Xia Yanle had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom with a wet towel. She leisurely found a clothes hanger and hung it on the balcony. The balcony of Bai Weiran's rented apartment was very narrow, only wide enough for a person to turn around in place, but it faced south and the sunlight was just right.
Yu Mengmeng sat in front of the workbook, following Xia Yanle with a watchful, wary, and angry look in her eyes.
As Xia Yanle put on her coat and walked toward the door, she immediately sprang to her feet like a cannonball, blocking the doorway with her arms outstretched, and loudly questioned her.
"What are you doing? Where are you going?"
"...Let's go for a walk." Xia Yanle didn't pay any attention to the little girl and turned to open the shoe cabinet to get shoes.
The little girl grabbed her wrist.
"No, you're not allowed to go out. You're not allowed to cause trouble for Bai Weiran."
Xia Yanle paused, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Yu Mengmeng with bright blue eyes.
"I just went out for a stroll, why did I cause him any trouble?"
If you come to a new world and stay cooped up in your room all day without exploring, wouldn't that be a waste of your trip?
With no research materials or anything at hand, Xia Yanle had no interest in spending the whole day in her room.
Yu Mengmeng, however, did not back down an inch.
She keenly sensed a carefree, arrogant, overly intelligent, and mischievous personality emanating from Xia Yanle, along with a hidden tendency to misbehave.
She didn't know why, but she subjectively felt it was dangerous.
The monster must be kept in a cage.
"If you want to go out, wait for Bai Weiran to come back," the little girl insisted, holding Xia Yanle's delicate hand tightly.
Xia Yanle stared at her for a long time, then raised an eyebrow and smiled.
That smile contained a kind of skeptical humor, which made Mengmeng feel breathless for a moment.
The mature woman lightly hooked the little girl's chin with her finger.
"So, are you Bai Weiran's kept canary?"
"…………!?"
"The little canary is so pitiful. She is beautiful but weak, and can only flap her wings at home."
Yu Mengmeng realized what was happening and immediately retorted sharply.
“Bai Weiran is not that kind of person. He didn’t lock me at home, and he encouraged me to go out more.”
In fact, Bai Weiran even left the card for her to use, saying that if she wanted, she could go out shopping or watch movies during the day.
It's just that Yu Mengmeng never touches that card.
Xia Yanle responded with an "oh".
"That means you just don't want to go out."
"You confine yourself to the home, displaying a weak 'I'm very obedient' attitude, using soft emotional blackmail to make him feel he can't ignore you, that he has to stay with you, comfort you, and care for you, right?"
Yu Mengmeng froze for a moment, and then let go of her little hand.
"You're talking nonsense... I, I didn't think that..."
Xia Yanle, like a hunter who has caught his prey, grabbed Yu Mengmeng's tender little wrist with his other hand.
“Great, that’s wonderful.”
"In that case, let's go out for a walk together!"
Xia Yanle doesn't actually like traveling in groups.
However, having arrived in a new world where she knew no one, she wasn't foolish enough to wander aimlessly alone. Luckily, the little girl delivered herself to her doorstep.
Bai Weiran is a cautious person. Since he encouraged her to go out, he wouldn't leave her without a penny.
Taking her out is the same as taking a wallet or a phone.
Yu Mengmeng's thoughts were a bit slow to process, and she was thus half-forced by Xia Yanle to go out.
Bai Weiran was working at the company when his phone popped up with a notification.
[Your bank card, last four digits: —, at X:X PM on X month X day, was used to purchase — yuan at Shenjiao Tiru Cake Shop.]
It was the bank card he had specially left for Yu Mengmeng.
Bai Weiran smiled, picked up his phone, and dialed Yu Mengmeng's number.
It took a while before the call was answered.
Yu Mengmeng gave a very soft and indistinct "hello".
His guilty conscience was evident in his words.
Bai Weiran laughed.
"Is the cake delicious?"
The little girl had a fork in her mouth, cream smeared on her lips, and looked at Xia Yanle across from her with a guilty, nervous, and reproachful gaze, as if she were an accomplice.
