At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

This made Su Che's mind go blank, and he regretted going to the appointment today.

I remember back then, I did say that if I lost, I would promise to apologize in person and listen to my father...

But we never thought we'd lose. Who could have guessed that Tianjin Tianhai actually had a perfect lineup?

If we have to say, all the punishment was caused by Ari and the others.

If it weren't for Ari, I wouldn't have been put in this situation by my father, and I wouldn't have had to perform a humiliating play in front of everyone and admit defeat.

Su Che's eyes were bloodshot as he looked to one side.

Of the people from "Hana-rei" today, only Miya came.

Miya sensed his anger and thought he was going to vent it all on her. She was so frightened that she flinched and cowered behind Ling Yao, crouching low and not daring to breathe loudly.

Seeing this, Master Lu smiled and said, "A partner under pressure is not a skill, Su Che. I'm sure you don't want to be looked down upon by women."

"..."

Su Che gritted his teeth and his face flushed red.

He wished he could tear his father to pieces in his heart, throw him into a fire pit and burn him for 365 days, while also adding some chlorpyrifos or paraquat.

What I thought was a standard, safe move to create distance turned out to be a trap, leaving me unable to move!

This was something Su Che hadn't expected.

Time seemed to slow down.

The phrase "a millisecond feels like a year" was so vivid and lifelike at this moment, etched into his five senses.

"I……"

"What?"

Master Lu was like a smiling tiger, devouring people without spitting out the bones as he looked at his own child.

Stubborn, aloof, popular with women, constantly struggling to make a living, but eventually giving up and diving headfirst into a world of women, a good son with good kidneys.

I really want to hear what he has to say next.

Because that would be quite interesting.

"I lost, didn't I—"

"Hey? Alright. Su Che, I didn't really mean for you to admit defeat, don't misunderstand. I just wanted to see if you would keep your promise. So now, let's get down to business?"

——40 amazing techniques: "Deceiving dignity".

The master craftsman has carefully selected this top-tier technique, which completely suppresses the opponent's psychology after PUA.

At this moment, Su Che stared wide-eyed at his father, his face filled with disbelief.

He hadn't realized that his father seemed to have been manipulating him from the very beginning, every word and every motive aimed at making him understand one thing—

It's pointless to throw a tantrum in front of your dad.

Inside the arena, all the women were in their rooms, barely daring to breathe loudly, each quietly observing the game unfolding on the field.

—A match with a 10-0 split.

For some reason, Su Che felt that his mind was beginning to break down.

Something looks like it's about to break.

His fists, as big as steamed buns, seemed to have hardened.

Suppress the impulse, purse your lips, and try to look down at an angle.

You can't beat up your dad in front of the cats.

I'll tolerate him for a few more seconds, unless he tries some other underhanded trick to take advantage of my youth and ignorance. At that point, I won't consider morality, law, or the laws of Tianhai. I'll fucking—

“Su Che, actually, I thought about a question when you were 3 years old.”

Suddenly, a calm voice replaced the previous playful tone.

Master Lu leaned forward slightly, changing from a reclining posture to one where he rested his elbows on his thighs and interlaced his fingers under his chin, and said solemnly:

"I'm wondering if you're someone who prefers 'freedom' or someone who likes to follow a set routine, have your life completely predetermined, and travel along a 'track' without any independent thought."

"Your mother thinks you are the latter."

"But I think you should follow my example and be the former."

"..."

Su Che's expression hardened. The impulse to do something just now transformed into a desire to continue listening to what he had to say.

Master Lu began to speak in a captivating and enchanting tone:

“We found your grandfather and sought his advice.”

Your grandfather believed that you should be given a certain amount of natural space to grow, and thus determined your "nature".

If you're suited for art, then let you pursue art; if you're suited for business, then let you go into business; if you only know how to slack off and don't like doing anything, then let you be a playboy; if you like women but don't want to find them yourself, then throw you into a pile of women and let you rot on their bellies in the end.

“The three of us made a bet—first, we'll let you follow the path for two years, then we'll let you fend for yourself for two years, and after that, we'll put women around you until you choose a woman who is truly right for you, which will take two years.”

"Only then will you realize that your childhood was already unbearable simply because Ise Nao was placed by your side—"

There is no room for personal growth when dealing with a woman like that;

After the "track" was removed, you spent two lonely years. During this time, you wanted to change, but we ended your change, separated Tang Tang and Lin Mianmian, and ensured that your loneliness could continue to manifest.

