Ark Simulator, Don't I Have No Physical Form?

With that thought in mind, Zofia couldn't help but reach out and pinch Su Rui's cheek.

"Ugh, don't disturb me while I'm playing games."

Su Rui muttered words to stop Zofia, but his hands were still operating the game with its severe death penalty, and he didn't have time to let go and stop Zofia.

Moreover, even when the game reached a point where a slight pause was possible, Su Rui let go of the controller with one hand, making Zofia nervous, thinking he was going to slap her hand away. However, Su Rui reached for a snack, stuffed it into her mouth, and then continued playing the game.

This surprised Zofia; Su Rui didn't react at all?

So, Zofia's actions became even more unrestrained. Looking at Su Rui's lazy and relaxed appearance, Zofia thought for a moment, then leaned against the seat next to Su Rui, sat down like him, and picked up her drink, waving it in front of him without blocking his view of Su Rui game:

Would you like a drink?

"Hmm~ I want to drink. Oh, right, I have a straw here."

While Su Rui was multitasking and answering Zofia's questions, and while Zofia was wondering how Su Rui would get the straw out, the straw appeared out of thin air in the cup in her hand and gently fell in, in just the right spot.

Zofia was taken aback for a moment, but instead of offering the cup to Su Rui's lips as he expected, she took a sip herself to moisten her slightly dry lips before waving the drink in her hand at Su Rui.

"If you want a drink, do you have to say something? Like asking someone for a magical word or something."

Zofia wanted was for Su Rui to say something like "please" to her in a coquettish tone.

However, Su Rui never followed others' ideas, so he silently glanced at Zofia with his ruby-like eyes, and just as Zofia was starting to feel nervous, he suddenly spoke:

"Please, Zofia, the others can do anything~"

"You're so self-centered."

Zofia's heart trembled slightly at Su Rui's sudden coquettish tone, and even her outstretched hand trembled a little, but she still handed the drink to Su Rui.

Su Rui paused her game briefly, leaned on Zofia's shoulder to finish her drink, then winked at her, turned away, and continued playing.

Just as Zofia was feeling uncertain because of Su Rui's aloof attitude, she suddenly heard a "thump!" and discovered that the door had been opened.

Feeling guilty Zofia instinctively turned her head to look, only to find that it was Maria who opened the door and walked in.

"Auntie? And Su Rui, are you playing games?"

Maria didn't think much of it; she simply glanced around the room and then sat down on the other side of Su Rui.

Zofia tried to calm her racing heart and said in a composed tone, "I was just watching Su Rui play games to pass the time."

Su Rui glanced at Maria, who was sitting next to her, and asked, "Want to play games together?"

"Me? I don't need to. Just watch you play games, Su Rui ~"

Maria glanced at the TV screen and, finding herself not particularly interested, snuggled close to Su Rui, nuzzling Su Rui cheek as she watched the game.

Zofia thought about Su Rui's actions earlier. They had acted so intimately, but then suddenly distanced themselves. Was it because Maria was coming? He had made Maria anxious and insecure. What a naughty boy.

Zofia felt a surge of resentment, but couldn't vent it because Maria was present... Damn it, was this part of your plan too? How despicable.

Zofia gritted her teeth in anger, and could only secretly reach out and pinch Su Rui lightly from an angle that Maria couldn't see to express her dissatisfaction.

However, Su Rui, engrossed in the game, didn't pay any attention, and suddenly said, "Oh, right!"

Su Rui's voice startled Maria and Zofia, causing both girls to flinch. Zofia, feeling guilty, quickly withdrew her wrist.

Maria gently patted Su Rui's knee, puzzled. "What happened, Su Rui?"

"It's nothing, I forgot," Su Rui said casually, operating the controller in his hand. Zofia gave him a disgruntled look, leaned back against the chair, and heard footsteps approaching from outside the door.

Who's here again?

Volume 5, Chapter 294: Maria is now a member of the underworld.

Zofia's doubts were quickly dispelled, because the person who came knocked politely instead of opening the door rashly like Maria had.

"Aunt? And Maria? Are you inside? I'm back, may I come in?"

The familiar voice immediately brought a cheerful smile to Zofia's face, but she also glanced at Maria with some displeasure. "Maria, you seem to have forgotten to knock."

"I'm sorry, Auntie~ Please let my sister in, sister~ You can come in~" Maria raised her voice, Margaret was outside the door, opened the door after hearing it. She then saw Zofia and Maria sitting on either side of Su Rui, playing games with him.

Hi Margaret, long time no see.

