It was the weekend again.
"Today's lovely weather, and it's the weekend too." Ye Shuang shook out the clothes he was about to hang up to dry. After finishing, his gaze fell on the remaining laundry in the bucket.
He bent down and picked it up—a pair of pure white panties.
[Item: Pure White Panties
Freshly spun, still carrying the scent of laundry detergent. Usable.]
He had reminded that girl to wash her undergarments separately, yet she’d tossed them into the washing machine with everything else.
"There’s a hole." Ye Shuang noticed the small tear, about the size of a fingertip. Come to think of it, Bai Yuyou probably never bought herself new underwear, did she?
Though the panties were plain white, they were still clean and well-washed.
Perfect. This weekend, he’d take Bai Yuyou shopping for new underwear.
Just then, he felt a tug on his sleeve. Turning, he found Bai Yuyou standing beside him, her face expressionless as she stared at him.
"What’s up?" Ye Shuang started, then froze—he’d been standing there holding her panties like some kind of pervert.
Silently, he hung them up and feigned nonchalance. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
He hoped to brush it off.
"Ye Shuang."
"Hm?"
"Do you like my panties?"
"Cough—" Ye Shuang choked, then sighed and apologized. "I zoned out for a second. Sorry."
Bai Yuyou shook her head lightly, then lifted her nightdress slightly. "Do you want to see more?"
"Here."
"No need." Ye Shuang felt like he’d been misunderstood, but those legs… The waistband was indeed stark white, almost blindingly pale. The guilt weighed heavier on him.
To change the subject, he asked, "Yuyou, how about I take you underwear shopping today?"
"Okay," Bai Yuyou agreed.
Ye Shuang suddenly thought of something. "Should we invite Keke?"
Bai Yuyou immediately shook her head.
This weekend, she wanted to be alone with Ye Shuang. If Keke came, his attention would be divided.
"Alright." Ye Shuang had only asked casually.
After feeding the cat, Wan, some kibble and medicine, he took the girl out.
Their neighborhood was old, far from upscale, so parking was cheap—Ye Shuang’s car was parked right by the building entrance, just steps away.
As he started the engine, Bai Yuyou already sat in the passenger seat. Just as he shifted gears, his phone buzzed.
A glance showed a message from Chen Qin.
Chen Qin: Your girl’s back! Come pick me up at the airport!
Ye Shuang paused, then replied—
Ye Shuang: Weren’t you abroad?
Chen Qin: Made time to fly back. Leaving tonight. Can’t make your actual birthday, so I’m celebrating early. Happy?
Ye Shuang: You’re landing soon?
Chen Qin: Yep. Hurry to Jinwan Airport.
Ye Shuang stared at the message, then at Bai Yuyou beside him. After a moment of silence, he glanced at the back seat.
This was a two-door, two-seater sports car.
In other words, if he went to pick up Chen Qin, there’d be no room.
Option one: drop Bai Yuyou off at home and fetch Chen Qin.
Option two: ignore Chen Qin and keep shopping with Bai Yuyou—but she’d flown back just for him, even if only for half a day…
"Yuyou," Ye Shuang turned to her. She tilted her head slightly.
He shook his head. "Never mind."
Bai Yuyou seemed to sense his hesitation. "Ye Shuang, are you okay?"
"Fine. A mature adult doesn’t get tripped up by small things." He forced a smile and drove off.
...
"So, you rushed here just to borrow my car?"
Half an hour later, Chen Hai stepped out of a villa complex, looking baffled.
"Your sister asked me to pick her up," Ye Shuang explained.
"You have a car. That Toyota Supra’s sick—my wife won’t even let me buy a BMW Z4."
"Two seats." Ye Shuang gestured to Bai Yuyou.
Chen Hai sighed. "If you bring her along, Chen Qin will explode."
He added, "Why not leave her at my place? My wife’s making dumplings today."
Ye Shuang glanced at Bai Yuyou for her thoughts. Instead of speaking, she clutched his sleeve, head bowed like a scared little animal.
"Never mind," Ye Shuang said.
"Fine. But I need my car for a client meeting later. You can take this old one." Chen Hai patted the Mercedes beside him.
"Anything with more seats works." Ye Shuang knew Chen Hai had multiple cars—hence the trip.
With the borrowed car, he and Bai Yuyou headed to the airport.
But the drive was unusually quiet. Ye Shuang glanced over—Bai Yuyou sat motionless, eyes downcast, lost in thought.
Airport.
At the arrivals gate, Chen Qin emerged in a sleek black dress, sunglasses on, her lips painted a striking red that contrasted with her porcelain skin. A delicate rose-gold watch adorned her wrist, its gems glinting as she checked the time.
"Slowpoke. Should’ve texted earlier," she mused, smoothing her wavy hair. "Hmph. Did he stand me up?"
Don’t tell me I’m that unlucky.
"Excuse me, miss." A voice interrupted.
Chen Qin turned to see a handsome man smiling at her.
Politely, she asked, "Yes?"
"We shared the business class cabin. You’re stunning—mind exchanging contacts?"
"I’ve had these shades on the whole time. How’d you know I’m stunning?" Chen Qin smirked.
"Beauty isn’t just visual. Your aura alone is captivating."
"Flattery accepted, but no thanks." She waved dismissively.
"Wait—" The man grabbed her wrist.
Chen Qin’s brow arched, ready to slap him—until she spotted something from the corner of her eye.
A sly grin curled her lips as she feigned panic.
"Honey! Your wife’s getting harassed! Save me!"
Nearby, Ye Shuang halted mid-step, exasperated—but he quickened his pace anyway.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
