"Hmm, that's very likely."
Himeko walked over carrying a glass of warm water, her crimson hair draped casually over her shoulders. Her features carried a touch of mature allure. She nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Su Mu as her lips curled into a meaningful, playful smile. Her voice was gentle yet teasing.
"Speaking of which, we're actually being a bit of a nuisance to our darling right now. After all, if we weren't around, they would probably be much more direct. They wouldn't be sending such roundabout invitations. Should we make up an excuse? Say we have things to do and let you go to the 'appointment' alone? If so, Darling, you might have a truly wonderful and unforgettable night~"
"That sounds reasonable, but ultimately, he can only choose one," Fu Hua added from the side. She sat with a poised, upright posture, her plain attire highlighting her cool and aloof temperament, though a hint of subtle tenderness was hidden deep in her eyes. She pushed up her glasses and began to analyze the situation calmly.
"In that case, Misaki and Yui are the optimal choice. Since they are mother and daughter, securing them both would allow him to unlock the 'Mother-Daughter' achievement. As for Anna, like Misaki, she is a gentle and virtuous widow with a unique aura; she would surely offer Husband a different kind of experience. Then there's Alice and Lilia—having been tamed, they've become exceptionally obedient and submissive. Perhaps they could play some... special little games with Husband. And as for Sylphie... if Husband uses the 'life-saving debt' as an excuse to take all four of them at once, a 'quadruple play' doesn't seem impossible."
"You guys..." Su Mu laughed helplessly and shook his head. He reached out and pulled March 7th, Hu Tao, Himeko, and Fu Hua all into his arms, holding them tightly. His voice was tender. "While your suggestions are all excellent and very tempting, to me, being with you four is the most wonderful and unforgettable night I could ask for."
"Eww So cheesy"
March 7th snuggled into Su Mu's embrace, wrinkling her nose playfully. Her tone was mocking, but a sweet, radiant smile spread across her face, her eyes brimming with happiness.
"Exactly, exactly!" Hu Tao chimed in, reaching out to poke Su Mu's chest. Her voice was perky. "Saying such sappy things to your own self... that's super perverted!"
"But it's the truth, isn't it?" Himeko leaned against Su Mu's shoulder, her tone gentle and suggestive as her fingertips traced lightly over his arm. "After all, we are the ones who understand you best. Everything we do is exactly what you want most, isn't it, Darling?"
"Heh, so you're really not going? Not even to one of them?" Fu Hua let out a soft laugh. "It would be a real shame if you missed out on something fun~"
Held tightly in Su Mu's arms, the four of them couldn't help but chuckle. Their voices were filled with banter and affection, and the atmosphere in the room turned warm and intimate, ringing with laughter.
"Yeah, I'm not going to any of them." Su Mu nodded slightly, looking down to plant a gentle kiss on each of their faces. His tone was firm yet loving. "March, go give them a call back. Just say that other tenants also happened to invite us and we simply can't split ourselves enough ways to attend. Also, tell them that gold coins aren't easy for anyone to earn, so they don't need to go out of their way to prepare dinner for us. We'll all get together when there's time in the future."
"Then I'm really going to make the calls~" March 7th looked up into Su Mu's eyes, a mischievous smile on her face. Her voice was teasing. "Husband, are you sure you can bear to let it go? So many beauties inviting you... aren't you even a little tempted?"
"Of course I'm reluctant," Su Mu laughed, reaching out to gently pinch March 7th's cheek. His tone was doting. "But the ones I'm most reluctant to leave are you four. After all, you are my favorites. As the saying goes, to love others, one must love oneself first, right?"
"Hehe Husband is right"
March 7th laughed and pecked Su Mu quickly on the cheek. Then, she skipped away to return the calls, her movements light and her face glowing with a happy smile.
Before long, March 7th finished the calls and skipped back to Su Mu's side, snuggling back into his arms. With a sly smile, she whispered affectionately, "Husband I've finished the calls! Misaki-san, Anna-san, and Lilia all sounded quite disappointed when they heard we couldn't come. They sounded so pitiful"
She paused, the mischief in her eyes intensifying as she continued, "However, Doris didn't say much and didn't seem disappointed. But she did say that you must visit their room once after dinner, Husband. She said they want to discuss the matter Sylphie promised you earlier. Husband, you can't really refuse this time, can you?"
March 7th poked Su Mu's chest again, a playful smirk on her face. Her tone was mocking. "What do you think, Husband? When the time comes, do you want to actually try Sister Fu Hua's idea? Go there, take all four of them, and achieve the 'quadruple play' milestone? It might actually work, you know~"
"We'll see when the time comes."
Su Mu laughed softly, his tone casual. He neither explicitly agreed nor refused.
In his heart, he had already made up his mind. Sylphie had promised him before that she would repay his life-saving grace in her own way; he naturally had no reason to refuse that payment. If he went over and Sylphie and the other three tried to suggest someone else "repay" him in her stead, he could accept that. But if they tried to use excuses to block him from receiving his reward entirely, then he wouldn't mind trying Fu Hua's suggestion and seeing if a "quadruple play" was truly feasible.
After all, for the current tenants in the apartment, Su Mu's feelings toward them were ultimately just the level of liking one has for an anime character—fresh and passionate, but not yet at the stage of deep, inescapable love.
As a man who had been a shut-in for years, the one he loved most had always been himself. Therefore, no matter what kind of tenants moved in, no matter how excellent or beautiful they were, it was impossible for his feelings for them to surpass his love for himself—which meant they could never surpass his care for March 7th and the others. After all, those four were, in essence, himself. They were the ones who understood him best and could satisfy his every need.
"Then Fu Hua and I will go to the kitchen to prepare dinner," Himeko said, looking at Su Mu with a warm, gentle smile.
