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

Lu Qing was still slightly uneasy about Ruan Mei's mother wanting to see him.

Having been single for two lifetimes, he has a natural fear of meeting your parents. Sensing your dilemma, ah, I'll offer you a pleasurable option.

You can choose the following items to visit Ruan Mei's mother.

"A. Executive jacket + Audi"

"B. Flying Fairy Moutai + Hua Zi!"

"C. A heavily modified version of the Ghostfire character + blond hair!"

"D-ultrasound scans + arrogance!"

"E. Actual Machine Operation"

In response, Lu Qing's reaction was, "Aha, are you out of your mind?!"

Why would a woman need Moutai and Huazi?

As for the heavily modified Ghostfire and Yellow Hair, all that can make people weep and collapse is that.

[Sunday: Just thinking about this scene sends chills down my spine.]

[Fireworks: Robin: @Sunday, brother, he's different.]

[Sunday: Day One, In the Beginning of Things! Fantastic Choir, Dominix! Open!!!]

As for the ultrasound image and the arrogance, that's utter nonsense. Did I get pregnant just because I touched her head?

Am I perhaps the God of Procreation?

As expected, Ah Ha is unreliable; I can only rely on myself.

Bring two pounds of pork ribs, that's a good idea.

[March 7th: Huh?!]

[Star: When I type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, it's that I think you have a problem.]

[Fireworks: As expected of the people in our tavern, the level of joy here is off the charts.]

Ruan Mei: You'll bring a gift later, right?

Lu Qing: Would two catties of pork ribs be okay?

Lu Qing stared at the chat box in silence for a long time, then a message popped up.

Ruan Mei: I remember you have carnations growing at home, so I think it would be better to wear these.

Lu Qing pondered for a moment and felt that it did make a lot of sense.

This item has a good meaning.

Let's do it that way then.

Jade Palace Immortal Boat, Alchemy Cauldron Office.

Ruan Mei was waiting at the door early on, and when she saw Lu Qing arrive, she hurriedly waved.

Lu Qing casually put away his umbrella and then walked to Ruan Mei's side.

She stretched out her delicate hand and waved it in front of Lu Qing.

"Hold my hand?"

"My mother is very perceptive, so don't let her see through it later. Besides, you won't be at a disadvantage."

What do you mean I'm not at a disadvantage? The men who are pursuing me could line up from the Jade Palace Immortal Ship to the Black Tower Space Station. Do they even know how valuable the Immortal Ship conglomerate is?

But those hands are quite beautiful, on the other hand.

It seems like I'm not losing out at all!

Or, we could just hold hands.

[Fireworks: Are you looking for Sichuan Opera face-changing?]

[Black Tower: I can't take it anymore, I don't want to watch this anymore, it's too torture. Watching this is worse than killing me. Everyone is betraying me.]

"Estella: River Flows Backwards"

[Fireworks: @BlackTower, do it! Reclaim your little follower! Don't wait until he's corrupted and you're left alone in bed listening to the clock ticking in the opposite direction.]

[Ruan Mei: It was just an impromptu performance. @BlackTower.]

[Fireworks: Without improvisation, how can there be a real-life drama?]

[Black Tower: You better not let me catch you. @Fireworks]

Holding Ruan Mei's hand, they arrived at a hospital ward.

The emaciated woman mustered her strength and sat up against the hospital bed.

"Xiao Qing! A Ruan already told me that you are her boyfriend, right?"

"Yes, these are flowers I bought for you."

"What a good child. I hope Ruan Mei hasn't caused you any trouble. She always manages to make a mess of her own life."

Lu Qing chuckled twice and then changed the subject.

As for the reason, you're holding my hand, so why are you holding my palm so tightly? It hurts.

"Xiao Qing, that potion from yesterday must have been very precious, right?"

"No." Lu Qing lied without changing his expression, then calmly turned his head away.

"Ah Ruan, you stepped on my foot."

"Ah Qing, I wasn't paying attention, I'm sorry."

Although his tone was sincere, his provocative expression was still evident.

The episode where I most wanted to unleash a powerful punch.

[Fireworks: @Ruanmei, did you do it on purpose or accidentally?]

[Ruan Mei: It was intentional, an accident. We can't just let him open his mouth and spout nonsense.]

Lu Qing wasn't annoyed. Being stepped on twice wasn't a big deal. On the contrary, he quite liked it. It would be even better if he didn't wear shoes.