Xia Yujie ignored her, turned around and beckoned the waiter over, pointing to the menu and ordering a hot Earl Grey milk tea.
She didn't know what Earl Grey milk tea was, so she just clicked on things she didn't understand.
Having come to this other world for sightseeing, we can't leave empty-handed.
She thought the food was delicious and of a very high standard.
Yu Mengmeng was isolated and helpless. Even though the other party ordered the food first, she was just an accomplice who couldn't resist the temptation. Now she was caught red-handed.
"...Delicious..." she said, a little uneasy.
I'm afraid of getting a scolding, saying she's wasting money, that she's wasting it, or that she's wandering around aimlessly.
After all, Bai Weiran seems to value money a lot.
A soft chuckle came from the other end of the microphone.
"Eat more if you like it, and remember to pack some for me."
"Please treat our guests well, so others won't say we don't know how to behave, okay?"
The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, sparkling with life.
"it is good!"
Bai Weiran put down his phone, shook his head, and smiled.
Kids are happy when they go out to play or eat cake.
But she was happy, and her heart felt warm.
Yu Mengmeng was overjoyed, her heart pounding like a hundred birds.
[Hosting guests], [us] —
Bai Weiran's unintentional remark clearly distinguished the primary and secondary roles, positioning Xia Yanle as the "guest" and her and Bai Weiran as "us." This sense of unity made her feel extremely comfortable.
Xia Yanle sat opposite the little girl, watching her barely concealed smirk.
She picked up her Earl Grey milk tea, sipped it gently, and then felt a little bored.
She thought this masked man was different from the others.
In the end, he was all talk and no action, but in reality, he was no different from any other ordinary man.
He enjoys girls clinging to him, using this emotional dependence to prove his superior status, keeping an inexperienced young girl at home, like a little canary clinging to him.
Xia Yanle leaned against the table, lightly tapping a delicate chain bracelet on her wrist. It was a birthday gift she bought for herself last year. Gold seemed to be a precious metal in this world, and she had noticed this along the way. Jewelry stores all had businesses that recycled metals.
I wonder if the gold here is the same material as the gold she wears.
If so, then sell it.
I need to make sure I account for all the money I spent while I was here and return it to him cleanly.

The first day of the National Day holiday, monthly pass, I miss it!
Please help me, everyone! ヽ('▽`;)/?
There's another update today!!
Chapter 41 Mengmeng Can Do Better Than You (3K Views, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Bai Weiran is in a meeting.
Guoguo was on stage presenting a report to the whole group, explaining the plans and the research data sent by the marketing department. Bai Weiran had already seen the report beforehand and didn't want to listen to it again, so he looked down at his phone.
The brand-new, smooth body feels very unfamiliar to the touch.
This morning, Bai Weiran discovered a new problem.
The slash from the burned girl's machete not only destroyed the old cell phone, but also shattered the Disney phone case he had used for so long.
He hadn't noticed it before, but in the store, when he tried to remove his old phone case and put it on his new phone, the case fell apart in a spectacular fashion, splitting the big-headed rat in two.
A broken phone case wouldn't normally be a big deal, but it was a phone case that Shi Mo had specially bought for Bai Weiran during a high school teaching trip. He had cherished it and used it for a long time, and now he felt a little regretful.
He was holding his phone when another notification popped up.
[Your bank card, last four digits: ——, at ____ PM on ____ month ____ day, was used to purchase ____ yuan at The One clothing store.]
Are you shopping at a clothing store now?
Their afternoon itinerary can be fully understood from their spending records.
The first activity was eating cake, browsing bookstores, and having lunch at a dumpling restaurant. In the afternoon, we visited a MUJI store, and now we're browsing clothing stores.
This was probably the most exciting day for Yu Mengmeng since she came into this world.
It's true that girls need girls to be with them.
As Bai Weiran thought about it, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
Guoguo happened to see it and was stunned for a moment.
