Yo, Little Mouse, You're Blushing

After a bit of chaos, Xu Ziling took the white lab coat thrown by Mobius and quickly put it on.

"Haha~"

Thinking of Xu Ziling's dejected expression just now, and seeing his current embarrassed face, Mobius couldn't help but laugh and casually said, "Little Mouse, you're blushing."

"...Doctor!"

Xu Ziling's tone was somewhat tearful.

He had just transmigrated and was locked in a stone room, just woke up and went mad from extreme hunger, and just regained his senses to find himself naked and "exposed" to Mobius... and now he was being teased by Mobius. What kind of day was this!

The most, most, most, most crucial thing was... kissing Mobius, a treatment countless ghosts dreamed of but could never achieve before transmigration, and he actually got it... This should have been a regretless experience, but the problem was... Xu Ziling wasn't conscious at the time!

It was like going on a date, taking drugs, and buying condoms... but then passing out from drinking too much! Not enjoying a single moment all night... How was this different from getting a new SSR character only to lose them before you could even use them in battle!!

How could Xu Ziling accept this!! How could he accept it?!!

Xu Ziling's Regrets (Part 2)

"Alright, Little Mouse, no more jokes."

Mobius walked over, patted Xu Ziling's shoulder, and said, "In short, I hope you understand that in our civilized era, when one person kisses another, they have to take responsibility... Even though you've survived from the previous civilization and are living here now, you're no exception...

Of course, Little Mouse, the 'responsibility' I'm referring to here specifically means: 'When someone tries to take you away, you need to refuse them.' Other than that, I won't restrict your movements or have too many demands. We'll still be, but only, in that doctor-patient relationship, understand?"

Hearing this, Xu Ziling felt even more heartbroken.

As expected, a heavenly boon like kissing Mobius... could never happen a second time, ahhhhhh.

Mobius looked at Xu Ziling, who seemed stimulated, and thought he was reminiscing about his lost civilization and feeling sad again. She gave a tactical cough and said:

"Little Mouse, if you don't speak, I'll assume you've agreed... But you don't need to be sad about being with me from now on. Although I'm down on my luck now, I'm still a top biologist in this world. If I give you a chance to follow me now, don't be ungrateful.

If you agree, I can give you the identity of my experimental assistant right now. That way, the research institute will be responsible for your daily life and meals. All you have to do is cooperate with me for a few experiments when I need you... How about it? Tempted?"

Hearing this, Xu Ziling's fingers trembled almost imperceptibly.

Mobius's tone... was classic! It was too classic! Before transmigration, Xu Ziling's scumbag boss used to pat him on the shoulder and say, "Little Xu~" while making empty promises, and his tone was exactly like this!

The passive skill, honed by his unscrupulous boss, made Xu Ziling subconsciously adjust his emotions at lightning speed. He looked at Mobius and, purely out of instinct, began to bargain:

"Doctor, it's not that I refuse your invitation, it's just... you've seen my appetite. For certain reasons, my dietary needs are much greater than that of a normal person. I can't change this...

And I'm not saying this because I don't want to take responsibility for my impulsive actions towards you, Doctor. On the contrary, I desperately hope to have the opportunity to compensate you for your emotional distress and material generosity. I just feel that... if you take me in and provide me with three meals a day, your research institute might be dragged down by me."

After saying this, Xu Ziling himself was stunned.

Hiss~ Dammit... I subconsciously used the negotiation tactics I used with my scumbag boss before transmigration on this snake... After this speech, I feel like I've become the scum of humanity.

Oh well... I'll be more careful later.

"Heh, that's hilarious. How could my research institute be... uh..."

Upon hearing Xu Ziling's words, Mobius was about to deny it and use the loophole in his words to completely tie him to her.

But Mobius paused halfway through her sentence.

She glanced at the nearly wall-high stack of empty instant noodle buckets beside them, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

It seemed... the research institute really couldn't afford to feed one more mouth...

But at this point, giving up was impossible! This guy ate her instant noodles, trashed her research institute... Oh, right, and stole her first kiss... In short! With all these buffs stacked up, if she couldn't tie this guy down today, Mobius would swear on her (Mulligan slang) name and change it to Elius!

"Cough, cough..."

Mobius forced a smile at Xu Ziling and said, "It's okay, Little Mouse. Although the research institute's instant noodle reserves are depleted, we still have high-concentration glucose solution! That stuff is plentiful and filling, eat as much as you want, just remember to cooperate with my experiments."

Xu Ziling hadn't intended to bargain with Mobius in the first place; his previous words were purely subconscious. Now that Mobius offered a way down, he naturally took the opportunity to agree. He nodded at Mobius and said, "Then... I'll trouble you, Doctor. I will do everything in my power to provide help to you and your research institute."

Hearing this, Mobius breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the cost seemed a bit high... it was fortunate that this Little Mouse was starting to identify with her. With a little more time spent cultivating their relationship, he would become experimental data belonging solely to Mobius. Having an emotional foundation would definitely make it more convenient for her to conduct a series of experiments on him in the future.

It was just a pity for little Blanca... For the next month, and for a long time after that, she might have to rely on glucose solution to sustain herself along with Mobius...

"Oh, right, Little Mouse."

Mobius thought of something else and took out her phone, using the camera function as a mirror to show it to Xu Ziling.

"Do you want to take a shower first? You just woke up from underground, and there's a high probability you're carrying ancient viruses. Although I'll basically be fine, if Blanca gets infected... that would be quite troublesome."

Xu Ziling was about to nod in agreement but suddenly froze.

Because in the reflection of the phone Mobius was holding up as a mirror, the person looking back wasn't "himself," but a European beauty with spiky, bright golden hair and emerald green eyes—a stunning woman!!
