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

That was close!

I almost misspoke.

Fortunately, Pei Li was focused on driving and did not notice anything unusual.

After providing an address, Si Qian searched for and located the location on the navigation app.

Fourteen years have passed, and everything has changed.

Shen Peiyue's grave has been moved several times, and now even Si Qian can't remember where it is.

She bought flowers when she passed by a flower shop, choosing white lisianthus, and asked the shopkeeper to wrap them into a small hand-held bouquet, then adorned it with pearls and ribbons.

It has a very simple and refreshing style.

It's a style that girls will like at first glance.

Even if you don't like it, this won't go wrong.

She thought that Shen Peiyue would like it because of her personality.

Upon arriving at the cemetery, Si Qian, led by Pei Li, found Shen Pei Yue's tombstone.

There was no epitaph, only a few simple words on it—

The Tomb of Shen Peiyue.

There was nothing superfluous or redundant; she was as clean and simple as she was.

They came into this world innocent and pure, and they left all alone.

Si Qian placed the flowers in her hand in front of the tombstone.

With a heavy heart, Pei Li lit incense and laid out the offerings he had brought.

He asked Si Qian if she had anything to say.

Si Qian knelt down and carefully wiped the dust off the tombstone with a tissue, then whispered to the photo on it:

"I'll take good care of him."

and also--

May you be free in your next life.

A gentle breeze swept by, blowing down the few remaining ginkgo leaves from the tree.

Golden leaves fell on Si Qian's head, as if in response to her.

Pei Li bent down and reached out to pick the fallen leaves off her head. Just as he was about to throw them away, Si Qian reached out.

"give it to me."

Although Pei Li didn't know what she wanted it for, he still obediently gave her the leaf.

Si Qian wrapped it in a tissue and put it in her pocket. She stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go home."

"it is good."

Pei Li reached out and took her hand, and the two walked side by side in the cemetery.

Si Qian: "After I die—"

Pei Li interrupted her: "I don't want to!"

Si Qian: "I mean, if I die in the future, what will you write on my epitaph?"

Pei Li: "Don't put cilantro in the tribute. What about you?"

Si Qian: "Feigning sleep is a way to lure the enemy."

"..."

It looks quite symmetrical...

Just as I stepped out of the cemetery, the sound of firecrackers came from afar, making my eardrums ache.

At the start of the new year, Si Qian still believes that this year will be a good one.

……

In the morning, they visited Shen Peiyue's grave. In the afternoon, the two of them took a road trip together, driving around Beijing.

Today, everyone was busy visiting relatives and friends, while the two of them were busy enjoying some rare time together.

No family, no friends.

There were only the two of them.

Ok……

There are two other systems.

-

At the same time, at the Li family's old residence.

The Mu family couple, along with Mu Weiyue, paid a visit.

Father Li warmly pulled Father Mu to the tea room, while Mother Mu and Mother Li sat in the living room chatting.

Mu Weiyue went behind the artificial hill to tease the fish.

Li Chuanze, who was even stronger than Si Qian, appeared behind her at some point.

"Yueyue..."

This sound was just like the scene when the two of them were under the artificial hill back then.

Mu Weiyue gestured for her to stop: "Stop, I know what you're going to say, but don't say it, just listen to me!"

After a moment's hesitation, Li Chuanze finally nodded.

"it is good!"

"I've said many times that I'm not interested in you. Just take the engagement between our two families as a joke. To be honest, I've been studying abroad for years and haven't paid much attention to what's going on in our circle. As for why you treat me like your white moonlight and make such a big fuss about it, I don't want to argue with you for the sake of our families. But you should know when to stop. There are some things I don't want to say too bluntly because my aunt and uncle have been very good to me, and I don't want to offend them."

A series of merciless attacks caused Li Chuanze's expression to change on the spot.

Mu Weiyue rarely spoke so harshly; it seemed she was truly fed up with Li Chuanze.

At this moment, Li Chuanze looked nothing like a domineering CEO; he appeared to be on the verge of collapse.

He asked incredulously, "You really had no feelings for me at all?"

Mu Weiyue sighed: "To be honest, I've always considered you a good friend. Before participating in the dating reality show, I did think that if things didn't work out, we could just get together..."

Li Chuanze's eyes lit up.

What Mu Weiyue said next was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head in the dead of winter.

"But I tried, and I really can't live with people I don't like for the rest of my life."

Her parents persuaded her to participate in a dating reality show and spend some time with Li Chuanze, and she agreed.

But Li Chuanze is definitely not my type.

They can be friends, siblings, but they can never be lovers.

His domineering and chauvinistic nature meant that the woman would inevitably have to compromise and tolerate him after marriage.

Even if he can restrain himself now because of love, who can guarantee what will happen in the future?

When love is gone, all that's left for them is a mess.

"Perhaps I'm not as good as you think, it's just that what you can't have always seems more appealing."

Mu Weiyue talked a lot until her mouth was dry, and she didn't know if Li Chuanze could listen to her.

Maybe, perhaps, possibly, I should have listened to it.

Li Chuanze asked, "So, will you get married in the future?"

Mu Weiyue: "I might have to find someone to live with in the future."

Humans are social animals, so it's perfectly understandable that she wants to find someone to live with.

But this person is neither male nor female, and has nothing to do with love.

She always felt that finding a partner was about finding two soulmates, not just physical ones.

There's nothing wrong with love between men and women, but we should seek common ground while respecting differences.

The world must allow people like her to exist.

Li Chuanze said firmly, "I can wait for you!"

"You don't need to wait for me" sounds like moral blackmail.

Mu Weiyue shook her head and refused Li Chuanze.

Today's series of setbacks completely shattered Li Chuanze's confidence.

He keeps saying things like he should die.

Li Chuanze tried to argue: "Can we still go fishing together in the future?"

Mu Weiyue: "You're welcome anytime!"

Another reason she didn't speak harshly to Li Chuanze was that she didn't want to drive away her fishing buddy.

Although he always makes a lot of noise and says some unpleasant things that hurt his air force.

But at times, he's a pretty good person.

At least when helping to fish, Mu Weiyue could temporarily forget the unpleasantness between the two of them.

With this reassuring answer, Li Chuanze felt relieved.

Turning his head, Li Chuanze went to the master for advice again.

This time, Li Chuanze learned his lesson and used a different account to add Si Qian's alt account.

He felt that the masters on his account knew each other and were always sabotaging him.

Xiao Li's surname isn't Dao: [Can we meet up after the New Year?]

Si Qian, who was watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf with Pei Li at a private cinema, thought it was a spam message and quickly replied.

Master Tianyuan: [Who are you? I already have a husband, please have some self-respect!]

Xiao Li's surname isn't Dao: [Master, didn't you yourself post on WeChat Moments that you could perform rituals offline to change your luck?]

Xiao Li's surname isn't Dao: [Let's arrange a time for you to come over.]

Disturbed by the notification sound, Pei Li asked Si Qian, "Who is it?"

Si Qian gave him a comforting kiss.

"That must be Xiao Dao's alt account. I'll scam him out of some money and then treat you to dinner!"
