When the realities of food, tuition, accommodation, and other practical problems weigh heavily on a person, romance has to take a backseat.
Because for humans, survival is the most primal biological instinct.
Now Mengmeng lives at home, and he takes care of her food and accommodation. She doesn't have to worry about anything. Apart from doing practice problems and playing games, she can focus all her attention on herself.
If this continues, he will never be able to persuade Mengmeng to return to her own world.
It wasn't that Bai Weiran was unaware of this principle; it was just that before Guoguo brought it up, Bai Weiran subconsciously avoided thinking about it.
Mengmeng came into this world all alone, forced to leave her home. The innocent and adorable little girl was left to fend for herself in this dangerous society, and she felt extremely uneasy.
A moment of pity crossed his mind, but Mengmeng's posture of wielding two machetes and fighting like a madwoman brought Bai Weiran back to his senses in an instant.
Mengmeng is an S-class yandere who can take down a whole harem right from the start. If I hadn't stopped her, she could have single-handedly killed Su Cheng on the spot.
Even if she isn't as smart as Xia Yanle, she's still someone that ordinary humans can't handle.
However, Mengmeng has always acted too harmlessly, too well-behaved, and too mischievous, hiding her dangerous nature beneath her angelic face.
Let her leave her home and go out to support herself.
If she felt it was too hard and couldn't bear the pressure of reality, he would take the opportunity to persuade her to go home.
In short, we can't spoil her like this!
He made up his mind, and without realizing it, he tore open the snack in his hand and put it in his mouth. The next second, his face turned pale and he suddenly covered his mouth.
"Guoguo, what is this? Ugh—uh—"
He felt like he had eaten a pile of shit, which contained undigested rotten eggs.
Guoguo spread her hands innocently, "--Stinky tofu, I said, I can't guarantee it will taste good."
Bai Weiran didn't have time to speak. He covered his mouth and rushed to the men's restroom. When he pushed the door open, he found that all the people standing by the sink were his project team. Everyone coughed and rinsed their mouths violently, and the sound of gagging filled the room. The stench was so strong that it was hard to tell whether it was real excrement or stinky tofu residue.
Today's result: Guoguo wiped out the R&D team.

Xia Yanle walked on campus. The warm winter sun shone on her, draping her cream-white cashmere coat with a hazy golden veil. Her long hair swayed gently behind her like waves as she walked, attracting attention wherever she went.
One pair of eyes, in particular, held a complex expression and followed her intently.
They then deliberately appeared on the path through the fallen poplar trees, blocking the way.
Xia Yanle looked up and saw a handsome young man staring at her with a tender, gentle, loving, helpless, and complicated expression.
It was Qin Yun, whom we hadn't seen in a long time.
Xia Yanle frowned.
She had almost forgotten about him after not seeing him for so long.
After experiencing events far exceeding the norm—drinking chicken soup on a snowy mountain in the middle of the night, attempting murder daily, being accused at her parents' graves, being kidnapped by a mysterious organization, and being transported to another world—she lived there, learned a great deal of knowledge she had never seen before, encountered people like herself, met Bai Weiran who resembled her, and even fought back to kill the organization's reinforcements sent again.
Looking back at Qin Yun now, Xia Yanle suddenly felt a bit amused and exasperated.
...What, does this person still live in their own fantasy world every day?
Qin Yun was unaware of what had happened to her.
He's just not doing well.
When Xia Yanle suddenly disappeared from his life, he first felt relieved, but then felt a sense of loss.
After spending a considerable amount of time entangled with the girls around him, he suddenly found himself facing a complete collapse of his life.
He lost the internship he was about to get, and his grades kept dropping. This final exam, his professor has already given him an ultimatum, warning him that if his grades don't improve, he may face expulsion.
He remembered how good Xia Yanle was.
Although Xia Yanle isolated and controlled him, she never let him fall to this point where he was squeezed by reality and had nowhere to escape.
Just as Guoguo argued in another parallel world, normal people prioritize romance over love when faced with the pressure of survival.
Xia Yanle remained motionless, staring at the person in front of her.
Qin Yun began to pour out his heart, recounting how good things had been between them, how his heart fluttered when he met Xia Yanle, and how excited he was that he couldn't sleep all night when Xia Yanle first agreed to go on a date with him.
