Looking at Helena in front of him, Luo Wei revealed a gentle smile.
"Didn't I tell you to wait for me in the classroom? Why did you come here?"
"Everyone in the classroom..." Helena lowered her head, "was too enthusiastic. Helena doesn't like it. Helena wants to be with brother."
Luo Wei rubbed her hair, "That's because you're too cute and popular."
Helena hesitantly raised her head.
"Is brother done with his business?"
"Yes, it's done."
"Oh..." Her sapphire blue eyes were full of curiosity, "Is that Teacher Evelyn... very beautiful?"
Luo Wei's heart tightened. What he worried about most was anything involving Teacher Evelyn, whom he had strong feelings for.
However, he didn't show it on his face.
"Why are you asking about this? Who did you hear it from?"
"Um... Helena heard it from brother's classmates. They all say Teacher Evelyn is very beautiful... but a bit strict..."
Hearing Helena's words, Luo Wei was taken aback.
Strict?
He recalled his experience in the office earlier.
No matter how he looked at it, Teacher Evelyn didn't seem to fit the word "strict" at all...
Though confused, Luo Wei still didn't express it. Instead, he went along with it:
"Yeah... she is indeed very strict, and particularly acerbic. I don't even want to go to the office a second time..."
"Ah! Really?"
"Yes! It's like she's going through early menopause!" Luo Wei timely feigned a disgusted emotion.
"I see..." Helena seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to her face.
"Then let's go home quickly, brother!"
Luo Wei also breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
As long as it didn't involve Teacher Evelyn, it was fine. He believed she wouldn't mind him badmouthing her a bit...
The two held hands and left the corridor, chatting and laughing.
However.
At the moment they turned to leave, Helena looked back.
She gazed thoughtfully towards that office.
...
On the way home, Helena asked him again.
If he could stop going to school and stay at home to accompany her full-time.
The answer, of course, was yes.
After three consecutive save file reloads, he had figured out Helena's temperament.
He neither provoked her nor refused her request.
His skillfulness was heartbreaking...
As a result, Helena was in an exceptionally good mood.
She clung to Luo Wei's arm, her face full of happy smiles, even humming a tune.
"Brother is so good~"
Moreover, this time, because Helena was pleased, she didn't express that almost perverse possessiveness.
Nor did she handcuff Luo Wei like a prisoner.
"Helena is going out to buy groceries!"
Helena waved happily to Luo Wei.
"In the four years we haven't seen each other, Helena has been practicing her cooking skills!"
"Brother, wait for me obediently at home, okay~"
"Be careful and come back soon," Luo Wei said insincerely.
"Don't worry! Brother, don't worry about me!"
After seeing her close the door.
Luo Wei counted silently for over a minute in his heart.
When he was sure she had really left.
Luo Wei ran upstairs quickly, racing against time.
Joking aside, how could he possibly hope for her to come back soon?
Luo Wei even hoped she would get into an argument with the vegetable vendor.
[Stability Suppression Potion ×1]
[Potion in preparation...]
In the previous rewind, although this potion didn't have much effect, having an extra preparation couldn't hurt.
Luo Wei nervously looked back at the door, praying in his heart for Helena to return slowly.
One second...
Two seconds...
Thirty seconds...
[Preparation complete]
The house was still quiet. Luo Wei breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stuffed the glass bottle into his trouser pocket.
But then, after careful consideration, he still felt it wasn't secure enough.
He went to the corridor, looked around, and then hid the potion in the vase by the door.
Only then did he return to the first floor with peace of mind.
So far, everything had gone incredibly smoothly, so smooth that Luo Wei could hardly believe it.
He couldn't help it; facing the capricious Helena, he was truly terrified...
Night fell.
After Helena returned, she prepared a table full of exquisite dishes for Luo Wei.
The candlelight flickered, creating a quiet and cozy atmosphere.
Luo Wei's heart, however, began to race involuntarily.
It was that "Death Dinner" again.
Whether he could live to see the next day's sun depended on tonight.
"Brother! Try Helena's cooking quickly!"
Looking at Helena's expectant gaze, Luo Wei smiled and swallowed the food she passed to him.
"Wow!"
Luo Wei opened his eyes wide and said with surprise: "It tastes really good!"
This wasn't a lie. Helena really had a talent for cooking, but the previous time he was so worried that everything tasted like sawdust.
"Really? Is it really that delicious?" Helena's eyes seemed to light up.
"Really," Luo Wei nodded, "Would your brother lie to you?"
"Brother must never lie to me~" Helena smiled happily, eagerly pushing other dishes towards him.
"Otherwise, Helena will be very angry."
Luo Wei knew she didn't like wasting food, so he pretended to have a great appetite and started eating.
Helena rested her chin on her hands, intently watching Luo Wei eat heartily, her eyes curving into beautiful crescent shapes.
Seeing her brother eat seemed to satisfy her more than eating herself.
The atmosphere continued like this.
Until.
"Brother..."
"What is it?"
Helena glanced at the large dining table with only two people and the empty house.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, her gaze became complex.
She said softly:
"In the past, we all used to gather around the table to eat, it was so lively..."
"Now it feels so empty..."
"Does brother miss those times?"
Finally, it came... Luo Wei's heart skipped a beat.
This was a fatal question. If answered incorrectly, all his efforts would be in vain.
Luo Wei's gaze slowly moved towards Helena.
Now, she was sensitive, easily angered, and emotionally unstable...
She extremely resented his contact with other females, viewing them as enemies.
Especially the other female protagonists from the first playthrough, Helena had undisguised hatred towards them...
So, her asking this was just a test.
It definitely wasn't as she said, truly missing the old times.
"Actually, I do miss it a little bit..."
Unexpectedly, Luo Wei agreed with Helena's statement in his first sentence.
Sure enough, Luo Wei noticed from the corner of his eye that Helena's arms suddenly trembled uncontrollably.
The flame flickered suddenly, and the temperature dropped.
[Pollution Level: 85↑]
"Is that so..." Helena lowered her head slightly, making it impossible to see her eyes.
Her voice also became very low.
"Brother..."
"Are you really still thinking about them? Is Helena not good enough..."
Luo Wei smiled, gently stroking Helena's hair.
[Negotiation/Pacification (Master)]
[Activated]
At this moment, Luo Wei gazed at Helena in front of him, as if he could see through her downcast emotions and into her heart.
Only when emotions are low is it easier to open one's heart.
The strategy begins.

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