After that, you became an adult and could work part-time in various places to earn your own money. We began to observe and experiment on you, placing different girls around you. We thought you would choose the best one, and that some of them would like you and some wouldn't. But as it turned out—”

"All the girls seem to like you, and you're willing to take responsibility for them. You and they all need each other to be together. This directly leads to a tricky situation—"

"Son, the 'responsibility' and 'obligation' you want to prove will lock you in tightly."

Even without the intervention of the three of us elders, you are now deeply entangled in an emotional vortex from which you can no longer escape. Years later, you will look back and realize how precious that emptiness will have been.

"Because those were the only two years in your life when you grew the fastest and could do serious things without any distractions."

……

Chapter 306 Whispers of the Ancient Gods - Breaking the Demon Barrier - Overestimating One's Abilities

Su Che listened to his father's words, but he was still confused and unclear about what he was saying.

He roughly understood the meaning: his father probably felt that his identity since childhood was not ordinary, so it was necessary to conduct some "tests" to determine his personality in order to confirm his future life path.

However, just as her father had predicted, she clearly valued freedom more.

The free self can be forced to push itself forward under the erosion of loneliness, while the unfree self will, like now, collapse and die on the belly of the catwomen.

My father's judgment was not without merit.

But does that mean we can take "placement" and "control" for granted?

Can such a reason truly explain the original intention of free-range grazing?

"I don't know."

Su Che stood in front of Master Lu, shook his head, and questioned:

"When a man comes together with the woman he loves and they have a child, it is often regarded as the crystallization of their love."

But why can you and Mom treat me like cold-blooded animals, ignoring me completely? Is this your way of family? Or is it that I'm the only one like this, and my other siblings, who might exist, are not?

Now that the mask has been removed, Su Che decided to ask questions directly and no longer avoid them.

Seeing the child's obsession, Master Lu seemed to have expected it. His expression softened, and he shook his head meaningfully.

He only asked one question in return:

"Son, look back at what's behind you."

"?"

Su Che subconsciously turned his head.

Behind her were the silent An Qing, the blinking Yuan Xiao, the quiet Gu Zhi, the gossiping Xiao Xiao, the frowning Yu Xi, the aggrieved Miya, and the solemn Ling Yao.

"Do you think that when you have so many children, you will still be able to receive the same amount of love and care from your parents as an only child?"

Lu Shi rarely showed a look of helplessness, and added: "I admit that, as you said, I cannot give my children enough care. But now you have completed the first stage of your life, and your future is set. So if you are willing, I can provide you with everything you want in your musical career, that is my ability."

"And if you don't like music anymore and just want to be a playboy, that's fine too. I can send you to your grandfather's place and put you in charge of 'Black and White Hearts,' where there are endless maids of your choice. You can even become king if you want."

"Finally, if you get tired of playing around and want to start your own company, that's not a problem either. I can contact your mother and have her help you manage 'Lingyun,' or I can invest money so you can start whatever you like. Ultimately, it's all up to you."

With just three sentences, an olive branch fell from the sky.

Ideals, sexual needs, personal value.

Three perspectives, three paths.

What lies before Su Che is a "real future" that his father has thrown at him, a future that has been slammed into his face.

Like an evil god spreading black demonic wings, his father stretched out his scaly arms toward him, whispering seductive words and promising him enormous benefits.

It is obvious that he is 100% capable of fulfilling what he said and promised, and he has the ability to do so.

The true identities of Grandpa and Mom have been revealed.

Su Che finally understood what kind of family environment he was living in.

Previously, although he had guessed that his mother's company might be very wealthy and his grandfather's business might be quite large, he had never associated them with "Black and White Heart".

Now, through his father's words, he successfully deduced some things he had never thought of before, and also understood why Ise-nee disappeared without a trace back then—

[It turns out she's the head maid of "Black and White Hearts".]

She was assigned to his side to accompany him as he grew up; in other words, she was like his grandfather's eyes.

But sometimes the eyes don't cooperate.

Ise-nee has her own opinions; she is not a simple puppet.

This leads to the situation where uncontrollable feelings must be restrained by a strong external force, and separation becomes an inevitable outcome.

On the other hand, Mom cultivated the most flawless "resources" at "Lingyun".
