Peng Wenchao silently watched as Chuzheng took a sip from Xi Jing’s straw and nodded, agreeing with Xi Jing’s words.

The relationship between these two...

Forget it.

It’s none of his business anyway.

Peng Wenchao, an older man, sipping his milk tea noisily, looked at the people in the amusement park and suddenly felt a bit sentimental.

All these years, he’s been busy with work. How long has it been since he spent time with his wife and kids?

If he can get through this, he’ll definitely spend more time with them.

-

Later, Xi Jing wanted to go to the haunted house. Peng Wenchao wasn’t afraid of that and happily went to buy tickets.

However, Xi Jing’s excitement lasted only until the moment he entered the haunted house, after which he was scared and clung to Chuzheng the entire time.

"Why come if you’re scared?"

"I didn’t know it was this scary..." Xi Jing said, holding onto Chuzheng with a grievance, "I want to leave."

"You can’t turn back here," Chuzheng said. "Close your eyes, and I’ll lead you out."

"Okay." Xi Jing obediently closed his eyes, trusting Chuzheng completely.

With his eyes closed, he couldn’t see those things. Although the sound effects were still there, Xi Jing felt it wasn’t as terrifying.

When they finally got out, Xi Jing was so exhausted that he practically hung onto Chuzheng.

A lot of people were passing by, many of whom glanced over, as Xi Jing was quite striking.

Such a good-looking person, who wouldn’t want to take another look?

Chuzheng took him to a corner, avoiding the crowd’s gaze. "Do you want to play this again next time?"

Xi Jing shook his head, then after a moment, nodded. "If it’s with you, I’d like to."

"..." You masochist!

Xi Jing wrapped his arms around her neck and whispered in her ear, "Because you’ll protect me, I’m not scared."

Chuzheng tightened her grip and solemnly promised, "I will protect you."

-

As they were leaving the amusement park, Peng Wenchao’s assistant called, asking where he was as the things he wanted were ready.

Chuzheng told him to bring them to the amusement park.

The three of them waited outside the amusement park.

Xi Jing looked at the ice cream not far away, a bit of longing in his eyes.

"Do you want some?"

Xi Jing was startled and shook his head.

"If you want it, go ahead and eat. No need to hold back." Anyway, you’re so skinny, you need to eat more! Chuzheng handed him money. "Go buy it yourself."

Xi Jing pressed his lips together. "Are you going to eat some?"

"No."

"Then I won’t either..."

Chuzheng took him directly over to buy some, but given the current weather, eating ice cream wasn’t quite suitable, so she only bought him a small one.

"Ah!"

A sudden scream erupted at the entrance of the amusement park.

Chuzheng looked over. By this time, many people were preparing to leave the park, heading towards the entrance. It was a sea of heads, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

In the center of the crowd, a car had crashed into a building next to it.

And Peng Wenchao was sitting on the ground, his face pale as he looked at the car.

That car was clearly about to hit him, but for some reason, it suddenly changed direction and crashed into the pillar on the side.

Peng Wenchao snapped out of it and looked into the crowd.

Chuzheng, holding the young man’s hand, stood in the crowd, staring coldly at him.

It seemed as if she had expected this all along.

Chuzheng wasn’t stupid enough to leave Peng Wenchao there alone to be a target.

-

Across from the amusement park, Wei Yi stood in the shadows, watching the people over there, his expression gloomy.

To think I’d miss even like this...

His time was running out too.

Just like Chuzheng, Wei Yi’s survival time was always counting down.

That woman was in the way... yet he hadn’t been able to get rid of her several times.

Suddenly, Wei Yi noticed the young man standing next to Chuzheng. His eyes narrowed sharply, and as if he thought of something, he curled his lips into a cold smile, turned into a nearby alley, and disappeared into the crowd.

-

Peng Wenchao was just frightened, not really hurt.

The driver was also fine, only his forehead was slightly bruised.

Thus, the chaos was resolved quickly. Once most people dispersed, Peng Wenchao’s assistant also arrived, bringing the items Chuzheng needed.

"Miss Chuzheng, everything you wanted is here."

Chuzheng opened up a few boxes to take a look. They contained plants, with some labeled, looking like they came from a lab.

In this era, such things just required some money, but in certain eras, these items were priceless treasures.

Peng Wenchao nervously asked, "Miss Chuzheng, am I safe now?"

"In theory, yes."

"???" What does ’in theory’ mean? "What about in practice?"

Chuzheng: "I don’t know."

Who knows what that bastard Wei Yi will do next given that he’s already concocting murder.

"Miss Chuzheng, you have to help me."

"I can’t help you. Who told you not to choose me initially?" That’s what you get for not listening to the big shot!

Chuzheng held a cold expression. "Now, I can only help save the company. As for the rest, it’s up to your luck."

Peng Wenchao: "..."

How was he supposed to know it would turn out like this back then!

-

In the following days, Peng Wenchao didn’t encounter any accidents, and the company was gradually improving. Wei Yi didn’t appear, as if everything was getting better.

But Peng Wenchao dared not relax. He hired one bodyguard after another for fear that Wei Yi would suddenly come back for him.

Peng Wenchao spent over a month on edge, and nothing happened.

Until one day, he discovered that a card in his wallet was missing.

Peng Wenchao wanted to find Chuzheng, but he suddenly found he couldn’t recall where that girl lived.

The more time passed, the less he could remember the key details.

Like what that girl looked like, what her name was...

In the end, Peng Wenchao could only remember the incident, but nothing else.

-

Chuzheng gained about half a year’s time from Peng Wenchao. Indeed, the broken system’s judgments of the original host were rather arbitrary.

With half a year to squander, Chuzheng felt more confident.

Now, the most important goal: nurture the Good Person Card!

Chuzheng had almost entirely replaced the items in the house. Although a lot was stuffed inside, the space didn’t feel cramped, instead appearing more orderly.

The floor was also covered with a layer of carpet.

Xi Jing suddenly woke up in a start and rolled off several times, bumping his head into a lump.

"I got paid."

Xi Jing pushed the door open and came in, pouncing directly onto Chuzheng.

The things in Chuzheng’s hand nearly got knocked down. She steadied them, placed them aside, and pulled him into her arms. "Got your paycheck, and you’re this happy?"

"This is the most I’ve ever gotten paid." Xi Jing murmured shyly, "I want to treat you to dinner tonight, okay?"

Chuzheng felt that Xi Jing had grown a lot; he hadn’t been this tall before...

"Aren’t you going to save it?"

"Well, but I want to treat you to something good."

Because of Xi Jing, business had improved, so his commission was high. The boss also gave him a bonus, so the pay was indeed substantial.

Today, the boss even gave him a day off to celebrate payday.

Since he wanted to treat, Chuzheng didn’t refuse and told him to change clothes first.

Xi Jing happily ran off to do so.

Compared to before, Xi Jing was noticeably more cheerful and much more natural in conversation with her.

Xi Jing quickly changed his clothes and came out, waiting obediently for Chuzheng to go out.
