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

"I thought you'd think I'm stupid and rich."

Si Qian jokingly said to Pei Li in a lighthearted tone, "I'm the kind of person who acts impulsively without considering the consequences and likes to be overly kind. I can't stand seeing others bully the weak."

Pei Li corrected her wording: "This is called hating evil as if it were an enemy, and helping those in need when you see injustice."

Si Qian: "It sounds quite refreshing and unconventional."

Pei Li: "So you're working so hard doing part-time jobs to earn money because you need to support a group of people?"

Si Qian: "That's an exaggeration. Although my company has been losing money, they don't really depend on me to support them. Many of them went out and started their own businesses to make money after completing their studies."

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

Moreover, she didn't do part-time jobs entirely to earn money. It was because she tended to overthink when she was idle. The doctor was worried that she would become depressed and have suicidal thoughts, so he suggested that she find something to do to distract herself. As a result, it became a habit, and she wanted to earn money from anything.

“When I was at my lowest point, I was begging in Beijing and S City. An auntie who passed by asked me what trouble I was having and gave me some money. A kind man gave me food.”

Humans are animals that seek advantage and avoid harm.

However, having experienced the kindness of others during times of hardship, I wanted to do my part to help more people.

"beg?"

"Yeah, three years ago I only had two yuan and fifty cents left in my pocket and I was kicked out by my landlord. I couldn't find a job either. If I didn't beg for food, would I starve to death?"

To be honest, I've never been this miserable in my past life.

Pei Li: "Why didn't you come to find me?"

Si Qian: "We don't even know each other, why would I contact you?"

Pei Li: "What I mean is, why don't you try to win me over?"

This was the first time the two of them had spoken frankly about their relationship since they met.

"Holy crap! How did you know I wanted to win you over?"

Si Qian's expression instantly changed. How did he know about this after she'd kept it a secret for so long?

Pei Li answered her question.

"Because I also have a system that told me you would come, and as a result, I waited for you for three whole years! Do you know how I spent those three years?!"

Si Qian asked hesitantly, "How did you get through it?"

Inside the car, Pei Li's plaintive voice could be heard—

"The system says I'm too ugly and scared you away!"

"It also said that I was a useless thing who couldn't keep a woman's heart."

"It also called me a bachelor that nobody wanted."

Si Qian: "..."

This system's mouth is like it's been poisoned; every word it utters hits right where it hurts.

"So why didn't you come here in the first place?"

Pei Li pondered this question for three whole years but still couldn't figure it out.

"Brother, if you don't hear how bad your reputation is, I'm afraid you'll throw me into the pond to feed the crocodiles."

She may not be afraid of death, but that doesn't mean she wants to seek her own demise.

"Feeding a crocodile?" Pei Li almost laughed out of anger. "I'm clearly raising an alligator snapping turtle, who said it's a crocodile?"

Si Qian: "..."

"Is that why you've been avoiding me for three years?"

"No, it's because I'm a rebellious person and like to go against the system."

It's really annoying.

Every few days, I have to urge her to do tasks, but I don't give her any benefits.

Even knife-cut noodles know that you have to give her some money for her hard work.

But all he did was make empty promises to her.

Pei Li reminded him, "There are only two years left until the end of the strategy."

Si Qian blurted out, "Let's wait a bit longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Li's face darkened instantly.

If we keep waiting like this, the grass on his grave will be two meters high.

Inside the carriage, Pei Li's soft breathing, caused by emotional agitation, could be clearly heard; his breathing seemed somewhat rapid.

Suddenly, he leaned towards Si Qian, his clear, cold voice revealing absolute dominance.

"Mr. Krabs, I don't want to wait anymore."

He paused, then spoke—

"This time it's my turn to win you over."

Before Si Qian could react, she suddenly heard alarms going off in her head.

The noise was so loud it gave her a headache, like her head was about to explode.

【It's all over! We're doomed!】

At the same time, the system in Pei Li's mind was also constantly beeping.

1748: [Wrong! Wrong!]

Si Qian: "Shut up!"

Pei Li: "Shut up!"

The two systems fell silent almost simultaneously.

Si Qian and Pei Li both heard the other's system voice and exchanged a glance.

What are you two howling about?

"Fearless of death": [Host, I've mixed up my system with 1748. 1748 is your system; I'm the second male lead's system.]

Spicy meatballs...

Si Qian's smile vanished instantly.

The air was deathly silent.

A few seconds later, the two spoke almost simultaneously—

"It's tied backwards!?"

After a moment of realization, Pei Li suddenly asked 1748, "Didn't you say you were a legitimate system?"

1748 confidently stated: 【It's a legitimate female protagonist system, no doubt about it.】

"What about you?"

Si Qian asked, "What system do you use?"

Trembling with fear: [I am the Dragon Overlord System...]

It said that the villain didn't seem to have any "darkening" value at all.

I feel like I've been trained like a dog by the system for the past three years.

It's different; it was trained into a dog by its host.

Si Qian: "You're already a dragon overlord, and you're still so spineless?"

Sobbing and wailing: "I didn't want to either, but you attacked me with a knife..."

"Since it's tied backwards, let's just go with the flow. It doesn't matter who goes through the strategy."

Pei Li adapted quickly, since there were still two years left anyway.

1748: [Feelings can't be rushed, host, let's take it slow.]

……

The next morning.

The first ray of sunlight rises.

Director Zheng, who was exhausted after a night of diarrhea, came out of the toilet looking as if all his energy had been drained.

Mu Weiyue: "What's wrong?"

Director Zheng, barely breathing, clutched his stomach and lay weakly on the sofa.

"I ate the takeout I ordered and it turned out badly. I've had diarrhea ever since."

Si Qian came downstairs: "The boss is a nice guy, offering a quick return with no refund."

She held the freshly removed gauze in her hand and looked at Director Zheng with a mocking expression.

Upstairs, Pei Li, carrying the medicine, followed and pressed the person down onto the sofa.

"do not move!"

"Oh."

Si Qian sat down obediently, and Pei Li gently blew on the wound after applying the medicine.

[You two seemed a bit flirty today.]

[Something's off about these two! CEO Pei's eyes are practically glaring at me.]

Have they talked about it?

Did you do it?

She's given birth!

The comments in the live stream became increasingly outrageous, and Director Wu was worried that the live stream would be shut down.

After washing up, Li Chuanze came downstairs and saw Mu Weiyue holding her phone and smiling happily.

Li Chuanze: "What are you doing?"

Mu Weiyue: "Playing a fishing game."

Li Chuanze: "Take me with you sometime."

Mu Weiyue: "I don't have time."

Li Chuanze: "Let's get together when you're free."

Mu Weiyue: "I'll go fishing in my free time."

After an awkward conversation, Li Chuanze really couldn't find any more topics to talk about.

Once everyone had arrived, the guests sat down at the dining table and began to eat breakfast.

Fu Xiaogang took a sip of porridge and noticed a black spot in the bowl.

After searching for a while, I found it was a fly.

"..."

Not God?

What is his question?

For other people, Mercury retrograde is just a minor setback, but for him, it's like a game of Counter-Strike!
