Jiang Zheyu left under the cover of moonlight.

"Let’s go. We can’t stay here." Yin Si took Yin Xuan’s hand and headed toward a dark alley in the distance.

Yin Xuan pulled his hand away from his brother’s, suddenly ran over to a spot, picked up a pink bobby pin, and clutched it in his palm.

"What’s wrong?" Yin Si asked, walking over in confusion.

Yin Xuan quickly stuffed the pink bobby pin into his pocket. He stood up, met Yin Si’s gaze, and slowly shook his head, his calm, amethyst-gold eyes fixed on his brother.

Yin Si was gravely injured and didn’t notice his younger brother’s actions. He just said faintly, "Let’s go."

The two of them left together. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Jiang Zheyu also snuck back into her villa through the rear entrance.

She hurriedly had Xiaoyi take her clothes to be washed. After a long bath and her skincare routine, she could finally get a good night’s sleep.

Jiang Zheyu slept straight through until the next afternoon.

After waking up, she decided to take it easy for the rest of the day.

As Jiang Zheyu drank her nutrient solution, she was once again struck by an inconvenient thought about her grand, money-making plans. So far, she hadn’t implemented a single one!

She resolved to start immediately tomorrow!

’Someone has to pioneer the exploration and development of interstellar cuisine,’ she thought. She could provide the menus and then find a Beastman with a talent for it. ’That owner of the forest cake shop seems pretty gifted. I’ll let him take the lead. Eventually, more culinary masters will emerge and improve this barren interstellar menu. I really don’t want to drink nutrient solution anymore!’

Feeling like crying but having no tears to shed, Jiang Zheyu finished her nutrient solution.

As she threw away the glass nutrient solution bottle, she saw the trash can and was again inconveniently reminded of yesterday’s pervert.

Jiang Zheyu hurriedly checked the surveillance footage again. ’Did that pervert come today?’

And she discovered that the pervert had indeed come again this morning.

But this time, he didn’t rifle through her trash right next to the can.

Instead, he acted like an ordinary sanitation Beastman, collecting the trash and then leaving.

’But there’s no guarantee what that pervert will do with the trash after collecting it,’ she thought.

Jiang Zheyu didn’t know if the guy would be back tomorrow, but she sent the surveillance footage to Feng Qi anyway.

As the officer in charge of patrolling the entire Imperial Capital Star and protecting the safety of its females, catching a few stalking, perverted Beastmen should fall under his duties.

However, Jiang Zheyu didn’t send the footage from yesterday of the pervert bowing his head to sniff her things. After all, it was her underwear. ’It would be so awkward to send that to another Beastman to see,’ she thought.

So, she only sent this morning’s footage.

Yu Yu: Captain Qi, this Beastman is acting suspiciously outside my villa. Could you please arrest him? I think he’s up to no good.

In truth, judging from this morning’s footage, the Beastman looked like a normal sanitation worker. There was nothing obviously suspicious about him.

But Feng Qi still replied: Alright, I’ll go check this Beastman out.

Feng Qi: That guy Su Yan isn’t around. If you need anything, you can come to me. Don’t be afraid to bother me.

Jiang Zheyu paused when she saw this message, but still replied: Thank you, Captain Qi.

She thought the conversation would end there, but Feng Qi sent another message.

Feng Qi: Mm, I checked. The weather will be great tomorrow.

Yu Yu: ?

Feng Qi: I’m hinting that the weather tomorrow will be perfect for a date. Don’t forget.

Jiang Zheyu: ...

’Isn’t that just a blatant reminder?’ she thought.

But Jiang Zheyu had indeed forgotten that she had a date with Feng Qi...

She had wanted to work on her money-making plan tomorrow, but it would have to be postponed again.

Jiang Zheyu sighed softly.

Yu Yu: Okay, see you tomorrow.

Feng Qi: Good. See you tomorrow.

Just as she was about to put down her Light Brain, another message came in.

But it wasn’t from Feng Qi.

Zexun: Miss Jiang, I’ve been waiting for a long time but still haven’t seen a picture of the pink roses. So I had to give you a little nudge.

Zexun: sad_red_fox.jpg

Jiang Zheyu paused. She had taken a picture of the pink roses but had forgotten to send it to Zexun.

She quickly sent it over.

Yu Yu: Sorry, I took it a while ago but forgot to send it.

Zexun: It’s very beautiful. I’m talking about the person holding the flowers.

Zexun: red_fox_shooting_hearts.jpg

Jiang Zheyu realized this Chief Judge was very fond of sending chibi-style little fox emojis.

She smiled and replied: The flowers you sent are very beautiful too.

Zexun: Miss Jiang, in that case, are you free tomorrow for the second half of our museum tour?

Jiang Zheyu saw the message.

’I already have a date with Feng Qi at two in the afternoon tomorrow. Now Zexun is asking me out for tomorrow too. If I go, I can only make it in the morning.’

A bitter smile touched the corners of Jiang Zheyu’s mouth. She really didn’t want to be matched with a Beast Mate right now. With the Star Emperor’s promise, she was no longer being forced into a match.

She steeled herself. ’It’s just two dates in one day!’

’I managed two last time, I can do it again.’

’Once I’ve paid back these social debts, I can find all sorts of excuses to turn down dates like these in the future.’

So, Jiang Zheyu replied to Zexun: How about nine in the morning tomorrow again?

Zexun replied: Of course, Miss Jiang.

Zexun: starry_eyed_little_fox.jpg

Jiang Zheyu was worried he would show up bright and early again tomorrow.

Yu Yu: Tomorrow morning, Mr. Ze, you can arrive right on time.

’I actually want to sleep in a little,’ she thought. ’If Zexun comes too early, I’ll have to get up at the crack of dawn.’

A moment later, Zexun replied: Okay, see you tomorrow!

Yu Yu: Okay!

Jiang Zheyu sighed. Someone else had messaged her. ’Why are there still more messages?’

She looked and saw it was a friend request.

Jiang Zheyu remembered. This was one of the top-fifty donating Beastmen she had added during her livestreams.

This Beastman sent her crazy, perverted messages every day. He was one of that group who claimed they would still love her even if she were vicious, even if she committed murder and arson.

The others had given up after being rejected and blocked a few times.

But this one was the most persistent, using a different virtual Light Brain account to add her every day.

Jiang Zheyu was about to block him again, but when she saw the verification message, she froze.

Verification Message:

Baby, why did you block me? I really love you, please don’t ignore me, okay?

Baby, so you like the pink panties from Meici’s? So cute, baby. I’ve already bought 520 pairs of pink panties for my baby. You’ll receive them tomorrow.

Baby, I really want to see you wear them for me.

...

Baby, why did you stop livestreaming? I really want to see my baby dance.

...

Baby, why did you go to the Female Matching Center? Don’t be with other Beastmen, okay? I really want to sneak my baby out of there soon...

Baby, I love you...

...

Baby, your waist is so slender. It looks perfect to hold.

...

Baby, I miss my baby so much. Please accept my request, baby, okay...

...

Baby, how did you get into the Imperial Palace? Looks like I’ll have to think of a good way to sneak my baby out...

A single friend request contained hundreds of messages.

Jiang Zheyu saw the word "baby" so many times that she felt like she didn’t even recognize it anymore.

From this message, she understood. This pervert was the same pervert who had been stalking her!
