Do you think this world is serious?

At Cecilia's request, Maria waited expectantly at the door of Chen Xiuming and Cecilia's bedroom.

Hearing the sounds coming from inside the door, Maria felt a surge of excitement and anticipation, and inevitably relieved herself a couple of times amidst the sounds.

It was late at night when the door finally opened slowly under Maria's almost anxious gaze, and Chen Xiuming slowly walked out of the bedroom.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you're finally out—I've been waiting for so long!"

Maria immediately took Chen Xiuming's arm and pulled him toward her bedroom.

Chen Xiuming glanced at Maria and saw that Maria's face was flushed and her pajama bottoms were wet, so he already knew what Maria had just done.

After closing the door behind him, Chen Xiuming followed Maria closely, eventually stopping at the bathroom door.

"Brother-in-law?"

"Maria, let me take a shower first."

Chen Xiuming pushed open the glass door of the washroom and went inside.

Maria's gaze was somewhat resentful, but she did not stop Chen Xiuming. Instead, after hesitating for a second or two, she followed him into the bathroom to take a shower with him.

When the hallway was empty, a soft sound came from the door to Angela's bedroom.

With a barely audible creak, the door opened a crack, revealing blue eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.

Angelia knew that Chen Xiuming would be going to Maria's room tonight, so she hadn't slept and wanted to "eavesdrop".

The sound of a shower came from the bathroom, followed by a strange, hazy sound like a light drizzle.

"Wow—my brother-in-law is so capable! He just satisfied Cecilia's wishes..."

Angelia is not a little girl who knows nothing.

On the contrary, she actually knew more than Maria, but she just didn't show it usually.

It was precisely because he knew so much that he understood just how intense Chen Xiuming was, working up a full night without rest.

This isn't just an occasional sleepless night; it's a frequent sleepless night.

……

The next day.

Chen Xiuming opened his eyes groggily, feeling not only dizzy but also with very heavy eyelids.

He was so exhausted last night that he could only vaguely remember that after satisfying Maria, he leaned against the wall and returned to the bedroom, then held the sleeping Cecilia and fell into a deep sleep.

During this time, he also seemed to hear Angelia's voice, as if asking him if he needed help.

Chen Xiuming remembers simply waving his hand without saying a word to Angelia.

"Hiss... Maria is such a pain in the neck."

The drowsiness that had enveloped his mind gradually dissipated, reminding Chen Xiuming of Maria's performance the previous night.

As Maria said, she would let Chen Xiuming do as he pleased and satisfy all his demands.

However, the reason Chen Xiuming made this assessment was not because of this, but because Maria was very adept at playing around and seemed to have even studied how to arouse her partner's desire.

Chen Xiuming admitted that he lost himself in the sweet and melodious calls of "brother-in-law" last night and couldn't control himself, so he didn't finish until almost six o'clock.

As his groggy mind finally returned to normal, a sudden urge to urinate washed over his nerves, compelling him to get up and go to the toilet.

When Chen Xiuming got up, he found that his legs were sore and weak, and even his waist felt weak.

After a quick wash, he went into the living room, only to find Angelia there.

"Where are Angela, Cecilia, and Maria?"

"Huh? Brother-in-law, you're awake? Sister Cecilia and Sister Maria went out to find the Quantum Shadow."

Angelia quickly put down the cake in her hand, got up and walked quickly to Chen Xiuming's side, taking his arm for support.

"How is your brother-in-law feeling now?"

"……very tired."

Chen Xiuming sighed softly and accepted Angela's help.

If it weren't for the slight reciprocation that each act of sexual intimacy brought, he might not have been able to endure Cecilia and Maria's exploitation.

Angelia seemed to be deep in thought, then a brilliant idea struck her, and she scurried into the kitchen.

A moment later, Chen Xiuming smelled the familiar scent of Chinese medicine.

"Brother-in-law, there's still chicken soup in the fridge. Would you like it heated up?"

Although Angelia can't cook, she can still do things like brewing Chinese medicine and making hot chicken soup.

Chen Xiuming thought for a moment and said, "Please heat up some chicken soup for me—thank you, Angela."

"No trouble!"

Angelia's cheerful voice came from the kitchen, "Brother-in-law, how about we go get some ice cream later?"

"Okay, but won't you get sick if you eat ice cream every day like this?"

"Humph!"

Angelia chuckled smugly and replied matter-of-factly, "Of course not, I exercise with you every day, brother-in-law!"

