"Claw meat!!! I want to eat claw meat!!!"

“That’s all. A crab only has two claws, and three crabs only have six claws. You’ve already eaten five.” Bai Weiran carefully picked at the meat inside the tiny crab legs with his chopsticks. It was a very delicate and time-consuming task, and it took a long time to peel out just a little bit. Meanwhile, there was a gluttonous little mouth waiting to eat the handouts.

I should have bought a crab-eating set.

"If you subtract five from six, you still have one left, right?"

"Didn't you think about whether I need to eat?"

"But this crab is clearly my prize!"

"I bought these crabs, so I'm in charge. You stay quiet."

Yu Mengmeng jumped onto the bed and kicked her legs wildly.

"I don't care, I don't care, I don't care! I want to eat the claw meat! Claw meat is the best! I don't want anything else!"

What can Bai Weiran do?

The child had never eaten crab meat before, but fell in love with it immediately, so it was impossible to scold him.

"You glutton, I'll eat you to death!"

Never mind, he doesn't really like eating crabs that much, but he just wanted to tease her.

He stuffed the last piece of meat into Mengmeng's mouth. Mengmeng's needs were met, and she chewed happily. Bai Weiran glanced at her, quite surprised as well.

That day, he severely embarrassed Su Cheng, and his yandere tendencies should have kicked in.

Only I care about my brother. How dare you bully him! I'll chop you to death with a machete!

But Yu Mengmeng didn't feel sorry for her, she didn't cry or make a fuss, and her attitude was more reasonable and objective.

"It's normal for Brother Cheng to lose because he's not as skilled as others."

"He relies on equipment, not ability."

Because she earned her abilities herself, she was even more able to see through Su Cheng's incompetence.

When women begin to analyze things rationally and objectively, the "Asahi" version can be phased out.

"Are we still not going tonight?" After finishing the crab claw meat, Yu Mengmeng ran back to Bai Weiran's side like a little pet and clung to him. Bai Weiran had just picked out a piece of crab meat with his chopsticks and hadn't put it in his bowl when Yu Mengmeng bit it off along with the chopsticks.

"……open."

She shook her head, chewing vigorously to express her feelings—she refused to loosen her teeth until she swallowed the crab meat.

The difference between Yu Mengmeng and Qin Ning is truly huge.

There are countless girls, and their personalities are all different.

There's also the NEET type like Yu Mengmeng.

Only after Yu Mengmeng finally swallowed it was Bai Weiran able to pull his chopsticks back.

"Aren't we going online today either?" Yu Mengmeng asked him.

After that day, the masked man put away his equipment and never logged into the Pure Land again.

"Okay, I won't go online anymore," Bai Weiran replied.

His use of his abilities multiple times in the game will definitely trigger data anomalies reported to the game database. In such a large game, there will inevitably be some anomalies every day. Occasionally, they might go unnoticed, but doing this in full view of everyone will not only surprise the players, but the official team will definitely send someone down to investigate.

He chose to flee and sell out, also deleting the data from the database.

Leaving early would prevent this bug from running rampant in the game, causing the development team to work overtime and pull their hair out to find him. It's a sign of empathy and mutual understanding among colleagues.

Now he and Yu Mengmeng are acting as if they never existed in the Pure Land.

"What new game are we going to play?" Yu Mengmeng asked expectantly.

Bai Weiran revealed a strange smile.

"Today we should play some really fun games. Come on, eat your fill first." He fed the little girl crab meat.

An hour later, the girl, who was strapped to the chair, began to cry and scream.

"You're lying to me, you're lying to me, you're lying to me! This isn't a fun game."

"Why isn't it fun?" Bai Weiran asked in a surprised tone.

"Reciting and memorizing meaningful articles is more fun than anything else. It's fun and it can also increase your wisdom. Start reciting now!"

Tonight, Yu Mengmeng's homework is to study the entire text of "Free and Easy Wandering".

Chapter Seventeen: The Parrot Named Wei Ran

"Yes, that's it. It's okay, take it slow and don't rush." ​​The nurse gently encouraged the girl as she walked slowly with crutches to rehabilitate her leg muscles.

The nurse praised the girl while stealing glances at her profile.

She was beautiful even when she was asleep, but now that she's awake, she's even more stunning. Her eyes are dark and deep, like large black crystal beads. When you look into her eyes, it's as if they're going to draw you in. Sometimes she herself gets lost in thought while looking at them. Especially since she has a small beauty mark under her eye, she exudes both charm and innocence.

