Zhu Yufeng: Why Does Everyone Keep Getting This Wrong?

"We're here." Mostima opened the apartment door.

As Zhu Yufeng entered, he noticed the trash near the door. Hmm, he didn't see any fast food containers or anything like that...

How come he remembered Mostima not being able to cook? Although she left home early to support herself, her cooking skills were really nothing to write home about. She said that the first thing she did after earning her first paycheck was order takeout...

It can only be said that Mei is even more outrageous than her. At least Mostima's cooking is not at the level of a biological weapon; at most, it tastes a little strange. But Mei's cooking results in life or death after eating it.

Is that Lilith cooking? But Lilith seems to be about the same age as Rin. She's so young, and she's the young lady of the House Attagina. Has she already learned to cook?

What Zhu Yufeng noticed, Lilith immediately noticed as well. She looked around the apartment with great interest and began to decorate it. After a while, Mostima brought Gianna out of the bedroom.

"Sister!" Gianna was overjoyed to see her older sister. She instinctively wanted to run to her sister as she used to, but then she suddenly stopped.

It's true that Gianna misses her older brother and sister terribly, and it's also true that she still believes her sister loves her. But that doesn't mean she's forgotten what happened that day: her brother Adams, his chest stained red as if by dye, pointing something at her sister...

Why doesn't my sister come to find me?

Gianna thought about this for a long time. For a child who was still inexperienced in the ways of the world, the only conclusion she could come to was that she had done something wrong and made her sister a little angry, so her sister stopped coming to see her.

My sister loves me, so she will definitely punish me severely for this mistake.

Seeing Gianna's hesitant expression, Lilith smiled, knelt down, and stretched out her hands to Gianna: "Gianna, why don't you come and give your sister a hug?"

At that moment, in Mostima's eyes, Lilith was like a grim reaper beckoning to Gianna. She instinctively wanted to stop Gianna from going forward, but Gianna had already run over and hugged Lilith: "Sister! I missed you so much!"

"Yes, I miss you too, Gianna. How have you been these past few days? Have you been eating well?" Lilith's voice was gentle, as if she had turned back into the delicate and frail young lady she used to be.

Mostima shivered involuntarily, thinking to himself that it would be a shame if Lilith didn't win an Oscar for her outrageous acting skills.

Zhu Yufeng then began to scrutinize Gianna. So, this was Lilith's name? He had met Gianna in his previous life, but at that time, Gianna had been Honkai Corrosion the Honkai Energy and was in a coma. Furthermore, Lilith was already planning to kill everyone to silence them, so...

He initially thought Lilith's family situation was that her younger brother had a strong desire for power and disregarded family ties, and her younger sister was born to a stepmother and liked to nitpick at Lilith... Later, as his relationship with Lilith deepened, he realized that he was mostly wrong. Lilith was simply born with an Evil nature, and her family environment had little to do with it.

At the Present glance, it seems that Gianna really likes and respects her older sister. Lilith had previously mentioned that her younger brother was a very proud and arrogant person.

It can only be said that they were unfortunate to have such an older sister, and coincidentally, they were born into this era that was about to head towards the apocalypse...

Just as Zhu Yufeng was pondering, Gianna answered Lilith's question, "Mostima's cooking is terrible, so the Present I cook all our meals every day!"

Zhu Yufeng looked at Mostima, Mostima covered her face.

She still the Present remembers the first time she arrived at the apartment, when she made Gianna her first dinner and Gianna's expression that said, "Even though it's awful, Mostima did her best, so you have to finish it." And then there was the fact that she had to have a six-year-old cook for her afterwards—it was really a bit...

This child still needs to go to school...

"After all, she's Lilith's little sister..." Zhu Yufeng recalled that he wasn't a good cook before, but Lilith had forced him to learn to cook by saying, "Being able to cook is a plus for men and women." He originally wanted to make a last-ditch effort, but Lilith then said, "Look, Kevin can cook, right?" which aroused his competitive spirit, so he reluctantly learned a lot of cooking skills from Lilith.