Chen Xiuming fell silent and stopped talking, then closed his eyes for a short rest.

When Angelia woke him up, about fifteen minutes had passed.

Seemingly to let Chen Xiuming rest a little longer, Angela did not wake him up immediately after heating up the chicken soup, but instead simmered it on a low flame for a while longer.

"Brother-in-law, the chicken soup and Chinese medicine are ready!"

Angela looked at Chen Xiuming with a smile, while holding a bowl of chicken soup in her hand, seemingly preparing to feed Chen Xiuming the soup.

Chen Xiuming did not let Angela feed him the soup. Instead, he took the chicken soup that Angela was holding and drank it all in one gulp.

After a bowl of chicken soup, Chen Xiuming felt as if he had come back to life, and the heaviness in his body eased somewhat.

Angelia pouted slightly, looking a little disappointed, and then asked, "Brother-in-law, should we call Cecilia and Maria 'sister'?"

"I'll send them a message later, and they'll come looking for us when they see it."

If Cecilia and Maria are fighting the Quantum Shadow, making a phone call would likely distract them.

While it might not necessarily lead to their defeat, it could potentially cause them to get injured accidentally.

After finishing their chicken soup and traditional Chinese medicine, Chen Xiuming and Angela stood up and walked towards the entrance, preparing to go out for ice cream.

Angelia hugged Chen Xiuming's arm, beaming with joy: "Brother-in-law, let me help you!"

"Actually, I don't need your help anymore."

Chen Xiuming smiled helplessly, but did not refuse Angela's kindness.

After stepping out of the house, he stared at the sky, slightly lost in thought.

It seems that because the world bubble is about to disappear, the sky is no longer blue, but has become similar to the color of the quantum sea, turning into a dreamy and deep purple curtain like a dazzling starry sky.

Angelia looked puzzled and followed Chen Xiuming's gaze to the sky, but could only see a clear blue sky.

"Brother-in-law?"

Angela called out to Chen Xiuming in confusion.

Chen Xiuming suddenly came to his senses, gently shook his head, and said, "Angelia, which shop would you like to go to for ice cream?"

"I'm going to have an ice cream feast!"

Angelia responded immediately, her delicate, porcelain-doll-like face beaming with joy.

Chen Xiuming smiled faintly, but his heart was heavy.

The world is running out of time.

37. The World Bubble That Is Fading Faster

When Cecilia and Maria found Chen Xiuming and Angelia, Angelia had already eaten half of her ice cream feast.

Chen Xiuming was worried that eating too much cold food would make him catch a cold because he was currently feeling weak, so he did not buy the ice cream feast.

Maria tugged at her clothes uncomfortably, her behavior seeming a bit strange, but Chen Xiuming knew that she must have accidentally gotten soaked in the blood of the Quantum Shadow during the battle.

"Darling, have you seen the change in the sky?"

Cecilia looked worried as she gazed at the sky, which resembled a purple curtain, her brow furrowed with unease.

Chen Xiuming gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Time is running out."

"Brother-in-law, do you know how long it will be before the reset?"

"Based on my previous experience, there should still be about half a month before the reset, but this situation is quite special, so it's best not to use my previous experience as a reference."

Chen Xiuming's tone was low.

The world bubble is on the verge of extinction, and even the sky has changed drastically as a result, so it is indeed not suitable to use previous experience as a reference.

The fact that the sky has transformed into a dreamlike and profound purple curtain, resembling a dazzling starry sky, suggests that the demise of the world bubble is accelerating, and perhaps tomorrow will be the moment of its extinction.

Cecilia and Maria looked at each other in silence, guessing each other's thoughts from their eyes.

When the approximate time of the world bubble's demise cannot be determined, the best course of action is to get Angelia out of the world bubble as soon as possible.

Even if this might exacerbate the demise of the world bubble, it's better than watching Angelia perish along with it.

Cecilia pursed her lips, lost in thought.

Maria stood up, ready to buy herself and Cecilia an ice cream feast.

"Angelia, would you like to have another ice cream feast?"

"Yes! Thank you, Sister Maria!"

Angelia was overjoyed and gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.

Maria smiled silently and walked towards the front desk.

Cecilia seemed to have made up her mind. She took Chen Xiuming's arm, whispered affectionately in his ear, and said, "Darling, you'll be with Angelia tonight..."

Cecilia stopped speaking at this point, but Chen Xiuming already knew what she meant.
