"Serves you right."

Gu Yuqiu glanced at her, somewhat surprised.

Su Yan calmly said, "I am a human being, of course I will have my own preferences. More importantly, I am close to you, so it is only natural for me to favor you."

Gu Yuqiu smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, you won't have to do this anymore."

Su Yan remained silent.

Gu Yuqiu turned around, poured the cooked porridge into a bowl, and said, "Let's eat together."

Su Yan glanced around the kitchen and asked, puzzled, "Is there only porridge?"

"I'm lazy."

Gu Yuqiu's tone was very natural, almost the same as when she was chatting with Lin Mushi.

Su Yan suddenly thought of something, her gaze falling on the girl's hands, and said seriously, "From now on, remember to keep your nails neat, otherwise I'll hit you if I feel uncomfortable."

Gu Yuqiu understood her meaning and asked curiously, "Have you been planning to make a move against me all along?"

Yes, Su Yan's nails were very neatly manicured, clean and beautiful.

In certain situations, this person is indeed more suitable than her.

Su Yan thought to herself, what kind of nonsense was this? She picked up the bowl of porridge, placed it on the island counter next to her, and took a spoonful.

Gu Yuqiu said, "So you really do care about me."

Her tone carried a hint of mockery, but more so a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion) and self-deprecation.

Because she really hadn't thought about those things.

What's even more interesting is that she never expected that after she killed so many people and became a god, there would still be people who really remembered her and couldn't forget her until last night.

"This porridge tastes quite good."

Su Yan glared at her, then abruptly changed the subject, saying, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "I made this especially for you. I've already eaten my fill."

Su Yan frowned slightly and said, "You woke me up, and you didn't even wait for me to have breakfast together. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"But……"

Gu Yuqiu blinked and said innocently, "I ate you until I was full."

……

……

Time passed slowly, the sunlight never broke through the dark clouds, and the snow line on the window fell more slowly.

After breakfast, they had been chatting for a long time. The two sat on the sofa side by side, and after a long silence, they remembered something.

Or rather, it's a cat.

"Won't the pine nut be angry?"

Su Yan looked at Gu Yuqiu and saw her dial Shen Hong's number. After thinking for a moment, she said, "But it should be fine. Things don't happen more than three times. This is only the second time."

Gu Yuqiu glanced at her sideways and said, "It's all because of you..."

Before I could finish speaking, the call was answered.

Shen Muchan's voice came through the microphone, revealing no emotion; it was very calm.

It was completely different from what she said.

"Looks like you're upset that Songtang and I can't get any snow outside."

Gu Yuqiu casually said, "There's still a lot of snow outside. Let Songtang come back on her own. You can eat your fill by yourself."

Shen Muchan was visibly stunned for a moment, then could no longer maintain her composure, and said in a slightly cold voice, "I took care of your cat all night, and this is how you talk to me?"

"First of all, Pine Candy doesn't need your care."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Secondly, I never told Songtang not to come back; you insisted on taking it with you."

Hearing this, Su Yan glanced at her, her meaning clear.

—Don't think I would have agreed to let that white cat stay last night.

Gu Yuqiu knew that Shen Muchan didn't really like pine nut candy, so she asked, "So, are you still coming?"

Shen Muchan asked, "Come here?"

"Our deal is over."

Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "You are no longer my maid, and this place is no longer a place for you. Coming here is more suitable than coming back."

There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time.

Just when she thought she was about to be hung up, the phone rang again.

"Then I'll come and be your guest."

Shen Muchan asked, "Are you welcome?"

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Then the call was hung up.

She looked at Su Yan and asked, "What are we eating later?"

Su Yan thought to herself, "If you two start fighting, nothing will taste good," and said, "Shall we go out and find something to eat?"

Gu Yuqiu asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Su Yan shook her head and said, "Since we have guests coming, of course we should decide what they want to eat. How can I make that decision? There's something wrong with you."

Gu Yuqiu thought about it for a while and realized that this was indeed the case.

She suddenly stood up and walked to the side again.

Su Yan looked at her with great confusion and asked, "What are you going to do now?"

"Make a cup of coffee."

Gu Yuqiu said, "She hasn't slept all night, I need to help her stay awake so she won't sleep tonight either."

Su Yan was speechless, thinking to herself, "Why are you still the same?"

……

……

When Shen Muchan became a guest, with the white cat perched on her shoulder, she pushed open the balcony door and was greeted by a cup of steaming coffee.

The timing was perfect.

Gu Yuqiu handed over the coffee, noticing the lingering dampness in the girl's hair, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The balcony door was still open.

The building was too high up, and the already biting cold wind became even more aggressive, quickly dispersing the steam rising from the coffee and ruffling the clothes.

Shen Muchan said expressionlessly, "No need."

As she spoke, she took the cup of coffee, while Songtang jumped onto Gu Yuqiu's shoulder and snuggled closer to him, her body exposed to the elements all night.

Gu Yuqiu pretended not to notice, letting her face be rubbed against him, and said as she closed the balcony door, "Sit down."

"I have something to talk to you about."

Shen Muchan spoke softly as she returned to her seat, glancing at Su Yan midway through.

Only then did Gu Yuqiu grab Songtang by the neck and throw it into her cat bed.

It was something Lin Mushi bought many days ago, but it had been unwilling to go to sleep, and now it just so happens to be useful.

Shen Muchan watched this scene, her expression turning slightly cold, but she said nothing.

"You can say that."

Gu Yuqiu looked at her, noticed her expression, and said, "But it's almost lunchtime now, why don't we eat first and then talk?"

Shen Muchan remained silent.

Gu Yuqiu said, "And I also need your help with something."

Shen Muchan glanced at Su Yan again and said, "So, I can actually help you?"

"of course."

Gu Yuqiu said sincerely, "Actually, you are very important to me, at least these days."

Shen Muchan knew very well what kind of person she was. She never cared whether she was lying or not. She seemed extremely arrogant, but in fact, she had no pride of a strong person. Using any means necessary was commonplace for her.

"You do not believe?"

Gu Yuqiu sighed and said, "There are many people in this world who misunderstand me deeply, but I think you are different."

Shen Muchan looked into her eyes and said with a sneer, "Reason?"

"It's very simple."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Because you are qualified to be my opponent, you can truly understand me, instead of just echoing what others say and having prejudice against me, thinking that I am a madman who only knows how to kill."

Shen Muchan was silent for a moment, then said, "What do you want me to do?"

Hearing this question, Gu Yuqiu was very happy. She pointed towards the dining table and said in a very pleasant tone, "I ate too much for supper last night, as you know. I don't know how to clean up this kind of thing, so it's perfect that you..."

Unfortunately, he didn't finish his sentence.

Shen Muchan interrupted her, her eyes widening in disbelief, and said, "Do you mean you want me to clear the table for you and wash the dishes?"

Gu Yuqiu naturally hummed in agreement.

Songtang, crouching in the cat's bed, thought to herself, "This is just too outrageous!"

Even Su Yan felt that this was a bit too much.

However, neither the person nor the cat could have imagined that after a long silence, Shen Muchan would hum in agreement, accepting what was tantamount to humiliation.

"Then it's my turn to speak."

She took a sip of her coffee and found it had gone cold; her tone seemed to cool down as well.
