Miler, who has a system for giving up

The next morning, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky, and the sound of raindrops tapping against the window seemed to be telling people something.

I was gradually awakened by the sound of rain. I stretched, sat up in bed, and leaned against the headboard.

Not fully awake from the dream, I blinked groggily, my vision still blurry, as if the whole world was shrouded in a thin veil. I rubbed my eyes and opened them.

Just then, the phone rang with a crisp ringtone, breaking the silence.

I instinctively reached for the bedside table, grabbed my phone, and the note on the screen instantly snapped me back to reality—"Mom."

I gently swiped my finger up to answer the phone, and my thoughts gradually came back to me.

However, when I heard that familiar yet unfamiliar voice coming from the receiver, I was stunned.

That was the girl's mother's voice, which had echoed in my ears countless times, but now it seemed so distant and unfamiliar.

"Hello? Lele, how have you been lately?" Her mother's voice came through the receiver, carrying a hint of concern and expectation.

I listened quietly, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside me. Time seemed to flow backward, and I recalled the girl's childhood memories of being with her mother; those warm memories flooded my mind like a tide.

"Hmm...it's good." I replied softly, trying to hide my excitement, because in that world I had no parents and had never experienced family affection.

Although I didn't spend much time with the girl's mother, her voice always touched the softest corner of my heart, a feeling of warmth that was hard to describe.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my excited emotions, and at the same time, I realized that no matter how time goes by, family ties will always be an unbreakable bond.

"Mom, I've switched jobs to the Ye Group. They poached me with a high salary to work as a data analyst. The benefits here are much better than the company I took you to before. I just joined, and everything is going well. The company treats me very well, and the work environment is stable. I only occasionally need to go out for meetings or data collection. I just got back from out of town and I'm currently learning to drive. I'll come home to see you after this busy period."

I ultimately decided to reveal some information to this mother who only cared about her daughter but didn't understand the situation.

Sure enough, when I told this mother all this information at once, she became noticeably nervous, especially about her child.

"The Ye Group? I've heard of it, it's a huge corporation! Putting aside the salary, I'm really worried about you not coming home often. I don't know if you're eating well or sleeping well. Why are you learning to drive? It's so dangerous, you should stop!"

"Mom, I've passed my written test (Theory Test 1) and I'll be taking the practical driving test (Driving Test 2) soon. The company is paying for it; they require me to learn to drive. If my data analysis hadn't been so good, they probably wouldn't have hired me. Don't worry, everything's fine here. The food is like what we only get during Chinese New Year, the rest area is very comfortable, and the company has provided us with excellent housing."

As expected, the girl's mother was very caring towards her, but this excessive worry became an obstacle.

Fortunately, I knew how to handle this situation. Otherwise, given the girl's personality, she might have listened to her mother's advice, given up learning to drive, and might even have been unable to continue working.

However, this mother still hasn't realized that the daughter in her heart is a completely different person.

"That's good. Take good care of yourself while you're out there all by yourself." The mother breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"I will, Mom. You and Dad, please take good care of yourselves at home," I comforted her.

"By the way, isn't the Ye Group a big company? There must be a lot of outstanding young men there. You'd better hurry up and make your move," the mother suddenly said.

My heart skipped a beat. The topic had changed so quickly. "Mom, I just want to focus on my work right now. Let's talk about relationships later."

“You’re not getting any younger, you should start thinking about it,” the mother began to nag.

I sighed helplessly, "I know, Mom, I know what I'm doing."

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. Remember to call home often when you have time," the mother instructed.

After hanging up the phone, I lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, my thoughts drifting away. My mother's concerned words still seemed to echo in my ears, stirring ripples in my once calm heart.

Han Heng's image quietly surfaced in my mind; his handsome yet aloof face kept flashing before my eyes. Thinking of him, a complex mix of emotions welled up within me.

However, the reason she didn't tell her mother that she already had a boyfriend wasn't out of dissatisfaction with Han Heng or to avoid him, but because of the past buried deep in her heart.

From the girl's memories, I discovered that she had indeed had people she liked, but due to the influence of her family environment, she was never able to express her true feelings.

The boy seemed to have feelings for her too, but when he finally mustered up the courage to confess his feelings to her, he heard some untrue rumors about her.

It's heartbreaking that the boy so easily believed those rumors, which greatly disappointed the girl.

Recalling the look of disgust in the girl's eyes when she saw the boy she liked, my heart ached.

Although I had never experienced such emotional entanglement before, I could imagine how painful it would be if Han Heng suddenly looked at me with the same disgust.

However, one cannot remain forever shrouded in the shadows of the past; one must bravely step into the future and cherish everything one has in the present. I will live a wonderful life, including hers.

I snapped out of my daze and looked at my phone screen, which showed the time as 7:47 a.m.! I couldn't help but wonder, had last night's dream left me so mentally exhausted?

Otherwise, why did I wake up so late today? Although I spent half an hour on the phone just now, that doesn't fully explain why I woke up late.

Perhaps, those mysterious and vivid dreams really did consume a lot of my energy.

A thought flashed through my mind, and with a flash of light, the Purple and Green Sword appeared in my hand.

However, before this, due to the lack of the corresponding techniques, the Zhuxian Sword could not unleash its true power, but now that I have the techniques, I am finally able to use this precious sword.

Two swords hovered in front of me, gleaming with a mysterious and dazzling light.

I couldn't wait to try out the two swords and feel their power one by one. With each swing, I felt a familiar sensation, as if it echoed the scene of practicing swordsmanship in my dream last night.

