"Actually, Zixiao and I aren't really husband and wife.”Sitting back in her chair, Meixi slowly said,"This marriage on the surface is just a transaction.”
Deal?
This word made Moonless 'eyebrows jump.
He instinctively felt that there was definitely more to this than meets the eye. He didn't like to meddle in other people's business, so he didn't want to listen anymore. However, he was helpless. Meixi seemed to be getting more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, as if she was going to reveal all her secrets.
"For some reason, I need a relatively stable place to stay. Zi Xiao also hoped that someone would take good care of her daughter. After that, I moved here as his second wife. Of course, my surname and age are all fake.”
Hey, hey, is it really okay to tell me this kind of thing?!
Moonless already had a very bad premonition.
He could already sense trouble from Meixi's words.
If she was just an ordinary woman, why would she use such a method to make a deal? Why didn't he dare to reveal his real name and age?
Moreover, the reputation and strength of Mitarai Saki in the village were similar to that of her adoptive father. Even though she could not compare to the "Kinoba Sanin", she was still far above the level of ordinary Jounin.
Such an existence actually had to secretly touch him and help Meixi hide her identity. How could he be an ordinary person? It was self-evident what kind of trouble it would be to get entangled with such a fellow.
However, since things had already come to this, it was useless to complain. Sighing deeply, Moonless said,""What about now? Uncle Zixiao has already passed away. Do you still plan to stay here?”
"Why not?" Meixi blinked in confusion and smiled."I know that you will protect me.”
Don't be like this, I'm under a lot of pressure!
Cold sweat dripped down Moonless 'forehead.
Not to mention that his current strength was at most an elite Genin. Was it a mistake to entrust her safety to a seven-year-old child?!
" Well, Aunt Meixi..." Moonless felt that she needed to have a good talk with her.
"Why are you still calling me auntie?" Meixi rolled her eyes at him and said,"From now on, call me sister."”
Uh.
Moonless was stunned. The words that he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
"What do you want to say? Sit down first.”Meixi smiled.
"Alright then." Moonless nodded. He looked around but did not find a second chair in the study. This made him a little confused. Where should he sit?
"Idiot!" Meixi scolded him softly, then patted her own leg. "Come here, sit here."
Sweat.
A few black lines appeared on Moonless 'forehead again. "This, isn't that good."
"What's not good about it?" Meixi stood up and grabbed his wrist, pulling him into her arms. "My full name is Tsugawa Miyuki. Please take care of me in the future."
"Alright, alright."
The soft touch on her cheek made Moonless nod subconsciously. Then, he suddenly reacted. Wait, wait... What was this introduction that seemed like a lifelong commitment?!
I'm only seven years old. Can you really do it?!
"Hey, Moonless Lord. What did you want to say just now?"
" Ah, actually..." Moonless was about to open her mouth to ask him not to pin his hopes on him alone. However, at this moment, a certain system notification sounded again.
Make your choice, dear host.
First, announce loudly that Meixi's pie is mine and will not be given to anyone else.
Second, firmly say,"I will protect your fatness in the future."
Third, ask gently,"Are you ready to have our child?"
Puff.
Moonless almost spat out a mouthful of salted soda. No matter what, I'm definitely going to get involved in this mess, right? Forget it, I'm starting to get used to your lack of moral integrity.
Shaking her head in despair, Moonless looked at Meixi. He hesitated for a moment, then his eyes became firm again. "You, your fatty…from now on, I will protect him.”
Ah, no! As expected, it was so embarrassing!
After saying this, Moonless was like an ostrich, burying herself in Meixi's arms.
At this moment, the two of them were hugging each other in a very strange position. They didn't look like siblings, nor did they look like lovers. Well, seriously speaking, they were like a mother and son.
Meixi did not seem to realize this and just looked at Moonless with some doubt. "Fat, fat?"
"Oh, I'm just casually saying. Don't take it seriously.”Moonless was so shy that she didn't dare to stick her head out. She stuck her head out and her mouth on Meixi's clothes.
"Is that so?" "Moonless, you've become really bold." Meixi said in an inexplicable tone. No wonder Red is so troubled."
"I'm sorry!" Moonless did not refute or explain.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the selection. The reward is a high-level sword talent. Obtained intermediate sword technique, Juhe Slash."
The reward this time was very unusual. Not only did it have a skill, but it also came with a talent. In a sense, it was a big gift.
Even Moonless, who had been tricked, could not help but look forward to it. Just how strong was his talent in swordsmanship, coupled with the addition of his skills?
"You don't have to apologize to me." Meixi's voice pulled Moonless back. "Today's collection of materials was very successful. I have to thank you.”
"Take, take materials?" Moonless looked at the other party in confusion.
"Ah, Moonless Lord, don't tell me you really think she'll accept your confession.”Meixi blinked and smiled." You're too young now. When you're a little older, I might really be tempted."”
"I'm not wondering about this!" Moonless 'mouth twitched and she complained," What do you mean by drawing materials?”
"Oh, it's my new book." Meixi took out a stack of manuscripts from her desk and waved them in her hand.
Hiss.
Seeing the name of the manuscript, Moonless couldn't help but gasp. On the cover was written," The story that I have to tell to the boy next door."
