A Qi's ears were so red they looked like they might bleed. "I'm sorry, baby, I didn't know you were in the shower."
Zheng Mengni couldn't see a shadow and fearfully closed her eyes, her voice trembling, "Who are you?"
The idea of something unseen and untouchable was truly frightening. But Zheng Mengni didn't believe in ghosts; she speculated that perhaps someone had installed surveillance in the bathroom, and the voice might be coming from there. She couldn't think of anything else.
"I told you, I can help you become the best version of yourself."
Zheng Mengni looked grateful. "Thank you, but I don't really need that."
"Oh come on, you're studying so hard because you want to be the best, right? I can make it so you learn effortlessly, without all the struggle."
Zheng Mengni obediently responded with a soft "Oh," then adopted a tone meant to soothe a child. "It's okay; learning is a fun thing. What's important is the process, not the outcome."
Effortlessly learning? Even geniuses like Tan Yan and Zhou Minshi couldn't manage that. Zheng Mengni completely dismissed the idea.
A Qi laughed at her naivety and bluntly pointed out, "If the outcome doesn't matter, then why are you pretending and lying? Silly girl."
When her lie was exposed, Zheng Mengni didn't get angry; instead, she joked, "But I wasn't lying when I said learning is fun!"
A Qi was puzzled. "What’s so fun about it?"
Zheng Mengni's smile was pure. "That feeling of being unable to learn no matter how hard you try—doesn't that fascinate people?"
A Qi was exasperated. She still had the energy to tell bad jokes while everything was falling apart around them. The plot was crumbling into chaos; if the story collapsed because everything was a mess, all characters would cease to exist. Let’s see if she’d still be laughing then.
But right now, without a binding contract, he couldn't reveal any information about the novel's content. If he accidentally leaked something to Zheng Mengni and she didn’t bind with him, it would only make the story more chaotic.
A Qi was thoroughly annoyed with this ridiculous rule of the book world.
He cleared his throat dramatically and seductively urged, "Really, trust me! I can not only help you learn everything you want but also make everyone love you madly!"
A soft laugh escaped her lips. "Ah, I understand now."
With eager eyes, A Qi asked, "So, are you willing to accept my help?"
Zheng Mengni smiled brightly. "Of course! To gain everyone's favor effortlessly sounds like an enchanting skill."
A Qi was taken aback by her response and quickly added, "In that case, let's sign a contract! I can help you right away."
"Ah." Zheng Mengni agreed readily, but then added, "Before we proceed, could you tell me what I would ultimately gain from your assistance?"
"Well, every character must follow their storyline to reach their destined conclusion," A Qi explained. "And your ending isn’t exactly pleasant."
However, A Qi promised that before her story concluded, he would ensure that Zheng Mengni could enjoy the benefits without any effort on her part.
"The ending doesn’t matter; we should savor the journey, right? I promise you’ll have whatever you desire every day while we work together."
"But I only care about the conclusion," Zheng Mengni interrupted coldly, her voice losing warmth.
"Everything I do is for a single outcome. I don’t care about the process; you’ve got the wrong person."
"No, wait! Just listen to me!" A Qi pleaded.
"You don’t need to say anything. This conversation is over."
Seeing that A Qi had fallen silent for too long, Zheng Mengni lost her patience. She decided to take a bath, but it wasn’t good for her body.
A Qi felt a surge of frustration. "Hey! If you don’t agree, you’ll regret it! Do you think you can live in peace forever? The day the real heiress returns from the orphanage will be the day you, the Fake Heiress, get kicked out!"
"You’re just being foolish!" he exclaimed. Realizing he had let something slip, A Qi quickly covered his mouth and vanished without a trace.
As he fled, a notification sound echoed in the air.
[Warning! Zheng Mengni's awakening level has reached eighty percent!]
The scene around A Qi shifted continuously as he slowly lifted his head in the seemingly endless time tunnel.
Behind the name Zheng Mengni, two words glimmered with light.
Mediocre.
Vanity.
He wondered if it was just his imagination.
The word "mediocrity" seemed to carry a darker weight than before.
He understood that this was the persona the author had crafted for this character. Once it vanished, it would signify that the character had stepped outside of their established role.
