“No, brother.” Mu Zimi thought for a moment, “but the nanny who opened the door for me said that breakfast was already prepared and asked me to call you to eat together.”
"Do I have a nanny? I don't remember doing that."
"You mean the one who makes breakfast..." Mu Zimi asked, puzzled. "Isn't cooking usually the job of the chef and the nanny?"
Is this common knowledge about the children of billionaires?
“She usually makes Chinese medicine steamed buns for breakfast. Don’t eat them, they can cause poisoning.” Cheng Cheng sighed, patted the girl on his lap, and gestured for her to get up. “Come on, I’ll take you downstairs to get something to eat.”
Mu Zimi was stunned for a moment, then obediently got off Cheng Cheng and lay on the bed in a certain position: "Is this how it should be?"
"...Where did you get this pose from?"
"Metis taught me."
“Metis, you rascal… never mind.”
Cheng Cheng got out of bed, washed up and brushed his teeth, helped Mu Zimi comb her hair, and then pulled her out of the room.
In the living room, as expected, her mother and sister were there. Seeing Cheng Cheng holding Mu Zimi's hand affectionately and naturally, Mu's mother's eyes instantly filled with relief, her eyes reddening as she said emotionally, "My child, you've finally become interested in girls other than Fu Ningna, Kurumi, Ayaka, and Colombia. All the Chinese medicine I gave you wasn't for nothing, sob sob..."
As she spoke, she even burst into tears.
The older sister, however, looked at him with disdain: "This kid... is he only in middle school? Do you know this is illegal? I'm going to call the State Grid!"
Cheng Cheng: "I was just about to introduce you to her classmate, a pretty handsome little boy. He's of mixed Chinese and British descent, grew up in London with his father, and comes from an old, wealthy family with centuries of aristocratic heritage. He only recently came to Dongshui City."
The older sister was overjoyed: "Really? Where? Where? Little brother, you're so good to me, waaaaah... If I were to marry a noble boy, I would definitely ask for a dowry of 888,000 and then give you 188,000 to marry a wife. I wouldn't even complain if you married an elementary school student, waaaah..."
"It's fake, I made it up on the spot." Cheng Cheng gave her a disdainful look. "And the kid I was talking about... is he only in middle school? Do you know that's illegal? I'm going to call the State Grid!"
Sister: "...So what? Can they be the same?"
Mu Zimi raised her little hand: "Brother, actually I've never been to school..."
Sister: "Hello, is this 110? This is Xingfu Community on XX Street. Yes, someone is bullying a preschool girl here..."
Cheng Cheng grabbed Mu Zimi and ran away quickly.
As they approached the entrance of the residential complex, Mu Zimi glanced back instinctively and asked curiously, "Brother, why do we have to live with other people? It's so strange not having a private garden and music room. I feel like I'll disturb others when I play music."
Is it already our home so quickly?
Unlike the cunning, aloof, and scheming Mu Zimi in the dream, or the taciturn Mu Jika, the real-life girl, though quiet, actively asks all sorts of questions. Pure and innocent, she is a pampered and sheltered rich young lady, completely unaware of the ways of the world.
Although she is very well-behaved and obedient, she lacks common sense, yet is so naive that it's hard to criticize her.
"Because it's lively living with many neighbors." Cheng Cheng thought for a moment, "Just like in a happy hotel, everyone living together is like family."
"Are all these people family? I don't want to talk to them..."
"No, that's not how it's understood."
"Isn't that right? I saw that the name of the community is Happiness Community, which means that everyone here often holds QQ parties."
Why would you think that?
“I’ve looked it up,” Mu Zimi said seriously. “In ancient times, the word ‘幸’ could be extended to mean other things. For example, when a king visited a concubine, it could be said as ‘帝幸之’ (the emperor visited her). For example, in the Records of the Grand Historian, in the section on the Empress Dowagers, it says: ‘On that day, Emperor Wu rose to change his clothes, and Zifu served him in the Shangyi Pavilion and was visited.’ Or there is the famous erotic painting ‘Emperor Xiling Visits Xiao Zhouhou’. ‘幸’ means to have sexual relations.”
"so……"
"In modern times, there's a tradition of using '福' (fu, meaning good fortune) to represent another character, so the meaning of happiness is..."
"No, stop talking."
