Those who rebel willfully are manageable; drastic measures can be used to deal with them. But for those who only apologize and feel guilty, you can't just not help them, but you can't just ignore them either—they're sticky and difficult to deal with, which is a real headache.

The ruthless are easier to deal with, but the weak are harder to handle.

An Qin stood there watching Bai Weiran's retreating figure.

He always had a smile on his face and looked cheerful.

Alone in the meeting room, she smiled and opened her lunchbox.

Eat with more energy than usual.

But soon, her movements slowed down, and her chewing also slowed down.

His eyes gradually darkened and lost their shine.

She stared at the mineral water bottle in front of her, her expression suddenly filled with panic.

Anqin is happy when people are around her, and she is also infected by their happiness.

But when she is alone, she feels intense unease, doubt, and suspicion.

Anqin is weak.

But she didn't want to cause trouble for others, so she kept this weakness to herself.

She didn't even know how to seek help.

I just want to fit in when everyone is happy.

Mr. Bai said this was her dream.

She initially thought so too; who wouldn't want to hold an art exhibition in such a great gallery?

But once that feeling of being moved passed, I was alone and quiet.

My thoughts tangled up like countless delicate rose thorns.

She got entangled and fell in—

"No, no, no..."

She shook her head violently, desperately trying to shake those tangled worries out of her head.

"I can't think about it anymore."

"They've been so good to me, what more could I ask for? Aren't I much better off than before?"

Anqin took the spoon and slowly ate the soup that came with her meal.

The delicious, upscale restaurant food was something she couldn't afford when she lived alone.

But as she ate, tears suddenly streamed down her face again.

Some people feel eager to try out a brand new world with more possibilities unfolding before them.

Those are the type of people who strive for success.

Many people feel afraid and hesitate when the unknown world unfolds before them.

Anqin undoubtedly belongs to the latter category.

Out of good intentions, they expanded the boundaries of her reality and gave her more possibilities.

This also plunged Anqin into anxiety.

Originally, her world was small, she felt inferior, and there were no other possibilities.

She can also be content with her situation, like a small animal lying quietly in a dark nest.

Without room to breathe, there will be no more worries and anxieties.

However, the arrival of Qin Ning and Bai Weiran significantly expanded her living space. An Qin's life became more comfortable, and more possibilities unfolded before her eyes without any other worries. But at the same time, it also gave her more space to think with fear and apprehension.

As Anqin felt a surge of anticipation, an even greater fear also welled up within her.

Because in her heart, she felt that all of this was going to disappear.

She picked up the mineral water bottle, unscrewed the cap, and took a few sips, but her hands began to tremble involuntarily.

Chapter Nine: Weakness is also part of human nature

She remembered this brand of mineral water.

She hasn't had a drink in a long time.

The last time I saw this brand of mineral water bottle was at school.

She was chased with nowhere to escape and was eventually caught and locked in the toilet.

She frantically pounded on the door for help from inside, but the people outside just laughed.

She vehemently admitted her mistake, but the people outside laughed even louder.

Bucket after bucket of dirty water used to wash mops was poured in, soaking her completely, and she trembled uncontrollably on the spot.

Finally, the people outside chuckled and threw in a bunch of empty water bottles.

An Qin closed her eyes and abruptly pushed the bottle of water far away, as if she wanted to avoid it at all costs.

She always hid in her own world.

Whether in his own attic or in a dark room, he was always painting alone.

On the one hand, she loves the world she created.

She had everything there.

On the one hand, there is a lack of courage to face reality.

Once she's out of that state and remembers reality, the better the reality is, the clearer the bad memories become.

She is an outstanding artistic talent, with a delicate and sensitive nature that clashes with the rational personalities of Bai Weiran and Qin Ning.

When the boundaries between her reality and imagination begin to merge.

Anqin's struggle had only just begun.

The more you want what's best for her and try to get her out of that environment, the more you're also pulling at her inner fears and all the traumatic experiences she's had in the past.

Anqin is timid, kind, gentle, and introverted by nature.

There was no fierce resistance from other yanderes, which is why Bai Weiran couldn't find anything unusual.

On the surface, they are kind and gentle, but inside they are conflicted and infuriated.

But she wouldn't show this side of herself to others, especially not to Bai Weiran and Qin Ning.

Unaware of their intentions, she retreated and resisted.

Knowing how good they were to her, Anqin dared not say anything more.

Because—I don't want to cause trouble for others.

They dare not cause trouble for those who dislike them, fearing that it will attract more hatred and rejection, or even physical abuse.

It's rare to meet someone who cares about her, so she's even more hesitant, fearing that the other person will be unhappy, give up on her, and leave her.

She covered her face, suppressing her worry and panic.

Mr. Bai and the others have been so kind to me...

I need to be good to them too...

I need to treat them even better... to be worthy of them...

She let go of her hands, picked up the utensils, her face calmed down, and began eating her late-night snack as if nothing had happened.

Bai Weiran walked into the lounge, where there was only a dim light.

Qin Ning lay on the simple bed with her back to him, wrapped in a small blanket, fast asleep.

He didn't wake her; he just stayed quietly beside her and checked his phone.

I looked through the information about Anqin on the platform very carefully, over and over again.

Although all this information will enter his memory when he enters the mission.

But when he looked at the platform again, he noticed something strange.

Compared to before, An Qin's personal information—he felt it was a little too little.

The previous tasks were very detailed, listing all the major and minor events in his life, leaving nothing out.

However, the account of An Qin was very brief, only briefly mentioning her life story, which was covered in a single page on the phone.

This is because Anqin is truly simple.

Or perhaps... this task actually secretly increases his difficulty in other ways?

It's not impossible, after all, in the previous level, so many yandere levels changed, and the system turned a deaf ear.

As he was pondering, the blanket behind him shifted. Qin Ning got up, hugged the blanket, and naturally pulled him over, leaning against his arm.

Her little face rested on his shoulder, her big black and white eyes half-closed, yawning.

"...Did I do well, Brother Weiran?"

After a busy day, Qin Ning wanted to take credit.

"That's too good, I can't do it."

"Hehe, Brother Weiran can't live without me."

Qin Ning yawned, hugged the blanket, and happily snuggled into his arms, swinging her arms around his neck.

"...Since I'm so great, what reward will Brother Weiran give me?"

Seeing her sly look, he chuckled and asked her a question in return.

"You're not thinking of some weird reward, are you?"