"Really? Gianna is amazing~" Lilith patted Gianna's head, then looked at Mostima with a half-smile.

To be fair, Mostima often claims to be the weakest Fallen Angel, which isn't entirely unreasonable, because aside from being a gaming pro and a world-class hacker, she's practically a useless person in terms of daily life. However, in terms of combat strength, Mostima is only mid-tier among Fallen Angel, if you include her human- Artificial Collapse.

"Sister, when can we go home? I miss my brother so much..." Gianna said, hugging Lilith.

"Gianna, there the Present's been some trouble at home. Some bad guys are trying to hurt us. Davien is dealing with those things and those bad guys the Present. Once he's done everything, you can go home," Lilith said with a smile.

"Yes! Gianna understands!" Gianna nodded seriously. "Brother will definitely drive away all the bad guys."

But that bad guy is your older sister, and if they were to fight, Davien might not be able to beat Lilith. Zhu Yufeng thought to herself.

"I didn't expect Lilith to be so good at coaxing children." Mostima quietly stood next to Zhu Yufeng and said. She had an inexplicable initial liking for Zhu Yufeng, and felt that she had something she wanted to say to him, but she didn't know what it was...

Moreover, even though they used almost the same reason, when she lied to Gianna had an expression that seemed to want to say something but then decided not to, but when Lilith lied to her, Gianna believed her without any hesitation.

"Is there really a difference between real family and fake family..." Mostima thought to himself.

Gianna released Lilith and then noticed Zhu Yufeng standing with Mostima. She asked Lilith with some confusion, "Sister, who is this brother who came with you?"

"His name is Feng, and he's my favorite person~" Lilith stood up and affectionately picked up Zhu Yufeng's arm, saying.

"Lilith, you..."

Just as Zhu Yufeng was about to say something, Lilith leaned close to his ear and whispered, "What does it matter? You'll have to get used to it sooner or later anyway."

Gianna was a little confused. This was a bit too advanced for a child her age. She couldn't quite understand it, but she remembered asking her brother Adams what "like" meant. Adams said that liking someone meant that seeing that person would make her happy, and any bad mood would be swept away.

So... is this "Maple's" older brother the kind of person who makes his older sister happy just by seeing him?

Gianna's little head began to turn.

Adams once said that his favorite person is his sister, and his sister's favorite person is Maple. So, who is Maple's favorite person...?

"Does Brother Feng like Brother Adams?" Gianna asked, somewhat puzzled.

Zhu Yufeng: "???"

What's going on? He's barely even met Adams a few times! Kid, how did you come to this conclusion? This is even more absurd than May thinking he'd steal her Kevin! It's normal for him to be attracted to women; he likes girls. Why does everyone think he's interested in men?

Even Lilith couldn't follow this line of thought. After a moment of stunned silence, Lilith asked, "Gianna, why do you think that?"

It looks quite interesting. I wonder if I can use this to tease Feng later.

Gianna then explained what she was thinking, and Zhu Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it was just a child's unrelated association...

"Gianna, boys only like girls," Zhu Yufeng tried to correct Gianna's misconception.

"But dragons and Gundams are exceptions?" Lilith asked, squinting at Zhu Yufeng.

Zhu Yufeng chose to shift his gaze elsewhere; his Ugar was just so handsome, wasn't he? He could even transform!

"So, does Brother Feng like Sister?" Gianna tilted her head and said, "Brother Adams said that if two people like each other, they will be lovers and will be like my parents in the future."

"Oh?" Lilith smiled, her eyes crinkling. Zhu Yufeng wanted to explain, but Lilith didn't give him a chance to speak. She directly took Gianna's hand and led her into the room. "Gianna, look, your braids haven't been tied up in all this time. Let me tie them up for you again~"

"Okay!" Gianna skipped and hopped after Lilith into the room.