[Snowy Robe: Open the door! Ten Kings, your secret has been exposed!]

Ruan Mei's mother nodded as she watched the two playing and frolicking.

It seems they really are a couple; I guess I was just overthinking things.

"Xiaoqing, you don't know, Ruanmei was chubby since she was little, like a ball. She still wanted to sleep with me when she was three, and she was afraid of the dark when she was five..."

"Mother!!!" Ruan Mei cried out anxiously.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore, you silly child."

Lu Qing saw the shadow of that woman in the aunt.

But what do you mean by scratching my palm in such a hurry? It's all red. Could it be that you want to reminisce about the past?

"Auntie, I'm very interested in these things."

[Black Tower: I laughed as I watched. I always thought someone like Ruan Mei had no dark past.]

[Star: As I watched, it felt like all the wrinkles in my brain were being smoothed out.]

[Fireworks: This Lu Qing is too wicked!]

Soon, the girl's flushed cheeks spoke louder than any sweet words.

Lu Qing felt that if she continued talking, she would be about to mention the color of Ruan Mei's leggings.

Ruan Mei grabbed Lu Qing's arm.

"Aqing, come out for a moment."

Looking at those slightly reddened eyes, Lu Qing felt that he should run away.

"Okay, Aruan."

Follow Ruan Mei into the cramped corridor.

"What's wrong? Are you angry, Ruan Mei?"

"No, Mother hasn't laughed happily in a long time."

"That's good. That's good."

"Please don't ask me about my childhood, okay?"

"Okay, I just find it a bit interesting. If you don't like it, I won't ask anymore. Of course, if your mother insists, I can't control her."

Did I step on you and hurt you just now?

"Fortunately, I think it's more like a reward than a punishment. It would be even better if I didn't wear shoes."

Ruan Mei knew she shouldn't be so willful, given how much the other person had helped her, but this request put her in a difficult position.

"Are you a prison guard?"

“I am not, but I have a friend who is. He always tells me how good the jade of young girls is, and I just wanted to try it out.”

"Is it Wu Wu, the one who's been with you?"

"Yes, it's him. The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be."

[Fireworks: Wu Wu: Is this your home?]

[March 7th: I see now, isn't this just making friends out of thin air?]

"You seemed quite pleased with yourself for calling me 'Ah Ruan' all just now, didn't you?"

"You call her 'Aqing' all the time, but it's just an act."

"I really like this name, you can keep calling me that." The girl's tone was sweet and hopeful.

Something's not right, something seems off, but Lu Qing can't quite put her finger on it.

[Star: Something's not right, I can't hold back my maternal smile.]

[March 7th: I'm just going to ship them like crazy! I'm a total shipper, folks, who doesn't understand?! This is just too good to ship!]

"Do you like this nickname? Okay then."

[Fireworks: Isn't this just throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind person?]

[Estella: I think he understands, he's just pretending not to. He doesn't like you at all.]

[Fireworks: If it weren't for that last sentence, I almost would have believed it.]

[Star: Is this what they call an extraordinary wooden-bodied physique?]

Chapter 38 What Electricity-Swallowing Monster?

One month later

"It's been exactly one month since Ruan Mei rented the room. She just glanced at the electricity bill and almost fainted."

How could there be so many? Even if the law enforcement department of Jade Palace Immortal Ship has recently been carrying out a campaign to use electric batons in rural areas, there couldn't possibly be this many.

So, what exactly went wrong?

After carefully reviewing the detailed electricity consumption report, she identified the sticker indicating Level 1 energy efficiency.

"Ruan Mei felt something was wrong the more she looked at it. She frowned and quickly discovered what you had done."

"Gently peel off that green sticker to reveal the true color underneath: a level five red!!! This shocked Ruan Mei for a whole year!!"

"She remembered that many years ago, the Jade Palace Immortal Ship had banned the production of air conditioners with such high energy consumption. Where did they find this electricity-stealing assassin?"

Lu Qing, you bastard from Biyang, no wonder the rent is so cheap, it turns out you're hiding all your stuff in this level 5 electricity-spending assassin.

[March 7th: You have no idea, last time I picked an unlabeled popsicle from the freezer and it cost me 500,000 credits. As expected, assassins are disgusting.]

[Seele: Five hundred thousand, that's enough to buy a loaf of bread.]

[Hanabi: Then let me ask you, is this bread made of gold or silver?]

[Seele: It has a certain meaning.]
