Feeling Su Moqian's touch, Bronya's heart grew warmer.
She knew how difficult it was to rescue Seele, which was why she had been helpless for so many years.
But Su Moqian had actually succeeded in rescuing Seele. How much effort had he put in behind the scenes during this time?
"And Moqian said he did all of this for Bronya..."
Bronya placed her hands over her heart, clearly feeling her heartbeat quicken.
Then, Bronya opened her arms and suddenly hugged Su Moqian, crying:
"Thank you, Moqian, Bronya is truly grateful to you..."
Feeling Bronya's embrace, Su Moqian was also incredibly happy.
He knew that no matter how Bronya had acted before, it was all an act and meaningless.
But now was different. Su Moqian could feel that Bronya was genuinely happy.
At this moment, he opened the System and saw that Bronya's affection for him had surpassed 70.
Seeing this, Su Moqian finally felt at ease.
As the saying goes, to fight external enemies, one must first secure the home front. With the "duck" at home completely loyal to him, it would be safer to infiltrate ME Corp.
However, Su Moqian, lost in his own thoughts, didn't notice at all.
Kiana, watching from behind, narrowed her eyes as she saw him embracing Bronya, a dangerous glint flickering within them.
Kiana: "Stare--"
After chatting with Bronya for a while longer, Su Moqian, with Seele's help, successfully convinced Bronya to surrender.
After all, Seele was Bronya's spiritual pillar for enduring everything. Now that she could see Seele, why would she still help Cocolia do such wicked things?
At the same time, Bronya also learned that Seele could only come out for one hour every 12 hours.
Bronya accepted this gladly.
Being able to see Seele was good enough. Even if they only had two hours together each day, Bronya was already content.
Of course, to avoid Bronya's worry, Su Moqian comforted her:
"Bronya, don't worry. Although Seele's return to the real world is still time-limited, I will definitely rescue Seele permanently in the future!"
"Mhm, Bronya believes you!" Bronya, clinging tightly to Seele, nodded very seriously.
Seeing that Bronya believed him, Su Moqian smiled and then asked the System:
"System, can the skill 'Wrath of the Minotaur' be upgraded again?"
The System replied: [As the core skill of the Blondie Simulator, it can naturally be upgraded, but the upgrade conditions are quite harsh.]
Su Moqian frowned: "Tell me."
[As long as the host achieves excellent results when completing Blondie missions, there is a chance to upgrade the core skill!]
Hearing this, Su Moqian's expression darkened further:
"Your missions are all of that type, and you want excellent results? What even counts as excellent results?"
Actually, Su Moqian already had a guess in his heart about this question, but he dared not say it out loud.
Time quickly passed, and it was evening.
Seele had already been forced back into the Quantum Sea, but Bronya did not show any sadness. Instead, she looked forward to her next meeting with Seele even more.
Bronya had promised Seele that as soon as 12 hours passed, she would have Su Moqian summon her again.
It was already evening. According to Raiden Mei, she should arrive soon.
Su Moqian was currently in the living room, waiting for Mei to arrive while also accompanying Bronya and Kiana.
"Son, I'm home!"
As the three of them were bored, a voice suddenly rang out.
Hearing his mother's voice, Su Moqian immediately got up to greet her:
"Isn't Shenzhou Headquarters very busy lately? It's rare for Mom to come home at night."
"I'm just home for dinner, I have to go back tonight." Su Wuxian waved her hand, then pointed behind her and said:
"Oh right, guess who's here?"
Hearing this, Su Moqian finally noticed another figure following Su Wuxian into the room. It was Raiden Mei.
At this moment, Su Wuxian pointed at Mei and said:
"Son, Mei just told me it's inconvenient for her to be alone at home, so I suggested that Mei move in with us. Do you have any objections?"
Hearing this, Su Moqian smiled and nodded: "Of course not. Anyway, our spare rooms are empty."
"Moqian, I'll need your care in the future." Mei raised her hand and greeted Su Moqian, a slight curve forming at the corner of her lips.
She looked at Bronya, who was sitting on the sofa, and thought to herself:
"Doesn't this troublesome duck just want to get the best position by being close to the water? Now that I've moved in too, let's see what you can do!"
Bronya, who had been looking her way, naturally noticed the smile on Mei's face, and her heart sank slightly.
"I really didn't expect Mei to resort to such underhanded tactics as trying to please Auntie?"
"Hmph, even so, Bronya will absolutely not admit defeat. Whether it's for myself or for Seele, Bronya must have Su Moqian!"
At the same time, Kiana, who was beside them, looked at the hostile glares exchanged between Bronya and Raiden Mei, her mind filled with thoughts.
"Could it be that those two also have feelings for Moqian?"
"But if that's the case, what should I do?"
Chapter 64: Kiana is a good best friend, no need to be suspicious
During dinner, the five people in the house sat around the dining table.
Su Moqian sat in the middle as usual, with Kiana to his left and Mei to his right. Bronya sat directly opposite him.
