Chapter 183: The Sacred Flame of Only Me, Meow Meow Meow Meow
Because of Yin Xiamo’s “interference”, ultimately, the typhoon “Orchid”, which was originally expected to arrive in Shenzhen City two days later, made a sudden turn of 120 degrees and headed directly towards the island of Fusang, officially making landfall on May 21st.
Apart from the abrupt change in direction, what puzzled meteorologists and scientists the most was that despite covering almost twice the distance compared to Shenzhen City, the typhoon, after landing on Fusang Island, seemed to gain strength as if “growing stronger with battle,” with wind speeds increasing by two levels, triggering a massive tsunami on the day of landfall.
On May 20th, while Yin Xiamo and I were attending a literature and art exhibition in Shenzhen City, listening to the chief editor on stage discussing the future of Honeydew, residents on the coastal side of Fusang Island were facing what was purportedly the largest typhoon of the century, Orchid.
The super typhoon brought terrifying storms and tsunamis, making coastal cities there seem like the end of the world.
In contrast, Shenzhen City and its surrounding areas experienced a significant reduction in summer heat due to the arrival of the typhoon. On May 18th, the entire sky was ominously cloudy, indicating imminent rainfall. It rained throughout the day on May 19th, and although it cleared up on May 20th, there were still many dark clouds in the sky. The sun finally appeared on May 21st, but the temperature had noticeably dropped compared to the previous scorching temperatures of 39 or 40 degrees Celsius.
Although the meteorological bureau and scientists did not overtly declare any issues with this typhoon, nor did they discuss any “unscientific” aspects, many areas of Shenzhen City broadcasted weather forecasts live due to concerns about the impact of the typhoon on schooling and work. The 120-degree turn of the typhoon was noticed by almost everyone watching television at that time.
Among these individuals, there were a few “experts” or “enthusiasts” with a certain understanding of typhoons who immediately noticed the anomaly of the situation and began discussing the strangeness of typhoon “Orchid” on various online forums.
?Brothers, have you noticed? This situation is definitely not naturally occurring. This typhoon, like a slap in the face, instantly changed direction and increased in wind speed. Where does this kind of natural force come from? Those who don’t know might think it’s a pet raised by a dragon king!?
?Do you think our scientists might have developed weapons against typhoons a long time ago? Like setting off a big explosion at the eye of the storm??
?Bro, do you know how much it would cost to develop such a thing? If you said we could intercept meteorites, that would be one thing, but changing the direction of a typhoon artificially? That would require nuclear weapon-level technology, right? Are we going to throw nuclear bombs into the ocean just for a typhoon??
?Is it possible that this isn’t the work of scientific forces? What I mean is… is there some deity using divine power to prevent the typhoon from hitting Shenzhen City??
?Did I stumble into the wrong forum? Isn’t this the typhoon section? Are you suggesting that typhoons are also created by gods? Two gods fighting? Hey, buddy, can you be more mature and refrain from making those low-IQ comments.?
After two days of fermentation, these “scholars” who usually love studying typhoons and some enthusiasts of “supernatural phenomena” teamed up, sparking a faint voice on the internet claiming that “the typhoon’s change of direction doesn’t seem natural.”
“Shocking! Was Typhoon Orchid’s change of direction artificially intervened?”
“This typhoon has made us realize the possibility of supernatural phenomena in the world.”
“A picture to help you understand typhoons, and to explain why the change in direction of this typhoon is unscientific.”
Posts and articles like these began to appear sparingly in people’s view, and Typhoon Orchid thus became a hot topic.
However, it only made it to the top twenty of hot topics, and soon after, it was brushed aside.
Most of the news ranking above “Typhoon Orchid’s odd behavior” were events like ?XX celebrity scratched their arm during a performance, fans express heartache?, ?A chicken in XX city that can play basketball appeared?, ?Best tips for cooling down in hot weather?.
It can be said that, apart from those genuine typhoon enthusiasts, there aren’t really many people online who would care whether there’s any issue with the typhoon’s change of direction. Even if there is a problem, it doesn’t concern us.
For the average person, it’s basically like—What? Is there an issue with the typhoon’s direction? Does it affect our daily lives? No? Will we still get paid? Will we still go to work tomorrow? Everything remains the same? Then why should I bother paying attention to your typhoon?
