Do you like it? To be honest, how would you respond if you were in his shoes!
At this moment, there were two paths in front of Lu Zhe!
One was to let Qian Qian mess around for a while - it would be fun for the time being!
The other was to set Qian Qian straight. If he let her keep developing like this, who knows what other eccentric qualities she might awaken down the road - that would be troublesome!
Lu Zhe recited the Imperial Edict to his Troops once to himself, and his body and mind felt sublimated!
Lu Zhe held Qian Qian by the shoulders: "Qian Qian, listen to me. Our relationship can be more normal!"
Qian Qian asked in puzzlement: "More normal?"
"That's right! Just like an ordinary couple!"
"An ordinary couple?"
Lu Zhe cleared his throat twice: "Think about how your parents dated."
Qian Qian was startled, her thoughts seeming to return to the distant past ten years ago!
That day, she was in 2nd grade elementary school and had tested first in the school math competition. It happened to coincide with being let out of school early!
She pleaded with the teacher to give her parents a surprise.
The kind teacher granted her wish.
She drove Qian Qian back home personally.
Qian Qian happily invited the teacher into the villa to sit for a while.
It was a sunny afternoon, and the auntie who usually cleaned the yard wasn't there.
This made her feel a little puzzled.
Clutching her award certificate, she opened the door, and then she saw an extremely puzzling scene!
In that moment, it was the first time Qian Qian's teacher didn't know how to answer her question!
"Uh, Qian Qian's parents, your daughter got first place in the math competition today. I've brought Qian Qian back to you, um...I have to go...I'll be off now!"
Her cheeks flushed red. She took two steps, then felt it wasn't right, so she turned around: "Or, I can take Qian Qian out for a bit!"
Then, holding Qian Qian's shoulders: "Come with teacher..."
She pulled Qian Qian away without asking.
"Thanks..."
Faintly, Qian Qian seemed to hear her mother's voice.
The teacher pulled Qian Qian away from the villa to a nearby amusement park and they played for a long time.
When they returned, the aunties had changed back into their normal gardening clothes and were planting flowers and trimming grass.
Qian Qian's mom was wearing a decent long dress, arm in arm with her dad. They stood at the door looking elegant and loving as usual!
But everyone had a slightly odd look about them.
After the teacher handed Qian Qian back to her parents, she nodded, then turned to leave. Qian Qian’s mom hurriedly went up to her and gave her a big red envelope. The two exchanged a few words.
Mom also came over and gently kissed Qian Qian's cheek: "Qian Qian...maybe this is just a dream. Forget about it, okay?"
"Huh?"
Qian Qian was a little confused!
It was something she clearly saw with her own eyes. Why were her parents denying it?
Or was there some other reason behind it?
Could it be...
Suddenly, Qian Qian understood!
Unable to accept her worldview being shattered, she cried out "Wah!" and started bawling.
"Dad doesn't love Mom anymore. Dad is bullying Mom..."
She pounded her little fists on her dad, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
"Sweetheart, it's not what you think..."
Qian Qian cried so sadly that no one could comfort her!
In the end, they were truly out of options!
They decided to come clean with Qian Qian.
Qian Qian's mom squatted down and gently said: "Qian Qian, your dad and I still love each other very much. Mom is certain that in this world, no one loves mom more than dad does."
Qian Qian kept shaking her little head, refusing to stop.
Qian Qian's mom struggled to organize her words and explained as calmly as she could: "Qian Qian, it was mom who asked dad to do this! Although it sounds a bit inconceivable, this is just a way your dad and I show our love for each other. In other words, it's a game your dad and mom play!"
In that moment, Qian Qian's parents truly didn't know how to explain this to their child!
And from that day onward, Qian Qian became more and more introverted.
She was unwilling to speak with boys anymore, even intentionally avoiding them!
Although Qian Qian's dad repeatedly demonstrated his love for her mom in front of Qian Qian, it was all too late!
Qian Qian only wanted to play with girls now.
She felt it was abnormal for boys and girls to be together.
And today, after nearly three months surviving on the deserted island, when Lu Zhe said:
"Qian Qian, we should be like an ordinary couple...
Think about how your parents dated!
Think about how they fell in love?"
Qian Qian blinked blankly at Lu Zhe. Suddenly, she felt like she understood her parents!
"That way, it's very enjoyable..."
"Right!"
"Huh??" Lu Zhe truly didn't know what more to say: "This... this is how ordinary couples interact?"
"No... isn't it?"
"Your parents did this too?"
Qian Qian neither confirmed nor denied!
Just then, Ning Shu yawned and woke up. Glancing at her watch, she immediately sat up: "Damn, I almost overslept! Where's that Lu Zhe guy?"
She jumped down and looked around.
Next she saw that unbelievable scene across the campfire!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second?
