"How can you scream like that under normal circumstances, Mom? Think about it, it's obvious that you are just half asleep and your brain is not working properly."
This time Masha was telling the truth.
Masha's mother persisted: "What about the short guy before?"
"That's my junior sister. We are both from the radio station. The college entrance exam is coming up soon, so she comes every day to cheer me up."
"Is there anyone who cheers people up like that?" Mom glared at Masha.
"Oh, girls nowadays are very open-minded. Of course, I know she is interested in me, but I didn't agree to her. I am devoted to Chihiro. Look at me for so many years. I haven't fallen in love or done anything. How could I suddenly fall in love right before the college entrance examination?"
Uncle Lin nodded: "Xunxun likes to joke around. I'll have to talk to her about it later. I think this matter is really not that big of a problem. Kids nowadays are different from when we were young. They are more restless during puberty. As long as no one is killed, I think it's acceptable."
Masha felt a little bit reluctant, deceiving Uncle Lin and so on... But he did not cause any deaths - he just sent a few terrorists to see God.
Are terrorists considered human beings? Of course not, they are beasts.
Masha's mother stared at Masha with suspicion. She probably knew her son as well as Chihiro did, so she didn't believe what Masha said at all.
Masha looked at his father again - he was actually the only one afraid of his father among this group of people. Although Uncle Lin was also a scout back then, he neglected exercise and had long since become an ordinary greasy middle-aged man, with a belly almost as big as Sun Yifeng's.
Ma Zili looked at his son, and his expression could be summed up as "I understand", "The charm of my youth" and "You deserved it for what you did".
—What's that called? Like father, like son?
At this time, the door opened, Chihiro came in, took off her shoes quickly, and ran over to sit next to Masha.
Uncle Lin spoke up: "Daughter, tell me, what do you think?"
"Strong male lions can possess more lionesses, which can pass on strong genes and eliminate inferior genes in the population." Lin Qianxun said seriously.
"Be serious." Uncle Lin frowned slightly.
"I'm serious, Dad. Don't worry. Your daughter is so strong. Other women can't beat me. In the end, the most genes will definitely be those from our family!" After saying that, Lin Qianxun gave a thumbs up to all the adults at the table.
Uncle Lin was choked by his daughter. He was silent for a long time before he said to Masha in a serious tone: "Masha, Uncle Lin, I believe you!"
Although Masha felt guilty, she still tried to put on a serious tone: "Okay, leave it to me."
Lin Qianxun suddenly asked his father: "Dad, I have finished the exam. Didn't you say before that you wouldn't need to take care of me after I go to college, so just give birth to a younger brother?"
"Ah? Oh, this matter, this... Look, your mother is so old. It's very dangerous for elderly mothers to give birth." Uncle Lin's expression was extremely embarrassed. It was obvious that this instructor was not good at dealing with his daughter.
Lin Qianxun turned to look at Ma Zili: "Where's Uncle Ma? Can you give Ma Sha a brother?"
"Well, your Aunt Fu is also old... She is old, so let's forget about it."
"Ma Zili," Masha's mother glared at his father, "No wonder you didn't say a word just now."
Lin Qianxun was obviously trying to hold back his laughter.
Masha tapped her foot gently under the table.
Ma Zili looked innocent: "I have nothing to say. I trust my son. I made three rules with him a long time ago, right, son?"
"Yes!" Masha nodded vigorously. "You can't violate public order and morality, you can't bully girls, and you can't ignore bad people. I remember it, but I'm a pity that I've never encountered a situation where I needed to be brave and righteous."
——I haven’t encountered a time when I needed to be brave and righteous, but I have encountered a time when I could avenge the innocent souls, and I acted decisively.
Father Ma looked at his wife and said, "See, our son is still very sensible."
"Ma Zili, okay, in the past, whenever your son did something wrong, you would fight him, but now that he's like this, you support him instead?"
"I didn't support him! I just think that I can still trust him at this stage. If he makes things worse, I will definitely beat him up. Masha! Listen to me! Don't cause any trouble for me! Otherwise, we'll see you in the boxing ring!"
Masha nodded seriously: "Okay, don't worry, Dad, I won't give you the chance to practice boxing with me!"
Ma Zili nodded and changed the subject: "I heard that you have made great progress in boxing recently. How about this, after dinner, let's go fight, I'll see your progress, and by the way, let some people cool down, okay?"
