Knock, knock, knock—
One could only say that living nearby is convenient; Mu An only had to take a few more steps to knock on the door of another heroine.
Earlier, he had already used the "Appraisal Eye" to take a quick glance.
Liu Ziqian was not home; she probably hadn't gotten off work yet.
Su Zhirou and her mother were also not home; it seemed they had gone shopping.
And Chu Youmeng seemed to be on the phone with someone, her small feet clad in cute, fluffy pink bunny slippers, slowly making her way to the door.
"An Ge!"
Upon seeing the visitor through the electronic peephole, the girl immediately opened the door and, as usual, threw herself into the man's embrace.
She even rubbed her cheek affectionately against his chest, like a little kitten seeking her owner's hug.
The action was extremely familiar and natural; anyone who didn't know would think she had practiced it hundreds of times!
[Seeing you is already a very happy thing. The girl's little joy emotional fluctuation +18, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +3000]!]
"Who were you on the phone with?"
Mu An smiled as he wrapped his arms around Chu Youmeng's slender waist and casually asked.
The huge softness also changed shape against his chest.
Indeed, no matter how many times he felt it, he would marvel at the greatness of the girl's figure!
'Truly my treasure girl!'

"My sister and grandma."
Chu Youmeng answered without hesitation.
She adjusted her small hand and proudly presented her phone to Mu An.
On the other end of the video call was the long-missed Chu Youwei!
The background was the recently renovated house, and grandma was comfortably lounging in a rocking chair under a tree.
"An Ge!!"
Chu Youwei greeted excitedly.
[From the girl's excited emotional fluctuation +19, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +2 years]!]
Mu An also smiled and greeted her back.
"Youwei, long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful!"
No matter what they were about to discuss, complimenting each other upon meeting was definitely the right move, especially when facing a girl.
Moreover, this was not just a deliberate flattery from the man.
After getting rid of those vampire parents and with no financial worries at home, Chu Youwei, who had previously lacked nutrition, could finally eat well at every meal.
Additionally, with the health pills and spiritual fruits Mu An had given her earlier, Chu Youwei now looked radiant, her complexion restored, her skin fair and rosy, seemingly delicate enough to break with a touch.
Dressed in a suitable blue and white school uniform, she was like a youthful version of 'Number Two Chu Youmeng'!
If she were to go to university in the future, she would definitely be a strong contender for the title of campus beauty!
"Where... where is that? I'm just relying on An Ge and my sister's blessings..."
Hearing this, Chu Youwei's face immediately turned red, her toes unconsciously drawing circles on the ground.
But the slightly raised corners of her mouth still revealed her happiness at being complimented.
[From the girl's happy emotional fluctuation +19, congratulations, you have received the reward [Book: About How I Feel Incredibly Happy When Complimented by Someone I Like]!]
"How is grandma's health? Is everything okay at home?"
Mu An's big hand was playfully moving on Chu Youmeng's waist, yet his face still wore a serious expression.
He paid no mind to the girl's slightly dazed eyes in his embrace.
On the other end of the call, Chu Youwei did not notice anything unusual, mainly because the camera was slightly raised, making it hard for her to see Chu Youmeng's current expression.
"Mm! Everything is fine!"
"Grandma is eating well and feeling great; she hardly sits still all day."
"I feel like she has more energy than I do as a young person!"
As she spoke, Chu Youwei called out 'grandma' again.
And the grandma behind the camera waved her fan, as if to greet Mu An.
As for why she didn't greet Chu Youmeng?
Because they had already chatted with the girl for quite a while before Mu An arrived.
After that, Mu An chatted with Chu Youwei for a while longer and even exchanged contact information.
Not wanting to keep Gong Nanyan waiting too long, he decided to wrap things up.
"An Ge, after the exams, I will probably come to find you at the end of June!"
Chu Youwei's beautiful eyes sparkled with anticipation for the future.
She really wanted to rush over to Mu An as soon as the exams were over.
But considering she needed to help grandma with some farm work in the countryside, she had to suppress her strong impulse.
[The girl is full of expectations for the future, especially with some special thoughts about you, emotional fluctuation +25, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +25]!]
"Okay, we'll wait for you to come and play!"
Mu An smiled slightly.
Then, they bid each other farewell.
Chu Youwei reluctantly ended the video call.
Just as Mu An let out a sigh of relief, he heard a soft, sweet voice from the girl.
"An... An Ge... I want..."
Mu An looked over.
He saw that Chu Youmeng, under his earlier unintentional 'provocation', had her beautiful eyes filled with affection.
She seemed to have melted into a puddle of water, completely hanging on him.
Her tender face was flushed with a faint pink, just like the romantic sunset that painted the sky at dusk, stunningly beautiful.
This 'beautiful scene' almost made Mu An unable to contain his inner impulse, wishing to transform into a hungry wolf and pounce on this little lamb.
But unfortunately.
Now was not the time to consider that.
As a professional villain, how could he let his lower body control his brain?
So, the man, with great determination, averted his gaze, silently reciting a calming mantra in his heart.
"You know, Youbai and Sister Nanyan are waiting for us to have dinner! Do you need me to carry you over?"
"Ah? Ah!"
As soon as she heard the names 'Youbai' and 'Sister Nanyan', Chu Youmeng's beautiful eyes instinctively brightened up.
At the same time, she recalled her earlier bold and incredibly embarrassing words, causing her originally rosy cheeks to flush even more.
If it weren't for the fact that there were no books around, the girl might have already hidden herself in her usual 'sandcastle' made of books.
'So... so embarrassing!'
'Wuwuwu, I wonder if An Ge will think I'm a bad girl who is after his looks?'
'But... but I really want to give myself to him... um, if possible, I definitely want to have many, many children with An Ge!'
[From the girl's shy emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Book: I Am Willing To Do Anything For Him, Whether I Like It Or Not, After All, Who Made Me Like Him So Much]!]
[From the girl's super shy emotional fluctuation +25, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +25]!]
…..
This dinner naturally went incredibly smoothly.
The girl acted as if nothing had happened, playing normally with Youbai and chatting with Gong Nanyan from time to time.
Only when she occasionally met Mu An's teasing gaze would her little face involuntarily flush.
Of course, Mu An also had his own troubles.
For instance, whether to stay and discuss the specifics of buying a piano with Gong Nanyan or to go to Chu Youmeng's house to plan for welcoming her sister at the end of June.
In the end, as a mature villain, Mu An naturally chose... both!
