The next morning, the sun shone brightly. The aroma of breakfast wafted from the kitchen. "Good morning, everyone!" A cheerful voice greeted them as a young woman, dressed in a maid's uniform, entered the dining room with a tray of steaming dishes. "M

A group of people partied until late into the night; some stayed, and some left.

This is a statement that aptly describes life, but it's ultimately meaningless. The philosophy of life is reflected everywhere; to notice something and immediately feel sentimental, to sigh and lament, is simply to wallow in self-pity.

Liu Chang'an and Bai Hui left together. Bai Hui stayed at her cousin's place for the night, while Liu Chang'an went home.

"I really dislike Tao Peiyuan." Bai Hui rubbed her hands together and breathed out. She was wearing an exquisite and complicated little dress, which was neither convenient to take off nor convenient to lie down fully clothed on the bed in the e-sports hotel. Today, she was going for an elegant style, not a simple cute style.

"I wanted to say something, but then I realized I didn't have anything to say." Liu Chang'an rubbed his hands together.

Bai Hui glanced at his palm. If An Nuan were with him, would he rub his palms together to warm them, and then cover An Nuan's hands with them?

Definitely, he's so good at flirting with An Nuan.

"Come on, put your hand in." Liu Chang'an continued rubbing his hands together.

Bai Hui stared at Liu Chang'an in disbelief, wondering... what had happened? Had the gods finally discovered their daughter who had been lost on Earth?

"Hurry up," Liu Chang'an urged.

Bai Hui nervously raised her head, her hands clenched into fists, then relaxed, then clenched again, then relaxed again, a few slender white fingers lightly touching his palms before being placed inside.

She was somewhat disappointed; just as she expected...

Liu Chang'an was taken aback. "You... aren't you hot?"

"Hot." Bai Hui's voice trembled slightly.

Liu Chang'an quickly withdrew his hands, rubbing them together until they were burning hot. In such cold weather, they could easily scald her in an instant, causing her to scream and pull away.

Bai Hui withdrew her hand and silently took out a pair of cute bear gloves from her bag and put them on.

"Ah..." Bai Hui suddenly opened her mouth slowly and let out a rather insincere scream.

"What's wrong?" Liu Chang'an asked, puzzled.

"You just want to see others fall for your tricks like fools, then get startled and scream, right?" Bai Hui opened her mouth again, "Ah... ah... ah... it's hot. Are you satisfied now?"

Liu Chang'an felt unusually embarrassed, so he rubbed his hands together.

"Ah... ah..." Bai Hui pressed her advantage, trying to elicit a scream of surprise. "I'll let you hear it all you want."

Liu Chang'an sighed.

"Ah... Oh... Goose..." Bai Hui walked beside Liu Chang'an without looking where she was going, just craning her neck and making all sorts of startled sighs at him.

"Alright, I was wrong, I was wrong." Liu Chang'an raised his hand and pushed her face away; it was unbearable that she kept blowing on his face. "Stop yelling."

Bai Hui then gave a somewhat arrogant snort, a slight upturn of her lips revealing a hint of smugness. Her cheeks felt warm. Generally speaking, when two people are together, it usually means that he is no longer the one teasing her, no longer the one making her laugh and causing her to grit her teeth in anger, but instead, he starts to be disciplined by her. What does that often signify?

In the past, he would probably have grabbed her hand, taken off her gloves with the cute bear pattern, crumpled them into a ball, and stuffed them into her mouth to stop her from screaming.

A person who can talk about physics may not be able to talk about reason.

What does it mean when someone can be unreasonable with you and you won't resort to physical means?

Perhaps she really was the daughter of God. Bai Hui looked up at the sky, then turned to look at him, revealing the most beautiful smile she had shown in nineteen years.

Liu Chang'an escorted Bai Hui to the bottom of Baolong Center. After all, she was a weak, foolish little animal that easily attracted wolves.

When they got home, Shangguan Dandan was still sitting under the electric radiator watching TV. After Zhou Dongdong went home to sleep, Shangguan Dandan occupied this prestigious seat under the radiator and found it very comfortable to sit there, wrapped in a blanket. She didn't want to move at all.

"Look at the time!" Liu Chang'an asked, like a parent telling a child to go to bed, with an air of authority as if the other person's crime was unforgivable.

