"This... I only let him touch white stockings because he's never touched a little girl in his life, and I was concerned about his mental and physical well-being. You guys are really overthinking it!"

Sandoni's dry explanation was clearly useless, making him seem like a bronze player who hadn't even started ranked matches in front of a high-level Suzuran.

It's a pure case of being outclassed; no wonder people say that arrogance is relegated to a lower level.

By the time Miss Sandone makes up her mind to charge forward, Linglan and Su Ming will probably already have three children. The main problem is that she's so indecisive, and by then it'll be too late.

"You can fool me with those kinds of words, but don't fool yourself!"

Lily continued cooking with a smile, while also wondering when Sandone would finally confront his own feelings.

Or should I continue to reject this stirring in my heart?

Lily felt a kind of live-streaming joy; who could resist following the love gossip of the executive officer? This was a truly rare and precious joy.

I never expected that the puppet would have such a girlish side. I've seen her before, but she always had a cold and aloof demeanor, and there was always a big robot by her side, which looked quite scary.

Once we got to know each other, I was surprised to find that she was quite simple-minded. That's what they mean by not judging a book by its cover.

"No, I mean, are you two cooking yourselves? Do you really want to starve yourselves to death?"

Su Ming peeked out from the door frame, revealing a resentful look. If these two weren't making a scene here, why aren't they cooking and instead playing at a relationship advice show?

Chapter 112 You're the one who should get lost.

"No."

Linglan gave Su Ming a sweet smile. "Miss Sandone just told me that she's been struggling with how to confess to you. She hasn't been able to sleep well for days because of it."

This was her final ripple. Consider it a reward for the good time they'd spent together these past few days, Suzuran decided to give her a gentle push.

Otherwise, it would be a long time before that proud and arrogant Sandone confesses his feelings. What if the Queen has already collected all seven Hearts of God by then, and the puppet is still being so proud and arrogant?

Linglan sighed inwardly. What an understanding waitress she was! Miss Sandoni must invite her to dinner later.

"Oh?"

Su Ming looked at Sandone, and in just a fraction of a second, he switched to a cold, domineering CEO smile. "Woman, you have successfully caught my attention."

Sandone, whose pretty face had been flushed, instantly lost her expression, stomped on Su Ming's foot viciously, and spat, "Shameless!"

"Just kidding, is dinner ready yet?"

Su Ming chuckled and patted Sandoni's head. With his intelligence, how could he not guess that it was Linglan teasing the young Miss Sandoni? Naturally, he wouldn't take it seriously.

But teasing Sandog is really fun. Just like a puppy, it gets angry when teased, which is quite interesting.

Su Ming walked over to Linglan and smiled helplessly at her. Linglan returned the smile with a sly and adorable one, making it impossible for anyone to feel any resentment. This quirky charm was unique to Linglan.

Since leaving Winter, Lily of the Valley's personality has become more outgoing and confident at a visible speed, and the shadow of the timid and self-conscious little nun is almost impossible to find.

This was something Su Ming was happy to see; compared to the little nun he had met for the first time, Linglan was now much more cheerful.

"Dinner is fish soup~" Lily of the Valley revealed a mischievous smile, "Please look forward to it!"

"Uh..."

Sandoni's expression froze slightly. She was now so sick of the word "fish soup" that she felt nauseous. It was clear that Su Ming's fish soup had won her heart.

Su Ming's expression stiffened for a moment, but Linglan's cooking skills were still commendable, far superior to his.

Anyway, Su Ming has come to terms with it now. Rather than eating shit for those few buffs, he'd rather eat some normal food to cleanse his mind.

Eating bizarre food every day, no matter how many buffs it provides, can't make up for the damage to your taste buds—that's irreparable damage.

"What's with those expressions on your faces?" Linglan frowned slightly. "We can't skip dinner, let's go!"

Sandonne pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, "This person really looks like my mom..."

Su Ming nodded in deep agreement. He had thought this more than once. In terms of life, Miss Linglan was really like his mother, with all the rules and regulations arranged perfectly. She was also very strict about his schedule. Several times when she found Su Ming staying up late reading light novels, she got so angry that she kicked him hard with her stockings.

This kick pierced through the stars!

That time, Linglan kicked Su Ming so hard that he was knocked unconscious on the bed, and blood spurted from his nose all over the floor.

But to be honest, I slept very soundly that night, at least until the next night, almost as if I could sleep straight into my next life.

Why not just time travel again? Maybe I can go to the neighboring Star Iron. Anyway, there are white silks there too, so I'm not afraid of losing my pursuit of life.

Fu Taibu's white silk is also quite nice, but unfortunately he probably won't have the chance to time travel unless he really dies.

Su Ming doesn't have that idea yet. He finally managed to get the system, so how could he just leave? The main thing is, what if he actually sent it?

Does he have insurance?

If he really dies, won't that boost the sales of the funeral parlor?

That won't do. He was born in the winter and died in the winter. Even in death, he must return to the coffin of the winter!

Well, actually, Su Ming suspected that the ice coffin contained a secret related to him. However, the ice coffin was said to be placed in the Empress's palace, and ordinary people could not get close to it. The same was true for the executive officers. Almost no one had ever entered that mysterious palace.

