"Damn! Big Brother, you're ruthless!"

A day of gaming had basically drained all of Zhen Po's energy.

Although the game pod had replenished him with nutrient solution beforehand, the empty feeling in his stomach when he opened his eyes still made him decide to come to the cafeteria for food in the middle of the night.

That was one good thing about the Central Military Academy: it was open all day.

Zhen Hu, who had come out more than an hour earlier than him, had first washed his hair and taken a shower. Originally, he hadn't planned on coming out for a late-night snack, but he had been dragged over by his younger twin brother.

While eating the late-night snack, he naturally didn't forget to ask Zhen Hu how he had successfully passed the level. As it turned out, Zhen Hu had exchanged his own life for it.

"Ruthless?"

Zhen Hu raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhen Po, seeing that the other person was looking at him as if he had seen a ghost. Zhen Hu then asked him in return, "What wish did you make? Why didn't you succeed?"

At this question, Zhen Po immediately became like a defeated rooster, stuffing the meat on his plate into his mouth, humming and hawing for a long time without being embarrassed to explain to his twin brother.

He couldn't exactly say that his character's greatest ambition had been to eliminate all the demons and monsters in the world, could he?

He could only blame himself for being blinded by beauty. At the last moment, he hadn't actually said it, but instead wished that the other party could only do good things and not harm lives.

Speaking of which, the Boss of this instance was quite gentle, wasn't she? She had only glanced at him coldly, and then, through layers of gauze curtains, told him to get lost, but she hadn't taken his life.

Thinking this, he finally explained the matter to Zhen Hu in a low voice. As a result, Zhen Hu, who was drinking fruit milk, almost sprayed a mouthful of it directly on his younger brother's face.

"Pfft, cough cough cough cough! You you you..."

Zhen Hu was so angry that he couldn't say anything for a long time. Remembering that the other party had only bought a cola chicken wing box lunch, he asked another question, "Then tell me, what's the use of you buying this box lunch? Have you subdued any demons? If I were you, I'd eat this meal and then be tough and directly start a war with the fox fairy."

"But she's so pretty!"

Zhen Hu: "..."

Compared to these two who got up in the middle of the night for a late-night snack, it was rare for someone like Ming Mei to accompany Lu Xiaoyao to the psychological counseling room so late at night.

What made her even more speechless was, was it really okay for her Ruan Ruan uncle to be staying here this late at night?

Was this considered overtime?

Didn't her uncle say he was coming here to relax for a while, as a vacation?

Vacation = overtime these days?

Were workers so competitive?!

Ming Mei sat in the waiting area, reining in her thoughts, and took the time to use her optic computer to cram middle school knowledge, especially physics!

Why was she so miserable?

As she was thinking, Ming Mei tapped her finger on the empty coffee table, her gaze turned to the door of the consulting room. Lowering her eyes, she wondered if she should go to the cafeteria to buy something to bring back and continue waiting?

Just waiting like this was a bit boring, and also a bit hungry.

Just as Ming Mei was about to get up, the door of the consulting room opened, and Ruan Xun adjusted his slender silver-rimmed glasses, smiling gently as he sent Lu Xiaoyao out.

Ming Mei saw Lu Xiaoyao standing next to her uncle, the way she was dazedly staring at her uncle's face like a lovesick fool, and instantly didn't know what to say.

She was clearly notified to come for psychological counseling, but why did she look like she had entered a nightclub and been tricked by the top gigolo?

"Aiya, Mei Mei, have you been waiting long? Are you hungry? I had someone bring some food over, let's eat it before we go back~"

Ruan Xun naturally noticed that Ming Mei had accompanied Lu Xiaoyao today, but he hadn't said anything earlier. It wasn't until Lu Xiaoyao's visit was over that he said it.

"Huh? You guys know each other?"

It was at this time that Lu Xiaoyao realized that Ming Mei knew the Ruan doctor in front of her.

"Yes, I'm Mei Mei's uncle."

"Uncle!" Lu Xiaoyao exclaimed, her gaze darting back and forth between Ming Mei and Ruan Xun, and said, "No wonder you're both so good-looking! So you're family."

Ming Mei: ???

Where did you learn your biological genetics?

Is being family just about looks?

"Pfft~"

Clearly, Ruan Xun was amused by Lu Xiaoyao's words, nodding in agreement as he said, "That's right~ We are indeed family."

At this, taking advantage of the slight reflection of his glasses under the light, Ruan Xun's gaze fell on Lu Xiaoyao again.

If Ming Mei had seen that probing, playful look, she would have grabbed Lu Xiaoyao's hand and said, "Danger! Run!"

"Sorry, I'm late."

As the three were talking, another familiar voice came from the doorway.

Ming Mei looked up and saw Mu Chen walking in. He glanced at Ming Mei, nodded slightly, and quickly turned his gaze to Ruan Xun, saying, "Dr. Ruan, the cafeteria's late-night menu today is all light food. I heard that you like pastries, so I brought some of the ones I made with me."

"He makes them super delicious!"

Lu Xiaoyao was fortunate enough to have been fed a small piece of pastry from Mu Chen by Ming Mei during a break once, and she instantly became a devoted fan of Mu Chen's cooking.

Although Mu Chen didn't really want such a devoted fan, and thought that Lu Xiaoyao was mostly an eyesore, but today, in view of her saying good things about him, Mu Chen didn't mind if Lu Xiaoyao could eat two pieces of pastry.

Just two pieces!

"Is that so? Then I'm in for a treat~"

Ruan Xun smiled playfully, sizing up Mu Chen for a long time, as if admiring some exquisite object, and hooked the corners of his lips, "When the previous doctor recommended you as my assistant, I was a little worried that you would be very busy."

"No, it's my honor to be able to help here and learn something."

"That's good. With your help during this time, I will be very relaxed. When a person is relaxed, their body and mind are very happy~"

Hearing this, Mu Chen also revealed an inscrutable smile: "It's my honor to give Dr. Ruan a pleasant life here~"

Ming Mei felt that these two were just going back and forth with each other, not treating her and Lu Xiaoyao as outsiders at all~

Did they think the two of them couldn't understand?

Ming Mei admitted that she wasn't that she didn't understand, she just didn't want to know too much.

A smart person doesn't want to make things difficult for themselves~

And Ming Mei glanced at Lu Xiaoyao, only to see her gaze fixed on Mu Chen's spatial ring, the place where the pastries were stored.

Ming Mei: "..."

Regarding the question of whether Lu Xiaoyao was wise beyond her years, Ming Mei felt that she didn't need to say it.

Those who understood, understood.

"Alright, alright, it's almost dawn, let's eat some late-night snacks and everyone can go back to rest~"

Ruan Xun, who had secretly reached some kind of agreement with Mu Chen, smiled with narrowed eyes. The four of them sat in the tea room of the psychological counseling center, enjoying the food that Mu Chen had bought.

Of course, the pastries he made were indeed good, this point even Ruan Xun couldn't deny.

However, in the gap between drinking her sugar water, Ming Mei looked up at Mu Chen, who was sitting with Ruan Xun, and she suddenly realized that Mu Chen and her uncle were both squinting their eyes as they ate their pastries and chatted.

Ming Mei shuddered suddenly.

Help!

Had Mu Chen turned bad?

Her uncle's squinty eyes didn't look like a good person at all!

Ming Mei nervously stuffed another piece of pastry into her mouth to calm her nerves, then she thought, it seemed that Mu Chen wasn't a good person to begin with, was he?
