Chapter 50: Mobius Being Direct
The three-hour-long movie was over. After the hidden post-credits scene, a long list of acknowledgments scrolled by. The lights came on in the theater.
Director: Yàqīng Schariac.
Voice Director: Shab Niggurath.
Special Effects: Cheng Lixue, Frederica Nikola Tesla, Salome Jokanaan, Yàqīng Schariac...
Character Modeling: Patrick Highsmith, Lieserl Albert Einstein...
Screenwriter: Welt Yang
"Pfft!" Seeing only his name in the screenwriter credit, Welt, who had just taken a sip of water, spat it all out.
"What the hell?" Welt was stunned. Not just him, everyone from Anti-Entropy was stunned. Even Dr. Einstein couldn't understand Yàqīng's move. Why would he attribute a perfect movie to Welt's name?
Welt Yang suddenly had a very bad feeling.
In the large living room on the first floor of the Golden Courtyard, everyone looked at Yàqīng strangely. Yàqīng stretched and said, "He himself wanted to be the screenwriter. I was just doing him a favor. It also frees me up to create."
"Heh heh." Kevin gave an awkward laugh, took MEI's hand, and prepared to take her out on a date on their rare day off.
"Brother Kalpas, we won't be back for dinner tonight," MEI said to Kalpas.
The five-star chef, Kalpas, who was in charge of dinner, nodded in acknowledgment.
Yàqīng suddenly spoke up, "Just not back for dinner?"
In an instant, he attracted everyone's attention. Kevin, who was already used to it, held onto MEI's hand, which was trying to pull away, and instead taunted Yàqīng, "Yàqīng, you singles wouldn't understand us."
"Heh heh." Yàqīng was dismissive.
"Professor Mobius, want to go shopping with Elysia~ ♥?" Elysia took Mobius's arm and swung it back and forth.
Mobius quickly pulled her arm away and yawned. "Elysia, you should find someone else. With this time, I'd rather do an experiment. I think MEI and her little follower would be happy to take you with them."
Elysia pouted. "Miss Pink Elf♪ doesn't want to be a third wheel."
"Then that has nothing to do with me," Mobius said, yawning as she went upstairs to her room.
Yàqīng sat on the sofa, took out his phone, and searched for reviews of the movie. They were all overwhelmingly positive, with the movie even getting a score of 9.8. As he was looking at photos from the premiere, Elysia had snuck up beside him at some point.
Elysia's eyes sparkled as she looked at the women walking the red carpet under the flashing lights. She suddenly started talking to herself. "Elysia really wants to walk the red carpet~ ♥ Elysia really wants to attend a premiere~ ♥"
Yàqīng said helplessly, "Ely, I don't even want to attend my own movie premieres. Otherwise, why would I be cooped up in the Courtyard watching the movie?"
"Mmm..." Elysia sat next to Yàqīng, sighing from time to time.
Yàqīng really couldn't stand Elysia's feigned negativity, so he promised that for the next movie premiere, he would let Elysia be his date. Only then did she stop.
Elysia left with a bright smile.
Now it was Yàqīng's turn to sigh. He rubbed the small, chubby cat with orange-gray fur that was lying on the sofa. Can tilted its head and meowed a few times.
"Meow~"
Can was usually fed very well, so its fur was glossy and smooth, and felt wonderful to the touch. At times like this, Can would lie on the sofa and sleep. It wouldn't object when someone petted it, only meowing and rolling over.
Yàqīng stood up. Under Kalpas's unfriendly gaze, he took a can of cola and a bag of chips from the fridge, sat back on the sofa, and called Aunt Kallen on his phone.
In Otto and Kallen's Little Love Nest, Kallen was listlessly watching a mass-produced soap opera. Hearing her phone ring, she searched for a long time before finding it at the foot of the bed. She picked it up with her toes.
"Hello, little Yàqīng~."
Kallen's voice was as sweet as ever. It seemed she wasn't with Otto.
"Aunt... Sister Kallen, how was the movie? Did it meet your expectations?" Yàqīng tore open the bag of chips and threw a few into his mouth.
"It was very good, a wonderful story. Little Yàqīng, the movie is a series, right? So there should be a sequel. You have to make it soon." Kallen couldn't find any more snacks, so she had sent Otto out to restock.
"I know, Sister Kallen."
"By the way, little Yàqīng, are you coming home for Christmas this year?"
"It depends on the situation. I don't know if I'll have time to go back, but if I do, I'll definitely come see you."
Kallen and Yàqīng chatted for another ten minutes or so before hanging up. Yàqīng stood up to go to the bathroom and unexpectedly ran into Mobius coming down the stairs.
Mobius seemed to have forgotten she was wearing a skirt suit. She leaned against the railing, looking down at Yàqīng. So much so that Yàqīng only had to look up to see...
Yàqīng only glanced once and didn't dare to look up again. He looked at the full-length mirror at the bottom of the stairs and asked, puzzled, "Senior Mobius, are you going to the lab to do experiments?"
"If I do an experiment, are you willing to be my guinea pig?" Wearing a tight white shirt and a skirt suit that reached her thighs, her long, slender legs wrapped in black stockings, she walked down the stairs, her beautiful eyes looking at Yàqīng.
"Senior..." Yàqīng was very uncomfortable with Mobius's gaze, which was a mix of curiosity and something else. He couldn't help but take a few steps back.
But Mobius took a few steps closer. When Yàqīng was backed against a wall, Mobius reached out a hand and pinned him to the wall, leaving him with no way to escape. Her pretty face leaned in close, and she said, "I'm really curious. Are you really not interested in women?"
Before Yàqīng could reply, he caught sight of a shocked Elysia. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Elysia shout, "Everyone, come quick! Mobius is finally making her move! It's a kabedon! Miss Pink Elf♪ wants Professor Mobius to kabedon her too~"
Hearing Elysia's shout, everyone in the Courtyard couldn't help but poke their heads out. Even Kalpas, who was cooking, came out to see the commotion without even taking off his apron.
Mobius pretended to be calm, turned around, and walked away.
"I suddenly think Elysia's suggestion is very good. It's time to go out for a walk. So..." Mobius looked at Yàqīng with a half-smile.
Just as Yàqīng was about to pretend he didn't see, he was pushed out of the Courtyard from behind by Elysia. With this backstab, Elysia even winked, feeling she had done a great job.
"Senior Mobius, where do you want to go?" Yàqīng said helplessly.
"Anywhere."
Yàqīng headed to the underground garage.