Hidden beneath the snow-covered landscape are not only the secrets of the Ice Queen, but perhaps even more unknowns.

Given Su Ming's current strength, it's unreasonable for him to force his way in. As an executive officer, he's not qualified. He would need to be at least at the top level to have the right to request entry. If he were to try to sneak in, he would most likely be crushed by the heavy defenses before he even got inside.

While I'm not bragging, Su Ming's infiltration skills are truly appalling, something Sandoni probably knows all too well.

For Su Ming, the perfect infiltration would be to wipe out all the guards at the infiltration location. That would be the perfect infiltration, with no witnesses, right?

Who says berserkers can't stealth?

After dinner, the three returned to their familiar room. This time, Sandoni glared at Su Ming sternly and said seriously, "You, go next door!"

Su Ming's lips twitched slightly, somewhat speechless. "Is there any possibility that this is my room (you're the one who should get out)?"

"What do you mean 'your room'? This is my room!"

Sandonne kicked Su Ming out of his room, closed the door, and said seriously, "From now on, the two of us will sleep here."

Linglan blinked and nodded obediently in agreement, "Okay, as long as Sister Sandone doesn't kick off the covers tonight."

"what?"

"Do I look like the kind of person who would do that kind of thing?"

Sandonne curled his lip in disdain.

late at night.

Suzuran stared into thought as she looked at the blanket that had been taken from her, while also enjoying the sleep-talking of the Seventh Executive Puppet.

Don't leave me.

"I really..."

Sandonne murmured to herself, clutching the blanket curled up in a ball; clearly, in her dream, the puppet girl was still as proud and aloof as ever.

Linglan sighed helplessly, stepped out of bed, put on her slippers, and tiptoed out of the room.

"Click"

Linglan originally wanted to use her key to open the door, but found that the door was simply pushed open a crack, and Su Ming hadn't locked the door at all.

In the dimly lit room, only the desk lamp cast a flickering glow, illuminating Su Ming's profile with gentle light. With his eyes closed, he had fallen asleep sitting up.

Linglan walked to Su Ming's side, intending to cover him with a blanket, but inadvertently noticed the notebook that was not closed on the desk.

[Obtain the Heart of the Anemo Archon and acquire your first Constellation before considering stealing the Heart of the Geo Archon; this depends on the conditions for unlocking Constellations.]

Lily of the Valley opened her eyes wide, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat complicated.

If she understood correctly, Su Mingge was trying to seize the Heart of God, which meant he was going against the Empress...

Or is she overthinking it, and this is also part of the Queen's plan?

Chapter 113 Listen to me, it's all a misunderstanding.

Urgent! I don't understand, so I'm asking. As a waiter, I accidentally discovered the executive officer's plot to betray the queen. How should I react?

Option A [For Her Majesty the Queen!]: Pretend to know nothing, but secretly report the Hermit's evil plot to Her Majesty the Queen, imprison him in the Winter Prison, and betray him fiercely!

Option B: [Hermit, you don't want the other executives to know about your betrayal of the Queen, do you...]: Use this as leverage to directly become the Hermit's master and engage in unspeakable and stimulating scenarios.

Option C [Isolate the entire Winter!]: Directly betray Winter with the Hermit, seize the power of the gods before the Queen, directly elevate the Hermit to godhood, and crush Teyvat!

Option D [I didn't see anything]: Forget the text you just saw, pretend you don't know anything, and go to sleep next to the hermit.

Linglan blinked, then carried Su Ming to the bed and tiptoed to lie down beside him, looking somewhat troubled.

It's impossible to truly forget. Does he really have to follow Su Ming in betraying Zhi Dong and the Empress?

What would Lady Columbia think of her then? Would she show disappointment in her?

Lily of the Valley had never been in such a dilemma before. Lying in bed, she tossed and turned, biting her cherry lips with her pearly teeth, still unable to make a decision.

She could make a decision quickly if it weren't for Columbia... but if betraying Winter meant standing against Lady Columbia.

Linglan sighed softly. Was she forced to choose between the two most important people in her life?

Honestly, she can't do it.

Lily of the Valley's eyes dimmed slightly; if only there were a way to have the best of both worlds.

If only... Lady Columbia could also betray Winter and the Queen, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Suzuran was completely unaware that her current thoughts were extremely dangerous; if the Fools found out, she would be immediately thrown into prison for trial.

Unforgivable crime—that's how serious the charge is.

Thinking so much would only add to her troubles, so Linglan sighed softly and decided to continue with what she had done before.

Anyway, Su Ming is still sleeping, so he'll definitely be fine.

Linglan comforted herself in this way, after all, it had happened before, so the second time was nothing, while carefully observing Su Ming's condition.

Since her accidental encounter last time, Suzuran has found that ordinary experiences can't compare to that kind of excitement, but she hasn't had many opportunities to try it again.

We can't exactly give Su Ming sleeping pills, can we? As a waiter, we can't do something like that for our own selfish desires.

This very moment is the perfect time, the right place, and the right opportunity; it is the moment destined for us.

Anyway, once you're unfamiliar with each other, you'll become familiar with each other.

After a period of time that was neither short nor long, Linglan wiped the sweat from her forehead, hugged the blanket, and weakly drifted off to sleep.
