City B, De Xing District, Motan’s Apartment
Somehow, I ended up taking on the task of ’keeping an eye on that scumbag named "Mor", and if he shows any inappropriate behavior (including but not limited to not washing hands before meals, snoring, smacking lips while eating, improper Mandarin, being unhygienic, or effeminate), report immediately, and if possible, gather information about him outside the game.’ Motan put down the phone, looking bewildered and a bit out of sorts.
What can he do? What can he say?
From any angle, as a real-life friend of the Ji Family sisters, he, known as Hei Fan in The Realm of Innocence, couldn’t possibly refuse such a ’minor task.’ He couldn’t even find a reason to refuse.
So without further ado, amid the palpable killing intent from the other end of the phone, he agreed to undertake this task, swearing that he would thoroughly and clearly research this scumbag named "Mor". If circumstances allowed, he’d even try to get some offline intel for Ji Xiaodao to exact her revenge.
It’s worth mentioning that the play titled "Outsider’s End of Love Record," penned by Motan himself, had quite a strong impact when it was filmed as a stage play by the Ji Family sisters’ class in those days. Especially the scene where Ji Xiaodao, playing the role of ’Student Xiao Muo,’ slashed dozens of people in the classroom with a hatchet — the acting and the execution, it was like a literal portrayal, leaving viewers sweaty from fear, even through the screen.
In conclusion, in Motan’s eyes, Ji Xiaodao, who generally had a "stay away from strangers" vibe, had become somewhat demonized. Simply put, infinitely close to a ’cold-blooded female killer who might pull out a hatchet and cut through a street anytime’ ← that kind.
But speaking of which, although the request was legitimate and a real pain, for Motan, who was the person involved, it wasn’t really all that difficult. It’s impossible to dig up the address, not in this lifetime. As for those things like not washing hands before meals, at least when he was "Mor," he really didn’t have any of those issues, so he could just tell the truth.
In any case, after agreeing to the task, already feeling emotionally heavy, Motan became even more exhausted, so much so that he had a bit of a stomachache.
"Hmm, speaking of stomachaches, I didn’t expect Xiaoge to make sweet treats that could be placed directly in the hands of her own sister, even under the strict supervision and assistance of Xiaodao while following the recipe completely..."
Motan smacked his lips, recalling Ji Xiaodao’s voice on the phone earlier, still cold and sharp, but unable to mask the pain, and he couldn’t help but shiver.
If he remembers correctly, the Tanhua University everyone was supposed to attend together should have a cooking elective course. And it’s mostly tender and gentle girls in there, along with guys who were either scheming or freeloading.
[For heaven’s sake, let’s hope no one dies.]
Flopping onto the sofa, Motan silently prayed in his heart and secretly vowed that even if he were to die, he would never register for that elective course.
Like a big lazy dog, he flipped over on the sofa, closing his eyes in pain from exhaustion and severe stomach pain. He began to verify the schedule for the evening in the game, trying to minimize unexpected events as much as possible, though it didn’t seem to be of much use.

City B, De Xing District, Ji Xiaoge/Ji Xiaodao’s Home
"Xiaodao, are you... okay?"
Ji Xiaoge gently hugged her younger sister, who was struggling with discomfort and had been lying in the bedroom all morning under the pretense of not getting enough sleep, asking concernedly, "Is it that the pastries big sister made are too hard to swallow..."
Her pale-faced sister shook her head vigorously, forcing a smile, "Of course not, big sister, your pastries are very well-made, and they seem to have quite a long shelf life, so..."
"So what!?"
Ji Xiaoge’s eyes instantly sparkled.
"Didn’t you say earlier that a friend in the game took good care of you?"
Ji Xiaodao pursed her lips, struggling to take a sip of juice, and said to her sister, who seemed to have a strong resistance to all kinds of dark cuisine, having survived five little cupcakes, with a smile, "As a return gift, would you consider sending him some?"
"Eh?"
"Yeah, to the friendship between you two."
With a sweet smile on her face, Ji Xiaodao downed her juice in one gulp, then stood up, but stumbled back into Ji Xiaoge’s arms, raising her hand weakly, unable to say anything before ’falling’ back into sleep.

"Do you want to go watch a movie later?"
Nangong Na, dressed in a light yellow long dress, took a sip of a well-tasting but not very economical special ice porridge, suggesting to the friend sitting next to her.
"Hmm."
Yu Chen nodded slightly, her gaze somewhat distracted.
"Speaking of which, Chenchen, aren’t you feeling hot wearing such thick clothes in this hot weather?"
Nangong Na looked somewhat distressed at her friend, who was also wearing summer clothes but in long styles that almost wrapped her tightly, and her brows furrowed slightly.
"Hmm."
Yu Chen continued to nod, seeming rather absent-minded.
"Speaking of which, it’s almost time for school to start again."
Nangong Na dug a spoonful of Yu Chen’s melon-flavored ice porridge, anxiously saying, "Honestly, I still can’t get used to transferring schools no matter what. Do you think I will be able to get along with everyone?"
