Male Succubus Apocalypse

Um...but...I forgot my share...

When Xu Heng heard Vivian's words, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten something. He just wanted to get the two children to sit down and eat delicious food and get back together quickly. He was not hungry either.

As for choosing dishes, he remembered that Vivian thought steak was great, and it went well with red wine, it was more formal, and it would be quicker and would make Vivian happy. An Lingqing didn't have a preference, at least not now, and he thought that was a better idea.

But if you think about others but forget to think about yourself, what can you do? You can only lie to your children.

It would be a little late to make another one when he went back, and if it took too long, An Lingqing, the good girl, wouldn't eat it. If she didn't eat it, Vivian probably wouldn't eat it either - according to Xu Heng's understanding of basic etiquette, it was impolite to eat without paying attention to the guests - Xu Heng felt it was not good to let two children wait for him.

"Thank you, Master! I am deeply grateful and will obey your command..." Xu Heng responded to Vivian first. The priorities were clear, and An Lingqing didn't care about this. But the one who needed to be taken care of first was actually An Lingqing.

So he didn't notice Weiwei's gradually fermenting emotional changes at the first time. After turning back slightly to greet him, he coaxed An Lingqing, who touched him a little, "Qing, I'm not hungry. Have you forgotten that I've been to the hot spring? I'm full of energy now, and I don't really like beef. You eat it. Oh, by the way, you haven't eaten steak before, right? Come, I'll help you cut it, and then I'll sit down, and you can sit down too, okay?"

Following the words, Xu Heng took the steak handed to him by An Lingqing, then pulled out another chair on his right hand side. With Vivian's instruction, he sat down safely on the chair that An Lingqing had moved over, but he also had to let An Lingqing sit down.

Hearing this, and seeing that Heng was moving in a direction that made her feel less uncomfortable, An Lingqing nodded, and sat down obediently and upright on the chair Xu Heng pulled out, and then waited for Xu Heng to "help you cut it" - she didn't understand why he had to cut it, but it seemed that Heng wanted to do this, so she had no objection.

He put the steak on the table, picked up the knife and fork on the plate, and started cutting it into small pieces to make it easier for An Lingqing to eat and less likely to get dirty - he knew the way she ate, and he even suspected that if An Lingqing didn't think about herself and started eating by herself, she would probably just eat with her hands, which would make Vivian think she was a weirdo, and it would affect her image.

But as soon as he made the cut, his emotional perception organs began to sound the alarm. A very complex emotion, both negative and positive, so complex that it was difficult for him to fully distinguish what it was, suddenly swelled up from the right.

His hand paused, Xu Heng thought to himself: Oh no! It's over. Did I forget to ask Vivian if she wanted to cut it? No way! It's not good to be so stingy. You are an older friend, and you cut it yourself before. I'll take care of the guest... um... okay, I didn't think about it!

His brain started working at a very fast speed. When he was thinking about the next strategy, suddenly there was a flash of blue light, and the steak in front of him and the fork in his hand disappeared. Then he blinked blankly, and three plates of neatly cut steaks reappeared on the table, as if they had been cut and divided evenly by a machine, and three sets of knives and forks were placed next to them.

Xu Heng could tell at once that these three plates of incredibly delicate steaks were undoubtedly cut directly by Vivian using her space magic.

Then, he couldn't understand it, and his brain couldn't work out. Was he angry? Or not angry? But his emotions were clearly...

"Eat, let's eat. If you don't eat, it's somewhat impolite. Remember, you are my family now... So, you don't have to call me master. Just call me Vivian. There's no need to use honorifics..." Vivian's voice sounded again, and her tone was unexpectedly calm for Xu Heng.

Ah! That’s right! Vivian said it before! She asked me not to call her master! Is it because of this? Ah! I was on a business trip at that time, and I hadn’t formed the habit yet! Besides, there was such a strong smell of gunpowder between her and An Lingqing, it would be easier for them to explode if I didn’t express my inclination verbally.

What should I do?

But... it seems that Vivian didn't act very angry... Let's apologize first. It's always right to apologize. After all, the details were not controlled well.

