Do you think this world is serious?

"That's Houmu Happy Restaurant, which sells some food that's not very nutritious but is very delicious."

Nutritional value?

A look of bewilderment crossed her face as she embraced him under the moonlight; these were words she had never encountered before.

Even when it comes to food, she has only ever eaten "fresh blood".

"I don't know if I can eat normally like a human, but..."

Under the moonlight, Chuyong's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Chen Xiuming with anticipation. "Human, I want to try the kind of food you mentioned, which is to eat at Houmu Happy Restaurant with you."

"Okay, we'll go to Houmu Happy Restaurant later."

"Uh-huh!"

Under the moonlight, Chu Yang nodded happily, then pointed to another brightly lit area. "What's that place with so many lights?"

"That's Houmu Amusement Park. There's a very tall Ferris wheel there. You can see cruise ships on the sea from there. It's said that if couples kiss at the top of the Ferris wheel, it means their love will never be separated."

Chen Xiuming's voice drifted on the night breeze into Yuexia Chuyong's ears. Although it contained words she couldn't understand, she keenly grasped the key meaning of the second half of his sentence—

If you kiss at the top of the Ferris wheel, you will have a love that will never be separated.

"Never to be apart..."

Under the moonlight, Chu Xiong gently savored the word, then asked expectantly, "Human, can we go to the amusement park?"

Before Chen Xiuming could answer, Yuexia Chuyong, seemingly wanting to conceal her true purpose, added, "I also want to taste the ice cream myself and touch the Houmu doll..."

"No problem, whatever you want to do, I'll be there for you."

Chen Xiuming's gaze was gentle, and a warm smile graced his lips.

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong stared blankly at Chen Xiuming, then blushed and looked away.

Her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her chest, the pounding sound like thunder exploding in her ears, making her feel her body and cheeks burning, yet she seemed guilty and dared not look directly at Chen Xiuming.

Looking at the shy Yuexia Chuyong, Chen Xiuming didn't think much of it, but just affectionately rubbed Yuexia Chuyong's head.

Although he knew that Yuexia Chuyong would be very beautiful when she grew up, and that she would have a voluptuous and graceful figure, at the moment, in his eyes, Yuexia Chuyong was no different from an innocent child.

Whether in appearance or mental age, she is a girl who has not grown up.

Judging from appearance alone, Sirin is a year older than Moonlit Embrace.

— Chen Xiuming is treating Yuexia Chuyong like a "daughter," just like he treated Xilin.

"Human, thank you..."

The whispered thank you under the moonlight was barely audible; before Chen Xiuming could hear it clearly, she quickly gazed at the dazzling cityscape at night, a mixture of sorrow and contentment in her eyes.

"This isn't just a description in a book, but a real city, lights, and people..."

"The night is still long..."

"No, it should be that the future is still very long."

Under the moonlight, Chu Xiong murmured to himself, as if he had figured something out. He took a deep breath, then turned around gracefully, his black and white dress swaying slightly in the night breeze.

"Human, in the future—you will always be with me, right?"

The moonlight silently fell upon Chu Xiong's long hair under the moonlight, as if draping her in a hazy veil of moonlight, making her shine brightly and giving her an ethereal and otherworldly air.

Chen Xiuming didn't say much, only giving a firm, soft "hmm".

Under the moonlight, their first embrace blossomed into an innocent and radiant smile, like a vibrant flower in full bloom, drawing Chen Xiuming's gaze.

"Human, may I make an unreasonable request?"

Under the moonlight, Chu Yang reached out her small right hand, revealing sharp canine teeth beneath her slightly upturned cherry-colored lips. "Would you like to dance with me here?"

"With great pleasure."

Chen Xiuming smiled gently and reached out to hold the right hand of the woman he had just embraced under the moonlight.

Although there are no songs to accompany the dance, the silent melody woven from the bustling night scene and the bright moonlight is the best accompaniment for the dance.

With her awkward and clumsy dance steps, Yuexia Chuyong took the initiative to tell her about her "older sister".

Although she escaped with her "sister," she later ran away from her "sister."

The sister's selfless gentleness made her dependent on her, yet it also made her uneasy, and she couldn't help but start to doubt whether the sister really needed her.

From her birth to the present, Yuexia Chuyu has become accustomed to living by conforming to the "needs" of others. The gentleness of her "older sister" makes her feel that her emotions do not belong to her own, and she can never feel grounded.

I feel at ease yet uneasy, uneasy yet warm-hearted.

This complex emotion ultimately drove Yuexia Chuyong to flee from her "sister's" side.

"I am ultimately a puppet that Grandpa created for my sister's resurrection, but..."

As the moonlight embraced her, Chen Xiuming stopped her clumsy dance steps. Her shoes were covered with footprints, all from when she accidentally stepped on them while dancing.

Although Chen Xiuming also cannot dance, his excellent body control allows him to follow the steps of Yuexia Chuyong and avoid stepping on Yuexia Chuyong's feet.

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong looked up at her delicate, youthful face, revealing a somewhat complex expression: "Can 'dolls' also possess such emotions?"

