My Love Rival and I Are 100% Compatible - Chapter 114

Chi Yueshan planned to treat Wen Xinghuo to dinner after finishing her part-time job at the Mechanical City.

Xi Zhoumeng watched her holocom screen as she messaged Wen Xinghuo.

Chi Yueshan: “You aren’t jealous, are you?”

Not long after school started, and the practical training list was already out.

Chi Yueshan still needed to take her mecha engineer qualification exam, she was extremely busy, even entrusting her precious notebooks to an “idle person.”

She wondered if Xi Zhoumeng, who was enthusiastic about learning languages, had discovered anything.

Anyway, this person was incredibly clingy when she was.

If Xi Zhoumeng were a furry animal, Chi Yueshan would be covered in fur.

Xi Zhoumeng scoffed, “Do I look like someone who gets jealous?”

She answered casually, admiring her newly bought jade bracelet, clearly high-end, the sound of them clinking together was crisp.

It always made Chi Yueshan think of other things.

This person wouldn’t even take off the bracelet when lifting her legs, and it hurt Chi Yueshan so much that she still feels pain now

Chi Yueshan nodded, “Then..?”

Xi Zhoumeng propped her chin, looking at her, “Then can I come with you?”

Chi Yueshan said “ahh,” “The places we go are cheap, you’ll be embarrassed sitting there without eating.”

Xi Zhoumeng pursed her lips, then adopted a tone she seemed to have learned somewhere, “I’m a discarded wife, you’re heartless… ouch, that hurts.”

Chi Yueshan had twisted her arm.

Xi Zhoumeng: “I’m afraid you two will get drunk again.”

She had no right to say that; the incident of buying a whole pond of geese was still mentioned by Xi Li, becoming one of Xi Zhoumeng’s jokes.

Chi Yueshan: “We won’t drink this time.”

Xi Zhoumeng: “Then let’s change places, I’ll treat.”

She sat up a little straighter, her new rocking chair swaying gently, burying her face in soft chest. Chi Yueshan said “huh”.

Xi Zhoumeng mumbled, “I have something I want to ask in person.”

Wen Xinghuo was also working herself to death. Perhaps due to recent worries, she looked thinner, with a refined air.

Xi Zhoumeng chose her newly invested restaurant, a high-rise building, enjoying the scenery of the third ring road.

The kind where you could see the palace, convenient for Wen Xinghuo to see and remember.

Xi Zhoumeng and Chi Yueshan arrived first. Xi Zhoumeng was already arranging to get back the dresses she had given Xi Yang.

After all, they were for Chi Yueshan; leaving them there wasn’t ideal.

Xi Yang was reluctant, even urging Xi Zhoumeng to design a few more wedding dresses.

The word “Wedding” seemed to touch a nerve in Xi Zhoumeng, making her feel uncomfortable.

The area where her atrophied glands were located at the back of her neck ached faintly, as if her emotions were unpredictable, stirring up other feelings.

Not good.

They were having a serious conversation.

She touched her suppressant patch and added another expensive necklace that made Chi Yueshan’s heart ache.

Even though they were together, Chi Yueshan still couldn’t synchronize with this person’s spending habits.

When Wen Xinghuo arrived, Chi Yueshan reacted first.

Then Xi Zhoumeng looked up.

She was also surprised, “What’s wrong with our Xinghuo? Lovesickness this severe?”

Perhaps her tone was too sarcastic; Chi Yueshan nudged her with her elbow.

Wen Xinghuo: “It’s nothing.”

She looked weary, carrying a large bag, the thing on her forehead was gone.

Her temperament seemed more stable.

Chi Yueshan: “Senior, have you been busy lately?”

Wen Xinghuo: “Very busy. Your Xi Zhoumeng asked me to find something, I even went to the Lower World.”

She spoke plainly, but “your Xi Zhoumeng” hit Chi Yueshan, making her subconsciously look at Xi Zhoumeng.

A little… embarrassing, woo woo woo.

My useless thing is so embarrassing.

The young lady, who had just eaten a cherry, said, “Didn’t I pay?”

Wen Xinghuo: “Thank you.”

Chi Yueshan was even more curious, “What did you two trade?”

Wen Xinghuo took out things from her bag, all blueprints, seemingly hand-drawn.

Xi Zhoumeng finally sat up straighter. Before she reached out, Chi Yueshan exclaimed, “Isn’t this the dilapidated bridge in Zone D of the Lower World?”

