that was all she could say for now. She couldn't say anything else for the time being. Knowing Yukino's personality, saying too much would not be a good thing. She tends to overthink things.

Chapter 163 Girls Falling into Illusions (1st Update)

"smell good."

Gao Yumo has already prepared the double-skin milk pudding and sent a message in the group asking the girls to come downstairs and eat it.

Umaru was in the living room, so she was the fastest to run. As soon as she saw the message, she ran over and smelled a strong milky aroma as soon as she entered the kitchen.

"Does it smell good?" Gao Yumo smiled at her and placed a bowl in front of her. "Eat it while it's hot, it will taste different when it's cold."

Umaru was taken aback and asked uncertainly, "Don't we have to wait for the others?"

"No need, just eat as soon as you arrive. It's just dessert before the meal. I haven't even started cooking yet. Besides, some people might not eat it. Are we all just going to wait?" Gao Yumo rubbed her head. "Eat."

This was the solution Gao Yumo came up with. Although Yang Nai said there wouldn't be any problems, Gao Yumo still decided to separate the girls' eating times so that he could handle any issues that might arise.

"Then I'll eat it." Umaru nodded. If her brother said she could eat it, then she would. However, she didn't eat it right away. Instead, she suddenly looked behind her, as if she had just remembered something. "Gabriel, you're walking way too slowly!"

Gabriel arrived late, accompanied by Yuki; these were the same people who had been in the living room earlier.

"You're running too fast." Gabriel's stamina has plummeted since she fell from grace. Before, she could keep up with Umaru without any problem.

"Isn't Yukino here?" Gao Yumo glanced behind them; neither Yukino nor Haruno had come.

"Her sister called her over," Yuki answered her brother, then looked at the bowls of white desserts on the kitchen counter. "Is this the dessert my brother was talking about making for the first time? He messaged us to come over quickly, it must be delicious, right?"

Gao Yumo smiled without answering her question, and Youxi became even more curious when she saw her brother's reaction.

"Yuki, Gabriel, come on, take a bowl too, let's eat together. I can hardly resist, it smells so good!" Seeing that her brother didn't stop her, Umaru went over and took two bowls and handed them to the two of them. "Brother said to eat as soon as you come, otherwise the taste will change when it gets cold."

"I see." Yuki nodded. That explained why she sent them a message instead of waiting until dinner or having it as dessert. The taste was different when it was cold; it was definitely better to eat it while it was hot.

While she was thinking, Gabrielle, who had just received the double-skin milk pudding, scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth. Why say so much when there's food to eat? She had no doubt about Gao Yumo's cooking skills and felt very reassured about the food; it was bound to be delicious.

Her eyes changed the moment she tasted it; it was so delicious! Several times better than she had imagined!

Umaru and Yuki didn't notice the change in her expression. Instead, they watched her eat and then scooped up a spoonful and ate it themselves.

All three were instantly stunned by the deliciousness of Gao Yumo's double-skin milk pudding, and then lost in a dreamlike state.

Gao Yumo witnessed the whole thing from the side. Sure enough, no one can resist the first bite, even if Gabriel is an angel.

I wonder what they'll remember? Gabriel is alright, since the two haven't known each other for very long, and there are even fewer moments worth remembering about them. But as for Umaru and Yuki's memories, Gao Yumo has absolutely no idea, since there are just too many.

Of course, it's very likely that this was Yuki's first time, since it's the most memorable thing for her, something Umaru would never have guessed.

While the three of them were trapped in the illusion, Gao Yumo took the hot double-skin milk pudding to the dining room outside the kitchen. After all, although the kitchen was large, it wasn't good for them to be trapped in the illusion there, so it was better to eat it in the dining room.

The next one to arrive wasn't Yukino or Haruno, as Gao Yumo had expected, but Kuriko. She even teleported there instantly after confirming that no one was paying attention to her, which shows how powerful desserts are to her. She doesn't just like coffee jelly; she likes all kinds of desserts, with coffee jelly being just her favorite.

"Eat up," Gao Yumo said to her with a smile, wondering if she would fall into an illusion with the first bite. However, she hadn't been able to resist the illusion with the painting last time, so it was unlikely she would this time either.

Chestnut ignored Gao Yumo's thoughts, sat in her seat, took the double-skin milk pudding Gao Yumo handed her, and started eating it right away. Just looking at it made her look happy.

