Chapter 147
Click.
The bedroom door locked from the inside.
Ye Zhenzhen leaned against the door, breathing heavily as if she had just sprinted eight hundred meters.
The heat in her cheeks had not subsided; instead, fueled by the scenes replaying automatically in her mind, it burned all the way to the roots of her ears.
What kind of posture was that just now?
Ahhh, what a hooligan!
Ye Zhenzhen, you are really going crazy! How can you understand all of that!
The girl let out a muffled whimper, feeling as though she had been corrupted.
It was all Pei Susu's fault!
She dashed to the bed in a few steps and buried her head into the arms of the giant panda plushie.
The girl pressed her pretty face tightly into the panda's soft belly, her long, slender legs flailing wildly on the bedsheets.
It looked like she was venting, but in reality, she was trying to hide an unspeakable sense of shame.
A full five minutes passed.
The corpse on the bed finally moved.
Ye Zhenzhen, sporting a messy head of long hair, lifted herself from the panda's embrace.
Her usually cold, almond-shaped eyes were now shimmering with unshed tears, carrying a hint of charm and looking incredibly watery.
Scoundrel...
She bit her lip, trying to shift all the blame onto that dog next door, but the corners of her mouth seemed to have a mind of their own and simply would not stay down.
That weightless sensation of a racing heart, that tingling electric current during their physical contact...
It was practically toxic.
It made one both afraid and... craving for more.
The girl rolled over, lay on her stomach, and reached into the bottom drawer of her nightstand to pull out a pink notebook.
She opened the notebook.
In addition to the 48 things siblings must do, it was densely packed with details from their recent trip to Wuzhen.
Looking at the contents, a smile surfaced on her lips. She then added a line at the end, immediately crossed it out, and rewrote:
[No more roughhousing in the living room! (crossed out)... Remember to lock the door when roughhousing from now on.]
After writing this, Ye Zhenzhen looked at the ink on the paper, her cheeks flushing red again. She hurriedly closed the notebook and cast a guilty glance at the locked door, as if terrified someone might peek at her innermost thoughts.
Even though the girl's thoughts hardly needed peeking into...
Next, she grabbed her phone and skillfully dialed the number of her psychological counselor, Pei Susu.
Beep—beep—
The phone was answered after just two rings.
Oh? A rare guest! Why did you think of me at this hour, big sister?
Pei Susu's lazy and teasing voice came through the receiver, accompanied by the crisp crunch of potato chips.
Did you finally bear to drag yourself out of that tender wonderland? How was it, was Wuzhen fun? Or should I say... was the person more fun?
Pei Susu, can you be a bit more serious!
Ye Zhenzhen tried hard to keep a straight face, attempting to regain her usual aloof, unattainable aura.
I just called to ask if you have finished filling out your college applications. Gu Ran and I have both finished.
As for Wuzhen... it was just okay. That guy Gu Ran is so clumsy; I had to take care of him. It was exhausting.
Ooh—
Pei Susu dragged out the syllable, her tone full of mockery.
Exhausting? Were you tired from shopping, or... tired from some other kind of exercise?
Pei! Su! Su!
The already guilty girl completely lost her composure, flying into a humiliated rage.
I just said a few words, why are you getting angry?
Pei Susu giggled, Hurry up and tell your little sister what you have been doing these past few days.
Accustomed to her teasing manner, Ye Zhenzhen ignored her jabs and instead began talking about Wuzhen, her eyes sparkling.
After a long while, having listened to the girl's speech, Pei Susu curled her lips.
Wow, you really have fallen into a tender trap. Two out of every three sentences include the name Gu Ran. I am so jealous that someone gets to live in your heart like that.
Ye Zhenzhen froze, instinctively retorting.
Do not talk nonsense! I am his older sister, his temporary guardian! What is wrong with mentioning him?
Guardian?
Pei Susu sounded as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
What kind of guardian stays in a giant round couple's bed?
Ye Zhenzhen, you are done for. You are completely lovesick now, terminal stage, beyond saving. I suggest immediate cremation.
I... I am not!
Ye Zhenzhen snorted stubbornly, muttering softly, We didn't even get to sleep in the giant round bed...
Her fingers unconsciously twirled the panda plushie's round ear, kneading the furry appendage out of shape.
Alright, stop playing hard to get.
Pei Susu sighed, feeling like her precious cabbage had been thoroughly ruined by a pig.
Down to business, how did you two end up filling out your applications? Did you really stay in the province?
At the mention of this, Ye Zhenzhen's eyes softened.
Yes, Qinglin University. I am in the eight-year clinical medicine program, and he is in the economics and management experimental class.
Gu Ran... he applied to Qinglin too?
Y-yeah.
The guilty girl thought she was about to be mocked by her best friend, but the other end of the line fell into an eerie silence.
Three seconds later, a burst of hysterical laughter erupted.
Hahahahahaha! I am dying of laughter! I can not... save me!
Ye Zhenzhen held the phone a bit further away, looking completely baffled.
Are you okay? Are you okay? What is so funny about that?
No... hahahaha!
Pei Susu laughed until she was out of breath.
Do you know where that poor sucker Ye Jinliang... where he applied?
Ye Zhenzhen was even more confused.
Where?
N-nothing, I can not take it, Gu Ran is such a dog, Little Fatty is so pitiful.
Pei Susu seemed to be slapping her thigh, laughing uncontrollably.
Forget it, forget it. You two just enjoy flying together as a pair at Qinglin. I will let this caring big sister take care of Little Fatty.
Having laughed enough, Pei Susu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her tone then suddenly became serious as she began her lecture as the so-called love guru and armchair strategist.
Instantly activating her sage mode!
Come on, let us highlight the key points now. So, first question: you and your good little brother are going to college at Qinglin. What do you think is the biggest crisis?
Wh-what?
The girl pursed her lips, and the figure of Ye Shulian automatically popped into her mind.
If she found out that she and Gu Ran had a thing going on, would she not break his leg...
College is not high school.
Pei Susu cleared her throat, readily employing theories she had read in romance novels.
Also known as borrowism.
In high school, everyone still has to worry about underage dating, plus with Abbess Jiang keeping watch, those coquettish tramps did not dare to be too wild. But college is different; it is a total free-for-all!
Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen seemed to understand what she meant and could not help but furrow her pretty brows: And then?
And then? Big sis, do you have any idea how much lethal appeal Gu Ran has to those coquettish tramps? After the college entrance exams, the people asking for his contact number even came to me. Just think about it.
Then Pei Susu hit the nail on the head, He is handsome, has good grades, and the key is... that elegant scumbag vibe of his is the most attractive.
This kind of high-quality resource, once he enters college, he will be like a piece of prime meat, and top-tier at that! Do you really think you can defend the tower just by wearing the title of older sister?
Ye Zhenzhen's fingers paused slightly, and the panda's ear was pulled out of shape by her.
He... he would not.
The young girl muttered, her voice lacking confidence.
On the other end of the line, Pei Susu heard her mumbling and immediately let out a cold sneer.
"You... just get straight to the point!"
. 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!"
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.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