For the people of Shenzhen City, it’s mostly like—Is there an issue with the typhoon’s direction? Will the typhoon still hit our city? No? Will we still get time off? No? Oh no, can’t play games tonight, gotta wash up and get ready for work tomorrow. Don’t talk to me about supernatural phenomena, it doesn’t concern me.
?Why are you posting this stuff in the chat group? Do we look like we study typhoons??
?What do you mean, bro? The typhoon’s direction is off? Are there aliens? Is there a picture? No picture? Then what’s the point of saying anything??
?I only know the typhoon went towards Fusang Island. How it got there is none of my business.?
This situation is just like “Strange movements of the seven major planets, suspecting the presence of a strong magnetic field on Pluto”—not at all a topic of interest for the general public. Even if you were to Photoshop a picture or fabricate a video claiming that aliens were found in Typhoon Orchid, it would probably attract even more attention.
I’m not quite sure how Xiao Mo managed it at the time, but anyway, she successfully ran into the typhoon zone alone and successfully caused the typhoon to change direction, while also strengthening its wind speed. Throughout the process, she didn’t leave any footage for the satellites.
To those scientists, this was equivalent to “the typhoon changing direction on its own, and doing so in a very unnatural way.” The scientists were baffled, while the general public remained indifferent. Within three days, the interest completely waned, and everyone’s lives returned to their usual tranquility.
It can be said that the change in direction of this typhoon brought about a mixed bag of consequences. On the Fusang side, things were in turmoil, while the workers and students in Shenzhen City lost two days of vacation but then enjoyed nearly a week of pleasant weather.
As for Yin Xiamo, at least in these past few days, she didn’t seem to have any problems.
In other words, she indeed possesses a powerful ability to confront natural disasters head-on, facing terrifying super typhoons and even being able to manipulate them at will, returning with only minor injuries. This has given me a relatively concrete understanding of Xiao Mo’s strength.
……
May 21st, Tuesday, clear weather, with an average temperature of 21 to 29 degrees Celsius and low sunlight intensity. The weather forecast predicts similar conditions for the next week or so, and the effects brought by the typhoon will dissipate in about a week, ushering in the summer season.
Because we had to attend an art exhibition yesterday, Xiao Mo and I took two days off. Today is the last day, and we can laze around for one more day.
“Oh! My package has arrived!”
Early in the morning, after a refreshing sleep, I, as usual, sat up from my small bed, yawned, and outside the room, Yin Xiamo had already watered the plants and changed clothes.
“Nuo’er, remember, wear the little dress that Little Sister Xinmeng gave you later!”
“Okay, okay.”
Groggily, I first sat up and stretched lazily, then tidied up my messy sleeping gown and the hair that reached down to my hips, pulling up the straps that had fallen off my shoulders a bit.
“What strange thing did you buy again?”
Jumping off the bed, I approached the bedside and with a swish, pulled open the curtains, glanced at the high-end computer on the desk with stickers of myself and Yin Xiamo, and then looked at the bedsheet and quilt cover exuding a girlish vibe. I put on my slippers and, while folding the quilt, shouted out towards the room, “Please don’t tell me it’s… some… kinky props again?”
“How could that be? I’m an innocent good kid!”
Yin Xiamo’s voice came from the open door, “I’m going downstairs to take out the trash and pick up the package. There’s some food on the table, it might be a little cold. There’s also freshly squeezed soy milk by the stove in the kitchen.”
“Okay.”
With a soft thud, the door closed.
As I finished folding the quilt, I yawned once again.
“If you’re still innocent, then I’m probably just a harmless little kitten…”
I silently complained in my mind.
Yin Xiamo, this girl… how should I put it, innocent in front of outsiders, but behind closed doors, she’s a bit of a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
But I can’t blame her for that. If a god who has lived for over six thousand years doesn’t even understand the most basic human “reproduction” process, then she’s really been living in vain all this time.
But what really frustrates me is that Yin Xiamo applied that experience to herself, which makes me feel somewhat… helpless. Even though I’ve watched countless movies in my previous life as an uncle, and my computer is filled with “new folders” and “study materials,” when it comes to real-life experience, I’m completely clueless.
Moreover, this little girl’s body is very unfamiliar to me, while for Yin Xiamo, it’s as familiar as can be. When it comes to a real “fight,” no matter how you look at it, I don’t stand a chance.
Finally smoothing out the bedsheet with the pattern of Little Demoness 16+, I walked out of the room, stretching lazily once again.
