Early morning.
Feeling the occasional prickling in his eyes, Ye Shuang slowly opened them—noticing the sunlight spilling in from outside the hotel window. He twitched his fingers slightly, turned over a bit, and was greeted by a face full of soft cleavage.
Moving away from the warm softness on his face, Ye Shuang pulled back his gaze. After sitting up, he noticed that Chen Qin was still fast asleep. A few strands of hair clung to her cheeks, giving her an indescribable cuteness.
Ye Shuang originally wanted to get out of bed, but noticed that Chen Qin's fingers were tightly gripping his pajamas.
Noticing this, Ye Shuang watched for a few seconds, then reached out and gently placed his hand on the back of hers. After a few seconds, Chen Qin's fingers slowly loosened.
At this moment, Chen Qin seemed to sense something. Her beautiful eyes slowly opened, and upon seeing Ye Shuang, they narrowed into crescent moons. Even her voice carried a hint of laziness,
"Ye... good morning."
"Sleep a little longer?" Ye Shuang said.
"No more sleep." Chen Qin reached out her arms coquettishly. "Ye, carry me up, I don't have any strength left."
"You seemed to have plenty of strength last night," Ye Shuang said as he picked Chen Qin up. The girl rested her chin on Ye Shuang's shoulder, her delicate arms wrapping around his neck.
"I'm so sore."
"Let's wash up, we'll go down to have breakfast."
"Give me a kiss."
"We haven't brushed our teeth yet."
After dawdling for a while, the two finally washed up, got dressed, and went down to the first floor for breakfast. Although room service was available, Ye Shuang and Chen Qin felt it was better to come down and take a look themselves.
"Two pork chop buns, two egg tarts, and two lattes, please. Thanks," Chen Qin said to the waiter after sitting down.
"Right away."
Chen Qin then placed her laptop on the table and began handling her piled-up work. Perhaps some people brought a laptop to a cafe specifically to enjoy a so-called bourgeois lifestyle, but for Chen Qin, she just hoped to have more time to rest, so she wouldn't have to carry a laptop around everywhere or have her assistant do it.
Chen Qin put on a pair of blue-light-blocking gold-rimmed glasses. Her slightly curly hair fell over the temples of the glasses, adding a touch of maturity to her aura. Her fingers gently tapped the keyboard; quietly working like this, she looked much more like the CEO she was.
Ye Shuang didn't make a sound to interrupt Chen Qin's work. Instead, he took out his phone and started reading an electronic medical book.
Although neither of them spoke, they tacitly did their own things. This atmosphere was very comfortable. There was no need to deliberately chat to liven things up, because for their years of relationship, it simply wasn't necessary.
For newly met friends or long-unseen acquaintances, blindly making awkward small talk to find topics wasn't a sign of a good relationship. True friends could casually start a topic about anything, and even if one disappeared halfway and didn't reply, no one would feel uncomfortable.
In their youth, Ye Shuang and Chen Qin could also stay in a room, each reading manga for an entire afternoon without saying a word, and it wouldn't affect their relationship in the slightest.
"Hah, I have to go on a business trip again." After a while, Chen Qin suddenly took off her glasses, stretched her arms, and let out a sigh.
"With great power comes great responsibility," Ye Shuang joked with a smile from the side. Hearing this, Chen Qin pouted. "Ye, you be the boss."
"My working ability isn't as impressive as yours."
"Hmph, I don't believe it." Chen Qin smiled sweetly, resting her cheek on Ye Shuang's arm. "When I get pregnant with a baby, I'll let you charge into the front lines."
"Alright," Ye Shuang smiled.
After breakfast, Chen Qin stayed in the restaurant until it was almost lunchtime before the two checked out and left the hotel.
"Thanks." By this time, the bellboy had already driven the car out. After taking the keys, Ye Shuang asked Chen Qin beside him, "Shall I drop you back at the company first?"
"What about you, Ye?"
"I..."
"You want to spend more time with Yuyou, right?" Chen Qin smiled.
"Yeah," Ye Shuang nodded honestly.
"Let's go then. You don't have to be so hesitant when talking to me," Chen Qin swayed her body and gave a sweet smile. "I still prefer it when you speak your mind directly."
Ye Shuang looked at Chen Qin, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to say anything.
...
After dropping Chen Qin off at the company, Ye Shuang first returned to his own office to briefly handle some work matters. Then, right before lunchtime, he drove to Yinshan Academy.
"What a busy life." In the parking lot, after squeezing his car between two others, Ye Shuang locked it and couldn't help but sigh.
Glancing at the time, he figured he probably wouldn't make it in time for lunch, so he decided to head back to the infirmary first.
"Hmm?"
Just as Ye Shuang arrived at the door of the school infirmary, he noticed a tall girl standing there, looking left and right like a thief, acting extremely stealthy.
That was...
Ducky.
Seeing An Shiyaya acting so sneakily, Ye Shuang originally wanted to walk over, but found that she directly pushed open the infirmary door, went inside, and closed the door behind her.
What was she doing?
Ye Shuang couldn't help but wonder as he quickly walked up to the infirmary door.
However, he didn't rush to push the door open. Instead, he took a few more steps forward to the infirmary window. Looking through the gap in the curtains, Ye Shuang peered inside—
At this moment, An Shiyaya was standing in front of the medicine cabinet, rummaging for something.
This girl... she couldn't be looking for some weird medicine, could she?
Realizing something was off, Ye Shuang walked back to the door and was about to turn the handle to go in, only to find it was locked from the inside.
Along with the sound of him turning the doorknob, the faint sound of messy footsteps came from inside the infirmary, as if the person inside was panicking.
Ye Shuang: "..."
Ye Shuang silently took out his keys and directly unlocked the infirmary door.
At this time, the infirmary was empty, with only an open window and fluttering curtains in the distance.
Did she jump out the window and slip away like An Shiyu?
Just as Ye Shuang was thinking this, he noticed a pair of shoes under the curtain by another window, as well as the slight slime-like curves outlined against the fabric.
Ye Shuang fell silent for a few seconds. This hiding method of yours, have you been watching too much anime?
Even hiding under the bed would be more reliable than this, right?
Ye Shuang deliberately gave a light cough. "Oh, so there's no one here. I thought there was a mouse inside. Well, I might as well go to the restroom then, mm-hmm."
Immediately following was the sound of the door closing.
After about ten seconds, there was finally some movement from the curtains. An Shiyaya walked out, patting her chest as if breathing a sigh of relief,
"Ah... I almost thought I was going to be discovered."
The next second, she noticed Ye Shuang sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly watching her.
An Shiyaya: OvO Eh...
"You're under arrest, student Ducky," Ye Shuang said seriously.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
