Once upon a time, Su Qi had watched a Japanese Romance Movie with his good brother Mo Yu.
A famous scene from it remained vivid in Su Qi’s memory.
The male and female protagonists in love fell into a cold war due to a misunderstanding.
When they picked up their mobile phones to compose text messages, because of their pride and hesitation—even though they both knew they were in the wrong—the two of them kept editing their messages over and over again.
In the end, they didn’t send a single one, leading the two of them to eventually go their separate ways.
As time passed, ten years flew by in the blink of an eye.
By a chance encounter, the male and female protagonists met again as if by fate.
This time, neither had the awkwardness of their youth.
During a calm chat, they resolved their past grievances and eventually reached a happy end, living a shameless and happy life together.
To be honest, back when he saw that youth-lit romance movie, unlike the moved Mo Yu, Su Qi only found it strange.
If there was a problem, they should have just spoken up.
Why didn’t they?
Regarding this question, after just scrolling through trending short videos and seeing himself as The Crispy Wife Proprietress, Su Qi closed the Douyin interface with a complicated mood in the face of the countless “wife” comments floating by.
After subconsciously opening Tencent, Su Qi instinctively opened the pinned chat interface with Elder Sister Wen Yin out of habit.
He wanted to see if his Elder Sister Wen Yin had sent any messages.
However, upon opening the chat box, Su Qi noticed that the top of the chat box was constantly flickering between “is typing…” and her name.
This flickering lasted for nearly half an hour, showing just how conflicted and hesitant Elder Sister Wen Yin was, especially considering her gentle personality after returning to normal.
In a trance, Su Qi recalled the scene from that movie.
Out of heartache for the conflicted and pained Elder Sister Wen Yin, and to ensure he wouldn’t regret it later, Su Qi thought for a long time and gave his response.
“Can we be calm for a while? Because I might be a little scared to see Elder Sister Wen Yin right now. I also hope Elder Sister Wen Yin can change back into that gentle Neighbor Big Sister from before!”
The second after the message was sent, Su Qi’s Mobile suddenly vibrated, and a notification sound followed.
Eagerly picking up the phone, the screen showed a 3-second voice message.
Clicking to play, Su Qi heard a mature, older sister voice as gentle as water coming from the phone, seemingly enough to melt one’s heart.
“Thank you, Xiao Qi, Sister will make sure to change.”
This short sentence finally let the heavy stone in Su Qi’s heart fall.
Since they were young, Elder Sister Wen Yin had never broken her word. This time, she should change for the better!
Just as Su Qi resolved the issue with Elder Sister Wen Yin, click~.
A crisp sound of a lock turning came from outside the door of the Cangyou Wildcat Team.
Su Qi subconsciously looked over and saw Senior Lin Xue, who had come to rescue him yesterday, and his former good brother Mo Yu walking in one after the other.
Perhaps because of the fight yesterday, the clothes on the two girls were slightly damaged, and their delicate skin bore some bruises.
Seeing this, Su Qi hurriedly put his phone aside and rushed forward to meet them.
“A Yu, Senior Lin Xue, are you both alright?”
Seeing Su Qi run over in loungewear like a little bride welcoming her husband home the moment the door opened, Lin Xue felt her heart fill with warmth.
Although she had many complaints because of the pain from yesterday’s fight, they all vanished in an instant.
She even felt like finding Gu Wen Yin for another fight.
Was this the power of a femme fatale? It was truly terrifying.
While Lin Xue was silently marvelling at Su Qi’s charm, she noticed Su Qi’s subconscious act of calling Mo Yu’s name before hers.
In the next second, Lin Xue’s fair face darkened.
Dammit, it turns out Xiao Qi actually values this Magical Girl more than me!
To think that after losing the Neighbor Big Sister as a love rival, another competitor appeared out of nowhere.
The road ahead is truly worrisome!
Su Qi was unaware of Senior Lin Xue’s inner thoughts. The reason he called Mo Yu first wasn’t that complicated.
Mo Yu, who entered with Elder Sister Wen Yin, was smaller than Senior Lin Xue, making her more pitiable.
Plus, unlike Lin Xue who was at home, as a guest of the Cangyou Wildcat Team, the somewhat introverted Mo Yu kept her head down, looking constrained and uneasy, like a weak little timid thing.
