"I don't have much to say about my past. It was a monotonous life, without any ups and downs. To put it simply, it was torturous, but not so bad that you'd want to die. That's how I got through it. Overall, compared to those terrible times, I was doing pretty well. At least I didn't have to worry about not having enough to eat."

Suri casually chatted about her own affairs, then looked at Ifrit: "Someone's here to see you. Did Ifrit finish her homework for today?"

"Don't worry, it's fine if I go back a little later!" Ifrit said proudly, "I usually finish my homework on time, so Himer won't be angry."

"Is that so?" Suri glanced at Himer standing behind Ifrit. Himer's winged hands and reflective round-framed glasses made Himer look very imposing at the moment.

Ifrit didn't notice that Suri's projection was looking behind her, but a hand gently landed on Ifrit's shoulder from behind, causing the little girl to tremble involuntarily. She then stiffly turned her head and met Himer's gaze.

"Heh, Hemo, I didn't mean to not go back, but look, I found Saria again, and Suri is here too."

“…I know, so I don’t blame you, Ifrit. Sit down, I’ll sit here and chat with you.”

As he spoke, Himer sat down next to Ifrit, in the same spot where the projection of Surrey was located.

Once again, someone's projection overlapped with Suri's.

Saria wasn't so concerned this time, but she did feel like laughing.

Suri noticed it too, so he stood up and glared at Saria with annoyance: "What are you laughing at? Come inside and make room for me."

Saria nodded, moved to the side, and sat opposite Ifrit, introducing them as follows:

“Suri is here too, but right now only I can see his projection, right here.”

As she spoke, Saria pointed to the spot next to her, which was opposite Himer.

"Is that so? Hello, Suri." Although Hamer couldn't see Suri, Suri had already proven his existence, and Saria wasn't the type to make jokes like that, so Hamer greeted Suri across from him.

Hello, Hermer.

Then the atmosphere became awkward. Su Rui couldn't think of anything to say for a moment, so she simply remained silent. Anyway, Hermer and the others couldn't see it, so Su Rui didn't need to worry about anything.

Hamer could also sense something from the atmosphere, so she simply tidied Ifrit's hair and started a conversation:

"Speaking of which, what do Suri usually do with Ifrit? I'm just curious. I heard from Seria that you were in charge of taking care of Ifrit during your time in Mansfield, and she became very well-behaved."

"I just taught Ifrit a few things. Finishing her homework early means Ifrit can relax and rest sooner." Of course, Suri wouldn't mention that he would also play games with Ifrit while tutoring her.

If Himeru finds out, even if the gentle Himeru doesn't say anything directly, she'll still limit Ifrit's gaming time, right? Although Himeru is probably already limiting Ifrit's time now.

After chatting with Suri for a while, Suri stood up from her seat: "We'll head back now. Ifrit still has homework to finish. Suri should be at Rhodes Island recently, right? You guys have time later."

With that, Himer took Ifrit's hand and led the little girl away.

Volume 4, Chapter 224: The Day of Physicalization

Ifrit was taken away by Himeru, looking back over again and again, as if hoping that Saria would call her back.

Suri couldn't help but laugh at Ifrit's expression; the little girl was really amusing.

When Suri turned to look at Saria, she found that Saria also had a smile on her face, a genuine smile of happiness.

"Why are you laughing so happily?" Suri asked, puzzled. But Saria didn't answer directly. Instead, she placed the menu in front of Suri and said, "Order whatever you want to drink. We'll take it back with us."

"Oh." Suri assumed that Saria didn't want to stay in this place any longer, so she picked out a few more items. Anyway, they could be put in the refrigerator, so there was no need to worry about them lasting too long.

Saria finished her lemonade and caramel macchiato, then headed to her dorm with the drinks she had bought for Suri.

Back in the room, Suri's projection appeared on Saria's bed, lazily yawning and asking:

"Do you want to continue drinking? If you can't finish it, put it in the refrigerator to store it. There's no rush."

Saria nodded: "I really can't drink anymore."

However, Saria didn't put the drinks in the refrigerator. Instead, she placed them on the table, smiled, and sat on the edge of the bed watching Suri's projection.

"What's wrong?" Suri looked at Saria with some confusion, not understanding what she wanted to do.

But Suri quickly found out the answer, because after seeing Saria's smiling face again, he suddenly felt a weight on his body and a chill.

"..." Looking down at the quilt that was wrinkled under her, Su Rui suddenly realized that the projection had no weight.

