Convenient for you to bite me.
Once the wailing child finally quieted down, the production team began to announce the game’s rules:
“The name of this game to compete for housing is the 「Great Tacit Understanding Challenge」.”
“The two parents will need to press the buttons on their respective devices to answer the questions on the large screen, and the baby will guess whether the parents’ answers are the same. One point will be awarded for each correctly guessed question, for a total of ten questions. After the game ends, each family will be ranked according to their accumulated score.”
After the rules were read, some of the families were happy, others were worried.
Qi Song was a little worried. While the mic was still off, she told Yu Luo, “If it’s a test of tacit understanding, then there’s nothing we can do.”
She’s just a person who only just transmigrated into this world a few days ago, what kind of tacit understanding could she have with this mother and daughter?
Even if the original owner were here herself, they might have lost their tacit understanding due to the two years they had been broken up and out of contact.
Yu Luo turned her head to look over, her clear, gentle voice made slightly cool by the night wind. “Why?”
Qi Song was silent for a moment, then continued, picking up the response she had used before to press Yu Luo’s sore spot. “I’ve told you, past experiences that weren’t important have been deleted. So of course, any tacit understanding is gone too.”
“……Is that so.” Yu Luo’s dark eyes stared at her, an emotion churning in their depths.
Just when Qi Song thought she was a little angry, she saw the Omega suddenly let out a light laugh.
The laugh was clear, gentle, and open—not a forced smile, nor was it passive-aggressive.
It carried a kind of inexplicable certainty.
“If you’ve lost your tacit understanding with me because you ‘deleted experiences,’ it doesn’t matter.”
“Then just use your instinct,” she said unhurriedly, her slender, pale fingertips hooking a strand of hair by Qi Song’s ear and twirling it.
“Use the instinct that made you rush to the kitchen to help me cook the moment you remembered my hand was injured.”
“The instinct that made you unable to stand by and watch the wound on my palm, to endure and endure before finally coming over to help me treat it.”
The amusement in her voice grew clearer, like something soft and fluffy lightly scratching Qi Song’s ear. “Qi Song, your instincts are always very honest…”
Something as brilliant as starlight was also swaying in those beautiful eyes.
Qi Song looked at the Omega before her spouting all this specious nonsense and wanted to refute it, word by word.
She could feel her skin temperature rising because of that nonsense—
It obviously couldn’t be the shame and anger of being exposed.
It must be indignation. The insignificant help she had offered out of kindness, out of a good conscience, had actually been so misinterpreted by this Omega.
Although her mic was off, the camera was still filming, so her expression remained unchanged. The tone of her words, however, was extremely cold. “Isn’t Miss Yu being a little too presumptuous?”
Yu Luo didn’t seem to be annoyed by her answer. The smile on her lips hadn’t faded as she said in a low voice:
“Actually, I don’t really care about winning or losing the game now—if we lose, we’ll stay in that house tonight, and someone will hold me while I sleep. Thinking about it, that’s not too bad… and Taotao likes that room, too.”
Qi Song pressed her lips together.
What a black-hearted scumbag O, she’s blocked off both paths, win or lose.
Her gaze darkened. She gestured with her eyes toward Yu Luo’s shoulder and said slowly, “You’re saying that if someone holds you while you sleep, you won’t be afraid of the big bug that’s currently on your shoulder?”
Yu Luo, who had been so effortlessly on the offensive just a moment ago, instantly froze. Her eyelashes trembled, her lips stammered, “Really?”
It’s better to believe it might be there than to be certain it’s not.
Qi Song enjoyed her stiffness for a good few seconds before benevolently rescuing her. “It’s fake.”
Yu Luo was slightly taken aback. A moment later, she gave a helpless, light laugh. “Childish.”
Her exceptionally indulgent expression, however, made Qi Song feel uncomfortable.
Little Taotao had no idea about the subtle clash between her Mommy and Mama. Even though it was just a game of words, she still very seriously stretched her little arms and legs, gave her wrists a little twist, and said with a determined look, “I believe in Mommy and Mama!”
Yu Luo bent down and picked up her cub, gently poking her cheek. “We believe in you too.”
The first guests to play the game were the Xiao Hua1 and Fu Po2 group.
The family of three had perfect chemistry, scoring five points in a row and building great momentum.
However, on the sixth question, 「Do you go for a walk in the park on a rainy day?」, the two gave different answers, and the scene instantly became spectacular.