“Ah, meow…”
So comfortable. I love the feeling of waking up after a day of exhaustion and having a good night’s sleep. In this state, I always feel like the whole world is tinted with a pink hue, and even the sunlight outside seems much brighter.
If I remember correctly, today is Jiang Wei’s moving day. After marrying Ye Zi, he’s almost finished the handover of the second-hand house with that “fan.”
Moreover, Jiang Wei’s new house is located in the Honor District of Shenzhen City, a seaside community.
The Honor District is the “upscale area” of Shenzhen City. The southern part of the Honor District is almost all villas and upscale communities, while the northern part is a collection of high-end entertainment facilities, such as a medicinal botanical garden and a golf course. To the east is the Shenzhen River, separating the Honor District from the Nanqi District. There are many private yacht parks and helicopter airports around the river.
It can be said that anyone who can buy a house in the Honor District of Shenzhen City has basically transcended the “ordinary people” class, even if Jiang Wei bought a second-hand house.
The second-hand house Jiang Wei bought happened to be situated right in the middle of the Honor District and the Nanqi District, and this upscale community is also known as the “Nanrong Community.” Initially, the developers utilized some connections in the corrupt Nanqi District to build the community right in the middle of the two districts. This situation made it possible for the community to be considered part of both the Nanqi District and the Honor District. When negotiating the land purchase, they dealt with the Nanqi District government, but when it came to attracting investment and selling houses, they claimed it was “land in the Honor District,” making money from both sides.
Jiang Wei writes books on websites, and if they’re well-received, it naturally attracts a lot of supporters, including those from wealthy families. One of the readers who sold him the house was among them. At the time, Jiang Wei mentioned in his novel group that he had the idea of “retiring,” saying that he had earned enough money in his original city and that he was young and foolish, leaving him with various health problems. Working late nights selling computers and writing books took its toll on his health, and since the lease for the computer shop was about to expire, he thought about finding a more remote place, easy to get to but not too backward, to “retire.”
Then this wealthy fan contacted Jiang Wei, saying they had a house in Shenzhen City ready for sale, conveniently located between the Honor District and the Nanqi District. Many of the houses in that community were bought by local tycoons as fixed assets, and few people actually lived there. However, the property management was stable, and it was close to the sea, boasting excellent scenery and environment. Plus, with not too many people in the Nanqi District, the cost of living was low. Even if you wanted to go out for fun, it only took ten minutes by car to get to the city center, making it very convenient. Jiang Wei then negotiated the price with this reader.
In the end, Jiang Wei didn’t tell me the price of that house in the voice message, but I guess it wouldn’t be less than five million, maybe even close to ten million.
Jiang Wei was a bestselling author on the Yae-Do Hall Novel Website before. He earned tens of thousands of yuan in royalties every month, coupled with his computer business, which brought in tens of thousands of yuan in income each month. He also made tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand yuan a month from making videos online. His monthly income definitely reached the standards of the wealthy in the Honor District. Buying a nearly ten million yuan house was not difficult for him. However, most of his funds were “liquid assets,” and it was relatively difficult to get them all out. So, in the end, Jiang Wei chose…
After marrying Ye Zi, Jiang Wei sold all his houses and assets in the local city, transferred the shop, quickly recouped the funds, and then used the house bought with the fan as their marital home. They moved in together with Ye Zi. Then, they rented a smaller shop nearby in the community, quit their previous stressful jobs, and started selling computers together. They would also help locals repair their computers in the shop and write articles online, enjoying an “early retirement” lifestyle.
In a sense, I envy such a life.
Earning enough money, buying a big house, being debt-free, then opening a small shop. Whether it makes money or not doesn’t matter. Just maintaining the habit of getting up and eating on time every day, living off the interest in the bank, and if they have enough energy, having another child…
If possible, I wouldn’t mind visiting there today.
“Soy milk… and steamed buns, and this… This should be cornbread, right?”
Wearing my pajamas, I entered the kitchen and found the “breakfast made by Lan Jiajia” that Yin Xiamo mentioned.
Fresh soy milk ground by a manual soy milk machine, along with two large meat buns, an egg, and two cornbread rolls.
It’s evident that there’s plenty of space left in the pot, probably because Lan Jiajia cooked a portion for four people at once. She, Ai Luodi, and Yin Xiamo have all eaten, leaving only my portion.
Both the meat bun and the cornbread rolls in the pot look unattractive at first glance, especially the cornbread, which still has a lot of corn residue on the surface. These kinds of bread rolls are clearly handmade by the elderly in the nearby market and lack the delicate and beautiful appearance of store-bought ones. However, these cornbread rolls are the most delicious and healthy.
