"I'm all better! I'm all better! I'm all better! Why aren't you coming out?! Why aren't you opening the door?!"

"Come out here! Bai Weiran, you had the guts to bring the shrimp in, but you didn't have the guts to open the door? I know, you secretly ate all the shrimp, and you're too guilty to open the door!?"

"If you don't open the door, I'm calling the police! Stop causing trouble! Stop causing trouble!!"

"Waaaaah! I advise you not to be ungrateful, or I'll force you to kneel down and beg you to open the door! I want to eat shrimp!!"

Bai Weiran: ...? You finished the questions so quickly just because you had shrimp to eat?

The other day, every time you did your homework, you had that face that looked like your soul was about to jump out of your mouth. Were you trying to trick me into buying shrimp?

As soon as he opened the door, Yu Mengmeng rushed in like a cannonball, and he had to hold the plate high to prevent her from snatching it away.

"Let me check the papers first," he said.

Who knows if this is just random stuff?

Seeing that the shrimp was still there, Yu Mengmeng felt relieved and handed him the paper with both hands.

"Look quickly, look quickly, look quickly! I'm in a hurry! I am the King of Haste!"

Bai Weiran glanced at it and was extremely surprised. It wasn't entirely correct, but nine out of ten times it was right.

This adorable creature isn't hard to teach, but it uses too many shrimp and crabs.

He sat on the sofa feeding Yu Mengmeng shrimp, peeling one and eating it one by one, like a little bird eagerly waiting to be fed. Before they finished eating the shrimp, the neighbor next door came knocking on the door. Because Yu Mengmeng had made too much noise, the neighbor couldn't hear what she was saying, but only heard her screaming pitifully. They thought she had been beaten and came to check on her anxiously.

After seeing his neighbor off, Bai Weiran pressed his temples and closed his eyes, his hands smelling strongly of shrimp.

It's so numb, it's disgusting...

The little girl inside was still shouting.

"Bai Weiran, come back quickly! I'm so anxious! I'm so anxious! I'm so anxious! Eat shrimp!!!"

Chapter Thirty: Bai Weiran's Wish (4K, two chapters combined)

As soon as a sliver of the faint white light of dawn peeked through the curtains, the little girl on the bed woke up. She opened her eyes wide, and at first, she remained still, stealthily moving her bright red eyes from side to side to make sure there was nothing amiss. Like a little turtle, she used all four limbs to move horizontally, peeking half her face out from the side of the bed to confirm that Bai Weiran, who was sleeping soundly on the floor, was fast asleep.

She smiled, her pink lips curving upwards.

She climbed off the other side of the bed, tiptoed on her snow-white little feet, and slipped out like a thief, the ears on her rabbit pajamas still twitching.

She slipped into the living room and quietly, with clumsy movements, began to rummage through Bai Weiran's bookshelf and documents, as well as the bag Bai Weiran usually took with her when she went out, all the while muttering to herself.

"Where are you hiding? Where are you hiding? Siweiqi, my phone—where did Bai Weiran hide you?"

Yu Mengmeng searched her home thoroughly for several days, but to no avail.

But every day after Bai Weiran returned home, as long as her homework was confirmed to be correct, her phone and game console would magically reappear—Yu Mengmeng thus concluded that Bai Weiran must have brought her phone and game console to the company with her every day.

Originally, as long as Bai Weiran came home on time, she could play a few rounds of pesticide and happily ride her horse in the open field, and she wouldn't mind.

Unfortunately, everyone in internet companies works overtime. Bai Weiran got home at 7:30 the day before yesterday, 10:00 the day before yesterday, and hadn't even left the company by midnight yesterday.

If Yu Mengmeng gets off work at 7:30, she can play games for three and a half hours. If she gets off work at 10:00, she only has one hour left to play games. If she gets off work at 12:00, she won't even have time to play games.

Bai Weiran still refused to return the confiscated game console and cell phone to her for safekeeping.

Yu Mengmeng tried to argue, but she was defeated.

How could this be allowed to continue! A fit of rage for a mere game.

She made up her mind to sneak back the game console and phone while Bai Weiran was asleep.

It's his inhumanity that makes her unjust; she can't be blamed for being ungrateful.

We agreed to play games after finishing his homework, but he came home late, so I didn't get to play! It's not her fault!!

The room was dark, and she didn't dare turn on the light for fear of waking Bai Weiran. So she groped around and groped, but couldn't find it. Instead, she pulled out two books and a notebook with inspirations related to game design from Bai Weiran's bag.

She was extremely frustrated. She sat down in a chair, crossed her arms angrily, and puffed up her cheeks.

"…Bai Weiran is an idiot!"

She was still cursing, not satisfied, when she turned her head and saw a thin copy of "Zhuangzi" on the table. She grabbed it, turned her chair around, and was about to throw it onto the sofa...

Bai Weiran sat on the sofa, yawning as he looked at her.

I don't know how long I stood there watching.

Mengmeng followed his gaze and looked at the copy of "Zhuangzi" in her hand.

Her angry face stiffened for a second before changing expression. She casually took down the Zhuangzi, spread it on her lap, and began to recite it in the gradually brightening light.