I seriously suspect what kind of books Mu Yuan usually gives Mu Zimi. She has no common sense, but she knows a lot of strange and unusual knowledge.
With a sigh, he arrived at the entrance of the residential area. There were many breakfast shops here. Although Cheng Cheng rarely ate breakfast, he would still come down to eat a bowl of beef brisket noodle soup when his family's lunch consisted of Chinese herbal porridge, Chinese herbal soup, and Chinese herbal steamed buns.
The proprietress quickly brought over a large bowl of noodles, smiling as she asked, "Xiao Cheng, is this your cousin? She's so cute..."
"She's not my cousin, she's my younger sister!"
Mu Zimi pouted and angrily held up two fingers to make a cross.
"Okay, okay, a kiss is fine!" The proprietress smiled indulgently. "Xiao Cheng, your sister is so clingy..."
"Not a younger sister, but a wife!"
Cheng Cheng pouted and angrily held up two fingers to make a cross.
The proprietress: "???"
After putting down the noodles, the proprietress hesitated whether to call the police, fearing the loss of such a regular customer in the name of justice.
Cheng Cheng and Mu Zimi did not continue the topic, but instead looked at the beef brisket noodle soup in their bowls.
A steaming bowl of thick noodles soaked in a rich and fragrant beef bone broth, topped with plenty of beef brisket sauce and fried sauce, tender and chewy beef brisket and fatty pork belly, along with a large bowl of mung bean soup—enough to make anyone reading this late at night wonder what they did wrong to deserve this punishment.
Mu Zimi seemed to have a small appetite, so Cheng Cheng ordered the extra-large bowl version with extra toppings, and also ordered a small bowl, to share some with Mu Zimi.
Looking at the red oil-covered broth in the bowl, Mu Zimi immediately shrank back: "It looks so spicy... I want to eat cucumber salad."
"Eating only cucumbers every day will lead to malnutrition." Cheng Cheng gently rubbed the top of her head. "Don't worry, I ordered mild spicy. Try it, it's delicious."
Mu Zimi was half-believing and half-doubting, but she carefully picked up a strand of noodle and took a small bite.
"Phew~ It's so spicy..."
The moment it entered her mouth, a subtle spiciness touched her tongue, stimulating her to puff out her cheeks and exhale slowly. She subconsciously pursed her pink lips, but couldn't bear to spit out the noodles. The rich aroma of beef bone broth, the salty fragrance of meat sauce, and the aroma of noodles spread layer by layer in her mouth. The slightly spicy taste perfectly balanced the greasiness of the meat, and the more she chewed, the fresher it became.
His brows gradually relaxed, and he began to chew more attentively.
She lowered her head, slurping her noodles slowly, her long eyelashes drooping like two soft little fans, trembling gently, her fair face flushed with a faint blush from the steam.
The spiciness that I resisted just now has now transformed into an addictive savory flavor.
A bite of tender beef brisket, a bite of chewy noodles, and an occasional sip of sweet mung bean soup—it's all so addictive.
Cheng Cheng sat opposite her, gazing at her quietly, his eyes filled with unwavering doting affection.
In no time, she finished the small bowl of noodles.
Mu Zimi raised her wet eyes, gazing longingly at Cheng Cheng's large bowl of noodles. Cheng Cheng sighed, ordered another bowl, and his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket: "When a sudden downpour hits your sky? Is that me blowing up dark clouds for you?..."
He took out his phone, and sure enough, the caller ID showed Mu Yuan: "Cheng Cheng? Is Mu Zimi with you?"
Cheng Cheng brought the phone to his ear: "Yes, I'm here. Come out for breakfast with me."
Mu Yuan was silent for two seconds, then tentatively asked, "You didn't do anything strange to her, did you?"
"No...right?"
In other words, he entered her mind, fought with the Great Love Immortal Venerable, helped the personalities defeat Kasyapa Ruomu using the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger, and then watched all the personalities jump into the River of Reincarnation to be reborn.
Mu Yuan: "ε=('ο`*))) Sigh, I don't know what's wrong with this child today, suddenly wanting to escape her family of origin... I wonder what she has to escape from, she clearly has such a smart and beautiful older sister, and parents who love her so much. You don't know, relatives praise her to everyone they meet, saying, 'No wonder she's Senmina Nami's daughter,' 'No wonder she's Dr. Mu Yuan's sister'..."