To Gao Yumo's surprise, Chestnut didn't fall into an illusion after taking a bite, and she didn't even finish the bowl. The bowl wasn't big, and she finished it quickly, with a very happy smile on her face. She felt the happiness of eating a perfect dessert, as well as the happiness brought to her by the emotions that Gao Yumo had poured into the dessert. After all, Chestnut was also part of that love.

As she took the last bite, Chestnut suddenly dropped the spoon into the bowl. Her eyes changed, and she couldn't hold on any longer, falling into an illusion. It seems that her skill level hasn't really broken through to LV10 yet; the desserts she makes still can't compare to Chestnut's superpowers and willpower.

However, LV10 is definitely possible. The previous painting has already proven this point. Although that painting was the highest masterpiece of painting skills and not an ordinary LV10 painting, Gao Yumo was still able to tell the difference. At the same time, he trusted the system and did not believe that chestnuts could block the system's skills.

He looked curiously towards the doorway, wondering who would be next.

After all, not everyone carries their phone around to check messages all the time, so they might not see it immediately.

For example, the people in the activity room were like that. When they were working, they wouldn't even look at their phones, even if they were right next to them. And the sound was probably turned off and then put on vibrate. Of course, if Kato Megumi were there, she would definitely hear it, since Megumi plays on her phone when she has nothing to do. She has a slight phone addiction, and she will definitely take out her phone to check it when she has nothing to do.

However, Kato Megumi isn't always in the activity room; she has her own things to do, such as practicing voice acting. Gao Yumo teaches her voice acting every evening, but voice acting also requires a lot of practice.

Nanami did the same. After confirming over the past few days that Mashiro was very well-behaved while drawing in the activity room, she stopped accompanying Mashiro there and instead went to practice voice acting. After all, she was about to do voice acting for the club's game, and she needed to be prepared. Kato Megumi had also been practicing with her these past few days, trying to help Nanami familiarize herself with the lines as soon as possible.

Suddenly, footsteps approached rapidly at the door, and it was clear from the sound that the voice was coming from someone running.

"I'm number one!" Satania ran over quickly. Since she was at home, there was no rule against running in the hallway, so she ran over as fast as she could, wanting to be number one. But she soon saw Chestnut sitting there and was a little disappointed. She didn't notice that something seemed off about Chestnut; Satania wouldn't notice such details.

"Wasn't I first? I ran so fast for nothing." She said dejectedly, but the smell of milk in the air quickly made her forget her disappointment, and she moved closer to Gao Yumo.

"It smells so good! I want to eat it!" She awkwardly grabbed Gao Yumo's arm and tried to act cute with her eyes, but she didn't know how to act cute, so she just made faces at him, which made Gao Yumo laugh. He didn't need to guess who taught her; it must have been Laphiel.

He ruffled Satania's hair and handed her a bowl. "You still need to practice your cuteness skills, but it's really great. Okay, sit down and eat. You don't need to wait for the others."

"Mmm!" Satania obediently sat down in her seat and began to eat. Of course, she couldn't resist the first bite and fell into a dream.

Even if Gao Yumo hadn't said that there was no need to wait for the others, Satania wouldn't have waited anyway. To her, no one in the family was as important as Gao Yumo. As long as Gao Yumo was here, that was enough. In fact, she had already subtly come to like, or rather, become dependent on, Gao Yumo.

Aside from being a bit eccentric, Satania is actually a very innocent and well-behaved girl.

Chapter 164 Brother! (2nd update)

"Alright, aren't you coming in?" Gao Yumo called out towards the restaurant entrance as he saw that Satania had also fallen into an illusion.

"I already told you, you can't hide it from Mo Jun."

Vigne's voice came from the doorway, and then she walked in with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Following closely behind her was Raphiel, her face beaming with a satisfied and pleased expression. It seemed she had seen what Satania had done to Gao Yumo; after all, she was the one who taught her, so how could she miss watching? The result pleased her greatly, and judging from Mo Jun's reaction to Satania, Satania would probably do this often in the future, providing some entertainment.

Vinette, completely unaware of the situation, was stopped by Raphiel, who was hiding at the door, upon arrival. Raphiel made an excuse, saying she wanted to see if Gao Yumo could spot them and also observe the interaction between Satania and Gao Yumo. The naive Vinette believed her.

The two of them had just turned their heads to watch Satania and Gao Yumo's interaction, but Winette genuinely thought she hadn't been discovered and that their actions were very discreet.

"We're here, Mo Jun! It smells so good!" Winette blushed slightly. It was a little embarrassing to be discovered while hiding, and she also realized that what had just happened must have been Raphiel's prank. Being pranked by her made her even more embarrassed, so she could only change the subject.