"Lord... No, Vivian, I didn't think it through. Sorry, I forgot to address you. You said it before, and I promised, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Vivian interrupted him, "Xiao Heng, there's no need to apologize between family members. It's okay. Just eat. Just remember this time."

The voice was still calm. Vivian's profile was covered by her blue hair. She didn't turn her head and started eating steak with her knife and fork. Xu Heng couldn't see her expression and couldn't make a judgment, but since Vivian said so, he didn't know what to say. She must be a little angry, right? But she is more tolerant of me? She has grown up... Vivian, thank you for treating me as a family member, but I am really sorry, I am a liar...

"Okay." Xu Heng agreed and smiled at An Lingqing beside him. Seeing that she was still waiting for him to move first, he didn't think any more and started to taste his steak without hesitation. When An Lingqing saw Xu Heng smiling at him, she returned an even brighter smile and started to eat with a fork.

But the more Xu Heng ate, the more he felt that the atmosphere was not right - he was glad that Vivian didn't ask him what happened between him and An Lingqing, and he probably had discussed it while he was cooking - because they were too silent and Vivian's emotions were complicated, he couldn't think of any solution at the moment, but there were many back-up plans, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Not to mention An Lingqing, who simply liked to eat.

There was only one problem - he had never eaten with Vivian! Before, he just waited by the side and there was no need for him to talk.

There's nothing wrong with just not talking while eating, right? Didn't we follow the rule of "no talking while eating, no talking while sleeping" in our previous lives? Maybe Vivian likes this, yeah, that makes sense, she just wants to eat quietly... I'm overthinking.

Xu Heng simply ate it - I made a really good steak, hehe! It was a soak in the spring water, but the food was a real treat!

So at this point, Xu Heng no longer had any chance of seeing even a little bit of the face hidden under Vivian's long blue hair, which was originally quite pale but now extremely red.

He didn't like beef, and he knew An Lingqing had never eaten it, but he still made steak. It turned out that it was because I had expressed my liking for it before...

But he clearly remembered something from so long ago, but he forgot to call me "Vivian".

When Vivian found out that Xu Heng had forgotten to do his own portion, he started talking to An Lingqing as if she was coaxing a child, and even helped her cut the steak.

All of a sudden, all these events piled up together, and she became mentally unbalanced, and a feeling of sadness arose.

She didn't want Xu Heng to treat her as "master" and An Lingqing as "Qing". Why did she always feel that An Lingqing and Xu Heng had a closer relationship? This made her feel uncontrollably depressed.

But she was also happy because Xu Heng was very partial to her, actually valued her more and put her first. She had used the mantra to detect many of Xu Heng's words before. From her point of view, Xu Heng was sincere. When she thought about it, she began to feel touched.

Xu Heng was obviously so good to me, why was it that it took until An Lingqing appeared for me to realize that I didn’t treat him the same way?

Ever since An Lingqing brought him here, I have been asserting my sovereignty for my own feelings, but I didn't consider what he would think. I made him think I was angry, and scared the little cat who wanted to get close to me...

He was so considerate of my feelings and cared about my preferences, but I never really treated him as an equal, thinking that since he was my servant, I would never lose his favor.

I am really, so selfish.

If he really wants to leave me one day in the future, what should I do? Can I restrict his freedom? No, just like An Lingqing said, he is free and does not belong to anyone, but can I just watch him leave? No, Vivian, you know you can't accept losing him now.

Moreover, he has always treated you as his "master", or even more deeply, as his sister, but what about you?

There is a great sense of crisis.

So, Vivian, there is no other way. You can only be a little selfish and "dirty", take advantage of his preference and your kindness to him, keep him, and treat him better.

Xu Heng, I can't be distracted too much before completing the plan. Please forgive my selfishness. I can't just give you up like this. Wait for me. At least after I complete the plan, I can really treat you well and keep your heart with me completely.

Vivian's emotions gradually evolved and reached a peak as she thought about it. Vivian, who couldn't stand Xu Heng helping An Lingqing cut steaks, directly used magic to divide the two steaks into three - Xu Heng had to eat it, even if Vivian couldn't eat it herself, she had to let him eat it!