This was Su Rui greeting him. Margaret paused for a moment, looking at Su Rui's familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face, and pondered for a moment:

"You are... Su Rui?" Margaret was a little unsure, after all, the last time she saw Su Rui, he was still a Vouivre.

"Hmm, the reasons are complicated, but I am indeed the Su Rui you've met."

Su Rui smiled at Margaret, temporarily stopping the game. The next scene should be a touching reunion of the three sisters, right? Playing a game at this moment would feel a bit out of place.

However, Margaret smiled and shook her head after hearing Su Rui's words, "Actually, the Doctor told us about this. Su Rui, you are very special, but you are also easy to recognize. The Doctor also asked me to say hello to you, saying that you will meet soon."

"Really? But I don't have any plans to go to Rhodes Island for the time being."

As Su Rui spoke, she stood up and said, "I won't disturb your reminiscing any longer~ I'm going out to play games first."

Just as Su Rui was about to slip away, Maria reached out and pulled him back, saying irritably:

"What are you thinking? You're a member of the Nearl family now, you're not allowed to run away."

Margaret gave Su Rui a meaningful look, then sat down next to Zofia.

"I came back this time because I was worried that Maria might be in danger because of the Knight Tournament, but it seems that you, Su Rui, have already solved the problem. Although the Doctor had told me the result beforehand, I was still surprised when I found out."

"Hmm... So, how much did the Doctor tell you? How much does she actually know?"

Su Rui, on the other hand, was somewhat curious, and also felt a bit resentful. After all, even Rhodes Island couldn't transmit information in real time over such a long distance. The Doctor must have known this information so quickly because of the technology of the Previous Civilization, right?

Or is it because his mother Doctor, is special?

Su Rui was genuinely curious about the specifics of what Margaret knew.

"I know you've replaced many people in the Commercial Union, as well as its henchmen, the Armorless Union, who are also under your control. And I also know that Maria has now become Miss Coriander?"

Even the usually serious Margaret couldn't help but look at her sister Maria with a hint of teasing amidst her relief.

My younger sister has unknowingly transformed from a naive girl into a mature and composed woman, respected and feared by many.

"Who is Miss Coriander? Maria? How come I don't know anything about her?"

Zofia frowned slightly and turned to look at Maria with suspicion.

"Aunt, your information has been confirmed; that was more than ten days ago."

A mischievous smile crept onto Su Rui's lips, and then Zofia seized the opportunity to give him a hard slap:

"So what were you and Maria doing behind the scenes?"

"Maria is now the big boss of the underworld!"

Maria blushed a little at Su Rui's exaggerated words. "No, that's not true... Actually, I did everything under Su Rui's guidance. Rather than calling me Miss Coriander, isn't Su Rui the real Miss Coriander?"

"You might as well say I'm the man behind Miss Coriander."

Su Rui and Maria's words did not divert Zofia's attention. She reached out and pulled Su Rui into her arms, making it impossible for Su Rui to block her gaze from falling on Maria.

Maria, upon seeing Zofia's serious and earnest gaze, couldn't help but shiver and hesitate, saying, "Auntie~"

"So you've been doing so many things behind my back. This is dangerous, Maria."

Su Rui glanced at the girl who didn't dare to speak under her aunt's oppressive presence, then turned to Zofia to speak up for Maria:

"Don't be so angry, Auntie~ Maria and I have done a lot of good deeds, and people in the underworld respect us a lot. Besides, Maria and I paid for the maintenance of the Nearl family castle with our own money... although Uncle Młynar paid even more."

"Hmph, that doesn't change the fact that you've done so many dangerous things behind the scenes! Have you thought about how to admit your mistakes?"

Zofia snorted coldly, and seeing Su Rui winking at her with a smile, her questioning tone softened somewhat.

"Wrong, completely wrong!"

Su Rui and Zofia distanced themselves, and Suri stood next to Maria, a smug smile on her lips, "We don't need to apologize!"

"But you made a mistake, didn't you?" Zofia crossed her arms and looked at Su Rui, wanting to see what he would say.

"No, no, Maria and I are big shots in the underworld now, we've achieved great success, so it's not like we did anything wrong. Only failure is a mistake. If we succeed, this is a perfect and courageous entrepreneurial endeavor!"

A smug smile crept onto Su Rui's lips. It was a pity the current situation wasn't suitable; otherwise, he could have argued that only failure constituted a rebellion.

The atmosphere paused for a moment because of Su Rui's words. Even Maria couldn't help but smile awkwardly and reluctantly because of Su Rui's words. Facing the meaningful smiles and gazes of her Aunt Zofia and her sister, Maria shyly hid behind Su Rui.