Fortunately, Mo Jun didn't mind her behavior or say anything more. Instead, he went along with her and continued talking. Otherwise, she would have been even more embarrassed.

“It really smells delicious. Here, this is for you.” Gao Yumo smiled and nodded, handing two bowls of double-skin milk to them. “Eat it while it’s hot. The taste will be different when it’s cold. You don’t need to wait for the others.”

He still uses the same rhetoric.

Vinette didn't sense anything was wrong. Gao Yumo's words made a lot of sense, so after taking the double-skin milk pudding, she thanked Gao Yumo and scooped up a spoonful, putting it in her mouth. She was instantly transported into a dreamlike state by the incredible deliciousness.

But Raphiel was different. She wasn't a simple demon like Vinette. The enemy noticed Satania's difference and also saw Chestnut. Although Chestnut was usually quiet, she wouldn't just walk in without saying hello. Moreover, judging from her appearance, Raphiel thought of the painting from that day and understood Gao Yumo's true purpose.

"Has your culinary skills also reached the pinnacle of the world?" Raphiel asked Gao Yumo directly.

Gao Yumo didn't hide anything and nodded, "That's right, that's how it is. So I'm letting you all try it. The effect is that you'll fall into an illusion created by the emotions I infused into these desserts, and you'll wake up after a while. As for more effects, we'll have to try it to find out."

“I see.” Raphiel nodded. “I understand now. What kind of emotion was being infused?”

“It’s my love for you all,” Gao Yumo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Raphiel didn't hesitate. She scooped up a spoonful of double-skin milk and put it in her mouth. It was no longer a matter of hesitation; she had already fallen into a dreamlike state.

As more and more people fell into the illusion, the girls arrived one by one. They could then sense that something was wrong, and Gao Yumo would explain the reason to them directly.

When they heard that Gao Yumo had poured his love into these desserts, they ate them without hesitation.

Gao Yumo watched as all the girls in the house arrived one by one, and after taking a bite, they all fell into a dream. He smiled and thought, "Now we just have to wait for the results." According to his judgment, the girls who had a higher level of affection for him were less likely to wake up from this batch of double-skin milk pudding infused with his love.

Yang Nai had few memories of her because he hadn't spent much time with her and was mostly prejudiced during those times, so he woke up quickly.

But the girls at home are different. Even Nanami, who has only spent a short time with him, has feelings for him that are incomparable to those for Haruno before, so it will take her a while to wake up.

However, if she wakes up too late, the double-skin milk pudding might get cold. Gao Yumo hadn't actually considered this, but it's okay. Although the texture of the double-skin milk pudding changes when it gets cold, it doesn't get worse. It just feels different, and it's still very delicious.

While the girls were still not awake, Gao Yumo was considering whether to mark their bowls and then pick them up to keep them warm.

The sound came from the kitchen, and Gao Yumo knew who it was as soon as she heard it.

Gabriel woke up. As the first person to eat, she was indeed the first to wake up. Moreover, based on Gao Yumo's assessment of the effect, Gabriel's affection for Gao Yumo was indeed relatively low compared to the other girls. Of course, it was relatively low, but in reality, it was quite high.

He walked over quickly and found that Gabrielle didn't care at all why the two people next to her weren't reacting. Instead, after regaining her senses, she picked up the double-skin milk and continued eating, without thinking about the memories she had experienced.

By the time Gao Yumo walked over to talk to her, she had already wolfed down the rest of the double-skin milk pudding and then fell into a dreamlike state again, before Gao Yumo could even utter a word.

He raised an eyebrow; Gabriel's personality had truly become completely different after she fell from grace.

Let's wait and see. The order in which they wake up should be the same as the order in which they eat. After all, even if we convert the girls' affection for him into numbers, it's mostly 85 or higher, so it doesn't really matter much about the order in which they wake up.

As expected, Umaru and Yuki woke up almost at the same time. After waking up, they did not continue eating like Gabriel, but began to think about what those memories they had just seen were all about.

Then they saw Gao Yumo standing next to them, and Xiaomai immediately asked a question.

"Brother, what just happened to us?"

Gao Yumo smiled and explained the changes in his cooking skills to them. The two women nodded in understanding, realizing that's how it was.

"I never expected that after reaching the pinnacle of painting, my brother's cooking skills would also be on track to reach that level. You're getting more and more amazing, brother!" Yuki said happily, her gaze towards Takayu Mo not showing the same obvious change as it had just undergone with Yono.

