While Qiao Cen led Yu Mu Yun to examine the house, Luan Qing Xiao came to Nie Zhen'er's house to sign for the items she ordered and then scanned the iris to walk into Nie Zhen'er's house.



    On the day Nie Zhen’er agreed to Luan Qing Xiao's pursuit, she entered Luan Qing Xiao's information into the anti-theft door system.

    Even if Nie Zhen'er wasn’t at home, Luan Qing Xiao can also enter and leave at will.

    Nie Zhen'er had no secrets and she trusts Luan Qing Xiao, so she logged Luan Qing Xiao's information.

    Luan Qing Xiao spelled out Nie Zhen'er's name on the wall with shining fragments along with balloons that showed colorful halo-like transparent bubbles.

    After setting up the living room like a dream, Luan Qing Xiao began to prepare Nie Zhen'er's birthday cake.

    She bought Nie Zhen'er's favorite mango and strawberry.
Once she baked the cake base, she made a layer of fruit cream on the cake base and then began to spread the cream on the outside of the cake base.

    The snow-white cream slowly covered the yellowish cake base, as Luan Qing Xiao smoothed the cream with the spatula.

    Removing the stalks from the strawberries, she cut it into pieces.
Afterwards, she fluidly peeled, pitted and diced the mangoes.

    The red and yellow color, spread on the snow-white cake, was truly eye-catching and beautiful.

    Luan Qing Xiao took a photo and sent it to the Seizing Star group chat.

    Luan Qing Xiao: [Cake]

    Yu Mu Yun was the first to praise her.

    Yu Mu Yun: Wow! Boss! You didn’t make it yourself, did you?


    Luan Qing Xiao answered modestly: Time was urgent, I only watched the video once, but luckily it came out right.

    Yu Mu Yun: Boss just has a different attitude towards Sister-in-Law, I’m so envious.

     Right now, Yu Mu Yun was Luan Qing Xiao's number one flatterer.

    The other interstellar pirates in the group didn't understand at first, but after watching Luan Qing Xiao's and Yu Mu Yun's conversation, they immediately reacted.
They all came to flatter Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er.

    One praised Luan Qing Xiao for having strong hands-on ability.

    Another praised Nie Zhen’er for having good fortune.

    This side said Luan Qing Xiao was the best marriage partner in interstellar space.

    That side said Nie Zhen'er would become the happiest woman in the interstellar world.

    In order to flatter Luan Qing Xiao, the group chat simply turned into a messy porridge, praising everything and the exaggeration only became increasingly exaggerated.

    Luan Qing Xiao had to speak out to stop it.

    Luan Qing Xiao: Right now, Sister-in-Law is still not your Sister-in-Law yet.
When my confession succeeds, I’ll send you guys huge red envelopes

    This time, the group began to uniformly respond.
“Hoping Boss’ confession to success”.

    Luan Qing Xiao happily exited her optical brain chat interface.
Then, she packed the finished cake in an exquisite box and put it in the fridge for refrigeration.

    It was just twelve o'clock, more than five or six hours before Nie Zhen'er would return.



    Luan Qing Xiao didn't want to go home, so she casually cooked himself noodles at Nie Zhen'er's house.

    After eating, Luan Qing Xiao went to the kitchen and began to pack up the ingredients for the evening meal.

    When one is anticipating something, time always flies by slowly.

    Luan Qing Xiao basically spent the entire afternoon, counting every second.

    Half an hour before Nie Zhen'er got off work, Luan Qing Xiao started grilling the steaks.

    With everything ready, Luan Qing Xiao raised her wrist to glance at her optical brain.
In five minutes, Nie Zhen'er will take the spaceship back home.

    Luan Qing Xiao found a hidden place in the living room and waited for Nie Zhen'er to return.

    Once Nie Zhen'er heard about Luan Qing Xiao's illness from Yu Mu Yun in the morning, her heart was restless.
She would always involuntarily peer at her optical brain to see if Luan Qing Xiao had sent her a message.

    When running, there wasn’t.

    After breakfast, there wasn’t.

    When she arrived at school and started to work, there wasn’t.

    While Nie Zhen'er started thinking about going back to find Luan Qing Xiao during the lunch break, she finally received Luan Qing Xiao's message.

    Luan Qing Xiao said she was completely recovered now, so she didn't have to worry about her.


    Even after receiving Luan Qing Xiao's message, Nie Zhen'er didn’t completely relax.

    She always felt that the seemingly gentle Yu Mu Yun had an inexplicable bandit-like temperament.
What if Yu Mu Yun forced Luan Qing Xiao to send that text message to her?

    Nie Zhen'er knew her suspicions were unreasonable, but she just couldn't help thinking like this.

    After enduring a day at school, Nie Zhen'er hurriedly took the public spacecraft back home.

    Once Nie Zhen'er got off the spaceship, she went directly to Yu Mu Yun's house.

    Since it was her first time coming here, she rang the doorbell nervously.

    Contrary to Nie Zhen'er's expectations, it wasn’t Yu Mu Yun who came to open the door, but a man with military temperament.

    “My name is Nie Zhen'er and I live next door.
I'm here to find Qing Xiao.” In front of outsiders, Nie Zhen'er put on a cold hard shell.

    Qiao Cen was stunned.
He just realized he hadn't seen Luan Qing Xiao for an entire day, but Yu Mu Yun and him had been investigating the rooms.
It was normal for him to not see Luan Qing Xiao.

    At this time, Yu Mu Yun came over and asked him.
“Who’s here? Is there anything?”

    Qiao Cen shifted over, “A little girl, here to see Qing Xiao.
Is Qing Xiao in the room?”

    Yu Mu Yun said, “No, Qing Xiao went out for a walk, and hasn't come back yet.”

    When Yu Mu Yun walked to the door and saw Nie Zhen'er, his eyes flashed.
“It turns out it’s Zhen'er.
You’re here looking for Qing Xiao ah, Qing Xiao is not at home right now.
Why don't you go home first? When Qing Xiao comes back, I’ll let her go to your house to find you.”

    Nie Zhen'er looked inside the room through the gap in Yu Mu Yun's body, but saw nothing.



    Nie Zhen'er asked, “If Qing Xiao doesn't come find me at seven, can I come find her?”

    Yu Mu Yun smiled, “Yes.”

    Without seeing Luan Qing Xiao all day, Nie Zhen’er’s cold face couldn't smile.
She nodded, then turned and left.

    Qiao Cen found out that although Luan Qing Xiao and him lived under the same roof for more than ten days, apart from knowing she had transferred to X University for school, he didn't know anything about her.
“When did Qing Xiao become so familiar with the neighbor?”

    Yu Mu Yun closed the door and answered Qiao Cen, “I introduced them.
Nie Zhen'er works at X University, and Qing Xiao was able to transfer to X University because of her help.
In school, she also takes care of Qing Xiao.”

    Nie Zhen'er returned home, feeling down.
She walked into the door with her head lowered.
After changing into her slippers, she turned around the hallway to walk into the living room.
The moment she turned on the lamp in the living room, Nie Zhen'er was stunned when she raised her head.

    On the opposite wall, her name flickered under the light.
The transparent bubbles made a colorful halo, seeming like a dream.

    In the middle of the living room was the birthday cake Luan Qing Xiao made herself.
Nie Zhen’er walked over and the cake read, “Happy Birthday to my dear darling Zhen’er”.

    “Zhen'er, happy birthday.” Luan Qing Xiao whispered, hugging Nie Zhen'er from behind.
