It Sounds So Reasonable

He Qing handed the roujiamo he had bought to Xu Yanche. "I got this for you. Try it."

Xu Yanche took it and bit into it. It was fragrant and juicy—delicious.

"It's good. Do you want a bite too?"

As he spoke, he moved the roujiamo in his hand toward He Qing.

See how generous I am? But you can only have one small bite. This definitely isn't because I'm stingy and don't want to share—it's for my darling Qingqing's image. What overbearing CEO would eat a roujiamo? Sigh, I'm such a thoughtful and understanding person.

The slight ripple that had just risen in He Qing's heart settled back down.

He reached out and touched Xu Yanche's messy, sticking-up hair.

His fingertips brushed over Xu Yanche's cool, handsome cheek.

He touched the tiny red mole at the corner of Xu Yanche's eye.

Xu Yanche's features had an overall cool, detached air.

When he was silent and expressionless, he gave off the impression of a cold, exiled immortal.

But that tiny red mole added a hint of seductive charm to Xu Yanche.

He Qing boldly kissed Xu Yanche's lips.

Just as he was about to deepen the kiss, Xu Yanche pushed him away.

Xu Yanche sprang out of He Qing's arms. "My mouth tastes like meat. It's not suitable for kissing. It'd be bad if there were bits of meat stuck between my teeth."

He Qing: "..."

Fine, fine. Just fine. That little ripple that had just risen vanished again.

Sometimes, he felt that Xu Yanche had been sent specifically to torment him.

Whenever affection for his little wife arose in his heart,

his little wife would promptly step in and snuff it out.

He Qing calmed himself. "Try it. If there's anything else you want to eat, have the chef make it for you."

Xu Yanche sat cross-legged on the floor and checked the computer. Only after confirming that the client was satisfied did he finally start eating in peace.

"Aren't you working? You actually came all the way here to bring me food yourself."

He Qing took out a roujiamo from the bag and ate it unhurriedly.

He Qing and Xu Yanche's table manners formed a stark contrast.

He Qing ate elegantly, while Xu Yanche ate like a wild man.

He Qing said, "I'm the CEO. I don't need to be at the company every second of the day. If I had to handle everything myself, then why would I spend so much money hiring those employees?"

Xu Yanche said, "That sounds so reasonable."

After eating, Xu Yanche tidied up his things, sprawled on the sofa in the study, and watched He Jing seriously work through her papers after finishing lunch.

This little girl's personality changed fast. Before, making her do problems was like killing her. Now she's answering them so seriously. All I can say is, she's worthy of being taught by me.

Hahaha, I'm so smart. Now it's time to read some comics. I still need to record a few audio clips tonight and make some extra cash. Another day, I'll have Zhang Mammy get me onto a variety show so I can go have some fun. And eat some gossip while I'm at it.

But the juiciest gossip still has to come from wealthy families. That perfectly good banquet last time turned into a mass arrest. Rich people really know how to have fun. Too bad I can't see any gossip about He Qing's and He Jing's parents, but I can get a little glimpse of He Jing's gossip. Even if it's only a tiny bit, hahahaha.

Wait, why does my phone keep pushing stuff about criminals, criminal reward notices, and major criminal cases from recent years? Is something wrong with this phone? I usually like listening to novels, not this stuff.

This is so strange. Why is every video about criminal news? I do have a brave heart that wants to defeat criminals, but I'm useless. The circumstances don't allow it. Forget it, I'll play with my tablet instead.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Why? Why exactly? I'm going to kill all of you! Why am I still getting these recommendations?

He Jing, who was working on her papers, fell silent as she listened to Xu Yanche's noisy thoughts.

Was she supposed to be allowed to finish her questions or not?

Though it was noisy by her ears, she could only endure it. After all, Xu Yanche had not actually spoken. These were Xu Yanche's thoughts.

Forget it, I'll just take a look. If the algorithm keeps recommending it, there must be a reason. Damn, why are these criminals so cruel? Those kids were so young when they got trafficked. Their whole lives were ruined, while these people only needed to sit in prison for a few years before getting out.

Why does no one investigate these unsolved cases? Damn, damn, damn. If I were a cop, I'd investigate them all like crazy. Wait, I have the ability to see gossip. As long as I see a criminal, I can find out what they did.

But I'm just an ordinary citizen with no connections. If I ran to the police station and said I had the ability to see other people's secrets, they'd definitely arrest me as a lunatic.

Forget it, forget it. Better not. I'll read a novel for a while. This crazy novel is good—I'll keep following it.

He Jing, who was doing her homework, was stunned. She had never expected that seeing other people's gossip could be used to catch criminals. It sounded so lofty.

It was not only He Jing who was stunned. Even Zero Zero, who had been loafing around, was shocked.

Zero Zero: Wait, the Gossip System can be used like this too?

Zero Zero instantly perked up as though pumped full of adrenaline and began urging Xu Yanche, who was reading a novel. Host, I think your idea just now can be put into practice. We need ideological awareness. We need to serve the people. We need to shine and give off heat.

It sobbed inwardly. It did not want to be a useless system looked down upon by other systems. It wanted to prove itself.

Xu Yanche calmly flipped through his novel.

Easy for you to say, but we have no connections. And people advocate believing in science these days. Like after I opened my Heavenly Eye, I can use a little magic to see ghosts, but no one believes me. So let's behave and save ourselves the trouble.

Zero Zero wilted. All right.

Zero Zero sprawled on a rocking chair in the garden, then suddenly thought of something. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Xu Yanche felt like his ears were about to go deaf. Shut up.

Zero Zero said excitedly, Host, doesn't He Qing have a friend who's a captain? We can go to him.

Xu Yanche replied, That actually makes some sense. When He Qing comes back tonight, I'll ask for his contact information. Now shut up. I want to read my novel, and I have other things to do later.

Zero Zero obediently muted itself and went to sleep.

He Jing, sitting at the desk answering questions, only felt that her ears had been thoroughly ravaged.

Her little sister-in-law's inner world was far too rich.

So rich that it exceeded human imagination.

It would be nice if her thoughts could quiet down a little.

After He Jing finished all the papers,

Xu Yanche took the papers out and told He Jing to study properly in the study while he went upstairs to mark them.

He Jing asked, "Why do you have to go upstairs to mark the papers?"

Xu Yanche looked at He Jing as though she were an idiot.

Does this kid have no self-awareness at all?

"I'm doing this for your sake. Study properly."

Damn it, this kid really didn't grow a brain. With my temper, if she did badly on the papers, I wouldn't be able to stop myself from hitting her.

He Jing: "..." Fine, fine. She had forgotten about this little sister-in-law's palm strength.
