Mei: Mo Yi, Your Ideas Are a Little Dangerous! (Continued)

But that doesn't mean you won't feel uncomfortable!

The person who smiles the brightest on the outside is often the loneliest inside.

"Damn it (>皿<)——"

Mei muttered to herself the catchphrase she had picked up since coming to Mo Yi's house!

This time, the object of her 'hate' (>皿<) was not Kiana, but herself!

She knew that with her current strength, it would be normal for her to lose to the S-rank Valkyrie's Auntie under normal circumstances. But the problem was that both of her friends won, while she lost.

It feels like three friends with similar grades taking an exam together, and you're the only one who fails. Yes, that agonizing feeling of 'turns out I'm the worst,' or 'they all secretly studied without me joining them.'

Not to mention, before coming to Mo Yi's family, Mei had been searching for evidence to prove her father, Raiden Ryoma's, innocence, and had also been training her own strength, which is why she was able to become a registered B-rank Cultivator of the Cultivator Association at a young age.

After all, in order to solve his father's problem, besides finding enough evidence, becoming a powerful superhuman is also a feasible path.

Have I been too lazy lately?

Mei couldn't help but doubt this, and then Mei would think about her life over the past month and realize that she really hadn't been cultivating as diligently as before. After all, she had to take care of everyone every day, buying groceries, cooking, cleaning, and showing concern for everyone. It didn't seem like a long time, but when added up, it made Mei the busiest person in Mo Yi's family.

Feeling very upset, Mei went to her room, grabbed her Hug Bear, and started throwing it around. (This Hug Bear didn't used to have a name; its current name is Ji Anya.)

So...

I will drift further and further away from everyone.

"Knock knock—"

"Mei, are you there?"

After Mei threw the Hug Bear (Kiana) around and beat it up, she finally felt a little better. Just as she was about to tidy up the messy bed caused by her outburst, a heavenly sound came from outside the door (to Mei).

Miss Mei: "..."

Normally, if Mei heard that Mo Yi had come to her room, Mei would be overjoyed, and then open the door two seconds later, pulling him into the room to have a proper talk.

But her eyes were still a little red, the bed was a bit messy from what she had just done, and even her clothes and hair were a bit disheveled from rolling around. In this state, how could she dare to open the door and see her sweetheart!

"Wait a minute, I'm busy with something right now—"

Miss Mei had no choice but to turn around and then go all out to restore the room to its usual tidy state. After that, she went to the bathroom, perfected her makeup in front of the mirror, and then instantly teleported to the door. All of this was done in a minute.

"Squeak--"

Hearing the door open, Mo Yi came to his senses and saw Miss Mei. She seemed to have recovered, but her eyes looked a little red.

"Mo Yi, is there something you need from me?"

Mei looked at Mo Yi, who rarely took the initiative to contact her, and couldn't guess why he would come to her. Usually, they would play in the living room.

Mo Yi: "..."

The matter is simple: Mo Yi was worried about the other party, so he came.

However, facing the only normal-looking and pretty young lady in the house, Mo Yi found it difficult to utter such serious lines.

If it's Kiana and Yue Xia, there's no need to overthink it; just say whatever you want.

Of course, because you care about what the other person thinks, you don't know what to say, and you always feel ashamed to say those caring words to others.

"You should go buy groceries later, right?"

Mo Yi quickly found an excuse and said:

"I want to go with you; we need to buy a lot of groceries today."

"Um--"

Hearing Mo Yi say this, Miss Mei felt very nervous, but her anxious and expectant heart immediately relaxed. Although she knew that this was the normal way Mo Yi interacted with her, she was still a little disappointed.

In those two seconds, several different images and lines flashed through her mind.

For example, Mo Yi said with a worried expression, "I was a little worried about you, so I came to see you."

Miss Mei: ヽ(`Д? 0? 7)? 1? 7 ┻━┻ ┻━┻"I'm about to go, you come in first. I'll change my clothes now."

Mo Yi didn't stand on ceremony. He had been to Miss Mei's room before. After entering, he sat down on a chair, keeping his eyes straight ahead, waiting for Mei to finish her business.

Of course, Mei didn't do the 'changing clothes' scene that Mo Yi had imagined. She simply changed her coat and picked up her handbag with the things she needed to go out.

Listening to the voice beside him, Mo Yi recalled that the last time he came here was the night after the Amusement Park Incident Miss Mei. Mo Yi's hug still bothered him, and he couldn't figure out what it meant.

"Mei- "

Mo Yi shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about these pointless things, and turned to Mei was almost finished tidying up, saying, "When I was downstairs, you seemed a little unhappy—"

"So I came to see you. Um, are you alright?"

"Uh (⊙o⊙)..."

Mei thought Mo Yi had just come to ask her to go grocery shopping together, but she was caught off guard by his sudden words of concern. Miss Mei was still feeling a bit empty inside because of what had happened before, was suddenly hit hard.

Her heart, which had been feeling a little tight, seemed to be warmed by a surge of emotion, and she smiled naturally, saying, "I felt a little unwell before, but I'm fine now."

The reason is your current concern.

"That's good--"

Mo Yi could see that Miss Mei's smile genuinely contained joy, so he felt relieved and said with a smile, "This is clearly my home, but since you came, I've been leaving a lot of things to you. Now that I think about it, I feel quite embarrassed."

"If you need any help, please tell me. It will help ease my feelings of shame."

"As for Kiana and Yue Xia, they're like children. They probably haven't thought about this kind of thing. I'm sorry to have troubled you all this time."

"Um--"

Hearing this, Miss Mei felt that everything she had been doing all along had been worthwhile.

It turns out that in Mo Yi's eyes, Kiana and Yue Xia are like children, while he is someone they trust. This feels so good.

Thinking of this, Miss Mei couldn't help but smile happily.

"When I need your help, Mo Yi, I won't hesitate to ask."

"Certainly--"
