Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

"Hey, Sister Qin, let me hear what's going on in your mind..."

He Yudong felt his heartbeat speed up, and a warm current rushed to his forehead. Mind reading! This is a magical skill that many men dream of! He stared at Qin Huairu's swaying back, and couldn't wait to try this new treasure.

"This idiot Zhu only knows how to show off his bravery. He deserves to be single for the rest of his life!"

"Humph, if it weren't for the fact that he's silly and can help the family, I wouldn't bother with him."

"Hey, when will this day end..."

A series of thoughts poured into He Yudong's mind without any hindrance, like a basin of cold water poured over his head, chilling him from head to toe. What Qin Huairu was thinking about was all this? There was not a trace of admiration, not even gratitude, only exploitation and calculation!

He Yudong stood there in a daze, his face burning as if he had been slapped hard. He had always thought that Qin Huairu liked him, but because of her status as a widow, she couldn't express it. He stood up for her, fought for her, and was even willing to give up everything for her, but in the end, this was the result?

"System, this mind-reading technique can't be wrong, right?" He Yudong asked unwillingly.

"Ding! The products of this system must be top-notch. The effect of mind reading is absolutely real and reliable. Please use it with confidence."

The system's answer completely shattered He Yudong's last fantasy. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh, but he didn't feel any pain.

"Okay, very good!" He Yudong gritted his teeth and said, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes, "Qin Huairu, do you really think I, He Yudong, am a fool? Since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being ungrateful!"

He turned around abruptly and walked out of the courtyard with big strides.

"Silly, where are you going?"

He heard He Yushui's voice calling from behind, but he turned a deaf ear to it and left this sad place without looking back.

As night falls, the courtyard gradually becomes quiet, and dim lights are turned on in every household.

He Yudong did not return to the courtyard, but hid alone in the warehouse of the steel rolling mill, looking through the system panel in his mind under the dim light.

"System, I want to learn fighting skills!"

"Ding! Consumed 100 system experience points and successfully learned basic fighting skills!"

In an instant, a stream of unfamiliar information flooded into He Yudong's mind, and various fighting techniques and moves flashed before his eyes. He felt that his body was full of strength, as if he had endless energy.

"Come again!"

"Ding! Consumed 200 system experience points and successfully learned intermediate combat skills!"

......

He Yudong eagerly learned the various skills provided by the system and practiced tirelessly. He wanted to become stronger, and he wanted to make those who had looked down on him and deceived him pay the price!

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three months, many things happened in the courtyard. The Jia family had a harder time without He Yudong's help. Qin Huairu tried to ask He Yudong for help several times, but was rejected by him. Xu Damao made a mistake in the factory and was demoted to an ordinary worker. He was depressed all day and no longer had the arrogance of the past.

At this time, He Yudong has been reborn and is now a completely different person. He is no longer the timid and bullied fool, but a man with sharp eyes and full of confidence.

On this day, He Yudong returned to the courtyard again.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, he saw Qin Huairu standing in the yard, looking around anxiously.

"Yudong, you're finally back!" Qin Huairu's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw He Yudong, and she hurried to greet him.

"Hey, isn't this Sister Qin? What do you want to talk to me about?" He Yudong looked at her with a smile, a hint of amusement in his tone.

Qin Huairu felt uneasy at the look in He Yudong's eyes, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Yudong, where have you been during this time? Why didn't you tell your family? Everyone is worried about you."

"Are you worried about me?" He Yudong sneered, "Sister Qin, stop pretending. I know what you are thinking better than anyone else!"

Qin Huairu's face changed, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She bit her lip and said pitifully: "Yudong, you...what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

"Don't understand?" He Yudong stepped closer, staring at Qin Huairu's eyes, "Then I'll make you listen carefully!"

He took a deep breath, opened his mouth slowly, and said something that shocked Qin Huairu...

He Yudong looked at Qin Huairu's back as she left, and a fire of evil ran straight from his lower abdomen to his forehead. He couldn't get rid of Qin Huairu's graceful back in his mind, especially when she turned around, the arc of her slender waist twisted, which made his heart burn, and he wanted to hold her in his arms and love her well.

"What are you thinking about, brat?" An old voice suddenly sounded in his mind, scaring He Yudong.

