Ten minutes earlier—
"Next up is Faculty Group 2 for the 200-meter dash!"
On the spectator stands, Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou had already changed into dry clothes and were sitting together. "Yuyou, Yuyou, Brother is about to race," Tang Keke said.
"Mm."
"Why is the school director there too? And why is he wearing... that?" Tang Keke scratched her head at the sight of the eye-catching pink outfit. She had always thought the old director had eccentric tastes, but this was something else.
What even was that pattern?
"Keke."
"Hm?"
"I'm hungry," Bai Yuyou suddenly said, rubbing her flat stomach. Maybe it was because of today's physical activity, but she felt hungrier than usual.
"Hungry?" Tang Keke reached over and patted Bai Yuyou's belly. "Sometimes I feel like your stomach is a bottomless pit from another dimension."
"But how do you never gain weight?"
"Ye Shuang said I might have poor nutrient absorption," Bai Yuyou replied.
"Really?" Tang Keke tilted her head in thought before suddenly clapping her hands together. "Oh! How about we throw a party after the sports festival?"
"Party."
"Yeah, yeah! Brother would definitely agree. One with tons of delicious food, just like that villa last time."
"Delicious food..." Bai Yuyou murmured, then paused as if noticing something. She glanced upward.
"Right, as long as it's not Sister Chen Qin's cooking, anything works," Tang Keke added.
"Mm. Yuyou, why are you spacing out?"
"Sister Chen Qin..."
"Sister Chen Qin?" Tang Keke followed Bai Yuyou's gaze and looked up—only for her plump cheeks to be pinched by a slender, pale hand. Blinking, she found herself face-to-face with a smiling woman leaning down toward her.
"Keke, talking behind someone's back is what naughty children do," Chen Qin said sweetly.
Tang Keke: "?!"
Why does Sister Chen Qin always appear whenever I criticize her cooking?!
"Mmph, Sister Chen Qin... let me explain—I mean, defend myself!"
"Naughty children don't get explanations," Chen Qin said mercilessly, grinding her fists against Tang Keke's head.
"I'm sorry! I surrender!"
After some playful roughhousing, Chen Qin plopped into a seat nearby. Bai Yuyou spoke up softly, "Sister Chen Qin... your injury."
"Pfft, no big deal," Chen Qin waved it off optimistically. It wasn’t fully healed, but it was manageable. Even if it hurt, the company’s private doctor could always administer painkillers.
"Ugh, I feel like my soul’s leaving my body," Tang Keke groaned, clutching her head as if she were about to faint. Still, she couldn’t help but wonder, "Sister Chen Qin, you actually have free time today?"
"I’m not a workaholic 24/7, you know," Chen Qin replied, then turned her attention to Ye Shuang on the track. "Hm? Why does A-Shuang look so lifeless?"
"Brother said he’s just here to fill a spot," Tang Keke chimed in, with Bai Yuyou nodding in agreement.
"That won’t do," Chen Qin crossed her legs. "I rushed here from the office just for this. He can’t half-effort it." A mischievous glint flashed in her eyes. "Hmm, seems like he needs a little... encouragement."
"Encouragement?"
"Exactly."
"But it’s so far away. How are you gonna get your voice across?" Tang Keke asked.
Chen Qin waggled a slender finger. "Encouragement doesn’t always need words. Sometimes, it’s visual."
"Visual? Is Brother gonna check his phone while running?"
"Heh." Chen Qin smirked mysteriously and snapped her fingers—"Ta-da!"
The next moment, a swarm of drones rose from the field, swirling into formation before spelling out four giant characters in the sky:
"Go A-Shuang ❤"
Chen Qin pointed proudly at her aerial masterpiece. "A drone show, courtesy of moi."
"The power of money!" Tang Keke squinted at the dazzling display. "Ugh, you rich people are the worst."
Chen Qin admired her handiwork, then glanced at Ye Shuang, who stood frozen like a statue on the track.
"Bet A-Shuang’s thrilled, huh?"
Tang Keke squinted. "More like he looks like he just ate something... questionable."
Bonk. A light smack from Chen Qin.
...
Bang! The starting pistol fired, and the crowd erupted as the runners took off.
"Go, A-Shuang!" Chen Qin cheered.
But Ye Shuang’s pace was sluggish—even the slightly chubby teacher ahead of him was pulling away. Eventually, Ye Shuang overtook one runner but still couldn’t pick up speed.
"Brother, you can do it!!"
"Ye Shuang, jiāyóu," Bai Yuyou added softly, her voice drowned out by the noise.
Ye Shuang’s strides grew slower, as if he’d lost all motivation.
He was running out of steam.
No.
Bai Yuyou suddenly remembered—no matter what she did, Ye Shuang always cheered her on.
Ye Shuang... needed encouragement too.
Haaah... The girl took a deep breath, then shouted at the top of her lungs:
"YE SHUANG, JIĀYÓU—!!"
The sheer volume made Tang Keke and Chen Qin whip their heads around in shock. They’d never heard Bai Yuyou be this loud—it was like witnessing a rare phenomenon.
"A-Shuang, jiāyóu!!!" Chen Qin joined in, matching her intensity.
"Not that it matters," Tang Keke muttered. "Brother can’t hear us from here anyway."
But the next second, her jaw dropped.
Ye Shuang suddenly surged forward like a man possessed, overtaking two runners in seconds and closing in on the school director!
"Holy—?!" Tang Keke gasped. "Is this the power of love?!"
Just like that, Ye Shuang blew past Anshi Yilang!
"He’s in the lead!"
"Final stretch!!"
"Eh?" But as Ye Shuang neared the finish line, his steps faltered for a split second—allowing Anshi Yilang to sprint past him and cross first.
"Oh?!"
"And the winner is... our beloved school director!" the announcer declared.
The stands burst into applause.
"Uh..." Tang Keke scratched her head. "Why did Brother suddenly hesitate?"
"Just being socially savvy," Chen Qin chuckled. "No worries. Seeing A-Shuang so energetic means he’ll have no trouble making babies later~"
At that, Bai Yuyou spoke up: "I want to have babies with Ye Shuang."
Chen Qin stiffened, her gaze snapping to the girl.
The atmosphere instantly turned... complicated.
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
