Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Giving Nangong Yu a sidelong glance, Mebius said while eating, "The core of virtual technology is currently still in the hands of Anti-Entropy, and in order to conduct research, I can only seek cooperation with Anti-Entropy."

"I was planning to quit the mule-picking project because of all that mess and restart it in a few years, but then you appeared."

"So, Dr. Mebius, meeting me is your good fortune~" Nangong Yu said jokingly.

"Stop flattering yourself... But you're right, without you, I might have wasted a few more years." Möbius's tone was disdainful, but his expression was very gentle.

"Don't worry, I won't interfere with your lab, Dr. Möbius. I'm very clear about the principle of not letting laymen instruct professionals."

Nangong Yu said earnestly.

No wonder Cocolia valued Mebius so much just now. It turns out she already knew that Mebius had left God City Technology. Was she trying to win him over?

"If only those investors understood this principle."

"It's because Dr. Mebius, your abilities are too great."

"Of course I'm very good."

"..."

As they chatted, the atmosphere between them became more and more harmonious, and the initial awkwardness melted away. However, soon, Mebius frowned slightly.

Did we say something we shouldn't have?

Just as Nangong Yu was wondering, she suddenly heard Möbius say, "You call them all 'sister,' so why do you call me 'Doctor'?"

"?"

Confused by this strange focus of attention, Nangong Yu subconsciously replied, "Then what should I call you?"

"Just be like them, otherwise I'll always feel like an outsider."

But aren't you an outsider?

He muttered this to himself, but he certainly wouldn't say it aloud, showing a lack of emotional intelligence.

"Well, Sister Mebius? Isn't it a bit long?"

"Change the way you address me? Let me do it, let me do it! I know Möbius's nickname!"

As soon as Nangong Yu finished speaking, Sister Aili excitedly popped up.

"and many more!"

Mebius panicked immediately and tried to stop Alice, but Alice just chuckled and said, "It's Snake, isn't it a cute name?"

"Alicia, you!!!! You pink fatso!!!"

"?"

Upon hearing this, Ellie's expression froze, and she squinted at Mebius: "Snake, you really said something you should never have said..."

"W-what? I already said so, so what!"

"Of course..."

Just as Mebius was starting to get a little scared, Alice pounced on him: "The Fairy's tickling torture is here!"

"Wait, you, get out of here! Hahahaha! No, don't touch me! Hahahaha, don't touch me!!"

Caught off guard, Ellie pressed her hand against Mebius's waist, and Mebius immediately went limp and lost the ability to resist, spewing threats while laughing incessantly.

Her voluptuous figure trembled incessantly, revealing glimpses of her body that made Nangong Yu feel embarrassed to look.

His gaze was somewhat unfocused when he suddenly caught a whiff of an intoxicating fragrance.

Sister Eden came over and sat down next to him.

"Sister Eden?"

He asked in confusion, but Eden simply smiled gently at him.

But soon, a slightly cool hand suddenly grasped his warm hand from under the table.

Realizing something, his heart skipped a beat.

Snake, Serena, get married! .jpg

Chapter 253 Qi Bao: Ah Yu, will you help Mei?

Just as Nangong Yu was imagining Ai Li waiting unknowingly outside the door while he was being humiliated and bullied by Eden inside, he suddenly felt a round, hard object in his palm.

"Ok?"

As soon as the item landed in her hand, Sister Eden withdrew her hand.

He opened his palm in confusion and found a round, sky-blue gemstone lying quietly inside. The gemstone was completely free of impurities and looked incredibly clear.

"Sister Eden?"

He turned his head in confusion and met Eden's unchanging, gentle gaze.

"I'm in a great mood today, this is a little gift for you."

"......Thanks."

Oh, that's not what it meant. What a disappointment... Oh no, this is great!

"What, don't you like it?"

Noticing the subtle disappointment on Nangong Yu's expression, Eden's lips curled up, and he chuckled softly.

"No, no, no, I like it very much, thank you Eden!"

