"Sorry, did I scare you?"
The person speaking didn't sound embarrassed at all; on the contrary, they seemed very enthusiastic.
“I come here every night to burn incense, and I also take your photo with me when I go for a walk.”
Lu Yinian, whether truly insane, feigning madness, or simply emotionally agitated, had a flushed face as she took out the photos hidden inside her phone case.
It's as if this person has no normal life, and everything revolves around him in an absurd way.
Gu Xinglan unconsciously took two steps back. "Lu Yinian, you'd better go see a psychologist."
"No need." Lu Yinian lowered his head, slowly letting go of the obsession in his eyes, and said softly, "It's just so you know that there is still someone who is completely devoted to you before you leave completely."
Lu Yinian was truly devoted to him, but he couldn't give her anything in return.
"I will remember." Gu Xinglan forced a smile. "We are still good friends. I can appear when you need me, but the way you are now makes me feel like this is the only time we can meet."
"Intuition, we'll never see each other again."
His intuition told him that he would probably never see Gu Xinglan again.
Lu Yinian took out his phone. "I'll transfer you tens of thousands more. If you can avoid being a maid, then don't. There are so many opportunities out there now. Even doing live streaming online would be better than being a maid. Otherwise... it's a waste of your face."
"Don't."
Gu Xinglan covered the phone screen with her hand.
"Don't transfer money to me. If anyone should transfer money, it should be me. I still owe you money, and I have money on me now."
Upon hearing the word "rich," Lu Yinian showed no surprise. After a long silence, he finally said, "That's fine..."
Who can say the words "sugar baby" without any shame?
He believed that Gu Xinglan was being kept by the president of the Li Group.
"President Li has been making some big moves lately. Meng Guanhe has been busy with a lawsuit, and someone has found out that the one relentlessly pursuing him is a subsidiary of Li's Holdings."
Hearing this, Gu Xinglan was not surprised at all.
Lai Tae-ho's previous actions were even crazier than this.
-
The sun was already shining through the window.
Looking out the window, you can see sunlight filtering through the shadows of the mountain peaks, the beams of light visibly scattered.
The two were having breakfast. Lu Yinian finished eating first and was already putting on his suit.
There was a double knock on the door.
"Brother Lu, am I coming in?"
The smart door lock can be opened with just a password and fingerprint. The person who came in was dressed in a trendy outfit and wore a large fisherman's hat.
Gu Xinglan was about to turn her head to look when Lu Yinian blocked her completely.
"Wow, you smell so strongly of alcohol! Why didn't you tell me you were drinking? I should have come and kept you company..."
Hear his voice before he sees him.
The person at the door hadn't even had time to change into slippers when Lu Yinian pushed them out of the doorway.
"Why are you pushing me? There's someone else there. Is this the new assistant you assigned to me? Who is it? Who is it..."
The person being pushed by Lu Yinian had a similar build to him, and his voice also sounded somewhat similar to his.
Gu Xinglan, chewing her fried dough stick slowly, stared intently at the two people shoving each other in the entryway.
“That guy just signed the contract, he’s so disrespectful,” Lu Yinian said to Gu Xinglan as she walked to the dining table, wiping the sweat from her brow.
"I'll be going on a business trip out of town for the next few days. You can stay here as long as you like. Just remember, don't open the door to strangers."
"Have a safe trip." Gu Xinglan waved with a smile.
"Okay..." Lu Yinian hesitated before leaving.
"Could you give me a goodbye hug?"
"It's no big deal." Gu Xinglan wiped her mouth, stood up, and gave the other person a tight hug.
"Fuck!"
The person peeking through the crack in the door was terrified.
"May your work go smoothly." Gu Xinglan patted the other person on the shoulder.
Even after the door was closed, the chattering of the young people outside could still be heard.
"Brother Lu, are you...are you gay??"
"You're kidding me! Have you even memorized the script I was told to memorize?!"
"Wait, wait, are you changing the subject? Is that your sister-in-law in the room...?"
The sound gradually faded away, and the surroundings became completely quiet.
Faced with the vast space, Gu Xinglan suddenly understood the loneliness that Lu Yinian had mentioned—the feeling of not belonging to such a large space.
H Administrator: [Long time no see.]
The electronic voice in my head was replaced by an extremely deep voice.
"Shouldn't my cheat code be back by now?" Gu Xinglan made a toasting gesture in the air with the water glass that held soy milk.
Yesterday's hidden storyline progressed significantly.
Administrator H: [...Yes, I also have something else to discuss with you today.]
[Your role-playing task is now being done for you by someone else, right?]
Gu Xinglan nodded.
Yu Yue from the villa helped him a lot.
Administrator H: [We can now see the other party's lifeline and status alerts, and we're sharing them with you now.]
[The lifeline, as the name suggests, shows how far she is from death. The status alert displays the surrounding conditions, which will help you escape danger and continue the mission.]
As soon as the words left my mouth, a red line appeared in my mind, along with parentheses: ———— (Excited)
"...What does 'excitement' mean?"
Administrator H: [Literal meaning.]
Thinking of the shady things Hong Liang and the other party often did in the corners of the villa, Gu Xinglan stopped thinking about it.
If she dies early, then the role-playing task will fall back on him.
If he does anything harsh to Li Hetai now, he'll probably die even faster.
The image of a boy piercing a frog with an arrow under the silvery light in a cold pond immediately flashed into Gu Xinglan's mind, and she quickly shook her head.
Administrator H: [Due to the fact that mission participant #153 has restarted the hidden storyline, the penalty status is now lifted.]
[Gain the "Swift as the Wind" buff]
[Obtain God Skin]
[Gain Chef Skill (Proficient)]
[Obtained a skill card pending]
After her mind finished processing the information, it went blank. An indescribable strange feeling washed over her body. Gu Xinglan gritted her teeth, took two steps at a time, and lay down on the sofa in discomfort.
"system!"
Why is there a prelude to this cheat program coming back?!
System: [Host, just hold on for a few more hours. You have four cheat codes.]
The discomfort caused by drinking a few hours earlier was completely replaced by stimulation of other senses.
My body has become extremely sensitive to any touch, including the squeezing sensation from my arms against the sofa, which has been amplified several times over.

The clock hands slowly moved across another time period.
The sun was no longer visible through the east-facing window; instead, the west-facing window was bathed in orange-toned sunlight that filled the entire kitchen and spilled onto the living room floor.
The door clicked shut.
The studio had only been open for a short time, and everyone was busy running around, including the boss, who also had to go out for social engagements.
Pei Xiao opened the door, a faint trace of alcohol still visible on his abdomen. During a business dinner, someone bumped into him and spilled wine all over him. The hotel was near his apartment complex, so he asked Lu Yinian to bring him some clean clothes, but Lu Yinian's phone was constantly busy.
