Su Qi froze for a moment, his brow slightly furrowed, a trace of confusion in his eyes. "Use my computer?"
Liu Yuan had already prepared her excuse before knocking. Now, her expression was perfectly natural as she pursed her lips lightly, her voice crisp and tinged with pleading. "I need to look up some materials for tomorrow. Using my phone is such a hassle..."
Including her next move, she had already rehearsed it all in her mind.
Su Qi clearly wasn’t thrilled. "Can’t you just go to an internet café tomorrow?"
Liu Yuan blinked, her tone carrying a hint of grievance. "I need it first thing in the morning. You can’t seriously expect me, a girl, to go to an internet café this late at night..."
Su Qi was speechless inside.
What the hell are you afraid of as a Cardholder?
If some idiot thug actually tried anything, they’d be the ones regretting it.
Of course, he’d never say that out loud.
Su Qi sighed, resignation creeping into his voice. "You absolutely have to use it today?"
"Pretty much..." Liu Yuan lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum. "If I don’t do it today, it’ll really affect my martial exam results."
That part was true.
After all, missing twenty-four hours of training time and 2 points in all attributes would definitely hurt her performance.
Su Qi stared at Liu Yuan for two seconds, feeling like something was off but unable to pinpoint what.
He stepped aside to let her into the room, his tone laced with resignation. "Fine."
Liu Yuan nodded and stepped inside, her footsteps light.
The soft tap-tap of her slippers against the floor echoed faintly. Her legs, wrapped in white stockings, stood out strikingly under the dim moonlight.
Su Qi’s gaze lingered for an instant before he guiltily looked away.
Wearing that to borrow a computer? Might as well be straight out of some adult plot...
Liu Yuan walked over to Su Qi’s desk.
Honestly, this was her first time entering his room.
She sat down at his computer desk, her movements slightly awkward.
Glancing around, she wore a faint look of confusion. "Su Qi, where’s the power button?"
"Top side of the tower." Su Qi pointed under the desk, impatience creeping into his tone. "Hurry up. I need to sleep."
Liu Yuan nodded, pressed the button, and the screen soon flickered to life.
Su Qi retreated to his bed, picking up his phone and pretending to fiddle with it.
Ah, my beloved little phone.
Beloved my ass.
His attention wasn’t on the phone at all.
He was stealing glances at Liu Yuan.
And no, this time it definitely wasn’t about the white stockings.
(Not that he was admitting to having looked before.)
Liu Yuan’s fingers flew across the keyboard, and soon the screen was filled with dense blocks of text and images.
Her expression was focused, brows slightly knitted, as if she were genuinely searching for something important.
Su Qi relaxed slightly.
At least she wasn’t the type to randomly click around.
He continued pretending to play with his phone while his gaze drifted back to her.
Her loose, soft pajamas swayed gently with her movements, revealing a sliver of pale neck.
Her hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders, carrying a lazy, carefree air.
Her profile, bathed in the screen’s glow, looked especially soft—long lashes, lips slightly pursed.
No, no. Little Iris is definitely cuter than this brat.
Su Qi shook off the stray thoughts.

Five minutes...
Ten minutes...
Time passed quickly.
So quickly that Su Qi almost forgot someone else was in the room, happily scrolling through videos. Ah, the little phone really is fun.
Then—
"Su Qi, let me use your cloud drive to download something."
[Pleasure +1]
[Pleasure +1]
[Pleasure +1]
At that moment, the sound of the video faded from Su Qi’s awareness.
His entire world narrowed to one sentence: "Su Qi, let me use your cloud drive to download something."
Let him put it this way: Three years ago, Su Qi had witnessed a man in his twenties get hit by a truck and sent flying seven or eight meters. His bones were shattered, but before passing out, he pulled out his phone.
Not to call an ambulance—but to factory reset it.
As the ancient poem goes: "Though my body may be broken, my honor shall remain untainted."
The same principle applied here.
One second, Su Qi was lying in bed, engrossed in his little phone.
The next, he was already behind Liu Yuan in the blink of an eye.
His phone even hung suspended in midair, still playing the video.
Su Qi didn’t care about propriety, about being alone with a girl. He grabbed Liu Yuan’s small, soft hand and swiftly closed the cloud drive login page, feigning nonchalance. "Download what? My account doesn’t have a premium membership. With a measly 50KB speed, you’d be waiting till tomorrow."
[‘Villain Su Qi’s heart rate spikes violently.]
[Daily Adventure Reward Granted: Temporary use of Special Passive ①, +2 permanent stats to all equipment.]
At this moment, the back of Liu Yuan’s head was pressed against Su Qi’s chest.
Even so, she could feel his heart pounding—thump, thump, thump.
Su Qi wasn’t just nervous—he was sweating bullets, buddy.
He didn’t even have the presence of mind to notice how small and soft her hand was.
Damn boundary-breaking brat!
Since when was a cloud drive something you just casually opened?!
[Pleasure +1]
If Liu Yuan saw files like "How to Discipline a Bratty Girl XXXX," "White-Stockinged Twin Lolis XXXX," or "The Invisible Little Sister,"
how could Su Qi ever show his face again?
Might as well hang himself in the living room.
"I’ll make you a new account. Use your own. New users get three days of free premium—faster downloads."
With her mission accomplished, Liu Yuan had no reason to linger. She slipped out of Su Qi’s encircling arms. "Never mind. I’ll just use my phone."
She closed the browser and stood up.
Su Qi nodded vigorously. "Even better. Get some rest."
Liu Yuan reached the door but paused, glancing back at him. "Su Qi, you should rest early too."
Su Qi replied absentmindedly, "Mm."
Liu Yuan stepped out and gently shut the door.
Walking through the living room, she exhaled deeply.
At least the task was done.
She pulled out her phone.
The browser was still open—to a site called "Bihu," rumored to be full of pretentious know-it-alls.
The title of the post: "How to Make a Guy’s Heart Race."
The answers were all over the place:
- Seduce him. Wear a JK skirt with white socks. If his heart doesn’t race, he’s into men. (Thumbs-up emoji.)
- Scare the crap out of him! Fear = racing heart.
- Make him run. Intense exercise guarantees a spike.
But these replies had only a handful of likes.
One answer, however, stood far above the rest with thousands of upvotes:
"Just tell him you want to see his E drive and cloud drive. Watch him explode."
This reply single-handedly ended the discussion.
The comments below were unanimous: "You absolute monster!"

e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
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)

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!
