Opening up her eyes, Ning Zhi knew that she was back.

She felt much better this time compared to the heartache and disappointment the previous time.

They had fixed the timeline, and Lu Jue’s grandmother survived.

Looking at Lu Jue who was sound asleep, there was a smile in Ning Zhi’s eyes. Grandma was still around, and there was one more person to dote on Lu Jue.

When Ning Zhi woke up the next day, she saw that Lu Jue had already finished washing up and was sitting by the bed waiting for her to wake up.

As they were over at the Ning’s and he didn’t have a familiar path here, he did not go for his morning jog.

Ning Zhi immediately saw the 10 little suns over his head sparkling inside the indicator. They were super cute.

Oh, did he sneak in a kiss again?

He worried that he would be caught, so he only kissed her once this time?

Ning Zhi thought about how Lu Jue must have leaned into her, stealthily and carefully, and kissed her with the tips of his ears reddened. That must be incredibly cute.

Ning Zhi sat up. She was not nice and wanted to tease him. “Did you kiss me again while I was sleeping?”

Lu Jue looked over at her quickly and lowered his eyes. He nodded honestly, and with a strand of his fringe sticking up, he said, “Just once.”

He had only kissed her once today. How did Zhizhi find out?

Ning Zhi’s eyes curved with a smile. She leaned toward him and rubbed his messy fringes, harvesting her 10 little suns.

With the 78 little suns left in her little storage, she now had 88 little suns.

Ning Zhi asked Overlord, “How many little suns am I going to need for the next trip?”

The normal timeline last time cost 100 little suns. Even if it doubled this next time, 200 should be sufficient.

Ning Zhi was prepared for that.

Overlord’s little milky voice was soft. It sounded like it was having a guilty conscience. [Host, you will need 600 little suns for your next trip.]

Ning Zhi, “……”

She asked again after a long while, “How many did you say again?”

Overlord: [Host, it will cost 600 little suns.]

Ning Zhi couldn't help but ask, “Are you sure you are not price gouging me here?”

No, even price gouging wouldn’t have gone that far. This was 6 times the previous amount!

Overlord felt aggrieved. [Host, it is all fair and square. I did not lie to get more little suns from you.]

Ning Zhi harrumphed. “You are forcing me to squeeze Lu Jue for asking for so many little suns.”

600 little suns. Lu Jue’s lips would be swollen from the kisses.

“600 little suns for the next trip… I guess the trip after that would require over 1000 little suns then?”

Overlord chuckled. It was still the cute milky voice, but it was also infuriating in an inexplicable way.

[You can do it, Host. Just work hard for the little suns.]

Ning Zhi truly wished that Overlord had a physical body. That way she could beat it up for good.

Ning Zhi received a call from Mother Lu after breakfast, asking her how much longer she and Lu Jue would be staying in City Nan.

“It is Lu Jue’s Grandma’s birthday in a few days. She misses Xiao Jue, and she also wanted to see you,” said Mother Lu over the phone.

Ning Zhi’s heart throbbed. She was just about to ask about Grandma, but Mother Lu had already brought her up.

“Grandma’s birthday?” Ning Zhi confirmed again.

“Yes, on Friday. Do you think you and Xiao Jue can come home before that? Grandma had been saying that she wanted to see Xiao Jue.”

Mother Lu, too, missed her son. She panicked when the butler told her that Ning Zhi and her son were in a car accident. She almost headed over to City Nan herself.

She was relieved when the butler informed her that Lu Jue was only wounded on his forehead, and he was fine. However, to be safe,  she had sent over two more bodyguards.

Even though she knew that her son was fine, Mother Lu was still worried.

Ning Zhi thought about it some and said, “Mom, Lu Jue and I will return day after tomorrow.”

Mother Lu felt reassured with an exact date.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Zhi turned and said to Lu Jue, “We will return to see Grandma in a couple of days.”

Lu Jue looked at her with his pitch-black eyes. His lips curved upward slightly, and he said to her, “Okay.”