I think the reason of being "Mori Nami's daughter" alone is enough to escape her family of origin. This time, they added an older sister too... tragic...
Cheng Cheng: "How did you know she was here with me?"
“I installed a GPS tracker,” Mu Yuan said matter-of-factly. “I saw her near your house. Did she cause you any trouble?”
Holy crap, there's a locator too?
That siscon!
After a pause, Mu Yuan changed the subject: "Don't misunderstand. You have no idea about Mu Zimi's identity. She is the ultimate secret weapon hidden by the Primordial God Cult, and she has an extremely terrifying personality hidden within her... Anyone who dares to upset her or touch her body at will will only have one fate—complete annihilation."
Mu Yuan: "Are you scared? If you are, hurry up and send her back. Don't cause trouble for yourself."
You really can just spout nonsense! Last time you made up about absorbing the souls of those around you, and now you're saying that touching her body will kill her... Just how afraid are you of what I might do to your sister?!
There's clearly not enough time to get anything done yet, is there?
Cheng Cheng: "There's nothing to be afraid of. There's no trouble between family members. My family all like Mu Zimi very much. She wants to stay with me for a few days, and I will take good care of her."
After a brief pause, he added a sentence that made Mu Yuan ecstatic: "In addition, I agree to join the Primal God Cult."
Previously, I was wary of the Primal God Cult in this world, partly because I was unfamiliar with it, and partly because I didn't know how strong they were.
It now seems that the Genshin Impact cult, capable of sealing a primordial demon, might be even stronger than Himegami from the game world. With Earth currently threatened by the Abyss and primordial demons, cooperating with the strongest force to save the world is indeed the right choice.
On the other end of the screen, Mu Yuan immediately became excited: "Really?! That's great! I'll submit your information right away and wait for the sect leader and the others to return... Then I'll trouble you to take care of Zi Mi for the next few days. I'll transfer your living expenses to you later. Take Mu Zi Mi out for some good food; she's very picky about her belongings. Also, remember to buy her a piano and a guitar; she loves those, so make sure they're good quality..."
The moment the message was sent, a transfer notification sounded on the phone, and a huge sum of 50 million yuan was instantly deposited into the account.
Wow, they're so rich...
Holding this huge sum of money, Cheng Cheng was unsure how to spend it.
At this moment, Mu Zimi wiped her mouth clean, raised her clear eyes to look at Cheng Cheng, and asked softly, "Is that your sister?"
Cheng Cheng put away his phone and reached out to ruffle her soft hair: "Yes, your sister told you to stay at your brother's house without worry, no one will rush you back."
Mu Zimi nodded obediently, a hint of joy appearing in her eyes, which quickly faded away.
She paused for a moment, then gently tugged at Cheng Cheng's sleeve, voicing a question that had been lingering in her heart for a long time:
"Brother, I've always been curious... how did you bypass the cult leader's seal and enter my mental space?"
The gentle smile on Cheng Cheng's face slowly faded, and a trace of solemnity and seriousness flashed in his eyes.
"Fate/stay night: Immortal Crown" is her biggest secret, but Mu Zimi's intimacy level is 50, which is almost the same as Freya's when she finished the witch trial. In theory, she can be trusted. If even lovers hide things from each other, life would be too lonely.
Moreover, the burden of bearing the secrets of both worlds entirely on his shoulders is far too heavy.
Cheng Cheng had always wanted to confide in someone and think things through together. He trusted Mu Yuan's intelligence, since she was called a doctor, but not enough to tell her this secret... But Mu Zimi could, and perhaps he could even hint at some information to Mu Yuan through Mu Zimi so that Mu Yuan could come up with the answer on his behalf.
Even without using Mu Zimi, when she was in the game for a long time, her real body still needed someone to take care of it—she had previously relied on the Witch Night Cycle and Witch C for help, but she couldn't just leave it to her unreliable older sister and mother now, could she?
What if they unplug the brain-computer interface while they are fighting the demon?
It just so happens that Mu Zimi will be staying at my house for a while, so I feel most at ease leaving this matter to her.
Thinking of this, Cheng Cheng lowered his eyes to look at the innocent and naive Mu Zimi in front of him, remained silent for a long time, and finally lowered his voice:
"What I'm about to say must never be told to anyone."
He paused, then finally revealed the truth: "Actually, I own a game that's tied to another world..."
