Qing Ning's little hands trembled slightly, and she was afraid inside. She looked ahead and saw the book "The Master Confucius."

A sense of sage's words and solemn aura engulfed her, giving off an oppressive feeling.

Bai Weiran placed one hand on the book cover, speaking calmly.

"This is the book you're going to read next. Read it many times, understand it thoroughly, memorize it, and recite the entire text. Understand?"

In the task released by the Sickness-related Girls Pictorial APP, there are various parallel worlds, such as the female-dominated world, the cultivation world, the post-apocalyptic wasteland world, and the villainous game world - Bai Weiran dismissed them all and directly set the filter condition to urban.

Taking the technology civilizational level of her real world as the baseline, she chose not to pick worlds that are too advanced or too backward in technology.

While others may like to experience different types of worlds, Bai Weiran is very cautious and prefers to specialize in certain areas rather than chasing after novelty.

He analyzed that those worlds might seem interesting, but they all have their own established rules and hidden rules that he knew nothing about.

In comparison, if he moved to another civilization or country in reality, the explicit rules would be laws and social customs, and the implicit rules would be humanistic and cultural factors. He would still need to learn and adapt to these anew.

It usually takes at least a decade for someone to truly settle down in a foreign land and empathize with the locals.

Even people who live abroad for their entire life may not fully integrate and still retain many of their original habits and rules.

This shows how difficult it is for people to change.

Since it's difficult for people to change themselves, there's no need to add the trouble of adapting to a new worldview.

Bai Weiran only chose parallel worlds similar to his existing society.

Human history is always repeating itself, and even without experiencing something first-hand, one can learn about it through books, which increases the chances of completing tasks.

His goal is to complete tasks and receive rewards.

Why bother making things difficult for himself by choosing a challenging starting point?

In this gaming world, developers know the importance of taking care of player experiences and ensuring smooth gameplay, understand?

Although parallel worlds are not identical, there may be coincidental similarities in some places. For example, the stainless steel brand in his world is called "303," and it's also called "303" here. However, the reasons for the name are completely different, and there may be interesting situations where the same name refers to entirely different products.

This world's history clearly doesn't have many great Chinese scholars.

Bai Weiran casually borrowed the wisdom of his original world and brought the entire book of "On X Language" over.

However, he also left a note for himself, adding another layer of book cover and renaming the book.

Qing Ning was completely dumbfounded.

Reading?!

Reading!!!?

This strange The Mask man kidnapped her, locked her in a closed room, had her wear an explosively ugly tracksuit, and asked her to sit at the table and read?!

As she opened the book, she saw it was filled with ancient texts she had never encountered before.

What kind of ancient content is this?

Although she didn't say anything, Bai Weiran could see the accusation in her eyes. He pointed to his side for her to sit down and then tapped her head lightly with his hand.

Qing Ning immediately covered her head, looking at Bai Weiran in disbelief.

...He hit her?

...How dare he hit her?

Although the hit wasn't hard and didn't cause much damage, it was extremely humiliating.

Qing Ning had never been disciplined by anyone other than her parents, making this the first time.

Bewilderment and anger mixed together, and she even forgot the ugliness of the tracksuit.

Bai Weiran ignored her expression and continued speaking in the tone he usually used to discipline his sister.

"This book is written by wise elders, you need to face it with respect. Don't always read those love stories or dramas, especially tear-jerking literature. Reading too much of it will ruin you."

"…What is tear-jerking literature?" Qing Ning cautiously asked.

"It's when the male and female leads in a story seem to have no need for work or school. They either have a laissez-faire attitude or achieve success without hard work. They spend their days talking about love, and the smallest misunderstanding or perceived slight can lead to a dramatic breakdown by the riverside, clutching the railing and crying."

Qing Ning: ...

Feels like being mocked.

She used to take all sorts of courses non-stop.

Horse riding, skiing, violin... all sorts of courses without any problem.

But ever since she fell in love with Ling Luo and started pursuing him, she neglected all these things, just going through the motions, and consequently was scolded by her parents and teachers, but she remains stubborn.

She only sees Ling Luo and the girls who talk to him and flirt with him.

Crying at the riverside, leaning on the railing and looking at the river view, this heartache undoubtedly also belongs to her.

At that time, she first saw Ling Luo hugging another girl called Chen Qianqian, who was said to be his former high school classmate. Chen Qianqian took the initiative to confess her feelings to Ling Luo, who silently held her; when she tiptoed to kiss him, he looked annoyed, but still accepted her tearful kiss.

She was all too familiar with his expression because she had seen it when she tried to kiss Ling Luo.

He would look at her with disdain, as if he were a deity but did not reject her advance.

However, she didn't succeed in kissing him because the nurse interrupted them.

In a similar situation, the protagonist is now someone else and their kiss was successful; this caused Qing Ning to collapse and confront Ling Luo, asking him why he did that.

Ling Luo just turned his head slightly and showed a faint, unfathomable smile.

"I didn't ask for it, you are the ones begging me."

"Isn't this what you women desire?"

That night, Qing Ning cried a lot by the surging river.

It was also that night that she vowed to possess this man, to hide him away and never let anyone else take him.

She has been keeping this feeling in her heart, the darkest place that no one can know, but it is shattered by Bai Weiran's casual, even joking tone.

At that moment, she suddenly feels that it's not that serious, and there is a faint sense of relief.

However, tears still burst down her face.

As she cries and reproaches Bai Weiran, she even picks up a pen from the table and throws it at him.

"What do you know? I was the first one, I love him the most, and he also said he likes me. Ling Luo is the best."

Bai Weiran just let her throw the pen, not bothering to stop it in mid-air.

Love is blind.

She isn't stupid either. She vaguely knows what kind of person Ling Luo is.

She just doesn't want to admit it, not wanting to admit that love is dead and needs to be mourned, not wanting to accept that the ideal man she imagined is not what she thought.

Anxious to hold onto him, the more she tries to grasp, the more she falls into the trap and loses herself.

Only now has she forcibly severed the relationship between her and Ling Luo, the withdrawal symptoms must be very painful.

"It's okay." Bai Weiran comforts the weeping Qing Ning.

"I will always stand by your side and help you."

Until you realize that without that man, the world becomes even more vast in the blink of an eye.

That's also the moment when his mission is accomplished.

While soothing her in a gentle tone, he ties the white headband often worn by students repeating exams around her head, with the words "Beautiful Alone!" written on it.

After tying it, he looks at it and feels quite satisfied.

When the shirt and headband are combined, "Don't Touch Me, Beautiful Alone!" becomes the perfect cure for her lovesickness!