Xia Yanle raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
On their first date, her best friend "stole" him away.
Qin Yun finally sighed and drew a conclusion.
"...We were both wrong, Yan Le."
"You shouldn't have tried to control me like that, but I can't let you go. As long as you're willing to change that twisted, abnormal, and morbid state, Yan Le, I'm willing to change with you—"
Qin Yun suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkling brightly, her composure captivating.
Xia Yanle then remembered that sentence.
A man is a boy until he dies.
The true meaning of this sentence should be to maintain a passion for life and a yearning for new knowledge until death. However, many people seem to have misunderstood it and used it in a distorted way, using it as a fig leaf for being irresponsible towards life and oneself.
As she thought about it, a half-satisfied smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
Mr. Weiran, however, never said such a thing.
He is older than Qin Yun.
But at this moment, she felt that Bai Weiran was more like a teenager than Qin Yun.
He is experienced and skillful, with a keen eye. He understands that life is full of uncertainties, and his pragmatism is tempered with honesty and ambition. He maintains a warm and human touch amidst the cold rules of society.
It's true, once you've seen something truly good, you can never go back.
“But I’m not willing to change,” she replied with a smile.
"I'd be happy to stay this morbid forever."
"Hey, Qin Yun, there's someone in this world who understands me just like I do." She held the documents and laughed brightly in the sunset.
A childlike, innocent smile suddenly bloomed on her cool and beautiful face, leaving Qin Yun stunned. Then, the smile took a sharp turn for the worse, revealing a mischievous intent.
"Who do you think you are?"

Chapter Sixty: You Can't Just Buy and Sell As You Please
Who do you think you are?!
As the wind rises, the bare branches of the poplar trees rustle against each other.
For a moment, Qin Yun thought he had misheard.
Xia Yanle, that's Xia Yanle.
In his mind, she was an exceptionally intelligent, aloof, taciturn, and solitary ice queen.
...How could she swear at him with such vulgar language?
No, she's not that kind of person. She's the kind of person who, even when hurt, remains aloof and refuses to admit it, hiding in a corner like a proud cat licking its wounds. When he tries to care for her, she scratches him, meowing hatefully. But he knows that these are just her resentful expressions, her desire to love yet her resistance to love.
Then, recalling that she had disappeared for a while, Qin Yun's expression instantly turned strange. He quickly filled in the blanks in his mind, and a surge of indignant anger rose in the young man's heart.
He suddenly took a step forward, his eyes darkening.
"Yanle, did someone bully you? Did she make you like this?!"
"Tell me, who is it, who is this person—I will never forgive him!!"
His expression was heavy with resentment, as if he were carrying the sins of the world on his shoulders.
Xia Yanle took a step back.
I feel like if I get too close to him, I'll catch his stupidity bacteria.
She raised an eyebrow, realizing Qin Yun's logic, and instantly found it both laughable and absurd.
Because she changed her attitude towards him, he assumed she had been bullied and hurt.
Otherwise, why would she change?
Her feelings for him should be eternal and unchanging—
Qin Yun seemed to have always been this kind of person.
She loved scientific research and was completely absorbed in it. Qin Yun had repeated several times, "That's because you haven't had a good relationship. That's why you're so focused on your research. Once you have a good relationship, you'll realize that life is only complete with love."
He associates his self-worth with a good relationship; a woman is incomplete without a good relationship, and that good relationship partner is him.
Qin Yun's expression of grief and indignation instantly turned into astonishment.
Xia Yanle bent down and laughed in front of him without any regard for her image.
While laughing, she stretched out one hand in a blocking gesture.
"Let me laugh for a bit first, sorry."
She laughed fiercely for thirty seconds before straightening up and wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her index finger.
"I just think it's hilarious."
Her laughter made Qin Yun feel ashamed, indignant, and angry.
The profound weight of wanting to go through fire and water for her was shattered by her smile, like a hailstorm hitting a burning ember, chilling him to the bone.
Instead, I felt like a clown.
"You're funny," Xia Yan said with a laugh, tilting her head as she added.
"I find it funny too."
She pointed to herself.
"I laugh at myself for ever wanting to die with someone like you."
She then pointed at Qin Yun.
