Chapter 29
"Pfft! In your dreams! I won't let you get your way!"
Seeing Gu Ran's excited expression, Ye Zhenzhen's cheeks flushed slightly, and she immediately spat out a retort.
Gu Ran: "???"
How did helping her wash her socks turn into him dreaming? Did this girl think he actually enjoyed washing her socks?
This was pure slander!
Where was his lawyer?!
"Then tell me, what should I wash for you?"
"Hmm... you can help me..."
Hearing his words, Ye Zhenzhen actually started to think about it.
She thought of a few things in a row, but on second thought, if Gu Ran could look so excited just washing a pair of socks, she definitely couldn't let this guy wash those other things.
While she was struggling to decide, she was suddenly startled and quickly snapped back to reality. A blush appeared on her pretty face, and a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in her cool eyes.
"Go away, who wants you to wash my clothes anyway!"
With that, she walked briskly ahead. Seeing this, Gu Ran hurriedly followed with a smile, "Won't you reconsider? I wash clothes very cleanly, and I can even use osmanthus-scented laundry detergent for you."
As soon as he said this, the young girl's expression became even more unnatural. She turned her head and glared at him with bashful annoyance before quickening her pace again.
The two of them were bantering back and forth. Just as they stepped into the teaching building, they heard an extremely pleasant voice.
"Student Gu, how did your studying go this weekend?"
The speaker was Li Sinan. She was still wearing a smart little suit, her legs wrapped in pantyhose that accentuated their shape, coupled with her naturally cascading long wavy hair, making her look exceptionally beautiful and refined.
"Oh, it's Teacher Li. You have no idea, over the two days of the weekend, I studied English for a day and a half. I feel like I benefited a lot!"
"Really? That's great. Student Gu, you have to study hard today too. If there's anything you don't understand, just come ask me."
Li Sinan responded with a smile. Infected by her smile, it felt as if the room had become much brighter.
"Then Teacher Li has to work hard today too."
The two greeted each other enthusiastically, like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.
Ye Zhenzhen, who was chatting happily just a moment ago, now looked like an outsider watching them talk. For a moment, she didn't know whether to keep walking on her own or stop and wait for Gu Ran.
Fortunately, the two didn't chat for long. After a few words, Li Sinan headed towards the office, while Gu Ran and Ye Zhenzhen hurried to their classroom.
Seeing Li Sinan walk away, a half-smile appeared on her face as she said softly to Gu Ran, "Student Gu, you have to study hard today too~"
Gu Ran: "..."
"Even though little brother doesn't like to study, it seems you have a very good relationship with the teacher."
Seeing that Gu Ran didn't answer, she continued. Her tone was a bit sour, but her face still maintained an indifferent expression.
"What's with that look? Can't teachers and students get along as friends?"
Gu Ran raised an eyebrow and said to her.
Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen nodded in agreement and said in a quiet, detached tone, "In that case, it makes me look petty."
Gu Ran: "???"
What was with this dramatic tone?
He sucked his teeth, and just as he was about to say something, Ye Zhenzhen headed to the classroom without even looking back.
At the classroom door, she paused again, turned her head to Gu Ran who was following behind, and said, "Student Gu, you have to study hard today too~"
Gu Ran: "..."
After speaking, Ye Zhenzhen's cheeks also turned a bit red. She didn't know why she had spoken in such a sarcastic and weird manner just now.
Gu Ran wouldn't think there was something wrong with her, would he...
...
Returning to the classroom, Gu Ran began his day of studying. For several classes in a row throughout the morning, he didn't do anything else.
Compared to his complete focus, Ye Zhenzhen was having a bit of a headache. Her desk-mate had been pulling her aside and interrogating her all morning about what exactly her relationship with Gu Ran was.
No matter what she said, truth or lie, this gossipy desk-mate just wouldn't believe her. It made her quite speechless, and by the end, she didn't even want to talk anymore, treating it as if there was just an extra fly buzzing in her ear.
When noon arrived, she gently capped her pen. Her cool eyes subconsciously glanced toward the classroom door, wondering if that guy would come looking for her to have lunch.
"Oh my, and you still say there's nothing going on. Your eyes are practically glued to the hallway outside. Has your little lover not arrived yet?"
Her actions were instantly caught by the sharp-eyed Pei Susu, who immediately revealed a sly smile, leaned close to Ye Zhenzhen's ear, and spoke in a coquettish tone.
Feeling the hot breath by her ear, Ye Zhenzhen's body stiffened, goosebumps immediately rose on her skin, and her pretty face couldn't help but flush with embarrassment.
"You... do you have a death wish? Why are you getting so close?"
She pushed away the mouth that was about to kiss her face with one hand. A chill ran down her spine as she frowned deeply and stared at her desk-mate.
Pei Susu thought she had hit the nail on the head, so she leaned in again, reached out an index finger to lift her chin, and said frivolously, "Sister Love, your little lover hasn't arrived yet. Do you want to go eat with this master?"
Having her chin lifted, Ye Zhenzhen pursed her lips and asked in disbelief, "Do you like women?"
Pei Susu: "???"
The smile on her face froze. It took Pei Susu a long time to recover, and she quickly distanced herself from her.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, utter bullshit! Ye Zhenzhen, if you dare spout nonsense again, I'll go lure your darling Gu Ran over here."
Seeing her act like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Ye Zhenzhen regained her calm and composed expression.
"Suit yourself. Also, he's not mine."
...
Meanwhile, upon hearing the lunch break bell ring, Gu Ran closed the exercise book he was working on and gently pinched the bridge of his nose.
He subconsciously stood up and stretched, looking out the window to relax his eyes, which had been tired from a whole morning of studying.
"Ahem!"
But just as he stood up, a few coughs sounded from the podium.
Hao Cuiyun glared at him, then closed the test paper she was explaining, and said quietly, "Alright, I won't keep you past the bell. Someone is already getting impatient."
After saying that, she glanced at Gu Ran, who was standing and stretching, and then clicked out of the classroom in her high heels.
Gu Ran was completely bewildered, not realizing what had just happened.
He had been doing his exercises so seriously that he forgot he was in class.
Standing up to stretch before the teacher had even left, he had successfully angered the homeroom teacher who wanted to extend the class, causing her to leave. He laughed helplessly.
However, he didn't mind. Taking a glance at the drifting clouds outside the window, he pulled along Ye Jinliang, who was still cramming English vocabulary, and walked out of the classroom.
"By the way, I asked my dad to find a tutor, and classes start tonight. If you want to come, we can do it together.
But there are no black stockings, and no tight skirts. There's only a college student who just graduated from a top university, and it's a guy!"
Hearing this, Gu Ran was instantly amused. He shook his head and said seriously, "I'm not going. I have the school beauty tutoring me."
Hearing this, Ye Jinliang touched his forehead and said in surprise, "You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"
Gu Ran: "..."
"You don't believe me?"
"Do you think I should believe you?"
"...Alright, alright, I'll take you to see right now!"
Grabbing Ye Jinliang, who was heading out of the school, they turned around and went to the school cafeteria...

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.

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?

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."

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!

In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
