I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

"It seems like you're upset about this."

"Of course. Didn't I tell you that I have a delicate mind? You'd better be careful with your words when you talk to me."

"I see that your lines are thicker than anyone else's sometimes."

"Just say whether you agree or not."

Xue Na sighed, "Oh, okay, I promise, I will try not to irritate your sensitive nerves in the future."

"Okay, let's go." Lin Hezhen walked out of the apartment and closed the door.

"By the way," Yukino suddenly raised her head and stared at Lin Hezhen vigilantly.

"The little girl is six years old, and she is just within your hunting range. You must control your dirty desires and not defile the pure flower."

She still remembered the reason why Lin Hezhen rejected Saito's confession last time. It seemed that she and Mai both believed that those were Lin Hezhen's true feelings.

Lin Hezhen raised his hands and said, "Hey, that was just a random excuse. It's not true. If you don't believe me, you can go under my bed and look through my bedtime readings to confirm my XP system with your own eyes."

"Who wants to watch those disgusting things? It's obscene." Yukino glared at him fiercely.

"That's called art, you know? This is a book drawn by Kashiwagi Eri-sensei. It's very precious."

The two of them chatted as they moved towards Yukino's apartment.

As soon as I opened the door, a timid and clear child's voice was heard.

"Sister Yukino, is that you?"

A six-year-old girl poked her head out from the living room. She had a small oval face, a cute appearance, twin ponytails, and big black and white eyes full of innocence.

Lin Hezhen looked at the little girl for a moment, then smiled what he thought was the friendliest smile and said, "Little friend, I'll give you some candy. Would you like to go play with me?"

"Oh, there's a big bad wolf!" The little girl ran behind the sofa like a flash.

"Don't scare her!" Yukino complained.

Lin Hezhen looked innocent: "How could I scare her? Look how kind my smile is."

Xueno ignored him and quickly walked over to comfort the little girl: "Don't be afraid, big brother is just teasing you."

"Really?" The little girl timidly stuck her head out, like a little animal hiding in its nest.

"Of course, big brother will help you take care of the puppy and take you to see the goldfish."

"Oh, he is a bad guy indeed." The little girl cried out and hid behind Yukino.

Xue No said dissatisfiedly: "Is it fun to bully children?"

"How could I bully her?" Lin Hezhen retorted, "I was testing the child's safety awareness."

"I'll just quibble."

Xue Nai took the little girl's hand and walked into the room, saying, "Let's ignore him. Sister will tell you a picture book story, okay?"

Lin Hezhen was left in the living room, staring at the Corgi.

"hello."

"Wang."

"Have you eaten?"

"Wang Wang."

"Don't be fooled by the woman's beautiful and kind face. She will take the dog to have his balls cut off."

"Wang Wang Wang."

"Oh, you are a female, then it's okay."

Lin Hezhen filled the dog bowl with dog food, replaced the drinking water with new one, and then did nothing.

He looked around Yukinoshita Yukino's apartment.

This is the first time I've come here since I helped her move.

I saw that the layout of Yukinoshita Yukino's house was simple yet elegant, the floor was polished to a shine, the furniture was spotless, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. It looked clean, tidy and meticulous, just like her.

"Could this woman have obsessive-compulsive disorder or mysophobia?" Lin Hezhen muttered in a low voice.

He walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and found a lot of ingredients prepared inside, enough for three people to have a full meal.

He came to the balcony again and found that his balcony was actually connected to Yukino's balcony. The only obstacle was a low iron fence, which he could just climb over.

"Interesting, I can go directly to the balcony next time I visit."

Then he went to the bathroom and saw Yukino's clothes that had not been washed yet in the laundry basket.

"Black silk? Good stuff."

"A small vest? Holy shit, she's wearing that?"

"Blue and white stripes? This..."

He was evaluating when he suddenly felt a chill behind him.

"what are you doing?"

Lin Hezhen quickly turned around and saw Yukinoshita Yukino with a flushed face and eyes that were almost spitting fire.

"Of course it's to go to the toilet." Lin Hezhen said calmly.

Xue No was embarrassed and annoyed, and shouted, "The toilet is next to it, this is where we take a shower and wash clothes!"

"I know, I know. Don't get so angry all the time. Be careful about endocrine disorders." Lin Hezhen quickly walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

……

"My body feels so light. This is the first time I fight with such a cheerful mood. There is nothing to be afraid of because I am no longer alone."

On TV, the blonde magical girl is showing off her skills.

Little sister Takahashi watched the show very attentively, and it was obvious that she was completely absorbed in the animation.

She looked at the beautiful and elegant magical girl with a longing look on her face.

In the kitchen, Yukino was washing vegetables with a relieved smile on her face.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at coaxing children."

While cutting the meat, Lin Hezhen replied, "To be honest, I am also very talented in making children cry."

Today's lunch menu is teriyaki chicken rice, custard egg, stir-fried oyster mushrooms and miso soup.