"Time means nothing to me. I can watch until I want." As Shangguan Dandan spoke, she secretly stretched out her leg and placed it in front of Liu Chang'an, trying to trip him.

Unfortunately, Liu Chang'an remained rooted to the spot, asking with bewilderment, "You already have two televisions, why do you still want to watch TV upstairs?"

"Because I don't have an electric heating table!" Shangguan Dandan said matter-of-factly. "I can only use a small stove, but do you know how many briquettes I need every day?"

"That's called a coal ball, not a lump of coal."

"I want to call myself Coal Ball."

"You keep reading, I'm going to sleep." Liu Chang'an remembered the life philosophy of not arguing with Shangguan Dandan because it was meaningless.

"Alright, goodnight. I'll turn off the TV and the electric radiator for you in a bit." Shangguan Dandan sighed, staring at the TV. "I'm just that kind of frugal person. I don't need your praise. This spirit of managing a household is ingrained in my bones. Back in the Everlasting Palace, when did I ever pay attention to the candles burning all night Pepper Chamber Hall..."

Liu Chang'an ignored her boasting, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and went to bed.

Shangguan Dandan watched Liu Chang'an walk past her twice in the living room, and he really didn't offer her any praise whatsoever!

Shangguan Dandan angrily reached out from under the covers, changed the channel, and quickly pulled her hand back in. It was still most comfortable to be completely covered up.

When Liu Chang'an got up the next morning, he found that the TV and the electric radiant table were still on, so he stood there calmly.

Let's sing a song first:

An enraged person stirs up a dispute

An enraged person stirs up a dispute

Patient people stop disputes.

Patient people stop disputes.

If you are angry

If you are angry

Looking up to Jesus

Looking up to Jesus

After singing this song, Liu Chang'an sang a section of "Don't Be Angry," a song that Domingo, Carreras, and Pavarotti had once sung together.

I'm truly at peace now.

Just as Liu Chang'an was about to leave, Zhou Dongdong also got up and was carrying a small plastic hen downstairs. When she saw Liu Chang'an, she squeezed the hen and made a sharp, piercing "quack..." sound, reminding Liu Chang'an to turn around and take her hand.

Liu Chang'an held Zhou Dongdong's raised hand and walked downstairs. Zhou Dongdong called the dog's name, and Lu Si'en came out of the doghouse, wagging its head. It circled the two of them and licked their shoes to show its loyalty.

"What should we eat today?" Liu Chang'an pondered a serious question. When he was poor, he didn't need to think about this; a bowl of white rice every day was enough to fill his stomach and satisfy him. But when he had more choices, he began to have some worries.

If I'm already troubled by my own standard of living, then a fairy like Zhu Juntang must have an even more dull and boring life.

"Eat something delicious!" This was a simple question for Zhou Dongdong.

Simplifying complex problems reveals a profound philosophy of life, which Liu Chang'an found somewhat enlightening. No wonder this child is someone Liu Chang'an can hold hands with.

After idly thinking about all sorts of random things, Liu Chang'an still hadn't decided what to eat today, so he knocked on Shangguan Dandan's door.

The door remained closed.

Liu Chang'an kept knocking on the door until Shangguan Dandan opened it, revealing a pair of sleepy eyes looking blankly at Liu Chang'an through the crack in the door.

"Your posture is wrong, get up and sleep again," Liu Chang'an kindly reminded him.

"Bang!" Shangguan Dandan slammed the door shut.

Liu Chang'an then took Zhou Dongdong to the market to buy groceries, and it was another refreshing day.

The morning market is full of life. Sometimes, I feel that being away from the market for too long makes life feel empty and unreal. Only by coming to this place full of the most authentic local atmosphere can I be reminded that the most basic need in life is nothing more than three meals a day.

Humans, with their short lifespans, will likely only return to a simpler way of life when they are old and frail, no longer able to generate excessive desires... As for what kind of life to live at what stage and what kind of desires to satisfy, the advice of those who have been there, "you'll know when you get old," is actually meaningless.

Life is more than just three meals a day; it's also about trying new things and having all sorts of experiences.

So Liu Chang'an bought a live snake at the market and took it home, intending to cook it for Zhou Dongdong.

"Hello!"

Zhou Dongdong had already sped off with Lu Si'en like a mad airplane.
