Seeing the faint smile on Li Chaoge's face, Xier smiled and nodded in response.

The captain is so good to them. He always thinks about them, and even now that they are running out of money, he still tries to make their lives better.

She couldn't quite imagine what would have happened if they hadn't appeared. Would the captain have been deceived by that wicked woman, and would he have become despondent as a result?

"I should be thanking you."

Looking at Xi'er's obedient and well-behaved appearance, Li Chaoge couldn't help but want to pat Xi'er's little head again, but unfortunately, his hands were full of things, so he could only smile at Xi'er.

Despite spending a lot of money, even emptying his own savings, he was still very happy.

He must have used up all his luck to meet them; if he doesn't cherish them, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

Exusiai and the others smiled and did not refute. If Li Chaoge hadn't been so good to them, why would they care so much about him even though they knew he was a womanizer?

The only downside is that she's a bit of a flirt, but if you don't think too much about it, everyone can actually be good friends.

Of course, Hei hope doesn't agree with this view. She would still try to take the captain if she could, but she can't say it in the current atmosphere.

Seele, Lucia, Exusiai, and the Captain—there are four of them. She's all alone and has no say whatsoever.

The group quickly arrived at the front of their rented villa, changed into slippers at the door, and went inside.

"Commander, you all rest for a bit, I'll go cook."

Lucia and Seele put some of the ingredients that needed to be frozen or refrigerated into the refrigerator, and then took the rest of the ingredients they would need for the evening into the kitchen.

"Miss Lucia, let me help too."

Seele quickly followed Lucia inside and said to her.

"Xier, can you cook too?"

Lucia looked at Seele with some surprise. Among the people present, she knew the least about the others. Everyone else knew more or less about the people who had appeared in the group. Exusiai even frequently looked up information. Only Lucia rarely participated in the group chat.

"I know some, but my taste might be a little different from what the captain likes."

Seele looked slightly embarrassed, quickly glancing at Li Chaoge standing by the kitchen, and whispered to Lucia.

"Don't worry about me, Seele, I'll like everything you make."

Li Chaoge noticed Xi'er's gaze and smiled at the two of them.

Don't let Seele's delicate and easy-going appearance fool you; she's actually a Russian girl, albeit a Russian girl in Honkai Impact 3rd.

The dishes in the Russian region are mostly sweet, sour, and salty, oily, and strongly flavored. Although he prefers his own country's dishes, he feels it's normal that some flavors don't suit him. After all, they are a vast country with a wide variety of dishes, and not every dish is liked by everyone.

“Seele, you don’t need to call me Miss, just call me Lucia.” After understanding, Lucia gave Seele a faint smile and nodded, saying, “The Commander has a good relationship with you all, so we are comrades. There’s no need to be so polite.”

She didn't have a very good impression of Blackie and Lilith because she initially saw them attacking her commander. Although they later explained that they were arguing and were avoiding the commander, she still disliked their behavior of putting the commander in danger.

However, she had a good impression of Seele and Exusiai, especially the obedient and well-behaved Seele, who was happy to hear the Commander's orders and protect him.

Many people in the Hanging Gardens of Valor admire the Commander, such as Vera from the Cerberus Squad, Bianca from the Cleanup Force, Karenina from the Engineering Squad, Ella from the Art Association, and so on.

Of all those people, Lucia liked Liv, who was in the same squad, the most. Liv was gentle, understanding, and had a firm heart hidden beneath her slightly weak appearance. She was able to protect the commander very well.

She felt that Seele in front of her was very similar to Liv, and if Liv came over, she believed that Liv and Seele would become good friends.

"Yes! Sister Lucia, let's cook for the Captain together!"

Seele nodded emphatically, a sweet smile appearing on her delicate, fair face.

Actually, that's what she thought too. People who like the captain aren't bad people, and those who can love the captain gently are even better people!

After Exusiai showed Lucia some basic information, she felt a surge of affection for Lucia, who had once sacrificed herself for the captain.

"Sister? How old are you, Seele?"

Lucia was taken aback when she heard Seele call her "sister".

"Well... that's about a few months past the age of 10..."

