—Such a thing simply doesn't exist in the world.

Qin Ning appears to have a lot, but in reality, under the control of her parents, she has lost even more freedom of thought and action.

She longed to be loved, but the family members she should have cherished most managed her through emotional abuse, behavioral suppression, reprimands, and control.

She's the kind of person who eats a lot of meals but still feels hungry.

Lin Luo was just that cookie, and suddenly she felt loved, going from hungry to full in an instant.

The man was worth far less than she expected, but she was convinced that it was this cookie that had filled her up.

At this point, it's not practical to belittle the man or force him to defy his parents.

The former is more likely to fall into an emotional vortex again when faced with a situation, while the latter's family affairs are an unresolved tangled mess.

He didn't know the exact ratio of love to control in this situation; only Qin Ning, the person involved, could discern it. When she discerned it and was able to accept love but resist control, instead of simply resisting, getting angry, or submitting, she learned how to truly get along with her parents.

Only then will the actions taken reflect a truly complete personality with sound values.

It's utterly pointless to break off relationships and run away from home in anger because of being controlled and oppressed.

It's like someone giving you a disdainful look, and you clench your fists and shout in your heart, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't underestimate a poor young man," and "One day you'll be unable to reach me," a binary and uninteresting statement.

So Bai Weiran decided to start with the third path: friendship.

There are people with distorted values ​​in this world, but there are also many people with normal values. Learning to filter out and get close to them is an important task.

He tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, pushed the half-eaten box of strawberries in front of Qin Ning, and spoke casually.

"Let me guess, do your friends often put you in this situation?"

"You feel lonely, that you don't need anyone's help, and that no one needs your help, which makes you feel worthless."

"Then you go to find someone to depend on, to seek approval, but that person criticizes you, blames you, and makes you feel pain and stress."

"When you feel stressed and overwhelmed, you tend to gravitate towards friends who make you feel relaxed and have fun with them. But after the revelry, you find yourself alone again, and the initial loneliness returns?"

With each additional word he spoke, Qin Ning's face gradually paled.

Bai Weiran's words were like a knife piercing the heart, not painful, but gently stabbing in, making one clutch their chest and stirring up many memories and emotions.

Qin Ning does indeed often feel lonely.

She certainly possessed everything that everyone envied, but she didn't feel connected to the world. She often felt that if it weren't her today, but someone else was Qin Ning, it wouldn't matter, no one would care.

She carries many labels, but those labels have nothing to do with her personally.

She felt lost and wanted to seek comfort and guidance from her parents, but they were most concerned about their own careers. When they communicated with her, they only asked about her studies and course results. She rarely satisfied them and only received accusations and criticisms.

Her parents would criticize her for being indecisive and melancholic all the time, saying that's why she can't do things well. What's so difficult about the task? Plan strictly, follow the steps methodically, and solve problems as they arise.

This is a common problem among many successful people: rational thinking and efficient business considerations far outweigh human nature.

Qin Ning encountered parents who were very successful as social elites, but also failed as parents.

Next, Qin Ning entered the third stage that Bai Weiran mentioned.

She spent time with some hedonistic friends, indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun, buying whatever she wanted, and never missing a new luxury item. She could fill two rooms with unopened luxury goods, and she couldn't even remember how she felt when she bought them.

She also felt empty; she was lively and cheerful when she was with people, but felt incredibly empty when she was alone.

She still felt very lonely.

Lin Luo emerged from this loneliness.

Lin Luo would speak in a lonely and detached tone, saying things that those around her wouldn't say to her.

"You're just a kid who uses his parents' money to do whatever he wants."

"What value do you think you have? I have no interest in you."

"...Aren't you women all the same?"

But despite saying these things, Lin Luo's actions were still gentle and considerate towards her, and he never rejected her.

His explanation was: I need money, and you have money. You hired me as your tutor, so we are just employer and client.

Qin Ning became increasingly caught up in this tug-of-war, and the more she wanted to prove to Lin Luo that she was different from others.

But the harder she tried, the more Lin Luo dodged.

Finally, she couldn't stand the relationship anymore; she wanted to imprison and possess the other person.

She lured Lin Luo to a hotel under the pretext of celebrating her academic progress, drugged her, and then planned to...

She snapped out of her reverie and found a strawberry in front of her, followed by a fork, and then the masked man's hand.

The knuckles are distinct, and the skin appears white because the person doesn't often get sun exposure.

The hand holding the fork also feigned an air of high-class elegance and composure.

“Here, have some strawberries,” Bai Weiran said.

"Eating more of this will help girls maintain their beauty and health."

Strawberries are expensive; if it weren't for wanting to cheer her up, he wouldn't have been willing to buy this fruit himself.

A few apples and oranges will suffice; they provide enough nutrition.

There was no way around it; it was my first time committing kidnapping, so I felt a little guilty.

The girl took it, forgetting all about refusing, and took a bite. The strawberry tasted sweet and sour.

