"Tsk~ Didn't I say not to bother me?"
Ye Li helplessly answered the phone: [Stephen, what's up? Have you figured it out? If you have, you should be going to Nepal, not back to New York...]
[Hey, don't be like that, Li.]
Strange: [I was afraid of disturbing your rest last night, so I waited until noon today to call. Do you know how anxious I've been?]
Ye Li: [So?]
Strange: [I want to meet you.]
Ye Li: [Sigh... Alright. When?]
Strange: [You set the time.]
Ye Li: [Then wait for my message. Come to Sunnyvale]
Strange: [You moved back to the manor?]
[Yeah.]
Ye Li pulled the smooth body of the "780" girl into his arms, playing with her: [A very wise decision. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have had enough space to live]
[....]
Strange was silent for a moment: [...It seems like a lot has happened while I was away from New York... Do you know what that big battle in New York was all about? I heard Stark and your sister were both involved...]
Ye Li: [Let's talk about those irrelevant things when we meet. I'm not exactly free right now]
[Alright, alright, I get it. Contact me as soon as possible.]
Beep—
Strange sensibly hung up the phone.
"Mmm....."
At this moment, Cindy, due to a certain someone's movements, woke up tiredly, "Mmm... The morning sun is really bright..."
"It's already noon now."
Ye Li said with amusement, "If you had woken up earlier, you could've seen a beautiful rainbow."
"Hehe~"
Though the girl looked tired, her eyes were filled with joy, "With such a big thunderstorm yesterday, having a rainbow this morning is pretty normal, right~"
"Haha~"
Ye Li wrapped Cindy in the bedsheet, held her, and led her to the window, "Actually... there's still one now."
Cindy happily asked, "Really?"
"Really."
Whoosh.
Ye Li pulled open the curtains—
Outside the window, a massive and vivid rainbow stretched across the sky...
If he said there would be, there had to be.
To control the weather.
That's just how willful he is.
"Waa~
That was such a powerful thunderstorm, no wonder the rainbow that followed is so extraordinary~"
Cindy leaned into Ye Li's embrace.
Looking at the rainbow in wonder.
Its size and its dazzling colors were truly rare.....
The citizens of New York also saw the prominent rainbow in the sky, smiles appearing on their faces.
"So beautiful~"
"This is a sign from God!"
"We've made it through the hardship! Good fortune is coming next!"
"A rare weather phenomenon!"
They saw it as a good omen, bringing a sense of renewal to New York as it recovered from the battle.
…..
The scenery was beautiful.
The atmosphere was perfect.
The two figures by the window naturally kissed each other... another picturesque moment.
When their lips finally parted.
Cindy gently pushed Ye Li away, begging for mercy, "No more messing around, I really can't take it....."
"Alright."
Ye Li readily agreed, "Then let's have breakf— oh no... lunch instead."
…..
As the sunlight shifted.
It was time for dessert.
Knock knock~
Cindy tapped the strange white gourd in front of her with a spoon and asked.
"What kind of fruit is this? It looks so strange."
"It's delicious."
Ye Li smiled mysteriously, "Go ahead and try it."
"...Alright then."
The girl trusted him, scooped up a spoonful of the stringy fruit, and put it in her mouth to taste, "Mmm...."
"Mmm...! It's really tasty..."
"Li, you should try some too…"
"Mhm."
Ye Li also picked up a spoon and joined her in tasting it, chatting as they ate.
"Cindy, do you want to move into the manor? You could keep Felicia company too."
"Mmm....."
Cindy's expression froze slightly... her mouth puffed up with fruit, a drop of juice glistening at her soft pink lips, making her look incredibly cute.
The girl secretly thought: 'It's not just keeping Felicia company.... I'll probably be sleeping in a shared bed from now on....'
That time in the lounge, when they all "played cards together," was still vivid in her memory...
Thinking about how she would soon be part of that group.
Cindy's face turned bright red....
She hesitantly murmured—
"Okay."
Living together with Li… Felicia… and Gwen sounded rather tempting.....
…..
Sunnyvale Manor.
"Boss."
Silver greeted Ye Li, "You're back."
Her waterfall-like silver hair shimmered slightly in the sunlight, and her figure was perfectly outlined by her combat suit, making her very eye-catching.
Ye Li glanced at Silver Sable's cool and beautiful expression, playfully sliding his finger down her delicate nose as he teased her.
"I've told you already, just call me Li~"
"Please behave yourself, Boss."
The cool and capable beauty turned her head to the side, a faint blush on her pale cheeks.... "That counts as... harassment."
"Alright, let's talk business."
Ye Li admired her as he said, "I'm currently short on a personal bodyguard. Interested in doubling as one?"
He had temporarily assigned Barbara to follow Skye, who now held a high position and needed a professional by her side.
'You call this business....'
Silver Sable secretly grumbled: 'This pervert, he even has his eyes on me.'
