Pre-Collapse Civilization, My Wife is a Snake Oh

Seele glanced at the items Ling Xi was carrying again, completely speechless. She had seen the price when they were checking out – over a thousand yuan. Did this guy really plan to exchange that necklace for an equivalent value of snacks?

Seele: Why am I always so talkative?

Looking at the several large bags overflowing with food, anyone would think it wasn't a shopping trip but rather supplies being gathered before a typhoon, not a normal shopping trip.

"Alright, Seele, let's go back."

Seeing that Seele still seemed to want to say something, Ling Xi quickly interrupted her with a smile, "It's tiring carrying all this stuff."

"Hmph, serves you right. Who told you to buy so much? Carry it yourself..."

Seele pouted and turned to leave. But after taking two steps and not hearing Ling Xi, she suddenly turned back, took a bag from Ling Xi's hand, and started carrying it herself. She then turned back towards the academy, squinting one eye and humming, "This is my stuff, it would be a shame if you spilled it. I'm just being merciful and helping you out."

Ling Xi: "..."

Ah, my wife is so cute...

Mobius: "Achoo..."

After arriving at the dormitory building where Seele lived, Ling Xi intended to stop. After all, this was the girls' dormitory...

But Seele told him to just follow behind her. Then she went to talk to the dorm supervisor about something, and finally...

The dorm supervisor smiled at Ling Xi and said, "Young man, why don't you hurry up and help your girlfriend carry it up? But remember to come down within ten minutes!"

Ling Xi: "???"

Girlfriend, ten minutes...

"Let's go, idiot!"

Since she was carrying items, Seele kicked Ling Xi impatiently, signaling him to hurry up. After all... with so much stuff, she didn't want to carry it all up by herself.

Ling Xi: "..."

"Coming, coming!"

Ling Xi obviously had no objections to being able to go inside. He quickly followed Seele up, carrying the items.

"Come in."

Soon, the two arrived at Seele's dorm on the fifth floor. Seele swiped her card to open the door and placed the bag of snacks she was carrying on the table.

"Haaaah..."

Then, Seele flopped onto her bed. She was so tired...

"Seele, where are your roommates?"

Ling Xi also walked in and noticed it was a four-person dorm, but only Seele was there at the moment.

"They usually come back a bit later."

Seele sat up from the bed and smiled, "What, are you interested in them? Hmm... they're also very cute. If you want, I can help you get their contact information."

"Heh heh... I'll pass. No matter how cute they are, they're definitely not as cute as you, Seele."

Ling Xi certainly wouldn't fall for such an obvious trap. If he dared to say he wanted them, Seele would definitely grab a broom and kick him out immediately.

"Hmph hmph..."

Seele hummed proudly, then patted the side of her bed and said, "There are no extra chairs in the dorm for you to sit on, so if you want to sit, you can only sit here."

"Uh..."

Ling Xi didn't answer immediately. He just glanced thoughtfully at the four chairs placed in front of the dorm table...

Ling Xi: "..."

Chapter 76: Teasing Seele is Also Part of the Plan!

"Ling Xi, feel it. Isn't it very soft?"

"Mhm, Seele, it's so soft!"

"Does it feel comfortable..."

"It's very comfortable, Seele. It's the most comfortable I've ever felt!"

"Hehe, of course. This is..."

In the dorm, the two sat shoulder to shoulder on the edge of the bed. Seele patted her bed and smiled, "I bought this mattress specially. It cost me quite a bit."

"It's a shame it's a bit narrow. If two people sleep on it, it'll be quite cramped."

Ling Xi also touched Seele's bed. It was indeed very soft, but not very thick. It must be comfortable to sleep on.

"Nonsense. Do you expect two people to sleep together in a dorm?"

Seele gave Ling Xi a sideways glance, then picked up the snacks they had just bought, preparing to put them away.

"By the way, Seele, there's something I wanted to tell you."

Sitting beside Seele, Ling Xi decided it was time to discuss important matters with her. After all, the dorm supervisor had only given him ten minutes, so he had to make good use of the time.

"Hm? What is it?"

Seele also stopped what she was doing and looked at Ling Xi curiously.

"It's not a big deal."

Ling Xi shook his head and smiled slightly, "Starting tomorrow, you don't have to come find me for lunch. I have..."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Before Ling Xi could finish speaking, Seele's expression turned a little displeased. Starting tomorrow, she shouldn't come find him anymore?

Was this... some kind of veiled hint?

"Uh... Seele, let me finish first."

Ling Xi was stunned for a moment, then reorganized his words and said, "It's like this, I'm going on a trip tomorrow, and it'll probably take at least four or five days. So during this time, I won't be able to accompany you all the time. So, you need to eat well on your own."

Actually, the main reason Ling Xi asked Seele to go shopping today was to buy her some food. Otherwise, once he left, this girl would go back to eating bread.

It wasn't that her family didn't give her enough money to afford the cafeteria, but simply because she wanted to save money, seemingly to buy something.

That's why Ling Xi had been finding excuses to ask Seele out every noon recently, and then, under the pretense of not liking bread, he would take her to the cafeteria or a restaurant.

