Chapter 27: Savoring with Heart
I like Xinran?
Really?
You’re lying!
This is even harder to accept than liking Li Nai!
The ‘me’ in this world, after learning that Xinran is not related by blood, developed the same feelings. It can only be said that we were mutually attracted from the start.
Receiving such news so suddenly, I am the most shocked, which makes the situation too chaotic.
Then, the reason ‘I’ deliberately acted like I liked Li Nai was to hide this matter, right?
In the end, ‘I’ must have given up, because Xinran and I both considered Ke Ling’s feelings. For her sake, even if we were in love, we wouldn’t show it.
It was hidden so deeply.
“Juncheng? What’s wrong? Don’t be shy, I already knew.”
“No, I was just thinking about some things, and the person I wanted to give it to isn’t Xinran…”
Li Nai blinked in confusion, then poked my nose with her index finger and said to me.
“Huh? Isn’t it? Have you really decided to give up? I don’t believe it!”
“Why don’t you believe me?”
“I remember it clearly. It was raining heavily that night, and you came to my house without an umbrella. It took me half a day to get it out of you to know the specific reason. Then you stayed at my house that night, and we slept in the same bed. I was ready to comfort you with my body, but you refused… you said you couldn’t do it for Younger Sister Xinran. Feelings that would reject me to this extent can’t just be given up, right?”
So that’s what happened. That’s why only Li Nai knew about it.
Seeing Xun’er’s surprised expression next to me, it was obvious she was hearing this for the first time.
“…So Juncheng, you’re actually a sister complex. I knew it. You eat bento boxes made by your sister every day, and there aren’t many brothers and sisters like this nowadays.”
“……….”
If it can be controlled, it’s not called emotion. Let’s go back. Juncheng, you should go and report it quickly, or she’ll worry.”
“Yes, yes…”
Are people this considerate now…
Sister Li Nai is different. As an adult, her mature and stable aura controlled the whole scene.
Because of the experience of surviving the apocalypse with Li Nai, ‘I’ trust Li Nai a lot, even to the point of treating her like a family member.
This time, I’ll listen to Li Nai. I called Xinran and told her I was going to a friend’s house for dinner and would be back a little late, so she should handle her own dinner. Xinran’s response was very indifferent, and I couldn’t tell her feelings. So I didn’t know what she was thinking. After hanging up, I immediately called Ke Ling and threatened her that if she didn’t eat dinner, she would be dealt with by me. I hung up without waiting for her reply.
“Where is Ke Ling?”
There’s no point in reasoning with the current Ke Ling. Explanations will only give her more opportunities to retort.
Moreover, I have a mission. If I can find some clues this time, it will be one step closer to achieving the plan.
Li Nai’s home is no longer the small apartment above the supermarket, nor the home in the underground zombie world. It’s a high-rise luxury apartment.
It seems Li Nai has completely overcome her financial troubles and has become a high-class white-collar worker.
After dinner, Li Nai patted her stomach, lying on the ground with a satisfied expression, a happy smile on her face.
“Ah~ I’m so full~ so satisfied~ I didn’t expect Juncheng to be such a good cook, it’s like he sprinkled magic powder on it? Ah! I want to marry you even more!”
Hmph, of course. This time I put in 100% of my effort.
However, Li Nai can really eat. Coupled with Xun’er, the appetites of these two are really unfathomable. I made enough food for seven or eight people… I haven’t seen the zombie Li Nai for a long time, and I almost forgot she has the attribute of being a foodie. Xun’er too. Her movements were elegant during the meal, but her speed was surprisingly fast.
There was no rock-paper-scissors this time. I took the initiative to wash the dishes. The kitchen counter was open, so I could see the living room. While washing the dishes, I spoke to Li Nai, whose clothes were disheveled, revealing glimpses of her skin.
“I say, Li Nai, don’t lie down right after eating. And put your clothes on properly.”
“This is a benefit for you~ Moreover, it only shows how delicious it is when the clothes are torn, right? The more delicious it is, the more you take off! Hmph hmph, but Juncheng, you’re not skilled enough to make everyone around you so engrossed that their clothes tear. You’re not qualified as a chef yet!”
“What kind of theory is that? And what do you call this half-undressed state of torn clothes…”
“Then should I take it all off?”
“Put your clothes back on! If you continue like this, you’ll become an older leftover woman!”
Jeez, you’re just like Nana, aren’t you? A useless shut-in!
“Leftover woman, leftover woman. I’ve been prepared to be a leftover woman for a long time.”
“Why? If you wanted to, you definitely… many men would like you.”
I couldn’t say it out loud.
Because I was afraid she would go find a boyfriend because of that sentence.
If that happened, I would feel a little uncomfortable… no, quite uncomfortable.
But Li Nai already knew what I wanted to say. She lay on the ground, narrowed her eyes, looked at me ambiguously, and the meaning in her smile became more playful.
“You tell me why?”

The collection of books is still published in SF Light Novel.
Seeing my silence, Xun’er, who was drinking black tea, put down her teacup and looked at me, saying.
“I feel like Juncheng, you seem to have become different.”
“Huh? How so?”
“With that sentence just now, if it were the original you, you would have said it without hesitation. But today, you swallowed it… I kind of want to know why.”
Xun’er’s gaze became sharp, and Li Nai also became interested. She suddenly sat up, her chest heaving.
“That’s right, that’s right! Today’s Juncheng is very different! You seem more confident? Well~ I think this is better~ The previous Juncheng always had a troublesome expression on his face, like a completely dispirited man~”
It’s not that bad, call me an energy-saving man.
