Meanwhile, at Zhen Youcai’s luxury residence by the river.

"No matter how many times I eat them, I never get tired of these two things."

In front of his computer, Zhen Youcai was leisurely helping Katerina search for information and data on the cult organization while eating fried chicken and sipping cola.

Fried chicken and cola were Zhen Youcai's absolute favorite things to consume.

Whenever he ate these two items, the look of utter satisfaction on his face strongly resembled that of a drug addict getting a fix.

Pure enjoyment, deep intoxication, combined with a touch of fanaticism—this was Zhen Youcai’s current expression.

He was still wearing his outfit printed with full-body images of anime girls, and leaning against the side of his chair was a full-length body pillow over a meter long.

Well, it was one of those somewhat stained and worn-out body pillows.

The anime girl printed on the pillow was a character from an island nation's animated series, seemingly some sort of magical girl.

Zhen Youcai liked to call her Lingzi, and no matter what he was doing or where he went, he had to carry this large body pillow with him everywhere.

Even when sleeping at night, he would embrace this pillow to drift off to sleep.

Countless lonely nights had been spent by Zhen Youcai in the company of this full-length body pillow.

In this otaku's heart, he probably genuinely considered this anime girl to be his wife.

Yes, a romance transcending time and space—at least, that was what Zhen Youcai believed.

As a thorough and complete otaku, Zhen Youcai had hardly stepped out of his house in all these years.

To him, the outside world was far less appealing than an ordinary comic book.

Compared to the dull and monotonous three-dimensional reality, Zhen Youcai felt that the two-dimensional world was much more colorful and vibrant.

Years and years of a secluded lifestyle had kept Zhen Youcai cooped up in this tiny world of his, leaving him with virtually no friends.

Therefore, over all these years, aside from Katerina who would occasionally drop by, very few people ever visited Zhen Youcai's home.

Yet today...

Zhen Youcai's home suddenly welcomed a special visitor.

Ding-dong, ding-dong~

Zhen Youcai's doorbell suddenly rang.

Unbothered and unhurried, Zhen Youcai put down the fried chicken and cola in his hands, walking toward the front door with a look of helpless resignation.

"How come ever since my sister met that man named Chang Yu, the visitors to our house have suddenly started increasing?"

"I'm clearly a quiet and handsome young man, so why do people always insist on shattering my peace?"

Grumbling all the way, Zhen Youcai reluctantly unlocked and opened the door.

Standing outside was a small figure, possessing both an adorable, doll-like appearance and a quirky, mischievous personality.

Some people loved him to the point of wild ecstasy, while others detested him to the point of gnashing their teeth.

And obviously, Zhen Youcai belonged strictly to the former.

"Yangyang!"

The moment he saw who it was, Zhen Youcai immediately let out an excited cheer, completely erasing any trace of his previous impatience from his face.

"Yangyang's here, Yangyang's here!"

"Yangyang, Yangyang, you're finally here!"

The little chubby guy bounced up and down on the floor with infectious joy, actually giving Comrade Xiao Li—who had accompanied Yangyang—the bizarre impression that... the little chubby guy was actually Yangyang's biological father.

Well, Leader Chang Yu had never once looked that happy upon seeing Yangyang.

"Big Brother, I've come to play with you."

Seeing the little chubby guy, Yangyang was also very happy, full of enthusiasm and affection.

Well, his happiness was primarily driven by the prospect of the chocolates, cola, potato chips, and candies about to enter his mouth, and it was happiness straight from the heart.

"Come in, come in quickly~"

The little chubby guy hurriedly waved his hands, gesturing for Comrade Xiao Li and Yangyang to enter the apartment.

Well, the welcome was mainly for Yangyang; as for Comrade Xiao Li, he was just an accessory.

Unlike Yangyang, who acted as if he had returned to his own home and casually kicked off his shoes to walk right in, Comrade Xiao Li appeared somewhat cautious and restrained.

"Leader Youcai, the reason we came over this time is because..." he started to explain.

Before Comrade Xiao Li could finish, Zhen Youcai impatiently waved a hand to cut him off.

"It's just that you parents are busy with work and don't have time to pick up the kid, I get it, I understand completely!"

"Next time you talk to Chang Yu and my sister, tell them that unlike their little couple, I've got all the free time in the world every single day."

..."If there's ever a good thing like this again next time, just send Yangyang straight to my place..."

"By the way, my buddy has finally made a trip over here today, shouldn't you show a little hospitality and do something nice?"

Zhen Youcai's final sentence left Comrade Xiao Li completely dumbfounded.