It seems that for someone with a high level of affection, the increase in affection wouldn't be significant, but there would definitely be some improvement. However, for Yuki, who already loves Gao Yumo very much, that slight improvement would be negligible.

Xiaomai has changed more. The familial affection she used to have in her eyes when she looks at Gao Yumo has disappeared, replaced by love. She has also realized in her memories that her feelings for her brother are love, not familial affection, or rather, more than just familial affection.

As expected, the effect was quite strong, Gao Yumo thought to himself, although it was just observation and could not be confirmed.

"Brother!" Umaru suddenly called out.

"What's wrong?" Gao Yumo looked at her curiously.

But she shook her head, a bright smile on her face: "It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to call your name!"

Gao Yumo understood that he hadn't guessed wrong; Xiaomai's feelings for him had indeed changed and become even better. However, just as Yang Nai had said, nothing bad had happened, so he was relieved. This time, Yang Nai wasn't lying after all.

"Alright, eat quickly, it'll get cold soon," Gao Yumo reminded them, though she actually wanted them to experience the illusion again.

The two women nodded, looked at the double-skin milk in front of them, and then glanced at Gabriel beside them.

"Won't you fall into an illusion after just one bite?" Yuki asked uncertainly.

"No, except for the first bite, you have to finish the whole thing to get rid of it."

"That's good."

The two were relieved and continued eating, then fell into a hallucination.

Neither of them spoke of their hallucinations, but judging from their reactions upon waking, they must have been very pleasant memories.

Chapter 165 Gao Yumo Gets Forcibly Kissed! (1st Update)

Seeing that they had fallen into the illusion again, Gao Yumo walked to the restaurant. Seeing that the girls were still in the illusion, she could only wait.

Suddenly he noticed something was wrong: there was one less bowl of double-skin milk pudding. He must not have made just one bowl for each person; there were plenty left over, so that anyone who wanted some could have some. It was always like this.

He looked at Chestnut and knew without a doubt who had done it. There was now another empty bowl in front of Chestnut, and she had fallen into an illusion again. It seemed that she had already woken up once, realized Gao Yumo's thoughts, and then judged that it wouldn't hurt to eat another bowl, so she ate it. Besides, the others hadn't woken up yet, so it didn't matter to her.

Anyway, she'll only wake up faster after the first time, and she's very adaptable. Gao Yumo's assessment of what it might mean to be lucid might not apply to her.

While Gao Yumo was looking at the chestnuts, Yang Nai arrived with Yukino. It seemed the two sisters had talked a lot, and Yukino's mood had improved. Yang Nai must have told her some things, though it's uncertain how much of it was true and how much was false.

"That's quite a sight." Yang Nai entered and immediately understood the situation by looking at the girls. Intrigued, she scanned their faces. "Are none of them awake yet?"

"Yes, but after eating it, I fell into a hallucination."

Yang nodded knowingly, looking at the girls. So this is what it's like to be trapped in an illusion. She must have been like this before.

However, if she hadn't experienced the illusion beforehand, she wouldn't have been able to tell that there was anything different about being in a daze. It was similar to being in a daze, and anyone who didn't know would just think that they were daydreaming. But when so many people were daydreaming at the same time, it was obvious that something was wrong.

"What's going on?" Yukino looked at the girls in surprise, suddenly realizing that the situation was actually a bit strange.

Gao Yumo explained it to her, and she nodded. It was unclear whether she believed it or not, but seeing her sister's sudden change, she had no choice but to believe it, right? After all, it was really hard to tell that her sister disliked Mo before, but now, let alone dislike, it felt like she was about to say she loved Mo when she was talking to her.

It must be that Gao Yumo gave her sister something special that caused her current changes. She doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but she feels more at ease when her sister and Gao Yumo have a better relationship. She doesn't care that her sister also likes Mo. After all, she now understands that she has already ruined her own chance once, and now she can only accept it. She doesn't want to break the relationship that she finally managed to repair again.

"Can I give it a try?" Yukino's question indicated that she had begun to believe him. This was mainly because she had spent more time with Gao Yumo and knew him better, recognizing him as a genius. This gave her a basic level of trust, unlike Yang Nai before.

"Of course." Gao Yumo picked up a bowl and handed it to her. "It's a little cold, but it's definitely edible, though the taste will be different."

Yukino nodded, took the double-skin milk pudding, found a seat, looked at the unfamiliar dessert in front of her, which smelled very fragrant, hesitated for a moment, but still took a bite out of trust in Gao Yumo, and then fell into an illusion.