Xiao Hua grabbed the rich woman’s ear. “You know I hate rainy days the most, so why did you choose ‘Yes’?”
She raised her hand as if to wipe away tears. “In those three seconds you had to answer, were you worried I’d be unhappy going out in the rain, or were you dreaming of a romantic stroll in the rain with that O?”
The rich woman cried out that she’d been wronged. “What ‘that O’? I really just pressed the wrong button by accident, the time was too short…”
Their daughter, meanwhile, was clapping and laughing beside them without a care in the world.
The production team was stunned.
Perhaps because of this interlude, the couple spent the remaining questions bickering and only scored one more point. In the end, they earned a total of six points and happily received ten minutes of the cold shoulder.
Next, the Ren Zhi and Jiang Yin group scored seven points, while Li Zhen and his Omega, Wu Ke3, scored four.
After three rounds, everyone felt the difficulty of this game.
Not only were many of the questions themselves nonsensical, but after answering, they still had to get past the child’s guess. It was truly not easy to score points.
Ren Zhi, who had managed to get seven points through a mix of guessing and luck, felt her family’s position was secure. She deliberately provoked them with a smug look, “We’re already prepared to live at the village chief’s house.”
The moment she spoke, before the provoked Yu Luo’s family could even respond, Li Ge, who had just been placated, scrunched up his face and was on the verge of crying again.
Ren Zhi was pinched on the waist by Jiang Yin as a warning, so she clamped her mouth shut.
A staff member handed the answer devices to Qi Song and Yu Luo, reminding them, “Please answer within three seconds. Exceeding the time limit will be counted as a failed answer.”
Taotao stood between the two of them, bouncing energetically. “Go, Mommy and Mama, go!”
Qi Song turned her head to meet Yu Luo’s eyes, feeling completely uncertain.
If they don’t get a single point, their family will be way too embarrassed.
Yu Luo, on the other hand, had an air of breezy indifference, making it unclear whether she was confident of success or had simply accepted any outcome.
The question on the large screen in front of them appeared character by character, accompanied by a Mandarin voiceover for the benefit of the children who couldn’t read.
“Question one: When you sleep at night, do you prefer to sleep on the left or right side of the bed?”
After many years of marriage, most couples would have more or less formed sleeping habits, including ‘who sleeps on the left and who on the right.’ This question should have been very simple.
But Qi Song had never even slept in the same bed as Yu Luo. How would she know which side to sleep on!
There were only three seconds to answer, no time for overthinking or analysis; it all depended on that split-second instinct.
Qi Song chose “Right” just as the last second ticked away.
The moment her fingertip pressed the button, the pressure causing it to depress, a sharp pain pierced her brain, and a short memory fragment suddenly surfaced—
In the hazy image, the Omega’s voice was cool yet tinged with laziness. “From now on, I’ll sleep on the left, okay?”
“Okay,” another voice immediately replied, tinged with a bit of clinginess and indulgence. “But, is there a reason?”
After a moment of silence, the Omega let out a light laugh. Her volume dropped, and her tone became ambiguous and alluring. “My gland is on the right side of my neck. If I sleep on the left…”
“It’s convenient for you to bite.”
…
While Qi Song was stunned by the sudden emergence of the original owner’s memory, the production staff was already asking Taotao:
“Taotao, do you think Mommy’s and Mama’s answers are the same?”
Taotao put her hands on her hips, looking extremely clever. “Of course they’re different!”
“Congratulations, Taotao, for earning one point for your family!”
Taotao jumped up and down happily on the spot and received a praise full of love from Yu Luo. “Good job, cub.”
That voice was clear, gentle, and pleasant. Because she was speaking to her daughter, it was especially gentle; and because they were recording a show, it didn’t lack a certain degree of seriousness and grace.
In short, it was hard to imagine how this same voice could be lowered, made a little hazier, its final tone hooking upwards, to bewitchingly say the words “convenient for you to bite.”
Lost in this contradictory and faintly, strangely warm thought, Qi Song finished the remaining questions without even realizing it.
By the time she came back to her senses, the staff was already congratulating them on scoring ten points and being able to move into the best-conditioned mansion in the village.
And Yu Luo, standing beside her, cast a light glance at her. “If what you call ‘no longer having tacit understanding’ means getting ten points—then I have reason to suspect you didn’t delete those ‘unimportant experiences’ completely.”
“Was it an accident, or were you reluctant to let them go?” she asked softly, yet there was no doubt in her tone, as if she had known the answer all along.
