Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

Tangtang's speech was filled with the unique innocence of a child.

In a child's world, husbands and wives should stay together for life, brothers and sisters should protect each other, the world is always peaceful, and life is inherently gentle and beautiful.

She never just stares at the shadows beneath the ground, but looks up at the sun and imagines the fairytale world of her dreams.

Wen Qi nodded: "That makes sense."

She even gently patted Tangtang's head: "You are the smartest child I have ever met."

Apart from Tangtang, a four-year-old child, there was no ordinary person among those present.

In terms of knowledge, vision, experience, and intellect, they are all top-notch.

It is precisely because they are so outstanding that they cannot utter such an innocent fairy tale as Tangtang, and have never even thought in that direction.

But Tangtang did indeed get to the essence, the absolute essence.

Just like how Wen Qi used the method of dissecting math problems to analyze emotions.

The formula uses dopamine, phenylethylamine, and adrenaline.

The results showed that all passionate relationships lasted between 6 and 18 months.

They are so outstanding.

So outstanding that Wen Qi questioned Su Ming: "Why would I like you? You don't meet my criteria for a partner."

She was genuinely confused and couldn't understand it.

Shen Wanyu comes from a top-tier wealthy family, so her standards for choosing a partner are even higher and more demanding.

In 2026, Chen Zhiwei, in order to study the "flesh hyperplasia" that Su Ming received, directly invited Su Ming to have sex and have a child.

In her eyes, as long as it allows her to advance her scientific research, she can abandon all sentimentality and even use emotions as a bargaining chip.

As for Yu Mengnian, needless to say, she doesn't need it and doesn't even consider it.

Looking at everyone present, only Tangtang meets the standards of an ordinary person.

She will grow up and get married.

She was also the only "ordinary girl" who was not affected by the system's favorability rating and thus truly fell in love with Su Ming.

It's not that Su Ming isn't outstanding.

It can only be said that the more outstanding a person is, the clearer they are about what they want and what they want to do. Feelings, especially love, are always secondary, or even dispensable.

For the first time, Su Ming experienced the terrifying power of favorability ratings.

Without a forced level of goodwill, it would be impossible for this group of people with completely different temperaments, stances, and perspectives to gather at the same table.

Even if they are forcibly brought together, they each have their own ideas and it is difficult for them to get along.

Only by being forcibly locked in by their favorability rating, making Su Ming the absolute core, could they sit together so harmoniously.

In the future, whatever they want to do or do, they will subconsciously prioritize Su Ming.

Wen Qi looked at Su Ming's tightly furrowed brows.

She took Su Ming's hand and said only two words, "I'm here."

Two simple words were enough to ease Su Ming's frown.

Then she suggested, "Let's all define ourselves."

"In 2003, none of us here were yet influenced or constrained by the concept of favorability."

"Therefore, I need everyone to have a clear understanding of their own position."

"One will remain here, with Su Ming at the core."

Wen Qi spoke first, saying, "My identity is Su Ming's girlfriend."

After saying that, she cupped Su Ming's face in her hands and kissed him deeply in front of everyone present.

After the kiss, she moved aside.

Shen Wanyu hesitated for a few seconds.

To be honest, this was the first time she had met Su Ming, and they hadn't even exchanged more than a few words. They weren't even acquaintances.

Born into a top-tier wealthy family, she was never short of exceptionally talented young men around her, all of whom were outstanding individuals in terms of appearance, family background, cultivation, and demeanor.

In comparison, Su Ming, who is only seventeen and not yet an adult, is hardly dazzling.

A few seconds later, Shen Wanyu also made her decision.

She slowly walked to Su Ming's side.

Her own self-cultivation prevented her from kissing passionately in public.

She simply lowered her head and gently kissed Su Ming's lips.

"I am your fiancée. Please take good care of me from now on."

This is the identity Shen Wanyu has chosen for herself, and it's also the decision she's made.

