"Zi Mo, do you still recognize me?"

After running up to Su Zimo, who was conducting an interview by the roadside, Su Xuan quickly asked. If Su Zimo didn't recognize him, then the world he was in was quite intriguing indeed.

"Young man, please do not disturb our interview."

Before Su Zimo could respond, her assistant pulled Su Xuan aside.

But Su Zimo had already seen Su Xuan. She gave him a look of complete unfamiliarity, then waved her hand at her assistant and passed the microphone to him.

"Mister Courier," Su Zimo began, noting his uniform, "as a courier, are you happy?"

Su Xuan's eyes widened. It seems Su Zimo really doesn't recognize me!

"Happy? My ass!"

In no mood to talk, Su Xuan dropped the line and walked away. He decided he didn't want to travel with Zhang Tingting anymore. He would wander around and look for other old acquaintances, hoping to find a flaw in this world.

He refused to believe this world was real, even though it felt exceedingly so! This world had erased his past experiences, resetting everything to square one. His old friends, like Su Zimo, had become strangers, something he couldn't bear to see. He believed this world was a fabrication, that something was trying to trap him here!

"Su Xuan, where are you going?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Tingting blocked his path with the delivery tricycle. "You're acting a bit strange today. You're usually so low-key, so why did you suddenly approach them for an interview? And where are you off to now? Are you quitting your job?"

Su Xuan's eyes lit up at the mention of work, and he immediately climbed onto the tricycle. He *had* been a courier before, one with a System, no less. He wondered if he could find a flaw in this world through his job and escape this... this false reality!

"Hello, this is your delivery. Please check it."

Accompanied by Zhang Tingting, Su Xuan delivered several packages, but nothing unusual happened. Everything was completely normal.

「By the end of the workday,」

Feeling utterly helpless, Su Xuan finished his shift and returned to his small apartment. He no longer had the luxury mansion at No. 88 Houhai Street, just the same simple little place as before.

Zhang Tingting followed him faithfully.

"Su Xuan, you must be exhausted," Zhang Tingting said, bringing a basin of hot water over to him. Her voice was soft and gentle. "Let me wash your feet for you!"

Then, Zhang Tingting took off Su Xuan's shoes, held his feet, and placed them in the basin of hot water. She was so unbelievably doting and domestic.

This just made everything feel even more unreal! The Zhang Tingting he remembered was an extremely materialistic woman who saw herself as a princess. She only ever made demands; she would never offer to do something for you. And more importantly... I'm completely broke right now!

Su Xuan let Zhang Tingting wash his feet, rubbing his face in distress. This version of Zhang Tingting was what any man would dream of! With such a perfect partner, who wouldn't want to marry her? It was as if this world had taken all the imperfections of his old one and deliberately made them perfect!

"Oh, Su Xuan," Zhang Tingting said, suddenly looking up. "We're getting married tomorrow. My parents have already finished decorating the wedding apartment. It's on a loan, but you don't have to pay it off. Their pensions can cover the mortgage..."

Su Xuan's jaw dropped in astonishment. This was perfect, just too perfect. Zhang Tingting's family was even providing the apartment! He was practically a groom marrying into his bride's family!

"Su Xuan," Zhang Tingting continued, "my parents also said that since I'm their only daughter, as long as you treat me well, they'll transfer all their assets into your name. Actually, my mom is quite worried about you. She says you're too handsome and could easily be lured away by other women. Will you be lured away by other women?"

"Uh..."

Looking at this "virtuous" woman, who had once abandoned him for a life of luxury, he had no idea how to respond.

"Hehe!" Zhang Tingting smiled sweetly. "It's okay if you don't answer. I know the kind of person you are. I trust you. I believe we'll spend the rest of our lives together."

Su Xuan found it hard to breathe, sucking in a deep gasp of air.

Zhang Tingting suddenly said, "Su Xuan, my parents and my younger brother are coming over later. Should we start preparing a meal?"

"Sure, sure," Su Xuan replied helplessly. After Zhang Tingting finished drying his feet, he slipped on his shoes and headed for the door.

"Where are you going?" Zhang Tingting asked. "Don't you want to cook for my family?"

"I..." Su Xuan raised his hand. "I'm just going up to the rooftop for some air. This happiness is all a bit too sudden!"

"Are you nervous because my family is coming?" Zhang Tingting said. "Don't be. They aren't strangers. Besides, I think I'm already pregnant with your child... You were amazing that time!" She rubbed her belly.

Su Xuan fled in disarray.

Even with his strong mentality, Su Xuan couldn't help but curse under his breath once he reached the rooftop. Damn it! Zhang Tingting has turned into a good woman! And she might even be pregnant! Her family doesn't want a bride price; they're even providing the apartment! And tomorrow, we're supposed to get married! All of this... it's just too fake!

A cool breeze whistled across the rooftop. The city lights twinkled below like a sea of stars. Standing at the edge, Su Xuan felt an urge to jump. He wondered if jumping would be enough to escape this false world.

But a thought suddenly jolted him. What if this world is real? What if my old life—the one with the System, where I was a hundred-billionaire who knew all sorts of powerful people—was the fake one? What if that was all just a dream? And the world in the mountains... did I just imagine that, too? How could a world like that even exist? To jump or not to jump?

Su Xuan suddenly took out his phone and made a call.

"Dachun, I want to ask you something," Su Xuan said. "Listen..."

He was calling Lu Dachun, the manager of the courier station, hoping to find a safe way out of this world by asking if he'd been acting strangely lately. But he couldn't even finish his sentence.

"Su Xuan, you stop right there!" Lu Dachun's voice barked over the phone. "What did you just call me? Dachun? Are we that close? You think you can call me that? Don't you know I'm your boss? Or do you not want this job anymore?"

BEEP. BEEP.

Lu Dachun had ruthlessly hung up.

Well... that felt a little too damn real. Su Xuan helplessly put his phone away.

His body tilted, and he fell from the rooftop.

This was the most effective way to test this world's reality... and to escape it.
