[Bai Weiran: See you downstairs at midnight.]

Xx

“Every time I come to a Japanese restaurant, I have this feeling.” Wu Ji handed the menu back to the waiter in a yukata and whispered to Bai Weiran.

"It feels like paying an 'IQ tax'. If you look closely, the ingredients these restaurants use aren't that expensive, but they just put up a Japanese restaurant name and the prices skyrocket."

Bai Weiran sipped his sugar-free oolong tea, his attitude neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Wu Ji has disliked Japanese food since high school.

She once did something bizarre: she thought all the sashimi she brought out was too raw, so she blanched it in water.

Yes, it happened during the time he was flirting with that Hanfu-wearing girl. Later, the girl felt that his behavior was disrespectful to her cooking and that he had no taste, so they broke up. In this case, it was a win-win situation for both of them, because Wu Ji himself didn't have any feelings for the girl.

They now come to Japanese restaurants simply because it's the quietest place near the company with the fewest people and private rooms.

It's expensive and the food isn't good, so the shop is naturally quiet.

Wu Ji asked about Mengmeng.

"If you're not going to send her back, how long do you plan to keep her? Young Master Bai, this is a living, breathing person, not your real sister or daughter. The organization that kidnapped her won't be able to deal with her for months or years. Are you really going to keep her like this for years?"

"I haven't thought that far ahead yet."

"Oh ho, don't forget you also have Miss Qin. She's a reincarnation, and she's the company boss. I can only say that this is a match made in heaven. You can't escape her. If the yandere Miss Qin hears that you're hiding a young girl in your house, she'll definitely have a meltdown—a woodcutter, chains, a sleeping potion, red tea, and a basement." Wu Ji counted on his fingers and sighed.

"Young Master Bai, are you ready?"

Bai Weiran choked on a mouthful of pork chop rice and had to quickly drink some tea before swallowing it.

"That's going too far. It's not that outrageous. Qin Ning isn't that kind of person," he argued.

"Moreover, you also analyzed with me that Xia Yanle and that organization are in the same world, so the chances of Xia Yanle becoming their target are very high. So all I need to do is keep monitoring Xia Yanle and wait for them to appear before following the clues."

If we kick that lousy organization out, we can send Mengmeng back.

Bai Weiran wasn't too worried about this.

He's the kind of person who becomes calmer the more things happen to him.

When there are too many things to handle, rushing won't help, and panicking won't do any good either, so it's better to stay calm and not rush.

His current plan is to delay.

Try to stay in Xia Yanle's world for as long as possible to increase the chances of her showing up on her own initiative.

Wu Ji lowered his head and slurped his ramen, took two bites, then looked up and smiled.

"To be honest, when I first found out you were using this app, I was surprised, but after calming down, I realized it was really suitable for you. Maybe this is the app that's best suited for you."

"...?"

Do you remember when we graduated from high school, our two classes wrote about time capsules?

"Ah."

"Sorry, I actually accidentally saw what you wrote in the note."

Bai Weiran raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He and Wu Ji looked at each other in silence for a few seconds, then smiled at the same time and lowered their heads to eat.

The wisdom of adults lies in not saying it out loud.

The note read: "I want a relationship that will never betray you."

It's foolish, it's childish, it's not like something a rational person like Bai Weiran would write, but it's also his most primal and simple expectation.

Wu Ji pondered.

But along the way, Bai Weiran's actions were all traceable - because he wanted to avoid betraying relationships, Bai Weiran did his best not to actively betray the people he met on his life's journey. Unfortunately, those people left him one by one. In a relationship, he was always the one left behind, the one who left last.

He would feel helpless and sad, but he would not complain or be resentful. He calmly accepted the beatings and lashes of life.

Behind this tranquility lies a compromise with life and human nature.

As an old friend, I really hope someone will treat him well.

What if more than one person wants to be nice to him?

Wu Ji had a question in his mind, but complained aloud, "...Damn it, this ramen is awful, and they still charged me forty yuan. I'm going to file a fraud complaint."

Bai Weiran responded casually and nonchalantly.

"Then you might have ordered the wrong thing. The pork cutlet rice bowl is much better than your ramen."

Actually, his pork chop rice was also very bad, so bad that he felt like the pig had died several times in his mouth. Every time he chewed, he felt an urge to kill the chef.

But that's how good friends are: if you are well, it's like a sunny day for me—a bolt from the blue.

When you build your own pain on the pain of others, it doesn't hurt as much.

Despite saying it was so bad, Bai Weiran still made a point of getting a pork chop rice to go when he left work that day.

