Wei Sushen received Jiang Meiling's message, but they all ended up taking the train back.
System 333 retrieved a bunch of fake documents. Fang Shan casually scanned them and saw a teacher's certificate. He couldn't help but think of Wei Sushen, who also had one. He sighed, "Where's the nerve?"
Stealing jobs from others.
What’s the use of these two people holding qualifications?
System 333 was just a precautionary measure, and Wei Sushen remained silent throughout the entire process.
Fang Shan thought of the other party's drawer full of qualifications and certificates: "Host really wants to prove his talent and strength?"
How else to explain those countless certificates?
Wei Sushen said calmly, "It's just a collecting habit."
"..." What I hate most in my life is the collection that requires intelligence to complete.
Feeling the contemptuous look System 333 was giving him, Fang Shan forced himself to get closer to Wei Sushen: "Actually, I have a collecting habit too."
As the old saying goes, people from the same family cannot enter the same door.
"What are you collecting?" Wei Sushen tilted his head slightly, holding his chin. "Wine bottle caps."
The last word was used in a declarative tone. Fang Shan pursed his lips and said seriously, "Please don't underestimate my interests and hobbies."
If the bottle cap he spat out had not left a red mark on his forehead that took two weeks to fade, Wei Sushen might have really believed the pitiful girl before him.
The trains were merging at night. During the pause, Fang Shan took a short nap and opened his eyes. The other two still had their eyes open. "You guys don't want to sleep?"
Because they bought hard seats, they were inevitably a little uncomfortable. Wei Sushen was a picky person by nature, while System 333 enjoyed life very much and could not fall asleep sitting on a dry stool.
Fang Shan is in stark contrast to them, like a weed rooted in the cracks of a wall, growing wherever it is thrown.
System 333's mouth was already open, about to make some sarcastic remarks, but Wei Sushen spoke before he could say anything: "I'll keep watch for you, sleep well."
System 333 opened his eyes wide... Master!
Not only did it make Fang Shan shut up, it also increased his favorability.
Sure enough, Fang Shan squinted his eyes in satisfaction, tilted his head, and soon fell asleep again.
The train arrived at the station. There were lights on inside, but when he walked to the door, it was pitch black. A cold wind blew in his face, and Fang Shan shivered subconsciously, but he didn't feel cold.
Wei Sushen let System 333 walk in front and said to Fang Shan, "He has a lot of luggage, so he can block the wind for you."
System 333: “…”
If he were given another chance, even if the temptation was immense, he wouldn't take on the job of assassinating Fang Shan's host. Even more heartbreaking than losing both his wife and his army was the fact that he had lost himself in the process.
Fang Shan yawned. Since it was night and it was inconvenient to call someone to pick him up, he squatted on the curb waiting for a taxi to arrive.
The first thing he saw after getting off the car was the pitch-black Wei residence. System 333 had seen the luxury of this villa more than once, but seeing it at night was even more astonishing. Without the fountains of the day and the lush green trees in the sun, the entire villa looked more like a creeping beast, ready to extend its claws at any moment.
"I actually picked a host with this kind of configuration!" System 333 couldn't help but mutter again. If the face-slapping value could pass the test, it would really be a ghost.
The villa was even quieter.
Fang Shan stopped Wei Sushen from turning on the light: "Don't affect other people."
Wei Sushen: "If it was my father, he would think we were having a nightmare and would not think we were awake."
As they were going up the stairs, Fang Shan paused, turned around and asked him with a hint of hesitation, "Is he really your biological child?"
Wei Sushen nodded.
Fang Shan curled his lips, thought about it and concluded that they were definitely his biological child, otherwise how could they deceive each other so recklessly.
System 333 wasn't going to get involved any further. Before Fang Shan and Wei Sushen entered the room, it said in a gentle and persuasive tone, "I'd like to be a vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures for a while. I'll stay out of this for now."
Fang Shan did not agree immediately, and his eyes looking at him seemed too deep and dark.
System 333 believed that he just wanted to avoid them and had no bad intentions. Even so, he felt a little scared under such a gaze.
"Okay." Just as he was thinking about whether to make some other guarantees to lower Fang Shan's guard, the latter decisively agreed to the proposal.
System 333 was sent to the room at the end of the corridor. After Fang Shan entered the room, he first opened the window to get some fresh air and then prepared to fall asleep.
Wei Sushen held him back.
"do what?"
Wei Sushen pointed to the neatly made mattress and said, "I haven't been back for a week, so there's dust on it."
He used to find bedspreads troublesome and unnecessary.
Fang Shan directly tore off the bed sheet and fell on the mattress: "It's clean now."
“…”
The system's attitude towards life is very rough. After witnessing it again, Wei Sushen hesitated whether to pull the person up.
Unexpectedly, Fang Shan, who was sleeping soundly with his head covered just a few seconds ago, suddenly opened his eyes. The moonlight was very bright tonight, and even without turning on the lights in the room, the two could see each other's expressions clearly.
"The host is drooling at me again."
Wei Sushen pulled the quilt over him, covering his head as well, mainly to cover up his mouth that could spew out shocking words at any time.
"Good night." Although Fang Shan's sleeping posture was not good, at least he knew to leave half the space.
Wei Sushen sighed and lay down on the other side. The night was as cool as water, giving him something to think about. Recalling the system's recent unusual tricks, he asked Fang Shan, "What's the meaning of love?"
Fang Shan replied: "To pave the way for the next step."
