How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"..."

"Okay, okay, let's see the final result."

Hong Li held the recording stone in her hand, infused it with spiritual power, and the image was revealed, showing Hei Yang's comical expression.

"Not bad, isn't it?"

Hei Yang looked very serious.

"Not bad my foot!"

A tic-tac-toe sign appeared on Hong Li's forehead as she said speechlessly, "This is completely different from what I expected! I really angered you so much, and you're actually this good-natured...?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

Hei Yang reached out and said in an unyielding tone, "If you want to play, I'll play along. Now let me see!"

"Um, just, can I take a look?"

"Ok?"

Hei Yang raised an eyebrow: "I wasn't curious at first, but the more you hide it, the more I want to see."

"Ah this..."

Hong Li let out a long breath, gave a soft hum, and slapped the notebook into Hei Yang's hand.

"Alright, alright, here you go, are you satisfied now!"

"That's pretty much it."

Hei Yang opened the notebook, but he couldn't hold back his emotions after just the first page.

[A collection of cleverly chosen insults to curse Hei Yang—recorded by Xiao Li.]

Page 2...

【1, ******** 2, ******** 3, ******】

Hei Yang, his face dark, quickly scanned it, sighed with a complicated expression, and casually tossed it in front of Hong Li.

"I'll give it back to you, I really have nothing to say. Hongli, you're my brother, you're my sister. I admit I raised my voice a bit before, please don't scold me!"

"Unfortunately, I'm still a notch below you when it comes to being sarcastic and unsettling."

Hong Li carefully put away the notebook like a precious treasure, looking displeased: "You've seen all my achievements over the past few months, how am I supposed to deliver a killer blow now!"

"I suspect you have more than one notebook; this one is too new."

"Nonsense, of course I have several more. You know, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, right?"

And it's not all targeted at you; there's also a special section on horse hunting, quotes about the disappearance of family trees, and a complete collection of slang..."

"Can you write down something serious, something positive, optimistic, and cheerful?"

"To fill in the gaps, I only remember what I think is useful!"

Hongli pointed to herself triumphantly.

I once read a sentence in a book that said women are a difficult book to understand.

If that's the case, then I have more than just one book! See that enormous collection in my study? I'm practically a study full of incomprehensible books, hahaha!

"Uh, those kinds of books that can't be described..."

Hei Yang's lips twitched: "Is it you too?"

"Ah this..."

Two blushes crept across Hong Li's otherwise serious face as she pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "Of course, they can be very helpful in guiding married life; you could almost call them reference books, right?"

"..."

Hei Yang paused for a moment, then smiled.

"I can finish reading all the books in the study sooner or later if I want to. You yourself are the book that I need to read for the rest of my life."

"Ha, well, you don't need to tell me, I already knew that, hahaha!"

"Stubbornly insisting on talking the talk."

"I didn't! Um..."

Okay, it's not very hard.

January 18th, sunny. Hei Yang Hong Li spent the whole day reading at home and benefited greatly.

That's right, they really love learning!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 286 The night brings tranquility, calming the mind, though sometimes hunger lingers, along with a touch of melancholy.

"Phew, wasn't that a wonderful trip?"

Hong Li closed the book, let out a long breath, and sighed softly.

"A wonderful story, superb writing; I may never be able to write like this in my entire life."

"I've decided. I'll put this book on the Red Glass's curated selection shelf, and I'll definitely reread it a second and third time in a while!"

"Hey, you bastard, get your hand off me! Your dad still has seven pages to read!"

Hei Yang slapped Hong Li's hand away, pulled all the books to his side, and didn't forget to complain: "Besides, what do you mean by not being able to write such words? What kind of writing do you have besides those little swear words and diary entries?"

Think about my diary again. At least it used metaphors and other rhetorical devices, as well as descriptions of the environment and the mind. That's the difference, okay? My great, talented woman!

"Hmph, just whining without reason. The simpler the words, the more they resonate with people. People are too lazy to even finish reading long and complicated articles."

Hongli was munching on sesame candy, keeping one hand under her mouth to prevent sesame seeds from falling all over the bed. When she heard Heiyang's words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Besides, what does 'little dirty talk' even mean? Who are you looking down on?!"

Sister Hongli, remember those shameless, vulgar, filthy, and evil curses that could make you cry!

"If you make me cry, I'll tell your parents!"

"Damn, what little brat? You're just a childish brat."

Hong Li's lips twitched, and she tilted her head back to pour the sesame seeds in her hand into her mouth, filling it with fragrance.

"Do you need spoilers? Let me tell you, that silver-haired, cold-faced man died. In my opinion, it was purely a plot device. I knew that falling for this kind of career-oriented female lead wouldn't end well."

It's probably better that he died, otherwise the author might write a sequel about power struggles and intrigue before the throne... Hmm, that sounds pretty good too.

"Shut up, woman! Stop spoiling the plot! You've angered Prince Black Sun!"

"There's something wrong."

Hong Li glanced at Hei Yang, looked out the window at the somewhat dim sky, yawned, and softly stated the facts.

"Black Sun, we've been lying in bed all day."

"What's this?"

Hei Yang had already read the second to last page. Hong Li was right; it was indeed a plot-driven death. Given his "cold-faced man" persona, he shouldn't have made such a basic mistake, yet he still died so easily. It felt like a blunder.

Hmm, but thinking about it, it seems to express the contrast of death coming suddenly and catching people off guard.

"Is it strange for us to lie in bed all day? It's perfectly normal."

"I know, I know, I'm just feeling a bit wistful."

Hongli said in a daze, "If it were a year or two ago, we might be sitting together in some quiet corner or at a tavern table, daydreaming and talking about trivial things."

As night fell, they said goodbye and went home, waiting for the next tomorrow.

Back then, I would sometimes wonder if there would come a day when I wouldn't have to say goodbye to you after it gets dark?

"Look, what you see is that idea has now become a reality."

"Look, look, we've been exposed!"

Hei Yang said smugly, "So, a certain girl was already smitten back then, wasn't she?"

But I can understand it. After all, Hei Yang is too charming and a high-quality resource. If I were a girl, I would want to marry myself.

Too bad you beat me to it, how awful!

"Ha, they've lost all sense of shame."

Hongli stretched out an arm and hooked it around Heiyang's neck, putting her arm around his shoulder like a good buddy, pretending to be frivolous.

"Didn't you ever think about using sweet talk to lure that girl to your home on some evening when you're about to part ways... Hmm, maybe she'll forgive you afterwards?"

"You think you can just forgive me like that? Do you think you're Hong Li? What do you mean by instigating a crime!"

"Meow meow meow?"

A bunch of question marks popped up above Hong Li's head.

"I'm not Hong Li? I'm not Hong Li? I'm not Hong Li?"

"Then do you think I can wait until you forgive me?"

"Uh, you should have already been hung up on the roof and spanked by your parents before that."