Comparing the two, Su Qi naturally worried about the latter first.
“A Qi, I… I’m fine. Are you okay?”
Hearing Su Qi’s concern and feeling his gaze—perhaps because she was wearing girl’s clothes today and didn’t know how to interact with Su Qi—a flush slowly appeared on Mo Yu’s fair face.
She lowered her head, her crystalline lips trembling with a cute panic as she spoke.
Su Qi wasn’t nervous at first, but seeing the girl form of his former good brother Mo Yu and hearing her uneasy tone, he was reminded of his own situation.
He belatedly realized he was talking to a feminized Mo Yu as a girl himself, and a wave of flusteredness gradually washed over him.
“Yeah, I’m fine too. Um… A Yu, your skirt looks very pretty today.”
“Thank… thank you. A Qi, you look very pretty in girl’s clothes today too!”
As the two cute girls of similar height lowered their heads in synchronized bashfulness, not knowing what to say next, An Xiaoling, who had just taken a hot shower and calmed down, looked at the entryway.
Emmmmmmmm, what is going on?
Why does it feel like there’s a pink, romantic atmosphere of a shy teenage love between Su Qi and my Classmate Mo Yu!
This vibe isn’t right!
And Senior Lin Xue, what are you thinking? If you don’t break up this atmosphere, do you want to attend their wedding feast?
Such a small fry! A big small fry!!!
To stop this romantic atmosphere from continuing, An Xiaoling’s quirky light green eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with a suggestion.
“Senior Lin Xue, Mo Yu, it’s great that you’re back. Come sit on the Sofa in the Living Room first. We can talk about bringing Xixi back! After all, such a tiny Little Guy of a rabbit with no self-defense capabilities is in a very dangerous situation living alone in the Saint Ruins!”
Hearing An Xiaoling mention the Saint Ash Rabbit, Su Qi quickly snapped out of it, his eyes filled with anticipation.
After accepting the Clan Leader’s Spatula, Su Qi felt a connection with the Little Guy.
Thinking that the Little Guy might be bullied made him worried.
Perhaps this was the responsibility of a Sage Ash Rabbit Clan Leader.
However, though Su Qi was worried about Xixi, the thought of going to the Saint Ruins again made him frown.
Due to a lack of yang energy, the three male teammates of the Cangyou Wildcat Team were still in the hospital on IV drips.
In that New Passage, although the boss had been destroyed by Gu Wen Yin, if too few people went… even though Gu Wen Yin was strong and An Xiaoling was capable, three people were too few.
Many Japanese dungeon anime characters ended up… because they underestimated the enemy.
While Su Qi was internally debating whether to wait a few more days before going to the Sacred Slope, as Su Qi’s good brother, Mo Yu understood him well even though she hadn’t seen Xixi.
Seeing Su Qi frown, Mo Yu guessed he was afraid of danger.
Considering the current Hero Party, with the Hero captain unconscious and no other tasks, and the fact that exploring the New Passage to the Second Floor of Holy Ruins wasn’t too dangerous… it would help Su Qi relax and bring them closer.
Amidst the discussion of the three members of the Wildcat Team, Mo Yu weakly raised a fair hand and looked at Su Qi.
“Um… A Qi, I don’t have anything to do lately. If needed, I can accompany you too!”
Hearing Mo Yu join, Su Qi’s heart finally settled.
Having been a Magical Girl himself, Su Qi knew exactly how powerful Magical Girl Mo Yu was.
After finalizing the plan to start the operation tonight, Su Qi put on an apron and headed to the Kitchen to prepare a feast to treat Lin Xue and Mo Yu and prepare for the expedition.
As dishes were placed on plates, perhaps due to the rising steam, Su Qi’s right eyelid inadvertently twitched twice.
Feeling this detail and recalling his Father often muttering that a left eye twitch means wealth while a right eye twitch means feudal superstition, Su Qi couldn’t help but have an ominous premonition.
Emmmmmmm, every time I went to the Saint Ruins before, my Su Wife Ability would level up.
Will it level up this time too?
He subconsciously opened his Attributes Panel and looked at his Experience Points list: Su Wife Ability LV2 (61531/100000).
Looking at the bar with nearly 40,000 experience left, Su Qi quickly shook his head.
No, no, there’s still 40,000 experience left.
I must be scaring myself!