"So that's how it is. I originally thought there was still two percent of progress left. Is it because of our chat that the materialization progress is full?"

Suri nodded thoughtfully, then Saria grabbed her tail: "Ouch, be gentle. Speaking of which, Vayvan's tail is not easy to touch; it feels like it's covered in barbs."

Suri wagged her tail and glanced at Saria.

But Saria didn't say much, she just handed him a drink: "Hungry? Have some energy."

"...You wouldn't be thinking of... you know... with me, would you?"

Before Suri could finish speaking, Saria silenced her with a kiss, sticking out her tongue.

"Waaah~" After struggling for a while, Suri realized that even though they were both Vaivans, the difference in their physical abilities was still too great, and she couldn't speak if she couldn't break free.

With this in mind, he had no choice but to use his telepathy to tell Saria something he considered very important:

"If you want to do intimate things, you should prepare more purified water, because sweating too much will make you dehydrated, and I don't think sweet drinks quench your thirst."

Even at a time like this, she was still concerned about this matter. Saria couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing, and in her mind, she also answered Suri's request:

Okay, don't worry, you won't go without water.

"I want real water!"

'Of course I'm talking about regular water, what else are you talking about?'

"Of course I'm talking about proper water." Suri wasn't embarrassed by Saria's teasing; even if she misunderstood, he could still stick to his guns.

Saria smiled, took Suri to the kitchen to get a few bottles of mineral water, and then pounced on Suri again.

Fortunately, Rhodes Island has excellent soundproofing, so even though Saria and Suri were making a lot of noise and even broke the bed, no one outside noticed anything unusual.

If someone were to come and see Saria and Suri's bed right now, they would think that the two of them weren't being affectionate at all; they were probably just trying to get a different bed, which is why they were kicking and punching it.

...Due to the time difference, although it was night when Wanxingyuan ascended into space, it was actually morning when it landed around Rhodes Island.

Saria and Suri didn't eat lunch, and they didn't even respond to phone calls.

It wasn't until evening that passing operators were surprised to discover that a handsome young man with white hair and red eyes, Vyvan, had appeared on Rhodes Island at some point.

The handsome young man was none other than Suri, who was now lazily following Saria as they walked towards the restaurant. Suri wasn't worried about where to sleep; if all else failed, he could ask the Doctor for help, or he could simply sleep on the mattress.

With Suri by her side, both Saria and Suri became the center of attention. Everyone's eyes were drawn to Suri, captivated by his irresistible charm.

Saria frowned slightly, trying to use her aura to make the gazes around her, which were almost glued to Suri, recede.

However, no matter how strong Saria's aura was, Rhodes Island itself was full of hidden talents, and there were always some people who were not afraid of Saria and still stared at Suri carefully.

So, Suri and Seria arrived at the restaurant with a bunch of "people going the same way" behind them.

Saria glanced at Suri, who remained unfazed by the situation, standing behind him and blocking the view of those around them. Then she suggested to Suri, who was selecting food, "Would you like to try some steak?"

"You mean this?" Suri glanced at it and shook her head in refusal: "No, I don't like meat chops with blood on them, and they're hard to chew if they're fully cooked."

"Give it a try. Vayvan has a strong chewing ability. If he can't finish it, I'll eat it."

As Seria spoke, she reached out from beside Suri's cheek and placed a piece of pork chop on Suri's plate.

"Then why don't you just chew it for me and feed it to me?"

Suri tilted her head back, gave Saria a mischievous smile, and then moved aside with her tray to let Saria get her lunch.

Saria was taken aback, not expecting Suri to say that. However, although she didn't understand, she still tentatively said, "Shall we give it a try?"

"Uh, no, no need. I was just saying it offhand. I can't really accept this." Su Rui made a gagging motion and urged:

"Okay, okay, hurry up, I'm starving."

Although Saria had prepared drinks for Suri, Suri felt it was amazing that she hadn't fainted from hunger after fighting all morning until evening and not having eaten anything for lunch.

As we all know, most children love to join in the fun, so Suri and Saria, having attracted so much attention, were quickly spotted by Ifrit, who was having lunch at the restaurant.

Volume 4, Chapter 225: The Fist Hardened

"Saria!" Upon seeing Saria and Suri, Ifrit didn't even glance at them, unaware that everyone around her was watching Saria and Suri. She simply waved and called out as she approached Saria.