"Who? Who is talking?" He looked around vigilantly but didn't see any figure.

"Don't look for me, I'm in your mind." The voice seemed to carry a hint of smile.

He Yudong then realized that the voice came from the system he had just obtained. "System? Is that you?"

"It's me. Congratulations, kid, you're so lucky to be bound to me. From now on, you'll follow me and have the best food, drinks, women... Hehe, what kind of thing do you want?" The system's voice was full of temptation.

He Yudong's heart was filled with heat, and his breathing became faster. "Are you telling the truth? Then can I get Qin Huairu?"

"Qin Huairu? That widow? You have such a poor vision, kid! But as long as you complete the task well, I can get you eight or ten Qin Huairu, not to mention one!"

He Yudong was overwhelmed by the bright prospects described by the system. He rubbed his hands and asked impatiently, "What task? Tell me quickly! As long as I can get Qin Huairu, I will do anything!"

"Hehe, that's what you said. The first task is very simple, I'll let you have a taste of the sweetness first..."

Before the system finished speaking, He Yudong felt his eyes go dark. When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the courtyard, but in a dim room. There was only a shabby wooden bed and a table in the room. On the table was a dim candle, emitting a faint light.

"Where is this? System? Are you there?" He Yudong asked in a panic.

"Why are you panicking? I'm here. You are in your own room now." The system replied slowly.

"My house? This shabby place is my house?" He Yudong looked around in disbelief. He remembered that he lived in a spacious and bright house in a courtyard. How did he suddenly end up in this ghost place?

"Have you forgotten? You have been reborn. Now it is 1962, and you are still a poor bachelor!"

1962? Rebirth? He Yudong was stunned. Did he go back to the past?

"That's right, you are now back in 1962, and your memories of your past life have been awakened. How about it? Doesn't it feel exciting?" The system's voice was full of teasing.

Before He Yudong could react, he heard a hurried knock on the door, followed by a sharp female voice: "He Yudong! You lazy bastard! The sun is shining on your butt and you still don't get up! Get to work! If you're late again, your salary will be deducted!"

This voice... is Jia Zhangshi! He Yudong suddenly remembered that he seemed to be a neighbor of the Jia family in this era, and Jia Dongxu was not dead yet, and Qin Huairu had not become a widow yet...

He took a deep breath, and a bold idea formed in his mind. Since God had given him a new life and a system, why didn't he use this opportunity to change his miserable fate and pull Qin Huairu out of the fire pit of the Jia family?

Thinking of this, He Yudong's lips curled up into an evil smile.

"Jia Zhang, just wait, I will make you pay in this life!"

He Yudong watched Qin Huairu's back as she walked away, and his heart was itching like a cat's claw. Mind reading! This can be used to spy on other people's little secrets, especially women's little thoughts, hehehe...

He rubbed his hands and impatiently activated his mind-reading technique, targeting Qin Huairu. An invisible force was emitted like a radar, trying to capture Qin Huairu's inner thoughts.

However, the feedback came back was blank, nothing!

"Huh? What's going on? Is this mind-reading technology a counterfeit product?" He Yudong scratched his head in confusion. He tried a few more times without giving up, but still got nothing.

"Is it because the distance is too far?" He looked unwillingly at Qin Huairu's back as she disappeared at the entrance of the alley, secretly thinking that he would try again next time he had the chance.

"Ding! Host, please note that mind reading has certain usage conditions and limitations. First, the target object must be within ten meters of the host; second, the target object's emotional fluctuations must be strong enough to be captured by the host." The system's voice sounded at the right time, answering questions for the curious baby He Yudong.

"Damn! Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me happy for nothing!" He Yudong couldn't help but complain.

"Ding! This is the first time the host has used a system skill. The system is obliged to provide detailed explanations, but the host did not give the system a chance to explain." The system's cold mechanical voice responded emotionlessly.

"You..." He Yudong was furious. This crappy system really holds a grudge!

"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to bother with you." He Yudong waved his hand and decided to go back and study the system first. After all, this was his biggest reliance for a comeback.

After returning home, He Yudong locked the door and couldn't wait to open the system panel.

The system panel is simple and clear. Apart from personal information, skill bar, task bar and backpack bar, there is nothing else fancy.

He Yudong first clicked on his personal information, which displayed his various attributes:
