"My goddess boss Luo, shall we meet up after Guangya High's anniversary celebration the day after tomorrow?"
"Sure, you're returning from the capital tomorrow, right?"
"Oh, by the way, I heard you remarried?"
"A pair of siblings? So envious—makes me want to find a husband too~~~"
In a high-end villa, the interior was lavishly decorated yet undeniably cozy.
On the sofa,
Xu Shasha lounged in a sleek silk nightgown, casually draping her long, slender legs over the armrest.
The fabric clung to her curves like flowing water, accentuating her breathtaking beauty and alluring charm.
She looked utterly relaxed.
After hanging up, she glanced at her phone—5:52 PM.
Her precious one should have been home by now.
With a tap of her slender fingers, she sent a message:
【Xu Shasha: Sweetie, when are you coming home?~~】
The reply came almost instantly.
【Shen Yue: Mommy, I got held back to decorate the classroom. I’ll be home soon. (kitten smiling).jpg】
【Xu Shasha: Ah, makes sense with the anniversary coming up. Be safe on your way back!~~~】
【Shen Yue: Got it! (kitten nodding).jpg】
With nothing better to do, Xu Shasha idly scrolled through her phone, her gaze flickering toward the entrance as she waited for her daughter.
Before long,
Shen Yue strode into the villa, her backpack slung over one shoulder, her steps light and cheerful.
The moment she saw her, Xu Shasha rushed over, planting a firm kiss on Shen Yue’s cheek while cooing, "Oh, I missed you so much, my darling~~"
"Mommy, I missed you too," Shen Yue replied with a sweet smile.
"My baby smells so good—let Mommy take it all in."
Like a child obsessed with candy, Xu Shasha clung to Shen Yue, showering her with affection before finally turning to the nanny standing nearby. "Nanny Zhao, dinner can be served now."
"Understood."
Nanny Zhao nodded and headed straight for the kitchen.
Soon, a spread of delicious dishes was arranged neatly on the dining table.
The rich aroma instantly filled the room, whetting everyone’s appetite.
With practiced ease, Nanny Zhao served rice and carefully poured soup for the mother and daughter before taking her own seat.
"Sweetie, eat up," Xu Shasha said adoringly, placing a glistening chicken wing into Shen Yue’s bowl.
Then, to Nanny Zhao, who sat primly beside them, she added, "Nanny Zhao, you should eat too."
"Of course." Only then did Nanny Zhao pick up her chopsticks.
"Thanks, Mommy." Shen Yue reciprocated by placing a chicken wing in Xu Shasha’s bowl.
And so, their unconventional little family of three enjoyed a warm dinner together.
Xu Shasha paid no mind to the rule of "no talking during meals," chattering away as she asked Shen Yue about school, whether she was happy, and if she had enough snacks.
Shen Yue deftly sidestepped each question.
She couldn’t exactly admit she’d taken on a "godson" at school, could she?
How mortifying!
By the end of the meal, Shen Yue had only eaten half a bowl of rice before setting down her chopsticks. Dabbing her lips with a napkin, she hesitantly said,
"Mommy, I’m done."
"Huh?..." Xu Shasha froze mid-bite, her face a picture of disbelief.
Her fox-like eyes, usually so captivating, widened in shock as she asked, "Sweetie, what did you just say?"
"Mommy... I said... I’m done eating..." Shen Yue repeated timidly.
The confirmation made Xu Shasha drop her chopsticks immediately. Her expression turned stern, brows furrowing as she demanded,
"Sweetie, is someone bullying you at school?"
In that moment, her entire demeanor shifted.
"No, no!"
Realizing her mother had misunderstood, Shen Yue waved her hands frantically but struggled to explain.
Her cheeks flushed as she lowered her head and mumbled, "I... I just want to lose a little weight..."
Relieved but still serious, Xu Shasha sighed. "Sweetie, skipping meals isn’t sustainable. If you get hungry, at least have some snacks."
"Don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll head to my room now."
With that, Shen Yue hurried upstairs.
Once in her bedroom, she immediately pulled out her phone and opened a video.
In it, Gu Luo smiled warmly as she fed him.
Watching it, the gnawing fear of hunger in her chest slowly eased.
It really worked!
Overjoyed, Shen Yue wanted to share the good news with Gu Luo right away.
But then, the memory of him scrolling through pictures of a mature woman in black stockings and a petite girl in white stockings during gym class flashed through her mind.
Her finger hovered over the send button before stopping.
Pursing her lips, she reconsidered.
No—she’d give Gu Luo a huge surprise instead!

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely.

So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