It's normal for children not to understand the atmosphere, and Suri and Seria didn't mind. After all, they had already spent almost the entire day being affectionate, so a little more wouldn't make a difference.

Both Suri and Saria just wanted to have a nice dinner at the restaurant, especially Suri, who didn't want to go hungry.

As for those around who were openly "peeping," some of them might indeed be unhappy about Ifrit's appearance, since Ifrit had directly barged into an atmosphere that they didn't want to disturb.

But ifrit was still a child at heart, and no one would take her seriously.

Upon reaching Saria, Ifrit noticed the beautiful white-haired, red-eyed boy sitting beside her. Even Ifrit's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise:

"So beautiful, Saria, do you know her?"

Suri gently nudged Saria, who was about to answer, with her shoulder, and then spoke first, smiling at Ifrit:

"Ifrit, don't you recognize me?"

"Huh?" Ifrit stared wide-eyed at Suri, finding his voice somewhat familiar. After a moment's thought, the girl came to her conclusion: "You're Suri!"

"Yes, it's me. I can finally meet you all in this way now."

Suri smiled and waved to Ifrit: "Alright, hurry up and get something to eat, then come over and we'll talk slowly."

"I understand!" Ifrit glanced at the handsome young man before her, whose aura made her want to be close to him, nodded, and greeted him.

"Suri, don't you dare run away while I'm going to get that thing!"

With that, Ifrit rushed toward the food counter.

"What reason would I have to run away secretly?"

Suri muttered a complaint under her breath, which was then overheard by Saria next to her.

"Because you disappeared without a word before."

"That's not my problem, it's clearly that old Deng from the higher-ups who's behind this."

Su Rui retorted, dissatisfied: "This isn't my fault in the first place."

“So Ifrit doesn’t blame you.” Saria smiled and couldn’t help but reach out and touch Suri’s hair.

“I’m not a little kid like Ifrit, who doesn’t appreciate being patted on the head, and I don’t find it very comfortable either.”

As Suri spoke, just as Saria felt a little embarrassed and tried to pull her hand away, she reached out and grabbed her wrist. Then she rubbed her cheek against Saria's hand, opened her eyes, and slowly expressed her thoughts:

"But this way... it feels pretty good."

As Suri spoke, she glanced at Saria's expression. The beautiful young man with white hair and red eyes had an aura that made people subconsciously want to be intimate with him, and he was even rubbing his hand against hers. Although his gaze wasn't intentional, it was indeed very alluring.

Looking at Su Rui like this, her heart skipped a beat, and her breathing became heavier. If this weren't a public place, she probably would have picked Su Rui up and done something to her.

But now, Saria could only subconsciously tense her body and stare straight at Su Rui.

Suri also noticed Saria's gaze and reaction, since the scanning field had already revealed all of Saria's changes.

Seeing that this was all just manipulation, Su Rui couldn't help but wink at her provocatively:

"What? You want to do something to me here? Do you dare?"

Saria felt her fist harden, and not just her fist, but her unseen phantom limbs hardened as well.

Suri looked incredibly alluring, and the women sitting around her couldn't help but gasp softly, making the restaurant quite lively.

Suri didn't pay much attention to that. After sensing the palm of the hand that had been described for a while and noticing that Ifrit was carrying a plate of food in the scanned field of vision, he put down Saria's hand and continued eating his dinner.

Ifrit was accompanied by Himeru. Himeru noticed something amiss with Saria, but before she could ask anything, Ifrit excitedly introduced them:

"This is Su Rui, the Su Rui who helped us before! He's so handsome!"

"...Hello, Suri, this is the first time we've met like this."

Himer nodded, greeted Suri in front of her, and then glanced somewhat awkwardly at the way Saria and Suri were sitting together intimately:

"Have we disturbed you? I'll leave with Ifrit right now."

As she spoke, Himer tried to pull Ifrit away, but Suri stopped her:

"No, no, Saria and I have been intimate in the room all day. We only came out because we were hungry. We didn't disturb you. Please sit down. Besides, I also want to talk to Ifrit."

“Well… alright.” Himer glanced at Ifrit, but still led Ifrit to sit down in front of Suri and Saria.

With playmates around, Suri and Ifrit became less interested in the food in front of them.

Although Suri still ate a lot, anyone could tell that her attention was now focused on discussing the game with Ifrit.

"The final boss was designed to be ridiculous. It had super long combos, so much damage, and such a wide attack range. You couldn't fight it by rolling normally. I had to use my fingerprint shield to poke it through the level."
