Chapter 19

Zhen Ge had never known such shameless people existed.

She was about to go crazy because of these three men!

She couldn’t take it anymore and gave each of them a hat and sunglasses, telling them to take their stuff and leave her house as quickly as possible!

They seemed reluctant, but Zhen Ge had immense strength, so none of them could resist her and were all pushed outside the door.

Maybe they hadn’t figured out why their girlfriend, who had been so weak she couldn’t even open a bottle cap, now had such strength.

Once she closed the door, Zhen Ge saw the three pets—Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao—sitting in front of her, watching her.

Zhen Ge, feeling annoyed, said, “What are you staring at? Do you want to leave with them too?”

Sigh… After saying that, Zhen Ge thought it wasn’t such a bad idea. Since she was about to leave this world soon, Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao would need someone to take care of them.

“Do you want to go back with your dads?” Zhen Ge thought for a moment about the pets’ feelings and asked.

Just as she finished speaking, Da Bao quickly ran off and climbed to the highest cat tree in the house; Er Bao continued to chew on its clothes; and San Bao pretended to be indifferent, looking around at the scenery.

Zhen Ge: “…”

Forget it. I’ll raise them a bit longer.

…

Life as a couch potato was really passing quickly.

After “Unusual Love” aired, Zhen Ge spent her days at home, doing nothing but picking at her feet.

Lan Qin was upset about it: “How could this happen? The reviews for the first episode were pretty good… Why hasn’t any work come to you?”

After complaining, Lan Qin looked at Zhen Ge, who was eating ice cream, and worried that talking too much might upset her. She quickly said, “Don’t be sad, little Ge. It’s just the first episode. There will be opportunities in the future!”

Zhen Ge didn’t listen to what Lan Qin said at all. She felt that the current situation was pretty good. After the second episode airs, she thought she might need to act a bit “more dramatic” to get attention.

“Hey, isn’t that Qi Yixue?” Just as Lan Qin was about to say something, she suddenly saw Qi Yixue coming out of the pet shop alone, holding her little teddy dog, Dudian.

Lan Qin, while tearing open her ice cream wrapper, said, “This is really strange… Qi Yixue actually came to the pet shop alone. Doesn’t Mr. Lu stick to her like glue, practically trying to become a part of her? Why is she here by herself?”

“Oh right, I heard Lu Zheng’s body is in a bad condition.” Lan Qin muttered to herself.

At first, Zhen Ge didn’t pay much attention to Qi Yixue’s appearance there. Even if Qi Yixue was there, Zhen Ge wasn’t particularly concerned.

But just at that moment…

The system, which hadn’t appeared for several days, suddenly reappeared as if resurrected, and it said mechanically: [Warning, host! Warning! The plot has deviated by 20% from the original, and a small punishment will be given if the deviation reaches 20%. Please pay attention!]

Hearing this, Zhen Ge, who was drinking water, spat it all over Er Bao’s head. The dog, who had been quietly lying on the floor resting, suddenly jumped up and started barking angrily at her.

“Alright, alright, Er Bao! I’m sorry!” Zhen Ge quickly apologized, but Er Bao was still upset.

If it had been any other day, Zhen Ge would have tried to calm Er Bao down, but today she really didn’t have the time.

“System, what’s going on? I’ve been staying at home quietly, why is the plot deviating again?” Zhen Ge asked, fuming with anger.

She truly hadn’t expected this. She thought things were going well, but the result was completely different.

[Host, this has nothing to do with you.] The system replied seriously.

Zhen Ge felt like she could strangle the system. It always spoke in such a sarcastic tone.

“Then explain whose fault it is?” Zhen Ge really had to hold back her anger.

[Host, here’s the situation… The male and female protagonists are facing a small problem now!]

What kind of problem could Lu Zheng and Qi Yixue be having? Aren’t they already at the final stage of chasing each other? How could there be a problem?! Wait… Zhen Ge suddenly thought, Lu Zheng… She shakily raised her hand, wanting to take a sip of water to calm her nerves, but after a long time, she still hadn’t managed to drink any.

“Could it be… Lu Zheng really became a eunuch?!” Zhen Ge finally mustered up the courage to ask.

[No, because you timely gave Lu Zheng the medicine developed by this system, his condition is now stable.]

Oh…

Hearing the system say this, Zhen Ge finally sighed in relief.

She casually asked, “Then what else could cause the plot to deviate? Is the deviation calculated randomly by you?”

Zhen Ge: “…” It’s getting serious, fists clenched.

She had known all along that earning that one hundred million wasn’t easy.

