"Cousin, don't worry, I'm fine."
Using her demonic power to forcibly evaporate the tear stains and snot on her face, Zhen Zhixuan rubbed the tip of her nose with her fingers and said with feigned strength, "I was just practicing squats with my hands behind my head."
"What was that mournful cry just now...?"
"Hahaha, that's just because I added 100,000 jin of weight to myself all at once, so I accidentally got a leg cramp. Cousin, there's absolutely no need to worry!"
"Thigh cramps?"
From an angle that Zhen Zhi couldn't see, Zhen Mi had already clenched her fist tightly.
This idiot actually interrupted my happy time reading the storybook because of a cramp in my thigh?
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Zhen Mi simply stopped pretending, rolled her eyes at Zhen Zhi, and said coldly, "Cousin, if you want to practice squats, you can go back to our flying boat to practice. Please don't make strange noises to attract my attention and disturb my reading of the storybook, okay?"
"Reading a storybook?" Completely oblivious to the impatience on Zhen Mi's face, Zhen Zhi was now completely absorbed in the fact that his cousin had taken the initiative to care about him.
So much so that he thought Zhen Mi's eye roll was just his cousin being coquettish.
"Cousin, speaking of storybooks, I actually also..."
After rummaging through his pockets, Zhen Zhixuan pulled out a stack of crumpled paper that would rub against your bottom even if used as toilet paper: "Cousin, I know you like reading storybooks. So I took advantage of a break from my cultivation to write one especially for you... Hmm, where are you, cousin?"
Seeing Zhen Mi walking back with her back to him, Zhen Zhi quickly followed.
The next second, his head slammed hard into the demonic energy barrier set up by Meiting.
"..."
Sensing the commotion behind her, Zhen Mi stopped and turned around impatiently: "Cousin, is there anything else?"
"Cousin, don't go yet!"
Zhen Zhi slapped the stack of crumpled papers onto the demonic energy shield and quickly explained, "I know you like reading storybooks, so I specially wrote one for you!"
"This……"
As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Although Zhen Mi's patience with Zhen Zhi had almost run out, she softened a little when she heard that he had even written a storybook to please her.
Even though Zhen Mi didn't expect her foolish cousin to write anything good, they were from the same place and would inevitably run into each other at Mirror Lake Manor. If she went too far, it would only create more awkwardness later.
Left with no other choice, Zhen Mi turned to Chen Yuze and Meiting with a pleading expression: "Fellow Daoist Yuze, and this sister, could you please let my cousin in for a moment?"
"no!"
Mei Ting immediately crossed her arms and rejected Zhen Mi.
"This guy was looking down on us just now, I'm not letting him in."
On the contrary, Chen Yuze not only didn't take advantage of Zhen Mi's misfortune, but even spoke well of her cousin:
"Alright, Meiting. Who are you and who are he? Just be magnanimous and don't hold a grudge against Zhen Zhi."
"You're quite generous."
Mei Ting shook her head at Chen Yuze, but in the end, she went along with Chen Yuze's wishes and made a hole in the protective shield just big enough for one person to pass through.
"cousin!"
Seeing that his cousin had actually lowered herself to ask those two country bumpkins for help so that he could go to her side, Zhen Zhi's heart was filled with even more gratitude.
After passing through the demonic energy shield, he glared fiercely at Chen Yuze.
Then, he immediately handed the stack of papers in his hand to Zhen Mi with a smile: "Cousin, take a look and see if the story I wrote suits your taste."
"Fine……"
Sighing as she looked at the draft of the storybook on the table not far away, Zhen Mi suppressed her impatience and glanced at the paper that Zhen Zhi handed her.
"The Diary of a Madman?"
Looking at the book title, which had a unique flavor, Zhen Mi had to admit that she was indeed intrigued.
However, right after turning the first page, Zhen Mi moved to Bengbu.
"The year of Xin Chou, the month of Geng Zi, the day of Ji Hai, the weather was sunny. My cousin wore a pair of embroidered shoes that I had never seen before, they were so beautiful!"
"In the year of Xin Chou, the month of Geng Zi, and the day of Xin Chou, the weather was sunny turning cloudy. My cousin glanced at me in the crowd today, and exclaimed, 'Wow, great!'"
"In the year of Xin Chou, the month of Geng Zi, and the day of Gui Mao, there was a torrential downpour. I stayed home all day; I wonder what my cousin did today?"
"In the year of Xin Chou, the month of Geng Zi, and the day of Bing Wu, the weather was cloudy turning overcast. Yesterday I dreamed that my cousin stepped on my face and kicked me twice, so I didn't wash my face after I got up today."
"..."
So this is really just a pure diary entry?
Unable to bear it any longer, Zhen Mi shoved the stack of waste paper, which was worse than toilet paper, back into Zhen Zhi's hands.
"Cousin, could you please stop insulting the word 'storybook'? Can you even look at the rubbish you've written? Get back to the flying boat right now! Now! Immediately! Right now!"
