Chapter 68: With Marriage as the Premise

Fang Yuan had no idea what the answer was, but this was clearly a golden opportunity. If she didn't know the answer, wouldn't she at least make something up?

"Of course, love is a very complex thing."

"Love is the intertwining of various feelings." This statement isn't entirely unfounded. Her relationship with her wife was also turbulent at the time.

Fang Yuan tried to persuade Liang Man with the tone of someone who had been through it all, because she didn't want to see Liang Man become like before again.

When Liang Man only knew how to work, she was like a bird trapped by the camera. Acting was her job, her means of survival, but over time it also became a cage that imprisoned her.

The pain of the past slowly became a shackle on Liang Man, and she would occasionally peek into the outside world through the cage of work.

However, she remained unwilling to leave this cage. Liang Man needed a trigger, a key to unlock this cage.

Qi Shaoyou is the only person in all this time who can open this cage and become the key.

Regardless, Liang Man admitted that she underwent significant changes after falling in love with Qi Shaoyou.

Even though she didn't want to be with him, she became much more vibrant. Fang Yuan even noticed that Liang Man had moments of happiness.

It was as if she had suddenly gained a real life outside the cage.

Having seen Liang Man like that, Fang Yuan could not possibly be satisfied with letting Liang Man live like that.

There are so many happy people in this world, why can't she have one more good friend? Clearly, Liang Man is so kind and hardworking.

Bad people can gain forgiveness and happiness simply by ceasing their evil deeds.

Good people have to go through so much hardship to get out of their pain. And then, because of the shadows of the past, they can't find happiness. That would be too much and too unfair.

Regardless of whether Qi Shaoyou and Liang Man will ultimately be together forever, as long as Qi Shaoyou's appearance can bring Liang Man happiness for a moment, then Fang Yuan feels that Qi Shaoyou's appearance is a good thing.

Liang Man was stunned by Fang Yuan's words. She looked at Fang Yuan, seeking confirmation with her eyes.

Fang Yuan looked at her bewildered friend and nodded with a smile.

Liang Man felt a little confused, her chest tightening slightly. Could she really fall in love with someone she disliked?

How strange, how strange that statement is. But why is the corner of her mouth subtly turning up because of it?

It seemed that as long as she found a legitimate reason to like Qi Shaoyou, her empty and chilly heart was suddenly filled with something.

"So warm," Liang Man thought, clutching her chest and savoring the novel sensation. "What a fresh feeling!" Even her eyes began to change.

Fang Yuan glanced at Liang Man's expression out of the corner of her eye, not daring to be too obvious. She didn't know what was wrong with the two of them, but it was clear that they cared about each other a lot.

Then why separate? There's no reason for it.

While Liang Man was deep in thought, the bastard on the ground tried to crawl outside.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, let's deal with him first." Liang Man's thoughts were interrupted, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

"Okay." Fang Yuan watched as Liang Man's expression changed back, and couldn't help but kick the bastard on the ground.

She's more trouble than she's worth; just looking at her is annoying.

This kind of person is definitely better suited to a mental hospital.

Qi Shaoyou, the person he was talking to, had no idea that his hard work had almost been ruined with Fang Yuanjie's help.

Qi Shaoyou was having hot pot with 0527 and Shen Ping outside. In this slightly chilly weather, a hot pot meal was the most comforting thing. The steaming hot pot was especially good at driving away the chill from the body.

Qi Shaoyou made himself a delicious dipping sauce and then served everyone some self-service fruit. He hadn't seen those two for only three seconds before they started arguing again.

Chen Ping had prepared dishes for 0527 before Qi Shaoyou, but she deliberately prepared a very spicy but delicious dish.

"Boss... Waaaaah..." 0527's tongue was swollen from the spiciness. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that her body was getting closer to being human again.

Qi Shaoyou looked at 0527 sticking out its tongue and thought it reminded her of a puppy sticking its tongue out in the heat. She found it somewhat amusing, yet also a little comforting.

When 0527 is completely like a human being, he can then be a real person with his own life.

"Help..." 0527 was already crying from the spiciness. Why would a robot like her be so spicy? She didn't understand, so she asked the big boss for help.

Qi Shaoyou found it amusing and took the bowl and plate from 0527.

0527 felt a little reluctant as the dishes were taken away, and while drinking water, her eyes followed Qi Shaoyou's hand.

Qi Shaoyou was so angry she almost laughed. She picked out some of the small red chilies with her chopsticks before returning them to 0527.

After chugging down three glasses of water, 0527 watched Qi Shaoyou slur his words, "Boss, you're so kind..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping leaned over and deliberately said loudly, "Am I not good enough? I'm the one who prepared the dishes! If I'm not good enough, then you don't have to eat."

As she spoke, she sat down next to 0527 and reached out to grab the bowl and plate.

0527 tightly guarded its bowl and plate, like a puppy protecting its food.

Watching the two playfully bickering, Qi Shaoyou felt somewhat relieved. Once she disappeared, Chen Ping wouldn't abandon 0527.

0527 is a complete idiot; she knows absolutely nothing about human life. If no one teaches her, she'll have a very hard time surviving.

If it weren't for that damned system, 0527 would have been human. Thankfully, it's not too late.

