It's true that youth doesn't come again, but thirty-four years old isn't considered old in human society, and Zheng Jingjing could easily find a better man.
"She can, but you have to understand that while you are choosing others, others are also choosing you."
Shi Jinzhe said helplessly, "No one is willing to compromise. You have to get up early to buy groceries. Everyone wants a good person, but you have to have the opportunity."
"But she was already with that man when she was nineteen, that's very early."
“It’s too late to stop the mistake.” Shi Jinzhe patiently gave Shehe an example: “Suppose, I mean suppose, not really, what do you think of me, just in the context of human society?”
Shekh leaned back and looked her over from head to toe, his body completely bent.
He is good-looking, obedient, gives her whatever she wants, can pick her up anytime, and teaches her a lot of knowledge.
"It's great, I like it very much."
"What if I had a long-term relationship before you? Would you still accept me?"
"cannot."
Schech answered without hesitation, “I don’t accept you having someone else’s scent on you.”
"This is it."
Shi Jinzhe walked up to Shehe and looked her in the eye: "Now do you understand? People who perfectly meet all the criteria for 'good' are extremely rare. Everyone wants to find the best one, but the person you think is good also wants to find the very best of them."
Shekh seemed to understand a little about the meaning of "when things come to an end," and Zheng Jingjing thought that what was good might not necessarily be liked by her.
"If she can't find someone who gets 100 points, surely she can find someone who gets 60 points? She should at least be better than the lowest score."
“She had a relationship with the lowest scorer, which can be a plus. If the next one is not as good as this one, then it’s better to stay where you are.”
“Alright.” Shekh said nothing more.
She could understand, but she still couldn't accept this kind of half-hearted relationship.
Shi Jinzhe said, "People like you and me are rare. We are a match made in heaven. It's hard for others to have this kind of opportunity."
"Don't boast."
"Not to boast, but they are facing an unavoidable reality. In comparison, we are very lucky," said Shi Jinzhe Yin Yang Qi System. "After all, we were introduced by acquaintances who know each other well."
"Let me correct you, that thing isn't human."
"If it's not human, then it's not a thing either."
"It's just a piece of trash." Shekh sneered, "Yesterday when I asked it for your information, it hesitated for ages and couldn't utter a single word, all it said was 'six'."
The system couldn't take it anymore. "That's not how it works..."
"I didn't ask you to speak."
Frustrated, and unable to argue with Shehe, the system went to find Shi Jinzhe.
I didn't act as a matchmaker; you'd be begging on the streets right now.
Shi Jinzhe relayed Shehe's words verbatim: "Look at it, it's bullying me again."
I didn't, I'm telling the truth.
"She just said she didn't let you speak."
[...]
This is what it means to borrow the tiger's power.
Shekh didn't want to deal with the system and said, "You should leave now."
[...]
It's available whenever you need it, and you can leave it when you don't.
The system didn't want to talk and left sadly.
After cursing the system away, Shehe got back to business. She opened the bedside table drawer and found two buttons inside.
Shi Jinzhe's eyes lit up. "It's a prop."
The words "[Fallen Button]" appear above the glowing button. Shi Jin folds it and the item is activated the moment he holds it in his hand.
Item: [Dropped Button] (Valid within this instance)
Effect: The button dropped by the dungeon boss, when placed in front of you, will reveal the true appearance of monsters inside the building after 11 PM (their human appearance during the day).
Shi Jinzhe: "After 11 o'clock... it's a bit troublesome. We still have to solve the problem at night."
He handed Shekh a button, saying, "Keep one, see if you can use it."
Sheh put the buttons away, and half an hour later, he and Shi Jinzhe found nothing new.
"Let's go, next room. There's not much left in room 206."
The two followed the same method and entered 205. As soon as they entered, they saw a wall covered with newspapers.
The newspaper in the very center was gleaming; it was another prop.
Shi Jin folded the newspaper to see the prop's effect.
Prop: [A newspaper used to conceal the truth.] (Disposable prop.)
Effect: When being stared at by a monster inside the building, blocking its view with a newspaper will render it incapacitated for three seconds.
"It's a good thing." Shi Jinzhe put away the prop with satisfaction and looked at the other newspapers on the wall.
"A woman abducted twenty years ago refuses to support her biological parents; she is incredibly cold-blooded."
A boy deliberately deceived his classmate during a game of hide-and-seek, causing the classmate to suffocate and die; the parents, overwhelmed by the shock, jumped to their deaths.
Girl sues relative for molestation, turns out it was to scam money for luxury goods.
...
Shi Jinzhe felt somewhat exasperated; the entire wall was covered with these kinds of eye-catching news headlines.
His gaze shifted downwards, and he discovered that the newspaper was from the same publisher, and the author was the same person, named [Gu Fang].
“It’s fake.” Shekh approached Shi Jinzhe with a file folder in his hand.
"I found it in the coffee table drawer, take a look."
Upon hearing this, Shi Jinzhe flipped through the files and reports in the file folder.
The girl was sold to others by her biological parents. After she was admitted to a prestigious university, her biological parents wanted to take her back and asked her to pay alimony. When the girl refused, they accused her of being cold-blooded.
The mother of four-year-old Xiaoli concealed her history of mental illness. While Xiaoli was playing with her neighbor, Xiaotong, she suddenly had an attack. Xiaoli's mother scratched Xiaotong's cheek and stuffed the crying Xiaoli into the washing machine, causing her death. After regaining her senses, she could not bear the blow and committed suicide by jumping off a building.
The girl was repeatedly raped by her stepfather. A neighbor accidentally discovered this and called the police. After the stepfather was sentenced to seven years in prison with conclusive evidence, he went to the media to sue the girl for deliberately seducing her for money and demanded that she issue a public apology.
Shi Jinzhe turned the page and read the next chapter. It turned out that the stepfather would give the girl twenty yuan each time to keep quiet, and the so-called luxury item was a watch that cost a little over one hundred yuan.
Shekh: "The title and content are completely mismatched. The clarification report in this file, which was released several years later, is the real content."
"Newspapers that obscure the truth; this whole wall is full of fake news."
As Shi Jinzhe continued reading, he discovered that many of the protagonists in these news stories had developed psychological or mental health issues due to external pressures, and several even attempted suicide to prove their innocence.
"The people who wrote these reports did not hesitate to distort the facts and use malicious rumors to hurt people in order to attract attention."
"Blood-soaked buns."
Sher recalled that Manager Zhang once used this phrase: "The things that happened to these people were dissected and broken down into what the public wanted to see, and no one cared about the truth at all."
Shi Jinzhe suddenly turned to look at Sheh, "Blood-soaked buns, dismembered and broken up?"
The image of the human bone corridor he had seen on the sixth floor last night flashed into his mind.
