After experiencing two regressions, you quickly leveraged the information you had gathered in advance to achieve an extremely comfortable life.

You will receive a roasted pig's trotter every night.

[Because if I give you a roasted pig's trotter, you'll receive a thank you from You Lian in the form of a cardboard sign.]

The words spoken by those who cannot speak are invaluable.

[In the New Hope Mental Hospital, this was even something to brag about.]

[The mental hospital turned your life into a sanatorium.]

All you need to do every day is get up on time and do morning exercises.

Then go sit under the ginkgo tree for a while.

[Because the mentally ill are too noisy, and besides you, the only other person who comes here is someone who can't speak at all.]

So even if she wants to explain to you...

All you need to do is close your eyes.

The world fell completely silent.

[You only need to wait quietly for three months, and you can leave the mental hospital as you wish.]

But here's the real problem.

You've been retracing your steps.

This mental hospital is far too dangerous; you're practically dying every day.

[You swear that after you get out, you'll give this mental hospital a low rating on Meituan.]

Because none of the patients or nurses here are normal people.

Your cause of death includes being ambushed and killed by Ms. Rose with a stool during morning exercises, because her rose died and she suspected you of having an affair with her rose.

After killing you, Lady Rose, with tears streaming down her face, said she would allow you to have sexual relations with her rose, but #dying was your fault.

[After rewinding, you successfully evaded Lady Rose's sneak attack.]

But while you were in the toilet, you were helpless and were brutally beaten to death by a goatee who dreamed of starting a gang, with a dagger made of wood.

Because he felt you violated the rules of the underworld. People in the underworld believe that grudges shouldn't involve family members. No matter what grudge you had against Ms. Rose, you shouldn't have raped and killed her family member.

[In another flashback, you successfully evaded the goatee's attack; this time, you didn't squat down when you went to the toilet.]

But he poisoned you at dinner the next day.

[Because the purchasing agent gave Goatbeard a packet of rat poison.]

As a concept god, you still don't know how he purchased that packet of rat poison.

[You can no longer accept this situation and voluntarily request the nurse to put you in solitary confinement.]

"If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them? That's what you're thinking."

[But this time, you died in your solitary confinement room. The nurse who had her pay cut because of you last time took her grudge against you.]

After tying you up, she mumbled about things like mortgage payments, car loans, and failed blind dates, and then forcefully pushed air into your veins...

You've once again retraced your steps to the day you exposed You Lian.

You know, the root of all this still lies with You Lian.

You've truly realized You Lian's ruthlessness.

...

After being thoroughly exposed by Lu Yuan.

You Lian returned to the ginkgo tree, believing her plan to be foolproof.

I never imagined I would be exposed.

This was something she never expected.

So she took a small notebook out of her pocket.

It is clearly written above:

"Street Survival Rule Number One: Kill any man with ill intentions."

The second rule of street survival: Kill all the men who lie.

She planned to secretly destroy Ms. Rose's lover when no one was around, and then tell Ms. Rose that Lu Yuan was behind it all.

No one would doubt what she said.

If that doesn't work, then try to seduce the goatee...

Everyone would believe her lie because her actions were meticulous and thorough enough.

You Lian recalled the way Lu Yuan looked when they first met, and a cold expression appeared on her face.

He's just a disgusting man anyway.

She was completely focused on thinking about things.

She had no idea that a man was gradually approaching and sitting down next to her.

"Are you thinking about how to kill me?"

You Lian was startled by the sudden sound.

When she noticed that the visitor was Lu Yuan, she quickly regained her composure.

He's just a dead man.

"How is that possible?" You Lian quietly wrote on the cardboard.

"When dealing with someone who likes to lie, you have to listen to the opposite of what they say."

Lu Yuan chuckled, stretched out his hand, and leaned against the big tree.

He appeared lazy in his behavior, but his words were full of presumption.

"That's quite a contradiction, Ms. You Lian."

Why do you say that?

"A woman who gives the impression of being promiscuous, didn't choose to use her body as a bargaining chip?"

