"I've been a seasoned player in the dating scene for years, Sister Xixi, you don't need to act anymore. I can tell you and your brother-in-law... Let's go, let's stop talking nonsense, Old Yang needs to rest."

Chen Yu pointed at Shen Qingyan, smiled, and helped Old Yang up to get into the car.

He certainly didn't think that the Tongzi in front of him was the same Shen Qingyan who lived in the Great Huang Dynasty before, but judging from Gu Xixi's attitude and the current Shen Qingyan's performance... he was certain that the Shen Qingyan in front of him was the real, completely new Shen Qingyan.

So if he's quick-witted, calling him brother-in-law... is perfectly fine!

Old Yang, who had been puzzled, suddenly realized what was going on, laughed heartily as he got into the car, and chimed in, "You're right, he should definitely be called brother-in-law, hahaha."

Shen Qingyan stood there, looking at Gu Xixi's face. Gu Xixi initially didn't dare to look at him, suppressing a laugh, before finally looking at Shen Qingyan. "What, you seem quite willing to be this substitute?"

Shen Qingyan's eyes saw through everything, but he just chuckled and shook his head indulgently, "As long as you're happy, I'm willing! Let's go, Sister Xixi, your brother-in-law is tired too, he needs to rest."

"You're not even human anymore, do you need to rest too?" Gu Xixi was speechless. Shen Qingyan had turned bad. He would never have teased her like this before. Now he's learned to be cunning, but he still refuses to admit it... But she didn't care.

Shen Qingyan remained silent, only pushing Gu Xixi into the car and helping her sit down.

After everyone was seated, Gu Tingchen drove off. Gu Xixi looked at Old Yang again and said, "You should take a good rest for a while before coming back to work. Your health is the most important thing."

Old Yang is an expert in marine resources, which is very suitable for the mission in the world of merfolk. The world she chose later was not related to this field, which was also the time for Old Yang to rest.

Furthermore, Shen Qingyan just mentioned that Old Yang had been tense all along, but now that he's relaxed, his illness has erupted... This probably means that Old Yang's mental illness has been resolved; he's been tense his whole life... and now he really needs some time to recover.

"Okay, I understand. Why do you young people these days like to worry so much? Do you think I'd work myself to death at my post?"

Old Yang chuckled.

"But I really can't sit still or lie down all the time. How about this, I heard that your family has a vegetable growing base, which is related to my major. How about I stay and rest for a few months?"

Growing up amidst green hills and clear waters is the highest level of relaxation and rejuvenation for the Chinese people.

"Don't ask me, ask the leader. I can't make decisions for you." Gu Xixi wasn't fooled; she wouldn't overstep her authority.

What if Chu Anguo disagrees... but she agrees... that would be terrible.

"You're so clever." Old Yang was speechless. These days, young people are getting harder and harder to fool.

Gu Xixi smiled, then looked at Shen Qingyan on her right. His expression was calm and detached. He noticed that she was looking at him and turned slightly to the side. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." As Gu Xixi spoke, she leaned closer to Shen Qingyan with a smile in her eyes, looking directly into his eyes. "It's just that you look exceptionally handsome today, Lord Shen, and it's hard to look away."

Shen Qingyan's eyes showed a hint of panic, clearly shocked by the straightforward praise.

Of course, there was joy in his eyes, but he tried his best to suppress it, maintaining the coldness of a system—a super-intelligent entity.

But his pause and hesitation in not answering for a long time had already made Chen Yu and Old Yang in the back row start watching the show with wide eyes.

Gu Xixi took in his changing expression and moved closer to him. "Can I keep looking at you?"

Chen Yu: Ahhh!

Gu Xixi used to be a quirky girl, but now that Shen Qingyan has killed her once, she's turned into a female hooligan, right... It's just that Lord Shen is more reserved now.

That makes sense; only a quirky, unconventional, and shameless girl can win over such a cold and reserved beauty.

Now that the two of them are together, Gu Xixi is being extremely shameless, which is just perfect!

Shen Qingyan finally spoke, her calm reply tinged with a barely perceptible tremor at the end of her voice, "You can watch as long as you want, if you wish."

Chen Yu and Old Yang touched the goosebumps that weren't actually there on their bodies, exchanged a knowing smile, and said in unison, "As long as Xixi is willing, we're willing to let you watch over her for the rest of your life, hahaha."

Gu Xixi wasn't embarrassed at all; she just smiled and looked at Shen Qingyan, wondering if her initiative had worked.

Shen Qingyan's figure immediately became transparent and disappeared, so fast that Gu Xixi couldn't even see the expression on his face.

"Xixi, keep going. I think your brother-in-law is just too shy, but there's no rush. Anyway, he's immortal now, so you two have plenty of time." Chen Yu immediately encouraged Gu Xixi.

It's not easy for a reserved and hesitant girl to become so proactive now. He must support her and cheer her on!

Old Yang nodded and gave his final advice as someone with experience: "Actually, I think Xixi, you should do whatever you want, as long as it's in accordance with your heart and follows the natural course of things."

The most important thing in life is to have no regrets or remorse!

"Yeah, I know." Gu Xixi turned around, closed her eyes, and kept thinking to herself: [System Brother? System Brother? Even you supercomputers can be shy? Why are you ignoring me?]

[Shen Qingyan? Little Qingqing? Little Yanyan?]

[Xiao Shen! I'm going to be sad if you ignore me again...]

……

Finally, a helpless reply echoed in my mind: "Xixi, you're tired. Get some rest."

"I'm not tired." Gu Xixi said stubbornly, but she really was tired. After saying that, the car accelerated and the temperature rose, and she involuntarily fell asleep.

In her dream, Gu Xixi sat down on the stone bench in the backyard of the Fa Da Cai Supermarket. In front of her stood the emaciated Shen Qingyan, his earlobes red, solemnly saying, "Miss Xixi, actually, I was outside the supermarket the day you left, but I was just one step too late..."

Gu Xixi's heart pounded again, and she had a premonition... Wait, didn't this scene already happen?

Shen Qingyan was about to say something to her when the system malfunctioned and disappeared... When Shen Qingyan reappeared, his expression had changed...

Why did she suddenly dream about this?!

Gu Xixi was just about to look for clues when Shen Qingyan, who was standing in front of her, uttered the exact same words as before: "Miss Xixi, I..." He suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only the last syllable of "I".

Having learned from the previous dreams, Gu Xixi immediately got up and walked into the mist, wanting to see clearly what the system had said to Shen Qingyan back then!

The fog that she couldn't pass through in reality was now easily accessible to her. She strode forward and caught up with Shen Qingyan's figure.

She walked behind Shen Qingyan and was shocked to see that there was another Shen Qingyan in front of him!
