"...?"

"The purpose of punishment is to make people realize they're wrong. If you already know you're wrong, then I've achieved my goal even without punishing you." He smiled.

He really couldn't bring himself to hit such a well-behaved girl.

Li Yue, that kind of troublemaker, is alright; bullying brats need to be taught a lesson. But Bei Kexin was a victim before.

He doesn't have a penchant for whipping a scarred person.

Because he was facing such a gentle and kind girl, he also let go of his usual stern attitude and softened his tone.

He seemed to be chatting with friends like Guoguo and Achao in a similar manner.

"I hope you are here not to be punished, but to help you improve."

"I hope that through these studies, exercises, and an orderly life, you can gradually realize the harm that your past life has caused you."

In fact, it can be difficult in some ways and easy in others.

When you fall into a state of frenzy, thinking only about one thing and losing your appetite, that is the beginning of destruction.

Whom God would destroy, He first makes mad.

His idea was quite simple.

Teach them to return to an orderly life, away from the source of chaos and all disturbances.

Eat well, sleep well, exercise well, engage in physical labor, read beneficial books, temporarily escape the pressure of the so-called education system, and reintroduce the meaning and slow pace of daily life into their lives.

He smiled at Bei Kexin.

Although the girl couldn't see it.

He was stunned and lost in thought, muttering to himself with his head down.

"An orderly life...?"

“Yes, as long as you can get back to that kind of life, get better, stop loving someone in a disordered way, and have the ability to judge people—” He thought for a moment and tapped his knuckles lightly on the piano practice manual.

“A good relationship should be like health food. After you consume it, you will be healthy, your mood will improve, and your self-worth will increase. On the other hand, a bad relationship is like junk food. It will make you feel unwell, depressed, and less and less self-aware.”

"I hope to get you to stop eating junk food."

He thought that a one-on-one opportunity could also serve as a reminder to her.

He had high expectations for Bei Kexin.

She has the potential to be the first yandere girl to leave the dark room.

Of course, he didn't care about such mundane things as mission rewards!

"...Is that so?"

"Well, so there's no point in you guys going against me." Bai Weiran shrugged.

"The best way to leave this place is for you all to be safe and sound. The more trouble you cause, the longer you'll stay—I don't think that's what you want, is it?"

Bei Kexin smiled shyly, turned to look at the piano, her expression bashful yet proactively extending goodwill.

"...Counselor Bai, may I try out this piano?"

He nodded and sat there, watching her play with a light and cheerful air.

The music seemed to melt into the moonlight, peaceful and serene.

It was a song he didn't recognize, but even someone like him who lacked musical talent could tell that she was indeed very talented.

A once-prosperous young lady from a once-wealthy family.

The silver bell hanging on his left hand never rang during the performance.

Dewdrops clung to the leaves outside the window, gathering on the blades before trickling down their veins.

The music stopped.

"Counselor Bai, what do you think?" A soft, expectant voice asked.

"Yes, you played very well, but it was too late. Don't play at this time next time."

"…………"

Lantern Festival Extra

Red, round lanterns hang high on the trees on both sides of the road, spreading out from both sides. When the east wind blows, they spin around and fall like fragrant flowers, creating a beautiful scene as spring transitions into summer.

Carriages came and went, and the hooves of horses clattered.

A man dressed in blue robes with his hair tied up, wearing a jade belt and scarf, strolled leisurely in the courtyard.

"The road is filled with the fragrance of carved carriages, the sound of phoenix flutes is heard, the jade pot shines, and fish and dragons dance all night."

The girl next to him was licking a malt sugar figurine and repeating it earnestly.

"Fish dance all night long!"

"…Mengmeng, your Chinese language skills need improvement," Bai Weiran said. The girl next to him raised an eyebrow and looked over, looking puzzled.

"What do I need a good score in Chinese? Look, if you master math, physics, and chemistry, you can go anywhere in the world without fear. But Chinese isn't mentioned here!"

Bai Weiran: …………

Modern scientific materialism is killing the humanities.

Mengmeng was dressed in ancient costume, with her long white hair tied up, wearing a snow-white dress with a peony embroidered on the chest. The short skirt made her look like an ancient female knight-errant, extremely pretty.

They are in a fantasy world.

The festive atmosphere is even stronger in the traditional Chinese style during the Lantern Festival.

This is a peaceful world of immortals and demons, where humans and demons coexist.

Walking on the street, you'll see all sorts of strange and unusual things.

There were ethereal cultivators, beggars struggling through hardship, butchers with exposed bellies, and graceful, alluring female demons who swayed with their steps. Mengmeng's white hair and red eyes didn't seem unusual at all. When no one was watching her on the street, she boldly stared back at people, her bright red eyes unable to take it all in.

I've always been the one being watched, but now it's my turn to be watching others!

As she watched, she would occasionally whisper something in Bai Weiran's ear.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Bai Weiran, look at that fox demon, she's so ugly!"

"Isn't it an insult to the name of fox demons that they are so ugly?"

"Look at that pretty lady walking over there, her chest is even flatter than mine!"

Bai Weiran glanced at it and remained silent for two seconds.

"Mengmeng, that's a man."

She's sunk so low that she's comparing her chest size to a man's.

Mengmeng immediately pouted.

But she was soon drawn to other things.

The entire street is like an ancient night market, bustling with people and filled with all kinds of delicious snacks.

She looked around, her eyes lit up, and she pulled Bai Weiran to a stall.

The wide-faced shop owner immediately beamed with joy when he saw business coming in.

"Alright, little girl, what do you want? My mutton head skewers are the best on the street, want some?"

Mengmeng stared at the vegetable counter, her curious eyes round and bright.

Bai Weiran shrugged and ordered one.

Since we're here, it would be a shame to go back without trying it.

Once you get your hands on it, you'll realize that it's actually pig intestines wrapped in a layer of caul fat. You tear it off, rinse it clean, and then wrap shredded mutton head meat inside. It's a small treat, then you fry it in oil until it's golden brown. It's like a snack; you can pick it up with a skewer or eat it directly with your hands. It's incredibly fragrant and delicious, with a crispy exterior and a fresh interior.

The two ate one serving and then went back to ask for another.

Many customs have faded in modern society, but they remain strong here.

Many stalls displayed riddles. Mengmeng took a liking to a rabbit lantern. The rabbit was holding a bowl with white rice inside, and buried in the rice was a lamp wick that had been soaked in oil.

They tossed out coins for riddles to be solved.

The rabbit lanterns were expensive, so the shopkeeper asked them to guess three questions in a row. These three questions were quite cleverly designed.

The title is: [Wedding Night]

First answer: Answer with a poem.

Second question: Please answer with a wine name.

Third answer: I don't want anything, I just want one word.

They took down the lanterns, and Mengmeng, carrying one, looked on with great admiration.

"Bai Weiran, you know so much, your Chinese is really good."

Bai Weiran remained silent for a few seconds.

In this atmosphere, he decided to take back his statement that he had a system to look up the answers.

The incident occurred as they left the lantern stall and turned into the alley.

"Hey, stop right there!"

A few thugs with malicious eyes blocked their way.

Bai Weiran put a hand on his forehead.

He didn't expect that it would actually happen.

The thugs picking a fight is a classic example.

Mengmeng carried a rabbit lantern, her eyes shining.
