Bai Weiran couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Ning has a distinctly proud and competitive personality.

She likes roasted eggplant, but she had never eaten it before and didn't know how to eat it. She poked the eggplant flesh in the middle with her chopsticks, breaking it into pieces and making it look like a paste.

He then gave her a proper demonstration of how to eat roasted eggplant whole.

However, Qin Ning tried to imitate the gourd but failed several times and was never able to remove it completely.

Then she got into a feud with the roasted eggplant.

For four consecutive nights, she requested grilled eggplant, practicing until every bite was perfect.

"Elegant~" Bai Weiran didn't hesitate to give a compliment.

The girl raised an eyebrow and glanced at him sideways.

"Is that all you have to say? As someone who's beyond normal humans, can't you be a little more creative?"

Despite her disdainful and arrogant demeanor, the beauty mark under her right eye added a touch of youthful allure to her arrogance.

Bai Weiran thought, no wonder Lin Luo kept pulling at her and keeping her hanging on.

It's so satisfying to be able to gain a lot of benefits from an emotional high ground with just a little effort, or even without any effort at all.

Human nature is simple; people like to gain without effort and to win against the strong with the weak.

He couldn't help but think of a question—since there are other disciplinary committee members who travel between different parallel worlds besides himself, what would happen if someone adopted the same approach as him and spent their days with these beautiful girls who have flaws in their emotions but are easily won over by a little more tenderness and love? If the host's Dao heart is unstable and he gets caught up in it, what would happen?

After all, Qin Ning, who is only A-rank, is already so cute and charming. According to the planning, an S-rank girl would definitely be an upgrade of a completely different level.

Then he remembered that there was another rule marked in red in the app.

[During the mission, no inappropriate behavior that crosses the line between men and women is permitted, regardless of whether it is a two-way or reverse approach. Any violation will result in immediate termination of duty and the host being sent back to their original world.]

This is also a protective measure for yandere girls.

The system is quite rigorous.

Without such precautions, heroes don't turn into dragons; they just change the object of affection for yandere girls.

As he pondered, he responded to Qin Ning's words with a sea lion-like clapping and a monotone reading tone.

"You're so awesome!"

Qin Ning snorted, "...You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth."

She lowered her head to eat eggplant, while Bai Weiran watched her with his chin propped up on his hand.

Over the course of their time together, Qin Ning's appearance has undergone a dramatic transformation.

Besides that tacky tracksuit, he also ordered some girly clothes for Qin Ning from Taobao.

However, his selection criteria were based on price, from low to high.

His way of thinking was this: no matter what he bought, the cheap clothes on Taobao were all trash compared to the high-end clothes that Miss Qin Ning usually wore.

Since they're both trash, and she won't wear them again after the mission is over, what's the difference between buying her a dress that costs a hundred yuan or so, and a top that costs a few dozen yuan for three pieces with free shipping?

No, absolutely no difference.

Driven by a desire to save money, he decisively bought Qin Ning the cheapest clothes.

After that tacky tracksuit, the girl's standards kept getting lowered. Now she's wearing a bright red floral top from Northeast China, paired with cheap, clearance-sized athletic shorts. The shorts are way too big for her, and she has to tie them tightly with an elastic band to keep them from falling down.

It has a bit of a child wearing adult clothes.

Bai Weiran couldn't help but think of those online videos, showing the contrast between parents sending their children to their rural hometowns to be cared for by their elders for a few days.

Qin Ning was initially unwilling to wear these clothes that cost only a few dozen yuan with free shipping.

Bai Weiran repeated the same old story.

"Miss Qin Ning, you don't want others to know that you're wearing a tracksuit that hasn't been washed for two days, do you?"

Qin Ning is a young lady from a wealthy family, so of course she has never washed her own clothes.

Even though Bai Weiran had prepared a washing machine for her in the room, there was also a balcony for drying clothes.

You still need to teach me how to wash clothes step by step, and an instruction manual is included.

Someone who has never done housework, doesn't read instruction manuals, and doesn't separate light and dark clothes when washing.

The order consisted entirely of cheap clothing, which would definitely fade.

With two unfavorable factors combined, Qin Ning washed clothes in the washing machine for the first time, and because of that floral patterned cotton-padded jacket from Northeast China, she successfully dyed all the white shirts into varying shades of pink.

Bai Weiran came that day and saw her squatting on the balcony, poking her pink and white toes with her fingers, looking both angry and frustrated at the clothes that were stained in the washing machine.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Bai Weiran squatted down to comfort her.

"Now you have a new pink dress."

To comfort him, he took out two strawberry-flavored lollipops, one for her and one for himself. The two of them ate the candy, hung up the laundry, and then sat on the balcony looking at the pink-stained shirt.