Xi'er stiffened, glanced subtly at Li Chaoge behind her, and whispered.

This is a bit difficult to ask. She hasn't changed much over the years, and the captain probably doesn't even know how old she is. It would probably only be when Bronya comes that the captain will be surprised.

"I understand. Call me whatever you want."

Lucia nodded in realization. In fact, she had also served in the military for a long time, as had many other constructs. Constructs who survived on the battlefield were much older than their apparent age.

However, if we consider her conscious age, she is only a teenager, and indeed not necessarily older than Seele.

"They have such a good relationship. I wish everyone could get along so well."

Li Chaoge was very pleased to see the harmonious scene between them in the kitchen from the living room. Lucia Xier was indeed his precious darling.

It's a pity he can't see Lucia cooking for him now, dressed in her Scaled Dance outfit; Lucia's outfit is absolutely gorgeous.

"Commander, why don't you take a shower first? We'll take care of dinner. Please look forward to it!"

Noticing that Li Chaoge was still staring at them, Lucia turned to Li Chaoge and smiled.

"Captain, I left your clothes in the bedroom on the left on the second floor. I'll go get them for you."

Seeing that Li Chaoge was about to take a bath, Xier quickly said.

"No need, I'll go get it. Take your time, there's still plenty of time, no need to rush."

Li Chaoge looked at the two people busy in the kitchen, shook his head and smiled, then turned to find clothes.

With Xi'er watching over things from the side, it's not very useful for him to keep an eye on things. He can just come and watch when it's time to add the seasonings.

"Boss, do you want me to wash it for you?"

Seeing that Li Chaoge was about to take a shower, Exusiai followed behind him with a grin.

She's not good at cooking; she's content just waiting to eat. But she's quite bored these days, so she needs to find some fun before meals.

"Stop fooling around, everyone's here now."

Li Chaoge glanced at Hei hope, who had also followed him and was staring at him with a deep gaze, and speechlessly reached out to rub Exusiai's wine-red hair.

He didn't want a quick pre-meal meal; Lilith and Blackie were still causing trouble. If they sensed something was wrong and barged into the bathroom to give him a beating, he'd be finished.

Although he felt that Lilith and the others' desires were probably not very strong, they might cut off the root of his troubles if they got angry. In that case, he, who cared more about physical pleasure than they did, would have no happiness for the rest of his life.

"Hehe, then I'll go find you some clothes, boss."

Seeing that Li Chaoge didn't want her to go in with her, Exusiai rolled her eyes and immediately decided to help get the clothes.

"Don't worry about the clothes, the bathroom is in the room anyway. By the way, where's Lilith?"

Li Chaoge glanced around the living room and noticed that Meltlilith, who was supposed to stay at the villa, had not yet appeared.

Could he have run away alone? That would be too dangerous.

He wasn't worried about Meltlilith's comfort, but rather about those who had encountered her.

There are a lot of people who talk big these days, but they probably don't realize that while it might feel good in the moment, it can lead to disaster. Being insolent in front of Lilith could be seen as a provocation and they could be killed off immediately.

"Lilith, she's probably upstairs playing on her computer."

Exusiai casually remarked that when she and Seele brought the things over, they saw Meltlilith engrossed in the computer, and she immediately ran back to the computer after welcoming them in.

She sensed something was wrong, but after checking the information, she couldn't understand what Meltlilith's abilities were, so she could only pretend she didn't see it.

Anyway, it's not like Meltlilith is all-powerful now. With so many of them, why would they be afraid of Meltlilith alone?

Who knows, maybe tomorrow morning, or even in the middle of tonight, another, even more terrifying newcomer will appear.

She had no doubt about her PhD's ability to woo women; any pretty girl would probably be won over by him.

Does this villa have computers? How many are there?

Li Chaoge was a little puzzled. He hadn't seen the computer during his previous visit. Could it be that it was in some room and he hadn't noticed it?

"It seems like there are only five."

Exusiai casually replied that he didn't play with these things either, so she didn't care.

"You can play sometime when you have time."