Although Chenping sometimes seems unreliable, Qi Shaoyou is quite at ease entrusting his son to her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shen Ping looked at Qi Shaoyou and felt that something was very wrong with this guy.

"That look is disgusting! Don't look at me like that!" Shen Ping's sixth sense was very accurate; Qi Shaoyou's look was definitely not a good sign.

"I paid for the hot pot, and you won't even let me look at you twice? Fine, we'll split the bill later." Qi Shaoyou said, then swished a piece of beef into his own bowl.

"Look, look, you're the one who paid, so you're the boss!" Chen Ping looked at the table full of dishes and ordered two more plates of meat for herself.

She's put in so much effort today, she deserves a good meal. Chen Ping isn't short of money for this meal, but it's not just any meal; it's the fruit of her labor.

When it was time to pay the bill, Qi Shaoyou looked at the long list and then at the two gluttons in front of him.

Eight hundred yuan. Three people ate a regular hot pot and it cost eight hundred yuan...

God knows, the people sitting next to them changed three times...

By the end of the meal on May 27th, I had eaten until I was stuffed. Being on a screen helped a little, but not by much.

Qi Shaoyou looked at the two idiots in front of him and felt a little regretful.

It wasn't that she regretted anything else, but mainly that having these two idiots with her always made her feel like it lowered her IQ.

They were originally going to take a taxi back, but the two, who were so full, insisted on walking back.

Qi Shaoyou glanced at the distance between here and the dormitory, sighed, and went along with the two people's wishes.

She took one step, and 0527 clutched her stomach while needing Chen Ping's support to take three steps.

Feeling utterly humiliated, Qi Shaoyou chose to distance herself from the two men. She absolutely refused to acknowledge knowing these two disgraceful individuals!

At this moment, Qi Shaoyou wanted to cover his face no matter which acquaintance he encountered.

Aside from Su Yan, since Su Yan had seen him wearing a mask before. It wouldn't be good if she recognized him while he was hiding his face.

Qi Shaoyou praised himself for his thorough consideration.

"Miss Qi, can we talk?" When Su Yan's voice came out, Qi Shaoyou thought he was hallucinating.

Even if words become law, it shouldn't happen this fast, right? She! She's just thinking about it! Is that reasonable?

Qi Shaoyou looked up, and Su Yan was standing in front of her. Despite the slightly chilly weather, she wore a black wool coat and a black turtleneck sweater. She paired this with blue jeans and brown knee-high boots, which made her long, straight legs look even more beautiful.

With her long, straight black hair cascading over her shoulders, Su Yan stared intently at Qi Shaoyou with her captivating eyes.

Sometimes, Su Yan possessed a divine quality that Qi Shaoyou couldn't quite put his finger on. It was eerie; Qi Shaoyou always felt that Su Yan could see right through him.

"What are you going to talk about?" Qi Shaoyou turned to look for 0527 and Shen Ping, wanting to use these two guys as an excuse to slip away.

"You guys chat, I have a stomachache, can my cousin help me back to the dorm first?" Chen Ping, who had somehow already taken 0527 with her, walked in front of Qi Shaoyou.

0527 was ashen-faced and unable to speak, only waving his hand at Qi Shaoyou.

These two guys are completely unreliable!

Upon hearing the words "cousin," Su Yan's expression softened considerably. It seemed her plan wouldn't need major changes.

"There's a park next to the school, shall we go for a walk?" Qi Shaoyou thought that everything would be over tonight, and she didn't need to be annoying at this time.

Anyway, she had already made careful arrangements! At the end, it shouldn't be a problem for her to do a little good deed.

"Okay." Su Yan put her hands in her coat pockets and gave a slight smile. A person who rarely smiles, when she occasionally shows even a small smile, is as rare and beautiful as the melting snow in spring.

"I also have something to say to you, which may be a little offensive." Su Yan's voice was calm, and Qi Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief.

See? Her meticulous planning paid off! This aloof and beautiful woman is definitely going to settle their old agreement.

"The contract can remain the same, but I'd like to add marriage as a prerequisite for fulfilling the terms of the contract." Qi Shaoyou's fantasy was shattered as soon as Su Yan finished speaking.

"ha?"

Why is every word in Chinese, but she seems to have trouble understanding Mandarin?

"Maybe I'm not comprehension well, but you mean pheromones and aromatherapy can do that, but we need to get married first, right?"

Qi Shaoyou suffered both mental and physical trauma, and she recounted the events in a daze.

“Actually…” Su Yan began, and Qi Shaoyou’s heart jumped.

That's right, Su Yan must have encountered some other problem that led her to ask her for help.

It's okay! Don't panic! She still has a chance! Qi Shaoyou comforted himself and cast a hopeful glance at Su Yan.

"If possible, I hope we can get married abroad."

*Splat*, someone's heart shattered into eight pieces in one go.

That's right, the second person to propose was actually our senior! But there's a reason for the proposal, so please wait for the next chapter to find out! [heart]

I'm so happy you all urge me to update, because you love my writing and the world I describe! I'm also incredibly happy you care about my health, because you're concerned about my well-being!

Ahem, anyway, I'll do my best to keep writing. In conclusion, I've decided to take a good nap this afternoon, and the second update will be posted before midnight tonight. [Sprinkling flowers]
