Chapter 182: Chapter 177: She is My Mother

Eve was still the same Eve, the little girl from his memories hadn’t changed at all, which gave Xiao Yi a sense of reassurance.

The others had varying reactions upon seeing Eve.

"Wow!?" Nania’s eyes practically shot lasers when she saw Eve.

"Someone my age? Hmm..." Liliana looked at Eve with a troubled expression.

She didn’t know how to interact with a peer, so she was somewhat perturbed about how she should treat Eve.

Perhaps... it was better to keep her distance?

Clements turned to Xiao Yi and asked, "Xiao Yi, is this a friend of yours? She seems a bit... unusual."

"Not just a friend!" Eve corrected him somewhat angrily, "Don’t make assumptions if you don’t know!"

"Is that so? Sorry... Then what’s your relationship?"

"Um... well..."

Eve’s cheeks flushed with a hint of shyness as she glanced at Xiao Yi before saying awkwardly:

"I am... I am his fiancée... no, wait, I should be his girlfriend now! Yes, that’s it— his girlfriend!"

"Girlfriend, huh?" Clements wasn’t surprised; he just looked at Xiao Yi, "This kid is really mature. You must have had a hard time."

And Xiao Yi’s response was just as Clements had anticipated.

"The kid is talking nonsense, don’t take it seriously."

However, Xiao Yi’s next statement stunned Clements.

Xiao Yi said, "She’s not my girlfriend, she’s my mother. I’m her son."

Clements: "...Ah?"

Nania was also taken aback, "Ah? Playing this big?"

Liliana nodded thoughtfully, "So he likes this kind of thing."

The crowd in the live stream, who had been confused about the sudden and inexplicable changes in the world, began to ponder.

But Eve’s reappearance made them even more bewildered.

[Quack! Not this woman again! Brother Xiao Yi is going to be humiliated again! I don’t want it! I object!]

[Laughing, they’re naturally a perfect match, a couple made in heaven. What right does a nobody who’s unloved in reality and only rants online have to object?]

[Stop fighting, the music recognizing reality is already playing.]

"You..." Eve looked at Xiao Yi with a sigh of resignation, "How many times have I told you not to call me ’Mom’? Why don’t you ever listen to me?"

"There’s more to this?" Xiao Yi asked immediately, "Then what should I call you?"

...

In that instant, countless affectionate names flashed through Eve’s mind, but they were all too embarrassing.

"Ugh~" After some hesitation, Eve finally decided to give up, "Just call me by my name, that’s fine."

"I got it," Xiao Yi then asked, "By the way, Mom, what’s your name again?"

"...Eve! How can you forget something so important!" Eve said with a face so flushed with anger.

[Scum who can’t even remember his own mother’s name.]

Afterward, Clements too came back to his senses from the shock, realizing that the relationship between the two was more complicated than he had imagined.

But for the moment, it was better not to delve too deep; there were more pressing matters to resolve.

He addressed Eve, "Eve, is it? When you say not to try to leave, what do you mean by that?"

Eve glanced at him and said, "Do you even need to ask? You are all imprisoned here. If you don’t fulfill what you are supposed to here, of course you can’t leave."

"Supposed to?" Clements was puzzled, "What do we have to do here that’s so urgent? And why here? We didn’t even know this hotel existed before this."

"Do you even need to ask? There are unresolved matters still buried in your hearts, aren’t there?"

...

Eve’s remark left both Clements and Liliana in silence, while Xiao Yi remained nonchalant, and Nania staggered closer to Eve.

"Then... can I ask a question?" Nania inquired, "Little Yifu, can I... touch your hand?"

"No," Eve answered immediately.

"Wahhhhhh!" Nania suddenly collapsed to the ground, weeping uncontrollably.

"..." The others didn’t seem to have any particular reaction, but Eve frowned slightly as she looked at her.

What kind of people are these?

At that moment, Eve also caught sight of Liliana standing next to Nania.

"...Hmm!?"

Eve’s eyes suddenly became full of hostility, for she felt a sense of crisis.

She thought to herself: Why is there a character here with the same attributes as me? I’ve never heard of this! This girl... very dangerous!

"Eh..."

Suddenly being stared at so fiercely by Eve, Liliana also became flustered and began to panic.

She hadn’t intended to have much interaction with Eve, but now it seemed inevitable that she would have to approach her and speak.

"Eh... um, Little Yifu..." Liliana tried to communicate with Eve.

But Eve, on full alert, immediately felt displeased.

"Little Yifu? I don’t recall being that familiar with you."

"Ah! Sorry! So... Miss Eve?"

"Do I look that old?"

"Ah! That... then how about, Sister Eve?"

"Hmph, what an arrogant way to address someone."

"This... that!" Liliana was completely panicked, almost on the verge of crying. Then, after racking her brains, she came up with an answer: "Then... how about Big Sister Eve?"

"..." This time, Eve did not react.

"...!" Seeing that Eve didn’t oppose her anymore, Liliana finally took a breath of relief and then cautiously said, "You... hello."

"...Hello."

Seeing that Eve was willing to exchange greetings, Liliana seemed extremely happy.

Xiao Yi saw that Eve was getting along quite well with someone her age and couldn’t help feeling relieved, thinking to himself that Mom had also grown up.

Then, Xiao Yi put those thoughts aside and asked,

"Eve, are you clear about the situation here?"

"Of course!" Eve said proudly with her hands on her hips, "Who do you think I am?"

"Is that so? Then tell me, what exactly is going on with this page and the situation we encountered just now?"

"It’s simple, because this world is... ah."

Eve was about to say something, but she suddenly remembered something and quickly covered her mouth with her little hands.

"Wuwuwuwu! Wubu neng sha!"

"...Ah? Why is that?"

Eve removed her hands, took a deep breath, and then said earnestly,

"Xiao Yi, even I am not without restrictions, so I’m sorry... I can’t reveal information about this world."

"Is that so? It must not be easy for you either." Since Eve had said so, Xiao Yi didn’t intend to ask any further.

"There’s something else." Eve took on a serious expression, "Xiao Yi, there’s something I want to discuss with you, let’s go somewhere out of sight of the others."

[...Ah?]

Hearing this, the audience in the live chat felt a surge of tension.

Xiao Yi didn’t think much of it and agreed right away, "Then let’s go to my room in the hotel."

"Before that, let’s eat something, I’ll prepare it quickly," Clements suggested.

"No need." Eve said, "From now on, I’ll take care of all your needs, Xiao Yi."

"...Is that so?" Clements looked somewhat disappointed.

Afterward, Xiao Yi and Eve headed towards the hotel together.

While walking down the corridor, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but ask, "Eve, what is it that you want with me? Come to think of it, I don’t even know how you suddenly got here? Did you have some work that just happened to bring you this way?"

"Something like that." With no one else around, Eve spoke directly, "But the main reason is you. Xiao Yi, you’re going to encounter a very dangerous being, one that you shouldn’t and can’t face, so... leave this place with me, I’ll keep you away from these dangers forever."
