…

The early morning sunlight shines through the curtains, casting patches of light on the narrow single bed.

In a small one-bedroom apartment in a village in the city, Jian Yunlan opened her eyes drowsily and smelled a damp, musty odor, as well as some kind of pungent smell of oil smoke. The smell of the oil smoke was like something burnt, which was not very pleasant.

The sound of the cell phone vibrating became more and more urgent, as if it was urging me to die.

Jian Yunlan yawned and fumbled for her phone on the bedside table as she remembered. The screen lit up, showing more than a dozen unread work messages, most of which were from the project team leader...

Wait, project leader?

What a strange word.

Jian Yunlan suddenly woke up from the sleepiness in her mind and opened her eyes wide. A piece of paper slowly fell to the ground, with the words "Resignation Application" written in black and white on it.

Looking at the time displayed on the calendar, Jian Yunlan's pupils trembled:

——"This, this is the day when I was laid off and fired in my previous life?!"

Even after so much time, he still clearly remembers that day. He had actually written his resignation letter, but before he had time to submit it, he received a notice that the entire project team was laid off. The life trajectory that had been going on smoothly for so long was disrupted in an instant. In the words of later generations, this day was the day when "the gears of fate began to turn."

After being laid off, he became a food blogger. It was not until after the car accident that his soul was selected by the Wanjie Live Broadcasting System and entered the book-crossing challenge. He started to set up a stall and then met Taotie, Hu Danggui and Niutou...

"Could it be that this is all a dream?" Jian Yunlan stared blankly at the rental house, mobile phone, and environment in front of him that were exactly the same as in his previous life. He rubbed his hair in confusion and said to himself:

"I've never been in a car accident, and I've never been in a book world to set up a stall. Was everything just my fantasy before I died suddenly from overtime at work?!"

As soon as the voice fell, a pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of him:

[Introduction: The real world is the world where you truly live, and the joys and sorrows of countless people are played out here. He, Jian Yunlan, is a domineering snack stand owner who controls the lifeline of global cuisine; he, Taotie, is an arrogant and stubborn ancient beast; he flees, he chases, he can’t fly away even if he has wings...】

[Do you need to view the complete information of the 'real world'? whether】

It had almost become muscle memory, and Jian Yunlan nodded "no" neatly.

System: “…” Not surprising at all!

Jian Yunlan had already turned off the light screen and sat up from the bed with shining eyes.

Not an illusion!

The system exists, and Taotie is real, so everything he has experienced is certainly not a dream, that's great. But...where are Taotie and everyone else?

Jian Yunlan touched the quilt beside him and discovered that a pillow had appeared on his narrow bed at some point. The quilt beside him was sunken and still had some warmth, as if someone had fallen asleep next to him not long ago.

There were two group photos on the bedside table. The background of the first photo was at the Silent Stage, with Jian Yunlan and Taotie kissing. The photo was surprisingly beautiful, like a screenshot from a movie.

In the second photo, the background is the Jian family villa. Jian Yunlan is busy in front of a tricycle, Niutou is helping, Hu Danggui and Taotie are eating secretly on the side, and the housekeeper and other servants are surrounding them with happy smiles.

Jian Yunlan happily turned the two photos over and over again:

"When were these photos taken? Why can't I remember?"

Before he could think about anything.

Because, suddenly, from the kitchen outside, there was a series of earth-shaking noises of ping-pong!

It was as if someone was going to tear down the entire house, and along with it came the... fragrant smell of food?

Jian Yunlan quickly put on her coat and left the bedroom. What came into her sight was——

In the orange-red twilight, a tall, silver-haired man was wearing a simple home suit and a floral apron that seemed too small for him. His long silver hair was tied into a ponytail and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his muscular arms.

Taotie is holding a spatula in his hand with a serious expression, as if he is cooking. If you ignore the dilapidated kitchen in the background that looks like a hurricane, this scene can be called pleasing to the eye.

...But Jian Yunlan can't do it!

Moreover, in the pot in Taotie's hand, no one knew what was being fried. It had completely become a mosaic and was emitting a stench that was comparable to that of chemical weapons.

Jian Yunlan took a breath and said, "Master Taotie, what are you doing???"

Seeing Jian Yunlan coming, Taotie's ears instantly turned red, and the fierce beast said awkwardly:

"Seeing that you have been sleeping till almost night and haven't woken up yet, it's almost night, I thought you must be hungry, so I'll be merciful and make you dinner."

He passed the black stuff in the pot to Jian Yunlan, and proudly asked for credit: "Human, look, this is what I made. How is it? It looks delicious, right?"

Jian Yunlan: "..."

Haha, not so good.

...But looking at Taotie's expression as if he was presenting a treasure, Jian Yunlan's complaints rolled back and forth in his stomach for several times. In the end, he hesitated for a second and didn't say it out loud.

However, in this one second of hesitation, something unexpected happened!

--boom! ! !

There was a loud bang like an explosion nearby, and another pot on the stove suddenly caught fire. The blue-green flames formed tongues of fire, which made people's hearts stop beating.

The mushroom cloud that rose from the explosion on the stove turned into a gust of air that rolled over and blew the black "delicacies" in Taotie's pot into ashes in an instant, and covered Taotie's head and face like a sandstorm.

The handsome silver-haired, dark-skinned man instantly turned into a coal miner who had just returned from the fields.

Jian Yunlan: "..."

Taotie: “…”

The entire rental house fell into a distressing silence.

It was in this silence that the doorbell suddenly rang.

Jian Yunlan glanced at Taotie, walked over slowly, and opened the door——

The butler in a suit and leather shoes arrived before the sound, crying with joy, and rushed over to hug Jian Yunlan:

"Master, my master, you are really alive! Your black-skinned, white-haired handsome guy is also alive!!!"

