"Hmm?"

Momo groggily poked her head out in the early morning, looking at the phone that had woken her up. Without checking the caller ID, she simply reached out from under the covers to drag the phone into the bed and answer it. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Hello? Who's this? It's barely dawn..."

"Boo hoo hoo... Sis, I just got off the plane and called you to let you know I'm safe." Mo Shengjie's voice came through the other end of the phone, with a sob catching in his throat as he spoke:

"It was really tough. If it weren't for Sister Reina risking her life to save me, I'd have been gunned down by a machine gun."

Mo Shengjie talked about his difficult escape. Initially, when fleeing from the town, he didn't encounter the pursuit of the rebels until he was almost out of the country. Then, the rebels chased them, driving SUVs.

Machine gun fire blazed in the night, drawing fierce arcs.

They were quite lucky, as during an ambush, the mercenaries were very effective, helping to block the bullets. They also encountered another guerrilla tribe formed by people from Xia Country.

All in all, the escape was thrilling yet safe, as more than thirty people withdrew from the Tropical Continent to the land of France.

"By the way, besides letting you know I'm safe, there's something else I want to tell you, Sis."

As Mo Shengjie spoke, his gaze involuntarily glanced toward the emergency room, where a mixed-race girl sat on a chair, having taken off her jacket to reveal her back, and was treating a gunshot wound to her shoulder. With indescribable tenderness in his voice, he said:

"I think... I may have found true love. She truly gives me a sense of security, even shielding me from bullets."

"That big figure and fluffy feel, it's something I've never experienced before. I'm going after true love, and I might not be able to cover for you anymore..."

After speaking, Mo Shengjie hung up the phone to Momo, feeling a bit guilty.

Although Sis is kind and hospitable...

I'm truly infatuated.

"What?"

Momo suddenly sat up from the bed, a look of extreme shock on her face as she stared at the phone, hurriedly dialing back:

"What the heck is this big figure, fluffy feel? You can't possibly have found a silverback gorilla as a girlfriend, can you?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Answer the call, will you! If you've never seen a woman, I'll hire you a young model, but don't disgrace our family. I don't want to link arms with a gorilla and call her sister-in-law during the holidays!"

Ah Qing kept getting straighter since moving to Wan Chai, and deep down, Momo was pretty happy for him.

He's two years older than me and indeed at the age to settle down, but you can't settle for a black girl! Even if a black girl is tolerable, it's hard to say if she's even human, based on Ah Qing's adjectives.

Where do you find women who are big and fluffy!

Momo was furious, causing the independent pocket springs inside the mattress to ripple, nearly sending Ansheng and Ah Qing, who had just opened their eyes, flying.

"Wow... tearing the house apart before dawn?"

Ansheng, shaken by the spring, looked at the flushed Momo and instinctively exclaimed.

"Wh-what's happening, is it an earthquake?" Ah Qing, completely puzzled, held onto Huhu while looking nervously at the furious Momo climbing out of bed.

"No earthquake..." Momo looked at the phone she just picked up and hung up instantly, face darkened, appearing helpless as she sat on the bed rubbing her head: "It's just that there might be a bloody disaster at home during New Year, blood spilling five feet."

If you say your girlfriend is black, going out and having fun is one thing, but don't bring her home.

Otherwise, we don't need to pick a pig for the New Year's pig slaughter; just trick Ah Qing back and commence the slaughter.

"Is it really that serious? Does Xiaolan need to go to the Security Bureau to report?"

Ah Qing got up from the bed, climbed to the bed's edge, and hugged Momo, asking with some concern.

"The Security Bureau... They probably won't handle Ah Qing turning into a furry fanatic falling for a silverback gorilla and following a gorilla up a tree to live as a wild man." Momo said with a speechless expression, looking at Ah Qing and started ranting.

"Ah Qing... Oh my? Your boyfriend!" Ah Qing pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly her pupils shook violently.

"Bah, your boyfriend!" Momo retorted with an eye-roll.

"Think positively, maybe Old Mo just found a local who resembles a gorilla?" Ansheng, trapped on Momo's back by Ah Qing, said with a peculiar expression to comfort.

The so-called silverback gorilla might actually be a Beast Warrior sent by Lin, not necessarily a true furry.

"That's even more of a downfall; it would be better if he found a gorilla..." Momo sighed heavily, deciding not to bother with this mess, as she had already done her duty not ratting out to Ah Qing's dad.

Saturday should have been a pleasant day, but Mo Shengjie's call left Momo in a bad mood.

Seeing Momo say it's nothing, Ah Qing chose not to continue the conversation, moving with Huhu to the bedroom's bathroom to start washing up, granting her some personal space.

"Oh, by the way..."

Ansheng used a disposable toothbrush to brush his teeth, then darted out of the bathroom to squat by Momo's leg, patting her knee as he said: "Last night, there was an accident at home, I accidentally broke your camera."

"Camera?" Momo asked with a hint of confusion, pointing to the drawer in the nightstand.

Ansheng shook his head, pointing towards the wardrobe.

"Oh... You mean the Fuji? It's okay; it was just a piece I used to create a retro look, occasionally shooting some straightforward portraits. If it's broken, it's broken."

Momo looked at the wardrobe, waved her hand indifferently, glanced at the little fox, then at the nightstand, and after some thought, pulled the drawer open.

Ansheng was momentarily surprised, unable to marvel before seeing the drawer empty, with only a layer of black velvet inside.

"I'm not a petty person; there's actually nothing in the drawer..."

Momo fumbled inside the drawer for a moment, pulling out a black sensor card and "beeping" it next to the nightstand.

The top of the nightstand slowly opened, illuminating with a faint glow.

"Look..."

Momo picked up the little fox, gesturing for him to look. Ansheng glanced at the nightstand, the entire fox's expression frozen.

"As far as I know... this item is known as the Holy Grail in male dorms. How did you steal a man's wife and put it in your nightstand?"

"..." Momo couldn't help but roll her eyes and said with a sense of entitlement: "It's hard to explain to a fox, but basically, I'm scared of pain and can't bring myself to exert force on myself."

"But when I'm pressing 1 for this thing, I really do it vigorously."

Ansheng: "..."

Thank you for sharing the secret with me, but I find this absolutely absurd as An Mo...

Although, it seemed quite reasonable for you...

After sharing the little secret with Huhu, Momo closed the nightstand with a hint of curiosity, poking the little fox on the shoulder and said:

"I've shared my secret; so... can you take me shopping tonight?"

"Regarding Spirit Beast studies, without certification, exploring privately seems illegal, right? For instance, going on an adventure in the Security Bureau, sounds quite thrilling."

"..." Ansheng gave Momo a sideways glance, then looked at the hand exploring the buttons on his belly, raising a fox paw to slap the back of the hand.

"Talk is talk; keep your hands to yourself... "

"You can look, but don't take pictures inside, or Old Li will use mid-air scissor legs to pop your head."

"Old Li? Who's that?"

"The honorary principal of the main campus of the Rising Academy."

"Awesome... So cool."