“Why does this concern me? Why are you coming to me?!” Zhen Ge was really tired. “If Lu Zheng really got back together with Qin Fengyue, what could I possibly do about it?”

Strictly speaking… Zhen Ge could only be considered a secondary female character in this book, while Qin Fengyue was diligently working as the main female antagonist. She and Lu Zheng were childhood friends, and they had a bit of romantic tension between them. But when Qi Yixue appeared in Lu Zheng’s life, Lu Zheng’s eyes could only see Qi Yixue… And then the two became entangled—Qi Yixue started running away, Lu Zheng chased her, and Qin Fengyue caused trouble. After getting together, Qi Yixue secretly suffered countless times because of Lu Zheng and Qin Fengyue’s relationship. Qin Fengyue also openly caused trouble. Eventually, Qi Yixue, heartbroken, wanted to break up with Lu Zheng. At that point, Qin Fengyue thought she had won, but after Qi Yixue left, Lu Zheng realized how important she was to him. He also saw Qin Fengyue’s true face, and after confronting her, Qin Fengyue admitted to her wrongdoings. Unable to face Lu Zheng, she went abroad, and Lu Zheng’s chase after Qi Yixue began in full force…

It was just a simple romance novel.

But why was it so complicated?

Zhen Ge started to have a headache.

[Host… This is an accident. Of course, to help the host perfectly complete the task, I’m giving you three chances to draw skills!] The system didn’t directly take the draw but instead asked: [Would you like to draw, host?]

Zhen Ge: “…” The system is really stingy!

“I’ll draw once! I’ll save the other two for later!” Zhen Ge said. She wanted to try her luck with this draw and see whether or not to use the other two chances.

[Alright, host.]

[Now, the skill draw begins… Three, two, one! Draw complete! Congratulations, host! You’ve drawn “No One Can Escape My Eye’s Mirror”! As long as you hold the mirror and gaze at the other person for three seconds, the mirror will immediately show the number of times that person has done indescribable things from birth until now! PS: It’s very useful for finding “liars” since their numbers never stay the same. Host, you have really good luck, drawing such a treasure!]

Zhen Ge only felt dizzy!

She knew that the system was full of ridiculous things, but she never expected it to be this ridiculous.

She didn’t even know how to use the “No One Can Escape My Eye’s Mirror”!

“I feel like… this doesn’t really apply to Lu Zheng and Qi Yixue…”

Before Zhen Ge could finish, the system quickly replied.

[Host, would you like to prepare for the next draw?]

“No, no need!” Zhen Ge quickly said.

If she got another useless thing like this, she felt she might not be able to keep her calm.

“Zhen Ge? Baby, what’s wrong?” Lan Qin pushed Zhen Ge gently, asking cautiously. “You’ve been spacing out since earlier. Is it too hot, and you’re feeling faint?”

“I’m fine!” Zhen Ge suddenly patted her pocket and pulled out a mirror smaller than her palm.

“You even brought a mirror. Let me see!” Lan Qin took it and looked in the mirror before returning it to Zhen Ge. “Ugh, it’s too small. Can’t see clearly.”

Unlike what Lan Qin saw, when Zhen Ge took the mirror, it didn’t show her own reflection but instead Lan Qin’s face… with a large number 0 displayed above her head.

Zhen Ge: “…” She had never been so speechless in her life. What on earth was the point of this mirror?!

Just as Zhen Ge was feeling a headache, she saw Qi Yixue sitting alone on a bench in the park.

“Why is Qi Yixue sitting there?” Zhen Ge suddenly asked.

“Hmm? Didn’t I just say… Qi Yixue, for some reason, came out of the pet store and sat there for a long time. She seems to have something on her mind.” Lan Qin didn’t mind at all. “Hey, do you think it’s because Lu Zheng’s condition isn’t good?”

Zhen Ge sneered inwardly. Lu Zheng was doing just fine! He had even managed to bring back his childhood sweetheart, who didn’t even exist in this final part of the story.

“Baby, you stay here and play with Er Bao for a bit. Once Da Bao is done, take them home. I’ll go check on Qi Yixue!” Zhen Ge grabbed the mirror the system had just given her and went over.

“Hey, baby! Where are you going?!” Lan Qin initially wanted to chase after her but was stopped by Er Bao.

Zhen Ge practically jogged over to Qi Yixue’s side. After sitting down, Qi Yixue didn’t react. It wasn’t until Zhen Ge cleared her throat that Qi Yixue turned to look at her.

“Zhen Ge? How is it you?” Qi Yixue said in surprise.

“Why can’t it be me?” Zhen Ge confidently sat down beside Qi Yixue, her expression serious as she asked, “Tell me, did Lu Zheng do something wrong to you?”