Before this, she would have seen the answer to this question as her only "salvation," but now...

Having found "redemption," she no longer clung to the answer to this question.

However, out of curiosity, after much deliberation, she decided to ask Chen Xiuming this question, wanting to know his opinion on it.

“First of all, Theresa, you are not a doll, but a real person.”

"Secondly, even a 'doll' becomes aware of these things and begins to think about its 'self,' which means it is no longer a simple 'doll.'"

Chen Xiuming's reply was slow, earnest, and firm.

Under the moonlight, Chu Xiong seemed to hear something unexpected yet perfectly reasonable. A joyful smile suddenly bloomed on his lips, but tears welled up in his eyes and he wept uncontrollably.

Chapter 131 Moonlit Embrace: Feed Me.

Chen Xiuming reached out and wiped away Chu Xiong's tears under the moonlight, his movements slow and gentle.

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong gazed intently at Chen Xiuming, then gently grasped his hands as he wiped away her tears, savoring the warmth emanating from them.

"Human, thank you..."

Under the moonlight, she embraced him again and thanked him. Neither her tone nor her expression showed the indifference she had shown when they first met. Instead, her voice was filled with deep affection and love.

Chen Xiuming chuckled and continued to gently wipe away the remaining tears on Yuexia Chuyong's cheeks.

Then, he asked in a low voice, "Want to continue watching the night view?"

Moonlit Embrace gently shook her head and said, "No. Human, let's go to the Houmu Happy Restaurant for dinner now."

"it is good."

Chen Xiuming nodded slightly, then continued, "'Human' is a bit too formal. My name is Chen Xiuming, you can just call me 'Xiuming'."

"Ah."

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong uttered a soft nasal sound, then uttered a light, airy word, "I understand, Xiu Ming."

Chen Xiuming chuckled silently, took her soft, boneless hand in his arms, and pulled her into his embrace.

With Kiana's help, Chen Xiuming embraced Chuyong under the moon and returned to the alley where they first met.

Gana watched Chen Xiuming and Yuexia Chuyong with a smile throughout, without saying anything to distract Chen Xiuming.

Back in the alley, Chen Xiuming took the initiative to let go of Yuexia Chuyong, which made Yuexia Chuyong show some reluctance.

She felt very safe and secure in Chen Xiuming's arms, and didn't want to leave his embrace.

Hesitant for a few seconds under the moonlight, she then took Chen Xiuming's right hand.

"Human... Xiu Ming, where is the Houmu Happy Restaurant?"

"I'll take you."

Chen Xiuming held Yuexia Chuyong's small hand tightly and stepped out of the alley, while Yuexia Chuyong followed closely behind him, her face full of anticipation.

Houmu Happy Restaurant is not far from this alley, about a ten-minute walk away.

Chen Xiuming's only worry was that he would unexpectedly run into Himeko, who had finished her investigation, on his way to Houmu Happy Restaurant.

If Himeko discovers that he wasn't seriously investigating but instead spending his time with the "girl" under the moonlight, then he'll inevitably get a complaint from Himeko.

Fortunately, the two did not encounter Himeko before they arrived at the Houmu Happy Restaurant.

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong looked on with curiosity, quietly following Chen Xiuming, watching him skillfully order food and pay for it.

When Chen Xiuming needed to pick up the tray, she would proactively let go of his right hand, instead holding onto the hem of his clothes, slowly following him while carefully observing the situation inside the store.

Canghai City is very lively even at night, but it is already past midnight. Only Chen Xiuming and Yuexia Chuyong have chosen to dine at Houmu Happy Restaurant. The others either choose the more convenient takeout or simply do not buy food from Houmu Happy Restaurant.

Chen Xiuming and Yuexia Chuyong sat at a table in the corner, their atmosphere like that of a couple, but Yuexia Chuyong's youthful appearance made them look more like "brother and sister".

"Xiu Ming, you can..."

Under the moonlight, Chu Xiong clutched Chen Xiuming's sleeve and whispered, "Can you feed me? I've never eaten before, I don't know how to eat..."

The embrace under the moon was a lie.

Although she had never eaten normal food like humans before, she knew how to eat like humans.

The reason she chose to lie was simply because she wanted Chen Xiuming to feed her.

"it is good."

Chen Xiuming didn't think much of it and took the initiative to unwrap the hamburger for Yuexia Chuyong. Yuexia Chuyong took the opportunity to get closer to Chen Xiuming, leaning against him and biting the hamburger that was offered to her.

When she first tasted a hamburger, she was naturally amazed by the moonlit embrace, but this amazement couldn't compare to the joy of Chen Xiuming feeding her.

……

Moonlit Embrace is a "vampire"; only blood can satisfy her hunger.

Although they can eat human food normally, they do not feel full. At most, they will feel "bloated" when they are full, but they will still feel hungry when they are hungry.

Yuexia Chuyong ate very slowly, it was hard to tell whether she was savoring the taste of the food or enjoying the feeling of being fed by Chen Xiuming.