It was sent to Qin Yun, the scumbag who was locked in a dark room, as punishment.

That guy can't even do a good job on a Chinese junior high school exam paper, bad review!

As soon as Bai Weiran arrived at the scene, he found Xia Yanle dressed in an elegant dress, holding a water glass, leaning against the wall in a graceful posture—eavesdropping?

"...?"

This task is far too elusive.

Upon seeing him, she greeted him with an overly familiar gesture and handed him another water cup.

"Come on, join us, don't be shy."

Bai Weiran was completely baffled. He stuck the water glass against the wall and faintly heard the familiar panting sound of the little mystery film.

"No...uh...no, don't go so deep..."

"Little XX...so alluring...want to be XXX so much? Still pretending? Let me show you! Does this feel good? You call me your uncle, but you still love your uncle's big XX to death, hehe, you little slut!"

Bai Weiran was stunned for a moment. Seeing Xia Yanle's serious expression, he thought she was listening to some confidential discussion, but it turned out to be... this kind of thing?

She didn't blush or pant, showing no sign of shyness whatsoever.

Bai Weiran tried to take the water glass down, but Xia Yanle smiled and gestured for him to continue listening.

As Bai Weiran listened, he realized something was amiss.

The man kept calling out Xia Yanle's name.

"...Isn't it interesting?" Xia Yanle knew Bai Weiran had figured it out, and explained with a smile.

It turns out that although Xia Yanle didn't participate in the banquet that night, quite a few people still noticed her.

Some of these men genuinely came looking for a partner, while others came with a philandering mentality. They were old-fashioned and thought that as long as you had money, power, and fame, you wouldn't lack women. After finding out that Xia Yanle was an unimportant granddaughter, these men treated her frivolously, telling her all sorts of dirty jokes and making suggestive remarks.

Ironically, many girls from the same family were jealous of Xia Yanle because of this.

I think she's a vixen, seductive, and pretends to be aloof to play hard to get.

Xia Yanle decided to use a trick and sent her cousin and one of the men she particularly disliked into the room.

In the dark, the man had no idea who his bed partner was, and he just imagined it all. Meanwhile, his cousin deliberately tried to make it seem like a fait accompli, and didn't deny it.

"Aren't they a match made in heaven?" Xia Yanle commented with a smile.

"That's too toxic," Bai Weiran commented, followed by another sentence.

"But I think that's how it should be."

Wow, this author is working so hard! I'm going to vote for him!

Chapter Thirty-One: Friends' Game (Third Update)

The figures of a man and a woman floated above the sprawling mansion.

It was Xia Yanle's first time experiencing weightlessness, and she was not used to it. She found it difficult to maintain her usual aloof and graceful posture, and she couldn't help but lean forward, sliding her limbs in mid-air, resulting in her falling backward.

A special S-class aloof and yandere suddenly turns into a clumsy turtle.

Bai Weiran looked at her, recalling his own first time—it wasn't much better.

It takes some time to adapt to this state.

He didn't reach out to pull her, but only gave instructions from the side.

“Relax your body,” he said.

"It's like swimming. The more you struggle, the less control you have. Relaxing, on the other hand, helps you maintain stability."

Xia Yanle stopped moving as Bai Weiran instructed, her body gradually stabilizing, but her posture was still slightly clumsy.

"...What do you want to do?" she asked.

Bai Weiran just said to her, "...Why don't we give this perfect match another push?"

How to help?

Bai Weiran led her out of the room and up to the top of the mansion.

“Let’s guess,” he said slowly.

"If two naked people are escaping a room during a fire, will they cover their faces first or their bodies?"

Xia Yanle understood.

“I guess they’ll cover themselves,” she said, a mischievous smile spreading across her face.

"Then I'll guess they'll cover their faces!"

Bai Weiran snapped his fingers, and the fire alarm in the mansion blared deafeningly, piercing the sky. The man and woman inside, who were wailing and entwined in a life-affirming act, were startled and separated. Before they could understand what was happening, flames suddenly erupted all around them. They didn't know where the flames came from, but they quickly engulfed the surrounding doors, windows, and carpets, spreading towards the bed.

What about the harmony of life and love between men and women? In the face of life and death, all of that is bullshit. The two screamed loudly, and as the flames licked the bed, they couldn't even cover themselves with the blankets. Naked, they pushed each other and rushed out of the room.

People were coming and going in the corridor. The panicked butlers and servants were searching for a source of fire. There was no fire, but the alarm went off. The guests left their rooms in confusion and asked what was going on. Suddenly, two naked men and women rushed out of the room, catching everyone off guard.