Given her personality, once she makes a decision, she won't change it.

"Me, me, me."

Tangtang is much bolder than she was at the beginning.

She leaned in and gave Su Ming a quick kiss on the cheek, declaring in a childish voice, "I am my brother's wife, and my brother is my future husband."

Su Ming rubbed Tang Tang's nose: "Why not wife or husband?"

"No, no!" Tang Tang shook her head vigorously. "It's too old-fashioned, it doesn't sound good at all."

Her innocence and cuteness made Su Ming laugh out loud.

Su Ming thought it was all over.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhiwei also came over.

He couldn't help but look at Wen Qi: "Um, isn't Chen Zhiwei...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Qi interrupted him: "Identity is very important."

Chen Zhiwei immediately nodded: "That's right, identity represents relationships, it's the clearest bond between people."

"If this relationship didn't exist, what would we be?"

Su Ming said in a low voice, "Comrades-in-arms are fine too."

"What?" Chen Zhiwei's eyes widened instead. "You look down on me?"

Don't underestimate me just because I'm young now.

"I'll be much older than you by 2026."

Right.

Chen Zhiwei is 10 years old now, and will be 23 years old by 2026, which is five years older than Su Ming.

She said casually, "My status is that of Su Ming's mistress."

After saying that, she went up to him and pinned him against the wall, then bit Su Ming hard on the lips.

After biting it, she ran to the side, took out a test tube from her bag, and spat the blood from her mouth into it.

"You guys continue, don't worry about me."

"Let me examine Su Ming's blood sample first."

After saying that, she began to seriously study Su Ming's blood.

Su Ming touched his lips and smiled helplessly.

In 2026, when he met Chen Zhiwei for the second time, she wanted to have sex with him.

In 2003, Chen Zhiwei, though unwilling, still profited from the situation.

No wonder he's destined to be a future technological giant of China; he's had a scientific spirit since childhood.

Yu Mengnian sighed softly and slowly floated to Su Ming's side.

Her expression was more serious than ever before: "I can allow you to be intimate with me, but you have to wait until I'm actually an adult."

"I will not have your child, that's my bottom line."

Just a few days ago, Yu Mengnian told Su Ming with a serious expression that she would not have children, would not get married, and did not need a man.

A few days later, the bottom line changed to simply not having children.

Su Ming nodded.

Yu Mengnian cupped Su Ming's cheeks.

"From this day forward, we shall become Daoist partners."

She closed her eyes and gently kissed Su Ming's forehead.

An aura, barely perceptible to the naked eye, merged into Su Ming's body.

After the kiss.

She explained, "It's a wisp of my divine will."

"You can contact me through it, like a telepathic message."

"After you return, see if you can use it to contact me after I've been distorted."

Su Ming touched his forehead.

Yu Mengnian's idea was the most thoughtful.

Although she looks only ten years old now, she has actually cultivated in her dreams for 97 years.

At her age, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her great-grandmother.

Seeing that Zhou Zhengyang was about to stand up, Su Ming quickly raised his hand and said, "You don't need to."

"Sit down, this is none of your business."

Zhou Zhengyang sat down with a heavy heart, his eyes welling up for some reason.

Maybe I'm hungry, but why is drool dripping from the corner of my eye?

Once their identities were confirmed, the invisible barriers at the dinner table quietly disappeared, and the aura around everyone underwent some subtle changes.

Communication between them became smoother.

The biggest change was in Tangtang, who happily ran around the living room, showing no signs of the fear she had shown at the beginning.

Yu Mengnian also let go of her aloofness and became more down-to-earth, appearing much more approachable.

Shen Wanyu no longer always maintained the dignified and aloof demeanor of a wealthy heiress, and occasionally she would secretly relax her posture.

Wen Qi didn't seem to have changed much, but the aloofness between her brows had faded, replaced by a touch of gentleness.

However, she would occasionally furrow her brows, as if she were trying to think of something.