Next to them were Aunt Wang, who was also wiping her tears, the driver Xiao Li, and other servants of the Jian family villa. After everyone confirmed that Jian Yunlan was intact, they all started talking at once:

"Woo woo woo, I said that the young master and Lord Taotie are blessed with good fortune and will be fine."

"I made a paper figurine for the young master to pray for his blessing..."

"Wait, the paper dolls are cursed, right??!!"

A large group of noisy people suddenly filed in and poured into the small rental house.

"Don't worry about those trivial things. Hu Danggui, who was wearing a green Taoist robe and had a bun on her hair, stood at the front of the team and gave orders with her hands on her hips. "Butler, help the young master move the TV. Aunt Wang, pack up the important items in the bedroom. Niutou, you--"

Commander Hu Danggui's words came to an abrupt end.

...Niutou was standing in the corner of the crowd, looking carefully at Jian Yunlan and Taotie who had returned safely. His eyes were filled with tears, but he showed a simple smile. He rubbed his nose, trying hard to hold back the tears.

"Mr. Jian and Lord Taotie are fine. That's great, that's great." Niu Tou sobbed softly.

After being stunned for a moment, Jian Yunlan hurriedly walked up and gave Niu Tou a big hug.

Taotie seemed a little reluctant, but finally compromised and walked up to give Niutou a hug.

“Wooooooaaaaaaaaah!!!” Niu Tou finally couldn’t hold it in any longer, tears of joy burst out, and he hugged the two of them with his broad arms, “You all are okay, that’s great, it’s really great, I, Old Niu, can finally let go of this heart…”

Seeing this scene, Hu Danggui's eyes instantly turned red. The little girl sniffed, walked over and wanted to join the hug.

But she was too short. No matter how she stood on tiptoe, she could only hug the thighs of three people, and looked like a kettle in the hands of the bull head.

Hu Danggui: “…”

Tears, pulled out.

Hu Danggui also burst into tears along with Niu Tou: "Wooooooa ...

Jian Yunlan felt a little amused and lifted Hu Danggui up, finally stopping Hu Danggui's tears.

"Butler, I want a hug too." The butler was not willing to be outdone, and with tears streaming down his face, he rushed over and hugged Jian Yunlan, "Master, my Master!"

"Ah? Then me too." "Auntie Wang is old, she doesn't understand young people's stuff..." "Why are you talking so much nonsense, just hold me!"

So, Aunt Wang, driver Xiao Li... more and more people joined in the embrace of reunion.

In the narrow little rental house, so many people were hugging each other. The scene looked a bit funny, like some strange magic or a wrestling match. But everyone looked at each other, and everyone had tears streaming down their faces. It was not an elegant look at all, so everyone couldn't help laughing.

In laughter and tears, they confirmed each other's existence.

Their family.

“…”

Everyone in the Jian family villa worked very efficiently. In just over ten minutes, they helped Jian Yunlan pack what needed to be packed and throw away what needed to be thrown away. The packed suitcases were all loaded into several Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Porsches that drove in from outside.

These sports cars are good-looking but not practical. They look very impressive, but they can actually carry very little. Fortunately, the butler had foresight and brought a lot of cars, so everything could be loaded in the end.

Such a luxury car appeared in the urban village, and it was actually used for moving. This amazing scene attracted the attention of people around, and many people took out their mobile phones to shoot videos.

The appearance of Taotie and Jian Yunlan triggered a new round of exclamations.

"Why are these two so good-looking?!" "Are they recording a variety show..." "My God, I've never seen so many luxury cars in my life."

When he saw the Lamborghini, Taotie's eyes lit up. He walked over with familiarity, stuffed Jian Yunlan into the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt, then he sat in the driver's seat with an eager expression.

Jian Yunlan had a bad feeling in her heart, and asked tremblingly:

"By the way, where are we going?"

"Of course it's the Jian family villa." Taotie showed a handsome smile, and the next second, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

The Lamborghini was ejected instantly!

Jian Yunlan: “Ahhhhhhhhhhh——”

The tail end of Jian Yunlan's scream drifted in the wind, lingering in the air for three days.

"The young master also showed affection and love to Lord Taotie today." In the Porsche nearby, the butler wiped his eyes with emotion.

“……”The corner of Hu Danggui’s mouth twitched.

Is this really love?

“…”

In short, despite the chaos, everyone finally arrived at the Jian family villa safely.

The butler bowed and opened the door, announcing:

"Master, from now on, this is your real home!"

In the sunset light, Jian Yunlan saw every detail of the villa, the floor-to-ceiling windows, the Roman columns, the crystal chandeliers, the winding escalator, and the outdoor garden...

Everything was exactly as he remembered.

Taotie stood beside Jian Yunlan and held his hand. Hu Danggui, Niu Tou and other servants of the Jian family villa were standing at the door. They all looked at Jian Yunlan with a smile, waiting for his reaction.

Looking at the Jian family villa in the sunset, and then looking at everyone familiar, Jian Yunlan felt a warm current flowing in his heart, and a surge of emotions was about to burst out -

Finally, Jian Yunlan could no longer suppress his excitement and decided to take action now!

Jian Yunlan walked to the outdoor garden and launched the ultimate stall tricycle rewarded by the system.

He rode on the tricycle, hung up Hu Danggui's lotus lantern, fished out the ox head and Taotie, and smiled brightly:

"Thank you all for helping me with the move. Now, I can finally pursue my dreams without any worries."

"I don't want to endure it anymore, I don't want to hide it anymore, I want it now-"

“Set up the stall!”
