Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 388 [Magical Girl in Modern Times] 13

Seeing Hongjia's self-doubting look, Fenglan comforted her.

"Don't be sad. Even though your acting is terrible, you didn't fool me," Feng Lan paused and spoke in Hong Jia's expectant eyes, "but you didn't fool my mother either."

Seeing Hongjia's cracked and disbelieving expression, Fenglan finally avenged the fight she'd been forced into by this guy's sudden appearance. "You don't think my mom is that easy to fool, do you? Come on, she's a single mom who also runs her own bakery and has a wealth of experience. How could she easily let someone in and chat so happily just because her neighbor is a girl? There are so many scammers these days."

"It's time for dinner," Mom took off her apron. Hongjia and Fenglan were very tactful and took the initiative to serve the bowls, chopsticks and plates so as not to let Coco's mom worry about these trivial matters.

Coco's mother was naturally happy to have someone do these chores for her. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was much better than before, she smiled and said, "It seems that you two had a good chat during the little time I was away. How is it? Do you feel reconciled?"

Feng Lan was the first to nod. The atmosphere at the table reached a peak of harmony after her mother came out. "Yes, after talking it out, Sister Hongjia feels that her understanding of the world has become much clearer."

"Really?" Coco's mother turned her gaze to Hongjia, smiling, as if waiting for her answer. Hongjia paused, and after speaking, this situation that both parties knew clearly made it impossible for her to casually say some sweet words to the wise lady in front of her as before.

"...Indeed," Hong Jia finally nodded in agreement, "I learned more from today's conversation than I have in the past ten years."

Humans, it seems, are not that bad.

After a delicious but tasteless dinner, Hongjia politely took her leave. Of course, before leaving, she still said something, "Even so, my promise to Madam still stands." Hongjia lowered her head and looked Madam in the eye. "Madam is a very interesting person. Just to see you every day, I am happy to tutor Coco. See you tomorrow."

Feng Lan mourned for An Keke in her heart for a second:... I'm sorry, Keke, I have tried my best to divert your attention, but who can blame this guy for wanting to be your teacher?

An Keke, who was far away in another world struggling to find her way home, said: "Ah-che, ah-che—wow, why am I sneezing so much today? Is it because my mom misses me?"

"Keke, don't be distracted—run! This giant rat is going berserk!"

"Fufu! Be careful!"

An Keke quickly took Fu Fu away and began to move around skillfully, shouting in frustration, "Why! There are so many rats in this other world!"

Not only are these rats bigger than each other, but they are also dirty and not cute at all. What makes An Keke most upset is that these rats also carry a pathogen. After biting people in this world, they will soon fall into hallucinations, have visual and auditory hallucinations, and then go crazy, and eventually be assimilated into rats. It's so scary!

But killing these rats can increase magic power. An Keke knows that the problem of magic endurance has always been her shortcoming, so she still bites the bullet and overcomes her fear of rats and rushes forward to kill these rats.

"I haven't been sleeping well lately," Hua Yan lay on the table with dark circles under her eyes, looking listless. "I can't sleep well and I can't concentrate in class. What should I do, Keke..." Hua Yan wailed.

Feng Lan rolled her eyes at Hua Yan's expression and said, "Before you say that, think about why you can't sleep well. Didn't you say you stayed up late to read that comic book these past few days? Reading such an intense comic before going to bed at night will fill your head with all sorts of random thoughts, so it's natural that you won't be able to sleep well."