The girl pursed her lips, feeling her muscles weaken and tremble. In the air-conditioned room, beads of sweat continued to slide down her cheeks.

The nurse felt sorry for the beautiful girl when she saw her like that.

"We've practiced enough for today, let's take a break!" she advised.

"I want to practice some more," Qin Ning retorted softly.

"I'm not tired."

It's all too common for rehabilitation patients to be so eager to get better.

The nurse was about to try to persuade him when Han Xin walked in, carrying a large cage covered with a cloth.

"Ningning, are you still doing rehabilitation?" he asked in surprise. The nurse gave him a look that said, "She's too stubborn, and I can't do anything about it."

Han Xin understood immediately and burst into laughter.

"Ningning, look what your uncle brought you!"

Qin Ning stopped what she was doing and looked over curiously. Han Xin lifted the cloth covering the cage, and there appeared a small, colorful parrot in the cage. It was pale yellow with a touch of emerald green on its tail feathers. Its cheeks looked like they were painted with blush, and it had two bright red, innocent bird eyes. It was extremely cute.

Girls love cute little animals, and Qin Ning was no exception; she stared at them intently.

Han Xin laughed, "This bird can even talk! It has many talents."

"Your uncle picked this out especially for you."

The parrot turned its head to look around, then suddenly tilted its head back and squawked—

"Qin Ning! Qin Ning!"

The voice was delicate, almost like a child calling out.

Qin Ning was so captivated that she forgot about her rehabilitation. The nurse quickly helped her to sit down by the bed and put away her crutches. Qin Ning then stared wide-eyed at the cage.

The parrot itself has one price, but if it learns these skills, the price increases by thirty times. If it learns Qin Ning's name and other personal information, the price increases again.

However, Han Xin was rich and didn't feel the pinch at all. He was happy to see Qin Ning smile.

"It has a lot of abilities. If you ever feel bored in your hospital room, just let it keep you company."

"It can even recite the Analects of Confucius! Let it recite a passage for you."

That parrot really does speak fluently without hesitation.

Confucius said: "A gentleman who is not dignified will not command respect, and his learning will not be solid. He should uphold loyalty and trustworthiness, not befriend those who are not as good as himself, and not hesitate to correct his mistakes."

The nurse standing nearby clapped her hands in delight.

"Wow, it's amazing! It's such a clever little bird. Qin Ning, do you like it?"

Han Xin and the nurse simultaneously noticed Qin Ning's unusual behavior—she opened her eyes wide, leaned against the cage, and stared intently at the parrot, as if she had said something shocking.

"What's wrong, Ningning?"

Qin Ning heard a distant, indistinct voice coming from the depths of her mind.

"........."

"Many people misunderstand the saying 'If you're not serious, you won't be authoritative.' They think that being steady and composed originally meant being concise and to the point, but now it's been interpreted as being expressionless and empty. This is because the foundation of being steady and composed is wrong..."

"What makes a person composed is that they clearly understand their own principles and stand firm in upholding them—it's definitely not about being quiet, wearing a mask, being aloof, always keeping their hands behind their back, occasionally letting out a cold laugh, and never saying a word, making others guess their thoughts and act according to their expressions. That's not composure, that's pretense..."

"........."

"And this guy said he didn't like you, didn't want you, but what did he do when you were drugged?"

"He has lost even the most basic human respect."

The girl's silence stunned the two adults.

Han Xin tentatively asked in a low voice, "...Ningning? Ningning!?"

"Ah! Uncle."

"Don't you like this parrot?" Han Xin frowned with concern.

But when I asked her last time, she clearly said she liked small animals.

"No, I like it very much... it's just that I'm a little surprised that it can talk..."

Han Xin smiled with relief.

"What's its name?"

"The previous trainer called it Xiao Qi because it was the seventh baby parrot born in that batch. Now that it's your bird, you can name it. What would you like to call it?"

"Weiran," Qin Ning answered quickly, surprising both the nurse and Han Xin.

"I want to call it—Weiran."

Han Xin remained noncommittal, "It sounds nice, but why is it called that?"

"Because it can recite the Analects of Confucius."

Han Xin and the nurse simultaneously typed out a question mark.

They are remnants of the old era, and the ship of the new era has no place to hold them. They don't even know what's popular with young people now.

After Han Xin left the hospital, he rested his chin on his hand and looked out the window at the ever-changing street scene.

He remembered that he had an employee with a similar name in his company.
