    ⭐️After reading these chapters, my face turned solemn. I lowered my head deeply, silently turned off my phone, got up, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of 1982 Nongfu Spring water (a rare vintage), held it tightly in my hand, and slowly walked to the window. The scenery outside was somewhat gloomy, just like my mood—heavy, very heavy. Gradually, a light rain began to fall from the gray sky outside. Why? My vision blurred. I didn't know if it was because I was crying or because the rain was getting heavier; maybe both. My mood became even more melancholy. I could no longer suppress my emotions. I opened the window and shouted loudly at the outside: "Just two more chapters? Who do you think you are, ma'am? My monthly living expenses are 1500. I'm willing to give you 1314. The remaining 185 is my height, and the 8-pack is my abs. Don't ask why 7 is missing; it's because my love for you has been sentenced to seven years of life imprisonment."