Seeing the atmosphere, Margaret couldn't help but step forward to speak up for Maria:

"Alright, Auntie, I think Maria and the others..."

Before Margaret could finish speaking, Zofia glared at her. "I was just about to say this, what did you call me? I already told you I'm only a few years older than you, don't call me aunt!"

"I understand, Zofia. I brought back some specialties from other countries from Rhodes Island this time. Let's go take a look together. Su Rui and Maria, come along too."

As Margaret spoke, she subtly winked at Maria and Su Rui. Su Rui understood immediately. "I know a lot about the history of various countries, so leave the introductions to me."

Volume 5, Chapter 295: The Doctor's Gift... 0.01?

However, although Margaret said she brought back local specialties, it was actually more of a distraction for Zofia.

In fact, Margaret had already prepared gifts for everyone, and even Su Rui received a gift from Margaret.

"The Doctor told me you were at home, so I prepared one for you too. Oh, and there's also a gift from the Doctor for you."

"Thanks."

Su Rui nodded, took the gift from Margaret's hand, and after glancing at Maria, opened the gift with her.

There were no unexpected gifts, but Su Rui really liked the little trinkets Margaret gave her, and she held them in her hands and played with them for a long time.

However, Margaret also noticed the gift belonging to the Doctor in Su Rui's hand, and looked at Su Rui with some confusion:

"Su Rui, aren't you going to look at the gift the Doctor gave you?"

"Yes, what gift will that mysterious and wise Doctor give you? I'd love to know too."

As Maria spoke, she moved closer to Su Rui and nuzzled Su Rui's cheek.

"... I could tell without even activating the Scanning Vision that this wasn't anything particularly respectable, and to be honest, I didn't really want to see it."

Su Rui looked at the package in her hand, sighed, and then reached out to open the gift in her hand.

Under the questioning gazes of Maria and Zofia, Su Rui couldn't help but show a somewhat disgusted expression. She reached into the gift box, took out a piece of paper, looked at it, and then showed its contents to Maria: "Are you sure you want me to share this gift?"

As she spoke, Su Rui showed Maria the letter in her hand, which contained only one sentence. "Earn this much, or you'll run out."

During this process, Su Rui was able to block the gaze of Margaret and Zofia, who were standing opposite her.

After all, it's packed full of 0.01.

"Mmm~" Maria's cheeks flushed instantly, and she immediately closed the gift box around her stomach, cradling it protectively in her arms as she warily watched Margaret and Zofia opposite her.

"This isn't a gift worth mentioning, so Aunt and Sister don't need to look at it."

"Is it some kind of gift that can't be told? Then I won't ask." Margaret was a little puzzled, but she nodded at Su Rui and Maria without pressing for details.

Zofia, standing nearby, couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile. From Su Rui and Maria's expressions, she could already guess what was inside.

"Oh, I see. Then I won't ask you anymore. Let's go, Margaret, don't bother them."

With that, Zofia patted Margaret on the shoulder, who was still deep in thought, "Alright, stop thinking about it, let's go."

"Oh." Margaret nodded, then followed Zofia. After leaving the room where Maria and Su Rui were, she looked at Zofia with a puzzled expression:

"So, what gifts did Su Rui and Maria see?"

"What, didn't you say you weren't going to ask?" Zofia looked at Margaret with a teasing smile and nudged Margaret waist with her elbow.

"If it's not anything important... I'm actually a little curious too." Margaret nodded and looked at Zofia: "So, can you tell me?"

"Hmph, you don't need to know for now. I just happen to know."

Zofia smiled at Margaret, "This is indeed a rather private matter. I can only guess because I happen to know. Margaret, you should go and get some rest. You must be very tired after coming all the way from Rhodes Island."

"I'm actually not that tired." Zofia didn't seem to care about Margaret's words, and simply smiled at her.

"I have some things to attend to, so please feel free to stay here. Excuse me."

After saying that, Zofia turned and left, the smile on her lips gradually fading. Although the Doctor's gift had indeed piqued Maria and Su Rui's interest, Zofia wasn't particularly happy right now, because she couldn't have Su Rui like Maria did.

So while Zofia found it interesting, she wasn't too happy and needed to think of a way to speed things up between me and Su Rui.

At this moment, Zofia was no longer troubled by her own moral dilemmas or the nagging pain in her conscience.

After being provoked, she realized her true feelings. She was jealous and unhappy about Maria because of the intimacy between Su Rui and Maria, so she had feelings for Su Rui, which is beyond question.
