Five Years Is a Blood Profit, Death Penalty No Loss

"Host, skipping breakfast is neither scientific nor healthy. According to this system's research, the money saved by not eating breakfast is not enough to treat stomach disease!

"No one knows how many young people working away from home have failed to save money, developed stomach problems from skipping breakfast due to work, and ended up earning less than their medical expenses! Furthermore, the host's biological clock is extremely irregular. It is recommended that you adjust your schedule and refuse to stay up all night."

Su Qi woke up at noon. The moment he got out of bed, he heard the system's concerned voice, which made him feel rather warm inside.

But since breakfast was no longer an option, he could only hurry up and eat lunch.

Su Qi ordered an affordable and tasty Bulgogi Bibimbap. The shop was running a promotion and even included a bottle of iced black tea. After using a membership coupon to upgrade a five-yuan coupon into an eight-yuan one, combined with the shop's discount, he only needed eight yuan for a filling lunch. That was after Su Qi had added an extra yuan's worth of salad dressing on his own; otherwise, it would have been even cheaper.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Su Qi felt as though his mind had brightened. He walked over to the refrigerator. He knew there were still plenty of supplies inside! Taking out an orange to satisfy his craving, Su Qi even came up with an excuse for himself.

Fruit spoiled easily if left in the refrigerator for too long. It would be a pity if it went bad.

"System reminder: oranges are highly acidic, while fruits and similar foods are mostly cooling in nature. The correct method of consumption is after meals; eating them directly can harm the stomach and intestines. Furthermore, the host has just brushed his teeth, so eating one now will also affect the taste," the system reminded him.

Hearing that, Su Qi could not help feeling that the system seemed to overlap with his mother.

Before he ran away from home, when he was in middle and high school, his mother had always told him such things. Thinking about it now made him somewhat nostalgic. Still, Su Qi took a bite from one of the four orange slices he had cut.

Juice flooded his mouth as the sweet-and-sour flavor burst across his tongue. The deliciousness made Su Qi's large eyes narrow slightly, and two dimples appeared on his face. He looked as adorable and delicate as a young girl.

After swallowing the orange, Su Qi finally responded to the system. "What you said makes a lot of sense, but my dad once said that men shouldn't fuss over details. Don't be so naggy and girly!"

"This system does not quite understand the host's theory. It only knows that this is bad for the body. The system recommends that the host maintain regular eating habits!" After saying that in its cold voice, the system went offline, making Su Qi feel as though it was a little angry.

At that moment, Su Qi had not noticed the changes in himself. Recently, he had been mentioning his parents far more often. Perhaps the host's feminization was gradually changing his way of thinking as well?

Su Qi turned on his computer and decided to review some anime while waiting for his delivery.

Without a Bilibili premium membership, he could only turn to other anime websites. Besides, Yoake Mae Yori Akai Yume, which ranked first on the list, was not even available on Bilibili.

In the end, he chose the Sakura Anime website.

This website was especially conscientious. It had no long advertisements, required no payment, and had a complete selection of resources. Its only shortcomings were that the video quality was not Blu-ray, there were no scrolling comments for interaction, and the servers occasionally crashed. But compared to the word "free," those flaws were hardly worth mentioning.

Watching Qiongmei and Haruka sitting on the train, Qiongmei holding a teddy bear in one hand, her slender figure framed by white hair—even though Su Qi had watched it no fewer than three times, he still found her incredibly eye-catching.

Her timidly hiding behind her brother, her jealousy whenever she saw her brother with another woman, her flushed face, her despair as she walked toward the river, her soaked body as droplets slid down her shoulders while she rode Haruka and cried with joy, and finally, her happy appearance as she abandoned worldly judgment to be with Haruka.

Every time he watched the ending, the siblings huddled together on the train that had brought them there. Unlike their unfamiliarity when they arrived, this time the carriage held only the two of them. Qiongmei boldly straddled Haruka's lap and shared Pocky snacks with him until their lips met and the train disappeared into the distance. It always gave Su Qi a feeling of relief—ah, Qiongmei had finally gotten what she wanted.

Although Haruka, the older brother, was the protagonist of the story, all his spotlight had been stolen by Qiongmei, that tsundere Brother Complex Sister. So many people knew Qiongmei but had no idea what the show was called, while her brother Haruka received barely any attention at all.

