"I'm exhausted. Why does this trashy script require me to act all cute and whiny? Can't they get an actually talented male lead? It's always the same effeminate guys coming and going. They might as well just put on a little skirt and dance in a music video." Inside the hotel room, Alice looked at the script that was a full size larger than her face, tossed it aside, and sprawled out flat on the floor.
Standing to the side like a towering pagoda, Bobo spoke up, "Do you want me to turn it down?"
"Forget it, I still have my professional ethics." Although Alice loved to complain, she began to memorize her lines. Not only was she cute on the outside, but her work ethic was also incredibly professional.
Alice rolled around on the bed while holding the script and reading it carefully. It wasn't until she heard her phone ring that she reached out to grab it.
However, the girl's arm was just a bit too short. Alice stubbornly stretched her body but refused to actually get up and move closer.
It was very much that feeling of being in bed and wanting something that could easily be reached by sitting up, yet still choosing to strain your arm from a lying position.
In the end, Bobo handed the phone over to her.
"Hmm... oh?" Seeing a rather rare profile picture, Alice raised an eyebrow. Propping her small face up with one hand, she used the other to open the message.
Ye Shuang: Alice, do you have time right now?
Ye Shuang?
That was truly rare. No, to be exact, Alice had never seen Ye Shuang initiate a conversation with her before.
Alice lay on her stomach on the blanket, kicking her white-socked legs. A second later, she replied.
Alice: I am very busy, you know, but I suppose I can reluctantly spare a little time to answer your questions.
Ye Shuang: Typing...
Ye Shuang: Have you been busy with work lately?
Alice paused for a moment. Why would a guy like Ye Shuang care if she was busy or not?
She thought about it. Could it be that he was captivated by her charm?
Ye Shuang: Are you free to come out and hang out?
Alice shot up, striking a pose like the Sphinx. "I knew it!"
Bobo, standing nearby: ?
"My, my, I am quite busy, you know." Alice revealed a smug expression. "The line of people wanting to ask me out stretches all the way from here to another world."
Although Alice said that, she still sent a reply back.
Alice: What is it? I will consider it at my discretion.
Ye Shuang: I want to see Bobo.
Alice: ...
Bobo?
She subconsciously glanced at Bobo beside her, who was currently standing there casting an inquiring look.
Why would Ye Shuang be looking for Bobo out of nowhere?
Alice thought about it. That probably wasn't what he meant, right? If he wanted to find Bobo, why not ask Bobo directly? Why look for her?
Could it be that this bobo...
Alice subconsciously looked down at her own chest, her eyes widening instantly. "?!"
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Ye Shuang also received a message from Alice.
Alice: You animal!
Ye Shuang looked at the word and couldn't help but freeze for a moment. Did she make a typo? Why would she curse at me out of the blue?
Ye Shuang had no choice but to reply with a head-scratching emoji.
Alice: You pervert, you creep! You're even interested in something so small!
Ye Shuang: Huh?!
Ye Shuang: I just meant that I wanted to see your bodyguard, Bobo.
On the other end of the chat box, things went eerily quiet.
A few seconds passed before Alice sent another message.
Alice: That was Bobo chatting with you just now. It absolutely wasn't me.
Ye Shuang: ...
Alice: What do you need Bobo for? Why did you come ask me if I had time?
Ye Shuang: I wasn't precise enough. What I meant is that I want to see both of you. Do you want to come over and hang out sometime?
Alice: Hmph, no time.
After saying that, Alice stopped replying altogether.
Ye Shuang looked at the messages, stunned for a few seconds. Did he say something wrong just now?
Were kids this age just a bit harder to communicate with?
Helpless, seeing that Alice wasn't replying, Ye Shuang could only set the chat window aside for now and casually browse his WeChat Moments while waiting for her to respond.
Ye Shuang's Moments feed was very clean. Aside from a few former subordinates, the rest of the people on his list were basically classmates.
And most of them were added during graduation season, belonging to the type of contacts he almost never chatted with.
At Ye Shuang's current age, his Moments feed was uniformly filled with people getting married, getting their marriage certificates, or even having kids.
After browsing for a while, he accidentally came across a post by Taozi.
It was a selfie. Taozi was cheerfully holding a white plastic bag filled with bottles and cans, and standing next to her was a tall girl who was also excitedly giving a thumbs up.
Obviously, both of them had collected quite a few bottles.
The caption read:
[Picking up bottles with a foreign classmate, very happy.]
Seeing the familiar-looking girl, Ye Shuang couldn't help but feel a bit surprised that Taozi had actually built a good relationship with her.
What was this girl's name again...
I'm Fishy?
No, that's not right...
Ye Shuang suddenly realized he couldn't remember her name. After all, he hadn't made a special effort to memorize it back then, and it had been several years. It was actually perfectly normal for him not to remember.
His finger then continued to scroll down.
He found another post, this one from Chen Qin.
Chen Qin had posted a photo taken at her office desk. On it sat a chibi figurine, and Ye Shuang noticed that its appearance was somewhat similar to his own. No, to be precise, it looked almost exactly like him.
The caption read:
[Today is another beautiful day.]
It looked quite fresh and sweet.
After giving Chen Qin's post a like, Ye Shuang scrolled down a bit more and found a photo posted by Bai Yuyou.
The photo was very simple; it was just a picture of her and Tang Keke sitting together on the sofa, not forgetting to flash a peace sign.
However, one look at the caption and it was obvious Tang Keke had written it:
[Sob sob sob sob sob sob]
Looking at the slimes that took up a quarter of the photo, Ye Shuang couldn't help but avert his gaze. Was this girl Keke getting more and more confident about her figure?
But thinking about it carefully, Yuyou's close friends were basically girls like Keke, Taozi, An Shiyu, Zhixia, and Linlin, so Keke had nothing to worry about?
Still, having confidence was a good thing. It was much better than having low self-esteem.
Ye Shuang kept scrolling. As for what was left, it was a post made yesterday by An Shiyu.
The content was a bit perplexing: four legs in pantyhose, stretched out straight.
Ye Shuang: ...
Posting pantyhose legs on Moments?
What did that mean?
There wasn't even a caption.
Ye Shuang finally exited Moments. He glanced at his message list; Alice still hadn't replied. Although Ye Shuang had no idea why she had such a huge reaction just now, she was probably busy at the moment.
Probably.

Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
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?

The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