Lu Yuan's words clearly refer to the act of using aphrodisiacs as perfume.

But You Lian replied with:

"Physical exchange is an exchange of equivalent resources, while emotional exchange is an exchange of resources with a premium."

"Truly upright and honest."

"I am only honest with the dead."

You Lian simply stopped acting altogether, her eyes revealing a cold demeanor.

Lu Yuan didn't know why You Lian hated him so much.

Why target him like this?

"Why did you have to kill me instead of escaping from your mental hospital?"

"You're on my list."

"Oh, there's even a Death Note?" Lu Yuan shook his head, his smile growing wider.

Lu Yuan has died countless times; a lot of lice won't bite.

I wouldn't mind dying again.

He just wanted to find out the cause of his death.

"In this respect, he does indeed share some similarities with Light Yagami."

"Who is indiscriminately killing innocent people?"

You Lian glanced at him coldly and whispered, "When we first met, you fiddled with your genitals in front of me."

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

What the hell is this thing doing to my genitals?

He only glanced at You Lian's chest a few times; when did he start fiddling with it?

"Purely filthy..."

Lu Yuan was about to say that You Lian was slandering him when he suddenly remembered the day he was first admitted to the hospital.

While chatting with the guy who was using his underwear as a paraglider, he did scratch his underwear because it didn't fit properly...

Some misunderstandings arise from this...

"So I became your stepping stone to escape the mental hospital?"

"You deserve to die anyway."

You Lian made a decisive judgment.

She had made up her mind not to listen to Lu Yuan's explanation anymore, because she could guess without even thinking that Lu Yuan would give a weak and unconvincing explanation next.

For example: I just felt the underwear size was a bit small...

But Lu Yuan didn't say that.

He said, "Okay, I admit I'm a womanizer, but you're not much better."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Using aphrodisiacs as perfume, isn't it just a way to attract men's attention in exchange for resources? Just like that personal shopper."

"I never asked the reseller for a single penny. This was just a means for me to completely ruin Dr. Liu later, to let everyone know that the aphrodisiac came from Dr. Liu..."

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, watching You Lian's emotional fluctuations.

He even claims he doesn't have a mental illness. How could a normal person have such an extreme mentality?

No one gets admitted to this mental hospital for nothing.

You Lian's ideas are clearly very extreme, as can be seen from the incident involving Dr. Liu.

Her intentions were not simply to escape the mental hospital; she wanted to completely destroy him, his career, and his life.

This kind of extreme mentality is clearly unhealthy.

But Lu Yuan didn't rush to conclusions, because everything has a cause and an effect.

"Dr. Liu, what's wrong with you?"

"From the first day of my admission, he secretly installed a private camera in my ward. I discovered it immediately and took the opportunity to search the rooms of many female patients and found surveillance cameras in all of them. I also found out that he had molested patients who were not in a good mental state under the guise of treatment."

"Isn't this enough to destroy him?"

"That's not enough. I want him to stay inside forever, never to come out."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded to indicate that he understood.

There was no evaluation of this behavior.

He had no intention of interfering in other people's affairs.

"So the things you did outside were also related to men?"

"I stabbed a man who tried to rape me."

"Isn't this legitimate self-defense?"

"The definition is unclear because no incident actually occurred and there is no surveillance footage, and the other party has paid for a very famous legal team."

"So you're mixing truth and falsehood; you do have post-traumatic stress disorder, but you weren't raped?"

"I witnessed my sister being raped by my adoptive father."

"And your sister..."

"He committed suicide."

Throughout the entire process, Lu Yuan relied on You Lian's emotional fluctuations to determine whether she was lying.

Because people who habitually lie know this.

It is very difficult for a person to balance intense emotional fluctuations with organizing a logically rigorous and complete script.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few veteran actors with excellent acting skills.

You Lian was indeed not lying.

Because in her eyes, Lu Yuan was clearly already a dead man at this moment.

If he can't get out, she'll find a way to kill him here sooner or later.

No matter how much Lu Yuan claims he's not a scheming, despicable man.