"In the Northern Ocean there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so big that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is; it transforms into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back is so big that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is; when it is angry, it flies..." A tender voice echoed in the room, quite like a child reading a text attentively.

Yu Mengmeng read a passage, then raised her head, her posture pure, innocent, and naive.

"Bai Weiran, I woke up suddenly this morning and wanted to read Zhuangzi. I feel that there are many profound and thought-provoking principles in it."

"You're not angry about this, are you?"

Bai Weiran looked tired and stood up to pour himself a glass of water.

"...No, you read very well. I'd like to hear you read more. It's so beautiful!"

"…………!?"

He took a sip of water.

“I want to hear you read like this every day from now on. Yes, at five in the morning. This time of day is perfect. Going to bed early and getting up early to read cultivates the mind and body and helps us return to simplicity.”

Bai Weiran slowly drank his water, watching Yu Mengmeng reading with a mask of pain on her back, and couldn't help but find it amusing.

He knew she was a little angry, but as a producer, he was really too busy with the company's affairs. Because of the shortage of staff, he had been conducting interviews like crazy every day, interviewing two or three people, which would take up an entire afternoon. But there was still so much work to do, so he had to work overtime at night to catch up.

But giving her a game console and a mobile phone directly would be like letting a tender lamb into a pack of wolves.

She confidently declared, "I'll just watch, I don't know how to play."

Every man knows this trick, I'll just rub against him...

Giving it to her directly won't work, but not letting her play at all would be too cruel.

These past few days, she's been pretending to be obedient and going to sleep when it's time for him to fall asleep, actually intending to get up after he falls asleep. Unfortunately, she has the benefit of the app, which only requires her to sleep for one hour a day, and she can't outlast herself no matter how hard she tries. So she changed her strategy, going to sleep early and getting up in the morning to look for him.

The power of games is truly amazing; they can turn a lazy, sleep-deprived girl into a healthy, early-to-bed, early-to-rise young woman.

Yu Mengmeng was still reciting: "...If one rides the right course of Heaven and Earth, and controls the changes of the six qi, to roam the boundless, what would he need to rely on? Therefore it is said: The perfect man has no self, the divine man has no merit, and the sage has no name."

He recited it weakly, turning the "Free and Easy Wandering" into a funeral dirge.

As Bai Weiran listened to the dirge, he cracked two eggs into the hot pan, making a sizzling sound.

"Your phone..."

The listless girl looked up, her eyes round and bright.

"I've thought about it, and it really was my fault," Bai Weiran said calmly, holding the spatula.

"You promised you could play games after you finished your homework, but you broke your promise because I came home late."

"So I'm leaving the game console and your phone at home today."

Yu Mengmeng immediately threw away "Zhuangzi", her smile bright and cheerful. With a "whoosh", she ran happily towards Bai Weiran. "Zhuangzi" fell to the ground with a thud and was even stepped on by her snow-white little feet.

"Bai Weiran, I will definitely do my test obediently, don't worry!"

"I will never let you down."

Bai Weiran didn't look at her, just hummed in agreement and flipped the eggs in the pan.

"The game console and phone are in the closet, go get them!"

Yu Mengmeng cheered and rushed into the bedroom.

A moment later, another piercing scream came from the bedroom.

Like a screaming chicken whose life has been choked.

"Bai Weiran, you are a devil, a devil, a super-great devil!!!"

Bai Weiran ignored him, put the fried eggs on a plate, and started peeling the apple again.

In the bedroom, Yu Mengmeng wiped away her tears, picked up a pen and paper, and faced the simple safe in the wardrobe. There were six notes on the safe—six questions densely packed together, with a sentence at the end.

Solve these puzzles in order, and the first digit of each puzzle, when arranged in sequence, will form the safe's combination.

Yu Mengmeng started doing her homework while crying, refusing to come out even when Bai Weiran called her to eat breakfast. Bai Weiran didn't mind, eating steamed buns, fried eggs, and milk by himself, slowly reading the game academy's official WeChat account of Nan'e Company in the morning light.

Before going to work, I didn't forget to put the copy of "Zhuangzi" that had fallen on the ground and been stomped on back in its place.

[Wu Ji's Talk: Young Master Bai, Shall we go?]

[Bai Weiran: Where to?]

[Wu Ji's Talk: Let's go squat in the toilet together!]

Bai Weiran: ...Get lost.

The smell is too strong.

[Wu Jizhi's comment: Just kidding. I'd like to invite you to lunch. Are you free?]

Bai Weiran: If you're treating, then go.

[Wu Ji's Commentary: Holy crap, you're the one who got promoted, received a raise, kept a mistress, and reached the pinnacle of life, how dare you ask me to treat you!?]

Keeping a mistress in a gilded cage? (Incorrect)

A rented apartment hides a yandere. (Correct)

Bai Weiran: If you're not interested, then forget it.

[Wu Jizhi's words: Oh, okay, okay, okay, please, please, I'm more generous than you, thirty for a meal allowance. Don't say I'm not a good brother, it's even five yuan more than the coffee you bought me last time.]
