Collapse Iron: After watching the simulation, they all turned to the dark side.

"Okay, come over to my house tonight." Lu Qing had no doubt about the research ability of a genius, even if he was just a young genius.

Lu Qing glanced at the beautiful woman in ancient style beside him who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and then spoke in an annoyed tone.

"Get to the point, stop dawdling."

"Um, could you please not cheat on me while you're my contract boyfriend? I'm a little bothered by that."

Lu Qing was completely baffled.

No, Ruan Mei, is that all you have in your head?

Something doesn't feel right, sister. Are you Ruan Mei? You seem more like a yaoi fangirl.

"I'm not a jerk. In fact, I've never even had a boyfriend. Otherwise, guess why I would choose you as my contract girlfriend?"

[Fireworks: I was just kidding, I only wanted to copy your talent.]

[Aista: Hehe, Qingbao must still be a virgin, right? ????]

[Silver Wolf: Don't make your brother Qing laugh.]

"So, are you still going to touch my leg?"

"I'm going to kiss your lips raw!" Lu Qing was about to lose her composure. This was completely out of their league. My God, how did I end up with this kind of silly, ancient-style beauty?

But you know what, it's actually kind of interesting.

[Silver Wolf: You're spouting rhymes, are you preparing for graduate school?]

Forget it, calm down, calm down. I can't actually do that just because I'm a believer in pleasure.

After carefully analyzing the underlying reasons for Ruan Mei's actions, Lu Qing could easily guess the reason.

She now sees herself as her only hope, which is why she tries to please herself without restraint.

It's quite humble; you can even see a shadow of your former self in it.

Thinking about it carefully, I realized I was really a beast; I even tampered with the house that Ruan Mei rented.

If you label that ancient air conditioner with a level 5 energy efficiency rating as a level 1 energy efficiency green and environmentally friendly one, then it's definitely an energy-absorbing behemoth.

Hopefully, you won't faint when it's time to pay the electricity bill at the end of the month.

Lu Qing intended to help Ruan Mei, but the progress of copying was too slow due to the occasional meetings.

Forcing her to stay by his side is the best option.

I've had to become a CS player; I'll just have to buy a couple of family photos from the store when I have time.

Don't blame me.

[Star: Could this be the legendary Level 5 Electricity-Absorbing Beast? A terrifying piece of furniture that can use up dozens of kilowatt-hours of electricity in just one night.]

[March 7th: Lao Qing is becoming more and more like a CS player; Aha is really causing trouble.]

[Fireworks: Putting aside the facts, he's actually quite kind.]

Chapter 35 The Divine Body of a Natural Clothes Hanger

Lu Qing noticed that Ruan Mei seemed to have a hidden unease, but she still forced a smile.

"What are you thinking about, Ruan Mei?"

"I... I'm wondering if I'll be disliked. It seems that, apart from my face, I don't have anything to offer to please your aunt."

"Is that what you think?"

"There's no need to worry about that. Both my father and mother wanted me to become an academic researcher, but in the end, I didn't follow their wishes. I've secretly checked, and you've published several highly influential papers, so there's no need to worry."

"You've investigated me thoroughly, but I still know almost nothing about you. By the way, do you even know my measurements?"

"I know, but I couldn't find that information. However, my eyes are my ruler."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mei snorted inwardly.

Sure enough, this is a complete scumbag. After interacting with so many women, it's easy to see his true colors.

Lu Qing didn't know what Ruan Mei was thinking, but he knew it couldn't be anything good.

But it doesn't really matter. Once we copy Ruan Mei's talent, we can just kick her aside.

Other people's opinions are not that important.

Ruan Mei has a great figure, extremely tall and with perfect curves, and can pull off any type of clothing well, which reminds Lu Qing of the joy of dress-up in adult games.

He buys everything he thinks looks good, since he has plenty of money.

Until she leaned forward slightly, panting, bringing an unparalleled sense of oppression, and Lu Qing remained unfazed as he smelled the refreshing plum blossom fragrance emanating from the young girl.

"What's wrong."

"I'm hungry and tired, I want to rest."

But in reality, this was a lie. Ruan Mei was shocked when she saw the astronomical figures on the tags. Young girls undoubtedly love beauty, and no girl dislikes shopping, but she knew very well that these were not things she should want.

To deal with my aunt, I don't actually need to wear so many clothes; I can just pick one out.

"Let's go back first."

"Aren't we going to eat first?" Ruan Mei asked, biting her lip, as she wore a light blue cheongsam with plum blossom patterns.

She is really hungry.

"I'm used to cooking for myself."

"But you're so rich, do you still have to cook for yourself?"

Lu Qing wasn't too surprised to notice Ruan Mei's confusion.

"I'm very frugal, even quite strict with myself. And another thing, I really enjoy the process of cooking, especially when the people I care about smile because of the delicious food."

[Black Tower: The memories are still killing me.]

