The sound of the lock snapping shut rang out clearly in the abandoned shopping mall.

Yun Zhuo had truly seen it all; he had seen underwires before, but this was the first time he had seen chainmail.

He thought to himself that he finally understood why it felt like he was resting his head on a rock earlier; the truth was finally out.

"Haven't you seen enough yet?"

With a hint of bashfulness on her face, Di Zhenzhen shot Yun Zhuo a glare.

"You know my hometown is Dawn City, right?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Then that's it. I'm just a country bumpkin who hasn't seen much of the world. Won't you let me take a few more looks?"

"Huh?" Di Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment before she reacted, saying shyly, "You're just talking nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. Before I met Sister Zhenzhen, I always thought the English alphabet only went as far as F. You're the one who told me that G comes after F."

"Bah, silver-tongued. If you keep this up, I'll ignore you."

"Then I'm leaving."

"Don't, wait a second."

"You duplicitous woman, you still can't bear to let me go."

"Yeah. Help me pull up the zipper in the back."

Di Zhenzhen turned around and brushed her long flaxen hair to the front with her hand, revealing the zipper on her nun's robe.

"What kind of fabric is your clothing made of? It's not quite silk and not quite polyester, but it feels smoother than silk and softer than polyester."

"I don't know, Dr. Qiu made these for us."

"The inner piece too?"

"Yeah."

"She might have some kind of weird fetish."

"She is your elder, it's rude to talk about her like that."

"Alright, let's go."

"Wait, let me put on my veil."

"Don't wear it." Yun Zhuo snatched away her hat and veil. "I like seeing you like this."

"Fine then. By the way, how are you going to explain things when you get back?"

"Since it's already done, I have to take responsibility. Making excuses after the fact is not how a man acts."

Teacher Su was no fool. Since he hadn't returned by now, she could figure out what was going on with her eyes closed.

Trying to lie at a time like this would just be asking for trouble.

In Nun Village, the lights were still on in the Convenience store at the village entrance.

Jiang Jingjing and two of her close sisters were sitting inside, cracking melon seeds and shooting the breeze.

The sounds of their occasional giggling could be heard from far away.

"Sister Zhenzhen and Xiao Zhuo still aren't back yet. I'm getting sleepy."

Jiang Jingjing said, "Lingling, why don't you head back first? Now that those Adventurers have left, I can keep watch here by myself."

Nana laughed and said, "Sister Jingjing, do you really think Lingling is sleepy? She wants Zhenzhen to come back quickly so she can get the gossip."

"Sister Zhenzhen and Xiao Zhuo still aren't back by this time. Aren't you guys curious at all?"

"Sister Zhenzhen is really something. Don't you think being at home is better than being outside? If it were me, I'd definitely stay at home. Isn't hiding outside just deceiving yourself?"

"What would they do at home?"

"Heh, you two are asking when you already know the answer."

"Anyway, I've decided. As long as Xiao Zhuo doesn't mind me, I'll have his baby."

"With that small frame of yours, can you even give birth?"

"Shh~ do you hear that?"

Jiang Jingjing suddenly cut them off, raising a finger and pointing outside.

There were footsteps, getting closer and closer.

Lingling and Nana immediately dropped the melon seeds in their hands, brushed off the husks, and stood up to run to the door.

Seeing this, Jiang Jingjing grumbled inwardly, "Hey, these two disloyal girls. As soon as Sister Zhenzhen shows up, they immediately forget about me."

The three of them crowded at the door of the Convenience store and saw the man and woman leaning against each other under the moonlight. Who else could it be but Xiao Zhuo and Sister Zhenzhen?

Di Zhenzhen had also spotted them early on.

The playful sounds of Jingjing, Lingling, and Nana were particularly clear in the silent night, drifting into her ears from a distance.

She knew these three girls were waiting for her and Xiao Zhuo, and she couldn't help but feel a hint of shyness as her cheeks quietly heated up.

If it were The two Su sisters at the Convenience store, she would have let go of Yun Zhuo and put some distance between them by now, because as the 'third wheel,' she wasn't mentally prepared yet.

But since it was Jingjing, Lingling, and Nana...

She stole a glance at Yun Zhuo beside her and, instead of letting go, she clung even tighter to him.

They were all her own sisters, and she was their big sister; tonight she would summon her courage to set an example for them, as there was nothing to hide.

Yun Zhuo noticed her small movement but didn't mind.

"Ahem." Jiang Jingjing, who had just squeezed to the door, was the first to clear her throat. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, her eyes filled with playful mockery as she deliberately drew out her words.

The next moment, they heard Di Zhenzhen say, "What are you doing? It's so late, why aren't you all asleep yet?"

She was still leaning on Yun Zhuo's shoulder, her tone carrying a bit of lingering shyness, yet she maintained the steady Aura of a big sister, balancing it perfectly.

"Hmph, why did you only just get back? Don't you know it's unsafe outside at night?" Jiang Jingjing immediately replied with a hint of mock annoyance.

"Exactly, exactly." Lingling nodded in agreement. "If we weren't waiting for you, we would have gone back to sleep long ago."

Finally, Nana asked the key question, blinking her eyes. "The two of you leaning together like this... what exactly does it mean?"

Jiang Jingjing and Lingling instinctively looked at Nana; this girl was still so inexperienced that she dared to ask anything directly.

Di Zhenzhen turned to look at Yun Zhuo. In her shimmering beautiful eyes, tenderness and shyness were entwined like a pool of moonlight, so beautiful it made one's heart tremble.

Yun Zhuo smiled and patted her hand. Before she could speak, he raised his voice to the three of them, "Sisters, I'm here to solemnly announce that this is the last time I'll call you 'Sisters'."

"Ah, why?"

Jiang Jingjing and the other two instantly widened their eyes, looking at him with confusion. Even Di Zhenzhen, who was leaning on his shoulder, looked up with surprise in her eyes.

"Because from this moment on, you have to call me Brother-in-law."

"Ah?!"

The four women were all stunned for a second, and in the next moment they realized what he meant. Di Zhenzhen's cheeks instantly turned deep red, and she lightly punched Yun Zhuo's arm, saying with a flirtatious pout, "You and your silver tongue!"

Having reacted, Jiang Jingjing laughed and said, "Then Brother-in-law, since you've said so, shouldn't you treat us to Wedding candy?"

"Yeah, yeah! For such a big occasion, Brother-in-law must treat us to Wedding candy!"

"What Wedding candy?" Yun Zhuo pulled Di Zhenzhen by the waist and laughed heartily. "I'll treat you to Wedding wine another day! Nobody is allowed to go home until I've drunk the three of you under the table."

"You're just talking nonsense!" Di Zhenzhen punched him lightly again. Her ears were so red they looked like they could drip blood. Though she was scolding him, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

"Ewww~"

Seeing their flirtatious behavior, Jingjing and the other two collectively rubbed their arms, pretending to have goosebumps, which made Di Zhenzhen glare at them instantly.

"What are you 'ewww-ing' about!" Di Zhenzhen pulled a long face but couldn't hide the shyness in her eyes. "I'm warning the three of you, if you dare to go around spreading rumors about today, see how I'll deal with you!"

She was speaking with hidden meaning—if they really called Xiao Zhuo 'Brother-in-law' and those two Su sisters heard it, then what?

Simply put, she didn't want them causing trouble for her at a time like this.