"This……"
Completely baffled as to why his cousin had suddenly become so angry, Zhen Zhi shrank back and carefully left the flying sword.
He really didn't dare disobey his cousin!
After Zhen Zhi left, Chen Yuze scratched his head with a strange expression, then came to Zhen Mi's side and asked softly, "Hey, Fairy Zhen Mi, your cousin seems to have a thing for you?"
"I know."
She sat back down in the rocking chair, huffing and puffing. After taking several deep breaths, Zhen Mi finally calmed herself down.
"You know that, yet you're still so cold to him?"
"Because I don't like him." Tilting her head, Zhen Mi said matter-of-factly to Chen Yuze, "Shouldn't you act a little indifferent when facing someone you don't like, so that he stops having any illusions?"
"You're right." Chen Yuze shrugged, which could be considered as agreeing with Zhen Mi's statement.
However, based on Chen Yuze's observation just now, Zhen Mi's cousin is clearly not the type who is very bright.
In other words, if you don't explicitly reject him, he will keep shamelessly sticking around.
Of course, these were other people's family matters, and Chen Yuze ultimately didn't say anything more.
However, just as Chen Yuze was about to turn and leave, Zhen Mi, who had picked up the draft of the storybook again, added with a serious expression:
"Furthermore, as I've said before, my ultimate dream in life is to marry Curry O. I won't give up on this dream until Curry O explicitly rejects me! Therefore, I will absolutely not accept any advances from anyone else!"
307. Sharp Tooth Building
Later that day.
As the sun gradually set, Chen Yuze stretched and slowly stood up from the rocking chair, then began to prepare dinner.
The girls, meanwhile, remained lounging in their rocking chairs, enjoying the beautiful sunset.
Only the foodie Luo Xin, after rubbing her hands together excitedly, ran to Chen Yuze's side:
"Mr. Meal Ticket, someone's here to help!"
"You're the most enthusiastic eater."
Amused, Chen Yuze watched Luo Xin, who always seemed to become full of energy at mealtimes. After thinking for a moment, he took the rice bucket out of his storage space.
"Then please wash the rice first, Luo Xin."
"Can I wash a little more rice then?"
Looking at the plump white rice grains in the rice bucket, Luo Xin couldn't help but chuckle to herself, "I love rice the most!"
"Okay, okay, Luo Xin can wash as much as she wants to eat."
Putting down the half-peeled potato in his hand, Chen Yuze couldn't resist and started to stroke Luo Xin's head.
Luo Xin closed her eyes, seemingly enjoying the gesture.
To be honest, even though she had been by Mr. Meal Ticket's side for a while, Luo Xin still occasionally had the illusion that it might all just be a dream.
After all, she had been sealed at the bottom of the lake on the summit of Changqing Mountain for far too long.
In addition, Luo Xin herself has lost a lot of memories, so she is actually very fragile and lonely inside.
Fortunately, it was Mr. Meal Ticket who woke her up.
Mr. Meal Ticket is not only a great cook, but also handsome and easy to talk to. Most importantly, he never complains that she eats too much.
As a result, when she was with Mr. Meal Ticket, Luo Xin always felt happy, at ease, and satisfied.
Although Mr. Meal Ticket's gaze would sometimes become very aggressive when he looked her over, as if he couldn't wait to put her in his mouth and savor her.
However, Luo Xin was not at all bothered by Mr. Meal Ticket's gaze.
Because when Luo Xin sees delicious food, she also shows the same expression as Mr. Meal Ticket.
In Luo Xin's eyes, Mr. Meal Ticket's aggressive gaze represented his high regard and affection for her.
"Mr. Meal Ticket, do you like her?" She raised her head and looked straight at Chen Yuze.
Although she used a question, Luo Xin's tone was remarkably calm.
It was as if she already knew Chen Yuze's answer.
"Of course I like it."
After rubbing Luo Xin's head, Chen Yuze gently stroked Luo Xin's chin with his fingers.
How could anyone not like a girl as well-behaved and beautiful as Luo Xin?
"Hehe, I like Mr. Meal Ticket too!"
With a clear, melodious laugh like a lark, Luo Xin continued as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "Since we like each other, how about I help you have little spiders?"
"..."
The fingers that were stroking Luo Xin's chin suddenly froze in place.
Looking at Luo Xin's incredibly pure face, Chen Yuze felt a strong sense of guilt welling up inside him.
If Luo Xin is likened to Natsuki, then Chen Yuze certainly wouldn't be like Takumi.
He'll just think of himself as that uncle who drives a Mercedes!
"Luo Xin, liking and loving are two different things." Feeling that this girl might not have distinguished between these two emotions, Chen Yuze simply peeled potatoes while explaining them to Luo Xin.
Before Chen Yuze could elaborate, Luo Xin had already taken over the conversation:
"They know these are two different things."