Qianxun said loudly: "Great! I haven't seen Uncle Ma and Masha practice boxing for a long time, I want to watch it!"
Masha glanced at his childhood sweetheart: You are deliberately trying to mess with me.
----
In this situation, I quickly finished writing about the parent-child interaction. MOTHER and SISTER are both those words.
There will be no parent-child interaction in the future.
Chapter 122 Childhood sweethearts know everything (th update)
It was nine o'clock that evening when Masha and his father returned home from the boxing gym. After taking a shower, he went back to his room and saw Chihiro lying on his bed playing with her cell phone.
"How is it? Are your bones broken?" the girl asked without raising her head.
"It's more than just falling apart," Masha plopped down in his seat, "How do you think he, the boss of a small, shabby company, can maintain his physical strength? Look at Uncle Lin, he has none at all."
"Isn't this good?" Qianxun said with a smile, "Seeing your father's expression, I feel relieved, because that means your shelf life will be just as long. I really like your mermaid line."
After saying that, Chihiro threw down her phone, got up, ran behind Masha, pressed her chest against the back of his head, and let her hands drop down to touch his mermaid line.
"Tsk, these muscles are amazing."
Masha let her touch his belly, and felt the girl's fat with the back of his head: "Are you a nympho?"
"How can you say that? You would also find the curve of my belly pleasing to the eye, right? I know that you particularly like the painting of the big spearman with a shoe-horn face, right?"
"Their style has changed a lot now. They no longer have a shoe-horn face."
"Hehe, I know very well that the biggest difference between Daqiang Weiren and others is that he puts extra effort into depicting the belly! Other painters try to shorten the girl's upper body as much as possible, but he draws the belly and ribs very carefully, and he doesn't like to use clothes that make the legs look long and the belly short to create parallax!" Chihiro left Masha and ran straight to his bookcase, "Hehe, I know, it must be here!"
"Wait a minute!"
Chihiro had already opened the bottom door of the bookcase and took out a shoe box. When she opened it, she found Masha's collection inside - all the fan fiction books published by Aoi Ogawa in the name of the "Girls Knights" club.
"Look!" She picked up the book "Glorious Paradise of Gancheng" that was placed on top, turned to the page with the full-body portrait of the princess, and then lifted her clothes to expose her belly. Then she adjusted her posture towards the light in the room, making the shadow on her belly almost the same as the fan art, perfectly showing the curve of her abdomen, "Here! And here! Hehe, my curves are not inferior to the paintings of the big spear reed man, right?"
Masha nodded.
"Do you want to touch it?"
Masha nodded vigorously.
"That's exactly the point! What's wrong with the mermaid line I want to simulate?"
"My wife is right!"
Chihiro put the book into the box contentedly. At this time, Masha quietly pointed under her desk.
Chihiro took a look and saw the bug still lying on the ground under the table.
She and Masha exchanged glances, then suddenly exclaimed, "Wait! Lift your feet!"
Masha actually had no intention of stepping on the bug, but now she cooperated with Chihiro: "What's the matter? Hey, what is this?"
He bent down and picked up the bug.
After this thing is destroyed today, either Masha or Chihiro is at home, so the office cannot send anyone to recycle this thing.
If they had recovered it, they would have concluded that someone had tampered with it and that it had fallen so easily. But now that Masha and his team had picked it up, they could have easily destroyed the "evidence" left on it, and if they sent it to the office, nothing would be found.
Not only that, Masha also decided to complain harshly to the office.
He handed the thing to Qianxun: "Look, what is this? Why do I feel like it's a bug?"
Qianxun also acted very serious: "I think so too, can you tell me?"
Masha handed the thing to Qianxun, and then asked worriedly: "What should we do? Did we do that this morning and it was broadcast live at the office?"
"I'm afraid... that's the case."
Without saying a word, Masha picked up the phone and dialed the emergency contact number the office left for him.
"I'm Masha!" he yelled to the other end. Chihiro patted his shoulder and said, "Speak softly so Uncle Ma can't hear you." Of course, her voice was loud enough for the other end to hear her, as she wanted this "realistic" effect.
A sweet female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, how can I help you?"