This strange experience reminded me of my dream last night. It seems I didn't fall asleep at all that night, but instead focused on practicing swordsmanship all night long.

Each sword strike carried a sharp, piercing aura, feeling incredibly real, just like the rehearsals I'd performed in my dream the night before. I was immersed in this wondrous feeling, freely expressing my swordsmanship and experiencing the crisscrossing power of the swords.

As I practiced my swordsmanship, I gradually entered a state of selflessness, merging completely into the world of the sword.

Yan Luo, who was quietly eating breakfast downstairs, suddenly sensed the unusual spiritual energy and sharp sword aura coming from my room. Her expression changed immediately, and she stood up.

She glanced around and found an excuse to send the three aunties away. Then she quickly took out her phone and called Qin Yimeng, who was exercising outside in the morning, and asked her to quickly notify Han Heng, Sikong Feng and Ye Dongjun to come over.

After arranging everything, Yan Luo quickly walked towards my room.

As the distance closed, Yan Luo felt the pressure increasing, but at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief because she could still clearly feel that my breathing was steady and nothing was wrong.

So she quietly stayed where she was, waiting for the others to arrive.

Since the two villa areas were not far apart, Han Heng, Sikong Feng, and Ye Dongjun arrived quickly.

In less than five minutes, they appeared before Yan Luo. Qin Yimeng seemed to sense the urgency in Yan Luo's words, and after hanging up the phone, she ran back as fast as she could.

Han Heng's cultivation level was the highest among everyone. When he saw Yan Luo standing safely in front of my door, the weight in his heart lifted a little.

Just as I was gradually withdrawing my sword intent and sword energy, Han Heng impatiently burst through the door. At the same time, Sikong Feng, Ye Dongjun, and Yan Luo, whose cultivation levels were similar, were already prepared for battle.

However, when they opened the door, they found me standing there alone, my room riddled with marks from sword intent. The three people behind me were stunned by this sight.

Because they couldn't find the assassin, I was all alone.

Moreover, judging from the scattered items and their broken state, it was obvious that I had caused all of this myself. Just as I relaxed, the overwhelming aura outside the door made me tense up again.

All three of them turned their gazes toward the doorway, while Han Heng remained focused on observing my condition.

The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief after the door was unlocked with a password and they saw who it was.

Because the person standing at the door was Qin Yimeng, her face was flushed, and her aura seemed very unstable.

Clearly, she had forcibly channeled her spiritual energy into her feet and run back. However, before they arrived, I was already immersed in the world of swords, freely exploring it.

As I slowly withdrew from that state of mind, I realized that everything before me had become unrecognizable. The once warm and beautiful room was now dilapidated and in complete disarray.

I sensed the presence of many people. I turned to look at the doorway and saw Han Heng, Sikong Feng, Yan Luo, Ye Dongjun, and Qin Yimeng, who was panting heavily.

It was only then that I realized I had caused the room to become like this. Yan Luo must have sensed something amiss in my room, which was why she summoned them to investigate.

So why was Qin Yimeng breathing heavily? Did she rush back from outside?

"How are you? Did you have an epiphany? Is this purple sword yours?" Han Heng observed me carefully, his eyes filled with concern and curiosity. He didn't seem to notice any injuries on my body, so he boldly made his own guess.

Like a child who had done something wrong, I slowly lowered my head, unable to meet his gaze. After a while, I whispered, "I'm fine. Maybe I really did have an epiphany. That sword is indeed mine, but I've ruined the room you so carefully designed for me... I'm sorry."

At this point, everyone finally realized what had happened and came over. They tried to comfort me, telling me not to worry about such trivial matters, as accidents happen frequently during cultivation. However, I still felt extremely guilty because this room held great significance for me.

Han Heng walked over to me, gently patted my shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's okay, as long as you're alright. As for the room, we can renovate it again, it's no big deal." The others echoed, expressing their willingness to help me repair the room.

"Little Lele, don't worry, we can handle demolishing ten more villas, or even a hundred," Sikong Feng said confidently and reassuringly.

Yan Luo, who was standing to the side, nodded quickly, indicating that she completely agreed with Sikong Feng's statement.

At this moment, Qin Yimeng was at her most adorable. She held my hand tightly and gently breathed on it, as if trying to pass on all her warmth to me. She softly comforted me, "Sister Lele, it doesn't hurt, and don't be afraid. All the older brothers and sisters breath on Mengmeng like this! Don't worry about the houses, Mengmeng has countless houses, and you can live with Mengmeng."

Upon hearing this, Ye Dongjun seemed to suddenly remember something and said with a sense of realization, "Oh right, I forgot about Xiao Yimeng. Her family has so many houses that it's unbelievable."

I looked gratefully at my kind and friendly friends and Han Heng, and a deep warmth welled up in my heart.

Although I feel guilty about this accident, at the same time, I also truly feel everyone's care and support.

Perhaps it is because of such a united and supportive group that we are able to keep moving forward on the arduous path of cultivation and face various difficulties and challenges together.

As they joked with each other, my tense nerves gradually relaxed, and my emotions calmed down.

Han Heng seemed to sense this, and he gently took my hand and led me downstairs. Seeing this, the others followed behind us.

Just then, Aunt Jiang, Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Zhao returned, each carrying a large pile of things. The aroma of the food was irresistible, making one's mouth water.

Everyone rushed forward to help carry the food into the kitchen. It turned out that Yan Luo's task for her three aunts was to go to a newly opened shop and queue up to buy delicious dishes.

Everyone was starving and eager to taste the tempting food. Before long, the table was filled with a dazzling array of delicious dishes.
