Can I bring out my great-grandma and count hers as mine?

The fact that the original owner of his body had bought a diamond at auction for Li Weizhou really had become common knowledge. Otherwise, he would never have gotten so much hate.

The tragic part was that outsiders had no idea Li Weizhou had already accepted the diamond. They still thought it was in the original owner's hands.

As for why...

Ha!

When that bastard accepted the gift, this was what he had told the original owner: "I can accept the gift, as a way of acknowledging your feelings for me, but I don't want anyone else to know about this."

...Acknowledge your fucking ass!

Even more infuriating was how the original owner had replied: "As long as you're willing to accept it, I'll do whatever you say!"

...Do whatever your fucking ass says!

Xu Su closed his eyes, his head filled with curses.

At the same time, he felt the kind of helplessness Li Lianhua would have felt if, after being reborn, he had killed Jiao Liqiao ahead of time, avoided the Bicha Poison, subdued Shan Gudao early to prevent chaos in the martial world, and secretly sworn that he would live to a hundred this time and uphold justice-only to accidentally choke to death on a piece of candy at fifteen!

Sigh... Suddenly, I really want to kill myself and take the original owner's body down with me.

"Xu Su! Dinner's ready!"

Hmm??

Dinner?!

Then I'll die later.

Xu Su pulled himself out of his thoughts and jumped down from the tree trunk.

But he lost his footing, his ankle twisting sideways. "Whoa-"

At the critical moment, a pair of large hands caught him around the waist from behind.

"Phew~~~ That was close."

Xu Su breathed a sigh of relief.

The person behind him spoke in a disdainful tone. "With jumping skills like that, you call yourself a monkey? Pick another species."

Xu Su steadied himself and turned around. "Didn't I come down here to be human?"

Huo Yuchen: "..."

[Hahahahaha I'm laughing so hard I'm gonna pee]

[How did I never notice how funny Xu Su was before?]

[Waaah, human joys and sorrows really aren't shared. Am I the only one screaming with jealousy?!]

[I'm jealous too!!! Hubby!!! Get your hands off that hateful waist right now!!!]

After dinner, Director Yu gathered the guests on the living room sofas.

"After spending most of the day together, I'm sure you've all gotten to know one another to some extent."

"Not really."

Xu Su piped up. "For example, I still don't know their bank card PINs."

"...?"

Director Yu: I said to some extent, not an in-depth, 360-degree understanding.

Everyone else: What are you planning?

Director Yu cleared his throat twice and brought things back on track. "Okay, let's move on to our last activity of the day-the 'You Have, I Haven't' game!"

Rules: Each person took turns stating something they had or had never done. Ten fingers represented ten lives, and anyone who did not share that experience had to fold down a finger.

Penalty: The first two people to fold down all their fingers would get no breakfast tomorrow.

With a shrill whistle-"Tweet!"-the game began.

Probably hoping to make up for what had happened that afternoon, Li Weizhou volunteered to go first. "I've won the Shenma Award for Best Actor."

Everyone: "..."

Xu Su: Fuck, he really got to show off with that one.

[Holy shit! An instant kill!]

[A critical hit right out of the gate! That's a Best Actor winner for you!]

Unsurprisingly, everyone folded down a finger.

Li Weizhou smiled smugly, overflowing with a sense of victory. But when his gaze swept over Zhuang Luo beside him, he realized that his critical hit had hurt not just his enemies, but his wife too.

"Luoluo, sorry. I wasn't thinking."

He apologized quietly to Zhuang Luo.

Zhuang Luo merely smiled magnanimously to show he did not mind, then unleashed a critical hit of his own that made no distinction between friend and foe. "I've won the White Hair Floating Newcomer Award."

Everyone: "..."

Xu Su: Fine, you got to show off too.

[Aaaaah, our Luoluo is amazing!!!]

[A round of applause is in order!!! [Clap][Clap][Clap]]

[They're such a couple-even their critical hits are alike!]

Once again, unsurprisingly, everyone folded down a finger.

Next up was Shen Chuanzhu.

He swept an indifferent glance over everyone and said leisurely, "I've eaten rice for forty years."

Everyone: "..."

Xu Su raised his hand. "Can I bring out my great-grandma and count hers as mine?"

Everyone turned to look at him: What do you think?

"...Fine."

Xu Su reluctantly lowered his hand.

[Okay, okay, okay, so that's how we're playing this]

[Xu Su: This damn competitive streak of mine!]

[Fun fact: Shen is forty-one this year, older than everyone else here]

Next up was Lu Jing.

He cleared his throat and said confidently, "I've drunk floral water and medicated oil."

"...?"

Everyone folded down a finger, shooting him complicated looks: Are you insane?

Xu Su raised his hand again. "What a coincidence! So have I! A kindred spirit!"

"...??"

Everyone immediately turned to look at Xu Su instead: You're insane too??

Lu Jing was even more astonished. "No way, Xu Su! You've drunk them too?!"

Xu Su raised an eyebrow. "What's the big deal? I've even drunk dish soap and shower gel."

He was not bragging. He really had.

When he was eight, he had happened to meet a fortune-teller who said he would live to ninety-nine. Refusing to believe it, he had gone home and drunk all those things, one after another.

And then he discovered...

That fortune-teller really had been accurate!

He really was hard to kill!

"..."

[Seriously, guys, you two have some pretty unusual tastes???]

[What a niche field]

[I'm sweating, guys. Can anyone understand the look on my face right now? It's like watching someone eat shit and then grin smugly at me. Oh my god!]

[I don't believe it unless you drink them again in front of me!]

[Just timidly asking, what did they taste like?]

[What do you mean by that, person above? Don't tell me you want to try them too???]

Amid everyone's shock, Huo Yuchen frowned slightly and gave Xu Su a strange look. "How are you still alive?"

Xu Su calmly met his gaze. "Hard to kill."

Huo Yuchen: "..."

[Man, I'm starting to reassess you. Take note]

Then it was Xu Su's turn.

He pretended to think, then smiled elegantly. "I'm fifty million in debt."

Everyone: "..."

[Well...]

[You're pretty proud of that, aren't you? [Smile][Smile][Smile]]

[The wording isn't niche this time, but the situation still isn't exactly mainstream]

[Aaaaah, can you all go take out fifty million in loans right now and beat Xu Su?!!! I fucking can't stand seeing him win!!!]

[Fifty million: Hahahaha, bet you never dreamed I'd get my day in the sun!]