"I accept that you installed bugs in my house, and I allow you to do so. But isn't it a bit too much to install bugs in my bedroom? Ah?" The intonation of Masha's "ah" is exactly the same as the "ah" his father used to scold him when he made mistakes, which shows that Masha is indeed Ma Zili's biological child.
"Uh, let me transfer this to you..."
"Please transfer me to Qi Xiangwen. I'm an SSS-rank officer. Is it okay to ask the director to answer the phone?"
Qianxun said beside her: "I also have something to say to the director."
The other party certainly didn't dare to neglect it. Soon, Masha's familiar voice appeared in the receiver: "I'm Qi Xiangwen, what's the matter?"
"You installed a bug in my bedroom! My morning... my morning! Do you guys enjoy the live broadcast? Or ASMR? Is it enjoyable?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, that bug was installed some time ago," Qi Xiangwen's voice sounded kind and peaceful. "I'm really sorry, but we haven't used it for a long time. We have no idea what you did this morning!"
Masha demanded, "Really? Lying to me will have serious consequences!"
"of course it's true."
Qi Xiangwen's voice sounded extremely sincere.
And Masha's trust in him, which was already extremely low, became even lower.
"Well, is there any bug in my bedroom? You'd better come and remove it! If you find any more bugs or cameras in my bedroom, I will... write a letter to the World Government!"
Masha chose a threatening method that looked very much like what a high school student with no experience and no knowledge would choose.
"No, no, I promise you that's the only one in your bedroom, and it's gone now."
"Okay." Masha looked up and glanced at Chihiro, "Do you have anything to say?"
Chihiro shrugged, "It seems there is no need to talk about it now. Oh, by the way, if there is a bug in my room, I hope the office can remove it."
"Director, did you hear that? My wife wants you to remove the bug in her room."
"The magical girl is a trusted agent. We weren't spying on her in the first place."
"That's what he said." Masha "passed on the message."
Lin Qianxun snorted.
Masha shrugged.
"Well, Director, excuse me for bothering you. Good night."
After hanging up the phone, Masha looked at Chihiro with a slight smile on his face.
Chihiro responded with a wicked smile, and the two of them high-fived silently—the curtains were now closed, so no one outside could see.
Even if they saw it, it didn't matter. It was just a high five, and there were countless interpretations.

Well, it’s the fifth update. It is said that five updates is considered an “explosive” amount on Shuke.
But I have to be harder on myself.
See you soon at the sixth update.
Chapter 123 If You Don’t Really Like Someone, Who Would Be Willing to Be a Dog? (Sixth Update)
Qi Xiangwen put down the phone and rubbed his temple, which was aching slightly from being forced to wake up from the rapid sleep machine.
"Why did I suspect that he was the King in Yellow before?" Qi Xiangwen muttered softly.
Once people have determined something, they will subconsciously continue to look for evidence to support their conclusion.
Even an experienced agent like Qi Xiangwen is not immune to this, especially when forced rapid sleep is interrupted. Rapid sleep machines are harmful to the human body, and forcing yourself to wake up like this is even more harmful. The dull pain in the temple is a minor matter, and the actual consequences are much more serious than this.
Qi Xiangwen's thinking ability is now probably only half of his usual level, and he's a bit "grumpy when he wakes up."
So he didn't think much about it and just complained.
Then he lay back on the rapid sleep machine, ready to finish the sleep he had not yet completed.
He didn't even think about the fact that the little bit of resentment lingering in his heart might subtly affect his judgment during sleep.
Anyway, the idea that Masha is not the King in Yellow has been deeply imprinted in Qi Xiangwen's subconscious mind.
**
The next day, Masha, Chihiro and the league secretary met early in the morning.
The itinerary that Masha planned for today was, on the surface, shopping, but in fact they were going to investigate one of the many addresses they had found during the all-night stay - this place happened to be near Jicheng Road, a famous old commercial street in Yuezhou.
Although Jicheng Road is the most prosperous commercial street in Yuezhou City, it is located in the center of Yuezhou's old city and is surrounded by the old city. It was originally planned to be completely demolished and rebuilt, but later, as the call for protecting intangible cultural heritage grew louder, the old city was protected, and the experience of rebuilding the cave gate at Senhai was learned, and the renovation was gradually started.
But this old city is so huge that, in addition to the parts that have been rebuilt, there are also a large number of truly original old streets, which are a mixed bag of good and bad people.
