A Small Hidden Concern Between Mei and Mei

"The original plan was for me to pretend to be Mei and go on the date in place of Mei. Then, near the end, I would pretend to run into you by chance, put on a show, and reluctantly agree to let you come along. Then, the two of us would work together to get my brother into bed."

"To be honest, I think your plan is a bit unreliable—the first half is hard to predict, but the second half will definitely be exposed, right?"

"The second half is all about figuring out how to get my brother into bed. I've already booked the room, so what if they find out? What's so hard about finding a reason to get my brother to agree half-heartedly?"

Mei was very confident in her disguise—she had just walked around in front of Kevin and Sue and successfully scared them.

"But for now... let her pretend to be me. The similarity between us is a bit too much. As long as she wears something thick, her figure won't be noticeable, and then one person's coincidence becomes two people's coincidence—this guy, does he have no concept of winter dressed like that? Oh, he's wearing combat-grade black bodysuits underneath, so it's fine."

Mei pouted.

"Of course, there's another way—wake her up now, and the two of us will force her to go on a date with us. Two against one, the minority should obey the majority, right?"

As for what alliances were there before?

Sorry, we're really not that close.

Sister-in-law, I'm getting ashore first! I'll take you flying after I'm ashore!

Chapter 581 A Minor Hidden Danger Between Mei

Anyway, Mei's alliance with Seele Bronya was a betrayal...

No, it can't be called betrayal. It was just that it happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to call them.

Their orphanage plan will still be implemented.

But this guy is really cunning, choosing Friday night, a blind spot.

However, once they found out, they had no choice.

Just like the plans Mei mentioned before.

Either you take us along, or we'll leave you on the boat and sail away ourselves.

What? You said you had a prior appointment?

But today is Friday, not the weekend!

If you think Friday night counts as the weekend, that's your business, but I don't think so.

We're trying to stop the cat from stealing fish.

If you don't want to bring the two of us along, and you don't want to be left on the boat, then you should just go on your date on Saturday and Sunday!

Mei smiled.

Mei will agree. Even a dog knows that Mei is probably just looking for sex when she goes on dates. Once other people notice her tomorrow, you'll still want to sleep with her.

Believe it or not, you'll find a Valkyrie on vacation every five steps down the street.

If you fight openly with open tactics, then tomorrow you're bound to be outnumbered—even if no one is a staunch opponent, if everyone just lightly gets in your way, it won't end well.

That's impossible.

Furthermore, this was also an opportunity to eliminate a small potential problem between them, so Mei couldn't possibly refuse.

"Beichen, please take care of Mei for now. Explain the situation to her when she wakes up."

"By the way Mei, do you know where Mei was originally going to meet her husband?" Although Bei Chen always felt it was strange to call someone Mei, he couldn't care less about such a serious matter.

"Of course I know. How many routes are there with the concert as the destination and the hotel as the final stop? She will definitely choose the optimal route. It's easy to guess, and she doesn't even need to turn on her phone."

Mei looked like she had everything under control.

Unless Mei really didn't want to sleep with him, her deduction couldn't be wrong.

"There's no need to take her things; after all, it's not like we're really going to substitute one thing for another."

Mei pushed up her glasses, her expression remarkably similar to Mei's.

Although it makes no difference whether Liu Bai calls out "Mei" or "Mei" in bed, there are some things he doesn't need to compromise himself for.

You think the core of the plan is a substitution?

No, no, no, actually it was a case of making the best of a bad situation.

As long as you don't give yourself away at the beginning, and then naturally admit your mistake and say that it's okay and you'll be back soon, then the rest of the story will definitely be "since you're already here".

Then, when Mei and Hokushin Mei appeared, everything returned to normal.

You could even lie and say there's no emergency and ask her to come temporarily—but Mei genuinely felt that lying to her brother like that was pointless.

"... What if you give yourself away right from the start?" Hokushin Mei asked her question very frankly.

"Of course it's a 2 to 1 ratio, everyone gets a share—and you have to believe in my acting skills."

"Hmm... I do have a lot of faith in your acting skills, but I have even more faith in my husband's judgment..."

"You talk as if I don't believe you." Mei pouted. Given her relationship with Liu Bai, did she really need Hokushin Mei to remind her of this?

Mei felt that even if the three of them turned their backs and showed their butts, Liu Bai could still tell them apart by looking at their butts.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. As long as I can confuse my brother for a moment, that's enough."

"Phew... Always staying in Schicksal feels like it's still July or August..."

On a snowy night, sitting on a park bench, Liu Bai rubbed his hands together and muttered to himself—it wasn't that he was cold, but he just felt that his hands should be doing something.

"It would be great if there were some snow scenes in Schicksal."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, he remained silent for a while.

To be honest, it's quite unsettling to suddenly find yourself alone.

The Mobius affair exposed Liu Bai's true colors, which had both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages... needless to say, were related to her own daughters' affairs. The advantage was that she could now travel freely without having to worry about anything.

It is even possible to return from a spiritual life to a human life.

Life is so good...

"Judging by the time, Mei should be arriving soon." Liu Bai took out his first truly personal cell phone in this world and checked the time.

It's almost five o'clock.

At five o'clock in winter, it is already dark in Vienna. The streets are lit by streetlights, and it is snowing lightly. There is no wind, which gives people a feeling of gentleness, but it also feels like it could keep snowing forever.

This is probably the first time I've ever dated someone in a human body, right?

Well... although I've already had my fair share of sex with my human body, the number of times I've had sex far exceeds the number of times I've gone on dates—well, you can't have sex without a body.

I always felt that this fact was both inexplicable and somewhat reasonable in the context of shit.

What kind of world is this?

