"I want another bowl of rice and some more dishes!"
"I won't bother you anymore. I'll get more rice myself later. Please pass me the ladle when that happens."
The scene of sitting around the table, enjoying dinner, created a warm and harmonious atmosphere, as if the whole family was gathered together.
There was the family head (a certain unscrupulous person) who could hold the scene;
The wife (a certain sickly character) who claimed to be a virtuous wife despite being bad at cooking;
The eldest daughter (a certain M) who never troubled "mom";
And the willful youngest daughter (we all know who).
By promoting the current scene as an exemplary family, it would undoubtedly make for great material.
However, reality often hides behind seemingly harmonious environments.
At the same time Wang Xiaole returned to the hotel room, Holy Maiden also walked in, with the former thinking of locking the door at that time, but his reflexes were slower.
"Three women, one stage," and now all the "actors" on the "stage" were assembled, each starting their own performance.
Lucia's thoughts:
"I'm having a good time with beloved Enen**, what's the matter with you two fox spirits? Go back to your burrow! "
Here, it's important to understand Lucia's concept:
For her, any girl who gets too close to her loved one is a fox spirit.
Especially the newly emerged church person, seen as a conspirator by her.
Lucia thought:
I wondered why when I was doing psychological counseling, you insisted on making me play the vulnerable role;
It turns out it was to prevent me from getting angry at you tonight!
To be honest, if nothing happened during the consultation today, Lucia would not be polite to "fox spirit number two" right now;
The smile on her face is actually forced, and looking at it upside down reveals a somewhat creepy expression.
While Freya appeared to be only eating, her brain was still working.
When she heard the new friend she had met change the way she addressed Wang Xiaole, she knew that their relationship had changed somewhat.
This is a good start, and from now on, the Goddess of Rice Bugs will do her best to matchmake and find ways to bring their relationship further.
Holy Maiden's thoughts were more meticulous and her ideas simpler:
Don't offend either of them.
No matter how the other person behaves, maintain a smile!
Holy Maiden didn't like to cause trouble, even though she often did in her actions. As long as there was no need to confront the other person, she would maintain a humble attitude and get along peacefully.
The three girls represent different races, each with their own thoughts;
What Wang Xiaole needs to do is mediate the conflicts and make a lot of effort for this.
First:
All the dishes that are making the girls happy now were remade by Wang Xiaole after he returned to the hotel, enduring the fatigue of his body.
The food that Lucia had turned into "poison" had already been eaten by Wang Xiaole alone before the girls officially started their meal!
Perhaps because of this reason, his complexion has been off all along, not just because of the unexpected guests, but also due to this underlying factor.
But there's no choice, whenever it comes to this kind of situation, someone has to sacrifice in the end!
With the thought of "If I don't become cannon fodder, who will become cannon fodder?", Wang Xiaole willingly betrayed his own stomach in the end...
He had to do it.
First of all:
In terms of endurance, he had been eating cafeteria food for years with a stronger digestive system than others.
Secondly:
If Wang Xiaole refused to become cannon fodder and let Freya eat those foods, the goddess would suffer physically;
And no one wanted to waste the food that Lucia worked hard to make by pouring it down the drain, causing the demon lord to suffer mentally.
With himself and the two girls on opposite ends of the scale in his heart, after weighing it for a moment,
Wang Xiaole finally mustered up the courage to go against himself!
Because of his selflessness, Lucia gained more confidence in her cooking skills (better than feeling down);
The other two were fortunate enough to escape unscathed, turning the tragic outcome originating from the kitchen into a one-person tragedy.
Thanks to the hard, iron-like food, after finishing the cooking, his head completely collapsed onto the table, and the official explanation was that he didn't pay attention to chewing and ate too quickly.
"I say... if the lady is satisfied with my cooking, can you please obediently go back to your own place after finishing eating and sleep?"
Wang Xiaole lifted his heavy head, with his temporarily lifeless fish eyes, struggling to look towards where the Holy Maiden was.
Even if someone said that he would permanently close his eyes the next moment, even if such a statement was made, it was not entirely unreasonable.
"I'm afraid I can't go back, I have already made an arrangement with Lady Freya to spend the night where she lives."
This statement was a signal, it depended on how the teammates would cooperate afterwards.
"Huh, do we have such an arrangement between us?"
It seems that the cooperation of the teammates is not satisfactory.
At this critical moment, it was the "enemy" who unconsciously gave a push.
