Scientific Travel

Wang Xi's mouth never stopped the whole way, and her stomach was so full that if Wang Moyu hadn't stopped her, she probably would have eaten until her stomach exploded.

Back when they were at the Zou residence, Physician Wang had already told Wang Moyu everything about Deng Yin. He explained in detail everything, from displaying divine punishment in the street to his defiance of the Imperial Preceptor.

When Wang Moyu first met Deng Yin, she was all alone and seemed much quieter than the other children, always a step behind in everything she did. At first, Wang Moyu thought the child had some kind of defect, but after getting to know her better, she realized that she was just slow to warm up.

Wang Moyu didn't believe in ghosts, gods, or supernatural powers, but the fact that Deng Yin could conjure such a large carriage out of thin air left her no choice but to believe it.

The temperature is too high now; people sweat profusely after just a few minutes indoors, so Deng Yin has them stay in the basement.

This was Wang Xi's first time here, and she was extremely excited throughout, wanting to visit every room.

Dinner was prepared by Li Pingle. Wang Moyu was still seriously ill, so he cooked dishes that were on the lighter side.

Fearing it would affect her appetite, Li Pingle ate alone in her room.

Wang Moyu didn't even glance at him the whole time. There was a whole table of dishes, all of which were her favorite foods, but she barely ate a few bites.

During the meal, Wang Xi kept asking her father why he wasn't eating at the table, but Wang Moyu didn't answer.

Li Pingle and Wang Moyu each had their own room. Wang Xi originally wanted to live with them, but in the end, she settled for living with Deng Yin instead.

The night was short; it felt like the sun had risen the moment I closed my eyes.

But for some, it's a very long time...

Li Pingle tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

He was very experienced in how to coax Wang Moyu.

First, you must act pitiful; Wang Moyu is most susceptible to this.

First, go along with her wishes and don't wander around in front of her. Only appear when you're showing your side of suffering.

For example, when he was riding in the carriage today, what he was sweating was not just sweat, but also the key reason why Wang Moyu felt sorry for him.

Secondly, wait a couple of days until the anger subsides a bit before launching a fierce attack.

A fierce offensive involves apologizing profusely, observing her reactions, and doing what she wants to do for her before she even realizes it. No matter how far or difficult it is, you must personally get what she desires.

Finally, after these two steps, Wang Moyu usually calms down.

If you're still not appeased, then you'll have to resort to your trump card...

However, it's called a killer weapon because it's very precious and also has side effects on oneself.

If you use your trump card too many times, it becomes less effective.

Therefore, Li Pingle strictly controls the number of times he uses his trump card. He usually only uses it once if he makes her angry three times.

They've lived together for four years, and Li Pingle has used her trump card twice before. This is the third time, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

This time, the severity of what angered her was greater than the previous times combined, and Li Pingle spent the entire night planning out exactly what to do.

Everything else is fine, but the trump card...

He's probably not up to it...

For three consecutive days, Wang Moyu's attitude did not soften at all; she chose to avoid any occasions where Li Pingle appeared.

Wang Xi had just experienced a life-or-death situation, and immediately faced her parents arguing. No matter how mature a child is, she wouldn't know what exactly happened between the two of them this time.

Deng Yin's CPU was about to burn out. She had never experienced anything like this before, let alone knew how to make the two of them reconcile.

In short, the atmosphere in the basement has been very tense these past few days. There's no laughter or cheerful conversation, and not even loud talking.

When it comes to matters of the heart, Deng Yin has an expert by his side.

"Tongtong, what do you suggest I do to get them back together?"

She only calls Tongtong when she needs help.

But the system didn't care at all, and with an air of "you finally realize my importance," it began to talk incessantly to Deng Yin: "Isn't this easy to handle? The one who tied the knot must untie it. Since Wang Moyu is angry because Li Pingle went out to sell himself, then you should let her put herself in his shoes and think about what other options he has besides selling himself in this situation."

Deng Yin said with a look of disgust, "Although the words are rough but the principle is correct, your words are too rough."

The system, beaming with pride, said, "You humans are so pedantic. Unlike us systems, we speak directly and never beat around the bush."

Deng Yin complained, but he still did as the system told him to do.

After hearing Deng Yin's question, Wang Moyu answered without even thinking, "If I were him, I would choose not to save him after realizing that I couldn't save him."

"Huh?" Deng Yin looked surprised; she had never expected this answer. "Then aren't you very disappointed in him?"

"Why should I be disappointed? I should be disappointed that he saved me this way." Wang Moyu's voice sounded weak, but for some reason, Deng Yin sensed a firmness in it.

“If I were him, I would live well and raise Wang Xi to adulthood. Only after she is able to live on her own will I try to kill Zou Guangyu.”

"If one person's life is bought with the sacrifice of another, then the lives of both people have lost their meaning."

"No matter who I compare myself to, I love myself the most."

"I can die to avenge him, but I cannot die to save him."

"When one person dies for another, what difference is there between the living and the dead?"

Deng Yin didn't say a word, he just listened silently.

The lights outside flickered, casting dark shadows on the ground.