“If people only need to state the problem without offering any solutions, that would be the simplest thing in the world.” Bai Weiran also took a strawberry for himself.

The two ate fruit, with a copy of "The Analects" lying open on the table. The room was dimly lit, the balcony door was open, and a gentle breeze was blowing in from outside. Bai Weiran had specifically designed the room to allow natural airflow but prevent dust or insects from getting in.

Always having air conditioning on makes people like delicate cabbages in a greenhouse.

In a semi-open dimensional room, young men and women from different parallel universes chatted casually.

"No matter how well you do, others can point out your mistakes. So don't admire the people who raise questions, or those who ask sharp questions but whose words are all empty rhetoric. Instead, look at what answers people offer to the questions. There are no so-called correct answers to human matters in this world, but you can still distinguish between good and bad answers and attribute the improvement in your happiness index to these answers."

“I’ve described three situations that you might be experiencing: loneliness, being criticized and belittled by people close to you, and then falling into hedonism. People often unconsciously cycle through these three situations.”

"And this great sage has given us the answer: you should go and find the fourth kind of friend."

Bai Weiran tapped on a sentence on a page of the book.

"An honest, upright, and knowledgeable friend is someone with whom you will not only feel happy but also benefit."

The girl thought this made sense, but she didn't quite understand it.

"I still don't quite understand..."

Bai Weiran smiled and gave a simple answer.

"Let me talk about my personal habits—I look for people with whom I always feel I gain something from every conversation, and even if we don't talk, we feel very peaceful. But this is the answer that applies to me. You have to have your own. The key is happiness."

"Never feel pain and struggle during the process, and you firmly believe that you will be happy once you get the result. This is a big problem. If you are in pain 90% of the time and feel happy 10% of the time when you do something, no matter how great or amazing other people say it is, it is definitely not a good thing for you."

"So I don't need to memorize this sentence or explain its meaning to others. I can select and find these friends myself, and they gather around me."

"If you've lived your life to the fullest, what's the point of reading it then?"

Their conversation ended there.

Qin Ning sat at the table, resting her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought.

Bai Weiran was also flipping through a book beside him, his eyes lowered, his posture relaxed, and the cover was deliberately covered so that no one could see it.

He decided that he would guide Qin Ning to read the Four Great Classical Novels, and he would first preview them himself, filtering out content that was not suitable for a young girl.

Let's start filtering from the dreaded "Jin Xi Mei"—

Chapter Nine: The Yandere's Mental Illness

It was lunch break, but Bai Weiran didn't have much of an appetite, so she just bought a bag of white toast and ate it slowly at her workstation.

Today at the company's monthly meeting, two tech gurus got into an argument.

One of them stands tall in the company because of his excellent technical skills, while the other relies on his connections to get high performance ratings even without lifting a finger. Anyway, the two of them never meet and always have different opinions. They spend half of their monthly meetings arguing. Recently, the way these two tech giants argue has escalated.

Before the argument, one person ate garlic and durian, while the other ate chives and stinky croaker. They argued face to face, intending to use biological weapons to make the other suffer. However, in the end, in addition to each other, the office workers present also suffered as collateral damage.

Bai Weiran had been smelling the stench of digestive tract odor all morning, so naturally he had no appetite.

He ate his bread while browsing the detailed information in the app.

The Yandere Girl Compendium app categorizes yandere girls by level, with the difficulty of tasks varying according to their level.

It is basically divided into four levels: C, B, A, and S, with the difficulty increasing as you go higher.

Qin Ning is an A-level girl, and she started by challenging a mission with a difficulty level second only to S-level. This reflects Bai Weiran's confidence in himself as a game planner and a veteran player.

Each completed task will be rewarded, with the system automatically judging and informing you of the results. Higher-level tasks naturally yield better rewards, which will be deposited into your APP account in the form of points. These points are a currency that can be used in different parallel worlds, and you can exchange them for any skill or physical item.

Converting points into skills, hoping users can instantly master a foreign language—that's certainly possible.

You can also choose randomly, either for one day to master the skill, or for a month or forever to master it, with different prices.

You can own an entire building in the CBD, but the number of points required is far more than what you can achieve with just a few S-rank missions.

This is not a system for getting rich overnight, but rather a system for high-level, unconventional workers.

However, Bai Weiran didn't mind. They were both just corporate slaves, and choosing to be a dog that ate high-class beef every meal was always more comfortable than a dog that could only lick bones without meat.

He noticed a very strict rule highlighted in red on the official website: "You can redeem points in any world, and it will take effect immediately. However, note that skills or items will only exist in the world where they were redeemed at that moment."

This means that in a parallel universe, you can use points to become incredibly powerful and wealthy, but it's all useless when you return to reality.

Moreover, missions always come to an end, and your sudden wealth in another parallel world is nothing but a mirage.

It can be said that it is quite close to reality.

No matter how high you climb the rankings in a game by spending money, once the mobile game is over, you still have to face the real world before you, there's nowhere to escape.

But the game will eventually come to an end.