Su Wuxian, who should have also been at the table, suddenly received a phone call and left in a hurry.
Su Moqian heard from the other end of the phone that a new Honkai Energy device had been discovered in Changkong City and needed to be dealt with.
He guessed that his mother had been so busy lately dealing with these things.
Therefore, for tonight's dinner, it was just him eating with Kiana and the other two.
"Come, Moqian, try my cooking. I've been practicing diligently at home recently," Raiden Mei said with a smile as she served Su Moqian.
Although she wasn't good at cooking before, after practicing diligently for this period, Mei felt that she had an extraordinary talent for cooking.
Of course, it wasn't just cooking; Mei was now full of confidence in matters of love too!
After a series of setbacks in the past few days and discovering Bronya as a formidable rival, Raiden Mei realized that she could no longer afford to be arrogant.
Otherwise, she would eventually become a jilted lover, crying on the ground that she "couldn't do anything."
Therefore, she even specifically sought advice from the Herrscher of Thunder within her, from whom she obtained the "Miss Herrscher's Love Manual."
After reading it, Raiden Mei was astonished and couldn't help but ask:
"Miss Herrscher, why are you so skilled? Did you have many romantic experiences before?"
To Raiden Mei's question, the Herrscher of Thunder smiled slightly:
"I don't remember my past memories, but when I saw Su Moqian interacting with Kiana, I suddenly remembered that a white-haired girl once pursued me like this."
"I see," Raiden Mei nodded.
So, this love manual was compiled based on the actions of that white-haired girl when she pursued Miss Herrscher?
But no matter whose it was, as long as it was useful.
Raiden Mei believed that with the help of the "Miss Herrscher's Love Manual," she would definitely be able to defeat this stinky duck easily and reclaim her rightful position!
"Come, Moqian, eat more."
Raiden Mei, based on her understanding of Su Moqian, served him dishes like a virtuous wife and loving mother.
At this moment, she even wanted to feed Su Moqian directly, but Mei ultimately restrained her desire.
The love manual stated that in front of a love rival, one must never alert them easily. First, stabilize the opponent, and then develop in secret.
"Here, Bronya, eat more too. Don't be shy, make yourself at home."
As she spoke, Raiden Mei, with a smile on her face, even proactively served Bronya.
Although it seemed like a proactive gesture of goodwill, it subtly conveyed the attitude that she was the mistress of the house.
How could Bronya, whose skills were not inferior, not see through these subtle maneuvers?
However, after some thought, Bronya did not act rashly. She smiled and said to Mei:
"Sister Mei should be the one who doesn't need to be shy. After all, as Brother Moqian's good little sister, Bronya has been living in this house for a long time."
"And Sister Mei has only been here for less than a day. If there's anything you're not used to, Bronya will definitely help you."
Bronya's smile was flawless, and she also pointed out the fact that she arrived first and Mei arrived later, elevating her own status.
Upon hearing this, Mei realized how difficult Bronya was to deal with and immediately said softly:
"Little sister Bronya is joking. To be honest, Moqian and I have known each other for a long time."
"I've stayed in this house so many times, I'm definitely more familiar with it~"
Bronya raised an eyebrow and said weakly, "Since Sister Mei has stayed so many times, she must be very used to it. In that case, Sister Mei should be fine sleeping alone, right?"
"But Bronya is not used to it yet, so Bronya will give her room to Sister Mei and go to Brother Moqian's room instead."
Bronya's tactic of retreating to advance directly startled Raiden Mei.
She never expected that Bronya's previous words were all a trap, waiting for her here!
Thinking of this, Raiden Mei felt a little helpless: "Why is this duck so troublesome?"
Just as Raiden Mei prepared to counterattack again, Su Moqian slapped the table and said:
"What's there to argue about? I have several guest rooms at my place. You three can each have one."
"The three of us?" Raiden Mei and Bronya asked in unison, looking confused.
They could completely accept such a draw.
It was just... Kiana was going to stay here too?
At that moment, Kiana, who was focused on eating, suddenly noticed both girls staring at her.
So, while stuffing food into her mouth, she spoke with her cheeks puffed out:
"I don't have a problem with it. It's just staying in a guest room for one night, anyway."
Looking at Kiana's silly, food-focused appearance, Bronya and Raiden Mei both felt relieved.
"Whatever, Kiana's an idiot, no need to worry about her."
"Whatever, Kiana's a good friend, no need to be suspicious."
At this moment, Bronya and Raiden Mei, for the first time in a long time, reached a consensus.
After dinner, the four of them watched some movies together in the living room.
Once they had mostly passed the time, it was time for bed.
When Su Moqian returned to his room, the clock had already struck 11.
"Sigh, why does it feel like my bedtime has been so late lately? Is my healthy sleep schedule gone forever?"
After sighing, Su Moqian quickly climbed into bed and pulled the covers up to sleep.
"One bug, two bugs, three bugs..."