(Remember, Mei, you are Mei now. When you see your brother, you must call him teacher, not brother.)

(If you address someone incorrectly, everything is ruined.)

(Keep going! Just get through the prelude to the date!)

Mei gave herself a pep talk, then wrapped her cotton-padded coat tighter around herself and walked toward Liu Bai, who was sitting on the bench making snowballs with his head down.

"Mei? You're here?" Liu Bai sensed the person approaching and smiled at them.

"Yes, I didn't keep you waiting here too long, brother..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mei covered her mouth on the spot.

Damn it, I'm doomed.

"Elder brother...?"

Liu Bai squinted as he examined the "mei" in front of him.

"Mei?"

"...Mmm." Mei nodded obediently, showing none of her previous confidence. "Good evening, brother."

"..." Liu Bai looked at Mei, who had admitted it, and let out a breath. His mind raced at an unusual speed.

He had to admit that he was startled. At first glance, he didn't recognize that Mei was actually Mei —or rather, he realized something was wrong, but didn't suspect anything.

Nighttime, light snow, Mei's outfit, and a date.

The first two elements obstruct Liu Bai's view and assist in dressing up to minimize any flaws in her appearance.

The shyness brought on by the date also led Liu Bai to give some unreasonable "Q@skirt[sulfur] glaze?/>⑵=6-@#&%ling#{}!8()*two%ear/"

Ultimately, intuition depends on whether reason believes in it. If reason believes in it, then intuition is great; if reason doesn't believe in it, then it's just bullshit.

Liu Bai knew he had sensed something was wrong at first glance, but his rationality immediately refuted it.

Then, in his shock, Liu Bai worked backwards from the question, "Why is Mei here?" and immediately figured out Mei's logic.

"You brat, you use your brain for something like this?"

Liu Bai pinched Mei's cheek in exasperation.

"And you even kneel down right off the bat? Do you even have a brain?"

Liu Bai admitted that if Mei hadn't knelt down, he might not have discovered the problem until he was inside the house.

"Well, he's my brother, after all..." Mei, half guilty and half coquettish.

Her brain knew what to do, but upon seeing Liu Bai, her body acted faster than her brain. What could she do?

"And Beichen too, right? You guys are really something." Liu Bai watched as Mei was acting coquettishly, released her hand from pinching her cheek and instead poked her forehead. "Who told you this news?"

"Aunt Nancy." Mei didn't hesitate at all to betray Edison, since everyone was willing to take responsibility for their actions—and her brother's behavior clearly put her in the running.

Even after she wakes up, it can still lock onto the area!

"You!" Liu Bai continued to poke Mei's forehead.

Edison's choice of people was truly impeccable; these three were both the most incompatible and the most compatible.

Even if Mei gets tricked now, Liu Bai can't let her really be thrown down. But if Mei takes precautions—like teaming up with Elysia, Eden, or even contacting Kevin —then clearing Mei and Beichen will be a piece of cake.

But it didn't happen, and I got scammed...

Despite carefully choosing Friday night, she was careless in other areas... Well, it's clear that Mei was really looking forward to this date.

However, Liu Bai guessed that Edison did not expect Mei to be so decisive and directly choose to intercept the deal, just as radical as Mobius before.

"Always causing trouble. Come on, Mei, what do you suggest we do now?"

"Then the only option is for the three of us to go on a date with you, brother, together, right?"

Seeing that her brother didn't seem very angry, Mei took the opportunity to hug Liu Bai's arm.

"We won through our own abilities, everyone gets a share, bro, you can't be biased!"

Liu Bai's lips twitched. Well, these two really did take Mei down with their skills. If it were anyone else, Mei wouldn't have had a chance to play today.

For example, if it were the previous Mobius, upon hearing this news, he would have been furious with Mei. He wouldn't have even bothered to pretend anything had happened; he would have simply come over, put his arm around Liu Bai's arm, and gone on a date in Mei's place.

Mei's approach was actually quite considerate; at least she knew to cover it up and give them some room to maneuver.

Imagine if Mei hadn't pretended to be Mei this time, but instead adopted the demeanor of the Raiden Queen, with an arrogant attitude that said, "I, Raiden Mei, am invincible. Only the strong like me deserve to fawn over my brother; the weak are unworthy of love." Liu Bai would have had a hard time disciplining her...

"Could you guys be a little more composed next time? Don't always snatch things away so rudely."

Liu Bai wasn't stupid. He had recently noticed that Eden's gaze towards Mei and Otto was strange, clearly indicating that he wanted to find an opportunity to teach the two a lesson. And what that opportunity was was even more obvious.

Otto and Mei, either one of them will be randomly nerfed, or both of them will go to the top lane together.

But Eden wouldn't have gone to such lengths to simply and crudely hijack the deal!

"Didn't we already determine the target first?" Mei chuckled awkwardly.

There are ways to avoid intercepting others' opportunities. The simplest way is to pretend to bump into someone and get involved as a troublemaker. But isn't that like drawing a target first and then figuring out how to hit it?

Moreover, with their striking resemblance, it would be even more unplayable for them to act as troublemakers!

Theoretically speaking, Mei's chances of winning a one-on-one Eden are greater than Mei's chances of winning against two Mei...

Moreover, the latter was completely crushed head-on, and the impact was unimaginable. On the contrary, even if Mei really dumped Mei now, Mei could blame it on the scoundrel's lack of sportsmanship and opportunism. My charm hasn't been lost at all! This guy even has to pretend to be me on dates!

Well, Mei actually thinks a bit deeper about this than Liu Bai does—or rather, in Liu Bai's eyes, the three of them are very different.

However, what's most terrifying is that if they start directly confronting each other, Liu Bai Mei to step in in time to suppress them; otherwise, things might get out of hand.