But because of the change in her thinking, if Vivian had not been afraid that Xu Heng would refuse and cause him to change the plate or something, she would probably have added a lot more to Xu Heng's plate.

After doing all this, Vivian didn't dare to look at Xu Heng even once. She didn't want to reveal anything because of the confusion in her heart.

Because the time is not right now, she needs Xu Heng to be less guarded towards her and does not want to make things difficult for him. Their relationship is not close enough, at least not as close as she wants.

From the moment Vivian reflected on herself, Xu Heng truly became an external blood pump that could control her heartbeat. The closer he got, the more he saw, and she knew that she was more likely to lose control. She wanted to do something immediately, but her reason told her that she had to hold back and not rush.

She felt dizzy during the meal, and managed to secretly suppress her mood before finishing the meal. Her face was not so hot anymore, probably not very red anymore.

Then, Xu Heng consciously collected the plates and stacked them together. She knew that he was going to wash them and that Xu Heng was leaving.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Heng stood up and spoke to her: "Wei... Vivian, after returning from this business trip, I kind of miss my brothers. Can I go back to Jincheng? And it's almost time for me to fulfill my agreed one-month deadline. I want to go to the tavern to see if I can earn 100 purple crystal coins. If not, please punish me for not explaining it clearly to them..."

"Sure! Not only will I not punish you, I will also reward you, because your brother not only handed in the money in advance, but also doubled it, and you also completed the mission of the business trip, so you can get two rewards... But there is no rush to go to Jincheng, you just came back, take a rest first, and go tomorrow." Vivian's heartbeat quickened and her tone became excited, but fortunately she had prepared herself mentally in advance, and she was still able to maintain clear logic when speaking.

"Vivian, thank you! Then let me borrow your words shamelessly. Since we are family, it doesn't matter whether there is a reward or not. Just consider it as my willingness to help you... and I don't want to go through the teleportation array this time. I want to give them a surprise, so I would like to trouble you to teleport me to other places in the suburbs of Jincheng, is that okay?" Xu Heng smiled happily and began to talk to Vivian more relaxedly - it seemed that Vivian became tolerant for various positive reasons, so he felt more at ease and could make requests.

In fact, he was not worried about the tavern's profits. Even if it was bad, March had won a lot of money in the casino at that time. He would not be surprised if he paid double or triple the money.

"That's no problem. I haven't been to Jincheng for a long time. I'll take you there myself. Xiaoheng, I really like the bows you bought before. You have good taste. This time, just accompany me for a stroll."

Teleport to the suburbs? Then can I go shopping naturally? And Xu Heng will definitely accompany me, so it's... it's just a date! Vivian! You are such a genius!

Therefore, Vivian said something that concealed her own thoughts.

But Xu Heng's heart skipped a beat - Vivian was going shopping? What if... she ran into a psychopath like Krolitz!

He couldn't refuse Vivian, let alone stop her from going to Golden City. She wanted to go. She had been in the Mage Tower for so long, she had to go out and get some fresh air.

It’s time to burn my brain again…

"Heng, I want to go too, to meet your brothers and go shopping with you. Heng, do you like bows? What else do you like? I have a lot of amethyst coins, and I can buy you a lot of them. Other things are fine too, or we can buy Jincheng." At this time, An Lingqing rushed out with full of expectations.

Ah? You're going too? This little Golden City is in for a treat! Three demigods! If they start fighting, the Golden City will disappear in an instant! If I had known, I wouldn't have mentioned the surprise! Just go back through the teleportation array!

Xu Heng never expected that things would turn out like this. He wanted to go back to his "hometown", not to blow up his "hometown".

"No!" Vivian objected immediately.

This attracted Xu Heng and An Lingqing to look at her.

"Why not?" An Lingqing frowned and asked.

"Because... because I suddenly remembered! We still have things to do! Sister Qing! We still have plans! This is more important than going shopping! So no! Neither you nor I can go!" Vivian thought for a moment and said firmly.