Lin Hezhen put the chicken thighs directly into the non-stick pan, then turned on the fire to stir-fry the oil in the chicken skin.

When the chicken is about 60% cooked and starts to emit fragrance, Yukino pours the prepared teriyaki sauce into the pot at the right time.

The two of them have a clear division of labor and tacit cooperation in the kitchen. Their usual tit-for-tat has turned into a tacit understanding at this moment.

I don't even need to say anything and the other person will give me what I want. This feeling is really comfortable.

Chapter 121 If the tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm a sick cat?

Lin Hezhen smiled and said, "Maybe we can try to challenge ourselves to play the Breakup Kitchen game."

"What is that?" asked Yukino.

“A multiplayer cooperative game called Overcooked 2, in which players play as chefs and prepare ingredients, cook, serve and clean up in a kitchen full of obstacles and dangers, and need to complete customers' orders in the shortest possible time.”

"It doesn't sound difficult."

"That's not necessarily true. Many lovers and close friends easily get into arguments when playing this game, and can easily break up, so it's also called the Breakup Kitchen or the End of Friendship Kitchen."

Xue No smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, I want to try it even more."

"Okay, we'll download it and play it after dinner."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crying of Takahashi's sister was suddenly heard in the living room.

"Sister Yukino, something bad has happened!"

"what happened?"

The little girl stumbled into the kitchen, tears in her eyes, and shouted, "It fell, it fell!"

Yukino asked in surprise, "What fell?"

The little sister cried, "Tomoe... Asami, Asami's head... fell off! Wuuuuuu, I don't want to be a magical girl anymore."

Yukino quickly wiped her hands and walked into the living room, just in time to see the scene on TV where Mami was being eaten clean.

"What kind of animation are you showing to kids?!" she yelled at Lin Hezhen.

"This is an educational film, and its author is the famous 'Warrior of Love'."

Lin Hezhen walked up to Takahashi's sister, squatted down, touched her little head, and admonished her earnestly: "See, miracles and magic all have a price. Give up unrealistic fantasies and face reality."

"Wow, wow, wow~" The little girl didn't understand what he was saying at all, she just kept crying.

Yukino shook her head and sighed, "She is still only a six-year-old child, it is the right age for her to read fairy tales, but you want to wake her up from her sweet dream."

Lin Hezhen explained: "I think it is a very bad thing to teach children that 'there is no darkness in the world'. You and I both know that this world is neither gentle nor right, and gentle and right people always have difficulty surviving."

"But she is still young, and doing this will hurt her young heart."

"Children will grow up eventually, but only through hurt can people grow up."

"You are so cruel."

"It's not me who is cruel, it's this world."

Xue No sighed: "I still can't agree with your educational philosophy."

"You are the one. Your teaching method is too gentle. The world is not just about happiness. If happiness is all that matters, wouldn't it be impossible to make a movie that touches the hearts of all people? It is also necessary to draw strength from tragedy."

"Your theory is a perverse one. It is essentially a total surrender to the evil reality. If you can't beat them, then join them. The correct approach is, if the colors of the world make people unhappy, then why not just paint it with happy colors?"

"You are too naive. If you think you can move forward just by holding on to ideals, then you are totally wrong. We have to cross a muddy river. We have only two choices: give up or get covered in mud."

Yukino shook her head and said, "I don't know what you've been through to have such a negative outlook on life. You usually seem like a relaxed and optimistic person."

"You are the one. You have experienced so much unhappiness since childhood. Why can you still be so kind to the world? It's really puzzling."

At the end, both of them laughed.

"In short, the education of the child cannot be left to you," Yukino concluded.

"I think so too."

Lin Hezhen paused for a moment, then suddenly touched his chin and said, "Don't you think it's a bit too early for us to discuss the education of our children now?"

Xue Nai's face suddenly turned red, and she said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you talking about showing cartoons to Takahashi sister?"

“I always feel like I’ve experienced what it’s like to be a parent all of a sudden.”

"Stop talking!"

Xueno stamped her feet in embarrassment and annoyance, then fled into the kitchen like a flash.

……

"dinner time."

Lunch was ready quickly, and Yukino and Hayashi Kazuma placed the food, bowls and chopsticks on the table.

In order to make cooking easier, Yukino tied her long hair into a ponytail and wore a cat apron, adding a touch of gentleness and a virtuous wife's flavor.

Lin Hezhen helped little sister Takahashi wash their hands and sat down in their seats.

This scene represents a happy family of three.

"I'm going to start."

"Wow, this teriyaki chicken is really delicious." The little girl said with a smile.

The shadow that the cartoon had cast on her before seemed to have faded away.

"It tastes good, right? The chicken was cooked by me, big brother." Lin Hezhen said proudly.

"Hey, big brother can cook?" The little girl looked at him with eyes wide open.

"Of course. Let me tell you, cooking means putting everything you have on a plate. Only in this way can you make a sparkling dish."

"Oh, that's amazing." The little girl was stunned by his trick.