She eventually accepted the clothes and now even wears them with ease.

Bai Weiran admired this.

He believed that Qin Ning's temperament meant she was destined for great things, given her exceptional adaptability.

After all, he himself didn't want to wear that patterned cotton-padded jacket from Northeast China.

Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.

Bai Weiran was wearing a mask, but he could see Qin Ning clearly through it. However, Qin Ning could only see the mask and didn't know where he was looking. From her perspective, Bai Weiran looked more like he was staring blankly at the wall.

Aside from locking her in this strange room, he did nothing else to hurt her.

Qin Ning sensed an unusual calmness from Bai Weiran that she had never felt before.

The masked man made her study, but not for high exam scores, nor to compare her with anyone.

It was simply to make her think deeply about what was said inside, and then reflect on herself.

When those chaotic thoughts settled down, she remembered many things.

She remembered some friends she had grown up with, just as the masked man had said.

A friend who is honest, upright, and hardworking.

They just stopped keeping in touch much after that.

She told the masked man this story, and he responded with a gentle question.

"Then why don't you associate with them?"

Qin Ning responded instinctively, "...They didn't come looking for me on their own initiative!"

"If they really care about me and are my friends, shouldn't they come to me?"

The masked man chuckled and patted her head, but surprisingly, this time it didn't make her feel angry or dissatisfied.

"Everyone is already doing their best to live their own life well, who has time to constantly care about others?"

"The fairest thing in the world is that people only have 24 hours in a day. They also need to work hard in their own lives—wake up, young lady. In this world, only those who want something from you will revolve around you. Otherwise, why would they pay attention to you all day, remember you, and seemingly care for you unconditionally? Do they just want to hear you say thank you?"

"People who don't expect anything from you won't actively revolve around you, pay attention to you all day, or unconditionally care for you. This is a paradox. Even with family or lovers, care is mutual; otherwise, the relationship cannot be maintained."

The reason why many people feel lonely is actually quite simple.

passive.

They are passive in all interpersonal relationships, tend to revert to the same issues, and prefer to gain without effort.

But the most free things are the most expensive, and the pie that falls from the sky can be poisonous, as can uninvited relationships.

Bai Weiran couldn't resist taking a jab at Lin Luo as he spoke.

"As for the kind of person who seems to pay no attention to you all the time, yet remembers many small details about you very clearly, appears gentle but is also aloof, don't doubt it, he just likes the feeling of you loving him. You don't need to expect this kind of person to be very knowledgeable, because his greatest achievement is your love."

Many playboys and scumbags are like this: they actually love themselves more, are narcissistic about the things they do for others, and revel in the love others give them, using the amount of love others give them to build their own value.

It's quite sad to think about.

“You can try reaching out and asking for help,” he encouraged.

"As long as you believe they are upright, kind, and honest friends, you will reap unexpected rewards when you reach out."

Qin Ning recalled what Bai Weiran had said back then.

Bai Weiran stood up.

"If you've finished eating, let's go for a walk today!"

This was the first time Qin Ning had heard of going out. She stared in surprise, biting her chopsticks. The young lady's unrefined actions were somewhat childish.

Bai Weiran chuckled softly.

"I told you before, as long as you can complete the work I assign you properly, I'll take you out for some activities this weekend. I mean what I say, you can't just stay in the room all the time, or you'll turn into Yu Yu the Superman!"

Qin Ning was very happy.

Happiness came so suddenly.

So much so that she overlooked the profound meaning behind Bai Weihou's words, "Activity, activity."

Half an hour later, a girl wearing a safety helmet, a reflective vest and worker's clothes for night work, cloth gloves, and holding a long iron clamp stood on the street corner. Her delicate, fair face was flushed, her eyes were filled with tears, and she shouted hysterically at Bai Weiran in defiance.

"I won't do it! Whatever you want! I can buy it for you, even ten Porsches! I just won't do it!"

Bai Weiran, dressed similarly, adjusted his helmet and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"I don't need you to give me ten Porsches, I just want you to work as a cleaner with me, come on, Miss!"

Qin Ning found it unbelievable.

This masked man actually dared to take her to the street to pick up trash!

Chapter Eleven: It's all your fault!

Late at night, a group of people gathered in a circle by the roadside, curiously talking to Bai Weiran and Qin Ning, who was hiding behind him out of shame, peeking out at him.

"A new person joined today?"

"Yes, thank you for your help, uncles and aunties." Bai Weiran adjusted the brim of his helmet in a gentlemanly manner, which made the group of thin and dark-skinned uncles and aunties in front of him laugh.