With a sharp sound, the sharp gaze pierced through like a knife, seemingly cutting, Lucia looked at Freya with a "gentle" expression.
Thanks to the intimidation of that gaze, a certain sluggish brain finally gave the correct response and hurriedly nodded in agreement with the previous lie:
"Yeah, yeah! We had an agreement between us, as a god, I can't go back on my word."
The "gentle" gaze immediately multiplied by two!
It goes without saying who threw out that familiar gaze for the second time.
Wang Xiaole was the one who willingly sold himself first, only to realize afterwards that he had been sold by his roommate who was living under the same roof earlier.
But it wasn't over yet, he still remembered the promise the Holy Maiden made before:
"Didn't you say, Lady, that you wouldn't bother me anymore tonight? Are you going back on your previous promise?"
"You must have misunderstood my meaning. I only said 'no more bothering', I didn't promise to definitely return to the church tonight."
"Are you saying that the so-called 'having a good night's sleep tonight'..."
"It's the same as the promise of 'no more bothering', both will be kept; tonight, please treat me as if I am invisible and don't concern yourself with me."
Being fooled, Wang Xiaole did understand one thing:
This seemingly simple girl is quite skilled in language traps!
"What about sleeping? This bed is already quite cramped for the three of us, it might collapse if you lie on it... I don't think the bed can handle it."
And it's not because of bed shaking causing the collapse.
"I won't be a bother to you, I've already figured out where I will sleep."
Holy Maiden stood up, pressing on her knees, and temporarily left the room.
Shake shake shake shake shake shake shake~~
With Lucia holding onto one corner of the table with one hand, it began to violently tremble, causing even the soup in the pots and bowls to create ripples.
It seems she has reached her limit!
During the time the door was open, Lucia stood up to close it, and as expected, Freya went to stop her, causing them to hold each other back.
At this moment, Wang Xiaole couldn't go and close the door. If he did it before Holy Maiden entered the room for the second time, there wouldn't be any issues.
But doing something like impatiently closing and locking the door while the girl was out of the room, was as immoral as locking a classmate in the bathroom.
Even though his moral standards may be questionable, he couldn't do such a thing.
Fate didn't give Lucia a chance to overcome the obstacle. Before long, the person she viewed as the second enemy returned, holding a rope in their hand.
"I borrowed this from the innkeeper. Originally, this rope is used to tie between two big trees on a sunny day."
"I know, it's a clothesline, right?"
Wang Xiaole had seen the scene of using a rope to hang clothes, so he immediately guessed its purpose.
"You're right, I will rely on this rope for my sleep tonight."
Facing her two roommates, Holy Maiden first bowed to apologize for the disturbance, then turned her right wrist and tossed the sturdy rope towards the ceiling.
The rope, with a leap, lost its momentum and fell downwards after reaching a height parallel to the ceiling, and before that it hooked onto the beam;
Using her right hand, Holy Maiden wrapped the rope a few times around the beam, tied a knot, and secured it on top.
This scene looked familiar, Wang Xiaole felt it was similar to the precursor steps of hanging oneself.
"I said I would be as inconspicuous as air, and I will definitely do it. I won't take up any space in the room when sleeping, just like this."
Holy Maiden pulled on one end of the rope, playing with it with both hands, tying a beautiful bow on herself, connecting her body to the beam.
Of course, it's not hanging the neck and rope on the same vertical line!
This practice is called "hanging", but she wasn't that desperate.
It's easy to understand that Holy Maiden tied the end of the rope to her waist, suspending herself in mid-air;
That silhouette flickered and flickered, casting a shadow in that dark area, looking like someone hanging in the room;
Not to mention Lucia and Freya, even Wang Xiaole felt a chilling sensation.
"I say, can't you come down? Don't turn this room into a crime scene."
"Are you bothered? I find it quite comfortable."
That's because you're a masochist!
After shouting this sentence in his heart, Wang Xiaole wiped away the sweat streaming down his forehead and gestured for the other person to quickly loosen the rope.
Anticipating the forthcoming question, Holy Maiden happily spoke the following words:
"Is this, your command?"
"Yes, it is my command. Do you hear me?"
"I will obey..."
She seemed unusually happy when given an order. She was truly an anomaly.
After removing the rope and putting it aside, Holy Maiden thought of something she should have remembered earlier:
"Don't call me 'Miss' or 'you' anymore, I have a name."
"Oh, what is your name?"
"Cai!"
"Cai as in rainbow?"
"Yes, just as you said. If you are the one, then this name was given to me by you in the past!"