There seems to be too much food for one person to finish…
I scooped a meat bun, a cornbread roll, and an egg into my bowl. Then, I tiptoed to reach the soy milk machine on the table and checked the soy milk inside.
So much left…
After placing everything on the living room table, I found a cup and started pouring soy milk into it.
Speaking of which… I remember something about soy milk containing “plant estrogen.” Would estrogen make the body develop slightly?
For some reason, I recalled what Lan Jiajia said when she measured her chest size before…
?Upper bust 64, lower bust 56, I knew it was like this, how could it be 70.?
?Her upper bust is around 78, and the difference between upper and lower bust sizes is close to a B cup. Your difference is only 8, not even enough for an A cup, belonging to the AA cup standard.?
Hmm… Was my upper bust really only 64?
Lowering my head, I examined the slight bulge under my nightgown skirt, where two small rabbits seemed to be hiding. Even through the thin fabric of the nightgown, it was difficult to discern any curves, but the shape was quite cute.
Speaking of which, with an upper bust of 64 and a lower bust of 56, the difference is 8, while the standard for an A cup is a difference of 10… So, does that mean as long as I let them both grow by just two centimeters, I could reach an A cup?
No… cough, no, why would a manly uncle like me care about this? What does it have to do with me if my chest is a bit bigger or smaller? Nothing at all. Having a too large chest would only hinder movement, and if it’s smaller… well, it wouldn’t cause any harm. A smaller chest would be more convenient for activities.
Having a large chest, like those super big rabbits, or like Lan Jiajia, would be problematic while typing. There’s a geometrically increased chance of making typos if the chest accidentally presses on the keyboard. Isn’t that just making trouble for myself?
Yeah, having a large chest would press on the keyboard, leading to typos and grammatical errors, which is particularly unfriendly for someone like me, an author.
Yes, that’s it. So, it’s better not to dwell on this. Although I’ve been forcing myself not to think about these messy things, I can’t help but calculate the “errors” involved.
Maybe when Lan Jiajia measured, I was still holding my breath. Could that have resulted in an overestimation of the measurement?
If the difference between my upper bust and lower bust is only 8 centimeters, wouldn’t it be better to make a little effort to reach 10 centimeters and get an “A cup”?
After all, an A cup wouldn’t press on the keyboard and wouldn’t sway while running, so it wouldn’t have much impact on daily life, right?
Moreover… I’m already a girl now, so wouldn’t it look better if my chest were slightly larger when wearing women’s clothing? It doesn’t need to be too big, just a slight curve would be enough…
No, no, what am I thinking about again?
In the midst of confusion, I picked up the juicer and poured some soy milk into my cup.
Hmm… soy milk, soybeans, rich in phytoestrogens. Although it’s not the same as animal estrogen, but still… um, if I drink more, can it make my chest a bit bigger?
Nuo’er, why are you constantly thinking about how to make your chest bigger? Have you been enchanted?
But it really feels like girls look better in dresses with a slightly bigger chest…
“Ding dong!”
As I was hesitating about how much soy milk to pour for myself, accompanied by a door opening sound, Yin Xiamo rushed in carrying a box behind her.
“Hello, Little Nuo’er, are you awake?”
“Ah, uh… yes…”
I was startled and shivered all over, almost dropping the juicer in my hand, which landed with a clang on the table. “So soon?”
“Just downstairs at the corner shop, how far could it be?”
Yin Xiamo, after entering the room, quickly changed into slippers and walked over to me. “What were you just doing? You looked so secretive.”
“Nothing… really.”
I hastily stabilized the juicer. “You startled me while I was pouring soy milk.”
“Hehe, usually only guilty little kittens get scared, right?”
Yin Xiamo had a knowing look on her face as she placed two small boxes and a large package on the table. “Guess what I bought?”
I thought for a moment. “Clothes?”
“Wow! Nuo’er is indeed clever!”
Yin Xiamo took the large package. “Yes, it’s clothes, bought for you, high-end, tailored. It’s said to be the flagship product of that store, children’s version!”
With that, the young girl quickly unpacked the package and took out two large bags. “There are blue and pink ones!”
Underwear?!
I was speechless. “But I already have two sets?”
“Two sets are too tight. What if one day you need to change clothes but the washed ones aren’t dry? You’ll have to go commando, won’t you?”