Suppressing the thoughts in her mind, Nangong Yu said with a smile.

This isn't entirely untrue; the gemstone is remarkably pure, containing virtually no impurities. When placed in sunlight, it refracts a breathtakingly beautiful light, brimming with dreamlike colors.

I can give it to Seele when I get back; she'll definitely love it.

“Yes, I’m very happy,” Eden replied with a smile.

"Eden, Ah Yu, what good stuff are you two working on?"

Mebius beneath her was already in a daze. When Ellie looked up, she saw Eden and Ayu huddled together, looking at what Ayu was holding.

Without a second thought, Ellie shook off Mebius and immediately strode over to him.

"A little gift from Sister Eden."

He smiled and gestured to Sister Aili, then handed her the gem in his hand.

"Wow~ so beautiful!"

After examining the gemstone for a while, Ellie put it back in Nangong Yu's hand: "Such a beautiful blue, it must suit Seele very well."

"We've decided to work together."

"Hehe, as expected, Ah Yu and I are on the same wavelength~"

Looking at the pink gemstone on her ring, Ellie smiled happily.

"Seele, are you planning to give this to that lovely child?"

Eden chimed in, then leaned closer and said with a smile, "If that's the case, this gemstone could be made into a necklace. Wait a minute, a friend just made a few for me."

Soon, Eden walked out of the room and came back, this time with a bright silver necklace in his hand.

"What do you think of this?"

With a simple pull and push, he removed the emerald from the center of the necklace and then easily inserted the sapphire from Nangong Yu's hand into it.

Looking at the intricate and beautiful patterns on the necklace, and the incredibly delicate structure of the necklace itself, Nangong Yu's eyes widened: "It's so beautiful, and this necklace..."

Reaching out, I gently touched the edge of the gemstone and flicked it. Suddenly, the entire hemispherical outer frame began to rotate in several layers, just like an exquisite and intricate sphere. Moreover, the rotation was as complex as a kaleidoscope, yet it highlighted the sapphire as the main element. Such a beautiful object was undoubtedly a display of the maker's skill.

Ellie's eyes sparkled as she looked at Eden.

Eden smiled and gently patted Ellie's head: "Don't worry, I've already prepared your share."

"Eden is definitely the best!!"

Ellie excitedly hugged him, pushing Nangong Yu aside.

"Tsk, boring."

Möbius remarked that she had always been...

"I've also prepared Möbius's share."

"Ahem, it's not impossible if you want it..."

She really liked the green gem that Eden had just pried off; she felt it suited her perfectly.

When the topic turned to jewelry, Nangong Yu quickly had no chance to interject, and even Mebius squeezed in with great interest, and the three of them talked non-stop.

Time passed quickly, and it was soon noon. It was time to return to St. Freya.

"Mébius, what are your plans for this period of time?"

As she was leaving, Ellie suddenly asked a question.

"The lab can't open for the time being. Since I can't do experiments, I'll take a vacation for a while. It feels like it's been a long time since I've had a break."

"Stretching lazily," Mebius said languidly.

She had changed into long jeans, paired with a white shirt and a khaki jacket, and wore sunglasses, looking quite mature and fashionable.

Since Ellie and Eden were going home, they dressed much more simply, wearing fitted long dresses with light jackets, and their hair was only casually styled by Nangong Yu.

"Take a vacation? In that case, why don't you come visit me?"

Eden suddenly spoke up at that moment.

"Go to your place?"

"Yes, I have a lot of empty rooms, so we can all get together more often."

She lives alone in the entire villa, and she had been thinking of suggesting this to Möbiusz earlier.

Mebius turned his head, so he couldn't see her eyes behind her sunglasses, but after a moment of contemplation, she nodded gently.

“That works too. It’s pretty boring being home alone, and Greta is there too.”

Although Gretchen had been corrupted and called her Grandma Mebius every day, she still liked Gretchen very much. Anyway, she could just put the blame on that pink-haired girl.

"By the way, Sister Snake, do you have any requirements regarding the location of your research?"