[Aista: So, he must be talking about me! Wow, so cool!!]

"Someone he cares about? Is he talking about me?" Ruan Mei had a feeling that it wasn't him; it was as if he was looking at someone's shadow through her.

[Ruan Mei: @Heita, am I also part of your play?]

As a young girl, Ruan Mei keenly sensed that he had something on his mind, but she considered it important for her, as his contract girlfriend, to keep the creditor happy.

So she tiptoed and reached out to gently brush her hand over his head as if to comfort him.

"Don't touch my head, thank you." Although she could sense that the girl meant no harm, Lu Qing really didn't like being patted on the head.

You know, the last person who dared to touch his head is still fine to this day.

[Star: What is this? There must be a sun in the sky. And you must use rice to cook rice.]

[Fireworks: Note that the simulation is playing at night; Lu Qing is the simulator's sun.]

[Xia Die: @Bai E, this is the sun of Onphalus.]

[Seele: @Bronya, this is the sun in Belloberg.]

[Fireworks: @Sunday, I know, this is the sun in Pinocchio.]

[Haiserin: @Kerudela, this is my sun.]

March 7th: It seems something strange has infiltrated.

【Kerudela: Death penalty, to be carried out immediately.】

[Black Swan: The live stream is full of sunshine, I'm going to get dehydrated.]

"Fireworks Live Streaming Room renamed Joyful Live Streaming Room to AiETV"

[Star: A tribute to the legendary Black Swan.]

"I'll remember." The girl's eyes curved into crescents, and she seemed to sense the boy's embarrassment. Her pear-shaped figure pressed even closer, and when Lu Qing looked up, he felt an overwhelming dizziness.

"Ruan Mei, there's no need to flatter me like this. I believe your future achievements will be worth my current investment."

Ruan Mei also breathed a sigh of relief. Her heart had been in her throat just now, but she could accept the worst possible outcome.

Her research into life has reached such a depth that she believes human nature is also a part of life.

She discovered that men possess something that arises after possession, a bond called responsibility.

In other words, as soon as Lu Qingwei stood up, her goal was achieved. Although she was reluctant deep down, it was the best solution she could come up with.

However, it seems that this humanoid succubus's choice was somewhat unexpected.

"You're not frigid, are you?" Ruan Mei suddenly asked from the passenger seat.

Lu Qingzhen really wanted to shut her up.

"You'll find out if you stay at my house for one night."

Stepping over the marble slabs that were pure gold, and with the lifelike white jade reliefs hanging upside down from the pure white dome overhead, Lu Qing led Ruan Mei home.

The room was large, but filled with greenery. All sorts of flowers bloomed in every corner, their fragrance filling the air. There were so many of them, all precious treasures that Ruan Mei had only ever seen in books.

"You like flowers?" Ruan Mei's eyes lit up.

"Well, actually, my dream a long time ago was to be a gardener, and I also wanted to have a cat."

"Then why didn't you raise one? You don't need the money."

"Because cats and flowers cannot coexist, and besides, my life is not only a mess but also extremely terrible, so how could I possibly raise a cat well?"

This level of negative emotion is off the charts.

"What do you want to eat?" Lu Qing decisively changed the subject.

"I just want to eat pastries."

"Do you not like staple foods?"

"Well, at first, my mother tried to get me to like rice and similar foods, but because of their indulgence, I ended up eating mainly pastries."

"Then such parents are very good."

"Unfortunately, my father is gone, and so is my mother..."

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thoughtful enough."

[Star: That night, Lao Qing got up and slapped herself. I deserve to die!]

[Hanabi: I don't feel that guilty.]

"But do you know how to make pastries? It must be quite troublesome."

Lu Qing couldn't remember the last time anyone had questioned her cooking skills.

Ruan Mei made up her mind that even if it was hard to swallow, she would eat it all up.

[Black Tower: ...]

[Fireworks: @Daheita, do you feel uncomfortable, like someone snatched away a teddy bear you once hugged?]

[The Great Black Tower: What's it to you?]

[Star: In a secluded corner where no one was watching, Estella fell unconscious once again.]

However, the aroma of osmanthus wafting from the kitchen made Ruan Mei unconsciously swallow.

The fragrance of flower petals, glutinous rice, lotus leaves, and frosting sugar—her favorite things—are mixed together and baked little by little to create a delightful aroma.

She suddenly felt like crying.

This was just a little whim of the young girl. She hadn't eaten pastries for a long time because she wanted to save money for her mother's medical treatment.

The girl had to suppress her desires.

Because, apart from her parents and grandmother, no one else would care about the girl's little whims.

"Here, Ruan Mei, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold." The boy still had that poker face that showed no emotion whatsoever.

However, this slight concern inexplicably penetrated the girl's heart, which was covered by a hard shell.

“I think you could take very good care of the cat,” Ruan Mei said with a smile in her eyes.