The blueprint was large; Wen Xinghuo didn’t speak, pouring herself a glass of water and silently drinking it.

Xi Zhoumeng wasn’t that anxious; she still had a conscience, perfunctorily saying, “You worked hard.”

Wen Xinghuo shook her head, “It’s my duty, you don’t need to pay me.”

Xi Zhoumeng: “I paid you according to your fighting ring hourly rate, don’t be polite, I’m not short of money.”

Chi Yueshan: Can this person stop showing off?

She unfolded the paper and saw a lot of familiar terrain just by looking at the floor plan.

Wen Xinghuo looked at Xi Zhoumeng, “Just as you said.”

Chi Yueshan was even more curious, “How did you find out?”

Xi Zhoumeng put her arm around Chi Yueshan’s shoulder, “Of course, it’s my girlfriend.”

Wen Xinghuo looked at Chi Yueshan in surprise, “Did you know the Lower World had problems?”

Chi Yueshan understood. Xi Zhoumeng had been busy these days, not pretending to be lazy, clearly analyzing Zhou Fengqin’s remaining things.

Xi Zhoumeng: “She had a master, a very capable one.”

She rarely praised people; usually, no one was better than her, so her praise carried weight.

Wen Xinghuo lowered her head, taking out something, “This is the empty shell I found.”

She took out a transparent jar. Xi Zhoumeng frowned, “Don’t show me.”

She even exaggeratedly hid behind Chi Yueshan.

Even if it was an empty shell, not a complete part, that thing was too disgusting.

Chi Yueshan suddenly lost her appetite.

Xi Zhoumeng: “We’re eating, do you have to take it out now?”

Wen Xinghuo: “Sorry.”

Xi Zhoumeng was used to this person’s behavior; she took a deep breath.

“Eat first, then we’ll talk.”

But they inevitably talked about it while eating.

Especially since two of the three people at the table were from the Lower World.

Chi Yueshan hadn’t returned yet, but curious about Wen Xinghuo’s familiarity with the route, she asked, “You haven’t been back in years, have you?”

Wen Xinghuo: “Occasionally, I have part-time jobs that involve transportation, so I go there.”

Chi Yueshan was still looking at the map Wen Xinghuo drew. The capital star wasn’t large; the boundary between the Upper and Lower Worlds supposedly appeared suddenly the year secondary differentiation began.

Since then, human warfare ceased, but they had to fight those ugly creatures that suddenly appeared.

Alphas emerged, mechas were developed, Omegas became rare species.

The Lower World’s education quality was poor; history was always perfunctory documentaries taught by teachers. Chi Yueshan briefly attended and chose self-study without any regrets.

Completely focusing on Guyun Academy’s exam questions.

Xi Zhoumeng hadn’t been to the Lower World, but she had seen documentaries. You needed to go through a long tunnel to reach the Upper World’s checkpoint.

The time and location were fixed; identity verification was required each time.

“I remember you need to apply, how did you travel back and forth?”

Wen Xinghuo did high-paying, shady jobs; Chi Yueshan had also mentioned visiting here once.

In summary, they both snuck in.

Wen Xinghuo said naturally, “Money can do anything.”

Chi Yueshan nodded vigorously, “Exactly.”

Xi Zhoumeng stuffed a spoonful of jam into her mouth.

“What’s on both sides of the passage?”

Wen Xinghuo didn’t know how to describe it; although she had traveled back and forth many times,

she still remembered her first time being taken to the Upper World through the passage.

It was cold.

Both sides were polished granite, carved with ancient stories, presented as reliefs.

Alpha warriors fought the Insect Race with their lives; mecha engineers rose to the challenge, combining industry and technology, ultimately driving back the Insect Race.

The Insect Race, from initially being evenly matched to later having regular invasions.

It was completely humanity’s medal of honor.

Wen Xinghuo recalled the passage, but she always felt…

“It always feels like we’re being watched.”

Chi Yueshan said what Wen Xinghuo wanted to say.

The Omega girl was completely different from the first time they met. She pushed Xi Zhoumeng away in disgust and took a sip of water.

“It’s very cold.”

“But I snuck in, that tunnel might have been reactivated after being abandoned, it wasn’t as grand as the documentaries said, they were all defective.”

“After getting into Guyun Academy, I didn’t need to sneak in anymore. The official tunnel was much wider, the lighting was bright, there was nothing to be afraid of.”

