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

At eight o'clock in the morning, Pei Yi picked up his schoolbag and went to school.

At the dining table, only Pei Tianming, who was suffering from chest pain, along with Lao San, Si Qian, and Pei Li remained.

"How could I have given birth to such a thing as you!"

After a long silence, Pei Tianming finally couldn't help but utter a furious rebuke.

Si Qian, who was drinking porridge, slowly put down her spoon and looked over.

"If you didn't have him in your generation, people would gossip about you."

Pei Tianming choked for a moment, then continued to persuade Pei Li: "It's okay to have a girlfriend, but when it comes to marriage, you need to find someone you know well to take care of you."

"It's hard to say whether I can take care of you when you get old, and you're still worrying about me. You should spend your time worrying about yourself instead."

Pei Li had almost finished eating and turned to look at Si Qian, who had already eaten three bowls of porridge: "Are you full?"

"full."

Upon hearing Si Qian's reply, Pei Li immediately stood up and led her outside.

"Don't ever come back to this house if you leave today!"

Pei Li paused slightly, then left without looking back, completely ignoring Pei Tianming who was jumping up and down.

After leaving the Pei family, Si Qian, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up to remind them.

"Brother, you're pinching me too hard."

As Pei Li's thoughts returned, he looked down and saw that the skin where he had just held Si Qian's wrist was a little red, so he immediately let go of her hand.

He felt somewhat annoyed and guilty: "Let me see."

He reached out to take Si Qian's hand, and Si Qian didn't pull away, but just let him hold her hand and rub the reddened area.

"You still care about your father, don't you?"

Otherwise, it wouldn't have stopped just now.

"No."

Pei Li denied it almost immediately, saying, "I'm just after the family fortune."

Even after sitting in the car, Pei Li still seemed absent-minded.

Si Qian sat quietly to the side, asking nothing.

"Actually, I'm quite envious of Pei Yi."

After a while, Pei Li spoke up, his vision slightly blurred as he gripped the steering wheel.

The sight of the happy family of three, with their loving father and filial son, made him feel like an outsider.

"I know the system sent you to save me—"

He paused for a moment: "So all these years, I've been waiting for you."

He was curious about the woman the system said would come to save him, and at the same time, he secretly hoped to be saved by someone.

After he finished speaking, he observed Si Qian's reaction.

After listening, Si Qian simply frowned slightly and looked at him.

"Growth itself is a self-healing process; you don't actually need anyone to save you."

"You just crave someone to love you so much that you fantasize about me as a utopia where you can find solace for your inner world."

The world will keep turning whether she's here or not; the sun will still rise high, and the moon will remain the same as always.

She meant that Pei Li could still live a good life without her.

"If I had never appeared in front of you, would you have gone and killed, set fires, and destroyed the world?"

"of course not."

Pei Li answered instinctively.

"That's fine then. Maybe you're not a good person, but who can guarantee they're not a bad person? Instead of waiting for someone else to save you, you should think about how to save yourself."

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone.

She couldn't believe Pei Li couldn't understand something she could figure out: "I can be your fictional spiritual world, but please don't place all your hopes on me."

"After all, it's common knowledge that I'm not a reliable person."

After hearing Si Qian's words, both systems fell silent.

They have never thought about this.

"Only those who are deeply sinful and in dire straits need redemption, so don't always think you are unforgivable. You, who are rich and good-looking and still shout 'I don't want money, I only want love,' are just making a fuss over nothing."

She also had a serious illness, and they kept urging her to do some kind of redemption.

If you're not feeling well, go see a doctor!

Let her save my ass!

Hearing her say that made Pei Li feel much better.

"If I'm ever kicked out of my home, could you take me in?"

"Sure, you can work for me, and I'll pay you a salary."

She has never enslaved capitalists.

"I'll work for you, no salary required, just a Krabby Patty."

"Let's head to Bikini Bottom!"

"Destination, Krusty Krab?"

"Yes!"

……

At this moment, by the river.

Li Chuanze watched as Mu Weiyue tied a large fish to the back of the convertible sports car and couldn't help but ask a question.

Why aren't you packing this fish up?

"Hasn't it already been installed?"

Mu Weiyue glanced back at him, then lowered her head to continue tying up her fish.

This fish was truly the biggest she had ever caught.

She'll take you for a spin around the city later.

Under the blazing sun, Li Chuanze, who had been sitting there with Mu Weiyue for 32 hours, felt his buttocks were about to give way when he stood up.

Finally, the big fish arrived. Li Chuanze was tanned to a dark brown, and he was quite impatient.

"Are we going back to the old house?"

"No, let me take the fish for a spin first, then we'll go to the outskirts. I know a river with really big fish there..."

Li Chuanze can no longer bear to hear the word "fish".

He was dozing off here last night and dreamed that he fell into the river and a fish was chasing him.

After tying the fish up, Mu Weiyue deliberately chose to drive on congested roads, turning on her hazard lights along the way, which amazed all the drivers who passed by.

Li Chuanze, who was driving, said, "This fish is dead, and we have to parade it through the streets?"

Mu Weiyue: "Focus on driving!"

What should have been a 20-minute drive took Mu Weiyue two hours.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Li Chuanze couldn't understand what was so interesting about catching this fish.

While stuck in traffic, watching Mu Weiyue in the passenger seat editing photos of fish, Li Chuanze also took out his phone and found the master in his list.

Li: [Are you there, Master?]

Si Qian cursed Li Chuanze a hundred times in her heart.

Money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat.

Si Qian decisively took the shopping card given to her by Li Chuanze and rushed into the shopping mall under the Li Group, acting like a domineering CEO as she spoke to Pei Li.

"I'll pay for everything you buy today!"

"Take it all, give it to me!"