As for stories where the female lead stole the show so successfully, the only other one Su Qi could think of was Dream of the Red Chamber. His mother had made him read it when he was young, but unlike Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, or Journey to the West, it was full of the twists and turns within a large family.

Su Qi had not understood it as a child. He had merely regarded Lin Daiyu as the female lead, and after Lin Daiyu died, he thought, The female lead is dead. How can the story continue? Then he dropped the book, only finishing the classic in high school.

Su Qi quickly took screenshots of those images, then examined them one by one to see which picture he should cosplay when wearing the outfit the system gave him.

"The host only needs to understand the story material. When selecting photographs, this system will instruct the host on the poses and provide some assistance. The system recommends that the host go downstairs to collect his food now," the system replied.

Oh, right. He had not eaten yet. After calling earlier and having the food left downstairs, he had actually started sighing over Qiongmei.

Why did the system seem so considerate today?

Su Qi pulled the green hood of his hoodie over his head, hiding most of his face. His lively, spirited eyes were concealed beneath his bangs, and paired with his strangely styled outfit, people's attention naturally fell on his clothes rather than on him.

Su Qi was quite satisfied. Yet after collecting his delivery, he was unexpectedly dragged into the security office.

Bai Miao looked at this suspicious-looking person. As far as she remembered, none of the residents in this complex dressed so strangely. And with that green hoodie, it would have been hard not to suspect him!

Could this be a thief stealing takeout?

"Are you a resident of this complex? Please provide your address," Bai Miao asked. Seeing the cheaply packaged takeout in Su Qi's hands only deepened her suspicions.

"Could this be a thief stealing takeout?"

"No, I'm a tenant in 1507. I signed the contract yesterday," Su Qi explained as he removed his hood. He was in such a hurry to explain himself that he forgot about his voice.

The moment Bai Miao saw Su Qi's small face, she recognized him at once. Beyond her astonishment, she could not help wondering why he seemed even more feminine after just one day.

And those eyes—why did they seem a little larger than before? They were like stars, incredibly pitiful and lovable. That soft, sweet voice made Su Qi seem even more adorable and delicate.

Bai Miao only felt an urge rise in her body to hug him.

The moment she saw Su Qi's eyes, only one thought remained in her mind—spoil her!

"No, wait, weren't you a man yesterday?" Bai Miao remembered that the ID card Su Qi had submitted yesterday clearly said male.

"Uh, Sister, it's not that I was a man yesterday. I've always been a man!" After calming down, Su Qi spoke in a hoarse voice. But after his earlier slip-up, that action obviously could not escape Bai Miao's sharp eyes.

Su Qi's large eyes stared at Bai Miao, her figure reflected in his black pupils. Bai Miao only felt as though those eyes were about to pull her in.

Looking at those slightly watery eyes, she could not help softening. Bai Miao had originally intended to seriously discuss with Su Qi how he could not casually alter the details on his ID card, but she surrendered instead.

Damn it, with such innocent big eyes looking at her, who could say anything harsh? She couldn't take it, she really couldn't!

Bai Miao and Su Qi talked for a while longer. This time, it no longer felt like official business, but more like casual conversation.

After several minutes of chatting, Su Qi's tightly strung nerves gradually relaxed. He held the cup of water Bai Miao had handed him and took small sips, looking like a porcelain doll—obedient and lovable.

Su Qi actually wanted to leave, but apart from Wang Zijin, Wang Yun, and An Ning, whom he had only recently met, there were no other women in his Moments.

And he did not know how to get along with women, so he simply sat there, waiting for her to give him instructions.

Unexpectedly, that obedient appearance struck right at Bai Miao's weakness. She had always wanted a younger sister, but at home she only had stinky older brothers and younger brothers, which had troubled her greatly.

Who would have thought there would be such an ideal little sister here? Although she was disguising herself as a man and looked rather mysterious, that did not stop her from being adorable!

"Miss Bai, the chairman is calling. He said he has urgent business with you!" A man's urging voice came from outside the security office.

The chairman was looking for Bai Miao. Could he be angry because she had been chatting with him?