Chi Yueshan added, “I wasn’t really afraid, it was just… um… too cold.”

She glanced at Xi Zhoumeng.

Xi Zhoumeng propped her chin; her holocom displayed pictures of the tunnel.

“It’s been too long, I remember the change in government was around the time the Insect Race retreated, right?”

She didn’t know who she was asking, but the other two weren’t good at this aspect.

Chi Yueshan vaguely hummed, intending to secretly check.

Xi Zhoumeng sighed, “So troublesome, I just wanted to help Wen Xinghuo find a partner.”

Why did this happen?

Even without saying the following words, Chi Yueshan could guess what she wanted to say.

Xi Zhoumeng enjoyed life too much; she seemed to be unrelated to fighting and killing, the change of power didn’t affect her enjoyment of life.

Yet, only a few of them knew about this.

And Sheng Yangkui couldn’t die.

If it was the same as her past life, wouldn’t all this be in vain?

[Xi Zhoumeng: The plot is different from the original, so it’s okay not to follow the main plot, right?]

[Xi Zhoumeng: Are you going to electrocute me?]

The system seemed to have disappeared.

Xi Zhoumeng sighed, feeling that the little thing that had been with her for so many years also had secrets.

Are there many systems in the world, and they socialize?

Or is it self-repairing, becoming useful later?

Xi Zhoumeng felt that this thing’s angry look was a little like Chi Yueshan.

But Chi Yueshan was sitting right beside her.

Then what is the system?

Chi Yueshan felt a chill from her gaze, she said, “Why do you want to help Senior Wen find a partner? What will happen if she doesn’t date?”

Wen Xinghuo was numb; Sheng Yangkui’s past life story scared her.

Killing the queen, beheading her.

She couldn’t imagine herself doing that.

Sheng Yangkui’s consciousness had been completely eroded at that time, only a little of her own feelings remained.

And it disappeared with the beheading.

So in Sheng Yangkui’s past life, did that thing die, or did it find another host?

Wen Xinghuo frowned, eating her steak with a bitter expression, as if this meal was her last.

Xi Zhoumeng propped her chin, smiling, “Not dating will lead to death, like me, without you, I’m just a walking corpse.”

Chi Yueshan felt a little nauseous from the cheesiness.

Xi Zhoumeng laughed, picking up the blueprint and carefully looking at the boundary line.

If those insects were hibernating here before the invasions, it’s no wonder the Lower World was so desolate.

No sun, no vegetation.

But what about other star systems? Not every planet has an Upper and Lower World, is there something in the capital star that attracts the Insect Race?

If every star system’s queen is a puppet, assuming the Insect King is in the R star system, if the R star system’s queen dies, will it be over?

Chi Yueshan felt listless after this meal; she didn’t speak much when leaving.

Wen Xinghuo, however, solemnly thanked Xi Zhoumeng when they parted.

Xi Zhoumeng grabbed the dazed Chi Yueshan, “If you want to thank me, do any work for me.”

Wen Xinghuo nodded, “Definitely.”

There were children selling flowers by the roadside. Chi Yueshan saw a familiar child.

It was the one Xi Zhoumeng had bought flowers from before.

She broke free from Xi Zhoumeng’s hand and walked towards them.

Xi Zhoumeng: “Where are you going?”

Chi Yueshan: “Buying something.”

Xi Zhoumeng watched Chi Yueshan’s back with a smile.

“Wen Xinghuo.”

The Alpha beside her was suddenly called, stunned for a few seconds before humming.

“If something happens during practical training, you need to protect Chi Yueshan.”

Wen Xinghuo looked at Xi Zhoumeng in astonishment, “But we weren’t assigned to the dwarf planet this time.”

Xi Zhoumeng was still holding the map; she wasn’t interested in taking the box of insects back, she just clenched her hand.

“Do you believe in fate?”

Wen Xinghuo shook her head.

Xi Zhoumeng: “I do.”

She rarely had a serious moment; in Wen Xinghuo’s impression, she was always relaxed.

“Since your wife and Chi Yueshan died in your past life, and we luckily survived this time, something else will happen.”

“Do you remember when we were in second grade at Deya Middle School? You were shot in the forehead by Afu’s arrow, and I blocked it for you.”

Wen Xinghuo certainly remembered, Xi Zhoumeng had been absent from school for half a year that year, coinciding with her differentiation, she hadn’t appeared for almost ten months.

“Weren’t you also grazed by an arrow in the hunting ground later?”