Yin Xiamo unzipped the bag. “And this is a specialized lingerie store. The underwear you bought before wasn’t of good quality, and they were just tank tops. This store is more suitable for you, and it also helps maintain your chest shape.”
“Chest shape…”
I twitched my mouth. “Will this clothing have any effect on my body?”
“No effect.”
Yin Xiamo answered quickly. “Nuo’er, no matter how you grow, your body is always perfect.”
“Then why did you buy this…”
“Because it looks good.”
Yin Xiamo said earnestly. “You spend every day with me, and you even sleep with me at night. What I buy for you is also buying for myself.”
“Why does it sound like I’m your exclusive personal item…”
“Originally, Nuo’er is my little pet, after all!”
“You…”
At this moment, I noticed the style of the clothes inside the packaging after Yin Xiamo opened it. “Isn’t this a bit too cute?”
As Yin Xiamo said, this set of clothes was different from the “children’s underwear” I bought before. The upper part of the children’s underwear I bought was a style of tank top, which wrapped up most of the chest area, while the bottom was a loose-fitting pair of shorts resembling boxer briefs. The underwear Yin Xiamo bought, on the other hand, was a true “girl’s underwear.”
The top was the kind that needed to be clasped behind the back with both hands, with a particularly cute design. The panties also became women’s-style panties, with a small bowtie design. My first impression was… how does this feel like the panties of a magical girl?
“Anyway, these are all bought for Nuo’er. I’ve already opened them, so I can’t return them.”
Under my gaze, Yin Xiamo unpacked the packaging of four sets of the same style of underwear and panties and placed them on the table. “I’ll wash them later, so Nuo’er can wear them to bed with me tonight.”
“Um…”
Thinking that underwear is something that no one will see when worn under clothes anyway, and considering the recent shortage of clothes due to the need to change underwear more frequently as the temperature rises, I reluctantly accepted Yin Xiamo’s suggestion.
“Well, thank you for helping me buy clothes. What about those two?”
I picked up one of the square boxes, about half the size of a phone, and placed it on the table. “What is this?”
Then I saw the logistics information on the delivery box—
?Cat Bell Positioning Retrieval GPS Global Positioning to Find Cats Ultra Long Standby Adorable Weapon?
“The café lost a cat?”
Seeing the logistics information, I puzzledly asked the girl beside me, “Who are you buying this for? Which cat is it for?”
Yin Xiamo blurted out, “It’s for you.”
“For me?”
I was confused. “Isn’t this for cats? It’s a cat bell with GPS positioning for finding lost cats. But I don’t get lost.”
“The positioning is secondary. The main thing is that it looks good, cute.”
Yin Xiamo said seriously, “These days, every time I go out with Nuo’er, I feel like something is missing when I see your white and tender neck. A few days ago, when I was browsing an online store, I accidentally came across this and suddenly realized, oh, it’s missing a cute gadget like this!”
“……”
I was speechless and instinctively pushed the box to the edge of the table.
With a “clatter,” the box fell to the floor.
“Don’t do that!”
Yin Xiamo picked up the box again. “This costs over five hundred yuan. It can stand by for up to 7 days on a single charge, and if it’s turned off, it can stand by for over three months!”
I pushed the box off again.
“Nuo’er is indeed a little kitten. Only little kittens like to push things off the table one by one.”
Yin Xiamo continued to pick up the box with a playful expression, “Nuo’er, listen to me. It’s dangerous for a girl like you to go out alone. In the future, wear this. If you encounter bad people and your phone gets stolen, just turn on the switch on this bell, and I’ll definitely come to you immediately!”
I pushed the box off again.
“What do you want for you to agree? I’ve already bought it.”
Yin Xiamo picked up the box again, looking a bit aggrieved. “I really think you’ll look cute wearing it, Nuo’er.”
I put on an expression of ‘I won’t agree no matter what’.
“Please allow me to refuse.”
“It won’t be very noticeable. You won’t notice it if you’re not paying attention.”
“No.”
“You don’t have to wear it every day. You can take it off when you come back to sleep at night.”
“Nope.”
“Um…”
Yin Xiamo fell silent.
“Well…”
Then, she took out her phone and proposed a condition that I couldn’t refuse: “If you agree to wear this, I’ll let you control my phone for ten minutes, including all the weird videos and files I’ve recorded before. Deal?”
I remained silent.
“Deal.”
“……”