After all, if Seele became malnourished, his future child would suffer... Cough, cough, in short, Ling Xi didn't object to Seele saving money, but eating bread every day was out of the question.

But starting tomorrow, he had to accompany Mobius to the Mu Continent for a seminar, so he couldn't accompany Seele for the time being. Once that happened, Seele would most likely return to the embrace of bread...

Therefore, before leaving, Ling Xi had to sort out Seele's affairs.

But if he directly gave Seele money...

Given her personality, she clearly wouldn't accept it. Seele would accept his gifts and wouldn't refuse him treating her to lunch. Sometimes, she would even pretend to be angry so he would buy her delicious food, but if it were money, she definitely wouldn't accept it.

So, Ling Xi could only activate Plan B, take Seele shopping, and buy more food so she wouldn't have any extra room in her stomach to eat bread for the next few days.

This way, Seele's nutrition could be maintained, and the future baby's food supply could be ensured. What if it caused indigestion later?

"So that's how it is..."

After hearing Ling Xi's explanation, Seele's expression returned to normal. She chuckled speechlessly, "Then you should have said so earlier. I thought you were... Cough, cough, okay, I get it. Go with peace of mind, don't worry about me. I'll take good care of myself."

Ling Xi: "???" Uh, why does that sound a bit strange to me...

Never mind, Ling Xi was too lazy to dwell on the issue. He smiled at Seele and said, "Alright, as long as you know. Anyway... I should be back in a few days. It won't be long."

"What does it have to do with me whether you come back or not?"

Seele still had that proud demeanor. Damn it, she almost forgot her character just now. Fortunately, she reacted in time.

Ling Xi: "..."

"Heh."

But Ling Xi was already used to Seele's character. He immediately smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with Seele, but it has something to do with me. Without Seele accompanying me, even eating doesn't feel as good."

"I eat very well..."

Seele pouted and then looked at the snacks on her desk, saying softly, "And... you don't need to do this anymore."

"Huh?"

Ling Xi was stunned for a moment, seeming not to understand Seele's meaning.

"I said, these things..."

Seele kicked the bag at her feet and sighed, "You don't need to buy so much for me. If you had told me, I would have eaten properly anyway."

"Uh..."

Hearing this, Ling Xi felt a little awkward. After all, with Seele saying this, how could he not understand her meaning? He didn't expect...

He was still seen through by this girl.

"Do you really think I'm an idiot?"

Seele looked at Ling Xi speechlessly. What was that expression? Was she so stupid that she couldn't even see through something like this?

"No, no, how could that be?"

Ling Xi quickly smiled, saying ingratiatingly, "Seele is the smartest and cutest girl in the world. How could she be an idiot?"

"Hmph, who knows what you're thinking?"

Seele still just let out a soft hum. Although Ling Xi's concern made her feel warm, this behavior of treating her like an idiot was indeed a little annoying.

"Of course, I think what I say," Ling Xi also smiled slightly, "After all, in front of a girl as cute and smart as Seele, how could I dare to lie to you?"

"Hmph, hmph..."

Seele maintained her proud demeanor, but she was no longer angry. She smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll forgive you this time. But if you dare to lie to me again next time, then... I'll never talk to you again. Even if you try to bribe me with Eden concert tickets, it won't work. I absolutely won't forgive you."

"Heh heh, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare..."

Ling Xi quickly smiled and expressed his fear, while also feeling very happy. Maintaining a close relationship with Seele was a key point in his future plans, especially...

The plan to evacuate Changkong City.

That's right, evacuate Changkong City. After returning from the Mu Continent, he would definitely evacuate Changkong City with Mobius. But Seele... If Seele didn't trust him enough, why would she listen to him then, and why would she obediently leave Changkong City with him?

Therefore, gaining Seele's trust and maintaining a good relationship with her was a crucial part of his evacuation plan.

In Changkong City, on the verge of the Honkai outbreak, besides important figures like Mobius, Kevin, and Mei, he could disregard everyone else. He had neither the obligation nor the ability to manage them, but Seele...

No matter what, he would never let her suffer even the slightest harm. Absolutely not!

So, I'm sorry, Seele, but... I have to deceive you one more time.

Chapter 77: After This Meeting, We'll Get Married!

"Seele."

After chatting with Seele for a while, Ling Xi checked the time. Five or six minutes had already passed, and it was time for him to leave. After all, he had promised ten minutes and intended to keep his word. If he followed the rules properly, perhaps he could visit again next time.

"What is it?"

Seele was just about to put away her snacks. She had to admit, Ling Xi had bought an excessive amount this time; the cabinets were almost overflowing.

"Seele, you have class this afternoon, so I won't bother you any longer. As for the remaining time..."

Ling Xi spread his hands and smiled, "You should just get some good rest, otherwise you'll be listless this afternoon."

"Huh?"

However, Ling Xi's words seemed to displease Seele. What's the rush? I'm not kicking you out, so why are you leaving so quickly?

"Well then, Seele, see you another day."

Seeing that Seele had no objections, Ling Xi bid her farewell and prepared to make his exit.

"Mmm..."

Seele opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but Ling Xi was already at the door...

Seele "..."
