"Now let's get back to Feng Ruye—he's an incomplete rebel. He's quite aware of his infertility—and he's also aware of a number of other matters. So, since he values Bai Xiaoqian more than himself, he's actually more pleased to see her with the other high-ranking officials than with himself."
"But, Luo Dongxia isn't a high-ranking official, right?"
"That's just your perception... That's why I told you that Feng Ruye's information is very important." The system clapped its hands. "Master, since I exist, you should try to interact with Feng Ruye more. You will definitely gain unexpected benefits. Here's a friendly reminder: if you unlock more than 90% of Feng Ruye's keywords, I will unlock the remaining 10% for you, which also includes the details of his death in his previous life. The memory here can store images and transmit them directly to your brain. You will definitely feel even more shocked."
With a "swish" sound, Chu Shangli suddenly came back to his senses.
She suddenly woke up -
"Strange..." Tan Xing subconsciously checked the time on the terminal.
"Only a few seconds? I feel like I've been here for almost an hour..."
"One hour?" Chu Shangli pretended to be dumb: "How is it possible—?"
"Indeed, I also think it's unlikely - but I often have this feeling, that is, the situation where the perceived time and the actual time don't match -" Tan Xing patted his forehead: "Maybe it's because I've been frightened too many times, but also received a lot of surprises..."
"Quite a few surprises—do you mean the snacks?"
"There shouldn't be any other references, right?" Tan Xing paused and said, "I don't know if the takeaway has arrived yet—"
"Hey, you're really serious—don't those takeouts include the portion for tonight's dinner? Aren't you afraid that they'll all be eaten at once and there won't be any left?"
"I do have some concerns. However, Bai Xiaoqian and her parents are very understanding. If I suggest that I pack my portion first, since they'll still have a chance to eat it later, they'll definitely agree."
"Should I say you are an honest person or shameless..." Chu Shangli complained.
"Actually, I should say it was quite shameless... After all, I saw you guys being picked on before—that time in the cafeteria when you returned to school. But, I never thought of intervening in your affairs."
Tan Xing sighed: "But now I can accept your kindness without hesitation, and I can say these words without any guilt. You can feel it, right?"
"It's not your fault. After all, you grew up in a twisted environment."
Tan Xing's expression changed.
"No, no, because I accepted your kindness, I didn't show it - I'm actually very angry. Even if what you said is the truth."
"Since you know it's the truth..."
"That's why I'm reminding you—if you can't help me escape, and I haven't considered escaping, please don't make me deny my current situation. That's not fun—someone like you who doesn't need to deceive yourself certainly doesn't know how long it takes to get used to living by relying on self-deception, and how easily it can be shattered in an instant."
A notification sounded in Chu Shangli's ears: "Congratulations on unlocking the [Self-Deception] keyword. Next, you can trigger Feng Ruye's keyword——"
“Are these people’s keywords nested within each other?”
"Of course! After all, no one can exist alone."
