3 a.m.
Lu Qing finished his last task for the day, got up, packed his equipment, and said to Tang Hua, who was still tirelessly working at the computer desk:
"Time to clock out."
Watching the "Durability Timer" reset to zero after far exceeding 24 hours, Tang Hua turned around in shock:
"Boss, are you serious?"
"Of course."
Lu Qing stood up subtly, glancing toward the door.
At that moment, Tang Hua turned off her microphone, smiled at the stunned Gachi fans on the screen, and ended the stream decisively—
She turned and walked toward him, blinking, "In such a hurry to go home? Won’t you stay a bit longer?"
"...Don’t come any closer. I’m warning you, take one more step, and you’re in danger."
Lu Qing rubbed the bridge of his nose, swiftly grabbed his backpack, and dashed to the door, ready to slip on his shoes and leave.
But suddenly, an unexpected touch from behind sent a jolt through his body, making him arch forward in alarm—
"Tang Hua!"
"Ugh."
"You better not break the rules."
"Got it, I won’t dare."
Tang Hua muttered, "It’s just a hug, nothing more..."
"..."
What a way to say "just."
Lu Qing resisted the black hole-like pull behind him, quickly unlocked the five locks (which Tang Hua had secured earlier under the pretext of needing quiet during the stream), and stepped out of Room 301.
"We agreed on how things would be. You’ve already achieved 300 ships and 50,000 in gift revenue tonight. You’re amazing, and you’re not far from your goal. So, don’t do anything you’ll regret, okay? Don’t get too greedy."
Lu Qing stood sternly outside the door, looking back at her pitiful expression inside the room.
"Mm... I know, I know. Boss, I was impulsive. I’m sorry."
"..."
For some reason, seeing Tang Hua admit her mistake so meekly made his heart feel even more indescribable.
It was a twisted, complicated mix of emotions—endurance, torment, entanglement, regret, reluctance, the desire to satisfy her but also the awareness that it wasn’t right, the urge to praise her but not wanting her to become complacent.
Neither left nor right felt right.
He wanted to give her a hug, but he knew all too well that embracing a succubus like her would lead to endless consumption.
Tonight, he wouldn’t be able to leave the room.
Not tomorrow, nor the day after.
If that happened, his life would fall apart.
What about his sister?
What about Bai Xing?
Absolutely not.
At least, not now.
Lu Qing gritted his teeth, mustering the resolve of a warrior cutting off his own arm, and turned away.
Leaving her with these words:
"I know you can do it."
"But don’t get too carried away."
"Even though your net profit today exceeded 30,000, I still want to remind you that there are many temptations in this world. They may seem beautiful and enticing, but once you taste them, you’ll realize they’re fleeting and addictive."
Lu Qing spoke with his back to her, "I hope you can stay true to yourself as you approach your goal. Don’t fall into the trap of desire, or you might not be able to escape later. Tang Hua, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, Boss."
Tang Hua lowered her head slightly, not daring to look him in the eye.
Because at that moment, she was smiling—
[I understand. I will fall into the vortex of desire, neither struggling nor escaping.]
[I will indulge in this desire every day, finding the meaning of my life within it.]
[Boss, you are my meaning. You...]
[Don’t even think about leaving me.]
...
"Then I’ll wait for you."
Lu Qing had completely underestimated the depth of Tang Hua’s desires.
Under her disturbingly affectionate gaze, he quickly walked away.
Only when his figure disappeared at the end of the hallway did she finally relax, licking her full red lips and exhaling softly.
She turned back into the room, locked the door, and murmured to herself:
"Today, I’ll reward myself too."

~【Yandere Sister · Volume 3 · "Half"】~
...
Under the night sky, Tianhai City was breathtakingly beautiful.
This city, known for its vibrant nightlife, often only revealed a mysterious corner of its veil after 10 p.m.
The bustling lights and the soothing evening breeze, set against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers in the city center, created a surreal, modern atmosphere.
Lu Qing walked down the street, passing by small groups of night owls.
It felt like it had been a long time since he first arrived here.
"So surreal," he murmured as he climbed onto the overpass.
He walked to the center of the wide overpass, which spanned the middle of the main road.
Leaning his arms on the railing, he gazed aimlessly at the endless stream of cars below.
Even at 3 or 4 a.m., the traffic here never stopped.
In silence, he gazed into the distance, enjoying this rare moment of peace amidst the city’s background noise.
【Buzz, buzz.】
The peace didn’t last long.
With a vibration, he was pulled back to reality, reaching into his pocket to pull out his phone and unlock the screen.
"Hello? Su Ling. Still awake?"
"I’m waiting for you."
"Ah."
"Brother, when are you coming back?"
"Soon."
"...By the way, there’s a lot of wind noise on your end. Are you outside?"
"Yeah. I’m on the overpass near the building."
"That’s good... Well, come back soon. I’m a bit sleepy."
"Okay."
*Click.*
After his sister hung up, Lu Qing put his phone away.
He sighed deeply.
"Su Ling’s still awake."
"Of course, at this hour, she wouldn’t be asleep."
"She’s probably practicing the piano."
"Or researching something else."
Recalling the image of her opening his safe, Lu Qing shook his head, feeling that he needed to talk to her about this at some point.
After all, it had been so long, and he still didn’t know how her condition was progressing.
Ever since she got her hands on "Black Cat," it seemed like she hadn’t taken any medication.
Lu Qing knew that Black Cat couldn’t cure her illness. That was impossible.
A person suffering from severe depression wouldn’t recover just by playing the piano. That wasn’t realistic.
—Because he had failed at it himself.
So, she must have found some other form of emotional support. And he had already uncovered half of the answer—
She wanted to use "Black Cat" and "music" to convey some of her innermost thoughts to him.
The lyrics of "Jun Qing" could only express a small part of it.
The true underlying message would only be revealed at the very end, when she would take his hand and tell him about "that day’s emotions" face to face.
Until then, her "words" would change irregularly over time, depending on how she felt about him in her heart.
"You’ve hidden it so well..."
Lu Qing stretched his body, jumping back onto the safe area from the railing’s footrest.
He couldn’t be sure how much his sister had known about him before that rainy night.
Was it really as her aunt had said—that he was a mystery to her, and she knew nothing about him?
Was the handwriting on that card really her aunt’s?
Were the life lessons her aunt had imparted to Su Ling real, or were they something Su Ling had conjured from the depths of her own mind?
What kind of life had she been living before meeting him?
What was her state of mind like at school?
【Everything was a mystery.】
The night breeze grew colder, and the neon lights flickered.
Lu Qing suddenly rolled up his sleeve, looking at the jade pendant wrapped around his wrist.
He turned and slowly walked down the overpass—
Muttering to himself:
"I really want to know... did you send me her, or them?"
...

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