Su Qi had never entered society; he had always either been in school or on the way to school. But through his QQ Group, he had learned some of society's inside stories.

Especially when it came to bosses and employees. Whenever holidays came and the group members had to work overtime, their furious complaints about heartless bosses were heartrending. Occasionally, a few group members would also complain about their bosses making trouble for no reason!

Su Qi quickly placed Bai Miao in the role of an employee being picked on by her boss over a minor mistake.

"Sister Miao, I'll leave first. You should get busy!"

Su Qi set down the disposable plastic cup and hurried toward the door, afraid that this working woman who had been chatting happily with him would lose her job because of him.

But Bai Miao grabbed him. "Wait, are you only eating this much for lunch? Aren't you at the age where you should be growing? I have some food here. Take it with you!"

Before Su Qi could react, a food container that looked quite nice was handed to him. It was tightly wrapped, and Su Qi found it rather heavy when he picked it up.

"No, no need. This is enough for me!" Su Qi pushed the food container back.

But Bai Miao effortlessly pushed it back again, causing him to bump into the wall behind him.

Was this woman really that strong? Su Qi rubbed his head with his right hand.

Wow, this little sister was too soft and adorable. It felt like she would fall over with one push—that was what Bai Miao thought.

Then she saw Su Qi rubbing the back of his head with a pained expression, as though tears were gathering in his large eyes. It seemed as if he would cry the next second.

Seeing Su Qi's little expression, Bai Miao's heart ached terribly. She hurried forward, hugged him, and gently stroked the spot where he had bumped himself.

After getting closer, the faint Lingering Fragrance in the air became even richer. Only then did Bai Miao realize that the room had not been sprayed with air freshener—it was this little girl's scent.

She smelled so good, and she was so soft to hold. Bai Miao gently stroked the spot Su Qi had bumped, while Su Qi only felt a gentle hand slowly caressing the back of his head. It was very comfortable.

And beneath Bai Miao's OL outfit, her figure was unexpectedly impressive. Su Qi truly had no resistance to this soft, warm embrace.

"Miss, the chairman is looking for you!" Another voice came from outside, startling Su Qi out of Bai Miao's embrace.

"I-I'm not in pain anymore. I'm fine!" With that, he opened the door and ran out, even forgetting to return the food container to Bai Miao.

Bai Miao only felt that without Su Qi in her arms, something seemed to be missing. Greedily inhaling the faint Lingering Fragrance that remained in the air, she reluctantly left the room.

She took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Dad, if you don't have anything important, then you're dead!"

Bai Changshan said, "Well, daughter, was today's food good? Why don't you come home tomorrow? Have you been suffering outside?"

Bai Miao said, "I'm not going back. I'm never going back for the rest of my life! Hmph!"

Then she hung up.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Bai Changshan was somewhat stunned. What was going on? Was there something wrong with his concern?

He was also speechless. He would let things cool down for a while before calling again. After all, he only had this one precious daughter.

"It's all because her mother insisted on making her experience society. Experience what? Can my daughter suffer hardship? Don't you think so, Xiao Liu?"

Assistant Liu nodded frantically. This was a life-or-death question!

When Su Qi came out of the security office, the guard on duty froze. Wasn't that the young miss's lunch? How had it ended up in his hands? Could he have snatched it from her?

But with those thin arms and legs, he definitely could not beat the young miss. So the young miss must have given it to him.

Su Qi had no idea that the guard was once again internally mocking his weak physique. At that moment, he was communicating with the system.

"What's going on? I feel like Bai Miao was different today than she was yesterday," Su Qi asked.

"This is all the effect of Innocent Eyes. The increase in purity happened to align with Bai Miao's preference for pure and innocent people. Wasn't that a perfect match? That is why her favorability toward you increased and she displayed corresponding intimate behavior," the system answered.

"Oh." Su Qi nodded, then remembered the side effect of Innocent Eyes.

"System, do you think someone could really be unable to resist these eyes, imprison me, and then want to dye me in their color?" Su Qi asked.

"This system consulted a great deal of internet data, including QQ and Tieba, and ultimately reached a phrase that would most likely be said after such an event occurred."

"What is it?" Su Qi became curious after the system put it that way.

"Five years is a blood profit, death penalty no loss—"

Su Qi: ...
