Chapter 194: Visit

After solidifying his decision, Shen Yi prepared himself something to eat.

Though he hadn't moved around much, going so long without food had left him starving.

After finishing his meal, he freshened up in the bathroom and lay down on the bed.

Opening the simulator and summoning the holographic screen, Shen Yi began his second simulation.

"Begin a new round of simulation?"

"Yes."

With a thought, Shen Yi confirmed his choice.

[Selected: Fu Nanzhi, Cheng Jun, Shu Yunyi.]

[Simulation begins!]

[You are Shen Yi, a man lost in life, seeking guidance to find an outcome that satisfies everyone.][Every choice you make creates new variables—this time, you must once again decide.]

[Your goal is to mend regrets and achieve fulfillment.]

[Choosing a new starting point is now your priority.]

[After a moment of contemplation, you decide...]

A. When faced with difficulties, slack off—sit back and watch the tigers fight.

B. Live boldly or die trying—charge ahead like a reckless warrior.

C. Neither initiate nor refuse—let sincerity speak for itself.

D. Free action.

The prompts for the second round were similar yet slightly different.

Shen Yi read through them carefully, gaining new insights into his current situation.

Of the four options, the first was now grayed out, leaving only the latter three available.

Shen Yi nodded—this was the limitation of the slacker approach. To bring about change, he needed to break through.

Without much deliberation, he chose option B, deciding to charge ahead recklessly this time.

Once selected, the simulation evolved anew.

[After your previous confession, Fu Nanzhi learned the full story.]

[Feeling deceived, she confronted her cousin Cheng Jun at the company, laying everything bare and questioning her motives.]

[...]

[Cheng Jun joined the battle...]

The earlier narration remained identical, so Shen Yi skimmed past it.

[The situation was now out in the open. The three women appeared calm on the surface, but each was secretly maneuvering behind the scenes.]

[Faced with their overt and covert affections, you neither avoided nor hesitated—you actively responded.]

[Remembering past lessons, you carefully managed time disparities, subtly mediating their relationships, striving to treat everyone fairly.]

[Time was limited, but through your deft maneuvering, though perfection was impossible, you at least ensured impartiality.]

[Fortunately, all three women had their own commitments, making it impossible for them to hover around you daily. Thanks to your efforts, none were left disappointed.]

[Yet this didn’t mean they had come to accept one another—it merely delayed the eruption of the brewing conflict.]

[Because of your actions, Shu Yunyi did not return to her hometown this time, averting another crisis.]

[Gains came with losses. Without her mother acting as mediator, you had to navigate these relationships with even greater caution.]

[Learning from past experience, instead of letting them negotiate among themselves, you took the initiative to propose a set of ground rules.]

[But unlike before, Fu Nanzhi and Shu Yunyi now clashed fiercely over hierarchy, while Cheng Jun remained noncommittal. Once again, events spiraled beyond your expectations.]

[This time, you stepped in decisively, pulling the quarreling pair apart and "persuading" them through physical means.]

[Your hard work paid off. While they were still dazed, you proposed a reconciliation, dissolving the crisis before it could escalate.]

[Meanwhile, Cheng Jun seized the opportunity, cleverly moving back into the apartment across the hall, believing that proximity would eventually win you over.]

[You didn’t disappoint her either, responding warmly and carefully tending to her emotions.]

[Practice makes perfect—your time-management skills had reached new heights.]

[You moved seamlessly among the three, allocating time with precision. Though exhausting, you found the effort deeply rewarding.]

[Time flew, and before long, half a year had passed.]

[One day, Cheng Jun suddenly shared shy yet joyful news—she was pregnant.]

The text distorted, and light flooded his vision as he was pulled into the scene once more.

Shen Yi blinked, finding himself seated in a car that had just come to a stop.

Turning his head, he saw Cheng Jun smiling radiantly at him.

"What are you spacing out for? Let’s go," she said, her eyes sparkling with amusement before teasing,

"Scared?"

Shen Yi chuckled.

"I take responsibility for my actions. Why would I be scared?"

"Besides, we’re already here. Even if I were scared, could I just turn back now?"

Cheng Jun’s pregnancy was unexpected yet not entirely surprising. After spending so much time together without precautions, conception was only natural.

But for the Cheng family, this was a major problem.

As their only daughter and the apple of their eye, the news that their precious girl had been "ruined" meant they absolutely had to meet the man responsible.

Cheng Jun remained calm but reassured Shen Yi, saying,

"My parents definitely won’t be welcoming at first."

"But don’t worry—I’ll back you up."

She giggled, unbothered by the situation.

There would undoubtedly be friction—she knew her parents’ temperaments all too well.

But as long as she stood by Shen Yi, they couldn’t do much. And now, with her pregnancy…

Faced with the prospect of becoming grandparents, Cheng Jun had plenty of ways to make them grudgingly accept it.

Shen Yi grinned as he unbuckled his seatbelt, joking,

"With Jun’s support, I’ve gained a fierce ally!"

Determined to play the reckless warrior, he was ready to brave even the Cheng family’s den.

"Stop fooling around," Cheng Jun rolled her eyes.

"Hurry up. I already told Mom and Dad we’re coming. If we’re late, your first impression will take a hit."

She moved to unbuckle her seatbelt and step out.

Shen Yi snapped to attention.

"On it!"

Seeing her about to exit, he quickly stopped her, then got out himself and circled to the passenger side to open her door with exaggerated courtesy.

"Milady, your chariot awaits. Watch your step."

Cheng Jun let Shen Yi carefully help her out of the car.

She found it a bit excessive and remarked,

"It’s barely been a month. Do we really need to be this careful?"

"Of course! There’s no such thing as too much caution right now."

Though she thought it unnecessary, his attentiveness still pleased her.

Shen Yi then retrieved the gifts from the trunk—he had no idea what Cheng Tianwei liked, so Cheng Jun had prepared them.

It was just a formality; he’d simply place them in a corner later.

After straightening their clothes, they approached the door and rang the bell.