Wei Sushen turned his head and asked, "What's so interesting about this?"
Fang Shan said seriously, "I've always wanted to know what a bottle of wine tastes like afterward."
"...It was a cigarette afterwards."
Fang Shan: "You're so vulgar." After a moment, he added: "But I like it."
“…”
Fang Shan: "Do you smoke?"
Wei Sushen: “Yes.”
Fang Shan recalled carefully and made sure that the host had never smoked in front of him.
Seeing his thoughts, Wei Sushen said, "Just yes."
Fang Shan climbed up from the bed: "You wouldn't consider this a skill?"
"When I first joined the company, I thought there would be dinner parties and I might need to deal with them." Wei Sushen said, "I learned a few simple techniques, but later found it useless, so I gave up."
Fang Shan: "Why is it useless?"
Many large-scale dinner parties are filled with clinking glasses and wafts of smoke.
Wei Sushen said casually: “When necessary, you can just bring out my family background or tell them who my father is.”
Fang Shan went back to sleep, this time very far away from him. Jealousy made him feel like he had eaten a lemon, and his teeth ached.
According to his plan, the next night should be one of silence and dreams.
However, at 5:30 in the morning, Wei Sushen's cell phone vibrated several times. As Fang Shan had been accustomed to living on the edge of life and death for many years, he naturally heard it, but pretended not to hear it.
I turned over and continued to sleep.
"It's Chen Bingying's system."
After Wei Sushen finished reading, these few short words made Fang Shan completely sober up.
"I almost forgot about her." Fang Shan sat up at some point. "It's a pity that whenever life is quiet and boring, she always pops up."
Usually it makes a tiny splash and then dies down.
Wei Sushen shared the same opinion as him on this point.
"What are you going to do this time?" Fang Shan had just woken up, and there was still some frivolity in his smile.
Wei Sushen: "Ask me a meeting."
Then she changed the subject and said that she couldn't be sure whether it was Chen Bingying's idea or her system's idea.
"To go or not to go?"
Wei Sushen asked naturally; he hadn't really made up his mind yet. From previous experience, it wasn't hard to tell that Chen Bingying's system was initially designed to kill him, even going so far as to try to trick him into signing two systems to achieve their goal.
But on the other hand, it is better for a latent cancer to fight openly than to do something in the dark.
Fang Shan raised an eyebrow: "I allow her to add brightness, color and fun to my life, but she is not allowed to cheat on me."
Wei Sushen skipped the description and concluded directly: "Not going?"
Fang Shan changed his tone: "Go. But we'll decide the time."
·
It was planned to be held in a week, but it ended up being delayed for half a month. The reason was that the Wei family had a tradition of burning incense in mid-September every year.
Not counting the time Fang Shan and Wei Sushen spent in the other world, they had only been together in reality for about half a year. This was the first time he heard of such a habit, so he asked curiously, "Going to the temple?"
Wei Sushen shook his head: "It was built by the older generation. Originally, they wanted it to be a temple. Later, they felt that death is like the extinction of a candle, and no one can bless anyone else, so they changed it into a small Buddhist temple."
“…”
This is the style of the Wei family.
Fang Shan: "Does it work?"
Wei Sushen nodded slightly: "I used to believe it, and things went smoothly during that period."
"And then?"
Wei Sushen looked at him.
The two looked at each other in silence, and Fang Shan was the first to look away because he felt guilty.
Wei Ye and Jiang Meiling seemed to be taking the trip very seriously, both wearing decent, plain clothes on the day of departure. Fang Shan, hoping to try his luck, joined them. He had initially thought Wei Ye would remark that he, as an outsider, was unsuitable for the trip, but surprisingly, Wei Ye barely spoke to him at all.
If you dig deeper, you will find that he didn't talk much to Wei Sushen.
The little fat boy was dressed very elegantly today and had dressed up carefully.
Fang Shan leaned over and said, "Tell me about the specific process."
The little fat boy ate snacks and said: "It's called burning incense, but in fact it's just leaving a blessing bag. After burning incense, write down your aspirations for the future and put them in the bag. There is a special place to hang it inside."
Fang Shan: "Interesting."
I was traumatized by System 333 burning incense anytime and anywhere. Now I know I don’t have to smell too much stuffy smoke, and I feel a lot more at ease.
After a while, the little fat man whispered to him, "It works very well."
"really?"
The little fat boy nodded heavily: "I once made a wish that something would fall from the sky, hoping to subdue my brother, and not long after, you appeared."
Fang Shan was not angry, but instead thought that it might be quite effective.
The car drove all the way to the old house. There was basically no one living here now, except for a middle-aged man who was responsible for cleaning and guarding the house on weekdays.
The room was very clean, and Fang Shan followed their example and left a prayer bag.
There were no restaurants nearby, so Jiang Meiling cooked the meal herself, with Wei Ye helping out. Fang Shan and the fat kid, feeling embarrassed to do nothing, also helped make tea.
In the hustle and bustle, no one noticed Wei Sushen, who was now standing in the ancestral hall, looking at the blessing bags that had just been hung up. He hesitated for a moment before taking down two of them.
After hesitating, Wei Sushen opened Wei Ye's letter first. There was a short sentence written on it: I hope my eldest son is stupid and rich.
“…”
She closed her eyes and then opened them again: When my hair grows to my waist, XXX will marry me.
Wei Sushen refused to think about who XXX was referring to.