Li Chaoge nodded happily. It seemed that he could not only play board games and other games with everyone here, but also play computer games.

He can play computer games with everyone when he has free time. Although his skills aren't great, he can still play with them.

"I'm going to take a shower now, Ah Neng, don't do anything reckless."

Li Chaoge glanced at Exusiai and Hei hope, gave Exusiai a warning for always watching the drama unfold, and then went to take a shower.

"Hehe, boss, don't worry~"

Exusiai chuckled and waved at Li Chaoge. The laughter sent chills down Li Chaoge's spine. Could this guy really be planning something? If Lilith found out after finishing her computer game, it would definitely be another disaster.

However, the bathroom door can be locked from the inside, so Exusiai shouldn't be able to get in without using force.

"Hey, do you want to come with me to find Lilith and play computer games? That stuff looks pretty interesting."

After Li Chaoge went to take a shower, Exusiai looked at the black-haired girl next to her and invited her.

She had never seen a computer in the Terra world of Arknights. Although she thought it was strange to sit at a table and play games while looking at a strange board, she could only try out this computer since she couldn't go into the kitchen or bathroom.

"If I go, I'll only end up arguing with her. You go by yourself."

Kuroki glanced at Exusiai and walked away.

Lilith and Exusiai playing computer games at a time like this? Ha, what an ignorant bunch. Looks like she's the better one.

"Okay, I'll go by myself."

Seeing that Hei hope didn't accept it, Exusiai shrugged and didn't take it to heart. She went upstairs to play with Meltlilith.

She could tell that Hei hope still didn't care about her, but she didn't care. As long as she was happy, why bother arguing?

Even if we really want to compete, it's pointless to compete now. Many more people will appear in the future, and only those who can beat everyone then will truly be considered powerful.

In the bathroom on the second floor.

Li Chaoge first wet his hair, then poured shampoo into his palm and slowly rubbed his hair under the showerhead to create lather, enjoying the hot water pouring down on his body.

Although washing his hair and showering at the same time is a bit wasteful of water, he quite likes this way of bathing.

He's from the South and has never taken a bath before. He already felt great being able to relax by showering in front of a showerhead.

After a while, Li Chaoge lowered his head and rinsed the foam off his hair with the showerhead, preparing to wash his body clean to end the day's fatigue.

He had just turned off the shower and before he could straighten up to get a towel from the side, a hand handed him a towel.

"Your towel."

"Oh, thank you."

When Li Chaoge saw the towel appear in front of him, he subconsciously took it and thanked him.

But the next second he realized what was happening and suddenly looked up at the other person who had appeared in the bathroom.

"Um?!"

"Hei hope, what are you doing here?!"

Li Chaoge stared in shock at the girl with short black and red hair, her arms crossed over her chest, and a cold expression.

He remembered locking the bathroom door from the inside, so how did Hei hope sneak into the bathroom without him noticing at all!

"Hehehe, my captain, it seems you know nothing about quantum mechanics."

Seeing the utterly shocked Li Chaoge, Hei Xi revealed a contemptuous smile, her slender jade feet stepping on the smooth ground as she slowly approached Li Chaoge.

"Um... Hei hope, calm down now. We'll eat soon, and we'll talk after we finish eating."

Li Chaoge looked at the slowly approaching Hei hope and had a bad feeling.

He and Kuroki have a very close relationship, but if they get intimate at this time, Lilith and Exusiai will definitely find out!

"I'm very calm. I told you before, you'd be in for a world of hurt tonight."

"They didn't even take my words to heart and dared to go out alone."

Hei hope rested his left hand on Li Chaoge's head and lifted Li Chaoge's chin with his right hand. Looking at Li Chaoge, who was afraid of being discovered by others, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and gently lick his rosy lips, revealing a wicked smile on his face.

"Prepare to accept your punishment, my captain~"

Chapter 34. Seele is Cooking

"Gurgle..."

Looking at the delicate face and scarlet eyes so close to his, Li Chaoge swallowed hard. He glanced down at the round, fragrant shoulder pressed against him and suddenly asked, "Hei hope, is flying like this also a quantum ability? Doesn't it get tiring?"
