I'm crazy, don't mess with me. I just love to pretend to be crazy, remember that.

In any case, her mission was successfully completed.

[Mission successful. Host, you should return now.]

Si Qian does not belong to this time and space, so going back is inevitable.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Although she had made preparations long ago, Si Qian still felt sad and melancholy when the day of parting actually arrived.

She looked at Xiao Pei, who was sitting next to her drinking a beverage, and asked the system with a heavy heart.

"Will they forget me after I leave?"

[This part of everyone's memory of you will be automatically replaced with that of an insignificant NPC.]

The world will not leave any trace of her.

The older sister who grew up with Pei Li and with whom he had a deep bond will only be a Pei family nanny whose face he can't even remember in his memory.

The details of their interactions will be deliberately blurred, and childhood memories will fade over time.

After Si Qian leaves, this timeline will continue to unfold according to the pre-set storyline.

1748 doesn't understand human emotions: [Was it worth it? You wasted ten years, only to have him forget you in the end.]

Si Qian did not give a direct answer to 1748, but only asked.

Will each of my identities in this timeline be replaced by a different NPC?

If I remember correctly, over the years I've worked as a security guard, a cook, a cleaner, and even a master chef at the Pei family's residence...

The sheer number of her various identities is too many to count on two hands.

If each identity were replaced with an NPC, there would be dozens of them.

It's a long story: [...Yes, it will.]

The world of transmigrated novels has its own great teacher, Daqian.

Si Qian waved her hand dismissively.

"That's fine. He doesn't need to know that this person is me. It's enough that he has so many people who love him in his memory."

If you don't remember, you don't remember.

Every identity she has has been born out of love.

His childhood was no longer lonely.

Having spent half his life in entrepreneurship, the most profitable deal Si Qian ever made was exchanging ten hours of his time for Pei Li's ten years.

Sobbing and wiping away tears: "This is so touching. When I'm little, I want to be loved too."

1748 slapped him across the face in disgust from afar.

【Shut up!】

Feeling wronged: [Oh.]

1748 didn't forget the important matter: "The two of us will take you back now."

"Huh? So fast? Can you give me some time to leave my last words?!"

?

Before he could finish speaking, a familiar white light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

-

When she opened her eyes again, Si Qian was back.

The familiar apartment, the familiar bedroom.

It took my brain thirty seconds to boot up and process the past decade.

He instantly snapped awake, sprang up in bed, and immediately reached for his phone on the bedside table.

Opening screen: 1:07 PM.

I really slept for ten hours!

I glanced to my side and found that the seat next to me was empty.

And the bed was cold.

"What about people?"

If she remembered correctly, she slept with Pei Li last night.

Huh?

Where did everyone go so early in the morning... so late at night?

Si Qian got out of bed, pulled back the curtains, and hurriedly put on her flip-flops before heading outside.

As soon as I opened the door, the aroma of food wafted out.

Having been hungry all day, she sniffed and stood outside the kitchen where a turtle peeked out.

The muscle memory hadn't been broken yet, and it just slipped out—

"Honey, what are you doing?"

Pei Li, who was cooking noodles for Si Qian in the kitchen, heard the noise and turned around. He saw Si Qian peering through the door frame, so he put down his chopsticks and went over.

He leaned slightly to meet Si Qian's gaze, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and the tenderness in his eyes was obvious: "Mr. Crab, what did you just call me?"

I misspoke...

However, Si Qian didn't correct him. Instead, just like she did fourteen years ago, she reached out and pinched his cheek generously, saying:

"Call me baby!"

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that someone was acting very differently today.

The shirt collar was open, the sleeves were rolled up, the small rubber band on the wrist was noticeable, and gold-rimmed glasses were a must.

Even someone as dense as her could tell that this was a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Isn't it inappropriate to go on a relationship right after getting the marriage certificate?

Pei Li smiled and replied with a smile, "Yes, my darling is cooking for you."

As he spoke, he held Si Qian's head and tilted his head to kiss her lips.

"Snail rice noodles?"

"Yes, I'll put the cilantro on it for you later."

"I don't want cilantro anymore, give me sausage and an egg!"

"Okay, you go to the living room first."

Si Qian made a heart shape with her hands and happily went out.

The weather was nice today, so she sat down at the small round table on the balcony, basking in the sun and opening her phone.

Because of the official announcement, Weibo was stuck from yesterday until today when the servers finally recovered.

The couple's fan page was as lively as during Chinese New Year.

There were raffles and red envelopes everywhere.

Even the notoriously stingy Director Wu generously donated 20,000 yuan to the "Losing Money CP" supertopic in the early hours of the morning to celebrate.

Mei Qian also suffered a major financial loss.

Si Qian was moved.

She secretly transferred 50,000 yuan to Director Wu.

Then the bank card showed insufficient balance.

"?"

After persistently trying three different cards, Si Qian finally succeeded in making the payment.

It's really strange, she feels like she's a mythical creature that can't keep money no matter what.

Every time I earn money, I always end up spending it in unexpected ways.

Finally, the kind-hearted person remembered something very important.

[Host, the fact that you used the time difference to have Shen Peiyue purchase a large number of properties and collectibles in another timeline violated the order of time and space. Therefore, this money will be deducted from your current self in various ways.]

Si Qian: "?"

So is this the real reason why she hasn't been able to save any money over the years?

She always thought she wasn't cut out for business.

Si Qian asked unwillingly, "Then why does it still want me to make money?"

She just kept losing money, then made a little money, and then started losing again.

How can they deduct money from your account if you don't make any?

That makes a lot of sense.

Si Qian smiled.

Laughed in anger.

Is this a case of karma and retribution?

[Host, what goes around comes around.]

If she were just making a little money, that would be one thing.

But she earned so much that she couldn't hide it anymore.

Si Qian raised a middle finger to the sky with a deathly smile.

"They've used all sorts of underhanded tricks on ordinary people."

He trembled and dared not speak.

After cursing her boss, Si Qian asked it, "Are you leaving now?"

They initially said they would leave once they completed their mission.

Now that its mission is complete, is it about to leave?

[Host, do you really want me to leave?]

Si Qian: "I..."

Before he could even utter a word, he suddenly became assertive.

You want me to leave? I'm not leaving!

The rebellious one has now learned the essence of Si Qian's teachings.

A person lives for their reputation, just as a tree lives for its bark.

The leader is shameless, despicable, and utterly invincible!