Xi Zhoumeng laughed, “I heard it was blown by the wind.”

Wen Xinghuo touched the scar on her forehead; it wasn’t as serious as the one on her eye.

But it caused a stir at the time; people said she was going to die.

Xi Zhoumeng: “Maybe that’s the price.”

Although she was smiling, Wen Xinghuo felt she wasn’t happy.

Her beautiful brows furrowed, as if she had thought of something bad.

But Chi Yueshan had already run over, holding a bunch of blooming yellow roses and running towards Xi Zhoumeng.

Xi Zhoumeng sighed, “Whatever, I have experience.”

The me and the me from any lifetime and space are different.

I have a moon rushing towards me here.

Xi Zhoumeng said goodbye again and went towards Chi Yueshan.

The meaning of yellow roses wasn’t romantic, it wasn’t even beautiful.

Yet, it was significant to them; constant passing meant constant possession, a kind of eternity.

Wen Xinghuo watched Xi Zhoumeng hug Chi Yueshan and the flowers.

She suddenly felt that this scene was hard-won.

The next second, Wen Xinghuo smiled and disappeared into the crowd.

Chi Yueshan: “So many people are watching.”

Xi Zhoumeng: “You rarely spend money on me, what’s the matter with letting people see?”

【Little Theater: Young Couple’s Night Chat】

Xi Zhoumeng had the robot change the aroma diffuser and said——

“Sheng Yangkui is so useless, she’s reincarnated and still doesn’t know anything.”

Chi Yueshan was looking at her new semester’s courses, “Do you think everyone is like you?”

She was still curious: “Why didn’t you tell me what you did before? You don’t love me.”

She thought: Putting knowledge into practice, being unreasonable, should be useful, right?

Xi Zhoumeng:” I don’t know how to say it, I’m afraid my past self was too charming, and you love that past me.”

Xi Zhoumeng: “That’s it, you’ll get tired of me.”

She picked up a mirror, touching her face and whining: “Am I old and haggard? Am I out of favor? Are my new diamonds ugly, or did I make you unhappy with my tongue piercing last time?”

Xi Zhoumeng: “But you clearly…n… ugh!”

Even in the room, Chi Yueshan covered her mouth.

So embarrassing! What the hell!

Chi Yueshan: “I’ve told you everything.”

She hummed, not angry, after all, Xi Zhoumeng gave her enough security that she wouldn’t be insecure because of her past.

Curious and distressed, feeling that she had a bad past.

Chi Yueshan: “Don’t bully the princess, if I were reincarnated, I wouldn’t know what to do either.”

Chi Yueshan: “I didn’t even remember the scratch-off lottery tickets in the Lower World, I couldn’t get rich, I’d probably continue working, tuition is so expensive, Master is so annoying, she didn’t even leave me any money when she died.”

Xi Zhoumeng thought: Then how did she afford tuition without me?

Xi Zhoumeng: “Without me at that time, how would you make money?”

Chi Yueshan: “I’ll still be a streamer, it’s quick money, even without you, there would be others.”

She was frank: “Why have such a strong moral compass? I’m someone who will do anything to achieve my goals!”

Although she said that, she secretly glanced at Xi Zhoumeng’s face.

The young lady looked calm, then hugged Chi Yueshan.

Chi Yueshan: “What are you doing? Are you going to humiliate me?”

Actually, she was also glad she met Xi Zhoumeng, but what if she hadn’t met Xi Zhoumeng?

Would I have done this?

No.

Even if I’m dating Xi Zhoumeng, I’m still me.

It’s just that dating, um… so hard, can’t I be completely honest?

Pingping said to keep some things secret, to maintain some mystery.

But I want to tell Xi Zhoumeng everything.

Xi Zhoumeng rubbed her cheek against Chi Yueshan’s neck: “Yeah, I’ll humiliate you first, make you wear strange clothes.”

Chi Yueshan snorted.

Xi Zhoumeng kissed Chi Yueshan’s chin: “Then I’ll cherish you.”

Xi Zhoumeng: “This idea is pretty good, whether we’re dating or not, put yourself first, okay?”

The next second she felt disgusted with herself, and bit Chi Yueshan again.

Chi Yueshan yelped, turning around and cupping Xi Zhoumeng’s face——

“Wow, the young lady can be embarrassed too?”

Xi Zhoumeng: “Who’s the young lady?”

Chi Yueshan: “My young lady.”
