Journalist Xu's Solution

The reason why the duration of the recent session was kept within a relatively pleasant range was mainly to give his senior sister a sense of accomplishment.

After all, it was his senior sister who had taken the initiative to spice things up. If it dragged on too long, she would be completely exhausted.

Humans have their limits, after all, unless they are an existence capable of transcending humanity like Su Bai.

Sure enough, just as Su Bai expected, Zhou Jialu felt a joyful sense of achievement, leaning against Su Bai and acting coquettishly without end.

It was truly magical; only Su Bai's female confidantes would compete over the speed of completing such a project.

It was purely because Su Bai, this guy, was usually too much of a beast.

After dinner.

The two found a nearby luxury hotel to continue their unfulfilled business.

It wouldn't do to just let his senior sister do all the hard work; Su Bai had to pamper her properly too.

This time, to reward his senior sister for her recent achievements in her managerial duties, Su Bai deliberately slowed down the pace, letting Zhou Jialu thoroughly experience a night of tenderness before she fell asleep happily.

Just as Su Bai was about to go to sleep as well, Liu Chenyang sent a photo to his phone.

[Yangyang: Sigh, that old Taoist priest is back at our house bluffing and deceiving again. Dad trusts him way too much...]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Oh?]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Is it that 'godly' guy you mentioned before, the one who fooled your dad into raising you as a boy?]

[Yangyang: You can't say it's purely the old Taoist's deception. My dad's own head isn't quite right either...]

Every time Liu Chenyang complained about her old man, Liu Chenhu, it was hard to explain in just a few words.

As a grassroots businessman who made his fortune in the previous era, Liu Chenhu had many visible virtues, but also many exasperating flaws.

For example, believing in those mysterious old Taoist priests, fortune-telling, Feng Shui, and the like.

Su Bai had heard Liu Chenyang talk about the old Taoist priest's situation a few times. Truth be told, that guy was quite restrained; he merely scraped a little grease off the Liu family and didn't scheme for too much. Therefore, he never triggered Liu Chenhu's vigilance, and over time, they formed a long-term cooperative relationship.

At the time, Su Bai had also analyzed it with Liu Chenyang: if she wanted to change her father's mind, the most fundamental approach was to start with this old Taoist priest. As the saying goes, whoever tied the bell on the tiger must be the one to untie it.

Ultimately, it was still more suitable for Liu Chenyang to live publicly as a girl.

After a brief moment of thought, Su Bai forwarded the photo Liu Chenyang had secretly taken at the dinner table to Xu Xinran.

[Xu Xinran: ?]

[Crispy Big White Goose: This is a master highly trusted by the Liu family...]

[Xu Xinran: I know. And?]

[Xu Xinran: Do you want to mess with him? It's not impossible, but it seems this won't be of much help to your Yangyang's situation.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: What do you mean by that?]

[Xu Xinran: Even if he goes to jail, as long as Mr. Liu Chenhu's worldview doesn't change, things will remain the same. It might even get worse... After all, the master could portray himself as a victim of persecution.]

That was indeed true.

Reporter Xu's analysis hit the nail right on the head.

In terms of pure intellect, Chen Yusheng might be the smartest woman Su Bai had ever met, but that was in the realm of STEM. When it came to the intricate and troublesome matters of society, Reporter Xu was much more slick and tactful.

Xia was also tactful, but no matter how you looked at it, she had stayed in the ivory tower environment of a university for quite a long time, so she wasn't as street-smart as Xu Xinran.

Su Bai felt he had consulted the right person.

[Crispy Big White Goose: So what is your suggestion?]

[Xu Xinran: Do you need a complete solution?]

[Crispy Big White Goose: I'll pay a consultation fee.]

[Xu Xinran: What you'll need to spend might be more than just a consultation fee...]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Money is not an issue.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: I love spending money the most.]

After all, for the Indulgence System, spending money equaled making money. There was nothing wrong with that.

After waiting for about two minutes, Xu Xinran finally replied.

[Xu Xinran: Sure, give me a little time to organize my thoughts.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: No rush.]

[Xu Xinran: If I get it done, can you reward me... with that?]

Good heavens, Su Bai didn't even know what kind of mindset Xu Xinran had when she typed those words, nor did he know just how deep an obsession this girl had with his...

In a sense, Reporter Xu's eye for quality was indeed excellent. Su Bai's current genes were golden genes optimized by the System Bro, making him the absolute optimal choice for producing offspring.

Mmm...

While Su Bai was playing on his phone, Zhou Jialu, who was in his arms, let out a groggy sound. She turned over slightly, pressing herself even closer to him.

Tsk tsk, this feeling of being clung to by a top-tier goddess was truly wonderful.

Zhou Jialu enjoyed a gentler process. This was different from Chen Yusheng; or rather, every girl's preferences were worlds apart.

For instance, the Wan sisters liked teamwork...

Su Bai tried hard to calm the flames in his heart, closed his eyes, and forced himself to go to sleep.

He slept blissfully holding his senior sister. It wasn't until the sky showed the first pale light of dawn that he got out of bed to go out and play.

Yangyang came for her morning exercise again. Her dad didn't come today because Liu Chenhu had drank quite a lot with the old Taoist priest last night. It was absolutely impossible for him to get up for morning exercise today.

This was a good thing. Without her old man watching over her, Liu Chenyang could venture out in her female form. Anyway, no one recognized her in this form... Oh, to be precise, some people did recognize her, but they were only Su Bai and his female confidantes.

They were all their own people.

This actually made Liu Chenyang quite excited. It felt like they had a harmonious little group, and the level of solidarity within this group was much stronger than those plastic sisterhoods.

A group of besties was often in a state of having a group of dragons without a leader. Because if the dragons did have a leader—that is, if there was a girl in the group with exceptional ability, looks, wealth... basically outstanding in all aspects—then the other girls, out of jealousy, would very likely unite to ostracize her, eventually pushing her out of the little group.

However, with the female confidantes revolving around Su Bai as the core, the atmosphere was completely different.

Don't be fooled by Su Bai's usual joking demeanor, acting as if he didn't care about anything, and his generally easygoing way of dealing with people. In reality, Su Bai was very dominant on the inside.

This dominance fascinated Liu Chenyang.

That was why, right after Su Bai crawled out of his senior sister's bed, he got tangled up with Yangyang again.

Arriving at the familiar pavilion by the riverside walkway, feeling Yangyang's longing gaze, Su Bai couldn't resist either.

Since that was the case, then...

...

Su Bai, do you think Reporter Xu can really come up with a good idea?

With a trace of blurry melancholy on her face, Yangyang lay in Su Bai's arms and asked.

Probably. I think she's reliable. After all, she used to run all over the world as an investigative journalist, so she's seen plenty of eccentric people. In her eyes, your dad might not even be considered particularly eccentric, maybe just a tier-3 at most. You have to understand that in some underdeveloped small countries, 'godly' people can be incredibly bizarre.