Mostima instinctively wanted to follow, but seeing that Zhu Yufeng beside her wasn't moving, she asked in confusion, "Is this really not okay?"

Zhu Yufeng watched the two walk into the room with a somewhat speechless expression, and then said, "Gianna... it seems that she has been put on Lilith's whitelist. At least... Lilith won't do anything to her for the time being."

Lilith took Gianna away to shut him up, so that Gianna would appear to be in a relationship with Lilith that they liked each other.

"Isn't her affection for you a little too pathological?" Mostima still stared at the bedroom with some unease. As if to dispel her doubts, Lilith didn't close the door, and the two people outside could clearly see that Lilith was indeed braiding Gianna's hair.

"You can remove some of the stuff." Zhu Yufeng withdrew his gaze and began to survey the apartment. To be honest, it was much tidier than Mostima's dormitory in his memory. Mostima, being a complete slacker, had no concept of tidying up her room; this kind of room was Pardo's favorite...

After all, this way, Mostima wouldn't notice if they took something from Mostima.

I don't know why, after I only visited Mostima's dorm room once, Mostima absolutely refused to let me visit her dorm room anymore. Even if she wanted to play games with me, she would come to her dorm room.

"It must have been tough for you taking care of Gianna these past few days, right?" Zhu Yufeng asked. "Although we've only known each other for a short time, I can tell that Gianna is an obedient child. But she is, after all, the second young lady of the House Attagina. Compared to her previous living environment, the difference is so great. She must be having a hard time adjusting, right?"

Mostima paused for a moment before replying, "At first there were some issues, but after I made up a reason, she accepted it. She's really obedient, she's a good girl... Rather than saying I took care of her, it's more accurate to say that I received a lot of care from her."

"You don't need to think like that. After all, Gianna only has you to rely on the Present. Without your support, she wouldn't be where she the Present," Zhu Yufeng said, looking at the seemingly happy Lilith sisters. "Even the Present Lilith doesn't do anything to Gianna anymore, Gianna and Lilith will only ever be playthings to pass the time. As soon as Lilith gets tired of her, she can abandon her at any time."

"You really know Lilith," Mostima said, squinting.

"Yes, I know her very well..." Zhu Yufeng recalled the events of the Present period. He met Lilith between the Sixth and seventh laws, which was nearly two years ago. During those two years, Gianna failed to win Lilith's heart. Lilith even told him that if there had been no Honkai, her first target would have been her own sister.

"Same father, same mother, why are they so different?" Mostima said.

"Because I felt lost and disoriented, my heart told me I didn't belong there, that I wasn't one of them, yet I am human just like them. I'm so lucky to have met you. Although we are both human, your surroundings are the place I'm willing to stay."

Zhu Yufeng remembered what Lilith had said when she confessed her feelings to him.

"Perhaps it's due to the diversity of human species," Zhu Yufeng said.

Mobius Laboratory.

"Let's leave this matter here for today." Mobius organized the memories of those who participated in the War of Finality regarding the situation at that time. "As for Qianjie, let's leave him be. He can't explain anything clearly anyway. We'll ask Aponia and Eden later."

Elysia looked at the scene of the War of Finality recorded by the small machine made by Vill-V in Mobius's hand, her expression complicated. She had not participated in the Finality Battle and could only learn about it from others. However, when she talked to them, they were never as detailed as this. She only knew that the battle was very fierce, but she did not know more details because the participants were not willing to recall that battle. As for Zhu Yufeng, he always avoided the important points. When asked what kind of injury he suffered, he would answer that it was a minor injury.

Your heart has been shattered several times, but it's still considered a minor injury, right?

As Kevin mentioned, Feng only disappeared after he made the promise that "humanity will definitely defeat the Honkai"...

"After this, you won't have any more opportunities. Be careful not to mention this matter to Yu Feng. The Present ... it's better not to tell him yet," Mobius said. "Elysia and Vill-V, you two stay here for now."