She wouldn't believe Lu Yuan's explanation either.

Until Lu Yuan's words reached her ears.

What if I really do like you?

"Liking something is just playing with it..."

"It's a physiological attraction, I guess. I had a physical reaction after seeing it. The underwear was too small and uncomfortable, so I adjusted it..."

Lu Yuan lied without hesitation.

They're just lying.

If you're about to lose your life, what's wrong with telling a couple of lies?

He didn't explain that it was a misunderstanding, because even if he did, You Lian wouldn't believe him.

So let's just use a more honest lie instead.

"If this is what you call liking someone, then there are way too many people who like me."

You Lian remained silent, leaning against the big tree and sneering.

All this talk about physiological attraction is a lie.

"Do you even know what 'like' means?"

"Liking someone is all lies, sweet talk to get close, pretending to like my soul, but once I'm rejected, I immediately reveal my true colors."

"Liking you means I want you to be happy."

"The thing that makes me happiest is not being looked at with lecherous eyes."

"Okay." Lu Yuan nodded decisively and said, "You should express what you dislike sincerely. People who like you will definitely do it."

"It's all an act. They couldn't wait a few days before revealing their true colors."

"Then let's wait and see."

Lu Yuan chuckled, a very casual smile:

"I understand your lies and distrust; it's just a survival tactic."

"I don't need your understanding."

"I don't need your understanding; I'm just reminding you."

Under the ginkgo tree.

Lu Yuan suddenly straightened up, pointed to her cardboard, and quietly wrote a line on it:

"The greatest punishment for a liar is not that no one will believe her anymore, but that she will never believe anyone again."

"What do you mean?"

"Others are a mirror; the others you see are a reflection of yourself. When you yourself are a habitual liar, others will naturally appear to you as well."

You Lian was stunned.

She still refused to believe what Lu Yuan was saying.

But what Lu Yuan wrote on the cardboard clearly touched her heart.

For a moment, she was in a daze and didn't know what to say.

Because she didn't know how to complain about the long distance.

He frankly admitted his feelings of affection, and even admitted that he had a physical reaction to her.

He didn't try to get close to her with sweet words or vows of eternal love...

While she was in a daze...

Lu Yuan didn't say a word, but instead picked up the small notebook he had just vaguely seen.

Opening the first page, one is immediately struck by the words "Street Survival Rules".

"The first rule is to kill all men who have ill intentions."

The second rule: Kill all men who lie.

Lu Yuan read those two lines aloud in a low voice.

When people hear their little secrets being read aloud, their first reaction is always embarrassment.

You Lian seized the opportunity to snatch the notebook.

But Lu Yuan didn't give it to her.

Instead, he picked up a pen and wrote something else below.

"Street Survival Rule #3: Brush your teeth before bed to protect your dental health, because toothaches are extremely painful."

The fourth rule of street survival: When you're in a bad mood, you can eat some sugary foods, but remember to brush your teeth before bed to take care of your dental health, because toothaches are extremely painful.

The fifth rule for street survival: Remember to air out your blankets when the sun is shining. Even after airing out your blankets, remember to brush your teeth before bed to take care of your dental health, because toothaches are extremely painful.

The sixth rule of street survival: It's okay to engage in occasional "takeoff" (underlined) mining activities, and regularly regulate your physical and mental health. Don't panic if you overdo it; just brush your teeth before bed. Excessive self-indulgence can make you feel undisciplined, while daily brushing helps with psychological adjustment, reminding you that you are still a disciplined person.

Lu Yuan wrote a long, detailed piece of writing, then returned the notebook to You Lian.

He said, "Perhaps the first two are the meaning of your life, or they bring you great pleasure. In any case, it's your own business."

But try the following suggestions, because what sustains life is not the grand narrative of "slaying all the sleazy men in the world," but the happiness found in the ordinary moments of life.

Lu Yuan smiled, his expression sincere.

Since some things are ultimately irreconcilable.

Then just treat it like a scammer is scamming you.

If you win the scam, you live; if you lose, you die.