It should be the same now. Although the memories are different, I am still me. Fundamentally, there’s no change.
“No! Although your personality hasn’t changed, how should I put it… hmm, you seem more emotional?”
Xun’er also nodded in agreement.
“Yes, Juncheng, you helped us, and our relationship should be closer. But you deliberately kept a certain distance from us. Now this distance has disappeared.”
Because the experiences and memories are different, I tried my best not to talk about the past to avoid revealing myself.
But they still noticed such subtle changes, probably because they understand me well enough.
Then there’s no point in continuing to hide it. Moreover, only by crossing this threshold can we re-establish our destiny connection with them.
So I finished washing the dishes, wiped my hands, took off my apron, came to the living room sofa, and said solemnly.
“Actually, there’s one more thing I want to ask you two.”
“Whatever it is, we will help you.”
I held out my palm to interrupt them and said with a very serious expression.
“I appreciate your intentions, but I think you should listen first and then reconsider if you still want to agree. To avoid any misunderstandings, I’ve decided to explain first. It might take a long time, can you listen carefully?”
They both nodded. I took a sip of water to moisten my throat and began to tell this long story.
Around 8 PM, I summarized the main points of the matter, but I still didn’t mention Lou Ling and the world plan.
“…That’s about it.” “Mm-hmm!”
“Okay, do you understand now?”
Li Nai nodded and shook her head.
“I sort of understand, some parts are too fantastical. I can still understand Destiny Power. Later, some men in black came and told me about Destiny, but Mirror World, Transposition World, Paradox, I can’t understand them at all.”
Phew, that’s good. If you said you didn’t understand at all, I might have the urge to strangle you.
In contrast, Xun’er seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and her expression was even more serious than mine.
“Juncheng, have you told the organization about this?”
“Of course not. It’s impossible.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone even if you beat me to death. But in the previous world, I actually became a zombie? And it seems I lived happily as a zombie. Isn’t that great!”
“With your thoughtless nature, it doesn’t matter whether you become a zombie or not…”
“Hahaha~ That’s my strength~ But I forgot about him, but… I haven’t forgotten.”
Li Nai smiled at me and said.
“It’s only because of Juncheng that I’ve overcome it.”
Ah, I know.
“But Destiny Power is truly terrifying. It really changed the whole world, and we were completely unaware of it…”
“Yes, Xun’er, do you know anything else?”
“I don’t know much either, but the organization has done a lot around you, and they have ulterior motives. I’m just an external employee, like Xue Qing, working for the organization, just a temporary worker. They won’t inform us of those core secrets. I’m sorry, I can’t help.”
“Is that so? It’s okay. Xun’er, you’ve already helped me a lot.”
Although I comforted her, Xun’er’s mood didn’t improve. Instead, it became even gloomier, as if the sky was falling, or as if a heinous sinner finally realized what they had done. She slumped over the table and said in a trembling voice.
“But I actually ate you… It’s truly unforgivable!”
“So, that’s all in the past… Oh, no, it should be said that it’s something that never happened.”
“But even then… not only did I break the taboo, but I also… the most important person…”
“Okay, okay, I don’t care anymore. Besides, it was my will. I ordered you to do it.”
“No! That’s Juncheng’s one-sided word! I still can’t forgive myself! Right, Juncheng, you said that if we restore our destiny connection, I can regain my memory! Then I want to regain my memory!”
Oh oh! She’s asking for it directly!
This development is exactly what I wanted!
“Restore destiny connection, right? I heard Nana talk about this. We need to connect the Destiny Mark of the Master of Fate and the F Witch… Juncheng, where is your mark?”
I stuck out my tongue and pointed at my tongue, making a sound.
“Read.”
“Huh? Where?”
Bag F SF Light Novel.
“Uh, here, here.”
Li Nai tilted her head and answered for Xun’er.
“Your tongue? Eh~ It’s on your tongue? What a strange place.”
At this moment, Xun’er also reacted. Looking at my tongue, her face suddenly turned red, and she stammered.
“Tongue, tongue, tongue, tongue, tongue?!”
“It’s… hmm, can we skip it for today? Cough, cough, Nana might not have eaten yet. I’ll go back.”
Saying that, Xun’er turned to leave, but was pounced on by Li Nai, whose eyes were shining.
“Don’t even think about escaping! How can I miss such an interesting thing!”
“No! Let go of me!”
“No! You, Little Xun, are the one who brought up restoring the connection! Right! Juncheng!”
…I just didn’t expect Xun’er to suddenly change her mind.
Xun’er covered her face, which was as red as an octopus, and said.
“Because, because I didn’t expect Juncheng’s mark to be on your tongue! I don’t know where my mark is… In that case…”
“Yeah! That’s why it’s fun to lick all over the body! Hoh hoh hoh…”
“I can’t stand it! If you want to lick, I should be the one licking! Being… being treated like food by a human, I can’t accept it! No! Let go of me! Help me!”
“Stop the nonsense! Watch me strip you naked!”
I don’t even dare to look… Why is Li Nai so excited instead?
“Alright, Juncheng~”
Alright?
Xun’er’s eyes were already tearing up. She looked weak and pathetic, tilted her head, not daring to meet my eyes, covered her private parts with her hands, and curled up her body…
Instead, it made one feel a kind of impulse.
And Xun’er, as if resigned to fate, said in a voice as small as a kitten’s meow.
“Mmm… Please savor it with your heart.”
Savor? What?
Is it a loli?
I feel like I’m one step closer to the ‘little black room’…
